Chapter 4
Because Xu Di insisted, Xu's mother Li Hua went back to work and left her food coupons and money, allowing her to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
That was the era of planned economy, and there were many things that you couldn't buy even if you had money.
Because Xu Di was in the hospital, he had patient meals to eat, so I went to see him at noon.
After Xu's mother passed away, Xu Di lay on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking about his future.
Wang Lan left Xu Di's ward and returned to the ward where her grandson was staying.
"Mom, how's that girl?"
"He was saved, but he suffered a lot. The nurses said that he stopped breathing yesterday, but he was saved. This is a great favor!"
Wang Lan felt scared at the thought. If the man couldn't be saved, her grandson would have to bear the burden of a life in his future life, which would be too heavy a burden.
"It's a great favor. We need to thank her for this. Mom, how old is the girl? What can we do for her?"
"I'm seventeen years old and will be a sophomore in high school in September."
These things were said by Xu's mother, and Wang Lan and the others also talked about these things when they were chatting.
"You're still in school. This is not easy to do. We can't just give you the money, right?"
"That's not possible. If someone doesn't do that, they can't accept him. Xu Di is the girl who saved Kang Kang. Her parents are both regular workers at the Beijing Red Star Machinery Factory."
Wang Lang works in the Women's Federation and is good at chatting about family matters.
"What should we do? We can't just pretend nothing happened, right?"
"Let's see. If this child has good character, you can give her the job your father-in-law left behind as a way of repaying Kang Kang for saving your life."
Kang Kang was the only patient in the ward, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have to avoid others when talking to each other, but they deliberately lowered their voices.
"Mom, that was the compensation my dad received from his work unit after he died."
"It doesn't matter. Our family is small and we have been the only son for generations. Liang Bo has no brothers or sisters, and no close relatives at home. It's worth it to use the favor left by Grandpa Kang Kang to protect the child from disaster."
Wang Lan is open-minded. She doesn't have any close relatives at home, and it's not that level of relationship.
The value of a job at this time is quite high.
Xu Di didn't know yet that the problem that was troubling him was about to be solved.
In the afternoon, Kang Kang's mother, Yan Fangfang, came into Xu Di's ward carrying a net bag of food.
"Xu Di, I'm Kang Kang's mother."
"Hello, sister. I'm fine now. I'll be discharged tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of your nephew. He's so young, he must be scared."
Xu Di quickly sat up. This family was really polite. But it was also true that although Xu Di had returned to the Ninth Heaven after her tribulation, she had really stopped breathing at that time.
"Xu Di, you saved my son. I will always remember this. You are still young and may not understand the feelings of a mother."
Thinking of her son's lifeless face when he was rescued, her heart was trembling.
Xu Di thought, she was also a mother, how could she not understand the feelings of being a mother.
She raised her son with great difficulty, and when the child was sick, she, as a mother, wished she could feel sad for him.
"Sister must be a good mother. My little nephew is so lucky. He has a good mother just like me."
Xu Di did not lie. Mother Xu was really good to the children in the family. She did not favor any one of them and tried her best to treat them equally.
I am more partial to my original self because I felt a little guilty about not growing up with him.
"Sister, let's visit each other often in the future. Eat more of these things to replenish your body. When your nephew gets better, I will take her to my house to introduce her to the family."
Although it was the first time Yan Fangfang met Xu Di, she felt pretty good about him and felt comfortable getting along with him.
How could she not feel uncomfortable? In her previous life, Xu Di was already in her forties and was also a mother of a child, so the two of them could relate to each other.
Yan Fangfang was worried about her son, so she didn't say much. She left a net bag of food and left.
Xu Di looked at the nutritional products that were in line with this era, and found that they were quite complete, including malted milk, canned peaches, peach cakes, and milk powder.
In the evening, Xu's father and mother came with Xu Di's younger brother Xu Jun.
"Xu Di, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Mom, I'm fine now. I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow after the doctor has examined me. I won't be discharged until the doctor gives the OK."
Xu's mother made the final decision, and Xu Di had no choice but to agree.
"Second sister, are you scared?"
Xu Jun is seven years younger than Xu Di and is just ten years old this year. At that time, Xu's mother was injured when giving birth to Xu Di and thought she could no longer have children.
Unexpectedly, I got pregnant again when I was in my thirties.
There was nothing I could do but give birth to the baby.
"I didn't think too much about it, but it was really uncomfortable to pour lake water into my mouth."
"Then I have to be careful next time and not fall into the water."
Xu Jun patted his chest and said, "The second sister in the family is the most capable. She can go up mountains and down rivers." She said she felt uncomfortable, so it must not be good.
"Yes, you should be careful not to play in deep water, especially not alone."
The brother and sister discussed for a long time. Xu's mother looked at the sky and asked Xu's father to take the younger son back. She would stay with her daughter at night.
"Mom, you should go back too. There's no place to stay here, and you have to go to work tomorrow. These things were sent by Sister Yan, Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law. You should take them back too.
If the doctor says I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, I will go home directly. Don't worry, I'm old enough and can take care of myself. ”
Xu Di assured her again and again, so Xu's mother did not insist. Judging from her condition, she was recovering well.
After a sleepless night, Xu Di got up in the morning, packed his things, and waited for the doctor to come for rounds.
"He is recovering well and can be discharged from the hospital."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you for your help."
Xu Di thanked them and went to say goodbye to Aunt Wang and the others. "Auntie Wang, Sister Yan, the doctor said I'm fine and can be discharged from the hospital. How's my nephew? Is he feeling better?"
"Much better. Maybe I was scared. I still have a little fever."
Yan Fangfang looked at the energetic Xu Di and felt completely relieved.
"Kang Kang, your name is Kang Kang, right? Do you remember my aunt? We fought monsters in the lake together, and you were very brave and drove the monsters away."
"Fighting monsters, really? Why don't I remember it? I just remember it was so uncomfortable and dark."
"Of course it's true. Auntie is injured. If you don't believe me, just look."
Xu Di raised his arm and found a long cut where he was scratched.
"Really? I went to fight monsters. I'm as powerful as Sun Wukong. I'm not afraid anymore."
The little child on the bed, about three or four years old, had a red face with excitement. He really believed that he was a hero who defeated the monster.
"You are the hero who defeated the monsters. You don't need to be afraid. Only the monsters are afraid of us."
Xu Di understood that if a child suddenly fell into the water, he would definitely be scared.
Such a young child will become unhappy if frightened, and in serious cases will have a fever, or even convulsions and convulsions. Her son was frightened when he was a child.
"Aunt, are you leaving?"
"Yes, Auntie is going home. We have defeated the monster. You should also work hard and go home early."
"Well, I'm not scared anymore. I want to go home early too."
The little guy was quite cute. Xu Di reached out and high-fived him.
"Auntie Wang, Sister Yan, I'm going home. I hope Kang Kang will be as healthy as his name suggests."
"Thank you, Xu Di."
Xu Di waved his hand and left with his things.
It's sunny and hot in Beijing in August.
According to the memory in his mind, Xu Di left the hospital, took the bus home, went to a place that was both strange and familiar, and started a new life.
In this life, she wants to change the way she lives. She doesn't want to live a lonely and angry life with someone. She would rather live with someone who brings money home and is not at home.
Xu Di knew that it was impossible for her not to get married in the 1970s.
Then choose someone who works away from home all year round and sends his salary home to start a family, and live a rich and leisurely life.
She wanted to give birth to two more lovely children. She loved children in her heart and could not live without them in this life.
