It was a middle-aged woman's voice, one after another, calling without stopping, the voice was sharp and anxious, like a magic sound into the brain, Shen Mengxi couldn't help but be irritable, only felt itchy all over his body, wanted to scratch, wanted to cry, wanted to burst.

"Fish tank! Fish tank! The voice continues.

"Oh mom, it's going to start again, what's going on? Shout for one hour in the morning, noon and evening! A woman nearby said helplessly.

"It's been four days! It seems that if Yu Gang doesn't wake up, or doesn't die, his daughter-in-law will have to keep shouting. A young man said.

"Tsk, you kid, how are you talking! What a death can't be done! "It's an older voice.

"Fish tank! Fish tank! Fish tank! ”

Shen Mengxi finally opened his eyes, and what he saw was a somewhat yellowed wall, waist-high with blue wall enclosures, a room full of people, some wearing blue and white striped hospital gowns, lying on the bed, this was a multi-person ward.

She touched her waist, and it was a hot water bottle with a towel wrapped in it.

And the magic sound came from next door, but it seemed to be in her ears, it should be the opposite bed just across the wall from her.

"Oops! Aunt Lu! Your girl's eyes are open! A voice that was sharper than the "fish tank" scared Shen Mengxi.

"Be quiet, look at the scared people and children!" Shen Mengxi turned his eyes and saw a kind old lady who gently patted the little girl beside her.

Immediately after that, a person rushed over, picked her up, and hugged her tightly in his arms. Shen Mengxi seemed to have not been embraced like this for a hundred years, and he was a little moved. She smelled the woman's scent, some familiar, some unfamiliar, some warm.

Immediately pushed away again, the woman held her face and asked repeatedly, "Zhuzhu, where is the discomfort?" Tell Mom, where is it uncomfortable? ”

Shen Mengxi shook his head in her hand.

"Alas!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief, took her into her arms again, and muttered complainingly and happily, "You're scared me to death!" You're scared the hell out of me. ”

"It's okay when you wake up! I'm going to get you a doctor!" The shrill voice ran out, but before it reached the door, it groaned and came back, "Look at my memory! At this point, Dr. Ma hasn't come to work yet! ”

Before the words fell, the door of the ward was pushed open with a hula, and a large number of people came in, led by Old Man Qi, who found his granddaughter in a room of people at a glance and walked towards the hospital bed.

"Dad, why are you still here, how slippery it is outside!" Lu Xiuzhi hurriedly got up and asked her father-in-law to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Why do you still have a rash? Fourth, didn't you say that the child was okay? Old man Qi looked at his granddaughter and turned around and glared at his son unhappily.

"Master, that's good, yesterday was even more scary than this!" Qi security guards squeezed in and said.

"Discharge from the hospital if it's okay! It's too noisy! Old man Qi was also upset by the "fish tank" next door. stroked a handful of his granddaughter's yellow hair, "You give the child more good food!" ”

Lu Xiuzhi defended aggrievedly, "She doesn't like to eat anything, and I can't do it!" ”

Old man Qi snorted, looked at his son, and said solemnly: "The talented son of the Qing Dynasty is expensive, and the family is rich and delicate." How much money does your family have? Raise a child so delicate! Eat more coarse grains and go out for a run more, isn't it better than holding it in your arms all day long? ”

Lu Xiuzhi's face was flushed, and everyone in the ward looked at her. She opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything.

"Zhuzhu, listen to the master, let's eat well when we are sick, and we are not picky eaters! We are white and fat, and we can save two colds and diarrhea in three days! The old man turned his face and said to his granddaughter with a kind eyebrow.

Shen Mengxi lowered his eyes and nodded, no one looked at him.

"Don't let your child sit, lie down first! Don't pestle a few of you, go through the discharge procedures! That little who! Bring the rice to your sister! "The old man made the family go around. The other few in the ward were silent, and watched in awe as the old man played with awe.

Only the sound of "fish tank, fish tank" next door does not stop, tacitly with the old man's angry roar.

Shen Mengxi barely ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and ate an egg white, and he was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep uncontrollably, even though there was an annoying call from the "fish tank" in his ears.

Before going to bed, I thought, God, let that fish tank wake up quickly.

******

Shen Mengxi woke up again and found himself sleeping on a hot kang, his back and buttocks burned comfortably.

She sighed lightly, turned her belly over, and reached out to touch the somewhat hot fiberboard painted blue, the fiberboard on the side of the kang head was a little burnt yellow, and a little bulging, thinking that it was deformed by the heat.

The window panes were covered with frost, and it was impossible to see the outside.

Her limbs were sore and weak, and the clothes on her body smelled of sweat, and she didn't know how many times she had sweated. She reached out and wiped her forehead, which was covered with cool beads of sweat, and she rolled over again and rested on the pillow.

The room was very warm, it was a south-facing room, there was a high and low cabinet on the ground, there was a sewing machine, and there was a kang qin on the kang, which made Shen Mengxi feel very cordial, and squinted at a few hundred flowers on the door of the kang qin cabinet with great interest.

Thinking of something, he raised his hand again, turning it over and over, this hand is too small, and it seems that it has to grow up slowly.

A sense of security that she hadn't felt in a long time surrounded Shen Mengxi, and she snorted in satisfaction, spreading out her limbs and lying on the kang.

An old cat tiptoed over, the cat bent down, stretched its neck and stared at Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi was keenly aware of this unkind gaze, and she was taken aback. I think the cat's eyes are full of hostility, it seems... See through what. She didn't move, just stared at the cat's eyes, the cat suddenly panicked, wanted to jump off the kang, seemed to be unwilling, and hurriedly meowed and pounced, Shen Mengxi also sat up suddenly, a baton hit the waist of the civet cat, the old cat screamed and fell to the brick floor, paws scratched and climbed up, making a piercing friction sound, rushed out of the house, footsteps came from the kitchen, Shen Mengxi quickly put away the baton, lying on the mattress.

"Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you?" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy came in.

"Third brother, that cat scratches me!" Shen Mengxi raised his arm and said.

"This dead cat, I usually love to rely on you the most, why do I still scratch you today! Wait a minute, brother will beat it up for you! The third brother Qi Baoping coaxed his sister and said.

Shen Mengxi snorted and fell down again.

"It's hot on the kang, isn't it? You sleep for a while, and our aunt will make you something to eat. Qi Baoping pulled up the quilt for her and went out.

Shen Mengxi couldn't sleep, got off the kang, and saw a solar calendar card hanging on the wall next to the door, the date was January 22, 1984, the twentieth day of the lunar month, Sunday.

Shen Mengxi sighed softly without knowing whether he was happy or worried.

This child's name is Qi Baozhu, born in seven or eight years, seven years old, and there is basically nothing in his mind except for injections and medicines. She knew that her father's name was Qi Youheng and he worked in the Public Security Bureau. Her mother's name is Lu Xiuzhi, and she works in a grocery store. The eldest brother is called Qi Baoguo, the second brother Qi Baojia, the third Qi Baoping, and the fourth brother Qi Baoguo. The eldest brother has not visited relatives for two years after joining the army, the second, third, and fourth brothers all go to school, and she goes to the red class by herself.

I know the names of my grandparents, and I know that my grandmother has been dead for four years. The rest of the many cousins, cousins, nephews, nieces and nephews can't remember exactly.

She can't think too much anymore, her biggest worry is that she always goes to the hospital, and she is most afraid of Dr. Ma and Nurse Wang in the county hospital.
