When Aunt Yang saw Li Ziyu, she forced a smile and said angrily: "Xiaoshan came here just now, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Ziyu handed the basket in his hand to Yang Liu, who was standing on the ground of the house, and said, "I didn't know that Uncle Yang was sick, if Xiaoshan hadn't come, I would still be in the dark." Uncle Yang, what kind of disease is this? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Aunt Yang sighed: "Alas! Is your home not enough for you to be busy? Besides, don't you have to hire someone to go up the mountain to cut wood, and tell Widow Zheng what can you do? I can't help you much, I don't have to pay you back. You're bad enough. By the way, you and Widow Zheng"

"It's all right, don't worry." Li Ziyu didn't want to talk more about her family, so she quickly changed the subject. "What kind of disease does Uncle Yang have? How did you lose so much weight? ”

As soon as she talked about Uncle Yang's illness, Aunt Yang couldn't help but shed tears: "I said that I said it was tuberculosis." Listen to Dr. Fu, it seems that there is no good way."

Aunt Yang choked up and couldn't go on. Yang Liu and Yang Jinbo on the side also wiped away tears.

Li Ziyu was also taken aback in her heart. Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease in modern times. No wonder no one knows. In ancient times, if anyone had this disease, they would definitely be taken away and isolated, and life and death depended on their own lives.

In Aunt Yang's intermittent narration, Li Ziyu learned the reason why Uncle Yang had this disease.

It turned out that since Uncle Yang's leg was injured, he was extremely depressed. He didn't drink to relieve his sorrows, but smoked more fiercely than before. Every day, the old dry tobacco does not leave his hand. In addition, the previously strong body is now unable to do anything, and the mood becomes very bad every day.

Day after day, slowly the body really collapses. It started with a few coughs. No one took it to heart. Later, her body became weak, chest pain, weight loss, fever, and night sweats, and Aunt Yang was in a hurry.

Bring Dr. Fu to take a look, a thunderbolt on a sunny day really blinded the whole family. It turned out that Uncle Yang had tuberculosis.

Aunt Yang begged Dr. Fu to keep it a secret, crying and begging Dr. Fu to save her husband. Dr. Fu had no choice but to say that he would do his best. Let them have a chance, or go to the town medical hall to have a look.

I asked Dr. Fu how much it would cost to treat this disease. Doctor Fu said that at least twenty or thirty taels of silver would be paid. It depends on how well he recovers, if it doesn't work well. It's hard to say how much.

When Uncle Yang heard this, he didn't want to heal the disease. I'd rather just go than spend that unjust money. Aunt Yang had no choice but to rely on him.

But I told Dr. Fu about it. Let Dr. Fu continue to heal him. It's just that Dr. Fu comes every time. It's all in the dead of night. And since Uncle Yang injured his leg, he rarely walks around the village. Therefore, no one in the village knows about Uncle Yang's illness, nor does he know what kind of illness Uncle Yang has.

But even if he didn't go to the town for treatment in the village, the family's limited savings were gradually spent. This is still the cost price for Dr. Fu to know the situation of his family, as long as he wants.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Aunt Yang originally wanted to buy some meat to meet the solar terms, after all, there are still two children. But there is less than a tael of silver left at home. If you buy meat. Then the next step is to take less medicine for the husband. So he gritted his teeth and didn't buy it. It is estimated that the whole village is not buying meat today, right?

Since her husband got sick. The mother and daughter rushed to work day and night to do embroidery, hoping to earn more money so that their husband could spend more days. The few dollars you can earn from embroidery work are a drop in the bucket compared to the huge cost of medicine. But the mother and daughter did not give up and still rushed to work day and night.

Little Jinbo sensibly took care of his father, and every day he was on his knees, which somewhat comforted a heart that was extremely decadent and desperate.

Li Ziyu knew the cause and effect, and hurriedly took out twenty taels of silver from her arms, handed it to Aunt Yang and said, "I didn't know that Uncle Yang's illness was so serious, I only took twenty taels this time." Aunt Yang, you take it first, and I'll take another twenty taels tomorrow. Doctor Fu is right, he should take Uncle Yang to the town medical hall to have a look. How can you not be treated if you are sick? You don't have to think about the money, I'll spend it first. ”

Aunt Yang's hand holding the money trembled a little, and she trembled and said, "What is this?" You still have a large family to support. Besides, don't you still have to build a house after the New Year? ”

"Aunt Yang, don't worry! I still have the money. Uncle Yang's illness can't be delayed any longer, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will take my family's carriage to the town to see Uncle Yang. I say this because I'm afraid there will be no one in the hospital. The medical center for the Chinese New Year may also be closed, and I am afraid of running in vain. Li Ziyu explained.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu! The aunt took the money with a disgusted face! To be honest, I'm really at my fault. Your money is really life-saving money for your aunt! The aunt didn't say anything else, the aunt remembered it in her heart. Aunt Yang's tears fell down and she held the money tightly in her hand.

Since her husband fell ill, she had never slept soundly. She longed to break a copper plate in half and spend the family's money, and all the expenses of the family stopped, so she was afraid that her husband's medicine money would not be settled. But even if you save money, the family's money is almost gone.

Xiaoyu's money is really a charcoal in the snow! This kindness she will tell her two children will never forget.

"Auntie, what do you say? Who dares to guarantee that they won't get into trouble? When you get to the difficulty, help and this hurdle will pass. Could it be that in the future, I will have a difficult time, and my aunt will be watching my excitement from the side? Sure it will help me, right? ”

Li Ziyu walked to the kang as she spoke, looking at Uncle Yang's thin and shriveled body and haggard face, and felt sad in her heart. Uncle Yang was one of the most well-known men in the village back then, and he was a good hand at everything. I didn't expect to break my leg on a trip up the mountain, not to mention, and now I have this disease again.

"Uncle Yang, if you are open-minded, there is no hurdle in this world that you can't get over. You can rest assured that I will go first. ”

After Li Ziyu finished speaking, she opened the basket she brought. Yang Liu just took the basket just now and didn't open it to look at it. At this time, I couldn't help but be startled.

"Where did you get such fresh food? And you should take this meat back quickly and give it to Xiaohu and Xiaolan to eat. ”

Aunt Yang saw the contents of the basket, where would she ask for it? insisted on letting Li Ziyu take it back.

Where does Li Ziyu have time to excuse them? hurriedly said: "Aunt Yang, you are a foreigner like this!" If I can get it, it means that I still have it at home. What are you doing here? I'm here for my uncle to make up for his body. Don't you even eat meat when you watch my uncle Yang Liu and Jin Bo celebrate the New Year? I'll be so angry if you excuse me! ”

Aunt Yang thought that her husband and children didn't eat meat during the New Year, so she felt uncomfortable and took it. yes, I don't have anything, but I still have my husband and children.

Li Ziyu touched Jin Bo's head lovingly, and walked out of the courtyard with the basket.

No one noticed that the tears in Yang Lixin's eyes lying on the kang in the room were surging out, seeping down his cheeks and into the pillow. His eyes were tightly closed, and his thin body was trembling slightly.
