No matter how smart and clever it is, it is also a dumb animal, how can it know people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows?!

At this moment an old woman with gray hair came out of the east courtyard, her back hunched over, her body trembling as she walked, and she looked at them and asked suspiciously, "What is the matter, this wall and that courtyard, listen to you—what are you ——? ”

Liu Xingmei said: "Auntie, my father is sick, we are taking him to the city to see a doctor, please help take care of the door, okay?" ”

This old lady is a neighbor, her wife is gone, she has lived with her son and daughter-in-law, her son Meng Wanpeng, and her daughter-in-law Li Yanping are all forty years old, a granddaughter Hongyan has been married for two years, and a grandson named Chang Fa, who is the teenager who ran back to report the news when Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei got married. The family is very loyal and honest, and they are also kind.

"What kind of illness did you have, so fast, isn't it good, why haven't you heard of it?" Old Lady Meng stepped forward to stare at Tao Qisheng and asked with concern, and touched his sweaty forehead with her bony hand, her most common method of diagnosis is inferior to some quacks.

At this time, Qiu Lanzhi, who was already in turmoil, said: "This illness came very suddenly, and it is not clear yet, so I have to check it out." ”

Tao Qisheng owed a debt, smiled and said, "Old sister-in-law, then I'll bother you!" ”

"Look at what the door didn't say, then you can go quickly. It seems that it is not a small disaster of headache and brain fever, so let's treat it as soon as possible, but don't delay the big illness with a small illness! "Mrs. Meng is also a warm-hearted person, and she agreed very happily.

"We'll probably have to come back tomorrow." Tao Zhenkun said.

Mrs. Meng said, "It's okay, I can't do anything else, it's no problem to look at the door, let's go." ”

"Auntie, then I'll trouble your old man!" Liu Xingmei said politely.

"You kid, don't be polite, it's all the old neighbor's old residence, who hasn't had a big affair yet, let's go."

"Auntie, I'll go with you, if my father and mother look for me, I'll trouble you to tell them!" Tao Zhenzong also got into the car.

"Okay, go ahead, multiple people are also a helper."

Tao Zhenkun caught up with the donkey cart.

On the way, I met more than a dozen men and women who were swarming to Tao's house to visit Tao Qisheng, they didn't know what kind of illness Tao Qisheng suddenly had, and they put down the grain they were picking up in the field out of concern. The leader is the eldest son Wu Jinfu, the second son Wu Jinlu, the third son Wu Jinxi, and the fourth son Wu Jinqi, the four brothers, their bodies are very healthy and tough, and their temples are gray, but they are still vibrant, and they can be said to be highly respected people in the village. Wu Jinfu has almost known the destiny of heaven, and the other three brothers have also passed the age of immortality. According to the generation, Tao Qisheng and his wife can still be called elders. The Wu family is the largest family in this village and the richest man. However, under the admonition of Mrs. Wu, they are all called according to their seniority, and they do not show off their identity and status among the approachable, and strive for equality for all, refusing to call them "master", "wife", "madam", "young master", "son", "young master", "young lady", "young lady", "young lady", "young lady", but some people feel humble and cannot not respect the title!

The four brothers of the Wu family did not appear in the field to work, and the loss of harvest caused by a hailstorm was nothing to the Wu family. Over the years, in the busy season of spring plowing and autumn harvest, the Wu family has hired short-term workers to complete a series of routine operations in the crop field, and never participated in labor. The reason why it appeared in the ground was because of my father's order to be sympathetic to the people's feelings and estimate the extent of the disaster. At this time, there is no remedy left, because it is too late to plant anything!

So, Tao Zhenkun had no choice but to stop the donkey cart, and Liu Xingmei and Tao Zhenzong also got out of the car respectfully. Under the questioning of everyone's concern, he briefly introduced the condition. Because Tao Qisheng and his wife are very popular in the village, if anyone has a big or small affair, it is really responsive, kind-hearted, never lazy and slippery, and Tao Qisheng has a craft that makes others ask for something, so there are so many people who care.

Tao Zhenzong looked for his parents in the crowd, but he didn't see them, presumably they weren't on that piece of land, they didn't know about this kind of thing, if they knew, they would have come early.

At that time, Wu Jinfu took Tao Qisheng's hand and said very sincerely: "His eldest nephew, who eats grains, everyone has a time when they are sick and have a long disaster. We are not afraid of illness, we have to treat it well, but we lack money or something, even if we open our mouths, we have nothing to say. ”

Tao Qisheng was deeply moved, so he said: "Thank you, uncle, I'm afraid that I have money to cure the disease but I can't cure my life!" ”

Wu Jinfu comforted: "Don't talk nonsense, what are you talking about this frustration!" It is said that it is rare to be over 70 years old, and your grandfather in my family is 80 years old, but he is still deaf and blind. You're just forty years away, aren't you just a sick person, what's the big deal, just treat it, don't worry. ”

Others also persuaded them.

"This is so inappropriate, how can you say that you are sick when you are sick?!

Liu Xingmei looked at the person who spoke sharply, at first glance she thought it was a child, but it turned out to be a dwarf, and she didn't look young, and her head, which was bigger than normal, was thinner than normal Baden's hair and yellow, and it was curly. With such an outlier character, she naturally has to take a second look. She had seen this person from afar several times, and learned from Tao Zhenkun's mouth that his name was Zhu Le. When she looked at Zhu Le, she would think that man was evolved from apes, and she was firm in this statement, at this time she did not mean ridicule and ridicule, nor did she turn a blind eye to discrimination, but more pity and sympathy. This person can be born in this world, it is the injustice of the Creator, and it can be said that he was born with tragedy! So, I naturally thought of a nursery rhyme sung in my childhood: "Big head and small neck, don't worry about eating and not working-"

And this Zhu Le is the person who likes to join in the fun the most in the village. On the day Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei got married, he didn't attend the wedding, because he was afraid of following the group. Everyone in the village knows that this Zhu Le is the most angry person, who picks the door very hard and treats money as his life. Because he didn't support the scene, he felt a little embarrassed to meet the people of the Tao family, so he always deliberately avoided it. Besides, he has nothing to do with the Tao family. If you want him to take the initiative to pay for it, he has to see that it is worth the family, except for the three big families in the village, Wu, Lin, and Yang, I am afraid that he will never be able to pick out the fourth household, and the rich people will not ask for his head at all. This can only show that he has a strong eyesight, and he really looks down on people who are poorer than him.

Wu Jinqi said to a middle-aged man: "Second brother-in-law, you have been buying medicinal materials for many years, and you have become half a doctor, why don't you show it to him?"

The middle-aged man was Yang Xu, he said: "The quack doctor missed the disease, not to mention that I am not a doctor, but I know a little more about medicinal properties than others, so it is not okay for me to see a doctor!" It seems that he is not very sick, so let's go to the city and have a look. ”

Wu Jinlu said: "According to Liao Sinan, who came back from going to the city yesterday, they need a 'good citizen certificate' to enter and exit the county seat, and the puppet army and the Japanese army are very strict in inspection. ”

Wu Jinxi said: "That is to be implemented next month, that is, the day after tomorrow, you can go, this is really the time for this long illness." ”

Wu Jinqi said, "Then let's go quickly, don't delay." ”

Wu Jinfu said: "Ji Ren Tianxiang, go quickly, the road is far away, hurry up early, don't rush late, wait to see you when you come back, you have to be more careful along the way!" Qisheng, you kid listen to me, you have to live well, but don't forget that my longevity is still waiting for you to fight! ”

Tao Qisheng was very grateful, so he said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, you are really joking, you are in good health." If I can get better, I will definitely give you longevity materials in the future, and it will be free. ”

"You kid have to talk and count!"

"A word is a decision, and never a word is broken."

Wu Jinfu laughed, and then asked, "Do you bring enough money?"

Liu Xingmei said: "I don't know how much money it should need, go check it first, it's not enough!"

Wu Jinfu went to touch his pocket, but what he found was a blank face, and the pocket was empty. But no one present would laugh at him, because everyone knew that the Wu family was rich, but they just didn't bring it.

Then his three younger brothers also went to their pockets to touch it, but they didn't take out the same hammer.

Almost everyone present subconsciously went to their pockets. However, most people have no money, and some of them have money, but they refuse to take it out, but they have to pretend to shake their heads helplessly.

If others don't say it, let's just say that Zhu Le, he has money with him, and he often carries it with all his family members. But he won't take it out generously, I'm afraid that the money will not be returned, even if he can't be blind, and he won't rest assured if he lends it to others, it's better to take it with him safely and steadily.

People rarely carry money with them, because in this poor and remote place, money is sometimes indifferent in people's hearts, and there is almost no place to spend it. But not long after, when Jiao Heng and Hua Rui, who had just arrived, secretly raised the two things that men were most interested in, gambling and prostitution, some people realized the importance of money.

Wu Jinfu said: "You wait, I'll go back and get the money, it's always good to bring more."

Tao Qisheng said gratefully: "Don't bother first, let's just check it, if we need it, then -"

"That's fine, just open your mouth when you use it. If you encounter something difficult in the city, you can go to a 'Longxiang grocery store' on Hualong Street to find the owner of the place, he is my in-laws, and my son-in-law who is not married is called Long Hanyu, as long as you mention my name, you will be helped to solve the difficulties. ”

"We've remembered, maybe we're going to really trouble people when the time comes."

"If you can't mention any trouble, as long as you can help, then leave as soon as possible."

"The bridge over the river can't be walked."

"Then we'll have to go around somewhere else!"

Tao Zhenkun waved the whip in his hand, the donkey cart went forward, and Liu Xingmei and Tao Zhenzong got into the car again.

The villagers waved at them. Tao Qisheng saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but burst into tears, after years of getting along, he had already developed a strong affection for the kind villagers!

"Good guy!" Wu Jinfu sighed.

A sentence of "good person" can represent a person's character and personality.

People with shallow tear sockets are all full of tears, especially a few soft-hearted women!

As far as Tao Zhenkun is concerned, he is not as enthusiastic and cheerful as his parents, usually quiet and a little withdrawn, and his image and impression are not the kind of outstanding, conceited person, he always has a wilted head and drooping his head, like a sick chicken with the plague, so he is greatly discounted in people's minds! Don't look at him in front of Liu Xingmei, he seems to be oily and smooth, and his tongue is like a spring, but in front of others, he will become another person with a clumsy tongue.
