The Le family has fields. Since Le's father could not do heavy work, Grandpa Le passed away, and Grandma Le took the initiative and handed over the fields to the Zhou family for rent, leaving only the garden in front of and behind the house and a piece of land near the village.
In addition to setting aside an area for growing green beans, beans and other vegetables, the Le family and his daughter planted the entire garden with corn, and planted some peppers, eggplants, etc. in between, which not only facilitated management but also saved land. Most of the land Interplant sweet potatoes.
Baogu raises chickens and sweet potatoes. When the piglets come back in the sixth or seventh month of the lunar calendar, they will feed the sweet potato vines first and then the sweet potatoes. Then they will kill the New Year pigs during the Chinese New Year, which weighs more than a hundred kilograms at least. You can also sell some of the meat to celebrate the New Year and save some money.
Dad Le has spent the past few weeks planting sweet potato seedlings on the land outside the village on weekends. The garden in front of the house is almost full, leaving only the garden behind the house.
Le’s father, who was embarrassed by his children, fled to the back garden as if running away. Le Yun, who was lagging behind, neatly changed into long-sleeved clothes, took off her sandals and put on a pair of rubber shoes, Ding Ding. She snuck away to work in the garden behind the house. For the sake of her father's face, she didn't dwell on the problem anymore.
The weather has been good at the beginning of spring this year, the corns are growing well, the roots are strong and the stems are strong, the flowers are beginning to bloom on the top of the head, and the half-mid-length corn husks have also grown into shape, and they will be ready to eat during the new festival in June next month. Young corn.
The corn leaves are green and pleasant. When the wind blows, the corn seedlings tilt in one direction and then rise up, swaying like waves. A fresh aroma spreads with the wind, full of The taste of the prosperous countryside.
Children of poor people have been in charge of the family for a long time. Le Yun has been following the adults to help with the work since she was very young. Apart from Li Tian, she has not been able to do anything else for so many years. She can cook at home and know how to work in the field. He can earn scholarships for farm work and study, and is a standard all-rounder in the new era.
Arrived in the garden, Xiao Le took the hoe from his father's hand to dig the hole. After washing the tendons and cutting the marrow twice, his body was light and plump. No corn leaves were broken, and she didn't feel tired when she started working. She was like a robot, like a whirlwind from one end of the ground to the other, digging the hole, and then going back to plant the potato seedlings.
Le’s father holds the potato seedlings and crutches in his right hand, and inserts the vines with his left hand. After practicing for many years, his hand speed is not slower than that of normal people. This is because he has to be careful not to trip over the corn seedlings when moving the crutches. Overall, It affects his working speed.
Dad Le was observing his daughter while working. The more he watched, the more puzzled he became. His little cotton-padded jacket seemed to have been injected with chicken blood today. It was so fast. Is it because he was one year older and had less strength and mobility? The speed also doubled
He felt weird in his heart, and he didn’t ask. Anyway, it was a good thing, not a bad thing. Besides, girls are not like boys. Girls always have little secrets. He should not ask. Turn a blind eye.
Just as he knew that there was a handsome boy from the Chao family who kept in touch with his little cotton-padded jacket. If it were any other parent, he would have thought that his child was in puppy love, giving ideological lessons to his child every day. He did not interfere with his girl's freedom to make friends. He believed that the child would handle the relationship with his friends.
So in comparison, Dad Le is a very reasonable and open-minded father who will notHe is very judgmental about his children's affairs and will not interfere in his children's decisions. He respects his children.
Working is a joyful thing. The father and daughter spent less than an hour and a half planting the garden behind the house with potato seedlings and finished the work happily.
It takes about seven days to half a month for the potato seedlings to grow new sprouts after they are planted in the ground. When the new sprouts and new branches grow to a few inches long, add fertilizer to help them pile up the roots so that they have a place to form roots. In addition to pruning and weeding the stems at the right time, you don’t need to worry about management regularly.
When it was time to finish work, Xiao Le ran to the edge and pried two handfuls of green onions. Le ran home with great enthusiasm and went to the water press in front of the house to clean it.
Le’s father went home and changed out of his muddy shoes. While the child was washing green onions, he went back to the room to find safflower oil, rolled up his trousers and wiped his calf. His right calf would swell every time it rained. Rheumatic pain occurs most frequently, especially in spring and summer.
He had just applied the medicine a few times when he heard a knock on the door. He hurriedly hid the medicine and then moved to open the door.
Le’s father lives in the outer room of the two rooms on the left side of the house, and the back room is used as a guest room. Le Yun lives in the outermost room on the right side. The inner room is used as a refrigerator and storage room for corn and millet. , if there are many customers, the shop can be reopened temporarily.
Le Yun knew what her father was doing when she smelled the smell of safflower oil. When she saw the door opened, her father looked cautious and said with a tigerish face, "Dad, my leg hurts again. Why didn't you tell me? "
"No, it's just a little sore. I'll be fine if I apply some medicine." Lele's father firmly denied it. He dared to admit that his family, Lele, would probably take away all the work and wouldn't let him do it again. Go to the ground.
"Dad, go sit outside and I'll give you a massage." Le Yun didn't believe it and went straight into the room to rummage through the drawers in the closet.
Le’s father’s room is very simple, with an old-fashioned canopy bed, a handmade wardrobe popular in the 1990s, and two old desks from that era. The furniture is old and neatly packed and cleaned. Gotta be clean.
"No, I'm fine." Dad Le insisted, and in a blink of an eye he found that his girl had found the medicine out of the drawer. He was embarrassed. It's not good for a child to be too smart, no matter what he hid. Wherever something is hidden, she can find it when she looks for it.
"Dad, your girl wants to study medicine, so you should treat your girl as a guinea pig and let me study now." Le Yun didn't care whether her father agreed or not, she even pushed her. Push the person to the outside hall near the door, let him sit down, and get a small bench to sit opposite.
Le’s father was afraid that his feet would be dirty and smelly to the child, so he wiped them again and again with the pants of his other foot, and then carefully handed it over to the child.
Putting her father's feet on her knees and rolling up her trousers, Le Yun turned on the "X-ray scanning" function of her eyes, and things that could not be seen with the normal naked eye emerged bit by bit.
Le’s father’s calf bone was fractured fourteen years ago. When he was sent to the hospital for treatment, the fracture alignment and alignment were not ideal and shifted. Later, it became a malformation, causing functional failure of the limb. Comments It is classified as seventh grade disability.
Le Yun could clearly see the dislocation of her father’s leg bones, and the main bone was twisted.At an angle, so that her toes were originally pointing straight, now they were tilted to the outside, at least at an angle of three degrees. As for how to describe its appearance, she couldn't find the right words.
In addition to the displacement of the broken end of the fracture, there is also a meridian that was probably cut by the bone back then and was not reconnected in time. Now, the meridian is blocked, causing her father’s right calf muscles to gradually atrophy, and the right calf is significantly smaller than the left calf. The calves are shriveled.
Looking at it intently for a full minute, Le Yun checked her father’s leg injury three times. She was very sad at that time. She could see the injury clearly and found the cause. She also knew How to correct it? The problem is that she currently does not have the qualifications to perform surgery on her father. What could be more devastating than this?
