Chapter 32: Suspicion
Guo Shuyun sat beside the hospital bed, looked at his daughter, who looked like him, couldn't help but sigh softly, changed the hot water again, silently helped his daughter wipe her body with warm water, and wrung a hot towel on her daughter's forehead, and then sat aside to take care of her daughter.
Although there are no patients in the county hospital, Ruofei is not in a single ward, so there are still other patients next to her, Guo Shuyun was busy at first, and people were embarrassed to talk to her.
"What's wrong with the child?" The sick man in the next bed is an old man, who has been lying there quietly, and occasionally I can hear the old man humming because of the pain, this is a middle-aged woman, it seems that she is either a daughter or a daughter-in-law, but generally speaking, it should be a daughter-in-law, and it is quite rare for a daughter-in-law to take care of her in-laws in the hospital.
Guo Shuyun is also a talkative, and when he saw someone talking, he replied with a smile: "Sick, with a high fever, which one is in your house?"
"My dad, a few days ago, he fell off the shore of the field and broke his foot, so he was hospitalized. The woman also replied, but there was a little gloom between her eyebrows, and she was worried about the old people in the family.
"Oh, it's just you at home, don't you have any brothers and sisters?" Guo Shuyun continued to chat, and the two of them slowly got into a conversation, and after a while, they seemed to be old friends who had known each other for many years, and people had to marvel at the social skills of these two people.
And Ruofei seemed to be in a sea of fire in her dream, being grilled by the scorching fire, and her heart was in pain, but she had no way to wake up from the dream, so she could only boil it slowly, and Ruofei didn't know what was wrong with her.
Time passed slowly in small talk, Ruofei woke up once in the middle, Guo Shuyun fed her some water, and the person fell asleep in a daze, and the doctor also came to see a few times, but the situation was not optimistic.
At noon, Zhao Cuiying brought soup and meals with a thermos flask, at this time Guo Shuyun had already wiped out the bottom of the bed next to him, the old man's surname was Song, he lived in Hualien Village, and there were three sons and a daughter at home, and none of the three sons refused to care after the old man was injured, only the only daughter sent her father to the hospital.
Speaking of the countryside at this time is really the case, the Chinese people have always believed in raising children to prevent old age, but there are really a few sons who will support their parents for the elderly, the old people can move when they rely on themselves, and they can't move on all kinds of dislikes, even if they are old-fashioned, they are all kinds of complaints, but they have never thought about how their parents raised them.
But the daughter will be considerate of her parents, even if she has no money to let her parents live a good life, but if she is sick or something, most of them are daughters who come back to take care of them, and her daughters do more clothes, shoes and socks are also made by daughters, and sons and daughters-in-law are less managed, so the idea of patriarchy is unacceptable, in fact, seriously speaking, daughters are parents' little padded jackets, and sons are white-eyed wolves.
In short, the woman who took care of her father next to her was called Song Yueqin, and Zhao Cuiying came to deliver food to her daughter at this time, but no one cared about the father and daughter over there, on the one hand, because the home was far away, and on the other hand, there was a girl from Old Man Song's house to take care of her, so she couldn't leave.
At this time, seeing that Guo Shuyun's family had a meal, Song Yueqin hurriedly asked Guo Shuyun's mother and daughter to help take care of her father, and she took the lunch box and prepared to go to the hospital canteen to make some meals, although there were many restaurants in the county at this time, but the restaurants were too expensive after all, and the Song family had no relatives in the county, so it was naturally not good to borrow money from other people's houses to cook, so they could only go to the canteen to make some meals, which saved effort and money.
Here, Zhao Cuiying opened the lunch box she brought from home, green vegetables and hot white rice, fried oily eggplant, and pork rib soup with a thermos flask, and suddenly bursts of fragrance came to her nose.
Although it is a peasant family, it is not necessarily as fine as the people in the city, and can eat big fish and meat, but the food is better than fresh and delicious, after all, it is made at home, and there is also pork rib soup that has been stewed all morning.
Guo Shuyun got out of the lunch box and began to eat, over there Zhao Cuiying also poured out some of the soup in the thermos bottle, it was pork ribs yam soup, the ribs had been stewed all morning, and the yam was also a local yam, which was completely different from the yam that Ruofei saw in the vegetable field later, the local yam is lumpy, the taste is a little powdery, it is very suitable for stewed soup, but it is more difficult to handle, but the stewed soup is particularly delicious.
At this time, not only the pork ribs are crispy, but also the yam, as long as it is gently pressed with a spoon, it will become a paste, because Ruofei is still asleep, and it is not realistic to let herself eat, so Zhao Cuiying crushed the yam and mixed it with the soup, and slowly fed it to Ruofei's mouth.
To say that Ruofei's situation is really not good, where is someone who has been unconscious, Zhao Cuiying was feeding Ruofei food, while secretly thinking in her heart, she always felt that Ruofei's illness was not simple.
"Shu Yun, do you remember when you picked up a stone pendant and came back?" Zhao Cuiying gossiped with her daughter while feeding Ruofei food.
Guo Shuyun was eating, and when he heard his mother ask, he suddenly stopped eating, glanced at his mother incomprehensibly, and then nodded and replied while eating: "Remember, that pendant almost killed me back then." ”
Zhao Cuiying naturally understood the danger at that time, and when she heard her daughter say this, her heart was even more up, and she sighed and said: "Shu Yun, Xiaofei's illness is strange, yesterday she said that she took a pendant from my dressing box, and I saw that it was the pendant back then, but you also know that the pendant was thrown into the channel by me back then, Xiaofei has been studying in school these days, and she hasn't gone to the channel with anyone to play, so it is impossible to pick it up." ”
"Besides, it's been so many years, and I'm afraid that the pendant has long been washed away, but the pendant that Xiaofei took is exactly the same as it was back then, is there something wrong with this?"
At first, Guo Shuyun was still eating and listening, but now he couldn't eat.
"Mom, then, what about the pendant?" Even if Guo Shuyun didn't want to be superstitious, he was faintly chilled at this time.
"I was so shocked that I took it off my scarlet neck and threw it in the pond under our vegetable garden. Zhao Cuiying replied, she was frightened when she saw it for the first time, so she took it from Ruofei's neck at that time.
"Mom, how can you be sure of that pendant? Could it be wrong?" Hearing his mother say that he lost it, Guo Shuyun faintly had a fluke mentality, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, and she couldn't be sure, but how did that bad luck find their mother and daughter.
