Chapter 701: Grandpa Qiao is critically ill
"Are we wrong? Her family is so rich, shouldn't she help our poor families?"
Aunt Qiao Qi glanced at Qiao's mother, "It's just that it's so difficult to let the second brother arrange a job?"
As soon as Aunt Qiao Qi's voice fell, her expression became a little complicated.
Who doesn't want to work, but the problem is that Qiao's father has so many nephews, nieces and nephews, who can he help? After all, the number of jobs is limited.
"Ah, I'll go back and get the money first, Yue'er Niang, you help me keep a few pieces of fabric. Aunt Qiao felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and after finishing speaking, she hurried away.
Aunt Qiao Qi is from the city, she has no brains at all, and she doesn't look at Qiao's father and mother now, can they offend?
As soon as Aunt Qiao left, several other people who were good friends with Mother Qiao also said that they would go home to get the money, and by the way, they told the people who had a good relationship.
There is a low-cost and beautiful cloth, which woman is not tempted, and many women rushed into Qiao's mother's house at once, competing for fabrics, and squeezed Aunt Qiao and them into the corner.
Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongzhi were helping on the side, and they were very busy.
Before noon, except for the things reserved by Qiao's mother, the rest of the things were bought by the members who rushed to hear the wind.
They all know that these beautiful fabrics cannot be bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the prices in department stores are definitely much higher than this.
Qiao's mother sold cloth to them at a low price and didn't have to sell cloth tickets, which was really generous.
Aunt Qiao Qi didn't hold back in the end, she still squeezed with someone and bought a few pieces of cloth.
After sending these people away, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongzhi sat on their chairs and refused to move.
It's really tiring to deal with those people.
"I haven't done anything, are you so tired?" said Qiao's mother with a smile, "Wait for two days to kill the pigs, and then you will be busy." ”
Qiao Hongzhi remembered something, he turned his head and asked Qiao's mother: "Auntie, have Yue'er's candy and biscuits been ordered?"
Qiao's mother shook her head, "Not yet, when your father is free, let's go together." "But actually, there are only a few kinds of candy and biscuits now, and there is nothing to pick from.
Qiao Jiayue couldn't help but blush when she heard them talk about it.
They have a custom here to marry their daughters and give them candy, but no one has done this for many years.
In the era of material shortage, sugar stamps are rare, and few can afford sugar, at most they invite someone to drink a bowl of diluted brown sugar water.
Qiao Jiayue felt that if she gave out candy and biscuits, wouldn't she tell everyone that their family had a future?
"Auntie, I think it's better not to send candy, and when everyone's conditions are better in the future, we will make up for it." ”
Qiao's mother looked at Qiao Jiayue and didn't agree with her statement that her daughter should deserve the best.
Just as they were talking, someone suddenly came to report that Grandpa Qiao had an accident.
Qiao's mother was shocked, when she went with Qiao's father in the morning, the old man was fine, what was going on?
On the other side, Qiao's father also received the same news, saying that the old man fell down the stairs at the door, and the whole person was a little bad.
Qiao's father hurried to Uncle Qiao's house, and when he saw that the family was noisy, Grandpa Qiao's children and grandchildren surrounded a room.
As soon as he arrived, he was pulled over by Uncle Qiao Qi, and it turned out that they were arguing about whether to send Grandpa Qiao to the hospital.
It costs money to go to the hospital, and the old man's condition is not very good at first glance, and going to the hospital is also a waste of money, so not everyone is willing to do it.
Uncle Qiao thought that the land had not been divided yet, and the old man must not leave, so he had to hold on until the land was divided and left to their big house.
Father Qiao didn't expect Grandpa Qiao to be like this, and the brothers were still in the mood to argue here, so they got angry on the spot.
He turned around and just wanted to call someone to go to the brigade to borrow a tractor, when he heard the sound of a tractor, Qiao Hongzhi stood on the tractor and beckoned to Qiao's father.
Qiao's father didn't say anything, went into the house and carefully wrapped the old man in a quilt and carried him to the tractor.
When Uncle Qiao saw it, he was silent and didn't speak, and took a quilt and spread it on the tractor.
The rest of the people were quiet for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all got into the car, they were worried that Grandpa Qiao would leave a will, and they had to be there.
The speed of the tractor was driven to the maximum, and when he arrived at the county hospital, the old man went directly into the emergency room.
A group of big men sat or stood silently outside, each with their own thoughts.
In the end, the doctor came out and said that Grandpa Qiao's condition was not very good, and there might be internal bleeding, because the equipment was limited, and he could not examine it in detail, so he could only hang up a drip first.
This hospitalization plus a little drip costs a lot of money a day, and Uncle Qiao Qi was immediately dissatisfied, shouting to take the old man home.
In the end, it was Qiao's father who gave Uncle Qiao a punch to calm down.
Grandpa Qiao woke up in the evening, and he saw that several sons were in front of him.
He said to Qiao's father: "I want to see Lilan, and then you send me home, this hospital smells strange, and I am uncomfortable." ”
Hearing Grandpa Qiao's words, the faces of several people changed on the spot, they didn't expect that the old man was still thinking about Aunt Qiao.
Qiao's father didn't say anything, and told Qiao Hongzhi to go to Quanshi for a trip and call Qiao's family back.
He had a hunch that Grandpa Qiao's time might be running out.
He is not interested in the old man's things at all, so the old man can give it to whomever he wants, he doesn't care at all, as long as the old man has no regrets.
Qiao Jiayue and Qiao's mother didn't follow the tractor, after all, the tractor was so big, and it was more crowded with more people, and they couldn't help much.
Qiao's mother was talking to a few concubines, understanding what was going on before, okay, how could Grandpa Qiao fall?
It's true that no one is with the old man, and Grandpa Qiao has had a stroke once before, and his hands and feet are not very sharp, so it is estimated that he stepped on the steps at the door and then retreated, so he stepped on the air and fell.
This kind of thing is an accident, but it is still uncomfortable.
Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao are not young, and they have outlived many people, since the last time Grandpa Qiao was sick, everyone has been prepared.
Qiao Jiayue noticed that Grandma Qiao was sitting alone in the corner, expressionless, and seemed to care nothing about Grandpa Qiao's life or death.
She looked at the others as if they hadn't seen Grandma Qiao, and after thinking about it, she took the person back.
If there is no accident, Aunt Qiao, who received the news, will come over soon, and she has always been filial to Grandma Qiao, and she definitely doesn't want the old man to listen to her children and grandchildren discuss what happened after the old man's death.
Qiao's mother made a bowl of thick brown sugar water for Grandma Qiao, and the two chatted with Grandma Qiao for a while, and finally felt that something was wrong with the old man.
They were all a little surprised, looking at Grandma Qiao's preface and afterword, was she frightened?
Fourth Aunt Qiao was sweating profusely and panting when she arrived, God knows how nervous she was after hearing the news of Grandpa Qiao's fall.
She saw Grandma Qiao sitting outside the door basking in the sun, took two breaths, and went into the house to find Qiao's mother to understand the situation.
After a while, Fourth Aunt Qiao came out to talk to Grandma Qiao, Grandma Qiao looked at Fourth Aunt Qiao, she called out with a smile, but that was not Aunt Qiao's name.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Jiayue's eyes, and she looked at Aunt Qiao with a smile and talked to Grandma Qiao.
Could it be that Grandma Qiao is already a little unclear?
But then she knew that she was thinking too much, and Grandma Qiao looked at Aunt Qiao carefully, "Lijuan, you are here, your father has fallen, you go and take a look at him." ”
Fourth Aunt Qiao accompanied Grandma Qiao to speak, "Abba's brother is over there, they will be fine." ”
