Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 170 How Did Dad's Leg Hurt?
Liu Xu'er pursed her lips after hearing Liu Ya's words, as if she still felt that she was in a panic.But since Liu Ya had spoken, she didn't dare to raise any objections.

Liu Ya smiled and didn't say much.She knew that Liu Xu'er would be overwhelmed sometimes, but that was also because the family was too poor, maybe it will get better in the future.

The rice was stewed by Liu Xu'er long ago, and Liu Ya made another soup and fried a chili egg, it was very simple.

When the food was all out of the pot, Xiao Shuer happened to come back with the goat Xiao Hei, smiling and playing with the lamb.

The goat Xiaohei was also much more lively, circling around the little tree, almost entangled the little tree with the rope around his neck.

Seeing Xiao Shu'er's smiling face, Liu Ya shouted through the window: "Okay, stop making trouble, hurry up and wash up in the house, and eat."

"Oh, I got it." Xiao Shu'er agreed, tied the little goat to the side of the shelf, and said while washing his hands in the house, "Second Sister, can you see if Xiao Hei has gained weight? I think it has a round belly." Yo, I'm full."

"Yeah, with milk to eat, and you pampering it, of course it will gain weight." Liu Ya thought about how the little goat looked in that sheepfold, and felt that it was really right to bring it back.

Dinner is still eaten in Liu Dacheng's room, and now the whole family is eating lively around the small kang table, which is harmonious and beautiful.There were more smiles on Liu Dacheng's face, and his complexion also improved.

Liu Ya looked at Liu Dacheng's leg, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Father, I don't remember much about the past, I was so stupid back then, I don't have much memory, and I don't remember how your leg was hurt .Have you seen it before? When I make more money, I will take you to the city to have a look."

"Oh, daddy's leg, it can't be cured. Your mother showed me..." Speaking of this, Liu Dacheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "At the beginning, your mother took me to several places I read it, but the doctors in the big towns also said that it can’t be cured, and it’s good to save one’s life. Besides, my father has been paralyzed for so many years, and the flesh on this leg is gone. How can it be cured? It’s possible. Ya’er, don’t worry about me, it’s not easy for you to make money, so don’t waste it on me.”

Liu Ya looked at Liu Dacheng's empty trousers, she knew that her father's legs were not thin, but muscle atrophy.If this continues, even if there is hope for a cure, I will not be able to walk anymore.Helplessly, Liu Ya could only sigh secretly.It's not that she doesn't want to treat her father, but this is the reality, and it can't be cured by spending a lot of money.

But Liu Ya felt that her father couldn't just lose hope like this.And even if it can't be cured, if the legs shrink like this, the blood vessels in the lower limbs will not flow, it will be bad for the whole body.

Liu Ya persuaded: "Father, I think there may be a way, but your legs are really too thin, and you are always inactive, your strength is gone, and your muscles and bones are rusted. Otherwise, you rub your legs every day. For the muscles of the thighs and calves, try to put your feet on the ground and step on it, at least let the blood flow, so that you won't continue to lose weight."

After listening to Liu Ya's suggestion, Liu Dacheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't say it, what Ya'er said is the same as what your mother said at the beginning. In the first few years, I insisted on kneading and kneading this leg every day. My mother also came to give me acupuncture and massage when she had time, and I didn’t lose so much weight. Then your mother passed away, so I got lazy.”

As soon as Liu Dacheng finished speaking, Xiao Shu'er put an egg in his mouth and asked, "Father, did you say something wrong? You said that mother gave you acupuncture? Isn't that what doctors do?"

"Ah? Oh, Dad was wrong again. It was your mother who took me to the doctor's acupuncture. But I couldn't bear to spend money on it. Later, I learned massage at home. It also works." Said At this point, Liu Dacheng sighed and said: "Our family originally had two acres of paddy fields and one acres of dry fields. For my legs, your mother sold the fields, and it still hasn't been cured."

Hearing that Liu Dacheng's words were full of self-blame, Liu Xu'er raised her head and gave Liu Ya a look, then reached under the table, and gently twisted Liu Ya's leg.

Liu Ya frowned, but she knew that it was she who started the conversation and asked about her father's legs, which made her think of her mother and the plight of the Liu family, so it's no wonder that Liu Xu'er was angry.

Liu Ya hurriedly picked up a spoon to fill Liu Dacheng with soup, and changed the topic: "Father, do you try this soup to see if it's a bit weak? I still think the bone soup made from pig bones is the most fragrant. Next time I go back to town, I also bought two big pig bones and came back to make soup."

Liu Dacheng also knew that Liu Ya was changing the topic, so he smiled and said, "Let's eat, dad is fine. After all, it's been so many years, I don't want to think about it long ago."

Liu Ya let out a "hmm", glanced at Liu Xu'er, and stuck out her tongue quietly to show that she knew she was wrong.

Although there was an episode in the middle of the meal, Liu Dacheng didn't particularly care about it, and the atmosphere didn't froze.

After dinner, Liu Ya took the initiative to wash the dishes.What she hates the most is washing dishes, so in the past, it was Xiaoshu'er who did the dishes, or Liu Xuer who did the dishes.But today she knew she had said something wrong, so she went to punish herself.

Liu Ya took hot water from the cauldron, mixed it with cold water, and tried to see if the water was slightly warmer, just enough to clean the oil stains on the bowl.

While washing, Liu Xu'er came in, sat on the small bench and said to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, don't ask about Daddy's leg injury from now on. You don't remember, but I remember clearly, we There used to be a second uncle in the family, and that incident was gone. It is not easy for our father to recover now, and I feel sad when I bring it up to see my father again."

Liu Ya explained: "Yes, I remember. Today I also want to see if Dad's leg can be healed. If there is any hope, I won't let Dad leave."

Instead, Liu Ya asked again: "Elder Sister, Dad can't hear me now, so tell me how Dad's leg was injured."

In the past, Liu Ya would not have such gossip.But the ordinary life has passed for a long time, which made her feel that there is something interesting about her parents' family, so she asked such a question.However, if Liu Xu'er didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't pursue it.

Liu Xu'er glanced outside, but she didn't need to look to know that Liu Dacheng would definitely not walk over by herself.Then he said: "It was the third uncle who heard that there was a mine in the mountain, so he insisted on taking the second uncle and our father to dig, but it collapsed after a short time after digging, the second uncle was buried in it, and our father's leg was also smashed." broken."

Speaking of this, Liu Xu'er stomped her feet and said, "Second Uncle is such a nice guy, it's a pity that he just disappeared like this."

After Liu Xu'er finished speaking, Liu Ya frowned and asked, "Is there a mine on the mountain? Do you know what it is?"
