"What five million?" Su Zijun was stunned again.

"Bride price!" Chen Yuan said with a dissatisfied face.

"Isn't it sixty thousand? How did it become five million? What's the situation? Su Zijun asked with a puzzled face.

Seeing him looking at himself with a puzzled expression, Chen Yuan opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

Seeing this, the old mother sitting on the side took over the conversation and said, "It's not because of you that your brother and your sister-in-law have a conflict!" Let me tell you, if they are yellow in this matter, even if your second uncle and aunt don't beat you, I won't bypass you! ”

Su Zijun looked at his mother innocently: "No, what's the matter with me?" I've just arrived home, and won't they be okay when I leave? ”

"Auntie, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaojun, don't blame him!" Chen Yuan also helped on the side.

"Look, my brother said so, Mom, as soon as you open your mouth, you let me carry such a big pot, and I'm not a backpot!" Su Zijun hurriedly nodded and looked at his mother with a resentful expression.

"You kid still has a hard mouth!" My mother glared at him and said, "If it weren't for going with you to receive the award, would your brother have forgotten such a big deal as discussing the engagement between the two families when he comes back?" If it weren't for forgetting to be in a hurry, would your brother have been able to drive your car? If it weren't for driving your car, would you be able to do this? ”

Su Zijun looked at his mother with a dull expression, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the old watch, and then said with a smile on his face: "Oh, is this because of this?" But no, what does it have to do with my sister-in-law asking for a 5 million bride price? ”

"Auntie, let me tell you!" As soon as my mother was about to speak, Chen Yuan on the side took the lead in replying: "I am also to blame for this!" At that time, I didn't drive your car because I was in a hurry, and when I arrived, I found that the two relatives were waiting for me alone, and I patronized and explained, and I didn't pay attention to tell you about receiving the award. ”

Su Zijun interjected: "Just say it, that's my money, why did my sister-in-law ask you for five million?" ”

Chen Yuan sighed: "I also blame myself for my quick mouth, when I explained, I said that you plan to give me half of the bonus but I didn't want it, and then they asked me how much money I won, I regretted saying that, in order to avoid trouble, I casually said that I won a few second prizes, more than one million, but after you get the money, you buy a car, and the rest of the money is going to be used for aunt and aunt to see a doctor." ”

Hearing this, Su Zijun couldn't help rolling his eyes, Chen Yuan turned a blind eye to this, and continued: "Your second uncle and second aunt also told his family about the situation of the eldest aunt and eldest aunt, so they didn't say anything, except for me to drink a few more cups as an atonement that day, there were no other accidents, but unlucky was unlucky The next day on the local news suddenly broadcast a lottery winning news, saying that it was the first big prize won in the local area in recent years!" ”

Su Zijun also understood at this time: "It's this one of me!" ”

"Who else but you?" Chen Yuan glanced at him: "Fifty million before tax!" Because of the local news report,Coupled with the vigorous publicity of the lottery station,The lottery shop is going to be crowded these days! Not only people from various towns and villages came to buy it, but even people from nearby counties and cities drove over! With such a big movement, even if your sister-in-law's family lives in the countryside, it is impossible not to hear a little wind. ”

Speaking of this,Chen Yuan suddenly laughed again:"To say that your sister-in-law's family is also wonderful,After they heard about this,,I didn't tell anyone on our side,I went directly to the lottery shop to inquire about the situation,I learned that no one in the city won the second prize except for the first prize of this house, so I collectively ran over and asked me what the situation was." ”

"And then you confessed it all?" Su Zijun asked.

"I thought that this was all a family, and it didn't matter if I said it, so I said it, who knew that after I finished speaking, she told me to ask for a bride price of five million the next day, otherwise the marriage would not be over!" Chen Yuan's face was full of resentment when he said this.

Hearing this, Su Zijun was angry: "Since you told them, then they should know that this is me winning the prize, not you, and you have no money, why did they ask you for five million?" ”

Chen Yuan stared at him for a long time, but finally didn't speak, but his face became more and more ugly, seeing this, the old mother on the side interjected again: "Where are you talking so much nonsense?" What's your money, his money? You've forgotten what your brother usually treats you, haven't you? Let me tell you, you are up to you to pay this money, not to mention five million, even ten million or twenty million, and you are not allowed to say anything! ”

Seeing this, Su Zijun hurriedly said with a hippie smile: "Mom, I didn't say it, why are you so angry!" Not to mention five million, as long as my brother needs it, even if he takes all the money, I have no opinion. ”

"That's pretty much it!" At this time, my mother's face looked better.

"Auntie, Xiaojun, I have received your wishes, but I resolutely can't ask for this money, this request from their family is not reasonable at all, if I agree at this time, what about the future? Who knows what strange demands they will make after they get married? Chen Yuan said with a resolute face.

"Xiaoyuan, don't be angry, it's not that we don't have money, she will give it first, and when she gets married and has children, she will naturally turn to you." The old mother persuaded earnestly.

"Mom, I agree with your previous point of view, but I don't agree with the latter point, now and the past are different, women will not follow you with all their hearts because they have a child with you, now marriage and divorce are like a joke, happy to get married, unhappy to leave, no one can live without anyone, today and you are married, maybe tomorrow when you are unhappy will leave!" Su Zijun interjected.

"Stinky boy, shut up if you can't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person!" When my mother heard this, her face was not good-looking, and she reprimanded.

Hearing this, Su Zijun secretly stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice: "Originally, now the status of domestic men is getting lower and lower, why is this happening, it's not because of Guan!" ”

"You're going to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll whip you!" Even though it was already very quiet, it was still heard by the mother, and immediately, the mother glared at him and raised her hand to fight.

"Okay, okay, I can't shut up!" Seeing this, Su Zijun hurriedly confessed.

"Auntie, what Xiaojun said is very right, girls now are different from the past, and the old idea of keeping people by having a child doesn't work!" Seeing this, Chen Yuan hurriedly spoke for Su Zijun: "The most important thing is that this time the whole family agreed, if it was Xiaoya's idea alone, it could be explained that she was ignorant, but the whole family agreed, which is incomprehensible!" ”

"After all, her family lives in the countryside, and the family conditions are not good, so it is normal to ask for more money!" Mom is still trying to play a round.

"There are many people in the countryside, and I haven't seen anyone as unreasonable as her family!" Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "Auntie, I know what you think, in this society, it is indeed difficult for men to find a partner when they are old, but it is for ordinary poor people, I have already discussed with Xiaojun to prepare to do some business, and when you have money, are you afraid that you will not find a good wife?" ”

Hearing this, Su Zijun nodded violently on the side: "Yes, yes, now you can have any woman you want if you have money, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck!" ”

"How?" Mom glared at him again.

"Old watch, are you saying that I have no eyes?" Chen Yuan also looked at him speechlessly.

At this moment, Su Zijun suddenly came back to his senses, and then hurriedly made a grimace to change the topic: "What, what about my dad!" ”

Chen Yuan had an expression on his face that I was really convinced, and my mother looked like she was waiting for no one to see how I cleaned you up: "Your grandfather has been hospitalized with physical problems again, and your father is taking care of you in the hospital." ”

Su Zijun was taken aback: "What's wrong with my grandfather?" Wasn't the first two days okay? ”

Chen Yuandao: "Just yesterday, my aunt and uncle went to your grandfather's house for a day, and at noon your grandfather suddenly said that he was dizzy when he was playing poker with us, and he thought it would be good to rest for a while, but he didn't expect that a few minutes later, he went directly to the chair, which frightened us at that time." ”

Su Zijun hurriedly asked, "And then?" What does a doctor's examination say? ”

"You don't know your grandfather's body, it's always been good and bad, this time it's because of cerebral infarction, the doctor said that you need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time, if there is no problem within a week, you can be discharged home to recuperate." Chen Yuandao.

"Which, you know which hospital my grandfather lives in, I just came back, and I haven't been able to go over to have a look, please run with me again!" Hearing this, Su Zijun's tone couldn't help but feel a little eager.

"We just came back from there, if you don't go by yourself, it's at the First People's Hospital, you can call your aunt wherever you go, it's not easy for your aunt to run back and forth." Chen Yuan shook his head.

Hearing this, he looked at his mother, who was slightly tired on her face, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and see for myself, and my mother will trouble you to take care of it." ”

"It's not interesting to say this, the key is for you, be careful on your own road." As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out the key from his pocket and handed it to him.

After leaving the house, Su Zijun drove to the supermarket to buy some milk and fruits, and then drove straight to the hospital.

"Dad, how is grandpa?" Called to ask for the location, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked in a low voice.

"The situation has stabilized for the time being, I'm on an intravenous drip, and I've just fallen asleep!" Dad glanced at him and turned his head back.

Putting the milk and fruit in his hand, he glanced at the ward that could accommodate three people, and only his grandfather was at the moment, and he sat on the empty bed on his grandfather's left hand: "Where's grandma?" ”

"Your grandfather said before that he wanted to drink some porridge, and I was going to go out to buy it, but your grandmother said that your grandfather couldn't get used to it, so he had to go back and cook it himself, and it would take a while to come." Dad said.

"His body is good and bad, and I don't know if he can survive until the New Year!" Looking at his grandfather who was lying on the bed on a drip, thin and almost only bones left, Su Zijun said worriedly.

"The doctor said that if the recovery is good, it is not a big problem to survive until the New Year, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, it is not a matter of whether you can be discharged from the hospital!" Dad's face was also full of worry.

"Hey, I hope I can get through this!" For a while, Su Zijun didn't know what to say.

After about twenty minutes, Su Zijun looked up and found that the potion in the hanging bottle was about to run out, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, press the bell next to you, the water is going to run out!" ”

"Pressed!"

More than ten seconds later, seeing that the potion in the bottle had run out, but there was still no nurse coming, Su Zijun suddenly said urgently: "Dad, did you press it, why didn't anyone come?" ”

Dad also looked puzzled: "I pressed it, this bell is still ringing!" ”

As he spoke, he pressed hard a few more times.

After more than ten seconds, seeing that all the potions flowed into the dripping bucket and still no one came, Su Zijun hurriedly said: "Dad, look here, I'll go and see what the situation is, why no one has come over after the bell has been pressed for a long time!" ”

Before he finished speaking, the others had already rushed out of the room, but when he came to the nurse's station, he found that there was no one here, and when he looked around, the corridor was empty!

"What a broken hospital, there is not even a ghost shadow in the nurses' station!" With that, he hurriedly ran back to the ward, and saw that the potion in the drip bucket was about to bottom out, so he hurriedly turned off the flow regulator to the end.

"Broken hospital, there is no one in the entire nurses' station, and the bells of several wards outside are calling!"

In order to prevent blood from flowing back, Su Zijun was talking while holding his grandfather's left arm and planning to lower it, after doing all this, he checked again to see if there were any mistakes or omissions, but in the next second, he was stunned by the scene he saw.

"I'm sorry, I'm so busy today!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a young female nurse rushed in with a bottle of potion in her hand.

"You don't even have anyone on duty at this nurse station, you have to wait for half a day to change the water, and what if the air drip in a little later?" In this regard, my father is still full of opinions.

"I'm sorry, there are too many people today, it's too busy, we've been busy from noon to now, and we haven't even had time to drink saliva!" The female nurse hurriedly apologized.

Hearing this, my father didn't want to continue to delve into it: "I'm not rushing at you, I'm just in a hurry, the tone is not very good, and you have worked hard!" ”

The female nurse shook her head and said, "It's okay, these are what we should do, you can understand!" ”

After a while, the female nurse left the room in a hurry after changing the potion, and at this time, Dad's voice also sounded: "From the moment people enter the house, you have been staring at people's butts, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Dad, can you see if there's anything on Grandpa's left hand?" Su Zijun raised his eyes to look at his father, and then turned his gaze to his grandfather's left hand.

Hearing this, my father couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly walked over and picked up my grandfather's left hand and looked at it: "No?" ”

Su Zijun walked over and rolled up the sleeve of his grandfather's hospital gown: "It's on this arm!" ”

Dad looked at it again and again for a while, but still looked puzzled: "Except for wrinkled skin and some age spots, there is nothing else!" ”

Hearing this, Su Zijun grabbed his father's left hand and pushed his sleeve up: "What about your hand?" ”

Looking at the serious Su Zijun, his father hurriedly touched his forehead with his right hand: "Do you have a fever?" ”

"No, I'm kidding you!" Looking at his father, who only had eight years left in his life, Su Zijun quietly leaned his life clock and turned it for a thousand years: "Dad, if you pay attention to health preservation, it shouldn't be a problem to live for 1,800 years." ”

The moment he let go, looking at his father's life of one thousand and eight years, Su Zijun couldn't help but make a joke.

"I'm going to beat you little bastard! I still live for 1,800 years, and you and I are the king! Hearing this, my father immediately laughed and scolded.

"Dad, you said it yourself, not me!" Su Zijun replied speechlessly.

Dad was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses: "Get out of here!" ”

Su Zijun ran out of the door with a hippie smile, and immediately saw his grandmother coming over with a thermostatic lunch box, seeing this, he hurriedly greeted him and took the lunch box into his hand: "Grandma, why are you alone?" ”

"It's enough for me to cook a porridge by myself, when did you come?" Seeing Su Zijun, my grandmother was also very happy.

"I've been here for a while, and my grandfather has been sleeping." With that, the two entered the house again.

"Mom, you're here!" Seeing Grandma, Dad hurriedly stood up.

"Zhongyun, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard! Sit down! ”

When several people were seated, Su Zijun looked at her grandmother, suddenly pulled up her left hand and said, "Grandma, I only learned from others two days ago, I'll show you." ”

Grandma looked at him with a smile and said, "Really? Then show your grandmother when she will be able to hold her great-grandson! ”

The corners of Su Zijun's mouth suddenly couldn't help twitching: "Grandma, don't you don't open any pot and mention which pot, besides, I look at life, not marriage!" ”

Grandma smiled and didn't speak again, while the father on the side kept muttering: "Other people's children and grandchildren who are about the same age as you can make soy sauce, but you don't know how to worry day by day!" ”

Su Zijun was selectively deaf to his father's words, and seeing that he didn't speak, his father became more and more energetic.

Seeing that his grandmother only had one year and a few days left to live, Su Zijun sighed silently and then turned two hundred years to the past: "Grandma, don't worry, I just saw it, your body, it is easy to live to be a hundred years old!" ”

If you tell her directly, as long as there is no accident, she can live for another two hundred years, it is estimated that the old lady will have to beat herself to death, but if you tell her that it will be easy to be a hundred years old, this is easy to accept.

"Thank you for my good grandson, then grandma will be a hundred years old!" Grandma happily touched Su Zijun's head.

"I'll show my grandfather again." Seeing this, Su Zijun didn't say anything, smiled and turned around and picked up his grandfather's left hand.

After a while, seeing that his grandfather still had two hundred years and three days left to live, Su Zijun smiled again: "I have also seen this grandfather, and it is no problem to be a hundred years old." ”

Only this time, Dad didn't say anything more, and Grandma's eyes were silently misty.
