76, the leaves return to their roots

The tree is a hundred feet tall, and the leaves fall back to their roots. After death, people still have to be buried in their ancestors' graves. They still have to return to their hometown, to the place where they were born and lived. In Shi Youtian's eyes, his hometown is his own home, and he is poor.

Whether it's good or broken, he and his mother-in-law have managed it bit by bit. He doesn't want to leave his life outside because he's afraid that his soul won't find its way home.

Hearing what his father said, Shi Dayong's heart twisted into a ball. Although he clearly understood that what his father said was true, he still didn't want to believe it: "Dad, what are you talking about? You will live and die wherever you go.

of."

Shi Youtian waved his hand weakly: "Dayong, you don't need to be lenient with me anymore. After a person has lived like this, dad understands everything." At this point, Shi Youtian, who had never shed tears, burst into tears.

Next: "Boss, Dad is worried. Dad is leaving. What will your brothers do? Originally, your mother and I had discussed it and planned to build a few more houses, but now, but now..." Shi Youtian

Sobbing and unable to speak, he suddenly grabbed Shi Dayong's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and held it tighter and tighter: "Mother Dayong, come here." He called to Sun Xiufang.

Sun Xiufang hurriedly stood next to Shi Dayong, with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, I'm coming, I'm coming."

Shi Youtian took one of Sun Xiufang's hands, his loving eyes lingering on Sun Xiufang's face, "Dayong, look, your mother is old. She is willing to worry about your brother's affairs, but she doesn't have the ability. Boss, at home,

I’ll leave it to you, dad, so you can’t just ignore it!”

"Dad! Dad! Dad! I'm in charge. I'm in charge of everything. I'll take the time to go back and build the house. Dad, don't say anything. You don't have to worry about anything in the future. Just live a good life." Dad's unwillingness and despair

The expression on his face made Shi Dayong heart-wrenchingly painful. He agreed repeatedly, his head nodding fiercely. Because the amplitude was too great, tears fell all over Shi Youtian's face.

"I can't live..." His son agreed, and Shi Youtian felt a little relieved. He loosened his clenched palms and let his arms hang down in front of the bed. A handful of tears fell from the corners of his eyes. In an instant, the pillow towel was wet.

"Dad! Dad! You can live. You listen to me. We have medicine. The doctor has prescribed a large package of medicine." Shi Dayong, who was eager to comfort his father, suddenly felt blessed. He grabbed a large package of medicine prescribed by Liang Ruiyuan and showed it to him.

Shi Youtian looked at it, "Dad, look, there are so many medicines. The doctor said that these are new medicines newly developed in their hospital, specifically for this disease." Shi Dayong said, and brought over the medicine prescribed by his hometown.

, put them side by side and showed them to Shi Youtian, "Dad, look, it's different from the ones in our hometown. The doctor said that as long as you take medicine on time, you can control your condition and you'll be saved."

"Really?" Shi Youtian was dubious.

"Really?" Sun Xiufang also had mixed doubts, "You kid, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Shi Dayong was also secretly complaining about why he didn't remember to say this yesterday. He continued to make up lies with his bright tongue: "Really! Really! Yesterday, the doctor just started saying that my father's illness was not good. It scared me. I

Guanggu was so sad that he forgot what the doctor said later in his head. I just remembered it, um um, I just remembered it."

After Shi Dayong finished speaking, he looked at his parents with a serious look on his face, and anyone who saw it would believe him.

"That's good, that's good." Sun Xiufang carefully held the medicine in her arms, "I will give your father the medicine on time from now on. Boss, can you tell me how to take this medicine?"

"Mom, this kind with red letters, take two pills three times a day, two pills at a time with black letters, one pill four times a day with blue letters, two pills three times a day with blue letters..."

Sun Xiufang was illiterate, but she could distinguish colors. She followed Shi Dayong's instructions and piled up the various medicinal ingredients, but she was afraid that she would put them in the wrong place. "Dayong, please check, is the mother's dose correct?"

"Yes, mother, that's it."

Shi Youtian is not as easy to fool as Sun Xiufang. He still doesn't believe it, but looking at Shi Dayong's expression, he doesn't look like he's telling lies. Forget it, he won't argue with Dayong anymore. He will treat it as if what Dayong said is true.

Think of the horse as a live horse doctor.

After everything was tidied up, Sun Xiufang belatedly discovered that Ruimin was not at home. She walked around inside and outside the house, but did not see Ruimin's shadow. She frowned and asked Wang Ying, who was preparing lunch:

"Yingzi, where is the fourth child?"

Wang Ying picked the vegetables absentmindedly, and the scene of her father-in-law holding Dayong's hand and begging Dayong to continue taking care of the big family in her hometown flashed in her mind. To be honest, Wang Ying was unwilling and she did not approve of her father-in-law's behavior.

In terms of education methods, my father-in-law has always treated his children as sheep in a pen, instead of trying to train the children to become eagles.

But at this time, she couldn't express any contradictory opinions. She couldn't let the old man close his eyes, but she felt that there was a lot of pressure on her shoulders. Shi Dayong was usually a filial child who cared about his family. You can see, he will be more dedicated in the future.

Post it to your hometown.

"Yingzi!" Seeing that Wang Ying ignored her, Sun Xiufang couldn't help but raise her voice again, "Yingzi, where did the fourth child go?"

"Ah ah ah, mother, what did you say?" This time Wang Ying heard it, and she quickly raised her head.

"I said, where is the fourth child? What are you thinking about? I called you several times and you didn't hear it!" Sun Xiufang was dissatisfied and her tone was a bit harsh.

"Oh, Ruimin is out. He goes out for a walk every day after dinner. I don't know where he goes, but he will be back when it's time for dinner." Wang Ying saw that the sun had reached its peak, and counted the time.

It was getting late, so he lowered his head again and moved his hands faster.

There is still some rabbit meat stewed the day before yesterday. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now. Wang Ying boils the meat every day and puts the pot into the fresh cold water at night. She smelled it just now and it is not bad, but it is not as good as

It was freshly cooked. Wang Ying peeled two potatoes and planned to mix them into the meat and stew them together. In this way, it would be regarded as a dish. Then stir-fry a large plate of green vegetables. After calculation, it was still not enough. She thought for a moment, um, let's make it later.

Dayong went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pieces of tofu, stewed it in a big bowl, and that was it.

It is said that if you are a young man, you will live in poverty. Wang Ying really understood this sentence deeply. Logically speaking, at Ruimin's age, he is not considered a young man. He is almost thirty years old. How can he still eat like a child?

Like a greedy young man, Shi Dayong must be able to eat it. Every meal in this Ruimin is enough for two Shi Dayong. Think about it, there are four brothers in his hometown. If they all eat like this, it would be better.

It is also difficult to become rich.

Wang Ying recalled that when she was in her hometown, the rice she cooked was always scooped into a bucket with a ladle, and then carried to the dining table outside to be filled into bowls. There were several times when she and He Xiaoxia had not had time to come out.

The kitchen door and the rice in the bucket are gone.

When the meal was ready, Ruimin came back with the meal in mind. He opened the door and saw his mother helping to carry the bowl into the room. Mom and Dad came back. They haven't seen their parents in two days. Ruimin really

He thought a little, and when he saw his mother, he was eager to share his findings in the past few days with her, "Mom, you are back." Ruimin shouted, and ran to Sun Xiufang's side, showing off as he walked.

: "Mom, let me tell you, there is a mountain in front of you. There are many persimmons everywhere on the mountain. I asked my sister-in-law. You can eat whatever you want for free."

Wang Ying heard the words next to him and didn't say anything. He just frowned and thought to himself that Ruimin was short-sighted. His father had such a serious illness. He shouldn't have cared about his father's illness at the first time. He said that Persimmon

What to do?

Ruimin didn't realize that what he did was inappropriate, and kept chattering, "Mom, let me tell you, there are walnuts and black dates on the mountain. Do you know the black dates? They are so big, like big broad beans, and they are still green now.

, astringent, inedible, my sister-in-law said it will turn black when cooked."

"Cough." Shi Dayong was slightly stunned, coughed, and reminded him: "Ruimin, dad is back. Where have you been today? I didn't see you when I came back."

"I have nothing to do. I went out for a walk. Oh, dad is back." Ruimin then paid attention to Shi Youtian who was lying on the bed. "Dad, let me tell you..." Ruimin walked to the bed and wanted to talk to Shi Youtian.

Arita showed off what he had seen and heard in the past few days. He lowered his head and saw his father's sallow face, a haggard face that had lost weight. He swallowed the second half of his words and finally said what he needed to say: "Dad, you

How's it going? What did the doctor say?"

Sun Xiufang put the steamed egg custard on the cabinet and said: "The doctor prescribed new medicine and said it will be under control." Although there is still rabbit meat, it is several days old and is not too fresh.

Shi Youtian, a patient whose intestines and stomach couldn't bear it, didn't dare to give him anything to eat. Instead, he was given steamed egg custard.

The fourth child, when he was a child, did not devote all his efforts to medical treatment because of the family's financial difficulties, which resulted in the child becoming like this. Shi Youtian and his wife felt that they owed him. Usually at home, among the several children, except for the sixth child,

Rui Quan was the one who favored Rui Quan the most. Sometimes, Rui Min excused his poor eyesight and avoided work, so the couple let him go. Although both of them knew that Rui Min could not see his eyes except at night.

It's not a serious problem during the day. It's true that you can't see clearly from a distance, but the impact from a closer distance is not big at all.

This child had a very low self-esteem in his hometown. He was unwilling to communicate much with his brothers, let alone with relatives and neighbors, and even less willing to talk. Looking at Ruimin's state today, he seems to be more cheerful, and the gloom in his eyes is not so strong.

.

Shi Youtian was even more sure that his decision was correct. If this child stayed in his hometown any longer, he would be ruined.

"Fourth brother, help your father up. Mom will feed your father." Sun Xiufang scooped up a spoonful of custard, tested the coolness and heat on her lips, and signaled Ruimin to help.

"Hey." Ruimin put his hand on Shi Youtian's back, and with a little force, he lifted his father's upper body. Shi Dayong quickly pulled the quilt next to him and put it on his lower back. When his father sat firmly, Shi Dayong

Dayong took the bowl from his mother's hand and said, "Mom, fourth child, you go and eat, I'll just feed you."

It's not that Shi Youtian can't eat, but that he's so weak that he can't hold the bowl. The way he's trembling and squirting is really distressing. Also, every time he takes a mouthful of food, he has to rub his throat with his hands.

Xia Shun, Sun Xiufang and Shi Dayong looked too uncomfortable. They would rather feed him bit by bit than let him eat by himself, so that he could relax. Instead of taking a bite, put down the bowl, wait for a long time, and then pick it up again.
