Chapter 49 The Respectable Old Man
"Hey! Uncle Shitou and Aunt Hua, when did you come?"
When Yu Zehai opened the door of the special care unit, he saw two sixties-year-old men, Yu Zhenshi and Liu Cuihua, who were sitting by the bed wiping their tears. They were Yu Zecheng's parents, Qiaowa's grandfather and grandmother.
Yu Zehai was naughty when he was a child, so he took the initiative to give the two the titles "Uncle Shitou" and "Aunt Hua". Later, among those younger generations, this title was spread into "Grandpa Shitou" and "Grandpa Hua".
After entering the ward, Yu Zehai nodded to Yu Zehu and Yu Zekai in the ward, then quickly walked to the hospital bed and said, "Qiaowa, I'm awake, Uncle Yao is here to see you."
"Uncle Yao!" When I saw Yu Zehai, Qiaowa's tears suddenly flowed out, and the sound of mosquitoes and flies sounded. If Yu Zehai had not had a keen sense of perception and amazing hearing, he would have probably ignored it. This girl has been a person who is pitiful since she was a child, very weak.
"Sister, don't cry!"
At this time, a little boy of seven or eight years old next to him said in a muffled voice, while stretching out his hand to wipe the tears of Qiaowa on the hospital bed.
"Kuankuan is here too!" Yu Zehai reached out and touched Kuankuan's forehead, then touched Qiaowa's head, and said, "If Qiaowa doesn't cry, everything will be fine!" After that, Yu Zehai asked Huzi to take a bowl and scald it with boiling water, and then poured two large bowls of the broth in the thermos pot for Kuankuan and Qiaowa.
The scent of the nose spread throughout the ward. Seeing everyone raising their noses, Yu Zehai said: "This is the wild boar rib soup that my mother stewed for Qiaowa in the morning. Qiaowa, your injury is on the legs and does not affect your meal, so you have to eat more. There are a lot of Chinese herbal medicines in these broths to help your wounds recover. Kuankuan, you have eaten a bowl of it today after your sister's glory."
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"
...
"Boss, Qiaowa woke up in the middle of the night last night." Hu Zi scratched his head and said, "The little girl didn't say anything or screamed in pain after waking up. She kept crying, making Brother Kai and I so anxious that she said good things all night." After a slight salute, Hu Zi seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "By the way, I also drank that bottle of spring water for Qiaowa in batches as you told me. But after drinking, Qiaowa's whole body was covered in dirt, thanks to the nurse lady on duty last night."
"Yeah, I get it."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zehai nodded to Huzi and Yu Zekai and said, "Okay, Huzi and Brother Kai, you two go to have a meal. After the meal, find a hotel to have a good sleep. If you have anything to do, go and go!"
"yes!"
After the two left, Yu Zhenshi and Liu Cuihua thanked Yu Zehai again. Because after the village chief Yu Zeming returned last night, he had already told them about Qiaowa's injury and the hospitalization. Yu Zehai also arranged the two old men were grateful to Yu Zehai.
"Uncle Shitou, Aunt Hua, why are you polite to me? We are all from the family, so it's not right to help each other if you have something to do? Not to mention anything else, I've been studying outside for many years, and our village has helped my family once or twice. Also, a few days ago, my father dug medicine on the mountain, so we can help us collect money to send it to the hospital for treatment to recover our health."
Yu Zehai smiled and continued, "What's more, if you want to thank the words, please thank Mr. Li after returning to the village. If it weren't for his early first aid bandage, Qiaowa would probably lose too much blood and cause more serious consequences. As for Qiaowa's injuries, Uncle Shi Tou and Aunt Hua would be relieved. I've seen it just now. In less than three or five days, I'll guarantee you a lively little girl."
Through communication, we learned that in order to understand the situation as soon as possible and take care of the hospital's granddaughter, the two old men took their grandson Kuankuan and walked more than 30 kilometers to the town hospital before dawn. The family of three people walked, how fast can they walk on foot? Therefore, they were just half an hour earlier than Yu Zehai.
Yu Zehai sighed again when he heard this.
Two elderly men over 60 years old, with a seven or eight-year-old kid, set off before dawn and walked more than 30 kilometers to the town hospital... If this were placed in a big city, it would definitely be something that I would never dare to think about. But for the villagers who have been doing farm work for their whole life, it seems so common.
Over there, the two little guys shared all the broth in the thermos pot, and they were full of oil and exclaimed. As expected, before he could eat Lingquan, Kuankuan, who had been eating Lingquan for the first time, he hurriedly covered his stomach and ran towards the toilet.
"Kuankuan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the strangeness of the little grandson, the two old men asked hurriedly.
"It's okay!" Yu Zehai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The broth is specially added with a variety of expensive medicinal materials, so people who eat it for the first time will have a detoxification process. Detoxification is also very simple, it is to squat on a large size, and then it will sweat a lot." Yu Zehaihai was worried that the two old people did not know what detoxification means, so he added a sentence.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Hearing Yu Zehai's explanation, the two of them felt relieved. But then Liu Cuihua looked at her granddaughter again and asked in confusion: "Hey, that's not right? Haiwazi, as you say that, why didn't my Qiaowa react?"
"Ha ha……"
Yu Zehai laughed and said, "Aunt Hua, don't you not believe it. Ask Qiaowa if she was sweating all over her body last night?"
"Uncle Yao is right!" Qiaowa wiped her mouth, burped in satisfaction, and said crisply: "Grandpa, mother-in-law, I had a layer of black stuff all over my body last night. It smells so smelly. In the end, Uncle Huzi found a doctor and sister to take a bath for me."
"Those things are toxins in your body! By the way, Qiaowa, how do you feel now?" Yu Zehai touched the little girl's head with some pain. Under the dual effects of vitality and spiritual spring, Qiaowa's face has become much rosy and has a good mental state.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"
The little girl said sweetly: "When I woke up last night, my legs were still very painful, but after drinking the water from Uncle Huzi, it gradually stopped hurting. Until now, although it still hurts a little, it is not so severe."
"Well, that's good!" Yu Zehai nodded and said, "If you eat enough, just sleep for a while. This will be good for recovering your injuries."
Before he could talk a few times, the little girl was already yawning. Yu Zehai knew that it was just because the other party had overdrawn before, so he called the little girl to fall asleep.
"Uncle Shitou, Aunt Hua, what crops have been planted in the fields this year?" Seeing that Qiaowa was already asleep, Yu Zehai led a few people to the rest area and asked with a smile.
"I know, I know!" At this time, Kuankuan, who had just finished the poison and changed into a new set of clothes, hurriedly came over and said, "Uncle Yao, the fields I grow include corn, potato, red potato, peanuts, etc.."
Yu Zehai looked at the two elderly people in front of him, working hard on the ground with their backs facing the loess for many years. Their bodies had already transformed into a "bow" shape, with their heads full of flowers and dark faces, and their dark faces were covered with crisscrossing gullies. This is the lovely working people!
The biggest difference between farmers and enterprise workers is that they have never retired and retired. They live until they are busy until they are old, and their lives are endless. Unless they are seriously ill or can't climb, you can definitely see their busy figures in the fields.
"Uncle Shitou, Aunt Hua, you are so old that you didn't think of resting at home? You have grown so many crops, and you can't even say that you can't make it hard to work, and you can't sell them for a lot of money. In the end, you're all feeding pigs..." Yu Zehai said tentatively.
"Haiwazi, don't you know. Like us countrymen, how can we have free time to eat at home and wait for death?" Yu Zhenshi took out the cigarette pot and put Ye Zi cigarettes in. After thinking about it, he put it away again. He said in a low voice: "As for those lands, they can't be left there. You can sell some, and you can buy some things for the dolls."
"I never thought about contracting out these lands?"
"Uh... Haiwazi, don't tell jokes! Wherever we are in Yujiaao Village, will someone contract land?" The person who took the conversation was Aunt Hua next to her. She shook her head and smiled helplessly.
"Yes, I have!"
Yu Zehai nodded seriously and said, "I am preparing to contract all the arable land in the village and then carry out special planting. So Uncle Shi Tou and Aunt Hua, you are so old, so you will take good care of Qiaowa and Kuankuan at home from now on. As for making money, isn't there any brother Chengzi and his wife?"
After a slight meal, Yu Zehai continued, "I know that we rural people are not idle, and we are worried about not going to the fields for a day. From now on, I will contract the village land, and then leave one or two acres for every household. You can arrange to grow some vegetables and other things by yourself."
Uncle Shi Tou heard this and looked at his wife next to him, then looked at Yu Zehai and said seriously: "Haiwazi, are you serious?"
"certainly!"
Yu Zehai nodded and said, "I only talked about this matter with Brother Ming. I mean that after all the crops in this season are harvested, the land in the village will be handed over to me to contract. At that time, I will pay the contract fee first. As for the contract price, don't worry, boy, I will not cheat my own people, right?"
"There have been rumors in the village these days that your child is going to pay for everyone to build roads. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!" After a slight pause, Uncle Shitou continued, "But, your child is building roads and contracting land. Have you thought about it now that you are laying such a big plate?"
"These two are not conflicting!" Yu Zehai shrugged and said with a smile: "When the land contract is contracted, I will ask Uncle Shi Tou to help me with work in the village. My plan is like this. Everyone contracts the land to me. If you have labor at home, you can also get my work and get my salary. In this way, the annual land contract fee and the salary you get for me will definitely be much more cost-effective than the crops you planted with exhaustion. Everyone is smart, and I think this account should be settled."
After listening to Yu Zehai's words, Uncle Shi Tou and Aunt Hua both laughed. Such a good thing was something that I never dared to think of before. To be honest, they were like dreaming at this time, which made the old couple's faces burst into joy.
However, joy is one aspect, but they have to go home to discuss land contracting. Although their son and daughter-in-law work outside all year round, they are the ones who are in charge of this family.
