While Mrs. Feng was scolding her, her eldest granddaughter Li Lamei came over and said, "Mistress, I'm going to pull a radish from the field." While Mrs. Feng was quarreling with Li Yougui and Du Chunxia, Li Lamei had been cooking in the kitchen, and she came out now. I want to pull a radish from the ground and mix it into shredded radish for rice.
Mrs. Feng scolded her again: "If you go to the fields to pull radishes, who will cook the food at home?"
Li Xiangyecao replied: "The fragrant leaves are burning."
Mrs. Feng said reluctantly: "Let your mother pull out the carrots. You still want to go back to the house to dig up the corpse in such a busy day."
Li Xiangye dared to talk back, and responded: "Okay, I'll go call my mother right away."
Li Xiangye just took a step forward when Mrs. Feng yelled again: "The pigs at home are still waiting to be eaten. If I call your mother, you can go to the mountain to cut some pig grass and feed it to the pigs. You will not worry about it all day long."
Li Xiangye said "Oh" in reply.
Mrs. Feng's family lived in the middle of the village. Her loud voice could be heard clearly by the surrounding neighbors. Not only the neighbors heard it clearly, but Li Dagang was also woken up by his grandma's loud voice. He turned over impatiently, but the sound in his ears became louder and louder. Just like yesterday, he was no longer disturbed by the noise. Feeling sleepy, he rolled over and yelled at Mrs. Feng: "Are you going to let me sleep anymore?"
When Mrs. Feng saw Li Dagang getting up, her face, which was as dark as a dark cloud, suddenly brightened up, and a smile appeared on her face. She asked with concern: "Why don't you sleep more, the meal is not ready yet, it's so early." What are you doing up?"
Li Dagang had the same temper as his grandma, and he also shouted loudly: "I heard you making noises so early in the morning, how can you let people sleep?"
As soon as Mrs. Feng heard that Li Dagang blamed herself for disturbing her, she began to blame Du Chunxia again in her heart, blaming that damn woman. She said kindly to Li Dagang: "Okay, let's stop fussing. You can go back to the house to sleep." Yes, wait until that damn girl Xiangye prepares the meal, then Nai will come and wake you up."
At this time, Li Dagang was completely self-centered like Mrs. Feng. Moreover, Li Dagang had no elders in his eyes and was completely devoid of courtesy. He could only be heard saying to Ms. Feng in an unkind and reproachful tone: " Why are you still sleeping? Why are you going to sleep after being woken up by you?" He said that he was still sleeping, but he walked towards his house. When he returned to the house, he fell on the bed again.
The Li family's morning was full of excitement, while the Mo family's was as quiet and warm as usual.
In the Mo family, Song Nanzhi got up early in the morning, thinking that his health was much better and he had to work harder in the fields, so he got up early, prepared to cook and eat, and then went to dig red potatoes in the fields. , after leveling the ground, it’s time to talk about wheat.
From the time Mo Tingyu's leg was injured to now, although he still can't walk, the pain is not so much anymore. Once the pain is gone, he no longer wants to lie motionless on the bed day and night, and he sits up with all his strength. Then he let Song Nanzhi help him out of bed, and then let Song Nanzhi help him jump to the front room and sit on the chair Song Nanzhi had placed in advance. After sitting down, he lifted his injured leg to the bench opposite. . After sitting down, he let out a long sigh of relief, "If I continue to sleep on the bed now, my body will be exhausted by sleep."
Song Nanzhi complained: "It's not good for you to lie down. You have to get up and become a cow."
Mo Tingyu said with a smile: "I would rather work as a cow all day long than sleep in bed all day long. My body is hurting from sleeping these days." Then he said: "Go quickly and bring me some corn from home. I'll Come and peel.”
Song Nanzhi turned around and walked away, saying as he walked: "Okay, okay, from now on all the corn in this house will belong to you." He said that it all belongs to Mo Tingyu, but the corn he brought over was only half a basket. He walked up to Mo Tingyu and placed the half basket of corns in front of his feet, "You go ahead and peel them. I'll get them after you finish peeling them."
Mo Tingyu looked at the half basket of corns at his feet with a smile and said: "There are only a few, I will peel them off in a while."
While waiting for Mo Ziyuan to wake up, Mo Tingyu had almost finished peeling half of the basket of corn under his feet. Looking at Mo Tingyu sitting on the chair, Mo Ziyuan was not very surprised, except for the leg injury a few days ago. His grandfather was lying on the bed well, and would get up from time to time. "Grandpa, why are you up?"
Mo Tingyu smiled and said, "If I don't get up and move around, mold will grow on my body."
Mo Ziyuan could understand how his grandfather was quite bored lying in bed all day long with nothing to kill. She was just a little worried about whether his legs were touching, "Grandpa, how did you get here? You didn't touch your legs, right?" ?”
Mo Tingyu looked at his granddaughter's concern for him and replied, "I didn't touch it. Your breast was supporting mine. This leg never touched the ground. I jumped over slowly."
Although jumping and walking is a bit dangerous, there seems to be no other good way besides jumping at this time, and grandma can't carry him. Thinking about jumping, it’s okay to jump a few steps in this room, but as the legs recover, the amount of activity will gradually increase in the future. If you are still just jumping on one leg, it won’t work after a long time. What if you fall? ? And grandma can't always be at home to support him. She is at home, but with such a small body, she can't support even one leg, let alone a person. She has to be a crutch.
"I just jumped a few steps. Don't worry, it's okay with your breasts supporting me!" Mo Tingyu looked at Mo Ziyuan who kept looking at her legs without saying a word, thinking that she was worried that she would touch and fall when she jumped. , so he continued.
Mo Ziyuan was thinking about modern crutches in her mind at this time. After hearing what Mo Tingyu said, she said: "In a few days, grandpa's legs will recover better and better, and he will need to go out more and do more activities." , I just need to make a crutch to use. With the crutch, I can walk without anyone’s support.”
The granddaughter did whatever she wanted. Mo Tingyu didn't think much about it at all, "Okay, make a crutch. I'll ask you to find a wooden stick to use as a crutch later."
Mo Ziwan shook her head and said: "It's not a wooden stick, it has to be made specially. I'll draw it and show it to you in a while."
Mo Tingyu still agreed, "Okay, I'll do it after you finish the painting."
What Mo Tingyu was thinking was that the crutch was not that difficult, no matter how it changed, it was just a stick. It's a pity that he forgot that her granddaughter is a child with many ideas.
Breakfast was still a bowl of gruel, but each person cooked an egg to eat. When it came to eating eggs, Mo Ziyuan insisted on it. She said succinctly that only when you eat good food can you be healthy, otherwise your health will be bad. You also have to spend money to see a doctor, which is more expensive than a meal or an egg.
Everyone knows this. In the past, she could still manage her health and the medicine she took was not expensive, but this time it was different. The old man fell down, she became seriously ill again, and she owed a lot of money for medical treatment and medicine. ! So after Mo Ziyuan told her, she boiled an egg every other day and added a little more rice when cooking. At least it was not like before where there was only soup but no rice.
After dinner, Mo Ziwan remembered about the crutch. After putting down the dishes, she ran back to the room to draw pictures. The crutch was simple, just a wooden stick with a tripod under the armpit. After a few strokes, she blew it. After blowing the ink, once it was dry, he immediately brought it to Mo Tingyu and said, "Grandpa, look at this crutch."
Mo Tingyu looked at the drawing of the crutch that his granddaughter brought and asked confusedly: "What kind of crutch is this? It's hard to hold it with your hands!"
Mo Ziyuan pointed to the tripod at the top of the drawing and said: "This place is supported under the armpits. When both sides are supported at the same time, the person can be raised up, and then the feet can be taken one step forward. After standing firm, he can be supported again, and then Take a step forward.”
It was simple, and Mo Tingyu understood it very well when he heard it, "This method is good, but no one in our village knows carpentry. I will ask you to find a carpenter in the next village another day."
Mo Ziwan replied: "It would be nice to ask grandpa to help me make one."
Mo Tingyu said: "Your grandpa and the others are also very busy on weekdays. Besides, we are far away from each other. It takes more than half a day to go back and forth."
The grandparents Mo Ziwan mentioned were indeed very far away from Lushuiyuan Village, thirty miles away, and a round trip would take two and a half hours.
Mo Tingyu felt very guilty towards his in-laws. Not only did he fail to take good care of his daughter, but he also failed to keep his granddaughter. Especially after Mo Ziyuan's illness, he once thought of hiding the matter, but he felt that if he hid it, he would be more sorry for her. , instead of blaming themselves, their family now loves Wan Wan as a granddaughter, and they always visit her once or twice a year, especially during busy farming times, and they always come to help at home.
"Then let's not find grandpa. Grandma can go to the next village to find a carpenter. There are also carpenters in the county, so we can go to the county." Mo Ziwan said.
Mo Ziyuan said it easily, but it was different in Mo Tingyu's ears. He immediately thought that she would go to the county to find someone to do it when he and her mother were not paying attention, and couldn't help but become nervous. , "Wanwan, you are still young, so you can't run around. This crutch is not a big deal, and you are not in a hurry. When you run out of milk, she will know how to find someone to do it."
Mo Ziyuan didn't know how nervous her grandfather was, but she felt that she was a good obedient child, so after Mo Tingyu told her, she immediately responded: "I know, I will definitely not run around. When grandma is free, I will Let’s go to the next village with grandma to find a carpenter.”
Mo Tingyu felt relieved, "Okay, when your grandma comes back from the fields, I will tell your grandma to go when she is free. You must not run around, understand?" Mo Tingyu saw Mo Ziwan promised quickly and well, fearing that she was dealing with her, so she warned her uneasily.
Mo Ziyuan still looked like a good child, nodded and replied: "Well, I will definitely not run around." But at this time, she also saw that her grandfather was a little worried about her, and thought to herself: Sure enough, you can't lie casually, and you can't lie casually. He just told a lie once and now he is no longer trusted. In order not to dwell on this issue anymore, Mo Ziwan changed the subject and said, "I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time."
