Chapter 24: New Year's Day
Meng Jiayue touched Ruan Yu's face, went out of the clinic to buy porridge for her, and turned half a street in the snow before finding a porridge shop. After nine o'clock in the evening, there was no one in the store, Meng Jiayue bought one each of corn porridge, oatmeal porridge and eight-treasure porridge, and when she brought it back to the clinic, Aunt Chen had not returned.
Meng Jiayue put the porridge on the chair, went to the door to pat the snow off his body, and asked Ruan Yu when he came back: "Has my mother never come?" ”
Ruan Yu shook his head: "No." ”
"Is it still cold?" Meng Jiayue bent down and touched the back of Ruan Yu's hand to test the temperature, it was still cold, couldn't help frowning, thought about it, simply grabbed Ruan Yu's hand and put it in his pajama pocket to keep warm, and then turned around and took a bowl of polenta.
"Drink eight-treasure porridge first." Ruan Yu pointed to the bag and said.
Meng Jiayue looked down at the corn porridge in his hand that had opened the lid of the box, closed it again and put it back, and replaced it with eight-treasure porridge to feed.
The freshly made porridge in the store was blown by the cold wind on the way back and was no longer hot, and it could be eaten directly, Meng Jiayue pulled a stool to sit on, he bought a small portion, the amount was not much, but after feeding a bowl of porridge, Ruan Yu also felt warm on his body, and his face was a lot ruddy.
The body warmed up, and the hands gradually became warmer, but it was not honest when she put it in Meng Jiayue's pocket, and at first Meng Jiayue was still indulging her, and when she was annoyed, she glanced at it, and Ruan Yu became honest in an instant.
Meng Jiayue threw the packing box into the trash can, and saw that Aunt Chen hadn't come outside, so he said to Ruan Yu: "I'll go outside to make a call, don't move, behave." With that, he took Ruan Yu's hand out of his pocket and went outside to find a doctor.
There was no one in the clinic, and the doctors were very idle, and only one doctor was watching TV outside when Meng Jia crossed over.
"Uncle." Meng Jiayue called the doctor first, and said anxiously: "My mother just went home, but she hasn't come yet, I want to call and ask, can I borrow your phone here?" ”
"Oh, yes, you can fight!" The doctor casually pointed to the phone on the counter and resumed watching TV.
Meng Jiayue dialed Aunt Chen's mobile phone, and after waiting for a while, the person on the other end of the phone was Uncle Meng.
"Where's Dad, Mom?"
"Your mom fell." Uncle Meng's voice was not very clear, as if it was too far away from the microphone, but it was enough for Meng Jiayue to hear what he was saying clearly.
Meng Jiayue was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected, and then hurriedly asked his father: "Does it matter?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, I'm giving her medicine! Hang up if it's okay. As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Chen said something loudly again, but only a few vague words came from too far away, and Uncle Meng repeated: "Your mother wants you to take care of Ruan Yu, she can't go down now." ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Meng Jiayue thanked the doctor, went back to the infusion room and talked to Ruan Yu, and asked her if she was still hungry.
Ruan Yu nodded, she had only eaten a small bowl of porridge, and she was not full at all.
While the porridge was still cold, Meng Jiayue fed the corn porridge to Ruan Yu to eat, and as for the oatmeal porridge, Ruan Yu didn't move, and even ate two bowls of porridge, even if it was a small portion, she was full.
Meng Jiayue put the packing box and the bowl of oatmeal porridge into the bag, and took it to the trash can outside to throw it away, and when he came back, the small bottle of potion that Ruan Yu was hanging was almost gone, Meng Jiayue waited next to him for a while, and then went outside to ask the doctor to change the medicine bottle.
After hanging this bottle, you can go home, but this bottle is bigger than the previous one, and it won't be finished for a while.
Meng Jiayue sat next to him and watched for a while, estimated the time in his heart, got up and said to Ruan Yu: "I'll go back first, and I'll be back in about ten minutes." ”
"Okay." Ruan Yu was a little reluctant, looking at Meng Jiayue with a blank eye, but still nodded.
"Good." Meng Jiayue rubbed Ruan Yu's head.
As soon as he left, the infusion room became even more deserted, Ruan Yu looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and counted the time boringly.
The second hand turned round and round, and when the minute hand moved ten grids, Meng Jiayue finally came back, holding a bunch of things in his hand, blankets, scarves, snow boots, hot water bottles, comic books, umbrellas, packed separately in two bags, looking at the bulging bag.
When Ruan Yu was pulled out of the house by Meng Jiayue, she had a pair of cotton slippers on her feet, and she didn't wear socks, and she must have frozen her heels when she walked in the snow. Meng Jiayue took his shoes, brown short boots, a thick layer of fur inside, warm clothes, as soon as he brought them, he changed them for Ruan Yu first.
"It's huge." Ruan Yu cocked her legs and deliberately shook her feet, and her shoes immediately half-slipped down, revealing half of her white and tender soles.
"Don't make a fuss." Meng Jiayue flicked at Ruan Yu's head, squatted down and grabbed her ankle to put her shoes back on, and then got up and took out the hot water bottle from the bag.
The pink hallo kitty hot water bottle, at a glance, I knew that it was bought by Aunt Chen, Meng Jiayue charged the electricity at home for a while before he came, and the hot water bottle was still warm here, but if it was a warm hand, the temperature would definitely not work, so he took the charging cable together, found the plug board in the infusion room, and charged it within a few minutes of plugging it in.
Then Ruan Yu wrapped herself in a blanket, hugged a hot water bottle, and looked at the comic book beautifully, Meng Jiayue also put a handful of candy in her pocket for her to eat, and before she knew it, a bottle of potion was hung up.
After the doctor pulled out the needle, the back of Ruan Yu's hand was bleeding a little, Meng Jiayue helped her press it for a while, and saw that the clock on the wall was already more than ten o'clock, and she couldn't delay any longer, so she put the scarf on Ruan Yu, packed up her things and planned to leave.
"Meng Jiayue, I'm thirsty." As soon as he hung up the water, Ruan Yu's mouth was very dry, and he shook Meng Jiayue's arm and coquettishly.
"I'm going out and buying you milk tea." Meng Jiayue coaxed, while sorting out the scarf for Ruan Yu.
Before the door of the infusion room went out, I saw Ruan's mother coming in from the outside, and when she saw them, she immediately smiled and said, "Jia Yue, I'm looking for you!" Oops, how do you take so many things? ”
"Hang the water cold, so I brought the blanket at home." Meng Jiayue replied with a smile.
Ruan Yu didn't speak, just looked at Meng Jiayue and Ruan's mother, you and I greeted each other. However, with Ruan's mother here, Meng Jiayue didn't have to pay for the hanging water, but all of a sudden, more than 100 yuan did not add the medicine money, which surprised Ruan Yu, she hung the hanging water in her hometown, and the most expensive was only a few dozen yuan.
But at the same time, Ruan Yu was also glad in her heart, fortunately, it was not Meng Jiayue who paid.
Because Ruan's mother was here, Ruan Yu didn't drink the milk tea, and Meng Jiayue was stopped before she could buy it, Ruan's mother directly said that she would go home and drink water, and resolutely refused to let Meng Jiayue pay for it, nor did she let Ruan Yu drink it. Ruan Yu naturally didn't dare to say that she wanted to drink, so she drooped her head and didn't speak, so she naturally didn't buy it in the end.
After returning home, Ruan Yu went to the toilet first, and took today's medicine, and after a while, he was sleepy and yawned, took off his clothes and went to bed, and only when he touched the scarf around his neck did he remember that he hadn't returned it to Meng Jiayue, but at this time Ruan Yu was already sleepy and couldn't think, and he was thinking about returning it to him tomorrow.
This illness Ruan Yu hung for three days, and Aunt Chen's fall at night also made her take a day off, limping for nearly a week, which made Ruan Yu feel guilty for a long time, and she went to see Aunt Chen whenever she was free in those days, even if it was just to talk to her.
However, Ruan's mother specially bought things like white fungus for Aunt Chen to make soup and drink, sometimes she sent it over, and sometimes she asked Ruan Yu to run errands on her behalf.
After a few days of New Year's Day arrived, according to the usual school every year to hold a New Year's Day party, each class has to put out a program, Meng Jiayue, the class leader has been busy with this since the early days, close to the festival in the days after class to run out, in the afternoon after school he can't go, but also follow the teacher to watch the class program rehearsal.
In this way, Ruan Yu basically can't see Meng Jiayue in school except for class, and she has no one else to play, she is alone, and after a long time, she came up with the idea of not wanting Meng Jiayue to be the class leader, but she didn't say it.
On the afternoon of the day before the New Year's Day holiday, the school did not have classes, and a New Year's Day party was held in the playground.
The distribution of the positions in the sixth grade is relatively close, Ruan Yu's class is the position of the physical education class leader, according to the order of physical education class, but after adjustment, the short ones are in front, and the girls are in front of the boys, but Ruan Yu is still alone in the back.
Because the first program was a small chorus of the sixth-year class, Meng Jiayue was no longer in the team after he arrived at the playground, and he would stay under the rostrum before the show started. The students who participated in the chorus in the class had already prepared in advance, and the head teacher asked the discipline class leader to manage the class discipline, and the students did not run around, so they also went to the rostrum.
It didn't take long for a burst of melodious music to sound on the rostrum, and four male and female hosts came to the stage, among which there was only one fifth-grader, and the others were all sixth-grade students of the school, one of whom was Zhang Xuemin. Ruan Yu heard Meng Jiayue say that the school teacher originally wanted him to be the host on stage, but he was reluctant to go, so he adjusted the person and replaced it with Zhang Xuemin.
The song of the first class chorus is a song praising the teacher's "Whenever I Walk Gently in Front of Your Window", the school uniforms worn by the students, three in the front and four in the back, standing in two rows, after the show, Meng Jiayue came back with the students who performed the show.
There are a total of three programs in a class, except for the chorus, the other two are in the back, so Meng Jiayue doesn't have to stay on the rostrum all the time, and not long after that, the head teacher also came.
Meng Jiayue also moved the bench, but he didn't sit for long before leaving, and the bench was also handed over to Ruan Yu, so that she could help watch it, and he would come to Ruan Yu as soon as he came back at this time.
Ruan Yu has always brought hand warmers (about the specific name of this thing, I originally wanted to write the warm sleeves directly, because I have been called warm sleeves since I was a child, and I checked it on Taobao, and there are all kinds of names, hand covers, hand warmers, hand warmers, and finally I was confused), at this time, my palms were hot and sweaty, and Meng Jiayue gave him the warm hands as soon as she came, although the weather was fine today, but after a cold wind blew on the rostrum for a while, Meng Jiayue's hands were indeed cold.
After covering her hands for a while, Meng Jiayue returned the things to Ruan Yu, and secretly handed her a toffee while no one was paying attention.
Ruan Yu didn't dare to eat the candy in her hand, for fear of being seen, so she hid it in her palm and rummaged back and forth, pretending to watch the show seriously, but in fact, she didn't know where she had gone.
Meng Jiayue didn't sit for long before he was called by the head teacher, because there was a problem with the costumes of the performance.
The next program in the class is the dance of the male and female partners, the costumes are rented outside, the male students wear small suits and bows, and the female students wear blazers with pleated plaid skirts, which are both eye-catching and beautiful. But it must be cold to wear only these in winter, so before the performance, they each put a thick layer of clothes on the outside of their clothes, but just now when a boy checked his clothes, he found that the bow tied around his neck was missing.
Everyone hurriedly helped around to see if there was anything missing, and those who reacted quickly checked their clothes, but another female classmate found that the buttons of her clothes were missing. The blazer they wore had only one button on it, and when it was gone, the placket of the whole dress would be wide open, and they would definitely throw it around when they did dance moves, which would definitely not work if they performed on stage.
This situation is even more urgent, and the head teacher can only ask the classmates to help find the button first, not only because he can't perform, but mainly because the costume is rented, so even if he just loses a button, he can't return it.
Fortunately, there are still five programs before it is the turn of the first class, and the head teacher plans to go to any teacher to find a button to sew and sew it for the time being, and it happens that the school teacher's apartment is close to the playground, so she immediately goes there to find the teacher to borrow a needlework button to see.
Meng Jiayue followed and searched for a long time, but did not find the button, but found the bow under the bench.
Seeing that the performances on the rostrum were finished one by one, and the buttons had not been found, the head teacher borrowed the needle and thread, but there were no extra buttons to take from the other teachers.
Seeing that the dance performance of the first class was about to come, the head teacher was in a hurry, and his brain was confused, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he could only say that the girl would not perform on stage.
At that time, the girl cried, and the scene suddenly became more chaotic, and finally because the number of people in the queue for the performance was fixed, there was one less girl, and the corresponding boy could not perform on stage, and even disrupted the pre-rehearsed position, so it didn't work at all.
The next program is their class, and it is estimated that it will not be too late to sew the button when it is found, so the head teacher called Meng Jiayue and said: "Meng Jiayue, you go to the rostrum first to say something, and the program of our class will be moved back." ”
Meng Jiayue didn't leave, but asked, "Teacher, do you have a pin there?" ”
"No, what about needles?" The head teacher drilled the tip of the horn for a while, and then reacted, hurriedly opened the needle box in his hand, and picked out the two thickest needles.
The head teacher immediately called the girl over and tried to pin the needle to the clothes on both sides of her, but after the don't go up, she found that it was okay if the person didn't move, as long as she moved it, because the needle was too slippery, the clothes would open immediately.
"I can't fix it." The head teacher frowned and tried several methods of pinning back and forth, but it didn't work, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, thought of a way, and hurriedly pulled open the thread ball in his hand and said: "I'll sew the clothes with thread first, and then cut them after the performance." ”
The head teacher pinched the thread and was about to thread the needle, when a girl suddenly said, "Teacher, is it okay to use beads to thread the needle?" As he spoke, he took out a few beads the size of a grain of rice from his pocket, and everyone was originally chattering around to find a way, but when they saw the beads, they immediately began to talk nonsense.
"With such a small bead, the needle will definitely not be able to penetrate it, teacher, you can try it."
"It should be okay to be so small, right?"
"It's much easier than sewing, and it's going to be us right away."
The head teacher thought it was okay when he saw it, and hurriedly pinched the beads and threaded them through the needle, from the tip of the needle from thin to thick, and when it slid to a third of the part, the beads were stuck.
"It's okay, it's fixed, remember to be careful when dancing." The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the beads hard into it again, and only let go when it was fixed and strong.
Hearing this, everyone immediately cheered, causing the surrounding classes to look here, and the singing program on the rostrum had just ended, the host came to the stage, and the next program was the dance of the first class.
