Chapter 5 The Children Who Can't Feed
It was late at night, and the hara at the corner of Zhang Muyang's mouth flowed out. The parents who slept next to them had not yet fallen asleep.
From time to time, there was a swishing sound in the water tank under the dining cupboard, and the old couple had heard this sound for more than 10 days. The children are outside during the day, and they don't take a nap, and they come home when they are crazy enough to come home at night, and they fall asleep as soon as they dip their heads on the pillow, so Zhang Muyang doesn't know that the Yellow River carp that he unknowingly puts in the water tank is betraying himself every night.
Mu Yang, a kind-hearted child, saw the live carp, the first thing he thought of was not delicious, but to raise it, a life, I couldn't bear to watch him being scraped and dissected, how painful it was.
As soon as May entered the door and said that he was stealing fish, when his father immediately made up the truth of the matter, and put it on other children in the family, Lao Zhang may not be so resolute to protect the calf, there is always a correct and appropriate solution to everything, and it is not a big deal, but it can happen to Lao Wu, even if it is an offended ruffian, he must unswervingly show his attitude, this child can not be touched by anyone.
Zhang Muyang is the reverse scale of his parents, not because he is the youngest, but because this child has a hard life, and he was not optimistic about it by the barefoot doctor in the village as soon as he was born.
Zhang Muyang was not normal when he was born, his heart beat significantly faster than other children, and his lips were a little purple. Cheng Yantong, a barefoot doctor in the village, auscultated the child and said that eighty percent of them had heart problems.
Medical care in the village is limited, and the health care in the town is not much better. Although the doctor did not draw a conclusion, judging from Zhang Muyang's performance, the doctor's suspicions still have some justification. Cheng Yantong said at the time: I can only observe and see slowly, if I really get sick one day, I don't need to go outside to seek medical advice, look at God's will!
Cheng Yantong has been practicing medicine in the village for more than 20 years, and he is quite authoritative in this Layuzi village on the bank of the Yellow River. Cheng Yantong really lived up to expectations, and he turned a barefoot doctor into a general practitioner in the human society, with major and minor illnesses, and there was no problem that he couldn't see, and later he taught himself Chinese medicine, and also made a reputation for specializing in infertility.
Cheng Yantong's level represents the highest level in the town. For Zhang Muyang, although he didn't say death, he felt that it was congenital heart disease and the like, which basically had no medicine to treat, and could not go to the root, so the treatment was of little significance. Zhang Yuzhu was originally in a factory and mining enterprise, and specially brought two bottles of old wine to Cheng Yantong's house for Zhang Muyang's matter, and after two glasses of old wine, Cheng Yantong bluntly expressed his views to Zhang Yuzhu.
"Brother, brother said it directly, the doll's heart may be congenital heart disease, brother, you just sold the house at home, sold your wife and children, and you may not be able to cure the doll's disease, you have to count a little bit in your own heart, I have been a doctor all my life, I will not tell anyone other than you about the child, my suggestion is, you and your sister-in-law just know, don't tell the child, live a day is a day, let it be fate!"
Zhang Yuzhu still can't understand, this child has a hard life, he was born with a defective body engine, and he caught up with such an era of lack of food and clothing, thinking about it like this, another glass of old wine went down, and Zhang Yuzhu's big tears fell down.
Parents are the hearts and minds of their children, breaking bones and connecting tendons. You say, with such a doll on the stall, can you not be a parent?
Zhang Yuzhu also has a few good friends in the village. One of the elder brothers, surnamed Wei, has begun to engage in the construction industry, working in the town construction company, and his family is better, that is, he has five daughters under his knees, and he has no son, so he discussed Zhang Yuzhu and passed the child to him.
In 1973, in such a remote village, full of saline-alkali land where rabbits don't, the food produced could not feed a family, and the succession was a way to give the child a way to live, Zhang Yuzhu was actually very clear in his heart.
Lao Wei actually knows that the child has a physical problem, a village, less than 100 households, who has something to say, you don't say that others can know how much, but Lao Wei is optimistic about this child, he recognizes everything, when his own child is raised, let him give his old age to the end.
Lao Zhang Wanyan refused, his children have to be raised by himself, and if the child is wronged in someone else's house, he will not regret it for a lifetime.
At that time, Lao Zhang was in the Boshan Coal Mine, and with his eight-sided exquisite character, he was soon promoted to secretary of the Youth League branch, and he also had a promising future. Lao Zhang was ruthless, resigned, came home to watch his wife and children, the family was together, shielded his wife and children from the wind and rain, and lived a solid life. I am not tired of working in the unit, I am full of big white steamed buns, I have meat for lunch, my wife and children eat bran at home, and I can't support a child, I can't pass this hurdle in my heart.
Only he and his wife Zhang Jinfeng know about this matter until now. The old four slept in the back room, and heard some piecemeal. This girl is also sensible, and these things have always been buried in her heart.
It has never been because of today's fish matter, the entanglement between Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law is innate with Zhang Muyang.
Zhang Muyang's daily performance actually confirms the doctor's judgment, when the parents' observation is clear. Growing to such a large size, Zhang Muyang's pulse rarely drops below 100 beats per minute; his hair is yellow, like hay, without luster and still standing at the roots; drowsiness, he has to sleep every morning, and he has no energy when he sleeps; he also has night sweats when he sleeps, and when he wakes up, his body is often wet.
Zhang Muyang's mattress needs to be dried frequently, and people often ask, "Yangzi wets the bed again?" Zhang Muyang habitually replied, well, wet the bed, what do you want?
There is one thing that Zhang Yuzhu can't figure out, Zhang Muyang has a lot of strength, he is tired of doing crop work, Zhang Muyang will step on his father's back and beat his shoulders, once, Zhang Muyang grabbed his father's shoulders with both hands, gave him relaxation, and accidentally grinned Lao Zhang's teeth in pain.
It's like a tractor, the engine is not powerful, but it is particularly powerful, which is unreasonable. God closed a door and opened a window?
Zhang Muyang is actually aware of his own body, and he can't hold his head up among his friends because of sweating, I am a real wooden bedwetter, but what can I say to others?
Sometimes, his heart will fall to the ground, and his strength will be drained in an instant, Zhang Muyang has no choice but to lie on the spot and gasp for breath. Fortunately, it is not often, Zhang Muyang has the impression that he is once in primary school and once in the third year of high school.
Zhang Muyang has been taciturn since he was a child, but he is very popular in the circle of friends, in a group, Zhang Muyang belongs to the dog-headed military division, and the child who grew up playing with him in the mud is willing to listen to his opinion, if he does something bad, he will not be traced back to him, but his shadow is indispensable.
I forgot when, the uncle of the family gave Zhang Muyang a comment: "The sheep usually speaks woodenly, but in his bones he is a troublemaker and wilted." ”
Wilting is a last resort, bad is also forced, living so big, is this child easy?
