Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer
Chapter 60 Borrowing Money
"I'll get it done right away, but there's a strand of hair that keeps falling out, which is very annoying." Meng Xiaoman turned her face to show him the hair hanging down on the side of her face.
Xiao Xiangdong: "How about you turn around and I can tie it up again for you?"
"Can you?" Meng Xiaoman asked subconsciously.
"Can't we just tie them together?" Xiao Xiangdong asked, isn't this difficult?
"Same." After saying that, Meng Xiaoman turned around and faced away from him.
Xiao Xiangdong held the crutch between his elbows, stabilized his body, raised his hands, and took off the rubber band from her hair. After taking it off, he gathered the hair one by one, held it in his left hand, and used two fingers of his right hand to open the rubber band and pull it on. On the hair. But after putting the hair on, he had trouble tying it up. He twisted it left and right. Either it was empty, or his hair was tangled.
Meng Xiaoman felt that her scalp was loosening and tightening, and she couldn't help but said, "How about I do it myself?"
After several failures, Xiao Xiangdong finally mastered the method and replied: "No, it will be done soon.".
Before Meng Xiaoman's patience ran out, Xiao Xiangdong finally tied up his hair.
Meng Xiaoman wore an explosively tight ponytail, quickly finished her work, and then tied her hair up again.
After Xiao Xiangmei and the others left, Xiao Xiangdong handed the 200 yuan from selling the prey to Meng Xiaoman.
"so much?"
"Yeah, I've been lucky lately, with a lot of prey." Xiao Xiangdong replied.
Meng Xiaoman took the money and put it in the money box.
Since she verified that the food in the space has a certain attraction to small animals, every time she sets a trap, she will scatter some food, but she did not expect the effect to be so good.
With this money, not only can he have a good year, but he may also be able to take Xiao Xiangdong to the provincial capital to see his legs. After taking the medicine twice, his legs have shown some signs of recovery, but the space medicine is not a magic medicine after all, and it still needs to be supplemented by real modern medical treatment.
In the evening, Xiao came up to deliver the recovered trap tools and also took two hares.
"I went to collect the trap, and there happened to be two silly rabbits that fell into the trap. I brought them back to give you a snack."
"You take one back."
Meng Xiaoman asked him to take one away, but he kept one at home.
After dinner, it was already dark. Meng Xiaoman was burning the kang while Xiao Xiangdong was packing the wild rabbit. Suddenly, he heard a rapid knock on the door.
"It's so late, who is it? I'll open the door." Meng Xiaoman stood up and said.
"Ask who it is first before opening the door." Xiao Xiangdong collected the rabbit, put it away, and cleaned up the scene.
Outside the door, Zhang Quanliang, who was at the breeding office, was breathing heavily and talking about his purpose in a hoarse voice. His grandson fell ill, and Dr. Liu from the health center said that there was no treatment available in the team, so he had to be sent to the town's health center for infusion. But my family didn’t have enough money, so I asked if I could borrow some money.
"In a few days, when my eldest grandson comes back from sending the money, I will return it to you." Zhang Quanliang said eagerly.
"How much do you want to borrow?" For things like treating a doctor and saving people, you should still borrow.
"Five, five dollars will do."
Meng Xiaoman was afraid that five yuan was not enough, so she gave him ten yuan.
The old man took the money, bowed solemnly to Meng Xiaoman, said "Thank you", and walked away.
When Zhang Quanliang returned home, he saw a big unity card in his hand. His eyes filled with tears. He wiped his eyes with his thin hands and got on the mule cart.
"What disease does Grandpa Zhang's grandson have?" Meng Xiaoman heated the kang, poured the boiling water from the pot into a thermos bottle, and used the remaining water for washing.
"I don't know, I just know that I have been sick every three days since I was born." Xiao Xiangdong said while washing his hands with soap locust.
"Oh, I didn't go to a big hospital to check."
"I checked it at the county hospital and found nothing. They just said that it was carried in the mother's womb. She is weak and needs to be taken good care of." Xiao Xiangdong washed his hands twice and smelled no peculiar smell before entering the inner room.
"If possible, you should go to the provincial hospital to check. The county hospital is too small." Meng Xiaoman said, "Well, do you want to go to the provincial hospital and have a look at your legs?"
Xiao Xiangdong thought for a while and said, "I'd better wait some time before talking."
Although he now has some feeling in his legs, it's only in his toes. The muscles in the legs are still uncontrollable.
"Don't you want to go? Or are you afraid of spending money?"
"No, not at all." Xiao Xiangdong said, "The weather is too cold now and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It is not suitable for traveling far."
"Okay, let's save some money after the new year, and I will go to the provincial capital with you to see the legs." Meng Xiaoman said.
"Okay." He also wanted to heal his legs so that he could stand with her better.
After washing, Meng Xiaoman made cotton shoes under the oil lamp. As usual, Xiao Xiangdong turned his back to Meng Xiaoman and massaged the muscles of his legs.
"With your back to the light, can you see clearly?" Meng Xiaoman found it funny every time she saw him doing massages secretly.
"No need to look." Xiao Xiangdong whispered.
"Do you need my help?" Meng Xiaoman asked.
Xiao Xiangdong was shocked and hurriedly replied: "No, no need.".
"By the way, I plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. Do you have anything to buy?" The weather was cold and dry. She had run out of facial oil and planned to buy some. In addition, she also wanted to go to the black market to see if she could get some space food. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I’ll send a letter to Haishi’s family to say hello and ask for some New Year’s money.
"I don't have it. I just don't have much seasoning at home. You can buy some."
"Okay." Meng Xiaoman agreed. She closed the cotton shoes in her hand and handed them to the person opposite. "I just finished them. You can try them to see if they fit."
Xiao Xiangdong took it and put it on, "Just right, thank you."
The next day, Meng Xiaoman took the village’s mule cart to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
Xiao Xiangdong is the only one in the family.
When Zhang Quanliang arrived, Xiao Xiangdong was sitting in the main room cracking walnuts.
In autumn, Meng Xiaoman picked up a lot of walnuts. When she saw a lot of honey at home yesterday, she planned to make some amber walnut kernels as snacks. So before leaving, he told Xiao Xiangdong to crack more walnuts.
"Grandpa Zhang, here we come." Xiao Xiangdong greeted, casually carrying a stool for him to sit down.
Zhang Quanliang rubbed his hands nervously and sat down.
"Well, I'm here to give you an IOU. I still have money. I'll give you four yuan first. I'll pay you back the rest when Changchi sends the money back."
As he spoke, he placed four dollars and a folded note on the table.
Xiao Xiangdong did not take the note, but stopped, took an old towel nearby, wiped the walnut chips on his hands, and poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Quanliang, "No rush, we are not in a hurry to spend money now. How about Changming?" Okay, are you feeling better?"
Zhang Quanliang took a sip of water to moisten his thirsty throat and said, "The fever has gone down. I've been given fluids and the doctor has prescribed medicine."
"That's good." Xiao Xiangdong saw that his lips were chapped and he finished the water quickly, so he gave him another drink.
Zhang Quanliang has not taken in any water since last night. When he got home, he immediately wrote an IOU and came here with the remaining money.
"By the way, has Changchi not replied yet?"
Before Xiao Xiangdong finished speaking, Zhang Quanliang's hand shook and the hot water that had just been poured into the cup spilled onto his hand.
"Are you okay? Wipe yourself down quickly." Xiao Xiangdong handed over the towel.
Zhang Quanliang took the towel, put down the water glass, wiped his hands and said, "No, I said I was on an important mission and it took a long time. I'll write to us when I get back."
After Zhang Quanliang finished speaking, he paused and looked at Xiao Xiangdong, "Xiangdong, I'm sorry, if it weren't for that boy Changchi, you wouldn't have..." As he said that, he suddenly lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed softly. stand up.
