Chapter 354 The worldly atmosphere (32)
It’s not good. My uterus is injured. I’m lucky to be alive. I won’t be able to get pregnant again.
"Being alive is better than anything else." Chunhua's widowed sister-in-law spoke first, and was worried that her brother-in-law might have some ideas.
Guo Chengzhi really didn't despise them. His heart and eyes were filled with his wife and son. He felt more regretful, "It's my incompetence that I didn't take good care of them."
But it's useless to just say these things. The reality is right there. Chunhua's body can't produce milk, and the child is a premature baby. What do you think we should do?
I couldn't afford milk powder, so I could only have rice soup... How could a newborn baby eat? Chunhua, the widowed sister-in-law, could only take the child and go to a familiar family in the village to ask for help in feeding the baby.
In this situation, Yun Tinglan really can't get away. She is the only one in the clinic and has to stay there. Now she is just a poor barefoot doctor, but there is no nurse to help take care of the patients.
If Chunhua's condition relapses, she will be able to save her in time.
"You send grandma back, I'll go boil the medicine."
When Song Jinhan came over again, she had a lunch basket in her hand, and she stuffed a wrap for Guo Zhicheng who was accompanying her.
Smelling the fragrance, Guo Zhicheng swallowed hard.
He is also an educated youth, an old educated youth at that, but his situation is even worse. His parents are still in the May 7th Labor Reform Camp. In any case, good things will never come to him, and he is always the one doing the hard work.
He was married into Chunhua's family last year, and he had little contact with Song Jin and was not familiar with him. When they met, it was considered polite for him to nod his head.
But only those who have been beaten mercilessly by life know that sometimes self-esteem is really worthless, and that is what happens when people are poor and have low aspirations.
He took the roll and was reluctant to eat it, so he wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms, wanting to save it for his wife.
This incident almost resulted in a death. Everyone who heard about it sighed, but no one said Chunhua was stupid. They just kept saying, "It's all because of life. There's nothing we can do about it."
With no food, not enough to eat, and a lot of foreign debt, they can only think of various ways to deal with it. Tell me, if there are other ways, who would torture themselves like this?
Whose life is not life, whose pain is not pain?
Again, there is no other way.
It's not that Yun Chang'an is unflexible, this is the rule set by the commune. He can be more considerate when assigning tasks, but when it comes to distributing food... he really can't.
There is a fixed number for all of them.
Your family has a new baby, OK, we will give you some rations. Not yet born? Sorry, I will give you some rations next time.
Once an exception is made, just wait, every pregnancy will have to come to us, and there will be endless cases of fake pregnancies, miscarriages, and multiple births.
Various problems and contradictions will follow.
Whose family is not in need? Whose family is not short of food? You give his family a share, why don't you make an exception for my family? Bribery? Something fishy? It's unfair, and all kinds of dirty water and insults will be thrown at us.
So, there must be a reason why the rules are set this way, and we really can’t make any changes.
When food was distributed at the end of the month, Chunhua's family had a new baby, so they did get an extra ration. However, the child was born prematurely and had a weak body, so whether it was worth it and whether they would regret it later was a question that everyone had their own opinion.
But sharing food is always a happy thing.
Yun Tinglan and Song Jinhan didn't get much food, but they could buy from the brigade, and the price was lower than the grain station. When someone came to their house and offered eggs and game to exchange for coarse grains, they would also exchange them. Everyone knew that Song Jinhan was rich and well-connected, so no one was surprised to see that their food was good.
Lin Shufang also bought a lot, keeping some for herself and giving some to the old men and women in her parents' home.
Chunhua's widowed sister-in-law brought a small bucket of loaches. "Xiao Guo got up early and went to the river to catch them. Please don't despise them." She looked grateful. "Thanks to my sister, my Chunhua was able to be saved..."
Uncle Ma next door is a veterinarian. He said at the time that Chunhua had already died, but the girl managed to snatch her back from the King of Hell. This is a great favor.
But the family was poor and couldn't afford any good things, so they could only find ways to get some loaches and small fish. The big ones would be sent to Chunhua, and the rest would be given to Chunhua to nourish her body.
Yun Tinglan did not refuse. It would be more painful to make them owe a favor to such an honest person than to kill them. He was the typical person who would rather suffer a loss himself than owe others.
She asked Chunhua's widow with concern, "What should we do about the baby's milk?" If there was no other solution, she still had some baby formula powder, which she got in the name of Song Jinhan.
Song Jinjiao was famous in the brigade for being extravagant. People said that he drank milk powder and malted milk every day. Although the truth was not so exaggerated, he had never lacked it. Old lady Song sent him money every month.
Now that Xinzi has been replaced by Song Jinhan, he naturally doesn't like to drink that stuff, so he gave it all to Ms. Qi Cuixia. Then Ms. Qi Cuixia made a cup of milk powder every day, brought it to Yun Tinglan, and stared at her drinking it.
He could escape in the morning, but not in the evening. People remembered it clearly, and Yun Tinglan was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.
As soon as Ms. Qi Cuixia went out, she praised her son-in-law, saying that the boy was considerate and left all the milk powder and malted milk for his younger sister to drink so that she could replenish her body.
Whose daughter-in-law has such a good fortune? It must be her younger sister who is lucky. After hearing this, the people who gathered together to chat were extremely envious.
Every time this happened, there could be heard the sound of thunder and clanging coming from Yun Duoer's house.
So, it’s normal for her to take out milk powder.
"Sister Shuan sent us three cans of milk powder, saying that she wanted Xiao Guo to help teach her son. In fact, we know that Sister Shuan saw that we were in trouble and wanted to help us."
What is there for a fool to learn? He can eat and dress himself now because of Shuan's wife who taught him how to read for more than ten years. It's better to say that she is helping Shuan's wife to take care of the child than teaching Baosheng to read.
Chunhua's widow talked about the matter of adopting godparents again. She felt that she had received a favor from someone and had no way to repay it. This kindness was overwhelming. Being able to do something for them at least showed that they were not so useless. "... For the next hundred years, whether they carry banners or hold basins, it will all be our family's business. We will definitely not let my sister-in-law and her family be bullied by the little ghosts over there..."
Yun Tinglan understood what Shuan Sao was planning. It was better to provide timely assistance than to add icing on the cake. The downfall of the Gang of Four was imminent, and the day for Guo Zhicheng's parents to be rehabilitated was not far away.
How could the Guo family not be grateful to Yu Shuan Sao for saving their grandson? For Yu Shuan Sao, someone would help take care of her affairs after her death. For Yu Baosheng, after she left, he would have an extra layer of security for the rest of his life.
Qi Cuixia also said, "She is a kind-hearted person." Anyway, her impression of Shuan Sao changed a lot. After this experience, the villagers quickly accepted their family.
Qi Cuixia handed the scallion oil noodles to Yun Tinglan. She said at noon that she wanted to eat scallion oil noodles, so Ms. Qi Cuixia made it for her in the evening. To be honest, it tasted definitely better than the one made by Song Jinhan.
But Yun Tinglan wanted to eat what Song Jinhan made more. She felt that his scallion oil noodles were more palatable, and she shoveled the noodles in small bites.
Then I heard Ms. Qi Cuixia talking to Yun Changshan about Yun Changhe again, "Today your second brother came again, crying that no one would take care of him in his old age, and insisted that you find a way to get Huaer back. They know it very well, knowing that among their three daughters, only Huaer is obedient and reliable.
Tell me, why do they have to bother Hua'er? They are really smart, but they only do stupid things. If Hua'er goes to work, she can bring back ten yuan for them every month. If Yun Duo'er really goes..."
Ms. Qi Cuixia snorted coldly, "Just wait and see, they won't get a penny..." Don't come around like a sticky candy again.
This is what she was worried about.
