"Mom, my sister-in-law fainted and there's blood on her pants. What should I do?"
Caught between the two, the captain's wife could only summon God.
"Oh my God... one or two of them are so troublesome..."
Fortunately, Comrade Guihua had lived for so many years and was very reliable. She borrowed a cow from the village, hitched up the family's ox cart, and instructed: "Lao Da's wife, your father and I will take the two of them to the commune hospital first. You and Lao Da will stay at home to look after the house. If we don't come back tonight, you must come to the commune hospital early in the morning and let your father go back to the village. He is the team leader, and the village cannot do without him during this period."
"Okay, I understand, Mom." The eldest daughter-in-law nodded in agreement.
Just then, the eldest son brought the ox cart, and Old Sun also borrowed the ox. The few of them hurried along the country road in the dark night, relying on the light of kerosene lamps, and finally arrived at the commune hospital.
It was a small hospital with only two floors. Although small, it had everything it needed. Seeing the two patients, both the nurses and doctors were very reliable.
"My son's leg was injured by a trap?" the captain's wife asked in shock.
"Is it not broken?" asked the captain.
The couple had different perspectives. They learned from the doctor that it was just a skin injury and no broken bones. They would need to go to the hospital from time to time for injections and dressing changes in the first week, and then they could recuperate at home slowly.
Captain: "That's good. Fortunately, it was an old trap, not a new one."
Anyone who has hunted in the mountains knows that the new animal trap can crush wild boar bones and is a good tool for hunting large prey.
The captain's wife said, "This is all the fault of the second son's wife. She's a troublemaker. Ever since she married me, there's been unrest in the family. This time, it must be her who started it all again. The second son went to Lushan. My poor son, why did you fall for her? No, I must get back at her this time!"
Just then, a middle-aged female doctor came over and brought shocking news.
"Doctor, what did you say? The second son's wife is pregnant?" The captain's wife couldn't believe it.
"Yes, she is pregnant, but it's very early, only one month. The pregnant woman is very weak, and she was frightened today. There are already signs of miscarriage. The baby is saved for the time being, but she has to stay in the hospital for a few days to see how it goes." The doctor said and left.
Only the captain and his wife were left standing in the corridor, facing each other in silence.
quite a while.
The captain said, "Let's forget about this matter."
The captain's wife was so angry that her teeth itched, but her grandson was still in Song Xiulan's belly. She had no choice but to hold her nose and endure it: "Forget it, can I still argue with my grandson?"
After the couple finished their discussion, they walked to the door of the ward.
Their youngest son, Sun Changlei, despite his leg injury, was holding Song Xiulan's hand. Even though Song Xiulan was still asleep, he still held on and kept talking to himself: "Xiulan, we have a child. This is our first child. I am so happy. We will never be separated..."
The captain and his wife paused in their steps, left the ward, and stood by the window of the hospital. A nurse walked by with something in her hand, and they vaguely heard the words "What a sin!"
The nurse thought: What a sin! What sin? Where is this sin?
The next morning, the news spread throughout Lushan Village.
"Don't go deep into the mountains next time. Who knows where the traps from years ago might still be."
"Yeah, those guys of mine also wanted to go to the mountains to look for wild duck eggs and pheasant eggs, but I beat them up."
"Changlei's wife really has a baby."
"Yeah, she's only been married for less than two months, and there seems to be no news about Xiulan's cousin Jiayu yet?"
"It's not that easy to get pregnant! And I see that Chang Lei's wife has looked very pale these past few days. I'm afraid the baby is not stable yet."
“…”
Song Jiayu was about to go out when Zhao Qiuqin persuaded her to come back. "Just stay home. Those gossipy women outside are talking about you. You've only been married for two months and you're already anxious for a child. The emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuchs are."
While working in the morning, Zhao Qiuqin had a quarrel with a gossipy woman who said Jiayu couldn't have children. Although she had won a great victory, she still felt unhappy. Her daughter was good in every way, so what could others say?
Song Jiayu hugged her mother's arm and said, "They said that if something happens in the village, they will talk about it for several days. I don't care at all because they say I will be trapped at home, which is too weak."
"This is my good daughter, you are so good..."
After coaxing Zhao Qiuqin, Song Jiayu went out and walked out of Lushan Village, walking on the muddy road to the commune. She was not going to see Song Xiulan, as she had tasks to complete in the commune.
[1. At the hospital gate, a good daughter who was trying to get her father treated found a bowl with a chipped edge, and she knew its origin.]
There are only a few tasks related to punching in items, and this time the reward is as clear as copper coins. She must get that reward no matter what.
"The commune hospital... is so small..."
I looked up and saw the red cross sign, then looked down again. The hospital was only about 150 square meters and two stories high. There were many people coming in and out, and I could see nurses in white clothes walking anxiously.
Well… whether it’s the 1960s or the 21st century, nurses are always busy!
She looked around the hospital again and wondered if it would look awkward if she stood by the roadside.
Song Jiayu went to the supply and marketing cooperative across the street. The county tickets should be valid here, so she took a walk around and wait and see.
"Have you finished reading it?"
A salesperson spoke in an aggressive tone.
"I saw you walking around the supply and marketing cooperative three or four times, looking but not buying anything, and your clothes were tattered. Are you planning to steal something?"
Don't get me wrong, the person being talked about is not Song Jiayu. She has already bought a pound of mung bean cake and is giving the money and ticket to the salesperson.
Someone whispered in my ear: "It's her again. She's been hanging around here for two days now, not buying anything. She even took out a broken bowl and asked if she could trade it for something."
"Exactly. Don't you even know what kind of place this is? You want to buy things without a ticket?"
I got important information from the two salesmen, but I'm not sure if they are the ones who need the mission.
Continue listening to the two salespeople chatting behind me.
"Ah... I heard her father is seriously ill?"
"What kind of ischemic disease is this? I don't know. Anyway, they need to eat well and drink well to nourish their bodies. But with their condition, how can they afford that?"
After listening again, Song Jiayu confirmed that the person in front of her was the target of the mission.
"Let's go! Stop hanging around here!"
The woman who was being chased away looked at the items on the counter with a green look in her eyes, which made the salesperson wonder if she was going crazy. He then emboldened himself and shouted, "If you don't leave, I'll call someone!"
Perhaps this sentence was useful, or perhaps people still have moral lines. The female comrade walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with a swaying figure, looking up at the sky, her eyes filled with hatred, resentment, anger and other emotions.
