Li Chu thought again of the Uncle Lin he saw when Jia Yuan gave birth that day, and his heart sank involuntarily.
Just by looking at his face, he could easily tell that Master Lin was at the end of his life.
Uncle Lin was injured during the Anti-Japanese War, which damaged his vitality. He is still alive now because of the good care he received later.
No matter how good the conditioning is, the road to the end is still unavoidable.
At that time, Uncle Lin also noticed that Li Chu had been looking at him. He knew his nephew's medical skills well and took the initiative to find him.
"Xiao Chu, can you see it?"
"Yes, uncle, why didn't you tell me?"
"Hey, I know my body well, so you don't have to waste your efforts. It was you who pulled me back last time, allowing me, an old man, to continue to survive. This time, no one can help me. But I can see my home.
The fourth generation has been born, so I am satisfied.”
Uncle Lin was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and patted Li Chu's hand, then gestured with his chin to a few people standing not far away: "They don't know about this yet, don't tell them.
, my body can still hold on for a while, at least half a month. During this time, you should stop running to me, lest they see anything."
Li Chu did not refute, but nodded silently. This should be the old man's last wish. He hoped that he could spend the last time with his children.
As a doctor or as his nephew, Li Chu felt that he should respect the old man's choice.
But why was he so worried?
"Xiao Chu, what are you thinking about?" Wang Ziwen called Li Chu, who was lost in memories.
"Oh, brother-in-law, it's nothing, I just thought of Uncle Lin."
Wang Ziwen saw the lingering sadness on his brother-in-law's face, and asked, "What's wrong? Your uncle's body..."
"Yeah" Li Chu nodded and shook his head: "I can't do anything anymore."
After being silent for a while, Wang Ziwen picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and then said: "Don't think too much, Mr. Lin is almost 90 years old. Even if he is gone, it will be a joy to mourn."
"Alas" Li Chu sighed: "It's not a question of whether I am happy or not. Along the way, apart from you and my sister, the person who has helped me the most is Uncle Lin. It can even be said that at work, every step of my life
His shadow is present every step of the way, but..."
Wang Ziwen didn't know how to comfort his brother-in-law. Just like when his master passed away, he and Li Qin were also at a loss and could only watch him kneeling in front of the mourning hall alone for three days and three nights.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm fine." Li Chu smiled at his brother-in-law.
"I didn't mention it just now, but there are dozens of bottles and cans in the yard in Shichahai where I bought them." He took the initiative to change the topic, not wanting to think about that matter anymore.
"Bottles and cans? Are you talking about old objects?"
"Yes, there are many young and old. Brother-in-law, are you interested in those?"
"Me? I don't know those things. Besides, those things aren't worth much now, are they?"
…
Li Chu didn't even know what to say. Now people seem to have a fixed mindset, that is, whether something is good or not is measured by whether it is valuable or not.
"Brother-in-law, those things are cultural relics, history, and a microcosm of the past. They cannot be measured by price alone."
"I don't understand that." Wang Ziwen waved his hand indifferently: "I'm just a rough guy. Those things are neither money nor food. I won't even give them to me."
"Brother-in-law, those old objects can allow future generations to study the history of that time in depth."
"Studying history? Generations of people continue to study history. There seems to even be a history major in universities. Tell me, what do people learn from history?"
"That's a lot..."
"More?" Before Li Chu could finish what he said, Wang Ziwen interrupted: "I forgot which old leader said this. He said that these famous scholars at home and abroad study history, but in fact
What exactly have people learned from history?
The only thing people learn from history is that they learn nothing. This is true from generation to generation."
"Brother-in-law, which leader said this?"
"Which leader do you care about? I forgot about it. It seems someone said it when we first entered Sijiu City."
My brother-in-law was one of the first people to enter Sijiu City after the peaceful liberation. He was still a company commander at that time.
Then he stayed here, and later left the army to work locally, and never left this city again.
The two of them just sat in the yard, drinking tea and chatting, while teasing the dogs lying under their feet, until Li Qin and the other five came back from the family.
They all lay on the bed, and Ding Qiunan kept talking about Jiayuan's two children.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't still want a child now, do you?"
"Go, what are you talking about? I'm going to be a grandma, how can I still want to have children?"
She said this, but the flash of melancholy on her face was still clearly visible to Li Chu.
He had been scratching his head as to why he couldn't get pregnant again.
The two of them have always been in very good health and have never taken any measures. But since Wen Hui and Wen Xuan, there has been no movement. This has become a worry for Ding Qiunan.
Li Chu smiled and patted the back of his wife who was lying on his chest.
"Don't you feel happy?"
"How is that possible?"
"Then why do you always have to worry about this child?"
"I just feel a little sorry for you. You love children so much, but I haven't been able to give you more children."
"We have children, but it's not like we don't have children. I'm very satisfied. Now I can just wait for my grandchildren, but..."
"But what?" Ding Qiunan raised her head and looked at her husband and asked.
"You can only have one child now, what should you do if Qiaoyun also wants to take care of the child?"
"Well……"
This is really a problem.
"No, no, you almost got me in. Qiaoyun is so busy that he's not at home all day long. He doesn't have time to look after the child. I'll let her do it when she's at home."
Li Chu smiled secretly and didn't say anything. I'm afraid you won't have such thoughts by then. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear to let your child leave you for a day.
Not talking does not mean that there are no movements. With a skillful turn over, the small exercises that should be performed every day and make people feel physically and mentally happy before going to bed have begun.
Several dogs under the eaves outside the main house quickly lowered their ears that were still upright in a very uniform manner.
A soul-stirring song lingers in the bedroom for a long time.
