Chapter 2 Being alive is more important than anything else
By the time Guoguo really came to his senses, a month had passed.
This month, the Fang family has undergone earth-shaking changes.
On the same day, Qingshu, who was still in the school, heard about the incident at home and rushed back. But what greeted him was the burning of his home, the tragic death of his grandfather, the serious injury of his father, and the uncertainty of his sister's life and death. Fortunately, the eldest sister and her mother returned to their grandmother's house that day and escaped their fate. Liang and Cao'er also got the letter and hurried back, and the doctor shook his head, saying that he was burned badly, which was very dangerous.
This series of changes made Qingshu, who was only ten years old, angrily kneel in front of the door of Lixu and asked for justice. This happened in the town, and it was not easy for Li Xu not to come forward, but they each played fifty big boards: it is an indisputable fact that Old Man Fang owes three hundred taels, and the third prince angrily burned the shop, which everyone has heard and seen; However, the shop was only worth one hundred and fifty taels at most, and the old man Fang automatically rushed in and was burned to death, and the Fang family's father and daughter were seriously injured, so the remaining one hundred and fifty taels were offset. The third prince tore up the IOU, and Lixu re-established a title deed for him, and from then on, the Fang family and the Liang family eliminated grievances.
Qingshu was not satisfied with such a result, and wanted to go to the county yamen to sue, but the Liang family held him to death, the top priority was to save Guoguo, and the Liang family could not afford to provoke him.
Guoguo was burned in a large area, and the doctor took the pulse, prepared medicine, and asked Liang to give her medicine himself. But even so, Guoguo's sleeves and trouser legs were burned, and when he was sent over by everyone, he had already been seen; And these scars on the body must have left ugly scars: this festival is completely ruined.
"Take the medicine carefully, she is more dangerous these days, if she spends it safely, if the fever can't stop, then the old man can't do anything." Doctor Wang sighed pityingly.
Ran Guoguo has been burning, and it has been burning in chaos for a week. Night sweats, vomiting, dreaming, I can't eat anything, I can only rely on ginseng to hang. But this ginseng is notoriously expensive.
The Liang family had no choice, so they bought all the remaining 20 acres of land and exchanged it for 80 taels of silver. While treating Fang Yuqian and Guoguo, he pushed down the completely uninhabitable houses in his hometown, and asked the villagers to rebuild three wooden houses. In less than five days, the house was built, all kinds of daily necessities were repurchased, and there was a home, but there was no money again.
Liang and Qingshu still breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the shop to sweep away the ashes in the hall and carefully put them into the clay pot. Old man Fang has been burned, but the dead are big, and he still needs to be buried in the ground. Spending money like running water, Liang is in a hurry again.
What can be borrowed in the village has been borrowed, everyone helps build a house without asking for wages, and the old man who helped bury Fang also confiscated the red envelopes. But everyone's hands are not rich. Although Li Xu sentenced the two families to no longer have anything to do with each other, but in the town, they didn't dare to borrow it blatantly, but fortunately, the Fang family is usually kind-hearted and everyone likes it, although they are still worried, but they also quietly sent some eggs and other food to eat, left a few pennies, and left.
Qingshu saw that his mother was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming, so he had to go to the school without telling Liang, knelt in front of Mr., cried and said that he would quit school, and begged Mr. to refund half a year's tuition: "I know that since ancient times, there is no reason to ask Mr. to retreat, but please ask Mr. to take pity on my sister's dying life and save her life!" Mr.'s grace, Qingshu is unforgettable. "It's been a year, and it's the beginning of May, and there's still half a year to go.
Fang Yuqian moved the shop to the town five years ago for the sake of Qingshu's studies. Qingshu is also competitive, very motivated, Mr. said that in the autumn, he can be admitted to the Tongsheng examination. But who would have thought that would happen to such a thing!
A few companions who usually play well also secretly lent him 500 yuan from their families, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
Master Wen asked him to think twice about dropping out, but Qingshu only knelt with red eyes and didn't speak.
That day, when he was still in the school, he heard that something had happened at home, and he rushed back.
Lord Wen sighed: "Qingshu, the heavens descend to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. I'll return this bundle to you! ”
"Mr. Xie." Qingshu kowtowed deeply again.
Liang trembled and took the three taels of silver with Qingshu's body temperature, and couldn't cry.
The Fang family's family came to help bring Fang Yuqian and Guoguo back to their new home. Fang Yuqian's injury was not serious, but the bone in his right leg was broken, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to heal in the future. Therefore, even if there is a new home, the Fang family is still shrouded in low pressure.
Liang's mother's family also had no money, so they sent twenty eggs, five hundred dollars and twenty catties of flour, which was already a great gift.
Later, Guoguo finally stopped burning, but the wound was painful and unbearable, and after a few days, it was itchy again, and he couldn't eat and sleep well day and night. And because most of her body was burned, the doctor told her that it was best to make a short coat for her to wear, so Guoguo didn't go out in the room for a month.
In the past month, the wound was first infected, painful, and itchy, and finally the wound grew new skin. Besides, there are scars, and the complexion has not grown well, and it is wrinkled and white, and it is very ugly. When Cao'er and Liang saw each other, they couldn't help crying. This made her even more irritable.
It wasn't until the injuries on his body were almost healed that Guoguo straightened out the current situation. In modern times, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and as soon as she was hospitalized and slept in the hospital bed, she inexplicably crossed over, and the exact same name shocked her.
She accepted all the memories of the original owner, and found that this was an alternate dynasty, the Donglin Dynasty. In modern times, she was an orphan, but here, although she suffered this crime, the repentance of the old man in the end and the love of the Fang family these days made her gradually feel at ease. The irritable love is also gone.
She began to wonder how she could lift the family up. And fortunately, the original owner is also a person who loves to learn, she and Fang Qingshu are dragon and phoenix fetuses, Qingshu went to the school to learn and came back to teach her and Cao'er, and they often go to the bookstore to read books, so, there are some things, there are excuses. Thinking about it made her feel a little lighter. Although the food given to her at home is still millet porridge, she knows that there is nothing to eat at home. In addition to this courtyard now, the Fang family is left with the mountain behind them, which can already be regarded as a family with four walls.
Cao'er and Liang's worked hard to do embroidery work every day, Qingshu went to chop firewood, and Fang Yuqian was already able to go to the ground, but he could only walk on crutches. So he could only do some manual work, but without tools, he couldn't do carpentry work.
Guoguo sat on the threshold, thinking of a way out, not noticing that Liang had walked up to her.
"How did you get out?" Liang touched her head lovingly, it was only a month, and the gentle thirty-year-old woman in her memory was now as old as fifty, so old that Guoguo's nose was sore, and she almost cried.
"Mother, it's out of the way." She buried her head in Liang's arms, "Dad and Qingshu are not outsiders, just look at it." She knew that the Liang family cared about her reputation, but the skin on her hands was wrinkled like this, and it was not finished, she could only wear short sleeves, what could she do?
Liang wordlessly stroked her head, her daughter, suffering.
"Mother, why don't you make me a glove, so that five fingers are exposed." Guoguo made a gesture and drew the modern kind of fingerless gloves. Although in ancient times, it was strange for a girl to wear gloves in the summer, it was better than exposing the scars on the back of her hands like this.
If she wears a long-sleeved outfit, only the scar on the back of her hand is exposed, and she can go out with gloves on.
