78. Go home
Shi Dayong went home and said that he wanted to take a bath for his father, and the first one to jump out against it was Sun Xiufang, it was late autumn now, the weather was getting colder, the old man was so weak, what if he caught a cold?
Shi Youtian heard Shi Dayong's words, yelling that he had to wash, everyone has a sixth sense, he felt that his time was short, he wanted to go cleanly, discuss and discuss, and finally thought of a way, not only to give his father a bath, but also to let his father freeze.
This method is more troublesome, the whole family needs to mobilize, at the moment, the whole family is busy, Wang Ying is responsible for boiling water, Shi Dayong and Rui ** hand built a simple bathing room, the two cabinets face to face, leave a gap in the middle, put a quilt on the top and back to keep warm, and leave the door in front of it, covering Shi Dayong's military rubber raincoat.
After the bathing room was set up, Shi Dayong brought in the big washing basin at home and placed it in the middle.
Wang Ying boiled several pots of water in the big pot at home, until the thermos, kettle, and cauldron were full, and then poured them into the big pot in the same way.
The space was small, the heat was steaming, and he obviously felt the temperature inside rising, Shi Dayong felt that it was almost over, and called Ruimin to send in a bucket of cold water, and mixed the water in the big basin to the right temperature one by one, and Shi Dayong carefully carried Shi Youtian into the basin.
Following the light coming from the gap, Shi Dayong clearly saw that his father was as thin as firewood, and his original body of more than 100 catties was now probably more than 70 catties, and he was fluttering in his arms, feeling that he was not as heavy as a big child.
Rubbing his father's back, he clearly felt the skeleton supports, and the ribs were protruding one by one, his father's appearance was like a human skeleton diagram hanging on the wall of the infirmary, Shi Dayong's heart was sour, the bridge of his nose was even more sour, his eyes were hot, and tears were dripping into the basin.
Wash all over the body, change the water and rinse it off, and then wipe off the water stains on Shi Youtian's body and put it back in the quilt.
Here Shi Dayong and Ruimin dismantled the small bathing room together, and over there Sun Xiufang took out a clean change of clothes for Shi Youtian to put on, and when everything was cleaned up, Shi Dayong took out his scissors and shaving tools to clean Shi Youtian's head.
After taking a good bath, Shi Youtian also felt relaxed and comfortable, afraid that he would catch a cold, his hair had already been dried by Sun Xiufang with a big towel, and it was unkempt and sticking to his head.
Shi Youtian couldn't sit still for a long time, Shi Dayong raised his chin at Ruimin with a tool in his hand, "Ruimin, you go to bed and help your father." ”
"Medium!" Ruimin obediently turned over to the bed, hugged his father's upper body in his arms, Shi Dayong wrapped a towel around his father's neck, this should be the last time to cut his father's hair, Shi Dayong cut it very seriously, every strand of hair, he put it on the newspaper next to him.
The hair and beard were neatly cleaned, the little old man looked much more refreshed, Shi Youtian looked back and forth in front of the mirror, and he was very satisfied in his heart, and he was willing to walk like this.
Away from his hometown for so long, Ruimin occasionally misses his brothers in his hometown, and he will go home tomorrow, he wants to bring some gifts to his brothers, under the eaves are the walnuts and black dates he picked some time ago, the black dates are dried, and there are half a bag of walnuts, the walnuts are all green, and there are more than half a bag of dried products, Ruimin wants to take this, but unfortunately the family will not dry persimmons, otherwise you can bring some persimmons back.
Ruimin found two bags, poured out more than half of them, turned them on with his hands, thought about it, and was afraid that the rest would not be enough for him to eat, so he poured some back.
Going home tomorrow, there are still not so many people sitting in the cab, but Ruimin has to go back, his father is leaving, and when his son can't help but send the last ride, so he
You can only sit in the back of the car.
As for Wang Ying, her body is already very heavy after more than seven months of belly, and An An, An An can squeeze in the cab with her grandmother, but Wang Ying, an adult, can't squeeze in, if she is allowed to sit in the back car, nearly a thousand miles away, wind and sun, plus bumps, I am afraid that she and the child in her belly will not be able to bear it. However, as the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, if Wang Ying doesn't go back and is afraid that the old family will gossip, after thinking about it, Wang Ying's safety will prevail, Wang Ying is pregnant with his child and may be his son, so he has to be protected.
After dinner, Shi Dayong discussed with his parents: "Dad, mother, my car, the cab is too small to sit so many people, Yingzi is like this, if you bump all the way on the rear car, your body will not be able to support it, and you won't go back tomorrow?" After speaking, Shi Dayong carefully observed the expressions of his parents.
For the child in Wang Ying's belly, Shi Youtian and his family also had great hopes, that was their first grandson, of course, there could be no mistakes, Sun Xiufang immediately said: "Don't go back to her, let her raise the fetus at home, just look good at An An." ”
Shi Youtian agreed with Sun Xiufang's statement, and nodded in agreement: "No need for Wang Yinghui, no need." ”
His parents agreed, and Shi Dayong felt guilty while relieving his heart, alas! There's no way, fortunately, the customs of my hometown will be held on the third anniversary of people's departure, so let Yingzi go back and have a good snort.
Because he took a hot bath, this night, Shi Youtian slept more comfortably, and when he woke up, it was already bright, Wang Ying had already made breakfast, Shi Dayong saw that his father slept so soundly, and he was reluctant to call him, and he gave him warm egg custard in the pot, and he and his mother ate it first.
If you want to run a long distance today, the car has to be overhauled first, there are many things, Shi Dayong hurried back to the team after eating, first checked the car inside and out, and filled up the fuel tank, the team has its own gas station, the price is much cheaper than the outside, even if this tank of oil is not enough to run back and forth, it can save a lot of money in a single trip.
After checking that there was no omission, Shi Dayong drove the car out of the gate and parked at the gate of the family home.
Shi Youtian had already woken up, took medicine, and didn't want to eat two more custards, swallowing something was too painful for him, it was simply a crime, and he was about to leave for home, this belief supported his mental state better, he was dressed and waited to leave, hearing the voice of Shi Dayong coming back, he was anxious to get out of bed, "Quick, Dayong is back, let's go... Walk. ”
Shi Dayong hurriedly walked two steps, supported his father, and helped his father put on his shoes: "Are my mother and Ruimin ready?" ”
"Alright, alright, it's all done."
"Ruimin, okay, you can transport the things up first." Shi Dayong took out his cotton coat from the cabinet and handed it to Ruimin, who was puzzled: "Big brother, it's only been a few months, what are you doing with a cotton coat, you can't wear it." ”
"If you want to take it, you will take it, and you will know when the time comes." Shi Dayong didn't want to explain, so he directly picked up Shi Youtian and walked outside the house.
Wang Ying held An An with one hand, and sent her with a big belly with the other, she knew that her father-in-law was leaving, I was afraid that I would never see him again, and I couldn't go back to send the old man on the last journey, she was actually very guilty in her heart, looking at her father-in-law and mother-in-law, her eyes were unconsciously red, she held Sun Xiufang's hand: "Niang ......" has a thousand words in her heart, but she doesn't know what to say, she can't say that you will come back when your father is gone, your father is still alive now, so isn't that a curse person, even if a clear-eyed person looks at the old man is a matter of the past few days, The same cannot be said for that.
"Alas......" Sun Xiufang patted Wang Ying's hand: "Take care of yourself, take care of yourself and your children, and I will serve you again when you are in confinement." ”
"Hmm." Wang Ying choked up: "Mother, you pay more attention to your body." ”
An An is very sensible, knowing that her grandparents are going back to their hometown when they get on the bus, so she holds her little fat hand and says goodbye to her grandparents: "Goodbye grandpa, goodbye grandma, come and play when you have time." ”
Come and play when you have time. This sentence is a common phrase used by adults in the family courtyard, no matter who goes to be a guest, the host will basically say this sentence when leaving, so An An remembered that when he sent guests to his own house, An An also said so.
When such a big little bean ding, for the first time, politely said the sentence 'I have time to play', the coquettish childish words caused people to laugh, and even pinched her little fat cheeks and praised her: "An An, how can you be so capable." ”
Don't look at An Anxiao, she also knows that it is good to be praised by others, and after that, this sentence is still very high in An An's mouth, but whenever there is a guest at home, she has to say something like this at the end when she says goodbye: Come and play when you have time.
Hearing her granddaughter say this, Sun Xiufang, who was about to get into the car, smiled, she squatted down, hugged An An, pinched her granddaughter's little nose, and looked loving: "Okay, grandma will come to play when she is free."
Shi Dayong moved the backrest of the co-pilot back, used the back wall as a fulcrum, so that the seat formed a 60-degree slope, and then put a quilt on it, so that his father could recline on the seat, and when Shi Youtian was settled, Sun Xiufang got into the car, squeezed the seat next to Shi Youtian's leg, and reluctantly sat down.
Shi Dayong saw that all the preparations were done, and Ruimin also climbed into the back car bucket and stood up, and then started the fire.
The car moved forward slowly, Shi Dayong poked his head out and waved his hand at Wang Ying: "Yingzi, go back." ”
"Hmm." Wang Ying nodded and shouted worriedly: "Dayong, be careful on the road, pay attention to safety." ”
Every time Shi Dayong went out, Wang Ying was not at ease, he was told by thousands of instructions that he must pay attention to safety on the road.
The car went away little by little, until it turned the corner and could no longer see a shadow, Wang Ying took An An's hand and went home.
The car drove up, gradually driving faster and faster, at the beginning, Ruimin stood in the carriage, and the heart to enjoy the scenery of the rapid retreat, a long time, standing tired, just sat down to rest, with the bump of the car, Ruimin's sleepy insect turned upside down, he fell asleep, just fell asleep and felt cold, confused, he pulled around him, just caught the cotton coat that the eldest brother let him bring, he closed his eyes and pulled on his body, warm and warm until lunch.
