Liu Jun took the admission slip issued by Yang Jun, a male specialist in spectacles, and went to the registration fee office on the first floor to pay the hospitalization deposit. He found the ward and asked the mute to carry his father in. Chen Erlin was also busy running up and down.
Liu Dekui, who had always had doubts, was carried by a mute into an inpatient ward with a room for four people. Only then did he dare to believe that this was true. His leg was cured, but Liu Dekui was not happy. He took advantage of the other three beds being empty.
, interrogated Liu Jun with a straight face: "Ajun, where did you get so much money?"
Liu Jun had already thought of his words and said calmly: "Dad, when A Lin and I came to rent a house yesterday, we passed by a welfare lottery betting station. Out of curiosity, we bought two tickets. Unexpectedly, we won two hundred thousand.
Just in time to treat dad. A Lin, right?"
Chen Erlin nodded seriously: "Uncle, Brother Jun is so lucky. He won a big prize as soon as he arrived in the provincial capital. This is a good sign for a good start."
With Chen Erlin testifying, Liu Dekui was half-convinced. He had seen the lottery winnings on TV. He never expected that such a pie-in-the-sky good thing would really happen to his son Ajun?
"Ah Jun, if I had known you had so much money, you would have opened a supermarket for your aunt first. It won't be too late to treat my leg when I have money." Liu Dekui was doubtful, but he still thought about Tian Xiuhua.
"Dad, you can make money early or later, but you can't treat your legs later. The expert Dr. Yang has said that if Dad's leg bones are not treated, it will be too late."
"Oh, let's not talk about that. I'm already hospitalized. You have to go home quickly and tell Aunt Xiuhua to let her know about my hospitalization." Although Liu Dekui didn't completely believe it, Liu Jun paid a large sum of money for hospitalization.
It was a fact. Liu Dekui faced the reality happily and looked forward to being able to walk upright again.
Liu Jun took Chen Erlin's car back to Hongwei Street to pick up Tian Xiuhua, while the mute stayed behind to look after Liu Dekui in the ward.
Liu Dekui called the mute to his side, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Ali, uncle, what should I do to you?"
The mute nodded vigorously and stretched out his thumb to express his approval.
Liu Dekui hummed and said: "Ali, uncle, I watched you grow up. You are a real person. You have never lied since you were a child. I just knew what Ajun said about winning 200,000 yuan in the lottery. Then
They are all lies, I don’t believe it. You are with Ajun every day, and so much money has been put into you. You should know where Ajun’s money comes from. Tell me, where did Ajun get so much money?
Could it be that it was robbed or stolen? You are not allowed to lie to the uncle."
The mute fell silent. He couldn't lie to his uncle Liu Dekui, otherwise he would have a hard time with his conscience. But he couldn't tell Liu Dekui the truth, saying that Liu Jun blackmailed his uncle Liu Dekui from a bully in the market, otherwise he wouldn't be able to forgive him.
Brother Jun.
Liu Dekui was convinced that the mute was honest and truthful. He saw that the mute was thinking about something and was not in a hurry, knowing that the mute would definitely tell the truth.
Sure enough, the mute was only silent for a short time, and then he made serious gestures to Liu Dekui and told Liu Dekui that the two hundred thousand yuan was the result of him and Liu Jun taking advantage of their free time to catch many bastards and sell them day and night.
Several hundred kilograms have been sold, and tortoises are very expensive in the city, costing several hundred yuan per kilogram. It is not difficult to earn two hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, the mute did not mention that Liu Jun and Scarface used a knife to force Scarface to pay 200,000 to save his life. The mute also experienced several big scenes with Liu Jun, and realized what should be said and what should not be said resolutely.
Did not say.
With the mute's confirmation, Liu Dekui later asked the patient in the next bed that the tortoises in the city were really expensive, with the highest price of five to six hundred yuan per pound. Liu Dekui had to believe that Liu Jun was indeed relying on his ability.
I made two hundred thousand without telling the adults.
Catching bastards can make a lot of money. Liu Dekui, who has lived for most of his life, did not expect that there is such a thing. Even no one in Longshang Village, with a population of nearly 4,000, understands this market. He often released water at night without even looking at the bastards he encountered.
Liu Dekui never thought that the tortoises in the countryside would contain huge business opportunities.
Liu Dekui was shocked and annoyed. Even if he caught the bastard and made more money, unfortunately he could not go back to the past. As long as Xiao Fugui, the head of Langshang Village, was in Langshang Village for one day, he was destined to have no chance of survival.
However, it is not easy to hide his promising son and a huge sum of 200,000 yuan. Ah Jun will definitely be a figure in the future. No wonder he failed in the college entrance examination and refused to repeat the exam. With so much money being made by catching bastards, who would want to study!
Liu Dekui thought wildly and lay on the hospital bed and fell asleep for a while. He didn't wake up until Liu Jun brought meat pie soup with Tian Xiuhua.
Seeing that Liu Dekui's leg was cured, Tian Xiuhua was overjoyed. The nearly 200,000 yuan operation cost, whether Liu Jun won the lottery or caught a bastard and sold it, in short, it was all earned by Liu Jun based on his ability.
Later, Liu Dekui could stand up and take care of herself, and she could also sit in the supermarket and help sell things. She, Liu Jun, and the mute worked in the city together, and the family of four could make money. Isn't this life a good one?
There is hope.
…
Ten days later, Liu Jun's father Liu Dekui's double leg bone replacement surgery was a complete success under the personal operation of Dr. Yang Jun, a top student of the Military Medical University and a famous domestic orthopedic expert with glasses. During this period, Liu Jun's aunt and uncle came to the hospital to visit.
Both times, my cousin Duan Qixiao never showed up.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Dekui was discharged from the hospital. Liu Jun left Yang Jun's phone number and said that he would be rewarded generously if he became successful in the future.
When he was discharged from the hospital, the cost of the operation was 196,000 yuan, which was basically the same as Yang Jun's preoperative estimate. Liu Jun still had five to six hundred yuan in pocket money. The hospital gave Liu Dekui two special stainless steel crutches for free.
The family returned to Hongwei Street happily.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon rises and a full moon shines in the sky. It is a day for families to reunite.
Liu Dekui, leaning on a cane and supported by a mute, ordered Tian Xiuhua to place a moon-viewing and ancestor-worship table in the door near the gate according to the custom of her hometown.
There was no special table for sacrificial offerings, so a four-legged square table was used temporarily. On the table were placed a sand tray for placing incense candles, three moon cakes, an orange, and a kitchen knife. Liu Jun lit candles, lit incense, and prayed in the air.
Suddenly, in the rented house, red candles were burning brightly and cigarettes were swirling. Liu Dekui and his family were facing the bright moon in front of the building, enjoying the moonlight with a table of sumptuous dishes. Being in a foreign land, Liu Jun felt a strong sense of home.
After the night banquet, Liu Dekui, Tian Xiuhua and the mute fell asleep. Liu Jun could not sleep, leaning on the door frame and looking up at the moon. Thinking of leaving his hometown, he missed his hometown more and more. He was so excited that he could not help but softly recite the ancient famous poem "Ode to the Moon" by Su Shi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Chapter "Shui Tiao Ge Tou":
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with my wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that the towers and jade buildings will be too cold up there. I will dance to clear the shadows, how can I feel like I am in the human world.
Turning around the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the door, the light is sleepless. There should be no hatred, so why do we have to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is difficult to do in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever, and we can share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away."
…
Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, life must go on.
Liu Jun gave all the few hundred yuan he had to Tian Xiuhua for food, and told Tian Xiuhua not to look for a nanny outside for the time being. His father Liu Dekui still needed to take care of her for more than half a year according to the doctor's instructions before she could throw away the crutch. He and the mute
You can start by doing odd jobs to earn some money to support your family.
For the sake of Liu Dekui's health, Tian Xiuhua tearfully promised not to go out to look for trouble, and asked Liu Jun and Dumb not to work too hard. They would wait for the second half of the year and wait until Liu Dekui could take care of himself before making long-term plans.
Since then, Liu Jun has been penniless. As the saying goes, "Money is a magic thing and can be spent easily." This is indeed true. All 200,000 yuan was spent on his father's leg treatment. Although he is now penniless, Liu Jun's mood is relaxed.
A lot, because Liu Jun saw that his father's brows finally relaxed and there was a smile on his face.
Liu Jun and Dumb walked along Hongwei Street to the foot of Dazhang Village at the entrance of Naoxin Village. They didn't see Chen Erlin, so they walked around the camphor tree. About half an hour later, Chen Erlin arrived in a van.
"Brother, you are waiting again, why don't you make a call?" Chen Erlin got out of the car and greeted him warmly.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. It doesn't matter if I just wait for a while." Liu Jun looked at the mute carrying a military kettle filled with boiled water on his back, thinking that he was penniless at this time, let alone making a phone call.
I can't even afford a bottle of mineral water that costs one yuan.
"Brother, where do you want to go?" Chen Erlin also saw the old-fashioned military iron kettle carried by the mute, and quickly went to the small supermarket across the road and bought three bottles of iced Wong Lo Kat, one for each person.
Liu Jun silently remembered this love. Although a bottle of drink costs only a few yuan, the feelings and feelings of brothers are priceless. There is no need to say thank you verbally.
"Alin, you know, Ali and I don't have a penny now, we don't have any capital to do business, and we don't know what to do well. If you are familiar with this city, you can see where they can recruit temporary workers, and they can also do part-time work.
Okay, we have plenty of strength anyway, it doesn’t matter if we make more or less, as long as we don’t stay at home.”
Of course Chen Erlin knew Liu Jun's predicament. If he hadn't spent all his money to cure his father's leg injury, Brother Jun would be a rich man. Someone who is so filial and willing to spend a lot of money is definitely not an ordinary person.
Liu Jun is a man who dares to fight even a woman's scarred face. He lowers his head to work odd jobs to support his family without complaining. This is a true hero who can bend and stretch. He should be a man that Chen Erlin respects.
"Brother, when it comes to temporary workers, the Qingyun Pharmaceutical Factory in Naoxin Village recruits workers all year round, but the smell of the medicine there is too strong, and most people can't stand it." Chen Erlin thought for a while and answered seriously.
"It doesn't matter, isn't it just the smell of medicine? As long as it's not poison." Liu Jun immediately realized that the lingering pungent smell of medicine in the old area of the Jiangnan Machinery Factory's family area where his aunt lived was from Qingyun Pharmaceutical Factory.
.
"Ali, are you not allergic to the smell of medicine?" Liu Jun asked the mute with concern.
The mute smiled and shook his head. He could suffocate under the Fenshan fish pond and change the water for more than half an hour without any problem. Just smelling a little medicine from Qingyun Pharmaceutical Factory was nothing.
Liu Junheng made up his mind: "Okay, Alin, Ali, let's go to Qingyun Pharmaceutical Factory to apply for jobs."
