Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

Chapter 26: My Cousin is Back

"Sister, I really want to eat like this every day." Xinyue said with emotion while touching her belly.

"Yes, one day you will be able to eat whatever you want." Su Qiuyue said comfortably while lying on the bed.

It feels so good to eat well.

The remaining buns and vegetables can be eaten tomorrow morning.

Another pot of water was boiled in the pot and left to cool slowly. A little more water was boiled today. At night, the three sisters slept on the kang like pancakes.

I couldn't help but look for water to drink when I woke up in the morning.

The meal last night was so good and the kang was so hot that Su Qiuyue was afraid that they couldn't digest it, so she only heated up corn grits porridge with some pickles in the morning.

The two little ones finished their meal obediently and then cleaned up the dishes consciously.

The water that was frozen yesterday has turned into ice. Su Qiuyue collected the ice cubes made from the boiled water and secretly put them into the space.

The ice in the bucket is not frozen through. Just take off the iron bowl on top and pour out the water in the middle.

Su Qiuyue did not waste it and poured it directly into other pots and continued to freeze it.

The ice bucket is made. It can be placed outside to store things and can also be used as an ice lantern during the Chinese New Year.

The school was on vacation, Xu Hua and Xinyue were playing at home, so she went to her cousin's house.

She told him to make a wooden rack that could hold large baskets or mats, which she would use to dry medicine in the future.

Her cousin had seen that kind of thing before, nodded, and told her that he would make it for her when the time came.

Su Qiuyue went to see the team leader again and asked the villagers to help make the baskets.

The brigade doesn’t have any infirmary now. Wherever the medical staff and the team doctor live is considered the infirmary.

If there is no medicine, they have to find it themselves.

Su Qiuyue said that she wanted to collect herbs for next year, and the captain agreed immediately to send them to her when the time comes.

While waiting, Su Qiuyue continued to study during the day and froze ice at home. Then she put it away in a separate space.

When people were able to go out on the ice and it was almost the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, my cousin came back.

After receiving the news, my cousin borrowed the brigade's ox cart and went to pick up the people early.

Su Qiuyue and the others were waiting at her cousin's house. Her second cousin had heated up the kang early, and had food warming in the pot and a kettle heating water on the stove.

This wait lasted until the afternoon.

Xu Hua went home and called them back, and the sisters ran out immediately.

When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw human figures in the distance, but they didn't care about anything else and just ran over there.

When they saw that except for the aunt who was a little weak and the cousin who had recovered, everyone was happy and asked questions chatteringly.

Su Qiuyue saw her cousin chatting with the coachman, and her face was full of joy.

My eldest cousin has lost a lot of weight and doesn't look very well. They have been taking care of patients for more than a month and have become irritated and have trouble eating or sleeping.

I'm not even twenty years old yet, and it's really a lot of pressure.

The little cousin hadn’t seen his mother for a long time, so he reached out to be hugged by his aunt, but was hugged by his older cousin.

The whole family returned home happily.

After everything was arranged, I sat on the kang and listened attentively to my cousin talking about what had happened in the past few days.

“My little sister got a seizure on the road and I was totally scared.

Fortunately, the train attendant helped us. When we arrived, he helped to contact a car and took us directly to the hospital.

We went straight to the emergency room. I didn't understand the various indicators that were checked, but it was very urgent. Later, we were sent directly to the emergency room and many tubes were inserted into him.

I didn't understand any of this either. The doctor's words were like a foreign language. Later, another doctor came to explain that the smallpox had not been properly treated, and the poison had been contained in the body.

The situation was very dangerous at the time. They said that it could cause failure at any time, which means that the internal organs would be damaged and unable to move, and then it would be the end.

My mother passed by then.

My older brother and I were stunned for a moment, but luckily we were in the hospital and the doctors and nurses around us helped to rush him to the emergency room.

This examination revealed that my mother was also sick and her condition was quite serious, so I quickly asked someone to continue the examination.

I never thought it was cancer.

My eldest brother and I sat in the corridor of the hospital and cried. We didn’t know who to kowtow to at that time. "When my eldest cousin said this, her eyes became wet again.

Everyone in the room listened to her in silence. They felt nervous when they were not around, as they felt so helpless when they were around.

The cousin quickly calmed down and continued:

"Later, the results of the examination came out, and the doctor said it was curable and that it would be fine after the surgery. Fortunately, it was discovered early, in the early stages. If it was in the late stages, it would be incurable.

Then I called Xinyue. If she hadn't sent me money, I wouldn't know where to turn even if I wanted to save my mother.

Xiao Ling was in the intensive care unit at the time, and my mother was also lying on the hospital bed waiting for surgery.

Later it was decided to undergo surgery. My mother was in weak health, so she had to take nutritional injections for two days before the surgery.

I was so scared during the operation that I couldn't even stand up.

The eldest brother was even more frightened.

Fortunately, the operation was successful and the rest was just nursing care, after all, almost half of the stomach had been removed.

Xiao Ling recovered later, but the medicine was expensive. The Chinese doctor said that one should fight poison with poison, and the medicine he used were all poisonous insects and the like.

Xiao Ling was vomiting a lot during that period. She vomited out everything she ate, and we even had to bleed her from time to time.

My eldest brother was too timid to watch, but I saw it with all my heart. They stuck needles in the neck and chest one by one, and the blood was all black.

He was not released from the intensive care unit until the blood flowing out turned bright red.

Later, my eldest brother and I were busy taking care of both sides.

The doctor said that my sister has suffered a fundamental injury and will be weaker in the future, so she needs to be well taken care of.

After all, my mother had undergone surgery and her vitality was damaged. She needs to take care of herself over the next year.

Try to eat foods that are easy to digest, eat small meals frequently, get plenty of rest, and stay in a good mood. "

After saying this, my cousin let out a long sigh.

Everything else is easy to say, but how can you be happy?

It's been so long since they came back, but grandma hasn't come out yet.

She already knew that her two cousins ​​had joined the army and they had less contact since then, but what about her grandmother?

"How much did it cost?" asked my cousin after thinking for a while.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of my aunt and cousin became unnatural.

“My younger sister spent a total of 800 yuan, and my mother spent a little over 1,000 yuan.

My sister's medicine is expensive, and I have seen that those medicines are really hard to find.

My mother had a major surgery, and blood transfusions and infusions cost money.

As for this hospital and doctor, we saved a lot of money because it was not easy for us to come here from the countryside."

"Snapped!"

As soon as my cousin finished speaking, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the west room.

"What are you doing?!" my cousin screamed.

What followed was the sound of things being thrown and something breaking.

"Sister, after the call about the surgery came last time, our grandma started swearing at home." The second cousin said in a low voice.

"Why?" The cousin didn't understand.

The second cousin didn't say anything either. When Su Qiuyue saw that the situation was not good, she quickly stood up with her sister.

"Uncle, aunt, Xinyue and I will go back first. You just came back, you should rest well."

The cousin nodded, and Su Qiuyue and her sister went back first.

The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and Su Qiuyue starts preparing food at home.

There was nothing to prepare now, but she had space and didn't want to tighten her belt with her sister. This was also the first year she and her sister would spend alone after her rebirth, so she had to prepare something.

Su Qiuyue and her sister steamed buns at home and froze the leftovers outside.

She had frozen some ice buckets before, which not only could be used to store things but also to keep out rats.

For fear of being noticed, Su Qiuyue and her sister placed them next to a snow pile in the yard and covered them with snow.

It is hygienic to put the steamed buns in it.

Dahuang has finally grown into a half-grown puppy, and Xinyue has taught him very well.

He would pee at a fixed place in the yard before going to bed at night, and the first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to go out to relieve himself.

Xinyue spent a lot of time on this matter.

Just like teaching a child a lesson, at the beginning, if Dahuang urinated in the house, Xinyue would take a small stick and carry Dahuang to the scene of the crime to lecture him.

Every time, Dahuang acted like a human, with his ears drooping and his eyes glancing around from time to time, looking pitiful and as if he had been bullied.

Every time he made Su Qiuyue laugh out loud.

Later, Xinyue watched it and found it circling in the room, so she carried it outside.

You have to poop near the toilet.

Gradually it got used to it. For the first time, it knew to hum and beg for the door to be opened so that it could go out to relieve itself. Xinyue happily rewarded it with half a bun.

In addition to meat and vegetable buns, there are also vegetable buns and some bean-filled buns at home. Although they are not white bread, they are also very delicious.

I have told Su Xinyue many times that she should not tell others what she eats at home.

Nowadays, for many families, being able to eat bean-filled buns during the Chinese New Year is considered a good life.

Then she steamed some vegetable buns, mainly because she didn't want them to be seen as fresh vegetables.

The kang in the west room would be heated every day. She would stack two baskets on the kang, then put the soaked beans in a basin and cover it with cloth to make bean sprouts.

Su Qiuyue grew two kinds of bean sprouts, one soybean sprout and one mung bean sprout.

If she has too many babies, she can store them in space first.

The market will start in Layue Commune, and Su Qiuyue plans to take her sister with her when the time comes.

The sauerkraut at home is pickled and can be eaten. When the time comes, I will buy some bones or pork belly and stew the sauerkraut with it, which will be especially delicious.

I also need to buy some seasonings, I don’t know if they are sold at the market.

For lunch, Su Qiuyue fried a big bowl of egg sauce, added some green onions and cabbage, and also had some coarse grain rice.

I also made some sauerkraut hearts, which were especially appetizing when dipped in sauce.

The two sisters ate so much that their bellies were full. After eating, they lay on the kang to rest for a long time.

Everyone was about to go to bed after dark, but Su Xinyue said she felt a little hungry.

Su Qiuyue tapped her nose and went to dig out the potatoes that had been put in the stove earlier.

Then they took out the remaining egg sauce, cabbage leaves and green onions. The two of them sat on small stools, guarding the stove. They ate until the area around their mouths was black and their hands were dirty.

The two couldn't help laughing as they looked at each other. After they finished eating, they snuggled together and laughed, then washed up and lay in the warm bed.

Before going to bed, Su Xinyue was still thinking that she would probably remember this moment for the rest of her life, it was warm, simple and happy.

Xinyue is in good health and has recently improved her appetite. Even she herself can clearly feel that she can eat more and is more energetic.

Su Qiuyue planned to use this winter to take good care of her body with her sister so that she could grow taller in the future.

After breakfast, the younger sister took Dahuang to the backyard to play with Xu Hua. Su Qiuyue took out the tomatoes in the space and quietly buried them in the snow, intending to freeze them quickly.

She did this in her previous life. Because she was taking care of her grandchildren, her wife was always worried that eating vegetables from greenhouses in the winter would be unhealthy.

She bought a bunch of tomatoes in the fall, washed them and froze them in the refrigerator.

When winter comes, you can take it out and chop it into pieces to make tomato and egg. Because it has been frozen, it will easily become juice. The tomato and egg are perfect for mixing with rice. Children especially love it.

Su Qiuyue planned to freeze it secretly, and then take it out when she went to the market. She would say that she found it at the market, and she would not know how anyone got it.

My sister wouldn't ask too many questions. She is now busy with Xu Hua and training Da Huang to obey orders every day.

Xu Qiuyue thought it was good for her to run outside every day, as more exercise would help her body become stronger.

Su Qiuyue was very busy that day. Another wave of vegetables in the space had matured. She thought that if she had the chance, she should go to the town to see if she could sell some.

If I could go to the city, I would definitely make more moves.

Su Xinyue came back during lunch time.

I don't know where he went, but I can tell he's hungry.

Su Xinyue heated up three bean-filled buns for her, made sauerkraut and potato soup, cut some pickles, and prepared corn stubble porridge.

"Sister, I don't want to eat this bean-filled bun anymore. Can I give it to someone else?" Su Xinyue drank a bowl of porridge, ate a bean-filled bun, and when she took the other one, she thought about it but didn't take a bite.

"To whom?" Su Qiuyue asked curiously.

"That brother Chunsheng." Su Xinyue said a little at a loss.

"Why?" asked the boy who saved his sister.

"Sister Xu Hua and I took Da Huang out to play, and Brother Chunsheng caught it for us many times.

Once, Dahuang fell into a snow pit and he helped us get it out.

Da Huang even ate his dry food." Su Xinyue always remembered that she and Sister Xu Hua didn't dare to jump down. They were so scared that they almost cried, thinking that Da Huang would definitely freeze to death.

It was Brother Chunsheng who jumped down and carried Dahuang out. When he jumped up, the steamed bread in his pocket fell out.

Dahuang picked it up and ate it in one bite, which made her and Sister Xu Hua very angry and they beat it up.

She always remembered this incident. Her sister said that we should not let others know what we eat at home.

But Dahuang caused trouble by eating other people's steamed bread, so he has to compensate them.

Besides, Chunsheng had helped her several times, so she thought she couldn't keep giving him steamed bread, right? She certainly didn't dare take out the meat buns, but bean buns should be ok, right?

Su Xinyue also knew that some families could not afford corn stubble porridge, and they just chopped up cabbage or potatoes and stewed them with cornmeal to make a porridge.

My cousin also said that delicious food should be hidden and eaten secretly.

"Where did you go? Why is there a snow pit? Did you go down the mountain?" Su Qiuyue became anxious when she heard her say that Dahuang fell into a snow pit, and asked quickly.

"Nowhere, it just ran away, to the east of the brigade. My cousin said there used to be a big, thick dead tree there, and after it died, the roots were dug out, leaving a big hole.

Da Huang fell into that pit." Su Xinyue explained quickly.

After hearing her say this, Su Qiuyue felt relieved. There were indeed several large pits in the east of the brigade, and many children went there to play in the summer.

It's snowing in winter and it's really hard to get out if you fall down and slip.

"Okay, it's Da Huang's fault, so you should be responsible as a parent.

But you don’t need to save it from your rations, just give it to others after you are full.” Su Qiuyue said with a smile.

"Sister is the best." Su Xinyue then happily took a big bite of the bean paste bun in her hand.

After eating, he took a bean paste package, put it in his pocket and ran away.

Su Qiuyue asked her to come back early.

Within two days, her eldest cousin, who was supposed to be taking good care of her aunt at home, came to her house carrying Xu Ling.
