Chapter 19: Beach Talk (1) 4. Shore talk On Sunday, Brother Secai and Guobao accompanied me to the seaside for a walk. We took a wild (and bird) carriage, which cost ten cents each, which was really cheap.The national security proposed to visit the aquarium, saying that there was a live bird, which caused a sensation far and wide. "This is starfish, little aunt." When he got inside, he couldn't help pointing fingers.I was embarrassed to take his kindness, so I could only pretend to be happy, followed his finger, and said to the pentagonal animal firmly attached to the edge of the glass: "It's amazing."

After hearing this, the national security officer said proudly: "There are so many strange things. An, this is a live octopus, these are all kinds of crabs... Also, little aunt, come and see! Dad, Dad...you come too Right! There is a big green head here. I don’t know, but it’s what they call a living creature, isn’t it?...Ah, there’s a seal over there, with a head like a leopard and a tail like a fish. It’s swimming. Dad! Auntie Look how big it is, it looks like a puppy, and it has a beard... Oh, what's the matter? The water is stirred up in a big tank, it's farting, look, it's farting ah!"

So everyone gathered around to watch the seal fart, look at Qingqing, and talked for a long time. I felt my legs were sore and I just wanted to sit.Brother Secai is a businessman who is dutiful. Apart from making money, he has no curiosity about such things. Seeing me silent for a long time, he thought that I was only thinking about my sister's illness, so he turned around. He went to the State Security and said, "Look at you kid! You're a college student, and you still like to join in the fun? My little aunt has a lot on her mind, so let's go to the First Park and have some tea."

"No, Dad, let's accompany my little aunt to the beach." "Alright. Xiaomei, do you like to go to the beach and have a look?" I had no choice but to answer: "Okay." Qingdao's seaside is no different from that of other places. There are many children wading in the water, and there are a few modern couples lying on the beach side by side, turning over and over from time to time, rolling in the sand. . "Little aunt, look, the sand here is fine and soft." The national security guard bent down and showed me a handful of yellow sand.I nod.In fact, I followed them all the way, and my feet were like stepping on cotton wool. Needless to say, I knew that the beach was very soft.

"Brother Shicai, how do you see my sister's situation?" After a long while, I couldn't help but get back to business. Brother Secai stared at the sea, and slowly replied: "According to the doctor, it is... But there is little hope. Maybe it won't pass this year, maybe it will last until next spring. Spring is the time when bacteria multiply the fastest." "then what should we do?" "So I want to invite you to discuss it. According to your sister-in-law, Meiying is very homesick during this illness. As the saying goes: a tree is higher than a tree, and a leaf falls back to its roots. No matter what happens, a person can't live outside. I. It’s not my nephew who sets the rules and criticizes the elders. It’s really my aunt’s wrong idea at the beginning. The girl’s family doesn’t care about studying for a few years. Why did she have to study until she graduated from college? The serious matter of getting married? Although Meiying didn't say it, she didn't think of it in her heart. Now that she is homeless, sleeping alone in the hospital, how uncomfortable is she? You have to defecate according to the specified time. Just a joke, what if people can’t poop at this specified time? When they really want to come out, they either can’t call for a nurse, or even if they do, they will push back. You don’t want to take the potty for you. Xiaomei, your sister-in-law and I have seen all this with our own eyes, and we know her pain very well. You new people only know that it is good to live in the hospital, which is hygienic and convenient for treatment. In fact, your sister enters the hospital. It has been three months in the hospital, so why did the doctor treat her? Two X-rays were taken, one was for the lungs and the other was for the bones. After the X-rays, it was said that there were indeed bacteria, so what if there were bacteria? What should I do? They have absolutely nothing to do. Your sister-in-law asked them several times, but they replied with a cheeky face that no medicine to kill tuberculosis has been invented in foreign countries, so there is nothing they can do. The only way they can do now is Help the head with a headache, and help the feet with a sore foot. For example, if she has a high fever, take more antipyretics; if she can’t sleep at night, take more sleeping pills; if she coughs badly, take cough medicine .In fact, what is the use of this? Lying down all day without even moving, people say that she is sitting and waiting for death, but Meiying is really lying and waiting for death. If it is broken, it will be dragged out and sent to the morgue..."
