Shi Youtian and his wife returned to the ward from the bathroom, and Ruimin lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but he didn't see Shi Dayong. Sun Xiufang helped Shi Youtian sit down on the edge of the bed and asked Ruimin, "What about your eldest brother." ”

Ruimin opened his eyes and didn't get up: "Big brother went to buy breakfast, let me tell you, mother, I'll squint for a while, I didn't fall asleep last night, I got up too early today, I'm sleepy this time, you call me when my big brother comes back." ”

"Then go to sleep." Sun Xiufang bent down to pick up the kettle and said to Shi Youtian: "I'll go fetch water." ”

In the morning, the boiling water room is the busiest green place, the entire inpatient department is here to receive water, Sun Xiufang came to the water room, there was a long queue in front of the door, and waited for ten minutes before it was her turn, there were too many things this morning, she was anxious and gossipy, took the water, and hurriedly went back.

Shi Dayong had already come back, he bought a bunch of food, fried noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, and brought a bowl of meat porridge to his father.

The poor family is rich, which means that no matter how frugal you are at home, you should be generous on the way, and you should spend what you should spend, and don't treat yourself badly.

Shi Dayong is not afraid of treating himself badly, he is afraid of treating his father and mother badly, especially his father is still a seriously ill patient, but the province still has to be saved, the food on the train is expensive is known to everyone, didn't he say, he can't eat and drink poorly, and he can't be poor if he can't calculate, Shi Dayong calculated, now buy more on the train and save more, anyway, the boiling water on the train doesn't cost money, when the time comes, he and Ruimin eat steamed buns and pickles, and his mother and father boil water to make fried noodles and eat steamed buns and eggs.

When Sun Xiufang returned to the ward, Shi Dayong fed Shi Youtian with a bowl, Ruimin was holding a big bun and eating Zhenghuan, seeing his mother coming back with a warm pot, he frowned, his face sank slightly, his eyes squinted at Ruimin and asked, "Mother, why don't you let Ruimin fight?" ”

"The fourth child doesn't know the place." Sensing Shi Dayong's dissatisfaction, Shi Youtian hurriedly excused the four people.

"Yes, the fourth child doesn't know the place, and besides, it's just a warm pot of water, and he can still be tired of his mother." Sun Xiufang took the teapot, poured a glass of water and handed it to Ruimin: "Just drink the water." ”

"Mother, I'll do it myself." Ruimin stuffed all the buns in his hand into his mouth and said, "Big brother, this white flour meat bun is really delicious." Ruimin held the teacup in one hand and grabbed a big bun in the other, and "woo" was a big mouthful.

When has the family eaten white flour meat buns, even for the New Year, my mother is not willing to make meat stuffed buns, at most she chops a pound of meat, mixed with several catties of cabbage or radish, and wraps a meal of dumplings, so how can it be regarded as meat dumplings, and you can't eat meat at all.

Today is really satisfying, the eldest brother bought so much, Ruimin is sincerely open to eat, watching the buns go down one by one, in the blink of an eye, the buns are half down, such a big person doesn't even have a meal like this, Shi Dayong looked at it and twitched in his heart, and said in his heart, brother, take it easy, don't support yourself. He picked up a bun, put the meat filling in the porridge, lived well, and fed it to Shi Youtian.

Finally full, the corners of Simin's mouth were shiny, he drank a large jar of water, patted his stomach, and said with satisfaction: "It's so full, but it can kill me, big brother, I have never eaten such delicious buns when I grow so big." ”

"Huh." Shi Dayong laughed dryly and did not speak.

"Dayong, you eat first, my mother will feed you." The way of eating the four people is like not grabbing. Sun Xiufang was also anxious, this kid didn't have any eyesight, didn't you see your eldest brother's face stiff?

Ruimin is such a big person, how can he not see the meaning of the eldest brother, but he should eat it if he doesn't see it, and he wants to save face? The stomach is going to suffer! There is no one else here at this time, and when the second brother comes in a while, if he takes it all, he won't be able to eat it, how does he know that these are all the food that Shi Dayong is going to take to eat on the road.

Shi Dayong scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Shi Youtian, and said, "Mother, you hurry up and eat, Dad is finished eating, let's not change hands." ”

"Oh." Sun Xiufang rummaged through the bag, didn't want to take the bun, took out a steamed bun, put it to her mouth and took a bite.

"Mother, don't eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns, there are so many." Shi Dayong put down the bowl, took out a bun from his bag, and replaced the steamed bun in Sun Xiufang's hand.

"My mother doesn't like to eat ......"

"Mother!" Shi Dayong raised his voice and disapprove: "We are all older, so we don't need you to save from the mouth of an old person." ”

"Mother eat, mother eat, boss, don't worry." Sun Xiufang hurriedly took a bite of the bun, and the flattering Chong Shi Dayong smiled: "Boss, don't say it, the buns you bought are really delicious." ”

"Daddy! Mother! I'm coming. Rui Quan took the lead in the door, grabbed Sun Xiufang's arm, put his face on his mother's shoulder, and sniffed: "Mother, what are you eating, Xiangxiang." ”

"Oh, the sixth son is here." When the youngest son came, Sun Xiufang was happy, and instinctively took two buns from the bag and put them on Ruiquan's hand: "Eat quickly, what your eldest brother bought, pure meat filling, is fragrant." ”

"Dad, mother, big brother." Rui Cheng, Rui Fu and Rui Sheng followed, Rui Sheng saw that his mother stuffed something into Rui Quan's hand again, and knew that Niang Tie would definitely open a small stove for Rui Quan, and he was displeased, and said half-jokingly: "Mother, I also eat, you are eccentric, just thinking about the sixth child." ”

"Both, both." Sun Xiufang simply picked up the whole bag, grabbed the bun and sent two by one.

The younger brothers all came to see him off, Shi Dayong was happy, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked a shallow smile, and he said hello: "It's all here." ”

Shi Youtian swallowed the last mouthful of porridge with difficulty, wiped his mouth, pouted his goatee and said, "Didn't you say that you don't need to send it all?" ”

"Daddy." Rui Quan's cheeks were bulging, and he chewed on the buns: "I'm afraid that you won't have anything to eat on the road, so I boiled a few eggs in the morning and brought them to you." ”

"This kid, with your eldest brother here, can you still starve us?" Sun Xiufang felt very relieved that this son was not in vain, and he could still think of their old couple.

"Hehe" Rui Quan smiled innocently: "I forgot." ”

In the morning, Rui Quan was afraid of delaying the delivery of his father, and he didn't wait for his sister-in-law to cook and came to the hospital with his brothers. Ruiquan felt that there was nothing better than the best thing in the world, he took three bites and five bites, and the two buns disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Liuquan was still unsatisfied, looking at the bag on the table, and then at Sun Xiufang: "Mother, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, yes." Sun Xiufang lowered her head and rummaged through her bag and found two: "There are only two left." ”

"Oh." Ruiquan took it but didn't continue to eat, the bun in Ruisheng's hand also went down, and when he saw Ruiquan pinching the bun and not eating, he wanted to go to Ruiquan's hand to take it: "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." ”

Rui Quan turned to the side and dodged Rui Sheng's hand: "Fifth brother, I left these two for Chunmiao." ”

Ruisheng was embarrassed to rob it, it was reserved for his little niece, how could he, an uncle, rob his niece of food.

"You guys eat, I'll keep it for Chunmiao." The brothers kept eating, and they didn't pay attention to Rui Cheng at all, and when they heard the second brother talking, the two brothers looked over, and sure enough, Rui Cheng pinched the two buns and didn't move at all.

Rui Quan also handed the two in his hand to Rui Cheng: "Second brother, you take it all, go back and give it to your sister-in-law and their mother to eat." ”

Ruimin was glad in his heart, fortunately he had a prescient reputation, and sure enough, there was not enough to eat.

Shi Dayong ate the rest of his father's bun skin first, picked up a steamed bun, broke it, sandwiched a few shredded pickles, and ate it with the water in the tea jar, seeing that the time was not early, he stood up: "Mother, I'll go to the doctor to settle the bill, you clean up the things, and let Ercheng take them back." ”

The car started slowly, Sun Xiufang lay on the window, and pushed the back of her hand forward a few times: "Second brother, don't send it, go to your house." ”

Shi Youtian stood up and poked his head out, hoarsely throated, and tried to amplify his voice: "Second brother, take care of the family, take care of the land." ”

The car drove away, and Sun Xiufang was still lying on the window, looking at his sons with an uneasy expression.

The road is quite smooth, from C county to Shangqiu and then to Zhengzhou, the time is not too long, each section of the road is a few hours, the most difficult is the distance from Zhengzhou to home, the train for a day and a night, good people sit down and feel tired, not to mention Shi Youtian, a critically ill patient, as soon as he got on the train, Shi Dayong gave Shi Youtian a sleeper ticket, so that Shi Youtian could reach the destination safely.

Finally arrived at the station, tired all the way, Shi Youtian was obviously depressed. There is still a section of road not close to home, and everyone usually relies on walking on this road, looking at my father's appearance, even if he is holding him, he can't walk.

Shi Dayong felt sorry for his father, helped his father sit down in the waiting room, and said, "Mother, fourth, you look at your father, I'll go back and borrow a car to pick you up." ”

There is a small jeep in the team, it is the captain's special car, Shi Dayong wants to see if the car is not there, borrow it if he is there, if he is not there, he will drive his big car, that is, the cab of his big car is small, and only two people can sit down, the big deal is to let his mother and father squeeze in the cab, Ruimin had to sit in the car body with grievances.

Shi Dayong trotted all the way, first went home, ready to say hello to Wang Ying first, he planned all the way, cleaned up the living room out of two places, he went to the single dormitory in the team to borrow two beds, let his father and mother live in the living room first, and their family still slept in that half room, so that everyone was more convenient.

Since Shi Dayong left to return to his hometown, Wang Ying has been very worried, his father-in-law is critically ill, since he said that he is critically ill, it must not be a minor illness. Most of the old family members have a similar attitude towards illness, carrying a small illness and a small central one, and taking some medicine to take one by one if it is more serious, seeing that it is really not good, and it is carried to the hospital to see a doctor when they can't climb, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is also the truth.

Worry is worried, now she can't help anything in this situation, she can only wait, every day after serving An An, after the house is cleaned up, she sits under the eaves to do some needlework, the family's clothes and shoes have to be sewn out by her stitch and thread, Shi Dayong's clothes are better, two seasons of work clothes a year are issued by the public, what she has to do is underwear and underwear or something.

Wang Ying was working in her hands, praying in her heart that her father-in-law would not have any serious illness.
