Lao Qiang's mother did not become paralyzed in bed later. She had suffered from polio since she was a child and had never walked like a normal person. It was only when she was young and strong that she could walk a few steps with the help of crutches. That is,
During the years when she could barely walk, Lao Qiang's mother married Lao Qiang's father, a poor orphan in the family.
One year after getting married, Lao Qiang's mother gave birth to a pair of twin boys. People in the village said that Lao Qiang's family had found a treasure, giving birth to two sons at once. In that era of "it's better to have only one",
You can imagine how impactful this incident was. However, the good luck of Lao Lao's family ended here. Lao Qiang's mother used up all her capital to stand up because of giving birth to these twin boys.
From then on I was completely unable to get out of bed.
Lao Qiang's father is a honest and strong rural man with endless brute strength. He works hard in the fields day and night, helps other people's families, picks up rags in the city, and does odd jobs to earn money, and supports his two lovely children.
Son and his wife who was paralyzed in bed. He named his two sons Lao Qiang, the eldest, and Lao Zhuang, the second. He hoped that both of them would be as strong as him and have enough money to eat.
Some people say that the more you want something, the less you will get. Lao Qiang and Lao Zhuang’s father must have been hit by this saying. When their two lovely sons grew to be five years old, the neighbors gradually began to point fingers behind their backs.
Pointing. They said, you see, these two sons of Lao Lao's family don't seem to be normal. They are so thin and short that they can be blown over by a gust of wind. Did they inherit their mother's problems?
In fact, Lao Lao saw the clues earlier than they did. He took his two sons to all the hospitals in Gui'an City and did various examinations, but nothing was wrong. The doctors always
Tell him that there is nothing wrong with the child, but it may be due to lack of nutrition. After returning home, he will strengthen exercise and increase nutrition, and he will definitely get better.
Lao Lao began to work harder. He spent all the money he could spare to buy various supplements and nutritional products, and took them home for his two sons to eat. Things did not develop in the direction he expected.
When the two sons were ten years old, a bolt from the blue came to Lao Lao again.
It was the night of New Year's Eve. Lao Lao cooked a lot of delicious dishes, and the family happily ate New Year's Eve dinner together. Halfway through the meal, the youngest son Lao Zhuang shouted that he wanted to buy some for Lao Lao.
Fireworks. Lao Lao drank two glasses of wine and became excited. As soon as he put down the wine glasses, he took his two sons to the yard and took out the fireworks and cannons he bought from the city.
Bang - sun - bang, colorful bouquets bloomed in the dark night sky.
Lao Lao looked at this gorgeous scenery and listened to the noise of his sons beside him, and fell into incomparable intoxication. Ah! Life is so beautiful. In another ten years, when the sons grow up, they will all be given to them.
After marrying a wife and having several grandchildren, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life.
After all the fireworks and cannons exploded in the air and silence fell around him, Lao Lao looked back from the sky with great satisfaction. When he looked at the two sons surrounding him, he found that his younger son Lao Zhuang had fallen to the ground.
His limbs were twitching constantly, and streams of white foam came out of his mouth and nose.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Lao was sitting in the corridor of the emergency room of the hospital, holding Lao Zhuang who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Tears could not stop flowing from his eyes and falling on his youngest son's thin chest.
"Your son's disease is called epilepsy. At present, we have no way to eradicate this disease. We can only take some drugs to slow down the onset of the disease. You should be careful not to let your child catch cold, be frightened, or be exposed to strong light or loud noise.
It cannot withstand the stimulation of external force. If it attacks again later, don’t be too nervous. He will usually recover on his own after three to five minutes. Just be careful not to let his vomit block the trachea.”
The doctor's words were repeated in Lao Lao's ears over and over again. He could not accept such a cruel reality. There was already a wife who had been bedridden for many years, and now there was another epileptic patient who could have seizures at any time. Even that
The eldest son, who does not have epilepsy, also looks sick all day long.
Lao Lao sat in the corridor for a long time. When his youngest son Lao Zhuang woke up, he straightened his back and carried his son home. Everything was as usual. Lao Lao worked harder and he wanted to earn more.
I have a lot of money to treat my son's illness and buy nutritional supplements for my son.
In this way, Lao Lao worked desperately for another ten years. When his two sons were twenty years old, he could no longer hold on and resolutely passed away and went to heaven to find God.
The burden of life fell on the two sons. The eldest, Lao Qiang, was an honest boy. After burying his father, he resolutely pushed his father's tricycle and took to the streets to collect rags to earn money to support the family. The second brother Lao Qiang
Because he was sick since he was a child, he was the one who was taken care of by the whole family, and developed a bad habit of being lazy and glib. He refused to follow his brother to collect rags, and only wandered around all day eating and drinking.
Lao Qiang gradually accumulated some money through his own efforts, plus some money left by his father. After being introduced by neighbors, he married his wife Li Ping.
In the first few years after Li Ping entered the family, he was still virtuous and kind-hearted. He was considerate and gentle to the laborers, never abandoned his mother-in-law who was paralyzed in bed, and cared deeply about his sick brother-in-law. His daughter Xiaofang was born smoothly, and the family seemed to be like a family.
There is new hope.
The accident happened on a summer afternoon. That day, Lao Qiang collected a truck full of scraps in the morning. He happily took the entire truck home and prepared to do a few good things after unloading the truck.
Treat himself and his family to some vegetables. He parked the car in the yard, and because he was thirsty, he got out of the car and went straight to the house, ready to take a sip of the mung bean soup he had cooked in the morning on the table.
He opened the door and was about to get the mung bean soup on the table when he suddenly heard a wheezing sound coming from his brother's room in the east room. Lao Qiang thought it was his brother's epilepsy that had relapsed, so he quickly pushed away his brother's room.
When he looked in through the door, he saw his brother and his sister-in-law hugging each other naked.
The sky fell. The harmonious and warm family in the past lost its normal laughter. The younger brother Lao Zhuang did not feel the slightest guilt in front of his brother, and his wife Li Ping did not feel any sense of shame under Lao Zhuang's sweet words. They began
They went missing and didn't go home for several days, more than ten days or even a whole month. The little money they earned was stolen by them openly and secretly. When the family ran out of money, they would come back soon.
