Dongmei calculated the time, and it took at least 20 days for a letter to be mailed from her hometown Guanzhong to the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That means that when my sister wrote this letter again, she was already lying in bed.

Now more than 20 days have passed, and if I haven't been sent to the hospital, I really don't know if the person is dead or alive.

Dongmei couldn't help but shed tears.

She thinks about herself, whether it is when she gives birth to Taotao or when she gives birth to Nana, she gives birth to a child in a professional hospital and under the supervision of a professional nurse.

And his sister, because she has no money, can only give birth at home, and she doesn't even have a biological mother-in-law.

It is conceivable how much my sister has suffered and how much danger she has undertaken.

As the saying goes, life is scared to death, and giving birth to a baby in a hospital is absolutely different from giving birth at home.

If you have a difficult birth or heavy bleeding, if you are in the hospital, you will definitely be saved.

However, this is not necessarily the case in rural homes.

Thinking of this, Dongmei really hated herself, and she didn't forcibly break up this marriage at the beginning.

Now it's okay, it's his sister Chunmei who suffers.

What a beautiful, sunny, optimistic girl her sister Chunmei used to be.

But now, in a letter, she told her sister that she couldn't live and wanted to commit suicide.

Dongmei was anxious, she really wanted to know about her sister's situation now.

However, in the era when there is no phone and no mobile phone, even if she dies in a hurry, Dongmei has no way to know Chunmei's situation.

Instead of writing a letter, sending a telegram is the fastest way to do it.

So, Dongmei rushed to the county post office and sent a telegram to her younger brother, asking him to go to Chunmei's house in Yan Village no matter what, and his life was at stake.

After sending the telegram, Dongmei sat at home, like sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't calm down at all.

She thought of when she was a child, because the family had no food to eat, her mother had no milk, and after the birth of the fourth child Chunmei, her mother knew that she could not support Chunmei, so she threw her into a basket made of rattan next to the kang head.

The mother said to Dongmei, who was only eight years old, that her sister would definitely not be able to support her when she was born, so you should carry the basket and throw her sister into the dead baby ditch at the back of the village.

Dongmei looked at her weak mother lying on the bed, and then looked at her sister Chunmei who was waiting to be fed in the basket, and couldn't bear to throw her away.

So, Dongmei pretended to go out to throw Chunmei, took the basket around, and ran back.

In the end, at Dongmei's begging, the yellow-faced and thin-skinned, weak mother left Chunmei, who was treated as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who could feed it, and threw it away if she couldn't feed it.

At that time, the whole village depended on the sky for food.

If it doesn't rain, the earth will be green.

The whole family eats one meal a day, and it is corn paste.

Chunmei is fed by that, a little poor corn paste.

Dongmei sobbed, thinking, such difficult days have passed, but now such a good day, Chunmei can't survive?

In any case, I must help Chunmei, and I must not sit idly by.

So, Dongmei, whose buttocks were not yet hot, wrapped the 4,500 quick money that the whole family had accumulated, wrapped it in layers of cloth, stuffed it into her underwear, and went to the bank.

She sent all the family's savings back to Chunmei.

At this critical moment, Dongmei told herself that no matter how important money is, no one lives matter.

If they are in the Yan family and don't have the money to treat their sister, they will come to treat their sister themselves.

After the money was mailed out, Dongmei still returned home uneasy.

At night, she tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

She reminisced about the moments she had with her sister.

It can be said that when Chunmei was a child, she was basically brought up by her sister Dongmei, who was eight years older than her.

In the era of Dongmei's parents, everyone ate a big pot of rice, unified labor, unified arrangement, if anyone does not work, there is no centimeter, no centimeter means no food, so Dongmei's parents work all year round, and there is no time to take care of their children.

So, he handed over the baby to Dongmei to take care of.

Dongmei, an eight or nine-year-old child, takes care of Chunmei decently.

At that time, there was no milk powder, and when Chunmei was hungry, Dongmei would give her corn paste and water for Chunmei when she was thirsty......

When Dongmei went out to play, she carried Chunmei on her back, in short, the two sisters were inseparable.

If Chunmei cried, Dongmei put Chunmei off her back and shook her in her arms until she stopped crying.

In this way, Chunmei survived tenaciously and grew into a very beautiful girl with a height of more than 1.68 meters.

Dongmei is reluctant to Chunmei, no matter what, she can't accept her sister to leave her.

Dongmei felt that she had to go back to her hometown, and only by going back could she save the dying Chunmei.

The next day, Chunmei led Taotao and Nana to Hongxia's house, told her about her difficulties, and hoped that Hongxia could take care of the child for herself for a few days, and come back after she went back to her hometown to deal with things.

Hongxia usually puts the child in Dongmei's house, so she always feels that she owes Dongmei a favor, and she has always wanted to pay it back, but she can't find a chance.

This time, she finally waited for the opportunity, she said happily: "Dongmei, you can rest assured to go back to your hometown to deal with things, the child will be handed over to me, and when you come back, I will definitely raise the child for you." “

Hearing this, Dongmei looked at Hongxia with confidence and said, "Then it's troublesome for you, I'll come up right away after I go back and deal with things." “

Hongxia stroked Taotao and Nana's heads and said, "Your two children, their personalities are with you and your husband, and they are very well-behaved." “

Dongmei said, "It's okay. “

After speaking, Dongmei said goodbye to Hongxia and said, "Then I'll go, bye-bye." “

Before Dongmei's goodbye was finished, suddenly there was a knock on the door of Hongxia's house.

Hearing the door knock, Hongxia immediately said with a smile on her face: "If my guess is correct, it must be my card buddy who is here." “

After speaking, Hongxia opened the door.

I saw that the mother of the big head Lei Lei was standing at the door, smoking a cigarette, looking at Hongxia and saying, "Why haven't you come to play mahjong for two days, we all miss you." “

Hongxia invited the big head Lei Lei's mother in and said, "No, I'm going to go now." “

Datou Leilei's mother and Dongmei are not very familiar, so the two just said hello briefly.

She said to Hongxia: "Since you are going to go, what are you waiting for, let's go now, the other two friends have already arrived."

Hearing this, Hongxia hurriedly changed her clothes and said, "Okay, okay, let's go now." “

Dongmei, who was standing next to her, looked at Hongxia who was changing her clothes and preparing to go out, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she said in her heart, why did she go to play mahjong again?

Hongxia, who had changed her clothes, seemed to see Dongmei's concerns, so she patted her chest and assured Dongmei: "Dongmei, if you hand over the child to me, you can go back with confidence." When I finished playing mahjong, I came back to cook for my children. “

Dongmei squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Oh...... Good ......"

Dongmei knows that as long as Hongxia goes to play mahjong, it is never less than twelve hours.

She must not have returned until midnight when she left, and the child was still at home waiting for dinner, wouldn't she be hungry?

couldn't help but feel that it was a mistake to hand over the two children to Hongxia to take care of.

But how can we not repent of sinning?

So, Dongmei had an idea and said: "Hongxia, you go play mahjong, Taotao, this child is not well-behaved at all, and he is not sensible, put it in your house, I am afraid that it will affect the learning of your two daughters, so I just ......"

Hongxia, who had already walked to the door, was stunned, looked at Dongmei and said, "Taotao is usually very well-behaved, I haven't seen him mischievous." “

Dongmei said with an embarrassed expression: "You don't know, Taotao, this child, is very active, and sometimes beats female classmates, so it is not safe to put it in your house, Wang Xue'e's two sons are at home, I just put Taotao and Dongmei in Wang Xue'e's house, they are both boys, and they are not afraid of fighting." “

Hearing this, Hongxia looked at Taotao with a blank expression, and then said, "I don't see it, Taotao, you still have this problem?"

The second monk Tao Tao was puzzled, and said in his heart that he seemed to have never beaten a female classmate, how could he become a bad boy in his mother's mouth.

Dongmei took advantage of the situation, hurriedly took Taotao's hand, and by the way, she also called Nana, and walked out and said: "Then I will go to Wang Xue'e's house, I won't trouble you, thank you by the way." “

Hongxia watched Dongmei take Nana away, and hurriedly said, "Taotao went to play with Wang Xue'e's two boys, and Nana stayed to play with my two daughters, so it's okay." “

Where did Dongmei dare to leave Nana behind, she knew that Nana would cry hungry as long as she didn't eat a meal, let alone not eat for a day.

So, she casually found a reason and said: "Nana, this child, has been a tomboy since she was a child, she doesn't like to play with girls, especially with boys, so she just followed her brother to play with Wang Peng and Wang Tao." “

Nana has had a boy's head since she was a child, and she looks a little like a boy, so Hongxia believed Dongmei's words, she said: "Hey, really, I originally wanted to repay your personal favor and take care of the child for you, but it seems that I can't pay it back this time." “

Dongmei led the two children out of the house, and said: "There is still time and opportunity in the future." “

After speaking, Dongmei went out.

After going out, at the moment when Hongxia closed the door, she suddenly thought of Hongxia's two daughters, Li Mao and Li Jing.

She said: "Anyway, you won't come back for a day playing mahjong, so I'll take your two children to Wang Xue'e's house."

Hearing this, Lei Lei's mother, the big head standing next to her, echoed casually: "Hongxia, you send Li Mao and Li Jing to Wang Xue'e's house, let's have a big game today, and beat him for two days and two nights." “

Hearing this, Hongxia thought about it and felt that it was not good to fight for a day and a night anyway, and sometimes she couldn't tell the winner from the loser, so it was better to spend two days and two nights on him.

So, Hongxia nodded and said, "Dongmei, then you can bring Li Jing and Li Mao to Wang Xue'e's house, I may be playing mahjong for a long time today." “

Hearing this, Dongmei led the four children towards Wang Xue'e's house.

Hongxia looked at Dongmei from behind and said, "Dongmei, you are really a good person, when your family Taotao grows up, I will marry my daughter Li Mao to your son." “

Hongxia's words can be regarded as saying that in Dongmei's heart, Li Mao is not only fair-skinned, but also beautiful, and even taller than her sister.

Dongmei smiled and said, "I hope that when the two children grow up, they can talk about it." “
