Chapter 4899: Overstretched
Looking at the old Yangtou in front of him who was crying like a child, Yang Huazhong was stunned.
In his memory, his father was always so majestic, so aloof, always telling the truth, spitting and nailing.
Even though he was partial to Dafang, he showed his favoritism like a parent, so that others dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
In his feeling, his father is the kind of person who will never collapse, just like the majestic Mianniu Mountain behind the village. It will never collapse, let alone his son. Putting such a posture in front of him.
But at this moment, I felt the tight grip on my sleeve by my father, and looked at the gray-haired old man in front of me, sobbing, mumbling words of begging in his mouth, begging him not to give up treatment and to help. He treats...
Yang Huazhong's chest heaved violently, and he had an indescribable feeling.
Sad? pain?
He couldn't tell.
He just stretched out his hand to hold his father's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Dad, don't worry, I am your son, I will not ignore you! Don't worry!"
Old Yang was startled for a moment, then nodded, and then his crying gradually subsided.
Yang Huazhong stayed by the bedside for a long time, until Old Yang fell asleep, and then he turned and left.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they met Mrs. Sun and Yang Huazhou coming together. Mrs. Sun was still holding the dinner for Old Yangtou in her hand.
"Don't go in yet, dad just fell asleep." Yang Huazhong said to the two of them.
Ms. Sun glanced at the sky. Dusk had just fallen, and it was time for dinner.
"Why are you sleeping already? You haven't eaten dinner yet," she said softly.
Yang Huazhong waved his hand: "Let's do this for now. Let him sleep for a while. Let's go to the main room."
In the main room, Yang Huazhong told Sun and Yang Huazhou about the previous matter of old Yangtou. That said.
After hearing this, the two of them were also dumbfounded.
Yang Huazhou sighed and said: "Hey, our dad is really old. He has refused to admit defeat all his life. When he got to this stage, he was completely panicked."
Mrs. Sun was also full of emotion. According to her father-in-law's strong temper, it would have been impossible to say such pleading words in the past when he could run and walk.
Hey, it really sounds so sad and sad.
Yang Huazhong said: "I plan to make arrangements for my family in the next two days. On the tenth day of the lunar month, I will take my father to the county for leg treatment."
Yang Huazhou thought about it and said: "Third brother, I will go with you You go together."
Sun said: "Lao Wu, didn't you originally say you would go back to Qing'an County after the Lantern Festival? Both Suyun and Mianmian want you to stay at home for a few more days! ”
Yang Huazhou smiled bitterly and said: "Dad is already like that. How can I think of staying at home for a few more days? Why don't I pack up and send dad to the county hospital for leg treatment with my third brother? At least I can get treatment at the county hospital." I will stay with him for five or six days, and then we will leave directly from the county seat to Qing'an County."
Yang Huazhong did not stop Yang Huazhou. Indeed, he could not do it on his own.
The old man was so big that he couldn't carry it for long by himself, so he had to have a brother by his side to help him.
"Then, when Lao Wu goes to Qing'an County, what will Dad do?" asked Sun again.
Yang Huazhong said: "There is also Yongxian Yongjin Yongzhi and the others, let's take their turn!" Sun thought for a moment, "If it doesn't work, let's call the fourth brother too. These days, Dad With this look, the fourth child is also very worried. He is afraid that his father does not want to see him and only dares to secretly inquire about his father's situation with me. I can see that the fourth child also really cares about our father. "
In this regard, Yang Huazhou did not express his position.
And Yang Huazhong said: "We can't make the decision on this matter. It depends on our father whether we want the fourth child to come back. But our father can't stand the excitement of this situation. Who can Dare you mention the fourth child? It will be extremely exciting then!”
The news that Lao Yangtou was going to the county town for leg treatment on the tenth day of the first lunar month was quickly passed on to other families, including Yang Huamei.
When the old Wang family was having dinner, Wang Shuanzi and Yang Huamei said cautiously: "Mei'er, I heard that your third brother and fifth brother are taking your father to the county town for leg treatment on the tenth day of the lunar month. Is this true? ?”
Yang Huamei nodded: "This matter cannot be false."
Wang Hongquan nodded: "Your third brother and fifth brother are both true filial sons. Your father is lucky to have sons like them!"< br>
Yang Huamei smiled bitterly.
No matter how lucky you are, you are not as lucky as being able to run and jump.
Wang Hongquan continued: "Mei'er, tell me, can we take a ride and take Dabai with us to the county town to have his leg treated?"
When it comes to Dabai, Yang Huamei's hands holding the vegetables paused.
The splints and bandages on the child's feet have been removed, and he can walk on the ground, but he is left with sequelae and is limping.
Seeing that Yang Huamei remained silent, Wang Hongquan glanced at Wang Shuanzi again, who also looked solemn.
But seeing the longing look in his old father’s eyes, Wang Shuanzi still had to bite the bullet and said to Yang Huamei: “Mei’er, what I want to say is what I want to say. Otherwise, let’s take Dabai to the county seat and try again. Let’s see? The county doctor’s medical skills and medicines are probably better than those of our villagers.”
Yang Huamei raised her head, glanced at the Wang family father and son in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to go to the county town to show Dabai's legs, but do you know? In the first month, we went to the town several times to show his legs, and it was already spent. I got more than two taels of silver. This money was raised by my mother-in-law last time, and it’s almost gone.”
"This trip to the county town to see the legs, why don't we have to bring four or five taels of silver? We can't rely on my third brother and fifth brother to eat, drink, and cure our legs, right? But what about the money? Our family can squeeze out four or five taels now. Is the money coming?”
When the money was mentioned, the Wang family and his son suddenly withered.
A penny is a hero, let alone four or five taels of silver?
"Are we going to just forget about Dabai's leg? No treatment?" Wang Hongquan murmured.
"This child is still so young, only twelve years old. There is still a long way to go. If he is lame, let alone study, it will be difficult to get a wife in the future. What should we do?" Wang Hongquan was at a loss. .
Wang Shuanzi could only sigh.
As for Yang Huamei, besides being annoyed, she is also filled with regret, regret for her lavish spending and regret for not being good at running her family.
In the past, when the children had little money to spend, the father-in-law took care of the crops, and Shuanzi also earned income by guarding the gate of the school. He raised some chickens and ducks at home to supplement the family income, and his parents' family provided covert subsidies.
Life was very prosperous in those few years. I bought meat and fish every three days. I went to town every ten and a half months to buy snacks for the children and to wear clothes for myself.
Life was comfortable at that time, and I didn’t know how to save money. I always thought that everything would be fine and that life would get better and better as the children grew up.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the children are no longer the two children who could just grab a handful of candy canes and buy two toy slingshots. They have grown up, seen the colorful world outside, and seen the town. If they follow the lifestyle of young men from wealthy families, the children will become more ambitious and want more things.
However, the family's income cannot keep up with their growing ambitions, and the children have a psychological gap, which is getting bigger day by day. In order to make up for it, the family also tries their best to make up for it. Every time they go back to town, Visiting them, spending pocket money on food and clothing, everything is essential, just to make them hold their heads high in front of their classmates in the town...
Now, it is really necessary to spend a lot of money to treat diseases. It's time to run out of money!
