Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

"Jipigou Gold Mine? Where is it? Is it far from the provincial capital?"

Since her husband's accident, Shao Minzhi has been asking everywhere about Chen Ruiqing's whereabouts.

But Chen Ruiqing moved to several places in the past few years. Before Shao Minzhi could inquire, Chen Ruiqing was assigned to another place.

In the past few years, there has been no news about Shao Minzhi’s husband.

Now when she heard that her husband was in a gold mine, Shao Minzhi shed tears of excitement.She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and asked Sheng Xiping expectantly.

“In Huadian, it’s not too far from the provincial capital, but it’s not close at all.

Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Brother Chen has just arrived in Jiapigou not long ago, but he is doing very well. It is estimated that he will contact you in a while. "

Sheng Xiping often heard Chen Ruiqing talk about these things in his previous life, and he remembered them very clearly.

It is estimated that Chen Ruiqing will write back in some time.

"Well, well, as long as he is still well, I'll be relieved. It doesn't matter whether he gets a letter or not, but don't cause any more trouble for us."

The tears that had just been wiped away were now falling down her cheeks. Shao Minzhi couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground and sobbed.

"Oh, Minzhi, don't be like this. This young man comes all the way to see you, so let's just let him come in and sit down and drink a glass of water."

At the door of the house, an old lady was holding the door frame with one hand and holding a stick in the other hand, touching the ground and groping out.

You can tell at a glance that this old lady cannot see.

This old lady is probably Aunt Li who stayed with Shao Minzhi and her son.

How would a lonely old man with poor eyesight lead his life with Shao Minzhi, mother and son?

Sheng Xiping sighed again and took two steps forward, "Sister-in-law, where are the two children? Before I came, Chen Gote asked me to see the two children, okay?

The little girl was only a few months old when he left. She must be five years old now, right? "The main purpose of Sheng Xiping's visit this time is to see that girl.

According to what Chen Ruiqing said in her previous life, it was speculated that it was during this period that the little girl suddenly suffered from diarrhea.

Shao Minzhi had no money to take her child to the provincial capital hospital for treatment, so she sought treatment from a barefoot doctor from the brigade.

The barefoot doctor gave me a few injections at first, but they didn't work, so he said he was giving me special medicine.

As a result, the special medicine didn't work, so the barefoot doctor increased the dosage of medicine without authorization.

Shao Minzhi didn't know at the time that the barefoot doctor was using chloramphenicol, and the dosage was illegal and excessive.

It didn't take long for the child to have bleeding spots all over his body, and his nose often bleeds.

Shao Minzhi felt something was wrong, so she took the child to the commune hospital.

People at the hospital said that the child's condition was quite serious. He seemed to have acute aplastic anemia, a very difficult disease to treat.

Let Shao Minzhi take the child to a major hospital in the provincial capital for treatment, and maybe something can be done.

Doctors said that the sudden onset of this disease in the child should be related to the illegal use of large doses of chloramphenicol by the barefoot doctor.

By that time, Chen Ruiqing had already stabilized his position at the Jiapigou Gold Mine, and he had also helped the gold mine improve its gold refining technology, significantly increasing its gold output.

Chen Ruiqing made great achievements, and the leaders of the gold mine took the initiative to report to their superiors that Chen Ruiqing should be retained as a technical consultant in the gold mine.

Chen Ruiqing himself had no fault. It was only his identity and experience that caused him to suffer such crimes.

Since Chen Ruiqing has made up for his mistakes and made up for his mistakes, his superiors will no longer pursue him and allow Chen Ruiqing to work in the Jiapigou Gold Mine and continue to research and improve gold mining and refining technology.

Originally, everything was going in a good direction. If he persisted for another year or two, Chen Ruiqing could take over his wife and children and reunite his family.

But it happened that at this time, Chen Yue, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, got so seriously ill.

If acute aplastic anemia is left to future generations, there may still be a way to treat it, but in this day and age, how can there be any way?

The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine and boiled it into a bitter soup. Xiao Chenyue drank a large bowl at a time.

In addition to taking medicine, Xiao Chenyue also needs blood transfusions once a month.

Let alone a family like Shao Minzhi's, even a good family can't afford it.

In order to treat her child, Shao Minzhi borrowed everything in the village and asked for help.

The people in the village are pretty good, there are some who can't stand it, and they feel sorry for Chen Yue who has to suffer this at such a young age, so they can lend a hand to help.

However, the cost of treating Xiao Chenyue's condition is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

After Chen Ruiqing learned about her daughter's condition, she took a desperate risk and stole gold from the gold refining room in order to treat her daughter's illness.

As a result, he was arrested and almost sentenced to death.

At any rate, the mine leaders had a love for talents and conducted a detailed investigation into the reasons behind Chen Ruiqing's theft of gold. In the end, Chen Ruiqing was sentenced to jail for theft, and the work unit gave Chen Yue a sum of money for her treatment.

Unfortunately, Chen Yue was too young and her illness was too serious. In the end, no one could save her. Little Chen Yue closed her eyes and passed away when she was just over five years old.

Shao Minzhi went crazy because of her daughter's death and Chen Ruiqing's imprisonment. His son was raised by the villagers.

When Chen Ruiqing came out, there was nothing left to do.

But he had the ability, relying on his old relationships to do some business and so on. As his life slowly improved, he also found ways to treat his wife's illness and bring his son back to teach him.

It's a pity that his son Chen Feng, a very smart boy, was unable to study because of the pressure of life.

Of course, Chen Ruiqing is capable, and his son is not worried about his future.

But Chen Ruiqing always felt that she could not forgive her daughter-in-law and her children, and she would live in regret all her life.

These things were all mentioned by Chen Ruiqing in her previous life. Sheng Xiping could only remember them so many times.

He didn't know the specific time when Xiao Chenyue got sick, he only guessed that it should be during this period.

So after studying at this meeting, Sheng Xiping hurried over to see if he could help.

"Two children? Xiaofeng took Yue'er out and ran away to who knows where.

Brother, come inside and sit down.You see, I'm just here to cry, and I don't even invite my brothers to come in and sit down. "

No matter when, children are a woman's weakness.

Even Shao Minzhi, who collapsed like Shao Minzhi, quickly regained her senses after Sheng Xiping mentioned the child. She stood up from the ground, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and greeted Sheng Xiping into the house with an embarrassed smile.

Sheng Xiping nodded, not politely, and followed Shao Minzhi into the house. When he reached the door, Shao Minzhi went over to help Mrs. Li.

"Uncle Gao, please come in and sit for a while. Thank you for bringing my eldest brother to my house." Shao Minzhi thought about it and turned around to greet the old man again.

The old man thought about it, Shao Minzhi, a woman with two children, living in the blind woman's house, was prone to trouble.

Now there is another young man looking for them. If word spreads about it, there will be gossip.

Therefore, Lao Gaotou was not polite and followed him through the door.

"Ahem, thank you for what? You are also a child I have seen since childhood. It is not a big deal, so I will help as much as I can."

Mrs. Li's house has two and a half rooms, one in the east and one in the west, and the middle half is used as a kitchen.

Sheng Xiping and others entered the east room. When they saw the house, Sheng Xiping frowned.

Even if the old house of the Sheng family is quite old and dilapidated, this house is even more dilapidated than the old house of the Sheng family.

Sheng Xiping even wondered, how could he live here in winter, with ventilation everywhere, without freezing people?

Looking at the house again, there was nothing. I guess this was the house where old Mrs. Li lived. There was just a luggage roll on the bed and a pair of boxes on the floor.

It can be said that the house is surrounded by walls. If a mouse comes in and wanders around, he will cry when he leaves.

"Sister-in-law, this is what I brought for the children. Don't be too little, keep it for the children to replenish their bodies."

Sheng Xiping took out two boxes of snacks and two cans from his backpack.

Before coming, he speculated that Shao Minzhi and her son were not living well, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, so he bought snacks and cans.

If he had known this, he should have thought of a way to send fifty kilograms of grain.

Those canned snacks are just a trick, but they can't keep up with the reality of food.

Fortunately, he still had some food stamps and the like in his pocket. If not, he could leave some money for them later, which would be considered a little thought from him.

In any case, Chen Ruiqing was good to Sheng Xiping in his previous life.

Without Chen Ruiqing's enlightenment, Sheng Xiping would still be looking for life and death. If he couldn't save everything, he would die one day, and there would be nothing to do next.

Not to mention, the two later went into business together, and Chen Ruiqing taught Sheng Xiping a lot.

So no matter from which aspect, Sheng Xiping had to return the favor, and given the situation at Shao Minzhi's family, she had to find a way to help.

"Oh, no, no, no, why are you buying these things? They are quite expensive.

If you come all the way and tell me the news about Ruiqing, I don't know how to thank you. "Shao Minzhi looked at it and waved her hands hurriedly.

These things are too expensive. If I don’t know you, it would be great if they can send me a message. How can I ask for other people’s things?

"Sister-in-law, Brother Chen and I have a life-long friendship, no matter what.

This time I came to the province for a meeting and dropped in. I was really in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything.

It's just a little bit of thought for you to keep things. "

How can there be any reason to take back something that has been given away?Besides, this thing didn't mean anything to Sheng Xiping.

"Minzhi, since I've sent it to you, just accept it." Over there, the old man coughed and spoke for Sheng Xiping.

"Well, that young man came all the way to deliver the message. Now you know the man's whereabouts. That's a good thing.

Hurry, hurry up and prepare two dishes, at least let others have a meal. "

Lao Gaotou was reminding Shao Minzhi that it was almost noon and guests were coming from a long way away. No matter how poor the family was, they still had to take care of the meal.

"Hey, hey, yes, uncle, I'm getting ready to go."

Shao Minzhi was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she didn't look after the food, but that this family really couldn't provide anything good to entertain.

What they usually eat are vegetable dumplings, which are wild vegetables in the beginning of spring. At this time, they are vegetables from the fields, mixed with a small amount of cornstarch noodles, rolled into dumplings and steamed.

How can this thing entertain guests?

Shao Minzhi gritted his teeth and decided to go out and go to his brother's place to borrow some food. No matter what, he still had to cook a meal to entertain the guests.

"Sister-in-law, stop working, I'm not hungry and I ate late in the morning.

I came here just to tell my sister-in-law how Brother Chen is doing, and to take a look at the children. I am waiting for when I pass by Huadian so I can talk to Brother Chen.

Sister-in-law, you'd better go and get the child back first. I have something else to do and I have to go back as soon as possible. "

In this house, what can we offer to entertain you?Sheng Xiping didn't want to embarrass Shao Minzhi, so he sent Shao Minzhi away on the pretext that he wanted to see the child.

There wasn't even a clock in the house. Shao Minzhi had sold all the things she had saved in the city in the past few years, including the watch she had when she got married, in exchange for food.

So she didn't even know the time, so she always looked at the sun outside.

Looking at it now, it's probably past ten o'clock. The child has been out for a long time, so I really need to look for him.

"Big brother, sit here while I go out to look for the child."

Shao Minzhi was thinking of going out to get some food under the guise of going out to look for her children.

There are vegetables at home, and in the garden this season there are all kinds of vegetables, but if there is no food, we can't let people just eat vegetables.

No matter what happens, we have to find a way to get some food back.

As it happened, as soon as Shao Minzhi stepped out of the house, her son Chen Feng came back from outside with his daughter Chen Yue.

"Mom, look, brother Xiaoqiang gave me a fish today. Mom, let's make fish for lunch and give it to my sister."

The boy happily carried a grass carp weighing about one kilogram and skipped to his mother to offer the treasure.

Before Shao Minzhi could go out of the door, she was blocked by her son and daughter, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Look at the big grass carp in my son's hand. This thing is not delicious at all without oil and water.

But looking at her son's innocent little face, what could she say?

"Xiao Feng, Yue'er, come into the house with mom quickly. There is an uncle at home who knows your dad. He said he has met your dad. Hurry up, uncle wants to see you."

The children have come back. Shao Minzhi has no excuse to go out, so she can only lead the two children into the house to meet Sheng Xiping.

"Quick, call uncle." Shao Minzhi took a child with one hand and asked the two children to call someone.

The two children, Chen Feng and Chen Yue, both looked timid. They hid behind their mother, carefully leaned out half of their body, and called softly, "Hello, uncle."

"Hey, okay, okay, Xiaofeng, Yue'er, come to uncle and let him take a good look. There is delicious food here."

Sheng Xiping hurriedly took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and waved to the child.

Sweet candies and colorful candy wrappers are great temptations for children.

But even though the Chen family's children were full of desire for candy, none of them stepped forward to grab the candy. They still hid behind their mother, leaning out half of their bodies to look at Sheng Xiping.

Little Chen Yue even pursed her lips.

"Here, take it. Uncle is your father's good friend. You can take the candy that uncle gives you."

When Sheng Xiping saw this, he knew that both children were well-behaved and well-educated, and felt even more distressed.

"Sister-in-law, let the child take it quickly. It's just a few pieces of candy." Sheng Xiping said hurriedly.

When Shao Minzhi saw this, she had no choice but to say, "Just keep what uncle gave you. Don't forget to thank uncle."

The two children then came out from behind Shao Minzhi, stood cautiously in front of Sheng Xiping, and looked up at Sheng Xiping.

"Uncle, do you know my dad? Where is he? Why doesn't he come to see us? I have forgotten what dad looks like."

Chen Feng did not go to get the candy, but raised his head and asked Sheng Xiping.

The light in the room was not good, but Sheng Xiping could still clearly see the appearance of the two children.

Both children are very thin. To describe them as skinny is about the best.

He is thin, dark, not tall, and the clothes he wears are torn and old.

Maybe he couldn't even find a patched rag, so he had to leave one hole after another in his clothes, exposing his flesh.

Chen Feng should be eight years old this year, and Chen Yue is five years old, but both children look obviously shorter than their actual age.

Needless to say, if the children live in poverty for a long time and are malnourished, how can they grow as tall as ordinary children?

Moreover, the two children were sallow and thin, and their hair was dry and yellow. They looked really distressed.

In fact, Sheng Xiping understood that at this time, there were many children like Chen Feng and Chen Yue, and he could not stop feeling sorry for them even if he wanted to.

But this is Chen Ruiqing's child after all. The friendship between the two of them was there in their previous lives. Even if they had never met in this life, Sheng Xiping couldn't bear to see his child like this.

However, what can Sheng Xiping do?Even if he helps, he can only help for a while. The most important thing is Chen Ruiqing.

As long as Chen Ruiqing doesn't get into trouble in this life and keeps working in the gold mine, maybe this winter, or next spring, or at most next winter.

No matter what, I can take my wife and children away, and life will get better and better in the future.

"Your father is working in a place far away. He asked me to come and see you when I pass by.

Let me tell you, be obedient and sensible. After a year and a half, dad will find a way to pick you up. "

Sheng Xiping raised his hand and touched the top of Chen Feng's head.The child's hair is dry, rough, and stiff.

"Really? Dad really said he would come to pick us up? I thought he didn't want us anymore."

The little boy's eyes were filled with tears. A child without his father to protect him had been bullied and insulted overtly and covertly.

When others beat him, scolded him, and called him a bastard without a father, he didn't cry and just beat him back hard.

But at this moment, the little boy couldn't help but cry.

"Good boy, your father just can't help himself, it's not that he doesn't want you.

Come, take this candy and eat it with your sisters. "

Sheng Xiping raised his hand, wiped away the tears on the little boy's face, and then put the candy into the child's hand.

Chen Feng stopped crying, held four or five candies in his hand, peeled off the wrapper of one of them, bit it open with his teeth, kept a small half in his mouth, and stuffed the other half into his sister's mouth.

Holding the rest with both hands, he brought it to his mother, "Mom, these are for you, I just need to taste them."

Shao Minzhi, can an adult snatch food from a child?

"Mom, if you don't want it, give it to Grandma Li and Grandpa Gao." Shao Minzhi took her son's hand and pushed it out.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng hurriedly distributed the candy in his hand to Lao Gaotou and Lao Mrs. Li.

How can two old people argue with their children? Candy cubes are a good thing in this day and age, so leave them to the children to satisfy their cravings.

"Grandpa doesn't eat it. Grandpa doesn't have many teeth anymore. If he eats sweets again, these teeth will fall out. You guys eat it, good boy, and keep it for yourself."

The adults didn't want it, so Chen Feng had to take the candy back and give it to Shao Minzhi to put away for them.

Shao Minzhi just said, let her son put it away by himself, and take it out to taste together when he is greedy.

"Brother, the candy is so sweet, so delicious." Xiao Chenyue has never eaten candy a few times since she was born.

This sweet taste fills the mouth, making the child happy, and the beautiful eyes are full of crescent moon.

Seeing the child so satisfied eating a piece of candy made several adults present feel very uncomfortable.

Shao Minzhi couldn't help but shed tears. When they were in the city, although they were not a wealthy family, their life was prosperous and their daily necessities were provided. Why did the children have to suffer like this?

Looking at now, Shao Minzhi felt that her previous life was just like in her dream.

Sure enough, as people say, there are blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there are no hardships that cannot be endured.

Little Chen Yue was eating sweets and looked very beautiful. Suddenly she felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She bent down and covered her stomach and shouted, "Mom, my stomach hurts."

As soon as these words were shouted, everyone in the room was frightened. Old Gaotou and Old Mrs. Li both thought that the child was eating candy.

Lao Gaotou immediately stood up from the edge of the kang, took out the tobacco pouch from his waist, and glared at Sheng Xiping.

"Boy, is that candy poisonous?

I just said, "How can anyone be so kind for no reason? Are you trying to harm the three of them?" "The old man asked angrily.

On the other side, the blind old lady also tightened her grip on the stick in her hand.

"Oh, you are so heartless, you are causing trouble to everyone. Minzhi and the other three are already like this, why are you here to cause trouble to them?"

Even Shao Minzhi's expression changed, and he stepped forward to save his daughter, "Yue'er, spit out the candy quickly."

At this time, she didn't even bother to scold Sheng Xiping, all she could see was her daughter.

Chen Yue finally got a piece of candy, but she kept her mouth closed and refused to spit it out.

But Shao Minzhi was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to open Chen Yue's mouth and claw it out.

At this time, Chen Feng suddenly spoke.

"Mom, Yue'er told you this morning that she had a stomachache. She had diarrhea several times this morning, and it was all loose."

Shao Minzhi paused and suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.

In the morning, my daughter complained that her stomach hurt, and then she went to the toilet and had a bowel movement. During the day, her daughter went out to play with her son. She was busy working in the vegetable garden at home and didn't pay attention.

Co-authored, it’s not the candy that’s the problem.

"Brother, I'm sorry. We blamed you wrongly. The child had a pain this morning. He will be fine after having a bowel movement. I didn't care."

Shao Minzhi looked at Sheng Xiping with an embarrassed look. I'm so sorry. I misunderstood him.

Sheng Xiping shook his head, "Sister-in-law, it's not a trivial matter for a child to have diarrhea. Let's take her to the hospital.

Don't procrastinate. If something goes wrong due to procrastination, it will be difficult to handle. "

Sheng Xiping also didn't expect that he would come by such a coincidence, just in time for the child to have a stomachache.

"No, no, I'll burn some garlic for her later and try. If it doesn't work, just go to the barefoot doctor in the brigade and get an injection."

The hospital is quite far away. It's common for children to have stomach upsets, so don't bother. "

Shao Minzhi thought to herself, where does the family get the money to take the child to the hospital?

But in front of Sheng Xiping, she couldn't just say it, so she could only push it away like this.

She thought that after Sheng Xiping left, she would burn some garlic and feed it to the child. Diarrhea would usually be cured with this method.

She didn't want to, but Sheng Xiping's face darkened, "Sister-in-law, that barefoot doctor has all kinds of medical skills.

I don't know what the medical skills of this man in your village are, and whether he can treat Yue'er well.

But there is a village next to our forest farm, and the barefoot doctor in that village once encountered a patient with diarrhea.

He gave the child chloramphenicol, saying it was a special drug. However, not long after the injection, the child developed red spots all over his body and his nose began to bleed.

I went to the county hospital for a checkup and was told that it was acute aplastic anemia, which seemed to be leukemia.

The child was gone very quickly. "Sheng Xiping used other places, but he was actually talking about Chen Yue in his previous life.

Of course, aplastic anemia and leukemia are two different diseases.

Sheng Xiping is not a medical student. He doesn't know much, so he thinks they are all blood diseases and they are all the same.

"Sister-in-law, adults can get over their problems even if they straighten up, but children can't.

If something happened to the child, would you regret it to death?When Brother Chen comes back in the future, how will you explain to him? "

Shao Minzhi had lived in the city after all. She was an educated person. When Sheng Xiping mentioned leukemia, she was frightened and turned pale.
