Chapter 16 The third aunt of Xiao
When the sun came out and was a pole high, Uncle Xu drove his horse to Liu's shop, and when he heard about the residence of Uncle Haizi's house, he pulled the horse to the gate of Uncle Haizi's house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a courtyard with three main rooms and two side rooms. Judging from the furnishings in the yard, this is a relatively solid family in the village.
Uncle, aunt, Grandpa Xiao and aunt all came out to greet him, carried Haizi into the north kang of the innermost room, and let Uncle Xu into the house enthusiastically.
"Don't be in a hurry, I see that Haizi will ease up, give him some rice soup first, and rest for a while. I have a ready-made bite to eat, and I have to feed the horses with a bundle of grass, and I have to rush back. Haizi's mother said that it will trouble your family, Haizi's injury is not light, look for Liu Yijiao to take a good look, if the money is not enough, please give it to the mat first. Haizi will be entrusted to your family, and I thank you for Haizi's mother. Uncle Xu said.
"Whoever is with whom, it's all a family and don't talk to each other. His sister has been hard enough in the past two years, and we don't care who cares about this matter again. Grandpa Xiao said.
After hurriedly eating and sending Uncle Xu away, Grandpa Xiao asked Uncle Haizi to set up a car to see the doctor.
"I'll go, you guys wait at home, I'll invite him to our house, a tunzi to live, he can come." The old girl who had not yet married Grandpa Xiao jumped off the ground and went out to find the doctor in a hurry.
"This girl doesn't grow up to be old. Doctor Liu is not something that anyone can invite. Grandpa Xiao looked at the back of his daughter walking out, and said angrily: "Don't let adults worry." Hurry up and help Haizi look at the injury, untie the clothes, I don't know where the injury is? Wash him first. ”
After a while, the third girl really found Liu Yiti. The third girl's real name is Xiao Dongxue, and she just entered winter on the day she was born, and it snowed a lot, so she was named Dongxue. Her nickname is Full Table, which means that the girl in the family has already filled the table, and there should be a boy, but unfortunately she has never given birth since her, forcing Grandpa Xiao to marry an old son-in-law. As she grows older, no one calls the name Full Table, because she is the third, people call her 'Three Girls', her two sisters have already married, the eldest sister is Haizi's aunt, and she already has three children, the eldest son is ten years old, the eldest daughter is eight years old, and the younger son is only four years old. The second sister married into another village, dozens of miles away from this village, and also gave birth to two children, both of whom were sons, and they did not come back often.
"You girl is really aggressive, better than a boy. It's easy for me not to come out to see someone, whoever is sick has to be sent to see me, and you girl just brought me here. Liu Yi took off his coat and said to Grandpa Xiao.
"This kid is wrong, like a tomboy, willing to do outside work all day long, doesn't learn needlework at all, and is used to it when he is a child. How about it, didn't you cause Dr. Liu any trouble?" Grandpa Xiao greeted Liu Yitie respectfully and apologized for the three girls.
"It's okay, they're all old neighbors, living in a tunzi, can I still come? Besides, I can't stand the three girls' soft grinding and hard bubbles. Liu Yijiao said as he came to Haizi to check the injury.
"Does it hurt? This...... This...... What a pain?" Liu Yitie checked Haizi from head to toe and asked in detail: "This is for people to beat." Tied up and beaten, the hands were so black, and both legs were broken, one was a thigh and the other was a calf. The ribs were broken on both sides, and the lungs were broken, otherwise they wouldn't bleed from the nose and mouth. Who hit it? It's so ruthless! ”
"Doctor, what should I do? Can you be left with a disability? How long does it take to get better? Please bother more, give a good treatment, big brother thank you. Grandpa Xiao begged.
"It takes 100 days to break your muscles and bones, and it will take three months. This child is a good age and should not be disabled. However, if the leg is not long, the leg and foot may also fall into some problems. I'll tie his legs together first, close the curtain, and you guys will come and help." Liu Yiti took off Haizi's cotton pants, grabbed his feet and neck, and asked Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Haizi to hold the root of Haizi's thighs respectively and drag them to both sides together.
Hai Zi was in unbearable pain, clenched his teeth, did not dare to gasp, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, Grandpa Xiao told him to shout if he couldn't stand it, but Hai Zi couldn't shout, so he could only grit his teeth fiercely.
Finally straightened the bones, put a plaster, and closed the curtain, Haizi stopped, and the three of them were also tired and sweating.
"Don't let him move. Change the plaster once every ten days, and you can remove the curtain after a month, and tie the curtain tightly and fix it after changing the dressing. Liu Yi instructed.
"Didn't the rib bone break too? There are also internal injuries, how to fix it? Uncle Haizi asked.
"Take your medicine. I'll go back and get some medicine and take it on time. I have a god in this medicine, specializing in the treatment of red wounds, and the cure of one is better. But this injury also has to be fed, don't let him move, he can't go down to the ground, he has to eat and drink on the kang, and you will be tired. After Liu Yiti finished speaking, he dressed and left.
"Give money, I have ...... here," Haizi said with difficulty.
Grandpa Xiao took the money, handed it to Uncle Haizi casually and said, "You keep it, we will pay for the medical treatment, and you can't let your sister spend it." ”
"Money, when I go to get the medicine, I still can't trust you? See who's going to pick up the medicine with me? ”
"Brother Liu is a miracle doctor, and he is a good person, hanging the pot to help the world, please take a lot of pain, give some good medicine, and let this child get better soon. Look how pitiful he is, he doesn't have a father yet, and his life is difficult. Grandpa Xiao said good things while sending the doctor out.
"Dad and brother-in-law, go back, I'll go with Dr. Liu to get the medicine." The third girl said.
After sending the doctor away, Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Haizi settled Haizi again, and put him on the kang head of the north kang in the back room, Grandpa Xiao said: "I will sleep next to you, let the big pillar sleep on the kang for a while." Your grandmother, your third aunt, and your sister sleep in Nankang, and your uncle lives in the outhouse. ”
"Dad, I'll serve Haizi, or let his old aunt help, you're so old, you can't move him." Uncle Haizi felt a little uncomfortable.
"You don't know how to wait, and it's not that you can't move at all, I can move him with his strength, I don't have to worry about you, my hands and feet are heavy, I don't worry." Grandpa Xiao insisted that he serve Haizi.
At this time, the third girl also came back with the medicine, she said: "I'll feed Haizi medicine, Liu Yitie told me what happened, I can also feed it when I eat, and you can take care of the rest." Liu Yiti said that his medicine is good, and he will be able to take it quickly, and it won't take long for him to go to the ground. ”
"You care? It's okay, you don't have to run out all day. Grandpa Xiao actually agreed.
The third girl adjusted the medicine, jumped on the kang, and lifted Haizi's head: "Come, the third aunt will feed you the medicine." ”
"No, I can!"
"What a line. Hurry up, open your mouth, and try the water. ”
"Light, don't be stupid, feed less at a time." Grandpa Xiao sat aside and pointed.
"These three snows are really good! A little more patient, out of breath. "My aunt watched from the side and couldn't help but say that she and her uncle called the third girl 'Sanxue'.
"I can do anything, but I don't do it, this temper has to be smooth." Grandma Xiao also said.
Haizi felt a warm current rushing into her heart, her uncle's family was so good. Haizi was grateful, and his eyes moistened a little.
For several days, Haizi spent time in extreme pain. Especially at night, I can't breathe, I can't hold back, I can't cough even if I want to, I don't dare to cough, and my stomach hurts and cramps. Slowly move from side to side, but it still doesn't work. The tossing made his head sweat, and the phlegm he coughed up was still bloody. Grandpa Xiao's family couldn't sleep well, and his uncle and aunt also came in several times overnight to help take care of Haizi, which was really enough to work for the family.
The third aunt has been running to Dr. Liu's house almost every day in the past few days, and Liu Yitie has also been here twice, he really can't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the third girl. After adjusting again and again, changing the dressing, and after opening the curtain on the tenth day of Haizi to change the dressing, the condition began to stabilize, and the dark sky was no longer tossed.
On this night, I saw that Haizi looked very good. The family sat around and chatted with Haizi.
"You kid, your life is so hard. I saw that you were almost dead two days ago, but it was okay very fast. Uncle looked at Haizi, who had gradually recovered, and was happy in his heart.
"His parents have done good deeds all their lives, and if they accumulate virtue, this child can escape this catastrophe." Grandpa Xiao said.
"Why do you beat the child like this?" Grandma Xiao held a big cigarette pouch in her mouth and sighed as she spoke.
"That's right, I went to Liu Yitie's house to get medicine for Haizi, and I saw that the two bearded men were also there to see a doctor, and I heard that they were given by the Yun family's compound. Isn't your boss vicious? Otherwise, how can I beat you like this? If you have revenge, you will not revenge a gentleman, and when you are well, the third aunt will go to him with you to settle accounts. ”
"I'll go too, kill him!" The big pillars are also on the side.
"The Yun family's compound is easy to provoke, who is not respectful within a radius of 100 miles? You go to take revenge, maybe you will be beaten to death before you enter the hospital, so stop quickly. Grandpa Xiao said.
"Why did you beat you, and you were so ruthless? If we are reasonable, we have to reason with him, and we can't just be beaten for nothing. My aunt also expressed her indignation.
The topic turned to why Haizi was beaten. Haizi has been here for more than half a month, why was he beaten, Haizi didn't say, and everyone was embarrassed to ask, they only knew that he was beaten by the owner.
"You've got to tell us why. Seeing that your injury will heal in a few months, we have to discuss what to do next, and see if we can go back to the Yun family compound. "Uncle wants to know the reason and is ready to make plans for the next step.
Haizi didn't want to tell the truth, but he couldn't help but say it, which is very important for what to do after the injury.
"I was good with the fifth lady of his family, but when the second master Yun found out, he beat me."
"Does his young lady have a mother-in-law?"
"Yes. Married on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. ”
"After getting married, she walks hers, won't it be over if you don't see her again, and you will beat people like this?"
"No, I'm talking to Miss Fifth about running together while she's buying a dowry."
"Didn't it work? A child who thinks like this is not guilty of a capital offense. ”
"No, we all ...... Affectionate ......"
In this way, in the question and answer, Grandpa Xiao's family knew the truth of the matter. Everyone stopped talking and fell silent.
"We're in the wrong! It seems that he can't go back to the Yun family compound. God can't starve to death blind sparrows, he can't starve to death there, he can live no matter how he lives. Grandpa Xiao comforted Haizi.
"Then you can't let go of this old vicious dog, it's his girl's willingness, and she's so ruthless. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, wait for your third aunt to find a soldier in the future and avenge you. ”
The three girls are all in their twenties, and they don't have in-laws yet. I heard that I found one a few years ago, but Grandpa Xiao disagreed. When Grandpa Xiao agreed to get married, the young man suddenly died of a mess. People say that the third girl Kefu, whoever looks for it is unlucky, and the age is getting older and older, it is not easy to find, and the high is not low, so it is delayed. The third girl's personality is like a man, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she will inevitably run into wicked people when she shows her face all day long. Once, the third girl went to visit her relatives alone, and met two wicked people on the way, and pounced on her to arrest her. The three girls ran away, and the two wicked people chased desperately, and they caught up, and the three girls were clever, and ran to a bare-chested horse grazing on the side of the road, and dragged the horse's tail and ran onto the horse's back. The frightened horse stood and galloped, and the two wicked men were also shocked by her action, and watched the three girls flee from the tiger's mouth in a daze.
There is a pond in the northwest of this village, which is a natural bathing place, and in summer, those half-sized children and old men soak there all day long, and women want to take a bath, so they have to come in the dark, walk together, and the black lights are blinding, and it is very inconvenient to go back and forth. Once, the three girls came to the pond with a stick, and without speaking, they gathered together the clothes of the men on the shore, lit a fire, and burned them. The men in the water, most of them half-sized, ran ashore to snatch their clothes. The three girls told them in a loud voice, "No man shall come in the future, let the woman wash it, or I will come and burn your clothes every day." Looking at the three girls' menacing appearance, the men were really shocked. Since then, it has become the norm in the village for women, some to bathe and some to wash clothes. With these things, the men in the ten miles and eight tuns are afraid of the three girls, and it is even more difficult to find the in-laws. This has also become a heart disease for Grandpa Xiao's family, and when it comes to finding his in-laws, Grandpa Xiao is worried.
"Alright, old revenge, revenge. A girl's family, learn some needlework, and find someone. It's getting late, so let's go to bed. Under the urging of Grandpa Xiao, the family dispersed and went to sleep.
Approaching the end of the year, families are busy again, preparing for the New Year. Haizi's injury healed very quickly, he was already able to go down to the ground on crutches, and he didn't need to be waited for by anyone, it seems that he is worthy of his reputation, Liu Yi's medicine is really divine, and he really has a stunt in treating red injuries. Grandpa Xiao's family can also spare time to be busy with housework and prepare for the New Year.
After eating this morning, Grandpa Xiao stopped Uncle Haizi, who was preparing to work outside, and told him: "Don't be busy today, it's more than ten months old, and there are not a few days left before the New Year." You go to your sister's house to see, and you don't know what you're thinking about. Take out some meat for their family, then take some noodles, take some soybean oil, catch a chicken and take it, and let the children eat dumplings during the New Year. Let's save a bite, it's enough for their mothers to eat. Didn't Haizi bring money? Use that money to tear some cloth for the children, and let the children see something new. Haizi's clothes were also broken, so he bought him a suit. No matter what happens, life has to be good. Discuss with Haizi's mother, what will you do when Haizi is better? He can't stay all the time, he's big, and he has to support his family. Don't be busy coming back today, go in a car, and help your sister with her work. Tell your sister, Haizi is almost well, don't worry about it, leave him here for the New Year, and the child can't stay at home when he is older. Grandpa Xiao instructed carefully, and at the end he added: "By the way, bring the black dog back too, and let it go home for the New Year." This dog, who is still really close to Haizi, stays under the kang all day long. ”
According to Grandpa Xiao's instructions, my uncle was ready to stop and set off. Although the black wolf was reluctant to leave Haizi, he was still led away. Before leaving, he jumped on the kang and made love with Haizi. Haizi also thinks that it is a good thing to send the black wolf back, and he can also bring a letter to Monroe. At this time, he was not only homesick, but also worried about Monroe, and the taste of sorrow and regret always lingered in his heart.
