Chapter 120 119: The Focus of the Second-Handed Man
The old man comforted her gently, "Doctor Wang said that it doesn't matter if you don't have the gallbladder. You should take good care of yourself. I will help take care of the family affairs."
"Yeah!" Zhou Dahe nodded weakly, took a breath, and looked at Zhou Huaian and the others, "You are here too!"
Zhou Huaian: "Third Dad, just focus on your treatment and don't worry about the money. We have earned some money these days. Let's cure your illness first."
"Okay, the youngest one has grown up. Thank you, Third Dad."
"No thanks, no thanks!" Zhou Huaian said uncomfortably.
Seeing that he couldn't even speak, the old man stood up and said, "Let's go out and let the third brother have a good sleep."
After they walked out of the ward, Zhang Hongmei said to the old man, "Old man, Dahe will have to stay in the hospital for another six or seven days. Let the eldest and second son go back with you to work. I will stay here to take care of him."
"Okay!" The old man said as he took out the money from his pocket and handed it over, "Take this money and buy some pork and lamb livers for nourishment."
"Old man, I haven't returned the money you gave me last time..." When Aunt Zhou San said this, tears started to flow again.
When she thought about dividing the family property, she agreed that each of the three families would provide the old man with 30 yuan a year. The third child has been ill frequently in the past two years, and not only did they not give a penny to the old man, but it was the old man who subsidized them.
"The money has been spent, there's nothing to cry about!" The old man glared at her, "As long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood. As long as there are people, the money can be earned slowly after it is spent."
Ever since the youngest brother and his friends started collecting eels and digging herbs to sell, he understood that old farmers still have to find some side jobs and can't just stick to digging in the soil. You can't dig up golden babies in the soil.
"I understand." Aunt Zhou wiped her tears and looked at Yang Chunyan and the others. "Youngest, Chunyan, thank you very much. I'll lend you the money. I'll pay you back after I sell the big fat pig at the end of the year."
Zhou Huaian said: "Yes, you can rest here and recuperate. We will help you if there is anything at home."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Zhou Huaian and others walked to the front of the ward, glanced at Zhou Dahe, and when they saw that he was asleep, they moved out of the ward.
Zhou Huaian and others came out of the hospital and went to Deshengtang. Zhou Huaishan and others stayed outside waiting. He and Yang Chunyan went in to ask Wang Zhen for help to find out which store wanted steel bar tickets.
Wang Zhen took the steel bar ticket and looked at it, then returned it to Yang Chunyan, "Sister Yang, keep the ticket first. I'll help you find out, and I'll get back to you next time I come."
"Thank you, Doctor Wang." Yang Chunyan thought of buying a bicycle. "Do you know where to buy a 28-inch bicycle without a ticket? A second-hand one is fine."
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I heard from a friend at the post office the other day that they are going to get a batch of new bicycles. I will ask about the price of used bicycles for you."
After hearing this, the two said happily: "Thank you, thank you! The bicycles in the post office are all 28-inch bicycles, which are perfect for country people."
Wang Zhen also smiled when he saw how happy the two were. "I've eaten so many of your mushrooms, so you don't have to be so polite if I help you a little."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "There isn't much else in the mountains, but there's plenty of game. Next time I come, I'll go to the ditch and get some rock crabs for you to eat."
Wang Zhen nodded readily, "Okay, I'll wait for your stone climber."
The two men came out of Desheng Hall and walked back together.
Zhou Huaizhong looked at what the old man was wearing, then turned back to look at Zhou Huaian, remembering the day when the old man sent money home, saying that the youngest son had become a successful man now, and was taking Huairong and others to collect eels to sell, and the brothers could earn more than ten yuan a day.
They still didn't believe it, thinking that the doting old man was helping him gain fame, but they didn't expect that the lazy man actually made money, bought new clothes and shoes for his grandfather, and...
Seeing him staring at him, Zhou Huaian thought there was something dirty on his face, so he wiped it off and looked at Zhou Huaizhong, "Brother Huaizhong, why are you staring at me? Is my face dirty?"
Zhou Huaizhong smiled, "I think you feel that you have changed."
"Of course it has changed. These days, I've been tanned from going up the mountain to help dig mud every day." Zhou Huaian said as he glanced at Yang Chunyan. He felt that his wife's skin, which would never get tanned no matter how much sun exposure, was better.
"Tsk tsk!" Zhou Huaigang looked at him, "Only women are afraid of getting tanned, why should men be afraid of black spots?"
Zhou Huaian: "A white complexion hides three flaws, whiter is better!"
After hearing this, Zhou Huaizhong complained in his heart: An idiot is an idiot, he is so careless that even his focus is different from ours!
Yang Chunyan felt like she had no ears to hear and walked to the side of the road.
The old man tapped Zhou Huaian on the back of his head with his finger, "Hey, what's the point of a man doing that?"
Zhou Huaigang nodded, "That's right, he's not a gigolo."
Zhou Huaian stepped forward and hugged him, "I'm telling you, if you want to find a partner, don't go out in the sun every day. Think about it, if you get tanned like a black Chopper, which girl would be interested in you?"
Zhou Huaigang glanced at him and said, "You're bragging! Matchmaker Liu said that I have a big face and broad skin, but I'm too thin-skinned and a little dumb, so those girls don't like me."
"She said that old trees are afraid of being entangled, and good women are afraid of being pestered. She also said that her sister-in-law agreed to marry you because of your shameless and skinless pestering."
Zhou Huaian glanced at Yang Chunyan, who was walking in front of him, with a guilty look on his face. "She said nonsense. Your sister-in-law and I fell in love at first sight."
"Tsk~" Zhou Huaigang sneered, "You are not afraid of getting embarrassed by saying this, do you dare to say it in front of your sister-in-law?"
"Get lost~" Zhou Huaian patted him, "Forget it if you don't believe me. Work hard to earn money for your wife tomorrow."
Zhou Huaigang held him back, "Brother, I call you brother, can you teach me how to coax a girl?"
The two of them arrived at the bridgehead, playing and joking. Zhou Huaishan saw the tractor of the Fangtian Brigade and hurriedly reached out to stop it.
Yang Xiaoxue saw Yang Chunyan and waved to her excitedly, "Yan'er, you guys are here to catch up with Ning An too!"
Yang Chunyan looked over and saw Yang Xiaoxue and a square-faced man sitting against the carriage. It was her man Fang Zhiqiang.
When the two saw Yang Chunyan and the others, they stood up and helped pull the things into the truck.
Yang Xiaoxue walked over and pulled her onto the tractor, while Zhou Huaian and others sat behind the driving seat with Fang Zhiqiang.
"Chunyan, what are you selling in Ning'an with your chicken cart?"
"I'm selling some corn and mushrooms, and I'm taking Grandpa to see his eyes." Yang Chunyan sat down with her on the carriage board, "Are you guys here to sell things too?"
The motor of the tractor started to rumble. Yang Xiaoxue leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Zhiqiang's third brother-in-law is a worker at the sugar factory. His sister gave birth two days ago. We are here to give her a wedding banquet. Mother-in-law said she would stay there to take care of Yue and the baby for two days."
"His mother's husband treated his sister very well. In order for his sister to marry into the city, he even spent all his money on the dowry when she got married. In other families, sons are precious, but in his family, his sister is the most precious."
"You haven't seen his sister. She wears the same clothes as other girls in the city. Zhiqiang's mother and husband were reluctant to spend money to fix the leaky house, but they still bought her leather shoes and made her a skirt."
"His sister is already married. If you don't like her, just don't have any contact with her in the future." Yang Chunyan said, and suddenly remembered that her eldest daughter was born the second year after she got married. She leaned over to ask her, "Are you pregnant? How have you been living in the Fang family for the past six months?"
