The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on

"I've got something to do, I'll be back." Holding Xia's mother, Xia Bai said with mixed feelings, "Mom, I miss you and Dad..."

Xia's mother who was hugged was a little flattered. Her son had never said such caring words to her since he was 12 years old.

After hugging Xia's mother for a while, Xia Song let go and said: "When I came back, I met Yao's mother. She said that my father was sick, how is it now?"

Xia's mother put two sticks of firewood in front of the stove and said, "It's nothing, that's it. It's not like you don't know that your dad smokes every day, and coughs to death when he catches a cold. It's really not a big deal."

Xia Bai was silent for a while: "I'm going to see Dad."

Mama Xia hummed.

The stove house where Xia Bai's family cooks is separate from the house where they live. The front and back of a yard are about ten meters away. Yes, when I heard Xia Bai outside the door, I heard weak but frequent coughing, even though the TV was so loud that it couldn't be blocked, Xia Bai's heart trembled when he heard it.

Xia Bai turned the lock on the door, pushed the door open, looked at Dad Xia who was sitting on the wooden bench beside the bed, and called out 'Dad' sadly.

Xia's father was wearing thick clothes, his body was tightly wrapped, his haggard face was constantly sweating, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. When he heard Xia Bai's voice, his first reaction was in disbelief just like Xia's mother.

After realizing that it was indeed Xia Bai who had returned, Dad Xia's face, which had been overly tainted by wind and frost, suddenly became stern. , coughing uncontrollably.

Xia Bai hurried over to help Dad Xia sit on the stool again. The stool was built by Dad Xia himself in order to save money when he was building the house. , not very beautiful, but very comfortable to look at and think about.

Helping Dad Xia to the stool, Xia Bai said, "I happened to be back for something, and when I arrived at the intersection, I saw Momma, she told me that you were sick, why didn't you lie down on the bed?"

Dad Xia gathered the overcoat that was draped over his shoulders: "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, I am in good health, but I caught a cold when it rained two days ago."

Xia Bai didn't make any excuses, but said, "Then I will accompany you to the hospital in the town for a checkup tomorrow."

Dad Xia immediately blew his beard and stared, his voice was loud, obviously anxious: "Check! Check what? I'm fine, no need to check! Besides, how much does it cost to check? Keep him, and when you get married, we will I can give you two more!"

"Okay, okay..." Xia Bai comforted: "Don't check, don't check, okay, I'll take you around the street tomorrow, okay?"

Dad Xia pulled his clothes and ignored Xia Bai.

Xia Bai was speechless, so he just pulled a stool and started watching the anti-Japanese drama with Xia's dad. Alas, it's not without reason that the anti-Japanese drama is so popular. A platform for shootout movies.

During this period, Dad Xia became addicted to cigarettes and wanted to smoke again. Xia Bai reached out and took his cigarettes directly, and even took the box with Dad Xia and put it away.

The cigarettes that had been with him for most of his life were robbed, and Xia's father immediately went crazy. He didn't point at Xia Bai and scolded, but kept reaching out and knocking on the table. Batch, what's the use of raising a son? He's old! He's not even allowed to smoke a cigarette!!"

Xia Bai stared at the TV series without squinting, pretending he didn't hear it.

Fortunately, Xia's mother cooked the meal quickly, and shouted in the stove, "The meal is ready, come and serve the meal."

Xia Bai ran to the stove house to serve dinner, leaving Dad Xia alone in the house to keep pushing.

Xia Bai ran to the kitchen, and Xia Ma had already scooped up the rice. Three bowls of sweet potato porridge, pink rice and sliced ​​cooked sweet potatoes, looked very sweet, Xia Ma took a look at Xia Bai and said : "Your father is not in good health and can't eat greasy food. When he is in good health, I will cook pig's feet for you."

Xia Bai threw himself into Xia's mother's arms: "Mom, you are so kind to me!"

Xia's mother, who was kicked on a stagger, wanted to get angry, but Xia Bai's words made her unable to get angry, so she had to chase him away in disgust: "Hurry up and get the food, don't stand in my way here."

Xia Bai gave a military salute to Xia's mother: "Obey, old lady!"

If it wasn't for walking so fast, Mama Xia's spatula would have been stuck on him.

Xia Bai returned to the house with sweet potato porridge, and put the rice on the table. Dad Xia glanced sideways, extremely disgusted: "Why is it porridge again..." Dad Xia turned his eyes to Xia Bai and asked: "Anyway You are back, let your mother fry two plates of meat."

Xia Bai arranged the bowls and chopsticks, put the stool down, sat at the dining table and hummed: "Mum just said, when you recover from illness, cook me pig's feet and eat your porridge." Huh, let him go when he comes back I asked my mother to copy two or three pieces of meat, let's pull it down, just want to improve the food by myself.

When Xia's mother came in, she brought a large bowl of cold salad with folded ears. Xia Bai's eyes lit up. This was his favorite cold dish since he was a child. Cai's small hoe ran all over the mountains and fields to dig the newly grown Juergen. The roots of Zheergen are very long, and most of them are buried in the soil. He remembers digging and digging once, and the road beside the field was dug down. Already...

…He still remembers the sound and content of the owner of the paddy field when he saw the road collapsed and the water in the field leaked, and he cursed wildly.

Xia Ma put the Zheergen basin she was carrying on the dining table, and said to Xia Bai, "You like Zheergen."

Xia Bai put one end of the rice bowl, put a chopstick into the bowl, and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard a few coughs.

Dad Xia babbled and squinted at Xia Bai: "I haven't eaten your old man yet, but your bowl is served quickly."

Xia Bai chuckled and said, "Dad, please go first." While talking, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the bowl in front of Xia's father and folded his ears.

Seeing Xia Bai, Dad Xia finally felt relieved. He wiped the cold sweat off his face with the towel he carried with him and said, "Okay, I have bad teeth, you can eat first."

Xia Bai, speechless...

Well, Dad, you can say what you say.

While eating, Xia Bai suddenly thought about Xia's father smoking just now, so he asked Xia's mother who was sitting next to him, "Mom, when I first came here, I saw Dad smoking again, why didn't you care?"

Xia's mother took a bite of the sweet potato and said calmly: "What do you do? It's not that you don't know your dad. If you don't let him smoke, you will kill him. Either throw the table or smash the stool. Give him the cigarette."

What my mother said, as a person who has been with Dad Xia for more than 20 or [-] years, Xia Bai feels the same way, but I can't ignore it, alas, just thinking about it will make me annoying.

The house that Dad Xia is building now is the result of Dad Xia and Mom working outside for more than ten years. Dad Xia was working outside when he was a young governor, and he only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year. Bring him lots of new things and take him to play.

When he was young, he really didn't have a deep impression of his father. Until he was 11 years old, Xia's mother asked him if he wanted to go to his father's place outside. Since he was a child, he didn't like studying. He hesitated and chose to go outside.

Then Xia's mother also went out to work together, and Xia Bai went to school at the place where she worked.

Xia Bai... felt regretful, no matter where he went, he had to study...

At that time, Xia’s father and Xia’s mother not only had to save money to live, but also to support him in his studies, and also had some deposits. The elderly in their 40s and 50s went out early and returned late every day. He still remembered that his mother used to cut vegetables for the land boss, I left at four o'clock, and only arrived at eight o'clock in the evening. It turned out that it was only 20 yuan a day.

Xia Bai repaired the house and laid the foundation for others. The boss was a bit stingy. He worked for the boss for ten years, starting with a salary of [-], and brought a large number of people out. God, Dad Xia's salary is only one hundred and fifty days.

Think about it, being able to send Xia Bai to college and then build such a three-story concrete house in his hometown is really sad and unknown.

Xia Bai's room is on the second floor. When the house was being built, Dad Xia asked the workers for a large room with good lighting, and it would be used as a wedding room in the future.

Xia Bai opened the door, there was not much in the room, there was only a big bed, which was bought with Xia's father and Xia's mother. Xia's mother once said that they would repair the house for him, and he would have to earn money for the decoration of the house later. The money was spent, but in the end I still bought him a bed and installed tiles.

he is really...

Xia Bai's eyes were sore, he bent over and fell on the bed, stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, tears slipped out from between his fingers.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I must take Dad to the hospital for a full-body examination.

The next day, Xia Bai woke up early. He put on his shoes and went downstairs, only to find that the kitchen had already been filled with smoke. Xia Bai went over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Xia's mother sitting behind Yantai, porridge puffing from the pot. Soak, it seems that it is almost cooked.

Xia's mother glanced at Xia Bai, and said to Xia Bai: "There is water in the kettle, I pour it out for washing myself, and after washing, pour some water for your dad to send."

Xia Bai hummed, and after packing himself and Dad Xia, after dinner, regardless of Dad Xia's objection, he hailed a car and directly stuffed Dad Xia into the van and took him to the town.

Backed by the main road, there is such a benefit.

All the way to the gate of the town hospital, Xia Bai opened the car door, but Xia's father was stuck in the van and couldn't get out of the car.

Xia's father held the back seat of the car with both hands and shouted angrily: "I won't get out of the car, I just won't get out of the car, you little bastard lied to you and me, why did you come here for an inspection when you clearly agreed to turn around!!"

Xia Bai bent down, hugged Dad Xia tightly to the car door like coaxing a child, and said, "It's okay, we don't check, we just go to see the doctor, and take a look inside."

Dad Xia was not really stupid, he ignored Xia Bai, no matter what Xia Bai said, he just remained unmoved.

In the end, Mama Xia had a solution. Her face turned cold, and she pinched Papa Xia's leg: "What's the trouble? Don't worry, kid!"

Xia's father stopped talking, hummed and chiseled, finally let go, and lingeringly got out of the van.

The van driver hissed, his car seat was almost crooked by the old man...

How much strength...
