Chapter VI Disease

That night I was so tired from the day, so I slept quickly. When I woke up the next morning, I was left alone in bed.

I got dressed and got out of bed and looked at the clock on the wall, it was past nine o'clock. At this time, my sister came in, and when she saw that I was up, she asked me to wash my face and brush my teeth and eat.

After I had washed it, I went into the small grass hut and saw her serving porridge, so I asked her, "Where have my aunt and my grandmother gone?" ”

"My mother took my mother to see a doctor, my brother went to the pear orchard, you hurry up and eat, and my sister will take you to the pear orchard later!"

"Well, good!" I nodded and ate quickly. Then I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with my sister, and she locked the door and led me to the pear orchard.

It was the first time I went down to the pear orchard, and looking at the countless pear trees and the trees full of pears, I really felt amazing.

Because we don't have fruit trees there, even if we do, we only plant a few in front of our house, because we don't know how to manage them, and we can't bear a few fruits at a time.

Therefore, the fruits eaten are bought on the street. And our family is so poor, those things are a luxury for me.

Even the fruit at that time was not expensive.

"This is our pear orchard, look at this first big pear tree, you haven't seen anything bigger than it all the way, right? So our pear orchard is very recognizable! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, and looked into the tree, but I didn't see my brother. "Why didn't you see my brother?"

"He's in there!" My sister said, and then led me inside.

"There are so many pears on the ground, why don't you pick them up?" I watched as many pears had fallen from under each pear tree, and I was really distressed.

"I can't sell the ones on the tree, and I still pick them up under the tree!" My sister said, and then I saw a small nunnery with a bed not far in front of me.

Before we could get closer, my brother saw us and came out of the nunnery.

I can't remember the details of the scene, but I remember that my brother and sister picked a lot of pears. Then they told me which one was the best, and I ate all the delicious pears.

Later, it seems that I had diarrhea.

I didn't stay there long, it seemed like three or four days. Grandma's test results came out, it was gallstones and needed surgery.

I didn't know what gallstones were at the time, and I didn't know until later that I had stones in my stomach. I wondered, how can there be stones in my stomach?

I was going to start school, so I went back with my aunt, and she took me back on her bicycle.

I remember when we went back, my dad was piling peanuts in front of the house. When he saw me and my aunt coming back, he didn't speak.

Later, my aunt parked the car and walked up to him, and I followed him, and I heard my aunt tell him about my grandmother's situation.

Dad was silent for a few seconds, and then said, how can you have surgery at such an age?

But my aunt said, how can I get it without surgery? Such a big stone can't be shaken, is it hard to watch her die of pain?

Finally, ask him, "Can you show me?" ”

"My mother, I don't want to show it, who will show it? Do you count on you and Xiaomao? Either die quickly! "After saying that, he cried, I don't know why my father cried at that time, was it because he was afraid? Or is it something else?

Then he handed me over to my grandfather and uncle, and asked them to take me for two days, and he was going to my aunt's house. I also explained that I had to feed the sheep grass and drink water on time, and I had nothing to do to pick peanuts. I nodded obediently and told him I understood.

In the days of waiting, there was no doubt that I was anxious, although I didn't know what anxiety was at the time. But I clearly felt the change in my heart, and I knew that it was not only worry, but also fear.

Dad didn't go for long. He came back two days later. But I distinctly felt that he seemed to be haggard. He began to borrow money everywhere and beg people everywhere.

I know he's having a hard time, because it's really hard to ask for help, especially after you open your mouth, and others find all kinds of reasons to prevaricate you.

Although my grandmother now has three children, for various reasons, the final burden falls on my father's shoulders alone.

As for those reasons, no one has long since pursued them, because they don't matter anymore......
