Liu Hong slowly drank the porridge in the lunch box and occasionally ate a small strip of pickles. The porridge and rice in his mouth are light and tasteless, but in his heart it is difficult to calm down. In her memory, no one came to see her during the day. The eldest sister and mother-in-law came together when it was dark. How stupid she must have been at that time, she didn't mind at all and wasn't angry. She understands everyone around her, and they have understood her.

Xu was really hungry, or he didn't care at all, anyway, the porridge Liu Hong in the lunch box was drunk into his stomach. Ye Gang also sat silently, watching her finish eating, then stood up and said.

"I'll go back first, you can sleep for a while. ”

"Well, thank you, you can go back to sleep too. ”

He's gone, the same as he was fifty years ago. It's just a fifty-year memory chain, which makes Liu Hong a little more lost and apologetic than at that time. At that time, she was the sluggish type. For Ye Gang, he just regarded him as a good buddy. When she was a young man, he was the point chief, and she was the secretary of the regiment branch, which was a fashionable phrase at that time, a comrade-in-arms in the trenches. Work in the fields together, meet together to study work. He is two years younger than Liu Hong, he calls her Sister Hong, and helps her carry water to boil the kang... It also helps her block the attacks of those who pursue it. He helped her a lot, but she thought it was natural.

Because Liu Hong has always put herself in the position of the eldest sister, she feels sluggish. Later, she also connected him with an educated youth who was one year younger than herself...... It wasn't until years later that she realized that the giving between the sexes was not simple. It's just his own sluggishness, or he just doesn't have a relationship with him.

"Liu Hong, why are you still alone?

"Well, it was a mistake, it was the eldest sister who came to deliver the meal, but I thought it was my husband who would ask for leave to come, and my mother and they were also because of the in-laws' family would come, but no one came. Yuxia, it's good that you're here. I also begged your aunt to help me go to the toilet, I have been holding back for a long time. Instead of crying like she did fifty years ago, she smiled lightly to resolve the embarrassment and loss.

"What's polite, don't say you're Yuxia's friend, it's not a big deal for a patient to go to the toilet. Oh, by the way, I'm Yuxia's second aunt, so you can call your second aunt too. The middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Thank you, second aunt. ”

"Thank you, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Yuxia's life is not good, you two will be good in the future. ”

"Okay, second aunt. Yuxia is more assertive than me, and she is a middle school teacher, and I remember that she seems to be in... Look at my memory, after listening to it last night, I just can't remember it. ”

"Twenty in the suburbs. The second aunt said quickly.

"Twenty, this time I can remember. ”

After going to the toilet, they chatted a few more words, and it was almost noon. Liu Hong was not very hungry, so she walked slowly against the wall. Fifty years ago, she was very aggrieved and secretly cried for almost a day. The reborn Liu Hong will no longer shed tears casually. They haven't changed in fifty years, but Liu Hong has changed.

I walked casually and walked to the nurse's rest room, at that time, it was not like many years later, the hospital had a nurse's station, and the nurses were in the room next to or opposite the doctor's office. Liu Hong knocked on the door a few times and walked in and asked.

"Nurse, I heard that you also have a belly belt here, I don't know if it's free or charged. ”

"How do you know that?" asked one nurse.

"She is a relative of Dr. Chen, who was on duty last night. Another nurse said hurriedly.

"Oh, no wonder. We have this, which was originally charged, and it is not within the scope of medical expense reimbursement. You are a relative of Dr. Chen, so it's a different matter, so I'll give you one for free. The nurse said very reasonably.

"Don't mind, the hospital has hospital rules. I can't embarrass Dr. Chen because of this matter. You can charge as much as you want, I'll buy two and keep the washing. ”

"Patient, you're such a nice person, this kind of thing is often the hardest thing for us. Sell you one, and the other will be given to you by us. Long live understanding. ”

"Okay, that's it, long live understanding, don't talk to Dr. Chen about it. I've caused a lot of trouble for others. ”

"Well, that's a secret between us. The two nurses also said a little more relaxed.

After spending the money of a belly band, she took two belly belts wrapped in newspaper to Yuxia's hospital room. Before I walked in, I heard the conversation between Yuxia and the second aunt.

"Yuxia, you have thought about it, to be a woman who is unmarried and has children, how much gossip you have to endure, and the spitting stars can drown you. ”

"Second aunt, didn't I come to your side to be hospitalized and give birth. After giving birth, you can help me take the child first, and when I find a new school, I will take the child over and raise it myself. said to the outside world that the child's father was dead. ”

"Yuxia, why are you so troubled. You're still so young, it's not hard to find another partner. ”

"Second aunt, I haven't considered this for the time being. I want to raise the child myself, and he will be reborn in my womb, this is fate. ”

"Alas, it's a bad fate. ”

Someone over there came back from buying food, and Liu Hong had no choice but to walk into Yuxia's ward and quietly hand over the abdominal belt to her. When I went back to my bed and lay down again, I couldn't help but think that I had changed a little, but I knew a lot of things.

At that time, no one told her about the abdominal band, but when she returned to kindergarten after maternity leave, she heard others say that every hospital has an abdominal belt, but at that time there was no postpartum systematic recovery training, and no one paid attention to this matter. But Liu Hong is sure that her brother's object Yanzi must know, and her cousin-in-law must not want to have more such mouths, but it is conceivable that Yanzi, her future sister-in-law, only uses Liu Hong as a bargaining chip to curry favor with her brother. How ridiculous it was to think of Liu Hong's gratitude to her at that time. In fact, there is no her, as long as the money is spent, no one can refuse multiple people in the ward. And it's a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, so this back door is completely unnecessary. As for Yuxia, Liu Hong has never seen her since she was discharged from the hospital, and she doesn't know anything about her.

Shortly after noon, Ye Gang returned, this time with rice, light stir-fries and a bowl of chicken soup. He didn't leave the hospital at all that day, which Liu Hong didn't know until a long time later. But now she already knows.

"Ye Gang, didn't you leave at all? Liu Hong asked with a smile.

"Liu Hong, I found that giving birth to a child makes you smarter. He replied with a smile.

"That's, I thought on my stomach, you didn't go home and come back. I guess I bought them from a restaurant next to the hospital. ”

"Yes, I always stay here with you, I'm afraid that I will ask others to gossip, I thought that someone would come to accompany you and I would go home, but I didn't expect that I sat in the corridor of the hospital for a long time and didn't see Cheng Qing's eldest sister, nor did I see Cheng Qing. Then I went to the restaurant and bought you food. ”

"Oh, isn't this just delaying each other. My eldest sister is busy with me every day after the night shift, and she has just been dealt with a target, so she must have failed to deliver food due to some unexpected situation over there. The mother-in-law was busy doing business, and Cheng Qing was a calculating person, so she must have felt that the total was only given three days off, and it would be more cost-effective to rest tomorrow. You also know that my mother and the people of Lao Cheng's family are not on the right track, thinking that they are reluctant to come over if they are there. It's all in one place, and I'm out of luck. ”

"Okay, don't explain, this explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is a weakness. Let's eat. I've called my mom's office, and she might be able to come and see you in the evening. ”

"You, at night, what are you doing asking your aunt to run to the hospital. ”

"It's okay, my dad usually cooks in our house. Chicken broth is served hot. Ye Gang said with concern. ”

It's messy, Liu Hong doesn't remember the conversation very clearly, but it's definitely not like this. At that time, she also explained, but she was not so calm, it was full of grievances, and it was fake when she heard it.

A day passed like that. It was about the time when the ward was about to close and no visitors were allowed, when the eldest sister and mother-in-law came to the hospital to see Liu Hong.

"Hong, mom is really busy during the day, Cheng Qing called your sister's unit, and your sister originally wanted to come over during the day. It's just that her target's family has something to do temporarily, so it's delayed. ”

"Liu Hong, you're not hungry, your mother is here to accompany you during the day. The eldest sister and mother-in-law said the same thing as back then, but Liu Hong would no longer be as good as she was back then.

"Mom, sister, you're all busy, I'm a big idler, it doesn't matter if I'm hungry for one or two meals. I understand that others may not understand. My mom stayed with me last night and came back to stay with me for a day without resting. I'm your daughter-in-law, and I don't want to say anything more. Other patients thought that I didn't have my mother-in-law's family, and they were all accompanied by my mother's family. ”

"Hong, you're angry with your mother, I can't communicate with your mother, your mother's temper is too impatient, and she loves to scold. You said that our in-laws quarreled when they met, didn't it make you embarrassed. ”

"Mother-in-law, my mother's temper is not good, but it is also for her daughter not to be bullied. You're also my sister's mother, wouldn't you be angry if you met what I went through. She said politely. The maintenance of her mother's Liu Hong didn't understand at that time, but she didn't know that she was also blocking herself. Now she won't, what she should say is to dare to say it, and she can say it when she should lie.

"Red, you're right, you should be angry. This hospital is too far away from home, so why don't you just be discharged, no one at home has to ask for leave, and take turns to cook for you. ”

"Mom, you have to listen to the doctor for this, doesn't Cheng Qing have three days of nursing leave. If nothing happens, I'll be discharged in a few days. "Joke, discharged from the hospital? why, three days is the emotion that Cheng Qing should give, to his wife and daughter. Liu Hong thought secretly in her heart.

"Mom, just listen to Liu Hong, three days later, the doctor won't let me be discharged, so I will continue to deliver food to the hospital. "The eldest sister didn't persuade like she did back then, and she didn't help her mother speak. Yes, that's how it should be, being too virtuous is a sign of cowardice. If you take one step back, others will take two steps forward, and virtue is not a condition for gaining respect, but only a reason for others to bully you.

"Mom, go back, I have a shift with others, tomorrow I will work a day shift and work overnight, and Cheng Qing will be able to come to the hospital tomorrow." The eldest sister said. It's the same as it was back then.

After her mother-in-law left, the eldest sister said to Liu Hong very mysteriously that Cheng Qing cried excitedly after getting off work.

She believed it at that time, and he was excited because he became a father. But that's not the way it was interpreted. Liu Hong hopes to live again, and will not give him a chance to interpret it again.
