Chapter 5: The Happiness of Childhood
Seeing that Chen Hansheng's mouth was full of blood, Xie Chunxiang was both heartbroken and angry, and scolded his son: "How did you behave like this old man? How can you make your son's mouth full of blood?"
"Where is my business?" Chen Huaguo said, "It was he who played with the blowtorch himself, used the blowtorch as a trumpet, and learned from the trumpeter soldiers in the movie, but accidentally fell down and poked his throat!"
"What?" Xie Chunxiang was shocked and asked again and again, "How was the poke?"
When my grandmother said that it was not in the way, it meant that there was no major problem.
"It's definitely in the way!" Chen Huaguo said, "I'm afraid I can't keep my throat!"
"It's really, it's true!" Xie Chunxiang scolded Chen Huaguo for not looking at things, and asked Chen Hansheng to open his mouth for her to see.
Chen Hansheng opened his bloody mouth while crying.
Xie Chunxiang saw the bloody throat, crooked to one side, as if it was about to fall, her heart suddenly felt very uneasy, she hurriedly scolded Chen Huaguo, "Don't hurry up and send it to the hospital to see! ”
Only then did Chen Huaguo realize the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately found a few people and sent Chen Hansheng to Hengche Town.
Xie Chunxiang couldn't follow her to the hospital with a pair of thin feet, so she could only be anxious in the house. While she was wandering around the house, she kept scolding Chen Huaguo in her mouth, following her son, but letting her son do such a big thing. Thinking of the throat that was about to fall, Xie Chunxiang was so anxious that she shed tears, and kept begging the Bodhisattva in her heart to protect her, not to let her grandson become a dumb person who couldn't speak in the future.
When it was about to get dark, Chen Huaguo came back from the hospital with Chen Hansheng.
Although Chen Hansheng refused to speak, there was no blood in his mouth.
Xie Chunxiang hurriedly asked, "How is my grandson?"
"It's not as serious as you think!" Chen Huaguo said, "The doctor looked at it, said that it was just a puncture, and it didn't mean to fall, so he stopped the bleeding, gave him an injection, and gave him three days of medicine." ”
"Bodhisattva protection!" Xie Chunxiang said, "If I really lose my throat, my grandson will be finished." ”
Chen Huaguo said with a smile, "If I really get rid of his throat, I'm afraid I won't be able to live!"
"Of course!" Xie Chunxiang was unforgiving, even if it was his own son.
"Mother!" Chen Huaguo said, "Actually, it's not serious, why were you shocked at the time, saying that Chen Hansheng's throat couldn't be saved!
"Maybe I'm looking away?" Xie Chunxiang said apologetically.
Chen Caomin came out and said, "She! As long as it's about his grandson, a fish has twelve bubbles, and if it's okay, it will be said that there is something wrong, and that small things will become big things! Big things will make the world chaotic! I have also seen people who love their grandson, and I love their grandson, but they are not as extreme as her!"
"What's wrong with being extreme?" Xie Chunxiang choked up and said, "My grandson, I'm going to be extreme! I'm willing to be extreme! Others don't know, you don't know? This child has been sick since he was a child, and how many sins has he suffered? Also, he was born in more than six months, and his health is so poor, can I not be extreme? If I am not extreme, who will be extreme?"
Seeing that Xie Chunxiang was moved by true feelings, Chen Huaguo was not easy to say. Chen Caomin also saw that it was good, so he took the ground and threw away a sentence. "Jiao'er is not filial, Jiao'er is on the stove! You are too accustomed to raising, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Xie Chunxiang said, "Don't worry! I will teach him the truth of being a human being!"
At this point, Chen Caomin and Chen Huaguo had nothing to say, so they had to walk away.
Xie Chunxiang pulled Chen Hansheng into his arms, and asked Chen Hansheng if he was still in pain, whether the pain was so bad that it sounded like nonsense, but it could make Xie Chunxiang express his love. Chen Hansheng wanted to speak, but the doctor told him not to speak for three days, and Chen Hansheng just nodded or shook his head. Seeing that Chen Hansheng just shook his head or nodded, Xie Chunxiang knew that the child couldn't speak, and he couldn't ask him to speak, so he stopped what he wanted to say, stood up and went to make food for Chen Hansheng.
As soon as Xie Chunxiang brought a bowl of egg noodles to the table, Chen Huaguo ran over and shouted, "No! The doctor said that you can't eat for three days! You can't eat anything!"
"Then the child will starve to death!" Although Xie Chunxiang also felt this way, she let go of her love.
"I want to eat!" Chen Hansheng, who hadn't eaten for a long time, looked at the bowl of egg noodles, and his eyes lit up.
"Can't eat!" Chen Huaguo said with a tough attitude, "Within three days, I can only drink water and can't eat anything!"
"I really want to starve my grandson to death!" Xie Chunxiang said this, and turned back to persuade Chen Hansheng, "My son, you just bear with it first, and after three days, the milk will make up all the things for these three days, so that you can eat enough!"
Chen Hansheng looked at his grandmother in despair and reluctantly chose to give up. Hunger made him cry aggrieved.
Xie Chunxiang persuaded him with good words, and turned into some sugar water, and while carefully feeding it to Chen Hansheng's mouth, he persuaded Chen Hansheng, "See if you are moving well for the second time, whether you are moving or not! You, the son of Tiangangxing, just don't let me worry!"
Although Xie Chunxiang said this about her grandson, she is also an idle person, although she can't work in the field because she was born with a pair of thin feet, the housework is almost all done by her. But she has never been idle, but now she has to temporarily choose to give up because of her grandson's throat injury, and take care of this grandson she loves like a pearl in her palm. It was only when her grandson was coaxed to sleep by her that she was able to go about the endless chores.
The three days passed quickly, and Chen Hansheng began to speak.
Xie Chunxiang began to make delicious things for Chen Hansheng, in addition to making egg noodles and hot meat noodles, she also cooked white porridge. She began to prepare the food three days in advance, some of it was her own savings, some of it was borrowed from the next door or so, and some of it was specially given by some people who knew that he loved his grandson.
Xie Chunxiang not only cooked food for Chen Hansheng, but also fed Chen Hansheng bite by bite. Chen Hansheng could have eaten it by himself, but Xie Chunxiang wanted to feed it. Not just feed, but also taste one bite at a time to see if it is hot. Not too hot, not too cold. It's too hot for fear of hurting Chen Hansheng's throat, and it's too cold for fear of making Chen Hansheng's stomach ache. Xie Chunxiang's reluctance, this kind of carefulness, even Chen Caomin was envious, jealous and hateful, he said to Chen Hansheng in front of Chen Hansheng, "You are really his heart! I usually don't visit, I can't even touch an egg, you are good, every day, there are meals, you are really more emperor than the little emperor!"
"What?" Xie Chunxiang said deliberately, "I want to love my grandson like this!
"Hmph!" Chen Caomin said, "You owe me to death! When I have a salary tomorrow, I will make a small pot of stew meat in the back room and eat it, and I will owe you to death!"
"Do you owe me to death?" Xie Chunxiang said, "I am not like you in my life, I only want to live my life! You are only afraid that you will not owe others, but only your grandson! Your grandson, who is close to your relatives, can you hide in the back room and stew meat, can you eat it? Can you swallow it? If you don't give your grandson two mouthfuls, you are still a father?"
Chen Caomin was embarrassed and had to walk away.
As soon as Chen Caomin left, Xie Chunxiang said to Chen Hansheng, "Tomorrow, if your father-in-law hides in the back room and secretly stews meat alone, as soon as I smell the fragrance, I will tell you, you go to call his door, see if he can't open it, he wants to open it, you go in and argue for food, see if you give it, if he doesn't give it, or if you don't open the door, I will tell this matter, so that people all over the world know that you have such a father, and if you don't get angry with him, you will be ashamed of him!"
Chen Hansheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "If a person eats secretly, I'm afraid the public can't do this kind of thing." ”
"He's only done it!" Xie Chunxiang said, "He is a tailor, and he eats and drinks well in other people's houses for three days, and he is used to eating his mouth, just like a cat smelling fishy, he is used to it, and he will lose his temper if he doesn't eat meat for three days!"
Chen Hansheng smiled when he heard this, in fact, he didn't care about eating well, he was just interested in playing.
Chen Hansheng's throat gradually returned to normal, and he was no longer sick as often as usual, this situation made Xie Chunxiang see it in his eyes and be happy in his heart. However, seeing that his grandson was still so thin and short, especially when his grandson came together with other children, Xie Chunxiang's heart was filled with more sorrow.
Xie Chunxiang specially stood on tiptoe, walked a few miles crookedly, and asked Na Langzhong: "You say, why is my grandson always so thin? Why can't he get as fat as other people's children? Even if he is a little fatter and taller, it warms my heart when I look at it." ”
You Langzhong saw Xie Chunxiang's love for his grandson, and said with a smile, "With this physique, I'm afraid he will never get fat! ”
"Is there any way to make him fat?" Xie Chunxiang asked seriously, very solemnly.
"There's no good way!" You Langzhong said honestly, "The best nutrition is to eat more vegetables and eat more to maintain adequate nutrients." ”
"I heard that eating ginseng swallow can make you fat, is it true?" Xie Chunxiang simply asked.
"It has a role. You Langzhong still told the truth, "However, without basic nutrition, ginseng swallow will not work." Moreover, the child has to be not sick, and it is useless to eat it if he is sick. ”
"Is my kid useful?" Xie Chunxiang continued to ask, adding, "He's not very sick now. ”
"You can try. You Langzhong said tentatively, it can be regarded as a kind of recognition.
Xie Chunxiang didn't feel that this trip was in vain, she even felt that You Langzhong's words were an affirmation and proof.
However, after returning home, Xie Chunxiang began to feel worried. Not to mention ginseng, it is the basic ration, and it is very tight every month. A family of seven mouths, if you don't save it, you will stop it.
After a long period of hard life, Tailor Chen, who was used to eating his mouth, finally got that heart. He didn't have anything to do for a few days, so he secretly took a few small money, went to Chen Jiahe's shop, secretly bought four taels of meat, and then hid in the back room without telling all his family, and used a small tandoor to stew quietly.
No matter how secret Chen Caomin is, it will eventually be exposed. After the aroma of stewed meat wafted out, Xie Chunxiang took a broom in his hand, pretended to sweep the floor, and then pulled Chen Hansheng to the outside of Chen Caomin's house and began to knock on the door.
Chen Caomin had long known that Xie Chunxiang was going to break in sooner or later, but he pretended not to hear.
Xie Chunxiang knocked again.
Chen Caomin reluctantly opened the door and was ready to close it at any time.
Xie Chunxiang hurriedly pulled out Chen Hansheng who was hiding behind him, and was about to push in, when Chen Caomin closed the door again and latched it. Xie Chunxiang said through the door, "The grandsons of your relatives are not allowed to go in and take a bite, and you are afraid that you have done too much to eat alone, right?
Xie Chunxiang's words had a strong stimulating effect, and also made Chen Caomin, who was originally guilty, immediately open the door and let Chen Hansheng in.
Although Chen Hansheng was not delicious, the strong aroma of meat still attracted him quickly. Chen Caomin didn't want to share it with him equally, so he scooped one-third of it into a small bowl and let him serve it out to eat, instead of sharing it with his grandchildren.
Xie Chunxiang said angrily, "This old thing is selfish, what will it grow if you eat more?"
Chen Hansheng put a bowl of meat on the table and said to Xie Chunxiang, "Milk!
Xie Chunxiang was suddenly moved to tears, she touched Chen Hansheng's head and said, "My son! At a young age, you know how to be grateful and know how to share! Not like your father-in-law, you are a solitary eater! With your intimate words, I am more flavorful than eating meat! I don't love you in vain!"
As he spoke, a man came in through the door. The person who came was wearing a set of uniforms, obviously a member of the public family, and before Xie Chunxiang could ask, the person in uniform said, "Is Chen Huaguo at home?"
Xie Chunxiang has seen a lot of people in uniform in the past, and it is not a good thing for this kind of person to come, she didn't dare to say that Chen Huaguo was at home, and she didn't want to say that Chen Huaguo was at home, so she just asked, "Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Yes!" said the man, "we have something very important to inform him!"
Xie Chunxiang suddenly became nervous, she subconsciously protected Chen Hansheng in front of her, and had no choice but to call Chen Huaguo into the room.
