"He's asleep, senior brother. Did you find the sour apricots? My older brother asked me to send them back to my sister-in-law. She knows what medicine to bring me," Zhou Lin said.
“Okay, here it is. This whole basket is full of sour apricots. I just picked them with Nan Hu from his apricot grove. They’re guaranteed to be sour,” Nan Laoda quickly said.
"Okay, senior brother, keep an eye on my older brother. I'll go back and deliver the sour apricots." With that, Zhou Lin took the basket, picked it up, and ran outside.
A cart pulled by an ox is slow; it's faster to run by yourself. By walking alone, he can take a shortcut, crossing mountains and taking small paths to get closer to home.
After glancing at his retreating figure a few times, Nan Laoda thought of Zhou Quan and quickly headed into Zhou Lin's house.
When he went in, Zhou Quan was already asleep (in a coma).
Seeing that Zhou Quan was asleep, he quietly went out to check on his father.
The eldest brother touched his father's chest; it was warm.

"Hmph, I'm going to be so angry with you! An unfilial son begets an unfilial son, what a misfortune for the Nan family!"
When the old man woke up and realized he was still alive, his anger flared up again. He cursed at his eldest son, then turned his back to Nan Laoda and refused to talk to him anymore.
It was truly a misfortune for the Nan family. None of their three sons were willing to learn carpentry from them, which meant that they had to find outsiders to teach them their craft, and the Nan family's skills were never passed down to them.
