Chapter 14 Father and Son Night Talk (1)

"I've been out for two years, I've grown up!" Li Derun had an indescribably complicated feeling in his heart.

"Grandma, my grandson is back, and I brought a western life-saving medicine to grandpa." Standing in front of grandma, Li Chong solemnly bowed to grandma.During the two years in Hong Kong, Li Chong never knelt down to anyone except when he was apprenticed to his teacher.

"Son, this family has to be taken care of!" After the second child made a fuss, the old lady could see through it.As for the wife, when a person reaches the age of seventy, he will enjoy the blessings he should have enjoyed.As for the western medicine that the eldest grandson mentioned, the old lady didn't have much hope in her heart at the moment. She hired a dozen doctors and spent a lot of money, but the old man was still confused.

Li Chong opened the package, and a small box as big as a palm jumped into his eyes. Lin Wanru gave him a gift, but he forgot to open it on the way.

Stuffing it aside first, he reached out and took out the tightly wrapped syringe and potion. The transparent liquid carried the hope of life, shining golden luster under the yellow light.

"Xiaohu, what's in it is western medicine, can it cure our master's illness?" Mother Chen Yueying was a little unbelievable. A small bottle as thin as her little finger, with a liquid as transparent as water inside, could save lives?

Among so many old doctors, the prescriptions prescribed by them are boiled into a bowl of medicine that makes people feel solid. Drinking so many bowls may not be good, but the liquid from this little finger can save the master from his illness?

"Mother, don't worry, this is called an antibiotic. I asked a Western doctor in Hong Kong about my grandfather's illness, and I saw the Western doctor cured the same disease with my own eyes! Hong Kong is not like ours. The big hospital is bigger than our house. The hospital is full of Western doctors in white coats."

"Grand grandson, can foreign doctors diagnose our diseases?"

"Of course, the diagnosis is all based on the same principle. Foreign doctors have machines that can treat pain wherever it hurts. It's fast and accurate. Grandma, don't worry, grandpa's illness will definitely be cured with this medicine."

"That's great!" Mother Chen Yueying stood up from the wicker chair with her grandmother. Hearing Li Chong's affirmative tone, his father was filled with hope again. He got up and pushed open the door of the main room. A taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Old man, you see how lucky you are, and how filial your grandson is. Knowing that you were ill, he brought Western medicine all the way back from Hong Kong." Grandma walked to Grandpa's hospital bed, and held it close to Grandpa's ear Said.

Li Chong came in with the needle and medicine, and looked at the grandpa lying on the bed with his eyes closed, the cloth on his body sticking to his spine, and the exposed back of his hand was covered with old skin except for the exposed tendons. Gasping for breath, there was no response.

My heart was very sour, thinking that before I got on the boat and left home, my grandfather was still wearing crutches, so he was really angry to prevent me from leaving home.Now that I'm back, my grandfather is lying on the bed, unable to even open his eyes to see him.

"Your grandpa has been lying in bed for about ten days. Three days ago, he couldn't open his eyes, and his hair was so hot that he couldn't speak." Grandma held Grandpa's hand, and the emotion in her voice was hard to express. , have gone hand in hand for half a century, and now they are facing the end of separation.

Without saying anything, he calmed down, and Li Chong immediately inserted the needle into the glass bottle, and the transparent liquid was sucked into the needle.

The movements were very careful, and the whole family's eyes were fixed on the needle in Li Chong's hand, with nervous expressions, as if this transparent liquid was the master's life.

Li Chong pushed the piston forward, squeezed out the air, and a little liquid came out from the tip of the needle.The needle tip shone with a cold light, making one's heart beat cold.

Piercing the skin with a sharp needle hurts just thinking about it. This kind of healing has never been felt by anyone.

"Mother, bring an extra oil lamp to the bed, I can see it better. Grandma, roll up Grandpa's sleeves to the elbow, and then hold Grandpa's fist into a fist shape."

The mother, second brother Zhixin, and third sister Yuanxiu held three oil lamps, which illuminated the head of the bed brightly.Although Grandpa was too angry to open his eyes, under the light, there was movement in his eyelids.

The veins of the elderly are very protruding. Li Chong put a needle in the vein and pushed the plunger to inject antibiotics into the grandfather's body.

"Grandma, let go." Push the piston to the end, pull out the needle and hold it down. Beside Li Chong, his father, his mother, his second brother and third sister stood on the other side, and the second uncle stretched his neck behind him. Unblinking eyes, he watched the needle piercing the skin and injecting the transparent liquid.

This treatment method is subversive to the perception of everyone in the house. It is common sense for people in rural areas to drink medicine when they are sick.But now witnessing this kind of injection treatment, the method of pulling out the needle directly makes the heart beat endlessly.

"It's late at night, go to sleep, Grandpa's illness will be cured when he wakes up." Li Chong finally took a breath, stood up, pulled out the needle and bent it to prevent accidental injury.As for the effect, Li Chong didn't worry too much. People in the countryside have never been to foreign hospitals in their entire lives, and they have never been given antibiotics, so the effect of the first medication will be very obvious.

Everyone retreated from the wing room, and Li Chong, who had been riding for an afternoon, felt exhausted at this moment.Sitting down on the bench at the round table, "Shunsheng, go to the old willow tree behind the house and bring the horse back for me, and give it some good chews. I drove back from Xinghua, and it worked hard. "

Mother Chen Yueying looked at Li Chong with a smile in her eyes. The eldest son was promising and grown up, but he was still her own son.

"Xiaohu, you must be exhausted from rushing back. Let the servants serve you a bowl of noodles, and mother will clean up your room. You haven't slept in your room for two years, so mother will replace the bedding with new ones."

I was talking to my father on the table. The father and son hadn't seen each other for two years. Now, sitting on the same table in front of an oil lamp, I didn't know how to speak for a while.

The education my father received was the old style of the last dynasty. He managed the family well and governed people well. If there was still a master in the imperial court, he might be able to take the exam for a scholar and make a name for himself.Since he took over the burden of his grandfather and became a landlord, he managed a hundred acres and the tenants who depended on their own family for food. Although the surplus grain in the family granary did not increase, there was no incident of tenant riots.My father governed people with Confucian "harmony" and was not harsh on the tenant farmers. The fertile land yielded a lot per mu, and my father only collected [-]% of the rent, and was also responsible for repairing and providing farm tools. Compared with some landlords in neighboring villages, he was a "good man" Master", many tenant farmers in neighboring villages are very envious of the tenant farmers in Lizhuang.

Not surprisingly, in the conversation with my father, I knew that during the two years since I left home, life in my hometown remained the same.The farmers here are stable, planting the fields of the master's family, and eating well.But for Li Chong, the immutability of his hometown is like a pool of stagnant water, so he chooses to go out to see a wider world.

"Hey, where are the old two?" When the mother brought the hot noodles to the table, the second uncle disappeared at some point.

"Ma'am, the second master just went out." As the person in charge of the courtyard, Uncle Xiao Tong knew every move in the courtyard.

"Hey? I asked the servant to take his share."

"Then I'll eat more, I haven't tasted the fish noodle soup at home for two years, I miss it very much!" Li Chong sighed after taking a sip of the soup.Then he ate the noodles wheezingly, and the second younger brother and third younger sister followed behind, dipping in joy.
