(6) Sick and sick

In these two short weeks, Shen Rumeng gradually regained her strength, but her breast milk was no longer so sufficient, and she could only barely feed Xiao Jingshu once or twice a day. Although Shen Rumeng still eats desperately, she never sees any improvement in her breast milk. Fortunately, Xiao Jingshu is a good baby who is not picky, and she eats everything her grandmother feeds her very sweetly, so Shen Rumeng felt comforted at the same time, and also learned a lot of baby meal practices from her mother-in-law. 

The two-week vacation ended in the blink of an eye, and Shen Rumeng's mother and daughter began to run at home again. On the first day, he was still doing the same work as before, and Shen Rumeng came to the staff canteen early to prepare as before. After not seeing her for a few weeks, her colleagues greeted her warmly and greeted her with concern. Shen Rumeng was very happy while handing out meal tickets, and at the same time greeting colleagues and saying words of thanks, it was really lively and busy at noon!

Seeing that it was more than half past one in the afternoon, Shen Rumeng finally waited for him to eat. Because she had put her daughter's food on the edge of the big stove in the cafeteria, her daughter's food was always warm, and she had already fed her daughter before the meal ticket was issued, so now she was just eating her own share. In the winter of December, the temperature during the day was minus 20 degrees, and the food was already cold, Shen Rumeng didn't think much about it and ate the cold rice as before, but she was only halfway through eating, and the pain in her stomach made her have to put down the chopsticks in her hand. 

"It hurts! Why does it hurt so much? ”

Shen Rumeng couldn't help muttering in her heart, although her stomach often felt pain in the past, but it wasn't so bad for a long time, and she never took this pain seriously. It was the first time it hurt so much, it hurt so much that Shen Rumeng broke out in a cold sweat, she pressed her stomach hard with her hand, and bent down with a frown in pain. 

Xiao Jingshu, who was sitting on the table, saw that her mother seemed to feel that something was wrong, she crawled to her mother's side and opened her big eyes, staring at her mother intently. Sensing her daughter's gaze, Shen Rumeng hurriedly raised her head, endured the pain, and reluctantly smiled at her daughter, and stood up and gently took the little guy in her arms to comfort her. 

A female colleague on the side also noticed that Shen Rumeng's face was not quite right, she was already snow-white, but now her little face was so pale that it was too frightening, and she was sweating profusely in the winter. The female colleague hurriedly got up and walked over, and asked Shen Rumeng with concern: "Xiao Shen, what's wrong with you?" It's still sweaty on such a cold day, is there something uncomfortable in your body? ”

Shen Rumeng was embarrassed to say that her stomach hurt badly, and her kind-hearted colleague immediately said anxiously: "You bear with it first, I'll ask who has stomach medicine!" ”

Without waiting for Shen Rumeng to say anything, the female colleague had already walked out of the office, and after a while, she hurriedly walked in with a pack of stomach medicine and a glass of water. 

After Shen Rumeng thanked her colleague very gratefully, she quickly drank the medicine, and after more than half an hour or so, she felt that the pain had been reduced a lot. So Shen Rumeng went to thank another colleague who gave her the medicine, and inquired about the name of the stomach medicine and some reasons for the stomach pain. It turns out that this colleague is a person with relatively weak stomach function, so the stomach medicine has never left his body, and today he has done Shen Rumeng a great favor, otherwise I don't know when she will have to finish the pain! 

When it was time to get off work, Shen Rumeng took her daughter and got on the bus home with her colleagues as usual. In winter, there was snow and ice on the roads, and the roads were also slippery, and in those days, there were no wide and straight asphalt roads in the countryside, they were all narrow and crooked dirt roads, and it was dark early when he got off work, so Shen Rumeng had to spend more time than usual to be able to return home. When Shen Rumeng finally hugged Xiao Jingshu, who was tightly wrapped, and walked to the door of the house, she carried her daughter on her shoulder with one hand, and then took out the key with the other hand and prepared to open the door. But the door lock seemed to be against Shen Rumeng at this time, she had spent a long time but there was no way to open it, and she was tired and anxious, and she suddenly made herself sweat again. Panting and stopping all movements, Shen Rumeng took a closer look and found that the door lock was completely frozen because of the cold weather.

"What can I do?"

Shen Rumeng was really at a loss to carry her daughter, and finally returned home from work, but was blocked by this small door lock, this mood is simply too sad!

At this moment, Yao Zhiwen's gentle voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why don't you enter the house, is the lock frozen again?" ”

Originally, Yao Zhiwen went home first every day, but today it was because the unit had a temporary meeting and it had been held for a long time, so it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening, and Yao Zhiwen hurried back. 

Shen Rumeng immediately turned around, looked at her husband with a depressed expression, and said anxiously, "What should I do?" I've been working on it for a long time, and I still can't open it! ”

"It's okay, don't worry! ”

Yao Zhiwen parked his bicycle and took out a pack of matches and a small candle in his pocket as he picked up his daughter from his wife's shoulder. After Yao Zhiwen handed the match to Shen Rumeng, he held the candle in one hand and motioned for her to light the candle, and then he directly put the lit candle under the keyhole and roasted it. I saw a few drops of melted snow dripping on the ground in an instant, and then Yao Zhiwen smiled and said to Shen Rumeng: "Try it now!" ”

Shen Rumeng hurriedly took out the key to unlock the lock, only to hear the "click", the lock immediately opened, and she was so excited that she shouted happily: "Zhiwen, you are too smart, you are amazing!" ”

Yao Zhiwen couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, let's go into the house quickly!" ”

"Hmmm! ”

As soon as the family of three entered the house, they lit the kerosene lamp first, and Shen Rumeng coaxed her daughter Xiao Jingshu while preparing to cook dinner. Yao Zhiwen quickly carried the dry firewood from the firewood pile outside the house into the house, lit the two stoves in three clicks and two clicks, and then Yao Zhiwen coaxed his daughter to replace Shen Rumeng to cook. Shen Rumeng used one stove to cook the rice first, and then used another stove to stew a pot of sauerkraut soup. 

In winter, people in the north will use a large vat to pickle sauerkraut and eat it all winter. Because in the winter of that era, there were almost no fresh vegetables to eat, and there were only sauerkraut, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes, which were the main raw materials for cooking throughout the winter. For the little couple who are very busy with work and life are still very poor, this sauerkraut soup is the most common dish they eat in winter, stew such a big pot at night, and heat it up the next morning and noon, which is really both money and time-saving!

The little couple worked hard for a long time before they were finally able to sit on the kang table and eat dinner. Because they were afraid that their daughter would be burned by hot soup and hot rice, every day when they ate, the two adults would watch their daughter feed their daughter, and the other would change shifts after eating. Today is no exception, Yao Zhiwen eats quickly, every time he has eaten before his daughter's meal is fed, and then he rushes to feed his daughter and let Shen Rumeng eat slowly. 

Shen Rumeng smiled and watched as the two of them picked up the dishes and chopsticks and just ate two bites, and their stomachs hurt again as if they were being burned by fire, and it felt like there was a flame about to rush out. Shen Rumeng was so uncomfortable that she quickly covered her mouth and got off the kang, and before she even had time to put on her shoes, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen and threw the flames into the bucket for dirty water. 

Because it was dark in the room, Shen Rumeng didn't see what she vomited clearly, and thought it was the food she had just eaten, but when she wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand, Shen Rumeng saw a little red blood on her hand. When she was stunned, Yao Zhiwen, who was holding Xiao Jingshu, walked to her side, he looked at Shen Rumeng eagerly and asked, "What's wrong, isn't it good to eat?" What is wrong with you? ”

As soon as Shen Rumeng turned around, the careful Yao Zhiwen immediately saw the blood on the corner of his wife's mouth, and Yao Zhiwen was so frightened that his eyes widened in shock and said, "You vomited blood!" What's going on? Don't hide it from me! ”

Shen Rumeng came to her senses at this time, she looked at her husband's shocked expression, and knew that she couldn't hide it from him anymore to make him worry, so she told Yao Zhiwen all the things that she had always had a stomach ache and a bad stomach ache during the day today. 

After hearing this, Yao Zhiwen hugged his daughter with one hand, helped Shen Rumeng to the kang with the other, and then put down his daughter to lay out the futon, and he asked his wife to lie down and rest quickly. 

As soon as Shen Rumeng lay down, she felt dizzy and fell asleep all of a sudden, Yao Zhiwen hurriedly ran to the neighbor Zhao's house with her daughter in her arms, and explained Shen Rumeng's situation to the Zhao family and his wife. Yao Zhiwen wanted to ask Zhao's sister-in-law to help take a look at the child, and asked Brother Zhao to help take a look at his wife Shen Rumeng, so he could go back to his parents' house to find his younger brothers and sisters to help, and quickly sent his wife to the hospital for treatment. 

When Brother Zhao heard this, he immediately suggested: "Don't go back to find someone to waste time, call your neighbor Xiao Zhang and let's go to the hospital together!" His cart pulling vegetables is still at home, let's go to the hospital, don't delay Xiao Shen's condition! ”

Yao Zhiwen was very grateful when he heard this, and immediately agreed, so the three men didn't dare to delay and immediately took action, pushing the unconscious Shen Rumeng with a cart, and rushed all the way to the hospital. 

On the way to the hospital, Shen Rumeng was in a coma. When the three big men rushed to the hospital, they were already sweating profusely, especially Yao Zhiwen was even more anxious, and he couldn't worry about it! As soon as he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Yao Zhiwen hurriedly picked up his wife and took her directly to the emergency room. Brother Zhao and Xiao Zhang have always been by their side, one helping with the luggage, and the other helping to register to find a doctor. 

Because it was night, there were only two doctors and a few nurses on duty, and after listening to Yao Zhiwen's narration, the two doctors basically determined that Shen Rumeng should have stomach bleeding. Because the specific examination and laboratory tests could not be officially carried out until the next day when all the staff arrived, after the basic examination and treatment, the doctor first asked Shen Rumeng to be hospitalized for observation.
