Several people were startled and hurriedly crowded into the ward.
Xue Huan stood beside the instrument, frowned and whispered: "Uncle San is awake and very weak."
Xue Cong reminded again: "The third uncle seems to want to see you, and he is murmuring your names."
"Dad!" Xue Sheng and Xue Chang approached him from left to right, stared at him nervously, and shouted again: "Dad..."
Sanbo slowly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs moved slowly, as if he was looking for the person he was looking for.
"Dad, what do you want to say?" Xue Sheng asked anxiously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Father Xue on the side pushed him away and said: "Third brother, we are all here. Don't speak anxiously. If you can't say it, don't say it. Close your eyes and sleep. You need to rest now."
San Bo opened his mouth and finally made a sound after a long while.
"A Sheng... they want to sell... the courtyard house."
Father Xue had a sullen face and nodded heavily: "I already know everything. Don't worry, they won't let them sell the courtyard house randomly. I discussed it with Ling Ling and asked her to buy it for you to live in!"
Xue Zhilan also echoed: "Don't worry, that land was passed down from our ancestors. We can't let it go, and you certainly can't let it go. If Lingling buys it, it will still be our own place. You don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Sanbo quickly closed his mouth, seemed to relax, and then nodded his chin slightly.
Xue Cong whispered: "Uncle San agreed."
Just now, San Bo woke up in a daze and muttered "A Sheng A Chang". She thought he was looking for his two sons, so she hurried out to look for someone to come in.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle just wanted to tell the brothers next to him that his two sons wanted to sell the small courtyard.
Father Xue's eyes were red and he held the old man's hand tightly.
"I am several years older than Zhilan. I come from a good family, so I am lucky enough to enjoy some things. At that time, our family had a big house and a bank in the imperial capital. We used to have farms and small ranches on the outskirts of the city. Later, our family suffered a big disaster.
Difficult, the eldest and second brothers are dead, and only the third brother is left to stay in the imperial capital, allowing us to hide away. At that time, the mansion was closed, the farms and pastures were gone, and some of the rented shops were also confiscated. The third brother initially
I was homeless and looked for corners to spend the night. It was not until later that I discovered that our Xue family still had an abandoned small warehouse that had not been taken over. The third brother was very happy and repaired the small warehouse that was leaking from all sides and regarded it as one of his own.
Home."
"The third brother has medical skills, so he can eat and drink quickly without worrying about it. The small warehouse has gradually become better and better from being dilapidated at the beginning. The roof has been repaired, and finally there is no need to worry about rainy days. The windows have been replaced with new ones, and finally there is no need for air leakage all day long. It's done.
He made a small table, chairs, and a bed. He wrote to me and told me that we should pass on the things left by our ancestors. No matter the family tradition or the virtues of the ancestors, we should pass it on. He said
When he was in the most difficult time, his ancestors left him a place to live, and he was really satisfied."
"Later, the third brother bought a small hut behind the small warehouse and built a small courtyard. He began to use it as a small medical clinic to earn some medical fees, and his life became more and more stable. It was at that time that he saved money and married
The third sister-in-law gave birth to two children. The third brother later entered the People's Hospital as a doctor, and the unit arranged a dormitory for him. After a few years, he was also assigned a room, but the third brother always insisted on living in the small courtyard because it was his
It is also the starting point of his new life. For him, that small courtyard is of great significance."
"After my business started to stabilize, I wanted to buy a small house for my third brother. At that time, houses in the imperial capital were not expensive, but my third brother refused, saying that he did not lack the money to buy a house. He could not bear to part with the small courtyard house and wanted to live there.
Live there for a lifetime. He also said that it was left by our ancestors for our younger generations, and we should cherish it."
When Xue's father said this, he glared at Xue Sheng and Xue Chang.
"Your father is like this, why do you have the nerve to mention the sale of a small courtyard house in front of him?! Remember, that place is not a simple courtyard house, it is one of the ancestral properties of our Xue family! In addition to the renovation of the old house
Chengzu Temple, this is the only property left by our ancestors. How dare you sell your family’s ancestral property?! Ah?”
Brother Xue Sheng was ashamed and embarrassed, burying his head and not daring to look up.
The two daughters-in-law did not dare to speak and hid behind them.
Seeing the situation, Cheng Tianyuan felt a little embarrassed, so he had no choice but to hold his father-in-law's arm.
"Dad, you can't be angry. We have to discuss it carefully. Brother Sheng and the others are probably just impulsive. Your blood pressure is a bit high, but you must not get excited."
Dad Xue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You will do whatever Lingling has discussed with you. But from today on, you are not allowed to mention the sale of your house in front of the third brother."
"I know..." The two Xue Sheng brothers said nothing.
Father Xue felt very dizzy and sat down holding his head.
Cheng Tianyuan quickly helped him leave the ward and went to sit in the empty corridor outside.
After Xue Huan checked San Bo's blood pressure, he turned around and hurried out.
Xue Zhilan waved his hand and whispered: "Don't put too many people here. My nephew and wife should go back. Ah Cong, Lingling, it's getting late, so you should go back too. Don't worry, we are here."
"There's no rush." Xue Cong pulled Xue Ling to sit down and sighed: "San Bo is like this. I won't be able to sleep even if I go back. I want to stay with him for a while."
Xue Sheng and others filed out again.
After a while, the two cousins-in-law left.
Xue Ling half-closed the door and whispered: "Sister Cong, have you been busy lately?"
"There is always a time when you are not busy." Xue Cong gave a wry smile: "In order to live, you have to be busy."
Xue Ling asked: "Has your daughter graduated? I remember she has studied abroad for several years."
"Graduated." Xue Cong explained: "After graduating from the Ph.D., I stayed in a big law firm to work. She recently wanted to buy a big house, and her father and I helped her with a lot of money. When she grew up, she became very worried.
! She is thirty years old and she doesn’t want to get married yet. She said that buying a big house would be convenient for us to come and live with her later.”
Xue Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We can't catch up with the ideas of young people."
"I regret it." Xue Cong sighed: "She has been studying abroad for too many years, and many of her ideas are different from ours. She has a strong temper to begin with, and does not have the gentleness and tolerance of a little girl. This is enough for us.
I have a headache. The most terrible thing now is that she doesn’t want to fall in love or get married. Her father and I are still waiting to have a grandson in the future, but she doesn’t even want to find a man. We tried to persuade her, but unfortunately she was too self-centered to listen.
.”
I used to think that education abroad was good and I wanted my daughter to study there. My husband was busy outside and just said he didn't understand it and just let her make the decision.
So, she sent her daughter abroad and asked her to learn more, see more and have more adventures. Who knows, she studied too much and for too long, and completely forgot the traditional culture and concepts of her ancestors!
Xue Ling whispered: "Take your time. Thirty is still young, so don't be too anxious. Maybe when she sees that all her friends around her are married, she will gradually be tempted. Don't you and your brother-in-law accompany her?
, let her live in a big house alone and deserted, maybe she will change her mind soon."
"I hope so." Xue Cong shook his head helplessly: "Some people say that children and parents owe each other debts in previous lives. I think it makes sense."
Xue Ling looked at his third uncle on the hospital bed and couldn't help but sigh.
