Chapter 5: A Sudden Accident

As the eldest grandson of the family, Wang Linlin was naturally favored by the old lady. He was bright and lively in his childhood, loved by the adults around him, and was also the king of children among his peers; he was well-behaved and willing to learn when he was a teenager, and successfully entered the Gucheng Middle School with an inexplicable motivation and pride.

One morning in the early spring of 1985, the teachers and students of the second (first) class of Gucheng Middle School were nervously attending class. Suddenly, a young man covered in sweat burst into the classroom. He kept looking and shouted continuously: "Wang Linlin, it's not good, Wang Linlin, your dad was in a car accident!"

Everything came suddenly, and the teachers and students in the classroom were stunned. Everyone thought that the person who came was a madman, but after listening to each other's words, the whole classroom suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other sympathetically, and naturally turned to Wang Linlin's seat.

The person who came was Wang Linlin's cousin Wang Zhong, who was entrusted by his aunt Liu Ying to report the news. Listening to his cousin's words, Wang Linlin's brain "buzzed" and instantly became empty. Scattered, he sat motionless at his desk. The teacher on duty began to call him, and the classmates on the side reached out to pull him...... Wang Zhong was still more neat, and just dragged him, and the two of them stumbled out of the classroom.

On the way to the county hospital, Wang Forest looked extremely anxious. He really wanted to get some information from his cousin, however, Wang Zhong shook his head and replied breathlessly: "I just came to pick you up according to my aunt's instructions, and I don't know the specific situation." But I heard that ——, situation seems to be a bit serious......" After that, the two did not speak again, but ran all the way.

Wang Forest along the way was very much like a puppet, just running quickly behind Wang Zhong. At the same time, he felt as if his sky had collapsed!

When I arrived at the emergency hall of the county hospital, it was packed. There were those who shouted, those who ran around, and those who wept...... Some of the patient's family members who were watching were also discussing on the sidelines: "Alas, the car accident in the morning was really miserable. Four or five came at once, all seriously injured, and one of them was out of breath on the spot......

Seeing the chaotic scene and listening to everyone's words, Wang Linlin's heart tightened, his chest swelled violently, and there was a hot current in his eyes that urgently needed to gush out...... Previously, his mind was empty and numb, and he hardly felt anything specific, just kept popping up a lot of "?". But now, the atmosphere of the hospital made him extremely panicked and scared!

Wang Linlin and his cousin eagerly inquired and searched. Finally, in a hospital room on the second floor, he met his father. I saw my father lying on the hospital bed, his head and body were bandaged with blood-soaked gauze in many places, and the saline bottle that was being infused hung at the head of the bed......

It's good that my father is still alive! Wang Linlin was full of joy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what to say. He just walked quickly to his father and called softly, "Dad-"

Seeing his son, Wang Yongqian's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement, and there was an infinite gentle light! At the same time, he asked his son softly, "Are you here?"

"Hmm. Wang Linlin nodded lightly in reply, but his eyes kept scanning his father's body.

"It's okay child, don't be afraid!" Feeling his son's concern and worry, Wang Yongqian's heart was warm and sour. So, he deliberately comforted.

Wang Linlin understood his father's thoughts and nodded sensibly.

But then, my father said sadly, "It's a pity that this time your Uncle Hu Deman is gone. He shouldn't have gone, and it would have been nice if I could have left him behind and let me go!"

After listening to his father's introduction, Wang Linlin knew that Uncle Deman was gone. Uncle Deman really shouldn't go, but neither can his own father!

Hu Deman was a sturdy man with a simple and kind temperament, and was a well-known industrious local farmer. His lover was not in good health and had been unable to work in the field for many years. In addition, he has four children at home - the eldest Hu Yuhu and the second Hu Yanling have long since dropped out of school and are taking care of farm work and housework at home, and the third and fourth Hu Ge and Hu Yaling are in primary school.

Hu Deman was a good farmer during his lifetime, and his head was flexible. At that time, the state encouraged the development of the individual economy, so he occasionally did some timber business. Even so, the family can be fed and clothed. Now that he has left unexpectedly, how should this family live......

Wang Yongqian was a demobilized soldier and is now the chairman of the labor union of the county auto parts factory. He has a straightforward and bold temperament, and is nicknamed "King Cannon". He had a very good relationship with Hu Deman, and always regarded him as a man worthy of respect, and that his family's difficult situation should also be taken care of.

The night before the accident, Uncle Hu knew that his father had come home and came to the gathering. It turned out that he had met an old comrade-in-arms of his father during the day, and learned that the other party's unit was in need of a batch of timber, so he begged his father to help talk about it so that he could facilitate the sale. When my father heard this, he readily agreed, and the two of them agreed to set off together the next morning.

The county seat is more than 10 kilometers away from his hometown. Among them, there is about a five-mile road from my hometown to the national highway. Wang Yongqian usually rode a bicycle to and from the road, but when he arrived on the highway with Hu Deman that day, one insisted on riding, while the other gratefully insisted on taking a ride with him. In the end, the two got on a diesel tricycle with several passengers.

When he was about to arrive at the county seat, a large truck came and crashed into a manned tricycle without warning. After hearing a loud bang, the scene was shocked, and the wails were ...... As a result, five people were seriously injured and one person died on the spot.

Blood and family affection is the great love of the world! The greatest pain in the world is the death of a loved one! Because of the traffic accident that needed to be dealt with, Hu Deman's funeral was not held until more than 10 days later. Because of his good popularity and special family situation, many people came to the village. Everyone is not only sad for the loss of the deceased, but also sympathetic to the living family.

On the day of Hu Deman's funeral, because Wang Yongqian was seriously injured, doctors and everyone advised him not to go, but he insisted. At the other party's funeral, Wang Yongqian, a strong veteran, had red and swollen eyes and tears like gold......

Wang Linlin understands his father. The living person should send away the souls of the deceased with a pious heart, and taking care of the people and things behind the other party is the best way to give consolation! Therefore, in front of the other party's grave, he promised in his heart: "Uncle Deman, please go all the way! Don't worry, my father has told us: We will definitely take good care of Aunt Hu and your children!"
