Chapter 259: We Will Always Be Brothers
Worried that Tang Dashan was too excited, Aunt Tang was so frightened that she moved to the kang and sat beside Tang Dashan, staring at the old man without blinking, stretching out her two arms to support her at any time.
"Get out of the way, get me a dry tobacco pouch......
Tang Dashan smashed his pale lips and yelled at Aunt Tang.
Tian Lanfang hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over, while Aunt Tang hurriedly jumped off the kang, looking for matches and dry tobacco bags, so busy.
Drinking a sip of tea and smashing a few mouthfuls of dry tobacco pouches, Tang Dashan told the story.
More than 20 years ago, Tang Dashan, who was the captain of the brigade, took the big guy to break corn in the cornfield.
At that time, I ate a big pot of rice to earn work, and if I didn't work, I had no food to eat. The laborers were assigned to the fields to do the heavy work of chopping corn stalks and plowing the ground, and children and women kept up with the elderly and picked corn husks in the threshing floor.
This work is considered a light and brisk, but after a long time, both hands are grinding bloody, tired back pain, and I can't stand up.
Li Kangningniang, who is pregnant with Liujia, is in the ranks of picking corn husks, after the child is born, she has to take care of the child, and she can't work in the field for several months, and the man is a sick seedling, so she has to work hard.
She was already due to delivery, perhaps because she was overworked, and the effort to stand up and move her body and bones began to have seizures.
Before she could go home, she gave birth to a baby boy in the bridle rice pile in the threshing floor.
The baby boy was thin and small, with a small head the size of a goose egg. Soon after giving birth to the child, Li Kangningniang, who was bleeding too much and weak, fainted on the spot.
What's even more anxious is that Li Kangning's father, who has always been frail and sickly, saw that the two of them were in a situation, and vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Tang Dashan, who was the captain of the team, asked his mother-in-law to wrap up the child, and arranged for two laborers to drag Li Kangning's father and mother to the town health center.
The two of them were treated with injections in the health center, and Tang Dashan's mother-in-law rushed to the health center in a hurry with the newborn child in her arms, saying that the child looked wrong and couldn't breathe.
The doctor at the health center didn't dare to stay, saying that he would have to go to the county hospital to see it.
This is a life, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it cannot be given up.
Tang Dashan had to take the thin child to the county seat, but the poor child's body was too weak, and he didn't wait to walk to the hospital when he came to the county seat, and the child was breathing.
Tang Dashan was very depressed, Li Kangning and his family were weak, if they learned that the child was not saved, how could they withstand this blow! I'm afraid that a family of three will go together!
Just when he was holding the child and turning around in circles at the entrance of the hospital, he saw an old lady dressed like a city person, throw a swaddling baby at the entrance of the hospital, turn around and leave.
The upright man can't see these the most, there are many mosquitoes in July and August, this child is placed at the door of the hospital for a night, not gnawed by mosquitoes, but also bitten by rats!
He picked up the child and thought about chasing the old lady, where was the shadow of the old lady?
When I opened the swaddling clothes, I saw that the child was a baby boy, about the size of a baby who had died, and the only thing in the swaddling clothes was this jade pendant.
The baby was very healthy, his eyes were shining, and when he held it in his arms, he kept babbling at him.
The kind-hearted Tang Dashan was so distressed that he scolded the old lady who threw the child five hundred times in his heart, holding the child but not knowing where to go.
He hesitated for a moment, and immediately came up with such a way to be stiff.
He dug a pit near the hospital and buried the dead baby, and returned to the village with the baby he had picked up.
"It was unstable, it was unstable. I'm worried that the child is the child of someone with a problematic background, and if he finds out, it will be a loss of his head. So I didn't say anything about it, and I was going to rot it in my stomach. Lao Li and his wife didn't know that the child had been dropped by me until they died, and this matter was like a stone, pressing on my heart. One day, I can't stand to go down and meet Lao Li and his wife, and I will kowtow to them in person to apologize."
The people in the room were already in tears.
Li Kangning was just about to speak, Don
The mountain waved at him.
"Corning, you've been tired all these years. After Jianning came to this family, two years later, your mother gave birth to Jianhong again, and it didn't take long for your father and mother to be gone, and you were a half-old child, pulling Jianning and Jianhong like adults. If it weren't for my wrong decision back then, you wouldn't be so tired, suffering these crimes, and even causing you to marry a scoundrel like Lai Lihua......
Li Kangning shook his head desperately, sobbing and unable to speak.
Tang Dashan's decision back then was not wrong, if he hadn't brought Jianning back, his father and mother might not have survived for a few years.
It is precisely because of Tang Dashan's decision that he has a younger brother and sister, and he has flesh and blood relatives.
Moreover, over the years, Tang Dashan has been taking care of him openly and secretly, letting him work briskly when he goes to work, and when distributing food, the three children are divided according to the amount of adults, and often secretly send food and drink to the house, most of the clothes of the three brothers and sisters are made by Aunt Tang.
In his heart, he already regarded Tang Dashan as a relative.
Tang Dashan picked up the jade pendant in his hand.
"This jade pendant looks like a high-quality product, and ordinary people don't have this thing. Originally, I was always worried that once Jianning's life experience was exposed, it would cause our two families to die, but now it seems that the sky has indeed changed, and if this matter is spoken, it will not cause anything."
Tang Dashan solemnly put the jade pendant in Li Jianning's hands.
"Over the years, it has not been easy for Corning to pull you to grow up. Your eldest brother has a weak temper, and he can't say a word when he suffers hardships. In order to pull you and your sister to grow up, how much suffering he has endured and how many sins he has suffered, you know in your heart. As the so-called eldest brother is like a father, there is no your eldest brother, and there is no you today. So Jianning, promise uncle, you have a good life, you must pull and pull your eldest brother......
"Grandpa......
Li Jianning was already in tears.
He sees the hard work of the eldest brother, even if he has no blood relationship with the eldest brother, in his heart, the eldest brother will always be the eldest brother! The two of them will always be brothers.
He nodded solemnly.
"Also, Jianning, I'm old, I'm really powerless about the affairs of the village, I originally wanted you to serve as the village party secretary, you have the ability, courage and ability, and you are a party member, you are the most suitable. But I know that you don't belong to our village, and you will have to leave here sooner or later, so I thought, let Dajiang serve as the village party secretary of our village, you won't have an opinion on the uncle, right?"
Li Jianning shook his head with tears in his eyes and held Tang Dashan's hand tightly.
How could he have an opinion, it was Tang Dashan who saved his life, the old man had been planning for him, and Tang Dashan's thoughts coincided with his thoughts.
