Chapter 1: Quarrels
Lao Ge's family used to be butchers. Life is much better than that of the villagers who are digging in the fields.
Lao Ge gave birth to five children, and the three daughters were all married far away, and the soldiers were in chaos, and gradually there was no news. The eldest son was born strong, and later took over Lao Ge's meat stall. The youngest son was born when Lao Ge was sixty years old. Oops, that's really growing up in the palm of your hand.
The eldest son begged for a daughter-in-law, the first child was a daughter, Lao Ge was also happy, the daughter was good, the daughter was intimate. Lao Ge couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of his three daughters.
The second child is still a girl, Lao Ge smiled. The third child is still a girl, and Lao Ge is a little unhappy. The fourth and fifth children were all daughters, but Lao Ge was not sad, he died before the fourth daughter was born.
Later, the eldest son went to the army. Only the blind old daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law, five granddaughters, and the eleven-year-old thin youngest son were left. Just look at the sick appearance of the youngest son, and I don't know if he will live to adulthood.
The villagers all said that it was the old Ge family who killed too many evils, so they would be gone.
I don't dare to let the people of Lao Ge's family hear this, otherwise, even the blind mother-in-law will beat people from the east of the village to the west of the village with a cane.
The eldest granddaughter, Ge Chunhua, is fifteen years old and didn't say anything about people. The eldest aunt and daughter-in-law in the village said that the Ge family's life was not good and they couldn't give birth to a son. However, even so, there are still many people who are asking for marriage. Not for anything else, Ge Chunhua is beautiful. Big eyes and small mouth, white skin and good figure. It makes people feel comfortable watching such a beautiful person live a lifetime. But Ge Chunhua is not happy with any of them, her father went to be a soldier, her mother is weak, her uncle is still young, and the family listens to her. What she doesn't like, no one can do.
The second granddaughter, Ge Xiahe, is thirteen years old. Originally, it was called Xia Hua, but she disliked the word flower, so she changed her name to Ge Xiahe at home. didn't say anything about people, firstly, there was an eldest sister above, and secondly, Ge Xiahe was high-spirited, and the people in the village looked down on him. She does have this capital, she is small, clean and tender, and there is a puddle of water in her eyes.
The third granddaughter, Ge Dongdong, is twelve years old. There was an autumn leak in the middle, and Lao Ge was afraid that the next child would still be a daughter, so he made up the four seasons, so he called the third granddaughter Dongdong, which means that the four seasons are over, so let's give a grandson. Dongdong is honest, the most honest, and she does most of the work at home. She had more strength than two or three men, and of course she ate more. looks good, it's not as beautiful as the two sisters, follow her father. The face of the Chinese character is not big, and the skin is still dark.
The fourth granddaughter and the fifth granddaughter are twins, named Autumn Flower and Autumn Leaf respectively. The two little people are six years old, eccentric.
――――――
The butcher's business has long been robbed. The eight members of the Ge family live on fourteen acres of land, and several daughters do some needlework on weekdays to save some money. The days have passed.
Seeing it, another year is coming to an end. Chen Suyun, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ge family, took her eldest daughter to the street to buy some New Year's goods, and the rest of the family cleaned up the house.
"Xia Hua, clean the house well." The old woman walked out of the house tremblingly on crutches, "Don't be lazy! I smell musty in my house, you slacker! ”
"My name is Xia He!" Ge Xiahe moved a recliner to bask in the sun in the yard, almost fell asleep, listened to the old woman's words, and was unhappy, "There are all treasures in your house, where do I dare to go in, what if there is one missing?" ”
The old woman took the cane and knocked the ground a few times: "What did you say!" You're going to me off! ”
"Come on, you haven't heard of this scourge for thousands of years. How can you die so easily? Ge Xiahe's yin and yang weird words, the angry old woman's hands and feet trembled.
Ge Wenzhi silently took the broom: "Mother, I'll go sweep......"
The old woman was in a hurry, and when she heard the voice, she trotted to her younger son and snatched the broom, stumbling in the middle and almost falling down.
"How can you do that!"
"Mother, be careful!" Ge Wenzhi said.
The old woman looked distressed: "You are so weak, go back to the house and lie down." ”
Ge Wenzhi is eleven years old, and his head and body look like a **-year-old child.
"I was in the room all day... I also want to do something for the family. ”
"What to do! There are so many girls in the family......"
Before the old woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ge Xiahe: "Yes, we are all girls." Just his baby, the Ge family is a single seedling! Hmph, just this sickness, maybe how long he can live! ”
Ge Qiuye and Ge Qiuhua glanced at each other, knowing that the second sister had made a big disaster. Grandma hates people talking about her uncle's illness the most.
The old woman picked up the cane and was about to hit Ge Xiahe, but Ge Wenzhi hurriedly stopped ...... Pity this blind old woman, who didn't beat her granddaughter, she beat her precious little son.
Ge Wenzhi's head was sturdy for a moment, his face turned white all of a sudden, his lips trembled a few times, and his eyes rolled and he fell to the ground.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The old woman panicked, she heard Ge Wenzhi scream and stopped moving, knowing that she had hit the wrong person.
Ge Qiuye ran to the stove and called for Ge Dongdong, who was burning the fire, to help. Ge Qiuhua trotted out and went to find the old doctor in the east of the village, the old doctor is not very good at medical skills, and it is enough to deal with some minor diseases
Only Ge Xiahe was dumbfounded, she was unforgiving, but she was the most timid.
"You're a dead star!" The old woman touched her little son who had fallen to the ground, and felt that the sky had fallen, and sat on the ground and cried wolf.
At this time, Ge Xiahe also said: "Are you blaming me?" People are you who fight! ”
"Grandma, I'll take my little uncle into the house, it's cold on the ground." Ge Dongdong hurriedly ran out of the stove.
The old woman couldn't catch Ge Xiahe's people, so she poured all her anger on Ge Dongdong. Ge Dongdong was not afraid of the cold, and only wore a thin jacket, and the old woman picked out the tender meat.
Ge Dongdong doesn't care, to be honest, just the old woman's strength is not as strong as her usual bathing.
The old doctor gasped and entered Ge's house: "You little doll, I'm so old... Kind of let me catch my breath. ”
"Doctor, please. Hurry up, my little uncle is not in good health, you know ......" Ge Qiuhua took the old doctor's hand and led him to Ge Wenzhi's room.
The weather was not too cold, and there were already two charcoal fires in the house. Ge Wenzhi lay on the bed, cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out.
The old doctor inquired about the cause and effect, opened Ge Wenzhi's eyelids and looked at it, and checked his pulse again.
"I'm afraid I have blood in my brain, and I won't wake up for a while." The old doctor made a diagnosis.
"I don't dare to take the drug, you guys, it's best to take him to the county medical hall to have a look."
