Chapter 2414 Reflection

The whole journey from Le Xiao’s arrival at the fat girl’s home to sending the mother to the hospital for stitches and filling out the baby’s birth card information took less than an hour and forty minutes.

The delivery process took less than half an hour, and the journey to the hospital and the stitches and acupuncture took quite a while.

When she finished her work, it was already after half past twelve.

After filling out the information card and having it saved by the hospital, Le was done. He returned to Fat Girl’s hospital room again and explained the precautions for care.

The two neighbors who helped to send the fat girl went home first when the fat girl returned to the hospital. The Yang family had not prepared a meal to send to the hospital, and only Yang Sanpao was watching over her.

Yang Sanpao was naturally grateful.

Because of the snow, it is inevitable that some people will fall. In the past few days, the rural hospital doctor has received injured people who were injured and hospitalized for observation. The fat girl is not the only one who is hospitalized. There are also people who are getting injections. It's not empty either.

Classmate Le Xiao asked his family members, and without further delay, he returned to the village with Handsome Lan.

The black dragon is very good. The little sister has to work, so he follows the handsome guy Lan. The little sister is going home, so he runs ahead happily.

After leaving the hospital, Lan San wanted to open an umbrella to shield the little Lolita from the wind, but she refused. He held the umbrella in one hand and the medicine box in the other, accompanying the little Lolita on the road.

The places on the road that were run over by cars left marks, and the pedestrian paths on both sides were also covered with human and cat and dog footprints. Many shops on both sides of the street were closed, but a few were still open.

It is already noon, and the streets are full of delicious food.

On the street where not even a cat could be seen, the little Lolita and the handsome blue guy looked particularly lonely.

Classmate Le was walking home in a hurry. On another mountain road, Li Xiaoyan was also rushing home.

Every year, there is an exam shortly after New Year's Day. She has no plans to go home to celebrate New Year's Day. However, yesterday morning, her neighbor Liu's daughter-in-law called her and said that her mother was bedridden and might not be able to hold on anymore. .

After receiving a call from her neighbor, Li Xiaoyan was shocked and scared, and finally decided to go home. She returned to Fang County last night and took the morning bus back to her hometown.

Because the road was slippery in the snow, there was no tricycle willing to go to the small village, so she could only walk on her own two legs.

The winding mountain road is all white with snow, not even a single human footprint, only some bird scratches.

The wind was strong in the mountains in winter, and Li Xiaoyan’s face was frozen stiff by the wind. She felt cold and tired, and felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.

The road to Grandma Li’s small village is a bit far from Jiudaoxiang Street.Classmate Le's consciousness usually only circulated around Jiudao Street, and the smell was far away from Xiang Street or Meicun. He didn't know that Li Xiaoyan had returned to Jiudao Township.

When she and Lan Handsome took the black dragon back to the vicinity of Lejia, they heard the noise from the Zhou family, but Lejia was very quiet.

The Le family couple took Le Shan to the Zhou family for dinner. Yi Lao Yan Lao and Li Zhao did not go. They cooked two dishes and had a meal after twelve o'clock.

When classmate Le and handsome boy Lan returned to Le’s house, it had been more than half an hour since the three of them had finished their meal.

Seeing the little girl, Mr. Yi glared: "Little girl, when you come back at this time, if you say you have eaten, it is obviously too soon, and if you say you have not eaten, it seems a bit late. Do you have Haven't you eaten?"

"You keep looking at Heilong's belly, does it look like you've eaten?" Le Yun went straight to the kitchen to see if there was hot water.

"It looks like he hasn't eaten." Mr. Yan looked at the big wolfdog. The big dog's belly was flat. If he ate at the owner's house, the big wolfdog would definitely not come back with an empty stomach.

"Hey, little girl, you helped deliver the baby, but the master didn't leave any food. Isn't this stingy?" Mr. Ant shouted in surprise.

"My wife fell into premature labor and suffered fractures. She is still in the hospital and has no time to greet the neighbors." Le Yun was so convinced that the old man was so idle. Gotta be boring.

　"Oh, that's understandable. By the way, your dad said you must take a shower when you come back. The electric heaters in the bathrooms on the second floor of the South Building and the second floor of the North Building are all powered on."
/>
　"I got it." I originally wanted to see if there was hot water in the kitchen, but I heard that my father had connected the electric heater to boil water. Le Yun took the medicine box from the handsome guy Lan and went up to the second floor.

Lan Sanyin followed Xiao Loli back to Jiudao alone. He didn’t live on the second floor of the north building, but also on the second floor of the south building of the guest building.

Lan San turned around and went to the south building, looking for clothes to take a shower. He didn’t get any blood stains. Because he went to Yang’s house and the hospital, he would be stained with a little bit of blood. He couldn’t smell it because he was afraid of the baby. Loli felt uncomfortable after smelling it, so she went to take a shower and change clothes.

He is a big man with a shaved head. He takes a shower in five minutes, tidies himself up, throws his clothes in the washing machine, and goes to the kitchen of the north building to make food.

Le Xiaololi returned to the second floor, took clean clothes, washed her hair and took a shower, feeling completely new. She could no longer smell the smell stuck to her clothes, and she felt refreshed.

She only blew her hair at the root area and went downstairs to eat first.

Having just made dumplings in the morning, Handsome Lan stopped cooking and cut a piece of fresh lean meat, made a pot of fresh meat and vegetable soup, and ate dumplings.

The big wolf dog eats rice and he does itI dropped a large bowl of rice and ate a large piece of meat, feeling very satisfied.

After eating a bowl of hot dumplings, feeling warm all over, Le Yun sat at the kotatsu table, warming herself by the fire while wiping her hair.

"Little girl, uncle Zhou's wife's family came here last year and wanted to have a dinner with you. You went to attend a classmate's wedding. They have a dinner with you this year, and you went to deliver the baby. You're back now, why don't you come and sit down?"

Mr. Yi looked at the little girl who was gently wiping her long hair with a cotton cloth, looked at her and smiled, saying that the mother-in-law and little girl of the current wife of the Zhou family were here. It seems that the girl is a little bit out of luck. She didn't meet her last year, but she came early this year and made a reservation for dinner, but she missed it again.

"If you are a long-term relative, don't rush for a while. It's normal for something like this to happen if there are one, two, three, or four. Just get used to it." Missing it means that the fate is not close yet. When the opportunity came, we naturally met.

Mr. Yan was very happy. Hearing this, he was afraid that this would not be the last time, and he might miss the opportunity to meet Zhou's uncle and mother-in-law's family in the future.

Li Zhao and Lan San were drinking fragrant tea and didn’t want to ask why.

Little classmate Leshan had dried his hair and was about to go upstairs to work when Leshan came back alone.

When Xiao Leshan returned home, she saw her sister rushing towards her and hugging her thigh, turning into a clingy spirit.

Le Yun politely picked up her younger brother and gave it to Mr. Li to take him to the south building for class.

There is a class at two o’clock in the afternoon in winter, and Leshan was almost twenty minutes late when he came back.

Le Shan Ku laughed and shrank his neck. When he was carried away by his senior brother, he still looked at his sister longingly, hoping that his sister would be soft-hearted. Unfortunately, his sister was hard-hearted and unmoved.

Yi Laoyan was always afraid of being looked down upon by the little bastard, so he simply didn’t go to the south building. Instead, he changed his fire bowl and went to the north second floor to join in the fun.

The little Loli spread out some drawings, and the two elders sat at the golden nanmu table, warming themselves by the fire, eating nuts, playing chess, and drinking tea. They were very leisurely.

Handsome guy Lan watches the two elders playing chess or reading a book.

Le Yun: “…”

She was quite envious.

I didn’t think there was anything wrong before, but now I feel more and more that she was born with a hard life. When she was a nobody, she racked her brains to get rid of the invisible burden and make money to support her family. Now she is not short of money, but And I have to work hard to find a way to present something in an honest and fair way.

Compared with the leisurely life of the two elders, she is simply an old scalper.

It’s a pity that she understands everything, but she can’t give up the peach. If she really does,Zi, people from Yan's side will definitely take turns doing ideological work, which will annoy her to death.

Sighing silently, Leyun accepted her fate.

When Le Xiaololi was busy working on the drawings at home, Li Xiaoyan finally returned to the small village after walking for nearly three hours.

She was tired and hungry, but when she saw the houses in the small village, she felt a burst of strength and courage and walked into the village. When she arrived at her family's mud house, she found that the door was closed and the house was quiet. Quietly, I called "Mom".

But no one answered her.

She called grandma again, but no one answered. Instead, Xiao Liu’s mother from the neighbor Liu family heard the sound and came out to look around. When she saw her, she said: "You are back, your grandma is going to Li's house." Died."

Li Xiaoyan was so panicked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest: "My mother, my mother..."

She wanted to say, "Is my mother gone?" Then He didn't say a word.

"Your mother is not well. You should go back and see for yourself." Xiao Liu's mother sighed with a complicated expression, but did not say anything.

When Li Xiaoyan heard what Xiao Liu’s mother said, Mo Ming felt a sense of fear and her steps became unsteady. She walked to the door of the house with one foot high and one foot low, took off the door buckle and pushed it open. The door opened.

She didn’t even know how she entered the house, she just mechanically walked to the door of her mother’s room, her voice trembling as she called “Mom”.

Mrs. Meng seemed to hear her daughter's voice in a daze, and she woke up a little. She opened her eyes and looked at the dim room, feeling only the cold.

She moved her lips in a self-deprecating way. Xiaoyan was at school, how could she come back? Her mother-in-law would not let Xiaoyan come back.

When she was doubting, she heard another cry of "Mom". She was shocked and asked with difficulty: "Xiaoyan, are you back?"
< br /> Li Xiaoyan thought her mother was gone. She was scared and panicked. Her legs were shaking. When she heard her mother's weak voice, she rushed to the door and opened it: "Mom, Mom-"

As the door opened, a smell of feces, urine and blood rushed over. Li Xiaoyan was almost blinded by the smell. She stood for a few minutes before she bravely entered the house.

The light in the room was dim, so I turned on the light, and then I saw clearly that the broken basket in front of the bed contained a lot of blood-stained tissues, and some paper with yellow stains.

Those papers are the source of the smell.

Li Xiaoyan felt sick for a while. She saw movement on the bed and ran two or three steps. When she got close to the bed, she saw her mother. She was not covered with the blue flower quilt before, but An old, gray quilt.

Her mother’s face was so thin that she had noThere was only a little bit of flesh on it, and it was black. The cheekbones on both sides were protruding. The mouth was so dry that only a layer of skin remained, and the eyes were cloudy.

When Li Xiaoyan saw her mother’s appearance, she burst into tears.

Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Meng was like a dead tree watered by rain again. She suddenly became energetic and sat up: "Xiaoyan, you just came back, haven't you eaten? You go make something to eat, Mom is hungry too.”

“Mom.” Li Xiaoyan burst into tears.

“Xiaoyan, Mom, I haven’t eaten for several days and I feel so hungry.”

“Okay, Mom, I’ll make some food.” Li Xiaoyan saw Mom didn't look like she was about to die, so she didn't panic. She wiped her face and hurried to the kitchen.

When she arrived at the main room, she took off the bag she had been carrying and put it in the main room. She took off her scarf and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

Grandma cooked rice for noon and ate half of it and another half, but it was not enough for two people.

Li Xiaoyan found noodles, took eggs, boiled egg noodles, and served them to her mother. When she saw her mother finished the bowl of noodles, she was really relieved.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Mrs. Meng gained strength and actually got up by herself, went to the kitchen to warm herself by the fire, and said she wanted to take a bath.

Li Xiaoyan ate noodles and helped her mother boil water. When the water boiled, she helped her mother get a bucket and carry it to the room. When she saw the dirty paper ball, she endured the nausea and carried away the broken basket.

She poured the paper balls into the wilted paper in the latrine, walked out of the latrine, couldn't help but retched, and almost vomited out the noodles she had eaten not long ago.

After retching, Li Xiaoyan went back to the kitchen and rinsed her mouth with warm water to feel better.

Mrs. Meng took a bath, changed out of the clothes she had not washed for nearly a month, put on clean clothes, returned to the kitchen, and asked her daughter to boil water to wash her hair.

Granny Li went to the Li family in the same village to ask for advice on what to do if Mrs. Meng died. Although the Li family members were not close to Granny Li’s branch, they could not understand Granny Li’s behavior. They are snobby people with different appearances, because Meng's wife has never done anything to feel sorry for them. Now that Meng's wife is dying, they do not ignore Granny Li or deliberately embarrass her.

The people in the Li family wanted to call Li Xiaoyan back quickly if Mrs. Meng was really dying. Even if Mrs. Meng died, even if there was no banquet and only a few people would be found to carry it out, Li Xiaoyan would still have to kowtow to her in person. In order to be able to hire mourners, Li Xiaoyan did not kowtow, not to mention the villagers, even those with the surname Li who had not been out of the ninth server would not go to help with the funeral themselves.

Granny Li was afraid of delaying her granddaughter’s studies and was unwilling to ask her to come back. Because the Li family had no chance of being accommodating, they said that if Li Xiaoyan didn’t kowtow, they wouldn’t help, so she had no choice but to agree.

Even if she agreed, she did not call her granddaughter immediately and decided to wait. It would not be too late to call her when she was sure that Mrs. Meng was not alive.

She hoped that Mrs. Meng could drag her through Xiaoyan's exam. She was thinking about whether she should go back to take care of her, and she would find a way to calmly wait for Xiaoyan to take leave before she died.

Granny Li, who had some evil thoughts, came back from the house of a member of the Li family. When she arrived at the door, she found the door opened and noises coming from the kitchen. She thought a chicken or dog had entered the house, so she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

I hurriedly opened the kitchen door and suddenly saw Mrs. Meng, who had been lying in bed for the past two days lifeless and struggling to even speak, sitting by the fire pit, giving her a hard time. A clean one, her granddaughter Li Xiaoyan is helping her mother blow dry her hair.

Seeing Mrs. Meng who seemed to be in good spirits, Granny Li felt as if she had seen a ghost. She was so frightened that her heart almost rushed out of her chest, and her voice trembled: "Xiaoyan?"

"Grandma, you're back." Li Xiaoyan looked over when she heard the door, saw her grandma, and shouted happily.

Mrs. Meng also called "Mom" lightly.

After confirming that her granddaughter was back, Granny Li was anxious and guilty. She crossed the threshold unsteadily and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Meng, you look much better than yesterday, but you still hurt. Doesn’t it hurt?”

“Yeah.” Mrs. Meng just said yes, then told her daughter that she felt cold.

Li Xiaoyan hurriedly used a hair dryer to help her mother blow the water-damaged areas.

Granny Li went to sit by the fire pond and watched Aunt Meng for a long time. Her scalp was numb. If...if what the old man said is correct, Sister Meng should be back to her former glory now!
