"elder sister!"
Ai Cao started calling for help from a distance.
Su Qinghu was digging a hole with the old man and building a simple stove. When he heard Ai Cao's urgent call, he immediately stood up.
Seeing that neither Xiaoli Tuaner nor she looked injured, she stopped rushing over and stood there waiting.
"Hey, Xiao Feng?" The old man looked up and saw people, and also saw Ai Cao carrying a basket on his back. He was furious. "Niu Xiaocao, you've become so capable! You dare to steal Grandpa Feng's firewood stick?"
Ai Cao: "Master, what are you doing? Giving me another nickname!"
We agreed that her nickname would only be "Niuniu"? What's she calling her now?
Uncle Feng laughed: "Uncle, Ai Cao is afraid that I won't come over, she has no intention of stealing the firewood."
When Ai Cao came closer, Xiao Lituaner stretched out her hands and asked Su Qinghu to hug her.
It’s difficult to talk about things if you stand too low.
Su Qinghu held the little guy in her arms, and heard the little guy couldn't wait to say, "Mom, can we give this grandpa to my great-aunt?"
What?
deliver?
What are you sending it for?
"This grandpa is sick." Xiaoli Tuan'er glanced at Grandpa Feng, then turned to Su Qinghu and said, "His illness is the same as... well, the same illness that my grandfather's comrade-in-arms had."
Radiation sickness?
Su Qinghu looked over, and before he could take a closer look, he saw Ai Cao quickly pull up Uncle Feng's wide trouser legs.
Uncle Feng had never seen anyone with Su Qinghu's temperament, and he almost subconsciously wanted to pull down his trouser legs to avoid offending others.
"You can try to ask my great-aunt for treatment, and my father-in-law will take care of your food, lodging, and transportation. Living expenses and medical expenses will be free during this period." Su Qinghu thought about it and said, "You only need to sign a document. If your condition worsens during treatment due to our relationship, we will compensate you according to the current standard, and your children are not allowed to ask for compensation in any form again."
Uncle Feng: "I——"
"Xiao Feng has no children, so you can just take him away." The old man had already learned about Su Qinghu's identity and background from his own son, so he was very willing for Uncle Feng to go.
Even if the disease cannot be cured, one can still enjoy a life without worries about food, clothing, or someone to collect the body.
It's better than working hard to dig for food in the fields.
Uncle Feng was shocked. Uncle Niu didn't ask anything and just had someone take him away?
"Don't worry." Old Master Niu smiled. "This little Su's husband and father-in-law are both in the army. Her father-in-law retired and contacted a few old friends to provide welfare for veterans like you."
When Old Feng heard this, he became excited and quickly asked about the serial number and other things.
Su Qinghu: "I really haven't asked them this question. You can ask them yourself when the time comes."
After she answered with a smile, she asked Xiaoli Tuan'er, "Do we need to leave immediately?"
This is to ask Uncle Feng how serious the situation is.
"Yeah." Xiaoli Tuaner nodded heavily.
Su Qinghu thought for a moment and asked Uncle Feng, "Are there any other veterans like you? If so, can you contact them?"
"Yes. There's one nearby, and the other two are not in this city." Uncle Feng answered clearly and efficiently, "We can all contact them."
Now they live wherever they want and rarely move around. He has mailed food to them according to their address.
"Then, Uncle Feng, you lead the team, and let Uncle Niu send out a disciple to go with you to look for people. Plan the route, and rush to my aunt's place while looking for people." She knew that people like them were independent and didn't want to trouble others, but for safety reasons, she had to assign them a doctor to deal with possible emergencies.
Uncle Feng originally refused, but when he thought of his comrades, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
If he doesn't go, they definitely won't go either, alas.
"Sister, I know who has the best medical skills among my grandfather's men. Wait for me to snatch one from you." She wants to snatch Uncle Zheng!
Uncle Zheng is not only a skilled doctor, but he can also drive and speaks standard Mandarin, which can save me a lot of trouble.
Su Qinghu smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Ai Cao."
The old man just watched Su Qinghu settle the matter with a smile, without answering any questions or doubts for Grandpa Feng.
"By the way, Lao Feng, you're not sure when you'll be back. Think about who will farm your land when you go back. Don't ask me for help, I can't do that much."
What he meant was to let Uncle Feng rent it out privately, of course nominally to help with the farming, so that he could also earn some income.
With him watching, others can't refuse to pay the money. When the time comes, just transfer it to him.
You don’t have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, but if there is something you want, you can buy it if you have money.
Uncle Feng nodded seriously, "Thank you, Uncle Niu."
He had received a lot of help from the Niu family, and this time he benefited from the Niu family again. His heart was in turmoil, but he could only say "thank you".
====
Su Qinghu stayed here for quite a while, almost two weeks. Seeing that Ai Cao was actively contacting people and envious of her Uncle Zheng for being able to do such a meaningful thing, she decided not to stay any longer.
After bringing Uncle Feng and his nearby comrades back to the city, Su Qinghu started making phone calls.
She called her parents-in-law's house, explained the situation and her needs, and waited for her father-in-law to send someone to contact her.
But she didn't expect that within two hours, a middle-aged man full of energy and vigor came to her residence, talked to her for a few words, and then connected with Uncle Feng.
Looking at the middle-aged man's behavior, Su Qinghu knew that he was the same type of person as her father-in-law.
She let them chat and went back to the room, took out the envelope containing the money, opened it, pulled out a few bills, and left the rest untouched, ready to give it to the middle-aged man when they left.
There is no direct cross-provincial cash withdrawal service now, and wire transfers and collection agencies are time-consuming. Based on these considerations, he told Cheng Qian where he was going and asked him to arrange this matter in advance.
Of course, she also had a lot of cash in her suitcase.
The money she was going to give to Grandpa Feng and the others for their trip was what she had prepared before she took Xiaoli Tuaner out to play.
"Mom, I'll give you mine too."
Xiaoli Tuaner took out the bag that Grandma Yu had made for her, took out the envelope inside and handed it over.
Su Qinghu was stunned. "Without me accompanying you, can you withdraw the money?"
"It was given to me by my great-aunt." He took out a few envelopes from his bag and told her one by one, "Grandma gave it to me, my eldest brother gave it to me, my second brother gave it to me, my brother Duoduo gave it to me, my uncle gave it to me, and Grandma Yu gave it to me..."
Su Qinghu laughed.
Xiaoli Tuaner heard the laughter and raised his little head, "Mom?"
"Mom didn't expect you to receive so much travel funding." She waved her hand, "You won't need so much. This time..."
Facing the child's clear eyes, she changed her words, "Give me two hundred as their food expenses on the way. My money will be used as transportation expenses."
Feeling a sense of participation from Su Qinghu, Xiaoli Tuaner raised the envelope in her hand high and handed it to her happily.
