As the old man told the story, scenes from the past appeared before Zhou Bin's eyes.
It turned out that the uncle's surname was Liu and his name was Liu Qinggui. He had a son named Liu Rong, who was born when the uncle was 37 years old.
The old couple treated their son like a treasure and loved him very much.
This child has been chubby since he was young and is very likable.
Although the two of them lived a relatively difficult life, they still doted on him and gave him whatever he wanted.
This child is also very sensible and does not become willful like other children.
On the contrary, he is gentle and steady in character, and is highly praised by people around him.
The old couple gave everything they had to support their son's schooling, hoping that he would be successful in the future.
Unfortunately, Liu Rong was not cut out for school, so he dropped out after high school.
Although he dropped out of school, this child is a good farmer.
Since returning home, he has taken on most of the housework, going to the fields with his parents every day, and he seems to have endless energy.
After returning from the fields, he was not idle either. He helped the family chop wood and carry water, and did every job very well.
Liu Qinggui was so happy to see his son being so diligent and filial to them.
Moreover, this child is warm and kind-hearted. He helps his neighbors with work all day long. Everyone says that the Liu family has a good young man.
Whenever someone praised his son in front of him, Liu Qinggui's face was full of pride.
He thanked God for giving him such an obedient and filial child. When they get old, they can count on their son.
Just like that, ordinary and happy days always passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye Liu Rong was already 25 years old.
In rural areas, young men of this age should get married.
Liu Qinggui and his wife worked day and night to save money for their son to get married, and then they asked people to find a matchmaker for their son.
In Liu Qinggui's opinion, since his son is so outstanding, it should not be difficult for him to find a suitable girl.
However, reality poured cold water on them. After half a year of asking around, no girl was willing to marry his son.
Either they think his family is too poor, or the bride price is too high, or they just think they are too old.
In short, the matchmaker said it countless times, but in the end none of them succeeded.
Liu Qinggui was so anxious that he lost his appetite, and his wife hid in the house, secretly wiping away tears.
Liu Rong saw his parents' sadness and felt bad too.
Although he was industrious and worked in the fields day and night, his annual income was pitifully low.
Some families in the village have built two-story buildings, but their house is still two mud houses.
Moreover, there was no decent furniture in the house, which made it look extremely poor.
After much thought, Liu Rong decided that he could not let his parents be so sad any longer, after all, they were already old.
So he came to his father and told him that he didn't want to go on like this and that he wanted to go out to work and earn money.
When he makes money, he wants to build a house for his family and then get married.
Liu Qinggui was reluctant to let his son go out, but seeing his son's determined face, he began to waver.
Later, the couple agreed to their son's idea and let him go to work in a cement factory in the county.
The son was strong and tall, so he was soon noticed by the boss, who hired him as a worker.
Ever since their son became a worker in the factory, the old couple has seen hope in life again.
They thought that if their son worked hard for a year or two, he would be able to earn some money, and then it would be easier to find someone to act as a matchmaker.
Therefore, the two of them also gathered their energy and worked very hard. Although the family was working hard, they were very happy in their hearts.
Just half a year had passed since the happy days began, and suddenly one day, it was also spring.
Liu Qinggui and his wife were hoeing the fields when suddenly the village chief came running over in a hurry.
As soon as he saw the two of them, the village chief shouted anxiously: "Uncle Liu, come quickly, Liu Rong is in trouble!"
When Liu Qinggui heard this, his head buzzed. The two of them dropped their hoes and ran out in a hurry.
The village chief said nervously, "The cement factory called just now and said our kid was injured, seriously!"
"What did you say?" Liu Qinggui's eyes went dark and he sat down on the ground.
My wife was so frightened that she was shaking all over and asked, "Village Chief, what happened to my child?
The village chief quickly helped Liu Qinggui up, and his wife shouted, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Liu Qinggui gritted his teeth and held on, not falling down again. He said, "Quick, quick! Let's go to the county!"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, go quickly. The situation is not good anyway, so don't worry!"
Liu Qinggui and his wife supported each other and ran all the way to the village.
Then they took the county bus and headed to the county town with trepidation.
In the car, Liu Qinggui felt frightened and restless, and had a very bad premonition.
My wife wiped her tears silently, and kept saying, "My baby can't be in trouble! God, please protect my baby!"
After a lot of effort, the two finally arrived at the county.
After getting off the car, the two asked along the way and finally arrived at the cement factory.
But when they got to the gate, they were not allowed in.
Liu Qinggui cried and begged, and only then were they let in.
When they finally found the workshop where their son worked, they learned that their son had been sent to the hospital.
The two of them trotted all the way to the county hospital.
