Although Yu Tong didn’t know what kind of disease Lin Xianglian was suffering from, she knew that the main problem was that Lin Xianglian hadn’t had enough to eat for a long time, and was exposed to the wind and sun every day. At the current temperature, even doing nothing could cause heat stroke , not to mention that Lin Xianglian is always the hardest worker of all.
She first went to the kitchen to cook porridge and boiled eggs for Lin Xianglian. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at home, shefolded a few vegetable leaves and put them in the porridge, and made a poached egg for Lin Xianglian.
When she returned to the room, Lin Xianglian had already woken up, but she was still weak. As soon as Yu Tong entered, Lin Xianglian could smell the aroma of vegetable porridge, and she couldn’t help but sit up on her back, “Tongtong, have you gone to the kitchen to cook?”
Seeing LinXianglian getting up, Yu Tong hurriedly put down the porridge and went to help her, “Mom , you first drink a bowl of porridge to pad your stomach, I have several boiled eggs here, you eat them all, and then I will go find a doctor for you!”
She said it was a doctor, but he was actually a person with some medical knowledge in the village, Yu Tong guessing that he couldn’t see anything, She was wondering if she should go to the hospital in the county.
Lin Xianglian has never seen so much rice in porridge, and there is an egg in it, and the vegetables are also green and oily. It is delicious just by looking at it. She swallowed unconsciously, and said worriedly: “Tongtong, where did you get the porridge?”
” They all came here aboveboard.”
Lin Xianglian licked her dry lips, “Drink it, you have lost a lot of weight during this time.”
“Mom,” Yu Tong said seriously, “If you don’t take good care of your body, When I get seriously ill, what should I do if I am left alone? This bowl of porridge is nothing to me, but it is what you need urgently now. Don’t refuse me anymore. Drink it quickly. After drinking, lie down and rest. I will Go find a doctor.”
Throwing down these words, Yu Tong turned and ran away. Lin Xianglian stared blankly at her daughter’s back, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly became moist. My daughter… She has really grown up and can be on her own.
****************
All afternoon, Yu Tong was running around about Lin Xianglian’s affairs, so she went to invite the only doctor in the village, and the result was exactly as she expected, and the doctor was not sure what disease Lin Xianglian had. It was said that she was malnourished, but there were signs of heat stroke,and he was not sure what was going on in the end. Yu Tong was terrified when she thought of the original owner’s memory of Lin Xianglian’s death, so she decided to take Lin Xianglian to the hospital in the county to have a look at her.
But Li Xiu is definitely not happy, and she is not at ease relying on the old lady, so she has to find another backer.
Before dinner, Yu Tong wiped Lin Xianglian’s body and asked, “Mom, why haven’t you returned to grandma’s house during this time?” Being the only girl child of a large family of labor, her family is very rich. In the original owner’s memory, although Lin Xianglian didn’t often take Yu Tongback to her natal home, her uncles and aunts treated Yu Tong well.
“Why did you think of this?” Lin Xianglian looked a little better after resting for an afternoon, “Isn’t this far from your grandma’s house? You have to discuss it with your grandma when you go back to your mother’s house, which also delays work, which is inconvenient.”
“What’s the inconvenience? It’s in the next village. My aunt goes back to her mother’s house when she has time. I caught her sneaking around lasttime.”
After a pause, Yu Tong said, “Mom, you are sick this time. I’ll bring grandma and grandpa back to see you.”
Lin Xianglian hadn’t seen her parents for a long time, and she really wanted to, but when she thought of Mrs. Yu and Li Xiu, she backed off a little, “Not good, The two old people have to worry if they find out, and your aunt will definitely not be happy.”
“You don’t care if she is happy or not, as long as you are happy, if you are afraid that my grandparents will be worried, I will bring my uncle to see you Uncle must miss you too.”
Yu Tong didn’t give Lin Xianglian another chance to object, and said cheerfully, “That’s it!”
Lin Xianglian’s natal family is in the next village, not far away, Lin Xianglian is still very weak. On the second day as Yu tong didn’t go to work for the day, so taking this opportunity, Yu Tong went to Lin Xianglian’s family.
At that time, her grandparents and aunt Sun Shuhui were the only ones at home. Sun Shuhui was a shrewd and capable woman. After Yu Tong visitedher grandparents, she secretly told Sun Shuhui about Lin Xianglian’s illness. She said that she was going to see Lin Xianglian. This comforted Yu Tong, it seemed that someone still remembered Lin Xianglian. Although Yu Tong’s grandmother’s house is in the next village, the road between the two villages has not yet been repaired. Yu Tong had a very difficult journey, and when she returned to Lao Yu’s house, she was almostexhausted and paralyzed.
When she came home, it happened that Li Xiu and Yu Lele had come back from work. They didn’t go to the field very often, and they looked very embarrassed and disheartened at the moment. They were dissatisfied because of Yu Tong they had worked for two days in a row, and when they saw YuTong, they immediately snapped, “Yu Tong! We do the work for you, but you still leave your mother alone and run out to play !!”
Yu Tong’s goal is about to be achieved, she is happy in her heart, and she doesn’t bother to talk to them, “What do you mean by working for me? Don’t you eat the rations? If you don’t eat the rations next month, I wont count it as your job ”
After leaving this sentence, Yu Tong went into the room without looking back, ignoring them.
“You!” Yu Lele was furious, “Mom, you see she has learned how to argue now, what kind of attitude she has !”
Yu Lele became unhappy: “Mom, have you ever thought of a way to punish Yu Tong? She has gone too far recently. Look at my neck, it’s all tanned because I went to the ground. if this continues how can I find a good husband’s family?” Yu lele’s words reached Li Xiu’s heart, Li Xiu had doted on Yu Lele for so many years, and she only hoped that she could find a good family.
After all, she doesn’t have a son, and after all these years of tossing and trying a lot of local methods, she still can’t conceive, so she can only rely on Yu Lele in the future.
Li Xiu said with a serious face: “I have to find a way to drive her out of Lao Yu’s house!”
Yu Lele was stunned for a moment, “Separation?”
Li Xiu nodded: “Out of sight, out of mind!”
“That’s not possible “Although she don’t usually talk about it, Yu Lele’s heart is like a mirror. Over the years, Lin Xianglian and her daughter have done the most work. If they leave, who will do the dirty work at home?
Yu Lele said: “If I drive them away, I still have to work in the fields.”
“You are stupid,” Li Xiu poked Yu Lele’s head, “Of course I have to take their work points, Take the work points from the two of them, so we don’t have to work? At most, we clean up the house. No, this matter has to be carefully planned and planned, or we still have to make a fuss about the third child…”
*************************
Li Xiu and Yu Lele had worked all day, and when they had dinner, both of them looked very unhappy. Others, on the other hand, are already used to it, and it’s the same for them whoever takes a break. The dinner was made by Yu tong , Li Xiu took a few mouthfuls and started to scorn: “Yu Tong, how did you cook this rice, it’s so hard, how can you eat it, right, Changzhi?” Li Xiu wins over her husband Deal with Yu Tong together.
Yu Changzhi is enjoying his food, rice porridge with pickles is not every day.
He was suddenly kicked by Li Xiu, and he was a little confused: “What, it’s good, the softness is just right.”
Li Xiu stared, almost gasping. Seeing this scene, Yu Tong almost laughed out loud. She glanced at Li Xiu and said calmly, “Auntie has a bad appetite, why don’t you let it go and eat later?” Li Xiu immediately picked up her food and stopped talking.
The last time she just said that one sentence, the porridge was snatched away. She was hungry all morning! Seeing Li Xiu’s reaction, Yu Tong felt even more amused. Usually she can show off her prestige, but now she is discouraged because of a bowl of porridge, tsk.
Without Li Xiu chattering, the surroundings were much quieter. Yu Tong looked around and felt that the opportunity had come. She cleared her throat and said, “Grandma, there is something I want to discuss with you. After my mother is ill, I went to ask the doctor in the village, but he can’t explain what’s wrong with my mother, and my mother’s illness has not improved, I wantto take her to the hospital in the county, do you think it’s okay.”
Yu Tong just finished speaking, waiting for the old lady opened her mouth, when Li Xiu dropped the bowl with a bang: “No!”
