Chapter 51: Hometown Road (Xiaoxiao 66+8) 10th update



"Slow down, slow down!" Bi Jinzhi reached out to help, and Bi Cheng squeezed forward:

"Dad, I want to carry my grandfather on my back. Your legs won't do it."

"Before you came back, I carried your grandfather on my back all day long. Why can't my legs do that?!"

Bi Tiegang's face was red and his neck was thick. In addition, it took a lot of strength to lift the old man up, so the muscles in his neck were clearly exposed.

He is really annoyed when people talk about his legs, and he gets sulky because he can't turn around!

So stubborn! Dad is so stubborn!

This is how Bi Yue feels.

"Oh, Dad, don't be so stubborn, I'll do it!"

With the sounds of gestures and the loud voices of her father Bi Tiegang and her aunt, the room suddenly seemed extremely crowded.

This time, the trip was to the county hospital, and we had to take an ox cart. It was a long journey, and even the twelve-year-old Bi Sheng had to go along.

"Xiaoyue, Dacheng, you have to call this guy Wang Erge." The second boy who was the driver of Old Wang's ox cart.

Everyone spread the quilt for the old man and got him into the car. When everyone was finally seated, Bi Tiegang asked Bi Yue and Bi Cheng to call for help.

Wang Erge, a man in his thirties, whipped his whip and glanced back.

"Uncle Bi, what a blessing! These are the two college students in our family, right? I've heard of them!" He borrowed money from his father and just paid it back!

Bi Tiegang tried to suppress his ostentatious smile, but the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his pride.

He hadn't done anything remarkable in his life, but his family's ancestral tombs were really blessed with two literary geniuses. Although there hadn't been many scholars in his family, he still managed to make every child he had learned a lot!

Look, that little bastard Gouder, from the looks of it, will be a good student in the future.

My parents are not very literate, and it is difficult for him to write a letter with his crooked handwriting, which looks like a dog crawling!

But even the youngest son is like his older brothers and sisters, always getting the first place in the exams and even skipping grades!

Who dares to challenge Bi Tiegang and give this thing a try?

"Well, no wonder you don't recognize our two children. You've been working outside all year round. You're really capable!" Bi Tiegang gave a thumbs up: "Why are you driving today?"

Those who didn't know would think it was a car. Bi Yue looked left and right, what a hard-working person on the road...

But she figured it out. It turned out that her father was the most talkative and active person in the Bi family. She stretched out her arm to put a sheet on her grandfather's legs, and she saw Bi Sheng out of the corner of her eye.

Well, maybe if I develop well, I might become a person who can handle situations in the future, and my personality will be more like my father than my mother.

When Bi Cheng saw that Brother Wang Er was driving the cart but still turned back to hand his father a cigarette, he thought that this man had a really good face.

Bi Yue, her mother and aunt sat next to Bi Fu, while Bi Sheng's legs were hanging down outside the ox cart. There was not much space on the cart, so they had to stay crouched for several hours.

Bi Yue glanced at her eldest brother's silly smile as he approached her, and thought to herself: This guy still needs practice! Too green! Her eldest brother always looked at everyone as a real person!

Wang Erge was a bit slick in his speech and was good at talking. He could at least fool the farmers and act like a respectable man. He said in a loud voice:

"That's right. Things are different now. I've made some money outside and want to come back to help the family so that my father can enjoy a peaceful life. I thought about asking my father to stop driving the rickshaw to earn the little money, but my father said that the rickshaw has to make a trip today. I asked about Uncle Bi's family affairs, and I thought I could help out with my body."

Then he turned around and shouted in the direction of Bi Fu:

"Grandpa, my dad said he'll come to see you when you get back from the hospital! Don't worry, you'll be all right after seeing the doctor. I'm looking forward to getting better next year. Next year, I'll change my pants into a cotton-padded jacket, and my health will get better every year!"

As the oxcart's fat legs picked up the pace, Wang Erge even chanted a few auspicious words. Even Aunt Bi, who hadn't much in the mood to talk, smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Along the way, I have to say that if the driver was a lively person, it would have helped to ease my mood a little when going to the hospital for treatment.

Even the old man Bi Fu, who was half lying there, was laughing.

Bi Yue thought this person was really good at talking nonsense. She was talking to her father about the outside world, and she was still wondering what national policy he was talking about. Now...

"After harvesting the grain, people behave like this. They play two games of mahjong a day, playing dumb, cheering, not playing a single hand, messing around, losing, borrowing money, and not paying back the debts..."

Brother Wang Er talks a lot of vernacular, but he just can't leave the mahjong table and never talks about serious matters!

After swaying for a few hours, Bi Yue couldn't sit still anymore and asked her grandfather Bi Fu: "Grandpa, how are you?"

The old man sighed inwardly and shook his head, meaning that it was okay.

What's up?

It depends on him. He knows best what he is like.

Spending money, suffering, and accompanying your children to the hospital, what's the point? If the disease can't be cured, it's all a waste of money. It's unnecessary, alas!

The reason why he agreed to cooperate was that he didn't want to leave any regrets for Tiegang and Jinzhi, and made them feel that they had tried their best. When he passed away in the future, the children would probably feel more relieved.

Bi Yue was concerned about the old man, and Liu Yafang, the loving mother, suddenly approached Bi Yue and asked in a low voice:

"Stop squatting?"

Can you squat and stop? What does "Squat and stop" mean?

Although she didn't understand what was being said, she knew it was Northeastern dialect. She was so surprised that Bi Yue didn't react at all.

Her younger brother Bi Sheng explained the situation to her, and then he shouted, "Mom, my butt is about to fall off from squatting! It's so painful! Please find me something to cushion it!"
