The tree is 100 feet high, the leaves fall back to the roots, and after the person dies, he still has to be buried in the ancestral grave, or he still has to return to his hometown, to the place where he was born and lived. In Shi Youtian's eyes, his hometown is his own home, whether he is poor or broken, he and his child's mother are running it little by little, he is unwilling to give his life outside, he is afraid that his soul will not find a way home.

Listening to what his father said, Shi Dayong's heart was in a ball, although he clearly understood that what his father said was the truth, but he still didn't want to believe it: "Dad, what are you talking about, you will die and live wherever you go." ”

Shi Youtian waved his hand weakly: "Dayong, you don't have to be relieved of my heart anymore, people have lived to this extent, and my father understands everything." Speaking of this, Shi Youtian, who had never shed tears, burst down the embankment with tears: "Boss, dad can't rest assured, dad is leaving, what should you do brothers?" Originally, I discussed with your mother and planned to build a few more houses, but now, but now, but now, ......" Shi Youtian whimpered and couldn't go on, suddenly, he grabbed Shi Dayong's hand suddenly, like grasping a life-saving straw, and held it tighter and tighter: "Dayong Niang, you come here." He shouted Sun Xiufang.

Sun Xiufang hurriedly stood beside Shi Dayong, tears rippling, "Dad, I'm here, I'm here." ”

Shi Youtian took one of Sun Xiufang's hands, and his loving eyes lingered on Sun Xiufang's face, "Dayong, look, your mother is old, and she is willing to worry about your brother's affairs, but she doesn't have that ability, boss, the family affairs, my father will entrust it to you, you can't leave it alone!"

"Daddy! Father! Father! I'll take care of everything, I'll take the time to go back and build the house, Dad, don't talk about it, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, you just live well. Daddy's unwilling and desperate expression made Shi Dayong feel heartbreaking, he agreed repeatedly, and his head was fiercely pointed, because the amplitude was too large, and Shi Youtian's face was full of tears.

"I can't live......" The son agreed, Shi Youtian felt a little relieved, his clenched palm was released, his arm hung down to the bed, and a handful of old tears fell down the corners of his eyes, and in an instant, the pillow towel was wet.

"Daddy! Father! can live, you listen to me, we have medicine, and the doctor prescribed a large package of medicine. Shi Dayong, who was anxious to comfort his father, suddenly felt blessed, grabbed a large package of medicine prescribed by Liang Ruiyuan and showed it to Shi Youtian, "Dad, you see, there are so many medicines, the doctor said, this is a new medicine newly developed in their hospital, specifically for this disease." Shi Dayong said, and took the medicine prescribed by his hometown, put them side by side, and showed Shi Youtian, "Dad, you see, it's different from our hometown, the doctor said, as long as you take the medicine on time, you can control the condition and be saved." ”

"Really?" Shi Youtian was skeptical.

"Really?" Sun Xiufang was also suspicious, "You kid, why didn't you say it yesterday?" ”

Shi Dayong was also secretly complaining about why he didn't remember to say this yesterday, and he continued to make up nonsense: "Really! It's true! Yesterday, the doctor just said that my father's illness was not good, which scared me, and I was sad, and I forgot what the doctor said later in the back of my head. ”

After Shi Dayong finished speaking, he looked at his parents with a determined face, and his serious expression would believe it no matter who read it.

"That's good, that's good." Sun Xiufang carefully hugged the medicine into her arms, "In the future, I will give your father medicine on time, boss, tell me how to take this medicine?" ”

"Mother, this, the red letter, three times a day, two grains at a time, this black letter, one grain at a time four times a day, this blue letter, three times a day, two grains at a time......"

Sun Xiufang is illiterate, but she can distinguish colors, she followed Shi Dayong's prompts, and stacked all kinds of medicines, but she was afraid that she would put them wrong, "Dayong, you can show me, is it right?" ”

"Yes, mother, that's it."

Shi Youtian is not as easy to fool as Sun Xiufang, he still doesn't believe it, but looking at Shi Dayong's expression, it doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, forget it, don't fight with Dayong, just treat what Dayong said as true, and treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

When everything was cleaned up, Sun Xiufang realized that Ruimin was not at home, she turned around inside and outside the house, did not see Ruimin's shadow, frowned, and asked Wang Ying, who was preparing lunch: "Yingzi, where is the fourth?" ”

Wang Ying was picking vegetables unwillingly, and the scene of her father-in-law holding Dayong's hand and begging Dayong to continue to take care of the family in her hometown kept flashing in her mind, Wang Ying was unwilling, and she did not approve of her father-in-law's education method, her father-in-law has always raised his children as sheep in the pen, rather than trying to train his children into eagles.

But at this time, she can't express any contradictory opinions, she can't let the old man close his eyes, it's just that she feels a lot of pressure on her shoulders, Shi Dayong is usually a filial child who cares about the family, just look at it, in the future, he will stick to his hometown more wholeheartedly.

"Yingzi!" Seeing that Wang Ying ignored her, Sun Xiufang couldn't help but amplify her voice again, "Yingzi, where did the fourth child go?" ”

"Ahh This time Wang Ying heard it, and she quickly raised her head.

"I said, what about the fourth? What are you thinking about, I called you several times and you didn't hear it! Sun Xiufang was dissatisfied, and her tone was a little heavy.

"Oh, Ruimin is out, he goes out every day after eating, I don't know where he went, but he will be back when the meal comes." Wang Ying saw that the sun had already hung to the top, and it was not too early to calculate the time, so he lowered his head again, and the movements of his subordinates accelerated.

The rabbit meat stewed the day before yesterday is still a little, fortunately, the weather is not too hot now, Wang Ying boils the meat every day, and puts the pot seat in the cold water that comes back at night, she smelled it just now, it is not bad, it is not as fresh as it has just been cooked, Wang Ying cut two potatoes, and planned to mix them into the meat to stew together, so that even if it is a dish, and then fry a large plate of green vegetables, it is still not enough to eat, she thought for a while, well, let Dayong go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a few pieces of tofu and come back, stew a big bowl, so it is almost the same.

It is said that half the size of the child, eat the poor old man, Wang Ying really has a deep understanding of this sentence, it stands to reason that Ruimin's age is not half the size of the child, he is almost thirty years old, how to eat like a greedy young man, Shi Dayong is strange to be able to eat, this Ruimin which meal is the amount of two Shi Dayong's meals, think about the four brothers in the old family, if they all eat like this, it is difficult to get rich.

Wang Ying recalled that when she was in her hometown, the rice she made was first scooped into the bucket with a scoop, and then carried to the outside table and served in a bowl.

As soon as the meal was ready, Ruimin really stepped on the meal and came back, he pushed open the door, just in time to see his mother helping to bring the bowl to the house. Dad and mother are back, I haven't seen my father and mother for two days, Ruimin really thinks a little, seeing his mother's figure, he is eager to share his discoveries in the past few days with his mother, "Mother, you are back." Ruimin shouted, ran to Sun Xiufang's side, and said as he walked: "Mother, let me tell you, there is a mountain in front, and the mountain is full of persimmons, but there are too many, I asked my sister-in-law, eat as you like, don't want money." ”

Wang Ying heard the words next to him, but he didn't say anything, but frowned, and said in his heart that Ruimin is not lacking in heart, his father has such a big illness, shouldn't he care about his father's illness at the first time, what is persimmon for?

Ruimin didn't realize that what he did was inappropriate, and still chattered, "Mother, let me tell you, there are walnuts on the mountain, and black dates, you know that black dates are not, they are so big, like big broad beans, and now they are still green, astringent, and inedible, and my sister-in-law said that they will be black when they are ripe." ”

"Ahem." Shi Dayong was slightly stunned, coughed, and reminded him: "Ruimin, Dad is back, where did you go today, and I didn't see you when I came back." ”

"It's okay, I'll go out for a walk, oh, Daddy is back." Only then did Ruimin pay attention to Shi Youtian lying on the bed, "Dad, I'll tell you......" Ruimin walked to the bed and wanted to show off what he had seen and heard with Shi Youtian in the past few days, looked down and saw Dad's sallow face, a haggard face that had lost a whole circle, swallowed back the second half of the words, and finally said what should be said: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" What did the doctor say? ”

Sun Xiufang put the steamed egg custard on the cabinet and said, "The doctor said that he was prescribed a new medicine, and he said that it would be good to control it." "Although there is still rabbit meat, but it has been several days, it is not too fresh, I am afraid that Shi Youtian, a patient, will not be able to stand it, so I didn't dare to give it to him, and specially gave him steamed egg custard.

This fourth, when he was young, because of the family's financial constraints, he did not try his best to see a doctor, causing the child to become like this, Shi Youtian and his wife felt that they owed him, usually at home, among several children, in addition to the sixth Ruiquan, the most eccentric is him, sometimes, Ruimin excuses his eyes are not good, lazy and not working, and the two of them also went by him, although, both of them know that Ruimin's eyes can not see except at night, and there is no big problem during the day, and it is true that he can't see clearly from a distance, and the impact of the near point is not great at all.

This child has a very low self-esteem in his hometown, and his brothers are reluctant to communicate more with each other, let alone relatives and neighbors, and he is even more reluctant to speak.

Shi Youtian is even more sure that his decision is correct, if this child stays in his hometown any longer, he will be wasted.

"Fourth, help your father up, and feed your father food." Sun Xiufang scooped up a spoonful of egg custard with a spoon, tried the heat on her lips, and motioned for Ruimin to help.

"Huh." Ruimin put his hand on Shi Youtian's back shoulder, made a little effort, lifted his father's upper body, Shi Dayong hurriedly pulled a quilt next to him, cushioned his waist, and waited for his father to sit firmly, Shi Dayong took the bowl in his mother's hand, "Mother, fourth, you go to eat, I'll feed it." ”

It's not that Shi Youtian can't eat by himself, but he is tired and can't hold the bowl, his trembling and leaking appearance is really distressing, and every time he eats a mouthful of food, he has to use his hand to go down his throat, Sun Xiufang and Shi Dayong look too uncomfortable, they would rather feed themselves little by little than let him eat by himself, so that he can also relax, instead of taking a bite, put down the bowl, go for a long time, and then pick up the bowl and take a bite
