This pack of medicine is Shi Youtian's last bit of hope, Sun Xiufang attaches great importance to it as a baby, which is three times a day, what time to eat, which is four times a day, when to take it, she firmly remembers it in her heart, even if it is the middle of the night, as long as it is time to take medicine, she can wake up on time and wait for Shi Youtian to take medicine.

In this situation at home, it is not appropriate for Shi Dayong to go to duty again, he discussed with the captain, changed shifts with colleagues who ran short distances, went out early every day, finished the day's work, and came back as early as possible in the afternoon.

Four months later, what worries Sun Xiufang is that even if Shi Youtian takes medicine in batches, but his illness not only does not improve at all, but it has become very difficult to drink saliva.

In fact, the real situation is that Sun Xiufang thought that Shi Youtian was sleeping, but in fact Shi Youtian had begun to fall into a coma.

The old man's situation made Sun Xiufang anxious, she caught Shi Dayong, who had just come back from work, and asked repeatedly: "Boss, why is your father sleeping these days, ignoring people when he shouts, and he can't eat, so he lives on a little potion and water, so what can he do." ”

As long as he gets up together every day, the first thing Shi Dayong does is to go to his father's bed to ask for warmth, help his father take urine, wash his face, he has always seen his father's appearance, but he has no choice, he hates himself for not being a doctor, and he can't stop the cruel footsteps of the disease.

In the past four months, he not only gave his father the medicine prescribed by Liang Ruiyuan, but also asked around if there was a Chinese medicine doctor who saw this disease, but whenever there was a little information, he took his father to a trip, the farthest place was in a temple in the mountains, the car could only drive to the bottom of the mountain, and the rest of the way was all up to him to climb up step by step with his old father on his back. I didn't drink less Chinese medicine, and I didn't stop taking Western medicine, even so, the result is still the same.

Shi Dayong was very heartbroken, watching his father walk into death as a child, that kind of powerlessness and helplessness was a bone-breaking torture for him.

But Sun Xiufang obviously felt that Shi Youtian was already ineffective in medicine, but she didn't want to believe it.

Shi Dayong handed the food in his hand to Wang Ying, held Sun Xiufang's arm, and comforted him softly: "Mother, don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

Shi Youtian's whole person has been thinned into a skeleton, and his head is like a skull covered with a piece of skin, because of the loss of nutrients under the skin, the wrinkles on his face are even more obvious. Although the man is sick, he does not delay the growth of his hair, and in four months, even if he cuts it once in the middle, his hair and beard are still very long, and the gray hair grows unkempt on his head, which adds to the sadness that life is about to pass.

"Daddy! Father! I am back. Shi Dayong leaned down and called softly in Shi Youtian's ear.

Hearing his son's voice, Shi Youtian tried his best to open his eyes, he was so sick that it was even a little difficult to speak, his empty pupils did not have a trace of brilliance, his pale lips were slightly pursed, his dull eyes looked at Shi Dayong for a while, and suddenly began to struggle to sit up from the bed, the torture of the illness caused him to lose his vitality, his wrinkled face began to distort due to pain, as if every movement was a huge torture, he breathed rapidly, his voice was weak, and he kept muttering: "Big... Old... Boss, back... Go home... Home, home, ......"

"Dad, what do you want to do? I'm coming, I'm coming, do you want to sit up? Shi Dayong hurriedly held his father's shoulder, and sat directly on the edge of the bed with his own back, letting his father lean into his arms.

"Old man, old man, what do you say?" Sun Xiufang bent down and put her ear to Shi Youtian's mouth, trying to listen to what his wife said.

"Go home... I'm going back... Home,... Let's go home. Shi Youtian had a premonition that his life was coming to an end, he was afraid that he would die outside, he wanted to go home as soon as possible, he tilted his head back, tried his best to see Shi Dayong's face, and prayed: "Boss, send... Send Daddy home. ”

Shi Dayong heard his father's words clearly, and tears burst out of his eyes instantly, his father knew that he was going to die, he wanted to stay in his old home.

"Hmmm! Well! Shi Dayong nodded heavily.

"Tomorrow will go, tomorrow... Dad is afraid that he will not be able to hold on. ”

"Hmmm! I'll leave tomorrow. Shi Dayong couldn't speak with tears like rain, just nodded blindly.

"Huh---" Shi Youtian breathed a long sigh of relief, relieved, he raised his arm, Sun Xiufang saw it, and hurriedly grasped it.

"......" Shi Youtian had a smile on his face: "Clean up... Stuff, tomorrow we're... Let's go home. ”

"Old man......" Sun Xiufang was about to say something, but Shi Youtian shook his head slightly: "I'm homesick, go back to our own house." ”

Fortunately, Shi Dayong came back early today, look at the time, the logistics have not gotten off work yet, if he goes back to his hometown tomorrow, he still needs to ask the captain for leave, and the most important thing is that this time he goes back to his hometown, he needs to drive his father back, Dad's body, if he reverses and waits for the car, he is afraid that his father will have to breathe halfway.

Standing at the door of the captain's office, Shi Dayong was still a little apprehensive in his heart, this is different from going to L County, L County is a short distance, as long as it is more than 200 miles, it is different to return to his hometown, across three provinces, nearly a thousand miles away, I am afraid that the captain will not agree.

"Bang! Nation! Nation! Shi Dayong knocked on the door.

"Come in!" It's still that deep voice.

"Captain ......" During this time, Shi Dayong was a little embarrassed to find the captain again and again.

"Dayong, what is it today?" The situation of Shi Dayong's family, he has always heard about it, the old man has not been very good, looking at Shi Dayong's appearance, his eyes are slightly red, and there is water vapor, obviously he has cried, he guessed some, and asked hesitantly: "Is the old man bad?" ”

Shi Dayong nodded and shook his head: "Captain, my father, this time it's really not good, I think he is just the past few days, captain, I have to trouble you, my father wants to go back to his hometown, he doesn't want to die outside, I can't even satisfy his last wish, so ......"

Without waiting for Shi Dayong to finish speaking, Ren Bingfeng had already guessed Shi Dayong's thoughts, and said directly: "So, do you want to send the old man back in a car?" ”

"Yes, captain, my dad can't stand the upside down on the road like this, I have to ask you for help, I want to use the car." Afraid that the captain would not agree, Shi Dayong was a little nervous, he stared at the captain's mouth, his eyes were not instantaneous, lest he hear the captain's rebuttal.

"Alas!" Ren Bingfeng sighed, "Go ahead." ”

The captain agreed, Shi Dayong put his mind at ease, and bowed to Ren Bingfeng happily: "Thank you, captain!" Thank you, Captain! When I come back, I will work hard to make up for the shift I was pulled down. ”

"But?" Ren Bingfeng was a little embarrassed, his brows frowned slightly, he knew that Shi Dayong's family was in difficulty, but he couldn't help but say this, there are so many people in the unit, and they are always special to one person, so that people will know, I am afraid that someone will gossip.

Shi Dayong raised his heart again, and looked at Ren Bingfeng with worried eyes: "Captain? ”

"Dayong, you see that your way back to your hometown is relatively far, this oil money?"

"I'll take it! I'll take it! I'll take it! Captain, I'm already very grateful for letting me use the car, how can I ask the team to pay for me with gas. ”

After asking for leave, Shi Dayong walked back non-stop, he will go back to his hometown tomorrow, there are so many things that have not been done, he has to go back to prepare, just now holding the old father's head, found that his father's hair is too long, and he has been in bed for a long time, although he also cleans up his father every once in a while, but he still can't avoid the smell of his father, he wants to go back and give his father a good bath, repair his hair and beard.

Ruimin is heartless, his father has been sick for so long, he is like a shopkeeper, at most he can care about a few words, in his own words: My eyes are not good, my mother doesn't need me.

Ruimin went out to wander around when he was fine, but he didn't come home empty-handed, starting from the yellowing of the persimmons, he looked at the persimmons little by little ripe, and when the persimmons in the autumn were ripe, and the mountains were all over the red days, he went out with a basket every day, brought back a basket of persimmons today, a basket of black dates tomorrow, and a basket of walnuts may be carried back the day after tomorrow.

The persimmons on the mountain are eaten casually, but you can't pick them casually, that is also planted by the people, this year, everyone's life is not very good, the people are still waiting to collect the mountain goods and sell some money, you are like your own things, a basket of baskets to bring home, what do you want people to catch?

Mainly this persimmon, eat and eat not much, the family will not dry persimmon cakes, Ruimin took back the persimmon, eat not as fast as it rotten, often not finished eating, it has been ripe to catch can't be caught, gradually grow green hair, can only be thrown, good things are wasted, throw up are distressed.

Ruimin didn't do it right, Wang Ying wouldn't talk about him, she didn't want to offend people, so she pointed to the rotten persimmon and took Shi Dayong behind her back to say.

Shi Dayong frowned and walked around the yard, and felt that it was impossible not to say it, so he talked to Ruimin, but he didn't expect Ruimin to still have a word, nonsense and nonsense, he said: "Big brother, there are many on the mountain, I see that some persimmons are ripe and fall to the ground, no one cares, that is blind is also blind, what happened when I picked some back?" ”

In terms of educating his younger brother, Shi Dayong is still very patient: "No, you see that we can't eat it, you see that you throw it out every day, don't you feel sorry for the persimmons, don't you feel sorry for the kung fu money you carried back?" ”

That's what he said, Ruimin thought about it, and also felt that the eldest brother said that reason, "That's okay, I won't pick persimmons in the future, anyway, I've eaten enough, I just pick walnuts and black dates, big brother, why can't I dry this persimmon, it's rotten when it's sunburned, it's better than black dates, just ignore it, and it will dry up in a few days." ”

"You can't pick walnuts and black dates, they are planted by the common people, and the people just want to collect and sell them for money, and the people don't plant them for you, you just eat a few, is it very popular for people to point to your nose and say don't let you pick them, we have to be conscious, you see how many people in our family homes have seen the sky and carried them home? We can't let people gossip about us. ”

"Okay, I don't pick it up, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up and drop it on the ground."

Pick it up, pick it up is not impossible, and after the people harvest the fruits on the mountain, there are always walnuts pulled down in the grass or something, at this time, the people in the family yard will be dispatched, everyone calls this picking up autumn, so that everyone will eat the fruit with peace of mind.

Ruimin agreed, but he didn't approve in his heart, and he said that I didn't pick it alone, so I didn't meet anyone on the mountain? So he carried Shi Dayong out as usual, but fortunately, walnuts and black dates grew tall, and he was not good enough, and he didn't pick much. Until one time, I almost got caught. That time, he finally just climbed to the tree, and was standing high and looking into the distance to enjoy the nearby scenery, and vaguely saw a few young people leading the dog to catch several walnut stealers, scaring a Ruimin, bald down the tree, and running away, this time he didn't say that his eyes were bad, and when he returned home, he was secretly glad that he ran fast, and he only restrained himself after that.
