Chapter 5: Returning Home
Three days passed in a flash, and Shen Su was about to end his days in the hospital.
Early in the morning, the sun was just right, and Shen Aihua specially asked for leave to pick up the two children from the hospital.
Pushing the old wheelchair that he bought from a patient for five yuan, Shen Su, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was holding a large bag of things, and Su Qi, who was walking next to him, was discharged from the hospital with a hanging arm.
The hospital is not far from the military compound where they live, and it takes more than 40 minutes to walk, and Shen Aihua rides a bicycle or takes a bus to work on weekdays. Now it is inconvenient for Shen Su to get on the bus in a wheelchair, and the distance is not far anyway, so he simply walks back.
Fortunately, the weather in September was neither hot nor cold, and the 40-minute journey was within the acceptable range.
The low-rise bungalows, wide streets, and several four- and five-storey buildings stand out.
The streets next to the road are a little old, full of red banners, workers leading everything and so on.
There aren't many pedestrians on the streets, people go to work and schools are already in class. There are several old-fashioned buses driving on the street, and there are people waiting for them next to the stop signs. Pedestrians pass by in twos and threes, with the occasional bicycle passing by, mostly on foot.
Most of the older ones wear plain Lenin suits and short ear-length hair, which should be more elaborate, and it is rare to see patches on clothes; Most of the unmarried were tied with two large braids, and they were dressed in neat and neat coarse cloth single pants with some variegated patches; or a long old-fashioned dress with a hairpin on her head and her long hair scattered; Occasionally, a few women with curly hair walked by, wearing small dresses and small leather shoes, which were particularly eye-catching.
After all, it is a provincial city, and life is still passable.
Most of the men wear tunics, shirts and trousers, but there are also many who wear coarse cloth clothes. Most of them walked by in a hurry, and few stopped to talk.
In this era, it is rare to see the most common fat people with fat brains on the street in the previous life, most of them are some yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they look a little malnourished, and among them, people wearing coarse cloth clothes are the mainstream.
Shen Su and Su Qi looked at everything around them intently, and suddenly heard Shen Aihua say, "What do you two look at, you two have never been so enthusiastic about the scenery on the street when you ran out every day in the past." ”
The two smiled dryly at the same time, and involuntarily glanced at each other.
The family building is sub-regional, and the outermost few small units are one-bedroom.
Further inside are several medium-sized units, above the sub-camp level, with two bedrooms.
Further inside is the residence above the deputy regimental level, a large three-bedroom unit, where the original owner's home used to be.
Continuing inside, there is a small garden in the middle, which is the junction of the unit and the single-family building, and Shen Aihua's family lives not far from the front, where the deputy division level and above live.
At the entrance was a small courtyard fenced off, followed by a small two-story western-style building.
Push open the door, the room is very open, with good lighting, a large living room on the left, and a dining room on the right.
On the first floor, in addition to the kitchen and bathroom, there is also a bedroom on the left and right sides, and my grandfather Su and Shen Aihua live on the first floor. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, the bathroom is in the middle, the two rooms on the left are where the two brothers Su Chao and Su Hui live, and the two rooms on the right are where Su Qi and Shen Su sisters live.
Pushing open his door, he surveyed the bedroom environment, half a person's height chocolate-colored wall skirt under the white walls, the same color wood floor, and the beige curtains.
Under the large glass window in the middle, there is a chocolate-colored desk, scattered with a few books and a small white lamp, and on the right side of the desk is a vertical bookcase of the same color against the wall, in which a small radio is placed.
To the left of the window is a black wrought-iron bed with a light purple futon that stands out, and a small dresser and wardrobe of the same color against the wall opposite the bed. Next to the bookcase on the right are two sand-colored single sofas with a small coffee table separated by a white vase on a beige floral coffee table cloth.
Although it is really "nostalgic" in terms of current aesthetics, I am afraid of comparing goods, compared with the big earthen kang, big black walls, and brick floors in the countryside during this period seen on TV, or compared with the old painted wooden window frames in the hospital, it is simply foreign.
Paddled to the desk in a wheelchair and pushed open the big window, there were clusters of lush green outside, and the air was good.
On the table, a first-grade textbook and a few villain books scattered aside.
Then he came to the dresser opposite the bed, slowly opened the small drawer on the left, took out a small wooden box, and opened it to reveal a stack of colorful banknotes, most of which were five.
If Shen Su is not mistaken, it should be four hundred and thirty-seven yuan, two cents and five cents.
The original owner has had five yuan of pocket money every month since he was three years old, as well as five yuan per month from his grandfather, which is ten yuan a month. I am 8 years old this year, and I have given it for more than five years, which is enough to have more than 600 yuan. That's all there is left, I have to say that Xiaodouding can spend money.
A knock on the door interrupted Shen Su. "Come in."
Shen Aihua walked over with a cup of washed milk powder and handed it to Shen Su, "Auntie has gone to work, the food is ready and hot in the pot, if you are hungry, let Qiqi bring it to you." After that, he instructed uneasily, "Don't fight anymore, if you hit a wound, you can't beat her now." ”
The corners of Shen Su's mouth twitched, look, what a loving aunt.
I took it and put it on the table. "Don't worry, auntie, I won't fight with Kiki in the future." nodded, very well-behaved.
"Really?" Shen Aihua's face was full of words that I didn't believe.
"True aunt, I swear, you have to believe me." Shen Su's face was full of sincerity.
"Okay then, if you say it, my aunt will believe it." Shen Aihua actually didn't believe it, she had heard similar things say it dozens of times. But since the niece said it, she always has to cheer for it.
Shen Su saw Shen Aihua's expression and knew that she didn't believe it, and she was helpless, the original owner was so convicted.
"I'll watch you drink before you go." picked up the milk powder and handed it to Shen Su, "If you don't like to drink it, you have to drink it, I've been sick for so long, I have to make up for it." ”
Shen Su's face suddenly wrinkled into bitter gourd, not only did the original owner not like to drink this thing, but she also didn't like to drink it.
But seeing my aunt staring at her, she picked up the cup and poured it down.
"Su Su is so good, if you are sleepy after dinner, let Qiqi help you to the bed and lie down." Reach out and touch your niece's little head.
"Okay aunt, don't worry, I'll look for Kiki if there's something." Shen Su nodded fiercely, tossing her to death.
Seeing her niece's cute expression, Shen Aihua couldn't help laughing, rubbed her head, took the cup and turned around and walked out.
