Chapter 14: Returning Home
Chen Mingyu stayed in the city for another night, drank a wine with Wu Yue and Zhang Xinping, and chatted about the future life, and the brothers were all full of confidence in the future!
Early the next morning, Chen Mingyu went to the department store to buy some things, and then took a bus back to his hometown to visit his parents.
Chen Mingyu's home is Shuangmiao Town Chenlou Village, there are about 25 highways from the county seat, it is said that the distance is not far, but because the road is very difficult to walk, it is better from the county seat to the town, although it is also potholed, but after all, it is still an asphalt pavement, but the road from Shuangmiao Town to Chenlou Village is a dirt road of water, and there are no drainage facilities, it is usually very difficult to walk, if it rains again, it immediately becomes a waterway, often have to wade through the water to walk, and the water is full of mud, if you don't get it right, you have to fall, Don't mention how embarrassed!
Chen Mingyu bumped all the way for nearly an hour before finally arriving in Shuangmiao Town.
Fortunately, there has been no heavy rain in the past few days, although the road is a little muddy, but it can still pass, Chen Mingyu walked for more than 20 minutes with the gift before finally returning home.
Chen Mingyu's father, Chen Zhengmin, is a barefoot doctor in the village, practicing medicine at home, Chinese medicine, Western medicine will be some, the level is not bad, he can see the general minor illness, and Chen Zhengmin is decent, the fee is low, when encountering the villagers who are really in difficulty, Chen Zhengmin gives them credit, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are taken casually, and never come to the door to collect the debt, let alone interest, and the vast majority of these villagers who have taken credit are also very conscious, once they have a lot of money, they will immediately come to the door to repay the debt.
Because of this, Chen Zhengmin has a high majesty in the village, is very respected by the villagers, and even has a little fame in the town.
Chen Qingdong's mother Yao Guilan was originally an ordinary person, with only primary school education, and made a living from farming, but over the years, she has also learned a lot of knowledge in medicine, nursing and other aspects by Chen Zhengmin's side, not only able to grasp traditional Chinese medicine, but also learned to give injections, becoming a right-hand man of Chen Zhengmin.
Chen Mingyu also has a younger sister, named Chen Yueting, three years younger than Chen Mingyu, and is now a sophomore at Huaihai University School of Medicine.
When Chen Mingyu returned home, it was already close to noon, but there were still a few bicycles parked in his yard, and it seemed that there were still people in his house to see a doctor.
Chen Mingyu II was a human being, and he was very happy to see his parents again, so he stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" ”
Chen Mingyu's mother, Yao Guilan, was cooking lunch, and when she heard the sound, she came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Chen Mingyu, Yao Guilan immediately said happily: "Mingyu, you're back!" ”
Seeing that Chen Mingyu was carrying a lot of things, Yao Guilan said with some disgust: "When you go back to your own house, you still buy something, isn't it a waste of money!" By the way, it's not Sunday either, is it? How did you get back? ”
Chen Mingyu knew that his mother was used to being diligent and thrifty, so he smiled and said: "Our unit does not have a Sunday holiday, but everyone takes turns off. I was busy for a long time a few days ago, and I made a meritorious service, so the leader gave me two days off and gave me a bonus. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Mingyu lifted the things in his hand, and continued: "Mom, I didn't buy anything randomly, isn't it cold, I bought you a sweater, you can try the right size later." In addition, I bought a coat for Yueting, didn't she say that she was going to come back recently, just let her take it back. Also, I bought two cigarettes for my dad. He is also a fifty-year-old man, and he can't smoke dry tobacco in the future, it hurts his body too much, you must tell him more about this! Actually, it would be best if my dad could quit smoking, even if he couldn't, he would have to smoke less! ”
Although Yao Guilan criticized her son for wasting money, she was really happy in her heart, and it can be reflected from the things her son bought that her son cares about his family very much, and he has indeed grown up. Moreover, the son has also made meritorious contributions and received rewards from the leadership, and it seems that the son's work is also quite smooth.
However, Yao Guilan is a traditional housewife who is not good at expressing her feelings, even with her son, she is embarrassed to show her gratification, so she just said: "You don't know your father's character, and it is impossible for him to quit smoking." He's going to be in the back room to see someone's doctor, Mingyu, you go in and talk to him, then wash your hands and get ready to eat, and I'll scramble you another chive egg! ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Mom, don't be busy anymore, I will eat whatever you do." ”
Yao Guilan said: "Okay, you don't have to worry about it, go in quickly." ”
Chen Mingyu knew that even if he told his mother not to let her be busy, it was useless, his son went home, and the mother would definitely have to be busy, so Chen Mingyu didn't say anything more, and was ready to carry things into the house.
At this time, Yao Guilan said again: "Mingyu, don't just say to buy us things, after you go back, you can also buy your own clothes, you are all a person who participates in the work, and you are also looking for a daughter-in-law, you must wear better, you know?" ”
Chen Mingyu smiled: "I know, Mom, you can rest assured, I must dress better, right?" ”
Yao Guilan didn't say anything, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Entering the room, Chen Mingyu saw that his father was treating a middle-aged man, and there were three people waiting to see a doctor sitting on the bench next to him. Chen Mingyu saw that his father's attention was on the patient at this time, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him.
After Chen Zhengmin examined the middle-aged man, he said: "Your disease should be chronic bronchitis, it is difficult to cure it radically, I will prescribe some medicine for you first, you go back to eat for a while, in addition, you must quit smoking, and prevent colds, see if the symptoms will be reduced after a period of time, if not, you will have to go to a big hospital for treatment." ”
The middle-aged man asked in a frightened tone, "Doctor Chen, can't I cure this disease?" Is that serious? Will it be dead? ”
Chen Zhengmin said with an ancient expression: "If your disease is well controlled, it will not affect your normal life." However, if it is not well controlled, it may develop obstructive pulmonary disease or even cor pulmonale, which can be serious. So you must pay attention to this disease, insist on taking medicine on time, and treat it well, understand? ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhengmin accidentally looked up and saw Chen Mingyu standing on the side, he didn't talk to Chen Mingyu, just nodded his head slightly, but his eyes still couldn't hide the joy of seeing his son come back.
Chen Mingyu didn't bother his father to see a doctor, he also didn't speak, smiled at his father, turned around and left, and entered his room.
Chen Mingyu chatted with Wu Yue and Zhang Xinping too happily last night, drank until midnight, and didn't sleep well, so he was ready to lie on the bed and sleep for a while.
After sleeping in a daze for about ten minutes, Chen Mingyu was suddenly woken up by a rapid voice!
Chen Mingyu turned over and got out of bed, came to the hall outside, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man shouting "Uncle Chen" while rushing into the house!
Chen Mingyu recognized this young man, his name was Zhong Xiaotao, and he was his cousin Chen Yuewen's brother-in-law. Chen Mingyu's cousin is the daughter of his uncle's family, but his uncle died young, his aunt remarried to other places, and Chen Mingyu's father adopted Chen Yuewen, so Chen Yuewen has been living in Chen Mingyu's house since she was eight years old, and she is only two years older than Chen Mingyu.
Chen Yuewen is not a reading material, she is not interested in going to school after finishing junior high school, after studying medical skills with Chen Zhengmin for a few years at home, by chance, she met Zhong Xiaohai, a descendant of the neighboring Qiaozhuang Village, and the two fell in love freely for more than a year and got married three years ago.
This Zhong Xiaohai is very loyal, and he is also very good to Chen Yuewen, and he has some skills, in addition to farming, he is also a good carpenter. Originally, with Zhong Xiaohai's ability, their family's life would definitely be very prosperous.
However, the good times didn't last long, less than a year after they got married, Zhong Xiaohai accidentally fell off the roof when he was covering wheat on the roof on a rainstorm day, and his legs hit the ground, and as a result, both ankles were broken into comminuted fractures!
In order to treat Zhong Xiaohai, their family owed a lot of debt. However, Zhong Xiaohai was still not completely cured, and finally became a cripple.
Zhong Xiaohai is a person with strong self-esteem, after suffering such a big blow, his personality has changed greatly, not only does he no longer farm, but he no longer touches the wood, and he doesn't even want to go out of the door, he just lies in bed and sleeps every day.
This is pitiful Chen Yuewen, she not only has to take care of her husband, but also has a young child, and bears a huge debt, and her parents-in-law are authentic farmers, and her father-in-law has a chronic disease, can't do heavy work, and can't give them any help at all. Only her brother-in-law, Zhong Xiaotao, often comes over to help her do some farm work and tidy up the house.
Due to the difficulties in Chen Yuewen's family's life, Chen Mingyu's parents would often help them, and after Chen Mingyu received the first month's salary at that time, he didn't move a penny, and gave it all to his cousin.
At this time, seeing Zhong Xiaotao coming in a hurry, looking nervous with sweating profusely, Chen Mingyu hurriedly asked, "Xiaotao, what's wrong?" ”
Zhong Xiaotao couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Chen Mingyu at home, and said happily: "Brother Mingyu, you are at home, this is really good!" Go to my brother's house to have a look, the village debt settlement team came to my house to collect and stay, my brother is unwilling to give, they will lead the pig and the sheep, my brother took a knife and put it on his neck, saying that if they dare to take the pig away, my brother will wipe his neck, no one can persuade him, you go and see it! ”
Chen Mingyu's heart sank and said, "Okay, let's leave now!" ”
At this time, Chen Zhengmin and Yao Guilan also rushed into the hall and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Chen Mingyu didn't want his parents to worry, so he said: "The arrears team went to my Yuewen's house to collect and stay, I'll go and see what's going on!" ”
Chen Zhengmin said: "You take the money with you, and if they want to collect it, give it to them!" ”
Chen Mingyu had already run to the yard at this time, and shouted while pushing the bicycle: "No need, I have money in my pocket, don't worry, you guys, I will definitely handle this matter well!" ”
Chen Zhengmin still wants to say two more words, Chen Mingyu and Zhong Xiaotao have already ridden a bicycle each and went out at a gallop!
