Chapter 47: Stolen
Since my home was burglarized, my wife has fallen into pain and despair, and a series of past events have come to my heart: since I resigned and entered C City to run shoes and hats wholesale, he was worried and scared everywhere, and he was not at ease.
The family is in love with the world, and the good wife has to handle it alone.
Ten acres of land still need to be cultivated, in order to take care of the housework, take care of the parents, and raise the children, it is always up before dawn, and it is late at night to wash and scrub and feed the children.
Menghua and Mengzhen are not separated, since they were pregnant with Mengzhen, Menghua, who is a few months old, is all fed.
Often hungry and crying, Lotus had to use pasta instead of ** feeding.
All day long, I was busy boiling eggs, crumbling them through a sieve, then adding white sugar and wheat flour, making them into oil cakes, and waiting for the children to be hungry and take it to satisfy their hunger.
Sometimes, after eating the oil cakes, it is too late to make another kang, so I have to fill the child's stomach with malt milk essence and lotus root flour rice paste.
One night, when Menghua was feeding, she was hungry and full, and she had a bad stomach, and she cried in pain, but this time she frightened Lotus, so that her daughter Zhenzhen, who was only a few years old, looked at the three children, got up by herself, braved the light rain and stepped on the mud, and went to the brigade clinic a few miles away to ask for a doctor.
Due to the urgency of seeking medical treatment, and the fear of fear, I slipped and fell a few times all the way before I invited the doctor home.
In the spring of one year, there was a flu in the village, and the three children in the family were infected, which made it even more difficult for Lotus to take care of this, those two to cry, to take care of those two, to cry this one. The crying lotus heart was like fire, anxious, injections, medicine, a whole week of busy to see the better, and when the three children were well, the lotus also lost a few pounds.
When there is little work in the field, the lotus sews and washes, takes care of the four children, and takes care of the housework.
In summer, after a tiring day under the scorching sun, I went home from work, and I had to go into the stuffy kitchen to cook for my family.
The harvest season is even busier, sometimes I can't eat a meal a day, I am hungry and full, and I still have to insist on finishing the farm work, and after the season is busy, the bones are as uncomfortable as falling apart.
That day, the old man died in my village, at the time of the funeral, Menghua was playing on the side of the road, suddenly heard the shouting, was frightened, returned home and cried non-stop, the high fever did not go away at night, convulsions, the whole family panicked, it was the elder brother who took the bicycle to the rack car, ran all the way, shouted and entered the county hospital, and was able to recover under the doctor's superb medical treatment.
In order to cure the disease of Dream Flower, Lotus tried her best and broke her leg, as long as she heard that there was a doctor who could cure the convulsions, Lotus went to pray. Even the rural witch Shenhan went to beg several times, and the cinnabar Shensha made a lot of them, until Menghua was discharged from the hospital, and then he didn't ask for help. For several days, Lotus guarded Menghua night and night, never abandoning, lest Menghua not wake up.
Think about the shoes and hats business in City C, and the good business was compensated by a car accident......
Thinking about it day and night, the tormented wife was disheartened, exhausted, and lost her faith in life, and the mental pressure made Lotus fall into a state of illness.
Often awakened by nightmares. Gritting his teeth and convulsing non-stop.
One night, my sleeping wife suddenly shouted to fight ghosts, fight ghosts...
After I woke up from my dream, I comforted her in every way to calm down.
This was the case for several days, and he had to go to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor diagnosed him with schizophrenia. After falling ill, he sought suicide many times, but it was the concern and call of his children and family that he escaped death.
Lotus is an open-minded and virtuous woman, no matter how big changes happen in the family, she never complains. It was the weight of life that made her so miserable.
