At this time, Erwa, who was listening on the side, spoke.

"Tiezhu, why don't you send the old man to my house?"

Everyone present looked at him, and he continued, "I have two younger brothers. My younger sister and I are out earning money, and they're staying home all winter with nothing to do. When the old man comes over, they can do anything and help take care of things. It's just turning him over and helping him poop and pee, right? It's no big deal."

Erwa was not talking nonsense. He knew his younger brother very well. This matter was perfect for them. Otherwise, he would do something big behind his brothers' backs sooner or later.

Tiezhu and the old man were too embarrassed to let the child take care of them. Just as they were about to refuse, Fang Tong beside them spoke up.

"Okay, then it's settled."

He thought about it for a while and said, "How about this, Erwa, they don't have to cook. We will take care of all three meals. Just let your brother come to our house every day to pick it up."

He also wanted to help take care of the old man, but his family now has a business. The two children need to go to school, and the family is very busy and chaotic. The whole family really has no time to take care of the old man.

But cooking a meal was no problem. He was going to cook for the whole family anyway, so he could bring some along. His wife usually cooked cakes, so it was no different for him to cook this meal.

Seeing that his brothers all had their own ideas, Goudan scratched his head and said, "I don't know how I can help. I only have a little strength. If you need any heavy work at home, come to me. You can also tell your brother to come to my house and call me if you need anything. Brother Fang has a lot of things to do at home, so he may not be able to help."

Tiezhu was deeply moved by what happened today. He had been crying just now, and now he looked at his brothers with tears in his eyes. He came over to hold their hands, but the three of them all moved away at the same time.

"Alright, alright, stop being so annoying. You're already a grown-up, but you're still not a real man! If you keep being so distant with your brothers, don't blame us for taking action."

The old man was lying on the bed, choking with sobs, and was happy that his grandson had such a group of good brothers.

He is now too sick to get out of bed, and Tiezhu works with them to make money. He feels at ease because at least with them around, his grandson won't be bullied.

A few people discussed it and decided to do it today instead of waiting for another day, and it just so happened that all the brothers were here today.

After packing up his things, Fang Tong went home to get his family's ox cart.

The ox cart was driven to their doorstep, and Tiezhu carried the old man off the kang, with his brothers helping to support him.

At this moment, Uncle Tiezhu's family were actually all here. When they first arrived, Uncle Tiezhu's family all huddled in the house, listening to the noise outside.

Afraid that they would call for help to take care of the old man, no one showed up and they pretended to be dead in the house.

Now, peeking through the crack in the door, I saw Tiezhu carrying the old man out without a care. He could take him wherever he wanted; it had nothing to do with them anyway.

The old man lay on his grandson's back, but didn't intend to leave directly. When he reached the yard, he suddenly patted his grandson on the shoulder.

"Tiezhu, go to the kitchen. I need to get something."

Tiezhu is a filial son. He takes his grandfather's advice as his own and goes with him on his back.

The old man's words were not very clear, but his meaning was not vague at all. He pointed at the bag of grain on the stove and asked Tiezhu to take it.

If he remembered correctly, there should be another bag at home, and he took just half of it.

"These are enough. Just consider them as our daily rations for the next few days."

Tiezhu was carrying his grandfather on his back and holding a bag of grain in his hands. Erwa and the others quickly took it when they saw it.

The people in the house saw the movement of the food, and Uncle Tiezhu and Aunt Tiezhu came out.

He started to speak in a hypocritical tone: "Hey, Tiezhu, where are you taking your grandfather? Why did you take away all the food? We can't live like this anymore."

He looked at the old man on his back and said, "Dad, you can't be partial to me. How can you let people move food directly?"

The old man sneered, "I'm not dead yet. I'm going to live outside to recuperate. I need to eat this food. If you can't bear to give it to me, then pay me some money. I'll leave the food to you. You have to pay at least half for my food, drink, defecation, and medicine."

The old man's words left the couple speechless.

They are not happy to take food, and taking money would be worse than taking their lives.

In addition, there were several young men standing at the door, and each of them looked at them with a bad expression. Fang Tong was the leader, and he looked the most arrogant.

It wasn't the first time that Tiezhu's uncle and aunt had met Fang Tong. They knew that this guy was a scoundrel and didn't want to have anything to do with Tiezhu's gang of bad friends.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Tiezhu carried his grandfather on his back and got into the car. Several other people also helped and stuffed the food into the car.

Fang Tong drove away in the ox cart.

As soon as the ox cart started moving, the couple couldn't hold it in any longer and started poking each other.

"Where do you think Tiezhu is going to send the old man? He doesn't want to keep him at home, but insists on sending him away. Does he have something against us?"

The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Who cares what he thinks? Just take him away. It saves us from having to serve him every day. Anyway, he will definitely come back after Tiezhu gets married."

"He's not staying at home, he's not even afraid of starving to death out there. He really thinks his stubborn grandson is reliable!"

The two of them cursed fiercely for a long time, then after thinking about it, they both felt that it was a good thing that the old man was not at home, so they went back to the house and were happy.

Fang Tong and the others arranged for the old man to stay at Erwa's house. The grain was not left there but taken to Qin's house. Fang Tong did not argue with them, mainly because he was afraid that the old man would feel uncomfortable if he did not accept the grain.

The food in Tiezhu's family is all coarse grains. When they cook for the old man, it will definitely be the same as what they eat at home. It just so happens that the old man is sick, so he needs to be nourished and eat something good.

Erwa was at home, giving careful instructions to his two younger brothers, asking them to take good care of the old man.

The two children didn't feel tired at all, and they felt quite happy. They had been clamoring to go to Fang Tong's house to work, but their brother disagreed.

Now they have work to do at home.

That night, the Qin family cooked dinner, and Erwa's younger brother came to pick it up. He packed it tightly and took it home. Even though it was a cold day, it was still warm when he got home.

When Tiezhu's grandfather opened the box, he knew that this was not the food he had given him. There were two dishes and a big bowl of hot soup in the box.

The portion was large enough that even the two extra children could have a bite. He felt so warmed seeing this.

As I was eating, I couldn't help but think of the Fang family. I felt that Old Man Fang was not grateful for what he had.

His grandson Tiezhu is honest and capable, and he feels sorry for him enough. But this old man Fang actually kicked out Tongzi, who is much more capable than Tiezhu. Isn't he simply crazy?
