Chapter 39 Poverty alleviation for families
When I look at the child again in the morning, everyone can see that the child is by no means a normal child, not only the eyes are squinting, drooling, and the expression is sluggish, but the response to external stimuli is extremely slow, even the voice is small, hoarse, and the crying is not much louder than the kitten's cry, but even crying is also crying a few throats to finish, will not cry for a long time, it seems that they are more than a year old and will not even hold the bottle to drink, put the pacifier in his mouth will smash it and suck it.
The family looked at the poor child and didn't know what to say.
Grandma hugged the child and sighed: "Alas, Si'er is almost such a big disease, why is this child so bitter, how many fathers and mothers in the world have broken their hearts." Children are sinned, and adults are saddened. ”
Yan Gu said: "Today his father and mother are here, I will give his family some money." ”
Sister Xiaoru also hurriedly said: "We also have to educate and educate them, how can they treat a sick child like this." ”
Grandma said, "Well, it should be." With that, the third sister of Yan Gu came.
The attentive mother hurriedly made him five or six bibs with the household cloth in the morning to prevent saliva from flowing onto his clothes.
Sister Xiaoru's motorcycle was seriously overloaded today, and she took five people to the scenic spot.
The child's father and mother didn't show up for three days, but fortunately, the uncle was okay to hold the child every day, otherwise the three busy people wouldn't have been able to take care of him at all.
When they came back from the scenic spot, the grandmother saw that the child was still in the uncle's arms, and said, "What's wrong?
Sister Xiaoru said: "It seems that they deliberately threw the child to the little uncle, and it was premeditated." ”
Yan Gu said: "Mother, it's really like what Xiaoru said, what should we do?"
Grandma seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and said, "What can I do, if the child's father and mother are so wolf-hearted, God will not spare them." If they want Si'er to help the child, they should tell our family openly, don't hum or ha, throw the child into Si'er's arms and it'll be fine? ”
After speaking, he took the child and said: "What can the child do, it's not all his father's fault, and he threw the child away." Boss, you should go to the village and the police station in the next two days to ask if we can adopt this child. ”
Grandpa said: "I'll go to the village chief and the police station, there are many big things, and the child has been taken by Si'er for the past two days to see if people really throw the child away." ”
Aunt Yan said to her mother: "Sister-in-law, I'll try it tonight, I think he is very honest at night, and he should be good if he doesn't cry or make trouble." ”
The mother said, "I'd better come, you have no experience." One sentence made Aunt Yan red-faced.
Grandma smiled: "It's time to learn if you have no experience, eldest daughter-in-law, you can let Yan'er try it." ”
A month has passed, and the child's parents have not heard from him.
The grandfather proposed to go to the hospital to see what kind of disease the child had, and then prescribe the right medicine to cure the child.
Aunt Yan and her mother took the child to the hospital, and when they came back, they told the grandparents that the child was born with dementia, which was brought from the mother's womb, and was caused by the imperfect neurological development of the brain when the fetus was in the mother's womb.
The family got together to discuss and unanimously decided to adopt this ill-fated child.
Grandma and grandfather are responsible for all the formalities of the child, and soon issued a certificate in the village and registered the child at the police station, Yan Gu said: "The child picked up by the fourth brother will fall into our name, and the fourth brother will have something to do in the future, and the fourth brother will not delay us in doing business when he sees the child." ”
Grandma said: "The big name is still you give the child, I will give the child a nickname, the child can come to our house is also related to our family, I hope the child can be healthy in the future, the nickname is Kangkang, what do you say?" everyone unanimously agreed with the grandmother's opinion.
The uncle has a son, Kangkang.
The weather is cold, and business is light. It is enough to visit the store alone every day, and the money earned in one peak season is much more than the two parents earn in three years.
Sister Xiaoru is often away from home when she is resting, and her mother asks her why she is going, and she always has a reason.
Since Kang Kang arrived home, Uncle is really like we hugged when we were children, and he never leaves his side every day. My sister can now surround my uncle and play with Kang Kang from time to time.
Kangkang's birthday is set for the day he picks him up. Kangkang is not a normal child, although not crying or fussing, but many places can not do without the care of adults, eating is to feed one bite at a time, now it is milk powder with food, eat the main meal at mealtime, add milk powder or steamed eggs in the middle of the meal, less than a month the little guy is obviously fatter than when he first came, I feel hard in my arms.
The little guy now accompanies the uncle every day, and sleeps like a docile cat in Aunt Yan's arms at night. It's just that no matter how funny the family is, he is always wooden, and he is also slow to respond to the goal of the activity. Grandma took the trouble to tease him repeatedly, and said to the family: "Just tease Kang Kang if it's okay, he reacts slowly now, and he will get better if he teases more." ”
Grandma's words have no scientific basis at all, but they are well-intentioned, hoping that Kangkang will really be healthy.
After the weather was cold, Uncle Xiao no longer took Kangkang to the grocery store in the scenic spot.
At the end of the solar calendar, Aunt Yan said to the whole family after a dinner: "Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, Xiaoru and I yesterday gathered the accounts of our store this year, except for the salaries of the three of us, the money earned is here, you keep it." After speaking, he motioned to Xiaoru to put the wrapped bag of money on the table.
The father said: "This money is all earned by your hard work, your sister-in-law and I have not made any effort, we don't want the money, and your sister-in-law and I have a lot of salary, enough to spend." ”
Yan Gu said: "The three of us discussed, our salary is set twice as much as that of the cannery, we are content, and besides, this shop was originally opened in the name of our whole family, we have contributed and earned a high salary, and the rest of the income should be handed over to the family." ”
Grandpa thought for a while and said, "Boss, how much will you pay if you pay the rent normally this year?"
My father quickly reported a number. Grandpa took the wrapped money without speaking, and he clearly saw that there was a string of numbers written on the paper bag.
Everyone looked at Grandpa and didn't know what medicine Grandpa was selling in his gourd. Grandpa opened the bag, and it was neatly filled with hundred-dollar bills and some fifty-dollar bills.
Under the gaze of everyone, the grandfather quickly pointed out the amount of rent that his father said, put it aside, counted out 3,000 yuan and put it on the other side, and pushed most of the rest to the table before saying: " Although there is such a verbal agreement with him, I was thinking that the family did not have much money, and I was afraid that there would be no liquidity after paying the rent, so I temporarily agreed, but I didn't expect to earn a lot this year, it is all Mr. Liu and Shengzi to take care of our family, the rent is cheap and we still don't touch, tomorrow I will send it to Qiangzi. It's not like other people's homes are paid in advance, and we've already stained a lot of light. What do you say?"
Everyone in the family nodded yes. Grandpa handed over the stack of rent money to grandma, and then pointed to the other three thousand and said: "This money is used as the daily expenses of our family this year. ”
The father said, "Dad, don't worry, why do you know so much about living in a family, I'm the boss, I should be the first." ”
Yan Gu said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law suffered a lot outside a few years ago, take this money, and the family will rely on you and your sister-in-law in the future." ”
The grandmother put the money into the mother's hand, and the mother gave it to the father and said, "You have the final say." ”
Grandpa pointed to the rest of the money and said: "I think the rest is divided equally between the three of you, it is not easy for Yan'er to take the four children, and another Xiaokangkang has been added, Xiaoru and Yan'er's third sister are both big daughters to be married, and there will be more places to use money in the future, and you should work hardest and get more." Besides, don't we still have to use money to buy goods? Your mother and I will be idle in the future, and we will take care of our fields, cooking, feeding chickens, and other small tasks, and we will not spend money, and we will do whatever you buy in the future. Is this okay for the old woman?"
Grandma said, "Are you old and confused?"
Grandpa was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, you don't agree?"
Grandma said, "You still missed someone, uncle!"
Grandpa suddenly realized: "Yo." Yo, look at me as an old fool, why did you forget the old man. ”
Sister Xiaoru immediately said, "Grandpa, I haven't forgotten." I've lived in Taiye's house for so long, and I haven't bought anything for my grandfather except for a practice uniform, so I'm ready to give it to my grandfather when I go back in a while. ”
Grandpa said: "Alas, I am not as thoughtful as Xiaoru thought, Xiaoru is really a sensible girl." You don't have to pay this money, Yan'er, you will send 2,000 to your grandfather later. There is also the matter of motorcycles, this Qian Yan'er is out, after all, it is for the convenience of Si'er to come and go, and you are ready to wait for the New Year to see the 'Short Black' to others. ”
Yan Gu said: "Dad, then we have a little more, you see that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are still with the first year of junior high school and Dandan, and the first year of junior high school has more than a year to study in junior high school, and it also costs money, and the three of us will each give the eldest brother and sister-in-law points." ”
Sister Xiaoru was naturally happy, so she said, "That's a must." ”
Later, my mother couldn't resist Aunt Yan and Sister Xiaoru, so she had to accept the money. It was only in that year that the family really became more prosperous.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Aunt Yan and Sister Xiaoru discussed it, Aunt Yan was responsible for the New Year's clothes of grandparents and Grandpa Zhang, Sister Xiaoru was responsible for our whole family, and the third sister of Yan Gu was responsible for the whole family of Miss Yan's family.
Qiangzi didn't dare to take charge of his grandfather's rent, he said: "Let's talk about it when Mr. Liu comes." ”
