The doctor was a little unhappy when his medical skills were questioned, but he still patiently explained to them: "It is a very dangerous thing for elderly people to fall, and strokes are also very common, this is the case with your mother now, and her situation is a little strange, according to our examination, the injury on her waist is actually not serious, so I suggest that she should be hospitalized for observation." ”

Out of professional ethics, the doctor still gives them clear doubts and gives pertinent advice.

But to the ears of the three brothers of the Xu family, it is that the doctor in front of them wants them to spend more money!

Their father is so serious, people are in a coma, but it's not good to wake up now?

My mother just has pain in her lower back, and no one is in a coma, how can it be worse than my father?

It must be that the hospital wants to make more money, so it fools them countrymen!

The three brothers had surprisingly the same idea, and they were determined to bring Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu back.

The doctor had seen a lot of such a situation, and he had already seen it no strange, and since the family did not want to treat the patient, he could only agree to let them go back.

With the doctor's permission, the three brothers of the Xu family were even more convinced that the doctor was fooling them.

Back in the ward, one by one, they carried Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu to the ox cart and called the captain to go home.

The captain didn't agree with the three brothers of the Xu family, but after saying a few words, seeing that they didn't listen, he didn't say anything.

Anyway, it's their father, even if Mrs. Xu really has a stroke in the future, it will be the Xu family who will take care of it, so he still shouldn't worry about that.

Xu Qingmu's family didn't know about the situation of Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu, and they didn't plan to go to the Xu family's old house to inquire about the situation.

After dark, the family went to sleep as usual.

The next day, Xu Qingmu got up early in the morning, did the work at home, ate breakfast, and went to the captain with the family separation certificate.

Today he is going to open a household registration.

When he went out, the sky was a little gloomy, Cui Lanhua took the coat to him, "Master, see that it is going to rain this day, you take this with you, don't get drenched, and come back early." ”

Xu Qingmu took the coat and said, "Don't worry, I'll come back when I'm done." ”

Cui Lanhua said again, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow to go, it's not easy to travel if it rains heavily late." ”

"It's okay, it shouldn't rain so early." Xu Qingmu shook his head.

He's been looking forward to it for days, and now that he's finally free, he can't wait any longer.

He also planned to go to the secretary's house to borrow a bicycle, and when the time came, he would take the captain there, and the round trip would be faster.

Seeing that he insisted, Cui Lanhua did not continue to persuade.

Cui Lanhua thought that Xu Qingmu should be able to come back soon after a trip to the commune, after all, riding a bicycle back and forth, plus the time to run errands, it would take less than two hours.

As a result, by noon, it began to rain heavily, and Xu Qingmu had not yet returned.

Because there was no sun, she cut all the bamboo shoots she got back yesterday and soaked them. Part of it is used for stir-frying, and part of it is used to make sour bamboo shoots.

As for the dried bamboo shoots, just wait for the weather to clear before pulling them out.

After the bamboo shoots were boiled and soaked, she went to the room and took out a piece of cloth, sewed clothes for the family with her eldest daughter, and taught the following girls needlework by the way.

Rural people are reluctant and have no money to buy ready-to-wear clothes, and the clothes of the family are sewn by the women of the family themselves.

The second daughter is almost old enough to marry, and it's time to learn needlework.

In the past, there was no division at home, and there was no such condition, so she could only let her watch from the side while she was sewing and mending clothes, but now that she has the fabric, Cui Lanhua ruthlessly cut a small piece down and let her try to do it herself.

There's no way, the old clothes at home still have to be worn out, and she can't be ruined.

Xu Shuyue was very surprised by the brand-new cloth that Cui Lanhua took out, but thinking of what her father said yesterday, they didn't ask anything.

They will do whatever their mother tells them to do.

The cloth is made of broken flowers on a white background, which is suitable for girls to wear, and Cui Lanhua is also ready to be used to make clothes for several children.

She said as she did it: "You can wear these clothes at home for the time being, and then wear them out when our family gets up, you know?" ”

Xu Shuyue nodded, "Mother, we know, don't worry." ”

Xu Shuyu said: "Mother, we all listen to you." ”

The rain was ticking on the tiles.

Looking at the pouring rain outside the door, Cui Lanhua's eyes were full of worry, "Why hasn't your father come back yet?" With such heavy rain, I don't know if he has a place to hide from the rain? ”

Xu Shuxin watched her eldest sister fly the needle in her eyes, and comforted her in her mouth, "Mother, don't worry, my father is such a big person, he will definitely find a place to hide from the rain." ”

Xu Shuyan: "Yes, mother, my father didn't come back so late, maybe he was stumped by something." ”

Speak of the devil.

No sooner had they finished saying these words than a figure appeared in the pouring rain.

The rain was so heavy that at first they couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but when they got closer, they found that the person who was drenched in soup was their father.

Cui Lanhua put down a semi-finished piece of clothing in her hand and walked to the door, "It's raining so hard, you don't know how to hide, come in and change your clothes, there is ginger soup boiling in the pot, I'll serve you a bowl." ”

Xu Xuxin followed behind Cui Lanhua and was the first to run out, "Dad, why have you been there for so long, we are worried about you at home." ”

Xu Shuyan was not far behind, "Dad, why don't you hide from the rain outside?" It's easy to catch a cold when it's raining. ”

Xu Shuyue also followed, with worries in her eyes.

Hearing that Cui Lanhua was going to serve ginger soup, Xu Shuyue said, "Mother, I'll go." ”

Xu Qingmu stopped her, "Don't go, I'll go, save you from raining." ”

There is an eaves from the hall to the kitchen, but because the rain is too heavy, it will still be carried by the rain.

Xu Qingmu said as he walked towards the kitchen: "I'll build a longer canopy when I have time, so that it won't be carried by the rain when it rains heavily." ”

"Then I'll get you clothes." Cui Lanhua said as she walked into the room between the two of them.

Xu Qingmu went to the kitchen, and a bowl of steaming ginger soup went down to his stomach, which was warm from his throat to his stomach.

He came out of the kitchen, and at the door of the hall, unbuttoned his robe and hat, and then went into the house to change his clothes.

When he changed his clothes and came out, he told his daughter-in-law and children why he came back so late.

When listening to him, Xu Shuxin didn't forget the important things his father went to do today.

The seven heads came together and looked through the household registration book that belonged to their family—a book with the words "household registration book" written on the cover.

Turning the cover, the first page is the head of the household, Xu Qingmu, and then Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuyue...... Until Xu Shuxin.

It's all handwritten.

Xu Shuxin also looked at the name and information on it, and nodded with satisfaction when she found that it was right.

"Actually, I arrived at the entrance of the village before it rained, and it was the captain who told me about your grandmother's situation, and it happened that your uncle came again, so I went there for a trip."

"How's Daddy's doing? Got back from the hospital? Cui Lanhua asked.

Xu Shuxin also looked at Xu Qingmu, waiting for his answer.

"Came back, came back last night."

"Huh? Isn't it serious that my father is in a coma? Do you not need to be hospitalized? ”

Like the three brothers of the Xu family, they all thought that Old Man Xu was in a coma at that time, so his condition was the most serious.

The hospital that went to the noon and pulled the person back at night, isn't it serious?

Xu Qingmu wiped his face, "Dad has woken up, and now he can get up and walk around by himself, and he still has the strength to scold people, it doesn't seem like a big deal." ”

"What about my milk?" Xu Shuyan asked.
