Asking someone to marry you
The two of them just returned to the house. Cui Xiulan came to the iron fence, held on to the iron fence with one hand, and flipped her hair with the other. She turned sideways and showed off her coquettishness. She looked Zhang Caixia up and down, teasing Ma Guoli with her eyes and said: "Hey
, who do I think she is, such a handsome girl? Before I entered the door, I thought, the person who can make Director Ma fall in love must not be a mortal, tsk tsk tsk, girl, she is not a girl from our neighborhood, right? Look, there is a watery spirit all over her body.
Er Jiner. Where did you come from? Do you have a reason? Well, I won’t ask. If you don’t speak, I will tell you myself. Just listen. Where is your brother Ma? He is a nice person.
, he is a real person. He has the final say in everything within a radius of 180 miles. He is in charge of many wealthy and bad elements, so he is very powerful...
Cui Xiulan was frothing and chattering, while Ma Guoli was sitting at the table with his head in silence, smoking and drinking wine.
Cui Xiulan looked at him jealously, straightened her chest, pushed up her hair, and glanced at the demented Zhang Caixia with a springy look on her face. However, she kept looking at Ma Guoli from the corner of her eye. Ma Guoli lowered his head, smoking and drinking by himself.
Without even looking at Cui Xiulan, who was posing and posing in a charming way, Cui Xiulan suddenly felt angry in her heart. She sighed faintly and said: We, the villagers, look old, but in fact he is not that old. He is only 34 years old. He has a great body, like
Like a breeding pig, the vixens in the village loved to be harmed by him.
When Ma Guoli heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: What are you talking about? You are serious.
Cui Xiulan glared at Ma Guoli bitterly and said: "What about your brother Ma's humanity? I believe you have seen it. Before, he married two wives and both ran away. The reasons are quite complicated. In fact, there is nothing wrong with him. This is mainly
Well, he just has too many vixens outside...
Ma Guoli quickly interrupted her: Hey, hey, he's blind again.
Cui Xiulan gave Ma Guoli a fierce look again, glanced at Ma Guoli, and said to Zhang Caixia: Oh, yes, this is not the main problem. The main problem is that he likes to drink. He beats his wife when he drinks too much. He really needs to be cruel.
, beat to death...
Ma Guoli was so angry at her that he slammed his wine glass on the table, turned around and glared at Cui Xiulan, and said angrily: Hey, hey, it's not over, is it? Are you helping me propose marriage?
Cui Xiulan glared back at Ma Guoli bitterly and said: My daughter, let's make it clear. If you are a good person, I can't send you to this pit of fire, right? You've committed a crime, where can you escape?
, wherever you can go, I will send you there. Where are you going? Where can you go? Here, he can protect you and give you a way to survive...
At this time, a woman's urgent voice came from outside the door: Ma Guoli, Ma Guoli.
Cui Xiulan responded: Hey, it's Miss Xiaofeng, what's wrong with Zhuzi? Come in and talk.
A woman rushed in, glared at Cui Xiulan hatefully, and said anxiously to Ma Guoli: My dad has done his old habit again. He can't stand seeing people anymore. Go and help me!
Ma Guoli hurriedly got up and followed the woman out. Cui Xiulan looked at the empty door and sighed: Oh, this is life! The woman just now was his second daughter-in-law, the daughter of the landlord Ma Fuchang. If her father hadn't been an old and sick man, he wouldn't have died.
I jumped into this fire pit, but in the end, I still couldn't bear it, so I left. Zhuzi was their only son and he was always strong. However, he soon got encephalitis. He was sent to a large hospital in the county for treatment. All available medicines were available.
After using it, the high fever did not go away. The doctor said, take the medicine and go home to take care of it. As long as it gets better...
After about a cup of tea, the sound of a child crying was heard outside. Cui Xiulan turned to look at the door and saw Ma Guoli rushing in with a 4-5 year old boy in his arms and said: Xiulan, please help take care of it.
one time.
Cui Xiulan was shocked and said: Ah? Me? How about the old man?
Ma Guoli carefully carried the child to the bed and put it down. He turned to Cui Xiulan and said: "You help me look at the pillars. Feng'er and I will find a car to take her father to the county town."
Cui Xiulan said anxiously: This can't be done. I will go back soon. How long will it take for you to come back? My men will scold you if it is too late!
Ma Guoli ignored Cui Xiulan's complaints and just looked at the crying child and said: Come back as soon as the disease is cured. It will take a few days no matter what. If you are tired, help me look after him. If you need anything, ask someone to come to the county hospital to see me.
Later, take the half bag of stick noodles from the room and shut your man's mouth.
Cui Xiulan said anxiously: "How can that be done? This is not about stick noodles. Besides, I don't understand medicine. The pillar is your life. If something happens later, why don't you eat me!"
Ma Guoli looked at the crying Zhu Zhu affectionately, pulled the quilt to cover the child, and said softly to the crying Zhu Zhu: Zhu Zhu, you must get through it.
After saying that, he turned around, grabbed his clothes, and hurried out to walk out: "Just give him medicine on time and don't catch a cold. The doctor said, the rest depends on Zhu Zhu's life."
Cui Xiulan looked at the disappearing figure at the door and shouted anxiously: Alas, alas! This man, I haven't finished speaking yet. How did he say these words and leave?!
Cui Xiulan walked to the bed as she spoke, stretched out her hand to tuck the quilt for the crying Zhuzi, patted and coaxed her gently: "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, poor child, what's wrong? Isn't it okay to drink water?"
Drink? Why is your head so hot?
Zhu Zhu was still crying, and Cui Xiulan was helpless and busy in a panic...
Ma Guoli carried Ma Fuchang from home and gently put him on the donkey cart. Ma Xiaofeng supported him and quickly pulled the quilt to cover the old man. He kept telling him: Slow down, be careful, be slow, be gentle.
point……
The three of them drove the donkey cart on the road and disappeared into the night.
At this time, in Ma Guoli's house, Zhuzi's crying had already awakened the motherly nature of Zhang Caixia, who was in a state of loss. She woke up from her dream, raised her head in confusion, looked at Zhuzi whose cries were gradually hoarse and weak, and realized
Gradually waking up, Cui Xiulan gently patted and coaxed her, extremely anxious: Oh, little ancestor, don’t cry, don’t cry, why are you uncomfortable? Don’t scare me, I can’t bear it. You should talk instead.
.
Zhang Caixia got up from the ground, walked out of the iron fence, came to Cui Xiulan quietly, and said to her calmly: Let me do it.
Cui Xiulan suddenly heard someone talking and was startled. She turned to look at Zhang Caixia and wondered: What?
Zhang Caixia calmly walked around Cui Xiulan, came to the child's side, reached out and touched the child's forehead and said: "Go back, leave this to me."
Cui Xiulan stared at her blankly, and saw that she had begun to carefully check Zhu Zhu's physical condition. Cui Xiulan stood there in a daze, at a loss. She only heard Zhang Caixia say lightly: "I covered myself too much. I'm soaked. Do you have any clothes to change?"
?
Cui Xiulan suddenly woke up and said: Oh, yes.
Cui Xiulan quickly turned around and rummaged through the cabinets to find the children's clothes. She grabbed two pieces, spread them out and looked at them: "This should be wearable."
After saying that, he took it over and handed it to Zhang Caixia.
Zhang Caixia took the clothes and put them aside, then picked up Zhu Zhu and started to take off the wet clothes on him. Cui Xiulan quickly stepped forward to help. Zhang Caixia stopped Cui Xiulan with her arm and said calmly: I can do it by myself. It's getting late.
, please come back quickly.
While he was talking, his hands kept moving and he quickly changed clothes for Zhuzi. Seeing that Cui Xiulan was still standing there stupidly and not leaving, he continued: Don't worry, I can't run away.
When Cui Xiulan heard this, she came back to her senses and said gratefully: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be here tomorrow morning."
Cui Xiulan turned around and went out, then turned back and said: My dear daughter, you haven't eaten for a few days, right? I'll help you heat up the noodles.
Zhang Caixia continued to check Zhu Zhu's body and said calmly: "No, I will do it myself. You can come back quickly."
Cui Xiulan said with a grateful face: Okay, then you are tired, I will come early tomorrow morning. By the way, my house is not far in front, and there is a jujube tree in the yard, which is easy to recognize. What's the matter?
Just go and call me.
After saying that, he walked towards the door, turned his head, and went out uneasily: "I'm leaving then, call me if you need anything."
Zhang Caixia put down the care of Zhu Zhu who was gradually calming down, got up and went to the table to check the medicines. She then took out the box of foreign medicines written in English from the rummaged travel bag, looked at it, took a piece, and gave water to Zhu Zhu.
Feed...
Besides, the three of them, Ma Guoli, drove 18 miles of mountain roads overnight and arrived at the county town. It was already dawn. In the county hospital, Ma Guoli, Ma Xiaofeng and other patients' family members sat tiredly on chairs. A doctor came out of the emergency room, and the two of them hurriedly
He stood up and came forward anxiously. The doctor said: Are you Ma Fuchang's family members?
Ma Guoli quickly replied: Yes.
The doctor said: The patient's condition is quite dangerous and he needs surgery immediately.
Both of them were surprised at the same time: Ah!
Ma Xiaofeng went limp and started crying. Ma Guoli held her in his arms and coaxed: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, I'm bringing the money!"
Then he turned to the doctor: Then let’s do the surgery. I’ll pay for it...
At this time, it was already broad daylight. Cui Xiulan pushed the door and entered the room. She saw that the bowl on the table was empty. Zhang Caixia was hugging the pillar and was still sleeping, leaning on the bed. She was awakened by Cui Xiulan who entered the room. She tried hard to open her sleepy eyes, and then
Squinting under the glare of the sun, she raised her right hand to block the sunlight coming from outside the door and said: You are here.
Cui Xiulan hurriedly came to the kang and pushed Zhang Caixia back to the bed who was about to get up: "Lie down quickly, you have been busy all night, and then sleep for a while."
After saying that, he turned around to look at Zhu Zhu, who was still sleeping. He reached out and touched the child's hot forehead, and said with a smile on his face: "How do you say this? The fever has actually gone down a bit, and he seems to be feeling better."
Similar.
Zhang Caixia replied: How can it be so easy? It's still burning.
After saying that, she struggled to get up. She suddenly felt unbearable pain all over her body. She couldn't help but said "Ah" and frowned. With a painful expression on her face, Cui Xiulan quickly stepped forward, pushed Zhang Caixia back to the bed and said:
Lie down, lie down, and stop moving. You haven't slept in bed for a while, right? Go to sleep for a while, and I'll make breakfast for you.
After saying that, he turned around and went to the stove to get busy and said: I'm afraid Zhu Zhu can be saved this time. He has met such a noble person like you. He is very lucky. He hasn't recovered for so many days. As soon as you take advantage of it, his illness will disappear.
See you soon.
Then he said: The doctor said that the high fever caused by encephalitis is not necessarily a bad thing. It can definitely burn out all the bacteria and viruses in the brain, and people may become particularly smart.
Suddenly he stopped what he was doing and said with a sad expression: But he might be burned stupidly.
Then he said happily: But when I meet a noble man like you, I will definitely become smarter. Your brother Ma has been an orphan since he was a child. He doesn’t know what family is or how to love his wife, so he marries one and runs around with the other.
If not, I just want to eat food from hundreds of families and sleep with wives from hundreds of families. I guess he wants to marry you because he wants to keep a heir to continue the family line. Now that's good. If this pillar is good, I don't know whether he will marry you or not.
For him, it doesn't matter. It means you will be rewarded for your good deeds.
After a while, he continued: "Zhuzi's grandfather's family is also poor. His two sons joined the caravans and were wiped out by the People's Liberation Army. This is the only daughter left. She has two acres of thin farmland and was designated as a landlord. Without you, Brother Ma,
