Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Visiting Third Aunt.
the next day.
Mu Mian got up a little earlier than usual.
When she opened the door, she found that the old lady had gotten up even earlier and had almost prepared the meal. Normally, her family would not eat breakfast so early.
Mu Mian stood in front of the stove and approached the old lady, "Grandma, are you worried about Third Aunt?"
The old lady was quite stable last night, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
As a result, I got up earlier than anyone else this morning. It was obvious that I didn’t sleep well at night and got up before dawn.
Zhao Meihua sighed, "Your Third Aunt is almost 40 years old. I'm just worried that if she falls, she might get sick and become paralyzed when she's old. That would be really painful."
Mu Mian hadn't seen anyone yet, and didn't know the specific situation, so he could only comfort her: "Didn't Aunt Xiuqin say yesterday that Third Aunt looked fine? She must be fine. We are lucky people with good luck!"
Zhao Meihua forced a smile and said, "You'll know if you go and take a look sooner."
As he spoke, he gently moved his arm to the side and said, "Go wash your face quickly, don't stand here."
Mu Mian said "Oh", she saw it.
No words of comfort would be of any use now. Her grandmother would never be able to let go of her worries unless she saw her third aunt with her own eyes.
It's not just the old lady, everyone is a little worried.
The brothers Mu Xinglong and Mu Xingwang didn't sleep well last night after they found out, and they came here early in the morning.
Mu Xinglong: "How about I go with mom to see the third sister?"
Mu Xingwang: "I can go too."
Zhao Meihua glared at him, "What can you do? You are not as capable as Mian Ya."
Only then did I realize that I was indeed a little inferior to my niece's two brothers, "………………"
Mu Xinglong scratched his head and said, "I'm just worried about my third sister."
The old lady said: "There's no point in worrying. Go back to work."
After the two brothers were driven away by the old lady, Mu Mian and his grandson simply packed up and prepared to set off.
I chopped off half of the lamb leg I brought back yesterday and took it along, along with two marinated fish and some lamb chops.
Mu Mian carried her own bag and requisitioned her father's bicycle.
This brand of bicycles can also be ridden by female comrades. Comrade Mu Fugui considered his wife and daughter when he bought it.
In addition, Mu Mian has long legs, so she was able to master it last year.
Liu Shuangcui worriedly told her daughter, "Be sure to ride slowly on the road, and pay more attention to the potholes, don't let your milk fall into the ditch."
Mu Mian raised his chin and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm reliable!"
There is absolutely no problem in breastfeeding her. In her previous life, her skills were top-notch and she could even ride a bike with both handlebars.
The road now is not as easy to walk as it will be in the future, so we naturally cannot let go of both handles.
But as long as you keep the front of the bike steady, you will be very stable.
Thinking that her daughter was indeed a reliable person, Liu Shuangcui said nothing more.
---
It’s actually still early now, and many people may have just started breakfast.
After Mu Mian took her grandmother out, they didn't meet anyone along the way.
Heping Commune is nearly 20 kilometers away from them, and it takes most of the day to walk there.
Because the road is difficult to travel on, it takes nearly two hours to ride a bicycle.
Mu Mian did not go to Heping Commune very often, only a few times in the past few years.
Most of the time she went there during the winter, and only once was after the autumn harvest because the eldest son of her second aunt's family, her cousin Su Zhengyang, was getting married.
Although Su Zhengyang is younger than Mu Zhuo, he got married earlier than Mu Zhuo and his first child is about to be born, which will be the first child of their next generation.
Although he had not been there many times, Mu Mian still roughly remembered how to get there.
Except for the difficult road, everything else went smoothly. They left home at six o'clock, and it was already past eight o'clock when they arrived at the Heping Commune Hospital.
The commune’s hospital is not as big as those in the county or city, it only has two floors.
Mu Mian locked the bicycle and took off the things hanging on the front of the bicycle.
Before the grandparents and grandchildren entered the hospital gate, Mu Chunfen's voice suddenly sounded behind them, with a tone full of surprise, "Mom? Mian Ya?"
Mu Mian turned his head, with a little surprise on his face, "Second Aunt!"
The old lady got straight to the point, "How is your third sister?"
Mu Chunfen took two steps forward and said, "It's nothing serious. The doctor said it was just a small fracture. He asked her to lie down for a while and it will be fine after she recovers."
The old lady finally let go of the worry she had been carrying all night, "I'm glad you're alright."
Mu Mian was very happy, "See, grandma, I told you, our Third Aunt is blessed by fate!"
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."
Mu Chunfen: "You guys went out so early in the morning, who told you that Third Sister fell down?"
The three of them talked as they walked.
Zhao Meihua: "Xiuqin, her daughter gave birth to a baby in your hospital. When she went home last night, she said she saw your third sister."
Mu Chunfen: "I was wondering, you guys scared me so early in the morning. I thought I was blind."
Mu Mian laughed, "Second Aunt is not old."
Mu Chunfen rubbed the little girl's head and said, "How can you not get old? Look at your third aunt. She will have to lie down for at least a week after this fall. I think it will be longer than that."
"If this happened to you little kids, it might not be a big deal.
Full of life. ”
Mu Mian: "Third Aunt will surely get better soon!"
Without saying a few words, the three of them walked to the door of the ward.
Today is Sunday, and we don’t have to go to work. Mu Dongxue’s whole family is here.
Her eldest daughter, Zhong Tian, saw the people first. Her eyes widened slightly, and she stood up from the chair next to her, saying something similar to Mu Chunfen, "Mianmian? Grandma? Why are you here?"
As soon as she spoke, Mu Dongxue and his wife, as well as the youngest child Zhong Yan, immediately turned their heads and looked over.
Mu Mian waved her hand and said, "Sister Xiaotian, grandma is worried about Third Aunt, so come and take a look."
Mu Mian's eyes fell on Mu Dongxue again, "Third Aunt, how are you?"
Mu Dongxue had seen Su Xiuqin yesterday, so she was not that surprised by the arrival of the old lady and Mu Mian. She just smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."
Mu Dongxue's husband Zhong Zhimiao gave up his seat and said, "Mom, come and sit here with Mian Ya. You must be exhausted from the journey, right?"
Mu Mian smiled at his third uncle and said, "Riding a bike isn't that tiring."
Zhong Yan came over and stood next to Mian Ya. "You're not tired after riding for more than two hours?"
Zhong Yan is in the same grade as Mu Mian, only one month younger than Mu Mian, but he is half a head taller than Mu Mian.
In the past two years, this person has grown taller very quickly.
Mu Mian raised an eyebrow at his cousin, "It's just riding a bicycle. It doesn't take much effort."
Zhong Tian interjected, "My butt hurts just from sitting there."
Zhong Yan nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. My butt hurts too."
While the three siblings were talking, the old lady next to them was also talking to Mu Dongxue, "How did you fall? You even hurt your waist. Didn't you see the road when you got up at night?"
Mu Dongxue nodded, "That's right, it was the night before yesterday, I probably caught a cold and had a stomachache in the middle of the night, I just came out of the toilet."
When saying this, Mu Dongxue paused for unknown reasons.
Zhao Meihua asked, "Did he fall directly at the door of the toilet?"
Mu Dongxue shook her head, "No."
Zhao Meihua: "What is that?"
Mu Mian took two steps towards the bed, leaned his head closer, pricked up his ears, and looked like he wanted to hear it too.
The ward was very small, with only three beds in total. Mu Dongxue was lying on the innermost bed near the window. The middle bed was empty and no one was living there.
There was an old woman lying on the bed at the door, talking to her family members, chattering loudly.
Mu Dongxue glanced to the side and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she whispered, "I came out of the toilet and saw the door to the yard was blown open by the wind. When I ran to close it, I suddenly saw a figure. I got so scared in the middle of the night that I slipped and bumped into it."
"When Lao Zhong came out to help me, he said he didn't see anything and that I was dazzled."
As Mu Dongxue spoke, her voice became a little softer. "I remember that I really saw it at that time, and then it was gone in a flash. I thought...something happened."
Zhao Meihua glared at her third child, "What are you talking about?!"
How can we say these things now? They are all feudal superstitions.
Zhong Zhimiao: "I guess it's just about watching the splits."
Zhao Meihua looked at Mu Dongxue and said, "You are really capable. You can even be scared in your own home."
Mu Dongxue scratched her head and said angrily, "Mom, you know I've been afraid of these things since I was a child."
Mu Chunfen snorted, "Your courage is really not much bigger than the tip of a needle."
It was not appropriate to talk about these things outside. Zhao Meihua's eyes fell on her third child's waist. "What did the doctor say?"
Zhong Zhimiao answered on behalf of his wife, "If conditions permit, you can stay for a few more days to see how it goes. If the pain is relieved in a few days, you can go home to recuperate."
Zhao Meihua: "Then stay for two more days."
The old lady glanced at the bed next to her as she spoke, "I'll be here for the next two days, you guys should go get busy, this bed is unoccupied, can you sleep in it tonight?"
Mu Chunfen said nonchalantly, "Why can't I sleep on it? The bed is here for people to sleep on. The doctor said just don't dirty the mattress."
The old woman in the outermost bed seemed to be very familiar with people. When she heard this, she responded, "I will go home this afternoon too. If no one is staying in my bed, you can sleep in it."
Zhao Meihua: "Big sister, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman lifted the small blanket covering her legs and nodded, "I fell down and broke my leg. I don't know when it will heal."
Zhao Meihua cried out, "You'll have to take good care of it then."
The old woman seemed to be quite open-minded. "Hey, I'm so old now, so that's it."
When two old ladies of similar age were chatting casually, Mu Chunfen beside them also pulled Mu Mian aside and asked, "What are you carrying?"
Mu Mian whispered, "Yellow sheep legs and some fish, bring them to Third Aunt for nourishment."
Zhong Yan, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and whispered, "Where did you get that? Sister Mian Ya, did you catch any sheep in the mountains? They were running really fast, and you were able to catch up with them? That's amazing!!"
The boy spoke with great sincerity and a look of shock on his face.
It was exactly the same expression he had when he heard that his sister Mian Ya had killed a wild boar.
Zhong Tian rolled her eyes at her brother, "Are you stupid? Can a human catch that yellow sheep?"
Zhong Yan said confidently, "We can't do it, but Sister Mian Ya can definitely do it. Sister Mian Ya can do anything!"
Mu Mian: “………………”
But, isn't this a bit of a compliment to her?
She didn't have any Hot Wheels under her feet.
