People are always afraid of death, and they all hope that they can live healthily, after listening to Shi Dayong's words, Shi Youtian's heart ignited the hope of life again, and his mental state is much better, and when he chats with Shi Dayong again, he can still bring a smile on his face from time to time.

Today is Ruisheng's class, at noon, Ruisheng carried a basket to deliver food to his parents, just arrived at the door of the ward, he heard a familiar male voice and his father and mother talking.

Could it be that the big brother is here? Rui Sheng was overjoyed, pushed open the door, and sure enough, it was Shi Dayong, who greeted happily: "Big brother, you are back." ”

In the past few days, Shi Youtian has lost his temper and does not cooperate with the doctor to treat it well, seeing that the fallen leaves are dying like frost, Ruisheng is panicked in his heart, and persuaded his father several times, but what he said has no strength at all, and his father does not listen at all.

"Ruisheng, come to deliver food, what are you doing?" Looking at the basket that Ruisheng was carrying, Shi Dayong knew that his younger brother was here to deliver food, and the utilization rate of this basket at home was the highest.

"The millet porridge boiled by the second sister-in-law, my father couldn't eat it, so I brought a few mixed bread buns to my mother."

Shi Dayong took the basket in Wusheng's hand, lifted the cover cloth and took a look, in the basket, a black porcelain jar, next to it were several steamed buns wrapped in cloth towels, and the two interlocking porcelain bowls wanted to contain side dishes to accompany the meal.

Shi Dayong put the basket at his feet, took out the same things and put them on the bedside table, poured out the water in his father's bowl, poured a bowl of millet porridge for his mother and father, handed his mother a steamed bun, and picked up the bowl to feed his father.

"Boss, let's feed my mother, have you eaten, you eat first." As a mother, she can always observe her children in detail, Shi Dayong is obviously tired, his stubble has grown inches, and his eyes are bloodshot, and he has not rested well.

"I don't have to feed it, I can eat by myself, Dayong, hurry up and pour a bowl of rice and eat with your mother first." Shi Youtian sat up and stretched out his hand to Ruisheng: "Old Five, you help me sit up." ”

Ruisheng hurriedly stepped forward, held his father's shoulder, and tucked the pillow behind his father's back: "Big brother, I came after eating, and I will serve my father to eat." ”

Shi Dayong was really hungry, he saw that there was more porridge in the porcelain jar, and he was not polite to his younger brother, he drank a bowl of porridge with a snort, and nibbled a steamed bun with sauce beans, and there was hot rice in his stomach, and he was much more comfortable.

Shi Youtian watched his son swallow with envy, and drank millet porridge with great difficulty.

Ruisheng asked while feeding his father, "Big brother, when did you arrive?" ”

"It didn't take long to arrive." With a steamed bun in his stomach, Shi Dayong slowed down: "Old Five, I'll take my father and mother away tomorrow, you go back in the afternoon to clean up your father's change of clothes, and send it over early tomorrow morning." ”

"Tomorrow? Big brother, why are you in such a hurry, don't you stay at home for a few more days? ”

"It's important to see a doctor for my father, I can't delay it, and when my father is well, I'll go home to live."

Ruisheng looked at Shi Dayong, wait for his father to get better? Dad's disease, he has already inquired, I'm afraid it won't get better, why, doesn't the eldest brother know what kind of disease his father has? Rui Sheng didn't say anything, scooped a spoonful of porridge and sent it to Shi Youtian's mouth.

Shi Dayong was too tired, after lunch, he was sleepy and dizzy, he saw that there was no one on the bed next door, and he forced his spirit to say to his father: "Dad, mother, I'll rest." Before his parents could reply, he was already asleep in bed.

A hearty night's sleep, Shi Dayong woke up at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, if it wasn't for the pretending to be in his heart, he could sleep until the next morning, Shi Dayong moved, turned his head to look at the side, his father was lying on the bed, his mother was nesting at his father's feet, he was sleeping, the basket and Ruisheng were gone, and he thought that he had gone home to pack his luggage.

Shi Dayong sat up lightly, got off the ground, for fear of waking up his parents, tiptoed out of the door, came to the street, bought some food on the road, and ran to the bus station to buy three tickets to Shangqiu. There is no direct shuttle bus home in County C, so I bought a bus ticket every time, and then bought a train ticket to Zhengzhou after arriving in Shangqiu, and then transferred from Zhengzhou to get home. On the way, for two days and one night, he was worried that his father's body would not be able to bear it, and Shi Dayong frowned, thinking about what to do to make his father more comfortable.

When Ruisheng returned home, he reported to his sister-in-law and brothers when he entered the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, our eldest brother is back." ”

"Really, Fifth Brother, so soon, did Coco find it?" Rui Quan had been thinking about his little niece, and when he heard that the eldest brother had arrived, he hurriedly walked to Rui Sheng's side and asked.

Ruimin also stood up and swept his eyes behind Ruisheng: "Where is it?" "During this time, Ruimin has been very worried, just afraid that if the old man doesn't whine, then no one will take care of his affairs, now it's okay, my father is not dead, my eldest brother is back, and his affairs will be settled.

Ruisheng put the basket on the square table: "Big brother is in the hospital, let me come back to pack my father's luggage, and tomorrow he will take my father and mother back to him to see a doctor." I forgot to ask about Coco, my eldest brother slept after eating, and my father didn't let me disturb my eldest brother's sleep, so I came home first. ”

What the! Daddy and eldest brother will leave tomorrow, so what should I do? Ruimin was unhappy, Ruimin's face was even darker, he thought angrily, I am like this, my parents owe me, you don't arrange me to leave, what if my father dies outside?

Rui Min turned his head and left with a gloomy face, and Rui Sheng shouted behind him: "Fourth brother, will you help me pack my luggage?" He ignored it, went back to the house, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and began to think about what he was going to do next.

Actually, Ruimin thinks too much, his affairs Shi Youtian has always put in his heart, Ruimin is like this, Shi Youtian's heart is still full of guilt, when chatting with the people in the village in his spare time, whenever he sees Ruimin sitting alone unsocially, he regrets it in his heart, regrets why he can't lend two money to Ruimin to take a good look.

Okay today, the boss is back, and tomorrow I want to take them away, Shi Youtian thought, Ruimin's affairs don't have to wait until the New Year to say, and then say whether he can live until the New Year, and after a while, Dayong will come back and mention to him that he will take Ruimin with him tomorrow.

When Shi Dayong returned to the ward, Shi Youtian and Sun Xiufang had already woken up, and the old couple sat on the edge of the bed chatting quietly, of course, most of them were Sun Xiufang talking, Shi Youtian listened quietly, and echoed from time to time.

Shi Dayong stood outside the door, looking at his parents through the glass, he never paid attention to when his parents started to get old, the father and mother in his memory were always full of strength, and he never thought that his parents would be so weak and aging so quickly, their waists were no longer straight, their hair was already pale, their faces were full of wrinkles, and their eyes were no longer bright. He didn't want his parents to be old, let alone let the old man --- to death, as soon as he thought that his father was about to die, Shi Dayong's heart was uncomfortable, his nose was sour, and tears began to pour up again, he took a deep breath, calmed down, pushed open the door, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Dad, mother, you are awake." ”

"The boss is back, where did you go just now?" Sun Xiufang got up, dragged a bench from the side, and motioned for Shi Dayong to sit down.

Shi Dayong took out the ticket twice in his coat pocket and took out the ticket: "I'm going to buy a ticket." ”

Shi Youtian took the ticket and looked at it, glanced at Sun Xiufang, and said in a deep voice: "Boss, Dad and you have something to discuss." ”

"What's the matter? Dad, you say. Shi Dayong took the teacup handed by his mother, took a sip of water and asked.

"It's still a matter of the fourth."

"What's wrong with the fourth?" Shi Dayong was puzzled, what's wrong with the fourth child, and what's wrong?

"You also know, the fourth child's eyes are not good, and his head, when I think of this, my father feels uncomfortable, my father is sorry for the fourth, and he complains that his father didn't give Simin a good look at the time, you also know, our family is poor, Sanfu and a few of them can't say that they are daughters-in-law, and it is even more difficult for the fourth child to become a family in his hometown, so boss, father, beg you, you have to think of a way to take him out and find him a job, so that he can also have more capital in the future, and he can be a little easier when he talks about his daughter-in-law." The words were a bit long, and Shi Youtian gasped tiredly several times.

To be honest, this matter is very difficult, the hukou is a big problem, with the hukou can participate in the recruitment, but if it is recruitment, Ruimin will not be able to pass the physical examination, Ruimin is not only a chicken, he can't see at night, but his eyesight is not very good during the day, and everything is blurry and not too clear from a few meters away.

Shi Dayong couldn't bear to disappoint his old father, he hesitated for a moment, and agreed: "Dad, my son can't ask for a word, I wrote it down, the brothers' business is my own business, you can rest assured, I want to find a way to go back." ”

The Boss agreed. Shi Youtian's heart was relieved, he was a little anxious, and wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible, so he gasped and said: "Boss, do you think this will work, when we leave tomorrow, take the fourth child with you." ”

"Okay, Dad, let's do whatever you say." Seeing that the old father was talking so hard, Shi Dayong couldn't bear it in his heart: "Dad, you take a break first." ”

At dusk, the afterglow of the slanting sun pulls its long tail and falls towards the western mountains little by little, the horizon where heaven and earth blend, and the sunset spreads all over the sky.

He Xiaoxia made dinner, and the brothers ate it early, put the sticky millet porridge specially boiled for her father into a porcelain jar, boiled a few eggs, and filled them with mixed noodles and pickles, and the five brothers went to the hospital to deliver food together.

They are all young people, their steps are fast, less than half an hour, they have already walked into the door of the hospital, Rui Quan did not take anything in his hand, after entering the hospital, he couldn't wait to run, pushed open his father's ward, the eldest brother was sitting next to his father's bed, Rui Quan hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly: "Big brother, can you find it?" ”

Oh, Sun Xiufang and Shi Youtian had already forgotten about this matter outside the clouds, and they were a little embarrassed to hear Ruiquan say this, you look at me, I look at you, Sun Xiufang also asked embarrassedly: "By the way, boss, what's wrong with Coco, have you found it?" ”

Shi Dayong smiled bitterly: "No, I looked everywhere, but there was no letter, I sent a letter to my family at that time, how is it at home?" ”

Shi Youtian hurriedly answered: "I have found it, and your five younger brothers came to the city to look for it, but there is no letter." ”

"I didn't find it." Ruiquan was disappointed: "Big brother, where can this kid go?" ”

"Well, if I could know where I went, I wouldn't be able to find it? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something, Yingzi is pregnant, almost four months old. ”

"Really!" This is good news, Shi Youtian's spirit was shocked, and the folds on his face instantly bloomed: "The three grandchildren in the family are all girls, this time it should be a different thing, it must be a kid." ”

Sun Xiufang also nodded: "People in the village say that everything is no more than three, this is our fourth grandchild, it must be a boy." ”

While speaking, Ruicheng, Ruifu, Ruimin and Ruisheng also pushed the door in, as soon as they entered the door, they felt that the atmosphere in the room was relaxed, and the face of his father and mother was still full of joy, Ruicheng took the lead in asking: "What's the matter, so happy?" ”

Sun Xiufang couldn't close her mouth happily: "Your sister-in-law is happy, you are about to have a nephew." ”

Rui Cheng didn't care, and said that you haven't been born yet, how can you be sure that it's a boy, but he won't go to spoil everyone's fun, pretending to be surprised and saying: "Really! Congratulations to Big Brother. ”

"Yes, congratulations, big brother!" The brothers chimed in.

Shi Dayong waved his hand: "The child has not been born yet, who knows whether it is a man or a woman, and it is too early for you to congratulate him." ”

Ruimin handed his parents' change of clothes to his mother: "Mother, this is your and Dad's change of clothes, can you see what is missing?" ”

"I'll see." Sun Xiufang untied the burden, rummaged through it, and said: "A lot, that's it, by the way, Ruimin, your father and your eldest brother said okay, this time you go with us, you go to your house to pack your luggage in a while, and come to the hospital early tomorrow morning, don't delay." ”
