Chapter 083: There will be afterglow in the house of goodness
Doing good deeds and having a good heart has always been the motto of the Sang family.
When Sang Zhiheng went home to discuss with his parents and Shen Jiaqi, he said that he wanted to care for the poor families with cancer in Gangcheng County in the name of Shangougou Juice Factory and Prince Orchard, and he immediately got the support of his family.
"Now that our family has money, it's time to do something good." Sang Shoucheng squatted at the door, took two puffs of cigarette, nodded and said.
Sang Zhiheng stood in the middle of the courtyard and said with a smile: "Now that Jiaqi is also pregnant, let's do this, it can be regarded as praying for the descendants of the Sang family." ”
Zhiheng Niang stood aside and said with a smile: "I love to hear Zhiheng's words, in order to let me and your father hug our grandson smoothly, we have to do some good deeds." In addition, on February 2 next year, we will also get Mount Tai to send the son to the mother to beg for a prayer, goodbye, so that the quasi-insurance. ”
Shen Jiaqi shook his head a little speechlessly, and said, "Zhiheng, I'm a little tired, let's rest first." ”
With that, she got up and went back to her room.
When Zhiheng Niang saw it, she was greatly discolored, and hurriedly asked Sang Zhiheng in a low voice: "Zhiheng, is Jiaqi unhappy when I said this just now?" ”
Without waiting for Sang Zhiheng to speak, Sang Shoucheng stared at his wife and said, "You, you, what are you talking about grandchildren, what Jiaqi is going to raise, don't do so many things!" ”
Sang Zhiheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Jiaqi doesn't matter, she should be really tired, she has been like this for the past two days." And the pregnancy reaction is so bad, I can't eat a little oil and water, and my body is naturally a little uncomfortable. Mother, it's okay. ”
"Are you alright?"
"It's all right!"
Then, Sang Zhiheng looked at his father and asked, "Dad, who in our village has cancer?" ”
Sang Zhiheng put down the cigarette pouch, frowned, and said while thinking: "Anyway, if anyone has cancer, it will basically be at an advanced stage when it is detected, and it will not work in a few months." If you want to talk about our village, I remember that Li Chengcai's father, 82-year-old Li Tongyi, was just diagnosed with esophageal cancer two months ago, and it seems that he is quite serious now. ”
"Li Chengcai? Is it the blind man in our village, who often hits the ground with a bamboo pole and tells fortunes in the neighboring villages? ”
Sang Shoucheng shook his head and said, "Hey, this Li Cheng's fortune is also hard." Speaking of which, Li Chengcai is three years younger than me, and he is only fifty-seven this year. In the past, he had a good chance in school, but when he was in high school, he was injured in the back of the head once, and then he became blind. Otherwise, with his academic performance, he would definitely be able to be admitted to university. Now, he's basically a wreck, barely seeing anything with his eyes. A few years ago, when his mother was alive, their family still looked like a family, but now it looks like a human life. ”
As he spoke, the whole family felt some sympathy for the old father and son who depended on each other.
The father is eighty-two years old, the son is fifty-seven years old, one has advanced esophageal cancer, and the other can't see anything.
"Dad, the government doesn't care?" Sang Zhiheng also spent some time in the government before, and sometimes went to poor families to offer condolences, but he had never been to such a miserable home.
"During the New Year's holidays, the town and the village will send some noodles and money to Li Chengcai's family, but except for the New Year's holidays, there are more days this year. Pointing to the government, it is estimated that the fat man can also be hungry. Li Chengcai is okay, there are sympathies everywhere he goes, but he can't starve to death. But his father is miserable, it is said that last time Li Chengcai didn't go home for two days, Li Tongyi couldn't get up from bed, and he didn't eat for two days. Oh, poor. ”
Zhi Hengniang frowned and said: "I don't think this thing is accurate, if you don't eat for two days, a good person can starve to death, how can he be so seriously ill, and still alive?" I think this must be what Li Tongyi said. On the Xiling side, Li Tongyi's neighbors often come to his house twice in three days, and it is impossible for him to go hungry for two days. ”
Sang Shoucheng glared at his wife and said, "Women, don't talk nonsense." Even a few families on the Xiling side said that they hadn't been there for two days, could it be that he still had to lie? ”
Hearing this, Sang Zhiheng couldn't sit down anymore, stood up, and said, "Dad, let's go to Li Chengcai's house now." ”
Sang Shoucheng nodded, pinned the dry tobacco pouch behind his waist, and said, "Okay." ”
Then, Sang Shoucheng and Sang Zhiheng carried a box of mountain gourd juice, and when they passed by the commissary, they bought a box of eggs and walked towards Li Chengcai's house.
Although the population of Taizi Village is small, it covers an area larger than that of large villages.
This is mainly because Taizi Village is located in a mountainous area, and there are not many flat places, so the whole village is scattered on the relatively flat area around Xuangu Mountain. On the whole, Taizi Village is divided into three parts, Dongling, Xiling and Zhuangli.
Sang Zhiheng's family lives in Dongling, and Li Chengcai's home is in Xiling, so if you want to think of his family, you need to walk over the mountains for half an hour.
Under the leadership of Sang Shoucheng, half an hour later, the two came to the door of Li Chengcai's house.
Li Chengcai's home is the only earthen grass house in the village so far.
What is a soil embryo grass house? Except for the bottom one-meter-high wall, which is made of stone, the upper part is made of clay as a building material. Then the roof was not made of tiles, but was made of wheat straw in bundles, which were turned up in rows.
Although Li Tongyi is eighty-two years old this year, it seems that he is still a little younger than the age of this house.
The biggest disadvantage of such a house is that it is easy to leak rain in summer, often heavy rain outside, light rain inside, sunny outside, and cloudy inside.
Therefore, when Sang Zhiheng walked into Li Tongyi's house, a strong musty smell came to his face.
It is not easy for an old man to live in such an environment and live to be eighty-two years old.
Seeing someone coming, the old man lying on the bed struggled to sit up and looked towards the door.
The light in the room was very bad, Sang Zhiheng and Sang Shoucheng had just entered the room, and they didn't get used to the light inside, and they didn't find where the old man Li Tongyi was.
"Is it Shoucheng?"
Although the old man's stomach is not good, his eyes and ears are very good, which is also a miracle.
Sang Shoucheng rubbed his eyes, looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Uncle Tongyi, are you okay?" ”
"It's really Shoucheng."
Although the old man's voice was very small, Sang Shoucheng's father and son could hear it clearly, and they could hear that the voice was trembling because of excitement.
"Uncle Tongyi, don't sit up, just lie down, we heard that you are not feeling well, so we came to see you."
It could be seen that the old man Li Tongyi was very happy and insisted on struggling to sit up, so Sang Zhiheng and Sang Shoucheng hurriedly came over and set the old man up.
The old man was skinny, with high raised cheekbones and sunken cheeks.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Tongyi smiled, looked at Sang Zhiheng, and said, "This is Zhiheng, right?" ”
The old man speaks very slowly, esophageal cancer, and it is advanced, and it is very difficult to speak.
"Grandpa, I'm Zhiheng!" Sang Zhiheng was afraid that the old man would not be able to hear clearly, so he raised his voice and said.
The old man smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Okay, okay." ”
"Uncle Tongyi, what about Chengcai?"
"I'm out, I'm coming back."
As soon as Li Tongyi's words fell, Sang Zhiheng heard a creaking sound of opening the door from the door.
"Dad, I'm back."
Li Chengcai came back, so Sang Shoucheng said to Sang Zhiheng: "Zhiheng, go and see your Uncle Chengcai." ”
Taizi Village is very small, with only more than 500 people, so everyone in the whole village is familiar with it.
Sang Zhiheng ran to the door and saw Li Chengcai groping in from the gate.
"Uncle Chengcai!"
Sang Zhiheng shouted, then walked to Li Chengcai's side and held Li Chengcai's arm.
Li Chengcai wore an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, with an obvious surgical suture in his head, and his eyes rolled and rolled. However, Li Chengcai is very tall, half a head taller than Sang Zhiheng, about 1.87 meters.
Generally speaking, people who are blind have better hearing and touch than ordinary people.
When he heard this, he frowned, and immediately asked with some excitement, "Zhiheng?" It's Zhiheng! ”
"It's me, Uncle Chengcai! We know Grandpa is sick, so let's come and see Grandpa. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, let's go inside and talk."
So, Sang Zhiheng supported Li Chengcai and entered the dark and damp room.
No wonder those government officials would not come to such a poor family to help the poor, it is estimated that they do not even have the courage to enter this house. Because, those who are rich and powerful, are always worried that there will be germs in such rooms that make them sick or something.
Yet, there are people who live in such a room full of germs all day and night!
Sang Shoucheng saw Li Chengcai walking into the room, so he said, "Brother Chengcai, you're back!" ”
When Li Chengcai heard this, his hands trembled a little excitedly.
"Brother Shoucheng, you're here too."
"Uncle Tongyi is sick, and I don't come to talk about it. Chengcai, have you eaten? ”
"I've eaten, Dad, look, what did I bring back for you?" Li Chengcai trembled and took out a big red apple from his arms.
Li Tongyi glanced at Sang Shoucheng with some embarrassment and said, "I can't bite it, I can only smell it." There is a tumor in the head of the stomach and intestines, and I can't swallow it. ”
Looking at such a miserable father and son, Sang Zhiheng couldn't bear it anymore, tilted his head to look at the door, and blew his nose and tears.
"Grandpa, take a sip of this, you can drink this!" At this moment, Sang Zhiheng prayed in his heart, hoping that his juice could really cure this stubborn disease in the world and relieve the pain of the old man Li Tongyi.
Sang Zhiheng opened a bottle of Shangougou juice and handed it to Li Tongyi.
"You don't have to bring anything, you can't use it, the old man won't live for a few days."
Sang Shoucheng frowned and said, "If the child asks you to drink, you can drink it." ”
Li Tongyi hesitated slightly, took the juice, and tried to take a sip.
"Good stuff." After taking a sip, Li Tongyi nodded and said.
Li Chengcai beckoned Sang Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, come here." ”
Then, he touched the top of Sang Zhiheng's head all the way, touched his heel, and finally grinned and said: "Brother Shoucheng, your son will be a big man in the future!" ”
