Tang Zhenglin trotted all the way to the city hospital, went up to the surgical ward on the second floor with a sigh of breath, and went to the nurse's office desk to knock which ward his mother-in-law was, and the nurse looked at the hospitalization number plate and told her that Qiu Shuzhen lived in ward No. 209. Qiu Shuzhen is the name of Tang Zhenglin's mother-in-law, he entered the No. 209 ward and saw that his daughter-in-law Liu Baoli, brother-in-law Liu Tiejiang and brother-in-law Bai Guimin were all there, and his mother-in-law was lying on the hospital bed, in addition to the hanging bottle on his arm, several tubes were inserted, and he was still asleep.

Tang Zhenglin entered the hospital and asked anxiously, "Baoli, how is Mom now?" ”

Liu Baoli saw that Tang Zhenglin was coming, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a little choked: "Mom went out to pour ashes in the morning, accidentally slipped and fell, and her leg would not move at that time, the younger brother saw this and hurriedly sent her mother to the city hospital, and took a look at it, Mom's femur was broken from the femoral head, and it couldn't be connected, only the operation was replaced with a white steel artificial femoral head, otherwise it would be paralyzed in the future!" ”

Tang Zhenglin hurriedly said: "Then do the surgery to change!" ”

Liu Baoli said: "The operation has been done in the afternoon, the doctor said that the operation was very successful, just now my mother has woken up, just now I gave painkiller injections and fell asleep in a daze." ”

"Why don't you tell me about such a big thing?" Tang Zhenglin was relieved when he heard that his mother-in-law had completed the operation and the operation was successful, but he couldn't help but complain about his daughter-in-law.

Liu Baoli said: "You can't help much, besides, there is a little brother and brother and daughter-in-law, and the little sister has always been there, just now I came out to buy food for us, and I can come back in a while." ”

When Tang Zhenglin heard that his daughter-in-law and brother-in-law hadn't eaten, he said with some heartache: "Where did Xiaoqin go to buy food, why haven't you come back yet, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Tang Zhenglin's sister-in-law is named Liu Baoqin, and she is still a big girl who has not yet left the cabinet. I have been living with my parents. Tang Zhenglin's father-in-law and mother-in-law's family belonged to the Guhe Suburban Vegetable Society, and although they did not belong to the rural household registration, they were not urban household registration, and they also ate grain supplied by the state, but the grain and oil certificate was not the red skin of the urban household registration, but the green skin. His daughter-in-law Liu Baoli is the eldest and has a younger brother and a younger sister, the younger brother has been living with his parents since he got married, and the younger sister has not yet married and lives with his parents.

Liu Baoli hurriedly said, "No need. We don't know where she's going to buy food, but I'm sure she's coming back soon, so don't go back with her. ”

While he was talking, Liu Baoqin came back with two pockets of convenient lunch boxes, and when he saw Tang Zhenglin there, he said, "Brother-in-law, you are here." ”

"Hmm!" Tang Zhenglin agreed and said, "Let's eat, it's all this time." ”

Liu Baoli and others sent their mother to see a doctor in the morning, and they were examined and hospitalized, and they were worried about the operation for their mother, and they didn't eat lunch. I was hungry until now, and when I saw Xiaoqin buy the rice, I opened it and ate it. After Liu Baoli ate a few bites, she suddenly remembered her husband Tang Zhenglin, her husband she was most familiar with. Knowing that he was going home for dinner at night, she was busy with her mother's affairs today, and she didn't cook at home at all, so she said, "Zhenglin." You didn't eat it, come, let's eat together. ”

Liu Baoqin bought it for Liu Baoli, and they bought three meals. didn't expect his brother-in-law to come at all, Tang Zhenglin hurriedly lied and said, "Baoli, I ate at my mother's house just now, you can eat quickly." ”

Liu Baoli was indeed starving to death, and after a while, she wiped out a box of lunch and a box of vegetables, and after eating, she suddenly remembered her son and asked, "Zhenglin, is Xiaoyu okay at his mother's house?" ”

Tang Zhenglin said: "It's good, when I went, he was finishing dinner and doing his homework." ”

"Ouch!" Speaking of this, Tang Zhenglin suddenly remembered that there was still boiling water in the pot, and hurriedly said: "Baoli, I have to go home quickly, and if I don't go back, I will burn the pot dry!" ”

When Liu Tiejiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law come back together, it's been a busy day, go home at night and have a good rest, here are me and Xiaomin, you can come back tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Baoli thought about it, the hospital was not big, it was still a ward for 6 people, and there was no place to sit here at night, so it was better to let the brother and brother and daughter-in-law take care of them for one night, and she would come over tomorrow to take over and replace them, so she said: "Xiaoqin, it's not safe for you to go home so late and so far, go to my sister's house for one night first, and then go home tomorrow." ”

The three of them hurried home, as soon as they opened the door, they smelled the smell of mush, Tang Zhenglin hurriedly opened the lid of the pot to see, half a pot of water was boiled dry, not to mention, the bottom of the pot burned red, fortunately, it was a cast iron pot, if it was an aluminum pot, the bottom of the pot would have to be burned a long time ago, and he hurriedly found two rags, put them on the ears of the pot and put the pot down on the ground to cool, he didn't dare to add cold water to the pot at all, as soon as the pot was fried, it could only be cooled slowly.

Seeing that the fire in the stove had already burned, Tang Zhenglin went to the warehouse outside to pick up a shovel of coal and added it, found the aluminum pot at home and sat on the stove, and added a little half a pot of cold water. He hadn't eaten until now in the evening, and now he felt very hungry, and he happened to have a few bags of instant noodles at home, and he was ready to eat.

Liu Baoli settled her sister in the house to watch TV and returned to the kitchen, and when she saw Tang Zhenglin boiling water and asking for instant noodles, she said, "Zhenglin, didn't you just say that you ate at your mother's house." ”

Tang Zhenglin said: "Seeing that you are hungry like that, I can bear to rob you with just such a mouthful of food, I can only say that I have eaten." ”

"Oh!" Liu Baoli couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Zhenglin, you go into the house to rest for a while, and I'll order instant noodles for you." ”

Tang Zhenglin said: "No need, you are tired for a day, so let me come." ”

Liu Baoli suddenly thought of something, and said with some apprehension: "Zhenglin, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? You say. ”

Liu Baoli hesitated and said: "My mother was hospitalized for surgery today, and the family's money was not enough, so I used Li Wenbin's 3,000 yuan!" ”

"Ahh Tang Zhenglin was taken aback when he heard this, originally the money would be returned to Li Wenbin tomorrow, but now Liu Baoli has used the money, what will she give back to others tomorrow!

Tang Zhenglin hurriedly said: "Isn't there still more than 3,000 yuan on our passbook, what are you spending that money for?" ”

Liu Baoli said: "Zhenglin, there is less than 1,000 yuan left in our passbook, have you forgotten?" At the beginning of spring last year, my little brother had to buy fertilizer and rapeseed, didn't he borrow 2,000 yuan from our family, last year due to the disaster, the vegetable harvest was almost gone, and the money was lost, and I couldn't even pay the money to keep it, I couldn't watch my mother lying on the hospital bed and couldn't enter the operating room! ”

The father-in-law and mother-in-law's family have a difficult life, and the daughter-in-law has a lot of support for her mother's house every year, Tang Zhenglin can't say anything, and he can't say anything today when his mother-in-law waits for money for surgery, so he waved his hand helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll figure it out myself tomorrow!"
