After they greeted Father Li, Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu looked at Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu and greeted them.
Zhang Dongmei put the bamboo basket on the bedside table and said, "Father, I brought some porridge and chicken soup for you. Eat it while it’s hot."
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, I just brought you some pancakes and pickles. I hope you don’t mind," she added.
Lu Jueyu walked over, helped her take out the food, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Thank you."
When Father Li and others were eating, Li Chenze’s family chatted with them. Not long after breakfast, the door was pushed open. The doctor and the nurses who were doing rounds in the morning came over and smiled when they saw this harmonious family. Since most villagers are narrow-minded and stingy, it is rare to see harmonious families.
Seeing the doctor coming, they stood up and made way for him. After the nurse checked Father Li’s blood pressure, the doctor did some simple checks on him. When he was done, he said with a smile, "After the IV drip, the patient can be discharged. Remember to take medicine on time every day and reduce your workload. You can’t do heavy work, but you still have to do some light exercise."
When Father Li heard what the doctor said, he frowned and said, "Doctor, if I can’t do heavy work, will I no longer be able to work in the fields?"
The doctor understood Father Li’s concerns and said, "I’m sorry, but your heart condition cannot support heavy field work."
Father Li was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, thank you, doctor."
After the doctor and nurse left, Li Chenze said, "Father, my wife and I want to move in and stay with you. We won’t be at ease with you living alone."
Father Li looked at them with surprise and asked, "What about your house?"
"Father, we have already thought about it. We will lend the house to the production team in exchange for lower taxes." Li Chenze said.
After a moment of silence, Father Li said, "You heard what the doctor said. I can no longer work in the fields. If I live with your family, I will become a burden to you."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo said, "Father, you don’t have to worry. My brother and I have already discussed this issue. It is our responsibility to take care of you in your old age. So, we will support you."
Father Li glanced at Zhang Dongmei and Lu Jueyu and asked, "Did both of you know about this?"
Zhang Dongmei nodded and said, "Father, Chenze has already told me about this, and I agree with him. Chenze is your eldest son, and we should have lived with you in the first place."
Lu Jueyu also nodded and added, "Father, my husband and I will earn a lot of work points by raising pigs. The food is enough for us to share. You won’t be a burden for us." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
