"Summer! Summer! Open doors in the summer! ”

A cry rang out outside the door, obviously calling for the sound of summer.

Summer suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, she frowned and looked at Lin Yilu, the two of them tacitly, put on their clothes and walked out.

Zhang Lanfang asked who it was and opened the door.

"Who are you? What are you looking for in the summer? ”

Before Zhang Lanfang finished asking, Xia spoke behind her back.

"Uncle Chengguo?"

As soon as Xia came out of his house, he saw Xia Chengguo, the village secretary of Xiajia Village, standing at the door, looking at Xia Chengguo's anxious look on his face, Xia felt a little nervous.

"Summer! Let's go back! Your dad can't do it! ”

"What?"

"What?"

Summer and Lin Yilu said in unison, she glanced back at Lin Yilu, and Lin Yilu immediately said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you back!" ”

Summer held back her tears and nodded.

didn't even have time to wash their faces, and the two of them followed Xia Chengguo out to Xiajia Village.

Xia Chengguo came on a bicycle, and Lin Yilu also rode a bicycle with Xia Chengguo in the summer.

Xia Chengguo didn't say a word along the way, Xia was anxious, looked at Xia Chengguo and asked, "Uncle Chengguo, what's going on?" ”

This scene is very similar to the day Xia Weimin broke his leg a few years ago.

Xia Chengguo sighed heavily, and he didn't know why their family was so difficult.

Obviously, they work harder and are more motivated than other families, but life always gives them the most painful blows.

Now in this situation, he can't even open his mouth.

I don't know what to say to Summer.

Seeing that Xia Chengguo opened his mouth several times and didn't say anything, Xia Chengguo became even more anxious.

"Uncle Chengguo, just tell me! I need to know what's going on. Otherwise, my heart is really worse than cooking in oil! ”

When I was talking in the summer, my eyes turned red.

In fact, when she heard Xia Chengguo say that her father was no longer good, she felt a dull pain in her heart. It's just that she has been holding back, and the closer she gets to Xiajia Village at this moment, the more scared she becomes.

Xia Chengguo knew that sooner or later he would have to let Xia know about this, otherwise she would still ask when she returned to Xia's house, and maybe she would have to quarrel when the time came.

It's even harder to deal with.

Xia Chengguo paused, glanced at Xia, and then looked at the road in front of him again, and while riding a bicycle, he spoke: "I also remembered today that I hadn't met your father for a long time, and I had spoken." I also know that he has bad legs and feet, and he doesn't like to go out, so I go to your house in the morning. Who knew that when you entered the door, you saw your dad crooked on the bed, and there was a lot of furniture in the room. He was so thin that he didn't look good anymore. There are still blood stains on the ground, as if he has vomited blood, and I don't know how long he has been in this condition! I saw that his condition was not very good, so I immediately called your brother to see him, who knew that he had already gone to the factory, and I called your sister-in-law to the factory to call him back. Your aunt is watching your dad at home, so I'm coming to you. ”

Summer listened to Xia Chengguo's words, and his heart ached.

When she came back from quitting her job in the county seat that day, she saw her father fall at the gate of the Lin family.

She went to see him off, but he didn't need it, and when he got home, he saw the wardrobe that her father had delivered.

In those days, her mother-in-law kept asking her to work in the fields, and later she was busy with the marriage of Lin Yilu's younger brother Lin Ershui, so she has not been home to see her father recently.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, her father is now too sick to make her a dowry.

Summer started crying, and while crying, she asked, "Uncle Chengguo, is my dad really not successful?" Did you hit 120? What about sending it to the hospital? ”

"I've already beaten it, but I don't look good, I don't know if I can survive the hospital. I don't know why he is so desperate to make furniture all of a sudden. Looking at the furniture in the house, and looking at him like that, we know that he has been doing all those carpentry jobs day and night for so many days, and it is estimated that he has not drunk a few sips of water or eaten a few meals. There is no shortage of those things at home, and he is in such a hurry to do those ......"

Xia Chengguo said as if he remembered something, he glanced at Xia, and Xia also understood.

The furniture that her father made was made for her dowry.

But even if you want to make a dowry for her, you don't have to be in such a hurry, you don't have to do these jobs day and night, right? There's no rush to get these!

Summer suddenly thought of the incident when her father fell in front of Lin's house that day, when her mother-in-law Gao Haoyue was also present, and several neighbors also stood with her and chatted.

Could it be that her mother-in-law said something that day?

Summer had no way of knowing, so she could only secretly guess in pain.

Lin Yilu didn't know about it at all, he only knew that her father had sent a large wardrobe to the two of them that summer.

Now that Xia Chengguo was suddenly silent, Xia cried even harder, Lin Yilu knew that she was sad, but she just rode the car fast.

The three of them soon came to Xia's house.

Summer got off the bike and immediately ran to the house.

In the room, Xia Weimin was lying on the bed, obviously before the summer had completely passed, he had already covered the quilt, his face was so thin that the bones were prominent, and his arms were exposed, like skin and bones. Skinny, he collapsed on the bed coughing intermittently, and the breath in his mouth was very weak, and even his eyes were half-open because of fatigue.

When she entered the door in the summer, she saw such a scene, her tears fell down her eyes, and her voice whimpered: "Dad! ”

After shouting, he knelt on the ground and cried at the head of his bed.

Xia Weimin heard her voice, and then he reluctantly opened his eyes, and his eyes were already cloudy at this time.

I don't know if he is really conscious or not, he is looking at Summer, but Summer feels that her father is not looking at her, as if he is watching her look farther away.

"Summer...... There you are. I have made you a dowry...... Now your mother-in-law won't hate you anymore. It's all ...... It's all bad for Dad...... Ahem...... It's because Dad is incapable and doesn't have a good family background...... There is no money to make you suffer for so many years......"

Xia Weimin gasped as he spoke, obviously lacking breath, and Xia looked at him like this, and his heart was broken.

"Dad, Dad, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, you save your strength, and we'll go to the hospital later."

Summer's tears are like beads with broken threads, falling down with a snap, Xia Weimin wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but because he didn't have any strength, he couldn't even lift his hand.

Seeing this, Summer lifted his hand up and held it in his hand, her cheek pressed against the back of his hand, tears sliding down her cheek and onto the back of her hand.

Xia Weimin seemed to feel Summer's movements, and some brilliance regained in his originally chaotic eyes.

At this time, Xie Jinzhi and Xia Dahai also came back, opened the curtain and came in, looked at the furniture in the room, and saw Xia Weimin lying on the bed, both of them were taken aback, and slowly approached the bed.

The closer he got, the more Xia Dahai couldn't help it, and he shed tears.

Xia Weimin hasn't seen Xia Dahai come back yet, he only sees Xia in his eyes, and he still has a lot to say to Xia, but his strength to speak is gradually decreasing.

"Summer...... My daughter...... You let me say it, I know, I can't do it...... My own body, I myself still know...... Ahem...... I guess today is the last day...... The dowry, I've finally made it for you...... Today, you're all going back...... Later...... Who...... I can't take you lightly ......"

"I know, I know, don't say it, the ambulance will come in a while, let's go to the hospital, go to the hospital!"

Summer said and patted his hand and told him to take a break.

Xia Dahai also knelt down and shouted loudly, "Dad! ”

When Xia Weimin heard the voice, his eyes slowly turned to Xia Dahai, and when he saw that Xia Dahai was also coming, he blinked slightly, signaling that he knew.

"The sea is coming, too...... The sea, let's live a good life in the future...... cough cough cough ...... Be diligent...... Work more...... Earn more money......"

Xia Dahai cried with tears and snot, since Xia got married, Xie Jinzhi didn't let him come to this courtyard.

Xie Jinzhi cooks at home, he goes to work in the factory every day, and he is also very busy, so he has never been to this courtyard, nor has he taken care of Xia Weimin's food.
