Chapter 23: Li He 2

"In 2004, after the old man passed away, I planned to continue to go to the construction site to move bricks to earn more money and secretly help Fei Song pay off some debts. Because in the two years when the three brothers pooled money to treat the old man's 'esophageal cancer', Fei Song's old accounts were not paid off, and new accounts were piled up. ”

"But who would have thought that I would faint on the construction site! Don't look at me when I was 60 years old, but my body is very good - my eyes are not dazzling, my ears are not deaf, my muscles and bones are strong, and my teeth are good. Although there are occasional small problems such as chest tightness, palpitation, and panting, who cares about it if you don't block eating or drinking. ”

As a result, he was sent to the hospital for an examination, and said that coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, cholecystitis and other messy diseases were mixed together. It is necessary to undergo surgery to remove the stent, and to take medicine for a long time, so I can no longer do heavy work. ”

"These doctors always make the condition more serious and fool people into hospitalization. I just fainted for a short while, I had woken up before the ambulance came, it wouldn't be that serious, I thought. ”

"I didn't ask the doctor to inform my children, they were all not easy, especially Fessson, it was even more difficult, and I couldn't burden them anymore."

"Two days after the infusion, I felt better and told the doctor that I was going to be discharged from the hospital and go back to my hometown for surgery. I said this, but what I wanted in my heart was to give up treatment, I was not as afraid of death as the old man, and I was terminally ill and wanted to continue to spend money on treatment to increase the pressure on the children. ”

"At that time, my attending doctor was called Xue Shan, and he was a warm-hearted young man. After a heart-to-heart conversation with me, he probably understood my thoughts. Before I was discharged from the hospital, he prescribed a prescription and left a business card, asking me to call him directly if I felt unwell. ”

"He said, my prescription is full of cheap medicines, don't buy it in the hospital, go back to the pharmacy in your hometown to buy it. If there is any adverse reaction or the condition is aggravated, call me at any time, and I can change the prescription at any time. ”

"It's really good, I took the prescription back to my hometown to buy the medicine, and after totaling it, the cost of the medicine was less than 100 yuan per month, and the effect was quite good after taking it."

"I couldn't move bricks on the construction site, so I went back to my hometown to resume my old business, farming and raising a few sheep at the same time. Solve your own food and clothing, and by the way, earn another medicine money, catch up with the market, and still have some surplus, and pay off a little for Fei Song. ”

"But in the last two years, it has not worked, although Xue Shan has transferred the formula to me several times, and I have given up the work of raising sheep, but it has not improved much. Chest tightness, palpitation, and panting became more and more frequent, and later the chest tightness turned into chest pain. ”

"I can't help Fei Song a lot, do some small work for him that has practical help, and let's talk about my guilt as a mother!"

During the period of making shoes, Li He always recalled, reflected, guilty, and blamed himself repeatedly. I often cry while thinking about it, on the soles of my shoes, on the uppers of my shoes, I don't know how many tears I have.

As he gets older, his eyes are getting worse and worse, and he often panics and his hands tremble, and he hasn't finished 6 pairs of shoes for more than half a year, so he wants to sew a few stitches when he has time.

Coincidentally, when she heard Chen Lu shouting, she was closing the door of the inner room, sewing the soles of her shoes, shedding tears, and her chest pain was recurring.

She didn't want her juniors to see her tears, and she didn't want them to know about her condition, so she didn't open the door a few minutes late.

She needs to clean up her tears and take a heart-saving pill to relieve her chest pain.

"Oh, my Lulu, I'm really embarrassed, when I came to visit my grandmother on the second day of the wedding, my grandmother asked you to sit on the cold bench and wait for a while~" After Li He came out, he endured the chest pain that had not yet been relieved, and told Chen Lu jokes unhurriedly.

"It's okay grandma!" After Chen Lu and Fei Guang passed through the wall and kissed, they were in a much better mood, and called grandma affectionately.

"When I was just packing up your grandfather's relics in the back room, I chattered about his old photos for a while, and by the way, I reported to him that we added a granddaughter-in-law, so that he would be happy and happy!"

"I'm getting bad luck on my body, I have to change my clothes and come out to receive Lulu again!"

"Don't let bad luck rush our Lulu's joy!"

Li He told a lie she had concocted during her chest pain relief to explain her neglect.

"Grandpa is no one else, where can it be considered bad luck, grandma is too worried!" Chen Lu responded heartily.

"Has Lulu eaten?" After Li He finished explaining, after sitting next to Chen Lu, he enthusiastically said this basic greeting between rural people.

"No, Grandma!"

"Eating at the same table with that little old woman, I'm so full of anger that I can't eat!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of her grandmother Li He, Chen Lu decided not to be polite anymore and bluntly told her true situation.

"Okay, grandma will cook for you!" Hearing this, Li He, who had just sat on the bench, understood the general situation, she quickly stood up again, and asked Fei Guang by the way, "Guangzi, have you eaten?"

"After drinking two mouthfuls of rice soup, if grandma wants to make it, I'll eat some more!" In Fei Guang's eyes, grandma is a closer existence than her mother, so of course she will not be polite.

"Uh-huh! Then you take Lulu to the back room to watch TV for a while, and I'll make you something delicious. ”

"Lulu, let's go to the back room with Hiroko first. My pot is not very smooth, every time I cook on the fire, the whole outhouse is like a cloud, smoke and choking. ”

Li He first instructed Fei Guang, and then explained to Chen Lu.

"It's okay grandma, and I'm not a squeamish little girl, I'm not afraid of smoke or choking!" Chen Lu didn't want the old lady to think that she was too squeamish, so she said.

"It's not that you're squeamish, Lulu, you and Hiroko are both new clothes, and it's hard to wash them if they're dirty from this smoke."

"Go on, go to the back room, grandma doesn't think you're squeamish!"

Li He understood what Chen Lu meant and gave such a response.

"Let's go, start a fire, this outhouse does have a bit of smoke!" Fei Guang responded to his grandmother's wishes, and as he spoke, he pulled Chen Lu up from the bench.

"Okay—" Chen Lu reluctantly agreed.

"When you enter the inner room, use the 'top door pole' to press against the door from the inside!"

"I'm a broken door, if I don't resist it, it will automatically open halfway, and the smoke will still run in."

When the two were about to enter the back room, Li He shouted at them while looking for an apron on the clothesline in the courtyard.

"Yes, Grandma!" Fei Guang raised his voice and replied to Li He.

"There are biscuits, egg yolk pies in the house, and boiling water in the thermos, so you two will pad your stomachs first."

"I kill a chicken and make a 'local chicken noodle', it may take more than an hour!"

Li He got the apron, walked quickly to the door of the outer room, lowered his voice and said two serious sentences.

Li He's two serious sentences, coupled with the "top door bar" top door she just mentioned, actually made Chen Lu have an improper reverie......

Of course, reverie is also considered "thinking", and thinking must be done!

Therefore, later, the two "composed" a short "love story" in the inner room of their grandmother Li He.

The loud volume of the TV was fortunate to be the background song during the "composing" period.

……

"Chicken noodles" are an excellent delicacy in the eyes of rural people in the north. Fresh chicken is mixed with authentic sweet potato flour, seasoning, fine salt, and then kneaded with two egg yolks, then poured into the pot and fried until browned. Next, the soup is boiled in the pot of fried chicken, the following slices, the noodle soup is rolled one wave, the fried chicken is added, and then two waves are rolled, sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, and the deliciousness is ready.

The chicken smells fragrant, bites crunchy, and tastes refreshing but not greasy; The chopstick-length dough sheet is thick, slippery, and chewy; The noodle soup was neither too clear nor too strong, just delicious.

A bite of chicken, a bite of noodles, and a mouthful of noodle soup, it's really delicious, flavorful, and relishing!

I hadn't eaten this kind of taste for a few days, so after grandma cooked and called the two out of the inner room, Chen Lu buried her head in eating it. Reserved and put down, politely abandoned, didn't say much, and his expression was not rich, just bury his head in eating, and eat it was called a "sour".

"Grandma, give me some more vinegar!" Halfway through the bowl, she spoke.

"A bowl of noodles, you've already added a lot of vinegar, do you want it?" Fei Guang rushed to ask questions before his grandmother Li He.

"I really want to eat sour in the past two days, just a little bit, but it's not enjoyable!" Chen Lu said, took the vinegar pot handed over by her grandmother Li He, and added some to her bowl.

"This ...... It's a little too sour, isn't it?" When Chen Lu added vinegar to the bowl, Fei Guang could feel the sourness just by looking at it from a distance, and couldn't help but ask.

"Sour ......" grandma Li He said a word, and then stopped, thinking of "sour and spicy girls" in her mind.

"Pregnant? This began to react, I'm afraid I got pregnant when I was working in Guangzhou. Hiroko is so honest and dutiful, did she dare to live with Lulu at that time?"

"Can't be ......"

After thinking about it for a short time in Li He's heart, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly adjusted himself to pick up Chen Lu's words, "I like to eat sour, there are still some capers in the jar, I'll go and pull half a bowl out for you!" ”

"Well, thank you my good grandma!" Chen Lu said with a smile.

"I don't want to say thank you to grandma."

"If you don't dislike the old woman, and you are willing to eat a bite of what I made, I will be very happy."

"Don't say thank you again, a word of thank you will thank you far away!"

Li He said while going to get a new bowl of capers.

"Okay, grandma, don't say thank you!" Chen Lu said, handing her grandmother Li He an affirmative and respectful look.

"It's not enough not to say thank you, if you need grandma's help in the future, you must speak."

"If Hiroko is not at home when he goes out to work, if you have something wrong or feel unwell, you have to tell grandma!"

After Li He put the capers on the small table in front of Chen Lu, he muttered a few more words.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Lu nodded in agreement.

"Then you eat first, I'll go feed the chickens, I haven't ...... in the morning Feed! After Li He finished speaking, he picked up the grain and walked out of the house.

Li He lied again, in fact, the nest of chickens had been fed early in the morning, and the reason why he had to find a reason to come out was that he was afraid that if he stayed in the house any longer, he would reveal his stuffing.

After half a day of tossing, probably the effect of the heart-saving pill has passed, and she began to have chest pain again, and she still felt like she was going to retch.

"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Fei Guang heard his grandmother say "no...... Hey" was a little intermittent when he followed to the chicken coop, and saw that Li He was nauseous, and hurriedly asked.

"It's out of the way, my old stomach is sick...... You know, it's kind of disgusting! Li He finished speaking slowly, giving Fei Guang a loving look.

"Oh-" Fei Guang knew that his grandmother's old stomach problem was fine, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went back to the house to continue to eat with Chen Lu.
