life struggle

When the old man was buried and the crowd dispersed, Wu Pingshun rushed home weakly. From a distance, he saw Wu Xiaosen's mood was abnormal, angry, and Zhang Bingxin came out of the house with a blank face. He felt that there must be something wrong inside. 【 】

When the three met head to head, Wu Xiaosen said in a blunt tone, "Father, this kid Xiaojun is lawless. Look at the chaos in the whole family."

Wu Pingshun frowned, and asked sharply, "What's the matter, why are you so angry at Xiaojun?"

Zhang Bingxin continued, "Second Uncle, at home just now, Xiaojun chased Brother Xiaosen like crazy with a wooden stick. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Brother Xiaosen will definitely suffer if he is one step late. I'm waiting ahead, so I won't tell you more."

Wu Pingshun was a little puzzled, why the two of them were able to fight, and after much deliberation, they couldn't find a suitable reason, let alone a clue.At home, Xiaojun's mother, Xiaoyun, and Xiaomei were frowning, angrily recounting what Xiaofu had done in the past, Xiaojun squatted in the corner with a serious face, his head was lowered and he was holding a branch on the ground. Stop paddling and pulling.

Seeing Wu Pingshun coming back, several people complained in a hurry. Wu Pingshun gritted his teeth angrily, with bruised veins, and said angrily, "You still want me to live, do you think I'm not dying fast enough? It’s not messy enough. Don’t talk about it, it was a good thing, but you guys made it like a goose’s nest, messy, shameful and thrown to the county.”

Wu Xiaoyun was full of grievances and cried, "If Xiaofu hadn't come to my house to beat me at night, I would have ignored him. If he beat me, if he didn't give me a reasonable explanation and a clear statement, I would have nothing to do with him and let others care." There are too many people, and I have to fight with him, and I am not the only one who is ashamed.”

Xiaojun's mother said, "Her father, Xiaoyun can't be blamed for this matter. My daughter is also very wronged. Let her vent her anger and let her feel better. You and I have been nagging for a few days. Noisy, I fight with you endlessly, isn't it all caused by burying graves, and Pingming instigates behind the scenes, following the example of whoever catches and bites whomever?"

Wu Pingshun was about to open his mouth to get angry when he suddenly felt a dull pain in his abdomen, which was obviously swollen. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, he kept panting heavily, his whole body was trembling, and his head was sweating profusely.

Wu Xiaojun saw that Wu Pingshun's expression was a little strange, so he hurriedly asked, "Father, what's the matter with you, is there something wrong?"

Gritting his teeth, Wu Pingshun lightly adjusted his lying position, snorted, and said lightly, "I'm full of breath, can you feel comfortable? Don't bother me, let me be quiet for a while."

About ten minutes later, Wu Pingshun was in such a terrible pain that he couldn't bear it any longer, so he forced himself to sit up and said, "Xiaojun, quickly help me to go to the toilet."

Wu Pingshun was gently supported by Wu Xiaojun and had just walked into the toilet. Before he had time to untie his belt and squat down, he had a burst of diarrhea and suddenly passed out. With both shoulders, he shouted hoarsely, "Mother, my father has passed out. The eldest sister hastened to the village clinic to call the cripple, and the second sister hastened to call the neighbor. Dad, wake up, dad, dad, can you hear me?"

When Xiaojun's wife saw the old man collapsed on the toilet pit, her face turned pale with fright, she was dizzy, and hurriedly turned around to get a pair of pants from the house, went to the toilet to wipe Wu Pingshun clean, and changed the pants.Wu Xiaojun carried the old man out of the toilet, gently put him on the bed, and fed him some light salt water, Wu Pingshun's complexion was slightly relieved.

Not long after, the village doctor Liu Lizi limped over sweating profusely. After a while of "listening, touching, and looking", he quickly infused liquids and said with a sad face, "It seems that Brother Shun has a relapse of stomach problems. We have to hurry up and find a way to send him to the county hospital, if we are too late, it will delay his condition, delay his treatment, and cause accidents."

It has been raining for several days, and the road leading to the county has become a muddy road that is impassable for vehicles of all sizes.Wu Xiaomei called Wu Xiaoliang and Wu Pingchun to discuss what to do.Wu Xiaoliang said, "Quickly ask someone to notify Xiaofu and Xiaoqi, find two long bamboo poles and ropes, pack up the things, tie up the bed, and carry them away."

Neighbor Mrs. Zhao was both enthusiastic and fast-talking. She was the first person from the village to arrive. Before Wu Xiaoliang could finish speaking, she said, "I'm going to imitate Fuxiao now, and tell them two to come over quickly." Then she turned and ran. out.

Many men, women and children in the village heard that Wu Pingshun had suddenly become seriously ill, and they flocked to him one after another in a panic, not only to check on his condition but also to see if there was any help.Wu Xiaoqi heard what Mrs. Zhao said, and ran over worriedly, and quickly packed everything together with the others, waiting for Wu Xiaofu to come over.

I saw Aunt Zhao running back from the door panting, and said out of breath, "Let me tell you, Xiaofu said, Ping Shun is not his father, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies, if he refuses to come, don't wait." He's dead, let's go."

Wu Pingchun stomped his feet angrily, "Why did my second brother raise such a beast that eats people and doesn't spit out bones? You guys, you are tired from work. Let's just pretend that my brother doesn't have this child. Let's go."

Wu Xiaoliang cursed viciously with a livid face, "You bastard, you're not as good as pigs and dogs, let's go."

A dozen or so young and strong boys were divided into three shifts, stepping on the muddy road in turn, carrying Wu Pingshun to the county town with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Wu Xiaojun and Xiao Qi held the liquid bottle with their hands, and Xiao Yun and Xiao Mei followed closely with their backpacks, crying and crying. At six o'clock, they finally arrived at the county hospital.

The doctor on duty knew that it was Wu Xiaosen's father, so he didn't dare to be negligent. After some examinations, he was initially diagnosed as "dumping syndrome after gastric perforation".

After finishing all the formalities, it was almost late at night, Wu Xiaoqi said, "I can't stay up late, my head hurts when I stay up late, I have to go home and sleep."

Wu Xiaosen gave him a blank stare, and said angrily, "Let's go, let's go, if you are there or not, my dad can stay here at night, as long as you don't feel guilty." Before Wu Xiaosen could finish speaking , Wu Xiaoqi has slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

The next morning, Wu Pingshun woke up after a night of non-stop transfusion observation, his condition was under control, passed the critical period.After some examinations, the attending doctor was more optimistic about the condition. Because it was not a perforation, no surgery was needed, and it was enough to be hospitalized for a few days of fluid infusion.The four Wu Xiaosen brothers and sisters, who had been on tenterhooks and nervous all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiaojun felt weak in his stomach and intestines and was very hungry, so he came to a fried dough stick porridge stand across the road outside the hospital.Just sitting down, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, and found a familiar figure not far away walking towards Shengxian Middle School leisurely, and he was overjoyed.
