Tie Kui Fanwai (143)
In a blink of an eye, another three years have passed.
News came from Tongcheng that Mrs. Tang had given birth to a son. Xiao shi laughed and said, "He gave birth to another son, this Tang shi is a good one." Tang shi has been married to Fang Hui for more than five years, and now they have two sons and a daughter. This shows how much Fang Hui loves her.
Zeng Chenfu laughed and said, "This is also her blessing." It is the greatest blessing for a woman to give birth. If you can't give birth, no matter how valuable your status is, you will still be criticized.
Speaking of which, Zeng Chenfu is also fertile, and has given birth to three sons and a daughter so far. In fact, if Ning Hai hadn't said that the Ning family's heirs were weak and wanted them to have more children, she would not have wanted to have her daughter Xinxin after she was born.
Mrs. Xiao hummed and said, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Tang is a good man. Over the years, he has prepared generous gifts for festivals and festivals."
Zeng Chenfu doesn't like Tang Shi, even after so many years. This is a matter of position, and has nothing to do with whether Tang is good or bad. She didn't want to talk about Tang's anymore, so she changed the subject immediately: "Mother, Brother Zhuang told me last year that he would go back to Tongcheng to visit Mrs. Ma. Do you want to let her go to Tongcheng this year?" At first, it was all because of Ning Hai's order She was the one who took care of Brother Zhuang. But after a long time, he treated the child sincerely.
Xiao said: "I have to ask your father about this. If he agrees, Brother Zhuang will return to Beijing this year."
Zeng Chenfu nodded. Ning Hai no longer interfered with the affairs of the Anyang Marquis Mansion. Ning Zhan is in charge of everything at home. But Brother Zhuang was raised by Ning Hai, so naturally he had to ask him.
Knowing that Brother Zhuang wanted to go to Tongcheng to visit Mrs. Ma and Niu Niu, Ning Hai readily agreed this time.
Calling Brother Zhuang, Ning Hai said to him: "When September comes, you can go to Tongcheng! But next spring, you have to go back to Beijing."
Brother Zhuang was overjoyed: "Okay." Since he came to Beijing, he has been thinking about Ma Shi and Niu Niu. He even offered to take Mrs. Ma and Niuniu back to live in Beijing in the second year after he came to Beijing. Unfortunately, Ning Hai rejected it.
Xiao smiled and said, "You're not afraid that Brother Zhuang will never come back." Ning Hai loves Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang the most. If Brother Zhuang doesn't come back, Ning Hai will definitely be sad.
Ning Hai snorted coldly and said, "If you stay in Tongcheng and don't want to come back because of Mrs. Ma's few words, then all these years will be in vain." How to do what is good for him, such a simple judgment is not in vain. His hard work is in vain .
"You are confident." With that said, Xiao Shi also hoped that Brother Zhuang would come back. This child is too sincere, she doesn't feel at ease staying in Tongcheng. In case Tang mistreats him, he can't take care of him so far away.
No matter how good Tang's performance has been over the past few years,
Xiao Shi didn't worry about her either. There are not many women like this who can have no grievances towards her husband's other children. Not to mention, Brother Zhuang is still the eldest son, and Bi Tang's children have higher status.
As for Ma Shi, Xiao Shi completely ignored her. As long as that virtue does not hold back, Amitabha, how could it be possible to protect Brother Zhuang.
Ning Hai said: "It's a bit of a loss, eating once is enough." In the past, he was busy from morning to night, even if he had limited time and energy to spend on Fang Hui. Therefore, he did not find Fang Hui's shortcomings. By the time you find out, it's too late to correct.
When Xiao heard this, he couldn't help thinking of Fang Jia. Xiao Shi has always disliked Fang Jia, he was lawless when he was a child, and later became even more eccentric. In the end, A Zhan, who was evil to harm her, turned up. However, these are all in the past. Xiao Shi and Ning Hai said: "He has been gone for so many years. No matter how bad it is, it will disappear, so don't worry about it anymore." Death is like a lamp going out, there is no need to think about it.
Ning Hai nodded and said: "Hongbo wrote to say that Dad was sick again some time ago, let's go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year!" In the past few years, he will go back once a year. However, they are all alone. This time, he wanted Xiao Shi to go with him. will be too long.
Xiao said: "If you come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival, then I will accompany you." It's fine to stay for ten days and a half months, but if she stays there for the New Year, she doesn't want to go.
"Well, I'll be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Ning Zhan knew that they were going to Anshan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he said, "Father, I don't have time to accompany you back to your hometown, let Brother Hang and Brother Zhuang go with you!"
"They're going to school! They've gone to Anshan, so don't delay their homework."
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Just make up for the homework that is left behind. Speaking of which, Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang have never been to Tiejia Village at their age!" It must be so tight. Proper relaxation is better for children.
In fact, the main reason is that Ning Zhan wants the two children to go out more and see the outside world, which is more beneficial to the growth of the children.
Thinking of Tie Hu's health getting worse and worse, Ning Hai nodded and said: "Okay, then I will take them with me."
By the end of July, Ning Hai and Xiao took their two grandchildren to Anshan. A group of people arrived at Tiejia Village two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As soon as he entered the door, Ning Hai smelled a strong smell of medicine. Looking at Chunni's red and swollen eye sockets, Ning Hai had a bad feeling in his heart. Without asking Chunni, Ning Hai strode towards Tiehu's room.
Looking at the comatose Tiehu, Ning Hai asked Chunni who followed him with red eyes: "What's wrong, Dad?"
Chunni burst into tears: "Dad suddenly fainted while eating in the morning. I invited the doctor in the town, and the doctor said, Dad..." She couldn't say the rest.
I also know that what the doctor said must not be good. Ning Hai asked with a cold face: "Did you go to the county to ask for a doctor?" The doctors in the town are not very skilled, and the doctors in the county are better.
Chunni is also in her sixties, but she will cry like a child: "I have already invited you, but I haven't come yet." Tie Hu's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and the doctor has already said that Tie Hu's The body can't last three years. It's just that she knew that Ning Hai was not in good health, so she kept hiding it for fear that he would be worried.
Ning Hai immediately called Ah Shao and asked him to find the best doctor in the county.
As a result, as soon as Ah Shao went out, he saw Hongbo come back in a hurry. Behind him was an old man with a gray beard.
This old man is the best doctor in the county. After he felt Tie Hu's pulse, he shook his head at everyone and said, "Prepare for the funeral!"
Hongbo held the doctor's hand, and said with red eyes: "Doctor Xu, is there nothing you can do?"
Dr. Xu shook his head and said, "Master Tie, it's not that you're old and can't be saved, but that your old man has reached his end. Even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't be saved."
Chunni's tears fell down like a flutter.
Birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be changed by people. The two doctors said so, Ning Hai could only accept this fact.
Tiehu woke up in the middle of the night.
When he woke up, Tiehu's face was very rosy, and he was also in good spirits.
When Ning Hai saw him, his eyes were not only filled with tears. He knew that Tiehu had come back to life.
Tiehu was not surprised to see Ning Hai, he took his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Kuizi, I can see you before I die, so I will die without regret."
Ning Hai couldn't hold back the tears anymore: "Father, don't say that. Father, you will live a long life."
Tiehu shook his head and said with a smile: "Kuizi, the most fortunate thing in my life is that I saved you back then. Since you came to our house, our family's life has become better and better. It is because of you that Dad can enjoy his old age in peace. "
"Father, this is what a son should do."
Tiehu wanted to reach out his hand to wipe Ning Hai's tears, but he couldn't lift his hand: "Don't be sad, it happens to people all the time. Kuizi, living to this age, I can enjoy all kinds of blessings. The only thing I can't worry about is now." It’s Hongbo.” Hongbo has been promoted to a level and is now a county magistrate, and Honglin has also been promoted to a level. However, if Tiehu left, he would have to observe filial piety for three years as the eldest grandson. As for Tie Honglin, because he is the youngest grandson, he doesn't need to guard for so long.
The officialdom has always been a radish and a pit. If there is no one in the family, it will be difficult to find real vacancies after observing the filial piety. But the Tie family has Ning Hai as a backer, so as long as he doesn't let go, there is nothing to worry about.
Ning Hai hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Hong Bo knelt by the bed, with tears and snot in his nose: "Grandfather..." Before his grandfather died, he was worried about him, which made him both moved and sad.
Tie Hu said: "After I leave, you have to listen to your uncle. If you don't understand anything, just ask your uncle."
Hongbo cried and agreed.
Having settled his mind, Tie Hu slowly closed his eyes.
"Father..." Although he was prepared, Ning Hai was still very sad when he faced it.
After crying for a while, Ning Hai fell forward when he got up. If Xiao Shi hadn't been paying close attention to him all the time, seeing something wrong and quickly supporting him, he would have suffered a big fall.
Xiao asked Ning Hai to rest, but unfortunately Ning Hai refused.
Xiao said: "You know your own body. No matter how brave you are, you will collapse before your father's funeral is over." Ning Hai has taken good care of himself in the past few years, but after all, he is getting old and can't bear it. Originally, I had traveled for such a long time, and then I didn't rest all day and night, how could my body be able to bear it. No matter how brave you are, you may fall down.
Hong Bo wiped away his tears and advised, "Uncle, your health is critical, you should go and rest first! I will take care of grandfather's funeral."
Under everyone's persuasion, Ning Hai went back to the house to rest.
Mrs. Xiao brought him a bowl of plain noodles: "You haven't eaten all day, so you should eat something. Dad's funeral will take several days, so how can you survive if you don't eat and sleep well?"
After taking it, I ate the noodles with a taste. After eating, Ning Hai said, "I'm going to visit my father."
Xiao Shi stopped him and said, "If you faint before the coffin, it's not helping, but making trouble."
Ning Hai asked Xiao Shi back: "Do you think I can sleep now?" To be able to sleep, it's a big heart.
"I've asked Dr. Xu to prescribe the medicine to calm the nerves, and you'll be able to fall asleep after taking it." If Ning Hai's body could take it, she would never stop her.
After drinking the medicine, Ning Hai fell asleep.
