Chapter 26
"Go quickly." Lu Niandong waved his hand, stood up, looked at the thin figure, and sighed in his heart. Mu Xiu was young and knew that making money to take care of her family. The poor life did not extinguish her love for life. She smiled every day and could face it calmly no matter what she did. This quality is really rare and precious.
"Mom, stop sewing, I said, just take good care of your sister. You are still in confinement. How can you not care about yourself like this? You are so tired of your eyes and be careful not to see clearly in the future." Mu Xiu returned to the ward and saw Zhou Shuilian sewing Mu Xiaohua's diapers that she didn't wear together to make a urine pad.
She stepped forward and took the needle and thread from Zhou Shuilian's hand, put it under the bedside table, and looked at her sleeping sister. Although she was still covered in yellow all over, it was obviously much lighter than the previous few days.
Mu Xiu turned around and brought out the rice and braised pork from the lunch box. "Mom, let's have a meal."
Zhou Shuilian stood up and stretched her limbs first. Shortly after Mu Xiu left the ward in the morning, she woke up. On the bedside table, there was a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and an egg. She knew that it was the rice her daughter left for her. Zhou Shuilian was only willing to finish the porridge and keep the steamed buns and prepare to eat them for lunch. After all, in the hospital, she could save one minute if she could treat her younger daughter.
After Zhou Shuilian finished drinking the porridge, she picked up the needle and thread borrowed from the nurse's desk and began to sew the worn diapers. She would not have to always wet the bed sheets when she was placed under Mu Xiaohua's body.
"Why is it meat? Show, where did you get the money?" Zhou Shuilian smelled the fragrance and looked at it. She found that the side table was braised pork that might not be eaten during the Chinese New Year. She was shocked and her face turned ugly.
Zhou Shuilian grabbed Mu Xiu and whispered anxiously: "Xiu, mom knows that we haven't eaten meat for a long time. Mom is sorry for you. Although our family is poor, we can't do it. Where did you get this meat? Mom will admit your mistake to others."
Looking at Zhou Shuilian's anxious look, Mu Xiu felt a warm feeling in her heart. This mother is good at everything, but she is too weak.
"Mom, who do you think of me? I bought this meat."
"What did you buy? Where did you get the money?" Zhou Shuilian felt a little relieved when she heard that the meat was not stolen. However, suddenly she thought of something and looked at Mu Xiu in disbelief, her eyes full of pain, "Xiu, whose money did you stolen?"
Mu Xiu: "..."
"Mom, stop guessing, let me tell you, when I was cooking for you a few days ago..." Mu Xiu looked at Zhou Shuilian's sweat, and she quickly explained everything that had happened these days.
"Grandpa Lu said that he has packed all the food we eat. This is the wages given by Grandpa Lu, mother, look." After Mu Xiu finished explaining, he took out the remaining money from his clothes and handed it to Zhou Shuilian.
"My sister's medical expenses are 40. I have paid them up. There are still 39 yuan here. If my sister doesn't have to buy blood tomorrow, this money will be enough to support my father."
"Oh my God, the Lu family should be so rich. I gave you so much money." Zhou Shuilian looked at the money in her hand in disbelief. It was a huge sum of money. In addition to treating her younger daughter and borrowing that little money, this was the second time she had touched so much money.
"Shh, whisper, Grandpa Lu is pitying us, so he gives such a high salary. The family is not short of money. Don't talk around and cause any trouble for Grandpa Lu." Mu Xiu explained Zhou Shuilian with a serious expression.
Zhou Shuilian naturally would not doubt her, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, "If you don't say it, I won't say it."
"Then let's have a meal." Mu Xiu knew that her mother was timid, so she wouldn't ask more questions after she scared her.
Zhou Shuilian sat down obediently and started eating with Mu Xiu. She did not forget to remind her: "Xiu, you can take good care of your Grandpa Lu in the future. People are kind to us, so we must remember to be grateful."
"Then you have to promise me that you can have a good meal, otherwise, if you are too tired and fall down, your sister will be left without anyone to take care of you." Mu Xiu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Zhou Shuilian's bowl.
"Okay, you can eat more, just try it."
"Mother" Mu Xiu deliberately turned cold.
"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." Zhou Shuilian lowered her head to eat, but a deep sense of relief arose in her heart. Her daughter has grown up and is still so considerate.
Just when the mother and daughter were having fun, the mother who was accompanying her bed No. 2 also prepared the meal. She smelled the scent of her nose at the door of the ward. When she walked into the ward, she saw Zhou Shuilian and her daughter gathering together to eat a large plate of steaming braised pork, and her eyes immediately stared.
The mother and daughter said in the morning that they didn’t have money to pay the hospitalization fee, so why did they even eat braised pork in this short time? Tsk tsk, such a large plate, at least one pound of meat can be cooked...
Li Yue thoughtfully took the food she had made and handed it to her son Xiaogang who had just woken up.
Xiaogang smelled the aroma of meat as soon as he woke up. He thought Li Yue had beaten him with meat, and took the bowl with anticipation. But what he saw was scrambled eggs with loofah. He looked around and saw that bed 3 next door was eating a large plate of greasy braised pork. Xiaogang swallowed, pushed the bowl away and said to Li Yue: "Mom, I want to eat meat, I don't eat this!"
"Be good, there are eggs here, and eggs are delicious." Li Yue hurriedly coaxed Xiaogang and pushed his job over.
"If you don't eat, don't eat. I don't want to eat eggs. I want to eat meat. I want to eat meat!" Xiaogang was just a four-year-old child after all. He was now thinking about eating meat. When he heard that his request was rejected, he slapped over and knocked over the bowl. The scrambled eggs from loofah and the rice covered underneath were all scattered on the ground.
"Pa" Li Yue slapped Xiaogang in the face with a slap, then quickly squatted down and slapped the food on the ground into the bowl with his hands. Xiaogang's meat was slapped again when he couldn't eat it, and he immediately burst into tears with sadness.
"Li Yue, what are you doing?" Xiaogang's father Yang Wei changed shifts with someone to take care of the children when Xiaogang was hospitalized. When Mu Xiu and the others first moved in, Xiaogang's fracture was stabilized and he relied on raising him.
Yang Wei hurried back to work in the Agricultural Bureau. He was busy with the work he still owed these days. He only took time out until today. He quickly came to the hospital to see his son. As a result, he saw his son crying with a swollen face.
"He was too useless, throwing eggs and rice to the ground." Li Yue had no job, so she always felt that Yang Wei was down. Seeing Yang Wei get angry, she quickly explained.
"Dad, I want to eat meat, I want to eat braised pork." Xiaogang pointed at Mu Xiu in tears.
