When Huang was about to bring the food to his mother-in-law, he was snatched up by the head of the house and said: "In the future, I will deliver my mother's food, you go down and clean up the kitchen now!" ”

Knowing that the owner was considerate of her, Huang smiled, thought about his mother-in-law's uncertain face, and nodded and said yes.

The hungry Zhang saw the fourth child coming over with food, and said with a bad face: "Where is your mother-in-law?" Why are you bringing me food,"

"What about I ask her to clean up the kitchen? After a while, the third brother's family came over, and we still have to discuss the matter of reconciliation with the eldest brother, so my mother should hurry up and eat the meal! ”

Zhang picked up the chopsticks and ate the food into his stomach on the plate that the old man was carrying.

After a while, Tang Tiefeng really brought his mother-in-law to the main room, and the Zhang family was happy, but he still had a straight face on his face, and said in a bad tone: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't participate in this matter?" ”

Tang Tiequan saw that his mother's old matter was brought up again, and he was afraid that the third brother would turn his face and leave again, so he immediately answered: "Mother, what's the matter with you?" After the third brother left, you were sad, and the third brother came over, your tone was not good, do you really want to force the third brother's family away, you are satisfied. ”

Zhang didn't say anything, raised his eyes and looked at the third child, and saw that he was still expressionless, so he endured his anger and didn't continue to get angry: "Okay, let's get down to business!" ”

Huang Shi said in passing: "Mother, according to what you said, what should we do next!" ”

"You've been in the main room for the past two days! Your father is not allowed to go out, tomorrow the fourth child will invite the barefoot doctor in the village, and ask him for some diarrhea medicine, and boil it for your father to drink."

"Yes," Tang Tiequan nodded.

Tang Tiequan and Ma Shi didn't answer after they entered the house, but guessing from their facial expressions, they also agreed to this plan.

Two days later, according to the plan, Tang Tiequan hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door of the second brother's house, ran into the house and shouted: "Second brother, go and see our father, he seems to be about to ......"

Tang Tiexiong, who was sleeping on the kang, heard this, immediately sat up from the kang and said in a panic: "What did you say happened to Dad?" ”

"Our father's body has been a little strange since two days ago, my mother and I were a little worried, so we also sent the third brother over to let him help take care of it, who expected that this morning my father woke up, his face was pale, he spoke weakly, and he was out of breath, which can surprise us!"

"Shall we go? What's the use of saying all of this here? Tang Tiexiong hurriedly got down to put on his shoes and said to his mother-in-law who was cleaning up the kitchen: "Dad is sick, I'll go take a look." Without waiting for Sun to ask anything, he turned around and left with the fourth child to go to the main room.

Sun came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl in his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "It can't be that the main house is playing some tricks to deceive the owner!" No way! I don't worry, I'm going to follow the past quietly. ”

Put the bowl in the wooden basin, wipe your hands and go to Fei'er's house and say, "I'll go to the main room quietly, you take your younger brother at home." ”

"Yes, mother! There you go! Fei'er, who was bowing her head and embroidering in the house, looked up quickly.

Tang Tiequan walked ahead, and Tang Tiexiong followed behind him and asked, "Our father is not in good health, have you invited the doctor to come and see?" ”

"Look, it's said that it's a heart disease, and it's a little depressed,"

"The doctor didn't prescribe medicine, I remember the doctor in the town told us the same thing last time."

"It's on, my mother-in-law is boiling medicine for our father at home? This time the eldest brother's incident hit his father too hard, and he was always afraid that the eldest brother would not forgive him and complain about him, maybe it was because of this that he fell ill. ”

Tang Tiexiong didn't answer, but diverted the topic and said: "Since the medicine is prescribed, drinking a few pairs of medicine should be able to get better!" ”

The doctor said......

"What did the doctor say, as for making you talk so much?"

"The doctor said that my father's thoughts are too heavy and my heart is depressed, and my father is afraid that he will not have many days!"

"What!" Tang Tiexiong was excited, stood aside and did not move, although he had a lot of complaints about his father, but he still hoped that he would be healthy and live a long life.

Tang Tiequan turned around, saw that the second brother was stunned, and did not continue to walk forward, his face was unbearable, he actually couldn't bear to deceive the second brother, but there is a loss to gain, if the second brother is not deceived in this matter, how can he deceive the eldest brother's family, so he said: "Second brother, let's hurry up and see Dad!" ”

"Oh, okay, let's go!" Tang Tiequan was so frightened by what the fourth child said that his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift his feet.

Tang Tiequan saw that although the second brother agreed, he didn't take a step for a long time, walked directly to him, took his arm and said, "Our father is still waiting for us at home?" There's no time to waste time here. ”

"Oh, you're right!" Like a piece of wood, he continued to walk forward with the fourth child taking his arm.

When he arrived at the gate of the main house, how did Tang Tiequan pull the third brother into the courtyard, he didn't move, and finally Tang Tiequan could only turn to the third brother and say, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"I want to go too, but I can't use any strength in my legs," Tang Tiexiong said helplessly by scratching his hair with his hand.

That's kind of scary! Tang Tiequan smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't walk, I'll carry you in!" ”

Tang Tiexiong waved his hand and said, "No need! I'd better go on my own! He slowly raised his feet, moved step by step, and finally came to the door of the main house, he listened to the crying sound of the third and fourth daughters-in-law in the house outside, his heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and he bit his tongue fiercely with his teeth, until bleeding, he was refreshed by the pain, and he didn't care about anything else, and lifted the curtain to go in to see what was wrong with his father.

When Ma Shi saw the third brother coming in, he pinched his arm, his face was tangled in pain, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Second brother? Look at our dad! ”

Tang Tiexiong slowly approached his father's kang, saw that his face was pale, closed his eyes and said softly: "Dad? After screaming, Old Man Tang didn't have a straight eye, and he called again: "Dad? ”

Old man Tang opened his eyes and said weakly: "Second child? ”

"Dad, it's me, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that his father stretched out his hand to shake his hand, but he couldn't exert any strength at all, and called him weakly.

"Boss...... What about the boss...... "This is the final means of the Zhang family, and it is impossible for anyone to see this scene without being touched."

Tang Tiexiong grabbed his hand and said, "What about the eldest brother in the town?" Father. ”

"Boss...... Boss ......" Old Man Don kept muttering, calling the boss's name.

Huang shed tears on the side, and said anxiously: "Second brother, my father is like this, and I still miss my eldest brother, you go and call your eldest brother!" Dad has been calling the eldest brother's name since the morning, and you don't know what happened between us and the eldest brother, if we go, the eldest brother not only doesn't believe it, maybe he will beat us out with a broom. ”

Ma Shi also said: "Second brother, what the fourth brother and sister said is reasonable. ”

Tang Tiexiong was just about to speak, when Sun opened the curtain and came in and said, "What happened to Dad?" Outside, I heard the cries of the third brother and sister and the fourth brother and sister, which ...... the voice of the person also arrived, and when she saw everyone gathered around the kang, she was frightened, and said in her heart: "Father-in-law can't be dead!" ”

Ma didn't know what Sun was thinking, thinking that she was frightened by the faces of her and her third siblings, so he said, "Second sister-in-law, you should also come and see your father!" ”

Sun Shi first looked at the face of the master, his legs were weak, and he slowly walked to the side of the kang, and when he saw that his father-in-law was still panting, he patted his chest and said, "Fortunately! Lucky! "She really thinks that her father-in-law has a good one?

Tang Tiequan happened to be standing next to Sun's and said to her: "Third sister-in-law, you also help us persuade the second brother, my father is like this now, and there are not many good days, my father's heart is all about the eldest brother, you let the second brother call the eldest brother's family to see Dad!" ”

Sun was entangled, looking at her father-in-law's expression, there were really not many days, but it was not a matter for her to open her mouth and call her eldest brother's family back, and she hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Tang Tiexiong looked at the tears in the corners of his father's eyes, and said with a sour heart: "Dad, don't worry, I'll call the eldest brother's family, you are at home, they come." With that, he turned around and went out.

When the Sun family saw the head of the family going out, he hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "You really want to call the eldest brother's family, do you know that Qing'er is going to get married in a month, if your father really has an accident, have you thought about Qing'er's family business?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Tiexiong hesitated, his outstretched foot was retracted, and Ma and Huang, who were watching this scene in the room, grabbed the silk handkerchief in their hands vigorously, eager to step forward and give Sun two big mouths, and she was always indispensable to anything that was in the way.

Tang Tiequan walked up to his father and whispered: "Dad, your acting skills are really good, the second brother believes it." ”

Old man Tang rolled his eyes and said in his heart: I ran to the toilet for a day yesterday, and the old woman specially explained that he would not let him eat, so it's no wonder that he didn't collapse!

"What do you want to say?" Tang Tiequan saw the corners of his father's mouth twitching, and he couldn't hear what he said clearly, so he put his ear to his mouth and asked.

Old man Tang said it again, and finally Tang Tiequan finally understood what his father wanted to say, it turned out that his father was hungry, nodded and said, "Dad, when the second brother goes out, I will bring you some porridge." ”

Seeing his father blinking, Tang Tiequan went to his mother-in-law's side, and saw the second brother discussing things with the second sister-in-law through the crack outside the window, I don't know what the second sister-in-law said, the second brother hesitated after hearing this, afraid that things would change, so he hurriedly went out and said: "Second brother, why are you still here?" ”

Tang Tiexiong stumbled and said, "Big brother's ...... Qing'er ...... is going to get married, if there is a good father at this time, it is difficult for the Xue family to explain. ”

"Second brother, at this time, you still care about these, whether Qing'er's marriage is important or our father is important, you can weigh it yourself!" In order to highlight the seriousness of the matter even more, Tang Tiequan threw his sleeves away angrily and went to the kitchen to prepare food for his father.

Tang Tiexiong and his wife were left in the courtyard, and Sun was worried: "The eldest brother's family has severed the relationship with the main house, and Qing'er is married, what must go wrong in the middle, have you ever thought about the consequences, you are saying that your father is sick like this, if the doctor in the village can't cure it, we should quickly pull my father to the town and let the good doctor take a look,"

The Huang family, who was eavesdropping in the house, saw that things were not good, so he sorted out his clothes and went out: "Second sister-in-law, if you miss Qing'er's marriage, you can still set a good day, but there is only one father, if there is really a good one, who can take this responsibility." ”

"That's right, second sister-in-law, if something happens to your father, can you afford it? was saying that the eldest brother had severed relations with us, but at that time, the eldest brother also said that if his father was a hundred years later, he would definitely come back to wear a longevity coat and wear linen and filial piety to give his father a ride. Ma followed Huang and continued to attack Ma.

Ma Shi was so confused by the two of them singing and harmonizing that he couldn't say anything, and finally could only look at the boss with a blank eye, let him make up his mind, Tang Tiexiong sighed and said: "Don't say it, I'll go find the eldest brother." ”

This sentence made Ma and Huang's hearts settle down, and they took great pains to think of this plan, if the second brother did not cooperate, it could really be said to be unlucky.

When the Sun family saw that the master agreed, he didn't say anything anymore? No matter how you say it, it is a private matter of the old Tang family, and she, as a daughter-in-law, has no right to decide whether things are good or bad.

Tang Tiexiong went to Tang Da Niu's house to borrow an ox cart, and then drove the ox cart to the town, thinking about how to talk to the eldest brother about this matter all the way, both afraid that the eldest brother really didn't care about his father and was afraid that after the eldest brother took care of his father, he would find him one after another.

finally drove the ox cart to the door of the eldest brother's house, hesitated in the third or knocked on the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

Brother Xiang, who was repairing furniture in the courtyard, heard someone call the door: "Come, come," put down the hammer and axe in his hand and got up to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw the second uncle of the Tang family coming over, and said with a smile: "Why did the second uncle come here today!" "His name is after Tang Qing'er.

Tang Tiexiong grimaced, and said with a grim face: "Is your uncle at home?" ”

"Yes! Qing'er will get married in a while, and he won't go out to collect old furniture now, so what about making cabinets for Qing'er at home with me? ”

"Oh," after speaking, he ignored Brother Xiang's words, walked directly to the house, and shouted, "Big brother, you come out!" ”

Tang Tiezhu was discussing with Qing'er in the house how to make the wooden cabinet she wanted, when he heard the voice of the second child and said to his daughter, "It seems that your second uncle is here?" I must have come to ask you something. ”

Tang Qing'er's face turned red and said, "Dad." ”

"What's so embarrassing about this, you girl used to look bold, but now she can't help but be funny! Haha...... "Get up and go out to greet the second brother."

Tang Tiezhu went to the main hall with a smile on his face, he didn't notice the second child's face at all, and when he saw him coming alone, he said strangely: "Why are you alone, the second brother and sister and the babies?" ”

Tang Tiexiong said in a hoarse voice: "Big brother, I'm afraid our father can't do it?" ”

With a bang, Tang Tiezhu was stunned, if someone else said this, he might not believe it, thinking that it was a means used by the main house, but these words came out of the mouth of the second child, and he was dizzy for a while and said: "Dad...... Can't do it anymore? ”

"yes!" I thought it would be difficult to open my mouth to say this to my eldest brother, but I was still worried about my father, and when I saw my eldest brother come out, I couldn't wait to tell him about it, and when I answered him again, I looked very relaxed: "Big brother, what are you still doing here in a daze, let's go to see my father in the village!" He's been at home waiting for you to come back? ”

When Tang Tiezhu came out, Tang Qing'er also quietly followed, of course, she heard the conversation between the second uncle and her father, and was afraid that his father would not be able to withdraw as easily as last time, so he couldn't help but come out from behind and said, "Dad? ”

Being called by Qing'er, Tang Tiezhu suddenly sobered up, thinking of Qing'er's marriage, thinking of the solemnity of the in-laws' dowry, if his father really had any accident this time, wouldn't Qing'er's marriage be ......, he didn't dare to think about it, after all, he was also a father, looked at the second brother with an anxious face, and slowly said: "After so many things, I'm afraid, even if you come and tell me, I don't want to go." ”

"Big brother......" Tang Tiexiong couldn't help but speak.

Tang Qing'er saw his father express his attitude and said, "Second uncle, is grandpa really sick?" ”

"Yes, the doctor said that the thoughts are too heavy and cause depression, I see that your grandfather's face is pale, there is no blood, he is weak and unable to speak, he is indeed very sick"

"According to what you say, grandpa is like this, what's the use of calling dad over, he's not a doctor, he's really sick so badly, you should be asked to come to town to call a doctor instead of calling my dad over, do you say that's right,"

Tang Tiexiong thought about it for a while, he also thought about this problem at this time when he drove the ox cart, I was afraid that his father was returning to the light, even if the doctor went to see it, he couldn't do anything, the tunnel: "Your father may be back to the light?" ”

"If it was really a return to the past, grandma would have come to my house a long time ago."

"I forgot to tell you that your grandmother accidentally broke her leg after returning from here last time, and she has been recuperating in Jing'er's house, so I didn't see her." Tang Tiexiong said slowly.

"That's even more impossible, even if she is seriously ill, grandpa is like this, she will take care of him on the side whatever she says, without pretending to be others, how can she be so quiet,"

"This ...... This one...... I didn't pay attention," Qing'er asked, and he couldn't answer a word.

"Second uncle, how about I make a move for you,"

"What's the trick?"

"I'll ask Liang'er to take you to the town to find a doctor you know, and then you take him back to the village, if he takes the pulse and says that grandpa is really sick, our family will go back to the village immediately to do their filial piety, if it's fake......" Tang Qing'er deliberately said half a sentence.

Tang Tiexiong didn't know what she meant, but he thought of other things and asked, "Then what should your father do when he asks about your father?" ”

"You just said that my father went to other villages to find good sandalwood for me, and he is not at home at this time,"

Tang Tiexiong looked at the eldest brother and saw that he nodded in agreement, so he could only say, "Okay, just do what you say!" If your master really diagnoses that time is short, you should go back to the village quickly, if it is fake, I ...... "dare to lie to him, he will not let the people in the main house stop."

Tang Qing'er went to the backyard to call Liang'er out, and on the way he told him about the matter, he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I know a doctor, if he goes to see a grandfather, he will not hide our grandfather's illness from me when he comes back." ”

"Yes, that's good!"

"Eldest sister, do you suspect that our master's illness is a little strange."

"Who knows? Maybe it's true, or maybe it's a trick. ”

"Eldest sister, if the illness is fake, our father will definitely be even more chilled by our father, and the second uncle will be annoyed and angry when he is deceived, I really hope that our father's illness is a trick and blow us up!"

"Otherwise, can I let you find a doctor you know?"

"The eldest sister is really smart, in fact, you have already guessed the result, right? If our mother is at home today and hears what our father said, I don't know how sweet my heart should be? ”
