Chapter 37: Sickness
Her husband's name is Tong An, Tong An understood the reluctance in her heart, and patted her hand twice, "If you are reluctant, just stay!" ”
"Cocoa...... She's sick! ”
"It's okay, we will treat the disease, the problems that money can solve are not problems, if we don't save her, maybe the only thing waiting for her is death. I believe that God will be kind to you and me, and give us a healthy daughter. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes were shining with tears, and her mood at the moment was very complicated, with pity for her children and gratitude to her husband...... Anyway, it was a mixed taste, and it was difficult to describe, so she nodded vigorously to Tong An.
"Then you go in and watch the child, I'll go through the discharge procedures, and we'll take her to the county hospital for treatment."
After Tong An finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the payment office. Zhao Yun also got up from the chair, returned to the ward, looked at the sleeping child on the hospital bed, and she gently stroked the child's face with her hand. Pray silently in your heart, God, you have mercy on this miserable child! Let her grow up safely and healthily!
When Tong An came back after completing the formalities, the two walked out of the hospital with the child in their arms.
Tong An said to Zhao Yun holding the child as he walked: "Ah Yun, I gave the child a name, Tong Wan, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Tong Wan? Her biological parents named her Zhang Shuangwan, and going to Shuangliuwan is not against her parents' original intention, child, did you hear that? In the future, you will be called Tong Wan, the pearl of our Tong family, you must be obedient, you know? ”
Zhao Yun said to the child in her arms, and with Tong An's support, they walked out of the gate of the hospital together.
And Shumei, who rushed to the hospital, happened to pass by them, and Shumei would never have dreamed that her biological daughter was close at hand.
She parked her bicycle and hurried into the hospital. After examination, the doctor said that the child inhaled too much wind and dust, which would cause poor breathing, cough difficult to swallow, and then high fever that did not go away.
The money that I finally got from the factory director was spent on Shuangning. Shumei hugged the child who was playing with hanging water, and complained to herself in her heart. blamed himself, in order to earn money to support his family, he almost killed Shuangning's life.
The hard work of the past few days has turned into nothing, and it is really worth the loss.
She thought a lot in the hospital, anyway, she couldn't take Shuangning to work in the brick factory anymore, life is important, and Shuangning's life is more important.
Coming out of the hospital, Shumei searched the town again with Shuangning on her back. The town is not big in the first place, and it doesn't take much time to find it. She asked one by one, using the double condensation on her back as a "living person painting", and asked the shopkeeper and pedestrians. She was still unwilling, and she still had a fluke mentality, in case she found Dabao.
Unexpectedly, this became a habit engraved in her bones, and in the days after that, as long as she went to the town, she would take Xiao Shuangning and inquire from the town to the end of the town.
Seeing that Shumei didn't go to the factory for a day, Bo Yi hesitated and worried, and after work, he personally bought fruit to Zhang's house, and inquired about Shumei's situation under the pretext of visiting Jizong.
As soon as it was dark, Shumei returned home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she heard Boyi's voice.
"Bo Yi, are you here?" Shumei walked into the door and accosted Bo Yi, who was sitting next to Jizong's bed.
When Bo Yi heard this, he hurriedly got up and helped Shumei take the child next, "Come and see Jizong, how is Xiao Shuangning?" You okay? ”
"It's much better."
"Think about what I said! I really can't take my children to the factory. ”
Bo Yi glanced at the door, made sure that Wu Ju was not at the door, and whispered next to Shumei's ear.
"I know, I'm going to make dinner, you can stay and eat before you leave?" Shumei said to Bo Yi while putting the child next to Jizong.
"Don't eat, it's so late, Xiao Youchen should go to bed, I'll go back."
While Bo Yi spoke, Jizong confirmed the child's situation to Shumei again, "Is the child really okay?" ”
Shumei nodded affirmatively to Jizong, and turned back to respond to Bo Yi, "That's it! Then another day! Come over another day and have two drinks with Jizong. ”
"Okay, Jizong, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you another day."
Bo Yi walked towards the door as he spoke, and Shumei followed behind him, sent him out of the courtyard, and turned around to start dinner.
After dinner, Shumei told Jizong about the idea of putting Xiao Shuangning at home for Wu Ju to take care of, and Jizong of course raised his hands in favor. The work of the brick factory is heavy enough, Shumei still has to work with Shuangning on her back, if nothing else, to reduce the burden for Shumei, he also asked Wu Ju to agree.
At the urging of Jizong, Shumei called Wu Ju to Jizong's room, and Jizong explained the matter to Wu Ju clearly.
Wu Ju's face darkened after hearing this, she still had the same old trick of selling the old with the old.
"I'm old, I've worked hard to pull you up, and I didn't expect a day of happiness, and now I have to serve the little one, don't you know that your aunt and I are seriously rheumatistic, where did you do the work of washing and urine?"
"Auntie, anyway, now your son and I are like this, in the future, for you and Daddy to support the elderly, and the work of serving tea and water is only done by Shumei and your only little granddaughter. People's hearts are long, and my son also knows that you are old, and he doesn't ask you to do too much, but only asks you to do what you can to help Shumei share a little. ”
It is said that if God closes a door for you, it will definitely open a window for you, and this is not wrong at all. In just a few dozen days, Jizong, who used to do everything without moving his mouth, is now able to speak into chapters, and he talks endlessly, and he knows how to move with emotion and reason.
Shumei sat on the bed and coaxed the child in her arms, without interjecting a word. She knew that the same thing would have different effects if different people said it. Jizong said such things, Wu Ju could listen calmly, and he could also consider it carefully. If such words came from his own mouth, Wu Ju would definitely say that he was disobedient and unfilial, and even threatened her with the matter of bringing tea and water.
Wu Ju sat on the stool next to the double-headed table, silent, silent for a long time, and glanced at Shumei from time to time. Shumei bowed her head the whole time, never looking at her.
"Okay, I won't take my own granddaughter with anyone, don't worry, I will take her well."
Wu Ju finally spoke, she finally agreed, and Shumei was excited for a while.
"A-Niang, then it's hard for you, and your granddaughter will definitely be filial to you in the future." Jizong didn't forget to say something nice and compliment her.
"Come on! The cow didn't even hold on, and it could still be counted on the tail of the cow. You can give me something to eat later, and if you don't starve me to death, I'll go to sleep. ”
Wu Ju said in a disbelieving tone, and walked out of the door as he spoke.
Shumei can finally travel lightly, without the fetters of children, Shumei can do things more quickly, more desperately, no less than those men in the factory.
After all, she was still mortal in the flesh, and after days and nights of toil, she finally fell ill.
Early one morning, three poles in the sun, Shumei was still lying on the bed in a daze. She was still dreaming, dreaming that she had become the Monkey King, and at this time she was crossing the Flaming Mountain, and the raging fire was so hot that she felt like she was about to be roasted into human jerky.
The child was so hungry that she screamed, but she was indifferent. Jizong noticed her abnormality and was about to grab her arm with his hand and shake her awake, oh my! Why is it so hot? Through her clothes, Jizong felt her hot body temperature.
"Shumei, Shumei, wake up, wake up, wake up......"
She vaguely heard Jizong's call, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, and her whole body was sore and unbearable.
"Jizong, tell A-Niang to take the child out! I guess I caught a cold, and I was afraid that I would pass the illness to my child. ”
Shumei said to Jizong in a weak voice that she had already fallen, and the child couldn't have anything to do, so the first thing she thought of was the child.
"A-Niang, A-Niang...... Shumei is sick, take the child to your house! Also, take Shumei to see a doctor! She burned badly. ”
Jizong was anxious at the moment, suffering from himself and unable to help. He called Wu Ju in loudly, asked her to take the child out, and begged Wu Ju bitterly to take Shumei to the doctor.
"I don't have any money, if I want to see a doctor, take the money!"
Wu Ju said while holding the child and saying that he refused Jizong's request on the grounds that he had no money.
Helpless, Jizong had to rummage on Shumei, but Shumei tightly covered her pockets.
"Shumei, you let go, it's important to see a doctor."
"No, this is the family's ration, I'll be fine after a while."
Shumei is sick like this, and she is still protecting the little savings left in her arms. Jizong couldn't care so much, and forcibly took out the money in Shumei's arms.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
Jizong is no longer called Wu Ju this time, he knows Wu Ju's personality very well, and the money is in her hands, that is, the meat buns and dogs have gone and there is no return, and when the time comes, the medicine is not bought back, and the money is gone, so Shumei really has to resign herself to fate.
Zhang Binglin, who was sitting in the courtyard smoking a cigarette, heard Jizong's call, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, got up and walked towards the house.
"Daddy, Shumei has a terrible fever, you go buy her some fever medicine and come back! Do you think it's enough? Jizong looked at the few pieces of money in his hand, and reluctantly took out two and handed them to Zhang Binglin.
"Enough is enough!"
Zhang Binglin took the money and readily agreed.
After taking antipyretics, Shumei's condition did not improve, or taking antipyretics only treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and the fever still did not go away, Shumei's mental state has not been good, and she can't get out of bed at all.
Jizong can't take care of her, Wu Ju will definitely not deign to serve her, fortunately, Zhang Binglin is here, although he can't help much, but at least he can cook for them to eat, so that they don't starve to death.
In the evening of the same day, Bo Yi came to Zhang's house to look for her, maybe because Shumei didn't go to the factory!
At this time, the sky was not yet dark, and Wu Ju was teasing Xiao Shuangning in his arms in the courtyard.
