Before leaving, I bought some things for my father and mother in the county town, and a pair of shiny leather shoes for my father. The more fashionable ones, the toe is still pointed, which is called "spin-swinging leather shoes" in our country dialect. I bought my mother a trench coat for autumn, which is also the latest style. I saw many girls on the street wearing such windbreakers. When I walked around, the windbreaker would fly up and flutter in the wind, which felt very fashionable.

It was already dusk when I returned to Shuiwa Village with big bags.

When I walked to the door of the yard, I felt that the room was quiet and the smell of Chinese herbal medicine was filled with the boss.

I frowned. Why is there a big smell of medicine? Is anyone at home sick?

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!" I pushed open the yard door and walked in at the top of my throat.

I put down my things and walked towards the kitchen as I smelled the smell. My mother heard my voice and walked out of the kitchen quickly. She was holding a Chinese medicine jar in her hand. The bottom of the jar was black and hot steam was coming out.

"Jiu Lizi, are you back?" My mother looked very happy when she saw me, but her smile just flashed and could not hide the haggardness on her face.

"Are you cooking herbs?" I looked at the jar in my mother's hand.

The mother nodded, put the medicine jar outside, and waited for the medicine to cool down.

"What's wrong? Who is sick at home?" I quickly asked my mother. I saw that she was not in good looks and thought she was just boiling some Chinese herbal medicine to regulate her body.

My mother sighed and pointed to the inner room: "Your father... is sick..."

ah?!

I was slightly shocked, my dad is sick?!

In my impression, my father is very strong and has not even caught a cold for a year. Why did he suddenly get sick?

"What disease? Is it serious?" I originally thought that there might be no disease, and it would be cured if I took a few pairs of Chinese medicine, but when I looked at my mother's expression, something seemed to be wrong.

My mother bit her lip, and her eyes turned red and she couldn't help crying.

When my mother cried, I was immediately confused. I immediately realized that my father was suffering from an ordinary minor illness this time, and if he didn't do it well, his life would be in danger. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't be so sad. When my mother mentioned her father's illness, she immediately cried. This was a big deal!

"Mom, don't cry for now! Tell me, how are you doing? What disease do you have?" I tried my best to calm myself down, comforting my mother on the surface, but in fact, my heart was trembling wildly, and words like cancer were quickly passing through my mind.

My mother wiped her tears: "I don't know what the disease is!"

"Ah?!" I was slightly stunned: "I don't know what the disease is? Have you never been to the hospital for a visit?"

My mother said, "I've seen it! I've seen it with an old Chinese doctor, I've seen it in the town's health center, and even went to a large hospital in the city to check it. Is it strange? Your father has such a strong bone on weekdays, so why did he suddenly suffer from a strange disease? Alas! There's nothing to do now, only Chinese herbal medicines prepared by the old Chinese doctor are next to each other!"

I opened my mouth, but I didn’t expect my father to be so ill. At the same time, I felt a deep sense of guilt in my heart. As a child, I didn’t even know that my father was sick. I was really incompetent!

"Where is Dad?" I asked anxiously.

My mother said, "In the bedroom!"

"I'll go in and see him!" I turned around and was about to walk into the bedroom. My mother called me and asked me to bring a bowl of medicine in.

I walked into the bedroom with a bowl of medicine.

The lights were not turned on in the bedroom, and the sunset slowly crawled on the wooden windows, and the potted plants on the windows began to turn yellow, just like a life that was about to wither, making people feel infinite melancholy.

My father was lying on the bed, covering a quilt, his eyes closed.

I came to the bed with the medicine and called softly: "Dad! Dad! Wake up!"

Hearing my voice, my father stretched out his eyes with difficulty and said weakly: "Jiujizi? Is it you? Are you back?"

"It's me! I'm back! Dad, you...what are you?" I saw that my father's face looked very bad, and a layer of thick black air was covered with a face, like a sign of death.

The corner of my father's mouth touched slightly and sighed: "It's okay! It's normal for birth, old age, sickness and death, so don't be sad!"

How could it not be sad?

Chen Xiucai just left, is his father going to leave again?

No no no! God, what did I, Xiao Jiu, do you do wrong? Do you want to treat me so cruelly?

My heart twitched violently, but I didn't want to affect my father's mood, so I pretended to be smiling, helped my father up, and sat down on the head of the bed: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense? Your body is good and you will definitely live a hundred years old!"

The father shook his head: "I don't expect to live a hundred years old. How long do I have to do? I know the best! What I regret most in my life is that I haven't seen you get married..."

My father had no desire to survive in his tone. It seemed that this illness had tormented him for a long time.

I picked up the medicine bowl, blew the medicine residue on the noodles, and fed the medicine to my father to drink.

"Dad, where are you feeling uncomfortable?" I sat down beside the bed.

Dad put down the medicine bowl and lifted the quilt: "You can see it yourself!"

The moment my father lifted the quilt, I was stunned. My father's belly was swollen like a ball, almost torn, round, similar to his belly when he was pregnant for ten months, and there was a circle of black gas near his navel.

I reached out and pressed my dad's belly, which was very hard.

This...what is going on?

How could my dad get such a strange disease?

The father smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I look like a woman in Huai'er now? Haha! Haha!"

I knew my father was afraid that I would be sad, so he deliberately said some relaxed topics to make me happy, but the more he did this, the less uncomfortable I felt in my heart.

"When did I get sick?" I asked.

"It's been several days, maybe it's like a week!" said the father.

"What have you eaten before? Or did you do something?" I frowned. My dad's disease is obviously not an ordinary disease. If Chen Xiucai is still there, he should be able to find out the truth.

"I eat the same food as usual. What have I made? No, right? Isn't this busy farming period? I'm spending time with your mother in the fields every day!" said the father.

"Then go to the hospital for examination. What does the hospital say? Is there no result?" I asked.

My father said: "The hospital initially suspected that it was a tumor, but after the photos, I found no problems. I stayed in the hospital for two days and saw no improvement. I realized that the hospitalization fee in the city hospital was too expensive, so I was discharged from the hospital and went home and found the old Chinese doctor in the town to prepare some herbs!"

I touched my chin. This matter was really strange. What disease did my father suffer from? Even the hospital could not find the result?

"Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier if something happened? "I felt very guilty when I saw my father's haggard look.

Dad smiled and said, "I know you are doing things outside, you have your own job, I can't distract you!"

"Dad..." My throat was a little choked. Fortunately, the light in the room was not bright, so my dad couldn't see my already red eyes.

I served my father and lie down, comforted him and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure your illness!"

Dad nodded, saying nothing.

I told my father to take a break early, and thought in my heart, and observe for another two days. If my father's condition still has not improved, I will ask Ku Junwei to come and have a look. He is knowledgeable and should have the opportunity to cure his father.

Although I have never seen this disease, from the perspective of the disease, it may not be an ordinary disease. Since it is not an ordinary disease, it may be a knot such as evil. This is exactly Ku Junwei's specialty.

When I walked to the door of the bedroom, my father suddenly called me: "By the way, Jiujizi, I forgot to tell you something!"

"What's the matter?" I stopped.

Dad said, "I called a few people and repaired the house in three days!"

Renovate the house?

I was stunned and said, "Don't be so anxious, are you still sick now. You can cure your illness first and talk about repairing the house later. Don't rush this moment!"

"No!" The father shook his head: "After autumn and winter are coming, we have to repair the house before the New Year! And the most important thing is that during this busy farming period, some workers who repair houses finally came back from the city. After this time, they returned to the city to work, so it was not easy to hire people at that time! Besides, I had already called people and paid the deposit, and I entered the venue in three days!"

I sighed: "Since you have already paid the deposit, you can't change the time. OK, it's three days later!"

The father said, "Jiujizi, you won't blame your father, you just earned tens of thousands of yuan. Originally, my father was thinking about using it for you to marry a wife, but before getting married, you have to have a good house. After thinking about it, it would be better to repair the house first. I have mentioned the matter of repairing the house for a long time!"

I smiled and said, "Dad, look at what you said, isn't I just making money just to build a house? Why did I get married again? How old is I? Are you thinking about my wife? No need! No need! It's still early! I will earn money from marrying a wife in the future. In addition, I have earned a lot of money this time, so it's enough to get married!"

The father smiled and shook his head: "That's good. After hearing what you said, Dad will feel relieved! I think we were like you at that time, we had a lot of people who were dads at that time!"

"Okay, dad, the ages are different. Don't the country advocate late marriage and late childbirth? You should rest early, I won't disturb you!" I gently closed the door and walked out of the bedroom.

When I returned to the living room, my mother had prepared dinner for me. The supper was very rich and I set up a table.

Looking at the table full of good wine and food, I couldn't get enough of it. When I thought of my father's strange disease, I felt very uncomfortable.

My mother asked me to eat slowly, and she went into the house to take care of my father.
