I live in the countryside

Chapter 4 Must Go to the Hospital (Revised)
No matter how angry Chen Mei is, so what?

The husband stubbornly wanted to help his own sister, and no matter how much she talked, it ended up being endless quarrels at home.

A little later, Aunt Qiao really gave Qiao Zongming a crumpled piece of paper with the account number written on it, and gave it to Qiao Churan, who asked Qiao Churan to go to the bank in the town to help transfer the money the next morning. .

Qiao Churan agreed, and then Aunt Qiao calmed down.

In the evening, she stayed at Qiao's house again, sharing a room with Grandma Qiao.

Seeing Qiao Churan, she smiled apologetically: "Ranran has grown up and is really capable. Your parents will enjoy the blessings in the future. I am so envious of my sister-in-law. I don't have a daughter like you."

With a smile on her face, Qiao Churan ignored Aunt Qiao's words, but said, "If I don't want my cousins ​​to be stabbed in the back in the future, even if I let my uncle continue to gamble, people are just coming to threaten you now. When will you leave?" You lost your life on the road, you can't even envy my mother."

Aunt Qiao's smile completely froze on her face.

*
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Qiao family was completely quiet, and the lights in Qiao Zongming and Chen Mei's rooms were also turned off. Only then did Qiao Churan get up, pour out the water from the kettle, and take out a pack of granules from the box he brought back today. Put it in a water glass, stir it evenly, and when you were about to drink it, you heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from outside.

It was Qiao Yiyao who ran out to play during dinner and came back.

She covered the water glass and left the room, only to see Qiao Yiyao throwing the key in, she was surprised: "Sister, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Qiao Churan frowned: "Why are you back so late?"

"It's the weekend, I relax." Qiao Yiyao touched his nose.

Qiao Churan was not in a good mood: "It's almost time for the high school entrance examination, and you don't take it seriously. Mom is worried about you every day."

Qiao Yiyao's academic performance was not good, and he was most annoyed when others told him about his studies, so he muttered: "I see, can you stop talking about it?"

It's not that he doesn't want to learn, it's just that he can't learn well.

"You're impatient, aren't you?"

Qiao Churan walked over to twist his ears.

Qiao Yiyao quickly dodged: "Don't, don't, I'm listening carefully!"

Qiao Churan was angry and funny, Qiao Yiyao flinched, his sister looked like a little fairy, with such a big temper.

"It's so fierce, no wonder you can't get married!" He muttered.

"Say it again!" Qiao Churan twisted his ear, with a grim expression.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Qiao Yiyao covered his ears and cried, "I said my sister is beautiful, so responsible, I don't know who will have the ability to marry my sister home in the future!"

Qiao Churan kicked him unceremoniously: "...Go take a shower!"

Qiao Yiyao wanted to leave immediately, but his nose smelled a smell very keenly: "What smells like medicine?"

"I burn incense!" Qiao Churan was speechless.

Qiao Yiyao looked at Qiao Churan like a fool: "If you go out like this, people won't think you are stinky?"

Qiao Churan raised his hand, looking like he was going to hit someone, Qiao Yiyao quickly dodged, thinking about what his parents said about her sister resigning and returning, and worried about her future: "Are you really resigning and coming back to farm? "

"If you have something to say, if you have to fart, children don't care about adults' business."

Qiao Yiyao disliked being called a child the most, and immediately his face became stinky, "Are you stupid?"

Qiao Churan: "..."

"Isn't it good to have a big city? Why do you go back to Qingxi Village? If I can go out in the future, I will never come back!"

Qiao Churan: "Then you should study hard."

Yan Yiyao: "..." No matter what you say, you can talk about reading!

Qiao Churan knew what the brat was thinking at a glance, and was about to say something when he saw the wing room opposite the courtyard, and the light in Chen Mei's room suddenly turned on.

Qiao Zongming came out in a hurry and saw the sister and brother in the west wing standing together talking, he was stunned for a moment: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Your mother's back hurts badly, I'll come out and get some medicinal wine."

As he spoke, he took a black plastic bottle from under the table and hurried back to the room.

The siblings hurriedly followed, only to see Chen Mei lying on the bed, her face pale with pain, dripping with cold sweat, and moaning constantly.

"Mom, why is it so serious!" Qiao Churan was startled by her appearance.

Chen Mei was in so much pain that she didn't want to talk to her children at all, but Qiao Zongming nimbly dipped a cloth with the medicinal wine and applied it to Chen Mei's waist.

A pungent smell.

Qiao Churan frowned while worrying: "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Your mother went to the town to look at the medicinal wine she bought. It was given by the old Chinese doctor. If it hurts, just rub it."

Qiao Churan looked at the dark medicinal wine, hesitated to speak, and stood beside her, not knowing how to relieve Chen Mei's pain, but seeing that her head was dripping with cold sweat and the pain was so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, she could only wipe it off for her. wipe sweat.

Qiao Yiyao was kicked out to take a bath, and Chen Mei didn't see the session for a long time, which made Qiao Churan feel anxious.

This back disease is really more serious than she knew.

Qiao Zongming repeatedly poured a lot of medicinal wine, and massaged Chen Mei for about an hour before she gradually got better. Qiao Churan saw that she was so tired, so she didn't ask any questions for the time being, and went back to the west wing with a heavy heart.

Qiao’s house is a typical southern adobe-tiled house. There are eight wing rooms on the left and right sides of the patio connecting the upper and lower halls. There is a large space in front of the room, which is used as a kitchen for sundries. On the east side is Qiao Zongming and his wife. The place where I lived with Grandma Qiao, if Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao come back, they will also live there. The four wing rooms on the west are where Qiao Churan's three siblings live, but the kitchen is on the east side, and the bathroom is on the west side.

Qiao Yiyao had already taken a shower, saw her come back, and asked, "How is Mom?"

"It's time to rest." Qiao Churan said, "Damn it, did your second sister persuade her to go to the hospital?"

Qiao Yiyao pursed her lips: "Second sister is busy, how can I persuade her to go to the hospital when she has time, I just mentioned a few words, besides, even if I persuaded my mother, she would not agree, it's not that you don't know, she is reluctant to spend money."

Qiao Churan frowned slightly: "I'm not at home, so I don't know about it, and you didn't tell me earlier."

Qiao Yiyao scratched the back of her head: "I don't understand. She used to have occasional backaches, but she never saw them as serious as now."

"Is it as serious as tonight?"

"Just... that's about it. Sometimes I see her groaning in pain in the room all night. Oh, I don't understand. You are back, so you can persuade her."

Qiao Churan sighed: "Before Chinese New Year, I want to take my mother to the provincial capital for surgery."

"How much money do you need, is our family enough money?"

"A few thousand." In fact, it's more than that. Qiao Churan consulted that if Chen Mei needed surgery, the cost of the surgery alone would cost [-] to [-] in the provincial capital, which is a huge sum.

Qiao Yiyao didn't know whether to believe it or not, so she just lowered her head and didn't speak. Qiao Churan didn't bother to care about her, and went back to the room with her mind full.

Just convincing Chen Mei to have an operation is a difficult task.

But the situation is like this, we must go to the hospital for a careful examination.
