Chapter 861 877: My son is unreliable
Yang Chunyan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were prying seedlings in the rapeseed field, while Zhou Huaian and his sons went to the field next door to dig holes and trenches to make beds.
Transplanting rapeseed into rice fields generally requires digging deep furrows. The side furrows have already been plowed when the field was harrowed. Now you just need to dig the soil on both sides and dig the side furrows deep to prevent the soil from being too wet on rainy days and affecting the root development of the rapeseed seedlings.
Zhou Huaian felt that the old man and his brothers were rigid and inflexible. They did not consider that there was usually little heavy rain after the rainy season, so the ditches plowed by the tractor were enough, and digging ditches was a sheer waste of effort.
I kept muttering to myself but didn't dare to say a word.
Father Zhou took a look at the ditch he had dug and said, "Youngest brother, your ditch is too shallow. What if the water doesn't flow out when it rains?"
Zhou Huaian then realized that he had already put it into action, and said with a smile: "Old man, there is less rain after the rainy season, I don't think we need to dig so deep, just repair the plowed furrows.
I'm just making a suggestion! I'll do whatever you say." After he said that, he looked at him and immediately retreated and moved to help pull the rapeseed seedlings over there.
"No one can predict what God will do. The worst thing to do when planting crops is to be lazy. If you don't dig twice now, it will be troublesome if it rains heavily." Zhou's father said and looked at him, "Why are you doing that? I'm not going to eat you!"
"Haha! I thought you were going to scold me again!"
"You are an old man already, why should I scold you for no reason!" Father Zhou glared at him, picked up the hoe and started digging.
Zhou Huaian curled his lips: Didn't you scold me enough before? Have you forgotten when I used to serve you with a pipe?
Over there, Yang Chunyan and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pulled out the rapeseed seedlings from a field, and there were still many weak seedlings left in the field.
Seeing that the pit in the nearby field had been dug, the sisters-in-law gently picked up the rapeseed seedlings, put them in baskets, and carried them to the field.
Zhao Huifang and Zhang Xiuxiang carried baskets filled with soil and fertilizer, and kept putting small amounts of soil and fertilizer into the dug holes to start the roots. Yang Chunyan and Li Qiuyue carried rapeseed seedlings and put them into the holes.
When transplanting rapeseed seedlings, choose those with thick root stems, plant straight-root seedlings instead of curved-root seedlings, and plant strong seedlings instead of weak seedlings.
When planting rapeseed seedlings, straighten the seedlings against one side of the pit, keep the roots straight and the leaves spread out, and then compact the soil.
It is best to plant rapeseed seedlings on a cloudy day like this. After planting, water them once to help them take root. It takes more than eight acres of land and more than a dozen people two days to water them all.
Zhou Huaian looked at the time and shouted to his mother, "Mom, it's eleven o'clock. Go back and cook."
He was a little anxious. It was already late and Ding Ding Mao had not come back yet. It seemed that he had gone to the Wan family to discuss treatment with his brothers-in-law.
"Okay, I'll go back right away." Zhou's mother walked to the edge of the field and saw that Wan Xuejiao and her parents were still in the two fields over there. She began to murmur in her heart.
"Oh my god, it can't be a tumor, can it? I have suffered all my life and only had a few days of full meals!"
…
Zhou Yiding was now sitting in the main hall of the Wan family's house with the three brothers of the Wan family. He watched the three brothers looking at the films on the table with sad faces, and none of them said a word.
"Brother, let's discuss whether to do it or not? The doctor said that the sooner we do it, the better!"
Wan Laosan slapped the film suddenly, "Fuck! I've only heard of people with meningitis, this is the first time I've heard of meningioma."
"Yes!" Wan Laoer looked at Zhou Yiding, "Could the doctor have made a mistake?"
Zhou Yiding: "The doctor suspected that it was a tumor after the examination yesterday, so he asked for an X-ray to confirm it. He said that if no one else in the family had this disease, it might have been caused by the old man's head injury.
He didn't feel anything when the tumor was small, but now that it has grown, and his brain hasn't grown with it, the tumor is pressing on his intracranial nerves, causing headaches, nausea, and decreased vision.
The old man is not even sixty yet. His quality of life will be much better after a successful operation. If he doesn't do it, he might suffer from hemiplegia or even die suddenly.
The doctor suggested surgery to remove the tumor, but the risk was a bit high, so he asked me to come back and discuss it with you. I took the film to see Dr. Wang, and they suggested that it would be best to have surgery, and then I could take Chinese medicine to recuperate.
I asked Dr. Wang to prescribe two Chinese medicine pills for him to drink for two days to see if there is any effect? In the next two days, you can discuss with the sisters-in-law whether to do the surgery or not? "
Boss Wan frowned so hard that it could kill a mosquito. "If it can be cured by doing it, of course we should do it. But the doctor said the risk is high, and we might even die. If that happens, wouldn't we lose both our money and our lives?"
"That's what I'm worried about!" Wan Lao San said, "I think doctors like to exaggerate the severity of the disease to scare people. I think I should get some medicine and maybe it will get better."
He felt that Zhou Yiding was talking without any worries. His family was rich and his old man was still helping him make money at the forest farm with his pension. If he worked with Zhou Laoyao, he would surely earn a lot in a year. Otherwise, how would he get the money to buy a tape recorder and a TV?
Zhou Yiding looked at them and thought about how his father-in-law had worked hard to raise his son, build a house for them and find them a wife. Now he was seriously ill, but they were not worried about his illness, but only worried that the money was wasted.
No wonder the old people in the village say that a man can raise ten sons, but ten sons cannot support one man.
Wan Lao Er looked at him, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think doctors would lie. Why don't we go to Ning An and ask what the probability of success is, and then make plans?"
After hearing this, Boss Wan said, "Let's take the film to the town clinic and ask the doctor and we'll know."
"Okay! You go ask. I'll go back and tell Xuejiao about my father-in-law's condition." Zhou Yiding picked up the medicine bag and stood up. "I'll leave the film here. You can take it to the doctor. We'll also pay for the surgery."
The faces of the three Wan brothers turned red. The eldest brother said with a red face, "Yiding, it's not that we don't want to spend the money, but we are worried that the operation will be risky and something bad will happen to the old man."
Wan Lao Er also said: "As the old saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. If you ask you to take the money, others will poke us in the back."
"Big brother, second brother, I can earn some money by following the youngest brother. It's not easy for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to raise Da Xuejiao, so I should help out a little."
Zhou Yiding looked at his brothers-in-law with sad faces, and thought that they relied on digging in the soil for a living and doing odd jobs during the slack season. They could not save much money in a year, so he couldn't bear to say anything bad to them.
Boss Wan said gratefully, "We've asked the doctor and will come to your house to find you."
"That's right!" Zhou Yiding said what he wanted to say, picked up the medicine bag and went out. He started the tractor and arrived home half an hour later. When he entered the house, he saw his mother-in-law cooking with Xiao Wan on her back. "Mom, where are the old man and Xuejiao?"
"Still planting rapeseed seedlings in the field." Seeing him carrying the medicine bag, Wan's mother asked worriedly, "Did you get the film? What did the doctor say?"
"There is a problem, but fortunately the tumor is benign. The doctor said that if I can remove the tumor through surgery, I won't have headaches or tinnitus anymore, and my eyes will be able to see clearly. But surgery has risks, and if something goes wrong, I might not even be able to survive."
Seeing her worried look, Zhou Yiding hesitated for a moment, but still told her the situation.
Wan's mother's tears fell down, "What did your elder brother and the others say? What will happen if you don't do it?"
Zhou Yiding took the child and said, "My eldest brother and his family are worried about the risks of the operation, so they want to ask the doctor in town for help before making a decision. If we don't have the operation, what will happen in the future..."
After hearing this, Wan's mother sat there in a daze for a long time, wiping her tears and saying, "Rather than getting sick and being paralyzed in bed, it's better to take a risk and do it well, so you don't have to suffer in the future.
We have saved some money. When your elder brother and his family come to help you plant the rapeseed seedlings, we will go to Ning'an for the surgery."
Zhou Yiding felt uncomfortable when he heard her say that she would help plant the rapeseed seedlings before leaving. "I'll tell my second father's family about the rapeseed seedlings and ask them to help plant them..."
"Why bother them? Wait for your elder brother and his friends to come over. They can plant only two acres of land in one day."
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding handed her the medicine bag and said, "Make the medicine that Doctor Wang prescribed for my father-in-law."
Wan's mother took the medicine bag and said, "Go and call them back for dinner!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Yiding gave Xiao Wan to her. When he walked out of the hospital gate, he saw Zhou Huaian coming. He told him the situation again along the way.
"Bah!" Zhou Huaian spat angrily, "What's the point of raising a son? When he's sick or in pain, it's still his spouse who's worried and distressed.
Zhou Yiding said angrily: "I can see that they are just worried about the money. If I wasn't worried about problems with my father-in-law's surgery, I would have paid for his surgery myself."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "You are right to worry. It would be best if the operation goes smoothly. If something goes wrong, it will be your responsibility!"
"I know." Zhou Yiding sighed, "Youngest, after what happened today, I finally understand that my son is unreliable! We can't give all our money to that bastard in the future. We have to keep some for ourselves."
Zhou Huaian glanced at him and said, "What are you afraid of? You are a working class person and you will have a pension in the future. I can only eat myself in the future."
"Get lost!" Zhou Yiding kicked him. "You will never be able to pay the rent in the future. You are so fat and yet you are crying poor to me."
After the two of them laughed and joked for a while, he felt a little relieved. When they reached the edge of the field, he called Wan Xuejiao and Wan's father to walk back together.
After returning home and telling the two of them about the situation, Wan's father sat there for a while, then turned to Zhou Yiding and said, "Go ask the doctor after you finish planting the rapeseed seedlings. If I die on the stage and you don't pay for the medical expenses, we will do it!"
"Ah?" Zhou Yiding was stunned. He never dreamed that he would make such a request. "Old man, the doctor said there is a risk, but it doesn't mean that anything will happen."
"Old man, you..." Wan Xuejiao cried loudly, and Xiao Wan also joined in the fun, hugging his mother and crying loudly.
Mother Wan picked up the child and cried, "You old man, why are you scaring the child? If not, I'll wait until you're paralyzed in bed and I won't bother to take care of your shit and urine!"
Father Wan saw that he had made his wife, children and grandson cry, "Stop crying, I'll do it!"
Thank you friends for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
