Chapter 99 99. The great filial piety in the hall (1)
When it comes to wrestling, everyone has another topic.
Firstly, as you get older, you are not afraid of anything else but suffering from inability to move. Once you lie there unable to move, your energy will be gone in two or three months.
Secondly, it is hard to take care of the family. There is so much work inside and outside, and the injured and sick people are too busy to go out, and they have to be waited on at all times...
Lying down Those who take care of them also suffer.
This is the reason why there is no filial son before a long-term illness.
The guys chatted about this topic, and they all lamented about their age and body.
But Song Tan watched with cold eyes. This group of old men kept saying, but those who should drink drink, those who should smoke smoke, no one takes health care seriously, and they really mean it in their hearts. Really speechless.
Song Youde also drank a small glass of wine. At this moment, he thought about the people younger than him who just said no and disappeared. He sighed in his heart: "Sancheng, since you are going, you can go and have a look after dinner. Stay. Give me some help.”
“There’s no need to come back in a hurry. We have something going on at home, and they have to go too.”
This is the rule in the village. If you go to help someone else's family, then others will come to help you if your own family has something to do.
Of course, if this family doesn't let others help, then naturally no one will help when it's this family's turn.
There are many rules and regulations in rural areas, and there are many things to pay attention to. Unlike urban areas, as long as you give enough money, everything can be done with one-stop service. Many things here have to be managed together with relatives and friends.
The diners were all thinking: "We are leaving now, but we have to go up the mountain the day after tomorrow. They are all from the same village, and we have all paid homage before. Let's wait until tomorrow to go and pay our respects." ”
In Yunqiao Village, burials are still carried out today. The rules for burials are to carry the coffin up the mountain early in the morning, but entertaining guests, performing rituals, etc. are all done on the second day after the person leaves.
This person has just left, setting up a memorial tent, inviting Taoist priests, preparing tobacco, wine and tea, making an appointment with the chef... there are a lot of things going on!
Song Sancheng couldn't sit still anymore. After eating, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and went straight over: "I'll go and check the situation first."
The rest of the group talked, talked, and then They all took their tools and went up the mountain.
I don’t know where the young man who drove the excavator was found by Zhang Yanping. He is an honest man who is one of a thousand. Now that everyone has left, he thought about it and went up the mountain to continue working.
For other veteran workers, if their work was calculated by the day, I would not say that they would work overtime, but they would definitely not work overtime.
As soon as he started to move, the big guys naturally got busy, and it didn't take long for the matter to be forgotten.
Everyone in the village is older, so it’s normal for people to walk one or two.
Unexpectedly, within an hour, Song Sancheng went up the mountain angrily holding the rake.
Song Tan also brought Qiao Qiao here to help pull rocks and broken wood. Now seeing his father's angry face, she had no choice but to raise her voice as the machine roared and worked:
"Dad, what's going on?"
You went to help others, why did you come back like this?
Song Sancheng looked angry: "Don't mention it! The three children of this family are really nothing!"
When gossip was mentioned, several working gentlemen also He couldn't help but get excited and asked quickly:
"What's going on? Is the child unfilial?"
One of them advised: "Hey, Lao Song, please be more open-minded, child. If they fly away after being raised, what can they expect?”
"It's just that we don't see each other more than three or two times a year, so it's okay to live up to our reputation."
It would be great if that were the case!
Song Sancheng looked furious:
"What do you know? This is not a matter of filial piety or lack of filial piety. This is a matter of having the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog!" Huh!
Song Sancheng was a kind man. To describe him like this now must be something big!
Just listen to Song Sancheng say:
"As soon as I came over today, I heard the boss of his family calling the guy who was doing nothing arrogantly. The boss said with a loud voice. Pick the most expensive one! We also need a good shroud, an ice coffin, and some lively rituals..."
"I thought to myself, don't we old people just want to leave with dignity? This kid is fine, what happened behind his back is also a matter, and face is also a matter of love, right?”
“Who knew that Zhang Wang’s family just hit his son on the head with a hoe, and I didn’t know until he was pushed away by the big guy? What the hell is going on! ”
There are some lazy people in every village, but Zhang Wang's family and Sister-in-law Zhang are definitely not like that.
One of the couple is slightly lame and the other doesn't speak much, but both of them can do it.
At that time, we were suffering from famine and lack of food and clothing, so we had to raise three children.
At that time, they got married early and had children early. The eldest child is already forty this year, and the youngest daughter is also thirty-one or twelve years old. They are all married people with families.
Although few people come back usually, Zhang Jiawang’s face is full of pride when he mentions his children. Today he said that the children called again, and tomorrow he said that the children wanted to eat home-grown vegetables. Besides, the children bought something specially to see the old man...
Elderly people, don’t they all want to be filial to their children?
This is also the norm in the village.
But only each family knows whether the specific days are hot or cold.
Last week, on the day Song Tan went out to buy golden cherry blossoms, the eldest son of the Zhang family called and said he wanted to eat the pearl flowers from his hometown.
Pearl flower is a local wild vegetable. When the flower buds are just sprouting from the branches, there will be leaf buds one by one. It has a unique taste when it is blanched and fried with meat or noodles.
Sister-in-law Zhang went up the mountain with her basket. Unexpectedly, she didn't pay attention when she came down the mountain. She fell down and broke her leg.
Because I didn’t bring my mobile phone, it took half an afternoon to be discovered by Zhang Wang’s family. I asked a neighbor to help carry him into the house, and then I called my son. The son said impatiently:
< br>"Mom, you are such a big person, why are you always running to the mountains when you have nothing to do? We are short of food and drink at home!"
Then he said: "I am at work, how can I have time to come back? Home? It will take several hours to get back! Isn't my sister in town? You tell her to find a car to take you to the hospital."
The call was transferred to my daughter.
My daughter was not happy either and said, "The village is all raised by sons. Mom, you can't do anything because I'm close, so you're counting on me! For such a big thing as a broken leg, you have to call my brother. You ask my brother to call him." 120. ”
Well, 120 is willing to come to their place, and it costs five hundred for a trip.
The one-way trip alone takes more than an hour and a half. The ambulance comes back and forth, and it may take four hours to wait for someone to be taken to the hospital.
And in the ravines, the elderly are not good at locating. When the ambulance reaches the fork in the road, Zhang Jiawang has to ride in front of the motorcycle to guide the way.
Who can afford to wait for this?
Finally, I found the driver of the bus that runs from village to village, and then I quickly found a car to take the people away.
Half way there, the old lady’s condition looked bad, and the driver was also scared, so he hurriedly sent her to the nearest town hospital.
Pearl flower is really delicious, a kind of wild vegetable.
There are rules in some villages that you cannot kill anyone in your car, otherwise you will be unlucky for a long time. Drivers are also very careful when driving.
