Chapter 26: Gluttony

"Go ahead." Lu Niandong waved his hand, stood up, looked at the thin figure, and sighed in his heart, Mu Xiu knew that she was making money to take care of her family at a young age, and her poor life did not extinguish her love for life.

"Mom, don't sew, I said it, you just take good care of your sister, you're still in confinement, how can you not take care of yourself like this, waste your eyes like this, and be careful to see clearly in the future." When Mu Xiu returned to the ward, she saw Zhou Shuilian holding a needle and thread sewing together the diapers that Mu Xiaohua didn't wear to make a urine pad.

She stepped forward and took the needle and thread in Zhou Shuilian's hand, put it under the bedside table, and glanced at her sister, who was already asleep, although she was still covered in earthy yellow, but it was obviously much lighter than the color of the previous days.

Mu Xiu turned around and brought out the rice and braised pork in the lunch box. "Mother, let's eat."

Zhou Shuilian stood up and stretched her lower limbs first, not long after Mu Xiu left the ward in the morning, she woke up, on the bedside table, there was a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and an egg, she knew that it was the meal left for her by her daughter, Zhou Shuilian was only willing to drink the porridge, and the steamed bun was left behind, ready to eat at noon, after all, in the hospital, to see the little daughter, you can save a point.

After Zhou Shuilian finished drinking the porridge, she picked up the needle and thread borrowed from the nurse's table and began to sew up the worn-out diapers, so that she could put them under Mu Xiaohua's body, and she didn't have to wet the sheets all the time.

"How is the meat, Xiu, where did you get the money?" Zhou Shuilian smelled the fragrance, looked at it, and found that what was on the bedside table was braised pork that might not be eaten during the New Year, she was startled, and her face became ugly.

Zhou Shuilian grabbed Mu Xiu and whispered eagerly: "Xiu, my mother knows that we haven't eaten meat for a long time, my mother can't stand you, although our family is poor, but we can't do the thing of stealing chickens and dogs, where did you get this meat?" The mother went to admit her mistake to others. ”

Looking at Zhou Shuilian's anxious appearance, a warmth rose in Mu Xiu's heart, this mother is good at everything, but her temperament is too weak.

"Mother, what do you think I am, I bought this meat."

"You bought it? Where did you get the money? Zhou Shuilian was slightly relieved when she heard that the meat was not stolen, but suddenly she thought of something, and looked at Mu Xiu in disbelief, her eyes full of pain, "Xiu, whose money did you steal?" ”

Mu Xiu: "......"

"Mother, don't guess, I'll tell you, when I cooked for you a few days ago, ......" Mu Xiu looked at Zhou Shuilian's panicked sweat, and she quickly explained everything that had happened these days.

"Grandpa Lu said, he has covered all our food, this is the salary given by Grandpa Lu, mother, look." After Mu Xiu finished explaining, he took out the remaining money from his clothes and handed it to Zhou Shuilian.

"My sister's medical expenses are 40, I have already paid it, and there is still 39 yuan here, if my sister doesn't have to buy blood tomorrow, this money is enough to support my father."

"Oh my God, this Lu family should have so much money to give you so much money." Zhou Shuilian looked at the money in her hand in disbelief, this is a huge amount of money, in addition to seeing a doctor for her youngest daughter and borrowing that little money, this is the second time she has touched so much money.

"Shhh, be quiet, Grandpa Lu takes pity on us, so he gives such a high salary, other people's families are not bad for money, you must not talk nonsense and cause any trouble to Grandpa Lu." Mu Xiu's face was solemn and explained to Zhou Shuilian.

Zhou Shuilian naturally didn't suspect her, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Don't say it, I won't say it." ”

"Let's eat, then." Mu Xiu knew that her mother was timid, so if she was scared, she wouldn't ask more.

Zhou Shuilian sat down obediently and ate with Mu Xiu. I didn't forget to advise: "Xiu, you will take good care of your Grandpa Lu in the future, people are good to us, let's remember to be grateful." ”

"Then you have to promise me to eat well, otherwise, if you are too tired and fall, there will be no one to take care of your sister." Mu Xiu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhou Shuilian's bowl.

"Okay, you can eat more, just taste it."

"Mother" Mu Xiu deliberately lowered her face.

"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." Zhou Shuilian lowered her head to eat, but a deep sense of relief rose in her heart, her daughter has grown up and is still so caring.

Just when the mother and daughter were eating happily, the mother who accompanied the No. 2 bed also prepared a meal, she smelled the fragrance at the door of the ward, walked into the ward, and saw Zhou Shuilian's mother and daughter eating a large plate of steaming braised pork together, and immediately stared.

Didn't the mother and daughter say in the morning that they had no money to pay the hospitalization fee, why did they even eat the braised pork in this moment......

Li Yue thoughtfully took the food she had made and handed it to her son Xiaogang, who had just woken up.

As soon as Xiao Gang woke up, he smelled the aroma of meat, he thought that Li Yue had given him meat, and took the bowl with an expectant face, but what he saw was a scrambled egg with a loofah, he looked around, and saw that the No. 3 bed next door was eating such a large plate of bright braised pork, Xiao Gang swallowed his saliva, pushed away the rice bowl and said to Li Yue: "Mom, I want to eat meat, I don't eat this!" ”

"Well, there are eggs here, and the eggs are delicious." Li Yue hurriedly coaxed Xiao Gang and pushed the rice bowl over again.

"Don't eat, don't eat, I don't want eggs, I want meat, I want meat!" Xiao Gang is only a four-year-old child after all, and now he wants to eat meat, and when he heard that his request was refused, he slapped it and knocked over the bowl, and the scrambled eggs with loofah and the rice covered under it were all sprinkled on the ground.

"Slap" Li Yue slapped Xiao Gang in the face, and then quickly squatted down and pulled the food on the ground into the bowl with his hands.

"Li Yue, what are you doing!" When Xiaogang's father Yang Wei was hospitalized, he changed shifts with others to take care of the child, and when Mu Xiu and they first moved in, Xiaogang's fracture had been stabilized, so he relied on it.

Yang Wei hurried back to work in the Agricultural Bureau, these days he was busy with the work he still owed, and he didn't take time until today, so he quickly came to the hospital to see his son, and saw his son with a red and swollen face, crying so sadly.

"He's also too bad about things, throwing eggs and rice on the ground." Li Yue didn't have a job, so she always felt inferior to Yang Wei, and when she saw Yang Wei angry, she quickly explained.

"Dad, I want to eat meat, I want to eat braised pork." Xiao Gang cried and pointed to Mu Xiu's side.
