Mrs. Su couldn't understand the resentment of the little baby. In fact, Tianbao had no expression on his face.
All in all, the old woman warned her that she was not allowed to wave her little hands casually in the future.
In Mrs. Su's understanding, everything has its own gains and losses.
The pears Tianbao gave them might have to be exchanged for something.
Then she would rather Tianbao was just an ordinary baby. Although her family was poor, she could always raise the baby with a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of water.
It is better to be happy and peaceful than to splash wealth and honor.
The sky outside the house is getting darker little by little, the wind and snow are still there, and the people who have gone out have not returned yet.
During this period, Mrs. Su looked out several times, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Su Wu's three noisy little kids gradually calmed down, and they would run outside the courtyard from time to time to see if there was any familiar figure at the end of the path.
A vague tension spread in the air, and even Tianbao felt depressed.
At night, an oil lamp lights up in the dilapidated courtyard. The light is like a bean, dim and warm.
There was movement outside the courtyard. The silent old and young people sitting by the brazier stood up and opened the ajar door of the main room to look out.
"Why are you coming back now? Don't you know it gets colder as the night goes on? If you can't sell the things, come back first. It's hard to walk at night and you don't have to fall into a ditch-" Old woman Su opened her mouth to scold her out of habit. When she saw clearly The scene at the entrance of the hospital, his face turned pale and his voice changed, "What is this?"
"Mom! My father fell!" Su Da carried Old Man Su in the door, both of them were in a state of embarrassment.
The people in the house immediately rushed to greet him. Su Er jumped up quickly and rushed to help carry his father into the house.
When Mrs. Su heard that her husband had fallen and saw that he was lying on her son's back without making any movement, she was so panicked that the soles of her feet became weak.
After entering the house and looking at my wife's appearance under the light, I almost couldn't stand.
The old man's skinny face was completely bloodless, and there were bruises on his cheekbones and forehead. His injured right leg was hanging weakly on the ground, unable to move.
Perhaps he realized that he had frightened his wife. Old man Su raised his head, tried his best to smile at the corner of his pale mouth, and said warmly, "Don't panic, I just accidentally fell down, it's nothing serious. Well, this is selling firewood in exchange for Take the half bag of noodles and put it away."
"The wooden cart skidded on the way back, and dad threw it in order to save the bag of noodles." Su Da said in a low voice, not daring to say more about the thrill at the time.
It was difficult to travel in the snow, and when they came back it was dark and it was even harder to see the road. The wooden cart skidded and rolled down the slope. Dad was almost hit in the head by the wooden cart trying to save the dough bag.
Old woman Su's eyes were red, and she tremblingly took the bag from the veined hand. Half a bag of flour was heavy inside, but she did not scold the old man for his life.
Because this bag of flour will be the family's ration for a long time.
What the old man is protecting is not the bag of flour, but the lives of his whole family.
"Boss, help your father get on the bed. Second brother, you go ask the doctor to make a pot of hot water." After sniffing, Mrs. Su had regained her composure when she spoke again, and her voice was still as strong and orderly as ever. , crisp and clear.
The old man who was carried into the room by his eldest son heard this and struggled with his neck in pain, "No need to ask a doctor, I'm fine, don't waste money in vain——"
"you shut up!"
"..."
Old man Su immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
The juniors each led their missions and dispersed.
Liu Yuelan struggled to get out of bed when she heard the conversation in the room. At this time, she was just walking out of the room with Tianbao in her arms. She was so frightened by the old woman's roar that she almost shrank back into the room.
From the oldest to the youngest, the Su family is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but they are afraid of their mother-in-law getting angry.
After her mother-in-law went to put away the flour bag, Liu Yuelan approached the door of her parents-in-law's room and asked worriedly, "Dad, how are you doing with your father-in-law?"
Old man Su was still shouting, "It's okay, it's okay! I'm worrying about everyone, how can I not know what's going on with me?"
Su Da, "Father, just shut up. Later, if Mom hears this, you will still be scolded. How can you be so strong at your age?"
The sound of slapping flesh suddenly sounded, "You bastard! Why did I tell you to come here on the way? I told you not to say anything, but when you come back, you will pour beans out of the bamboo tube! If you hadn't talked too much, I would have been scolded?!"
Liu Yuelan silently covered her daughter's ears, dumbfounded.
Since she couldn't get anything out of the question, Liu Yuelan went back to her room first.
Putting her daughter on the bed and tucking her quilt in, she rummaged under the low cabinet at the end of the bed for a moment and took out a small wooden box as big as the palm of her hand.
After sitting quietly by the bed and waiting for a while, the man was kicked out by his angry father-in-law. Liu Yuelan called the man into the room, opened the wooden box, took out a pair of silver earrings stored inside and handed it to him, "The doctor will be here later. You give me the medical fee and the medicine money. In this situation at home, my mother must be in a tight situation, and she is not someone who knows how to talk to her son and his wife, so you should be smarter."
Su Da looked at the pair of thin earrings with mixed emotions, "Daughter-in-law, this is your dowry..."
"I don't usually wear this thing. It's just a dead thing if I leave it. Okay, don't talk too much. How is your father-in-law's injury? Is it serious?"
Knowing his wife's kindness, Su Da gritted his teeth and accepted the earrings. The situation at home did not allow him to refuse, "Dad's leg injury is serious, the leg bone may be broken... Wife, I took these earrings, and I will definitely return them to you in the future." of."
"As a family, why don't you pay me back? You go and see your father-in-law. It's not convenient for me to go there."
"Um."
After the couple exchanged a few words, Su Da left, leaving only the couple in the room.
It's not quiet outside the room.
The three little ones were making a fuss because their grandpa was injured.
The adults were also busy inside and outside, boiling water, scrubbing the injured, and eating...
Liu Yuelan couldn't calm down, so she hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, as if she could find support in this way and feel more at ease, "Tianbao, grandpa is injured. You are a blessed baby. Mom prays with you. , let grandpa get better soon, okay?"
Tianbao blinked, not knowing how to pray.
He can't talk, walk or run. The only thing he can do is give pears.
But grandma didn't want the only thing she could give her.
People are so weird.
In the past, she wouldn't give anything that others wanted from her even if they stabbed her. Now she gives it voluntarily, and some people actually don't want it.
Why is the difference so big?
She looked at Aniang: "Teach me how to pray."
Grandma sighed and looked out the window, "I wonder if your second uncle has invited a doctor."
Tianbao: Don’t look at the window, look at me. Can I pray for you if I give you a pear?
Auntie, "I hope your grandpa's leg is okay. It will take a hundred days for the old man to suffer."
Tianbao: How do you pray?
Grandma, "Oh."
…
Mother-daughter communication fails.
Tianbao closed his eyes and plunged into space.
Sitting under the fruitful pear tree, Tian Bao held her chin in her little hands and looked up at the tree full of pears.
How to treat an injured leg? What to eat?
She had nothing but pears. Thinking about it this way, she actually couldn't help her grandpa with anything.
The old man who smiled when he looked at her and had kind eyes.
At this time, Tianbao suddenly felt that he was really useless.
Those in white coats in the laboratory studied her for several years. What a bunch of idiots.
