Chapter 153: Seeing and Parting
Gao Fuquan also saw Yun Xiaoliu at this time, and rushed over with a strong whip, and without waiting for the horses under him to stand firmly, he jumped down, ran to him and shouted, "Boss, go back and save your life, the younger brothers and sisters of the Qian family are going to die." ”
"What?!" Ruixue was so shocked that she almost jumped up, pulled the curtains tightly, and asked in a loud voice, "I went to see her the night before, wasn't it okay!" ”
Gao Fuquan took two big breaths before saying, "I was suddenly going to give birth in the middle of the night last night, and I found a midwife and said that it was difficult to give birth, and I survived until this morning, and the child came down, but I'm afraid the adults will not be able to." ”
"Did you send most of the ginseng at home?"
"I sent it, it didn't work, and the doctor also invited it, and they all said that there was too much blood, and I was afraid it wouldn't work."
Ruixue's body was weak, Zhao Fengnian hurriedly took her into his arms and instructed Yun Xiaoliu, "Hurry up and go back to the village." ”
Yun Xiaoliu responded, and a whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the jujube red horse was in pain, raised his hooves and ran, and several children fell into a ball, their arms hit the wall of the car, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they rubbed themselves, and they were a little frightened in each other's eyes. Gao Fuquan also hit the horse and ran behind the car, galloping all the way to the village.
Ruixue shuddered, and her mind remembered the past.
Sister-in-law Zhang, Cui Niang and others are all enthusiastic and kind people, but after all, they haven't read a book, and there are always times when they can't make sense with her.
Only Sister-in-law Qian is gentle and knowledgeable, although the two don't see each other much on weekdays, they can talk very well. That day, Sister-in-law Qian was still embroidering a small belly pocket for her daughter, her face was full of love, and now she has just given birth to her daughter and is about to be separated from life and death, is there anything more tragic in the world?
Zhao Fengnian patted Ruixue's back gently, enduring the pain of the back collision, for fear that she would stumble to the halfest, he wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know where to start.
Ruixue sobbed in a low voice, "Why was you born so early, just in time for us to go out, if you are at home..."
"Even at home, there is no way, a woman giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and you are not a doctor, so you can't help anything except watch." Zhao Fengnian couldn't bear her to blame herself, and slowly persuaded her, after all, even if it was a fluke to save Lei Zi's daughter-in-law, no one was Da Luo Jinxian, and he saved a quasi-son.
Soon, the carriage turned off the official road, and the bumps were even worse, and when they entered the village, they ran directly to Qian's house in the south of the village.
There were dozens of people gathered in the small courtyard of the Qian family, all of them were neighbors, villagers who had good friends on weekdays, Aunt Yun and Cui Niang were also there, and when they saw the carriage arrive, they immediately rushed forward, opened the door and shouted, "Sister, you are finally back, the sister of the Qian family is waiting for you." ”
Aunt Yun's eyes were also red, she helped Ruixue get out of the car, and said in a low voice, "The doctor said no, she will wait for you to come back." ”
Rui Xue held back her tears, walked through the crowd, entered the door, the bloody breath choked her feet, and then looked at the house, Qian Heitan squatted on the side of the bed and sobbed, the sister-in-law Qian on the bed had messy hair, her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and her chest was slightly bent down, as if she would run out of breath at any time.
As soon as Qian Heitan saw Ruixue coming in, he immediately jumped up and shook his daughter-in-law's arm, and called, "Baby, mother, wake up, the boss lady is back, back!" After saying that, he cried loudly, knelt down in front of Ruixue, and begged, "Boss, she is hanging this breath, and she will wait for you to come back!" ”
Rui Xue's tears crackled down, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled Sister-in-law Qian's hand, "Sister-in-law... I am back. ”
Sister-in-law Qian slowly opened her eyes, and saw Rui Xue sitting beside her, a bright light suddenly burst out in her eyes, struggling to get up, Rui Xue hurriedly helped her and comforted, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's find the best doctor, eat the best ginseng, guarantee... It can get better. ”
Sister-in-law Qian poured a sigh of air in her throat for a long time before she spit out two words, "Child... Child! ”
Second Aunt Yun, who was following Rui Xue, immediately ran to the corner of the house, picked it up from Lei Zi's daughter-in-law's arms, sent it over, choked up and said, "I just ate osmanthus milk @ water and fell asleep." ”
Sister-in-law Qian hugged her, bowed her head and kissed her lovingly, tears finally hit the child's face, and whispered, "My... Daughter! ”
When the mother and daughter saw each other, they were about to be separated from each other, and everyone in the house couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they turned their heads to wipe their tears.
Sister-in-law Qian laboriously carried the child to Rui Xue, panting for a long time, but she couldn't speak, her eyes were staring at Rui Xue, full of hope.
Ruixue took it without hesitation, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this child will be my Qin Ruixue's goddaughter in the future, I will teach her to grow up, choose a husband's house for her, and buy her a dowry..."
Sister-in-law Qian's eyes were instantly overflowing with gratitude, and she reached out to pull the red rope around her neck and brought out a piece of jade pendant. Rui Xue hurriedly took it off for her and asked, "This is for the child?" ”
Sister-in-law Qian nodded, watched Rui Xue hang the jade pendant on the child's chest, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and finally glanced at her daughter's red little face, her body was soft, and she closed her eyes forever unwillingly.
The mother and daughter were connected, and the child seemed to know about the departure of his mother, and immediately cried, heartbreaking, accompanied by the sobbing of a room of people, the more poignant.
Rui Xue was stunned and hugged the child, was helped out of the house by Aunt Yun, called Cui Niang, and choked up, "I'll help dress and comb your hair, you take care of them." ”
Cui Niang nodded, wiped a handful of tears, and was just about to speak, when Zhao Fengnian stepped forward to help her, and said in a low voice, "Buy the coffin better, do it decently, and come out of the silver workshop." ”
It happened that Qian Heitan came out, and when he heard this, he cried and knelt down and kowtowed, Zhao Fengnian stretched out his hand to help him, "Take a break for half a month, you don't have to go to the workshop to do things, and the salary will be paid." ”
Second Uncle Yun dragged him aside to discuss building a spiritual shed, comprador coffins, burning paper and other things, Rui Xue relieved herself for a long time, felt much better, and returned to the Yun family with the child and Lei Zi's daughter-in-law.
The child was too young, she didn't even open her eyes, she fell asleep when she was tired of crying, Lei Zi's daughter-in-law settled her beside Tie Dan'er, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and whispered, "Boss, this child is too young, one or two are serving, just let me go here first." ”
Rui Xue nodded, "I don't know how to take care of it for a while, you and the second aunt are tired, your milk @ water to feed the two of them is afraid that it will not be enough to eat, so I will let people buy the goats that have cubs and come back." ”
As the two were talking, Aunt Yun came back with a bunch of small bedding and clothes, and sighed, "This is all made by the child's mother." ”
Lei Zi's daughter-in-law lightly changed the child and said in a low voice, "Qian Souzi also said before that when the child is born, I want the proprietress and Mr. to name it, but I didn't expect it... And so it goes. ”
"This child was born without a mother, and she has suffered all the hardships she has to suffer in her life, and I hope she will be fine in everything in the future, so she might as well be named Kexin." Ruixue touched the child's soft little hair, and felt more and more pity in her heart.
"Hearty? It's a good name, easy to remember and easy to pronounce. The Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law praised it, and Rui Xue sighed, "Auntie, I won't take care of the children, but in the future, I will always eat and sleep with Tie Dan in your house, and it will inevitably make you and Osmanthus suffer more. What does my aunt think? ”
"Then how can we do it, we also get along very well with Kexin's mother, and now we should help take care of Kexin more, how can we ask for your salary?" Second Aunt Yun immediately retorted, and Leizi's daughter-in-law also nodded.
Rui Xue waved her hand, "If you wait for three or five days, I won't speak, but when the child leaves, it will take half a year, and the time is too long, so don't shirk." I'm the child's godmother, listen to me. ”
Second Aunt Yun was about to excuse herself, but when she saw that her eyes were red and swollen and her face was dull, she nodded.
Rui Xue quit them and walked home slowly, Zhao Fengnian took her in and wiped her face, Rui Xue told what happened just now, Zhao Fengnian said, "Originally, I also wanted to persuade you to do this, the Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all proficient, it is better than you to take care of them, send more food in the future, and take it back when you grow up." ”
The husband and wife discussed for a while, then went to the front yard to find Zhang Dahe, and took the silver for him to go to the villages to collect dairy goats. In the evening, I finally found it in Xiaopingshan, pulled it back with a carriage, and sent it to the Yun family, Second Uncle Yun squeezed a small half pot with his hands, Rui Xue cooked it by himself, and fed it to the two children little by little with a small spoon, fortunately, the two children did not dislike it, and they drank it very sweetly, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
For two days in a row, the workshop was busy, Zhang Dahe, Gao Fuquan, and Cui Niang all went to Qian's house to help, and the funeral shed was erected, and the villagers went to burn paper, and Qian's sister-in-law did not have a mother's family, and the funeral was much simpler.
When it was time for the funeral, Qian Heitan hugged his daughter who was still sleeping in swaddling clothes, walked in front of the coffin, crying like a tearful child, and the whole village was full of sighs.
A good place for the rising sun was chosen on the east mountain, a grave pit was dug, a coffin was lowered, a grave bag was raised, and yellow paper money was scattered everywhere, and a woman was buried in the cold ground.
Rui Xue stood beside the grave with the child in her arms, was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I named the child Kexin, which means that everything goes well, you have a spirit in the sky, so bless her to grow up healthy." After saying that, she turned around and went down the mountain with Cui Niang.
Qian Heitan lay in front of the grave and refused to leave, but was forcibly helped up by the villagers and left, leaving only the grave bag standing alone on the hill.
Since then, Rui Xue has been running more frequently at Yun's house, going once in the morning after dinner, once before going to bed at night, and taking a look whenever she has free time during the day.
Chicken, fish, meat and eggs, soft cotton fabrics, small rattles and other toys, sent baskets after baskets, sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang also often make some small clothes and hats, in short, a lovely little girl, as a treasure in general.
Qian Heitan rested at home for less than five days, and then returned to the workshop, and everyone persuaded him to rest again, but he said that there was space at home, and it was not as lively as the workshop.
When Cui Niang heard this, her face was not good, Rui Xue didn't understand what she meant, so she dragged her to the backyard, Cui Niang said, "But no man who has lost his daughter-in-law has been able to keep March, but my father said this, I'm afraid I will marry a new person soon." ”
"Sister-in-law Qian hasn't burned Sanqi yet, but her heart hasn't been full yet, how can he marry again?" How good Qian Heitan is to his daughter-in-law, Rui Xue knows, and she doesn't want to believe it, Qian Heitan has not arrived a month after her death now, and Qian Heitan is tempted to find a new daughter-in-law!
