The person who came was completely black, only the whites of the teeth and eyes were white, and his face was full of sadness, "Pay salary today." When it came to the salary, she showed a bright smile on her face, "For Nier." She didn't seem too tired. "I reckon your father should have finished taking his medicine."

Qiu Lian quickly dropped the fire stick, clapped her hands, took the money she handed over, and put it in her pocket first.He brought a basin of warm water that had just been boiled, "Mom, hurry up and wash up our guests. They look like they are from the city." He sneaked a glance inside, fearing that the people inside would hear and whisper He whispered in her mother's ear: "It looks better than people in the county town."

Qiu Lian sat back, untied the cotton handkerchief, straightened the rolled up money, and counted, "Ah! It's 60 yuan, how come it's ten yuan more." The fire in the stove lit up her happy smiling face.

"We do a lot more than men, so of course we earn more." She took off the scarf wrapped around her head and threw it outside, then washed her face, poured out the dark water, and replaced it with a basin.

"It came so fast." She muttered, she received the telegram, it was from her family, she was just curious and wondered, could it be that the telegram was written wrong?When did the couple have relatives in the customs.Later, I received telegrams one after another before giving them the address. It took a few adults to feel distressed for a long time.It took three full basins of water to wash off the black soot on my face. [

Then I heard Qiu Qingyuan shouting in the house: "Hui Rong, Hui Rong, you are back, you must make a good meal tonight."

"Hey! I know." Hui Rong opened the bead curtain and walked in.

Qiu Qingyuan introduced: "This is your sister-in-law, Mu Huirong." "This is my comrade-in-arms, He Junyao and Li Qingjie."

He Junyao and Li Qingjie had already stood up when she came in.Looking at the person coming, they said in unison: "Hello, sister-in-law!" Although I was shocked by her face, she had short gray hair and a thin face.It is yellow with black, and there are traces of black mud in the wrinkles. It seems that it cannot be washed off no matter how much it is washed.

He Junyao remembered when they talked about their family situation.Qiu Qingyuan's lover was two years younger than him, and she didn't look like someone in her forties at all; looking carefully at her hand, it was a big, black, weather-beaten hand covered with calluses and hard skin that had been worked hard for a lifetime.This is my sister-in-law, those who didn't know thought it was the elder of Qiu Zi's family!

"You guys chat for a while, I'll make two side dishes in a hurry." Hui Rong stood at the door and said warmly to the people in the room, her eyes were clear and bright, and her words revealed refreshment and joy.

He Junyao winked at Li Qingjie. "Sister-in-law, wait a minute. We came from the county and brought some food. Just warm it up." Li Qingjie was carrying a backpack.He also followed out and handed it all to her.

Qiu Lian quickly put down the small square table in the corner, and Hui Rong took it out in the same way.

The instant noodles and ham sausages inside were brought from Yunxian County. I ate some and left a lot to hurry on the way.When we arrived at Qingshan County, we bought some cooked food, including beef in sauce wrapped in kraft paper, stewed chicken, chicken legs, chicken wings, sausages, bacon, elbows, pork heads, and steamed buns.

"So many." There was no room for the small square table.The mother and daughter were surprised.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and fix it." After finishing the words, Li Qingjie walked in.

At this time, Qiu Qingyuan came back to his senses from the surprise reunion of his comrades-in-arms, and his mouth trembled anxiously, "Company Commander, I remember Li San'er's waist...waist..."

When Li Qingjie turned around and heard him talking, he scratched his head with a smirk. "Okay, it's been almost ten years since the bend, and it's just been cured. Counting the days, it's only about twenty days."

Qiu Qingyuan looked at him who had re-entered, his eyes straightened.It kept echoing in my mind, okay... okay....

"Then you are..." Qiu Qingyuan stammered, pointing at Li Qingjie and looking at He Junyao.

"Yes, firstly, we come to see you, and secondly, to see if you have any hope of being cured." He Junyao nodded.

"Let me tell you, Qiu Laoer will really meet a miracle doctor." Li Qingjie said exaggeratedly, "I will definitely be cured, and I will keep you alive and kicking."

When the people outside heard what Li Qingjie said, the mother and daughter rushed in, holding Li Qingjie's hand tightly, "Comrade, tell the truth, my father can really cure my family."

"Yes! Yes!" Li Qingjie patted his chest and assured. [

He Junyao couldn't bear his big bag, put his hand to his mouth, coughed twice, and glanced at him.If you don't understand the situation yet, don't give people too much hope. It's not good to be disappointed.

Li Qingjie scratched his head in embarrassment, "Can we take a look at the second child's legs first?" It seems that there is no way to eat without drawing conclusions.

"Uh! Good!" The mother and daughter Qiu Lian directly lifted off the khaki military quilt that had been washed and turned white and was patched on the bed.

At first glance, it was obvious that it was an item of the army. When he was discharged from the army, the head of the army allowed Qiu Qingyuan to take it home.After using it for so many years, it is already patch upon patch. I wonder if a thin layer can still resist the severe cold?

The person lying on the bed was naked except for a layer of cloth covering the important parts. He Junyao hurriedly said: "It's still cold, let's just look at the legs."

"Uh! Good!" Qiu Lian put the quilt back on, and then rolled up the quilt to reveal her lower body, her two slender legs in vain, which seemed to be normal human legs without deformation.

Since I haven't been in the sun for a long time, my legs are white and white, and the capillaries can be clearly seen.He Junyao touched it carefully, pressed it, and the muscles still haven't shrunk too much.

"No consciousness." He Junyao asked.

Qiu Qingyuan replied: "I didn't feel it all the time, but her mother and I didn't give up, especially this child. He massaged and wiped me from the age of six. Washing, cooking, feeding chickens, and farming with a hoe when he was older. She My mother went out to carry coal underground to earn money, and even men couldn’t bear it, so in order to heal my legs, as soon as they heard that there was no good doctor, they carried or carried me to see a doctor.” Speaking of the sad past, the family of three burst into tears. "With the two of them struggling and carrying it for nothing, it seems like I can't even die. If I die, I will be sorry for their suffering and suffering." He laughed at himself.

"Father, what are you talking about, your life is the most important thing." Qiu Lian knelt on the edge of the kang, grabbed his hand and said.

"That's right! No matter what, even with a paralyzed man like you at home, no one would dare to bully us." Mu Huirong said with a smile, wiping away tears.

"Why is someone bullying you?" He Junyao asked with a cold face.

"No, the people in the village are very kind to us and help us a lot." Mu Huirong shook her head and said indifferently. In the early years, someone from her natal family advised her to remarry, but she didn't listen. Later, she went to the mine for medical expenses. No one dared to mention the appearance.

For men who only pay attention to appearance, no matter how capable women are, no one dares to step forward.

Gradually, the smell of meat penetrated their noses, "Gulu... Gulu..." Qiu Lian cried out from her withered stomach, her face turned as red as an apple, and she squirmed shyly. out.

He Junyao covered the quilt again, and when his hands touched the kang, it was very hot. It is estimated that the kang was next to the stove and the heat was transferred.

"Okay, let's eat first, and we'll chat after dinner." Qiu Qingyuan waved his hand, "Take out the grain wine you brewed."

"Okay! But dad, you can't drink." Qiu Lian opened a corner of the bead curtain, poked her head and whispered.

"You girl, a good father doesn't want to drink, so it's okay for the boss! The shopkeeper." Qiu Qingyuan winked at her jokingly. "She is the head of our family now."

"That's right! She has control over all my wages." Mu Huirong said with a smile, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, other people's children were still studying in the bright classrooms, but she dropped out of school and provoked her early. The burden of the family. "You chatter, I'll cook two more side dishes."

"Mother, if you don't come out, I can do it." Qiu Lian said outside.

"Then I'll take care of you." Mu Huirong said with a smile. [

How could Qiu Lian in the outside world not know that her mother was more miserable than her, and she was ignorant at first, and she also complained about others, and blurted out to her father, "Why don't you die, you have dragged us down." I rushed out and sneaked to the place where my mother was working. From a distance, I saw her carrying a heavy basket on her shoulders, stepping on the dark coal pit walkway, and moving out step by step.Each person has to carry more than ten tons of black coal from the sidewalk every day.Watch her back bend.Seeing the steamed buns being sold along the mouth of the mine, her eyes were so longing, she took a few steps forward, squeezed and pinched the banknotes in her hands, closed her eyes, opened the military kettle, poured it in, Walked into the sidewalk again.That is really bitter and tiring.Qiu Lian ran home, hugged her father and cried all morning, and patted his chest, "You must live, and you must live for us." After crying, she wiped away her tears, Qiu Lian completely changed, Taking care of the whole family, she was only seven years old that year, she didn't understand, she didn't know how, so she asked the people in the village, her hands were burned, smashed, and cut, but fortunately she survived.

Although the hardships of life have tempered such a family, they are always optimistic and open-minded to face the obstacles given by God.Life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten, they learn to laugh at themselves and decompress themselves when encountering difficulties.Only when people have a good mood and confidence can they overcome difficulties, overcome difficulties and get out of the predicament. "The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows." Isn't this also the poet's self-deprecation?

"Mother, where is the food?" Qiu Lian looked at the red stove, wiped away her tears, and shouted loudly after returning from her memories.

"Of course it's placed in the house." Mu Huirong was not polite, fully showing the boldness of the Northeast people, commanding the two big men: "Move the Qiuzi inside, I'll go outside and bring the kang table, you guys Two on the kang."

He Junyao moved Qiu Zi lightly, revealing that the herbal medicine for treating bedsores was spread underneath, which seemed to be homemade, and the sheets were clean and tidy.

Bed sores are one of the most common complications of long-term paralysis in bed. The incidence rate is as high as 1-47%. The course of the disease develops rapidly and is difficult to cure.Unhealed decubitus ulcers can be complicated by fatal diseases such as osteomyelitis, sepsis and hypoalbuminemia, becoming the number one "killer" of typical bedridden patients.
