Chapter 176 Return to Zhangjiashan [12,000 words completed
"Originally, my mother is in good health. A few days ago, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Mazi's house for a drink. It was Mazi's 40th birthday. My mother accepted the gift. She didn't drink much. People in the village said she drank less than two ounces of wine.
It’s not like you don’t know my mother’s drinking capacity. But when I came back, I accidentally fell down on the road. It happened to rain those two days and the road was slippery. The fall was not good. I slept at home for a day or two, but it still didn’t work.
When I came over, he was sent to the commune health center. The health center said that two ribs were broken. If the commune couldn't do anything about it, they transferred him to the county hospital. The doctor waited too long for the old man to recover.
It’s always been slow. I’ve been here for two or three days and it’s not getting better. Brother, why did you come back? I’m only over fifty, not even sixty yet!” Zhang Wanmei burst into tears as she spoke.
stand up.
Zhang Yunyang's family did not go home and rushed directly to the county hospital. Zhang Shanhai's grandmother Liu Xiulin had just fallen asleep, and Zhang Yicheng, who had been tired for several days, also fell asleep next to the hospital bed. Zhang Wanmei pulled Zhang Yunyang to a corner of the hospital and cried.
Got up.
"Sister Wan, don't worry, mother will be fine. Wait a minute, I'll ask the doctor to see what's going on." Zhang Yunyang quickly comforted his sister.
Zhang Wanmei nodded, "The Red Army has been taking care of both of us these days. We sent my mother to the county hospital and then went back."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yunyang said.
"Mom, why are you so hard?" Zhang Wanmei looked a little tired.
"Aunt." Zhang Shanhai walked forward and saw that his aunt, who was about the same age as my mother, looked at least ten years older than my mother. Her formerly plump face was now extremely thin.
"Mountains and seas. It's tiring to ride such a long car, isn't it? Later, you and your mother will go back first. You, a child, can't help here anyway." Zhang Wanmei looked at her only nephew very gently,
A slight smile appeared on his face.
"Auntie, don't worry, grandma will be fine." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Well, Shanhai, are you hungry? Auntie will take you to eat something. Brother, sister-in-law, you should go eat something too. This matter can't be rushed anyway." Zhang Wanmei said.
"Sister Wan, have you eaten? Let's go and have some." Zhang Yunyang asked.
Zhang Wanmei said, "Eat, eat, go and eat quickly!"
"I definitely haven't eaten. Let's go eat with my brother. Why haven't you eaten anything so late?" Zhang Yunyang asked.
Zhang Wanmei looked embarrassed. Zhang Yunyang knew his sister very well. "Are you out of money?"
Zhang Wanmei nodded, "With the money I brought, I didn't have much left after paying the medical expenses."
"You! I'm your brother, why are you so embarrassed to tell me? You have to tell your father about the money for hospitalization. I sent money home to my parents, but they must have been reluctant to spend it and saved it. I guess it's still
I am worried about leaving it to my grandson in the future!" Zhang Yunyang said helplessly.
"Sister Wan, I will use it at home from now on. Let me tell my sister-in-law. Your brother and I both work and get paid, so we are better off than you. You are the only sister in Yunyang, and you are the only brother." He Ni said
.
"Sister-in-law, I know!" Zhang Wanmei said.
"From now on, my sister-in-law will keep an eye on your job in the city. You can find something to do in the city. It will be easier than in the countryside." He Ni said.
"Forget it, it's too troublesome. I'm used to working in the countryside, so it's not hard at all." Zhang Wanmei said.
Zhang Yunyang took his family to eat something casually. When he went to the hospital, he specially brought two portions. He bought two aluminum rice boxes in the store and packed them back to the hospital.
When several people returned to the hospital, Liu Xiulin had already woken up and was extremely dissatisfied with notifying Zhang Yunyang to return.
"I told you that one day will come sooner or later when you are old. Why bother the children? Yunyang and Nizi are both public servants and have work to do! What will you do with work when you come back?
Yunyang is still the leader of the unit! If you as the leader run away, who will still be willing to work? When we were in the production team, the captain went to drink, and who of the members would be willing to go to work? This is the reason." Liu Xiulin seems to be in high spirits today.
It's gotten a lot better.
"Mom, if you don't tell us about such a big thing, how worried would we be! You said, how can we do a good job when it's such a big thing at home? Yunyang and I have both taken leave, and it's rare to come back this time.
It will take a few more days for one trip. When my mother's body recovers completely, I will take you two to the hospital together. You will live with us in the hospital in the future." He Ni said.
"Then I won't go. Living in this hospital these days is like going to jail. It's not comfortable at all. I can't sleep well at night. I told your father that you have to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. If you want to die, you have to die at home. In the village.
According to the rules, those who die outside cannot enter the ancestral graves." Liu Xiulin said.
"Mom, you can't say this. You will definitely live a long life. You are only sixty years old now. People in the city don't retire until they are sixty! You can't say this." He Ni said.
"Shan Hai. Come here and let grandma take a look at my good grandson. When I was wrestling that day, I thought to myself. It's too bad this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my good grandson. Shan Hai. He has grown so tall after a few years.
"Grandma, I really want to come and see my grandson. But the road is too far, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way." Liu Xiulin touched Zhang Shanhai's head with her hands, and her sunken eyes were filled with tears. Liu Xiulin trembled.
Then he took out a handkerchief with lines and patterns from his pocket and wiped it at the corner of his eyes several times.
"Grandma, you and grandpa come to live with us in SH! Dad and the others have to work overtime every year during the Chinese New Year. Mom doesn't have much time off either. They are worried about me coming back alone. If you go to SH city, we will also
I can take good care of you." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Silly boy. Grandma and grandpa can still support themselves, so why should I cause trouble to you? Besides, Sh City is too far away from Zhangjiashan. Grandma is afraid that she will die there and will not be able to find her way back in the future." Liu Xiulin laughed.
road.
Zhang Yicheng also said, "Mountains and seas, in the city, my grandparents are not used to living there, but Zhangjiashan is the real place to live. The folks in the countryside are used to being together every day, and they feel uncomfortable even if they go out for a day."
Liu Xiulin immediately said, "I have been lying in the hospital for a few days. I am afraid that I have spent a lot of money on my sister. I asked your father to go back to get the money, but your sister refused. Several children in her family are in school, and the eldest is more powerful than the mountains and seas."
I am not a few years younger and will soon be in high school. There is no place to make money at home. In the past two years, the fields have been divided and there is enough food to eat, but there is no place to make money. How much money can you make by sending grain?
The expenses are high and we have to take care of us. I really can't live here anymore. I haven't been feeling well these past two days and I have nightmares every day. I am an old person, so there is no need to drag down the young ones. It is better to go back.
Even if you die, you can still enter your ancestor's grave."
"Mom, what are you talking about? You said you are less than sixty, why are you so old? The sixty-year-old old lady in the city is still dancing yangko in the park! When you recover from your illness, I must take you to sh
Take a good look and see how nourishing other old people are in their lives." Zhang Yunyang turned his head as he spoke, and Zhang Shanhai seemed to see tears welling up in his father's eyes.
Zhang Shanhai secretly opened his spiritual eyes and took a look at his grandma, only to find that there was something cryptic on her face. It seemed that it was not as simple as a fall. No wonder the fall was so serious.
Zhang Shanhai calmly gave grandma a soul-suppressing technique to condense her soul. This would at least ensure that grandma's condition would not worsen in a short period of time, and her recovery from injuries would not be affected by damage to her soul.
Influence.
"Where did grandma fall?" Zhang Shanhai asked with concern.
"Oh, grandma is really worthless. For such a big person, she can't even walk without falling. That day I went to Mazi's house for a drink, and when I came back, I slipped and fell at Yinshi's tomb." Liu Xiulin said.
"Master Yin's Tomb?" Zhang Shanhai pondered in his heart. He didn't completely solve the problem of Master Yin's Tomb that day. He didn't expect that it would bring such trouble to grandma. Between the drink and the peck, there seemed to be a vague sense of helplessness.
Elusive traces.
"In the countryside, that's the problem. After a day or two of rain, the roads turn into mud and become extremely slippery. Now that I'm old, I just can't stand a fall. If I fall, I have to fall out of bed."
Zhang Yicheng said.
While they were talking, Zhang Jingxian and his wife came in from outside, carrying a net bag in their hands, which contained two bottles of cans and several boxes of tonics.
"Eh, Yunyang? Yunyang! Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years. When you become a cadre, your tone is different! Haha, when you become a leader, it's different. This is Shanhai, and the bad boys have grown up. I think back then
, they all ask me for money. Zhang Daneng is so stingy. You scolded him, but he can really give you money? Even if it were another person, and you scolded him, there would be no reason to give you money? This kid
He came to my house and said he wanted to share the money with me. Hahahahaha." Zhang Jingxian recognized Zhang Shanhai at a glance and revealed the embarrassing things about Zhang Shanhai back then.
Zhang Shanhai smiled and said, "I still remember the embarrassing things from back then!"
"You must remember this. Who doesn't remember Zhang Jiashan? As soon as I mentioned Zhang Shanhai, everyone said, oh, that guy has been a monster since he was a child. He looks about four or five years old and is not taller than a bucket. That guy jumped on the table.
, and started singing. I was so stunned that I had to deal with Zhang Daneng all night! Zhang Daneng was stunned in Zhangjiashan and couldn’t hold his head up. When others said it, they said, you are so stupid that you can only obey Zhang Shanhai. You kneel down to me, and you still can’t do it.
He doesn't kneel as much as he does." Anyone who is a Yin master can speak eloquently, and even the dead can talk about life.
Everyone in the ward listened with open ears to Zhang Jingxian's jokes. When they heard something funny, they laughed together.
Zhang Shanhai noticed a strange phenomenon before his eyes. Everyone laughed together, and the gloomy atmosphere in the ward dissipated a little. There is an old saying, a smile, ten years of life. It turns out that it really makes sense.
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law, Lu Yufeng, rolled her eyes at her husband, "I know it's nonsense. I don't know how to look at Yunyang Madam first."
Zhang Jingxian is several generations higher than Zhang Yicheng, but he is still a little younger. When he was a child, he followed Zhang Yicheng around. But in the countryside, even if he is a kid and his seniority is higher than yours, you should be called uncle.
You have to be called uncle, and those who should be called master must be called master.
The names of Zhang Jingxian’s mother-in-law, Lu Yufeng and Liu Xiulin, are a bit embarrassing.
"Sister-in-law, how is your health?" Zhang Jing asked first.
"Oh, this can't be done. It will mess up the seniority." Liu Xiulin said with a smile.
"It's not a mess, it's not a mess. It's not like you don't know about my relationship with Brother Yicheng. He's closer than my brother! When I was a kid, I followed him around every day. The Yicheng family and I are also relatives that cannot be matched by eight poles.
. It should be based on age. This is called stability. From now on, Yunyang will call me uncle, and Shanhai should call me grandpa. I don’t have any children, so it’s rare for someone to call me grandpa." Zhang Jingxian said.
Lu Yufeng felt a little sad after hearing this, and the smile on her face was a bit unbearable.
"You can't say that. You two old couple are very affectionate. Who in Zhangjiashan doesn't envy you? Just Yijingxian. From now on, Shanhai will also be your grandson." Zhang Yicheng said.
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Jingxian said, "By the way, it's not easy for people in the village to go out, so they asked me to buy some things. I think if I buy so many things, my sister-in-law won't be able to eat so much, and it will be wasted.
.I will keep the money here. This is something Yufeng and I share. Old sister-in-law, you can rest in peace and recuperate. Take good care of yourself as soon as possible. In the future, Yufeng will also have a place to chat." Zhang Jingxian said.
Zhang Jing first took out a red paper bag from his pocket and opened the red paper bag. Inside was a handful of pieces, a few cents and a few cents, which probably cost more than a hundred yuan, which was a lot of money in rural areas.
.
"Uncle, look, should I take this money back and return it to the villagers? Let me do it. After working for so many years, I have never gone back to Zhangjiashan to visit the villagers. The elderly in the family are sick, so I brought the money back." Zhang Yunyang hurriedly brought the money back.
declined.
"I know that you work in the city and get a national salary, so you are not short of this money, but this is the wish of the villagers. It is also our rule in Zhangjiashan. You have to take this money. If you don't take it, others will think you are a fool.
He has become a state cadre and looks down on us idiots." Zhang Jingxian said.
Seeing that Zhang Yunyang was a little embarrassed, Zhang Jingxian smiled and said, "When we uncle and nephew speak, they are all telling the truth. Even though the people in our village are poor, they are all very poor and ambitious. If I take the money back today, someone will run away from you tomorrow."
The family is worried about you."
He Ni also said, "Uncle is right. When my mother recovers from her illness, we will buy more things when we return to Zhangjiashan. When I came out that year, many people came to give them to me. I haven't thanked them yet."
Zhang Shanhai sat aside and watched everything, so familiar and warm. This was something he couldn't feel in City SH. Just hearing these words and deeds made him feel very comfortable and calm.
Sure enough, Liu Xiulin's body recovered very quickly in the next few days. Of course, Zhang Shanhai secretly used the exorcism technique to drive away the evil spirit from grandma. Every time he used it, the dark energy in Liu Xiulin's body decreased by one.
If you do it, your complexion will become rosy.
"That Yin Master's tomb must be dealt with, otherwise it will always be a disaster." Zhang Shanhai thought to himself.
Liu Xiulin's broken ribs also recovered relatively quickly. After a day or two, she was able to get out of bed and walk.
Why couldn't Liu Xiulin stay in the hospital any longer? "Yunyang, you went to complete the discharge procedures today. Living here makes me feel like I'm in prison. If you don't complete the discharge procedures for me tonight, I will
Just run back secretly."
"How can that be done? You haven't done this properly yet! You have to fully recover before you can go back. What if there are any sequelae?" Zhang Yunyang said.
"Tell the doctor whether you want to go or not. If not, I will go!" Liu Xiulin's attitude was very firm.
Fortunately, doctors believe that the recovery stage is no different between being in the hospital and at home. You may even feel better at home, and some recover better.
Zhang Shanhai and his family have been staying in the guest house these two days. When talking about returning to Zhangjiashan, the whole family can't calm down. (To be continued!~!
