Chapter 6 The Warmth and Coldness of the World
"Who?" Dr. Huang has passed away, and he is replaced by his eldest son, known as Dr. Huang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Dr. Huang opened the door, and the cold wind with snowflakes blew in and made him take two steps back, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing: "Yes-"
"Doctor Huang, I'm a dog, my father fell off the roof, go and take a look-" The dog's face was red from the cold, and there was only one shoe on his feet, and his face was full of snot and tears, and he was embarrassed. Dr. Huang chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly went back to the house to call the insiders to find a pair of his son's old shoes for Ah Gou to change into, and explained a few words to the house, and followed Ah Gou in a hurry with the medicine box on his back.
After the dog left, Zhao Liumao was lying on the bed, he felt that his nose was pinched, and he couldn't breathe, so he opened his mouth and gasped. Zhao Liumao heard a strange sound in his chest, whew, whew, like a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop pulling the bellows. He struggled to touch an earthen jar under the bed, urinated in it, and saw blood in the turbid yellow water, Zhao Liumao was stunned holding the urine jar. He knew that everyone died, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly, and the dog hadn't grown up yet-
"Brother Zhao!" Doctor Huang pushed the door in, and when he saw Zhao Liumao's appearance, his brows immediately furrowed, and he quickly put down the medicine box to see Zhao Liumao's injury, Zhao Liumao pushed his hand away, handed the urine jar to Ah Gou and said, "Ah Dog, go and pour this!" ā
Doctor Huang snatched the urine jar and glanced at it, silently returned it to Ah Gou, no matter how unwilling Zhao Liumao was, he carried Zhao Liumao to the bed and checked the injury for him. Zhao Liumao wanted to push him, but Dr. Huang was angry: "I am a doctor, and the patient has to listen to the doctor!" ā
Zhao Liumao's mouth opened, and finally closed.
Doctor Huang looked at the room while looking at Zhao Liumao's injury, there was a big hole in the roof of the hall, and three of the four legs of a table under the table were cracked, like a leper dog lying there, presumably when Zhao Liumao fell from the roof. The thatch and snow fell into the house, and before it melted, it hurt to look at it. Zhao Liumao's breath was prickly, which hurt his lungs; If there is blood in the urine, it hurts the spleen and kidneys; Not only that, but two ribs on his chest were broken, and the injuries were really not light. Wutang Village is in the poor and remote area, and such a heavy injury - Dr. Huang is helpless. Doctor Huang thought about it, left a piece of Sanqi for Zhao Liumao, and asked Ah Gou to get Zhao Liumao something delicious, shook his head and left helplessly.
It happened that Zhu Jinbao was going to Gaojiatai again on this day, and when he got up and saw that the door of the tavern had not yet opened, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Lazy ghost, forget it if you are lazy, you won't open the door even after three poles are on the day!" ā
Zhu Jinbao stood in the courtyard and shouted at his father: "Dad, Zhao Liumao hasn't come to work today, you come down and open the door, I want to go out!" ā
Zhu Fugui was also a little strange when he heard his son's shout, and said to his mother-in-law: "Liumao is not so late on weekdays, I'll go down and take a look!" ā
"Didn't it snow heavily yesterday, maybe the road was difficult to walk, wait."
"Something is wrong!" Zhu Fugui shook his head, and said while putting on his clothes: "How many times has it snowed like this in previous years, and Liumao has never come at this hour!" Liumao once told me once, he said that before the death of the Eight Immortal Gu, he said that he had a big trouble this year, and it was not peaceful, so I went to take a look! ā
Zhu had a deep grudge against Zhao Liumao, and was immediately displeased, so he only heard her say: "Hey, what kind of law did I say Zhao Liumao did to you?" When his father was buried, you also contributed money and efforts, and you paid him for his wages and raised a baby for him over the years, what is the relationship between the two of you? Could it be that he is your father's illegitimate son? If you don't tell me clearly today, you want to get out! ā
"You mother-in-law, you really don't know the reason!" Early in the morning, the Zhu family made Zhu Fugui unhappy, he opened the door angrily and walked out, not even bothering to close the door. The sudden cold wind blew Zhu Shi hurriedly retracted the quilt, and muttered: "It's like that nest, it's better to die!" ā
The front door was not opened, so Zhu Jinbao naturally had to go through the back door. He first looked outside, everywhere was white, there was not even a footprint on the snow, he shrank his head and walked out with a ruthless leg. The road is not easy to walk, Zhu Jinbao waded five or six feet away, thought about it, or went back, so he turned back, just saw the scene of his father slamming the door, and couldn't help but wonder: "Dad, what's wrong with you and your mother?" ā
"Humph!"
Zhao Liumao didn't come, and of course no one boiled hot water. Zhu Fugui walked into the stove house, there was still a little residual heat in the water urn on the stove, he took the fire shield of the stove mouth, turned over the embers with a fire stick, and sure enough, there was still a little red star. Zhu Fugui rolled up the straw and stuffed it into the stove, and carefully blew it in with a blowtorch, he hadn't done this work for many years, and he was a little rusty, but he also lit the fire. The mother-in-law is right, he paid Zhao Liumao, but the cheapest worker in the Wang family also has five yuan a day, which is one penny more than Zhao Liumao. Since the **** Xiao Wuwa ran away, Zhao Liumao is doing all the big and small work in the restaurant, and Ah Gou also works with Zhao Liumao, he gives half a penny, this stupid woman can't count it, but he Zhu Fugui can be counted.
In the afternoon, there were guests in the tavern intermittently, and Zhu Fugui had to let his son Jinbao run back and forth to entertain him, this one wanted warm wine and that one wanted peanuts, and Jinbao ran a few times and held his stomach. His grandmother's, why can't you tell it at once, you have to let Lao Tzu run a few times! On such a cold day, it is fortunate to have drinkers, Zhu Fugui keeps giving Jinbao a look, if he offends these drinkers, he must clean him up!
I didn't see Zhao Liumao this day, Ah Gou didn't come, Zhu Fugui was tired, and his son Jinbao went to bed early after eating, no matter how he called it, he couldn't call it. Zhu complained while cleaning up the stove house: "I asked you to find a maid and you didn't do it, but now it's okay, you have to do all the big and small jobs yourself, and you deserve it!" ā
Zhu Fugui really didn't want to deal with his mother-in-law, so he decided that if Zhao Liumao didn't come tomorrow, he would go and have a look.
The next morning, Zhao Liumao still didn't come, the fire left last night was all extinguished, the pot was icy and the stove was cold, there was no heat in the stove at all, and the ashes turned out of the fire stick were cold. The mother-in-law was making trouble again, Zhu Fugui was upset, so she simply went out and asked for a bowl of dumplings from Wang Er, who was selling dumplings diagonally opposite the tavern.
"Boss Zhu, are you eating the dumplings comfortably?"
"Comfort, comfort! By the way, Wang Dumpling, have you seen Liumao in the past two days? ā
"Nope!" Wang Er's dumplings are big, thin-skinned, delicious, and the villagers gave them a nickname called Wang Dumplings. Wang Dumpling quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, looked up at the Fugui Tavern that was still closed, and said: "I haven't seen Liumao yesterday, I'm still wondering, why does Boss Zhu want to sell wine in person?" ā
"Isn't it because Liumao didn't come-" Zhu Fugui shook his shoulders and said helplessly: "I was going to take a look!" ā
"Liumao has always been diligent, and he won't come to work so late, maybe there is something at home that has delayed him!"
"Then you can also let Ah Dog explain to me-"
Wang Dumpling was silent on his face, but he said disdainfully in his heart: "How old is Ah Gou, only seven or eight years old, your son Jinbao is almost twenty years old, it's good to be lazy and lazy!" ā
