On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, a village in S County, K Province, has been snowing since the third day of the new year.

The red tiles on the roof can't hold the snow, and for a while, "Boom!" With a loud bang, the snow on the roof slid to the ground, and then "Boom!" With a loud thud slid down to the ground, near the doorway to the front and back of the house

On the dirt floor, a small hill fifty centimeters high was piled up.

Jiang Cui got up early in the morning and shoveled snow at the door, piled the snow together with a shovel, knocked it down, and then shoveled it up with a shovel against the ground, picked it up, walked to the west, lifted it hard, and threw it

By the pond, move with a spade.

Ouyang got up, took a shovel from the backyard, and shoveled up the snow.

The sky was still drifting with snowflakes, and after a while, there was another layer of snow on the concrete floor, Ouyang picked up a bamboo broom and brushed the snow on the ground, piled it together, and then took a shovel and shovel, and threw it to the pond, and a small hill was piled up on the side of the pond.

The silver-gray sedan car parked at the door was covered with a thick layer of snow on the roof and front and rear windshields, and Ouyang used a rag to wipe off the snow on the front windshield of the car, and a pile of snow on the rear windshield and roof remained.

At seven o'clock, Li Qing got up, put on cotton slippers on the ground, put on a cotton jacket, and gathered his hair.

"Moe, do you want a little relief? I'm going to pour the spittoon."

"No"

Meng Meng squinted, snorted lazily, and continued to sleep.

Li Qing walked out of the gate with a spittoon, there was silence all around, the air was fresh and clean, and the vast fields in the distance

It's white, like a milk lid sprinkled with broken matcha.

The branches in front of the door were bent by the snow, and their heads were bowed,

"It's not cold at all today."

"It's cold before the frost, it's cold after the snow, have you gotten up? Got up for breakfast? “

"Let her sleep, usually work overtime, let her relax and relax during the holidays"

Jiang Cui shoveled the snow with a shovel, looked at Li Qing, and was speechless.

Li Qing continued to walk forward carefully step by step, and walked to the edge of the peach tree, which was muddy, with a thick layer of snow on the ground, Li Qing listened to the "creaking, creaking" sound under his feet, and unconsciously walked to the edge of the vegetable garden,

In the vegetable field, the black cabbage is covered in thick snow, and only a few leaves are visible, and the garlic and shallots stand upright and show their heads.

Li Qing continued to walk towards the toilet by the vegetable garden.

Li Qing slowly walked to the edge of the pond step by step and stood on a flat stone

Li Qing used a spittoon to swing the water surface to reveal a clean surface, and then cleaned the spittoon and carried it back to the east room.

Jiang Cui was feeding Ouyang Lei milk, Ouyang had already walked to the east house with a bowl to eat porridge, and Li cleaned and gargled and ate a bowl of porridge.

The snow was still falling outside.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang, Li Qing and Mengmeng packed up their things,

Driving in the direction of the county seat, the roof and rear windshield were also covered with a thick layer of snow.

Ouyang and Li Qing will be cute

Sent to N City, had dinner together, and then set off for H City.

Half of the snow on the roof of the car has melted, and a small half of the snow has melted on the rear windshield.

At eleven o'clock at night, Ouyang and Li Qing went up and down the service area from the highway.

I saw that the snow on the roof of the car was only the size of a basin, a pile of snow, much thinner than before, and the snow on the rear windshield had melted in half.

Ouyang and Li Qing took a short break and drove on the highway again.

I finally arrived in H City at two o'clock in the morning on the sixth day of the new year, and the snow on the roof of the car had melted, so I carried my luggage into the house and poured it

Head to sleep.

Ouyang looked at the roof of the car

"This pile of snow followed us from our hometown to H City."

"Then it's better to grab a handful of dirt from your hometown and bring it with you, hehe"

When I woke up, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and I hurriedly washed up and went to the store.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Qing, who had been on work for a day, returned to the room, had dinner, and thought, tonight

Get a good night's sleep!

In order to let Ouyang have a good rest, Li Qing chatted with Ouyang for a few words, and then dragged his stiff legs slowly

In the small room, I turned off the lights and lay down.

The lights in the big room are still on......

Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the house.

Li Qing leaned on the small bed and heard Ouyang talking on the phone, his voice was not high, mixed with Ouyang Jila

The sound of slippers clicking, and after a while, I walked into the living room.

Li Qing also got up, Ouyang said with a heavy face and a frown

"Just now, the second brother-in-law called from his hometown and said that my father was serious"

Li Qing

"This.."

With a sound, I don't know what to say to comfort Ouyang, and I am also very worried in my heart, helping Ouyang Yi

Got up back to the big room, leaned against the head of the bed, and the two of them were silent.

About ten minutes later, another rapid phone rang, and it was the second brother-in-law calling

"Just left!" ，

Li Qing chuckled in his heart, what they were worried about might have really happened!

No wonder I was distracted all day today.

In the blink of an eye, Ouyang's eyes full of dark circles were already moist.

Ouyang muttered to Li Qing

"Daddy's gone".

Li Qing was stunned, Ouyang didn't know when he had already put on his clothes, and walked quickly to the living room, Li Qing trembled

Suo put on his coat, got out of bed, grabbed a few changes of clothes for the two, and stuffed them in

Boot.

On an early spring night, the wind is cold, and snowflakes are floating in the sky.

Ouyang picked up the suitcase and got into the car, and Li Qing also got into the car.

Ouyang settled in his seat, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and fastened his seat belt

While instructing Li Qing

"Seat belts fastened"

Then turn on the engine, and the car quickly drove out of the community, turned a few corners, and got on the highway.

Li Qing looked sideways at the car, and the computer was almost 120 yards.

Ouyang kept opening windows, smoking,

Drink strong tea.

There were very few cars on the road, and the two were silent, only the wind outside the window was blowing...

Li Qing leaned back on the chair and looked out the window, tears couldn't stop flowing...

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month last year, Li Qing and Ouyang returned to their hometown from the south on vacation and put down their luggage.

went to visit Ouyang Lei, who was hemiplegic and had a second cerebral infarction, and had been lying in bed for a long time.

In order to make a living, Ouyang Lei's children work outside all year round, and Jiang Cui is usually the only one to wait.

Walking into the door of the small room, there was a pungent smell of urine, close to the bedside, Li Qing was taken aback:

A skinny face, shriveled cheeks, and deep-set eyes.

Li Qing's heart was sour, and tears almost fell.

The old man, who used to be tall and energetic, was tormented by illness and had no human appearance.

Li Qing stretched out his hands and gently held the skinny hands curled up in the quilt.

Ouyang Lei's hands were warm,

"Old man, it's not cold?"

Ouyang Lei just looked at Li Qing helplessly, and after a long time, he opened his mouth

"Ah~~Ah~"

Speechless.

Jiang Cui drooped her eyelids and sighed

"You can't understand what he's talking now, only I can understand it while guessing

For half a year, I had bedsores on the back of my buttocks, and I bought medicine to wipe it better. ”

Li Qing walked out of his father-in-law's room and muttered

Grunted

"It's only been a long time, how did you lose weight like this?"

Li Qing's eyes swept away, the worn-out quilt on the bed, not even a quilt cover, Li Qing stood

When I got to the bed, the blackened sheets, and when I touched them with my hands, the whole sponge pad was wet, and so was the quilt

Wet, how many bacteria should there be in there? It's no wonder if you don't have bedsores!

The picture that only appeared on TV quickly flashed in his mind, a thin old man with five guarantees

Alone and tired in the dirty, dark bed at home.

How can a patient with children, daughters, and relatives be as good as a person who has no children, no daughters, and no relatives?!

Let a healthy person sleep on such a damp sponge mat will also get sick!

The family is so insensitive, turning a blind eye, being weak and forbearing, it depends on what happens.

Li Qing turned around and walked to his room, took out a dry quilt from the cabinet, and prepared to spread it on Ouyang Lei's bed.

Jiang Cui resolutely refused,

Isn't it a waste to take out such a good quilt for him to use? ”

Li Qing was so angry that he couldn't stand it.

''A bed of quilts is reluctant, it's worth a few dollars, so much quilt is left to make it rotten?'' I'll take my own''

Li Qing dodged Jiang Cui, picked up the quilt, and the sister-in-law, who had always been weak, came over, and Li Qing and the sister-in-law were together

Take the old sponge pads and quilts on Ouyang Lei's bed to the sun and replace them with dry ones

Quilted.

The Ouyang brothers took Ouyang Lei's cotton jackets, cotton pants, and cotton shoes to the sun to dry.

Ouyang Chengjin said to Li Qing

"Since I came home on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, I can't take care of myself at all, haven't you seen us these days

When you go home, Dad is excited? Twenty-one can still eat by themselves.

In the past few days, we have been fed some liquid porridge and milk, and we can only eat half a bowl of each meal, which is to swallow

It is very difficult to swallow, and if you don't pay attention, you will choke and cough up

。 ”

Although Cheng Jin is tall, slightly fat, and has a bold personality, he is very careful when he waits for Ouyang Lei.

As long as Cheng Jin is at home, Ouyang Lei feeds him three meals a day, and tries to accompany Ouyang Lei as much as possible

Urinating on the side of the bed, sometimes looking at Ouyang Lei's appearance, this tall man is also in tears

Woof.

Ouyang is very different from this, and rarely goes to the bed to serve Ouyang Lei.

On the afternoon of the 28th day of the lunar month, it snowed in the sky, and after dinner, Chengjin returned to the county seat.

Ouyang clamored to get together with his friends. Ask Li Qing if he is going.

Li Qing looked at Ouyang and said angrily

"Your dad is so serious, are you still in the mood to go out?"

Ouyang's phone rang loudly, and he pouted to go, jumping from the gate to the room, and jumping from the room

Gate.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and then the big snow flakes like swan feathers floated up, and Ouyang was discouraged from going out

Idea.

Li Qing used one word to describe Ouyang most accurately, ---- rough!

The eldest sister-in-law said

"Dad, if he goes on like this, he probably won't survive for half a month."

The brothers and sisters were sad again.

Jiang Cui said expressionlessly

"If you're dead, you're dead, what's there to cry about!"

"Grandpa is really gone, you can't find anyone if you want to scold,

You at least have a companion alive, although you are busy and have a sustenance. ”

The eldest sister-in-law moved to Li Qing's room and sobbed.

"Seeing my dad like this, I feel so uncomfortable, woo..."

Li Qing lowered his head, listening to his sister-in-law sobbing and chattering, not knowing how to persuade.

Jiang Cui instructed everyone to prepare for it.

Li Qing said to Ouyang and Cheng Jin

"You two are at home these days, serve well
