Chapter 349

~11 min read 2,171 words

"Awake~" Wei Ming looked at Sister Xue's peerless beauty.

"What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock."

"Ah, it's so late!"

Gong Ying hurriedly sat up, and then Wei Ming hugged her: "So hard yesterday, what's wrong with sleeping a little longer."

Thinking of the hardship yesterday, Gong Ying couldn't sit still even more.

"I'm going to brush my teeth."

Wei Ming: "We still have to go watch a movie, can't brush for half an hour again."

Hearing this, Sister Xue got out of bed, but still kicked him lightly with her bare little foot. Annoying ghost.

At this time, the first movie of October 1st was still continuing, and Little Calabash's bad luck went far beyond fever and nail-pierced palms.

It turned out that the silence just now had both a foil atmosphere and a foreshadowing effect. After bandaging at the town health center, Little Calabash's world suddenly became silent.

After bandaging the wound on his hand, He Hua took Little Calabash to see his ears in the county by tractor. The sky was snowing, which set off the sadness and misery of the mother and son even more.

In the county hospital, an old doctor asked what medicine Little Calabash had used before.

"He had a fever before and was very sick. Later, the doctor in the village gave him an injection and he was much more energetic. Specifically, what was the name..."

He Hua was trying hard to think, and the old doctor asked: "Was it gentamicin?"

"Right right right, that's the name. I was still thinking about what relationship it had with Daqing."

Old doctor: "Then that's right. The effect of this antibiotic drug is indeed good, but the side effects are also very terrible. For children and the elderly, it is easy to cause tinnitus and even deafness. Your son is probably in this situation."

Wei Ming writing this plot was also to popularize this common sense known to everyone in the future.

In the 70s to 90s, due to the limited medical knowledge of barefoot doctors and the tight medical conditions in rural areas, sometimes they didn't care about anything for the sake of efficacy and cheapness. Because of the inappropriate use of gentamicin, it caused many children to be deaf for life. According to statistics, there were 300,000 people. A child in a village next to Wei Ming's was in this situation.

Most of the deaf-mute dancers who performed the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva on the Spring Festival Gala were related to the use of gentamicin.

Finally, in 1999, this type of drug was banned for use in children under 6 years old.

Some viewers were already whispering, discussing whether this was a fabrication of the movie or true, because they basically had all heard of this drug.

"It's true."

In Changchun, there was no scene for Zhu Lin today. She took the initiative to invite Jin Jin Yaqin and several friends who were on good terms with the crew to watch "A Mother's Love."

She was crying while being happy for Little Xue. Little Xue acted the role of He Hua too well. It was the kind that could be remembered by the audience for a lifetime. An actor could only be considered complete if they had such a role in their lifetime.

Of course, she was also a bit sour. This was a script tailor-made for her by Little Wei, and she hadn't acted in Wei Ming's works herself.

And also, her Hundred Flowers Best Actress award probably had no chance.

When Jin Jin Yaqin and others discussed gentamicin, as a pharmaceutical worker, she gave a definite answer. This drug indeed had great side effects and was easy to damage the kidneys.

Hearing her say this, everyone worried about Little Calabash's fate again.

At this time, Gong Ying, who played He Hua, was already haggard, with a kind of broken beauty, but she didn't resign herself to fate. When she realized that her son wasn't completely deaf, she felt she could still be cured, and the suggestion given by the old doctor was: "Go to a big hospital in a big city to take a look. I'm powerless here."

So He Hua hugged Little Calabash, whose palms were wrapped in gauze and whose spirit was listless, and stepped onto the train to the Magic City. The hustle and bustle around seemed to have nothing to do with them.

This segment didn't have an interlude, but Wei Ming specially "created" a piece of background music for it.

Most of the soundtrack for this movie was completed by Gu Liang Jiahui and the soundtrack masters of the Beijing Film Studio. Wei Ming only did this segment. The original name was "Xiaoxiangzi." I guess everyone isn't familiar with the name, but everyone must have heard it. Once this bgm rings, one knows the protagonist's days are very bitter.

The original song was Japanese. After Wei Ming took it, he renamed it "He Hua." Even without lyrics, it could make the audience cry. In order to make Sister Xue's movie a success, Wei Ming worked very hard.

Coincidentally, Little Calabash's father Hu Hu Wanqian and his new wife were also doing examinations in this hospital.

They had been married for half a year. Under the urging of the four parents, they tried hard to create a human, but there was no effect, so they ran to check.

Hu Hu Wanqian was dissatisfied in his heart. He had given birth to a son, so how could he have a problem.

But his wife said sharply: "Who knows if that son of yours is yours? I heard your ex-wife's family style wasn't very upright."

Because her father's power was in full swing, Hu Hu Wanqian didn't dare to refute, and the examination results showed that it was the wife's problem.

It wasn't his problem. Hu Hu Wanqian breathed a sigh of relief, but Hu Hu Wanqian's mother, who learned the result, was worried.

She didn't hope her son would have no offspring, but this daughter-in-law definitely couldn't be divorced. Although she had no education and was rude and mean, her son still had to rely on his father-in-law for promotion after graduation.

"Can't the hospital cure it?" Hu Mother asked.

Hu Hu Wanqian and his wife shook their heads, can't cure.

However, just when leaving the hospital, Hu Hu Wanqian saw He Hua holding her son. He almost didn't recognize her. The woman who was once so beautiful that he got her regardless of the consequences had now become so haggard.

As for He Hua, she didn't see him at all. She only had her son in her eyes.

Hu Hu Wanqian let his wife go first, and then told his mother about his discovery just now.

Hu Mother rolled her eyes and came up with a plan.

"I'll go home with Nana first. You go back to the hospital to take a look. If Nana can't give birth, it's also possible to be a ready-made mother directly."

Hearing this, the audience was so angry that their teeth itched. This was to take Little Calabash away from He Hua's side!

However, the more hateful part was still to come. When Hu Hu Wanqian saw his son's penetrating wound and learned that his son might become deaf, he was suddenly furious and vented his anger on He Hua.

"How do you take care of children!" Hu Hu Wanqian pointed at He Hua's nose and spat, "My good son has become like this in your hands in just half a year. Are you a qualified mother? If you can't take care of the child, I'll do it myself!"

Seeing Hu Hu Wanqian's face, the audience scolded angrily. Zhao Zhao Debiao, who was watching the movie, hummed: "Damn it, he abandoned his wife and children, and he's still talking big here. Don't let me run into him."

Today, he and Yanzi left Zhao Ling Zifeng to his mother. The couple stole half a day of leisure and came out to watch a movie and go shopping.

As a result, Yanzi was so angry that her breasts hurt, and Seeing Biaozi also started swearing.

Seeing such a big man wanting to be real offline, Ma Ma Xiaowei, who was sitting behind them, lowered his hat. Tang Tang Guoqiang next to him had red eyes and was obviously crying. Now he was also covering his mouth and laughing secretly.

They were all colleagues from the August First Film Studio and came out to watch the movie together. They didn't expect Ma Ma Xiaowei's character to be so bad. They had to be careful when going out in the future.

He Hua didn't say a word. Maybe she was also doubting herself about everything that happened.

At this time, the doctor came out and told Hu Hu Wanqian to lower his voice. He immediately asked the doctor if the child could be cured.

The doctor said: "Fortunately, it was sent in time, and the dosage wasn't too much. There is a certain chance of recovery, but it's quite troublesome, and the cost isn't low."

Hearing "the cost isn't low," He Hua, who was already at the end of her rope and owed a lot of debt, was full of sadness in her eyes, and then looked at Hu Hu Wanqian with a pleading meaning.

Hu Hu Wanqian didn't agree to it immediately at this time. He indicated that he would go home and ask.

Finally, he and his parents discussed, and the conclusion was that if it was cured, he would raise it by his side. After all, it was his own. If it couldn't be cured...

"A deaf-mute, can't count on him in the future," Hu Hu Wanqian's father said coldly, "It's better to adopt a healthy one directly."

And Hu Hu Wanqian just had a look of pain flash on his face, and then nodded in agreement.

At this point, the crowd's anger at Hu Hu Wanqian had shifted to the entire Hu family. All kinds of "not human," "bastard," "f*** your mother" were scolded very happily.

Poor Old Chen Chen Qiang was already at this age, and he added another villain medal. Tang Tang Guoqiang also understood why he asked Chen Peisi to come to watch the movie and he firmly refused. He probably knew his father would be scolded again.

At this point, the movie reached the most climactic bitter segment—mother and son separation.

The main highlights of this segment were still the performances of Gong Ying and Xizi.

In order to save her son's hearing, under Hu Hu Wanqian's coercion, she decided to give up custody of her son.

When it was time to separate, He Hua didn't dare to say she didn't want him anymore. She told Little Calabash she was going out to buy food.

Little Calabash couldn't hear, so she wrote a line of crooked characters.

After she left, Little Calabash moved a stool with one hand, climbed up with difficulty, and stood in front of the window to watch his mother downstairs, reluctant to let her leave his sight for a moment.

However, Mom didn't buy pancakes at the hospital entrance as she said. She carried her luggage and walked further and further away.

Realizing something was wrong, Little Calabash immediately wanted to run out the door. However, his biological father and the grandparents he met for the first time were at the door. They stopped Little Calabash from leaving.

They explained roughly that Mom didn't want him anymore, but Little Calabash could only see three ferocious faces. As for what they said, he couldn't hear at all.

The switching between the subjective perspective and Little Calabash's perspective made this sense of powerlessness press on the audience so they couldn't breathe.

Then the lens began to switch between He Hua and Little Calabash. He Hua ran, cried, and looked back. Little Calabash was besieged by three adults, struggling until the gauze on his palm bled again.

At the same time, the third interlude "Is Mother Daughter" sounded, but Wei Ming changed it to "Is Mother Child" here. In order to adapt to the plot, the changes in the lyrics were also very large.

This song was written by Tang Tian and composed by Qian Lei. It was a chorus song about mother and daughter sung by Huang Wei Qishan and Xilinnayi Gao on the Spring Festival Gala.

When brushing short videos, everyone must have brushed that sentence "I hope you are loved, I hope you will be happy, I hope my hands can block the wind for you..."

Wei Ming took these few sentences as the core and modified part of the lyrics according to the story of He Hua and Little Calabash. On one side was a mother willing to give up accompanying her child to grow up for the sake of the child's future, and on the other side was a child who felt sorry for his mother and longed to accompany his mother to grow old.
