After the first day of junior high school, Chen Shi took Li Yalian and his sister to his grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, his grandmother and grandfather lived in his uncle's house, and the two old people were old and not very convenient to move. However, although the two old men have difficulty moving, their thinking is still very clear, they are not confused, they can still chat, and they can recognize their grandson and grandson.

Chen Shi listened carefully to the teachings of the second elder in front of his grandmother and grandfather, and listened to the gossip they had in the little time they had left, usually the uncles were very busy, so they didn't have so much time to listen to their second elders.

Chen Shi asked his grandparents, "Are you okay with your second elder?"

Grandma smiled and said: "It's all here, people who are about to enter the ground, even if there is some pain, we can't feel it, now we will hang on to it, and when this breath is gone, it will be dead." ”

Chen Shi felt a pain in his heart, the conditions at his uncle's house were not very good, and the same was true of his aunt's house, so his grandparents were not treated when they were sick, they fell asleep with minor illnesses and fell asleep with major illnesses, and it was good to sleep for a few years, and if they couldn't get better, they would wait to die.

Now, can the second elder's illness still be cured? He doesn't know. He asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, what is your second elder's illness?" Why don't we go to the hospital and ask the doctor to check it, maybe just take some medicine." ”

Grandpa shook his head and said: "The doctor has seen a lot, none of them can tell what the problem is, and I have taken a lot of medicine, but it has not improved, I am so old, it is a waste of money to see it, and I can't live for a few years." ”

My grandparents are 70 years old this year, and in the countryside, this age can be said to be a long life, but Chen Shi knows that if it is in the city, this age is only the average life expectancy, and the real longevity is a person who lives to be more than 100 years old.

Rural medical treatment is like this, especially now, there is no so-called medical insurance, and there are not such good medical conditions, that is, to open a knife, then you must also go to the city, the conditions of the county do not necessarily have this ability, but to go to the city, the fare alone will cost hundreds, living expenses will also be hundreds, and there are expensive medical expenses that make any farmer feel suffocated, not to mention, therefore, the elderly in rural areas never go to the hospital to see a doctor, at most they prescribe some medicine. If they are lucky, they may meet a local doctor with good medical skills, or maybe fate will favor them, so let them be healthy and live peacefully until they are seven or eight years old, and then if there is a major illness or a minor illness, they will not survive the winter.

In the countryside, there are many funerals in winter, and many old people choose to leave this world in the cold winter wax moon, just like nature's choice, life is like that with the winter to grow old, a can't sleep.

Chen Shi knew that the conditions in his uncle's family were not very good, so he asked his uncle: "Can my grandfather and grandmother's illness be cured? Does the doctor who saw the doctor have an explanation? I think it is better to send it to the hospital for examination, if the hospital has no way, then come back and raise it; if the doctor has a way, then no matter how big the price is, the second elder cannot be allowed to suffer and wait for death." ”

Uncle sighed and said: "It's not that I haven't been to the hospital, I went ten years ago, but the doctor said that there was no way with the medical level at that time, and it is estimated that it is useless now. ”

Chen Shi understood what his uncle meant, and at most the two old men would pass away. No one would be surprised that an elderly person of his age like his grandparents died suddenly, because under such medical conditions, a sudden illness can kill someone. Grandpa and grandmother have been boiling for more than ten years, and their fate is very hard, but the uncles see it in their eyes, of course, they feel uncomfortable, if they leave at this time, they will have a sense of relief in their hearts, which is not to say that they are not filial, but they can't bear to watch the old man suffer in the world.

Chen Shi decided: "Uncle, I think after a while, let my grandfather and grandmother go to the hospital for another examination, I will pay all the expenses, no matter what the doctor says, whether to be hospitalized for surgery or there is no way to treat it, everything is subject to the doctor, do you think this will work?"

The uncle didn't know the news that he had made a fortune and made money, so his face changed: "How can this work? If you want to go to the doctor, I will also pay for it, how can it be your turn as a junior?"

Chen Shi knew that his uncle couldn't let go, so he said: "I'll do it on behalf of my mother, right?" Uncle, this matter is decided, but you have to find a time, when the time comes, I will contact the hospital, call you, you just send your grandfather and grandmother to the city, you don't have to worry about anything, just free up a period of free time." ”

It is not difficult for a peasant to spare a period of time, although there is more farm work, but some work can wait, but this person's life does not necessarily wait. When the uncle heard Chen Shi's words, he only nodded and acquiesced.

Subsequently, Chen Shi told his uncle some things about himself, of course, he also inadvertently revealed a little news, telling his uncle that he was not short of money now, so that he should not worry, and even hinted to his uncle in his words that if he wanted, he could follow him and promise to give him a good future.

My uncle is a farmer, he never knows what the outside world is like, so he naturally doesn't have so many thoughts, he just wants to farm at home with peace of mind, and he has a lot of land at home, and he can't be hungry.

chatted at his uncle's house for a while, and Chen Shi took Li Yalian to his uncle's house again. The eldest uncle is more than ten years older than the younger uncle, there is a cousin in the family who has been married a long time ago, a cousin has been farming at home after graduating from junior high school, and is preparing to go out to work recently, after Chen Shi came, he listened to his thoughts, and immediately wanted to take his cousin with him, after all, he is worthy of trust, with a cousin by his side, he doesn't have to be so mysterious when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't have to worry about the betrayal of others.

My cousin's name is Wang Sheng, who is only two years older than Chen Shi, and is only twenty-one this year. After Chen Shi said his thoughts, his cousin was a little moved, but he didn't know how big Chen Shi's business was, and he hesitated, Chen Shi said: "Cousin, how much salary do you want a month?

The cousin laughed and said, "I want a thousand yuan a month, can you afford it?"

Chen Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's it, one thousand a month, and I will eat and live in the bag, I will definitely not treat my cousin badly, you just need to follow me, and I will definitely let you eat and drink spicy food." ”

At this time, his cousin Wang Sheng was a little stunned, he thought that Chen Shi was just doing a small business, and it was impossible to open a salary of 1,000 yuan, so he deliberately said that it was so high, just to give the other party a step down, but now he found that he was standing on this step, and he couldn't jump down yet.

Puzzled, he asked, "Your business is doing a lot? ”

It's only two thousand and one years now, and many of the primary school teachers in this ravine are substitute teachers, with a few hundred yuan a month, and there is no formal establishment, but this is also a very sought-after profession.

Chen Shi said: "Cousin, don't worry, a thousand yuan is just a small amount, after you understand my business, don't dislike a thousand is too little, I'm afraid that you will say that I am stingy at that time." ”

The cousin hurriedly said no, since the words were all said and done, he had to obey his cousin's wishes. However, if you want him to work for his cousin, he hasn't eased up for a while, and of course he won't treat his cousin as a boss, but as a relative.

This matter was settled, Chen Shi asked about his cousin's feelings again, and he said: "My cousin is not too young, is there anything pleasing to the eye in the village?" If so, take her out with you, I will give the same salary, and I will help you chase her down, how about it?"

My cousin's face turned red, and he resignedly said, "No." ”

Chen Shi laughed, patted his cousin on the shoulder and said: "I'll introduce you to the city to introduce one, you are satisfied, and the appearance will definitely not be bad, more beautiful than the little girls in ten miles and eight towns, you take her back to the scenery once, and show off in front of the villagers." ”

The cousin lowered his head and did not respond, and Chen Shi smiled even more happily.

The relationship between the uncle is not complicated, two uncles, a cousin is married, a cousin, the children of the uncle's family are still young, and now they are only in elementary school, the oldest is only in the third grade, of course Chen Shi can't talk to them, but her sister Chen Ying is like a big sister in the underworld, taking them up and down, scurrying around is not lively.

There are too many cousins and cousins in my aunt's house, four aunts, each aunt's family has several cousins or cousins, and Chen Shi's impression of my aunt's house is not so deep, because the distance is relatively far, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, I can't walk for a day, I have to take a car to go to their house, and there are too few vehicles in the countryside, so there is little contact, except for major things, there is almost no communication.

This also led to a somewhat rusty relationship with my aunt's family. Even, Chen Shi is not familiar with his aunt's cousin and cousin, even if he sees it outside, he can't recognize it, if no one introduces him, even if he stands in front of him, he doesn't know people's names.

Chen Shi secretly decided that after a while, he must walk around with his aunt's house, first, to keep in touch with the relationship, and secondly, to find a few helpers.
