grandfather's daughter-in-law

"Feng!"

It was dark, but I could hear her voice.

"Xiuxiu." I shouted, the joy of reunion in the face of death filled my voice with mud.

"come out faster!"

She is at the door.Only a vague figure could be seen in the dark sky, but that little bit of light was enough to support me to walk in front of her.She dragged me halfway, and we had just run out of the house when another violent shock came and we fell together.A corner of the house collapsed with a bang and turned into rubble.In the dark night, the exposed steel bars swayed sparsely like puppets with broken strings.I hugged her forgetfully, and tears mixed with mud stuck to my eyes.I said, "I thought I'd never see you again."

For the first time, I was deeply afraid of losing. Even when she left, when she got married, and even when I got married, I was never so afraid.Because I know she's there, she's healthy and happy, we're just not together, and we'll see each other again someday.All we lack is time.But death, deprived of all possibilities.

She hugged me and stared blankly at the ruins.Broken bricks and dust are flying, window edges and door frames are inserted obliquely, broken wood, and half-buried billboards are still obliquely hanging.Devastated.Maybe a little later, and we'll all be buried underneath forever.The ground is still shaking, but much better.She said, "It's all right."

"I'm scared," I said.

"It's okay, it's okay." She kept reassuring me.My teeth were chattering, but I kept saying I was scared, as if speaking out would stop the fear from grabbing my heart.I grew up by the sea, in that corner called Belai, there is a long river bank.In summer, where the sun sets, a fiery red glow will rise on the river surface, just like a piece of fiery red dye accidentally dropped into the sea, smearing a piece of gold and green splendor.In the river there, there will be dead fish and dogs floating one by one exuding a rancid smell.But there, there has never been an earthquake, no tsunami.

We stood beside the ruins, and I held her tightly by her clothes.White belly appeared on the horizon.As the aftershocks died down, she pushed me away.Her face was covered with dust, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, her clothes were torn, and there were spots of blood.I started to have severe pain in the soles of my feet.I don't know when I lost my shoes.All the physical pain and sensation came back to me at once, and my face started to contort in pain.

"Where did you hurt?" she asked me.

I said it was my feet.She squatted down, and I saw that her back was covered with dirty dust and wrinkled.She asked me to put my hand on her shoulder and lift one of my feet.Actually that would make my other foot hurt even more, but I didn't say anything.She looked up at me, "Try it, can you still walk?"

She supported me, put my arm on her shoulder, and put one arm around my waist.She almost wanted to hug me with all her strength, but she was so thin, she was just a weak woman, and her thin shoulders were not enough to support my weight.I tried to walk on the toes that were not injured, and she helped me to the open space.

Everyone in the troupe stood in that open space, it was a blessed place, there were no cracks on the ground, and nothing that could cause harm.She began to count the number of people injured in the troupe.Ding Jianye looked at me quietly and said nothing.After that, she told her uninjured brother to clean up the mess. Ding Jianye carried me behind his back, and she accompanied the injured brother to the hospital.

After the dressing was finished, I was pushed out by Ding Jianye in a wheelchair and I saw her in the waiting area.She looked tired, holding her belly in one hand, and looked around the aisles from time to time.The dirty creased clothes on her body seemed to have darker spots of blood.

My wheelchair slid towards her with a crisp sound on the cracked floor.

"Second sister-in-law." Ding Jianye called her.She responded with a smile, not looking at me.At that critical moment in the ruins, I thought she knew everything.But she didn't look at me.

"Second sister-in-law, you should go and see the injury too, I'll just look at it here." Ding Jianye said again.

She was probably really injured, holding her belly with both hands, and after a moment of hesitation, she told Ding Jianye the name of the injured person before walking towards the surgery.Just when her figure was about to disappear around the corner, I suddenly yelled: "I'll accompany you." Before I even had time to think about why I said this, my wheelchair creaked and rolled between the cracks in the floor passed.

The doctor who saw her had thin lips, a long thin face and a thin, middle-aged man. He asked Yu Minxiu where she was hurt in a cutting voice. She said her stomach was uncomfortable and she always wanted to To vomit.He explained that this is a very common phenomenon in earthquakes, and some people have special constitutions, which may still be affected after the earthquake.But just to be on the safe side, he advised her to have a full body check.While he was chattering about these things, Yu Minxiu's face began to form a thin layer of sweat.

"No, it hurts too much." She said, frowning tightly together.

Only then did the doctor realize that the situation might be a little unusual, so he got up and walked to her side.She was in too much pain for him to examine the injury, and then the sound of his stiff leather shoes hitting the floor disappeared in the doorway.

"How are you?" I asked her.She didn't even have the strength to shake her head.I want to get close to her, but my damn wheelchair won't get close.I could only watch helplessly as cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face was pale.She bent her body like a shrunken shrimp.After a while, the doctor came back, and there was another female doctor and a nurse.They carried her to the hospital bed, and the corner of the white sheet that covered her was parading among the hurried six feet.I want to go after it, but my damn wheelchair, I'm not used to maneuvering it yet, they're out of my view.

For two hours and seventeen minutes, I waited in the waiting area.What Ding Jianye asked me, I couldn't answer, and I didn't have the mood to answer.Except for the last half of Yu Minxiu's pained and pale side face, everything else is blank.My wheelchair creaked on the cracks in the broken and old floor. I kept walking, but I couldn't get rid of that painful and pale face.How could she endure the pain for so long!How could she ignore her own safety like this!How can you be so selfish!She never thought that there is someone in this world who loves her so much?How can this be an excuse for not loving yourself?

I moved my wheelchair back and forth like a headless chicken, overwhelmed.I was uneasy, never realizing how abnormal my behavior was, and Ding Jianye was so quiet.Then the tall and thin doctor who looked like bamboo came to me, and he said that the female doctor wanted to see us.In the gynecology clinic, the female doctor asked us if we were Yu Minxiu's family.It was a woman in her 40s, with a large dark birthmark on her right cheek, covering her right eye, making her whole face look weird.

"I am," I said eagerly, "what's the matter with her?"

"Don't worry," she looked up at me, unconsciously pressed her right hand down, "she's fine, very lucky." That weird right eye stared straight at me unabashedly, as if to confirm what she said , "She's been pregnant for three months. Although the fetus was gassy, ​​luckily, the baby was saved. It's fine and safe. When she wakes up, you can tell her."

This news shocked me and Ding Jianye on the spot, so that at this moment when we should be cheering, we didn't say anything.The female doctor looked at us suspiciously with her weird right eye.After a while, Ding Jianye said, "Thank you doctor. Thank you." He leaned over the chair to shake hands with her, but she didn't stand up.

"Thank you, I don't need it," she said, "Go back and let her pay attention to rest and pay more attention to diet. The first trimester of pregnancy is the most slippery, so pay more attention." She yelled at the door, and there was a nurse Take us to Yu Minxiu's ward.

Yu Minxiu hadn't woken up yet, the effect of the anesthetic made her sleeping peacefully and breathing evenly.He changed into a clean blue and white hospital gown.I don't know how they did it, but they changed her dirty, wrinkled clothes.On the exposed thin face, yellow iodine was also smeared on the slightly scratched forehead, but the irregular dark black blood was still there.Dried and broken blood stuck to her forehead.

"Let's go, let her rest for a while." Ding Jianye said.

But I don't want to go.Just now, not long ago, in the ruins, at the critical moment of life and death, I thought she knew everything.In just such a short time, she was going to be a mother.

"Let's go." He turned my wheelchair around.I glanced over her face, the white sheet that covered her body, the white sheet that covered her flat stomach, the corner of the sheet that covered her feet, and left her.

Three months, that is, when I got married.On our unsuccessful bridal chamber wedding night, when I was in tears, they succeeded.Now, she was pregnant with his child, and she was going to be a mother.I can't tell what's going on in my heart anymore, it's as if happiness is out for a walk, and I happen to bump into it, I greet it with joy, and get a gentle response, but when I get closer, I realize that I am self-indulgent, happiness is Say hello to those around me.what should i doWhat can I do?My beloved woman is pregnant with a child. I should be happy for her and bless her. This is God making up for the child she lost.This new life will bring her family happiness.But my heart is so aggrieved, happiness just faltered at me, but forced me to be as noble as a gentleman, how difficult it is to force others.
