"Xiao Yu."
Ying's mother hurried forward, eager to reach out to pull him, but Rong Yu suddenly turned sideways and hid behind Rong's father, never looking at them. Mother Ying felt a pain in her heart, and her expression was full of pain.
Father Ying supported Mother Ying, and frowned tightly, as if he didn't expect Rong Yu to react like this.
The atmosphere was momentarily awkward.
Father Rong didn't expect this to be the case. When he went to find Xiao Yu just now, he saw Xiao Xun talking to him. Xiao Yu buried his head in his knees and didn't speak or respond. At first, Dad Rong thought that Xiao Yu just didn't know how to face his family, but now it seems that something is wrong
But his son hid behind him, this act of trust still made Dad a little happy.
"Xiao Yu, call someone." Father Rong pulled out the person behind him, and put his hand on his shoulder, telling him not to be afraid.
Rong Yu pursed his lips tightly and did not move, Father Rong urged him again, Rong Yu raised his head, but still did not look at them, and whispered: "Uncle Ying, Aunt Ying."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Ying's mother burst into tears instantly, she rushed forward and wanted to grab Rong Yu, but Rong Yu instinctively hid back, just happened to step on a boulder, and fell to the ground in an instant, causing him to yell out in pain.
"Xiao Yu." Rong's mother had been standing in the main room, and when she saw Rong Yu fall down, she screamed and ran over.
A group of people gathered around Rong Yu and asked how he was doing.
"Pain, pain..." Rong Yu held Pa's hand tightly, his eyes were red, his lips were white, and he murmured pain.
"Go to the hospital quickly, go to the hospital quickly." Mother Ying stretched out her hand to hug Rong Yu, but Rong Yu hid again, huddled in Father Rong's arms, like a little animal looking for blessing, but because of a sudden movement, the pain caused him to gasp again in one breath.
"Don't touch him, don't touch him." Rong's mother ran over and pushed Ying's mother away, reached out to wipe the cold sweat overflowing from Rong and his forehead, and asked with a sob: "Where does it hurt? Tell mom?"
"Pain in the back," Rong Yu pursed his lips, his face was painful, and his voice was low and soft: "Pain in the back."
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu, mom is here, it's okay." Rong's mother grabbed his hand, holding back her crying, the child was in so much pain that he couldn't open his eyes.
Rong and his head are a little confused, it seems to be a pain in the tailbone, but it doesn't seem to be, I just feel a little out of breath. The choked voice of Rong's mother made him a little dazed, as if he had returned to the night of the typhoon in his previous life.
He seems to be dead, but he seems to be alive, he is in a space with only himself, and occasionally he wakes up, and what he sees is a white world, he is very scared, very scared, until one day, he heard Mama Rong's voice Call him, "...Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, my Xiao Yu, where have you been..."
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu, mom is here!"
This voice was always with him, until one day he woke up and attached to Ying Xun, and that voice never appeared again.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Dad will take you to the doctor right away." Dad Rong picked up Rong Yu and walked out quickly. Tailbone? God bless, it will be fine!"
Ying Xun couldn't get in at all, even Rong and Hurt instinctively looked for Father Rong. Although I know that Xiaoyu has no relationship with him now, but I am still very sad.
"You guys take a rest here, I'll go and see the situation." Seeing that his parents hadn't reacted, Ying Xun comforted him: "He'll be fine."
After the words fell, he ran out, there was only one clinic in the village, and he knew where it was!
The yard was emptied for a while, and even Rong Yao ran away.
"He hides from me, he doesn't even touch me," Ying's mother blushed, tears streaming down her face: "Xiao Yu has held grudges since he was a child, does he hold grudges against us for sending him away?"
"It's okay, don't think about it." Father Ying also felt that Rong Yu's reaction was a bit strange. When he sent Xiao Yu away half a month ago, he still refused, until he was forcibly taken away by two bodyguards. Is it because of being hated like this? up? Ying's father didn't know either.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault." Mother Ying began to cry when she thought of Rong Yu hiding herself and falling, she felt that Xiao Yu didn't want them anymore.
Although the clinic in the village is rudimentary, its medical skills are good. It is an old Chinese doctor. After the inspection, he nodded. Fortunately, there was no real injury, otherwise it would be difficult for the rest of his life.
The old Chinese doctor came out, and the Rong family hurried forward and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a contusion, it didn't hurt the bones, just apply the medicine for a few days and it'll be fine." The old Chinese doctor sat down at the dilapidated table and opened the order. No one understood what was written.
The old Chinese doctor didn't need them to understand, he ordered Ying Xun to climb up and down to help him get the medicine, while the Rong family ran in to see Rong Yu, seeing that although his eyes were closed, the pain was gone from his face, so they were relieved.
Rong's mother carefully wiped off Rong Yu's sweat, pulled Rong's father aside, and said in a low voice: "You said why Xiaoyu resisted them so much, did you, did they come here a month ago and went back to treat Xiaoyu? ?”
Mama Rong didn't forget her face and hide from them, it's obvious that there is a gap in her heart.
"Don't worry too much. Don't ask Xiao Yu about this matter. He will say what he wants to say, and we don't have to put pressure on him if he doesn't want to." Father Rong also felt that something was wrong. Xiao Yu has been here for almost a month. He knows farm work and is afraid of bugs, but he also works hard to help. He has a good temperament and doesn't seem like an ungrateful person. Moreover, Ying's family is tens of millions of times better than them, and he doesn't have any thoughts of disliking the poor and loving the rich.
"I know." Rong's mother replied, she was just angry, she was a good child, but they hurt someone when they came.
Rong Yu was just a little dizzy from the pain at first, but he got up at 5:00 in the morning and did another day of farm work, and fell asleep in a daze.
The Rong family took the medicine and carried the sleeping Rong Yu home.
The Ying family hadn't left yet, they didn't follow up before, and when they calmed down and wanted to follow again, there was no one outside. The population of this village is not large, but the place is very large and connected in all directions, so they don't know where they are going.
At this time, it is busy farming again, and most of the doors of the houses are closed, and they are all in the fields!
The two walked outside with the driver for a while but couldn't find anyone, so they had to go back to the yard and wait anxiously.
It took about forty minutes to see the person coming back, and he hurriedly surrounded him.
"Xiaoyu is asleep, don't disturb him," Ying Xun held the medicine in his hand, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, lest Ying's mother would jump over and wake him up.
"Oh, ah, okay, here, what did the doctor say?" Seeing that Rongyu's face was still pale, Ying's mother asked repeatedly.
"It's okay, just rest for a while." Ying Xun replied.
"Should I go to the hospital for an examination? It's not a trivial matter to hurt the tailbone." Mother Ying was still worried.
"The old doctor in our village came back from the provincial hospital. His medical skills are beyond words." Father Rong hugged Rong Yu, his voice also low, "I'll send Xiao Yu back to the room first, and we'll talk later."
Dad Ying grabbed Mom Ying who was still about to talk, and shook his head.
Rong Yu was brought up by them, and they feel that they have the right to participate in Rong Yu's affairs, but a month ago they forcibly sent him back regardless of Rong Yu's wishes, and they have no room to intervene in Rong Yu's affairs.
"This bed is too hard, let's put a quilt on it!" Ying Xun looked at the hard bed board, his heart throbbing, he must make money as soon as possible.
"This weather..." Rong Yao looked at the sun outside, his face was bitter.
Their house has a tiled roof and there is a grove next to it. Although it is better inside than outside at noon, it is still hot and stuffy. Add a quilt.
"Just sleep on your stomach for two days." Father Rong had no choice but to endure it, "Xiao Xun, go in and help me put Xiao Yu down."
Ying Xun responded, patted the mud on his trousers, and climbed into the middle of the bed.
One person let the other person help, and slowly put Rong Yu into the bed.
The bed board was too hard, and it was uncomfortable for Rong Yu to lie on his stomach. His heart was heavy, and when he moved a few times, his tailbone was pulled, which woke him up painfully.
"This, can you think of a way?" Rong's mother sat on the bedside and wiped Rong Yu's cold sweat.
"I'll ask Grandpa Chen if he has saltpeter." Ying Xun got out of bed, put on slippers and walked outside.
Rong's father didn't realize it for a while, but Rong's mother and Rong Yao knew it.
"Xiao Xun wants to make ice!" Rong Yao explained, "If there is ice in this room, we can put a quilt under it."
Father Rong only had a primary school education, and although he had learned something as a soldier for a few years, he didn't know much about how saltpeter can make ice. On the contrary, Rong's mother used to be a top student. Although she failed to go to university for some reasons after finishing high school, she also studied university courses by herself for two years.
Later, some accidents came to this small mountain village.
"I can do it." Rong Yu didn't want to look so delicate.
"It's better not to be stubborn, you see, your face is red after lying down for a while, you can try to lie on your front if you have a quilt!" Rong Yao wiped his sweat for him, and saw that his pants were all muddy and his face was a little stained , with sweat all over his forehead, he said, "I'll get you a basin of water to wipe it off."
"I'll make the medicine." Mother Rong took the medicine from Father Rong, and confessed to Rong Yao: "Look at my brother!"
"No problem." Rong Yao gestured, took the basin out of the room, and when he walked to the small hall, he saw two people standing at the door, anxious, but did not dare to go in.
Rong Yao smiled at the two of them, and wanted to politely ask if he wanted to go in, but thinking that Rong Yu fell down just to avoid them, he didn't say anything, and went to fetch water.
Rong's parents and Rong's mother also came out of the room. They saw the two whispering hello and took them to the lobby room.
"You see that Xiaoyu is emotionally unstable now, why don't we talk to Xiaoyu and we'll talk about it later," Rong's mother smiled just right, thought for a while, and then said: "Xiao Xun should come back soon, you can talk to him again." Let's talk!"
They were happy about Ying Xun's return, but now that Ying Xun has entered the household registration of Ying's family and is also a member of the Ying family, they are reluctant, and they can't stop them from taking their children away.
"Well, do you think I should install an air conditioner in the bedroom?" Ying's mother heard what they said just now and knew the situation inside: "Don't worry, we will pay the electricity bill."
The current electricity bill is not cheap, one yuan per unit of electricity, and their monthly income in the town is only fifty to one hundred, not to mention that they are still in the countryside.
"We appreciate your kindness, we can't accept it," Rong's mother refused, and said with a smile: "I'll make medicine for Xiao Yu first, you sit down, Xiao Xun should be back soon."
The two elders of the Ying family couldn't stop them anymore.
There were only three people left in the main room. Dad Ying had just left the field not long ago, and his body was covered in mud and sweat, so he had no time to wash it. At this time, he couldn't take a bath, and asked the guests to sit and wait. For a while, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Mr. Rong, after Xiaoyu came back, he..." Dad Ying broke the silence, and didn't know how to ask for a moment. He knew the situation of this family before sending Xiaoyu back. At first, Ying Xun's heart ached, seeing him tanned, and the information I heard was that the child got up at five o'clock, fed the pigs and chickens, and rode a bicycle for an hour to go to school in the town.
After class in the afternoon, I couldn't go home for dinner, so I settled for a few steamed buns, finished my self-study, and went home on my bicycle at ten o'clock in the evening.
At such a young age, thinking of the child he exchanged with was living a comfortable life at home, I couldn't help it for a while. During that time, my tolerance and attitude were indeed much different. After the incident broke out, the old man would send him to Let's go, they didn't actually argue with reason.
Now it's finally slowing down, and the children don't care about them anymore.
"Xiao Yu is quite obedient, he wakes up early every day and will help with the work, he is a good boy, you have taught him well." Father Rong smiled, feeling sad, he has no ability to give the child a good environment.
"He, very early..." Ying's mother's eyes turned red, she wanted to ask if he wanted to get up very early? Later, when she thought about it, didn't she know that the Rong family was in a bad situation and had to get up early to work? For a while, Ying's mother couldn't continue talking.
The son who used to be high-spirited, noble and willful now knows how to do housework and farm work, but she is not happy at all. Thinking that her childhood and future life may be like this, she can't calm down: "I, I want to put Small and with…”
"I'm back," Ying Xun was holding a big bag of things. Whether it was intentional or not, Ying Xun interrupted Ying's mother, "Sit down first, I'll get Xiaoyu an ice basin."
Ying Xun interrupted the topic with a smile, turned around and looked down, he would not let Rong Rong go back, that was the place where Rong Rong was buried.
The hard board bed was covered with mats, and after Rong Yu lay down for a while, his arms, feet and other places were all printed with marks, and the posture of lying on his stomach made his heart feel a little uncomfortable.
Rong Yao had just finished wiping his face, was wiping his neck, and brushing his hair, and almost poured a bucket of water down to wash him.
"Yaoyao, good sister, let me turn over!" Rong Yu had a bitter face, it was too uncomfortable for him to lie on his stomach like this, and he only hurt his tailbone, not his hands, he could wipe his face and hands by himself.
"Don't move," Rong Yao wiped his back along his neck, she knew how uncomfortable it would be to not take a shower after finishing farm work, "After wiping my upper body, I have to change my pants, it's full of mud."
Rong Yu: "..."
He just injured his tailbone, it's a bit difficult to change his pants, Rong Yao wouldn't think about it...
"I can change it myself." Rong Yu said quickly.
"Pfft, don't worry, I'll find my father to change it for you, little brat." Rong Yao put the towel into the basin, scrubbed it twice, saw Ying Xun walking into the small hall with a basin of water, and asked aloud : "I really found it? How do you know that Grandpa Chen has saltpeter?"
"He is an old Chinese doctor, so saltpeter can cure diseases, so there is naturally." Ying Xun said that there is a saltpeter mine on the mountain in the village next door to them, but not many people know about it now, and it was reported and mined several years later. Later, many local people were recruited to work, and Dad Rong also had an accident at that time.
Now Mr. Chen just asks people to dig some for him for medicine from time to time.
"Tomorrow we can go..." Rong Yao stopped talking, he wanted to explain that we would dig some together tomorrow, but thinking of the two distinguished guests in the lobby room, it's hard to say whether Ying Xun will be here tomorrow!
Rong Yao didn't speak again, washed the towel and continued to wipe Rong Yu's back.
Ying Xun knew what Rong Yao had said, so he smiled and said nothing. The saltpeter was poured into the basin, and after the first smog passed, sand began to form. He made two basins in total, and took a few plastic jugs, poured them into cold water, sealed them, and put them in the ice basin, so that he could drink rock sugar water at night.
After finishing these, bring two basins of salted ice into the house, push them under the bed, and the air-conditioning will rise to the bed board, and it will be cold soon.
"I'm fine, I'll ask Dad to change your pants." Rong Yao clapped his hands.
"I'll do it myself." Rong Yu refused.
"I'll come, you go wash up." Ying Xun said first. Rong Yao was also dirty all over.
"Aren't you going?" Rong Yao shook his head, wondering if Ying Xun shouldn't talk to the two distinguished guests now
"No rush." Ying Xun pushed the person out and closed the door smoothly.
He had mixed feelings about Ying's family. He didn't go back until he was fourteen and lived with him for three years. After Rong Yu disappeared, the estrangement between him and the Ying family deepened, and he returned to the Ying family again because of the Rong family's affairs, but that was all.
In the final analysis, apart from blood relationship, the relationship between them is very shallow.
"I don't need you, I'll do it myself." Rong Yuyuan stood up, but was pressed down by Ying Xun, "Don't move, you'll break your tailbone, and you'll have to lie in bed for the rest of your life."
"You're just lying on the bed." Rong Yu retorted, the tailbone pulled again when he moved just now, it really hurt a little, so he stopped moving.
Ying Xun cleaned up the person, changed his clothes, and spread a quilt on the bed when the temperature in the room dropped, so that Rong and the front side would not hit the tailbone.
In the hot summer, the cool air-conditioning makes me sleepy again.
"Don't go to bed yet, I'll bring food over, eat first, and apply medicine!" Ying Xun shook him.
"Call me later." Rong Yu murmured, his mind was confused.
Ying Xun couldn't laugh or cry, turned around and left the small hall.
The three elders in the lobby room were still sitting quietly. When they saw Ying Xun coming over, they quickly got up and asked about Rong He's situation. They were relieved when they knew that he had fallen asleep. It's good if he can sleep.
After asking about Rong Yu, it's time to talk about Ying Xun.
"Rong Rong hasn't had lunch yet, let's talk about it after Rong Rong finishes eating." Ying Xun opened the dining table, and there was only half a bowl of pickles on it.
This is the standard meal of their family, the Rong family is used to it, Ying's parents are not used to it.
"I asked the driver to drive to buy some meat." Mother Ying and the others brought supplements when they came. This is their usual gift list. It can be said to be a heavy gift, but it can also be said to be put here carelessly.
I didn't think so before, but now I don't think so.
"No need, if you wait any longer, your stomach will be starved." Ying Xun refused, went to the corner of the main room to touch two eggs, picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen.
Ying Xun also knows how to cook. He scrambled two eggs very quickly, without salt, and added some soy sauce. It was fresh and delicious.
Ying Xun left with the meal, and the lobby room became quiet again.
The cicadas outside are still screaming, making people irritated.
