Chapter 036: Xiujuan is sick
Xiujuan was sick and hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, and Shengyang asked for leave to accompany her. The first person she asked for help when she was in pain was Shengyang, and after staying for a day, Xiujuan was about to be discharged from the hospital, but Shengyang refused to let her.
"It's okay if I don't leave the hospital, you can go to work, it's already much better." Xiujuan can take care of herself in life and doesn't want to delay his money-making time.
"Sister, your health is important, so let's do it, I'll take care of you for two more days, and I'll go to work the day after tomorrow." Shengyang is not at ease, they are all strangers, and it is appropriate to help each other.
"Then I'll take a nap now, and you can come back after work, okay? There are nurses in the hospital and I will take care of myself. Xiujuan looked at him seriously, and it was difficult to refuse. Shengyang has finished seeing the injection, the examination has been completed, and there is nothing else that needs help, so he agrees with her.
"Then I'll bring you porridge in the afternoon, and you can rest first." Shengyang put the hot water and medicine on the table, and he could drink it casually. Xiujuan closed her eyes and waited for him to leave before she opened them, and in the past six months, his selfless help made her want to escape.
Back at the construction site, Wang Cheng told Shengyang that the workers were talking about him and Xiujuan behind his back. Shengyang was scared at first, but now he has figured it out, he is walking right, and there is nothing to think about. Wang Cheng was just afraid that he would be hurt, and people with physical disabilities were often more fragile in their hearts. "Shengyang, you can't keep paying like this, delaying your youth."
"Brother Cheng, my youth is worth a few dollars, and she has helped me a lot, at least making me more confident and free. I know what you mean, but I really don't have any other ideas, and when she gets married and someone takes care of her, I can let it go. Xiujuan also told him very clearly, he didn't want to be misunderstood.
"I may be more direct, but it's all for your own good, and I have more room for myself in everything, so that it won't be so painful when the time comes. If you want to find a partner, I'll have someone introduce you to Hongxiang, and it's convenient to have closer relatives. β
"I'm not old yet, so I'm not in a hurry, and I'll wait until Shengli graduates from university to get married at the earliest. She is the only hope for our family, and I can't hold back and support her with all my might. "He is good to Xiujuan, purely to return the favor, even if others misunderstand, just understand it in his heart.
"When she graduates, there are still seven years, when you are almost 30, good girls will be missed by you, and you can still make money for her to study after you get married, this is not a conflict."
"You know that my eldest mother doesn't approve of girls studying in the first place, and if her future daughter-in-law doesn't approve of it either, then Shengli's book will not be at ease. Of course, if there is a girl who is willing to accept me now and support my ideas, it is okay to do it early, but I am afraid that such a girl will not be met. Shengyang knows that most of the girls nowadays are very realistic, and his family is the biggest obstacle.
"But you are so close to Xiujuan now, even if a girl likes you, she will have other ideas, so pay attention to the influence." He hoped that they would succeed, but both of them were family pillars, and they were in a different place, so even if they broke through many obstacles, life would be very tiring.
"Sometimes I also have the naΓ―ve fantasy that there will always be a girl who will take a fancy to me, because the old man will pull the strings for every couple of men and women. But it turned out that at most it was only sympathetic glances, and how could there be so many single girls on the construction site to know. β
"People like Katsuo can marry a wife, you don't have to feel inferior, you're right, Yue Lao will match you." Wang Cheng won't comfort people, he just hopes that he can live well.
"Don't underestimate my brother, when I was a child, I was at my grandfather's house, and he saw me pitiful, so he asked Mr. Liu for fortune telling, and the result was that my brother had the best life in his life, with no worries about food and clothing, and a full house of children and grandchildren."
"Then he is really a fool and a fool, but a person's life is very long, and the future is changing, no one can say. As long as the family is safe, it is enough to have food and clothing. β
"I think so too." It's just that Yanagi said that he was ill-fated, entangled in right and wrong, and lonely for life; Sheng Licheng also has a character, and defeat is also a character; said that the name of Shengnan did not come out, and "Tian" and "Li" were destined to only deal with the field for the rest of their lives.
However, I have recently learned to read books and understand a little, their brother and sister's character is destined to fate, there is no need to count it at all, but there are still many miraculous explanations, I don't know if it is Liu Sheng's pretense or it will really be realized, just wait for time to verify. I remember that after my grandfather heard this, he was depressed for several days, and he often looked at my grandfather shaking his head, not knowing why. Wang Chengcheng, who is illiterate in Liandou, thinks that fate needs to be controlled by himself, and he can't be so passive and attribute the injustice to fate.
When she returned to the hospital in the evening, Xiujuan saw that it was gnocchi instead of porridge, so she asked Seungyang why he had changed his mind. Shengyang said that this is called mixed soup, in his hometown legend a bowl of mixed soup half of the country, Xiujuan saw that it was the most ordinary pasta, she tasted it for the first time, it was really delicious. Shengyang said with a smile that when Li Zicheng went to Chongqing and passed through the foot of Qinglong Mountain, he passed by a peasant household and saw them eating mixed soup with relish. The common people were afraid of the army, so they kowtowed again and again, saying that their family could only eat like this, and there was no food to supply.
Li Zicheng walked over, helped them up, and asked the soldiers to take out a bag of flour they carried, saying that it would be good to exchange a bag of noodles for a bowl of mixed soup. The old peasant saw that the commander had no malicious intent, and then looked at the soldiers, all of them were yellow and thin, and they were all pitiful, so he boldly said, I won't change half of the country, but I can provide you with a meal for free, and you can be full. Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh that in the eyes of the common people, food and clothing are the highest desire and belief compared with the country.
Afterwards, some people said that the old farmer was stupid, and he didn't know how many bowls of soup to make for a bag of flour, but he didn't change it, and the old farmer ignored it; Some people say that in fact, the old farmer is a wise person, and since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and the old farmer also did not say anything. Over time, it became "a bowl of mixed soup and half of the country", thinking that Li Zicheng wanted to take half of the country for a bowl of mixed soup, which is to spread more words and spread the fruit to become less (mo), which also shows that the mixed soup is popular.
"What I made for you was just some green vegetables, and we usually put some sauerkraut and sour chili peppers there, which tasted sour and delicious, and almost everyone loved it."
"We all eat rice, we can't make pasta, can I learn this?"
"Yes, this is the simplest type of pasta, and the main thing is to have sauerkraut." Xiujuan saw him talking about this with his eyebrows fluttering, very cute, and liked this kind of Shengyang in her heart.
After Xiujuan finished the soup, she asked Shengyang to go back to the dormitory to rest, and Shengyang said that she would wait until she fell asleep before leaving. Xiujuan felt a little reluctant in her heart, feeling that she owed him too much favor. "Shengyang, listen to my sister, go back to the dormitory."
"Then you go to sleep."
"Tell me more stories about your mountains, after sleeping for so long during the day, it's hard to fall asleep for a while." Xiujuan was suddenly a little reluctant, she was in a foreign land, who would understand their loneliness.
"Okay, do you want to hear ghost stories or mythological stories."
"Just talk about yourself."
"I don't have much to tell a story other than my broken eyes due to illness." Xiujuan saw that he didn't want to speak, so she didn't force it, everyone has a time when they are vulnerable.
"Do you have a mountain song there?"
"There are a lot of them, but I can't sing well."
"It's okay, time flies faster this way." On such a night, in such a city of Hangzhou, they are just outsiders who come to make a living, looking at the happy expressions of others, and they don't know what the source of happiness is. She has been consuming Shengyang's emotions for her, and even has developed infinite dependence.
