Chapter 31: Men Don't Shed Tears
Not long after the old man Yuan arrived on the front foot, the old man of the Xu family on the back foot also rushed over accompanied by the family members of the younger generation.
Before Li Qingping and his wife could greet these guests, the guy at the medical center in front of them said that a convoy was parked in front of their house.
Realizing that the old man's old friends were probably coming one after another today, Li Qingping and his wife hurriedly went out to greet them and told the servants at home to prepare the meal quickly.
As for Chu Feng, he was left by Old Man Li and helped him greet many old friends who came one after another.
Chu Feng served tea and poured water for everyone on the side, and Old Man Li also introduced every old friend to him one after another.
Finally, when it was almost noon, the endless stream of visitors eased a little.
From early morning to noon, a total of five old men came. Even one or two of them, even Li Qingping felt a vague impression.
But it can be seen that every old man has been friends with his old man for at least 50 years. When the old man saw them, he was very happy. For so many years, it has been rare to see his father so happy, Li Qingping knew that these old men had a status in his father's heart, and immediately greeted these distinguished guests.
After looking at the time, almost all the old friends who could arrive today have arrived, and the old man of the Li family will support his children and grandchildren and welcome several old friends to the study for a private chat.
"Chu Feng, you follow me to the study to greet these elders. There are just some things that I have to ask you about. ”
While speaking, Old Man Li led the way and welcomed everyone to the study.
After the host and guest were seated, Chu Feng served tea to these old men, and then stood aside to wait for the guests.
Avoiding Old Man Li's children and grandchildren, the old man of the Yuan family wanted to ask what was going on. But looking at Chu Feng who was standing aside, he hesitated a little.
Similarly, several other elderly people have wanted to ask for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to talk in detail in private, and they have not spoken.
"I was told by Chu Feng, so in front of him, there was nothing to hide. Say whatever you want. But I can say it first, who dares to shed tears for me here, don't blame me for driving people? We are all seventy or eighty people, and we can't be ashamed in front of our juniors. ”
Knowing that these old guys wanted to ask about their bodies, the old man of the Li family spoke first.
"Xiao Chu, are you sure that Old Man Li has only a few days left?"
One of the old men surnamed Lu glanced at Chu Feng and asked softly.
When Old Man Li introduced Chu Feng to them just now, he was extremely solemn, and all the old men here knew that Li Chu was a person, so they also attached great importance to Chu Feng.
But I never thought that the medical skills of this young man in his early 20s were actually better than that of Old Man Li?
"Four days to go. According to Old Man Li's medical cultivation, he may not have felt anything yesterday, but he should be able to sense his physical condition today. ”
In ancient times, there were monks who could predict the time of their death in advance, and the old man of the Li family practiced medicine for a while, so he could naturally perceive his physical condition in advance.
When Mr. Li introduced everyone to each other, he did not say too much about the identities of several old friends. But looking at the few old people present, some are not angry and arrogant, and some are extravagant.
When the old man of the Lu family asked this question slowly, all the old men present looked at Chu Feng.
Several old men were kind-hearted, and they were a little anxious to get a definite answer, and they did not deliberately put pressure on them.
Even so, Chu Feng still felt the influence of the aura on several old people, which made him feel an invisible pressure.
After pondering, Chu Feng calmly greeted everyone and said slowly.
Hearing Chu Feng's answer, several old men looked at each other, and then all looked at Old Man Li.
Seeing the old man of the Li family nodding with admiration on his face, everyone couldn't help but take a closer look at Chu Feng and remember this young man in their hearts.
"I called you here, one is to drink and catch up, and the other is to introduce you to Chu Feng. In the future, your body and bones will be healthy, but it will be handed over to Chu Feng. He was right, when I woke up this morning, I had a faint feeling that my body was no longer working. I'm afraid the problem is in the heart, and I can only last four days at most. But Chu Feng, this kid, seven days ago, had already seen that I was not good, and gave me a warning in advance. ”
The old man of the Li family glanced at all the old friends and said slowly.
After a pause, he continued, "How's it going?" I'll hand over the bodies of your elder brothers to Chu Feng, this young man, are you relieved? ”
The old man of the Li family intended to introduce Chu Feng's medical skills to a few old guys, so that Chu Feng could take care of a few old brothers on his behalf.
But all the old people here have no intention of doing this.
"Let your heart, mother! You old man Li! You TM knew you were not going to work seven days ago, why did you notify us in the middle of the night last night?! What do you mean? You can't have called us sooner......"
After confirming the result, the old man of the Yuan family scolded angrily, and a faint cry appeared.
Using his sleeve to control the tears from the corners of his eyes, Old Man Yuan was speechless.
Seeing the old man laughing and saying that he was about to die, Old Man Yuan felt uncomfortable.
"Didn't you just say it? Don't be embarrassed in front of your juniors, what are you crying about, are you ashamed......"
Seeing the old brother shedding tears here, the old man of the Li family felt sour in his heart and choked up a little.
"Shame on you? We have been friends for a lifetime, my old brother is about to die, even if I cry to death, who dares to say anything about me......"
I saw that the two old men were wiping their tears, and the other old man was wiping his tears while choking up and talking.
Several gray-haired old men, some of them had their hair about to fall out, and some of their legs and feet were not very dexterous......
They sat there, patting the old brothers next to them to keep them from grieving too much, but they couldn't help wiping their tears and crying.
When I was young, I cried because I fell and cried.
When I grew up, I didn't cry because I knew that I wanted to be a man and couldn't shed tears easily.
When you are an adult, you don't cry easily because men have learned to be strong and not to be weak.
I shed tears when I am old, but because I have gone through vicissitudes, I cherish the people and feelings around me more and more.
Those who have known each other for more than ten years and often keep in touch with each other are lifelong friends and brothers.
What's more, these old brothers who have known each other for at least fifty or sixty years......
Who can afford these old brothers and old fellows to be separated forever, never see each other again, and never speak again?
I can't help it......
I can't bear it!
Old friends, old brothers, this is the last time in this life to eat and drink together, the last time to talk about the time spent together.
In the future, it will no longer be possible to sit at a table to eat and drink, and it will no longer be possible to sit together and chat and catch up......
Several old people cried and laughed, talking about the past and recounting the past.
Chu Feng on the side turned his face aside, and couldn't bear to look at the life and death of this friend and brother.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure walking outside the door, and Chu Feng saw several old people talking about the past, so he quietly withdrew from the house.
Seeing Li Qingping standing outside the house, quietly wiping away tears, Chu Feng noticed that Li Qingping finally knew that the old man had known about the things that had not been around for a long time.
"My dad already knew about that?"
Seeing Chu Feng walking out of the house, Li Qingping wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, quietly walked to the side, and asked in a trembling voice.
Just now, the courtyard was busy outside the courtyard, and the maids at home had already prepared the meal, so Li Qingping came to the study to invite his father and many uncles to dine.
Before he reached the door of the study, he faintly heard the sad cries of several old people, and he realized that something was wrong.
Standing outside and listening quietly for a while, Li Qingping heard from the words of everyone that the reason why these uncles and elders came in a hurry was not to visit their father, but to see their father for the last time.
"The old man found out about it a little later than you, but he told me to keep it a secret from your family, not wanting you to be too sad. So, I'm caught in the middle, and I can't say anything all the time. ”
Seeing that Li Qingping finally noticed that something was wrong, Chu Feng sighed and explained softly.
"yes, I see. It's inconvenient for me to enter the house, so you can wait a moment and invite the old man and a few elders to dinner. I'll go get ready first. ”
To Chu Feng's surprise, Li Qingping wiped away his tears, explained to him in a calm tone, and then turned around and left, preparing the banquet.
Slowly leaving his father's study, Li Qingping puffed up his chest and put away the sadness in his heart.
He is a son, and there are guests in the house, and he wants to entertain all the distinguished guests.
He is a son, and he cannot shed tears in front of his father, and he cannot make his father sad.
My father is about to leave, and I want to let my father rest assured that everything in the family is at ease. I want my father to know that he is a man who stands up to the sky, and he is no longer the child who cried and followed his father when he was a child......
