"Sister Hua." A clear voice came, Hua Shu looked up and saw a little girl about ten years old walking quickly against the scorching sun.

She remembered this girl as Sun Lan, who was two years younger than her.

Sun Lan's mother died because of a difficult childbirth. Later, her father married her stepmother and was abused by her stepmother since childhood. When he was eight years old, his father died unexpectedly at a construction site. The stepmother remarried with his biological daughter, while Sun Lan was left in the orphanage.

She still remembered that when the orphanage was demolished, Sun Lan was almost twelve years old. Because most families were reluctant to adopt older children, it took a while before she was adopted by a rural couple. However, she learned later that the couple was not kind at all, but a daughter-in-law raised by their stupid son.

She didn’t know much about Sun Lan. She only heard that the fool had only three or four years of intelligence, and knew nothing. Sometimes he would beat others if he was upset. Sun Lan not only had to take care of the work outside the house. , And had to endure the violence of fools, it was very difficult.

Just when she was in a trance, Sun Lan had already come to her, leaning on her thin face flushed by the sun, stretched out her thin palms to probe her forehead, and looked at her worriedly like a little adult. I can't wipe it with sweat.

"It's still burning. Why is Sister Hua getting up? Go back to bed and lie down." Sun Lan retracted her hand and quickly helped Hua Shu back to the room.

Sun Lan was small but very strong, and it took almost no effort to support Hua Shu. Hua Shu did indeed have weak legs, so she let her help herself back to the house.

After Hua Shu sat down on the bed, he noticed that Sun Lan was carrying a small plastic bag and looking at the contents, it seemed that it was the medicine dispensed by the pharmacy.

"Xiaolan?" Hua Shu tried to speak, and she still couldn't believe what she saw in front of her was true.

"Huh? Sister wants to drink water?" Sun Lan answered her, put the plastic bag on the small square table, poured her a glass of warm water, and gave her anti-fever medicine. "Other medicines are to be taken after meals, and my sister can take them. After taking the anti-fever medicine, I will sleep for a while. I will do the laundry first and cook when everyone comes back.

"Everyone?" Hearing this word, Hua Shu's mind appeared with immature faces.

Sun Lan thought she was asking the whereabouts of other people, so she replied: "Aunt He took Xiaobin and Xiaoyou to the hospital. Xiaoya and Xiaoqing took other children to see the dragon boat, but the sun is getting bigger and bigger. Everyone should be very happy. I will be back soon."

Hua Shu was excited, but at a loss, he hung his head quickly to cover up his emotions. When she touched her hands, she only realized with hindsight that her palms were so thin and her arms were so slender.

"What day is today?" Hua Shu asked softly, his voice was a little hoarse because of fever, and his throat was a little sore when he spoke.

"Today is June 9th, Dragon Boat Festival." Sun Lan didn't think about it, but thought that Hua Shu had been ill for a few days and had forgotten the time.

Hua Shu suppressed the shock and excitement in his heart, quietly took the anti-fever medicine, and gave Sun Lan an empty cup of water.

"Go ahead, I'll sit by myself for a while."

"Okay, I'll go out first. My sister must take a good rest and can't go outside to get some sun." Sun Lan solemnly instructed, her mature and stable appearance seemed to be more like an older sister than Hua Shu.

The excited Hua Shu didn't care about being funny, so he nodded seriously, and after watching her leave, he couldn't wait to get up and go to the small desk.

There is a plastic round mirror hanging on the wall next to the small desk.

Hua Shu looked at herself in the mirror, although she was almost certain, but she was still shocked to see what she was like now.

In the mirror, she has a tender and thin face, her face is flushed abnormally because of her illness, even if she has a pair of deep eyes that are different from those of a child, she looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
