Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

Luo Feng had returned home overnight so as not to delay his daughter's studies, but what happened the next morning still kept him in the village for two days.

When they got home, everyone felt very tired. They didn't talk much and just washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Luo Feng woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. Of course, by then the roosters had crowed countless times.

Oversleeping, Luo Feng helped his daughter get dressed while calling for Shunzi in the side room. He didn't even have time for breakfast; he planned to take his daughter to school first to avoid disrupting her studies.

Even though my daughter is in kindergarten, we parents should still take it seriously.

Before Luo Feng could finish his work, he heard Luo Laoshuan's voice coming from the courtyard gate.

"Fengzi, something's happened to Fengzi, you need to go and check on him right away."

"What happened?" Seeing Lao Shuan shouting anxiously, Luo Feng rushed into the yard and asked Lao Shuan through the big iron gate.

"Butcher Liu has hanged himself," Old Shuan said with a look of fear.

"What?" Luo Feng was also taken aback and couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Lao Quan's expression didn't seem to be joking, Luo Feng quickly put on a coat and shoes, and followed him to Liu the butcher's house to check on the situation.

Although the public security situation wasn't great these days, the things that happened in the surrounding villages were mostly clandestine incidents; no one had actually been killed.

Luo Feng and Lao Shuan hurriedly tried to run to the butcher's house. When they arrived, they were surprised to find a crowd of villagers gathered there. They could hear a child crying in the crowd; judging from the voice, it was Liu the butcher's son.

Pushing through the crowd to see, they found that Shi Jianyou had been rescued and was lying on a bed, but no matter how the villagers handled him, he wouldn't wake up.

His son was sitting on the ground nearby, wailing loudly, and no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing this scene, Luo Feng couldn't help but recall when he was being pressured by the villagers to repay his debts. Xinghua had the same expression back then, and he felt heartbroken for her.

Ignoring Liu the butcher's son, Luo Feng felt dizzy watching several clueless old men messing around with Liu the butcher.

That person was probably in asphyxiation shock. You should have just done CPR, not tried to force-feed them rice water! It's impossible to get that down there. And what's the point of patting and tapping them? Do you expect to wake them up?

Was he saved in the same way when he tried to hang himself? It seems he really is lucky to be alive. Luo Feng thought to himself.

There was no time to deal with these old men who knew absolutely nothing about medicine. Luo Feng quickly stepped forward, pulling them apart and stopping their pointless actions.

Then Guofeng began to perform CPR on Liu the butcher.

Luo Feng first loosened Liu the butcher's collar, then placed his palms together on Liu the butcher's chest, rhythmically pressing down on it. He also occasionally checked Liu the butcher's eyes and blew air into his mouth.

This is actually the simplest form of artificial respiration, medically known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Don't let its simplicity fool you; it can be life-saving in a critical moment. However, if the technique is not mastered, it can be fatal.

Luo Feng had only seen his teacher demonstrate a few times when he was in school in his later life, but he had no actual experience in saving people. However, he couldn't care less about that now.

However, whether it was Liu the butcher's good fortune or Luo Feng's method that worked, he slowly opened his eyes, and the man was saved.

Seeing that Butcher Liu had been rescued, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted someone to die in their village for no reason.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved without serious incident, everyone began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Why would Liu the butcher, who was perfectly fine, suddenly try to kill himself?"

"It must be something about his wife."

"He doesn't even think about his own son. He's gone. How will his son survive all alone?"

"Sigh, this child is really pitiful to have parents like these."

……

Luo Feng had no time to pay attention to the villagers gossiping outside; he was holding Liu the butcher's son and comforting him.

In Luo Feng's view, children's hearts are very fragile. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause psychological trauma to the child, which is not conducive to the child's growth.

Not really. Luo Feng is a pushover. Every father knows that once you have children, you'll be much more tolerant of other people's children.

Perhaps it's not just women who experience a surge of maternal instincts; men can also experience a surge of paternal love at certain times.

After much coaxing and cajoling, they finally managed to calm Liu the butcher's son down. The child then fell into a deep sleep, whether from exhaustion or some other reason, it was unclear.

Seeing the mess in Liu the butcher's house, Luo Feng felt he couldn't let the child rest there.

So he called over Lao Shuan and asked him to take the child to his house and find a room for the child to sleep in.

Then he said to the villagers who were watching the commotion outside the door, "Since there's nothing wrong, everyone can go home. After all, we all have things to do."

Upon hearing his words, the villagers suddenly realized that they still had farm work to do. So they quietly dispersed.

Now, besides Liu the butcher, only Luo Feng and a few elderly people from the village remain in his household.

Seeing the old folks constantly comforting Liu the butcher who had just woken up, Luo Feng could only search Liu the butcher's kitchen and prepare to cook him a bowl of millet porridge.

For a weak and frail person, porridge is the best thing to drink.

Luo Feng had already overslept this morning, and with this commotion, the whole morning was gone. He had originally planned to take a bus back to the county in the afternoon, but seeing that Liu the butcher's son was unattended, he changed his mind.

In order not to delay his daughter's schooling, Luo Feng decided to let Shunzi take his daughter back to the county first, and he would go there immediately after he had taken care of things at home.

But then, Xinghua refused. She kept making a fuss, not wanting to leave her father.

Luo Feng was already dizzy and confused because of what happened today, so he couldn't stand her making such a fuss. He had no choice but to give up.

It seems I need to go to the kindergarten and explain to the teacher what happened to my daughter these past few days.

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Luo Feng stared blankly at the little guy sleeping in his house.

Little Xu Jian looked terrified, as if he were still having a nightmare. He kept muttering, "Don't leave me, don't leave me."

To be honest, Butcher Liu is really something. He abandoned his child so young. Judging by that woman's behavior, the child's mother definitely won't care about him anymore. What will happen to the child if he loses his father?

As he thought about it, Luo Feng couldn't help but shed tears.

However, he was secretly glad that he hadn't died when he tried to commit suicide, otherwise Xinghua would have ended up like this, perhaps even worse off than the little guy in front of him.

"Sigh, what kind of karma did we create!" Luo Feng sighed silently.
