"Just make up your own rules. Your mother and I won't care. But if you need your mother, just speak up."
Seeing that his daughter had taken his words to heart, Father Lu said a few more words before lowering his head to eat.
As for the Ma family brigade, the situation is indeed not optimistic.
Since Old Man Gu fell into a coma, he has been unable to eat anything and has become increasingly thinner.
Xu Lihua looked at her father-in-law, who looked as sick as a skeleton, with her brows furrowed, and had a bad feeling in her heart.
I quickly put down the basin in my hand, ran out to find the doctor and asked: "Doctor, my father-in-law has been refusing to eat or drink. He is so thin. Can you help him eat? Otherwise, I am afraid."
As for what he was afraid of, the doctor understood what he meant without asking.
He simply shook his head and said, "Comrade, I think the patient doesn't want to wake up. You should let his family take care of him. I don't think he will survive for a few days."
"Ah? Didn't you tell us to wait a few days yesterday? How can this person just die?" Xu Lihua asked in disbelief after hearing the doctor's words.
"We were thinking of observing him for a while, but the patient won't eat or drink, so there's nothing we can do. You should either prepare for his death or take him to a big hospital. There's nothing we can do." The doctor was really helpless. He just shook his head and sighed.
"I, I, I'll go contact my family right now." Xu Lihua was already at a loss at this moment, not knowing what to do. After saying this, she ran out
"Don't run! If you go out now, you won't be able to contact your family. Also, do you have a phone in your team?" The doctor looked at the person who ran out and shouted after him.
Xu Lihua stopped when she heard this, and ran out again after a while. She went to the post office and sent an urgent telegram to the commune. Then she sent a telegram to Gu Mingze and others according to the address left by her husband.
Then he returned to the hospital with lifeless eyes, looking at the sick and unconscious person, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the Majia Brigade, after receiving the telegram, Gu Minghai immediately asked the brigade leader for leave and a letter of introduction, allowing the children to stay at home to take care of their grandmother.
He called his eldest brother, his wife, and the third brother and his wife and headed straight for the county town.
"Contact Lao Si, quickly contact Lao Si and ask him to come back. We have to listen to him whether we go to the big city or not. We don't have money, so we can't go even if we want to."
Gu Minghe sat on the bus and said to his elder and second brothers
"Let's go check it out first. Once we're sure, I'll contact Lao Si." Gu Minghai knew that his wife couldn't joke about this kind of thing, but he still wanted to contact Lao Si after he confirmed it.
"What's so certain about this? Didn't you send a telegram to my second sister-in-law? How can he joke about such a thing? What's the matter?" Gu Minghe got angry when he saw his second brother like this. He just didn't know the fourth brother's contact information. If he knew, why would he bother with him here?
"I said we'll talk about it after we get to the hospital. Can you please stop wasting time here? It's annoying to hear." Gu Minghai listened to the third brother nagging in his ear and shouted impatiently.
"Okay, you're sitting in the car, be more careful." Seeing that the two were arguing again, Gu Mingtao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Third brother, you too, the second brother said we'll talk about it when we get to the hospital, why do you need another minute?"
"No one cares about you, do whatever you want." Seeing that the two of them were talking about him, Gu Minghe simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
"well……"
Gu Mingtao looked at the third brother like this, sighed deeply, turned his head to look out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
About an hour later, the bus arrived at the county town.
Several people rushed to the hospital, and when they saw the sick and emaciated father, their eyes turned red.
Section 135
"Second brother, contact fourth brother and ask him to come back quickly." Gu Mingtao looked at the sick man who was having difficulty breathing and said to Gu Minghai in a choked voice.
"I have sent the telegram to the fourth brother. Whether he will come back or not depends on them." Xu Lihua said to the side after hearing what her eldest uncle said.
"Wait until tomorrow. If the fourth brother doesn't send any news tomorrow, call them." Gu Mingtao heard this and thought that they could wait. After all, they were still quite far from Kyoto.
Even if they sent the telegram, it would not be possible for it to reach Kyoto in a short time, so they decided to wait until tomorrow.
But they wanted to wait, but Old Man Gu did not wait any longer. After he felt that his sons had all arrived, he sat up and talked to them with a smile, as if he had a last burst of energy.
He said he was hungry and wanted to eat, and after eating he said he wanted to go home to see his wife.
When Gu Mingtao and the others saw their father like this, they knew something was wrong, so they didn't hesitate and rushed home without hesitation despite the late night.
When they arrived home and put the person on the kang, Old Man Gu reached out and held the hand of the old woman on the kang who was in tears, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Old man."
Lin Dacui looked at the old man with his eyes closed and burst into tears.
"father……"
Gu Mingtao and his companions looked at the person who had died and all knelt on the ground crying and shouting.
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Gu Mingze had gone to the competition because the competition had started earlier and could not be contacted.
When Lu Qingyan received the telegram, she read the content and didn't care whether she was in danger or not.
She asked her parents to help her pack up, and she wanted to take her two children back to her hometown to see her father-in-law off for the last time.
"We'll go back with you. Otherwise, we won't feel comfortable letting you take care of two kids by yourself." Mother Lu and her friends knew that their father-in-law was dying, and they were worried about their daughter taking the two grandchildren back with her, so they packed up their things and prepared to go back with their daughter.
"Okay, I'll go tell Sister Li in a minute, and when Mingze comes back, tell him to take leave and go back as well." Lu Qingyan also knew that if she took the two children back, her parents would definitely be worried.
I didn't hear her parents say anything, and when they wanted to go back with her, no one stopped her. They just asked them to pack their clothes quickly and take a bus to the city soon.
After everything was packed up, she went next door to say hello, then took her parents and two children to the city by car.
Coincidentally, when they arrived at the train station, there was a train heading northeast.
Lu Qingyan had no connections and couldn't buy a sleeper ticket, so she could only buy two more hard seat tickets, thinking that they would have a place to stretch their legs while they were talking.
"Jingming, Qiming, I didn't buy sleeper tickets this time. There are a lot of people on the hard seat side. You must stay by my side and don't walk around. Do you understand?" Lu Qingyan led the two parents and two children into the train station to wait for the train and solemnly told the two children.
"Mom, we got it."
