Thinking so, the second uncle stepped out of the threshold with his feet, and before he could reach the door of the house, he retreated. He was in a hurry to go out to find a doctor, except for an old Chinese medicine doctor who was too old to look good, all of them were interns who came out of the school just now, how many doctors could see a doctor, if they brought the patient to them for experiments, they would not delay Erniang!

The second uncle stood at the door and hesitated, his mind suddenly remembered what happened some time ago. A young doctor in the village injected medicine into an old man with a cold, because he mixed too much medicine, the old man went home and lay on the kang with his chest covered and tossed for less than half an hour, and passed away. Later, even though the little doctor compensated the old man's family a lot of money, he couldn't buy back the old man's life. He looked back at Erniang, who was tossing and turning on the kang, and couldn't bear to send Erniang, who was in an unknown condition, to their hands for treatment.

Thinking like this, the second uncle returned to the house, and was in a hurry in the house, and when she went out to find someone again, she suddenly heard Sun Guodong's black dog barking in the yard, and a thought immediately flashed in his mind: "Hurry up and send Erniang to the county hospital!" So, without even thinking about it, he said to Erniang: "The doctor in the village, I really can't believe it, if you stay in the house for a while, I'll go to the East Courtyard to find Guodong and ask him to drive you to the county hospital!" ”

The second uncle didn't wait for Erniang to reply, he hurriedly walked out of the door. He took three steps as two steps and soon came to the door of Sun Guodong's house, and when he saw a big lock on the deadbolt, he knocked on it. He knocked and shouted: "Guodong, hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door!" Your second sister-in-law is sick! Hurry up and open the door! ”

The big black dog in the yard, hearing the heavy voice of the second uncle, hurriedly jumped out of the kennel, put its two front legs on the windowsill, and barked wildly. Its cry caused a panic, people did not know what was happening, and the alley was soon lit up with lights.

The barking of the dog woke Sun Guodong from his dream. He listened sideways, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard shouting him, he hurriedly turned on the electric light and pushed Xiaohong's mother: "Listen, it seems to be the voice of the second brother of the West Courtyard, it's so late, he ran to the door and called me, is there something urgent at home?" Sun Guodong said, hurriedly got dressed, and before Xiaohong's mother could speak, he had already walked out quickly.

"Put on your coat, it's so cold outside, beware of a cold!" Xiaohong's mother also felt strange, she quickly got dressed, and then followed. When she saw the second uncle with his hands in his sleeves and walking back and forth anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, she knew that something was wrong.

When the second uncle saw them come to the door, he hurriedly shouted loudly:

"Guodong, hurry up and go into the hospital to put the carriage on and follow me into the city, your second sister-in-law has a sudden illness, and she can't toss on the kang, if you don't go to the hospital, it will be a big trouble! I'll go back and dress your second sister-in-law now and wait for you to ......" The second uncle said eagerly, after he finished greeting, he hurriedly walked back, and when he returned home, he found a few cotton clothes and quickly put them on Erniang, while waiting for Sun Guodong to set up a car, he took out the money from the closet.

Sun Guodong quickly returned to the courtyard, and he took out the big white horse from the stable. After the autumn harvest, the big white horse recuperates in the stable. Eat good forage every day, drink clean well water, and when it's okay, you have to follow Sun Guodong out for a walk, for a ride, and it has a spirit all over its body. Sun Guodong put the splint on its neck, and it stood in the middle of the courtyard like a soldier on an expedition.

Now, it stood in the wheel, majestic and vigorous, as if it had inexhaustible strength up and down. It waited quietly for the courtyard door to open, and it ran all the way.

Xiaohong's mother also got dressed, and then followed, and she took out a wad of money from the cabinet before going out. She thought very thoughtfully, afraid that the second uncle's family would be short of money, in case she needed surgery when she arrived at the hospital, where would she borrow money in the middle of the night?

After the carriage was set, Sun Guodong drove it to the door of the second uncle's house, he put down the whip, tied the reins of the horse to the battlement of his house, and hurried into the house to carry the second mother out. Xiaohong's mother also took a quilt from the house, put it in the trunk, and when the second uncle locked the door, several people sat in a carriage and hurried to the direction of the city under the frost and snow.

After they arrived at the hospital, Erniang was immediately pushed into the emergency room by several nurses. Xiaohong's mother ran upstairs and downstairs, she finished registering for Erniang, paid the medical fees and surgery fees, and then stayed in the corridor. Wait for the news of Erniang's surgery.

After being diagnosed and treated by doctors, Erniang had acute gastric perforation, and after she was rescued in the emergency room for three hours, she touched Hades's nose, and finally she was not left behind, and she came back to life in one breath. She was pushed unconscious from the emergency room by the nurse and spent another day in the intensive care unit before being placed in a general ward.

Fortunately, she was rescued in time, and Erniang was able to get out of danger. Because there was no one to take care of her at home, Erniang stayed in the hospital for a week, and before her body recovered, she was busy leaving the hospital early. When she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told her to go home to recuperate and eat more stomach-nourishing food. Seeing that she insisted on leaving, he had to let her come back.

After Erniang's operation, her body became weaker and weaker, and when she returned home, she collapsed. She lay on the kang for more than a month before she could barely get up and walk around the house. Erniang didn't tell his son Wenhui the news of the operation, and he didn't know where he heard about it, so he rushed back from the city overnight.

But Erniang didn't want her illness to drag down her son, so she never agreed. It is said that people move to live, trees move to die, but the homeland is difficult to leave, and the things that Erniang is reluctant to give up are not only the two earthen houses, but also the small courtyard of the two earthen houses.

The tree is 100 feet high, and the leaves fall back to the roots. Wen Hui has been doing ideological work at home for more than a month, and finally made sense of Erniang. But as soon as she mentioned moving to the city, Erniang burst into tears. She thought that as soon as she left, she would cut off all thoughts, and she might never come back.

The old couple has lived in the countryside for most of their lives, and they have not saved anything of value. In addition to a few acres of land for the two of them, and then these two earthen houses, although the broken house is worth ten thousand, he can't take anything away. The land can be rented to others to plant, and the house can not be put on a wheel and pushed away, and it is a pity to sell it, the rafters of these two houses are all good wood, although a little old, but after the cover, the straight purlins on the roof are removed, which is enough to make the door frames and window frames of the three tiled houses.

Distant relatives don't rush to close neighbors, the second uncle thought about it and discussed it with Wen Hui for a long time, and decided to sell the house to Sun Guodong. For this reason, the second uncle came to the house and said to Xiaohong's mother: "His second aunt, our two families have been neighbors for more than 20 years, like a family, and I won't hide some words." This is not Wenhui, so I have to go to live in the city with your second sister-in-law. Don't go, child's mind. Go ahead, living with your daughter-in-law is troublesome and inconvenient, but there is no way to do it. Your second sister-in-law and I want to come and go, or do you want to go to the city with my son! Let's go, sooner or later there will be this day! The second uncle shook his head helplessly, and in his sighs one after another, Xiaohong's mother saw his difficulty.

"To raise children to prevent old age, you have to go to your son sooner or later, you are right to think so! Many people in the family take care of the second sister-in-law, it is better than you to take care of it alone, go to the city, and there is a son and a grandson by your side, maybe when you are happy, the second sister-in-law's illness will get better! Xiaohong's mother nodded, she very much agreed with the second uncle's idea.

"I'm here today to discuss something with the two of you. There is nothing of value in this house, just these two earthen houses and a small courtyard. Your second sister-in-law doesn't want to sell it to others, seeing that the two of you can make a living, she wants to leave it to you, even if it is a little less money and a few days late! I've been thinking about this for a long time, and seeing that you've been so busy all day, I haven't poured out my efforts to tell you, and you two have also discussed, if you think it's okay, this house will be left to you, and if not, I'll sell it to someone else. ”

The second uncle's words have already been said to be home, Xiaohong's mother also thinks that Si'er is not small, and she should also ask the matchmaker to talk about family affairs, taking advantage of the fact that the family has saved a lot of money in the past two years, it is more than enough to buy the house in the second uncle's house, but now the house is also empty, if the house is empty for too long and the popularity is not strong, it will affect the luck of the family. Xiaohong's mother was silent for a long time, she looked at the second uncle, and then at Sun Guodong, but did not answer. She has her thoughts, she has this plan for the time being, young people like freedom, this house is so close to her, she doesn't know if Si'er Tong agrees to buy it.

Sun Guodong sat there and kept his head bowed and silent, after all, buying these two houses is not a matter of three melons and two dates, and it is also empty when he buys them, he has no preparation in his heart, and it is difficult to make a decision.

The second uncle saw Xiaohong's mother embarrassed, and smiled bitterly: "If you don't want to buy it, it's okay, it doesn't matter if we sell it to others." I have lived in this house for more than 40 years, and I can't bear to see anywhere. Your second sister-in-law means that people are not close to the land but also close to it, we are leaving, and I don't know when I will come back, although the house is a little old, it is a pity to sell it to irrelevant people next to it. We don't mean anything else, we just want to leave you a memory. ”

Sun Guodong's heart softened when he heard the second uncle say this, he glanced at Xiaohong's mother, patted his thigh, and said happily: "Second brother, I left this house, you can find a middleman in a while, let's write a contract!" The money is ready-made, it's all in the passbook, if you need it urgently, when you finish writing the contract, I'll let Xiaohong's mother go to the bank to get it back! Sun Guodong's decision was a surprise to Xiaohong's mother, in front of the second uncle, she couldn't refuse, so she had to acquiesce.

"Not busy! Not busy! You can pay this money whenever you want! Your second sister-in-law and I are not in a hurry to use the money! Wen Hui also said, the second uncle and aunt are not outsiders, and you have taken care of us all these years, so you don't have to take this money to heart. The second uncle waved his hand and kept talking.
