In the following days, the wife taught the child to read and write during the day, and at night when the child fell asleep, she picked up the lamp and made shoes for him. Broken Chapters is busy outside during the day, and at night he sits next to his wife to help out occasionally, or quietly watches them.

Day by day, his wife's condition deteriorated, and she continued her life with medicine. Three times a day, every few days, a doctor came, and the doctor's expression became heavier and heavier each time. The child was a little sensible, but he didn't feel right, and when he saw his father and the doctor go out, he quietly followed behind, while his mother fell into a deep sleep.

After walking out of the house for some distance, he asked the doctor out of context: "Doctor, how is my wife's condition?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "You also know that there is no cure for this disease, and taking medicine only plays a role in prolonging life, and this effect is not big." This is a lot of money, so you might as well give up and save some money for a good future for you and your children. ”

Out of context, he said: "Doctor, you prescribe medicine, I will find a way to deal with the money, and I will not owe you." ”

The doctor sighed: "Hey, her current condition, the previous prescription has not had much effect. It's a miracle that I can survive six months with the previous medicine, and I will have to change the prescription later, and maybe I can survive for two months. This is already the limit, and then it all depends on her desire to survive and belief. ”

Out of context, he said, "Thank you, doctor." He was very happy to see that the doctor was willing to prescribe medicine, and watched the doctor disappear into the distance.

When he turned around and was about to go back to the house, he saw his son standing behind him, with pearl-like tears in his clear eyes, quietly looking at his father. The father was still happy that the doctor was willing to prescribe medicine, but when he saw his son's tears, his own tears also leaked out like a dam bursting in a reservoir.

Squatted down out of chapter, wiped away his son's tears with his hands, and said, "You all know, accompany your mother well, she is also in pain, and it is for you and me that she has survived until now." But no one wiped away his tears, because he was the last wall.

The child nodded: "Well, let's sell everything that can be sold, grasp the medicine, and let the mother relieve some pain." ”

As soon as the father hugged the child, tears poured down and fell on the child's shoulder, crying silently: "Okay." ”

Actually, what else is there to sell, the family's two cows were sold two months ago, and several pigs were also sold last month, and all the money has been used up. There is nothing to sell, if you really want to talk about it, there is only this house and the worthless land.

In the following month, his wife was bedridden, coughing up blood from time to time, and her face was pale and haggard. But when she saw her husband and children, she still smiled happily, and she made shoes for her son as soon as she had a little strength. The child was not very sad on the surface, lively and jumping, talking and laughing, only secretly crying when he boiled medicine for his mother.

Intermittently brought medicine to her mother, who put down her shoes and drank slowly. Intermittently asked, "Mother, are these shoes made for me?"

After drinking it, my mother said, "Well, it's all made for you." ”

"But some of them are too big and too long, aren't they?"

The mother took out her shoes and said, "Those are the ones you wore when you were a little older, and these two pairs are your seventh birthday present, and you will be able to wear them soon." ”

"How big is it?"

"These two pairs were worn when you were eight years old, these two pairs were worn by you when you were nine years old, and this pair is eleven years old. "Mother is arranging for him one by one. "And this pair you're making is something you've worn since you turned twelve. ”

Intermittently playing with a pair of shoes, he said with satisfaction: "Oh." ”

The mother touched her intermittent head and said, "I don't have much time left, and I can't make many pairs." If you meet a girl who is willing to make you shoes in the future, you must cherish and treat her well. ”

Intermittently looked at her mother and replied seriously: "Well, I remember." Mother smiled.

After another three or four months, his wife also lost weight, but after all, she persevered until now with the belief of not giving up. That night, the child fell asleep and sat out of chapter by his wife's bed, who was still making shoes.

Out of context: "Don't do it again, these are enough for him to wear." ”

The wife was a little anxious and said, "I just wanted him to go further, but a strange phenomenon arose and I gave him the shoes he had when he was twelve." But further back, the shoes are always unsuccessful, either there is a problem here, or there is a problem, and it has failed twice. Why, is this the will of heaven, so difficult that he really can't survive the calamity of twelve?"

The husband was also a little anxious, but still comforted: "We can't be too greedy, this is already very good." Besides, it is also possible that his feet will not grow long until he is twelve years old. ”

The wife said, "Perhaps, my time has come, and tomorrow afternoon will be the time when he will be born, that is, he will be really seven years old." I can't get past that moment, or I'll get angry. I'll try one last time to see if I can get out of his twelve-year-old shoes, which are a bit big and can be worn from thirteen to fifteen. ”

The husband said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

They stayed up all night, during which his wife kept coughing up blood, and several times she almost collapsed, but the shoes were always in her hands, making her sit up again and again.

When the day dawned, the first rays of sunlight fell gently through the window on his wife's hand, and she finally collected the last stitch for her shoes. The shoes were finally made, which made both of them very happy, as if they had seen something, and laughed out loud.

The wife said, "It's done, the shoes have finally worked." Did you see that our children were able to survive the disaster?"

She held her shoes and shook them trembling in front of her husband's eyes, which also made her suddenly feel more energetic, better than ever, and she was almost able to get up and get out of bed.

"Well, I see, God still favors us after all. The husband had a premonition of something, and hurriedly went to call Intermittent, and after Intermittent came, he was also very happy to see that his mother was in good condition.

The wife said to the intermittent "You must see the good side of this world, do not complain about the heavens, do more good, accumulate more virtues, and maintain a beautiful and tolerant heart, so that your life will be beautiful." I have a lot to say to you, but I have done it all, life needs to be realized by myself, everything is beautiful. ”

I didn't know why my mother suddenly said this to me, but I wrote them down one by one and nodded in agreement.

The wife stretched out her arms, took her son into her arms, and said happily, "It's good to have you here." Now I have no regrets, I feel very satisfied, and I see hope. My time has come, I can only accompany you here, the road behind you is still very broad, there will be many people you care about, and people who care about you are by your side, and I am always by your side. ”

After that, the wife stopped talking, she smiled, stopped breathing, and did not feel anything wrong in her arms.

Breaking the chapter, he hugged the two of them into his arms, and tears flowed quietly. They hugged each other for a long time, but they didn't let go of each other, until they couldn't feel their mother's temperature intermittently, and they discovered this abnormality. He cried, cried very sadly, and the day he had been worried about had finally come, and today, he turned seven.
