Chapter 184 61 You Are My Only Mother
Women are always a little nervous when they are pregnant. Yu Li thought of Lou Xiao'e and complained: "Especially after Liuyi was born, Lou Xiao'e often came to the courtyard. At first, she said she was visiting a deaf old lady, and later she came to hold Liuyi every day. People who didn't know her would think she was Liuyi's mother."
Sha Zhu hugged Yu Li and consoled her, saying, "Liu Yi only has you as his mother. Didn't she stop coming later?"
"That's why she won't come. We sent Liuyi to the nursery, so she didn't come to grab the baby because she couldn't hold it. She will still come on Sundays."
"She just likes our Liuyi, not me, don't worry." Sha Zhu assured Yu Li: "Besides, I won't like her either. I am very satisfied to have you."
Yu Li, who was nervous, was waiting for this sentence. After hearing this, she immediately regained her sanity and changed the subject, saying, "The old lady seems to be in poor health recently. She eats less than before and walks less smoothly. So she is reluctant to go out and stays in the house. When I asked her, she said her legs hurt, but can leg pain affect eating?"
"Then I'll take a day off tomorrow and carry the old lady to the hospital."
Yu Li said, "Okay, I'll talk to the old lady about it later. Speaking of carrying the old lady to see the doctor, I suddenly remembered something. Do you think we should buy a bicycle?"
"You're right. It's time to buy a car. We should have enough money, but we have to think of a way to get the ticket." Sha Zhu started looking for someone who could get a bicycle ticket.
Seeing Sha Zhu worried, Yu Li quickly said, "There's no rush. You don't like riding a bike, and I can't ride one now. I only need to ride a bike when I go home from school every week. It's better to take a car. It's just that having a car will make it more convenient when something happens."
"I know, there's no rush now, but after Yu Shui graduates next year and you have the baby, our family must have two cars, one for Yu Shui and one for you."
"I need a car but it's useless. The neighborhood office is less than ten minutes' walk from my house. I'd better give it to you. You still have to take the bus to go to work, and riding a bike will give you more freedom."
"Okay, this is the one you don't want. I'll buy Yushui a 26-inch one and me a 28-inch one. Don't be jealous."
"Why should I envy you? You riding a bike with me is no better than riding by myself, and you don't have to get tired. I can just direct you wherever I want."
"Hey, you see things clearly and live a clear life."
The next day, Sha Zhu carried the old lady to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he told Sha Zhu that the leg pain might be caused by the colder weather in autumn and winter, plus the old lady's osteoporosis. Sha Zhu asked how to solve it? The doctor said, "It's simple. First, drink more bone soup. Second, wear thicker clothes. Third, make the room warmer."
Back in the yard, Sha Zhu took out the cloth and cotton coupons and gave them to an aunt, asking her to make two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers of different thicknesses for the old lady. Then he ran to the coal shop to order coal. Wow, the high wall of coal that was originally placed in the coal shop was now much shorter. Several coal workers in thin clothes kept carrying coal onto the tricycle. After the tricycle was full, they put on thick clothes, stood on the pedals, and stepped on the pedals with all their strength. The tricycle started slowly and moved forward slowly. In this way, they delivered coal to thousands of households, helping people drive away the severe cold of winter.
After telling the matchmaker the amount of coal needed by several families, Sha Zhu went to buy a chimney and moved the coal stove that was originally placed outside the old lady's house into the house. He installed the chimney and pasted newspaper on the chimney's joints to ensure that the coal gas was discharged from the chimney and would not remain in the room along the seams.
Not only the old lady's room, but also his own and the first uncle's room were cleaned up. The first uncle came back from get off work, looking at the coal stove and chimney in the house and feeling the warm air, feeling happy, it seems that being good to Zhuzi will be rewarded, and the Jia family will be left alone in the future. I have determined that the old man is He Yuzhu, and these two rooms will also belong to Zhuzi in the future.
The temperature in the room rose, and the old lady was obviously much better. After work, Sha Zhu went to Xing Guangchen from the purchasing department and asked him to help buy some big bones, whether they were from pigs or cows. The next night, he boiled the big bones he bought. The bone soup was stewed for a whole night, and the smell filled the whole yard.
The old lady Jia next door didn't sleep well all night. She dreamed of eating meat and drinking soup. Xiao Dang even dreamed of swimming in the broth while drinking soup. Even the third uncle in the front yard was seduced by the fresh soup and drank a lot of water and woke up several times. In the end, he fell asleep with cotton plugged in his nose. He didn't want to plug it at first, thinking that if he couldn't drink too much, he would take advantage of it. But he thought the fragrance was too tempting and he couldn't sleep. He had to go to work the next day. In fact, many people slept with their noses plugged that night.
The third uncle ran to Sha Zhu's house the next morning to give his opinions. It was so infuriating. He had been thinking about it all night long since he smelled the fragrance.
Seeing the anxious look on Third Uncle's face, Sha Zhu filled a small bowl for him. Third Uncle blew on it a few times, and when he felt the temperature was suitable, he drank it in two gulps. After finishing, he stretched out the bowl, which meant that he wanted more. Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "Third Uncle, this soup is for the old lady. The doctor said that there is something missing in her bones, and she needs to drink bone soup. Are you still trying to snatch food from the old lady?"
The third uncle also shook his head and said, "It's made for the old lady, so I shouldn't drink it. But Shazhu, your soup is so delicious. Don't make it all night next time. You keep people awake."
The deaf old lady drank the soup brought by Sha Zhu, listened to Sha Zhu telling jokes about the third uncle, and said with a smile: "That good-for-nothing has been calculating since I met him, but he has no choice. He has many children, and the whole family depends on his salary. The main reason is that his salary is not high. Even if he doesn't calculate, his family can't survive. Many people in similar situations have given their children to others for adoption. He can be considered to have some ability. But it's hard to change habits. I'm afraid that even if life gets better in the future, he won't be able to change his calculating habits."
"Yes, his family conditions are not bad now. Yan Jiecheng is married, and Liu Yuhua is also working. According to the personality of the third uncle, he should receive a lot of pension money from them. Yan Jiefang is also working as a temporary worker outside, and he probably pays some money back home. Now there are only Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi left in his family, and it is not so difficult anymore. But he is still frugal every day."
"Yes, I heard from your aunt that there was a quarrel in his family a few days ago because of dinner."
"I know this. Liu Yuhua eats a lot after she got pregnant. The food Third Aunt cooks is not enough, so the other brothers can't eat enough."
"No, that was before. It was resolved after Yan Jiecheng paid more money."
"It's been resolved, so why are we fighting over food again?"
