He softened his tone and said, "Dad, I think what the doctor said may not be right. Since you don't want to go to Kyoto, let's check it out in our city. We have two hospitals in our city. Come with Dad to check it out this afternoon."
This time Deng Chen did not object. The father and son went to two hospitals and the conclusions they reached were the same.
On the way back, not only Deng Chen felt disappointed, but the hope that Deng's father had originally held also disappeared without a trace.
The father and son walked aimlessly on the street covered with fallen maple leaves in the autumn wind.
Mr. Deng was afraid that his son would be depressed, so he accompanied him for a walk.
It was a coincidence that I came across an old Chinese medicine clinic while walking.
The lobby looked very shabby, and there was an old sign of Chinese medicine hanging at the door, which had been there for many years.
I don't know where I threw it before, but I found it recently, wiped it a little, and hung it up.
Even though it was so informal, Mr. Deng was determined not to miss an opportunity and dragged Deng Chen in.
It's true that this old Chinese doctor has some skills. After a few needles, Deng Chen's arm really responded. Although the force was not strong, he could feel a little strength.
This old Chinese doctor charges a high fee, ten yuan per session. Although he cannot guarantee that the condition can be cured, there is no doubt that improvement can be achieved.
This consultation gave Mr. Deng hope. After he came out, he persuaded his son to come once a week.
"Dad always says there's always a way out. We've finally found a way out. Son, I believe your arm will get better. We won't be crippled for life. Be more open-minded and cheerful in the future. Go out with your friends more often. Didn't I tell you to buy some clothes? Look at the department stores and see what's popular now, denim and leather jackets. Pick out a couple for yourself. Every time I see you, you're always wearing the same military pants, a white shirt, or the clothes you wore when you were in the army.
People who don’t know you well might think you haven’t changed your clothes.”
"Dad, those clothes of mine are comfortable."
"The clothes sold outside are also comfortable. Forget about tomorrow. Next week, go to the mall and pick out a few pieces yourself. Then follow me to your Uncle Ying's house tomorrow."
Deng Chen, who was walking, was suddenly taken aback. He turned around and asked, "What are you doing at Uncle Ying's house?"
"Didn't you help his daughter a few years ago? She was so grateful that she wanted to invite us to her home for dinner, and Dad agreed."
"No need, it's just a small matter."
"This is no small matter. If his daughter's sheep are lost, she could go to jail. You've done her a great favor."
“…”
"This time, talk to Hanhan more and be more proactive, okay?"
"Taking the initiative to do what?"
"Ah, kid, why are you so stupid? Of course, we need to spend more time together. We had problems with our arms before, but now it's different. We can cure it and we will be healthy people in the future. By then, it won't be others who pick on us, it will be us who pick on others, okay?"
"Dad, can you please not mention this anymore? I didn't mean that."
"Why don't you mean that? Are you dissatisfied with Hanhan's appearance?"
"I'm fine. It's me. Dad, I'm going home first. You should go home too. That's all for today."
"Ah, you kid, you run away as soon as I talk about this, you are useless."
Mr. Deng got angry when he saw his son's cowardly look.
...
Yinghan has been busy with work at the company for the past two weeks, and it has finally come to an end. On Saturday, he made soybean paste with his mother at home.
I was planning to go to the small building tomorrow, but my father came back in the evening and said that there would be guests tomorrow, and the Deng family father and son would be coming.
Doesn’t that mean Deng Chen is coming?
I haven't seen him for so many days, so I'd like to check on the condition of his arm.
...
The Deng family's eldest son moved out after getting married, and now only the Deng couple are left at home, so they don't have to speak in a low voice.
Deng Guoming thought about it for a long time and finally spoke during the meal.
"Gui Xian, take your sons to visit Chief Ying's home tomorrow. You should prepare it tomorrow."
Liu Guixian was stunned and asked, "Why are you going at this time, and with the whole family?"
"Hasn't Xiaochen helped the Ying family's daughter before? Chief Ying is grateful and wants to invite us over for dinner to express his gratitude. I think it would be awkward for just two grown men like Xiaochen to go."
"We're already an old married couple, and you're still beating around the bush when you say this. I've been married to you for so many years, and I know what you're thinking the moment you open your mouth. You're just attracted to the Ying family's youngest daughter, and you want to match her up with your youngest son.
Deng Guoming, you should stop thinking about this as soon as possible. Put yourself in her shoes. Your own daughter is so precious to you, would you let her marry a disabled man?
"I don't need to change my position in this life. I only have two sons. I only need to worry about them. Besides, the men in our Deng family are all good people who love their wives..."
As a result, before Deng Guoming could finish his words, he attracted the gaze of Liu Guixian.
Deng Guoming was so angry that he quickly shut up. Knowing that he had said something wrong again, he said awkwardly, "Wife, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I only made this one mistake in my life, and you've been controlling me for the rest of my life. Isn't that enough? Now our son has grown up, and you've divided the family property. You are the boss of our family. Can you please stop using my dirty deeds to bully me? I already have a daughter-in-law, so please leave me some dignity."
"Hmph." Liu Guixian rolled her eyes at him. To be honest, she had not suffered any hardship since marrying Deng Guoming.
The only time I experienced betrayal, I knew it was better to turn back, but I was still controlled by her for half my life.
If she said something east at home, he wouldn't dare to say anything west.
The only pity is that it's an eyesore.
Although she was not a bad person, she was not a good person either. She felt uncomfortable seeing the illegitimate child hanging around in front of her.
"Go ahead. My son is grown up now. He understands reason and knows how to be grateful. Now is the time to discuss marriage. I am a grown man and I am worried about it. It is not as convenient as you, an old lady, to handle things."
"Humph, I don't need him to be grateful to me. Don't help him work hard for a long time only to have him hate me in the end."
"No, no, Xiaochen grew up under your care. He is a good child."
When Deng Guoming saw that his wife didn't say anything, he knew that the matter was settled.
The next morning, I ran to my eldest son's house and told them about the situation.
Let the eldest son and daughter-in-law go to Xiaochen to help hold the statue upside down.
I ran to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some canned fruit.
Deng's father was busy running around, and Deng Chen was reluctant to go because he felt that he had not helped Ying Han in any way.
Ying Han was always very enthusiastic every time she faced him. Knowing that his life was inconvenient, she asked him to go to her house for dinner every day.
He felt that they had been friends for a long time.
There is no need to always use favors to pressure others.
Deng Chen was still wearing his discarded military pants, a white shirt, and a gray top he bought when he was in school.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my brother standing at the door, ready to knock on it.
