Looking at the old Yangtou in front of him who was crying like a child, Yang Huazhong was stunned.
In his memory, his father was always so majestic, so aloof, always telling the truth, spitting and nailing.
Even though he was partial to Dafang, he showed his favoritism in a paternalistic manner, so that others dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
In his opinion, his father is the kind of person who will never collapse, just like the majestic Mian Niu Mountain behind the village, which will never fall, let alone show such a situation in front of his son. Come on.
But at this moment, I felt the tight grip on my sleeve by my father, and looked at the gray-haired old man in front of me, sobbing, mumbling words of begging in his mouth, begging him not to give up treatment and to help. He treats...
Yang Huazhong's chest was heaving violently, and he had an indescribable feeling.
Sad? pain?
He couldn't tell.
He just stretched out his hand to hold his father's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Dad, don't worry, I am your son, I will not ignore you! Don't worry!"
Old Yang was startled for a moment, then nodded, and then his crying gradually subsided.
Yang Huazhong stayed by the bedside for a long time, until Old Yang fell asleep, and then he turned and left.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they met Mrs. Sun and Yang Huazhou coming together. Ms. Sun was still holding the dinner for Old Yangtou in her hand.
"Don't go in yet, dad just fell asleep." Yang Huazhong said to the two of them.
Mrs. Sun glanced at the sky. Dusk had just fallen and it was time for dinner.
"Why are you sleeping already? You haven't eaten dinner yet," she said softly.
Yang Huazhong waved his hand: "That's it for now. Let him sleep for a while. Let's go to the main room."
In the hall, Yang Huazhong told Sun and Yang Huazhou what happened to Old Yangtou.
After hearing this, the two of them were also stunned.
Yang Huazhou sighed and said, "Hey, our dad is really old. He has refused to admit defeat all his life. At this stage, he is completely panicked."
Mrs. Sun was also full of emotion. According to her father-in-law's strong character, it would have been impossible for her to say such pleading words in the past when she could run and walk.
Hey, it’s really sad to hear this, so sad.
Yang Huazhong said: "I plan to make arrangements at home in the next two days, and take my father to the county town for leg treatment on the tenth day of the lunar month."
Yang Huazhou thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, let me go with you."
Sun said: "Lao Wu, didn't you originally say you would return to Qing'an County after the Lantern Festival? Suyun and Mianmian both want you to stay at home for a few more days!"
Yang Huazhou smiled bitterly and said: "Dad is already like that. How can I think of staying at home for a few more days? Why don't I pack up and send dad to the county hospital for leg treatment with my third brother? At least I can get treatment at the county hospital." I'll stay with you for five or six days, and then I'll leave directly from the county seat to Qing'an County."
Yang Huazhong did not stop Yang Huazhou. Indeed, he could not do it on his own.
The old man was so big that he couldn't carry it for long by himself, so he had to have a brother by his side to help him.
"Then when Lao Wu goes to Qing'an County, what will happen to Dad?" asked Sun again.
Yang Huazhong said: "There is also Yongxian Yongjin Yongzhi and the others, let's take their turn!"
Sun thought about it for a moment, "If that doesn't work, let's call the fourth child. The fourth child is also very worried about dad's behavior these days. He's afraid that dad doesn't want to see him, so he only dares to secretly inquire about dad's situation with me. I can see that the fourth child also really cares about our father."
In this regard, Yang Huazhou did not express his position.
And Yang Huazhong said: "We can't make the decision on this matter. Whether we want the fourth child to come back or not depends on our father's wishes. But our father can't stand the excitement of the current situation. Who dares to mention the fourth child?" It’s so exciting!”
The news that Lao Yangtou was going to the county town for leg treatment on the tenth day of the first lunar month was quickly passed on to several other households, including Yang Huamei.
At Lao Wang's house, while having dinner, Wang Shuanzi and Yang Huamei said cautiously: "Mei'er, I heard that your third brother and fifth brother are taking your father to the county town for leg treatment on the tenth day of the lunar month. Is this true?"
Yang Huamei nodded: "This matter cannot be false."
Wang Hongquan nodded: "Your third brother and fifth brother are both true filial sons. Your father is lucky to have sons like them!"
Yang Huamei smiled bitterly.
No matter how lucky you are, you are not as lucky as being able to run and jump.
Wang Hongquan continued: "Mei'er, tell me, can we take a ride and take Dabai with us to the county town to have his leg treated?"
When it comes to Dabai, Yang Huamei's hands holding the vegetables paused.
The splints and bandages on the child's feet have been removed, and he can walk on the ground, but he is left with sequelae and is limping.
Seeing that Yang Huamei remained silent, Wang Hongquan glanced at Wang Shuanzi again, who also had a solemn expression.
But seeing the longing look in his old father's eyes, Wang Shuanzi still had to bite the bullet and said to Yang Huamei: "Mei'er, my father's suggestion is what I want to say. How about we take Dabai to the county seat and have a look again? The county doctor's proposal Maybe the medical skills and medicines are better than those of our farmers?"
Yang Huamei raised her head, glanced at the Wang family father and son in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to go to the county town to show Dabai's legs, but do you know? In the first month, we went to the town several times to show his legs, and it has already been spent. It’s more than two taels of silver. This money was raised by my mother’s family last time, and it’s almost gone.”
"This trip to the county town to see the legs, why don't we have to bring four or five taels of silver? We can't rely on my third brother and fifth brother to eat, drink, and cure our legs, right? But what about the money? Our family can squeeze out four or five taels now. Will the money come?"
When it came to money, the Wang family and his son suddenly withered.
Is it possible for a penny to be a hero, let alone four or five taels of silver?
"Are we going to just forget about Dabai's leg? No treatment?" Wang Hongquan murmured and asked.
"This child is still so young, only twelve years old. There is still a long way to go. If he is lame, let alone study, it will be difficult for him to get a wife. What should we do?" Wang Hongquan was at a loss.
Wang Shuanzi could only sigh.
As for Yang Huamei, besides being annoyed, she is also filled with regret, regret for her lavish spending, and regret for her poor management of the family.
In the past, when the children had little money to spend, the father-in-law took care of the crops, and Shuanzi also earned income by guarding the gate of the school. He raised some chickens and ducks at home to supplement the family income, and his parents' family provided covert subsidies.
Life was very prosperous in those few years. I bought meat and fish every three days. I went to the town every ten and a half months to buy snacks for the children and clothes for myself.
Life was comfortable at that time, and I didn't know how to save money. I always thought that everything would be fine and that life would get better and better as the children grew up.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the children are no longer the two children who could just grab a handful of candy canes and buy two toy slingshots. They have grown up, seen the colorful world outside, and seen the town. If they follow the lifestyle of young men from wealthy families, the children will become more ambitious and want more things.
However, the family's income cannot keep up with their growing ambitions, and the children have a psychological gap, which is increasing day by day. In order to make up for it, the family also tries their best to make up for it. Every time they go back to the town to visit them, they provide food, clothing and food. Spending pocket money, everything is indispensable, just so that they can hold their heads up in front of their classmates in the town...
Nowadays, when we really need to spend a lot of money to treat diseases, we are stretched thin!
