Xu Wanning took another catty of brown sugar and a catty of red dates, as well as a hen that had already been souped.

The hens she exchanged with others in the village, and they were very fat.

Dongzi's eyes were moist, and he sniffed and said, "Sister-in-law, you brought so many things again, Cuifen and I don't know how to thank you." ”

During this time, Xu Wanning came every once in a while, although he asked him to help a little, but every time he came, he was not empty-handed.

Dongzi wanted to refuse her help, but on the contrary, what she brought was what Cuifen needed, even for the sake of his daughter-in-law and children, he could only accept it cheekily.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Xu Wanning put down the hot water bottle and slowly stood up: "I'll go back first, I asked you to help me inquire about the matter last time, you can serve a snack." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll send you. ”

"No, you can stay at home with Cuifen. Xu Wanning rejected Dongzi's kindness.

She also planned to quietly go to the black market to exchange for some supplies, but she couldn't be discovered.

Xu Wanning was pushing her bicycle and walking in the alley, but she was thinking about canned food in her mind.

In a trance, she seemed to hear someone shouting her name behind her back, and she turned around and saw Dongzi running over panting.

"Sister-in-law, Cuifen she...... She ......"

"Tell me slowly, what the hell happened to Cuifen?"

"She may have had a seizure, what kind of water is broken, there is a lot of water flowing underneath, sister-in-law, you are more experienced, can you help me take care of Cuifen, I will go to the old lady." ”

"What kind of old lady are you looking for!" Xu Wanning got on the bicycle, pedaled quickly, and didn't forget to yell at Dongzi: "Don't hurry up and send it to the hospital, what are you doing in a daze!"

When Xu Wanning rushed back to Xu's house, Cui Fen was wailing in pain on the bed.

Even if she is painless to become a mother, this body still has memories of giving birth, so Xu Wanning can empathize with what kind of pain this is.

"Dongzi, put the cart on the board, you lie down with Cuifen, and I'll clean up my things. ”

"Sister-in-law......" Cuifen's little hand grabbed Xu Wanning's sleeve weakly, her little face was even whiter, and she said weakly: "I'll just give birth at home." ”

"No way!"

"No way!"

Xu Wanning and Dongzi refused at the same time.

Dongzi glanced at Xu Wanning, and then bowed his head and said to Cui Fen: "Daughter-in-law is not afraid, we still have some money in our hands, enough for you to go to the hospital to give birth." Even if it's not enough, it doesn't matter, let's borrow it from my sister-in-law first, and when you are out of confinement, I will go out to find a job, and we will definitely be able to pay back the money. ”

"Don't talk about that at this time. Dongzi, what are you still doing in a daze, go to set up a car!"

"Hey, I'll go!"

Cui Fen was so painful that she couldn't even speak, she could only watch Xu Wanning and Dongzi scurrying around the room, but she was powerless to stop it.

finally sent Cuifen to the hospital, and the doctor's words directly made Dongzi, a seven-foot man, cry silently.

"The fetal position is not correct, and the condition of the mother is also very poor, but fortunately it was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the fetus would be at risk of suffocation. Now let's pay the fee and go through the hospitalization procedures. ”

Xu Wanning saw that Dongzi was leaning against the corner of the wall to hide his face and cry bitterly, so she went to pay the bill herself.

However, two days passed, and Tryfen still failed to give birth to the child.

There were four women in the delivery room, and Cuifen was the loudest crying out in pain.

For two whole days, Dongzi's eye sockets did not dry.

"Who is Zhang Cuifen's family?"

As soon as Xu Wanning came in with a lunch box, she heard the doctor asking.

"Here. Xu Wanning patted Dongzi, "The doctor is looking for you." ”

Half an hour later, Dongzi returned.

But his whole person seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were scattered, and his expression was dull.

Xu Wanning was feeding Cuifen chicken soup, and when she saw Dongzi's appearance, she asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that Cuifen had a difficult birth, and if the child did not come out again, it might suffocate. So, the doctor asked us if we would consider surgery. ”

Caesarean sections are available, but few choose to do them, and there are more failures than successes.

When Cui Fen heard that she was going to have surgery, she immediately resisted.

"Do you want to cut the stomach and then take the child out? No, what if the knife doesn't grow and scratches the child? I don't want to have surgery. ”

"I don't agree to surgery, it's an operation, how dangerous......! But the doctor said that without surgery, the child might not be saved. ”

Dongzi didn't say it, the doctor's original words were actually that he didn't think about the operation anymore, and judging from the current condition of the mother, he was afraid that the big and small would not be able to save it.

Xu Wanning knows that caesarean section is far less terrible than imagined, after all, many women in later generations have directly chosen caesarean section, and they are even unwilling to give birth naturally.

But she couldn't persuade her.

After all, the medical technology in the 70s was backward, and even in Beijing, the success rate of caesarean section was less than half, let alone in this small town of Hedong.

In case Cui Fen really can't get off the operating table, then she, the person who persuades her, I'm afraid that she will not be able to live in peace in her life.

"Dongzi, what should I do!" Cui Fen held Dongzi's hand: "I don't want to have surgery, but I don't want anything to happen to the child." ”

"We're not afraid, we're not afraid ......"

In addition to not being afraid, Dongzi didn't know how to comfort him.

Because right now, his brain is also a mess.

It's a difficult decision to make, it's just too embarrassing.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, Cui Fen covered her stomach and screamed, and her face was even more cold sweat, "Dongzi, my stomach hurts, it hurts......"

She even had a feeling as if something was going to be stripped out of her body.

The doctor heard the commotion and hurried over to check it.

"The mother's condition is not good, and she must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise she will bear the consequences!"

"Then do the surgery!"

"Sister-in-law......"

Dongzi looked at Xu Wanning, who made the decision for him, "This ......"

"Dongzi, if you have surgery, Cuifen and the child still have hope of surviving, if you don't have surgery, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Dongzi also understands this truth, which is why he is so entangled.

Tryfen was already in great pain, and her wails grew louder and louder.

She couldn't even hear what Xu Wanning and Dongzi said.

Seeing this scene, Dongzi finally made up his mind: "Okay, then do surgery!"

As he signed the danger notice, Dongzi's hands were shaking.

The two-word name he wrote it took him several minutes to write.

"Alright, you go and pay the bills. ”

Xu Wanning patted Dongzi on the shoulder: "You accompany Cuifen here, and I'll pay the bill." ”

The cost of the caesarean section operation is relatively expensive, and Xu Wanning directly paid 20 yuan, for fear that the money would not be enough halfway, so she cut off the medicine for Cuifen
