Chapter Seventy-Four: Qu Ma's Accidental Fall

That night, Qu Sha Sha had a nightmare.

In her dream, she was running around the empty school building, as if something terrible had been chasing her closely.

As she ran, she looked back in horror and saw that they were two giant monsters screaming, one called "Math will never fail" and the other called "Four years of blank knowledge to be filled".

Qu staggered and ran, and finally hid in a large, brightly lit classroom.

She gasped for breath and weaved through the surprisingly long rows of tables and chairs, searching for something.

Suddenly, the lights in the classroom went out, and all the doors and windows closed automatically.

Qu Shao was so frightened that he stood in place and didn't dare to move. Then she noticed that the podium in front of her was lit up with a flickering light.

Pei Yue's face emerged from the light and shadow, and she pointed to the math problems full of blackboards behind her expressionlessly, telling her that she couldn't escape, she had to finish all the math problems, and if she did it wrong, she would have to accept a terrible punishment......

At dawn, Qu Shao woke up in fright, sweating all over his head.

She sat up from her bed, gasping for breath in horror, and it took a while for her strength to recover.

It's scary, isn't it...... Thankfully, it's just a dream.

As soon as the sky was bright, there was a slight noise in the courtyard outside, and Qu Ma, who had gotten up early, was tinkering with something in the storage room.

Qu shook and sat on the bed for a while, feeling that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply got out of bed and got dressed and went to the yard to help.

The storage room in the Qu family's courtyard was originally the place used by Qu's mother to store empty fruit baskets, but Qu Shao pushed the door and went in only to find that it had been stuffed with boxes of fruit inside.

Qu's mother was riding a ladder, up and down to move boxes of fruit off the shelves, and then put them on the trolley.

The dim chandelier imprinted on Qu's mother's face, dyeing the beads of sweat on her forehead with a layer of hard work. She turned her head and was startled to see Qu Shaoyao come in.

"Shake ??? You got up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer? ”

Qu Shao looked at her suspiciously: "Mom, why did you bring all the fruits home??" ”

Qu's mother reached for the boxes of fruit placed on the top of the shelf.

"Isn't there a rat in the store lately? I was afraid that the unsold fruit would be spoiled by rats in the store, so I moved it all back. ”

"Both...... All moving back? ”

Qu Shao unconsciously raised his voice a little: "Mom, don't you have to move to the store again every morning?!" There are so many goods, so big and heavy, you have to move back and forth twice a day, it's too hard! Mom, don't forget that you still have an old wound on your waist?! The doctor said you can't lift heavy loads anymore......"

"I know, I know! You kid, don't babble early in the morning, okay? I know ......"

Qu's mother carried a large box of fruits and swayed down from the ladder. Qu Shao didn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but Qu's mother didn't let her help.

"Go, go, I don't need your help, I can do it myself."

She insisted on coming by herself, took the box of fruit and put it on the cart, straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Alright, alright, don't stay in this pantry! It's small and stuffy...... It's rare that you don't have to go to school on Sunday, so you hurry back and sleep for half an hour, and I'll make breakfast and wake you up later. ”

After Qu Ma finished speaking, she turned around and climbed the ladder again to carry the last box in the corner.

How could Qu Shaoyao go back to sleep again, she saw Qu's mother standing on the ladder tiptoe to carry a box of fruit in the corner, and she was in a hurry.

"Mom, come down, let me come! The light in that corner above is too dim for you to see clearly......"

Qu Ma: "Who said I couldn't see clearly-"

Before she could finish speaking, it was as if she had suddenly stepped on the air, lost her balance, and rolled off the ladder.

The whole box of fruit tumbled and fell, all of which fell on top of her.

"Mom——!!"

Qu Shao was stupid and shouted and pounced.

Five minutes later, she ran into the alley crying and knocked on the door of Jiang Jingcheng and Xia Chengxi's house.

Jiang Jingcheng's father came in clothes, and together with Jiang Jingcheng in pajamas, he helped Qu Shao's mother up and hugged Xia Chengxi's mother's car.

Several people worked together to send the person to the hospital, hung up an emergency room, took films and did examinations, and tossed all morning.

Fortunately, the results of the examination showed that Qu's mother only had a slight bone crack and did not fall into other problems, so everyone was relieved.

But the doctor said that the old injury on Qu's mother's waist recurred more seriously, and she had to be hospitalized for a few days to recuperate.

Qu's mother refused at first, and said that she would be discharged from the hospital in a fuss.

"I know my own body, what kind of hospital do I live in? Waste of money. Don't you have to do business at home? If you don't sell so many fruits, they'll rot...... And there are several regular customers who order fruit every day, so I can't ignore it......"

Qu Shao was so anxious that she couldn't help it, she didn't listen to what Qu's mother said, and in the end, it was Xia Chengxi's mother who came out to persuade people.

"Ah Xiu, don't blame me for saying you, you're really messed up! I knew I had an old wound on my waist...... Still moving such heavy goods? You really think you're iron, aren't you? As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, and if you are injured, you should listen to the doctor's words and raise it in the hospital. If nothing else, you also have to think about the child, look at the shake, what kind of rush has you just become? ”

Qu's mother sighed heavily.

"I see what you mean, Sister Joan. But I can't help it, you also know the situation in our family, you have to stop talking...... It's just the beginning of the year, and there are so many people in the store who need to be there, why do you think I fell and lay here? Alas, I knew I wouldn't have moved the last box of goods this morning, wouldn't it have been this trip? You say I, why am I so careless? ”

She hammered her palm in frustration.

Xia Ma patted her hand lightly and said with relief:

"Alright, alright...... Now that you live in, you don't have to think about it so much, the most important thing now is to take care of your illness......"

Qu Shaoyao and Xia Chengxi were eavesdropping at the door, they had just been supported by Xia's mother for a reason.

At this moment, I heard Qu Ma's voice in the ward gradually lower, and the two exchanged a knowing look, understanding that this meant persuasion.

"Tsk, it has to be your mother, I can get my mother done as soon as I get out......"

Qu shook his thumbs up at Xia Chengxi: "Godmother, yyds!" ”

Xia Chengxi glanced at her, "Now you're relieved, right?" Don't say anything stupid about taking time off to go home and sell fruit, right? ”

Qu shook "hehe" and smirked, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
