lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
It is said that where there is white there is light, and where there is light there is shadow.
On this special night when everyone should have the warmth of family.
Hong Fook-cheng in Hong Kong and "Kim So-yeon" who boarded the plane seem to have stood on the opposite side of warmth, becoming opposite examples of cold-blooded and ruthless and solitary respectively.
But it has to be said that if this is all, it is still not enough to accurately describe this complex and ever-changing objective world.
Because there are still too many people whose living conditions are far worse than theirs, who are struggling hard.
Shiligou in Funan, Anhui Province, is no less icy and snowy than the capital, and the wind is biting.
"Dadehe" who stayed in the village secretary's east room was anxiously watching a "barefoot doctor" give acupuncture to the pregnant Tian Xianghua.
Finally, when the doctor was sweating profusely and finished his work, he immediately brought over a bowl of sugar water.
He helped Tian Xianghua up, blew on the hot air, and let her drink it.
Then he carefully covered her with a quilt, and then he could ask the doctor about her condition.
The "Barefoot Doctor" took a filtered "Fragrant Mountain" from his hand, put it to his nose and smelled it very curiously before lighting it.
Then he said slowly, "Nothing else, just a cold. She is weak and has a weak foundation. But it's not a big deal. We still have to find a way to cover her sweat and let her sleep quietly first. A sleep."
"By the way, don't feed her any more wild rabbit meat, what if she has a baby? In her case, eggs, millet, and red dates are all she needs to replenish her health. Of course, chicken soup is even better."
"I'm not telling you, you really shouldn't have brought your wife back to this poor place. There's nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and it's hard to even get medicine. It's great to be born in the capital. You didn't ask for it. Are you going to suffer and suffer?"
"Da De He" nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, but the matter has come to this, and we can't go back now. You...do you have any other ideas?"
"Don't let her get winded. I'll go to the county to get you some medicine. Otherwise, I'll let her sweat as soon as possible. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow afternoon."
"Da De He" quickly stuffed half a box of cigarettes into the doctor's hand, then took out another ten dollars and sent the barefoot doctor away happily.
But when he came back, Tian Xianghua blamed him.
"I just caught a cold, it's okay. Don't make a fuss. If you keep spending money like this, it's not a problem to just sit back and have nothing. It's not easy for you to earn this money. From now on we..."
"Da De He" didn't like hearing it anymore, and Hu rubbed his head and said impatiently, "Oh, what about the future? Let's focus on the present first. You and your child are not more important than anything else? As long as you can be healthy and smooth, I would rather give them all the money I brought after giving birth to the child."
After a pause, he seemed to feel that his tone was a bit harsh, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself.
"Hey, actually it's all my fault. The doctor was right. The conditions here are too bad. I thought things were simple from the beginning. I didn't expect that I can't buy anything even if I have money. As a result, you suffered a lot. . In this way, when you feel better, we will go back to Beijing and go to the hospital to give birth, not here."
Tian Xianghua quickly stopped him.
"No, no, you can't go back. There is a lot of commotion in our county. What if... No, I was born here, and I won't go anywhere. Don't worry, I will definitely be safe here. Give birth to the baby. We have been doing this for generations, but I am afraid of going to the hospital."
But in this way, "Da De He" felt even more sad and guilty.
Finally, after Tian Xianghua fell asleep, "Da Dehe" took another roll of banknotes and ran to the village party secretary's house.
At this time, the village secretary was still sitting at the kang table drinking.
When he saw him, he greeted him and drank together, and casually asked a few questions about Tian Xianghua's illness.
Don’t even look at the wotou on the kang table with wild celery soaked in vinegar, boiled cabbage, stewed rabbit meat, mixed noodles, and low-quality privately brewed liquor.
But this is already the top level in the village.
So for the same reason, the village secretary was dumbfounded when he heard "Dadehe"'s request again.
He said straight away, "Oh, his son-in-law. These things you want are not available in this village."
"You'll get pregnant if you eat rabbit meat? Is that the one who does the acupuncture? Is this what you are doing? Damn it, I'll find him later! To tell you the truth, we've never heard of a mother-in-law who is so rich. Do you have to eat millet and eggs to give birth?”
After hearing this, "Da De He" quickly took out the money.
"Uncle, I know it's hard for you. But Xianghua's body is weak, and it's this month...I won't let you waste your money. Look, for these two hundred yuan, I only need thirty chickens. , one hundred and fifty pounds of millet, do you think it’s okay?”
The village secretary was stunned for a moment, looking at the money, his eyes rolling.
But then he still shook his head.
"It's not that we don't want to help. We are poor here. In remote areas, there are really not many families who raise chickens. This is during the New Year..."
"Dadehe" heard the cunning in the words.
Without any hesitation, he decisively took another big step back.
"If it doesn't work out, for this price, twenty chickens and a hundred pounds of millet are fine. But these twenty have to be hens."
Following the feint, he filled it in with good words.
"Uncle, when we go back to our hometown this time, we all rely on your care to obtain a marriage certificate, food, accommodation, and medical treatment. I will keep your kindness in mind. What are relatives? From now on, we will be serious relatives. You If you have time to visit the capital in the future, I will definitely entertain you."
This time the village secretary finally did not refuse. He smiled and promised to hitch the team's car early tomorrow morning and help set out.
"Da De He" was relieved.
Zhengzhou Railway Station, Henan.
In the dark wind and snow, "Basha" who ran out of the capital was listless under the dim street lights in the square, freezing and worried.
This time, when he was drinking to get rid of his kidneys, he was just lucky enough to slip through the net.
I ran out with very little money.
He is a "master", not a "Buddha", and is not capable of "self-reliance".
So in the past few months after he came out, he couldn't even afford a hotel, so he slept in the waiting room at night pretending to be a passenger.
I can only survive by occasionally "shooting the big one" and finding loopholes in careless passengers.
(Note: Big one is a jargon term. It refers to the theft of luggage at the train station and wharf)
Moreover, the situation outside is extremely serious, and there is a lot of noise everywhere.
If you are caught doing this, your guilt will increase.
To be honest, he really regretted it this time.
I hate that I didn’t listen to Hong Yanwu and stop in time, so I ended up in this dilemma.
Especially during the New Year, who doesn’t go home to celebrate the New Year?
Not to mention the fact that there are fewer passengers at the train station every day, even the blind people who hang out at the station every day and can protect him are gone.
Well, this is so good, he doesn't even dare to sleep in the waiting room.
Moreover, I was fully prepared and had less than twenty yuan left in my pocket. Compared with the deserted streets, I felt a little desperate.
But this situation is not the most unlucky for him.
Because just after he felt that he couldn't lose anything on New Year's Eve, he went to the train station canteen and bought a roast chicken and liquor generously.
I never expected that this chicken was actually bad.
Halfway through the meal, the sour taste came back and my stomach started to cramp.
He was so anxious that he hurriedly pressed his throat, vomited loudly, and broke out in a weak sweat before he could get over the discomfort.
Hey, how could this not make him feel sad?
While wiping the cold sweat from his face and neck, he cursed in frustration.
"Damn it, how did I end up in such a miserable state?"
What he didn't expect was that he heard a soft voice asking him from behind.
"Uncle, do you still want to eat half of this chicken? If not, then Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing
"Bashi" looked back and saw that Ganqing was a little girl of eight or nine years old.
Lean, with a dirty face.
And he was holding a little boy of four or five years old with a big runny nose.
"Bacha" was feeling annoyed, so he waved his hand away angrily.
"Gungungun, if you want to die, there is no way like you. This chicken is bad, do you know? If you want it to be good, I won't eat it?"
Unexpectedly, although there was fear in the eyes of the two children, the girl still did not give up and begged him tremblingly.
"Uncle, there is something wrong with you after eating. We have good stomachs and often eat sour food. You have pity on us sisters. My brother and I haven't eaten for a whole day."
After hearing this and looking at the pitiful appearance of the two sisters, "Bacha" couldn't help but feel sympathy.
At least he feels that he is much better than these two villains now that he is in this situation. After all, he still has more than ten yuan on him.
So he took out a dollar.
"Those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, count me as a virtuous person. Take it and go across the street to buy some hot steamed buns to eat. But I can't give you this chicken. It's not that I don't want to part with it. If I eat it, your life will be gone."
The little girl was so frightened that she took the money. Not only did she say thank you, she actually bowed politely.
And he reached out and pressed his brother's head to make him bow.
This makes "Bacha" feel a little interesting.
Well, little girl, she knows how to beg and knows the rules.
But what was even more unexpected was when he walked around the station square and came back from eating a bowl of wontons.
I was stamping my feet, shivering, wondering if it was time to venture into the waiting room to warm up.
A hand tugged at his clothes from behind.
When he turned around, he saw the little girl again.
She pulled her brother, looked at him steadily with two dark eyes, and spoke stumblingly.
"Uncle, eh... don't you have a place to live? How about... why don't you come with us? We know an unoccupied heating ditch in the gap between the buildings. It's spacious."
"Bacha" was stunned for a moment, staring with two broad bean eyes, and asked the little girl in a very strange way.
"Girl, you want to take me to where you live? Aren't you afraid of me...I...what if I'm a bad person?"
The little girl actually smiled.
"Uncle, you are a good person. After my mother died, my uncle was reluctant to let us have a full meal. He beat us every day and scolded us for being a burden. How could you give us a dollar for no reason? Is he a bad person?..."
This sentence actually made "Bashi" mute. For the first time in his life, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
This New Year’s Eve seems to be really interesting.
