Chapter 2414: Returning to
the Light: The whole journey from the time when Little Le’s classmate arrived at the fat girl’s home to sending the mother to the hospital for stitches and filling in 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, Mr. Le 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 was inevitable that some people would fall and get injured. In the past few days, the village hospital doctor had received injured people who had fallen and were hospitalized for observation. The fat girl was not the only one who was hospitalized. There were also people getting injections, so the hospital was not empty.
After giving instructions to his family members, Mr. Le Xiao returned to the village with Handsome Lan without any further delay.
Heilong was very good. The little sister had to work, so he followed the handsome guy Lan. The little sister was going home, so he ran ahead happily.
After leaving the hospital, Lan San wanted to open an umbrella to protect the little Lolita from the wind, but she refused. He held the umbrella in one hand and the medicine box in the other, and walked with the little Lolita on the road.
There were marks on the road where cars had run over it, and the sidewalks on both sides were 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 was already noon, and the streets were 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 leisurely manner. On another mountain road, Li Xiaoyan was also rushing home.
There is an exam every year shortly after New Year's Day, and 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 roads were slippery in the snow, no tricycle was willing to go to the small village, so she could only walk on her own two legs.
The winding mountain roads are all white, with no human footprints, only some bird scratches.
The wind was strong in the mountains in winter, and Li Xiaoyan's face was frozen by the wind. She felt cold and tired, and felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
The road to Granny Li's small village is a bit far from Jiudaoxiang Street. Classmate Le's spiritual consciousness usually only circulates around Jiudao Street. In addition, the smell is far away from Xiangjie Street or Meicun. I don't know if Li Xiaoyan returned to Jiudao Street. Daoxiang.
When she and Handsome Lan returned to the vicinity of Lejia with the black dragon, they heard the noise from the Zhou family, but the 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 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. If you say you have not eaten, it seems a bit late. Have you eaten?" "You, sir?
" Take a look at Heilong's belly. Does it look like it has 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 wolf dog. The big dog's belly was flat. If he ate at the owner's house, the big wolf dog 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 for you. Isn't this stingy?" Mr. Ant shouted in surprise.
"My wife fell into premature labor and suffered fractures. She is still in the hospital at the moment. She has no time to greet the neighbors." Le Yun was already convinced that she was old, and the old man was simply bored.
"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 know." I originally wanted to see the kitchen
. Is there any hot water? I heard that my father helped connect the electric heater to boil the 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 to find clothes and 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 the smell of stars. He couldn't smell it because he was afraid that the little loli would feel uncomfortable after smelling it. Also go take a shower and change clothes.
He is a big man with a shaved head. He took a shower in five minutes, cleaned himself up, threw his clothes in the washing machine, and went 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. She looked brand new. She could no longer smell the smell stuck to her clothes, and she felt refreshed.
She only blew the root area and went downstairs to eat.
I just made dumplings in the morning. Handsome Lan didn't cook anymore. He cut a piece of fresh lean meat and made a pot of fresh meat and vegetable soup and ate dumplings.
The big wolf dog ate rice. He finished a large bowl of rice and ate a large piece of meat. He was very satisfied.
After eating a bowl of hot dumplings and feeling warm all over, Le Yun sat at the kotatsu table, wiping her hair while warming herself.
"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 asked you to have a dinner this year. You went to deliver the baby again. You are back now. Why don't you come and sit down? 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, and said that the Zhou family's current wife's mother-in-law and the little girl seemed to have some fate. They didn't meet each other last year. I came early this year and made a reservation to eat, but I missed it again.
"If you are a long-term relative, don't rush for a while. It's normal for things like this to happen if there are two, two, three or four. Just get used to it." Missing it means that fate is not close yet. When the opportunity comes, we will naturally meet.
Yan Lao Yi Lao 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 maternal uncle and mother-in-law's family in the future.
Li Zhao and Lan San drank fragrant tea and didn't want to ask why.
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 was a class at two o'clock in the afternoon in winter, and Leshan was almost twenty minutes late when he came back.
Le Shan bitterly shrank his neck, and when he was carried away by his senior brother, he still looked at his sister helplessly, hoping that his sister would be soft-hearted, but unfortunately, his sister was hard-hearted and unmoved.
Yan 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 the drawings and drew pictures, and the two elders sat at the golden nanmu table, warming themselves by the fire, eating nuts, playing chess, and drinking tea, it was very leisurely.
The 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 to be a hard worker. When she was a nobody, she racked her brains to get rid of the invisible influence and make money to support her family. Now that she is not short of money, she has to rack her brains to find a way. Put something out there with an above board identity.
Compared with the leisurely life of the two elders, she is simply an old scalper.
It's a pity that she understands that she can't give up the peach. If she really gives up, the people from Yan's side will definitely take turns to do the ideological work, which will annoy her to death.
Sighing silently, Leyun accepted her fate.
While Le Xiaololi was working on the drawing 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, so she called out, "Mom." ".
But no one answered her.
She called grandma again, but no one answered. Instead, Xiao Liu's mother from the Liu family, a neighbor, heard the sound and came out to look around. When she saw her, she said, "You're back. Your grandma went to Li's house."
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?" But she didn't say that sentence.
"Your mother is not well. You should go back and see for yourself." Xiao Liu's mother sighed with a complicated expression, but didn't 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 the door open.
She didn't even know how she entered the house. She just mechanically walked to the door of the room where her mother lived, and her voice when she called "Mom" was trembling.
In a daze, Mrs. Meng seemed to hear her daughter's voice, and she woke up a little. She opened her eyes and looked at the dim room, and all she felt was the cold.
She moved her lips in a self-deprecating way. Xiaoyan was at school, how could she come back? Her mother-in-law wouldn't let Xiaoyan come back.
Just when she was doubting, she heard another cry of "Mom". She was shocked and asked with difficulty: "Xiaoyan, are you back?" Li Xiaoyan thought her
mother was gone, so she was scared and panicked, and her legs were numb. Shivering, 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, and Li Xiaoyan was almost inhaled. I couldn't keep my eyes open and stood for several minutes before I 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 placed in front of the bed contained many 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 there was no trace of flesh, it was dark, with prominent cheekbones on both sides, her mouth was so dry that only a layer of skin remained, and her eyes were cloudy.
Li Xiaoyan burst into tears when she saw her mother's appearance.
Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Meng was like a dead tree that had been watered by rain again. She suddenly became energetic and sat up: "Xiaoyan, you just came back and haven't eaten, have you? Go make something to eat, Mom." I'm 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'm going to make some food." Seeing that her mother didn't look like she was about to die, Li Xiaoyan didn't panic and wiped the 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 then went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.
Grandma cooked rice for noon and ate half of it, and there was still another half, but it was not enough for two people.
Li Xiaoyan found the noodles, took out the eggs, cooked the egg noodles, and served them to her mother. When she saw that her mother had finished the bowl of noodles, she was really relieved.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Mrs. Meng gained strength. She 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 ball into the wilted paper in the latrine and walked out of the latrine. She couldn't help but retched and almost vomited out the noodles she had eaten not long ago.
After finishing retching, Li Xiaoyan went back to the kitchen and rinsed her mouth with warm water before she felt 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 stand the snobbery of Granny Li who was a duplicitous person. , because Mrs. Meng had never done anything to regret them, and now that Mrs. Meng was dying, they did not ignore Granny Li or deliberately embarrass her.
The Li family members wanted to call Li Xiaoyan back if Meng Meng really died. Even if Meng Meng died, there would be no banquet but only a few people to carry it out. Li Xiaoyan would have to kowtow in person to hire the mourners. , Li Xiaoyan did not kowtow, not to mention the villagers, even those people with the surname Li who had not been out of the ninth server would not go to help with the funeral.
Mother-in-law Li was afraid of delaying her granddaughter's studies and was unwilling to ask her to come back. Because there was no possibility of the Li family being accommodating, she said that if Li Xiaoyan did not kowtow, they would not help, so she had no choice but to agree.
Even if she agreed, she didn't call her granddaughter immediately and decided to wait. It wouldn't be too late to call her when she was sure that Mrs. Meng was not OK.
She hoped that Mrs. Meng could delay Xiaoyan's exam. She was thinking about whether she should go back to take care of her and find a way to wait for Xiaoyan to take leave before she died.
Grandma 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 open 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 I saw Mrs. Meng, who had been lying in bed lifeless for the past two days and could hardly even speak, sitting by the fire pit, her whole body was clean, 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. Her heart almost rushed out of her chest with fright, and her voice trembled: "Xiaoyan?" "
Mistress, you're back." Li Xiaoyan heard the knock on the door and looked over. , saw grandma and shouted happily.
Sister-in-law 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: "Xiaomeng, you look much better than yesterday. Do you still feel pain?" "Yes.
" Mrs. Meng just hummed, then told her daughter that she felt cold.
Li Xiaoyan hurriedly used a hair dryer to help her mother blow out the water-stained area.
Granny Li went to sit by the fire pit and looked at Aunt Meng for a long time. Her scalp was numb. If...if what the old man said was true, Aunt Meng should be now. Come back to the light!
