all the way

It is now 05:30 in the afternoon, looking at a large bag of onions, cabbage and beans on the ground, and looking at Liu Nana, who is less than two years old, and Liu Mao, whose clothes are all soaked, the family judges that Liu Mao should It was after getting angry with Liu Dongju in the morning that he led the child out, changed back and forth along the way, carried things on the back of the child, stopped and went, and walked for nearly a day before returning home.

As for why she came out after being angry with Liu Dongju, you can tell by looking at Liu Nana's braids, one high and one low, and one front and one back. It must not be combed by Liu Dongju. If Liu Dongju is willing to let When Liu Nana came back with Liu Mao, she would definitely dress up the child beautifully, instead of the current appearance.

When Liu Mao went to Fengxi River to take a bath and came back, Xiumei had already given him the noodles and put them on the kang table.

Su Xiaohui served some to Liu Nana alone with Xiao Ou, but the little girl timidly refused to take it, so she sat beside Liu Mao and asked him to feed her on the edge of Liu Mao's bowl.

Liu Yun and Liu Lei were drooling anxiously beside them, screaming to grab that little Ou, Xiumei took Xiao Ou and fed it to Liu Yun and Liu Lei.

Liu Changqing asked a question, Liu Mao answered, and everyone understood: Liu Mao took a week off and came back to attend Liu Yu's wedding.

About Liu Dongju and the child, Liu Changqing didn't ask a single word, and Liu Mao didn't mention it either.

After Liu Yu came back, he casually said a few things about going to Liu Mao's place when he passed by Luo Gezhuang, and accidentally revealed some things, including Liu Dongju's naming of his son.

All the older children knew that Liu Dengke's name made Liu Changqing very angry. No matter how generous he was, he had been educated in traditional Chinese culture since he was a child, and he had a natural obsession with some traditional family inheritance.

The Liu family is not a scholarly family of aristocratic family, but in the Central Plains, unless the boy in the family is openly married, his child will be named after the woman's family name, otherwise the next generation of boys will definitely be named after the other generation of his family. Even if it is a vulgar name like Big Dog Ergou Sangouzi, it is also a symbol of a family.

Liu Dongju knew this, and of course Liu Mao also knew that Liu Dongju's letting her son name after her natal family was a blatant contempt for the Liu family; Liu Mao's silent retreat on this matter made Liu Changqing feel guilty for him, and finally gave birth to some disappointment .

After eating, Liu Mao was going to go down to help Liu Kui with work. The whole family could see that he was very tired and advised him to rest for a while, but he just smiled silently and went down anyway.

Liu Nana was also exhausted. She began to doze off after eating, and fell asleep before finishing eating. Sun Chang'e put her on the kang in the main room and watched her by herself.

Liu Xia took the cat to get two baskets of wheat straw, and returned to the cave where they lived before Liu Mao went down to help Liu Kui with work.

If facing Liu Mao alone, Mao'er can basically ignore his existence now, but with the addition of Liu Nana, Liu Xia found that Mao'er began to become uncomfortable again, not because of disappointment, but not because of jealousy. It's just pure discomfort, and Liu Xia himself also feels this way.

Sun Chang'e came to find Liu Xia and Mao'er after Nana had slept soundly. He said to Liu Xia who was cutting the cat's toenails, "Yaoer, your second brother is back. I know you don't want to see him, but my dear." , we are a big family, and there is going to be a wedding at home, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you can't deliberately show your brother's face and make so many people in the family feel awkward.

It's not easy for a person to live. For cats, your second brother did make mistakes, but he didn't do it on purpose. At that time, your second aunt and your second sister-in-law were gone, and he and your second sister-in-law were so good, so sad People will get confused when they go too far.

In a long life, who doesn't have a time of three faints and three delusions?When he slowly lost his mind, he and the baby have already separated, and there is no way to make up.

Later, it was your uncle and I who didn't know who he was, and found him a woman who is not a thing. His life is more pitiful than anyone else now. He has no one to live with that woman. If we go back home, we won't Sympathize with him, show him face, let him not even think about it in the future, boy, tell me, what else does he have to do in this world? "

After Mao'er's toenails were trimmed, Liu Xia sat on the kang and held him completely in his arms, resting his chin on top of his head and dangling: "Mom, I didn't mean to embarrass him, Mao'er and I just felt like seeing him I can't talk, especially today he brought Nier back again, I think it's awkward, I just brought the baby back because I was afraid that the two of us would embarrass him if we put our heads down."

Sun Chang'e sighed: "I know you don't want to see Nana, but my boy, Liu Dongju is nothing, and Nana is also your second brother, boy, not to mention that she is only so old and doesn't know anything. Such a shrew, Nier is unlucky enough;

I can't see it now, but she will know when she grows up. If you think about Liu Miao, Liu Sen and the others, you should know that there is a shrew who is not the owner of Guili. She is involved. "

Liu Xia thought about Niu Sannier for a while, and the slight discomfort he felt towards Liu Nana disappeared immediately.

The little girl who is only over one year old is innocent and innocent. Liu Xia's dislike for her is entirely because of Liu Mao and Liu Dongju. After thinking about the little girl's innocence and maybe even misfortune, Liu Xia's heart will naturally disappear. Yes, but if you want him to be friendly to Liu Nana, that's totally impossible.

He said to Sun Chang'e: "Mom, don't worry about it. Even if I feel a little uncomfortable, I won't let our family make a fuss. Just don't ask me to work with my second brother. That's all right, Nier. If you don't see it, I am already this old, and I will still bully her, a child who is less than two years old?"

Sun Chang'e nodded, stood up, and touched the cat's face: "Baby, this is our house, and no one can stand against you. Leave it to our house. You can play as you want, and play as you want." Happy, no one needs to be afraid, you know?"

Cat nodded: "Yeah."

Sun Chang'e left, and Liu Xia turned the cat to him: "Boy, if you don't want to see him at home, let's go to visit Ning tomorrow? Your uncle prepared some goji berries for Uncle Wang, so let's send them to him, little one." Uncle will lead you to another meal of stewed noodles, and we will be back after a day of playing, do you hit it?"

"Medium!" Mao'er happily replied, how could Mao'er not want to be alone with my uncle for a day without seeing Liu Mao.

During dinner, there was a little episode. Liu Yun and Liu Lei were sitting obediently on the small bench and let Xiumei and Su Xiaohui feed them, but they saw Sun Chang'e coming out holding Liu Nana who had just woken up. The two ran over immediately, each hugging Chang'e Sun's leg, and when Chang'e Sun sat down, they stretched out their small hands to grab Liu Nana's face at the same time, Chang'e Sun staggered and lifted Liu Nana up, Liu Na It was Na's little face that escaped the claws of the two little Hades.

Seeing that Chang'e Sun's arms were empty, Liu Yun and Liu Lei immediately squeezed in to occupy them.

Liu Hai took Liu Nana and handed it to Liu Mao. The two little Hades stood in Sun Chang'e's arms, and Su Xiaohui and Xiumei fed them to finish the meal. As long as there was any one of Sun Chang'e, Xiumei and Su Xiaohui Someone wanted to take care of Liu Nana, so the two little guys ran over to occupy this person, yelling, and they were determined not to let them touch Liu Nana.

Liu Xia told Liu Changqing and Liu Kui about his plans for tomorrow while eating, Liu Changqing said: "Go, your eldest brother has also dried a big bunch of Yinhua, and sent one to Mr. Wang; there are many cars on Wangning Street. Take care of the baby."

The next morning, Liu Xia and Mao'er got up at four o'clock in the morning. Liu Xia's plan was to go to Wangning to eat spicy soup and fried dough sticks, but as soon as they left the house, they saw Liu Kui coming out of the main room He said: "Yao'er, Mao'er, your sister-in-law has made the milk powder, come and eat quickly."

Today, Liu Xia enjoyed the same treatment as cats: a big bowl of milk and egg coriander pancakes, and the milk powder was the three-yuan milk powder that Liu Ling brought back from Kyoto.

When Liu Xia was about to finish eating, Liu Kui put ten yuan in front of him: "When I come back, I will buy two catties of peanuts and rice flour, and my uncle explained that he would like to invite the third grandpa and sixth uncle to have dinner in advance in the evening." , drink some wine."

Liu Xia nodded without saying a word, and when he finished eating, he picked up the cat and ran out with his bag of things. Liu Kui called him from behind, and he said while running, "I have more money than you." .”

Liu Kui took the money and threw it out: "You will have to use that money in the future."

Liu Xia laughed and said, "Then I will still make money in the future. People are waiting in line for me to make up lessons. I can make a lot of money as soon as I go back."

Once the cat landed on the slope, it started running happily like a little rabbit. After a few minutes, it was sweating on its head. Liu Xia took off his vest, thought for a while, and gave his own T-shirt After taking off, the two of them just ran around on the mountain road with their backs bare, singing and laughing all the way forward.

When climbing up the kiln slope, Liu Xia found that the cat was panting and sweating, and even shouted "one two three four, two two three four..." It jumped on the spot for four or four beats, and then started Continue to go.

Liu Xia asked him why, and Mao'er said: "My uncle said that when Brother Xiaorui and we grow up, if he doesn't see me off, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on and walk uphill with our legs bent. He said Every time I climb up, I just jump a few times, so that I will remember that when I continue to walk, I must straighten my legs, so that I will not become bow-legged."

Liu Xia gave Mao'er a thumbs up: "What a good boy."

The two came to visit Ning, and there was nothing important, so along the way, Liu Xia didn't stop on the road like he used to go to school. He played with the cat while walking, and he even weaved a wicker for the two of them. Wearing hats, the two leisurely arrived at Wangning all the way.

People were coming and going on Wangning Street, and the dust was flying. Liu Xia took the cat and ran across the street until he reached the gate of the township government. He was used to living in clean places like Jiangcheng and Liujialing. Being covered in dust makes him uncomfortable.

Liu Xia hasn't been to the health center since he went to Jiangcheng to go to school, but Mao'er is very familiar with the hospital now. Last year, Liu Wei went to Rongze to go to school, and the usual task of delivering things to Wang Junyu was left to him and Liu Rui. Liu Kui and Liu Changqing would come in person to deliver dried persimmons and Yinhua and Imperata root sold in traditional Chinese medicine.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Mao'er led him into a room in the outpatient clinic familiarly. It was not the room where Liu Xia sent Mao'er to see a doctor. The hospital was renovated the year before last. has changed.

The young doctor who happened to take a patient's blood pressure saw the cat and said, "Liu An, you're here to deliver something to Dr. Wang after the holiday?"

The cat said with unconcealed pride: "I came with my uncle, did Uncle Wang stay here?"

The young doctor looked at Liu Xia, and replied: "He is on night shift late at night, and he should be resting after checking the room, you can go and have a look later."

Liu Xia nodded at the young doctor, and walked back through the corridor with Mao'er.

The ward building has been rebuilt into two floors, but Liu Xia feels the same as before. The two-story building is a new building with red bricks and red tiles, but the doors and windows are still very dilapidated.

Liu Xia is no stranger to this kind of situation, and his own family is also like this.

The same is true for many families in Wangning who have just become rich. When the main body of the house is built, the family’s financial resources are basically exhausted, and the doors and windows cannot be replaced with new ones. Not to mention the furniture in the house, many of them look brand new and beautiful. If you walk in, you will find that the house is full of dilapidated and old objects. Even so, the owner of the house is already very satisfied. The most important and expensive house is already there, and it would be too much to buy furniture. is it hard?

However, Liu Xia noticed at a glance that the doors and windows of the westernmost room on the first floor were all very new vermilion, and the windows in the middle room on the second floor were also the same. He looked at the room on the first floor and asked the cat: "Then Is it Uncle Wang's house?"

"Well, the new room above is Aunt Xiao Min's room."

The doors and windows of Wang Junyu and Xiao Min's room were made by Liu Kui with the help of He Jialiang. Maoer told Liu Xia in the letter.

Wang Junyu hadn't rested yet and was washing clothes. When he saw Liu Xia, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed: "If it wasn't for being with the cat, I wouldn't dare to recognize you, Liu Xia, it's only been a few days. In just a year, he has grown into such a handsome young man."

He let Liu Xia and Mao'er into the house, Liu Xia took out the things he brought, Wang Junyu squeezed a pinch of silver flowers, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, and said with emotion: "I just didn't want your elder brother Embarrassed, I wanted to let him use these things instead of the ten yuan, but I didn’t expect to deceive you. I have been using the best silver flower and wolfberry for so many years. Mao’er and Xiaorui even gave me almonds once before the holiday. , very good."

Liu Xia said: "I have these things that are born in the mountains. It doesn't cost me anything. It's not only ten yuan for you to help me, but you also saved my cat's life."

Maoer already knew about his milk poisoning when he was a child, and knew that Liu Xia almost died in order to send him to the hospital, but every time Liu Xia was not there when others said it, he couldn't imagine what his uncle looked like at that time. Today when he heard Liu Xia's words, he came over and leaned into Liu Xia's arms, touched Liu Xia's heart and asked, "Uncle, does it hurt you?"

Liu Xia looked at Wang Junyu and said, "Look at my boy, why do you look so stupid? It's been so many years, my uncle will be fine after a while, why does it still hurt now?"

The cat rubbed its head against his chest, put its arms around his waist, and said nothing.

Wang Junyu paused the laundry, and put two glasses of water in front of Liu Xia: "I told him that you were lying on the ground and couldn't breathe after sending him off, and he asked me, did you save my uncle first? Oh, what a sensible child."

Liu Xia patted the cat's head: "Well, my cat is the best kid. I suffered a lot when I was a child, so I must be blessed when I grow up." He suddenly remembered that Wang Junyu lived in a big family in Jiangcheng before he was sent back. I work in the hospital, so I asked: "I heard that many people who were wronged during the Cultural Revolution went back to work. Doctor Wang, why don't you go back and ask?"

Wang Junyu smiled faintly: "A few years ago, someone came to me from my unit, but I refused. Jiangcheng has long since treated me in the past. I think life is good now. I plan to work for a few more years, and then open a clinic by myself. It's easy. spend my old age." He suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, why did I tell you this? I just thought about it on a whim. If I let the hospital know, I'm afraid it will be broken."

Liu Xia said: "If you don't want the fourth person to know, then only the three of us must know before you open the clinic, don't you, cat?"

Mao'er nodded: "Well, Uncle Wang, I won't tell anyone."

Liu Xia was about to ask if Xiao Min was there today, when the curtain was lifted, Xiao Min just came in, she was also taken aback when she saw Liu Xia, but then she called out: "Hey, why is your house so clean and beautiful, children? Huh? Liu Xia, you really have grown into a handsome guy, if you don’t know, who can connect what you are now with that black and skinny kid who came to the hospital with a cat in his arms?”

Before Liu Xia could open his mouth, he heard a woman's quacking laughter outside, and then she laughed loudly without any scruples: "Tell him to ask for leave casually, if you have the ability, go to the Health Bureau and sue me. Let's see how he will talk to others when he arrives at the Health Bureau." Said, didn't he just read a few diaries and letters of his, if he didn't write anything shameful, would he be afraid that others would read it?

Hahaha, you didn't read it, you're still 'dear', bah, shameless, if it was me, if someone found out about such a shameful thing, I would walk with my head in my crotch for the rest of my life. Same, the skin is thicker than the city wall..."

Through the glass, Liu Xia looked at the ugly woman in a white coat, happily chatting and laughing with the other two people and walked over, looked at Wang Junyu in shock, and then looked at Xiao Min: "Her, what does she mean?"

Wang Junyu shook his head and said nothing.

Xiao Min glanced at the door in disgust and said: "Last year, there is a little Chen who graduated from the medical school. Her home is at Gudukou. She wants to introduce him to her cousin. Xiao Chen said that he already has a boy." I lost my friend and offended her. A few days ago, she got off the night shift and went home.

Our health center is small, and there is not enough space. There are stretchers, oxygen bags, cotton wool, etc. in the dormitory for Xiao Chen. There is a key to the dormitory in the duty room. Xiao Chen doesn't know. The table in the health center is broken. She doesn't even have a lock. She may have the habit of keeping a diary. Several years of diaries and letters from her boyfriend are kept in the drawer.

Sun Chunqin and the girl who was on duty with her went to Xiao Chen's dormitory to get cotton wool, found her diary and letters, and showed them side by side. Sun Chunqin taught me what Xiao Chen wrote in Xiao Chen's diary every day these days. She also talked about all the intimate things in the boyfriend's letter, but Xiao Chen was the only one who didn't know about it.

The former son, Xiao Chen, was on day shift. Sun Chunqin wanted to ask her to add medicine to several bottles of water for a patient, and then go to clean the operating room. The operating room was in charge of the director and his wife. Xiao Chen went to clean the operating room, so she just bullied him for not being here.

Xiao Chen graduated from a regular medical school and had been an intern at Yuancheng Medical College for nearly a year. The operation was very formal. I told her not to dispense medicine like that, but to mix one bottle with another, otherwise it would affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Sun Chunqin got annoyed and lost her temper on the spot, but what Xiao Chen said was true, she couldn't say anything, so she took the words in his diary and exposed him..."

"Fuck, why is she so messy!" Liu Xia blurted out the swear words.

Mao'er looked at Liu Xia in surprise: "Uncle, you're calling that ugly bastard, aren't you?"

Liu Xia was gasping for breath, and nodded: "That's right, this bastard bitch bullied us back then, and stabbed you to death when I gave you an injection. I have one more time..." Liu Xia stopped suddenly, embarrassed Looking at Wang Junyu and Xiao Min, he said, "I, I..."

Wang Junyu glanced outside the door, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, some people are not worthy of respect, and no matter how noble a professional title society bestows on her, it can't cover up her own filth."

Xiao Min said: "I feel ashamed to go to work with her." She suddenly turned to Wang Junyu and said, "Uncle, you go out and open a clinic. Go to Rongze or Yuanchengduzhong. They are not so good. You can go out and open a clinic." To make money, you will be fine if you go out, I really don’t want to leave it here, I feel disgusted when I see Sun Chunqin.”

Liu Xia and Mao'er looked at Wang Junyu speechlessly at the same time.

Wang Junyu also didn't know what to say, he paused for a while before saying: "I promised Secretary Wang to work in the hospital for at least ten years, to put all the basic equipment in place here, and to build the operating room."

Xiao Min said: "Secretary Wang has been away for so many years. You don't have any money to live in. How can you arrange things? Haven't you built the operating room? How many operations have you performed in the past few years? Dean Zhao After you were transferred away, they didn’t cooperate with you. During the operation, they didn’t ask me and Xiao Chen to go to the hospital, but to their relatives. Those few people only studied in Rongze Medical School for one year and didn’t know anything. If you go on like this, you won't be exhausted."

Wang Junyu nodded: "If I go out, I will open a clinic, and there are not many opportunities for surgery. Xiao Min, you will have no chance to improve at that time."

Xiao Min said: "Let's open a general clinic. I don't want to improve or not. As long as I don't let me see Sun Chunqin, I will be hit. Being a colleague with her for the past few years will shorten my life for several years. It's disgusting."

Liu Xia knew that Xiao Min had two children now, the youngest was less than one year old, and her husband was a teacher in Chengguan Primary School, so if Wang Junyu went to Rongze to open a clinic, it would be good for Xiao Min's family.

Resigning to open a clinic by myself is not a matter of saying a few words. Xiao Min was on the night shift with Wang Junyu last night. It was more difficult to work the night shift as a nurse. She went to bed after talking for a while.

Liu Xia wanted to leave and let Wang Junyu rest, but Wang Junyu was in good spirits, and he talked to Liu Xia about the scenery of Jiangcheng and the changes in various aspects for a long time, until it was almost eleven o'clock.

As long as Mao'er is by Liu Xia's side, no matter how boring the time is, he can enjoy infinite happiness. He has been quietly listening to Liu Xia and Wang Junyu talking, and he doesn't find it boring at all.

At 11:30, Wang Junyu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat stewed noodles together."
