Uncle and nephew Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongxian had been standing by Lao Yangtou's bed, talking to him.

During this period, Mrs. Sun came over again and brought dinner.

"Mom, I've also sent you and Mei'er's share over here, so that you don't have to travel a long way," said Sun.

Yang Huamei quickly stood up and thanked Mrs. Sun, "Third sister-in-law, you don't have to prepare food for me. I have to go back. The four men in the family are still waiting for me to go back and cook!"

Before Sun could say anything, Tan spoke first: "Since your third sister-in-law has prepared your meal, don't refuse. It's the same thing if you go back to cook it after eating. There are chicken legs, so the food is not bad!"

As Tan was speaking, he put the chicken leg in his bowl into Yang Huamei's bowl.

Yang Huamei glanced at the two chicken legs and smiled helplessly: "Mom, you can eat it by yourself, I really want to go back."

Mrs. Tan then turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "Mei'er is going back. Bring her the two chicken legs."

Mrs. Sun reacted, responded and hurried to prepare, but was stopped by Yang Huamei.

"Sister-in-law, no, no, no..."

Sun said: "It's okay, just bring it to the children to eat!"

Mrs. Sun insisted on getting oiled paper to pack it. According to Mrs. Sun's understanding of Mrs. Tan, if Yang Huamei didn't take these two chicken legs away, her mother-in-law would definitely have to scold them from dusk to dawn to get rid of the disaster tonight.

.

After Yang Huamei left, Mrs. Tan picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate the food with satisfaction.

Yang Huazhong came to the bedside and said, "Dad, let me feed you."

Yang Yongxian said: "Third uncle, let me feed you!"

Yang Huazhong said: "You go and eat, I'll come..."

"I'll come..."

"Okay, you two, stop fighting. I can't stand up with my legs, and it's not like I can't lift my hands. Help me up, and I'll eat by myself!" Lao Yang said.

So, Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongxian worked together to carefully help the old man sit up, put a big handkerchief in front of him, and then brought a bowl of sharp white rice and vegetables to the old man.

.

The old man looked at the vegetables in the big bowl. There were fish, meat, and chicken legs, all of which were hard vegetables.

"It would be nice if there was a little wine here." Old Yangtou muttered.

Yang Huazhong raised his head and said: "Dad, you just woke up and you are taking medicine again. Uncle Fu and his son have told you not to drink alcohol. Please bear with it!"

Lao Yang pursed his lips, a little unhappy, but had no choice but to dig his head for a while.

Just like that, in the early morning, Yang Huazhou and Yang Yongjin came over on time, "Third brother, Yongxian, we will guard you in the second half of the night. You can go and rest!" Yang Huazhou said.

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Yongxian and I are resting in the room next door. If anything happens, call us."

The next day, the brothers sat in the main room of Yang Huazhong's house with dark circles under their eyes to discuss.

"Third brother, this can't continue like this. We still have to discuss how to keep vigil." Yang Huazhou said.

The old man couldn't get off the ground with his legs, so he couldn't do anything without people around him at night to drink water, relieve himself, and so on. And Mrs. Tan was blind and couldn't take care of Old Yangtou at all.

Raising children for old age is the time when it comes in handy.

Yang Huazhong said: "I have also thought about it. If we go around in the middle of the night, everyone can't sleep well, so why don't we stay all night long?"

"I am the eldest, and my father lives at my house, so it is convenient for me to take care of him. You can leave everything to me during the day, and we take turns taking care of him at night."

"Tonight I will come first, and tomorrow night I will be the fifth, and the others behind will be arranged according to their age. What do you think?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Yang Huazhou said: "Third brother, I don't have any objection to your proposal. It's just that you work too hard during the day."

Yang Huazhong smiled: "It's okay, who makes me your elder brother!"

Yang Huazhou said: "In this case, we can come around more often during the day when we have time, and try to help you share some of the burden."

Yang Yongxian's brothers nodded one after another.

There are differences between men and women, and it is inconvenient for the daughters-in-law to take care of their father-in-law, so the sons have to take the lead.

The Yang brothers came as agreed, and they took turns coming around during the day to talk to old Yang.

At night, they also kept vigil according to the order of eldest and youngest. A small shop was set up next to Lao Yangtou and Tan's bed. At night, if Lao Yang wanted to drink water, he would immediately bring him hot tea, and if he wanted to urinate, he would immediately bring a chamber pot.

If you turn your head over and want to cough, immediately bring the spittoon to you.

Even Lao Yangtou felt chest tightness and breathlessness, and he still had to help stroke his back...

When relatives and friends at home heard the news, they all came to visit Lao Yangtou with gifts.

Everyone gathered in Lao Yangtou's room in front of his bed, saying words of comfort and encouragement.

Old Yangtou once again felt like he was being held in the moonlight by all the stars.

I found that even though I couldn’t get my legs off the ground, the feeling of being cared for by a whole family was really good!

In this way, day by day passed. During this period, Uncle Fu and his son came to treat his legs several times. They also invited doctors from Yihechun Medical Center to come to the house to see him. He took medicine and injected needles, but nothing improved. Old Yang's head

I was also lying a little tired, and the initial fresh energy had passed. I looked out the window every day, and my temper became more and more irritable day by day.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the seventh day of the first lunar month.

When it was getting dark, the sound of firecrackers started to sound outside.

Lao Yang sat on the bed with his head bent, listening to the noise outside, knowing that it was 'last year'

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, according to the custom in Changping Village, every household will set off firecrackers to scare weasels and pray for the prosperity of chickens, ducks and poultry in the coming year.

At this time in previous years, he would light a firecracker next to the chicken coop in the backyard for good luck.

But this year...

The old man looked at his unconscious legs under the quilt, his brows knitted into a knot.

Obviously I can eat, drink, sleep, and talk now, and my mind is very clear, but why can't my legs stand up? What kind of evil disease is this?

Is it a disease?

The old man was irritated and panicked. He clenched his fist and punched his legs hard.

Even if I hit it, I wouldn't feel anything at all!

The old man was very angry and continued to smash...

The door creaked open, and Yang Huazhong, who had just come in from the outside after setting off the firecrackers, saw the old man mutilating himself. The man was shocked and hurriedly ran over and held Old Yang's hand: "Dad, what are you doing?

It’s absolutely impossible to do this!”

"What can't you do? You have a pair of useless legs anyway!" Old Yangtou said angrily.

Yang Huazhong held Lao Yangtou's hand more tightly: "Dad, don't say dejected words. After the tenth day of the lunar month, the county medical center should open. By then we will send you to the county town for leg treatment. In the past few days, you

Be more patient!"

When he heard that he was going to have his leg treated on the tenth day of the lunar month, Old Yangtou finally loosened his fists.

He turned to grab Yang Huazhong's sleeve and cried like a child: "Third brother, your father and I have a hard life. At this age, I can't get out of bed. I even have to rely on you to urinate. I, your father, can't survive."
