Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Because he decided to take his grandma to the county to remove plaster, Gao Mingcheng had no intention of loading firewood after returning to Niuweiling. He only went to the vegetable field to get some vegetables, which was enough for two days. The remaining vegetables and firewood would be waiting for I'll bring it with me when I send grandma back tomorrow.

Gao Mingcheng cleaned up several hares and placed the eggs one by one in egg trays, then stacked them one on top of another so that the eggs would not break during transportation.

After loading all the things he wanted to bring into the car, Gao Mingcheng closed the courtyard door and drove the tractor to the old village. After stopping at the pond at the entrance of the village, he happened to see his mother walking home with a vegetable basket on her arm.

In the vegetable basket, there were some kidney beans and a young pumpkin. Apparently these were their dishes tonight.

"Mom, it's time to remove the plaster on grandma's leg. I plan to take her to the hospital to remove it and send her back tomorrow," Gao Mingcheng said.

Luo Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Okay, okay! I'm counting the days."

Maybe mother and son hadn't seen each other for a while. Luo Xiaohua's attitude was pretty good, and he even started nagging: "Hey, it doesn't matter if the plaster is removed, your grandma can't go anywhere these days, she can only lie in bed, day by day. Yeah, groggy and not very energetic."

"It should be better after the plaster is removed, let her go out and walk slowly, and talk to more people."

Gao Mingcheng then remembered that he had not seen a wheelchair at his parents' house, and couldn't help but said: "You didn't prepare a wheelchair for grandma? She can't walk with her legs, but she can push the wheelchair out and walk around."

Luo Xiaohua's face flashed with embarrassment, and he cursed angrily: "Then why aren't you ready?"

This time Gao Mingcheng shut up.

Look, when mother and son stay together, they will start to quarrel within three sentences.

Luo Xiaohua had a sullen face and walked very fast, but when she came to the door of her house, she couldn't help but burst out and cursed: "There is so much land to plant at home, and there are pigs, cows and chickens to raise. I am going to do it day by day." I'm so busy, how can I make a wheelchair when I have time? Is it free to make a wheelchair? You still blame me?"

"Others can enjoy blessings when they marry daughters-in-law. What about me? I gave birth to four sons and married four daughters-in-law, but no one is willing to help me! You guys are living a good life in the county, but you are not I wonder how tired we are as parents!"

"I finally found a capable daughter-in-law, but you still interfered and brought Jin Ling to the county! You did it deliberately and wanted them to disown me!"

"Second brother, touch your conscience. Do you still have a conscience?"

Overworked, Luo Xiaohua had been depressed in his heart. Now he finally took the opportunity to explode. He pointed at Gao Mingcheng's nose and cursed non-stop. He even jumped at the end of the scolding.

The family does have a lot of land. When Gao Mingcheng split up, he only took away one acre of land. However, Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli have not separated yet. The fields and land that belong to them are now cultivated by Gao Yuanyuan and Luo Xiaohua.

Only the fields and land belonging to the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng have been allocated to them in advance, and they are responsible for planting it themselves.

In the past, when Grandma Gao didn't break her leg, even though she was old, she could still help pick some vegetables and feed the chickens, at least she didn't need anyone to wait on her.

Now that Grandma Gao has broken her leg, not only can she not help the family, she also has to have Luo Xiaohua serve her. Luo Xiaohua is really tired from all the things happening at home and outside.

Even when someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him, Gao Mingcheng remained calm. He only said: "You are asking for these things. You are unfair and cannot win the hearts of the people. If you have the ability, go and call Mingwan and Mingli back." I have already divided the family to farm the land, and I have also given you money during the holidays. If you are old and unable to work in the future, when the four brothers contribute the money, I will share it equally."

"Second brother, you!" Luo Xiaohua's face turned red with anger. She put down the vegetable basket in her hand and wanted to pick up the stick on the ground and hit Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng was already an adult, so he was willing to stand still and let her hit him, so he avoided it with agility.

"Mom, if you go crazy again, then I'll leave. You can take the plaster on grandma's leg to the hospital to have it removed yourself." Gao Mingcheng said, applying oil to the soles of his feet and leaving.There is a health center in Junling, which can treat minor illnesses and pains. It is relatively simple to remove the plaster. It does not necessarily need to be taken to the county hospital. However, Gao Mingcheng feels that grandma is old. When removing the plaster, he will let the doctor check again. one time.

Because removing the plaster does not mean recovery, it is just the beginning of recovery.

Gao Mingcheng felt that he was doing nothing but a thankless job. One word of disagreement made his mother angry.

Luo Xiaohua stopped, breathing heavily, as if trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

She wanted to point at Gao Mingcheng's nose and scold him, but in the end she held back.

There were too many things going on at home and outside the home, and she couldn't spare the time to send the old man to the health center. Besides, was it free to go to the health center?

Luo Xiaohua endured it again and again, and finally endured it.

Gao Mingcheng saw that his mother was so angry that he couldn't help but touch his nose.

Hey, he really didn't want to quarrel, but his mother just had the ability to quarrel with others.

Could it be... menopause?

Next, Gao Mingcheng did not dare to say a word. Maybe they were arguing outside the hospital and woke up Grandma Gao. When Gao Mingcheng entered the room this time, he found that she was awake and knew that Gao Mingcheng was here to pick her up. I went to the hospital to remove the plaster myself.

Grandma Gao also desperately wanted to remove the cast as soon as possible. The cast on her leg made her very uncomfortable. It was summer again, and the heat made people uncomfortable.

And the area where the plaster was placed feels itchy. I want to scratch it, but I can't.

"I'll hold you." Gao Mingcheng casually helped his grandma get a change of clothes, and was about to pick her up and walk out.

Luo Xiaohua stood by the side with a sullen face and said nothing.

After Gao Mingcheng took Grandma Gao away, she cursed a few times without realizing her hatred, then ran to the kitchen and drank several bowls of cold water. Then she was not idle, but picked up the hoe and went to work in the ground. alive.

As he grows older, if you look carefully, you will find that Luo Xiaohua's back is a little bent, and his face gradually shows his age.

Time takes its toll on people, especially those who do heavy work.

Contrary to her grief and anger, Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He let his grandma sit on the bed of the car, then drove all the way to Xing'anling, where he took a bag of clothes from Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop.

"Grandma, sit tight!" Gao Mingcheng warned as he turned onto the national highway. There was a sharp slope here.

"Hey." Grandma Gao responded, with a kind smile on her face.

She has been bedridden at home for more than 40 days without even getting off the ground. Now she can finally go out and see the scenery outside.

She had been feeling groggy, but she suddenly felt refreshed. (End of chapter)
