Chapter 4 Little Snails
Zhou Xiao'an leaned forward slightly, spread his palms, and tried his best to make his body language frank and relaxed, which was a credible and sincere gesture of asking for help in the eyes of a group of medical staff.
These are all things that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother often do in the workplace, and she has been reflexively engraved in her bones.
Zhou's father is strong and decisive, Zhou's mother is smart and wise, and the children carefully cultivated by the two of them, even if there are mistakes in the growth process, Zhou Xiaoan looks soft like a little snail who has to be bullied, and it is also a little snail who can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
She was emaciated and weak in her illness, and her eyes, which were a little wide because of nervousness, did not make people feel disobedient, but gave birth to an inexplicable trust in her words, "Comrade, we are engaged in production in the mine, and you are treating the sick and saving people in the hospital, we are all contributing to the revolutionary cause, and you have your regulations, which I can fully understand." ”
Zhou Xiaoan worked hard to search for the parts of his memory that belonged to this era, combined the language habits of the sixties with his own thoughts, and after saying the first few sentences, the subsequent words slowly became fluent.
"Comrade, I know that it is difficult for you to take care of you, so let's see if you can call the women's federation or trade union in the mine, tell me about my situation, and let the mine negotiate with the hospital to discuss and make an exception for me.
I should recover from my illness as soon as possible or go back to work as soon as possible, because national construction is a time when coal is urgently needed, and the production tasks on the mine are heavy, and none of us coal mine workers can delay them. ”
Doctors and nurses are accustomed to seeing patients in ordinary wards who are either ignorant and crooked or pitiful and pleading, Zhou Xiao'an's deliberate slowing down for fear of making a mistake seems to be unhurried and reasonable, and everyone has a more favorable impression of her, and her words have been more recognized.
And she had a really good idea, they didn't have to take responsibility, and the patient's problem was solved.
The round-eyed little nurse was about to call, but Zhou Xiaoan stopped her again, "Comrade, the comrades of the trade union and the women's federation are busy with work, and there are many important things that need to be solved.
Don't worry, the eldest sisters of the Women's Federation are heroines, I dare to repay the debt, and they can be arrested wherever I go. ”
With the guarantee from the factory, Zhou Xiaoan will definitely not dare to repay his debts unless he doesn't want to work. She said this just to lighten the mood.
After Zhou Xiaoan's condition stabilized, Zhou's mother picked up her old business and became a legal aid lawyer part-time, specializing in helping vulnerable groups fight divorce lawsuits, and she is very famous in the industry.
Zhou Xiaoan was deliberately taken by her side to increase her knowledge, and she was very familiar with the two institutions of the trade union and the women's federation.
She felt that she was in a hurry to wait for a life-saving event in the hospital, and there were many emergencies where people wiped their necks and hanged themselves! I don't know when I'll be here, so I have to start with the hospital.
Zhou Xiaoan tried hard to pull the corners of her stiff mouth upward, it would be better if her tone could be more relaxed, but unfortunately she was too nervous in her heart, so she could only do it unsatisfactory, "Our whole mine worker family, my mother-in-law's family is engaged in production in the mine, so I have to treat you as my mother's family!" ”
Everyone laughed, and the little nurse hurried to call the mine.
For Zhou Xiaoan, a situation where both husband and wife are mine workers, whether they are accommodating or not is in line with the regulations of the hospital, and the specific scale is in the hands of doctors and nurses.
Obviously, the few dry jokes she tried to squeeze out worked out well.
The doctors and nurses went out after checking the room, Zhou Xiaoan gently wiped the cold sweat on his hand onto the black blouse with dark blue patches, leaned against the head of the bed, and let out a long breath.
Before she could finish her breath, a noisy argument broke out in the hallway. A moment later, a tall old lady rushed in.
The old lady has high cheekbones and thin lips, her sparse gray hair is neatly tied behind her head, and there are a few neat gray patches on her faded slanted blouse, her thin body is very large, and she walks very imposingly, and the thin old lady Han was easily grabbed by her hand and staggered in.
This old lady is Zhou Xiaoan's mother, Wang Lamei.
Wang Lamei threw Mrs. Han to Zhou Xiao'an's bedside, pointed at her and scolded, "Our old Zhou family is not dead yet!" Our daughter is so easy to bully?! You made it clear to me face to face today, why is my daughter sorry for your old Han family? Let you guys be like this! ”
Mrs. Han breathed easily, opened her long tone and wanted to howl, to see that the menacing Wang Lamei didn't dare to splash, "It's a shame that she did it herself!" Ask her what she did! I don't even have the face to say it! ”
Wang Lamei also spoke viciously to her daughter, and dragged Zhou Xiaoan's uninjured right arm, and almost dragged Zhou Xiaoan, who was thin to a handful of bones, out of bed, "You are dead!" Let people be bullied like this without saying a word! You said! What the hell is going on! ”
Zhou Xiaoan carefully protected his hanging left arm and pursed his lips.
Although she has Zhou Xiao'an's memories, after getting married, she was more chaotic, and she was even more hungry in the last month, and she couldn't even remember what the accident was before she died.
However, her mother's family came to support her, of course she couldn't be silent anymore, "Their family joined hands to beat me, Han Xiaoshuang pushed me down the stairs, chased me over and kicked me in the stomach, and trampled my arm off!" ”
These are facts, and she is not lying. Although the arm was not stepped on by Han Xiaoshuang, she did step on it.
Wang Lamei was so active when she asked Zhou Xiao'an to find her mother-in-law's family to get the bride price, but now that Zhou Xiaoan is being bullied, of course she can't be idle.
Zhou Xiaoxian exploded when he heard it, "Is your family still human?!" You still have the face to cry grandchildren! Han Xiaoshuang kicked Xiao An's stomach, why didn't you say it?! What about Han Xiaoshuang?! Let her out! ”
Mrs. Han was so weak that she didn't dare to look at Wang Lamei, whose eyes were on fire, and she didn't dare to answer Zhou Xiaoxian's words, so she only went to Zhou Xiao'an, "You still have the face to say?!" Why did Xiaoshuang beat you? Yes? Do you have the face to say it?! ”
Mrs. Han is open-minded, how arrogant Wang Lamei is, she knew it when she was young in the countryside, if she didn't make it clear today, their family would not stop living in the future.
"Your daughter, stinky and shameless! While no one in the house pulled his man to do that in our little twin! Our little pair is still a big girl with yellow flowers! You're letting her run into something like this! You stinky shameless! It's light to beat you! It's time to pull out on the street and fight broken shoes! ”
Zhou Xiaoxian was silent for a while, she didn't think that the cause of the incident was like this, and the high cheekbones carved out of Wang Lamei's mold became hot and red.
The people in the ward who had been paying attention to this side also began to whisper, and Zhou Xiaoan's eyes were full of shame.
Zhou Xiaoan was even more stunned, she definitely didn't have this in her memory, and even her impression of her husband Han Dazhuang was very weak, and he wasn't very clear what he looked like.
Wang Lamei has been spicy all her life, and she is well versed in quarrels, so she spat at Mrs. Han fiercely, "Your little couple's bed? When you get married, your family can say it's a marriage bed! Your little girl, a twenty-one girl, occupied the marriage bed on the wedding day of her brother and sister-in-law, what kind of heart did she have? Who the hell is shameless?! ”
The old couple of the Han family live in a house of more than ten square meters with two sons and a daughter, which is a normal situation in Peizhou, where housing is tight. Moreover, the Han family's house is still a building, which is considered to be a very good condition.
But Han Dazhuang and Zhou Xiaoan got married, and they didn't give them a room in the mine, the husband and wife are both regular workers, and there are hundreds of couples waiting to share the room, Zhou Xiaoan is just a temporary worker, and it can't be their turn at all.
Like many young couples, they tied the knot at their parents' house, and the crowding in the Han family's ten-square-meter hut can be imagined.
Han Xiaoshuang has been used to being domineering at home since he was a child, and on the night of his wedding, he suddenly lost his temper and refused to make room for his brother and sister-in-law. As a result, Zhou Xiaoan and Han Dazhuang didn't even get on the marriage bed, one started the hanging tower and the other slept on the floor.
Mrs. Han said, let them be brothers and sisters-in-law to understand something, and wait for Xiaoshuang to stop worrying.
At this point, Mrs. Han was right, she didn't feel that she was at a loss, and hid on the other side and quarreled with Wang Lamei across Zhou Xiaoan's hospital bed.
The more noisy the two sides became, the more intense they became, and the crowd watched the excitement, and the ward was as lively as a vegetable market.
The nurse who came to stop it didn't have the big voice of the round-eyed little nurse just now, and no one listened to her several shouts.
"Your old Han family is really good! The daughter-in-law beat her daughter-in-law and miscarried, and it is reasonable! ”
"How is your old Zhou family? Sister-in-law pulls a man on the sister-in-law's bed - whining-! ”
……
The two families quarreled so much that no one listened to the little nurse.
It wasn't until the little nurse brought in the head nurse that the head nurse shouted loudly, and finally the quarrel and excitement stopped, and the attention shifted to her.
The head nurse came to Zhou Xiao'an's bed and looked at Wang Lamei coldly under everyone's gaze, "Are you your mother-in-law?" Mother? ”
Wang Lamei was still angry, and agreed loudly, "Mother! ”
The head nurse looked at her with sarcastic eyes, "My mother? My mother-in-law doesn't know what's going on, and you don't know what's going on with your daughter?! What are you arguing about here? Zhou Xiaoan is still a virgin -girl! ”
