The three of them are kind-hearted people. When the old man said that his foot was injured, they quickly helped him take off his shoes and socks.
I saw that the old man's ankle was extremely swollen, and I could tell at a glance that the injury was serious.
It was very warm in the car. Although the old man looked very old, his body seemed to be very strong and he recovered quickly.
Cheng Tianyuan poured another glass of warm water for the old man and said: "Don't worry, we have a car. We can take you home first. When it gets up tomorrow, your family will help you find a doctor to look at you. There should be no broken bones."
.”
"The bones should be fine, but such a severe sprain will probably take more than a month to heal." Ahu clicked his tongue twice.
Chen Min looked at his watch and said: "It's almost half past three, we can't delay for too long. The bride will probably be impatient after a while."
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Are you... going to get married?"
"That's right!" Ahu smiled and patted Chen Min on the shoulder, explaining: "My cousin is getting married tomorrow, and tonight we will go to Hejiacun ahead to pick up the bride."
The old man blinked and asked: "Um... um... are you from Rongcheng? Your surname is Chen?"
"Yes." Chen Min asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
The old man chuckled and said, "What a fate! I...I am Cuiliu's grandfather."
Oh! I didn’t expect it to be someone from my own family!
Chen Min was very nervous and held the old man's hand.
"Are you Cuiliu's grandfather? She often talks about you to me! She said that her grandfather and grandmother raised her when she was a child, and she is very close to you."
"Yes..." the old man explained: "Later, my youngest son went to the county town to do business, and my wife and I went there to help him. My wife was ill, so I helped with the business and didn't go back until the evening. I thought Cuiliu was going to get married tonight.
, I had to come to see her get married anyway, so I walked here alone. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of snow on the road, and I accidentally fell."
"Oh! You're lucky to have met us!" Ahu exclaimed: "Look at the heavy snow outside, it won't stop for a while. If it gets to dawn, it will probably be...that!"
The old man smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, fortunately!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "You are lucky to be able to meet your grandson-in-law and be rescued by him."
The old man smiled lovingly and said tiredly: "Then let's go! Do you know the road? Come quickly and greet the bride, time waits for no one."
So, the two jeeps hit the road again.
Five minutes later, they arrived at the door of Cuiliu's house.
There are two small mud houses, and lights are turned on at the door, making the door brightly lit.
After the car arrived, more than a dozen people suddenly came out of the small mud house, all of them with bright faces, smiling and looking at the two identical jeeps.
"People in the city are different! They all use cars to get married!"
"No way! Many city people at most use bicycles to pick up people! Mr. Cuiliu is rich, so what kind of store does he have to sell things?"
"Oh! This car looks really big, like a big machine!"
"Sister! I want to take a car too! I've never been in a car like this!"
"Don't come here! It's the same as an ox cart, except it's covered with a canopy, so it's faster!"
Cuiliu's father-in-law came out quickly and came to greet him with a smile.
Chen Min got out first and opened the car door.
"Um...Dad! We met grandpa on the way and picked him up in the car."
Ahu also got out of the car and helped the old man get down with a smile.
"Oh my god! Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Ankle!"
"What?! What way are you walking in the middle of the night?! Can't you ask my brother to take you back tomorrow? Is it serious? How is it?"
As a result, the welcoming atmosphere was quickly replaced by a tense atmosphere, the groom's attention was diverted, and the grandfather became the focus of the family.
Ten minutes later, the old man was lying on the kang, and his son applied it to his feet and brought some medicinal wine to rub them.
Cuiliu was wearing a bright red skirt and a thick red cotton-padded jacket, with big purple flowers and blush on her face.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
The old man smiled and nodded, "It's okay. Liu'er, the bride can't cry... you are so beautiful today! Grandpa, I just wanted to see you get married, so I rushed over in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I met my uncle, otherwise I might have
Frozen. My uncle and his friends seem to be good and good people at first sight."
Cuiliu's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled when she heard this.
"He...he's pretty good."
The old man chuckled lovingly: "That's good, I will live a good life with you in the future. If you are a good person and have a good heart, your life will definitely be good in the future. Grandpa, I have lived for most of my life and have seen everyone. My uncle looks very honest.
Honestly, as long as he lives a diligent life and treats you well, grandpa will be relieved."
"Well!" Cuiliu suddenly burst into tears again and whispered: "Grandpa, I will come back to see you often. Grandpa, if you have time, go to Rongcheng to see me... The store in the development zone by the river is great.
admit!"
"Hey! Okay!" the old man asked his son: "Is everything done? Is it almost time?"
"Everything is fine! It's still half an hour before we can go out, please take a moment."
The old man nodded.
Cuiliu couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Grandpa, grandma, why is she sick again? Is she okay?"
"The bones of an old man's body are like tattered clothes. They have to be mended every day or they can't be worn anymore." Grandpa He smiled: "When people are young, they are like brand-new clothes, beautiful and durable. In middle age,
The clothes started to get old, unsightly, and not as strong as before. By this time, we had to sew and mend them every day because they were too torn."
The son on the side disagreed and whispered: "My mother can't do it, but you are still working hard! You help my brother look after the store, which is better than two workers."
Grandpa He didn't know what he thought of, closed his eyes and sighed.
"I can stand up to two workers, but your sister-in-law just can't stand me and your mother. Yesterday, she even disliked me and your mother in person for eating too much rice from her house."
"Then you come back!" Dad He got angry and said harshly: "You can eat whatever we eat. My mother-in-law doesn't dare to talk nonsense. If she dares to talk nonsense, I will slap her!"
Grandpa He smiled bitterly: "My foot is so injured that it will probably be cured after the Chinese New Year. Now I really have to live with you."
Cuiliu said quickly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? This is your home, and it is natural for you to live here."
At this time, Chen Min walked in with a shy smile on his honest face.
"Um... Cuiliu, there are more than a dozen red envelopes here. You can give one to each of your brothers and sisters."
Dad He chuckled and said, "I'll just go, I'll go!"
Chen Min took out a big red envelope from the inner pocket of his leather jacket and stepped forward to hold the old man's hand.
"Grandpa, this is my tribute to you."
"No no..." Grandpa He wanted to refuse.
Chen Min quickly shook his head and whispered: "You and grandma have worked hard to raise Cuiliu. The snow is so heavy tonight, and you walked back to see Cuiliu get married. It shows that you really care about her granddaughter. Cuiliu and I should be filial to you.
, just accept it."
Cuiliu was shy and very happy in her heart.
I thought that Chen Min was a simple and honest person, and didn't know much about the ways of the world.
But he was so generous tonight, smoking and drinking, and giving so many red envelopes, even to grandpa.
Grandpa is recuperating from his injuries and has no way to make money. If he can have some money to buy medicine and food, the old man can rest assured to recuperate.
She was so happy when Chen Min did this.
Grandpa He touched the thick red envelope and couldn't help but whisper: "It's too much...Liu'er, just take half of it."
"No." Cuiliu stuffed the red envelope under the old man's pillow and said, "You can't accept half of the red envelope for a good life."
