Chapter 1 The eldest aunt and grandmother come to the door
βjingle bellsοΌjingle bellsοΌjingle all the wayβ¦β¦β
Outside the window, I don't know whose subwoofer behind the motorcycle was ringing non-stop, breaking the cold silence in the low-pitched mud-walled house. As the dripping rain fell on the enamel basin that was placed on the ground in front of the bed to catch the water, a cold and bitter cold wind crept in through the broken window and invaded the sleeping people on the bed.
"Cough, cough ......" The pale girl who was originally asleep on the bed couldn't help but wrap the cotton wool on her body that was a little weighed by her age, and wanted to take a nap in the heavy sleepiness for a while, but after all, she couldn't resist the biting cold, and tried to open her heavy eyelids, looking blankly at the dilapidated and cold room.
Seeing that the rainwater leaking from the roof had almost filled the enamel basin on the uneven dirt floor, Xu Yingzi, who was pale, struggled to get up from the bed and was about to get another basin to pick it up.
"Spending so much money, and lying on the bed with a face, what a debt collector ......"
Just when Xu Yingzi was exhausted and fell on the cold ground with a "bang", an old woman with a tan headscarf wrapped around her head and a few cotton clothes wrapped around her body stood at the door of the room, blocking most of the light, making the already somewhat dim room even darker.
"Auntie......" The person who came was none other than Xu Yingzi's eldest aunt and grandmother, who was now standing at the door, eighty percent because she heard that Xu Yingzi had undergone surgery and came to visit.
"Big brother, I didn't say you," but in the face of Xu Yingzi's weak voice, the aunt and grandmother at the door just snorted coldly, then turned around and complained to Xu Yingzi's grandfather, who was sitting under the eaves and looking at the puddle on the ground in a daze: "It's just a girl, if she dies, she will die, you don't talk about the boss, and let him borrow so much money, you see, this girl looks like this now, what if she has surgery? It's not that she can't carry the burden on her shoulders and can't lift it with her hands." β
"The situation of your family is already difficult, and now there is still a waste, looking at her unstable road, in the future, I am afraid that it will not be able to sell it to someone else's family for a bride price......" Seeing that his eldest brother was just burying his head and staring at the puddle on the ground in a daze, the aunt and grandmother were indescribably angry in their hearts, and regardless of whether anyone responded to them, they raised their voices and said to themselves:" Your family wants to be a good person, and if you want to raise a waste, I can't take care of it, but remember to bring me the 500 yuan that I borrowed last year, this will be the lunar month soon, who can't prepare a little New Year's goods?"
"You go back, I'll tell him when her dad comes back, and I'll find a way to get it for you when the time comes," for fear that if I don't express my position again, my eldest sister will have to catch the old hen she feeds as usual, which is hard to raise and leave for Yingzi to make up for her body.
"It's easy to say, it's been a year, 500 yuan can't be paid, the family is poor," looking at his big brother trembling and walking over to protect the old hen, the eldest aunt and grandmother walked over quickly with broken steps, sandwiched the black haired hen under the armpit, and quickly walked towards the bottom of the yard dam, leaving Xu Yingzi's grandfather behind him shouting one after another: "Chicken, chicken, chicken, my chicken ......"
"Grandpa......"
Xu Yingzi, who struggled to get up from the ground and walked to the door by the wall, looked at the old man with a sad face and a stiff back in the light drizzle, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and shouted softly.
"Yingzi, why did you get up? The doctor said, during this time, you have to stay in bed more, why do you still come out to blow the wind?"
Different from the indifference and silence to the eldest aunt and grandmother just now, the moment he saw his little granddaughter, Xu Yingzi's grandfather's eyes were full of pity, and he hurriedly walked over, ready to help Xu Yingzi into the house to rest.
"Grandpa, grandma is here to collect debts again?"
In the house just now, Xu Yingzi heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters clearly, for the 500 yuan, the eldest aunt and grandmother came to Xu Yingzi's house almost once a month, and there were five old hens just robbed, but she still remembered the 500 yuan deeply.
Glancing at the gray sky, listening to the motorcycles running around outside and the music in the subwoofer, thinking about what the eldest aunt and grandmother said just now, Xu Yingzi was startled and asked, "Grandpa, it's all Layue now?"
"Not yet, today is the twenty-ninth day of the winter moon," I don't know if my granddaughter woke up and asked what she was doing, but Grandpa Xu Yingzi still replied honestly.
"Where's Dad?" Seeing that the aunt and grandmother had been making trouble for so long, Xu Aibing didn't come out, Xu Yingzi secretly said in her heart: Could it be that his father went out to borrow money again?
Sure enough, Grandpa Xu Yingzi sighed, and said without a bit of brilliance in his cloudy eyes: "Your dad is going to get some New Year's goods." β
In order to operate on Xu Yingzi, everything that can be sold at home has been sold, and now I want to get some New Year's goods for the winter, but I can't borrow them?
However, unlike Xu Yingzi's grandfather's confusion about the future, Xu Yingzi's heart is full of fighting spirit. Thinking that after all, he is a person who has walked through the ghost gate once, no matter how hard it is, as long as he can live, the future must be beautiful.
What's more, in order to treat himself, his family has already emptied his family and owed a lot of debts, what can he do if he doesn't cheer up?
"Master, I want to wash my face, you go and boil some hot water for me," Xu Yingzi said to his grandfather after taking a deep breath of the fresh air mixed with cold air in the yard.
"Okay, Yingzi, go into the house quickly, and the master will boil water for you," for fear that the cold wind would blow his precious granddaughter, Grandpa Xu Yingzi told while boiling water.
"Okay," although she wanted to see the rain in the yard again and feel the joy of rebirth, Xu Yingzi, who didn't want her grandfather to worry, still walked towards the dim house. Since she was a child, because of her heart disease, she dragged down the family, and her mother ran away from home when she was young, leaving only her grandfather and father to raise herself and her brother. Now in order to operate on himself, the family owes a lot of debt......
Just thinking about this, Xu Yingzi has a headache, he has to get better quickly, go and earn a lot of money, be filial to his father and grandfather, marry a good daughter-in-law for his brother, and be together with the family and the ......
"Yingzi, why are you up? Come in and lie down, what can you do if the cold wind blows? You can't catch a cold now," an eager female voice came from behind her.
Xu Yingzi didn't need to look back, she knew that it must be her eldest cousin, so she didn't look back and said, "I came out to breathe, and it was stuffy inside." β
