XXXVII. Frustration

Shandan opened her eyes and looked at her mother in front of her, tears streaming down her face, she choked up, and she didn't know how to say about her failure and uselessness.

The mother touched Shandan's face and shed tears, she knew that her daughter studied very hard, was very serious in her work, had always been competitive, and had never had to worry about anything at home. I didn't do well in the exam this time, and I heard Mao Daner say that I was also disturbed by others.

Looking at her emaciated and sick daughter in her arms, the mother's heart ached uncontrollably.

Mother silently changed Shandan's clothes and took a quilt to cover it. After settling down, he didn't care about his tiredness, so he hurriedly made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles and a poached egg for Shandan.

Shandan got up and ate the sweet noodles, and the guilt in her heart rippled layer by layer! She cried and ate at the same time, and secretly made up her mind -- no matter what, she would work hard to change the fate of the family!

Mother asked Tie Dan'er to go to the village shop and buy a canned apple for Shandan.

His mother said, "When Shandan was sick since he was a child, it would be good to eat something delicious. ”

Yes, since I was a child, I was frail and sickly, and my mother broke my heart. Although life is poor, every time Shandan is sick, his mother tries to buy good food for Shandan and Shandan will "cooperate" with his mother, and if he is a little better, he will say that he is not uncomfortable, and his mother's tightly knit brows will be relaxed.

She didn't want to burden her parents too much, they were already working hard. So since Shandan was sensible, she has taken care of all her own affairs, basically doesn't have to worry about it at home, her academic performance has been excellent, and her parents have no money anyway, so they have enough money for Shandan to go to school.

My mother once said: "I have to give Shandan out of college when I smash pots and sell iron, as long as she has the ability to be admitted to college." Tie Dan'er was delayed by the family, and Shandan couldn't delay it anymore. ”

Shandan has always known that the hope of her family is also the hope of her family, she is so hard to study, she is as convinced as her mother that she can be admitted to a key university!

Shandan ate a bowl of hot noodles and a green onion, covered himself with a quilt and sweated profusely, feeling much more relaxed throughout his body.

Mother didn't let Shandan dry his body out all at once, and he had to cool down a little so that he wouldn't feel back.

Mother also gave Shandan an an oil crucible, because a cold crucible will aggravate the symptoms of a cold, especially rapeseed oil crucible.

Some people died because of a severe cold with vegetable oil (rapeseed oil) crucible, so the pot stove connected to the big kang at home does not cook, and the rice is taken to the inner room to do, and the outhouse only boils water to make tea.

In the afternoon, the family was going out to the autumn harvest again, and the mother put food and drink on the kang for Shandan, and only went out after settling down.

Shandan slept again, felt better, she wanted to get up and prepare dinner, but every joint in her body hurt like a pinprick when she moved, and her muscles were sore, and she couldn't move at all.

Shandan drank the cold boiling water that his mother put next to him, and his mother repeatedly told him not to drink cold tea, which would aggravate his condition. Shandan didn't like to drink strong brick tea since she was a child, she just drank a little milk tea.

Shandan rested again, struggled to get up, went out first to dry the sweat on his body, and saw that the sun was about to sink in the west.

The sun is destined to sink in the west, and it is also destined to rise in the east, no matter how the world changes, the earth still rotates, and the sun rises and sets.

Shandan retrieved a basket of dried cow dung and prepared to boil water for cooking. She saw that there were mung beans and millet, so she was ready to fry millet and cook a pot of millet mung bean porridge.

After cooking the porridge, Shandan wants to prepare dinner again, and it is not possible to move the oil pot, so what to eat?

Shandan thought of making noodles and fish, steaming and waiting for his mother to come back to make a pot of noodles and fish, and then eat it.

She put two bowls of flour, cold water and good noodles, and she couldn't support it anymore. She lay down and rested for a while. Then he struggled and leaned on the quilt, took the reconciled noodles, and rubbed the fish one by one with both hands.

Put the kneaded fish on the steamer one by one, Shandan rested a few times before the fish was finished, then steamed in a hot pot, peeled the potatoes of Zhenzi, soaked the dried mutton, peeled the green onions, and put them away. Just wait for my mother to come home.

After Shandan prepared dinner, he climbed on the kang and lay down tiredly. She still wanted to read a book, and took an English book and put it next to her pillow, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Shandan fell asleep again in a daze.

It was dark before the family came home from the field.

When my mother entered the door and saw the boiled glough pot and steamed noodles and fish, she felt more distressed and relieved.

She understands that her daughter has not been knocked down by this bump, she is still the sensible, strong, and considerate daughter.

The mother touched Shandan's forehead, the fever had subsided, the forehead was cold, and a hanging heart was also relaxed. She was worried that such blows and exertion would break this daughter, who had never failed, and now she was finally relieved.

Seeing the book next to the pillow, my mother's determination was a little stronger - to send Shandan to tutor and take the exam again.
