MTL - Those Years of Dressing As An Animal-Chapter 85
The Su family is the family in the village. The house is not far away, and they arrive home after a short walk.
When she got home, Mrs. Su took her granddaughter's hand back to the living room and let her sit on the sofa safely before going to the kitchen to cook.
At present, although only Mrs. Su is in charge of the family, and her daughter has already married, she has her husband and children. At most, she will bring some red envelopes with souvenirs during the festivals, but there are still some things that should be at home.
Mrs. Su can grow vegetables in her own fields with a little diligence. Every morning, she picks fresh vegetables and carries them to the nearby vegetable market to sell to the vegetable vendors. There is a big city not far away, and many people like this kind of food. The green vegetables are purely grown by farmers, so Mrs. Su can earn dozens of dollars every time she goes back and forth.
As long as the family saves a little, this is enough for the family's daily needs. Now their family only has an old lady and a little girl.
There are other things, old lady Su herself has no extra capacity, but she still has some savings at home, as well as the compensation from her son and daughter-in-law.
The Su family was not at fault for the car accident at that time, but Mrs. Su, her son and daughter-in-law, died on the spot because of the car accident, and her granddaughter was seriously injured and she is now blind. I am afraid that it will not be cured in her life, so the compensation is not theirs. home to compensate.
However, Fang's family who was at fault for the car accident was also poor. He was already in prison, and his family didn't pay much money to the Su family. This was what Mrs. Su planned to save for her granddaughter in the future.
The granddaughter can't see now, and the doctor also said that it may not be cured. If it can be cured, the money will be the medical expenses. better.
The granddaughter was seriously injured, and she lost a lot of blood in the hospital at that time. Recently, Mrs. Su has not saved money on meals. Instead, she has tried every means to supplement her granddaughter with nutrition. She has meat in every meal. I have to make up for the blood that my granddaughter lost. Only when people are healthy can they have the capital to do other things.
Mrs. Su took out a piece of pork from the refrigerator, chopped half of it into minced meat, steamed a minced pork egg for Xiaojia, and boiled the other half directly, and then mixed some rice for this strange-looking dog.
When Mrs. Su was working in the kitchen, Chen Xing was already in Xiaojia's arms and did not want to let go.
"Dog, let me give you a name, what should I choose?" Xiaojia frowned while stroking Chen Xing's hair.
Chen Xing looked at the little girl indulgently.
"If you have it, let's call it a star!" After thinking about it for a while, Xiaojia said excitedly.
Afterwards, Xiaojia's eyes were red, she regarded Chen Xing as her partner, and explained in a low voice, "Grandma, they all say that my parents have become stars in the sky. In fact, I know that they are all comforting me, and I will never see them again. They're gone, and if it wasn't for me, they probably wouldn't have left..."
"Then call you Xingxing. You are with me, just like my parents have always been with me." The little girl smiled again.
"Star!"
"Wang!"
Chen Xing accepted this familiar name well, and immediately responded to the call of the other party.
"Star!"
"Wang!"
Xiaojia called Chen Xing back and forth several times, and each time she could get a response from the other party, which made her happier and felt more and more that the name was very good, and the other party liked it very much.
After a while, Mrs. Su had already prepared meals for her granddaughter and Chen Xing in the kitchen and brought them to the living room.
"Xiaojia, go wash your hands quickly, and eat the steamed egg later." Madam Su saw her granddaughter still holding Chen Xing, who was still dirty, and quickly told her to wash her hands.
"I know grandma, I just gave the dog a name. It's called Xingxing now. Grandma, you will call it that in the future." Xiaojia excitedly told her the news.
Madam Su responded immediately, "Hey, I see, I'll call it Xingxing in the future. Come, grandma will lead you to wash your hands first."
"Hey!" Xiaojia was taken to the kitchen by the hand of old lady Su, ladled water for her to wash her dirty hands, and then returned to the living room.
She put the steamed egg with minced meat that was not too hot so that she could eat it herself with a spoon. Then Mrs. Su put another larger stainless steel basin on the ground and called out to Chen Xing, who was eager to eat.
"Xingxing, you also come to eat."
Seeing the old lady beckoning to him, Chen Xing just stepped forward, not being particular about it, and burying his head in the stainless steel basin.
Although most of it is rice, there is also a lot of pork in it, and the broth is mixed with it. Physical conditions.
It seems that the old lady also knew this, so she deliberately controlled the amount of salt for Chen Xing, instead of directly mixing the leftovers eaten by people and feeding them to the cats and dogs at home like ordinary farmers, she didn't know at all. Also control the salt thing.
Seeing that Chen Xing eats deliciously and is not picky at all, the smile on Mrs. Su's face is even more sincere.
Xiaojia and Chen Xing ate their meals cleanly after a while. Madam Su cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks, and then the next thing was to give Chen Xing a bath.
Chen Xing didn't resist taking a bath at all, on the contrary, he was looking forward to it.
Chen Xing himself has been disgusted with himself at this moment, and he wants to wash himself clean faster than Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su took a bathtub that Xiaojia used when she was a child, poured hot water at the right temperature into it, held Chen Xing into the basin, wet his hair with water, squeezed some shampoo, and rubbed it hard to make bubbles. .
When Mrs. Su was giving Chen Xing a bath, Xiaojia sat on the stool next to her and listened to the movement around her and the sound of water rushing. She was not bored at all, but was very relieved.
Compared to going out, Xiao Jia, who has lost her light now, prefers to stay at home all the time.
The former companions suddenly changed their attitudes. They disliked her as a broom star, and disliked her as a blind and disabled person. They were unwilling to take her with them no matter what they were playing, and even drove her away, even standing aside.
It even hit her with a small stone this morning.
Xiaojia now has some pain in the place where the small stone hit her, but she still endured it in front of her grandmother.
Xiaojia is also a child now, so naturally it is impossible for these little friends to be treated like this in the past, and she has to squeeze in front of them with a shy face.
Now with the dog Xingxing by her side, this is her current and future companion, and she no longer needs other companions.
So, even if she stayed at home and listened to grandma bathing Xingxing, Xiaojia didn't feel bored at all.
When the whole body was almost rubbed by Mrs. Su, the originally clear and clean water had turned yellow or even black, Chen Xing was a little embarrassed to stop starting.
Poured new hot water for Chen Xing to rinse the foam off his body until the bath water was clean. Madam Su took an old towel to wipe the wet hair on Chen Xing's body.
Chen Xing himself couldn't help shaking his body at a high frequency, shaking off the water droplets on his body.
"Haha!" Some of the water droplets on Chen Xing's body shook to Xiaojia's body, covering her face, but she suddenly laughed out of joy.
Madam Su looked at her granddaughter and Chen Xing helplessly, but did not teach Chen Xing a lesson.
Mrs. Su was worried that Chen Xing would be afraid of resisting the very noisy hair dryer, so she did not take out the hair dryer, but let Chen Xing run into the yard to bask in the sun.
Although it's still morning, the weather is hot and the sun is hot. On weekdays, after washing her hair, Mrs. Su would go directly to the sun to dry her hair, and it would be done in less than ten minutes, so she wouldn't catch a cold.
Chen Xing is naturally the same.
Chen Xing was instructed by Mrs. Su to go outside to dry her hair in the yard. When Xiaojia heard her friend leave, she was unwilling to stay alone in the hall, so Mrs. Su led her to the yard and moved a The stool was sitting under the eaves, so that the sun would not be too hot, and Chen Xing's movements could be heard on the side.
He was basking in the warm sun all over his body. In addition, he had already eaten and drank enough just now. Chen Xing, who had experienced the wandering life of the past few days, was suddenly surrounded by this comfortable life, and soon yawned, his eyelids getting heavier.
Chen Xing just fell asleep under the sun.
…
Madam Su washed the dishes and chopsticks tonight and returned to the hall. She looked at her granddaughter Xiaojia who was watching TV with her eyes open. After thinking about it, she still opened her mouth, "Xiaojia, why haven't I seen you these two days? Go out for a walk?"
Xiaojia turned her head towards Madam Su's position and shook her head, "I don't want to go out, it's fine to stay at home."
She can't see now. Without her vision, she has a sense of fear of the outside world, and those peers in the village, even adults, don't like her, so why does she want to go out for a walk?
Staying at home, with grandma and stars, is much better than outside.
Madam Su felt a little distressed when she heard what her granddaughter said.
Mrs. Su also knows that since the accident, her granddaughter doesn't like to go out as much as before. One of the reasons is naturally because she can't see her eyes, she doesn't know how to go outside, it's easy to get lost, and she's easy to get hurt. Note that bumps will occur.
Another reason, naturally, was because the adults and children in the village all ostracized Xiaojia together, disliked Xiaojia, and even the bear children took the lead in bullying the poor Xiaojia.
The car accident was obviously not caused by their family, and it wasn't because of Xiaojia that Mrs. Su's son and daughter-in-law couldn't be rescued. How could the adults outside viciously put the names of Ke's parents and the broom star on the little boy who was still a child. What about Jia?
Although they didn't need the sympathy from the village, they couldn't just bully them just because Xiaojia couldn't see them!
Could it be that if you are disabled, you should be discriminated against and bullied?
Before this, Xiaojia and those children were still good friends and good partners. When adults met, they would praise each other's children.
Madam Su herself still has work to do, to support herself and her granddaughter, so she can't stay by Xiaojia's side all the time. The child is afraid of disturbing her work, and has never asked her to accompany her when she goes out. Walk.
"Xiaojia, I bought something for you." Mrs. Su did not continue to focus on this topic, and turned to another matter.
"what?"
Madam Su took something from the stool beside and handed it to Xiaojia.
Just when Xiaojia touched the unknown object with her palm, Mrs. Su explained, "This is the blind cane that I asked your Uncle Rong to buy online."
Mrs. Su did not shy away from Xiaojia's eyesight. This matter has basically become a foregone conclusion, and the probability of a cure in the future is not high. The two of them must accept this reality earlier, so what they should say must be said directly.
Uncle Rong in Old Lady Su's mouth is a relative of their family, specifically the son of the second brother of the deceased old man Su, and Xiaojia's father is a cousin, that is, Xiaojia's cousin.
Although Uncle Xiaojia's family no longer lives in the village and live in the city, Mrs. Su still has each other's phone numbers, and they will also contact each other during the New Year and festivals, and the relationship is still quite close.
After the accident of Xiaojia's parents, Xiaojia's uncle's family also knew the news and came back specially.
It was also at that time that Mrs. Su knew from the doctor's mouth that the chances of Xiaojia regaining her sight were not high, and she would be invisible for the rest of her life, so she made a decision to ask this nephew to help buy a blind cane and send it over.
Madam Su can't use her mobile phone to buy things online, and in reality she doesn't know where to buy it, so she can only ask this young nephew.
□□Does things very quickly, picks up a blind cane with a good evaluation and sends it to the village, and is not willing to accept the money from Mrs. Su.
After listening to Grandma's explanation, Xiaojia stroked the stick in her hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally said, "Grandma, let me try this thing!"
Mrs. Su nodded, "Well, then click carefully. When walking, use this blind stick to check if there are any obstacles around you. If there are any obstacles, you can stop in time."
In this way, some bumps and bumps can be avoided, lest Xiaojia stumble over obstacles and fall down on the way.
Even in a familiar home, Xiaojia, who has lost her light, bumped countless times, making Mrs. Su want to hold her granddaughter's hand and not let go.
Madam Su didn't want her granddaughter to be stuck at home for the rest of her life, she should be allowed to go out for a walk, so these difficulties still had to be managed by Xiaojia herself.
Xiaojia got up with the cane, and held the handle of the cane in her hand so that the cane could touch the ground. She tentatively extended the cane forward a short distance and shook the cane in a fan shape.
No sound was heard, which proved that there was no obstacle within this distance, Xiaojia then summoned up the courage to take a small step forward and narrow the distance between her and the blind stick.
The next step is to repeat the action just now, and use the blind stick to test whether there are obstacles around. If nothing touches and makes no sound, then Xiaojia can safely go forward.
But if the blind stick touches something and makes a sound, Xiaojia avoids the direction of the obstacle that the blind stick touches, so as not to trip and fall, so she can only continue to test in another direction.
Because they can't see the surrounding environment, most people will be moved by the fear of the unknown, and Xiaojia is also afraid of accidentally falling or bumping into something.
Although Xiaojia has experienced countless times since she lost sight of her eyes, it does not mean that she will not be in pain.
Xiaojia, a child under ten years old, can hold back her tears because she is very sensible, but how could she really not feel pain at all?
Therefore, Xiaojia was still very afraid in her heart, worried that she might be injured.
However, despite the fear in her heart, Xiaojia still mustered the courage to take one step after another.
Although it was very slow, Mrs. Su and Chen Xing on the side were still silently guarding Xiaojia, not daring to urge her at all.
Seeing her granddaughter take a few steps smoothly, Mrs. Su's eyes turned slightly red again.
With the blind stick in her hand, Xiaojia slowly walked about ten steps in the hall. Although she walked slowly, she was very steady.
This is much smoother than before without the blind stick.
When she was alone before, Xiaojia fell too many times. Later, Mrs. Su became more and more worried about her walking alone, always holding her hand and reminding her granddaughter when she saw an obstacle.
However, this time only Xiaojia was alone, and she managed to avoid several obstacles without falling and bumping once.
After Xiaojia realized this, a faint smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
At the same time, Xiaojia is also a little anxious, and wants to use more actions to prove what she has just experienced.
As a result, Xiaojia accelerated her pace and took bigger steps than before, and the fear of the darkness in her eyes also faded a little.
However, in a panic, just when Xiaojia started to increase her pace, the angle of the blind cane in her hand was not as wide as when she was cautiously before, so she also missed a stool leg.
However, Xiaojia had already opened her legs at this time, and the next moment she bumped into this rigid stool leg.
"Wang!" Chen Xing, who had been watching Xiaojia tentatively walking forward with a blind stick, noticed this and shouted loudly, but it was still too late.
The old lady Su on the side also quickly worried about her granddaughter, who was on the ground to stabilize her body and almost fell, and heard the hissing pain from the other party's mouth.
Although she was pulled by Mrs. Su, Xiaojia didn't fall, but her calf hit the leg of the stool straight. I'm afraid this bump will turn blue and purple in a short while.
"Are you okay, does it hurt? Grandma will get you some medicine and wipe it." Madam Su was really distressed, her brows furrowed tightly.
But I didn't want Xiaojia to shake her head next, "Grandma, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt!"
Madam Su thought her granddaughter didn't want her to worry, so she forcibly endured the pain, and said disapprovingly, "How could it not hurt, your child was real just now, why did you suddenly get anxious and didn't notice this stool, It happened right away!"
Xiaojia smiled at Mrs. Su, with a very sincere smile, "Grandma, I like this blind stick very much."
Xiaojia raised the blind stick in her hand.
Although she accidentally fell in the end, it was also because she was too eager in the end and didn't notice the stool at once, not the blind stick.
This blind stick is really useful. With this blind stick, Xiaojia's fear of the surrounding environment seems to have finally faded.
At least, if grandma wasn't around, she would have the courage to walk around without worrying about falling to the ground in the next second.
Mrs. Su looked straight at her granddaughter and made sure that the other party was telling the truth at this time, "Okay, as long as you like it, you will carry this thing with you in the future, whether at home or outside."
Xiaojia nodded, holding the blind stick tightly in her hand.
In the next second, Xiaojia turned to "look" in Chen Xing's direction and said with a smile, "Xingxing, did you want to remind me just now?"
Xiaojia still remembered that when she hit the stool and was about to fall, she heard a cry from Xingxing.
It must be the other party who saw her situation and reminded her deliberately, worried that she would fall and be injured.
As long as she thought about it like this, Xiao Jia felt very happy in her heart.
Now, there are grandma and stars who care about her!
"Wang!" Chen Xing's response also confirmed Xiaojia's guess.
"Come here, I want to hug you." Xiaojia squatted down and gestured towards Chen Xing with open arms.
Chen Xing didn't procrastinate, he ran directly to the other party's soft embrace, and let the other party wrap his hands around him.
Seeing Xiaojia holding the dog, the old lady Su on the side also became happy.
Chen Xing has been staying in Su's house for several days and has been following Xiaojia, the little girl. He finally decided to stay in this Su's house in the future and become a member of the family.
Although eating is not as good as in Ding's before, at least Chen Xing will not be hungry in Su's house, and there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so you don't have to worry about the wind and rain, and it will not freeze to death in winter. street.
Secondly, Chen Xing was also a little reluctant to bear the little girl Xiaojia.
Xiaojia has always liked Chen Xing very much. She completely regarded him as her little friend, or even her only friend. The one she came into contact with every day was either Mrs. Su, her own grandmother, or Chen Xing.
Chen Xing naturally felt the friendliness and sincerity of the little girl towards him.
If Chen Xing left suddenly, Xiaojia would be very sad.
What's more, Chen Xing couldn't worry about Xiaojia.
Xiaojia suddenly lost the ability to see things from a healthy little girl, and also lost the two most important relatives in her life in a car accident. It's bullying, even the adults around him look down on such a blind man, saying things that belittle and disgust.
Even with her grandmother, Mrs. Su, Xiaojia's mentality couldn't be improved in an instant, and she was still alone.
But if Chen Xing stayed with her, Xiaojia's mood was obviously much better, and the smile on her face would be more.
Chen Xing wanted to protect the little girl.
As a result, Chen Xing decided to stay at the Su family to accompany Xiaojia, completely abandoning the original purpose of going to the big city.
Mrs. Su and Xiaojia didn't know about Chen Xing's psychological activities, and they had accepted such a new member of the family very calmly before.
