??Everyone in the room is just like this. At first glance, the old people on the kang are full of children and grandchildren, and the room is so crowded, it seems very happy.

??But when Li Yuan saw his fourth uncle standing in front of the cabinet, he didn't speak, and he didn't care whether others saw it. He just lay down on it and rummaged through it.

??Look at the beds on the kang, all of which have been opened again. Some of the worn-out bedding used by the elderly has been torn to pieces, exposing the gray cotton balls inside.

?? Li Yuan turned around, and found that everything had been moved. Some marks were particularly obvious. Even the uncle and second uncle had dust on their hands that had not been wiped off. It was obvious that they had rummaged through things just now, but they didn’t know how to rummage. What.

"Let's go out." Li Yuan pulled Qi Changqing, and the two came out one after the other.

?? The atmosphere in the room is very weird. It looks like it is fun, but it just makes people feel very uncomfortable.

?? "Auntie and cousin didn't come." Qi Changqing said with some emotion.

?? "Usually for such a big event, the aunts and the others are daughter-in-laws, and they rarely attend such occasions. Although the cousins ​​and the others are granddaughters, they just go there because they are worried that Grandma may have some business discussions. Girls are not allowed to participate or even touch things in the house."

??The reason why Li Jingying was able to enter the house was because of her special situation: she was going to support Li Buqun in the future, and she was barely a single girl.

?? "In the old tradition handed down from the past, men participated in many things. A considerable part of the reason is that the living environment in the past was relatively harsh, such as weddings and weddings, etc., because if you want to leave the village for activities, you may encounter wild animals or something... "

??Thirty years from the mountain village, when it snows heavily in winter, there will still be wild beasts wandering around the village, and you can see particularly obvious footprints the next day.

??That is to say, the houses in the village have improved in recent years. People have no shortage of food and drink, and they don’t need to be hungry or have strength, so they dare to go out and walk around at night. That is a last resort. Usually, they rest at sunset and prefer to stay at home If you are idle and moldy, you don't go out to take risks.

?? It's just that the old tradition passed down from the past is actually a bit weird now.

??Now the living conditions are good, weddings and weddings do not require manpower, there are bullock carts, tractors and so on, if not, you can spend money to hire someone to help, anyway, Li Yuan thinks that these things are not necessary to exclude the women in the family .

??There are so many people in the room now, what are they doing?

??In the old man's house, he rummaged through boxes and chests to find things, took ready-made firewood to heat up the kang, heated up the stove, and steamed egg custard with the old man's own eggs, and did nothing else.

"Whether it's good or bad, you have to send it to the hospital." Li Yuan said in a low voice.

"Listen to what the elders say, we juniors won't listen to what they say." Qi Changqing was a little touched, "In this case, it's similar to the life of a big family in ancient times, and the money and everything have to be distributed uniformly. , and someone needs to preside over the feed.”

"It's just that there are many people and things are complicated." Li Yuan said.

??Li Buqun and the others in the room were indeed discussing matters.

??The old man can't get off the kang just lying down like this, and he can still live if he looks at it for a while. Grandpa is getting old, so he must not be able to take care of grandma by himself, so someone has to take care of him. Instead of doing this, it's better to discuss it. Send it to the hospital to have a look, maybe it can be cured.

?? "Just take the ox cart to the hospital." The uncle said.

?? The second uncle sat next to the stove with his knees hugged, his head bowed, and he didn't speak.

?? Li Buqun frowned, with a stern face, very unhappy, and said: "It must be sent quickly, without delay."

?? Uncle Li said something vaguely, but no one heard him clearly. He was still looking for things.

Grandpa was also sitting on the kang, the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face seemed to be carved on it, pulled his face, and said: "I still have 2000 yuan in savings, which is stored in the village chief, you go to get it , take him to the hospital."

?? "It just so happens that this year, parents, your pension money has not been withdrawn, and each person has 1000 yuan, and this is another 2000 yuan, which adds up to [-] yuan, which is almost enough." Uncle Li's ears are so good this time, so he hurried over explain.

??The money is in place, and it's not the brothers who pay for it for the time being, so that's easy to say.

?? Soon the ox cart was ready, and the tattered bedding was carried into the ox cart. Grandpa was getting old and stayed at home instead of going to the hospital.

??The uncle is in charge of the money, which is regarded as the host of the donation. When the time comes, how much money is spent will have to be recorded, and it will be announced in front of everyone.

??The second uncle, Li Buqun, and the fourth uncle all got into the bullock cart.

??Anyway, there is no shrinking back at this time. After all, they are all sons. Everyone in the village is watching, and they must behave when they should. As for how worried their mothers are, Li Yuan thinks I'm afraid they are all average, otherwise the 4000 yuan for medical treatment would not have to be paid by Grandpa himself.

??The ox cart left, and the other juniors also dispersed, chatting and laughing, anyway, there was not much worry, and they all regarded it as an obligation.

?? Li Yuan and Qi Changqing were going back to the big house together, but Li Jingying caught up and said, "Yuan Yuan, go to the hospital later, and get the money when you need it. You are doing well in the village Yes, everyone is watching, you can't hide behind at this time."

??The meaning of these words is that I want Li Yuan to take the money.

?? If the old man is really short of money, Li Yuan thinks that he has no relationship with her, but in fact he doesn't have much hatred. If he really needs money to save his life, he will definitely take it out without hesitation.

?? Even if anyone on the street needs money to save their lives, Li Yuan will also take the money. A life cannot be measured by money.

?? But according to Li Jingying's words, because she has a job in the village and makes some money on hand, she has to take the initiative to spend money because she is afraid of being gossiped. This kind of logic is really unreasonable.

?? "My brother-in-law was doing renovations in the town a while ago, and he made 10,000+ by changing hands. Why don't you let Yu Tiancheng pay for it?" Li Yuan asked back.

?? "I'm already married, can I be the same as you!" At this time, Li Jingying made the distinction very clearly.

??Anyway, it is impossible to pay by yourself, but Li Yuan must be asked to pay. In this way, as the third house on Li Buqun's side, everyone will have face.

?? "Yuanyuan, you are a college student anyway, so you can't lose face." Li Jingying said, "Go to the hospital later, and tell me what's going on when the time comes, and I'll give you some advice. It's not easy for grandma at such an age, I see grandpa getting older all of a sudden, and I'm really worried about grandma."

??Li Jingying has a very good relationship with Grandma. When she was young, Grandma was basically with her. After growing up and getting married, Li Jingying often went to see Grandma.

?? It's just that being in a good relationship is one thing. Li Jingying can completely contribute money and efforts by herself, and forcing Li Yuan to contribute money and efforts is a bit disgusting.

?? "You go by yourself." Li Yuan directly refused.

?? "Yuan Yuan, why have you become so indifferent!" Li Jingying looked incredible.

?? "Obviously it's your own distorted heart." Li Yuan threw down such a sentence, ignoring Li Jingying, and hurried back to the big house.

??It's still too cold outside. Even if the sun is shining, it's not a joke if it's minus [-] degrees. It's cold in your hand and pocket.

??Running back to the big house as if fleeing, Li Yuan almost threw himself on the radiator.

"These days there is a good chance that the water pipes will be frozen and cracked." Xu Jinmian looked very relaxed in his thin home clothes, "How is your grandma?"

?? "The ox cart was sent to the hospital. It's a crime in such a cold day. I knew it would be fine to help shovel the ice in and out of the courtyard. It's not troublesome." Li Yuan poured a cup of hot water and hugged him warmly. hand.

?? Hongdou ran over unsteadily, circling around Li Yuan's feet.

?? Li Yuan put down the water glass, and pressed his cold hand on the red bean. The cold feeling made the puppy tremble, and it spun around under Li Yuan's hand, and ran away quickly.

?? "Haha, let you see how powerful I am." Li Yuan deliberately frightened the puppy with his teeth and claws.

?? Hong Dou ran behind Xu Jinmian's feet and hid his head, leaving his body exposed.

??In the kennel, Heidou crawled out, and ran towards Li Yuan staggeringly for no apparent reason.

"It's probably because your father and brothers have many brothers, and they all think that they can help. For such a trivial matter, just help out." Xu Jinmian waved at Heidou, preventing him from falling into Li Yuan's clutches in the past.

??Heidou looked at Xu Jinmian with wet eyes, and still ran towards Li Yuan, and then encountered the cold claws, and ran away screaming.

?? "My uncles and those who don't usually go to see, and the cousins ​​and grandpa and grandma have a normal relationship, so they don't usually go there." Li Yuan couldn't help complaining, "My uncle, second uncle, still There are my dad and fourth uncle, who have been divorced before, and anyway, they are more or less related to my grandma."

?? It may be nothing to make a fuss once or twice, but the more times, the feelings will always wear off.

?? What's more, looking at Li Buqun, his so-called respect and love for his parents are more of an adult's choice after weighing the pros and cons, not the real feelings from the heart.

?? If there is such a little bit of affection, it is not impossible not to visit Grandpa and Grandma all winter.

??When it was almost night, Li Yuan cooked rice, put some in a soup bowl, took some fruit, and carried it to Grandpa's side.

??Decades of dilapidated houses have persisted until now, and there are indescribable vicissitudes and dilapidation everywhere. The houses are still soiled and the cement is not paved.

??The stove that was heated during the day has long been turned off, and now the room is cold, and the bedding on the kang has been removed, and now it looks very thin.

?? There was no fire in the stove, and the little old man sat on the kang by himself without turning on the light.

?? "Grandpa, I brought you something to eat." Li Yuan put down the things, found a bowl and poured them out.

"How is your grandmother?" After asking, the little old man turned on the light, stared at Li Yuan for a while, and then recognized him, "It's Yuan Yuan."

?? "I don't know what the other side said yet. I'll call and ask later." Li Yuan originally didn't want to care about this matter anymore. Seeing the skinny little old man staying alone in the house, he was finally moved with compassion.

??Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Li Yuan has grown up by himself in these years, and the number of times he communicated with Grandpa is very few.

??The only communication in my memory is that there was a time when Li Yuan came home from school, the door was locked, and he waited outside until it was dark. When he got scared, he cried loudly. It was Grandpa who heard his cry and came out. Welcome him to the old house, and pour him a bowl of hot water to drink.

?? At that time, grandma was there, but the little old lady was not close to Li Yuan, and basically ignored him.

?? "I'll call and ask." Li Yuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Li Buqun.

??The phone is connected, and the button over there is dead.

?? Call again, or press dead, just do not answer the phone.

??Li Yuan thought about it, and simply called the hospital directly.

?? When the phone was picked up over there, Li Yuan specifically asked if it was convenient and whether it would take up working time. The person who answered the phone happened to remember Li Yuan, so he found someone who just finished his shift and got off work. help.

?? "Today, an old man was sent here with a fractured tailbone and a little malnutrition. He needs to rest."

?? "In fact, stay in the hospital for a few days, live a comfortable life for a few days, and then go home and take care of it slowly. The doctor's suggestion is to eat something good during this period, and the weather is cold. The elderly are already weak. Some nutritious ones are also good for cold resistance."

??The advice given by the doctor was relatively conservative. At that time, the four uncles listened together. When the doctor said, they all nodded and agreed, but as soon as the doctor left, the four of them started arguing.

??The hospital in the town is not big and not busy. When there is a noise here, almost everyone knows about it.
