Splendid peasant girl busy farming

5427 - Old man fainted from hunger

"Brother, I'm back."

Little old Yangtou blocked the vegetable basket from the door of the main room, entered the room, and yelled at old Yangtou's room.

Lao Yang hurriedly lowered his hands, lay down on the pillow and pretended to be asleep.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

Little old Yang came to the bed and asked in a low voice.

Lao Yang closed his head and eyes, breathing evenly and long.

Little old Yang was about to turn around and leave, when he accidentally saw the steamed bun rolled down to the bottom of the bed, and was stunned for a while.

He glanced at Old Yang's head again, the old man's eyelids seemed to move, and he turned over suddenly, muttering in his mouth as if talking in sleep, his face turned inward and his back turned outward, and there was the sound of snoring.

Little Old Yang remained calm, picked up the steamed bun that had rolled into his shoe and stuffed it into his sleeve. Before leaving, he pushed the small stool on which the bowls and chopsticks were placed in front of the bed towards the side of the bed before turning around and going out.

As soon as the little old Yang head left, the old Yang head on the bed moved.

He reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and choked on it.

When it was time to eat at night, the little old Yangtou brought the food into the house, and the old Yangtou didn't delay any more, he sat up and ate in silence.

"Brother, how does it taste? Is it delicious?" Little Old Yang asked.

Lao Yang said without raising his head, "It's okay."

The little old Yangtou smiled, and gave Lao Yangtou a dish with chopsticks, but the old Yangtou did not refuse.

Little old Yang was secretly happy, it seemed that the third and fourth knew his brother's temper, so he had to be hungry, and he couldn't get used to it, the more he got used to it, the worse his temper became, which made him very hungry, so he ate obediently.

Not only did he eat, but he didn't mention asking Yu Xingkui to come and serve him.

……

The dripping water turned to ice outside, but Mrs. Sun, Bao Suyun and the others still brought cotton-padded clothes and quilts to Old Yang.

Because little old Yangtou Zhai was kind-hearted and took in old Yangtou, Sun and his nieces and daughters-in-law were sensible, and by the way, they also prepared new bedding, cotton wool, clothes, shoes and socks for little old Yangtou.

Compared with the old Yangtou who was leaning on the bed and nestling in the house, with a pile of new clothes and quilts on the table but was unmoved, the little old Yangtou in the main room was holding his clothes, his eyes were red with gratitude.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, you bother me so much, this bad old man, I, I don't know what to say..."

Giving is a kind of joy, and receiving is also a kind of joy.

Seeing such a kind little old Yangtou, Sun and Bao Suyun were also moved.

"Uncle, you're being polite. We are all our own family, so we should take care of each other." Sun said.

When they left the little old Yangtou's house, Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun originally wanted to go to the old Yangtou's house to say something, but they were stopped by the little old Yangtou.

"You have something to do at home, go back."

Little Lao Yang shook his head and winked at the two of them.

The two of them understood, smiled knowingly, turned and left.

After the little old Yangtou packed his clothes, he came to the old Yangtou's room.

"He's gone?" Old Yang asked.

"Yeah, I just left." The little old Yang said, seeing the old Yang's clothes and bedding, he hurried over to tidy them up and put them in the cage one by one.

"It's nothing big or small. I thought it would be a big deal to send some clothes over here? It's outrageous not to even come to talk to me when I leave." Old Yang said angrily.

The little old Yangtou paused when he closed the cage, and turned his head to look at the aggrieved old Yangtou on the bed: "Brother, you blamed them wrongly. I asked them to go back to work first. We talked for so long in the main room earlier. I didn't hear any noise from your room, I thought you were asleep and didn't let them come in to wake you up, they are all good children."

Old Yang curled his lips: "You, just protect them, don't expect them to take care of you until the end of your life!"

Little old Yang turned his head around: "Brother, I don't like to listen to your words. I have my own grandchildren, daughter-in-law and great-grandchildren, and I have someone to support me in retirement!"

Old Yang was depressed.

"People say that having many children and grandchildren is a blessing. Hmph, it's all nonsense. Look at me, I have more than ten or twenty sons and grandchildren. In the end, my eternal immortal is the only one who is reliable."

"I am now looking forward to the prosperity of Yongxian's business, so that I can enjoy a few years of happiness."

Little old Yang smiled wryly: "Brother, you are too stubborn, you don't even think about who sent the cotton clothes and bedding in this cage, it's not Yongxian!"

Lao Yang shook his head: "My Yongxian is a man, and a man is going to have a big career. As for those clothes, shoes and socks, it doesn't matter."

Little old Yangtou is puzzled by this, food is the most important thing for the people, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most fundamental things for a person to exist in this world.

If you can't even take care of the most fundamental things, what's the use of talking about righteousness?

It's just drawing a big cake and hanging it there, and it's just this silly brother's letter.

……

Yang Huazhong came to visit Li Laogen's house again.

Li Xiaolian was feeding the chickens in the yard, while Li Mao was chopping firewood beside him, and the chopped firewood behind him was neatly stacked in a long row next to the courtyard wall.

Li Laogen squatted on a stone mill at the entrance of the main room and smoked a dry cigarette. Watching the pair of sons and daughters in front of him work, every smoke ring that Li Laogen exhaled from his mouth revealed relief.

Seeing Yang Huazhong coming to visit, Li Laogen immediately jumped off the stone mill and grinned at Yang Huazhong.

Mrs. Peng just got out of the stove, and when she saw Yang Huazhong approaching, she also grinned.

Compared with Li Laogen's simple and honest smile, Peng's smile is a bit silly.

"Third Uncle, are you here? Sit in the room."

Li Xiaolian greeted Yang Huazhong with a smile.

Li Mao also stopped what he was doing, and greeted Yang Huazhong: "Third Uncle is here, let's drink tea."

Yang Huazhong nodded in satisfaction, at that moment Li Laogen had come to Yang Huazhong.

"Third brother, sit in the house..."

The two sat down in the main room, Li Xiaolian came over to wash her hands, made tea and brought it to Yang Huazhong, and made another bowl for Li Laogen, before going out to feed the chickens.

Yang Huazhong took a sip of tea, his eyes following Li Mao's figure in the courtyard.

Li Laogen also looked at Li Mao following Yang Huazhong's gaze.

"Third son, I see Li Mao's appearance is almost the same as before. If I hadn't been sick and went to Qing'an County before, I would really think that I had a bad dream myself!"

Li Laogen looked at Li Mao, both relieved and apprehensive.

Yang Huazhong comforted Li Laogen: "Everyone will get sick, take care of it slowly, and you will be fine when the disease is cured."

Li Laogen nodded repeatedly.

Yang Huazhong continued: "The medicine can't be stopped. The doctor can tell that Li Mao is completely fine before he can stop the medicine. If the consultation fee is not enough, tell me, and I can help you find a solution."

Li Laogen opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat.

"Brother Lao Gen, just say whatever you want." Yang Huazhong said.

Li Laogen said: "Third brother, I am grateful for your kindness. Although the disease can be cured, I heard them say that the medicine is three-point poisonous. I am worried that Li Mao will take so much medicine at such a young age. It's not good for your body..."

Yang Huazhong said: "I still say that if you are sick, you have to be cured, and you can stop the medicine when you get well. You can't stop the medicine before the disease is cured."
