Song Jinxiu's work is now much less stressful. After all, cigarettes are not a necessity of life. People only buy them occasionally as gifts or for people to secretly satisfy their cravings.
During the New Year of 1956, people could no longer openly make bacon and sausages with half a pig and half a pig.
But it doesn’t matter. After all, we are making sausages and bacon, and there is not much difference between domestic pigs and wild boars.
So, the village organized a wilderness survival activity and accidentally killed several wild boars.
Can’t waste it, just eat it!
(The plot requires it. Protecting wildlife is everyone's responsibility! Wild animals are full of bacteria.)
Song Jinxiu also became a real worker and lost the income from the village land.
Because we started a cooperative, we began to record work points.
Since Song Jinxiu did not work in the fields and her household registration was not in the village, she naturally lost the qualification to share the grain.
More than half a year later, Song Jinxiu received another package from Zhao Li. At first, she thought it was from Mother Xia. She happily took it home, only to find out that it was from Zhao Li.
"Oh, what a stupid brain I have!" Song Jinxiu slapped her forehead, forgetting that she had said before that she would give the other party a chance.
Now it is certain, there is no chance.
Song Jinxiu immediately picked up her pen and wrote a reply to Zhao Li, telling him that it was indeed not suitable because she had already found someone she loved and hoped that he could also find his other half.
Song Jinxiu sealed the letter and prepared to send it out the next day.
Early the next morning, Aunt Cuihua came knocking on the door.
"Aunt, what's wrong?" Song Jinxiu asked, seeing the anxious look on her aunt's face.
"Has An An gone to school?" asked Aunt Cuihua.
"I've already gone." Song Jinxiu replied.
"Oh, then when he comes home at noon, tell him that Lao Xue is in the hospital and ask him to visit when he is free." Aunt Cuihua was about to leave after giving the instructions.
She is in a hurry to go shopping.
"Aunt, what happened to Uncle Xue?" Song Jinxiu quickly grabbed Aunt Cuihua and asked.
"I heard that he suddenly started shaking all over last night and couldn't speak. Dr. Jin examined him and said it was tremor paralysis. He asked me to send him to the city to see if it could be cured.
I don't know the details, I'm just about to buy some breakfast and go see them." Aunt Cuihua said.
"Then please wait for a moment, I'll go take a look too." After saying that, Song Jinxiu went back to get a bag.
I happened to see the letter on the desk, so I put it into my space and will send it out when I have time.
My aunt bought a bag of mixed grain steamed bread and rushed to the hospital. They had started their journey late last night, so they had something to eat first.
Have another meal at home at noon.
Now you need food coupons and meat coupons to eat out, which is not as convenient as eating at home.
When Song Jinxiu and the others arrived, the doctor was still examining the patient inside.
Aunt Cuihua handed the steamed bread to the young man waiting outside.
There are no instruments now, and doctors can only diagnose the disease based on the patient's condition and some basic examinations.
Soon, the doctor came out, followed by the village chief and others.
"It's most likely Parkinson's disease. There's no medicine to treat this disease right now. We can only do some basic rehabilitation," said the doctor.
"This is a common degenerative disease of the nervous system in the elderly, but fortunately his condition is only mild.
It's just a nerve disorder involving the nerves in the right hand and the face. As long as I recover well, there won't be much problem in my daily life.
As for the frequency of the disease, it varies from person to person." The doctor said this and left.
"How is it?" asked Aunt Cuihua.
The village chief shook his head. "The cause of the disease is unknown. It could be due to aging, infection, oxidative stress, free radical formation, or something like that.
It's probably an old age disease, and it's unpreventable. And we have to be careful about it turning into Alzheimer's disease."
Lao Xue is the most stubborn person in his life. If he knew that he was incurable, I don’t know what he would do.
"Just stay in the hospital first. Don't you say you still need rehabilitation treatment? At least wait until you recover enough to live a normal life before going back." Aunt Cuihua looked around the ward.
Lao Xue was sleeping, and she whispered, "Arrange someone to keep a close eye on him these few days. At least one person should stay with him."
The village chief nodded.
Next, Song Jinxiu went back to help her aunt cook. She couldn't help here if she stayed, as there was a large group of people eating at noon.
"An An and Lao Xue have a good relationship, so you should pay attention to him these two days." Aunt Cuihua said.
Song Jinxiu nodded. You wouldn't normally look like they have a good relationship.
“When he was little, An An was quiet and he rarely played with other kids in the village.
At that time, Lao Xue would always make all kinds of strange little gadgets for him and take him to the mountains to play.
If it weren't for his terrible cooking skills, An An would have almost been supported by him." Aunt Cuihua seemed to see Song Jinxiu's confusion and spoke.
"And once, An An went into the mountains and encountered a wild boar. It was Old Xue who risked his life to protect him.
If the villagers had not arrived in time, Lao Xue would probably have died there.
During that time, An An squatted by Lao Xue's bed and no one could call him away. He was not thrown out until Lao Xue was able to get out of bed and carry him out.
Aunt Cuihua smiled and said, now that I think about it, time flies.
"Although he doesn't like to talk, he is very clear-headed. So we really didn't expect that you could make him speak. We thought that this would be the end of his life." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
"Haha, this is what they call blood suppression. After all, I am his sister." Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
"This is called true love for true love. I can see that you have put a lot of thought into An An. Thank you, auntie." Aunt Cuihua said.
"Oh, Auntie, why are you so serious? It makes me feel embarrassed. We take care of each other, and he has taken care of me a lot.
"It's not just An An, everyone in the village has helped me a lot. It's all because of everyone's care that I can live so comfortably in an unfamiliar environment." Song Jinxiu smiled.
The two people chatted without stopping their hands.
Song Jinxiu found out that An An's grandfather was actually the village chief's superior, and An An's father also sacrificed his life to save the villagers.
That time, the Japanese army was so angry that they closed the mountain and searched, and they almost found the place where everyone was hiding.
Just then, An An's father came back from outside, and he used himself as bait to lure away the Japanese.
It can be said that the father and son have saved the people in the village more than once.
Even when he sacrificed himself, he was unaware of An An's existence, because An An's mother was only found out to be pregnant later.
Despite the hardships of life, she still insisted on giving birth to An An. After all, this was the only bloodline in their family.
It's a pity that there was heavy bleeding during delivery and the mother was not saved. We could only barely rescue An An.
This also caused Liu Ankang to be weak and sickly when he was a child.
