Good Pregnancy Ninety-Nine

Chapter 74
Chapter 74
In the evening, after finishing his work on the chicken farm and having dinner, Lu Congjun took a dozen or so eggs and went to the old doctor's house to visit Beishui.

Chunmei wanted to go with her at first, but her mother-in-law Guo Lanying said that the road was not easy to walk in the dark and it was too unsafe for her to have a child, so she had to stay at home and let Lu Congjun go alone.

With a flashlight, Lu Congjun walked along the path in the village towards the big banyan tree. The old man's house was right next to the big banyan tree.

When Lu Congjun passed the big banyan tree, a few people in the village who had dinner and had nothing to do sat under the tree to enjoy the shade.Lu Congjun greeted them, and seeing that he was holding an egg in his hand, those people asked him if he was going to see Beishui?

Lu Congjun said yes.

After chatting briefly with those people, Lu Congjun came to the door of the old doctor's house.This is an old-fashioned house with mud walls and tiles, old wooden doors, and narrow windows. Because the windows are too small for this kind of house, the lighting is not good, and the room is usually still dark in the daytime.

The two doors were ajar, and Lu Congjun stood outside the door and heard the two father and son talking indistinctly in the room.He stood outside the door and called Bei Shui's name, then pushed open the half-covered door and walked in.

In the room, the old man heard Lu Congjun's voice and walked out of the room quickly.He saw Lu Congjun carrying a bag of eggs in his hand, and he also had a worried look on his face, and the old man's eyes were blurred—from morning until now, he was just carrying things to visit his home. water.And other people...Although there are some people who came to visit, most of them came empty-handed, chatted a few words, said some polite words such as being good at giving birth, and then left.

The old man, Lieutenant General Lu Congjun, welcomed him into the room and said, "Congjun, are you here to see the north?"

Lu Congjun nodded and asked, "Where is Beishui, how is he doing?"

The old man wiped his tears secretly, pointed to the slightly bright room and said, "I can't go, I'm lying in it."

Lu Congjun handed the egg to the old doctor, then walked into the room with his own head.

The room was dark and damp, and a strong herbal smell hit his nostrils the moment he stepped into the room.He shrugged his nose, feeling that the smell was really bad.

"Congjun, is Congjun here?" On a simple wooden bed, Bei was lying horizontally on the bed and struggling to sit up.

Lu Congjun saw a dim kerosene lamp lit in front of the bed, and under the lamp a dejected and desperate face was looking towards him.

"Beishui, don't get up, just lie down!" Lu Congjun took two quick steps, and hurried forward to hold him down.

"Why don't you turn on the light? There is no power outage in the village today?" Lu Congjun asked puzzledly, looking at the jumping kerosene lamp.

Then the old man who followed in sighed helplessly, and said: "The oil lamp is to save electricity. He looks like this and can't leave people at night, so the light has to be kept on..." After finishing speaking, he fell into silence.

Bei Shui listened to his father's words, lowered his head and also did not speak.His unglamorous eyes were just as dim as the kerosene lamp.

Lu Congjun didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bei Shui was about the same age as him, but lived a very different life.When Bei Shui was young, his mother had a strange disease. In order to treat this disease, his father bought medical books and taught himself Chinese medicine.Although Beishui's mother still left later, his father was really a little successful in learning. The villagers usually have minor ailments such as headaches and brain fever, and he can usually cure them.

Also because of this, the villagers did not know when they gave him a nickname, Lao Langzhong.

"Beishui, how are you feeling now?" Lu Congjun stood by the bed, looked at the empty place in Beishui even though it was covered with a thin quilt, and felt uncomfortable.

Beishui's eyes were dry, and he said with a wry smile: "The pain is not so painful, but in the future... hey, what else should I talk about in the future." He smiled self-deprecatingly, his voice filled with endless sadness and despair.

Hearing his words, the old Langzhong couldn't control his tears. He was tearful and whimpered and shouted: "Beishui, don't say such things again. If you don't live, then what else is there for Dad to live?" Meaning! You are the only son I have, and with you here, Dad will be alive!"

Seeing his old father crying, Beishui couldn't bear to cry himself.The pain in his body now is not as good as the pain in his heart, he lost a leg, this person is neither human nor ghost, how can he live in the future?

……

Lu Congjun watched the father and son crying in each other's arms, and felt as if a heavy stone was blocked in his heart, it was extremely uncomfortable!He silently wiped away his tears, and after a while he said: "Beishui, don't think so much now, as long as you have a life, you can always live. I saw a lot of people when I was a soldier." Comrades like you are disabled due to various injuries, but they all live a wonderful life. So, you must have confidence!"

Beishui raised his head from his old father's arms, looked at Lu Congjun with tears in his eyes, and said, "Congjun, I know you're saying this to comfort me, but my situation is no worse than that of your comrades. Support, and I..." He glanced at the old doctor standing beside him, and couldn't continue.

The old man naturally understood the meaning of his son's words. The son was born in this poor and powerless family. Now that he is old, what can he do for his son?

At this point in the conversation, both father and son seemed very pessimistic about their future life.

Lu Congjun looked up at the room. It was dark, cramped, and damp. The furniture and decorations in the room were all old and dilapidated, and there was a sense of dilapidation everywhere.

He looked at Beishui's drooping head and thought for a while, then said, "When you get better, come and work in my chicken farm. It's okay to feed me a chicken or something."

When Bei Shui heard this, his heavy head was slowly lifted from the bed, and he finally saw a gleam of light in his desperate eyes, and he said in disbelief, "Don't you dislike my disability?"

Next to him, the eyes of the old Langzhong's dry script also shone with surprise. He looked at his son without blinking, and he saw the renewed hope in his son's eyes.

"If I dislike it, will I still ask you to go? Besides, you are only missing a leg, so it is not difficult for you to feed a chicken." Lu Congjun smiled, and he was very pleased that Beishui had not completely lost his motivation for life. .

"Great! Thank you, Congjun. Without you, this family really doesn't know what would happen?" The old man wept with joy, so moved that he didn't know what to say.He held Lu Congjun's hand tightly and kept saying thank him.

Lu Congjun said no thanks, then said some comforting words, and then got up to go back.

The old doctor sent him to the door, and then said to him very embarrassedly: "Congjun, I'm sorry about your wife Chunmei last time, I didn't see it properly with my limited medical skills..." He said guiltily He turned his head, not daring to look into Lu Congjun's eyes.

Lu Congjun laughed loudly, he knew that what the old doctor was talking about was about taking Chunmei's pulse last time.He said to the old doctor: "You still take this matter to heart. In the end, I have to thank you. Maybe your medicine is useful to conceive."

Seeing that Lu Congjun didn't blame him, the old man felt relieved.However, he also has self-knowledge. It is impossible for someone to be pregnant because of his medicine. He has only taken the medicine for a few days?People who joined the army said that it was just a step for him to step down.
