Chapter 17: Accidentally Hurting Hachiro
Winter solstice, Baiyin Village, Yang Qiu's house.
The winter solstice is as big as the year, and the Yang family attaches more importance to this solar term.
There was a little sister behind Yang Dong, called Yangmei, there was a famine one year, there was no rations to eat, and the little bayberry finally couldn't stand it, and starved to death on the day of the winter solstice......
Later, the family gradually improved, and every time Yang's father and Yang's mother arrived on the day of the winter solstice, they would cook a sumptuous meal, and the whole family would have a big meal.
Yang's father is not fond of alcohol, Rao is so, every day will buy a pot of rice wine to drink, the sons smell the sour aroma of this wine is attractive, and they will also salivate, Yang's father will ignore Yang's mother's obstruction, use the tip of chopsticks into the wine bowl, each person feed a chopsticks head rice wine to taste.
Every time I drink too much, I will sit on the kang, my eyes are full of tears, and I sing a song "Ao Bao Meeting", as if I am missing my beloved little daughter, the singing is soft, the voice is high-pitched, and the listeners are all unmoved......
Every year on this day, the brothers will gather together, prepare some good dishes, buy rice wine brewed by fresh people in the pot as usual, and go to the eldest brother Yang Chun's house for a family banquet.
It's just that no one sings that song "Ao Bao Rendezvous" anymore.
On this day this year, everyone prepared wine and food, and came to Yang Qiu's house at noon for the winter solstice, and the children of the eldest brother and second brother's family were in a hurry to go to their respective aunts' and uncle's houses as soon as they were on holiday, and they were also clean at the moment.
First, Xiaofang has just given birth to Hachiro, and she can't take care of herself in her diet and daily life, and she still needs someone to take care of her.
The second is that everyone thinks that Yang Qiu has been unlucky recently, and he was innocently involved in two murders, and he must be depressed and embarrassed.
The whole family was reunited, the fourth child was not there, and everyone didn't forget to call their younger siblings Cuiying.
Cui Ying didn't want to go, since Yang Dong was detained, she locked herself in her home all day, maybe she was afraid that the neighbors would see her laugh.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law said that the half-supported half-frame was regarded as inviting Cuiying.
Cui Ying was a little resentful of Feng Qiu in her heart, when her brother was not in shape, she took her younger brother out to gamble all day long, and when something happened, she left her younger brother and ran away by herself......
What's even more excessive is that the 100 yuan that the second brother took out to smoke Yang Dong was also used by him to pay off gambling debts, how could Cui Ying not be angry.
The sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law fried two light dishes with less salt for Xiaofang, who only eats millet porridge and boiled eggs on weekdays, smelled the aroma of vegetables from the outhouse, and sat up early, waiting for the meal.
After a while, the eldest brother Yang Chun smiled and moved the kang table up, and the second brother followed closely behind with a large stack of freshly washed dishes and chopsticks in both hands and put them on the table.
The exquisite dishes were served by everyone, and the aroma of the dishes filled the whole room, and the charming taste of reunion was ......
Hachiro had just been breastfed and fell asleep obediently on the kang.
The dishes were ready, and everyone sat around the table, chatting while eating.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law took the lead in sending blessings, and the others followed suit in order.
When the fourth brother's daughter-in-law, Cuiying, saw that her eyes were red, she poured a glass of wine, raised her glass to Yang Qiu, and said:
"I salute the third brother, thank you for making my family ugly, I can't raise my head in front of outsiders, my Dongzi has no other ability, and I still have the ability to help you pay off your debts. ”
These words were too ruthless, and for a while the room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Yang Qiu's face turned even red, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Yang Qiu, what the hell is going on here!"
Xiaofang said angrily.
Xiaofang didn't shy away from talking about these things, but she took care of the children morning and night, and focused all her attention on Hachiro, her brain was dizzy during the day, and when everyone communicated, she was either asleep, or her brain was dizzy, she only remembered the fragments, and she couldn't connect the lines, listening to Cui Ying say this, she couldn't sit still, and she wanted to ask about it.
"Don't argue, today is the winter solstice, everyone will be reunited together, and we will talk about it later. ”
Yang Chun, as the eldest brother, is like a father, so he stood up to mediate at this moment.
"Reunion...... Reunion, you are reunited, I am not reunited!"
Cuiying's temper came up but she was not forgiving, after speaking, she raised her glass and drank the wine in the cup, she was pregnant, how dare everyone let her drink, the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law hurriedly got up and snatched it.
Coincidentally, the three of them tore and snatched, and the wine in the cup was spilled, and it was poured on Hachiro's face impartially.
This frightened Xiaofang, she screamed, hurriedly crawled to the child's side, took the paper to wipe it, and shouted:
"Water, come to the basin, hurry!"
Yang Qiu hurriedly got off the ground, went to the iron pot in the outhouse, fetched a basin of warm water, and brought it in.
At this time, the child woke up and cried non-stop, Xiaofang just wiped the liquor around her eye sockets, she saw that some liquor had been poured into Hachiro's nostrils and lips, and she was shocked, crying while continuing to wipe with a wet towel.
Cui Ying, who knew that she was in trouble, stayed where she was, she was terrified in her heart, but her face showed a look of disapproval, tilting her head and staring at Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu was really angry now, pointed at Cui Ying, and said angrily:
"Although I am a good gambler, if Yang Dong doesn't want to gamble, I can still tie him up with a rope and use a knife to carry him?
Yang Qiu's chest was violent, as if he had no time to be angry, piling up in his chest.
"My second brother's one hundred, and the one hundred I promised, don't worry, I will definitely return it to you with interest within five days!"
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Cui Ying snorted dryly and walked away with her stomach straight......
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law surrounded Xiaofang, helping while blaming themselves, saying that they shouldn't have called Cuiying to come.
No matter how Xiaofang coaxed, Hachiro still cried non-stop and didn't eat the milk, and everyone panicked even more, and decided to let Xiaofang take the child to the town health center to have a look.
Yang Chun hurriedly went home and put on the carriage, Xiaofang wrapped up the crying Hachiro, everyone sat in the carriage, and rushed to the town clinic together.
On the day of the winter solstice, the temperature was low, and the carriage was much faster than the ox cart, Xiaofang sat in the lee, wrapping Hachiro in a cotton jacket, Hachiro's little face was red, and his cry was particularly loud......
The day that should have been happy became like this, and everyone was sad when they heard the child's terrible cry.
Feng Chun's heart was even more anxious, and the horsewhip waved in a circle in the air, and kept slashing at his old horse, crackling in the whistling wind.
The old horse was in pain, and he couldn't stop neighing, and his hooves alternated very quickly.
At about half past two in the afternoon, a group of people rushed to the town health center, Yang Qiu didn't wait for Yang Chun to pull the reins, he held the edge of the carriage and jumped down first.
"Give me the child!" Yang Qiu shouted.
Xiaofang hurriedly handed Hachiro to Yang Qiu, who quickly ran into the hospital, Yang Chun walked forward for a while, found a telephone pole, pulled the reins violently, and called out in a long voice:
"Appeal ......"
The old horse slowly stopped, Yang Chun pulled up the hand brake, tied the horse to the tree, took out a bundle of hay from the horse's back, and threw it to the old horse.
Everyone hurriedly rushed to the health center, and just walked to the door, but saw Yang Qiu holding the child and ran out in a panic......
"Third child, why didn't you take the child to see the doctor, why did you come out!" Yang Xia felt that the situation was not right, and asked first.
"Quick...... Come on...... Go to the county hospital...... Big...... The doctor said, look here...... Can't see ......."
Yang Qiu said breathlessly.
As soon as Xiaofang heard this, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she shook and almost fell, and her sister-in-law hurriedly helped her when she saw this.
How dare everyone slack off, and hurriedly ran to the passenger station......
