Chapter 5 Misfortune is not a one-way street, and the two children hurt their muscles and bones
Blessings come for a reason, and disasters come gradually. It was probably when Wen Jing was five years old, and several earthquake-like disasters occurred one after another in the Zhu family, which made Zhu Xinghua's cigarettes and alcohol tasteless and distracted, while Xu Guiying sighed sadly.
One afternoon in early spring, Xu Guiying was hoeing with the villagers when she suddenly heard someone shouting to her: "Zhihui Mom! Zhihui Mom! She turned her head and saw that it was Mr. Lu, the second son's senior high school teacher, who came to her in the dust. Teacher Lu told her breathlessly: Zhu Zhihui was pushed down by a classmate because she was playing a game of cockfighting, resulting in a comminuted fracture of her left ankle bone, and is now being treated in Dongchang Town Health Center.
Xu Guiying immediately dropped her hoe when she heard this, and she didn't have time to report to her husband at the bus station, so she followed Teacher Lu straight to the Dongchang Town Health Center. Xu Guiying was puzzled: How could this simple, well-behaved and introverted son who had been so honest and introverted since he was a child suddenly cause such a big disaster?
It is true that Zhu Zhihui was a typical well-behaved baby when he was a child, and he could hardly hear his crying all day long. The fortune teller said that this little trick is a lucky general, and he will be able to soar to prosperity in the future. Sure enough, when Zhu Zhihui was still a toddler, he picked up a pure gold ring under the bench in the waiting room of Xiaoyizhuang Bus Station. What's even more amazing is that he has not been picky eaters or sick since he was a child, he is not naughty or troublesome, and his reading performance is far ahead of the class until he skips one level...... People in the know say that if anyone gives birth to a son like Zhu Zhihui, who loves flowers and flowers, parents will laugh out loud even if they are in a dream.
When Zhu Zhihui was born, it was the second year of Zhu Yuliang's junior high school. Xu Guiying probably couldn't take care of it, so she had to beg her eldest daughter to take a year off from school and hold this angelic and cute brother full-time at home. couldn't help his parents' good words, Zhu Yuliang had to pout and take a year off school. Later, Zhu Yu's conscience, who was away all the year round, was most concerned about this baby brother who had been held by himself for a year.
On the way, Xu Guiying learned about the cause and effect of the incident from Mr. Lu.
It turns out that the school has been semi-closed recently, and students have more time to move around freely. Perhaps due to the influence of the general environment, the boys in Zhu Zhihui's class have been divided into two factions that are incompatible, and they often argue and even fight over a difference of opinion. Later, I don't know who invented the method of "cockfighting" to resolve the differences between the two factions, stipulating that the losing faction must unconditionally obey the winning faction on a certain point or matter.
The so-called "cockfighting" is that one leg is hooked by one hand, and the other leg jumps and walks to play with the opponent, both sides can hit each other with their bodies, or they can push each other with their hands, and whoever falls to the ground first will lose. If the boys of the two factions fight in groups, which faction will lose the total defeat if there are more people who fall to the ground within the specified time. For this situation, the head teacher can't stop it, so he can only let it go and sigh.
Zhu Zhihui had the best grades in the class, and he was also the boy who didn't like to get into arguments with people, so he didn't join any faction. For this reason, he was often ridiculed by boys from both factions, and everyone made fun of him for not being a man. After hearing this, he shook his head and smiled, never arguing with others.
On that day, the boys of the two factions had another dispute over a certain point of view, and the two sides decided to fight each other in the form of cockfighting. A boy nicknamed "Iron Tower" saw Zhu Zhihui sitting peacefully in the classroom reading a book, completely indifferent to this tense posture, so he came to provoke again. He said, "There is a bird to read so many books", and he snatched Zhu Zhihui's books and threw them out of the classroom; Zhu Zhihui ran out to pick up books amid the laughter of his classmates......
The "cockfighting" competition between the two groups of boys is about to begin, and everyone has already aimed at the target they are ready to attack, just waiting for the referee's whistle to blow; And the girls are watching the excitement, and some are still cheering for their crushes.
As soon as the referee's whistle fell, I saw a boy shouting: "The iron tower is too deceitful!" He jumped over at a lightning speed and knocked the "iron tower" into the sky on all fours. The onlookers laughed when they saw this, and they cheered for the collider. "Iron Tower" looked at it, and it was Zhu Zhihui, who was half a head shorter than himself and had always been pinched by him as a soft persimmon. He was annoyed and angry, he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and when he got up, he went to push Zhu Zhihui; Zhu Zhihui fell heavily to the ground, and his left ankle hit a rock......
Xu Guiying listened to Teacher Lu's narration while scolding "grandma's", and the two went to the town health center while talking.
At this time, Zhu Zhihui's left foot had been put on a plaster cast and tied into a big sandbag, and his eyes were red and obviously he had just cried; Seeing his mother sweating profusely to pick him up, his childish face was full of shame. Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Xu Guiying's heart hurt like cutting meat, and she couldn't bear to say another word of reproach.
When he left the health center, the doctor explained that the recovery period for internal fixation of ankle fracture was more than three months, and he could resume walking in about four months, but he could not engage in heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise for one year. Teacher Lu borrowed a bicycle to push it, let Zhu Zhihui sit in the back seat, supported by Xu Guiying, and the three of them took a lot of effort to return to Xiaoyizhuang.
Zhu Zhihui's "sacrifice" ended the "cockfighting" competition in the class, and these boys and girls seemed to understand a truth overnight: the struggle with others is endless.
When Zhu Zhihui was recuperating at home, his second sister Zhu Yushan was already working as a substitute teacher in Xiaoyizhuang Primary School, the third sister Zhu Yuzhen had also graduated from high school and was helping her father at the bus station, and the younger brother Zhu Zhicheng was still in the fourth grade of primary school, so during the day, there were only three people left in the family, his mother and his niece Wen Jing.
Three or four months in prison is undoubtedly difficult for a teenager in his prime. In order to pass the time, and in order to repay Wen Jing for tirelessly taking things for him, he found his primary school textbooks and began to teach Wen Jing to read, count, and draw. It is strange to say that Wen Jing, the demon king of the mixed world who was "expelled" from Xiaoyizhuang Primary School, began to obediently read and write, count and draw under the snort of her second uncle. It didn't take long for her to write her name like a decent one.
Summer is coming, and I saw that Zhu Zhihui's feet could walk on tiptoe, but Zhu Zhicheng had an accident again.
That evening, Zhu Zhicheng held a basketball in one hand and covered his nose with the other, and returned home dejectedly. Xu Guiying said What's wrong with your nose, Zhu Zhicheng said that he was hit by a basketball and bled a lot, and it still hurts. Xu Guiying saw that her son's shirt was indeed bloodstained, so she opened his hand to see what was going on. Oh, my God! There were blood crusts in both nostrils, an exaggeratedly swollen nose, and a deep depression in the bridge of the nose. Xu Guiying lightly touched the recess, and Zhu Zhicheng screamed.
After examining Zhu Zhicheng at the Xiaoyizhuang Military Corps Hospital, it was found that the bridge of his nose had been fractured, but fortunately it was not in place, so there was no need for surgical treatment. The doctor told Xu Guiying: Fortunately, they were sent in time; If you come back for treatment after a few days after the fracture, you may have a deformed nose without surgery.
What a blessing in misfortune!
A son's foot was fractured, and a son's nose was fractured, which added a few more roots to Zhu Xinghua's white hair, and made Xu Guiying's forehead tattoo a few more ways. And what worries them the most is not the injuries of their sons, but the granddaughter Wen Jing, who is addicted to water under their knees. As long as it is summer, an important task of the family is to watch the "little fox" and forbid her to go to the water to play alone. If she is found to be alone secretly playing in the water, then a spanking is inevitable. Despite this, the villagers will occasionally see the granddaughter of the stationmaster and his black dog playing on the edge of the Gonggong Dam. Whenever this happens, the villagers will persuade Wen Jing to go home in a coaxing manner.
One afternoon, Wen Jing returned home wet and supplied, with some scratches on her hands. Seeing this, Xu Guiying was angry and anxious, and slapped her ass a few times, scolding while beating: "How many times have I told you, if it wasn't for the uncle of the People's Liberation Army who rescued you, you would have been a river dead ghost a long time ago." If you are told not to play in the water, you are disobedient; I've never seen such a disobedient little girl like you! Are you really going to kill me to death? Tell you to play in the water again! Tell you to play in the water again! ”
Wen Jing was beaten and scolded by her grandmother, but she didn't cry or make trouble, as if she had lost her soul. At night, she developed a high fever and muttered all night long about dreams that no one could understand, which made the family anxious.
