"There is gold in that village. You run there all day long. Why are you running? Aren't the old houses demolished?"

Ever since Cheng Lie went back to take a look at his old house last time, he would go back every week for the next few months. He didn't drive or ride a motorcycle, but just pedaled a tricycle to run there.

It just so happened that day I heard from another brother that when Brother Lie was walking with a little girl to the countryside, Zhang Qiang had reason to suspect that Cheng Lie had an affair.

"Have you been dating recently?"

Cheng Lie shook his head while holding the motorcycle key.

"Yes, let's admit it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We've been brothers for many years. Besides, which girl is so lucky that you can fall in love with her?"

"She's still young, she's studying, we'll talk about it later."

"Yo yo! That's true! Take me to see it someday, isn't it beautiful? Still young? How small?"

"16 is old."

Zhang Qiang laughed as soon as he heard it.

"Sixteen years old is not young, my sister's children have all been born."

"Go away, you think everyone is like your sister, as strong as a cow."

After speaking, Cheng Lie turned around and left, not wanting to talk nonsense with Zhang Qiang at all.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and many old people in the village died of freezing. When Jiang Lai came home, Liu Shuping had just returned home after finishing her funeral.

"Why did you come back so early today? Where's your sister?"

"I don't know, where are the dumplings?"

"Dumplings, you just know how to eat them. They've already been made, and you'll eat them when your brother comes back from the gift."

Jiang Qiuhe soon returned with a white cloth-wrapped bowl.

"Mom, have you heard that He Xing's grandma fell into the ditch. I heard that the fall was quite serious. Shall we go and have a look?"

After all, the two families have already made an appointment, and it is really hard for He Xing to take care of him in the hospital alone in such a cold day.

Liu Shuping nodded as she looked at the hard and cold weather outside.

"Well, it's time to take a look. When Erya comes back, you can take it to the health center to have a look."

"What health center, He Xing just borrowed a scooter to drag his grandma to the county hospital."

"Did you fall hard?"

"I heard it's quite serious. The main reason is that after the fall, the old man was frozen all night before he was discovered. It's probably not enough."

When Liu Shuping heard this, she felt a little anxious.

"What should I do..."

"What's the matter, mom? What are you worried about? He Xing doesn't lack these two money."

"That's not it. If his grandma is gone, the marriage between He Xing and Erya will either have to be postponed for a hundred days or three years later. What should we do?"

Jiang Qiuhe frowned when he heard that.

If you get married within a hundred days, you have to make the marriage a happy event within a hundred days after the funeral. Er Ya will have the college entrance examination in half a year, so she won't have time to get married.

We got married three years later, and Erya was already in her 20s at that time, so she was a bit older.

"Erya is back, let me take her to see the situation first."

As soon as Jiang Qu arrived home, Jiang Qiuhe took him back.

This time she came back in the car of He Xing's friend. It was a very expensive Santana, and it didn't feel much bumps when driving on the rough and rugged country roads.

In the car, my friend chatted with Jiang Qu a lot about the opportunities and challenges of this era. Jiang Qu couldn't help but his eyes lit up and his blood boiled with enthusiasm.

Just when she was about to share her thoughts with He Xing, Jiang Qiuhe said to her face that He Xing's grandma fell and is now in the county hospital.

When I went back, I sat on that bicycle again. The iron bars under my buttocks were hard and cold, the wind was biting, the road was bumpy, my nose and tears flowed together, and the key was very, very slow.

Before, Jiang Qu never felt that the bicycle would be so slow, and he never realized that the endless rural road in his impression could be so short.

"Brother, do you know how much a Santana costs?"

"That's expensive, maybe a hundred thousand or so."

"10,000+?! So expensive?"

"Yeah, these are imported cars, and ordinary people can't buy them with money. What's the matter? Why do you ask this?"

Jiang Qu shook his head.

"Nothing, just curious."

"In the future, you and He Xing will work hard, maybe you can afford a car in the future, and then I will take your credit and go to the county and the city in your car."

Jiang Qu couldn't help looking at the boundless field in front of him, thinking of He Xing's future achievements, he said in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, it will."

Thinking of that time, she felt her heart warm up.

When he arrived at the hospital and found the ward, Jiang Qu immediately saw He Xing sitting by the bed with his head bowed.

She stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"It's okay, grandma will be fine."

He Xing's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and a layer of blue stubble appeared on his chin.

Jiang Qu knew that this was the time when He Xing needed her the most, so she didn't say anything, and stayed with him to take care of grandma.

It's a pity that the situation of the old man is still going downhill. If it were an ordinary family, the family might have taken the old man back to prepare for the funeral, but He Xing is still insisting on paying expensive hospital fees every day, eating the best food I hope that grandma's condition will get better.

Soon, the money that He Xing was going to save to buy a house in the county town was spent.

His contact person sold the motorcycle, and then he borrowed more than 1000 yuan from a friend, and continued to persist.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the old man's condition is not bad, just hanging like this, He Xing is already heavily in debt, Jiang Qu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"He Xing, grandma told me that she wants to go home, let's take her home."

"No, I discussed it with the doctor yesterday. He said that the city hospital has just introduced a technology called heart bypass. It has not been popularized and developed in China. He said that grandma has a heart problem. If you want to live a chance I can only try this operation, I decided to go to the city hospital in two days."

When Jiang Qu heard this, his breathing stopped for a moment, and looking at He Xing's eyes shining with vitality and joy, she knew that he had made up his mind.

He Xing is a man with strong mobility, he will go back and do whatever he says, and Jiang Qu will always support his decision.

But this time Jiang Qu was silent.

Because He Xing already owed a lot of money.

"Going to the city is not a trivial matter. Besides, we have no money to continue going to the city for treatment."

"It's okay, the more than 1 I borrowed from the bank before can be used for emergency."

When Jiang Qu heard it, his subconscious tone became sharper.

"This is the money you paid for the machine! You are spending it on your grandma now, so what about your machine? Without the profit from the machine, how can you pay back the money to the bank without the profit?"
