Chapter 167: Birth, Old Age, Sickness and Death
Zhao Yuanchao carried the hen given by the Li family in his hand, and followed Li Mei and Zhao Zijun to Uncle Zhao's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, because of Grandma Zhao's illness, the people in Uncle Zhao's family are basically at home, and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are also there. From this point of view, except for Zhao Tianzhu's family, everyone else is there. This made Zhao Yuanchao feel more or less depressed.
"Meimei, why are you here. Li Suzhen saw Li Mei and them coming, and hurriedly beckoned them into the house.
Zhao Yuanchao had already walked in, and Li Mei and Zhao Zijun were still following him. "We just heard that my grandmother was sick and came over. Auntie, how is grandma now?"
Li Suzhen sighed when she heard this, "At this age, this little problem will come to the door." Your grandmother is in good health, and she rarely gets sick in a year. But this time I don't know if it's a cold at night or what's wrong, this time it's more serious, and the doctor is giving your grandma an infusion in the house. ”
The doctor in Li Suzhen's mouth is not a doctor in a big hospital, but actually a doctor in the commune health center. There are such doctors in basically every commune. For example, a member of the production brigade is sick and wants to get some medicine to eat, so he goes to this doctor.
Of course, these doctors will also be on call. If you are an older person like Grandma Zhao, explain the situation to them, and they will usually go to the doctor. There is no need to pay extra for the consultation, but a meal is usually served.
As soon as Li Mei heard that Grandma Zhao was infusion, she knew that the condition was not as serious as they heard. In this era, infusion and dripping are completely different from the concept of later generations. In the future, even if you have a small cold, the doctor will recommend you to have an infusion and a drip. And in this era, catching a cold is basically an injection, a spanking. When the condition is particularly severe, the infusion will be given an intravenous drip.
Grandma Zhao is still receiving infusions and drips, indicating that the condition is still very serious. This made Li Mei a little worried about Grandma Zhao in her heart. After all, Grandma Zhao's age is there, maybe a small cold will kill Grandma Zhao.
"Then we won't talk to you first, let's go see grandma first. Li Mei and the others were worried about Grandma Zhao's condition, so they naturally didn't have the heart to chat with Li Suzhen here.
Li Suzhen nodded to indicate that she knew, "Do you want me to take you over?"
"No need, you go about your business. Zhao Yuanchao said and handed the chicken in his hand to Li Suzhen, "Uncle, this chicken is killed to make up for grandma's body." ”
In fact, as soon as Zhao Yuan came to them, Li Suzhen had already seen the chicken in their hands. And she probably knew what they were doing with this chicken, but she hadn't decided at the time, and now when she heard Zhao Yuanchao say that this chicken was for Grandma Zhao's body, Li Suzhen immediately smiled on her face. He said politely, "When you come to see your grandma, your grandparents are very happy, why are you politely carrying chickens." ”
Li Suzhen said kind words, but still took the chicken in Zhao Yuanchao's hand.
After the chickens were handed over, Li Mei and the others went to Grandpa Zhao's house. Grandpa Zhao's room was not very big, but now there are many people standing in the room, and as soon as Li Mei and them entered, it was even more crowded.
"Why are you here?" Grandpa Zhao asked loudly when he saw Zhao Yuan coming towards them. The reason why Grandpa Zhao asked like this was because he knew that Zhao Yuanchao was making red lotus at home today.
"Let's come and see. Zhao Yuanchao replied casually, and then glanced at Grandma Zhao who was lying on the bed on a drip, perhaps because of her bad spirits, Grandma Zhao who was in bed was already asleep in bed.
"Doctor, how is my grandmother's condition?" Zhao Yuanchao didn't ask anyone else, just asked the doctor. Find other people to ask Grandma Zhao's condition, maybe they still don't understand it, it's better to ask the doctor directly for the answer.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the old man is getting older, and his body functions are slowly declining. "To put it bluntly, when people get old, all kinds of diseases will come to their bodies.
Zhao Yuanchao heard this and fell silent. Because he really doesn't know what to say.
"Eldest grandson, don't be sad, this person has a day when he gets old. We've lived so much of our age, and we've lived enough, and even if we die today, we don't have any regrets. "Grandpa Zhao is quite open to this matter. But what can you do if you can't see it? Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, don't you really want to die, can you really live a long life? Besides, he is already relatively long compared with his wife and other people, even if they sleep tonight and will never wake up tomorrow, Grandpa Zhao does not feel that there is any regret. They're good enough to live.
"Okay, what do you say. Uncle Zhao couldn't get used to hearing these words. "The doctor just said that my mother's health was not as good as before, and he didn't say that she would be gone soon. It's better to say less of these frustrating words. ”
Uncle Zhao said this, but in fact, he had already made up his mind to pay attention to the things of the two old men, and they had to be prepared one after another.
These things mainly refer to the things after the death of the elderly, such as coffins and shrouds. Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao are preparing these things if they are living well, and others will definitely think that Uncle Zhao is cursing the two old men.
Actually, no, basically every family here will do this. If there are elderly people in the family, and they are old, everyone will basically prepare coffins, shrouds or something. This can also be regarded as their custom here. One is to make the old man feel at ease, and suddenly the children and grandchildren are filial piety or something. The second is that in case the old man leaves suddenly, these things are ready to be available, and he does not seem flustered.
If the family leaves suddenly and doesn't prepare these things, then they have to buy them directly. In this era, even if you have money, sometimes you can't buy it. This thing can't be bought, isn't it true that the living old people have not enjoyed any blessings, and why are they still allowed to walk naked after death?
In fact, what will happen to this person after he dies, no one knows. I will do this just to feel at ease.
So, it's common to prepare these things early here. Unless the family is so poor that they really don't have that ability.
In fact, Uncle Zhao also helped Grandpa Zhao and the two of them prepare these early, but something happened at home a few years ago, and it was really impossible to turn around, so Grandpa Zhao asked Uncle Zhao to sell the two coffins.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Grandpa Zhao, they are so old and haven't prepared these things. However, this time, Uncle Zhao made up his mind to pay attention to the fact that the coffins of the two old men had to be made of good wood, and they were made bigger. This will also make their stay more comfortable in the future......
