Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

My second uncle left Yanjing with mixed feelings and embarked on his journey back to Java Island.

Little Pig was reluctant to see him leave. After two days of sadness, he became lively again.

The weather turned cold in an instant. It was sunny yesterday and I was wearing a thin coat. After a night, the north wind was howling and everyone put on sweaters. Those who were afraid of the cold even put on thin cotton jackets.

Chang Zhengyang got off work early today. When he got home and just picked up the bowl, he heard a roar coming from the next yard.

The roar came so suddenly that even Chang Zhengyang almost dropped his bowl, let alone others.

There were a few sounds of palm trees hitting the ground, and the people in the Chang family either dropped their chopsticks on the ground or their bowls on the table. Fortunately, nothing was broken.

Little Pig was obviously frightened. His mouth pouty, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to cry.

Chang Zhengyang quickly picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and put it into her mouth. She chewed it subconsciously twice, and the fragrant scrambled eggs immediately made her laugh.

"Who the hell is yelling like that?"

"God damn it, my bowl broke, which little bastard is the one who yelled? Come out and pay for it!"

Shouting and cursing came from the yards on both sides. It was obvious that the roar just now not only frightened the Chang family, but also the other families. Some unlucky ones even dropped their bowls.

Everyone was poor those days and had few belongings at home. People would not throw away a bowl if it had seven or eight cracks on it.

However, the curses did not last long. From the place where the roar had just been heard, a series of heart-wrenching cries rang out, and the curses from everyone stopped abruptly.

This sound doesn't sound right!

"Is this voice from Liu Guangtian, the second son of the Liu family next door?"

Guo Huiying picked up her chopsticks and turned to look in the direction of the next yard with some doubt.

Chang Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Who else could it be? It must be Liu Haizhong who got drunk again. Well, looking at Liu Guangtian's condition, I think he was injured, and seriously injured."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Chang Zhengyang's ears moved slightly, and he heard that a group of people had gathered in the backyard next door, and these people were running towards the front yard. Not long after, the gate of their house was slammed loudly.

"Whether Zhengyang is here or not, Guangtian's leg is broken."

Liu Guangtian's leg is broken?

The whole family was shocked and hurriedly got up and went out. As soon as they opened the gate, people outside swarmed in.

The leader was Xu Damao, who rushed in holding the ten-year-old Liu Guangtian. Behind him came the second aunt and the distraught Liu Haizhong, and further behind were Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and others.

Chang Zhengyang glanced at Liu Guangtian who was wailing continuously, and his eyelids twitched.

Wow, even his calf was broken. Liu Haizhong is really heartless. Isn’t he afraid that his son will break his leg when he grows up?

"Go to the backyard and bring a door panel. I'll go get the medicine box. Oh, and don't forget to get a wooden strip to tie your legs."

Chang Zhengyang asked He Yuzhu to call two people to go to the backyard to lift the door panel. He went to his room to get the medicine box. When he came out, Liu Guangtian had already been placed on the door panel.

The second aunt squatted beside him, holding his hand, crying and sobbing. Others were persuading her not to worry.

When Chang Zhengyang came out with the medicine box, the second aunt jumped up as if she had seen a savior, grabbed Chang Zhengyang's arm and said anxiously: "Zhengyang, come and look at my Guangtian..."

"I know, don't worry!"

Chang Zhengyang gently shook off the second aunt's hand, squatted down and touched Liu Guangtian's calf, and the boy screamed in pain.

"Two people come, hold down his hands and feet!"

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao immediately stood up, one holding Liu Guangtian's upper body and the other holding his other intact leg.

"Oh, it hurts so much..."

Seeing that the boy was shouting so loudly, Chang Zhengyang asked the third child to go to the house to get a rag, crumple it into a ball, and stuff it into his mouth. Everyone's mouth twitched when they saw it. The second aunt was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the first aunt in time.

Chang Zhengyang took out a pair of scissors and prepared to cut open Liu Guangtian's trouser legs. The second aunt finally couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly said, "Don't cut, don't cut, just take off your pants, just take off your pants!"

Liu Guangtian, your mother's love for you is very limited!

Chang Zhengyang speechlessly put down the scissors, and together with Xu Damao, he took off Liu Guangtian's pants. In the process, they inevitably touched the wound, and Liu Guangtian was shaking with pain. Fortunately, He Yuzhu had strong hands and held him down tightly.

After the pants were taken off, everyone finally saw the twisted calf. The skin at the break was already purple. Everyone's face trembled and they looked at Liu Haizhong who was standing in the corner, silent and distraught.

Chang Zhengyang first reached out his hand to feel the specific situation of the broken bone. Fortunately, it was not a comminuted fracture, but just broken into two pieces.

Besides, Liu Guangtian is still young and in the period of growth. As long as he gets enough nutrition, he can basically recover.

Chang Zhengyang grabbed the two ends, pulled them apart, aligned them, then applied iodine, tied them with wooden strips, and tied them up!

By the time he stood up and clapped his hands, only five minutes had passed.

"Okay, just take him to the hospital to get a cast and some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs."

The second aunt asked blankly, "Is that all?"

Chang Zhengyang was washing his hands beside the well. Hearing this, he said speechlessly, "What else? His injuries only look scary, but they're actually easy to treat. Okay, send him to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly lifted Liu Guangtian up, borrowed Chang's tricycle, and rushed to the hospital.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Chang Zhengyang hurriedly called out to Yi Zhonghai's brother Yan Fugui.

"Uncle One, Uncle Three, what do you two think about what happened today?"

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui looked at each other, and Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Liu was too outrageous this time. How could he hit a child so hard? But from the way he looked just now, he should have realized that he was wrong."

Chang Zhengyang didn't comment, looked at Yan Fugui, and said, "Third uncle, do you know why the second uncle beat the child?"

Yan Fugui touched his glasses and said speechlessly: "Your third aunt asked the second aunt, and I heard that it was because Liu Guangtian ate two more bites of scrambled eggs. What do you think caused this incident..."

"Just for two bites of scrambled eggs?"

Chang Zhengyang's eyes widened and he became speechless. He thought Liu Guangtian had done something earth-shattering, such as stealing other people's money or burning down their houses.

When I think of Liu Haizhong's usual confused look, unable to read or write, and putting on an official air all day long, it makes people feel disgusted.

Chang Zhengyang sneered, "Is such a person qualified to be the headmaster? First uncle, third uncle, shouldn't you hold a meeting of the whole hospital to make a decision on this matter?"
