"You guys eat, I'll go out and take a look." Lu Chengcheng put down his chopsticks and walked towards the door.

The visitor is an old grandfather from the village. There are only three old grandfathers left in the village. One of them is Xu Guodong. He is eighty years old and very, very strong. He was still planting rice in the fields a few days ago.

He has four sons, but they are just like no one. One by one, they all shirk their responsibilities in taking care of his parents in their old age. Now they seldom visit them. Every time they call, they ask for money, as they are afraid that they will take care of their other sons and ignore them.

Everyone in the village called Grandpa Xu's sons ungrateful.

Grandpa Xu looked bitter and anxious: "Cheng Cheng, can I discuss something with you?"

Lu Chengcheng was still willing to help these elderly people: "Grandpa Xu, you say."

Grandpa Xu's eyes turned red. "Your grandma Xu is seriously ill. Can you use your car to take her to the hospital? I called my four sons, but none of them came. I have no choice."

Human life is at stake, so Lu Chengcheng immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll go get the car keys now."

Fang Yunpeng came out of the cafeteria: "Cheng Cheng, what's the matter?"

As Lu Chengcheng walked towards the office, he answered, "Grandma Xu is sick, and Grandpa Xu asked me to drive her to the hospital."

Fang Yunpeng asked: "Is it serious?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "It's serious. Even Grandpa Xu cried."

"Then I'll go with you." Fang Yunpeng returned to the cafeteria to eat the remaining half of the Yeerba, and then came out to meet Lu Chengcheng.

Lu Chengcheng took out the car keys, and Fang Yunpeng asked out of concern: "Can I drive?"

"You are not familiar with it, let me drive." Lu Chengcheng sat in the driver's seat, drove out, let Grandpa Xu and Fang Yunpeng get in the car at the gate, and drove all the way to the door of Grandpa Xu's house in the village.

After getting off the car, Lu Chengcheng said to Fang Yunpeng, "Go and call the village chief. He will be more willing to talk to you if you have anything to say."

"I understand." Fang Yunpeng went to the village chief's house immediately.

Lu Chengcheng and Grandpa Xu went into the house to help Grandma Xu out and sat her in the back seat. The village chief also rushed over at this time. Without saying a word, they all got in the car. Lu Chengcheng drove to the county hospital.

In the car, the village chief said to Grandpa Xu: "Give me your phone, I will call your four sons."

Grandpa Xu, with tears in his eyes, gave the phone to the village chief.

The village chief called his eldest son first and said, "Your mother is sick. We are taking her to the county hospital now. You should hurry over and meet us."

The eldest son and his family lived in the town. He earned some money from working and took 100,000 yuan from the old couple and bought a house in the town.

They bought a house in town about five or six years ago, but the old couple never lived there once. At most they would just eat a meal there and then leave.

The eldest son declined, saying, "I'm not feeling well and can't go out. You can call the other three sons." Then he hung up the phone.

The village chief couldn't help but get angry: "Who is this?"

Suppressing his anger, the village chief called his second son. The second daughter-in-law answered the phone: "Sister-in-law, Grandma Xu is sick. We are sending her to the county hospital. Can you come back and meet her?"

The second son became a son-in-law and was very resentful of his parents for giving money to his eldest brother to buy a house. He was very angry and had not been home for three years.

The second daughter-in-law directly refused to answer the call: "We are very busy and have no time to go back. We are relieved that you are looking after mom and dad." After that, she hung up the phone.

They run a small supermarket in the county town. They do a lot of work but don't make much money.

Grandpa Xu wiped his tears and said, "What's the point of having so many sons? When death comes, it's better to have an outsider."

The village chief consoled him for a few words, then said, "Uncle, don't be sad. I'll call the third and fourth brothers."

Grandpa Xu helped Grandma Xu sit down. He lowered his head slightly, and his tears fell on Grandma Xu's clothes, but soon disappeared.

Grandma Xu patted Grandpa Xu's arm and tried hard to suppress her sadness: "It's okay."

The village chief called his third son's cell phone, but no one answered. He called five times in a row and still no one answered: "He probably didn't hear it." But everyone knew that he was deliberately not answering.

The village chief didn't say anything and called his fourth son, who answered the phone: "Dad, is there anything else?"

The village chief said, "Old Four, your mother is sick. Cheng Cheng and I are taking her to the hospital. Can you guys meet us at the hospital?"

The fourth son paused and said: "Brother, I'm busy at the construction site and can't leave. Please call my eldest and second brothers and ask them to go." Then he hung up the phone again.

The old couple couldn't hold back any longer and kept wiping away their tears.

The village chief stared at his cell phone, furious. What unfilial sons! Four unfilial sons.

Lu Chengcheng and Fang Yunpeng looked at each other. None of their four sons showed up. It was really hard to say what to say.

Lu Chengcheng comforted her: "Go to the hospital first, it's okay. If you don't have money, I'll help you pay for it."

Grandpa Xu quickly said, "No need, Chengcheng, I brought money."

Lu Chengcheng said: "Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, you should be more open-minded. Even if your son is not doing well, you still have your grandchildren. They will definitely not ignore you."

The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, I will call your grandchildren. They are all grown up and capable of taking care of you."

As he said this, he called Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu’s eldest granddaughter.

The eldest granddaughter is called Xu Ye. People in the village like to call her Ye Zi. Xu Ye quickly answered the phone: "Uncle, is there something wrong with my grandparents?"

The village chief said, "Yes, your grandma is sick, can you come back to see her?"

Xu Ye's voice was filled with worry: "Is it serious?"

The village chief replied: "It's quite serious. He's already on his way to the county hospital."

"Okay, I got it. I'll take a leave and come back right away. I can take the high-speed rail and arrive in more than an hour." Xu Ye worked in the city, so he took a leave immediately and rushed back.

While on the road, Xu Ye sent a message in the family group: "Grandma is sick, everyone who is free should go to the county hospital to see her."

Many younger generations responded to the message, saying that they would go to the hospital to see grandma soon.

Xu Ye knew their family well. Fortunately, the younger generations in the family had been educated and were not as conservative as the older generation, so they were more willing to visit the elderly.

At the same time, Lu Chengcheng drove the car to the parking lot of the county hospital.

The village chief got out of the car and helped Grandma Xu down.

Fang Yunpeng went to register, and several people worked together to send Grandma Xu to the hospital. When the younger generation of the Xu family arrived at the hospital, all the tests on Grandma Xu had been completed and they were now waiting for the results.

Lu Chengcheng sat on the lounge chair in the hospital and took out his cell phone. It was already eight o'clock.

Fang Yunpeng asked: "Are you hungry?"

Lu Chengcheng nodded, missing Li Yun's good cooking skills: "I only ate one Yeerba."

Fang Yunpeng smiled and said, "Miss Li left some Yeerba for you. You can go back and steam it and eat it later."

Lu Chengcheng said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
