Chapter 185
The person who came was completely black, only the teeth and the whites of his eyes were white, and his face was full of sadness, "Pay your salary today." A big smile appeared on her face at the mention of salary, "To Niel." "I don't seem to be very tired anymore." I guess your dad should be done with his medicine. ”
Qiu Lian hurriedly threw down the burning stick, clapped her hands, took the money she handed over, and put it in her pocket first. brought a basin of freshly boiled warm water, "Mother, hurry up and wash our guests, it looks like it's from the city." Secretly glanced inside, afraid that the people inside would hear it and whispered in her mother's ear: "It's better than the people in the county town dressing." ”
Qiu Lian sat back, untied the flower cloth handkerchief, straightened the rolled up money, and counted, "Ah! Sixty dollars, how can it be ten more? The fire in the stove reflected her happy smile.
"We do more than men, and of course we earn more." She first untied the scarf wrapped around her head and threw it outside, then washed her face, poured out the dark water, and replaced it with a basin.
"It's coming so fast." She muttered that she had received a telegram from her family, and she was just curious and wondering, could it be that the telegram had been written incorrectly! When did the two of them have relatives in Guannei? Later, I received telegrams one after another, and only then did I give them the address, and it took a few sons to feel distressed for a long time. It took three basins of water to wash off the black soot on his face.
I heard Qiu Qingyuan shouting in the house: "Hui Rong, Hui Rong, you are back, you must make a good meal tonight." ”
"Hey! I know. Hui Rong lifted the beaded curtain and walked in.
Qiu Qingyuan introduced: "This is your sister-in-law, Mu Huirong. "This is my comrades-in-arms, He Junyao and Li Qingjie."
He Junyao and Li Qingjie had already stood up when she came in. looked at the people who came, and said in unison: "Hello sister-in-law!" Although I was shocked by her countenance, her short gray hair and her thin face. Yellow with black, with a trace of black mud in the wrinkles, it seems that no matter how you wash it, you can't wash it off.
He Junyao remembers when they talked about their family situation. Qiu Qingyuan's lover is two years younger than him, and he is not at all like a person in his forties; If you look closely at her hand, it is a large, black, weather-beaten calloused and crusty hand that has worked hard all her life. This is my sister-in-law, I don't know and I think it's the elder of Qiu Zi's family!
"You guys chatter for a while, I'll make two side dishes." Hui Rong stood at the door and said enthusiastically to the people in the room, her eyes were clear and bright, and her words revealed coolness and joy.
He Junyao glanced at Li Qingjie. "Sister-in-law, wait a while, we will come from the county, bring some food, just warm it up." Li Qingjie carried his backpack. also followed, and handed it to her all in one go.
Qiu Lian hurriedly put down the small square table erected in the corner, and Hui Rong took it out in the same way.
The instant noodles and ham sausages contained in it were brought from Yunxian County, and in order to rush on the way, I ate some of them, and there were still a lot left. When I arrived in Qingshan County, I bought some cooked food, such as beef in sauce wrapped in kraft paper, braised chicken, chicken legs, chicken wings, sausages, bacon, elbows, pig's head, and steamed buns.
"So much." The small square table is no longer placed. The mother and daughter were surprised.
"Sister-in-law looks at it and quickly rectifies." The words fell, and Li Qingjie walked in.
At this time, from the surprise of the reunion of his comrades-in-arms, Qiu Qingyuan came back to his senses, Qiu Qingyuan's mouth trembled anxiously, "Company commander, I remember Li San'er's waist...... Waist ......"
Li Qingjie turned around and heard him say his waist, scratching his head with a smirk. "Well, it's been almost ten years, and it's just been cured. It's only twenty days old. ”
Qiu Qingyuan looked at him who came in again, his eyes straightened. It's been ringing in my head, okay...... All right.......
"Then ...... you" Qiu Qingyuan pointed at Li Qingjie, looked at He Junyao, and stammered as he asked.
"Yes, let's come to see you, and we'll see if you have any hope of being cured." He Junyao nodded.
"Let me tell you, Qiu Lao Er will really meet the divine doctor at this time." Li Qingjie said exaggeratedly, "It will definitely be cured, and I will keep you alive and kicking around if you think I am." ”
Hearing Li Qingjie's words, the mother and daughter rushed in and grabbed Li Qingjie's hand tightly, "Comrade, you are serious, my father can really cure my family's mouth." ”
"Yes! Yes! Li Qingjie patted his chest and promised.
He Junyao couldn't get used to seeing him with a big bag, put his hand to his mouth, coughed lightly twice, and glanced at him. If you don't know the situation yet, don't give people too much hope, and then it's not good to be disappointed.
Li Qingjie was embarrassed and scratched his head, "Can we take a look at the second child's legs first?" "It seems that the conclusion is that Sensei wants to eat.
"Ugh! Good! Qiu Lian's mother and daughter directly lifted the white, patched earthy yellow quilt for the army on the bed.
At a glance, I knew that it was an item from the army, and when I was discharged from the army, the head of the unit allowed Qiu Qingyuan to take it home. After using it for so many years, it is already a patch stack, and I don't know if a thin layer can still withstand the cold?
The people lying on the bed, except for a layer of cloth covering the key parts, were all bare, He Junyao hurriedly said: "It's still cold, let's just look at the legs." ”
"Ugh! Good! Qiu Lian put the quilt back on, and then rolled up the quilt to reveal the lower half of her body, with two thin legs in vain, which are still normal human legs, not deformed.
Since I haven't been in the sun for a long time, my legs are whitewashed and white, and the capillaries can be clearly seen. He Junyao touched it carefully and pressed it, but the muscles were still elastic and did not atrophy too much.
"No sense." He Junyao asked.
Qiu Qingyuan replied: "I have never been conscious, but her mother and mother have not given up, especially this child, who has massaged and wiped my body since I was six years old. Laundry, cooking, feeding chickens, and other big ones carry hoes to farm. Her mother went out to the mine to carry coal and earn money, but the men couldn't stand it, so in order to heal these legs, as soon as they heard that there was a good doctor, they carried me on their backs or carried me to see a doctor. "Speaking of the sad past, the family of three was full of tears." With the two of them supporting and carrying it so hard, I don't seem to be able to even die, and when I die, I'm sorry for their suffering and sin. He laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Dad, what stupid things to say, the most important thing is that you live." Qiu Lian knelt on the side of the kang and grabbed his hand.
"That's right! Anyway, no one dares to bully us even if there is a paralyzed man like you in the family. Mu Huirong wiped it, wiped her tears, and said with a smile.
"Why is someone bullying you?" He Junyao asked in a deep voice with a cold face.
"No, the people in the village are very kind to us, and they are very helpful." Mu Huirong shook her head and said indifferently, in the early years, someone in her mother's family persuaded her to remarry, but she didn't listen, and then she went down the mine for medical expenses, and no one dared to mention this look.
For men, who only pay attention to appearances, no matter how capable women are, no one dares to step forward.
Gradually, the smell of flesh penetrated into their noses, "grunting...... Grunt......" Qiu Lian's shriveled stomach screamed, her face turned red like an apple all of a sudden, and she shyly rushed out.
He Junyao put the quilt back on, and when his hand touched the kang, it was hot, and it was estimated that the kang was next to the stove, and the heat was conducted.
"Okay, let's eat first, and we'll talk after eating." Qiu Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "Take out the Baogu wine you brewed." ”
"Okay! But Dad, you can't drink. Qiu Lian lifted a corner of the bead curtain, poked her little head and whispered.
"You Nizi, good dad doesn't drink, it's okay! Shopkeeper's. Qiu Qingyuan winked at her playfully. She is now the head of our family. ”
"That's right! All the wages I paid were in her hands. Mu Huirong said with a smile, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, other people's children are still in the bright classroom, and she dropped out of school and picked up the burden of the family early. You guys, I'll fry two more side dishes. ”
"Mother, if you don't come out, I can do this." Qiu Lian said outside.
"Then I'll please." Mu Huirong said with a smile.
How could Qiu Lian outside not know that her mother was more bitter than her, she was ignorant at the beginning, she also complained about the heavens, and shouted to her father, "Why don't you die, you have dragged the two of us down." He rushed out and sneaked to the place where his mother worked, and saw her from a distance with a heavy basket on her shoulders and her feet on the dark bottomless coal pit road, moving out step by step. Each person has to carry more than a dozen tons of black coal from the roadway every day. Watch her back be bent. Seeing that she heard the steamed buns sold along the mine, her eyes were so eager, she took a few steps forward, pinched and pinched the banknotes in her hand, closed her eyes, opened the military kettle, poured it in, and walked into the road. That's really bitter and tiring. Qiu Lian ran home, hugged her father and cried all morning, patting his chest, "You must live, you must live for us." After crying, wipe away her tears, Qiu Lian completely changed, took on the whole family, she was only seven years old that year, she didn't understand, she wouldn't, so she asked the people in the village, her hands were burned, smashed, cut, but fortunately, she survived.
Although the hardships of life have tempered such a family, they are always optimistic and open-minded in the face of the hurdles given by God. Life is unsatisfactory, ten, when they encounter difficulties, they learn to self-deprecating and self-decompression. Only when people have a good mood and confidence can they overcome difficulties, overcome difficulties, and get out of difficulties. "The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows." "This matter is difficult to complete" Isn't this also the self-mockery of the lyricist?
"Mother, where is the food?" Qiu Lian looked at the red stove, wiped away her tears, came back from her memories, and shouted loudly.
"Of course it's in the house." Mu Huirong was also not polite, fully showing the boldness of the Northeast people, and commanded the two big men to say: "Move Qiu Zi inside, I'll go outside and bring the kang table, and you two go to the kang." ”
He Junyao and the two moved Qiu Zi lightly, revealing that the herbs for treating bedsores were laid underneath, and it seemed that they should be homemade, and the sheets were clean and tidy.
Bedsores are one of the most common complications of long-term paralysis in bed, with an incidence of 1-4.7%, the course of the disease develops rapidly, it is difficult to cure, and it is easy to recur after cure. Bedsores that do not heal for a long time can be complicated by life-threatening diseases such as osteomyelitis, sepsis and hypoproteinemia, and become the number one "killer" of typical bedridden patients.
