"Why is there no one? Isn't the older aunt who is taking care of the children not here?"

"Not here. No one answered the door."

"beep--"

"..."

Fu Jingyou was hung up on again.

I put down the phone and before I had time to think about where my family members were, the little nurse in the window stretched out her hand again:
"Two cents, comrade."

"..."

After silently paying two cents, Fu Jingyou went upstairs. He Hongjin and Brother He both woke up and washed up.

"Xiao Liu is here."

"Ah."

Brother He smiled and said hello, took a stool and sat down with Fu Jingyou.

After chatting about their respective situations, the topic turned back to He Hongjin.

"I had injections all afternoon yesterday, and I look better today. I can pronounce two words."

Fu Jingyou stood up to see He Hongjin's condition, squeezed He Hongjin's arm and said:
"If you look at it again, your arm is still stiff and it won't move if you twist it."

Brother He nodded aside.

Fu Jingyou looked at him and said:
"Second brother, I've said hello to the people downstairs in the guest house. You can go to the guest house and take a nap. Come back for me in the afternoon or evening."

"Okay, I'll go over and lie down for a while and buy some lunch."

Brother He twisted his sore arms and neck and said honestly:

"Don't buy it yourself. It will be ruined if it is too heavy."

"it is good."

After Brother He left, Fu Jingyou had something on his mind. After eating two bites of cold steamed buns, he sat by the bed and peeled an apple.

He Hongjin opened his mouth and patted the bed:
"Go back, go back."

"It's not healed yet. What are you going to do when you go back?"

He Hongjin stammered and vaguely said that everything in the hospital was expensive.

I have been frugal for most of my life, but I just can’t bear to spend money.

Fu Jingyou calmed down, took a knife and cut off a small piece of apple in his hand and fed it to him.

He Hongjin had a bad temper and had been strong for most of his life. He really didn't like the feeling of lying on the bed with his children by his side.

He closed his mouth tightly and twisted his neck, refusing to eat.

"The apples sold in the county are more expensive than those in Beijing. They cost 40 to 50 cents per pound. They are all stained with your saliva. If you don't eat them, others won't be able to eat them either."

Fu Jingyou didn't like him, so he said:
"If you still refuse to eat, I'll throw it away."

"Stinky, smelly peel..."

He Hongjin glared at him complainingly and finally relented.

After eating half an apple, he said he wanted to go back.

Fu Jingyou refused:

"You can't go back. You'll be like this after you go back. What will Auntie do?"

"I'll take injections for a day, but I won't feel any better... I'll just go back with my money, and I'll get better slowly..."

"The hospital can't cure you, so you can just go back and lie down and it'll be fine?"

He Hongjin nodded firmly.

Fu Jingyou didn’t listen to him:

"You can't go back. If you want to go back, go back by yourself. Second brother and I won't mess with you anyway."

He Hongjin was so angry that he banged his eyes on the bed.

Fu Jingyou let him take pictures.

Brother He was very punctual and came over with food at noon.

Fu Jingyou followed him to eat something, then went to the clinic to find the doctor and ask about the situation.

"I am a family member of an old comrade in bed 201. How is my uncle's condition now? How long will it take to see significant improvement?"

"This is not yet certain, but I can speak intermittently today, which is a significant improvement. I can take injections for another two days to see."

The doctor gave a conservative answer and gave no useful information.

But after all, they are professionals and they are amateurs. Fu Jingyou could only calm down and wait.

During the gap, Fu Jingyou went downstairs to make another phone call.

This time I waited for more than 20 minutes before calling, and it was actually a comrade from the post office who answered the call:
"There is someone at home, but they say they can't leave with the child. The student Lu you are looking for must not be feeling well. Her family said she is asleep."

The post office is also busy, so we can't always run errands for Fu Jingyou just for a phone call.

Just tell Fu Jingyou and give his number to the Fu family courtyard.

When the person over there is free, he will call him back.

Fu Jingyou thanked him again and again.

After hanging up the phone and giving two cents to the little nurse at the window, Fu Jingyou's heart not only didn't relax, but also got a lot of excitement.

Why am I feeling uncomfortable again...

I don’t know if it’s serious or not?

There was no one at home in the morning. Did you go to the hospital or something?
"I'm in bed 201 on the second floor. If there's a call from Beijing, asking for someone named Fu, please ask someone to tell me."

The little nurse in the window heard him mention the word "Beijing" and looked at him carefully several times before finally nodding.

Fu Jingyou went upstairs again.

At the moment when he and Brother He were changing people, He Hongjin got into a bad temper again, saying that everything in the hospital was expensive and spending money was like water.

I want to go back and take care of myself slowly.

Brother He was a little unable to control him. When he saw Fu Jingyou coming back, he quickly looked at him asking for help:

"Xiao Liu, you said it's not good yet, how can you go back? My father won't listen to me, so you say something to him."

When I came here just now, I was fine and honest, but now I started to make a fuss.

Brother He felt that his father would be more likely to approve of Fu Jingyou's words.

Fu Jingyou's heart was still worried about Beijing.

When he saw the situation in the ward, Fu Jingyou immediately lowered his sharp brows.

Nodding, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at He Hongjin and said:

"You don't want to spend it, and you don't spend your money now. If you don't want me and my second brother to spend money, then whoever made you angry will be the one I go to. Is this okay?"

He Hongjin couldn't close his mouth and looked at Fu Jingyou with cloudy eyes.

After all, I am not young, I have been struggling for a while, and my spirits are not very good.

After looking at Fu Jingyou for a while, He Hongjin reluctantly nodded.

Fu Jingyou stood up:
"Second brother, just watch, I'll go there."

Brother He was a little embarrassed and stood up:
"Xiao Liu, why don't I go with you..."

Brother He also felt that Brother He did not do well.

He supported Fu Jingyou, but after all, this matter was related to the He family.

Fu Jingyou's surname is Fu. If he goes there, Brother He will definitely not be able to convince him.

Fu Jingyou shook his head: "No, I can do it alone. I also need someone to watch over here."

"OK then."

Brother He had no choice but to sit back again.

He Hongjin watched Fu Jingyou leave the ward and pointed at Brother He with trembling fingers:

"No, unfilial..."

Knowing that his father was talking about his eldest brother, Brother He wiped his face and said:

"You can treat your illness with peace of mind, and I will support you in your old age and send you to the mountains."

He Hongjin looked at Brother He, gasping for air, his eyes cloudy with tears.

Brother He could only do his best to appease him.

……

Fu Jingyou had never been to the carpentry shop in the county, so he found the place after asking around.

It is one of the old courtyards.

The state-owned craftsmen in the county, such as carpenters who make tables and chairs, bombardiers who play cotton, and gardeners who build flowers, are all here.

Fu Jingyou went outside the hospital and called a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old to congratulate him on a good harvest.

The boy yelled:
"Master, someone is looking for you!" (End of Chapter)
