At that time, my father found a tractor, put my grandfather in it, put a lot of straw in the tractor, and then put two quilts in it. Then my father dragged my grandfather to the county hospital.
But the weather changed that night and it rained heavily. There was no shelter for the tractor, and they couldn't even find a place to hide from the rain along the way.
At the end, there was a severe snowstorm. It took my dad three days to walk to the county town, even though we could have reached it in one day. They brought enough food for one day, but they ate it all up in the end. Before we reached the county town, my grandfather couldn't stand the cold and hunger and froze to death.
My father had no choice but to drive the tractor back home. He carried my grandfather's body on the road for another three days, and it took him six days to go back and forth.
Later, when my grandfather went to the funeral, everyone said that my grandfather just had a cold, and if there was a doctor near his home who could cure him and reduce his fever, he wouldn't have to travel in the wind and rain. If their home was closer to the county town, or if they encountered a snowstorm, my grandfather would not have gone.
Xiaoshan was actually not a child back then, and he knew everything.
When he saw his father lying on the coffin and crying loudly, his father had taken his grandfather to the county town and back home. It had been six days of back and forth travel. On this windy and snowy night, it was his father who accompanied his grandfather's body and dragged him home.
If our home had not been in the mountains, or if our home had not been too far away from the county town, my grandfather would not have died, and my father would not have cried so heartbreakingly and full of self-blame.
But my father was not wrong either. As a son, in order to treat his father's illness, he sold the family's grain, pigs and sheep, and took the money to the county town, hoping that my grandfather would survive.
He didn't expect that there would be rain and snow on the road, and because the road was difficult to travel on, the journey to the county town, which was originally scheduled for one day, was extended to three days. He was also blocked for a day by a mudslide. At that time, he moved stones with his hands and opened a road.
The road of hope leading to the county hospital.
Grandpa couldn't bear it anymore. He was cold, hungry and sick on the tractor. He was starving and cold and finally died.
Sometimes when Xiaoshan was lying on the bed in the basement, he would think that if his grandfather lived with him in the basement, he could carry his grandfather on his back and walk to the hospital in at least an hour.
Treat grandpa's illness.
Grandpa will survive.
He would even dream that his father was lying in bed, and he would rush to take his father to the hospital. It wouldn't take three days and three nights, but only an hour, or a dozen minutes on a one-dollar bus.
He can send his father to the hospital as quickly as possible. In the hospital here, not to mention a minor cold, he has even seen many unconscious and paralyzed elderly people who can be helped out of the hospital after being sent to the hospital.
The gap was so huge that Xiaoshan felt that he would stay in this city even if he had to pick up garbage to eat.
Maybe one day, he could bring his parents over, and when they get sick, they wouldn't have to lie on the coffin and cry like his father did when he took his grandfather to the doctor.
"I'll keep looking for a job. I hope someone will give me a job tomorrow! Ahem... "
Xiaoshan started coughing violently again. He quickly got up and drank a glass of water, then felt very panicked.
My cough has been getting worse recently.
According to his memory, his condition should be serious, but medical treatment costs money and he has no money. He has to find a job quickly and then treat his illness after getting the money. Once he has an income, his illness should be able to be cured.
Sure, he could find a job anywhere. Several times, after interviewing him, people asked him to go back because of his condition. There were even several times when he started working but was fired before he even passed the probation period.
No one wants an employee who is sick and in poor health, alas!
Xiaoshan rubbed his head and felt a headache. It really hurt. Where could he get the money to pay the rent or even to pay for medical treatment?
He was wondering whether he should ask the guy who was washing cars next door?
Can you recommend him a car washing job?
As long as he can make money, he is willing to do so!
Zhang Fan looked at the dark and dirty entrance to the basement, saw the dirty yellow and black patches on the walls, and the foul smell coming from the entrance, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
The conditions here are so bad, it's obvious that Xiaoshan is not having a good time in the city.
He is not like the poor boy who is promoted as being able to study well and do very well in the city. On the contrary, he does not live well and probably has a hard time making a living, otherwise he would not have chosen to live here.
"You should call them out. I'll wait here..."
Zhang Fan and Hua Yueying have already found Xiaoshan's residence, but he did not let Hua Yueying handle the matter. Instead, he planned to come and see Xiaoshan himself.
Because of Xiaoshan's life background, he was reminded of himself.
He also came from a small mountain village, but he didn't even go to college and started working very early. Although he gave a large sum of money to his relatives at home during his time, he hasn't been back for a long time.
Besides, he was too bored recently and had nothing to do, so Zhang Fan wanted to see what Xiaoshan was like, and also wanted to find out what Wang Ju had that the Tiandi Pawnshop was interested in?
Hua Yueying nodded and walked into the basement.
As soon as I entered, I saw the ground was wet. A middle-aged woman was washing vegetables under the dim light. Here, even in broad daylight, you need to turn on the lights to work.
The woman who was washing vegetables looked at Hua Yueying curiously and was surprised.
Hua Yueying looked like a fairy descending to earth at this moment and should not have appeared in this dark basement at all.
"Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"
"Sister, may I ask which room Xiaoshan is in?"
Although Hua Yueying knew that Xiaoshan lived here, she saw rooms separated by plywood in the basement, and she didn't know which small plywood room Xiaoshan lived in.
"Look for Xiaoshan. Wait a minute, I'll call for you!"
When the woman heard that they were looking for Xiaoshan, she became very enthusiastic and helped call Xiaoshan out. Xiaoshan, who was lying on the bed, thought he was hallucinating. How could anyone know that he lived here?
Will someone come to see him?
But when he saw Hua Yueying, who looked like a fairy, he felt that he had no place to put his hands and feet, and his clothes were too dirty and too poor. He felt extremely inferior when standing in front of her.
Although, I don’t know this particularly beautiful girl.
"I'm Xiaoshan, you, you're looking for me?"
Xiaoshan didn't notice that he was trembling even when he spoke and his legs were shaking. It was because he was excited, but also because it had been a long time since someone had looked for him.
What's more, because of Hua Yueying's words, several people in the wooden house had already leaned out to look at him.
Those people were stunned when they saw Hua Yueying's appearance! ??
