The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

If Zhong Yunxing had not been so frank with her, perhaps Darong would still not understand her own feelings.

When he really asked, Darong realized that she had already gotten used to having him by her side all the time.

"Mom, I'm in trouble, please come to the hospital with me!"

Darong's mother was working at the company, and the third child rushed into the factory in a hurry, followed by a security officer.

"What's wrong? What happened? Tell me quickly."

Darong's mother was so frightened by the third brother's words that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly threw away the tools in her hand and shouted at him to speak.

"I broke my grandma's leg and she's in the hospital, unable to move."

The third brother pulled Darong's mother and ran out of the factory, panting.

"Tell the monitor for me."

While running outside with the third child, Darong's mother shouted to the security officer behind her.

The security officer originally came after the third child because he rushed into the door of the message room. When he saw that it was Darong's mother's son and that he had no ill intentions, he waved at Darong while panting, signaling her to hurry up and follow the child.

When Darong's mother arrived at the hospital, grandma was lying on a flat bed in the hall, frowning and groaning in pain.

"mom……"

Darong's mother called out "Mom" and was somewhat flustered. After a moment of blankness, she immediately asked the third child to find Darong's father and ask him to bring the money over.

Darong's mother started taking grandma to the hospital to see doctors and get checked out, running back and forth all the time.

The southern suburbs are not a big place, and there are only three hospitals in the town. Although the one we are in now is the largest one, compared with the current medical scale, it is basically equivalent to a small second-level hospital.

After going around in circles, grandma was finally pushed into a simple X-ray room.

"How are Darong's mother and grandmother?"

While grandma was taking the picture, Darong's father had already arrived at the hospital with the third child.

"The doctor said it's probably a broken pelvis. I don't know if this hospital can do an X-ray. I just went in."

"Don't worry, wait until the film comes out and ask the doctor."

Originally, the third child took his grandmother to the hospital to get medicine for her leg pain. However, when the silly child arrived at the hospital entrance, he forgot about his grandmother in the back seat. He got out of the car with one leg and kicked his grandmother out of the back seat.

My grandma's bones were already degenerating due to her age, and the fall completely knocked her to the ground, unable to move.

The third child was also scared at the time. After all, he was only seventeen and was still a little panicked when encountering things. After hurriedly helping grandma onto the flatbed cart, he hurried to the factory to find Darong's mother.

Grandma’s examination results were not very good. There were two cracks on her pelvis, and her left leg, which had always been painful, was completely unable to move.

After staying in the hospital for more than ten days, he was finally able to be taken home to continue his care.

"After all, our mother's injury was caused by the third child. If you bring her back, let her recover here first. You can come back and pick her up after she recovers."

On the day grandma was discharged from the hospital, both uncles came to Darong's house. After hearing what Darong's mother said, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, both of them came here today on the orders of their daughter-in-law. First, they had to make it clear that their family would not bear the hospital expenses, and second, they had to arrange for the injured grandmother not to come to their home.

When the two uncles didn't know how to start the conversation, Darong's mother came to their rescue.

In fact, my grandmother's life was very sad. When she was young, she was deceived by a matchmaker and married to a short, ugly landlord's son. In her middle age, she was PD due to historical reasons and became a widow. In her old age, she raised two "filial sons".

For grandma, perhaps the greatest luck in her life was to adopt this kind-hearted mother, Da Rong.

During the time that grandma was recuperating at Darong's home, Darong finally welcomed the most important day of her life.

"Third sister-in-law, congratulations, our Darong is so beautiful."

"Yes, yes, the most beautiful flower in our field has been picked by someone this time."

Amid the joking conversations among a group of relatives and friends, Darong's wedding is approaching.

In the southern suburbs, weddings are divided into separate days for the groom and the bride. The wedding date is the groom's day, and the day before is the bride's day.

The bride's relatives, friends and neighbors will gather at her home on her wedding day to add popularity and joy to the family.

When the man's wedding day comes, only a few of the woman's close relatives will come to send the girl to the man's house as the bride's family.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything, but you're really generous of me to let our Darong marry into the family before she even got a share of the house."

Darong's father has five brothers, and the person who was speaking was the youngest brother's wife, Darong's aunt.

"The family is honest and the child is a good one. Our own children have the same conditions, right?"

Darong's mother actually didn't like the old aunt's provocative way of speaking, but since this was her family's happy event, she naturally couldn't show anything.

"That's not a big deal. How many people can live happily with their mother-in-law? I just speak my mind. Please don't take it too seriously, sister-in-law."

This old lady is actually quite annoying. She can embarrass others without any scruples just by saying "speak frankly".

"Hey, I don't have the good fortune that old aunt has. My parents have a house and my mother-in-law's family has land. We can live in any spacious place."

After listening for a while, Darong walked happily to the old aunt and handed her a piece of candy.

The reason why Darong said this was because when her aunt came into the family, Darong's grandmother was already seriously ill and dying. Even so, she still carried the old lady into the shack on the night she came into the family.

The next day, Darong's uncle went to the old house to see his grandmother, only to find out that the old lady had stayed in the shack all night.

In fact, Grandma Darong died the day after Grandpa took her home. Even if the old aunt had held on for one more day, she would not have been criticized for so many years.

After hearing what Darong said, the old aunt forced a smile and stopped talking.

Wedding banquets in the southern suburbs are usually held in the morning. On the bride’s wedding day, Darong’s family also invited a chef to set up a buffet in the dormitory at noon.

Darong's father was the captain of the team and was a very easy-going person. Many colleagues who had not received the notice came on their own initiative. The banquet lasted until after three in the afternoon.

After seeing off the guests and relatives, the fourth brother and the third brother were still cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches in and outside the yard. They counted them and returned them to the neighbors one by one.

Darong's mother and Darong began to check the items they would need tomorrow.

"Mom, look!"

Darong pulled out an envelope from a pile of gifts and dowry, and inside it was a whole stack of ten-yuan RMB notes.
