Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Deadly High Fever
Early the next morning, Dongmei woke up early, and last night she had a headache from her injury. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After washing her face and cleaning up, she found a clean white towel, pricked the wound on her head, and then buckled a slightly larger hat on her head.
Dongmei dressed the two children, put Taotao to her mother-in-law, and walked in the direction of the township hospital with Nana, who had a bulging belly.
She had in her pocket the seven yuan she asked her mother-in-law for, thinking that the money her mother-in-law gave this time was really a lot, and it should be enough money for Nana to show her stomach and dress her wounds.
After arriving at the township hospital, he entered the pediatric specialist, and the doctor did not prescribe medicine after diagnosis, but asked Dongmei to hold Nana to do various examinations and various instruments.
After paying the fees for various examinations, in the end, there was still a dime short of the cost of medicine.
Dongmei stood at the medicine window, bowed her head and begged for a long time, saying that it was not easy for her to come all the way to the township, and the whole body was covered with this amount of money.
The nurse standing at the medicine window saw that Dongmei's head and face were swollen, and it was not easy for them to be orphans and widows, so she made an exception to take medicine.
Out of the hospital, Dongmei felt a faint pain in the wound on her head, but the money to buy medicine for Nana was not enough, let alone see a doctor for herself, so Dongmei gritted her teeth and thought to herself, adult, strong resistance, wound healing fast, and carried it for a few days, so she gave up the treatment of herself and walked back home along the road with Nana.
Dongmei has not been out of the house for two days, because the wound is not well treated, and some inflammation, the whole person is lying on the kang with a high fever, very weak and weak.
Every time it was time to eat, Tao Tao would run to the stove room, scoop a bowl of rice for his mother, and bring it to her kang head.
But Dongmei had no appetite at all due to fever, she lay on the kang in a daze, her whole head was very swollen, her face was also a little swollen, the original clear outline became a little blurred, and her big eyes became slit.
Tao Tao only knew to bring food to her mother, but she didn't know to feed her mother, she saw that her mother had not eaten for a day, so she ran to the back room in the front yard, looked at Wei Guo's mother who was feeding Nana and said: "Grandma, grandma, my mother hasn't eaten for a day, is it sick, you come with me to see my mother." ”
Wei Guo's mother dug a big spoonful of corn paste in the bowl with a spoon, and after feeding it to Nana, she said to Taotao: "Your mother pretended to be it, just bring her the rice, whether you like to eat it or not." ”
Taotao ran to Wei Guo's father again and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, go and see my mother, she can't open her eyes." ”
After Tao Tao finished speaking, he took his grandfather's hand and walked down the kang.
Wei Guo's father stroked the long black beard on his chin and said: "Your mother is angry, the day before yesterday quarreled, your grandmother gave a word, and she was angry, just make it for one day, and make it two days, no matter." ”
Tao Tao saw that his grandparents didn't care about his mother, so he ran back to Dongmei's house, looked at his mother who was sleeping on the kang, still didn't eat a mouthful of food, he climbed on the kang, put his mouth next to Dongmei's ear and said: "Mom, you get up to eat, why are you still sleeping lazy, it's noon, Mom, Mom, get up quickly." ”
Tao Tao looked anxiously at his unconscious mother.
Dongmei turned over, opened her eyes slightly, looked at Taotao, and said very weakly: "Mom doesn't want to eat, Mom sleeps." ”
After saying that, Dongmei continued to sleep.
Tao Tao looked at his sleeping mother and didn't get up, and suddenly worried that his mother would die, but his grandmother and grandfather didn't care about his mother, and his father was in distant Xinjiang, so he sat next to Dongmei's head and cried sadly.
After crying for a while, Taotao suddenly remembered his grandmother, although no one took care of his mother here, but there was still a grandmother in Yinjia Village.
So, he jumped off the kang, took off the sandals he wore on his feet, and put on cloth shoes, he knew that Yinjia Village was far away, and he would have to run for a long time to get there.
Although there is only one kilometer from Cuijia Village to Yinjia Village, it is already a long way for a five-year-old child.
Taotao, who was wearing cloth shoes, ran to the back room and said to Wei Guo's mother: "Grandma, I'll go out to play for a while." ”
Wei Guo's mother finished feeding Nana and was eating by herself, when she replied to Taotao: "Go out to play, don't run far." ”
Tao Tao ran out of the head door, and said in his mouth: "Ao, I know." ”
Tao Tao vaguely remembered that his mother took him to his grandmother's house, and after going out from the east end of the village, he turned a corner and followed a canal, and walked all the way forward, and when the canal was finished, a village would appear, and his grandmother's house was in the second house at the west end of the village.
Wei Guo was in the middle of the village, at the west end, and Tao Tao kept running in the direction of the east when he went out.
But when he was about to reach the east, he was suddenly a little scared, because the children in the village were divided into two factions, the west and the east, the west and the west, and the east and the east, and if the children from the east came to the west, they would be beaten by the children in the west.
As Tao Tao ran, he heard his heart pounding.
As he ran, he looked around, afraid of meeting the children in the east.
Seeing that he was about to leave the east end of the village, Tao Tao was happy in his heart, as long as he walked on the path by the canal, he would be safe.
However, just as he turned and walked out of the east end of the village, suddenly a few children who were rolling hoops appeared in front of him, several of them were basically the same age as Taotao, and they were all shorter than Taotao, Taotao was not afraid of them, and continued to run forward.
At this time, I saw one of the children shouting: "Look, the West Head Doll is coming." ”
Immediately, several children put down the iron rings in their hands and ran towards Taotao with a smile.
Tao Tao saw that they were chasing after him, and he ran faster, but after all, the people who escaped couldn't outrun the people who were chasing, and after a while, Tao Tao was caught up by four or five children.
The children in the east are generally more worn and dirty than the children in the west, because the people in the east are not as rich as the people in the west.
The children in the east pushed Tao Tao with a smile and said, "The doll in the west dares to run to the east to play." ”
After speaking, a few children pushed with their hands, he kicked with his feet, this one grabbed a chubby little fist and poked it, and that one turned around and pouted his ass and hit Taotao.
One of the dolls who knew Tao Tao said: "His name is Tao Tao, and he doesn't have a father." ”
Hearing that Taotao didn't have a father, everyone burst out laughing.
Tao Tao said in his heart that my father made a lot of money in Xinjiang, so you don't have a father, but when he saw that he was outnumbered, he didn't dare to speak, so he was ready to run away again.
But he was pushed by one of the children, Tao Tao sat on the ground, thinking that his mother was still sick in bed, but he couldn't find his grandmother, so he cried sadly and said: "I'm going to find my grandmother, my mother is still asleep on the kang." ”
As he spoke, he put his hands on his eyes to wipe his tears.
The children around scattered in a hurry, not because they heard what Tao Tao said, but because they saw Tao Tao crying.
There is an unwritten rule among the children, as long as the bullied child cries, then he knows that he is in trouble, and everyone scatters and flees.
Tao Tao sat on the ground and cried for a while, then stood up, patted the soil on his body, and continued to run towards his grandmother's house.
Taotao ran along the canal until he reached Yinjia Village, he stood at the entrance of the village, fixed, looked at the two families in the west, and suddenly forgot which one was his grandmother's house.
So, he was bold and walked into the first house first, and when he went in, he saw that the yard looked different from his grandmother's house, so he withdrew and walked into the second house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandmother sifting beans with a dustpan.
He called "Grandma" and rushed over.
Dongmei's mother put down the dustpan, stood up and saw that it was Taotao, surprised and delighted, surprised that Taotao ran over alone, and happy that a five-year-old child actually remembered the road of his grandmother's house.
Dongmei's mother hugged Taotao, who rushed over, and asked him, "Why did you come here alone, where is your mother?"
Tao Tao broke free from his grandmother's embrace, he was so thirsty, he rushed to the stove room of his grandmother's house, scooped a scoop of cold water from the water urn, drank enough, coughed a few times, ran out and said: "Grandma, my mother didn't come, he was sick, lying on the kang at home, and he couldn't wake up when he fell asleep." ”
After saying that, he took his grandmother's hand and walked out.
Grandma wore an apron and reading glasses on her eyes, looked at Taotao strangely and said, "Mom is asleep, then let Mom fall asleep, when the time comes, she will naturally wake up." ”
Tao Tao saw that his grandmother didn't follow him, and said anxiously: "Mom has been asleep for two days, and she can't eat or wake up." ”
Wei Guo's mother heard that she hadn't slept for two days and couldn't get up, thinking that something must have happened, according to her understanding of her daughter, she was a diligent person and couldn't be idle at home. So he took off the apron tied around his waist and followed Taotao.
Wei Guo's mother, who had just finished cleaning the chicken coop, saw her mother-in-law leading Taotao in, and asked Dongmei's mother in surprise: "Mother-in-law, why are you here, did you just come back from the township and pass by here." ”
As soon as Dongmei's mother entered the front door, she walked towards Dongmei's house in the backyard, and she replied to Wei Guo's mother: "No, I'm here to see my woman, what about my woman?"
Wei Guo's mother pointed to the house behind her and said, "You woman is angry, you are asleep in the house." ”
As soon as Dongmei's mother entered the door, she saw that her daughter who slept on the kang had swollen eyes and became a panda, and the whole person seemed to be fat.
She walked over anxiously, touched her daughter's forehead, and found that her forehead was very hot, the whole person was red, and she was covered with a thick quilt in the summer, obviously the high fever was serious.
So, she woke up her unconscious daughter with a slap.
Dongmei saw that her mother suddenly appeared in front of her, like a dream, so she hugged her mother and cried first.
After letting Dongmei finish crying, her mother hurriedly helped her staggered to the health center in Cuijia Village.
After the doctor measured Dongmei's body temperature, he found that the body temperature was nearly 40 degrees, and when he learned that Dongmei had been burning like this for a long time, the doctor angrily warned that if he continued to burn like this, he would have to burn people stupidly, and the doctor immediately hung a hanging bottle for Dongmei to reduce fever.
Dongmei, who has just recovered from a serious illness, stays at her mother's house for a week and is still reluctant to go back to her mother-in-law's house.
Dongmei's mother came back from working in the field, looked at Dongmei who was busy in the stove room, and said to her: "Doll, how many days have you been in your mother's house, do you know?"
After Dongmei boiled the water in the back pot, she poured corn and hazelnuts into it and said, "Of course I know, I just won't go back, I have to let Wei Guo's mother and Wei Guo's father come and invite me, and I will go back." ”
Dongmei's mother walked around the stove room, found a wooden pier and sat down, and said, "My good baby, just staying in our house is not a long-term solution." ”
After Dongmei put the corn and hazelnuts down, she put the lid on the back pot, then opened the lid on the front pot, put some dried steamed buns on the cage inside, and prepared to warm it with steam, and continued to eat it after it was soft, he looked at his mother and said, "Mother, you know how much I have suffered in his house." ”
Dongmei's mother stood up, walked closer to Dongmei, leaned on the board and said, "Of course I know, I'm also from my daughter-in-law, why don't you know." The previous family law is much larger than the current family law. When I was a girl at home, my father was a landlord, and when I was old, I still sat on the swing and played on the swing, and I never worked, but after marrying your father, I became a daughter-in-law, doing laundry and cooking, serving my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and I never did any work. You have to know that it will get better slowly, and you will also be old and become a mother-in-law, and you will know when the time comes. ”
Dongmei squatted down, filled the fire pit under the pot, filled some firewood, and said, "Other people's mothers speak for her daughters, why do you speak for your mother-in-law." ”
Although Dongmei knows that her mother is a very kind and good person, in the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she is not at all towards herself, which she really didn't expect.
After Dongmei's mother brought in some firewood from the outside to the stove room, she said to Dongmei: "There are rules for being a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law should be kind to her mother-in-law, after all, the mother-in-law is old, and the young and old people should not be generally knowledgeable." ”
After speaking, Dongmei's mother saw that Dongmei didn't speak, and continued to preach: "I am also a mother-in-law, your sister-in-law and I get along with each other, I know it is difficult, so they want to live with me separately, so I firmly agreed." In two days, you better go back, if you wait until the old man comes to invite you, it will be meaningless. Besides, your two babies are still waiting for you at home. ”
The corn and hazelnuts in the back pot were cooked, and Dongmei stirred them in the pot with an iron spoon while saying, "What if I go back and be naughty with my mother-in-law again?"
Dongmei's mother suggested: "It's really not good, let's live separately." ”
Dongmei and her parents sat on the table on the kang and ate food, she thought to herself, even for the sake of her lovely son and daughter, this time she listened to her mother's words.
