Chapter 176: Back to Zhangjiashan
"Originally, my mother's health is quite good. A few days ago, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Mazi's house to drink. Mazi was born at the age of forty. The mother followed the salute. I didn't drink much, and the people in the village said that they drank less than two taels of wine. It's not that you don't know how much you drink. But when I came back, I accidentally fell on the road. It happened to rain on those two days. Slippery roads. This one is not good. I slept at home for a day or two, but it still didn't get better. When I came, I was taken to the commune health center. The health center said that two ribs were broken. If the commune can't do it, he will be transferred to the county hospital. The doctor delayed for too long, and the old man's body was already slow to recover. I stayed here for two or three days, and I didn't get better. Brother, why did you come back? My mother is only in her fifties, and she is not yet sixty! Zhang Wanmei cried as she spoke.
Zhang Yunyang's family did not go home and rushed directly to the county hospital. Zhang Shanhai's grandmother Liu Xiulin just fell asleep, and Zhang Yicheng, who had been tired for a few days, also fell asleep next to the hospital bed. Zhang Wanmei pulled Zhang Yunyang to a corner of the hospital and cried.
"Evening sister, don't worry, my mother will be fine. Wait a minute, I'll ask the doctor and see what the situation is. Zhang Yunyang hurriedly comforted his sister.
Zhang Wanmei nodded, "The Red Army has taken care of the two ends these days, and sent my mother to the county hospital and went back." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yunyang said.
"My mother, what's the hard work?" Zhang Wanmei looked a little tired.
"Auntie." Zhang Shanhai walked forward and looked at his aunt, who was about the same age as his mother, who seemed to be at least ten years older than his mother, and her original plump face was extremely thin at this time.
"Mountains and seas. It's tiring to ride this far, right? Later, you and your mother will go back first, anyway, your child can't help much here. Zhang Wanmei looked at her only nephew very gently, and barely showed a smile on her face.
"Auntie, don't worry, grandma will be fine." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Well, Shanhai, you're hungry, aren't you? Auntie takes you to get something to eat. Brother, sister-in-law, go eat too. There's no rush to do that anyway. Zhang Wanmei said.
"Evening sister. Have you eaten it? Let's go get some food. Zhang Yunyang asked.
Zhang Wanmei said, "After eating, you should hurry up and eat!" ”
"Definitely didn't eat it. Let's go and eat with my brother. Why haven't you eaten so late? Zhang Yunyang asked.
Zhang Wanmei's face was embarrassed, Zhang Yunyang knew her sister very well, "Is there no money?" ”
Zhang Wanmei nodded, "The money I brought, after paying the medical bills, there is not much left." ”
"You! I'm your brother, are you still embarrassed to say it? You have to tell your dad about the money for hospitalization. I sent money home to my parents, and they must have been reluctant to spend it, so they saved it. I guess I still want to leave it to my grandson in the future! Zhang Yunyang said helplessly.
"Younger sister, but it will be used at home in the future, tell your sister-in-law. Your brother and I both go to work and receive a salary, which is a little more generous than you. Yunyang is also your sister. You're just this brother. He Ni said.
"Sister-in-law, I know!" Zhang Wanmei said.
"In the future, my sister-in-law will give you a job in the city, and it will be easier to find something to do in the city than in the countryside." He Ni said.
"Forget it, it's too troublesome. I am used to working in the countryside, and there is nothing bitter or bitter. Zhang Wanmei said.
Zhang Yunyang took the family to eat something casually, and when he went to the hospital, he specially brought two servings. I bought two aluminum lunch boxes in the store and took them back to the hospital.
When several people returned to the hospital, Liu Xiulin had already woken up, and he was extremely dissatisfied with notifying Zhang Yunyang to come back.
"I told you, old people will have that day sooner or later. Why bother the kids. Yunyang and Nizi are both members of the public family, and they have jobs to do! I'm back, what's going to work? Yunyang is still the leader of the unit! If you run away as a leader, who will be willing to do the job? When the production team is in the production team, the captain goes to drink, and who is willing to go to work? That's all the reason. "Liu Xiulin's spirit seems to have changed a lot today.
"Mother, you said such a big thing, if you don't tell us, how worried we are! You say, how can you do a good job with such a big thing at home? Yunyang and I have both asked for leave, and this time it is rare to come back, and we will stay for a few more days. When my mother's body is fully recovered, I will take you two elders together. You'll live with us in the future. He Ni said.
"Then I'm not going. Living in this hospital these days is like going to prison, and it's not comfortable at all. I can't sleep well at night. I told your father that I had to get out of the hospital quickly. If you want to die, you have to die at home. According to the rules of the village, those who die outside cannot enter the ancestral grave. Liu Xiulin said.
"Mother, you can't say this. You're going to live a long life. I'm only 60 years old now. The city people don't retire until they're sixty years old! You can't say that. He Ni said.
"Mountains and seas. Come over here and let grandma take a look at my good grandson. When I wrestled that day, I thought to myself. This time it's too bad, I'm afraid I won't see my good grandson. Mountains and seas. It's been a few years, and I've grown so tall. Grandma, I really want to come and see my grandson. It's just that the road is too far, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the way. Liu Xiulin touched Zhang Shanhai's head with his hand, and his sunken eyes were full of tears, Liu Xiulin trembled and took out a handkerchief with a line pattern from his pocket and wiped it several times in the corner of his eye.
"Grandma, you and grandpa should go to live with us! Dad, they have to work overtime every year when it comes to the Chinese New Year. Mom didn't have a long time off. I came back alone, and they were not at ease. If you go to SH City, we can take good care of you. Zhang Shanhai said.
"Silly boy. Grandma and Grandpa can still support themselves, so why bother you? Besides, SH City is too far away from Zhangjiashan, and my grandmother is afraid that she will die there, and she will not be able to find her way back in the future. Liu Xiulin said with a smile.
Zhang Yicheng also said, "Mountains and seas, in the city, grandparents are not used to living, but Zhangjiashan lives really well." The folks in the township are used to being together every day, and they feel uncomfortable when they go out all day. ”
Liu Xiulin immediately said, "After lying in the hospital for a few days, I'm afraid that I have used a lot of money from my sister, I want your father to go back and get the money, but your sister refuses." Several children in her family are in school, and the eldest child is not a few years younger than Shanhai, and he will soon go to high school. There is no place to make money at home. In the past two years, the fields have been divided, and there is enough food to eat, but there is nowhere to earn this money. How much money can you make by sending grain? The family has a lot of expenses, and they have to take care of us. I can't live here anymore. I didn't feel good these two days, and I had nightmares every day. This old person is no longer necessary, there is no need to drag down the young. It's better to go back. Even if you die, you can go to the ancestral grave. ”
"Mother, what are you talking about? You say you're less than sixty, why are you old? The sixty-year-old lady in the city is still twisting Yangge in the park! When you recover from your illness, I will definitely take you to SH to have a good look. Look at how nourishing other people's old people live. Zhang Yunyang said as he spoke, turning his head, Zhang Shanhai seemed to see tears rolling in his father's eyes.
Zhang Shanhai secretly opened his spiritual eye and glanced at his grandmother, only to find that there was some obscurity on his grandmother's face, and it seemed that it was not as simple as falling. No wonder the fall was so bad.
Zhang Shanhai quietly gave his grandmother a soul suppression technique, so that grandma's soul could be condensed, so that at least it could ensure that grandma's condition would not deteriorate in a short period of time, and the recovery of the hard injuries on her body would not be affected by the damage to her soul.
"Where did Grandma fall?" Zhang Shanhai asked with concern.
"Alas, grandma is really unproductive, such a big person, she wrestles when she walks. That day, I went to Mazi's house to drink, and when I came back, I slipped and fell at the Yin Master's grave. Liu Xiulin said.
"Yin Master's Tomb?" Zhang Shanhai groaned in his heart, when he said that he had not completely solved the problem of Yin Shi's grave, he didn't expect it to bring such a big trouble to his grandmother, and there seemed to be a vague trace of elusiveness between this drink and a peck.
"In the countryside, that's not good. After the rain in the next day or two, the road turned into mud and was very slippery. At this age, I just can't stand the fall. If you fall, you have to fall into bed. Zhang Yicheng said.
While he was talking, Zhang Jingxian came in from outside, carrying a net bag with two bottles of canned food and a few boxes of tonics.
"Huh, Yunyang? Yunyang! Oops, I haven't seen you for a few years, but when I become a cadre, it's different. Style! Haha, being a leader is different. This is the mountains and seas, and the bad boys have grown so big. Back then, they all asked me to divide the money. Zhang Daneng's stingy appearance, you scolded him, can he really give you money? It's just a different person, and you count them down, and there is no reason to give money? This kid came to my house and said he wanted to divide the money with me. Hahaha. Zhang Jingxian recognized Zhang Shanhai at a glance and turned out Zhang Shanhai's troubles back then.
Zhang Shanhai smiled, "The old man still remembers the troubles of the year!" ”
"This must be remembered. Which one of Zhangjiashan doesn't remember? As soon as Zhang Shanhai was mentioned, everyone said, oops, that guy, he has been a demon since he was a child, he looks like four or five, and he is not as tall as a bucket, that guy, jumped on the table and sang. I was stunned for a whole night! Zhang Daneng couldn't raise his head in Zhangjiashan. As soon as others say it, they say, you can only obey Zhang Shanhai. You kneel your son, and you haven't knelt down more than him. "Anyone who is a Yin Master can speak the Tao, and the dead can speak alive.
Everyone in the ward pricked up their ears to listen to Zhang Jingxian's laughter, and when they heard the funny part, they laughed together.
Zhang Shanhailing found a strange phenomenon under his eyes, and with the laughter of everyone, the gloomy atmosphere in the ward dissipated a little. As the old saying goes, smile, ten years of life. It turns out that it really makes sense.
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law, Lu Yufeng, glanced at her husband, "You know nonsense." I don't know if I want to take a look at Yunyang Niang first. ”
Zhang Jing's ancestors are several generations higher than Zhang Yicheng, but his age is still a little younger, and he still followed Zhang Yicheng's ass when he was a child. But in the countryside, even if people are little children, and their seniority is better than yours, you have to call your uncle what you should call uncle, and you have to call your grandfather what you should call your grandfather.
Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law, Lu Yufeng and Liu Xiulin, are a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, how is your health?" Zhang Jing asked first.
"Oh, that's not going to happen. But the seniority is messed up. Liu Xiulin said with a smile.
"No mess, no mess. The relationship between me and Brother Yi Cheng, you don't know. He's closer than my brother! When I was a kid, I followed his ass every day. I and Yi Chengjia are also relatives who can't beat the eight poles. It's all about age. That's not messy. In the future, Yunyang will call me uncle. Shanhai should call me grandpa. I don't have any children, and it's rare to have one named my grandfather. Zhang Jingxian said.
Lu Yufeng's heart was a little sour when she heard this, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable.
"Can't say that. You old couple are kind and loving, and no one in Zhangjiashan is envious. Just follow the first. In the future, Shanhai will also be your grandson. Zhang Yicheng said.
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Jingxian said, "By the way, it's not easy for the people in the village to come out, so they asked me to buy something, I think I bought so many things, and my sister-in-law couldn't eat so much, so it was wasted." I'll just keep my money here. This little thing is a little bit of heart between me and Yufeng. Old sister-in-law, you can recuperate with peace of mind. Get your body well as soon as possible. In the future, Yufeng will also have a place to chat. Zhang Jingxian said.
Zhang Jing first took out a red paper bag from his pocket, opened the red paper bag, and it was all piece by piece, a few corners and corners, a lot of money, I am afraid that there are also a hundred yuan, and it is also a lot of money in the countryside.
"Uncle, look, is this money taken back and returned to the villagers? I'll do it. After working for so many years, I didn't go back to Zhangjiashan to visit my fellow villagers, and the old man in this family was sick, so I brought money back. Zhang Yunyang hurriedly excused himself.
"I know that you work in the city and get a state salary, and you don't lack this money, but this is the heart of the villagers. It is also the rule of our Zhangjiashan. You have to take the money. If you don't take it, others will think that you are a national cadre and look down on our mud legs. Zhang Jingxian said.
Seeing that Zhang Yunyang was a little embarrassed, Zhang Jingxian smiled and said, "Our uncle and nephew are talking and telling the truth, don't look at the poor people in our township, they are all poor and ambitious." If I get the money back today, someone will run to your house tomorrow to be anxious with you. ”
He Ni also said, "Uncle is right. When my mother's illness recovers, when we go back to Zhangjiashan, we will buy more things. When it came out that year, many people came to deliver it. I haven't thanked them yet. ”
Zhang Shanhai sat on the side, watching all this, so familiar, so warm. This is something that cannot be felt in the city of SH. Just hearing this word and deed, my heart is very comfortable and calm.
Sure enough, Liu Xiulin's body recovered extremely quickly in the next few days, of course, Zhang Shanhai secretly performed an exorcism technique to drive away the yin and evil qi on his grandmother's body. Every time he casts it, the obscure aura on Liu Xiulin's body decreases by one point, and his complexion becomes ruddy.
"That Yin Master's grave has to be solved, otherwise it will always be a disaster." Zhang Shanhai said in his heart.
Liu Xiulin's broken ribs also recovered relatively quickly, and after a day or two, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
Liu Xiulin couldn't stay in the hospital anymore, "Yunyang, you will go through the discharge procedures today, living here, I feel like I am in prison." If you don't get me discharged, I'll sneak back tonight. ”
"How's that going to work? You're not in a good position yet! I have to fully recover before I can go back. What should I do if I have sequelae? Zhang Yunyang said.
"If you don't go, tell the doctor, if you don't go, I'll go!" Liu Xiulin's attitude was very resolute.
Fortunately, the doctor thinks that the recovery stage is no different in the hospital and at home. Even at home the mood is better, and some recover a little better.
Zhang Shanhai's family lived in a guest house for the past two days. Speaking of returning to Zhangjiashan, the family was in a difficult mood.
