After a busy month for more than a month, Shi Youtian breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally could take a rest.

Shi Youtian sat on the chair in the hall, smoking a dry cigarette, he looked at the bags of grain piled up in the house, the smile on his face did not dissipate for a long time, having food is equivalent to having money, there is hope. Shi Youtian was happy in his heart, there had never been so much food at home, he specially instructed Ercheng and Sanfu to pull wheat to get two bags of white noodles back, steamed a few pots of pure white flour steamed buns, and drank several meals of white noodles, and the family had a good meal.

The food is placed in the room of the old couple, and as long as they open their eyes every day and see the piles of full grain, the old couple will have confidence in their hearts. In the evening, blowing out the oil lamp, Shi Youtian coughed a few times, and discussed with Sun Xiufang in a hoarse voice: "Da Yongniang, I think so, after the remaining wheat is left for export, see which day you will be free, let the second child take the third child to the grain station to sell it, exchange it for money to save up, and when the money is enough, take the time to set up a few more rooms, and see the sons grow into young men one by one, marrying relatives and saying that daughters-in-law are all things in front of me, isn't there a saying that there is a plane tree at home, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to attract the golden phoenix." We don't need to attract the golden phoenix, as long as we can attract the finches who don't think our family is poor. ”

"Okay, you are in charge of our family, and you can do whatever you say." In the dark, Sun Xiufang turned sideways, looked at Shi Youtian in the faint moonlight, and said with some worry: "I said, in charge, why have you been coughing a lot lately, seeing that people have also lost weight, and you are tired of harvesting wheat." ”

Shi Youtian coughed again before saying: "It's been a while, I always feel uncomfortable in my throat and eyes as if something is blocked, I always want to cough, but I can't cough anything, I feel like I pull my throat when I eat, I choke on it and panic when I do it, and I can't swallow it even if I order soup." ”

"Hey, let's go to the hospital one day." Sun Xiufang propped up half of her body, frowned and said uneasily: "I said, I have seen that you have been eating thinly recently, and you have eaten small bites." ”

"Look at it, my own body knows by myself, it's okay, maybe I've eaten too many pickles, go to sleep." Shi Youtian rolled over, turned his back to Sun Xiufang, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep. In fact, he has been uncomfortable for a while, in addition to eating unsmoothly, the sternum still hurts when he pulls it, but he has endured not to see, it is not so easy to see a doctor in the city, and he has not seen the doctor, he began to spend money to register, and then this and that check, a trip to the hospital to turn down, there is no hundred children and eighty yuan can not come out, we Zhuang people, work in the field all day and night, the physical exercise is great, how sick can it be? Over the years, if there is a pain or an itch, it has passed.

In the morning, Sun Xiufang cooked two kinds of rice, boiled a large pot of vegetables, slipped the mixed noodles, and rolled out a dose of pure white noodles. The noodles are good, and a big bowl full of them is served to Shi Youtian, the body of the house is not good, so you have to eat something good to make up for it, and the rest is just a small bowl for Chunmiao to eat, and the others drink confusedly, and eat pickles on the nest.

During these days, Shi Youtian's throat was uncomfortable, he stubbornly thought that he was eating more pickles, so these days, he tried not to eat or eat less pickles, there is a saying in the village, it is: If you want to be hungry, it is still pepper salt. Translated, it means: What is the best thing to eat? It's still the most satisfying spicy and salty dish.

I haven't eaten pickles for a few days, Shi Youtian feels very dull in his mouth, and he feels hungry when he looks at the sauce beans in the bowl.

Sun Xiufang pickled pickles well, especially the sauce beans she covered, which is a must, and it is indispensable to accompany the meal at home every day.

The method of sauce beans in C County is different from other places, and the main ingredients here are soybeans and watermelon. After the soybeans are cooked, they are coated in a layer of flour, fermented, and the beans are evenly covered with a layer of mold, and dried in the sun for later use. The watermelon is simply removed from the outermost thin layer of green skin, and the remaining green skin and red flesh are mixed with fermented soybeans and ingredients, put into a clean earthen pot, seal the mouth of the can, and expose it to the sun. Stir once a day when you move out in the morning and back indoors in the evening to protect it from the rain. In this way, the whole process of stirring, sealing, and exposure takes more than a month to complete. The watermelon sauce beans are red and bright in color, the beans are oily, and the sweetness of the watermelon blends with the sauce aroma of soybeans, and the taste is very mellow.

Shi Youtian took a sip of white noodles, but he didn't control his hand, and put a sauce bean in his mouth. The soybeans with rich sauce and salty and spicy sauce are the most delicious to eat.

Shi Youtian squinted his eyes and tasted the soy beans in his mouth, happy as if he had eaten dragon liver and phoenix gall, as soon as the chopsticks opened, he didn't control himself, he simply opened up to eat, eating and eating, a bean was not chewed and stuck in his throat, he drank several mouthfuls of noodle soup and didn't go down, but it was really uncomfortable to get stuck in his throat, Shi Youtian wanted to cough it out, he tilted his head, avoided the dining table, coughed loudly a few times, the thing didn't cough out and didn't say, the vibration rib pit still hurt, Shi Youtian swallowed it again, still couldn't swallow it, it was too uncomfortable to go up or down, Shi Youtian decided to cough it out, he took a breath and coughed vigorously.

The head coughed several times, Sun Xiufang hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, walked behind Shi Youtian and patted him on the back: "What's wrong, his father?" ”

Shi Youtian didn't speak, he saved up a lot of energy, closed his eyes and coughed violently, he really felt that something was squirting out, and before he could see what it was, he heard Sun Xiufang's sad and frightened voice ringing in his ears: "His father!" What's wrong with you, why are you vomiting blood? Oh my God! What the hell?! ”

Shi Youtian opened his eyes, looked at the ground, and really saw a pool of bright red blood on the ground, he couldn't believe it, and looked at Sun Xiufang hesitantly: "This is...... I coughed? ”

Sun Xiufang was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, she trembled and stroked Shi Youtian's chest, her lips trembled: "Dad, where are you uncomfortable, you tell me." ”

The mother's exclamation woke up several sons who were concentrating on eating, and they pulled their heads out of their rice bowls, and when they saw that their father really vomited blood, they were all frightened, and threw the nest in their hands on the table, and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Daddy! What's wrong with you? ”

"Daddy! Father! ”

"Why did Dad vomit blood, but what can I do?"

The buzzing sound in his ears made Shi Youtian dizzy, he waved his hand weakly, and said weakly: "Help me up, I'll lie down." Before he could finish speaking, he felt that his eyes were dark, and then he didn't know anything.

"Dad'——!" Sun Xiufang tried to hold Shi Youtian who fell in his arms, but she was too thin and unprepared, so she didn't hold it at once, and the old couple fell to the side together, but fortunately, several people were around Shi Youtian, and several people saw that it was not good, so they hurriedly reached out to catch it, so they didn't let their father and mother fall.

Sun Xiufang's whole body was flustered, her face was pale, and her whole body trembled involuntarily. Shaking Shi Youtian shouted vigorously: "Be in charge!" Boss! What's wrong with you? Wake up! Wake up! She pinched Shi Youtian's people a few times with her thumb, and finally saw Shi Youtian's eyelids tremble a few times, and she reacted a little.

Usually the family is the head of the house, Sun Xiufang just listen, the head of the house has fallen, she doesn't know what to do, her eyes for help swept around the faces of the five sons, the fifth and sixth are still young and useless, the fourth doesn't ask anything all day long, and can't count on it, and finally she locks her eyes on Ercheng: "Second, second, now you are the biggest, what do you say to do?" ”

The eyes of the family all looked at him, and Ercheng felt a great responsibility, but fortunately, everyone knew that if he was sick, he would go to the hospital to see a doctor, he stabilized his mind and said, "Mother, we have to send my father to the hospital quickly." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Sent to the hospital. Sun Xiufang woke up like a dream, she stood up on her knees and ran into the house: "Mother go get the money." ”

Ercheng held Shi Youtian's upper body in his arms and instructed Sanfu: "Third child, you go and arrange our land and pull it over." After speaking, he looked at He Xiaoxia again: "Chun Miao Niang, you go and pick up two quilts and come over to spread the car." ”

"Hey!" Sanfu received the instructions of the second brother, turned his head and ran to the ground row car, just after harvesting the wheat, the ground row car was sorted out and placed on the side of the wheat stack, and it could be used directly by pulling it over.

"Hey!" He Xiaoxia followed closely behind her mother-in-law and went to the house where her father-in-law and mother-in-law lived to hug the quilt.

The two of them ran to prepare things in a hurry, and Wusheng and Liuquan were also so frightened that the six gods had no master, and they circled around his father, muttering vigorously: "What can you do with this?" What the hell is going on? ”

Simin squatted beside Shi Youtian with a gloomy face and didn't say anything, he didn't want his father to have something, some time ago, my father said, when the eldest brother comes back and let the eldest brother take him out, what if my father wants to have a three-long and two-short business?

"The car is coming, the car is coming! The fifth and sixth get out of the way! Sanfu pulled the car and set it up.

Sun Xiufang ran into the house, first tremblingly touched the key from under the pillow, and then tremblingly opened the big wooden box at the head of the bed, took out a cloth bag from it, and put it in his arms, about to run out, turning in a hurry, and almost collided with He Xiaoxia.

"Mother, Ercheng let me hold two quilts."

"You get it yourself in bed." Sun Xiufang hurriedly ran out: "Second child, okay, let's go, let's go, go to the hospital!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

While talking, He Xiaoxia ran out with two thin quilts, Liuquan hurriedly took a bed from his sister-in-law and put it on the ground row car, Ermin picked up his father horizontally, gently put Shi Youtian on the car, and covered his father with a thin quilt. Picked up the rope in front of the car and hung it on his shoulder, grabbed the handlebar with both hands and began to run out of the door, Sanfu and the other four people followed on both sides of the car to help push the car, Sun Xiufang said to He Xiaoxia: "You take Chunmiao to look after the house." Before the words could be spoken, the man had already run out of the gate.
