Chapter 65 Storytelling
Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss yesterday, Han Mingcui slept very deeply. Even her husband's family said she was going to rest. She didn't stop her sleepiness.
She was woken up by her little baby, who also slept for several hours. The food in her stomach was digested, and she was crying and looking for milk to eat.
As soon as the child woke up, Han Mingxiu's first reaction was that she couldn't be prepared to pull or urinate again, so she hurried up to check it, but the child really urinated, she quickly helped her change the urine ring, take a look The eldest sister also got up and handed her the repackaged child to breastfeed.
Han Mingcui took the child, sat down against the pillow, glanced out the window, found that it was already dark outside, and asked, What time is it?
Han Mingxiu said, It's five o'clock. I'm just about to call you up for dinner. Look, the food is ready. If you don't wake up, the porridge will be cold.
Han Mingcui lifted her eyelids and glanced at it, and saw a pot of steaming rice porridge on the bedside table. The rice porridge was browned and browned, and white corn umbilicus was faintly visible inside, as if it had been found from fresh corn.
Next to the rice porridge, there is a plate of thinly sliced pork liver, neatly stacked on the plate, and on the other side is a plate of big red crabs.
This...this...is it a crab? Where did you come from?
Han Mingcui looked at the crab uncertainly, and stumbled a little in shock.
The north does not produce crabs, but she had read it in books before, and she knew that they were produced in the sea. I heard that the price was more expensive than meat. For poor people like them, not to mention that they could not afford them, they just ate them. There was nowhere to buy it if she wanted to, so she was so surprised when she saw crabs.
Han Mingxiu laughed dryly and said, These are all given by others, including the noodles we eat at noon and the old soup used to cook the noodles, all given by others.
Considering that she will be living with her eldest sister in the future, Han Mingxiu doesn't want to eat chaff all day long in order to hide the secret of her space, so after some deliberation, she decides to compile a story to cover up her space, and stop by. improve her life.
The content of the story is this.
Isn't it this morning that I went to my second sister's house? Then when I passed an alley, I happened to meet an old lady who fell into a coma. I was thinking about this cold day. On the ground, it was freezing cold, and if no one found out that the whole thing was not done, they would freeze to death, so I felt sympathy, and knocked on the door from door to door behind her back, and finally found her home.
It turns out that the old lady accidentally slipped while going out, and her head hit the wall and fell unconscious. Although it's not dangerous, if I hadn't rescued her in time, the consequences would be really hard to say.
The old lady's husband has to give me a sum of money to repay me because he is grateful to me for saving his wife...
And then? Do you want it? Han Mingcuier was attracted by Han Mingxiu's story, and she didn't notice that the padded jacket draped over her slipped off.
Of course I don't want it, but it's just a little effort. How can I be embarrassed to ask for money from others?
Han Mingxiu waved her hand with a dignified look and continued to work in vain.
I didn't expect that the old man saw that I didn't want money, so he liked me even more, and he talked a lot about it. Only then did I know that the old man and the old lady are both retired high school teachers. Seventy bucks pension.
And they have also raised five promising children, who work in major cities across the country, some in the south, some in Beijing, and some in Shanghai. Every month is money and goods to them. They can't spend the salary of 60 or 70 yuan a month, and the children send them to them, so the old man and the old lady had a hard time. Compare.
Later, the old man heard that I was serving your confinement in the hospital, so he insisted on bringing me something to eat. Hey, these big crabs and the tender rice for boiling rice porridge were given to them by the son of the uncle's family from the south. Take it back, don't look at our north now dripping into ice and nothing grows long, and people in the south are still blooming in spring, look at this tender rice, it's as tender as our autumn rice; and this crab, too. They are all very fresh, but you just gave birth, so it’s not good to eat this, let’s eat that pig’s liver, it’s good for blood, it just happens that you have so much blood again, eating pig’s liver is just right…”
While talking, Han Mingxiu helped the eldest sister pick up the slipped padded jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
So, the old man gave you all these old things? Emma, how much do these old good things cost? We took so many things from others? Didn't we take advantage of others? The eldest sister is a little embarrassed.
Han Mingxiu said indifferently, When did we take advantage of others? I saved someone's life. How much is a life and this little thing? Besides, do you think this little thing is very valuable? Yes, in fact, in the eyes of the uncles and aunts, it is nothing at all, not even a drop in the bucket. You don't see how people's life is going, so what is it? The food in the main room has been piled from the ground to the roof. , there are piles of coal in the yard, as well as a flying pigeon bicycle, a room of furniture, a radio on the cabinet cover, a sewing machine and a sofa on the floor...
In order to continue to take things from this house in the future, Han Mingxiu spared no effort in advocating the wealth of the 'Uncle Gao' family, in order to have a reasonable excuse for her to take things home in the future.
The eldest sister is a simple and kind person, and she is easy to deceive. Han Mingxiu hardly made any effort to make her believe her completely. Not only did I believe it, but I also participated in the story.
Xiu, when people have money, they belong to them. We can't just give them a little help and get so many things for nothing. When I get out of confinement, I will make two pairs of shoes for the old couple. There is a chance. You go to their house again, help me see how big their old couple's feet are, and show me an approximate touch, otherwise it will be useless if they are bigger or smaller.
Han Mingxiu was planning to go to Uncle Gao's house again tomorrow to find a chance to come back with a few rings. Hearing what the eldest sister said, she was in a good mood, so she said cheerfully, Okay, then I'll go there tomorrow. Let me give you the size of the feet of their old couple, and I will bring you porridge first, the porridge made with tender corn is delicious.
She went to make porridge for the eldest sister!
Hehe, her method is really good. From now on, she will be able to bring back tender rice, big crabs, apples, watermelons and big oranges continuously from the Grandpa Gao's house!
