Chapter 18: It's hard to give up

Within a few days, the father and mother of the Ming and Qing dynasties came to the Yun family, saying that they missed their granddaughter, but in fact, they wanted to come and see their sick daughter.

Previously, during Cao'er's illness and after being discharged from the hospital, the old couple came, but the attention was mainly focused on their granddaughter, and they chatted with their daughter about Cao'er. But this time, Ming Qing's father and mother took turns hugging Cao'er for a while, and then put down their granddaughter who was asleep and cared about their daughter attentively.

"Daughter, let's come over, one is to see how Cao'er is recovering, and in addition, I did hear Yunxin mention that you have stomach pain, so I will stop by to take a look."

Ming Qingniang knew that her daughter was sensitive and worried that she would go to her heart.

Indeed, in this busy farming season, the old couple left a bunch of work at home and came to their daughter's house early in the morning, which felt a little unusual.

"Mother, I'm fine, but my chest is a little uncomfortable. How are your younger siblings at home? ”

The corners of Ming Qing's mouth pulled down, and a smile appeared to greet the situation at his parents' house.

"They are all very good, and they can do heavy and rough work."

"Your second brother will go home to visit relatives after a while, and the younger brother is in school, his grades are good, and the teacher praises him. My little sister also went to work with us, inside and out, very smart. ”

Ming Qingniang was afraid that her daughter would not be at ease, so she counted her younger brothers and sisters one by one.

"Oh, that's good. Dad, there are still a lot of farm work left to do at home, right? ”

Ming Qing turned his head again and asked his father who was sitting on the side.

"Yes, but it's fast, we and the next door family exchange time to plow the paddy field, their family will help our family after plowing, and we will go over to plant seedlings for their family for two days to work."

Ming Qing's father tried his best to relax his daughter's heart with a calm face.

"Well, it's my body, I can't help the family anymore."

Ming Qing's face suddenly couldn't be controlled, and a sad look flashed.

"Hey, this little bit of work is nothing, your mother and I are in good health, and your eldest brother and younger sister can do it well, so don't worry."

Ming Qing's father hurriedly comforted his daughter.

"Yes, the main thing for you now is to take care of it, take care of the grass, and you can't exhaust yourself, you have to take care of yourself......"

Ming Qingniang originally wanted her daughter to take care of herself first, but she didn't want her daughter to notice anything, so she had to change her words again. But at the end of these words, there was already a clear choking sound.

"Cao'er's grandmother is cooking in the kitchen alone, you go and help, I don't think she's too busy."

Ming Qing's father saw that Ming Qingniang couldn't hold it back, so he quickly found an excuse to let her emotions not be discovered by Ming Qing.

When Ming Qingniang walked to the kitchen stove, tears were already crawling all over her face.

Grandma Cao'er was standing next to the pot and stir-frying vegetables, and when she saw Ming Qingniang's sad appearance, she couldn't help but feel sad, so she had to persuade vigorously:

"Grandma Cao'er, don't be sad. Yunxin didn't let me tell you a few days ago, because I was afraid that you would be too sad and suffocate yourself, and Ming Qing would not be at ease. Now, everyone has to think better and have hope. ”

"Yes, I see that she is thin like that, her face is full of bones, sallow and sallow, where is she still the same as before......"

Ming Qingniang turned her back to the direction where Ming Qing and her father were sitting in the living room, wiping her tears and crying.

"Yes, it's thin. But she's okay, she can walk and move, and she can play with the grass. The explanation is still promising. The doctor in the city said it wasn't breast cancer, it was something in the chest, at least it wasn't the worst news, was it? “

Grandma Cao'er comforted Ming and Qing Niang, and the health of Ming and Qing was affecting the hearts of the two families.

In the living room, Ming Qing and his father were chatting. It just so happened that Ming Qing's position was facing away from the kitchen, so he didn't notice the emotional changes of his mother.

"Dad, you can drink it, but don't drink too much."

Ming Qing told his father.

Ming and Qing fathers must have wine, and it has to be liquor, and the wine brewed at home is drunk, so he goes to the small shop outside to drink the wine.

"Okay, what my daughter said, I agreed, and I did it, four drinks per meal, now change to two drinks per meal, okay?"

Ming Qing's father finally squeezed out a smile on his face, and his biggest interest in life was to take two sips. When it comes to wine, it's all lighter.

"Okay, we'll eat in a minute, you have to do what you say."

Ming Qing's mood was also a little lighter, and she said to her father with a smile.

At lunchtime, Grandma Cao'er knew that her father loved to drink in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so she warmed a pot of wine and filled it with her father. Ming and Qing's father also kept his promise to his daughter, and after drinking two cups, he didn't drink anything. Ming Qing couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it.

After a meal, I finally ate it peacefully.

In the afternoon, the father and mother of the Ming and Qing dynasties still accompanied their daughter and granddaughter, they walked for several kilometers, and when they saw their daughter so thin, they couldn't move their steps home.

Grandma Cao'er cleaned up the housework, and also sat and chatted with them for a while, so she went to the vegetable garden with a bucket as usual, and left the father and mother of the Ming and Qing dynasties to eat dinner and stay before leaving:

"It's rare for you to come here, just wait for Yunxin and his brothers to come back for dinner, don't go back today."

"Hey, we still have to go back, let's wait for Yunxin and their brothers to come back, meet together, and then go back."

Ming Qing Niang said.

"I want to go back, I still have to do the farm work at home, it's dark late this summer, and there are two of us, it's just cool to go back later!"

Ming and Qing Dad also said.

Ming Qingniang got up and chased her out and followed Grandma Cao'er in the corridor, saying:

"Mingqing's body is entrusted to grandma and everyone's care. We can't stay overnight, one is afraid that she will be too careful, and then I will live again, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it. Her little brother and sister are still too young at home, and Minglin has gone out to work again, so she may be able to go home early to take care of them. “

"Okay, since you said so, then I won't keep you two mouthfuls, don't be sad, just bring her younger brothers and sisters in the Ming and Qing dynasties to see her more......"

Grandma Cao'er looked at the sad Ming Qing Niang, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

"Alas, yes, less regret, we know ......"

Seeing that Ming Qingniang's tears were about to fall again, Ming Qing's grandmother couldn't see her tears, so she quickened her pace and said:

"Wipe away your tears and calm down, and go back to accompany her." I'm going to the vegetable garden now, and I'll come back early to cook for you, and I'll go back when you're done." “

"Okay, it's hard for her grandmother."

Ming Qingniang stopped and wiped her tears. After a while, he turned around and walked into the living room.

At half past five, Yunxin came back on his bicycle. He saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then looked at Ming Qing who was coaxing the grass, and felt a little relieved.

At around six o'clock, Grandma Cao'er had already made dinner, and Yun Xiu, who was working with the eldest sister and the second brother and the third brother during the summer vacation, came back with Yun Ling. After a while, the old Yuntou who was herding cattle also returned.

Yun Gang, Yun Jin and Yun Yi are still busy in the field, like this sunny day at the turn of summer and autumn, the busiest time, but also the best time to work, at noon Yun Yi and Yun Xiu will go home to bring food to the field, after eating, the big guy takes a nap under the shade of the tree, and after two o'clock at noon, he will come out to work, and will not go home from the field until it is dark at more than 7 o'clock.

Grandma Cao'er left some food and kept it warm in the cauldron, and when Yungang and the three brothers came back to eat, the others ate it with the father and mother of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The dishes were also very simple, but they were already very hearty at the time: they were all seasonal vegetables picked from Grandma Cao'er's garden, and a pot of minced meat and tofu, a plate of bitter gourd scrambled eggs, and a pot of poached egg soup.

During the meal, Ming and Qing fathers drank as usual, and they still stopped at two glasses, but his face was already flushed. Lao Yuntou's heart was not very good in his early years, and he couldn't drink, so he beckoned his father-in-law and mother to eat.

Yun Xin drank two glasses with his father-in-law, his expression was silent, and as usual, except for persuading his father-in-law and mother-in-law to eat, he didn't talk much.

Yun Ling politely beckoned the two elders to eat, and didn't dare to say anything else.

When Grandma Cao'er asked Yunxiu to serve rice to the two old men, Ming Qing stood up, took his parents' bowl, and insisted on serving rice for his father and mother.

The eyes of the two old men turned red all of a sudden, and they quickly lowered their heads to take the rice and ate it, Ming Qingniang's head was so low that her forehead was about to touch the rice in the bowl, and the tears fell into the bowl one by one, and the rice entered her mouth again.

Fortunately, the sleeping grass on the couch will wake up, and the Ming and Qing dynasties put down the dishes and chopsticks to hug the grass and eat rice cereal, and the meal can be regarded as a peaceful past.

When the two old men were about to go back, Ming Qingniang took her daughter Mingqing's hand, looked at her granddaughter Cao'er, who was still waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes, and almost couldn't control it and cried in front of Mingqing.

Ming Qing's father, who was standing next to his daughter, was also sad, but he had to take his wife's other hand and pull it out, saying:

"Let's go, let's go, it's getting dark, I can't see the road clearly, what's there next time."

Yun Xin also quickly stood up, separated his wife from his mother-in-law, and said:

"Mother, Dad is right, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to see it, and Ming Qing and we are all worried. I'll send you and Dad back. “

Yun Xin diverted his words, and everyone's attention shifted to the question of whether Yun Xin wanted to send the second elder home.

At the insistence of Yunxin and Grandma Cao'er, he still sent the second elder home.

At his mother-in-law's house, the family was sad and sad for a while, and Yun Xin rode a bicycle home.
