347. Heart-to-heart talk
At this time, several people have to admit that Chen Xu is the person who is most familiar with the old man's life. This child is the longest to accompany the old couple. The three brothers looked at each other and walked out of the ward together. Boss Chen told them the news he had inquired about.
When the two brothers heard that the old man's health would be so bad, they couldn't help but be stunned, "How could it be like this? Dad's Cultural Revolution has survived. Why did he get better at the beginning? How could he get this disease..."
Both brothers couldn't accept this reality. Boss Chen then lit a cigarette and sucked it slowly, but there was a bitter taste in his mouth. The three brothers were thinking about their own thoughts. For a moment, no one spoke, and the corridor seemed very quiet for a while.
The three daughters-in-law finally couldn't sit in the ward. They all came out to find their men. Seeing the three brothers silent together, Zhang Jiuhong still asked, "Brother, you are the boss. Do you have that idea? Is our old man's disease cured or not?"
Chen Guochao took a look at his sister-in-law and said, "Give, why don't you treat? The old man has money in his hand. Even if we don't treat others, we can treat them by ourselves."
The third daughter-in-law Zhao Chun'e sneered and glanced at the eldest brother. "Brother, do you know how much it costs to treat the disease? Our father's money may not be enough. Even if the unit can reimburse it, it will pay you first. We don't know how much money he can have in his hand
Chen Guochao looked at his wife with some hesitation. Shi Wenting stared at him angrily, "Look at what I'm doing. I'll declare first. Our family doesn't have money. If any of you have it, you can pay it out first and wait for reimbursement before returning it to you."
Zhang Jiuhong looked at Shi Wenting with great satisfaction, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? At least the old man is also the father of the three of their brothers. The son has treated his father more and less. You are not afraid of being laughed at you. Be careful to let your children learn."
Shi Wenting knew that she was not Zhang Jiuhong's opponent, but her eyes dug at the concubine fiercely and replied strangely, "Ok, isn't it just for the money? The old man's house has a share of our family. If we don't have enough money, we will sell the house. We are even willing to ?"
In the ward, Chen Xu listened to the quarrels outside against the door. He really felt desolate for his grandfather. At this time, they were still thinking about the house and money.
"Grandpa, look at some of them..."
Mr. Chen can imagine what they are saying when he lies in **, but he beckons to his grandson, "Xuer, it takes a process to change. Over the years, they have become so selfish, and they also have problems with Grandpa. If they hadn't done that at the beginning, they would have been involved, but it is also the reason It's not the godfather's wrong. Alas, take your time. I hope the three of them can change this time.
Chen Guoqiang, who had been silent in the corridor outside, said, "Brother, no matter what, this is our biological father. We didn't treat him well before. He is like this. Do we still have to earn?" He exhaled gently, "I'm not saying how filial I am, but at this moment I don't think it's as good as a child. Chen Xu has done better than any of us. Our mother has gone. Are you still going to watch the old man go away like this? Then we are really worse than beasts. In the past, no Wrong, but it's our father lying there. Even if it's for a few children, I will treat our father. I don't want my son to treat me like this when I'm old. What do you want? If you're not afraid of retribution, just leave.
Chen Guoqiang has also been thinking about this question during this period. Why does his son go further and further with him? So the promising son rarely goes home and almost becomes a passer-by with them. Although these people in the family are close to them, they are not promising at all, except for eating. It costs money. Compared with the eldest son, it is in the sky and the earth.
Now when he sees his father like this, his brother is still talking about the problem of cure and failure in the corridor. He feels cold at this moment. If one day he lies in it, and the children in the family are the same, how can he live in his life?
Zhang Jiuhong, who is also a husband and wife, understands what her husband thinks, but it's really awkward for her family to pay for it by themselves. Why do they pay for it? Can't other people jump out of the cracks in the stone?
"Lao San, what's your opinion? Don't forget that you are a people's teacher..."
Zhang Jiuhong is waiting for Chen Guofu to make a statement. If this boy dares to refuse, she will not hesitate to make a big deal. They are workers, at least the third brother or a teacher. They are not afraid of wearing shoes barefoot. If they want fame, let's see who is most afraid of losing fame.
Chen Guofu took a look at Zhang Jiuhong and said, "Second sister-in-law, it is our responsibility to treat our father's family. Our mother is gone, and there is only one old man left in the family. If we don't care about it, it's really unreasonable."
After saying that, he also took a look at Chen Guochao. His purpose was very clear, which was to force his eldest brother to take a statement.
Chen Guochao looked at his two younger brothers and said, "I didn't say I don't care. The family is very nervous for the time being, so that I can go back and borrow some money. We will treat our father's illness as we should do, and we will talk about the rest later."
Even if Shi Wenting is dissatisfied at this time, she can't open her mouth at this time. Anyway, this is also her own man. When she comes home, she will talk about it.
The three brothers settled this matter. In the evening, Chen Guochao came with dinner, and Chen Xu returned to Wang's house for dinner, leaving the father and son to chat in the ward.
Mr. Chen ate the food brought by his son and said with some aftertaste, "Big boss, when it comes to scrambled eggs with leeks, I think of the scene where your mother cooked for you when you were a child. At that time, you were still young, and our family was also poor at that time. The little money that Dad earned When she ate good food, your mother was afraid that you guys were not nutritious enough, so she secretly went out to sell blood and bought you eggs to stir-fry. When she saw you around the pot waiting for the eggs to come out of the pot, I felt sorry to your mother and you. It was Dad who didn't have the ability to let you suffer with me.
Mr. Chen talked about the past. Although Chen Guochao was still young at that time, he remembered that there was such a scene, but he didn't know that the eggs he ate were actually sold by his ** mother's blood, and his heart was suddenly painful.
Seeing that his son's eyes were low and silent, Mr. Chen stared at the air with a little confused eyes, "Big boss, do you know what your mother's last words are?"
Chen Guochao raised his head in consternation. When the old man asked about this matter, they really didn't know, because at that time, they also divided the line with the old lady, that is, they died and came to see him off. Suddenly, when he heard the old father mention his deceased mother, he could not answer this.
"Your mother said that you had no choice but to be angry with you during the Cultural Revolution. Your mother also said that Chen Xu had always accompanied her when she was sick. She wanted to leave the house to this grandson. Do you think Dad should break your last wish?"
Chen Guochao was a little surprised to hear the news, "Dad, why didn't you say this before?"
Chen Minghai looked at his eldest son with a wry smile, "If I tell you, you don't want it. Chen Xu is still studying. He has so much energy to quarrel with you and fight with you. I don't want to put my grandson in a dilemma. You all think you should share the property, but you I never remember that my father is still alive, right?
If I don't want to give it to anyone, you will never get this house. For so many years, I just want to give you a chance. I always think that my son is a reasonable and righteous person, but I didn't expect that the three of you almost climbed your mother out of the ground for this house. Son, no The fault of filial piety is that I didn't educate you well!" Chen Minghai sighed deeply, and he really felt a little powerless.
Chen Guochao was drooped heavily by these words. It was true that they had never asked about his father's wishes. The old man was right. If he didn't want to give it to anyone, no one could get the house.
"Big boss, you know why I never open my mouth. You should know that this house is the witness that your mother and I have spent decades with me. Here you are croaking on the ground one by one, and then grow up little by little. This house carries too many memories from us. This house has the smell of you **. If I The house has been distributed to you. You said that this house can still be kept. Mom, boss, have you never thought about your mother for so many years? She has left too many things in this house. I just want to live here until I grow old and slowly recall the years I spent with your mother and you.
The old man's words were slow and low, but every word beat Chen Guochao's heart. Some numb nerves seemed to begin to recover. When he was a child, those memories were revived and replayed in the old man's memories. The three brothers played with their parents in the yard together and bathed them one by one. The The education of parents at the time of punishment seems to be vivid.
When he got sick when he was a child, his parents were undressed and guarded beside him. When they saw the happy smile on his face, he was so real and kind, but when did all this change? He can't remember it. Maybe after he started his family, from the Cultural Revolution to now, the family affection between relatives seems to have left him little by little. He doesn't remember how many years he hasn't played chess with his father.
There seemed to be something slowly overflowing in his eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at the old man, "Dad..."
Seeing his eldest son like this, Mr. Chen sighed and took his hand and patted him on the shoulder, as if he had patted them when they were sleeping when he was a child.
"National Super League, Dad doesn't expect you to be very promising. You don't want to study, and Dad doesn't force you, but I hope my son can be a really useful person, not a man who cares about everything, just stares at the houses at home.
Dad, although I don't know how long I can live, I hope that my sons can get along well and unite. Even if Dad is underground, I can explain it to your mother. RS
