The only sound in the whole yard for a moment was Xiao Xiaohe's laughter. She had no idea what was going on, but seeing how happy she looked, she knew she was just playing.
Sun Ye ran to the chair and helped Sun Taohua up. Sun Miao also reacted and came over to hug Xiao Xiaohe. She hugged her tightly, fearing that Xiao Xiaohe would fall again.
"Do you have a headache?" Sun Ye wanted to reach out and touch Sun Taohua's forehead, but was afraid of hurting Sun Taohua.
Sun Taohua was already in tears. She shook her hands and said, "It doesn't hurt much, it just sounds scary."
Sun Taohua didn't know that she had a bump on her forehead and pretended to be calm, but she didn't know that her trembling voice had completely exposed her.
"How can it not hurt? There's such a big bump on my head."
"There's no medicine at home, what should I do?"
When Sun Taohua heard a lump, she tried to touch it tentatively, but was stopped by Sun Ye.
Sun Miao's eyes were red as he thanked Sun Taohua very solemnly: "Taohua, thank you so much, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to Xiaohe."
Sun Ye also nodded beside her, and she was grateful at this moment.
Sun Taohua looked a little shy, and waved her hands repeatedly, declining, "You're welcome. Aren't we good friends? Xiaohe is your sister, so she's also my sister."
"Yeah, we are good friends, best friends!"
"We can't just let this bump on our head stay like this, right?" Sun Ye pointed at the big bump on Sun Taohua's forehead. The area around it was blue and looked quite serious.
"I know there's a clinic at the entrance of the village. They have mercurochrome there. Brother Xiaowen has used it before and it works."
"Okay, let's go to the clinic."
"But,……"
"But what? Let's deal with the bag first." Sun Ye didn't understand why Sun Miao hesitated.
"But red medicine costs money, and we don't have any money."
Seeing this, Sun Taohua immediately said, "Don't use red medicine, that stuff is expensive. My bag will be healed in a few days, why waste that money?"
"No!" Sun Ye firmly rejected Sun Taohua's suggestion. If you are injured, you must treat it to prevent it from getting worse in the future.
"Sister Miaomiao, I'm going to find my mother." After saying this, Sun Ye turned around and ran away. This matter could not be delayed.
"Hey, can you please not go to find the adults?" Sun Miao said quietly, and the rest of the words were almost whispered on his lips.
Sun Miao followed slowly, and was so immersed in the panic of eating fried meat with bamboo sticks that he didn't pay attention to Sun Taohua who was at the back.
Sun Taohua shook her hand subconsciously, and noticed a big hole on the elbow of her clothes. She stretched out her hand to measure it. It was three fingers wide and two fingers long. Another piece of cloth would be wasted.
When she came to her senses, the two people in front of her were gone. She just let her face distorted in pain, and the tears kept flowing.
She was no longer in a hurry. She went home to wash her hands and face, then changed her clothes. She only had two pieces of clothing to wear at this time of year, so it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel bad.
Sun Miao followed Sun Ye like a bullied young wife and soon arrived.
Sun Ye had seen the scene of building a house many times. It was dirty and messy, and the sound of chiseling wood never stopped.
Seeing Sun's mother moving stones, I walked over.
"Mom, give me some money."
Sun Ye said this three times before his mother understood. She put down the dustpan and scratched her ears, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
"What do you need the money for? There's nothing we need it for at home, and we're not going to town."
"I...I want to go to the health center."
"What's wrong with you? You need to go to the clinic, but if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, tell me and I'll take a look."
Mother Sun pulled Sun Ye over, touched his forehead, and measured herself.
"You don't have a fever, do you have a stomachache? Mom will massage it for you, so you don't have to waste that money."
Sun Ye hurriedly stopped her, glanced at Sun Miao, and said, "Mom, I'm fine. It was Sun... Taohua who bumped her head and got a big bump. I wanted to buy her some red medicine."
"That's good, what? Taohua bumped into a bag, that's her own business, why don't you just ask her mother? Why did you buy her red medicine? Even if you are kind-hearted, it doesn't mean you can do that. The money in our family doesn't come from the wind."
"Third aunt, it's me. I didn't keep a good eye on my sister. She fell off the chair. Taohua caught her. She hit her head on the chair and got a big bump. Wow wow wow, I... I didn't mean to, wow wow wow..."
As Sun Miao spoke, he couldn't help crying. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He cried so loudly that everyone who was working looked over at him.
When Auntie Sun Si heard her daughter crying, she rushed over, squatted down and wiped the tears from Sun Miao's face, and asked softly, "Miao Miao, what's wrong? Can you tell your mother?"
"Mom! Woohoo..."
Seeing Aunt Sun Si, Sun Miao cried even louder. Aunt Sun Si couldn't get any information out of her, so she turned to look at Sun Ye and asked, "Ye Zi, what happened to Miao Miao?"
"Aunt Si, we didn't keep an eye on Xiao He and almost caused her to fall."
Aunt Sun Si checked Xiao Xiao He and saw that there were no injuries on her body. She patted Sun Miao's head in annoyance and said, "You little girl, isn't Xiao He injured? Don't cry. Be more careful next time, okay?"
"Also, Sun Taohua hit her head and got a big bump while trying to catch Xiaohe."
Sun Ye added, and upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt Sun was stunned, "What? Sun Taohua picked up Xiao He and started making a mess?"
Sun Ye nodded. Aunt Sun Si felt dizzy and performed a facial expression change on the spot. She glared at Sun Miao fiercely and said, "I'll deal with you when I get home!"
If you ask which family in the village Aunt Sun least wants to deal with, it must be Sun Taohua's grandmother's family. The whole family is stingy and it's okay if you don't offend them, but if you do, they will peel off a layer of your skin.
Although Sun Taohua is not valued in their family, she is still their granddaughter after all, so how can they not feel sorry for her?
Fourth Aunt Sun swallowed her saliva and asked, "Ye Zi, is Sun Taohua's condition serious?"
Sun Ye nodded.
Aunt Sun Si gave up hope, pulled Sun Miao, picked up Sun He, and hurried to Sun Taohua's house. Seeing this, Sun's mother glanced at Sun Ye and followed them to take a look. The incident happened in their own home, and it would be unreasonable not to go and take a look.
"Peach blossom, peach blossom."
Aunt Sun was calling Sun Taohua at the gate of the courtyard. Sun Taohua was looking at herself in the mirror in the room and trying to wipe away her tears, but they were too disobedient and kept falling.
"aunt."
"Oh, our Taohua has suffered so much. Come on, I'll take you to the health center."
When Sun's mother saw Sun Taohua's bag, she was also shocked. The area around it was dark purple, and it was scary to look at.
Fourth Aunt Sun took Sun Taohua by the hand, asking about her well-being along the way, showing great concern. When Sun's mother went into the house to get some money, Fourth Aunt Sun gave her a look before turning around, showing that they still had a tacit understanding after years of development.
There is only one barefoot doctor in the clinic. His medical skills are mediocre. He can treat headaches and fevers, but he can't do anything else.
But in the countryside, the pain is not unbearable, you just have to endure it slowly. Who has the spare money to see a doctor and take medicine?
"Doctor Li, how is it?"
"Um…"
"Don't hum, what's wrong!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. Listen to me slowly. It's just a trick. Just apply some red medicine. Don't touch water during this period. Apply it for five or six days in a row and it will be almost done."
After hearing what Dr. Li said, Aunt Sun finally felt relieved. As long as everything is fine, it's fine.
"Then bring me a bottle of red medicine."
After saying this, Aunt Sun felt heartbroken. The family wanted to build a house and every penny was very tight. Now she had lost 60 cents.
I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it anymore, I’ll feel so suffocated and breathless.
"Peach blossom! Peach blossom!"
Sun Taohua's mother rushed over and hugged Sun Taohua in her arms to examine her carefully.
After another round of explanation, Sun's mother, who knew the whole story, did not say anything excessive and accepted the red medicine from Aunt Sun.
The group applied mercurochrome at the clinic and took their children home.
Sun Taohua's family didn't make a fuss after this incident, but the relationship between her family and her grandmother's family became more strained.
Aunt Sun also sent five eggs to Sun Taohua's home to help her with her health. She couldn't help but express her gratitude for helping her own child.
As for Sun Miao, he heard that Pitou had eaten fried rice that night, and the scream spread throughout the entire team.
Sun Ye shuddered when he heard this. He didn't expect that Aunt Sun, who was usually gentle, could be so terrifying when she got angry.
Sun Ye was also caught by his mother and scolded, and three eggs were sent to Sun Taohua's house.
This matter slowly turned a chapter as the swelling on Sun Taohua's forehead disappeared.
The trip of two gradually turned into a trip of three. Sun Ye felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if something that belonged to her slowly became someone else's. She felt very awkward. She knew she was wrong, but she just couldn't control her heart.
"Ye Zi, are you unhappy?"
That night, when Sun's mother saw her daughter sitting blankly in the yard, her back looked a little lonely.
Sun Ye looked at his mother, his eyes filled with confusion, and he looked very bewildered.
"Mom, am I being selfish?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I used to play well with Sister Miaomiao, but now there's another one named Sun Taohua joining us. Obviously I have a new good friend, but I'm not very happy. I just want Sister Miaomiao to play with me."
"Well, we can't say that Ye Zi is selfish. Everyone has their own possessiveness, whether strong or not. But Miao Miao is not your toy. She has her own friends. When you grow up and have more experience, you won't be so entangled and worried about whether she plays with you or not."
"Mom, does that mean everything will be fine once you grow up?"
"Well, that's about it."
Sun's mother didn't have much knowledge, so she could only share her childhood memories with Sun Ye:
"Before, Mom also had a very good friend, and we played together every day..."
"And what happened next?"
"Later, we got married and lived far away. Gradually, we lost contact, and now I don't know how she is doing."
"oh…"
At this moment, Sun Ye said in her heart: She should never get married in the future, marriage is too scary.
If Sun's mother knew that Sun Ye came to such a conclusion after she said so much, she would probably be furious and regret telling Sun Ye these old stories.
The wind blew, all the leaves on the trees fell off, and the bare trunks swayed from side to side.
Sun Ye shook her body and still felt a little cold. Her mother told her to go back to the room and lie in bed to warm up so as not to catch a cold.
