When I got home that afternoon, I went to my father-in-law's house to pick up Xiaohai.Xiaohai was very happy to see me come to pick him up.As we walked all the way, he asked me: "Father, you came to pick me up, are you going to go on a long trip with Grandpa Fu again?" I patted his little head and said, "Little devil, I came to pick you up to go on a long trip. Ah?" "Isn't it? Every time. You and Grandpa Fu are like a couple..." "Ah?" I was very surprised: "Do you know what a couple is? Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Hai said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't talk nonsense. Many people in the village said so. I also saw you two laughing at Yangsi..." There is really nothing to do with this child.It seems that Uncle Fu and I are indeed a little too revealing...

Xiao Hai still followed the words just now and did not relax: "Father, you really tell me, where are you going tomorrow?"

"Your grandpa and I went to Huhai to collect medicine for your grandpa."

"Is my grandpa sick?"

"Yeah! Don't you see that your grandpa often coughs?"

"I saw blood streaks in the sputum coughed up by my grandfather. What kind of disease is that? Is it serious?"

"It's called blood tuberculosis. If it's not cured in time, your grandfather will die in a year at most. Do you understand?"

"Where is the lake and sea? Should I go to the sea? It's very big... Dad, I really want to go to the sea too!"

"The place we are going to tomorrow is not the sea, but a very tall and very big rocky mountain. It is tens of miles away from us. It just has such a nice name. Think about it, on our Xuefeng mountain, what is it?" Will there be an ocean...?"

Xiao Hai said naively; "I thought so too. But the person who came up with this name is too incredible... how did he come up with it..."

"Father, do you really have any relationship with Grandpa Fu? Why do so many people in the village say that?"

"What did you say about us?"

"Say you two are old Wu Liangfu and the other is young Wu Liangfu. Old Wu Liangfu married young Wu Liangfu..."

"These gossips! They love talking nonsense."

"Father, this word will reach mother's ears. Let me see what you will do! People say, what do you call... what... homosexuality... Father, what is this homosexuality?" Xiaohai asked more and more. It's getting weirder.

I lowered my face and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You are gay or not. It has nothing to do with those people!"

Xiao Hai was silent for a while, then raised his face and asked, "Father, where did grandma go? I haven't seen her back for a long time! People say that my grandma married someone else and won't come back. I also told me I got into a fight with my grandma...my grandma didn't marry, right? My grandma married my grandpa, so she can't marry anyone else...she will come back...isn't she? Daddy..." This question can be asked Got to my sore spot.How can I tell my child?If I tell the truth, what impact will it have on my child?The child seemed to understand something in his heart, but he tried his best to know everything.If you let him know all these messy things in the adult world too early, what will he think of us adults who listen to it? ... If I don't tell him the truth about these things, I will obviously deceive the child, and he will peck at himself every day, so he will naturally come up with something to say.So I simply told him the truth: "Your grandma is really married. She is not coming back. Maybe she will come back to see you in the future... Maybe that's it..." "What about my grandpa? She is not married Is it my grandpa? How could she not want my grandpa? How could she not want us...?" Xiao Hai cried as he spoke.

I stopped, reached out and stroked Xiao Hai's head, wiped away his tears, comforted him and said, "Xiao Hai, don't cry? You are a man, and you will be a man in the future. Men don't cry easily, do you understand?" ?” Xiaohai nodded and said, “Understood. I read this sentence in my textbook.” “That’s right. Your grandma and grandpa no longer have feelings for each other, so they divorced. Your grandma is going to find her own Your grandpa doesn’t want to drag her down. Your grandpa is a real man and dares to take responsibility. When you grow up, you have to live like a man, don’t be that kind of wretched little man, you know?” Xiao Hai said : "Father, what about you? Will you divorce my mother in the future?"

"Little fool, talk nonsense. Your mother and I are on good terms, why are you getting a divorce?..."

"My mother is away from home. What if you find another woman at home? If my mother finds out, will she divorce you?"

"It's nonsense! When did I find another woman at home? Even my son wronged me, how can I live?" After I finished speaking, I squatted on the ground, covered my face with my hands, and cried stand up.Xiao Hai panicked, walked up to me, shook my hand, and said sadly: "Father, I was wrong. I was just making an analogy, and I didn't say that you are really looking for a woman... just stop crying." Is it?" I cried and said: "Then you are not allowed to speak ill of me again from now on..." Xiaohai admitted his mistake and said, "I will never say it again..." I suddenly moved my hands away, picked up Xiaohai, and held him Holding his head high, he laughed and said, "This is my good son!"

Xiao Hai understood, laughed and said, "So you lied to me! You are bad, you are a bad father! Be careful, as soon as I find out that you are looking for another woman, I will tell mom..."

When I got home, it was still early, I boiled hot water, bathed my father, and told him that I was going out.He nodded and said, "Go to quarry Hanhua? I heard it's dangerous there, be careful!"

"Father, do you know the prescription?"

"I only heard that there are four kinds of medicines - Baijie, Shanchaihua, and Fuling. The main medicine is Shihanhua. The other three are easy, only Shihanhua is rare. This Shihanhua grows on a cliff in the lake, and that cliff is called 'ghost' Jianchou'. In our family, only your Uncle Fu’s family knows where this ghost Jianchou is. And only they can know the root medicine. Because among the three sons of my mother-in-law, my grandfather is not smart and did not learn. The third grandfather He is not yet an adult, only your uncle's grandfather has read the book again, and he is smart. The kiln merchant taught him all the prescriptions. Their family started their family based on this prescription at first. Shuishan, if your uncle can get this If the prescription is passed on to you, then it will be fine."

"Father, it's important to cure your illness first."

Because I have to leave tomorrow morning, I have to go up the mountain to sleep with Uncle Fu tonight.Tell Xiaohai about the family affairs, and I will go to the mountain again.

When we reached Uncle Fu's stone house on the mountain, it was already time to light the lamps.Uncle Fu has already prepared dinner, and he will eat as soon as I arrive.After eating, Uncle Fu boiled a pot of water in a large pot, put a large bag of herbs in it, boiled the water, poured it into a big pot, and waited until the hot steam of the potion cooled enough that people could go in without causing any damage. To the extent of being scalded, Uncle Fu took off Grandpa Seven, hugged him and sat on a small stool in Zhenli, while smoking the medicine vapor, Uncle Fu and I sat by Zhenli and slowly gave him medicine Get wet.After a while, Grandpa Seven was sweating profusely. When people could sit in the water, Uncle Fu pulled out the stool and let Grandpa Seven soak in the water. He was not carried out until the water was almost cold. After drying off, he put him back on the bed to sleep.This night, Seventh Grandpa will sleep soundly.

I have seen Uncle Fu make medicinal baths for Grandpa Seven, and Uncle Fu also told me the recipe for this medicinal bath.Uncle Fu said that Grandpa Seven relied on this kind of medicated bath to heal his wounds, and the medicines in it were all special medicines.Relying on the fumigation and washing of these herbs, Seventh Grandfather has been lying in bed for decades in good health, without any bone pain or sores on his body.After Uncle Fu taught me this prescription, I also bathed my father twice. The first time I smoked in such hot water, my father's joints all over his body hurt so much that he couldn't bear it, and he cried out for pain.Later, there was no such reaction, but the whole body felt comfortable.
