My throat was so dry that it felt like it was on fire. I held the water in my hand and didn't want to stop for half a minute.
It felt like there was a sledgehammer pounding on my head.
But for fear of being heard by people in the next room, Su Shu had to suppress her voice.
But when Zhang Fen came over to call her to eat the next day, Su Shu finally couldn't hide it anymore.
Zhang Fen listened to her hoarse cough and looked at her body temperature that came back up after going down last night. She immediately asked her next door neighbor to ask for a day off for her.
"What did the doctor say when you went to the hospital these two days?" Zhang Fen frowned, "Why is it getting worse after two days in the hospital?"
"I've taken medicine, maybe it's because of my physical condition, but the medicine doesn't have much effect." Su Shu felt a little guilty.
She was taking medicine, but it wasn't Zhang Fen who thought she had to go to the doctor for an injection or something like that, but she took some medicine herself.
Zhang Fen didn't think much about it and just sighed, "Your body is not strong enough."
The three children stood at the door and watched. When they heard what Zhang Fen said, their three little faces wrinkled and they also sighed.
After breakfast, Zhang Fen let the three children play. She took Su Shu to the hospital. Just like the previous two days, Su Shu asked Zhang Fen to go back first when she arrived at the hospital entrance, and she could go in by herself.
Zhang Fen thought for a while and said, "Then I'll buy some ribs. If I can get some fish or chicken or duck, that's fine. I need to stew you something to replenish your health."
All these things had to be gone as early as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be available if they went late, so when Zhang Fen saw Su Shu walk into the hospital, she rode her bicycle away and called her, telling her to ride to pick her up later.
The adults at home were not around, so the three children went downstairs to play. After a while, Grandma Jiang called them over to eat watermelon, and the three children went to Grandma Jiang's house.
"Grandma Jiang, we seemed to see Uncle Huang crying when we went downstairs in the morning." Liang Zhichao looked up at Grandma Jiang curiously and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Huang? Why is he crying?"
Grandma Jiang sighed and said, "Uncle Huang's mother is not in good health and he is sad."
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhiqiang nodded, "Mom is sick, and we are also sad."
"I heard Uncle Huang talking to others about buying a coffin for Grandma Huang. Why do you want to buy a coffin?" Liang Zhichao is a curious baby. He wants to know everything that is not within the scope of his knowledge.
"Because Grandma Huang is in poor health, Uncle Huang has to buy a coffin for his mother. This is what a son should do." Grandma Jiang explained.
"Does Grandma Huang like coffins?" Liang Zhiqiang also asked.
"Of course I like it. No mother would dislike the coffin her son bought for her. The person who bought the coffin for his mother is a filial son. The son is willing to spend money for his mother, and the mother is also happy." Grandma Jiang
He said matter-of-factly, "When the day comes that I will die, your Uncle Jiang will also have to buy me a coffin for me to lie in."
"The coffin is for lying on?" Yiyi exclaimed with wide eyes, "What are you doing lying in it? Lying in it to sleep?"
"Yes~ lie down and go to sleep~" Grandma Jiang laughed repeatedly when the child asked her innocent question.
But it's not wrong to say that. I just lay down and fell asleep, and then I didn't wake up.
"Is it comfortable to sleep in a coffin?" Liang Zhichao asked again.
"Then it must be comfortable. There is no more illness or pain in the body, so naturally it is comfortable." Grandma Jiang said, "Grandma Huang has been sick for more than a year, and she hasn't had much sleep since she became ill. Wait.
After entering the coffin, there will be no pain anymore."
"The coffin is so magical!" the three children exclaimed in unison.
Liang Zhichao asked hurriedly, "Grandma Jiang, is the coffin expensive?"
"There are some who make more than ten or twenty yuan, and some who make fifty or sixty yuan. It all depends on your son's filial piety." Grandma Jiang answered.
Liang Zhichao rolled his eyes, and then gave Liang Zhiqiang and Yi a look. The three children, who had a tacit understanding, quickly finished the watermelon, wiped their hands and mouths, and said goodbye to Grandma Jiang.
The three children returned home immediately, and Liang Zhichao said, "We also want to buy a coffin for our mother! We are our mother's sons, and we want to be our mother's filial sons. We want our mother to sleep happily in the coffin every day."
"But we have no money." Liang Zhiqiang was very troubled.
"I didn't bring my bankbook back from the farm." Yiyi was also troubled.
"Let's call dad and ask him to send us money!" Liang Zhichao, a clever little boy, ran to take out the pocket money the three of them had saved together. "This money is enough to call dad."
Su Shu gave only a few cents in change, but Liang Zhichao, Liang Zhiqiang and Zhang Fen gave a few dollars.
With the filial piety that they wanted to be filial sons and buy a coffin for their mother to sleep in, the three children mustered up the courage to step out of the family home and went to the post office hand in hand.
If not for Su Shu's good education, the three children have memorized the phone number of their father's work and know how to make a call.
The three children were rich, and the comrades at the post office saw that the three children knew how to use the telephone and remembered the numbers, so they felt relieved and let the three children call.
The call went directly to Liang Zhenguo's office, which was right next door. The comrade who answered the phone made a message, and Liang Zhenguo hurried over to answer the phone.
"Director Liang, it's your child who called." The comrade who answered the phone said with a smile.
Liang Zhenguo nodded and smiled happily, "Maybe my wife misses me."
After saying that, he took the phone and said, "Is it Zhichao? Mommy asked you to call daddy?"
"No~ Mom is not here." Liang Zhichao answered truthfully, and then said directly, "Dad, can you send us the pocket money we saved at home? If possible, dad, can you lend us a little money?"
"Why do you want money?" Liang Zhenguo didn't understand. "Didn't mom give you pocket money? Why do you still need to borrow money? What bad things are you doing without telling mom? If you don't obey me, I will beat you when you come back."
"Dad, we don't do bad things, we want to buy a coffin for mom~" Liang Zhichao shouted into the microphone angrily.
Liang Zhenguo on the other side of the phone was confused.
Two seconds later, he yelled, "What are you talking about? What are you buying! What are you buying for whom?"
"Grandma said that mother's health is not good. Grandma Jiang said that mother's son must buy a coffin for mother to be a filial son. We are mother's children, so we must buy a coffin for mother and be her filial son so that mother can lie down happily.
Sleep in a coffin so that your body won’t feel uncomfortable.”
Liang Zhenguo couldn't hold the microphone anymore. Every time the child said something, his heart would tremble.
I was shaking until my heart almost stopped beating, my eyes were red, and I could hardly speak.
After a long while, he asked tremblingly, "What's wrong with your mother?"
