The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2
As soon as Yuxiu got home, her parents asked her what was going on with Zhang Jinrui and Chen Jie's fight. Yuxiu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", told them what happened. But before she could get out of the village, some cousins and acquaintances who had a good relationship kept greeting her, caring about and asking about the fight between Chen Jie and Zhang Jinrui. Some people also intentionally or unintentionally pulled her and Chen Jie together, so that she couldn't explain it. finally got rid of the villagers, but on the way to Team Nine, they encountered Taoyun and Xiuli. They asked more detailed and detailed questions, and they also pulled Chen Jie and her together stiffly, making her almost lose her temper.
Therefore, as soon as she saw Chen Jie in the evening, Yuxiu said angrily, "The matter between me and Zhang Jinrui was originally just a matter of the two of us, but as soon as you participated, the entire Chaling Brigade knew about it." Don't worry about my affairs in the future, lest you trouble me. Because she doesn't want others to say that she is Chen Jie's sister-in-law.
Chen Jie wanted to do her a favor, but she didn't expect to make her so annoyed and angry, and she kept complaining about him, so she blocked her breath and said, "Okay, in the future, your house will catch fire, and I won't care." ”
Yuxiu said, "Don't say that my house is on fire, or that I myself fell into the pond, I won't ask you for help." ”
The two were fighting, when they saw He Shengqiang, a neighbor of Yuxiu's family, suddenly ran into the radio room, panting and saying, "Sister Xiu, it's not good, Feng Lingzi is so sick that she is unconscious." ”
As soon as Yuxiu heard that her brother was seriously ill, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Send it to the commune." ”
He Shengqiang said, "It's being sent to the commune." ”
But Chen Jie said, "Don't send it to the commune, the commune health station lacks medicine and medicine, and you can't see a serious illness, so go and send it to the county hospital." ”
Ke Yuxiu said, "The county hospital is too far, and it will take three or four hours to walk at the earliest, but I am afraid that by then, Feng Yanzi will not be able to do it a long time ago." ”
Chen Jie said, "I called my classmate at the agricultural machinery station and asked him to drive the tractor over. With that, he picked up the phone on the table and began to call the switchboard. As soon as the switchboard heard that it was a life-saving thing, it immediately connected to the commune's agricultural machinery station.
After making the call, Chen Jie asked He Shengqiang to quickly inform the patient to be carried to the road in the back mountain, and then took Yuxiu to trot all the way to a war-ready road in the back mountain. The road is very dark, and it is at least ten miles from the commune's agricultural machinery station to here, and it takes about 20 minutes for the tractor to run fast. They found a place where the tractor could turn around, stopped, and stood on the side of the road waiting.
After a while, six or seven people trotted over with a door panel. When the patient was put down, Yuxiu saw her six- or seven-year-old brother lying on the door panel, breathing weakly and unconscious. She touched her brother's forehead with her hand. The forehead was very hot. She asked her mother sharply, "How did you make Feng Yanzi like this?" ”
My mother had been sobbing all the time, and when she asked sharply, she cried. The father became irritable and yelled at his mother, "Crying, crying? You did a good thing, but I'm afraid that I have wronged you? ”
After a while, the sound of tractors could be heard in the night sky, and the lights in the distance were getting closer and closer. When the tractor drove over, Chen Jie waved his hand to turn the tractor around. As soon as the tractor stopped, Yuxiu and her parents were scrambling to get into the car. But only two people can sit in the cab. Chen Jie said loudly to Yuxiu, "Your mother and I will take the child to the hospital, and you will all go back and wait." With that, he picked up the child and went to the cab, pulled Yuxiu's mother into the car, and then let the driver drive.
Yuxiu saw that the tractor was moving, so she chased after Chen Jie and said, "I'm waiting for your call?" Chen Jie said, "I know." ”
The tractor drove away. Yuxiu asked her father to go home with everyone. But my father was not at ease and refused to go home. Yuxiu had no choice but to let her father sleep in Secretary Shui's house next door at night.
Back in the radio room, Yuxiu sat by the telephone, reading a book and waiting worriedly. Again and again, her father would come up to her and ask, "Why don't you get a phone yet?" ”
She said, "I'm afraid the hospital is rescuing." ”
The clock passed eleven o'clock, and then it was one o'clock, and then two o'clock, but the phone never rang.
My father couldn't stand it and cried, "Why haven't you had a call yet?" ”
Yuxiu comforted her father and said, "I'm afraid it's still rescued, if Feng Yanzi didn't work, Chen Jie would have called a long time ago." So saying, he told his father to sleep. I turned on the light, lay in bed, and waited for the call. It wasn't until almost dawn that the phone rang suddenly, and she hurriedly got up to answer the phone, "How is my brother?" ”
Chen Jie said, "Your brother has acute sepsis, it's so serious, the doctor has been rescuing, and he has just woken up, but he hasn't been out of danger yet." ”
Yuxiu said, "My dad and I rushed over as soon as dawn. ”
Chen Jie said, "Don't come here first, your brother is still in the emergency room, and the doctor only let your mother guard you, and no one else will be allowed to enter." As he was talking, for some reason, the phone suddenly hung up.
Yuxiu heard her father knocking on the door, so she opened the door to let her father come in, and told Chen Jie's phone number. My father rubbed his hands together and said, "Your mother only brought fifty yuan, I don't know if it's enough?" ”
Yuxiu was annoyed and said, "You guys are ridiculous, can you do it for fifty yuan?" I'm afraid to go to the store and buy a dress? ”
The father said, "Why don't you borrow some more money and I'll send it over?" ”
Yuxiu thought for a while and said, "Let's let Chen Jie find a way." ”
Chen Jie never had to call again, and Yuxiu didn't know what her brother's condition was, but she thought that since Chen Jie didn't call, at least it meant that her brother was no longer in danger. She wanted to take time to go to the hospital, but she was so busy for several days that she not only had to count the progress of the spring plowing and spring planting of each team, but also summarized and reported the progress of the work of each team and the situation that occurred. When I finished all this work, I heard that my brother had been discharged from the hospital.
When she heard the news, she hurried home, and when she arrived at the threshing floor in front of the house, she saw her brother playing with the children. She immediately called out to her brother, who called out to her sister and walked up to her. She hugged her younger brother in her arms, wiped the sweat from his face for him, and said, "Feng Yanzi, you almost scared my sister to death." ”
The younger brother turned his face away from her and didn't let her wipe it, then broke free of her embrace and ran into the house and shouted, "Mom, my sister is back." ”
When Yuxiu entered the hall, she saw her mother as if she was greeting a distinguished guest, and took her hand affectionately and said, "My good sister, if it weren't for you, Sister Feng would not have survived today." ”
But Yuxiu said, "What credit do I have? I didn't move at home, it was all Chen Jie's help. ”
At this time, the younger brother came over with a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She didn't want to eat. But her brother insisted that she open her mouth to eat. She couldn't help it, so she took a small bite gently, but her brother still didn't want to and asked her to eat a lot. Until the whole cake is eaten.
This touched her very much and said, "My sister is so busy that I can't go to the hospital to see you." ”
But the younger brother said, "Mom said, my sister saved my life." ”
Yuxiu said to her younger brother, "Don't talk nonsense, you were saved by Chen Jie's brother." ”
But the younger brother said, "Chen Jie's brother and sister are the same." ”
Yuxiu glared at her younger brother with her eyes and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”
The younger brother couldn't answer, so he turned and ran out.
The mother blamed herself and said, "Feng Yanzi had a pus cell on the side of her mouth, and I squeezed it with my hands, but I didn't expect to cause this big disaster." The mother said, covering her face sadly for a while, and then said, "When I arrived at the county hospital that night, the doctor rescued Feng Yanzi, and it was not until almost dawn that he came out of the emergency room." A doctor came to us and told us that the baby was fortunate to have arrived in time, and that if he had been too late, he would not have been saved. He said that the child has now woken up, but he is still in danger, and asked me to go to the emergency room for care. When it was dawn, Chen Jie came over to bring me breakfast. Seeing that I was not feeling well, he asked his mother to take me home and sleep. Therefore, I was in the hospital during the day for the past few days, and Chen Jie came to replace me in the evening. His mother cooked and delivered food to us every day. It's so good that I can't go. ”
The mother took a sip of water and continued, "Three days before hospitalization, the hospital will notify you of your critical illness once a day. When the third critical illness notice was issued, the doctor said that he had tried all the methods, but he still couldn't cure it. As soon as I heard this, I cried and begged the doctor to think again. The doctor asked me to buy more fruit for the child to eat, saying that if this solution didn't work, then there would be no more way. Hearing what the doctor said, Chen Jie immediately took the train to Changsha, because there was no fruit in the county. In the afternoon, Chen Jie brought back a basket of pears, bananas, and apples from Changsha. Feng Lingzi loves to eat fruits so much, so she keeps eating them, but she doesn't want to, and only two days later, the doctor said that Feng Lingzi is better and can be discharged from the hospital. We couldn't believe it. ”
Speaking of this, the mother took her daughter's hand and said gratefully, "If it weren't for Chen Jie, if we had sent Feng Yanzi to the commune that night, I'm afraid Feng Lingzi would really have died." ”
Yuxiu asked her mother, "How much money did you spend on this hospitalization?" ”
Mother said, "I don't know, it's all the money spent by Chen Jie's family, I only brought 50 yuan, and there are 20 yuan left." ”
Yuxiu said, "What about the documents? ”
The mother asked, "What are the bills?" ”
Yuxiu said, "It's a receipt for medical treatment." ”
The mother shook her head and said, "I don't know, the fees are all paid by Chen Jie." ”
Yuxiu said, "It is estimated that Feng Lingzi will spend at least three or four hundred yuan to see a doctor and buy things. You can borrow 400 yuan, and I will repay Chen Jie. ”
When my mother heard this, she was shocked and said, "How much money do you want?" ”
Yuxiu said, "Last year, my sister spent three hundred yuan in the hospital for five days, and her illness was not as serious as Feng Yanzi. ”
My mother was worried and said, "Who do you want me to borrow this money from?" ”
When my mother came back from a long day away, she said, "I have traveled the whole village, and I have only borrowed 160 yuan." Otherwise, you will tell Chen Jie to wait until the Chinese New Year to pay off the money you owe. ”
Yuxiu looked embarrassed and said, "Let's not talk about people's help, the money owed to others must be repaid." ”
Mother said, "It's okay, I think Chen Jie is very good to you, he won't urge us to pay us back." ”
Yuxiu said, "Chen Jie and I are just ordinary friends, and people help out of kindness. Don't embarrass me. ”
The mother was impatient and said, "It's not good to talk to you, I'll go to Chen Jie and talk." As he spoke, he threw the borrowed money on the small table.
