Chapter 2 Gold and Silver Sea
At half past six in the morning, the rest of the Hong family also began to get up one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this era, there is still a single holiday, and there is only one day off a week, so the only day you can sleep on is just "looking beautiful".
Because housewives not only have to hurry up and wash out a week's worth of dirty clothes, but as men, they also have to do all the mending and hard work in the house in this day.
Most people, let alone go out with their children to play, may have to squeeze time to even go to the street to buy things. So to some extent, many people feel that this day off is more tiring than the usual day of work.
The most comfortable person is a master like Chen Liquan, who eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. He doesn't have so many worries and obligations, and he can do whatever he wants.
However, Chen Liquan has become accustomed to practicing naturally, and he will panic if he doesn't practice for a day, so while Hong Yanwu was sweeping the street, he didn't sleep lazy, but sweated hard as usual.
In fact, since yesterday, in order to accompany Chen Liquan, Hong Yanwu has already told Wang Yunlin that he will be completely moved to Chen's house and live with Chen Liquan.
It's just that although people sleep in Chen's house, they still have to eat at home. Hong Yanwu persuaded Chen Liquan to hand over his shopping book to Wang Yunlin, and said that he would pay another ten yuan and some food stamps every month as food expenses, so that the two of them could eat three meals a day together at Hong's house in the future.
So after the practice was completed, Chen Liquan came to Hong's house to have breakfast with Hong Yanwu after washing. It's just that he was still a little unaccustomed to it, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he specially bought some hot baked cakes and brought them over, and also bought a sugar oil cake for Hong Jun, but Wan Yunlin complained a lot because of this.
Wang Yunlin was well-intentioned, she complained that Chen Liquan didn't know how to live.
To put it bluntly, the reason why she was willing to let Chen Liquan come to her house for dinner was not for Chen Liquan's shopping book and ten yuan a month. Instead, thinking of the benefits of Chen Deyuan and his family, he felt that this child had no parents at a young age, and it was really pitiful to often have cold pots and cold stoves on weekdays.
But if it is like this, Chen Liquan's salary will have to be filled. Naturally, she would feel that she was taking advantage of Chen Liquan and going against her original intention of goodwill.
However, Hong Yanwu's attitude is not too opposed, but he thinks it is quite good.
This is not only that his relationship with Chen Liquan has completely reached the level of indistinguishable from each other. is also because he feels that if the money on his body can't be handed over to his mother to spend openly, then it is better to follow this method and buy more food to supplement the family.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were the first to come over for breakfast, and by the time the rest of the Hong family sat down at the dinner table, they had already finished eating. Hong Yanwu took Chen Liquan to his sister's house again, wanting to use his sister's stationery to write a letter to Uncle Xue to report his safety.
This letter was written by Hong Yanwu very simply, it was nothing more than greeting Uncle Xue's body in a common tone between the two, and then introducing the recent situation of the two after returning home.
Then, he specially wrote his plan to go to the Fifth Division of the Public Security Bureau to go through the procedures for moving his household registration to Beijing, which was not only to worry that Uncle Xue would not see him return to the farm, but also to ask the old man to act on his behalf in front of the field manager.
And in the end, he attached five yuan to the letter, and told Uncle Xue that the money he gave was not spent by himself, and it had been well preserved as a memorial to the old man's kindness. I hope that Uncle Xue can take good care of his body and wait for him to settle everything so that he can go back to visit him.
This is indeed the truth, the five yuan that Uncle Xue wrote on the farm phone number has been carefully sandwiched by Hong Yanwu into the glass photo frame on the wall of Chen Liquan's house. Before he went to bed last night, he was still lying on the bed looking at the banknote, and because of this, he remembered Uncle Xue's face that hated iron but could not be made of steel, but was full of love.
At this point in the letter, everything that should be explained has been explained clearly, and Hong Yanwu is ready to wrap up. But when he was about to hand over the pen to Chen Liquan and ask Quanzi to write two sentences by himself, he found that this honest man was already watching from the side.
"Xiao Wu, you ...... Your handwriting is so beautiful, and it's ...... Don't look up the dictionary, it's amazing!"
When Hong Yanwu heard Chen Liquan's praise, he immediately had a feeling of ridicule.
Also, in this year, although he and Chen Liquan have a better education level than most of their peers, it is also because they read a few books with Chang Xianzhang at the beginning.
But since they learned from Yuye, they have been unfamiliar with words for a long time due to the lack of time and book sources. It's no wonder that Chen Liquan was so surprised when he watched himself write a whole article freely.
There was no way, he could only use the excuse of playing a manuscript overnight, and the clouds and mountains were covered with fog and fog, and he was temporarily fooled.
However, because Chen Liquan had been shocked by Hong Yanwu's "literary brilliance", he couldn't make up his mind when he held the pen, and it was time to say something to Uncle Xue.
In the end, at the suggestion of Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan wrote a sentence "I wish Uncle Xue good health and happiness with his family, and I will definitely do a good job".
But after writing it, he was even more embarrassed, because he not only felt that his words were much more ugly than Hong Yanwu's, but also always felt that there were typos in the sentence he wrote.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu said, "Writing a letter focuses on the heart, and the content and text are secondary." ”
Chen Liquan was relieved at this time, and together with Hong Yanwu, he put the letter in the envelope and put it on a stamp.
After that, Chen Liquan took the initiative to ask for the letter to be delivered to the mailbox at the corner of the street, and the Hong family's breakfast would have just been eaten. So Hong Yanwu just took advantage of Wang Yunlin's little free time this day, pulled his mother back to his sister's house, closed the door, and inquired about his father's condition in detail.
You must know that the reason why Hong Yanwu didn't talk to his mother about this matter yesterday was because he couldn't bear to spoil her good mood. Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned her father's illness, Wang Yunlin's face became extremely ugly, and her eyes immediately turned red.
However, it is normal for a son to care about his father's illness after all, and there is no reason not to explain it clearly. So after being silent for a long time, she finally frowned and spoke eloquently......
As mentioned earlier, due to Chen Deyuan's early death, Hong Lu lost the "Dharma Protector King Kong", and his treatment in the sugar pastry company plummeted. Therefore, the cause of his illness was traced back to the fact that the "rebels" transferred him from the food warehouse on the ground to the sundry warehouse converted from an air-raid shelter to work.
Hong Lucheng was in complete confinement underground for half a year, but later the restrictions were slightly relaxed, allowing him to go home once a week. This day went on like this for a long time, until Hong Yanwu was "forced to work", Hong Lucheng had worked in a dark and damp environment for four years.
At the beginning of the onset of this disease, Hong Lucheng himself didn't care, he just felt itchy legs. But the unusual thing is that the disease progresses very quickly, the skin breaks when scratched, and it is not easy to seal. Later, it got worse and worse, and within a month, it reached the point where it was ulcerating and watery, and it hurt even to wear pants.
Until then, he had to go and ask the "rebels" for instructions. After seeing the experience, it was determined that the condition was indeed serious, and these people were gracious and let Hong Lucheng go to the hospital to see a doctor.
Since the smashing of the gang of four in 1976, the hospital no longer rejects the "Black Five". So Hong Lucheng was carried by his eldest son Hong Yan on a bicycle and ran to two tertiary hospitals in a row to seek treatment.
After the doctors of Xuanwu Hospital and Union Hospital diagnosed it, they all concluded that it was "vasculitis", but because the "black five categories" had not yet returned to normal labor insurance treatment at this time, the treatment costs needed to be borne by the Hong family.
But you must know that after the baptism of the "Ten Year Movement", the Hong family was already poor, so Hong Lucheng couldn't afford to see a doctor at all, and he had to tell the doctor to prescribe some cheap medicine to eat.
After that, it didn't get better after taking the medicine, and slowly, Hong Lucheng was so painful that he couldn't even walk.
At this time, the "rebels" of the sugar and pastry company saw that Hong Lucheng had become a wasted person, and he could no longer work, and there was no extra words, so they directly offered him to go home, but they refused to pay a little medical expenses, and still only paid him 30 yuan a month for living expenses.
After returning home, Hong Lucheng's illness became worse day by day. It wasn't until his calf turned from black to ulcerated, and he didn't even dare to see the tragic condition of the injury, so he had to ask his eldest son to send him to the hospital again. But this time, the doctor asserted that he had to amputate his leg to have any hope of living.
Amputation?
Let's not talk about where to make up the cost of this operation, at Hong Lucheng's age and physical condition, daring to do this operation can directly kill him.
Hong Lucheng is an understanding person, and he still wants to keep a whole corpse, so he begged the doctor to find a way to relieve the pain. But the doctor had prejudices in his heart because of the Hong family's composition, so he didn't mean to give him painkillers such as Du Lengding, and only prescribed some painkillers to perfunctory him.
At this point, Hong Lucheng has already seen it, and he just wants to die at home. But the family members were like a catastrophe, and their sad looks every day made him feel bitter in his heart.
Especially Wang Yunlin, she was unwilling to let her husband die in Huangquan, so she meditated hard for a night, and finally made her own opinion, concealed her husband, and went to ask for the Hong family's family friends.
People have feelings, although there was a lot of grudge back then, but after all, many years have passed, as soon as Shou Jingfang heard that Hong Lu was sick, he didn't say a word, and immediately followed Wang Yunlin to the Hong family.
And when Shou Jingfang saw Hong Lucheng's emaciated sick face, he immediately sighed, and he couldn't take care of anything, he didn't take a sip of tea, and he didn't say half a word of greeting, so he directly urged to see Hong Lucheng's wound.
As a result, as soon as he untied the bandage, as soon as he saw Hong Lucheng's legs, Shou Jingfang was full of anger, and couldn't help but scold, "Quack doctors kill people!"
Then he began to cry, regretting that he was late, and said that Hong Lucheng's illness had delayed the hospital, and this was not "vasculitis" at all. This is "ulcers"!
After listening to Shou Jingfang's words, Hong Lucheng and his wife immediately understood that Hong Lucheng's illness was misdiagnosed by the hospital, no wonder it was not good to treat it.
After carefully calling the pulse, Shou Jingfang informed Hong Lucheng and his wife again.
"This disease is purely cold and invagination, and it is not a big deal. It's just that the evil disease has reached this level, and it must be cured badly, and suffering from sin is indispensable. If you leave it alone, you will even break your leg all the time, and the pain alone can kill you. It's just that to cure this disease, the medicine required is really expensive. And it's not short to ask for a 'frustrated tiger dragon' that is as long as a foot to make medicine to induce ......."
Wang Yunlin didn't know what a "frustrated tiger dragon" was, but as soon as she heard that someone was still saved, she immediately asked about the cost. Unexpectedly, Shou Jingfang shook his head, and the words he said later frightened the whole family.
Shou Jingfang said, "The adjuvant medicine is easy to say, it is nothing more than some aconite, atractylodes, poria, peony and the like. It's just that it's expensive in the main medicine of Zhiyang, ginseng is strong, and cordyceps sinensis is too weak, so it's best to use deer antler velvet, deer whip and snow clam oil with Ganping, so that it is roughly worth a lot. What's more, there is also the rare "Frustrated Tiger Dragon" that can adjust yin and yang. It's a rarity, and it's pretty rare. I met the descendants of 'Qingrentang' a few years ago, and he had one in his hand, which was originally intended to be used as an heirloom, but later due to family difficulties, he also had the intention of transferring, but if it is less than 5,000 yuan, I am afraid he will not sell......"
After hearing this condition, Hong Lucheng himself had no hope of curing the evil disease at all. If the Hong family had been put aside in the past, there might still be hope, but now ...... This is obviously God who doesn't let him live, and he can only smile bitterly and sigh that creation has made people.
However, although Hong Lucheng himself thought so, Wang Yunlin and his children were unwilling to give up. And even Shou Jingfang meant to maintain it as much as possible first, and then think of a way after a lot of time.
In this way, Hong Lucheng can neither refute Shou Jingfang's face, nor can he bear to let his wife and children continue to be sad, so he can only pretend to be happy and force hope.
After seeing the doctor that day, Shou Jingfang and Hong Lucheng had a good chat about their respective situations over the years. Before leaving, Shou Jing conveniently gave a prescription for "Yuansan Poison Soup".
It is said that some extremely cheap ordinary drugs are used, which cannot cure the disease, but can play a role in analgesia and delay the disease. In addition, he also specially told him to go to him immediately if his condition was abnormal, and forced him to leave 50 yuan to grab medicine.
Not to mention, Shou Jingfang's medical skills are indeed extraordinary. Since drinking the Chinese medicine soup, Hong Lucheng not only felt that the pain was significantly relieved, but the festering speed of the wound had also become much slower. In any case, there are always a lot of sins.
It's just that while rejoicing, whether it is Hong Lucheng or Wang Yunlin, everyone in the Hong family also understands very well that the effect of this medicine is limited to this, and whether the disease can be cured or not will eventually need to be treated by the method of filling in the gold mountains and silver seas.
