Chapter 90: I Dream of Daddy Again
Xiao Kunu listened to what the doctor said and knew that Liu Mu Nan was indeed no longer in danger of life. Looking at Liu Mu Nan lying quietly on the hospital bed, although she still had some worries in her heart, she was no longer anxious.
After Liu Munan fell off the scaffolding at the construction site, Liu Laogui, the foreman, immediately called a few workers and hurriedly sent him to the hospital with a truck pulling materials on the construction site. Fortunately, Liu Mu Nan fell down from a place not very high above the ground that day, and happened to fall on that pile of sand, although there were multiple fractures and contusions, and there was a severe concussion, and when he was sent to the emergency room, he was in a coma, but the doctor diagnosed that it was not life-threatening after examination.
After the operation, the foreman Liu Laogui asked the neighbor who worked with Liu Munan to tell Xiao Kunu. At that time, Xiao Kunu didn't know how serious and dangerous Liu Munan's injuries were, thinking that he had fallen from the scaffolding, nothing was a big deal, and she hitchhiked to the hospital without having time to say hello to Liu Caogu.
After Xiao Kunu arrived at the hospital, she saw the unconscious appearance of Liu Mu man lying on the hospital bed, she panicked, and tears continued to flow. She thought that although she and Liu Mu Nan had no children, when they were old, she and Liu Mu Nan would still have a mutual dependence. If something happened to him, what should he do? Her parents are gone, and although her two older brothers are still taking care of themselves as they did before they got married, they have their own homes after all, and it is impossible for her to rely on them.
Liu Laogui, the foreman, was a little harsh on the workers on weekdays, but after the accident, he was still very responsible. After sending Liu Munan to the hospital in time, he arranged for two workers to accompany him throughout the process. It wasn't until Xiao Kunu came that he let the two workers go back to the construction site.
The foreman Liu Laogui looked at Xiao Kunu and said, "Big sister, you can relax, you can't blame Liu Mu Nan for this matter." I have already investigated clearly, it was Pan Ergou, the little foreman with him, who did it, and I must fire him. Liu Mu Nan is a very good person, he is also very honest, and he is very able to endure hardships. I will not let such a worker suffer. Even if you put your heart in your stomach, I will cover all the medical expenses, and I will also pay him the salary during the period of recuperation. ”
Although Xiao Kunu listened to Liu Laogui's words very sincerely, she still said with some unease: "How can you make me believe what you say?" Can you write something for me? ”
Liu Laogui, the foreman, didn't like women doubting him the most, so he readily agreed: "That's okay." Big sister, I will write whatever you say. The foreman Liu Laogui agreed, and at the same time took out a piece of paper and a pen from the leather bag he was carrying, wrote two lines crookedly and handed them to Xiao Kunu.
After reading what he wrote, Xiao Kunu said with confidence: "As long as you agree to be fully responsible." You're the boss, sign it for me. ”
The big foreman Liu Laogui said with a smile: "Big sister, you can call me the big foreman, or Liu Laogui, you can call me by my nickname, my nickname is Datou." As he spoke, he took the note of assurance and signed his name crookedly.
When Liu Laogui handed the note to Xiao Kunu, his eyes were staring at Xiao Kunu's plump figure, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Big sister, I don't know what your surname is, can you tell me?" It is also convenient to contact you in the future. ”
Xiao Kunu told him: "My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Kunu." ”
The foreman Liu Laogui laughed: "What a coincidence, my cousin is also surnamed Xiao, it turns out that we can also be regarded as relatives." Then I'll call you Sister Xiao from now on. Sister Xiao, I heard that you don't have children yet, won't you? I think it's okay for you to give birth to ten or eight in this body? ”
Xiao Kunu's face turned red, and she was embarrassed to say anything to him, so she turned her head to look away. The big foreman Liu Laogui was reluctant to look away, and continued to say with interest: "When Liu Mu Nan is well, I will teach him in person, and I will ensure that you will give birth to a fat boy smoothly." Liu Laogui, the foreman, said with a sound in his throat and swallowed again.
Xiao Kunu still didn't speak, and the big foreman Liu Laogui looked at her stupidly and said: "Then I'll go first, there are many things on the construction site waiting for me to deal with, I'll come to see you again when I have time, ah, it's to come to see Liu Munan again, and then come to see you." ”
Xiao Kunu felt that the big foreman Liu was not bad, and she had heard some of the same things, but the result was completely different.
Huang Laogen, who also works as a bricklayer in a neighboring village, was injured by a steel bar while working on a construction site. After resting for more than half a year, not only did I not get the medical expenses from my boss, but I also didn't get my salary for work.
The boss said that it was caused by Huang Laogen's non-compliance with the regulations, and said that it was good that Huang Laogen was not allowed to compensate for the losses on the construction site, and that Huang Laogen's injuries could only be borne by himself. Huang Laogen had no choice, and in order to get justice, he had to start a lawsuit with the boss. In contrast, the big foreman Liu Laogui is much more talkative. However, thinking of the eyes of the big foreman Liu Laogui looking at him, Xiao Kunu's face was a little uncomfortable.
She thought in her heart that what the foreman Liu Laogui said was not wrong, she should have had her own children a long time ago, and she should have had the happiness of being a mother a long time ago. However, such an ordinary wish was as unattainable to her as the moon in the sky.
No one could understand the pain in her heart, although the big foreman Liu Laogui looked at her with a look that made her a little embarrassed, but what he said made her feel comforted. The man seemed to be able to see that it was not her fault that she didn't have children.
Xiao Kunu was sometimes tired when working in the fields, and when she sat alone on the ridge to rest, she occasionally thought that if she married another man, she should have her children around her knees now, but fate did not follow her wishes. It's all because my father and father-in-law used to be comrades-in-arms who were friends of life and death, and they wanted to let their children become husband and wife together, and there would be more movement between the two comrades-in-arms in the future.
For her father's ordinary wish, she couldn't say a reason to refuse. Of course, Liu Mu Nan can't object, he is the adopted son of his father-in-law, and he can't find a reason not to accept this ready-made good thing arranged by his elders.
Because she did not reach the legal age of marriage, when her father-in-law was dying, he did not see her marry and become his daughter-in-law, which became a regret for her father, and there was no reason to oppose her father's decision. She and Yanagi Nan are together, not because of love, but because of the friendship of their fathers.
Liu Mu Nan turned over, and Xiao Kunu saw that he was awake, so she wanted to talk to him and comfort him. Seeing that he turned his face to the side and fell asleep again, he silently helped him pull back the quilt that had fallen to the side, pulled it again, and after covering the quilt, he sat on the edge of the hospital bed in a daze.
She and Liu Mu Nan have been living together for almost ten years, and whether there is love or not, there must be a kind of family affection. She didn't think about leaving him, but when she thought that she had never been able to conceive a child, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. Looking at other people's lovely children, looking at the stones and pomegranates of Liu Caogu and what kind of husband, she wanted to have a child of her own. She imagined her child calling her mother, and a kind of maternal love poured out of her heart, making her smile full of happiness.
One evening, it was raining lightly outside, and when Xiao Kunu and Liu Mu Nan were at home and had dinner face to face, Xiao Kunu thought about it and smiled unconsciously. Liu Mu Nan looked at her and laughed out loud for no reason, so he looked at her with some confusion and asked, "What good things do you remember?" Laughing so happily, say it for me to hear. ”
Xiao Kunu didn't want to hurt him, so he said lightly: "It's nothing." ”
Of course, Liu Mu Nan didn't believe it, so he asked reluctantly: "No, you must have something good to hide from me, say it, and let me be happy with you." The more Xiao Kunu refused to speak, the more Liu Mu Nan asked relentlessly.
Looking at Liu Munan's suspicious face, Xiao Kunu sighed, and had to tell him with a helpless wry smile: "I'm just thinking, we have our own child, and the way the child is nursing in my arms must be very cute, and the child will definitely be coquettish, will definitely cry, and will also call dad and mom." ”
The smile that Yanagi Nan had piled up on his face collapsed instantly, and he silently put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and fumbled for a cigarette from his pocket. It took a few matches to finally light it, and I took a deep breath and swallowed it all, not a trace of smoke coming out of the corners of my mouth or nostrils. After a while, Xiao Kunu watched him walk out of the yard alone, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Since then, Xiao Kunu will never talk about children in front of Liu Mu Nan, only when she is alone, she will imagine the appearance of her child in loneliness, and imagine her happiness after becoming a mother.
"Worries you." Liu Mu Nan finally turned sideways, looked at Xiao Kunu who was sitting on the edge of his hospital bed in a daze, and said a word softly.
Xiao Kunu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank God, you're fine." I really wanted to burn incense and bow down to the pile of sand, but the foreman said that the pile of sand had been built into the wall with cement. I think, when you are healed from your injuries and discharged from the hospital, let's go to Dad's grave to burn incense, and Dad must be protecting you in the dark. Dad had a good relationship with the old monk during his lifetime, and you also did good deeds for the old monk, saying that the old monk is the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, and it is also a miracle that you can escape such a danger when you encounter such a danger. ”
Liu Mu Nan sighed slowly, and he remembered the strange dreams he had before he woke up: "I dreamed of an old monk, and he talked to me a lot, I couldn't understand it, and I couldn't remember it. I also dreamed of my father, who was very unhappy and scolded me, saying that I was not filial and that I was not worthy. I've been lying here for the past few days, and I've thought about a lot of things, thinking that I'm really unfilial, and I'm not worthy of being my father's son, and I don't have three unfilial pieties, and I know it, there's no way, I ......"
In the past few days when Liu Mu Nan was in a coma, Xiao Kunu thought about a lot of things, and she felt that as long as Liu Mu Nan could live peacefully, it would be better than anything else. Even if there are no children, two people can live together and depend on each other, and they are not alone. Seeing Liu Munan's sad appearance, she quietly turned her back and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
