Li Changqing came back in a hurry after receiving a call from his wife, but when he came back he was not at ease, not happy, and even worse. He thought that this job was introduced by his relatives, and that if he was more reliable, he would be able to get paid, but the result was that they waited for a long time, and when they tried all kinds of methods to stop people at the door, he still didn't get a penny. In the end, he went home with his tattered luggage, a pair of mahjong they used to play, and a cloth bag full of broad beans. He originally had a reliable job, but he heard relatives say that this job can make more money, so he went here because of greed. Unexpectedly, after the work was done, the contractor ran away, and the relatives didn't care about it. Sure enough, you can't be greedy, Li Changqing decided to go home full of regret for himself.
Li Changqing put down his luggage and went to see his father at his fourth brother's house before he could even drink his saliva. He has gone out to work for more than three months, and he has not seen his father for more than three months. Even though his father used to treat him badly in every possible way, his father was his father, his blood-related father.
"Dad, can you see me? I'm the second child. Dad." Rural people don't know how to be sensational, but they have human instincts. Before Li Changqing stepped into his father's hospital bed, he didn't think he would cry. However, when he said "Dad", his voice choked up, and his tears burst out.
Li Yongsheng had already had a fever to the point of fuzziness, but relying on the sense of blood connection, he still felt the arrival of his son. He tried hard, struggling to open his eyes. Finally, amidst Li Changqing's constant shouts, a gap was opened under his own strong will, and under the yellow light from the dim light bulb, it was so dim and so non-existent. But, he saw it, he saw his son's blurred face.
"Xiao Er, Dad is sick. He, they, won't treat me. I don't want to die. I don't want to die." He said these words intermittently, and no one bothered him. Although Li Changqing burst into tears, he still suppressed the discomfort in his heart and listened intently to his father's words.
"Dad, tomorrow and tomorrow we will go to the hospital to treat your illness, and we will also lend you money to treat your illness and treat you." Li Changqing uttered every word so firmly that he did not lie. He is notoriously a filial son, and he owes a lot to his own family for his parents all these years. He has been working desperately to make money, and he has never been lazy for a minute, but his ability is too limited, and there are too many people who need him to support.
"Xiao Er, you, find a doctor for Dad, let's get an infusion. I want an infusion, an infusion." Li Yongsheng gradually became restless, his eyes were almost invisible, and his hands were groping around, stirring in the air Then, he grabbed Li Changqing's body vigorously.
"Infusion, I want an infusion." He was terrified in his heart, afraid that his family would no longer treat him because of money. He felt that he would die if he didn't get an infusion, but he didn't want to die yet. He exhausted all his strength to resist and survive, hoping that someone could save him. Yes, his most filial second son is here, and he will definitely save himself.
"Why don't you just find a doctor, Mom." But the final idea has to be Xu Jinhua, who is his husband. She is now the authority in the family. She is the oldest and has the longest seniority. Just waiting for her opinion.
However, Xu Jinhua lost his mind at this time. The doctors in the village said that it won't last long, and he just needs to be treated well in the days to come, and it will cost money to treat him again. She looked at her eldest son Li Changming earnestly, but Li Changming was also a man who cherished money, but he didn't speak, but he didn't dare to speak. After all, only the boss and mother have spoken, and no one else has anything to say. If someone else speaks unilaterally, the final result is likely to be that everyone's conclusions are inconsistent, and no one is willing to pay for the medical expenses. Especially the daughters-in-law of the third and fourth children used their eyes to wink at their men to keep them quiet.
Xu Jinhua waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for the definite answer from his eldest son. But on Li Changqing's face, she finally saw a son's sincerity for his father to live. That was her man, and she felt sorry for him too.
"Treat it, call the village doctor."
Just like that that night, Li Yongsheng's arm was finally pierced with an infusion needle that gave him hope of survival. However, fate made a huge joke with him. Because he was emotionally unstable when the doctor came, and it was late at night, and the 15-watt light bulb in the room was too dark, so he didn't see the penicillin skin test clearly, so he was given medicine. Half an hour after taking the medicine, because of penicillin allergy, Li Yongsheng passed away with infinite reluctance to the world.
Li Changqing was crying loudly. It took him so long to see his father. Before he had time to be filial to him, he still had to earn a lot of money to buy him a lot of his favorite oil shuttle and a lot of fat food. Pork, buy him a lot?Eat chunks of fruit. However, there is no chance for all this. His dad would never open his eyes to look at him again.
Li Changqing's biggest weakness is that he is too emotional, but no matter how sad he is, he must first take care of his father's funeral like a normal person. What is done for the dead is for the living to see.
When people from the village came to express their condolences in the morning, Li Changqing did not get out of the great sorrow at all, and his tears never stopped. He knelt in front of his father's body, unable to kneel for a long time, no matter how others persuaded him. It was not until the time of encoffining at noon that he followed the white cloth on his head and walked out with the support of his relatives and friends. He followed the hearse and brought back his father's ashes. According to Li Changqing's earnest request, after discussion, he finally made a good chestnut coffin for his father. Chestnut wood is the main material for making coffins in these ten miles and eight villages. Chestnut wood is stronger. According to the villagers, it can survive underground for more than ten or twenty years without decay, and can protect loved ones underground for a long time. Although chestnut coffins are more expensive than poplar and lime coffins in the market, no one has any objections because they cut down their own biggest chestnut tree this time. Everyone saved a fortune.
The moment Li Changqing put the ashes into the coffin, he threw himself on top of the coffin and beat the coffin hard. He yelled "Dad, my dad, dad" over and over again. No one knew how many times he yelled, but until everyone present stopped crying, he still knelt down and burst into tears. .
Li Changqing kept vigil for his father all night, and finally everyone gave up trying to persuade him. Until the early morning wind and rain hit, he still maintained the original posture. The helpers in the village all put on that kind of heavy raincoat, and after a simple breakfast, they began to prepare for leaving the spirit to enter the grave.
Because of being poor, the breakfast was so simple that there were only two dishes: cabbage tofu and pork vermicelli. In the pork vermicelli dish, there is so little pork that you can count a few slices. The helpers in the village took a few bites of food in a hurry and started to prepare for their own affairs. Because of the bad weather, the people who were already sad had no time to grieve. What was in front of them was how to end this spiritual exodus safely. Of course, there is only one person who is not sad, Li Changqing.
"All of us, old and young, are working hard. This coffin is made of new chestnut wood. It is already heavy, and it is even heavier with the outline cover. Everyone works together to lift it all the way to the cemetery. Our coffin cannot fall to the ground. The ancestors are particular about it." Li Qingshan, the busy leader, was running back and forth and shouting to the nearly thirty old men.
The front of the funeral is the family members, who need to step backwards to welcome the coffin into the grave, and then the trumpets, and behind the trumpets is the team carrying the coffin. The cold wind blew the outline above the coffin and lost its original scenery. Instead, it became more embarrassing under the gust of wind and rain. The people carrying the coffin also moved slowly and with difficulty because of the muddy road and the heavy shoulders. Everyone present was exhausted and anxious by the rare extreme weather.
Suddenly a coffin-bearer slipped under his feet, causing the whole coffin-carrier to panic. The coffin is at risk of falling to the ground.
"Men and young men, hold on, we are the dead, the coffin cannot fall to the ground." Li Qingshan shouted loudly holding the mobile speaker with newly replaced batteries. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
