Shen Chu Ning quickly grabbed Shen's father's sleeve, "Dad, the second brother is so old, he must have a reason why he doesn't want to tell us. Let's not ask him when we go in later, and don't be angry with him because of this, okay?"
Father Shen looked at his daughter's pleading eyes and didn't want her to worry about it.
He sighed, "Oh, if the second child was half as sensible as my good daughter, I wouldn't be so worried."
Shen Chuning: …
Even though she was the favored one, she felt that her father was really biased.
Before the third brother joined the army, the second brother was actually the one who made the most money in their family.
When my second brother was in his teens, he would go up the mountain to pick chestnuts, mushrooms and other mountain products. In addition to eating them himself and his family, he would also take them out to exchange for supplies with others.
Later, the second brother often went to work for the old hunter in the next village, and the old hunter passed on all his skills to the second brother.
After the second brother learned how to hunt, he also taught my father, the eldest brother and the third brother. If there was not enough prey to eat, the second brother would take it to the black market and sell it.
But over the years, all the money that the second brother earned at great risk was used by his father to support his lazy sister.
She knew that her second brother had been dissatisfied with her for a long time, but he had not expressed it out of consideration for their father and the fact that it had become a habit for him to spoil her as his younger sister since she was a child.
This time she ruined the chance for her second brother to be with his sweetheart, and her father even got slightly injured because of her, so he started scolding her second brother as soon as they met.
Naturally, this aroused all the suppressed dissatisfaction in the second brother's heart.
Shen Chu Ning couldn't help but think of the dream again, where all her brothers died because of her.
She tugged at her father's clothes and whispered, "Dad, my brothers are all very good. It's my fault..."
"nonsense!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Father Shen deliberately frowned and scolded her, then coaxed her, "My good girl is the best. If anyone says that my good girl is not good, I will fight him to the death!"
Shen Chu Ning's heart was filled with warmth, and she smiled sweetly, "Dad is the best."
The father and daughter walked into the ward.
"Big brother, second brother, eat buns." Shen Chuning shared the buns he bought with his big brother and second brother.
Shen Zhengxu was not polite and took the bun and ate it.
Shen Zhengliang glanced at the two of them, then turned his head away angrily, looking as if he didn't want to pay any attention to them.
Shen Chuning took a bun and handed it to Shen Zhengliang, “Second brother, even if you are angry, you can’t joke about your body.
Are you planning to starve yourself to death while lying in bed? ”
Father Shen also said angrily: "You bastard, eat it quickly when your sister gives it to you! If you make your sister cry, I will beat you up!"
Shen Zhengxu pursed his lips, and after a while of silence, he finally took the bun from Shen Chuning's hand.
I don’t know if he hadn’t eaten in the past two days, but he took the bun and gobbled it up immediately.
After swallowing two big bites of the bun, he choked.
Shen Chu Ning quickly poured him a glass of water, “Second brother, eat slowly, there’s more!”
Shen Chu Ning bought ten buns, planning to eat one for herself, and three each for her father and two brothers.
But Father Shen and Shen Zhengxu probably saw that Shen Zhengliang was too hungry, so they only ate two each and left five for Shen Zhengliang.
After eating the buns, Shen Chuning discussed with Shen’s father and Shen Zhengxu: “Dad, big brother, you go back, I will also pack some clothes and daily necessities, and come to take care of the second brother.”
The doctor said that Shen Zhengliang would have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month, and then decide whether he could be discharged depending on the situation.
There is nothing in this hospital now, just a thermos, which I rented from the hospital for a deposit of two yuan, one cent a day. The money will be deducted from the deposit when I return the kettle after using it for a certain number of days.
Although Shen Qingsong was a little worried about tiring his daughter, he couldn't argue with Shen Chuning at this time.
The second child is lying in the hospital and someone needs to take care of him.
He and his eldest brother had to go back to the production team to work, otherwise when the work points were settled at the end of the year, they would have fewer work points and would not be able to get much money or grain.
He also hoped that the money he would get at the end of the year would allow him to buy some good fabric for his daughter so that she could make two nice new coats.
"Okay, then let's go back first. I'll pack up the second brother's things. Little sister, I'll ask you to take care of your second brother for the time being. I'll come every other day to wipe his body." Shen Zhengxu said.
The second one can't move now. After all, my younger sister is a girl, so it's inconvenient for her to clean him.
Shen Zhengliang listened to their words, his lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
He really wanted to say in a tough manner that he didn't need their care.
But the reality does not allow him to be tough. In his current condition, if no one takes care of him, he can't even drink water.
Shen Zhengxu gave Shen Zhengliang a few more instructions, and Shen Chuning asked a nurse to help look after him for a while, and then the father, son, brother and sister hurried back to the village.
When they arrived at the place where the Shen family and the Zhou family split, Shen Chuning took out a pair of yellow rubber shoes wrapped in yellow rough paper as if performing magic, and stuffed them into Shen Zhengxu's hands, "Brother, here, size 37 yellow rubber shoes."
That day, after Shen Zhengxu told Shen Chuning that he would ask her to help buy shoes and return them to He Hui, Shen Chuning fell into the ditch and injured her ankle.
He thought that after these two days, Shen Chu Ning had forgotten about it.
He was actually relieved. It was better that he had forgotten about it. If he had really bought it, he would have been embarrassed to give the shoes to He Hui.
I didn't expect Shen Chuning to still remember it.
And even though I was so busy today, I still found time to buy the shoes.
Shen Zhengxu's ears felt slightly hot. "Ningning, I... it's not good for a grown man like me to give shoes to Xiaohui. How about you..."
Before Shen Zhengxu finished speaking, Shen Chuning took over and said, “Okay, I’ll be the messenger between you and Sister He Hui, and I’ll deliver the shoes to Sister He Hui.”
Hearing Shen Chuning's words, Shen Zhengxu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Shen Chu Ning went back to her house to pack her things first.
Lin Shulan from next door saw her coming back and quickly ran over to ask, "Ningning, how is your second brother?"
Shen Chuning told Lin Shulan about Shen Zhengliang’s situation.
Lin Shulan slapped her thigh with some distress, "What a kid! Even if she's angry with me, she can't run away from home. The world outside is so chaotic now!"
"Mom, I have to go to the hospital to take care of my second brother these days, so I may not be able to take care of the house. I have to trouble you to help me look after the house." Shen Chuning said to Lin Shulan apologetically.
Some unreasonable mothers-in-law think that their daughter-in-law, who has married into their family, should not interfere in her parents' affairs, and it is absolutely inappropriate for her to help her parents' family.
"Ningning, don't worry. Mother is looking after you at home. Just go and take care of your second brother." Lin Shulan promised immediately.
"Thank you, mother." Shen Chuning said gratefully, and was glad that she met a reasonable mother-in-law.
"Why thank me? We are all family, and it is only natural for us to lend a hand when we are in trouble."
