Chapter 16 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight
At night, Dongmei no longer dared to hold the baby in circles on the kang, she was worried that if the kang collapsed again, she would really have to go back to her parents' house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So, she held the baby in her arms and walked in a larger circle on the floor in her clothes.
At this time, the little uncle knocked on the door and came in, he came to see his little nephew, and by the way, he also bought a bottle of prickly heat powder for the little nephew, and asked the sister-in-law to wipe it on the little nephew's body.
While thanking the younger brother-in-law, the sister-in-law asked him: "Where did you get these posters, they are so beautiful." ”
The little uncle tried to hold the baby and replied: "I am the president of our class, plus the study committee, and I often give a lecture to a classmate, and he gave these movie posters in order to thank me and know that I like Zhang Yu." ”
Dongmei likes entertainment gossip, but there were no entertainment reports or other programs at that time, so the news was very easy to come by, and finally there was a "like-minded" person, so she continued to ask her brother-in-law: "Do you also like Zhang Yu?"
After the little uncle held the baby in his arms, he said happily: "Yes, but Zhang Yu doesn't like a man like me, he likes Shen Jiawei, I heard that she has written love letters to Shen Jiawei." ”
Dongmei asked the little uncle curiously: "Who is Shen Jiawei, who has such a great charm, and can win Zhang Yu's love." ”
The little uncle "giggled" and said: "You don't know this, Shen Jiawei is a heartthrob in the men's volleyball team, and there is no woman who doesn't like it." ”
Dongmei continued to ask: "Then do you say that Shen Jiawei is as good-looking as Tang Guoqiang?"
The little uncle pondered for a long time and said, "There is no comparison between the two. I like Zhang Yu, and when I look for a daughter-in-law in the future, I must find a woman like Zhang Yu as a wife. ”
When Dongmei heard this, she almost laughed, she looked at the young man in front of her who was yellow and thin, not handsome, and only 1.63 meters tall, it was hard to imagine that he could find such a good-looking daughter-in-law as his wife. (But what Dongmei didn't expect was that more than ten years later, the little uncle had a successful career and really married a daughter-in-law as beautiful as Zhang Yu.) )
The brother-in-law had autumn vacation and stayed at home for fifteen days.
The brother-in-law lives in the sister-in-law's room next door to Dongmei. Every night, when Dongmei was holding the baby in the room and going around in circles, the sound of the uncle reciting English grammar and words came from next door, and it couldn't move, and it would last until two or three o'clock every night.
Dongmei thought to herself that this child was really powerful, and she knew that only by reading could she change her fate, and she would definitely be a very good commodity in the future.
Wei Guo is a very filial and obedient son, he mailed home a penny of the money he earned every month, and handed it over to his mother, but he didn't give Dongmei a penny.
Dongmei was a peasant woman, and in that era when there was no income, Dongmei had to reach out and ask for every penny she spent from her mother-in-law.
Whenever there is a merchant in the village to sell foreign sugar, Dongmei will take the baby out to see, as a mother, an ordinary woman, I want to eat a piece of foreign candy, but there is no penny in my pocket.
The merchant's candy sold quickly, and the rural women in a circle around it, you bought one piece, and she bought two pieces to eat.
There were still a few pieces of candy left, and the merchant saw Dongmei holding the baby and standing next to him for a long time, so he politely asked her: "Baby,, buy a piece of candy to eat." After eating our foreign sugar, there is a lot of milk, and it is sweet, and the baby grows tall and strong. ”
Dongmei watched others eat candy, and the saliva in her mouth was about to flow out, but she knew that she had no money, and she was embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law, because she knew that her mother-in-law was a very good and thrifty person, so she forced a smile and said to the merchant: "I don't like to eat candy, my teeth are not good, and I have a toothache." ”
After speaking, she saw that the merchant was still looking at her with expectant eyes, so she continued to play the round and said to the little baby biting her fingers in her arms: "Mom knows that the baby loves to eat sugar, but the baby is still young, has not grown teeth, can't eat, when you grow up, mom will buy you a lot of candy for the baby to eat, okay?"
After saying that, she kissed the baby in her arms, and then turned away from the candy seller.
As the baby grows up, Dongmei's milk is getting less and less, and she can't meet the baby's amount of food, so she let the baby add some milk to feed, and the baby didn't have any adverse reactions at first, but tonight, the baby was uncomfortable, he had a thin stool, and frequent bowel movements, and he pulled eight times in a row in less than half a night, and was accompanied by some low-grade fever.
Not only that, Dongmei found that in the past, as long as he held the baby in a circle on the floor, he would not cry, but today even if he held him in a circle, gently shook him, and sang to him, the baby cried non-stop, and Dongmei knew that the baby must be uncomfortable.
As a young mother, Dongmei has no experience, she doesn't know what disease the baby has, and she is at a loss to spin in place.
What she didn't know was that it was a common gastrointestinal disorder in newborns, also known as neonatal dyspepsia.
However, Dongmei was frightened, she picked up her little baby, wrapped him tightly, and then put on a patriotic military coat and went out.
She looked at the only watch in the house, which was also the wedding gift that Wei Guo bought for her, it was already half past ten in the evening, and he knew that the only clinic in the village was no longer empty, and he had to go to the doctor's house in the east of the village to see the baby.
But halfway through the journey, Dongmei found that she had forgotten a serious problem and had no money to treat the baby.
So, she anxiously turned back again, knocked on the window of her mother-in-law's house and said, "Mom, Mom, you open the door, the baby has diarrhea, you give some money, and I will take him to the health center to see a doctor." ”
Inside the house, although Wei Guo's mother was asleep, but after hearing her daughter-in-law's voice, she immediately woke up, and when he heard the words that his baby grandson was sick, his stomach was full of anger, thinking that you are a mother, what is the matter, bringing the child to be sick, is it that you can't take good care of the child for a day.
So, while getting dressed, she asked, "What's wrong with the doll, what's uncomfortable?" ”
Dongmei put her face against the window and said, "Diarrhea." ”
Mother-in-law heard that her grandson had diarrhea, the fire came up all of a sudden, before the winter plum milk was not enough, she gave her grandson goat milk to drink, but the daughter-in-law said that the goat's milk was too hot, and the baby would drink nosebleeds, so she had to give the doll milk, and said that the people in the city gave the doll milk.
The mother-in-law retorted that several of his children were raised with goat's milk, and he didn't see anyone worse than him, but Dongmei insisted on not backing down, and the mother-in-law had no choice but to obey her daughter-in-law. ”
Dongmei couldn't figure it out, at this time, her mother-in-law was still arguing with herself about some trivial things, so she said unceremoniously: "Give me money, I'll go to see a doctor for the doll." ”
When the mother-in-law heard that it was diarrhea, she put down her heart, because it was too common for babies to have diarrhea, and in the past, it was not called a disease, just eat some batter, but when she thought that her grandson was worth a lot, what could she do if she didn't see a doctor, so she took out the money from the pocket pressed on the quilt.
At this time, Dongmei, who was waiting outside, added anxiously: "Mom, can you hurry up?" ”
Maybe it was Dongmei's words, the tone of the words was a little heavier, and the mother-in-law suddenly became angry, thinking that you are a daughter-in-law, you don't respect me for three points, and you dare to talk to me like this, but it can't be done, so she sat on the kang again.
He deliberately delayed the time and said, "Talking to the elders, do you have such a tone? You remember to me, how to marry you into the door, how to send you out." ”
Dongmei, who was not angry, heard that her mother-in-law threatened herself with such a tone, her originally gentle personality suddenly hardened, she gasped twice, and argued: "Okay, I'll go home, and after my baby is well treated, I'll take my baby back to my parents' house tomorrow." ”
When the mother-in-law heard that Dongmei was coming, she really wanted to leave, so she changed the conversation and said: "It's okay to leave, leave the baby bump for me, you go alone, and don't come back." ”
The mother-in-law's words poked Dongmei's sore spot, Dongmei thought that she could lose everything, including her own life, but she couldn't lose her child, tears flowed down her cheeks, and said: "Okay, I'll go, I'll leave now!" I don't need your Cui family to keep me, I can see through you, for a glass of goat milk and milk, you want to drive me away, such a small thing can't accommodate me, let alone a big thing in the future." ”
After Dongmei finished speaking, she was ready to take the baby back to her parents' house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled through a window for a long time, Wei Guo's father is usually a very trouble-free and taciturn person, and today he couldn't listen to it, so he interrupted Wei Guo's mother and said: "Don't say it, the doll's illness is important, give Dongmei some money and give the doll a doctor." ”
As soon as Dongmei walked to the front door, she heard her mother-in-law shouting from inside the house, saying, "Take care of my baby's illness first, and leave tomorrow, no one will stop you." ”
Dongmei stopped, turned her head and thought that the quarrel was between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it had nothing to do with the doll, so she walked to her mother-in-law's window to withdraw money.
And the mother-in-law, who has always been accustomed to saving, is responsible for her own illness, and she is reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, and she doesn't know how much it costs to see a doctor, so she only gave five cents and asked her to see a doctor for her child.
Dongmei took the only five cents, sighed sadly in her heart, and then walked to the doctor's house with the baby in her arms.
In the house, Wei Guo's father scolded Wei Guo's mother for a few words, thinking that she couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities, couldn't understand the severity, didn't take the child's illness seriously, and even quarreled about milk and goat's milk.
Wei Guo's mother said aggrievedly, in the end, goat milk is good, and the goat milk that our doll drank when she was young never had a stomach.
Wei Guo's father said that although goat's milk is good, it has a strong fishy smell, and young people may not be able to stand the fishy smell, and it is good to drink milk, so don't talk about it in the future.
In reality, what Dongmei didn't expect is that the nutritional value of goat milk is indeed much higher than that of cow's milk, goat milk contains more than 200 kinds of nutrients and bioactive factors, and the content of protein, minerals and various vitamins is much higher than that of cow's milk.
Here, Dongmei walks on an empty, pitch-black country road.
Although my heart is full of gas, it is still chilling for a woman to hold a child and walk alone on the road in the dead of night.
Dongmei looked around nervously as she walked, she was worried that there were bad people hiding around and hurting their mother and son.
Especially some time ago, I heard that in the north of the village, a little boy from a family was snatched away by two masked gangsters, and Dongmei's heart lingered and lingered.
At this time, he looked at the baby he was holding in his arms and found that the baby had entered the dream and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
This warmth is the only little comfort that brings her in this terrifying atmosphere.
Dongmei raised her head with a smile, but what he didn't expect was that he inadvertently saw not far away, on a black and sloppy tree, there was a man with a black face and black clothes, staring at her intently, Dongmei's frightened hairs stood up, and she thought to herself, could it be that this masked man came to snatch his little baby again?
