Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Wangcai was beaten and did not dare to fight back. He was spanked twice on his buttocks. There was nothing he could do about it, it was his grandma who beat him.

The three sisters were still kneeling on the ground, but they were not crying anymore. They were still laughing. The youngest one, Xiaohuan, was giggling so hard that bubbles of snot appeared one after another. They were all laughing at their eldest brother's embarrassing behavior.

Zhang Xiuzhi supported her grandmother and asked her to scold Zeng Wangcai who was drooping his head: "Why are you howling? Grandma is not dead yet. You will howl when grandma dies. Look at you. Your knees are bruised from knocking your head..."

That’s right, grandma beat and scolded Zeng Wangcai not because he cried wrongly, but because he had just kneeled down and hit his knee, leaving one side bruised and the other side bleeding from hitting a stone.

Zeng Wangcai glared at his three sisters speechlessly: "You guys are so heartless laughing, if it weren't for you, would my brother have misunderstood me?"

He didn't let his three sisters get up because they did make mistakes and when they make mistakes they should be educated and not spoiled.

The case of grandma's diarrhea was solved, and the cause was the three little girls.

It turned out that Zhang Xiuzhi and the other two were going to the city yesterday, so Zhang Xiuzhi left some braised dishes at home, including braised toad and sparrow.

As a result, the three girls were greedy and took too much and hid the food they didn't finish. As a result, it was too hot and their grandmother found it.

Grandma was a person who was used to being frugal. When she saw that the food was not very bad, she was reluctant to throw it away. So she didn't eat dinner that night and hid in the house, eating the unfinished food of the three girls as dinner.

The food went bad after eating it, and soon the stool became loose, which made my grandma have terrible diarrhea. In her own words: I was almost pickled in the toilet.

At first, grandma didn't tell the truth because she was worried that her daughter-in-law would beat the three girls, so she didn't know when Zeng You left in anger.

After Li Baotian treated grandma with a folk remedy, she felt a little better. Li Baotian came again early in the morning and examined grandma again. He told Zeng Youhuo that it would be better to go to the hospital. Grandma refused, which is why Zeng Youhuo got angry and went to find Zeng Wangcai.

Ma Ping was really good. She solved the case of grandma's diarrhea and found out the three culprits. So there was the scene where the three girls cried in the yard after being beaten.

When Zeng Wangcai saw this scene, he naturally thought that his grandmother had an accident, so like Xiaobao, his buttocks were "harmed".

He could tell from the way his grandmother jumped up and hit someone just now that her problem was not serious, so he felt relieved.

Li Baotian, who did not leave, said with a smile: "Wangcai, let's take the old lady to the hospital. My ability is limited. Although the old lady is much stronger, she is still weak."

"Thank you, Uncle Baotian!" Zeng Wangcai thanked him sincerely, "I have medicine, Uncle Baotian, please don't leave. Please come with me to the hospital later."

"It's not a problem. It's not a big deal!" Li Baotian agreed readily.

Zeng Laosan was also there and told Zeng Wangcai to go without worry.

The reason why Zeng Wangcai wanted Li Baotian to follow him was not only because he was really worried that his grandmother might have an accident on the road, but also because he wanted to give Li Baotian some medicine and examine him to see if he was trustworthy. If he was trustworthy, he would give him more medicine.

He thought that after all, he was not often at his hometown, and whenever his family had a headache or fever, they had to rely on Li Baotian, just like this time.

Zeng Wangcai went into the house, opened a packet of montmorillonite powder, mixed it up according to the dosage in the instructions, came out and gave it to Zhang Xiuzhi, asking her to take care of her grandmother and drink it.

"What is this?" asked grandma.

"Medicine, I won't have diarrhea after drinking." Zeng Wangcai replied, "After you finish drinking, come with me to the hospital."

"You'll be fine after taking the medicine. Why go to the hospital? It's better to buy some food instead of wasting that money." Grandma still insisted.

This is the rural people’s point of view. If you get sick, you just have to bear it. If you can’t bear it, you have to take medicine. If you can take medicine, you don’t go to the hospital. If you can get an injection, you don’t have to be hospitalized. If you can’t bear it anymore, you don’t have to be rescued. You just return to your roots and wait to die.

The sons and grandchildren cried, some really cried, some fake, but it was just like that. After three days, they were buried and that was the end of their lives.

There is no such thing as spending tens of millions of dollars to stay in the ICU for several years.

Zeng Wangcai did not argue with his grandmother. He watched her drink the medicine, then went to the door to look for the car. Although the stone road in front of his second uncle's house was uneven, it was relatively wide because ox carts had to drive it, so there was no problem for the GAZ-69 to come up. At that time, he asked Goudan to bring the driver to drive the car up, but no one was seen for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Zeng Lao San followed Zeng Wangcai's gaze and saw no one. "Is your second uncle back? Or did you bring someone back with you?"

"No, I was looking for a car. Hey, here it comes. The driver drives so slowly!" In Zeng Wangcai's sight, a GAZ-69 appeared slowly.

When Zeng Laosan saw the car, his mouth opened wide enough to put a goose egg in it.

Who is the most knowledgeable among the villagers?

It was undoubtedly Zeng Laosan. He often went to Maihe Commune for meetings and had seen many cars, including the GAZ-69.

But because of this, he knew that this car was not something that ordinary people could ride in. Even Secretary Wang of Maihe Commune was not qualified to own one. In his opinion, at least department-level cadres were qualified to use it as a vehicle.

“Is this the car you got back?”

"Oh, yes. I happened to know a leader there. He knew my grandma was sick and I was in a hurry, so he asked the driver to take me back."

"Great, Wangcai, you've made it. Secretary Wang doesn't even get this kind of treatment..."

Zeng Wangcai said politely, seeing that the driver was still moving slowly, but he was no longer in a hurry and there was no need for him to urge him.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zeng Wangcai turned to Ma Ping and said, "Second Aunt, let's pack up and go to the Union Hospital in the city. Let's check everyone in our family to see if there is anything wrong."

It would be more reassuring to have your family members have a physical examination.

When Xiaohuan heard about going to the hospital, her face was filled with fear and she burst into tears: "I, I don't want to go to the hospital, I don't... the injection hurts..."

They had a friend who fell ill and went to the hospital at the beginning of this year. After he came back, he described to them the horror of going to the hospital, which left an indelible impression on Xiaohuan's mind.

Ma Ping didn't want to spend that money in vain, and most importantly, she didn't want to spend Zeng Wangcai's money.

Zeng Wangcai saw the second aunt's concerns: "Don't worry about the money. We have money now. Xiaohu and Xiaobao helped us make a lot of money. We just bought two bicycles yesterday..."

"puff!"

Grandma didn't swallow the last sip of medicine and spit out: "What did you buy? Two bicycles? You're a spendthrift. It would be great to keep them for your wedding. You have to buy something for Xiuzhi, right?"

"Grandma, there's no rush to get married. Besides, one of the cars is bought for Xiuzhi!" Zeng Wangcai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s okay then!” Grandma drank the last few drops of medicine in the cup, turned her head and said to Zhang Xiuzhi, “Look, grandma said Wangcai is not what you said he doesn’t know how to live. He is very caring. He bought you a bicycle before you got married. You two should get married quickly. Next year, grandma will be able to hold her great-grandson…”

People in the city and the village are urging her to get married. Zhang Xiuzhi can't bear it anymore.

Fortunately, a car finally drove up at this time, interrupting Zhang Xiuzhi's embarrassment.

"Second Aunt, Xiaohuan and the others really need to be checked. I think they have worms in their stomachs..." Zeng Wangcai continued to persuade.

He really wasn't trying to scare Ma Ping and the three girls. Besides, Ma Ping had seen the village children killing insects and knew about this matter.

"Our house has always been clean, there can't be such a thing, right?" Ma Ping was shaken.

If this had not happened, Zeng Wangcai would have thought so too, but now he thinks it is better to check it out.

When the three girls heard that there was a car to take, they were excited and conflicted, but in the end, the desire to take the car overcame their fear of the hospital.

A few minutes later, Zeng Wangcai sat in the back seat of the GAZ-69 with no hope in life. On his left was his grandmother, and on his right were his three sisters stacked on top of each other...
