Lin Xiaochuan, who was put home, saw his mother Lin Shuqing, so he stepped forward to hug his mother, so aggrieved that he almost cried, Lin Shuqing gently stroked and patted his son's head but did not speak, nor did he tell him what happened at home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the mother and son of the Lin family and Li Erdan were eating at the fat aunt's house, and at the dinner table, Lin Shuqing once again expressed her gratitude to the Wu family and Li Erdan, thanking them for protecting Xiaochuan, and the anxious fat aunt waved her hand again and again and said: "Big sister, don't talk about it, and I'm going to look into the cracks in the ground, my sister is so ashamed that I panicked, you entrusted the baby to me, I didn't take good care of the baby!" Lin Shuqing held the fat aunt's hand and said, "Sister! I know it all in my heart! I can't blame you for this! His Ma family wanted to bully us, so he could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from fifteen! Meizi was very sad when she heard this, and said, "Teacher Lin, don't worry! Whoever dares to bully you and your mother again in the future, I will kill them! The innocent and kind-hearted Meizi really regarded the Lin family's mother and son as her relatives, and Li Erdan echoed Meizi's words: "Yes! Teacher Lin, don't worry, Ma Shihua will beat him to death if he dares to mistreat him again!" He clenched his fists as he spoke.

After the meal, the mother and son of the Lin family returned home and began to clean up the house, Lin Shuqing was thinking about how to tell her son about his father and grandmother, after cleaning up for a while, Lin Shuqing felt a little tired, dizzy, chest tightness and shortness of breath, she sat on the edge of the kang and gasped slightly, and drank hot tea, at this time she called Lin Xiaochuan to him and told him about her father and grandmother.

As soon as Lin Xiaochuan heard about his father and grandmother, he cried out loud, squatting on the edge of the kang and his shoulders kept twitching, Lin Shuqing endured his grief and used a black cloth to decorate Wu Wenzheng's image frame, put it on the windowsill above the desk, and then pulled up Lin Xiaochuan and asked him to wipe his face clean with a wet towel.

Lin Shuqing looked at Lin Xiaochuan and said in a sad but calm tone: "Child! Don't be sad! Dad is gone, grandma is gone, we always have to live, and we have to rely on ourselves in the future! The son wiped his tears and nodded.

Lin Shuqing took a breath and said: "The Meizi family has given us great help, we must always remember it, be a person with affection and intentions, and not let people down." From now on we must be strong ourselves, tears can't save us, this is life! Do you understand? Lin Xiaochuan stroked his chest up and down with his hand, picked up his mother's hand and put it on his face and said, "Mom! I get it! Lin Xiaochuan came to the countryside from the big city he was familiar with, at first the rural life here made him novel, but also made him strange and frightened, but after experiencing so many things, Lin Xiaochuan more or less understood his family's living situation, and today he faces his mother's words, he seems to have grown up a lot.

In fact, the "life" that Lin Shuqing said is the rural life where the Lin family is now located, and its meaning is much greater than what Lin Xiaochuan understands, it includes not only the life of the Lin family, but also the life of the humiliated barbarian aunt's family, and the life of the deeply suppressed and helpless, more pitiful than her Lin family, Qin Ying's ancestors and grandchildren.

Meizi didn't come to Lin's house at night, the hut was much deserted, Meizi was too cute, and the Lin family's mother and son felt unaccustomed to the lack of Meizi's cheerful figure and silver bell-like laughter.

Why didn't the plum come? In fact, Meizi fell ill in the afternoon, and the anxiety and worry for several days made her unable to eat and sleep, and she held on until Lin Xiaochuan was released, and today she finally fell ill in bed and had a high fever, and her mouth was full of fire bubbles, which made the old couple's hearts ache.

Meizi's eldest brother Yonggang went back to work in the city after lunch in the third year of junior high school, and the fat aunt wanted to tell Mr. Lin, because the fat aunt felt that the Wu and Lin families were inseparable, but Meizi didn't let her, saying that Mr. Lin must be too tired to hold on, so the fat aunt had to call Erdan to call the hygienist of the village health center, took fever-reducing injections and took medicine, and Meizi fell asleep groggily.

In the middle of the night, Lin Shuqing felt unbearable chest tightness and a splitting headache, reached out to pull on the lamp and wanted to find some medicine, at this time Lin Xiaochuan also woke up, and when he saw his mother wearing clothes and under the kang, he asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lin Shuqing slumped and sat on the kang, turned around to see that her son was awake, and said, "Mom is a little uncomfortable, you go and pour a glass of water for Mom, and then find an aspirin in the small medicine box!" Before Lin Shuqing finished speaking, Lin Xiaochuan jumped off the kang with his bare body, and the anxious Lin Shuqing hurriedly said: "Put on your jacket, don't freeze!" Lin Xiaochuan poured a glass of water, found the medicine and handed it to Lin Shuqing and watched his mother take the medicine and lie down, Lin Xiaochuan lay down beside his mother and said, "Shall I go to the West Courtyard and tell Meizi?" Lin Shuqing shook her hand to stop Lin Xiaochuan, and said: "Their family must have been tossing enough for your business these days, don't trouble people anymore, wait until dawn!" Lin Xiaochuan had no choice but to give up.

But Lin Shuqing's condition is getting more and more serious, when it is dawn, Lin Shuqing is delirious and has difficulty breathing, Lin Xiaochuan gets dressed and gets up, at this moment Lin Shuqing turned over with difficulty, and the strong vomiting made her face red.

Suddenly, Lin Shuqing's head was raised, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, Lin Xiaochuan was so frightened that she cried: "Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you? As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of Lin Shuqing's mouth with a towel. Lin Shuqing turned over and lay down, opened her eyes slightly, looked at Lin Xiaochuan and said, "Mom doesn't like manly tears!" Lin Xiaochuan's crying stopped abruptly and was not a little surprised, because Lin Xiaochuan had never heard his mother talk to him in such a tone, and then Lin Shuqing said: "You go to the West Courtyard to find Aunt Wu!" Lin Xiaochuan wiped his tears, turned around and ran next door to find the fat aunt.

The fat aunt's family has been really busy these days, especially Meizi is hungry and anxious, after taking the injection and taking the medicine, the fever slowly subsided in the second half of the night, and the family fell asleep until dawn.

At this time, I heard a knock on the door, followed by a crying voice: "Aunt Wu! Plum! Plum! "It's Lin Xiaochuan! Meizi was extremely sensitive to the voice of the Lin family's mother and son, she turned over and got out of bed, and ran out barefoot, and the fat aunt had also gotten up, seeing Meizi barefoot, the fat aunt hurriedly came up to stop her: baby, the ancestor screamed and pushed her back to the back room, and said, "You go to sleep first!" I'll go! I'll go! The fat aunt walked out and opened the door, Lin Xiaochuan saw the fat aunt and cried again: "Aunt Wu! My mom is sick! I vomited blood! The fat aunt was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly followed Xiaochuan to the Lin family, here Meizi didn't know what was going on in the Lin family, so she hurriedly kicked her pants and put on her shoes and ran to the Lin family.

When the fat aunt came to Lin's house, she saw Lin Shuqing's face was sallow, and there were blood stains on the kang and on the ground, knowing that this disease was different from the past, she was very anxious. Meizi came in and saw Teacher Lin like this, kneeling on the kang and hugging Lin Shuqing and crying, Lin Shuqing looked at Meizi's face that had been obviously emaciated by the Xiaochuan incident for so many days, and was very moved and uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help shedding tears, and said to Meizi: "Good boys are not afraid!" The teacher is fine! The fat aunt who calmed down said, "Hurry up to the commune health center!" You don't dare to delay this disease! Then he said to Meizi: "Meizi, you go to Brother Erdan and ask him to set up a donkey cart, and I will go home and tell you the big one!" Lin Shuqing said: "Xiaochuan, why don't you accompany Meizi all the way!" The two children ran out together.

The fat aunt turned around but suddenly saw the portrait of Wu Wenzheng on the windowsill, was taken aback, opened her mouth wide, pointed to the image frame and stammered and asked Lin Shuqing: "That...... That day the telegram was ...... It is......? Lin Shuqing nodded.

The fat aunt, a rural woman who was illiterate and not afraid of heaven and earth, suddenly burst into tears, she took Lin Shuqing's hand and cried and said, "My hard-working sister! Ahhh My dear mother! God really doesn't have long eyes! You have to die! How good is that? Lin Shuqing struggled to get up and knelt on the kang and kowtowed to the fat aunt, and the fat aunt was so shocked that she stepped forward and hugged Lin Shuqing: "Big sister!" Big girl, what are you doing here? Lin Shuqing took a breath and said, "Eldest sister! Your family is a good person, I can trust it, what happens to me this time? You should treat Xiaochuan as your son! It doesn't live up to our two sisters! After speaking, he took the fat aunt's hand and sat down.

Lin Shuqing is an intellectual woman, she should have watched "Dream of Red Mansions" many times, and she doesn't care about what it says about teenagers vomiting blood and fearing that her life won't last long, because she is middle-aged, and she doesn't believe in any destiny, and she is confident that she is not as squeamish as Qin Keqing and Lin Daiyu, but what kind of disease is it this time? She has no bottom in her heart, so she has to arrange her son's life, at least in the near future!

When the fat aunt heard Lin Shuqing say this, she hugged Lin Shuqing and swore and said, "Sister, relax!" God, I must treat Chuanwa as my own son! Girls are not afraid! You'll be fine! As he spoke, he helped Lin Shuqing to lie down.

For the fat aunt, she has never been so trusted and respected in her life, and the pride in the peasant woman's heart was stimulated, so when Erdan came with the donkey cart, the fat aunt not only brought a thick quilt from her own house and spread it on the car, but also put the fat uncle's big leather jacket on Lin Shuqing's body, and took out twenty yuan from her arms to Lin Shuqing, Lin Shuqing was reluctant to ask for it, saying that she had money in her pocket, but the fat aunt immediately pretended to be angry and said: "If you want to be polite to me again, I won't recognize you as a girl, Do you know that the poor family is rich? Besides, it's going to the doctor again, take it! Take it! Lin Shuqing was full of gratitude and had to accept it, Meizi put the new red scarf that her brother bought for her to Lin Xiaochuan, and the donkey cart drove the Lin family's mother and son to set off in the heavy snow.

The red scarf on Lin Xiaochuan's head is particularly dazzling in the snowy silver world, it is like a red signal light that never goes out in the vast sea, and it is like a small red sail faintly beating in the boundless sea of sand.

The fat aunt and Meizi stood in the snow and watched the donkey cart go away, until they were out of sight, and then turned back to the house with Meizi. In the fat aunt's opinion, if a person can be so trusted and respected in his life, what is it to help someone with some money? This is the kindness and simplicity of the Chinese peasants, imagine that in that unprecedented catastrophe, countless cadres and intellectuals in the factories and rural areas could survive, I am afraid they all have the same moving stories as the fat aunt, right?

After the commune health center was examined, it was said that Lin Shuqing was: overwork and severe colds caused lung infection, inflammation caused by bleeding in the lungs. Lin Shuqing hung water in the hospital for three days, it is said that he used good medicine, and it took more than 30 yuan to control the condition, and the inflammation disappeared, so Lin Shuqing said that he didn't want to live anymore, so he asked someone to send a letter to the fat aunt, saying that the minor illness was completely cured, and the fat uncle sent Li Erdan to take Lin Shuqing home with a donkey cart.

What a pity! It would have been fine if he had been hospitalized for a few more days, but due to the restrictions of the environment and conditions at that time, Lin Shuqing's disease could not be completely cured, and the scabs of the ulcers in the lungs could not be completely healed, leaving hidden dangers and leaving Lin Xiaochuan with endless lifelong regrets.
