Chapter 65: Reminiscences of the Past 1
"What a waste of that, you hurry up and eat these two, and I'll eat the rest, it's just a slight discoloration, no problem." Aunt Gui washed her hands, and soon said that the three rabbits with serious discoloration had eaten, and she didn't even let go of the peel that was used as a rabbit ear, and when she ate the remaining three uncut apples, Meng Yao's two pieces were eaten, and the two of them couldn't help laughing, Aunt Gui took the cutting board and knife, washed it, dried it with a kitchen paper towel, and put it back in place.
"If you want to work, you can go to the refrigerator and take out the bean sprouts for me, pick the roots, and make you boiled beef tomorrow. We're blowing the wind outside, and people get sick when they're in the air conditioner all day. I'll tell you about your mother. Aunt Gui sat on the small bench and commanded. Tuck your phone into your pocket. Then put another small bench that he had just taken out next to the high back chair, obviously for Meng Yao.
"Okay, okay, she really doesn't hear her mother's story, after her mother died, her father gave her a letter, and she didn't say a word, and her grandparents and aunts also talked about some things before her mother got married, and she doesn't have much memory about her and her mother, after all, it's really too small, if it weren't for the fact that there are still a lot of photos at home, I'm afraid that the only ones will be forgotten." Meng Yao trotted out the bean sprouts, and obediently went to get a water filter basin with a net.
"Your parents and Haohao went to grandma's house tonight, so it's just the two of us at home, if your mother is at home, it's really inconvenient for me to tell you this, I'm afraid she will think too much, in fact, she is not easy, and it is good for you." If there is a difference between your two sisters and brothers, there is no way, after all, it is not out of the belly of a mother, and it is not too picky to be a stepmother to do her job. Seeing Meng Yao nodding silently, she continued, "You are going to Kyoto soon, if I don't tell you today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to know how your mother has spent all these years in Xi City." ”
"When I knew your mother, your mother was pregnant with you, and her belly was not big, but I can still see it, I still remember that she had this little belly at that time, one hand gently put on it, one hand swayed, and she walked with the wind, and now I don't think about it like a lady at all. The speed of speech is fast, and the voice is not small, but with a smile on his face, he can't help but want to get close to her and trust her. A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.
"At that time, my mother suddenly had an attack of appendicitis, and the pain was rolling on the ground, and the doctor in the village saw that he should hurry up to the big hospital for surgery, at that time, Xi City was still not Xi City, but called Xi County, and the county in our home was still close, when my father went out to do things, my brother and I at home, and quickly found a neighbor to let him send us to the county people's hospital with a farm vehicle, and then was quickly driven by the security guards, saying that the entrance of the hospital was blocked, so the man left immediately, although I was old, but more than 20 years stayed in the countryside so little, My younger brother is still young, although my mother was put on the cart, but I have the only 300 yuan in my pocket at home, so I can only follow the nurse behind her to listen to her arrangements, registration, payment, and examination, but by the time I am hospitalized, more than half of the money has been spent, and the rest is not even enough for the deposit. But there is no money to be hospitalized for surgery, my mother, who has been in pain for a long time, has been tossing in the hospital for too long, and her face is bloodless, but she still said that she wants to take our sister and brother home. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he raised his arm and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"At that time, we really had no way, there was no phone, there were no relatives in the county, but it was not okay for us to take our mother back, it had been detected that it was acute appendicitis, and it may be life-threatening if we did not do surgery, my brother and I knelt on the ground and begged the doctors and nurses, saying that we would let us do the surgery first, and we would definitely make up the money. But at that time, they may also have their own difficulties, after all, whoever promised the money would be counted on whoever head, everyone relied on their wages to eat, although they were very sympathetic, but this kind of thing still happened a lot, and naturally there were a lot of dependents. This is what your mother later told me, and she told me not to hate. It's useless to kneel, we sat on the hospital bench with my mother and cried, and then your mother came over like an angel. "There was a sparkle in my eyes, and I was a little excited.
She sat next to me very gently, asked me what my name was, whether I was studying, whether I could find anyone else at home who could take money, and her tone was very gentle, just asking, not aggressive, and finally asked my mother what to do after the operation? I told my mother that as long as she could have surgery, I would go home and sell the grain and pigs to pay back. She smiled, what to eat after the grain was sold, what to do with the pig's tuition for her younger brother's tuition, and the family's living expenses. Then I asked the nurse on the side to prepare my mother for a preoperative examination or something, so that I could rest assured that my mother's surgery was fine. She just walked away, didn't make me make any commitments, and just went back to her business. ”
"Later, because my mother had endured the pain for a long time and didn't eat, I couldn't stand it before we were called, so we could have surgery on the same day, it was a little late in the afternoon at that time, your mother had two surgeries that day, my mother had dragged on for two days, and the situation was still more serious, so she decided to do another operation by herself, after all, she came from a big place, and her surgical experience and ability were better than the doctors who had been working here for more than ten years or even decades, and the surgical wound she did was small. The patient also recovered well after surgery. My mother's surgery was very good, and the wound was less than two centimeters, which was really small at the time. ”
"I still remember waiting outside the operating room, seeing my mother being pushed out, so peaceful to sleep, my heart also relaxed, quickly took my brother to the ward, I still remember it was dark at that time, but we only cared about my mother, until your mother brought us two bowls of noodles, egg noodles from the hospital cafeteria, to be honest, the taste is really ordinary. Your mother specially explained my postoperative precautions, and then specially greeted the nurse, which means that we are still children, let them pay special attention to the patients in our bed, and also told us to notify the nurse quickly if there is anything, and then dragged the heavy body away, from walking with the wind, to holding the waist and walking slowly, I was too young at the time, if I wanted to now, I would definitely help her to send her back, fortunately, you and she are very good. ”
"I spent a difficult night tremblingly, and the next day I took my younger brother and was about to ask the nurse where I could have breakfast, when I saw your mother come again, carrying a thermos bucket and a rice bowl, which contained the egg cakes she had spread," Aunt Gui laughed, because the scene in her mind was indeed very funny, Meng Yao looked at her with great interest.
