Qi Sheng woke up again, and after receiving all the plots, he realized the current time point, he didn't even care to put on his shoes, and hurried out the door.
The flustered back made the eldest son Qi Xiangdong look at him inexplicably, but Qi Xiangdong didn't care, he didn't even move his buttocks, and continued to sit on the bench under the jujube tree, knocking the melon seeds in his hand.
Here, Qi Sheng ran all the way according to the location in his memory, and finally saw the figure of his youngest son, he didn't care to take a breath, and shouted anxiously: "Xiang Nan, stop!"
It's a pity that the boy didn't seem to hear it, and continued to walk forward with his head sullen. Qi Sheng looked at the truck that was getting closer, and couldn't care about anything else, and with the last bit of strength in his body, he rushed over and threw him to the ground.
**
"dad!"
With a muffled snort, Qi Sheng ignored his younger son's yelling, gently moved his already painful and numb calf, and resigned himself to the conclusion that the calf might be broken.
The younger son's nervous voice came from his ear again, but Qi Sheng didn't want to talk to him, now he knew he was nervous.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The truck driver also ran over at this time, and seeing Qi Sheng not moving, he was so frightened that his words trembled a little.
Qi Sheng didn't want to lie on his stomach like this all the time, and when he saw someone coming, he endured the pain and said, "Please send me to a nearby hospital, my leg is a bit weak..."
Hearing that he was still able to speak well, the truck driver let go of most of his worries. Hearing what he said, he quickly stepped forward and carefully helped him up.
When Qi Sheng's right calf was cast in plaster, he ignored his younger son who was waiting carefully, took out the money in the right pocket of his jacket, and returned the medical expenses to the driver, "I'm really sorry today, if it wasn't for my brat who couldn't walk, Even having long eyes won't delay your efforts for half a day."
The truck driver, who just went out to pay the medical bills, couldn't help scolding countless words, was a little embarrassed for a while, "This... After all, I hit someone, and I should pay the medical bills. Brother, you are polite!"
"How can you say that? I'm sorry for delaying you for a long time. You must take the money."
Although it is true that the master is driving a little fast, it is mainly because of the incident caused by his son's ignoring and walking forward. Qi Sheng is not a person who likes to take advantage. This master's attitude is sincere now, and he can't let others eat him with peace of mind. This loss.
The truck driver was already feeling a little uncomfortable because of paying the medical bills just now, but after hearing Qi Sheng's words, he didn't refuse any more.
"Brother, you are a real person, why don't I send you back now."
This is the countryside in the late 1980s. It is not as convenient as later generations to take a car. Qi Sheng thought it would be really troublesome to find a car to go home now. However, the driver refused to accept anything, Qi Sheng couldn't help it, and only watched the driver leave after thanking him repeatedly.
"Dad, what's going on? What happened to your leg! Who hit you!"
Qi Xiangdong, who still didn't understand what was going on, looked at his old father who ran out at noon and was fine, but was put in a plaster cast when he came back.
The eldest son, who was tall and burly, shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was going to have a life-and-death battle with the driver who hit him in the next moment. Qi Sheng's head hurt from his loud voice, "What are you talking about, hurry up and cook, do you want to eat dinner?"
Qi Xiangdong's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he looked at his father strangely: "Dad, did you recognize the wrong person? Why did you ask me to cook..."
Qi Sheng glared at the elder son: "It's you, hurry up!"
"Dad, let me go."
Qi Xiangnan, who was standing aside, looked at his father who had ignored him all the way, nervous and at a loss as to what to do, at this moment he instinctively wanted to show up.
Qi Sheng's tone was bad: "Stop, I still have a debt to settle with you!" After speaking, he turned his head and glared at his eldest son, "Why are you still standing here!"
Qi Xiangdong found out that his father had a bad temper now, and didn't know what was going on, so he touched the back of his head and reluctantly walked into the kitchen.
"Dad..." The boy stood at the side helplessly, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red.
Seeing that he didn't soften his heart, Qi Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled his youngest son's clothes to pull him over, and slapped his butt hard several times.
"You didn't hear me just now! You don't know how to look at the car when you walk!" Qi Sheng kept moving his hands, and reprimanded him one after another.
The boy didn't dare to hide when he was beaten, he stood there obediently and let others beat him. When the slaps behind him stopped, the boy still kept his head down and didn't say a word, he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe away the tears that were wet on his cheeks.
Seeing him like this, Qi Sheng finally dissipated a lot of anger in his heart. Looking at his youngest son's pitiful appearance, he didn't let him go easily: "Remember from now on, if you don't know how to follow the road, I will break your leg!"
**
The Qi family's dinner consisted of steamed buns and pickles, plus a bowl of porridge with beans and lentils. After the father and son finished their meal, Qi Xiangnan instinctively reached out to clean up the dishes and went out to wash. Qi Sheng frowned and looked at it, but didn't say much.
Before going to bed, Qi Sheng wanted to keep a straight face and scare his younger son again, but seeing the child serving him attentively, he couldn't put on a fierce look anymore, and before the child brought out the footwashing water, he finally agreed to show him smiley.
It wasn't until he was lying on the bed shaking his cattail fan that Qi Sheng could finally relax. The day went by, and he couldn't save him if he was too late.
Qi Xiangnan in the other room was lying on the bed for a long time and couldn't help crying and laughing when thinking about what happened during the day.
I thought his father didn't care about him, but I didn't expect his father to save him at such a critical moment, regardless of his own safety. Qi Xiangnan cried again. The grievances and complaints in his heart over the years and what happened this morning also melted into air with these tears. evaporate.
When Qi Sheng woke up the next day, he saw that his youngest son had already prepared the food, and saw him sitting up, and hurried over to help him get dressed.
"My foot was hurt a little, but my hand is still fine. I'll do my own clothes, and get me a basin of wash water." Envoy Qi Sheng was very easy to wake up his son.
The younger son was also very obedient, obediently answered, walked out of the main room to the well and began to press the water.
It's the end of July, and it's the hottest time of the year. Qi Sheng put on the yellowed vest and a pair of baggy breeches. Just as he was dressed, he saw his youngest son bring in the washbasin. .
After receiving the towel handed by his youngest son, Qi Sheng sighed happily: It's great to have such a filial son.
It's a pity that before he finished expressing his feelings, he heard his eldest son yelling, "I'm starving to death!"
Qi Sheng: "..."
Sure enough, there is always worry!
The dining table was in the middle of the main room, and Qi Sheng didn't ask his son to bring him the food, but his calf was a bit inconvenient, and it wasn't so serious that he couldn't get out of bed.
Being supported by the younger son to sit on the table, looking at the older son who was eating happily, Qi Sheng's head was full of black lines.
"In the future, when your brother cooks in our family, you will wash the dishes, and you will also wash the clothes at home from now on!"
Qi Xiangdong looked at his father in disbelief, and a day passed without understanding, why did his father suddenly start ordering him to work!
"Dad, isn't this what Xiang Nan should do? Why do you want me to do it now!"
Qi Sheng frowned: "Why is that what your younger brother should do? He is two years younger than you! He usually does all the housework. You, the boss, have nothing to do all day long. You can do it if you don't want to." , I happened to go out to work with the construction team of your Uncle Jianguo next door for two months."
When Qi Xiangdong heard that his father asked him to go out to work in such a hot day, he was very unhappy, and muttered angrily: "It was early in the morning, did I take the wrong medicine? Isn't Xiangnan doing it all the time..."
Seeing this strong, bear-like elder son who is too lazy to do nothing at home and eat free food every day, Qi Sheng was furious.
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. If you hadn't bullied your brother like that yesterday, I wouldn't have been hit by a car!"
Qi Xiangdong raised his head in surprise, thinking that his father was being unreasonable today, why did you blame me for being bumped, his father couldn't afford to offend him, he stared at Qi Xiangnan habitually.
It's a pity that Qi Sheng who "took the wrong medicine" no longer turned to him. Seeing him bullying Qi Xiangnan, he reprimanded him again: "What are you doing staring at your brother? He is twenty years old and still idles at home every day. I don’t even know how to take the initiative to do housework.”
Qi Xiangdong was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore. What happened to his father today, he started scolding him as soon as he came up, and turned towards the little bastard, but when he put down his chopsticks, his father not only refused to persuade him, but continued to say : "Wait there when you finish eating, you wash the dishes after we finish eating."
Qi Xiangdong: "..."
His dad must have taken the wrong medicine today!
Qi Xiangdong picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, he had to wash the bowl, it would be a loss if he didn't eat enough.
Although Qi Xiangdong has been spoiled by his father all these years, his father insists that he will never say anything at home. Although he is a little arrogant in front of Qi Xiangnan, he is still quite afraid that his father will get angry.
Qi Xiangnan, who was sitting on the other side, ate obediently on the surface. Looking at his father who suddenly turned to him today and Qi Xiangdong who was deflated, he couldn't help being a little happy in his heart.
After eating, Qi Xiangdong tidied up the dishes with his head drooping, Qi Sheng ignored him, and pulled his youngest son to his side, "It's a good thing that you can be admitted to Beijing Medical College, Dad said yesterday because he was angry when he saw your brothers fighting. I won't let you read it. I thought about it last night. You can see if you can still glue the admission notice today. If not, we will ask your teacher to help you to open a letter of introduction, and the county will also open one. The score will always be yours. Yes, if we bring the letter of introduction and household registration book, the school will not accept you!"
Qi Xiangnan was overjoyed and looked at his father to confirm: "Dad, you agree with me to go to college!"
Qi Sheng also laughed: "Of course, our family can produce a college student, but the envy of all villages and villages. Your father and I are not stupid, how could I not let you go to study."
After finishing speaking, he looked down again, and glared at the younger son: "You too, just because of my angry words at that time, you ran out sullenly. If you were hit by a car, let alone college, you can bear the aftereffects of your body." !"
Qi Xiangnan nodded again and again, happier than when he received the admission notice.
He felt that today was like a dream. In the dream, his father, who had always disliked him, suddenly started to favor him, and he thought of everything for his sake, so as not to let Qi Xiangdong bully him...
Qi Sheng looked at his youngest son who had been there all this time, feeling a little distressed.
