"But among the several villages near us, only Dayangshu Village has a Doctor Yang. But it's windy and snowy right now, and it's extremely dark. I guess he won't come here even if we invite him."
"In this way, you can stay here with peace of mind. I will go and ask the doctor for you early tomorrow morning and let him take a closer look at it."
"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Yongwu thanked him repeatedly.
I really met a kind-hearted person.
Zhu Yongwu felt warm in his heart.
Jiang Youcheng and Mr. Liu packed up an east wing room for their father and son to live in.
The house was always cleaned and kept clean, but it was usually unoccupied, so I didn't light the fire wall. I just put a charcoal basin in and used the quilt to help keep it warm, but not cold at all.
After cleaning up, Zhu Yongwu sat down on the bed. Taking advantage of the fact that only Jiang Youcheng, an old man, was around, he took the money bag out of his coat and wanted to give Jiang Youcheng money.
"Uncle, my aunt and sister have been here just now. It's not easy for me to take them. We, father and son, are too much trouble here. You can take these."
Zhu Yongwu took a piece of silver and stuffed it into Jiang Youcheng's hand, "Don't be polite, it's as it should be. My legs will bother my uncle and aunt here for a few days, and I have to ask a doctor, both inside and outside." Let uncle and aunt worry about it, if you don’t take it, I’ll feel really bad about it.”
Jiang Youcheng and Liu's good intentions are due to their good intentions. There is no reason for them and their son to eat and drink for free.
It is only natural that we should pay for food and accommodation.
Jiang Youcheng thought for a moment and took the money, "Okay, then I'll take it first. When you recover from your injuries, I'll take back more and make up less."
Their family took good care of Zhu Yongwu and his son, and treated them well. They only treated them as landlords and tenants, so they could get the money.
Seeing this, Zhu Yongwu smiled.
Jiang Youcheng talked to Zhu Yongwu for a while, helped him prepare a pot of hot water, and told him the location of the chamber pot in case he couldn't find it when he got up at night.
"Okay, you guys should go to bed early. If anything happens at night, call us. This is close to the east room where we live. You can hear us if you call."
Jiang Youcheng worriedly warned, "Don't be polite. Since you gave the money, you are the tenant. The landlord must take care of him with all his heart."
The latter sentence contains some elements of joking.
Zhu Yongwu was amused, "Don't worry, uncle, you must treat this place as your own home. It's getting late, so uncle should go to bed quickly."
"Hey." Jiang Youcheng went back to his room.
Zhu Guangtai closed the door, bolted the door, took off his clothes, and lay down next to Zhu Yongwu obediently.
The quilt was warm, and the little guy stretched out his comfortable legs.
"Dad, does your ankle still hurt?" Zhu Guangtai asked.
"It's much better now. It doesn't hurt as much as before." Zhu Yongwu answered truthfully.
When I was walking in the wind and snow, the branch used as a crutch was not of much use. When walking, I had to continue to use force on my sprained foot. It was freezing and snowy outside, and my shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud and water, which hurt my foot. To endure greater pain.
At that time, my ankle was really hurting, it was excruciating.
But now that it has warmed up, people can lie on the warm bed smoothly, and their ankles have also been cleaned. Even if they hurt now, they really don't hurt that much anymore.
"Uncle Jiang told me to go and ask the doctor to come over and show Dad early in the morning." Zhu Guangtai said with his little face raised.
"Well, Uncle Jiang's family are all good people." Zhu Yongwu smiled and touched Zhu Guangtai's little head, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
After a day's journey, Zhu Yongwu could see that Zhu Guangtai's face was full of exhaustion.
Hearing the word "sleep", Zhu Guangtai yawned greatly, and his little head shrank into the bed. He hugged Zhu Yongwu's arm tightly and closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened it again and stretched his little head upward, "Dad, can we find my great-grandfather's house?"
"It should be possible." Zhu Yongwu touched Zhu Guangtai's head again.
To be honest, Zhu Yongwu had no confidence in this matter.
He only knew that his grandfather's home was in Anmi County. He didn't know whether it was in the county town or in a village on the boundary of the county.
And since he was born, he has never been to his maternal grandfather's house, nor has he met anyone in his maternal grandfather's family. He only heard from several aunts who were close friends with his mother that her mother had mentioned before that there were two sisters in the family, and two sisters. elder brother.
After so many years, I don’t know if my grandfather’s family is still there, who else is there, and whether they know about his existence.
And since they haven't seen each other for so many years, they naturally don't have much affection for him. After his mother passed away, no one from his grandfather's family came to see him, so they probably didn't care about him.
In such a relationship, if you go to the past, you may not be able to get along harmoniously.
Zhu Yongwu knew this, but he had nowhere else to go right now.
Most villages in various places have the same clan and surname, and most of them reject outsiders. If he settled in an ordinary village, he would probably live a cautious life, and Zhu Guangtai would also be bullied by the children in the village.
However, if he goes to settle in a town or county, he does not have enough money to buy a house, and if he wants to go out to work to make money, he will probably have to run far away, so he will often have to leave Zhu Guangtai alone. At home, he didn't know what his neighbors would be like, and he was extremely worried.
Anyway...
Zhu Yongwu was also worried, and he didn't know which way to go.
But now, he doesn't have to worry.
If you hurt your leg, you can't go anywhere.
On the contrary, this made his shaky heart feel a little more stable.
In particular, this family seemed to be very enthusiastic and sincere, and they were completely good people, which made him feel even more at ease.
Zhu Yongwu pulled up the quilt: "It's okay if you can't find her. Dad is here. We are together, and we are at home wherever we go."
"Yeah!" Zhu Guangtai nodded vigorously and grinned, "With dad here, wherever you go is home."
"Go to sleep." Zhu Yongwu urged.
But he didn't hear Zhu Guangtai's response for a long time. When he looked down, he saw that the little guy had his eyes closed and his breathing was even. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, but his arms were still exposed, hugging him tightly.
Zhu Yongwu tugged on his arm, but it didn't move.
In the past two years, Zhu Guangtai has been like this when sleeping, for fear that the two of them will be separated.
The child really suffered when he had a father like him.
Zhu Yongwu frowned and tried twice more. Then he gently took Zhu Guangtai's hand away from his arm and put it back under the quilt. Seeing that he didn't wake him up, he breathed a sigh of relief and blew it out. He turned on the oil lamp on the table and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Jiang Youcheng went out early to ask for a doctor in Dayangshu Village.
Because of the heavy snow, it was difficult to walk. By the time Dr. Yang was brought home, the sun was already high.
