Chapter 28 (II)
Hedi's tears were still crackling, and she took a wet towel to carefully wash the ashes on Herui's hands, and when the ashes were washed off, the swollen marks were even more shocking. Cuiying's heart ached, and she said in a trembling voice: "How can you be so ruthless, how can you be so ruthless." ”
"Mom, don't cry." He Di wiped away her tears and persuaded her mother, "Dad is beating harder, but in the final analysis, it is He Rui who did something wrong and talked back to Dad." She hesitated, thinking about what to say, "If this fight can make Herui realize her mistake, there is actually nothing to lose." ”
"Ugh." Cui Ying sighed, "You said that if our family had money and could afford these things, why would your sister go to someone else's." Her heart was filled with deep guilt, and she always felt that it was her fault that He Rui was like this, and that she didn't take good care of them. But Hetu shook his head and said: "There are so many things in the world, people can't afford to buy them all, if you just take other people's things because of this, then isn't the world chaotic?" ”
Cuiying's mind was a mess, and she couldn't react at all to what Hetu said. She looked at Herui intently, for fear that her daughter would make a mistake. Fortunately, Herui woke up quickly. She looked around in a panic, her body instinctively dodging.
"It's okay, it's okay." Cuiying hurriedly held her down and persuaded, "Your dad is out, he won't beat you." ”
He Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as the frightened emotions disappeared, she felt a hot pain in her palm, hurriedly raised her hand to look, and cried out with a pout.
"Mom! Mother! My hand! She cried, looking at her hands aggrieved and distressed, and looking at her mother with teary eyes.
"It's fine." Cuiying wiped away the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Your sister is going to call the doctor, and when the doctor comes, your hands will be fine." ”
"Will it be okay?" Herui looked at her mother suspiciously, and she blew into the palm of her hand, trying to relieve the hot pain, but it seemed to be useless. Cuiying nodded, and reluctantly smiled: "Mom can still lie to you?" As soon as her words fell, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and a middle-aged man carrying a medical kit hurriedly walked in.
"It's coming, it's coming." He Yi pointed to the kang and said, "That's my sister." ”
The doctor hurriedly sat down on the kang and took Herui's hand to observe it carefully. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cuiying and the family fu who came in behind: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a flesh injury, not a bone injury." He turned his head and glanced at Heyi reproachfully, and said, "You little girl, you lied to me that your sister's hand was broken, but it frightened me." ”
He Yi stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Almost." ”
The doctor opened the medicine box, took out a few bottles and cans, and cleaned and bandaged Herui. Herui kept inhaling the cold air, but she endured the pain and didn't say a word. Jiafu watched in silence, and every slight tremor of Herui made his heart tangled. But fortunately, the bandaging was completed quickly, and Herui exhaled deeply and collapsed on the kang.
"I'll leave you some medicine, remember to change the dressing every day, and the wound can't get wet. Also, this is an anti-inflammatory drug, three meals a day, one small packet at a time, you must remember to take it. Still need to drink more water, remember? The doctor advised. Cuiying took the medicine and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Thank you, doctor." ”
The doctor packed up the medicine box and followed Jiafu out the door. Jiafu paid the money and asked, "The child's hand, it's really nothing, right?" ”
"It's okay, but you have to take good care of it these days, otherwise the wound will not be good if it becomes inflamed." The doctor counted the money, put it in his pocket, and asked suspiciously, "Why is your hand beaten like this?" ”
Jiafu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Did the child do something wrong......
"You can't do this when you do something wrong." The doctor looked at him reproachfully, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, but if I did, it wouldn't be so simple." Educating children is education, but not too much, after all, the human body is the most fragile. ”
Jiafu nodded hurriedly, sent the doctor out, and stood at the gate of the courtyard until his back disappeared around the corner, then he turned around and walked in.
After some tossing, Herui had fallen asleep in a daze. Cuiying stood aside, constantly wiping the sweat from Herui's forehead. He Tu went to the backyard to catch chickens, ready to slaughter a chicken for Herui to make soup to drink. There was only an old hen and a little rooster at home, and she hesitated for a long time, but she still caught the little rooster and left the old hen to lay eggs, and maybe she could hatch chicks again in the future. The little rooster struggled in her hands, the red crown on her head shook and trembled, and Heyi shouted to Heyi, let Heyi hold down the rooster's body, and cut his neck with his knife and feet, and the little rooster stopped struggling.
"It's cruel." He Yi couldn't bear to look at it, turned his head and said.
"You didn't say cruelty when you ate meat." He drove her away and took care of the feathers herself. He Yi pouted and squatted aside unhappily, watching curiously.
"You said that if you hadn't taken that console in the first place, wouldn't there be so much to do today?" He Tu plucked chicken feathers and taught He Yi, "You have also studied, you don't understand such a little truth, it is wrong to steal things, it is wrong." Didn't your teachers teach you? ”
"I don't know." He Yi anxiously explained, "Sister, I really didn't know when the third sister took it, but I only found out when I came out of the second aunt's house and returned to our house." Before I even met you, you came back. ”
"Then you still know about it, don't you?"
He Yi was speechless, she lowered her head and flicked the hay on the ground.
"If you know it, you don't tell your parents, it's also wrong." He Tu glanced at her and sighed, "But Herui too, what's so strange about that thing, isn't it worth it to make Dad angry for that thing." It's the first time I've seen my dad so angry today, and it freaks me out. ”
"Actually, the game console is fun......" Heyi said weakly. He Di didn't hear clearly, and asked her to say it again, and He Yi hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Besides, the second uncle really is." He Tu continued, "I heard from my mother that my father lost a lot of money to him today. ”
"Why do you have to lose money?" Heyi's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't the game console return it to him?" ”
"He said there were a lot of marks on it."
He Yi thought about it carefully and spat on the ground, "Nonsense! I had it on it when I brought it, I remember it clearly! ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I don't know until now!" He Yi rolled his eyes and stood up, "No, I have to get the money back." ”
"You can save some trouble, and I'll make Dad angry again later." He Tu hurriedly said, her hands were full of chicken blood, and she wanted to reach out to pull Heyi, but she was afraid of staining Heyi's clothes, so she hesitated and stopped.
"The third sister has been beaten like this, and he still wants to take our family's money, isn't this a big loss for us?" Heyi said unconvinced, "I, Zhou Heyi, can't afford this loss." Sister, don't worry, just wait for my good news. With that, she turned around and ran towards the courtyard gate, and she was so anxious that she just shouted in vain, but she couldn't do anything.
"It's over, it's over, and now another one is going to be beaten." He sighed and stared blankly at the door, the chicken in his hand twitching slightly, and the bright red crown gradually became darker.
When Hetu made the chicken soup, Heyi returned. She walked in with a smile on her body, sitting on a stool with a bowl in her hand and gulping down water.
"Huh?" He Tu looked back at her in surprise, "What are you doing here?" Why is there dirt all over the body? ”
"Sister." Heyi said happily, "I'm coming back." As she spoke, she waved a few bills in her hand and smiled smugly.
"Is that okay?" Hedi's eyes widened, "How do you want that?" ”
"Hehe, I'll tell you later." He Yi stood up and walked towards the back room. She climbed onto the kang, first looked at Herui, and then said to her mother in a mysterious low voice: "Mom, I'll give you something." ”
"What?" Cuiying asked absentmindedly, her whole mind was on Herui, and she didn't even glance at Heyi who walked in.
Let's put those bills into my mother's hand. Cuiying felt the hardness of the paper in her hand, looked down, and was speechless in surprise. She looked at Heyi and stammered, "You, where did this come from?" Her eyes widened, "Ouch hey, why don't you learn the good and the bad, where did you get it?" Be careful that your dad knows to kill you! ”
"I didn't take it." He Yi pouted, "This is what I asked for from my second uncle, and it's our own money." ”
Cuiying looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what she meant.
"This is the second uncle asking us to pay for the game console." He Yi explained again, tilting his head and waiting for his mother's appreciation. Cuiying stuffed the money back into her hand, turned her head and said, "You hurry up and return it to your second uncle, this is what your father paid to others, if your father knows that you are going to come back again, he will also break your hand." ”
"Mom." Heyi hurriedly explained, "The game console was originally like that, there were a lot of marks on it, and it wasn't what I drew with the third sister at all, I remember it clearly, I also looked at it carefully when the third sister first took it out." ”
"Really?" Emerald looked at her suspiciously. He Yi nodded heavily and said, "Mom, when did I tell a lie." Besides, the third sister has been beaten like this, and we have also returned the game console and returned the money to others, so haven't we suffered a big loss? Our family's money is not blown in the wind, where can we afford others to be so false. I really don't understand, the second uncle already has so much money, why is he always thinking about taking advantage of these small advantages. ”
Emerald looked at her blankly, as if thinking about something. After a while, she took the money from Heyi's hand, sighed and said, "I also understand the reason, but your father is a person who loves face." Forget it, I'll keep the money here first, and I'll tell your dad when it's night. ”
"Hmm." He Yi nodded happily and slipped off the kang and walked outside. She is finally at ease now, thinking that she should tell her second sister about her experience of asking for money, so that she can be proud and get some praise from her second sister. As soon as she lifted the curtain, Hetu stepped in from outside with a bowl of soup and said to Cuiying, "Mom, it's done." ”
Cuiying gently shook Herui's shoulders and said softly: "Rui, get up and drink some soup before going to sleep, chicken soup, your favorite drink." ”
"I want to drink it too." He Yi looked at the bowl of soup greedily, was glanced at by Heyi, and said, "This is for your third sister to drink, you are not injured, what to drink." ”
"I'm hurt." He Yi hurriedly lifted his clothes, and there were a few red marks on his white and tender skin, "Look. ”
"Forget it, give her a bowl too." Cui Ying waved her hand and looked at Heyi lovingly, "Heyi, it can be regarded as being wronged." ”
He Yi looked at He Tu proudly, He Tu smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, you go and sit there, and my sister will serve it for you." ”
When drinking the soup, Heyi couldn't wait for others to ask, so he talked endlessly about the experience of asking for money. The second uncle didn't want to give it to her, and he forced an adult to persuade her and threaten her. Heyi thought to himself, okay, you are unreasonable, and I am unreasonable, let's see who can make trouble with whom. She sat on the ground and cried, rolling around on the concrete floor, tears and snot on her face, until she made Zhou's mother come out, standing at the door and shouting with a distressed face to let her get up. He Yi cried and told Zhou's mother about it, and Zhou's mother chased the second uncle throughout the yard with a cane, scolding him for being greedy for even the cheap of juniors now. The second uncle couldn't take out the money and sent Heyi back. "You don't know, that look is really funny, I was going to cry and laugh again, but it made me hard."
Cui Ying slapped her thigh with a smile, and sighed in her mouth: "Ouch, my clever ghost, that's what you did." ”
Although Herui was still in pain, after listening to Heyi's description, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and laughed. The family of four sat together, and the laughter spread far away to the other end of the courtyard, and when he heard Jiafu's depressed face, he muttered, "Can you still laugh at this?" "They're laughing so happily, what's the point of putting me here?" Alas, educating children to put themselves in such a situation is nothing. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his mind was not at all focused on the work at hand, but after thinking about it, he put down the hammer in his hand, and walked slowly towards the kitchen, wanting to hear what they were laughing at.
But as soon as they saw Jiafu come in, they didn't smile. He Rui hurriedly buried her head in the quilt, and she didn't dare to make a sound. He Yi pretended to be busy, stood up and walked out, He Yi hung his head low, and twisted the corners of his clothes at a loss. Only Cuiying still had a smile on her face, squinting at him.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiafu's heart was full of taste, but he still asked in a slow voice. Before Cuiying could answer, there was a sudden sound of talking at the door, and He Tu opened the curtain and walked in and said, "Dad, Mom, my grandma is here." ”
