Chapter 30: The Fourth Grandfather's Worries (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Rewards)
He already has high blood pressure, he is fat, he usually smokes and drinks, eats spicy food, eats fatty meat, and his body must be very weak.
In addition, the tiger was recently released from prison in autumn, and the weather was unusually hot, and he was directly exposed to the sun for a long time, so it is no wonder that he does not suffer from heat stroke.
Alas, I can only say that I am fortunate to have found it in time, otherwise, I am afraid that I will never see the fourth grandfather again.
Chen Yang found the basin and towel, filled it with some warm water, soaked the towel, and wiped the sweat on the fourth grandfather.
Although it is said that the fourth grandfather is not his own grandfather, from childhood to adulthood, the fourth grandfather treats him the same as his own grandson.
Whether it's a festival or a normal day, as long as he kills chickens and ducks at home, he will always leave a big chicken leg and a big duck leg for Chen Yang.
Sometimes Chen Yang didn't come home from his stay at school, so he would put the chicken and duck legs in the refrigerator and freeze them, and then take them out when Chen Yang came home on the weekend.
The fourth grandfather had four children. The eldest son did not agree with him, and he went to other places to become a son-in-law more than 20 years ago and never returned home.
The second daughter and the third daughter also married away from home and started their own families, and only came back once in several years.
The fourth daughter was angry, stayed at home to recruit a son-in-law, and gave birth to a lovely child like Jiajia.
It's just that the fourth daughter is the youngest after all, and she has no education, so her ability to make money is average, and she belongs to the middle level in the village.
But you must know that Baishi Village is a remote mountainous area, and if the ability to make money is at a medium level, it is basically just food and clothing, and it is still far from the well-off life called for by the party.
And the fourth grandfather is a strong person, and when he sees what others have, he must also have it. So, even though he is in his sixties, he still manages an orchard.
Although the orchard is not particularly large, it also has an annual income of 30,000 yuan or 40,000 yuan.
In addition to managing fruit trees, he also grows flue-cured tobacco. The annual income of flue-cured tobacco is about 5,000 yuan.
Coupled with the other income, it is not a problem to earn forty or fifty thousand yuan a year.
The problem is that as he gets older, the wrinkles on his face are increasing day by day, and his body is getting worse and worse while his bank card deposits are increasing.
In fact, old people like him are not uncommon in the village.
For example, the old man diagonally opposite Chen Yang's house is over 80 years old, his teeth have fallen out, his hair is white, and even the skin on his body has turned black everywhere, but he still works in the field under the scorching sun.
There is also a grandmother who lives alone at the end of the village, who is over 90 years old and has a hunched back, but she still grows peanuts, corn, and sweet potatoes......
Chen Yang thought of this, and then thought back to his grandparents, and felt very uncomfortable.
He always felt that he had to do something for the people of the village.
What should we do?
I couldn't think of anything to do for a while.
But he knew that he had to learn from Lu Wenxing and be an honest and helpful person.
Isn't it a pleasure to do what you can within your ability?
However, at the moment, he does not have much energy to think about these things, because he must now complete the basic task of the system first: earn 10,000 yuan in a month.
After he earns enough 10,000 yuan and gets the full bundle of the system, it will be much easier to think about how to help the villagers.
When the time comes, he has the system in hand, and it is estimated that everything will be simple.
When the fourth grandfather woke up, it was already afternoon.
He opened his eyes and saw himself lying in the hospital, and saw Chen Yang sitting on the side looking at his mobile phone, so he subconsciously asked, "Where is Xiao Qian?"
He only saw Chen Yang, not Xiao Qian.
Where did Xiao Qian go?
Chen Yang saw that the fourth grandfather was awake, and immediately called the doctor, and then answered his question: "Fourth grandfather, don't worry, Xiaoqian is at home, the fourth grandmother and Jiajia are taking care of him, don't worry." ”
The fourth grandfather breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with me, why am I in the hospital?"
The doctor walked in and said, "Uncle, you are so old and in such poor health, why don't you take care of yourself." If your grandson hadn't sent you in time today, your life would not have been saved. ”
"Huh?" The fourth grandfather has always felt that he is in good health, so the doctor's words he only regarded as the doctor trying to trick him into taking a few more bottles of potion to make more money.
He replied unceremoniously: "How is it possible? Don't lie to me, I'm in good health, and I picked up hundreds of catties of chicken manure to go to the field yesterday." ”
The doctor was helpless. He has seen a lot of this kind of old man, and he is obviously not in good health, but he always insists on saying that he is in good health.
He didn't care whether he cared or not, just told him according to the doctor's professional ethics: "Uncle, you think I lied to you, or lyed, that's your business, but I still want to remind you that the human body is not made of reinforced concrete, you have to rest when you should rest, don't brace all day long, it's not good for you." ”
The fourth grandfather snorted: "I don't need you to say it, I understand all these truths." ”
The doctor still had to say, "I have to say a few more words, you have to quit drinking." You must also quit smoking, and you can't eat anything spicy and greasy, otherwise, your body will collapse sooner or later. ”
The fourth grandfather was farting when he was a doctor, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
After the doctor left, he said to Chen Yang: "These people are all nonsense, my own body, don't I understand it myself?"
Chen Yang was also helpless: "Fourth grandfather, we still have to listen to the doctor's words, don't drink alcohol, it's easy to hurt the liver, don't smoke cigarettes, Jiajia is still so young, it's not good to smoke your second-hand smoke all day long." ”
"You said that I can understand this quitting smoking, I don't even drink alcohol, so what's the point of living?" said the fourth grandfather.
Chen Yang pretended to be serious, stared at the fourth grandfather and said without blinking: "Fourth grandfather, if you don't listen to the doctor, then I won't dare to go to your house in the future, lest I encounter today's situation again, see you fall to the ground, I have to throw Xiao Qian on the ground, and then go to hug you, if the fourth grandmother is not at home, then what do you say I should do? Do you throw Xiao Qian and carry you out, or do you stand aside with Xiao Qian and watch you in a hurry?"
The fourth grandfather asked, "When you went to my house today to find me, was your fourth grandmother not at home?"
"Of course not. Chen Yang said 'aggrieved', "I was going crazy at that time, you said that there was no one in your family, and there was no one else living next to you, if it wasn't for my dog to go out and get the fourth grandmother back, you wouldn't be lying here." ”
After listening to Chen Yang's words, the fourth grandfather had palpitations.
If Xiaoyang hadn't found him, maybe he would have died in his yard.
He was not afraid of dying, but he just thought that if he really died, then the orchard would be left unmanaged. After the orchard was not managed, the family had to lose tens of thousands of yuan of income every year.
In this way, the burden on the shoulders of the fourth husband and wife is much heavier.
Jiajia is still young, she can't help much, and her wife is useless, except for taking care of children, she can't do anything.
Once he leaves, it will be equivalent to the fall of the pillars of the family, and they don't know what their lives will be like in the future.
Now the country's economy is developing rapidly, and the living standards of the people in the village are also improving rapidly, but if they do not progress, they will soon be left far behind.
At the same time, Chen Yang's matter also made him worried.
Chen Yang's wife just ran away, and now everyone in the village is waiting to see his jokes. Although he now has a pickup truck, the people in the village say that he 'sold' his wife to buy it.
Therefore, when the fruits in the orchard are sold this year, he has to find a way to help Chen Yang find a wife first. Xiaoqian is still young, and he can't do it without a mother. At present, the bride price in rural areas has risen, from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Although he doesn't have much money, he can still get tens of thousands of yuan after planting fruit trees for so many years.
