Chapter 265: The Price
Uncle's leg was treated by the best specialists in the General Hospital of the Military Region, and there is no hospital in the country with a higher level of medical care than there. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
So for the time being, there is no way to do it.
Zhou Xiaoan tried to control his emotions, wiped his tears and wiped them, and jumped off the edge of the kang, "Uncle, wait for me!" ”
Then he ran back to the East House, and after a while, he ran back again, holding a white pill in his hand, "Tao Weiwei gave it to me, saying that it is a special medicine for pain relief, which has just passed the clinical trial, and has not been officially applied, but it is just being tried in their hospital." ”
Uncle said that it hurts, then it must be a pain that she can't imagine, she can't cure his leg root, but she also wants to relieve him of some pain.
This powerful painkiller can't be taken regularly, but it must be taken in this situation today.
Zhou Xiaoan knew that the uncle said that he would leave in twenty minutes, so he must have left.
He stayed for her at such a critical time, afraid that she would be worried, and assured her that he insisted on appeasing her before going to the rescue scene, Zhou Xiaoan was already very surprised, and was very moved, she couldn't drag him back anymore.
Even though she was very worried, she very much hoped that he would stay in a safe place and not risk his sick leg.
But this era is not the world she lived in before, for the people of this era, the interests of the country and the collective are more important than everything, and giving up a small family for everyone is the most basic world view, she has no position to question, only respect.
Therefore, the uncle can do this for her has exceeded her expectations, and all she can do is to try her best to help him relieve the pain and let him go to the embankment with confidence.
Zhou Yuehai took the medicine in Zhou Xiaoan's hand without hesitation, and began to tell her again, "Do you remember what my uncle told you last time, what if the embankment breaks?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan bit his lip fiercely, "Go to the roof and wait for my uncle to come and save me." ”
Zhou Xiaoan thought about what her uncle said for a long time after that conversation, who can she be responsible for? To whom does she want to be accountable?
How many people in later generations are discussing that the hero who sacrifices himself to save others is kind to strangers and cruel to his loved ones, is this kind of behavior advisable?
Everyone has their own opinions, and Zhou Xiaoan has also swayed in different views, but seeing Uncle Xiao's injury today, the pain made her completely understand that she is just a selfish ordinary person, and when she can't do it, she must protect herself for the people she cares about most.
She is now able to save her wife's family, and she is also ready to save them when the flood really comes, and even encourages several children in the family to sleep here at night so that she can rescue them in time.
But she also clearly understands that when she is incapable, no matter how difficult it is, she will let go.
She can't let the people who care about her go through the pain of her selfish kindness.
So for the first time, she clearly assured her uncle, "Uncle, don't worry, I will put my own safety first at all times." ”
Zhou Yuehai breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and patted her head rewardingly, "Don't worry, Uncle just said that in case, most of the flood discharge of the dammed lake has been completed before the rain, as long as the flood of the Dongchun River does not come, even if the embankment is washed away, there will be no great danger." ”
Then he still told her again, "In case something happens, don't be afraid, Uncle will definitely come back as quickly as possible, just wait with peace of mind, even if you leave home, Uncle will definitely be able to find you." ”
Zhou Xiaoan didn't worry about this at all, no matter how big the flood was, she couldn't rush away, "Uncle, you have to protect yourself, don't get hurt again!" ”
Then he took out a piece of blood jade and handed it to him, "Amulet, you have to promise to carry it with you at all times!" ”
Not to mention that it was just a small stone, now she asked Zhou Yuehai to hold a grinding plate, in order to prevent her from crying again, he would also carry it away.
Seeing that Zhou Yuehai had put away the blood jade, Zhou Xiaoan went to get him a raincoat, "Uncle, if you want to go, go quickly!" I know you're not worried over there. ”
Zhou Yuehai looked at his watch, "There are still five minutes, I watched you feed Xiaohu before leaving." ”
In fact, I found out that she wanted hot rice soup, and I was worried that she would not use a rural earthen stove to make a fire at all.
Zhou Xiao'an cooks at home with small potatoes and Zhou Yuehai to help her, she has never built a stove, she is used to stir-frying, there is a prosperous stove burning, and subconsciously she still feels that she is using a modern gas stove, and she has no consciousness of making a fire at all.
It wasn't until she saw Zhou Yuehai squatting down to make a fire that she hurriedly grabbed it, "Uncle, just sit down and watch and teach me how to do it." ”
Although he knew that he was about to go to the berm in the cold muddy water, Zhou Xiaoan still couldn't bear to let him drag his injured leg and squat down to work.
Zhou Yuehai's eyes darkened in the shadow of the light, although he had long known that his leg injury would cause inconvenience, and he didn't mind limping in front of others, but he didn't want Zhou Xiao'an's mercy and care.
In fact, he has never wanted her to know, for fear that she will be sad and worried, and subconsciously he doesn't want her to change his opinion of himself.
He really wants to always be the omnipotent uncle in Zhou Xiaoan's heart, let her worship and trust and rely on her wholeheartedly, he likes that feeling and himself like that so much, and he doesn't want to change it at all.
However, after tonight, everything will slowly change.
In the future, do you really want to be an uncle who drags one leg from time to time and lets her take care of it carefully?
Zhou Yuehai suddenly felt that the air on this rainy night suddenly cooled, so cold that his heart contracted.
Zhou Xiaoan grabbed a handful of hay and lit it with a match, and saw that the second uncle and mother-in-law had done it many times, and she could still do it well.
It's just that she didn't know how to rub the ashes of the stove in one hand, rubbed her nose again, and when the fire in the stove burned, she already had two mustaches and a black nose.
The firelight in the stove reflected Zhou Xiao'an's snow-white little face and the black ash on it with a layer of warm light, and the cold air outside and the sound of the rain set off the warmth and brightness of the stove.
Zhou Yuehai looked at Zhou Xiao'an's ignorant and newborn animal-like expression and laughed, and the loneliness and inexplicable boredom just now disappeared at once.
Before he got to know this little niece, he had always felt that the world was empty and indifferent, and he never knew that another independent person could make him so intimate and warm-hearted, if this leg could make him feel the price of family affection and concern, then he was willing to pay.
Just heat a little bit of rice soup and burn two handfuls of hay, Zhou Xiao'an went to take out the little tiger who refused to sleep alone and was already screaming, and squeezed the rice soup into its mouth drop by drop.
Zhou Yuehai instructed her beside her, correcting the speed at which she squeezed the rice soup and the angle at which she took the reed pipe, until Xiaohu was comfortable eating, and the two of them were relieved and looked at each other and smiled by the warm fire.
Zhou Yuehai looked at the watch a few times concealedly, until it could no longer be delayed, and Zhou Xiaoan fed Xiaohu well, so he took a deep breath of the warm air here, got up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Xiaoan held Xiaohu in front of him, "Xiaohu, come, goodbye to uncle, let uncle pay attention to safety, go home early, we will wait for him to come back at home." ”
Although Zhou Yuehai took care of Xiaohu seriously and thought about it in every detail, his original intention was just to make Zhou Xiaoan sad when he died, and he didn't have any special feelings for the kitten itself.
But Zhou Xiao'an lifted it up like this, and listened to her say such things softly, and suddenly felt that this little thing that was screaming very loudly became cute, gently stroked its back, and even went to say "goodbye" to it.
It wasn't until the moment before leaving that Zhou Yuehai was willing to let Zhou Xiaoan wipe off the black ash on his face, handed her a handkerchief, and pointed his finger at the tip of her nose, "Little flower cat!" (To be continued.) )
