Chapter 99 99. Be filial and filial (1)
Speaking of wrestling, everyone has another topic to talk about.
First, as you get older, you are not afraid of anything else but suffering from inability to move. Once you lie there unable to move, your energy will be gone in two or three months.
Second, it is hard to take care of the family. There is so much work inside and outside, and the injured and sick people are hampered by the fact that they cannot go out and have to be waited on at all times...
He who lies down suffers, and he who takes care of him also suffers.
There is no filial son in bed for a long time, this is the reason.
Everyone chatted about this topic, and they all lamented about their age and body.
But Song Tan watched with cold eyes. This group of old men kept saying that those who should drink drank and those who should smoke smoked. No one took health care seriously, and he was really speechless in his heart.
Song Youde also drank a small glass of wine. At this moment, he thought about the people younger than him who just disappeared, and he sighed in his heart: "Sancheng, since you are going, go and have a look after dinner, and leave it there to help others. "
“There’s no need to come back in a hurry, there are people in our family. There was something going on at our family, and someone came from their family too. We have to go.”
This is the rule in the village. If you go to help someone else’s family, then others will come to help you if your own family has something to do.
Of course, if this family doesn’t help others, then naturally no one else will help when it’s this family’s turn.
In rural areas, there are many rules and regulations. Unlike urban areas, as long as you give enough money, everything can be done with one-stop services. Many things here have to be done together with relatives and friends.
The diners were also thinking: "We are leaving now, but we have to go up the mountain the day after tomorrow. They are all from the same village, and we have all paid homage before. Let's wait until tomorrow to go there and pay our respects."
Yunqiao Village still has burials today. The rules for burials are to carry the coffin up the mountain early in the morning, but hospitality, services, etc. are all done on the second day after the person leaves.
This man has just left, setting up a funeral tent, inviting Taoist priests, preparing tobacco, wine and tea, making an appointment with the chef... there are a lot of things going on!
Song Sancheng couldn't sit still anymore. After eating, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and went straight over: "I'll go check on the situation first."
The rest of the group discussed and discussed, and then went up the mountain with their tools.
I don’t know where the young man driving the excavator was found by Zhang Yanping. He was one of a thousand honest people. Seeing that everyone had left, he thought about it and went up the mountain to continue working.
Speaking to other veteran workers, if they were working on a daily basis, I would not say that they would work overtime, but they would definitely not work overtime.
As soon as he started to move, everyone naturally got busy, and it didn’t take long for the matter to be forgotten.
There are all older people in the village, so it is normal for people to go one by one or two by two.
Unexpectedly, within an hour, Song Sancheng went up the mountain angrily holding the rake.
Song Tan also brought Qiao Qiao here to help pull rocks and pieces of wood. Now seeing her father's angry face, she had no choice but to raise her voice as the machine roared and worked:
“Dad, what’s going on?”
Why did you come back like this when you went to help others?
Song Sancheng looked angry: "Don't mention it! The three children of this family are really nothing!"
As soon as the gossip was mentioned, several working men couldn’t help but get excited and asked quickly:
“What’s going on? Is the child unfilial?”
One of them advised: "Hey, Lao Song, you should be more open-minded. The children will fly away after they grow up. What can you expect from them?"
“That is, we can only see him less than three or two times a year, and that’s fine as long as we can live with it.”
Song Sancheng looked furious:
“What do you know? This is not a matter of filial piety or lack of filial piety, this is a matter of having a wolf-like heart and a dog’s lungs!” Oh!
Song Sancheng is a kind and kind person. To describe him like this now, there must be something big going on!
Just listen to Song Sancheng’s words:
"As soon as I came over today, I heard the boss of his family calling the guy doing the job in a arrogant manner. The boss raised his voice and said he wanted to pick the most expensive one! He also wanted a good shroud, an ice coffin, and more. What kind of lively ritual ceremony..."
"I thought to myself, don't we old people just want to leave with dignity? This child can do it too. What happens after death is also a matter, and face and affection are also emotions, right?"
“Who knew that Zhang Wang’s family directly hit his son on the head with a hoe, but he was pushed away by the big guys, and then I realized what was going on!”
There are some lazy people in every village, but Zhang Wang's family and Sister-in-law Zhang are definitely not like that.
One of the couple has a slight lameness and the other doesn't speak much, but both of them can do it.
At that time, we were suffering from famine and lack of food and clothing, so we had to raise three children.
At that time, they got married early and had children early. The eldest child is already forty this year, and the youngest daughter is already thirty-one or twelve years old. They are all married people.
Although few people usually come back, Zhang Jiawang's face is full of pride when he mentions his children. Today, he said that the children called again, and tomorrow, he said that the children wanted to eat home-grown vegetables. The next day, the children went out of their way to I bought something to see the old man...
Old people, don’t they all want to be filial to their children?
This is also the norm in the village.
But whether the specific days are hot or cold, only each family knows.
Last week, on the day Song Tan went out to buy golden cherry blossoms, the eldest son of the Zhang family called and said he wanted to eat the pearl flowers from his hometown.
Pearl flower is a local wild vegetable. When the flower buds are just sprouting from the branches, there will be leaf buds one by one. It has a unique taste when it is blanched and fried with meat or noodles.
Sister-in-law Zhang went up the mountain with the basket. Unexpectedly, when she was going down the mountain, no one paid attention and she fell down and broke her leg.
Because I didn’t bring my mobile phone, it took half an afternoon before Zhang Wang’s family found me. I asked a neighbor to help me carry him into the house, and then I called my son. The son said impatiently:
“Mom, you are such a big person, why are you always running to the mountains when you have nothing to do? There is a shortage of food and drink at home!”
Then he said: "I'm at work, how can I have time to go home? It will take several hours to get back! Isn't my sister in town? Tell her to hurry up and find a car to take you to the hospital."
The call was transferred to my daughter again.
My daughter was not happy either and said: "The village is all raised by sons. Mom, you can't do anything just because I'm close. You have to count on me! For such a big thing as a broken leg, you have to call my brother. You ask my brother to call him." 120."
Okay, 120 would be willing to come to their place. They only get 500 for a trip.
The one-way trip alone takes more than an hour and a half, and it can take up to four hours for the ambulance to come and go and wait for someone to be taken to the hospital.
Moreover, in the ravines, the elderly are not good at locating. When the ambulance reaches a fork in the road, Zhang Jiawang has to ride a motorcycle in front to guide the way.
Who can afford to wait for this?
Finally, I found the driver of a bus that runs from village to village, and then I quickly found a car to take the person away.
On the way halfway, the old lady’s condition looked bad, and the driver was also scared, so he hurriedly sent her to the nearest town hospital.
Pearl flower is really delicious, a kind of wild vegetable.
There are rules in some villages that you cannot kill people in your car, otherwise you will be unlucky for a long time. Drivers are also very careful when driving.
