At around 9 a.m. at the Lingxian First People's Hospital, doctors and nurses were busy. Looking at the anxious patients except for their white coats, the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
"It's not urgent to pay for the medical expenses. I haven't had breakfast yet. Come and have dinner with me." Li Shu said without refusal. After that, he walked out, followed by Zhang Jinlian.
The two left the hospital, walked right along the road, turned at the second fork, and walked another 30 meters to a breakfast shop.
"Lao Tian, here are two bowls of tofu puffs and six meat buns." Li Shu took Li Jinlian to the store and sat down. After shouting something loudly, he asked Li Jinlian in a low voice: "His buns are so big, how about you?" How many buns do you want to eat?".
Seeing Li Shu's index fingers and thumbs together to indicate the size of a bun, Li Jinlian felt a little funny and smiled for no reason, but the smile was quickly replaced by sadness.
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry, so I'll just drink a bowl of tofu."
"Okay then." Li Shu shrugged.
The tofu nao and steamed buns were quickly served. The shop owner knew Li Shu, so he said hello and went to work without touching the floor.
Buzz buzz~
Li Shu's cell phone rang suddenly. He took it out and saw that it was his grandfather calling.
"Hey, Grandpa.".
"Xiaoshu, what happened to the man who fell into the river?" Grandpa's old voice came from the mobile phone.
"The doctor said everything is fine. You should wake up after the anesthesia wears off, so don't worry." Li Shu said while holding the phone with his right hand. He used a small spoon to scoop up a little chili pepper and sprinkle it on the tofu brain with his left hand. Stir the tofu brain with another porcelain spoon, and the aroma of the beans will hit your face.
While Li Shu was on the phone, Zhang Jinlian kept peeking at Li Shu with her beautiful eyes. When she saw Li Shu looking towards her, she lowered her head again.
"That's good, that's good." There was a sense of relief in Grandpa's voice. The old man who fell into the river was about the same age as Grandpa. They could be said to be of the same age.
When you hear about something happening to someone your own age, it's inevitable that you'll feel a little bit in your heart.
"The accident happened to "Zhang Baicai" from Zhangjiacun. You don't know him. He is one year younger than me and the same age as your grandpa." There was joy in grandpa's voice: "I, your grandpa, and Zhang Baicai were classmates in elementary school. , he loved to eat cabbage Bangzi when he was a child, and then he got the nickname Zhang Baicai, oh, he lived across the street from your grandpa’s house. ".
There is a trace of nostalgia in Grandpa's tone, because Grandpa and others only went to elementary school. They went to junior high school a few decades ago, and there were very few high school students. Elementary school classmates are a very important relationship.
Beep~
Li Shu chatted with his grandfather for a few more words before hanging up the phone. He looked at Zhang Jinlian, who was sitting opposite. The latter's skin was fair and delicate, especially the skin on his neck, which looked white, tender and elastic.
"Why are you staring at me?" Zhang Jinlian's pretty face turned red and she said a little shyly.
"It's nothing. You should have heard the conversation between me and my grandpa. Since you are from my grandma's village, you don't have to pay back the 20,000 yuan medical expenses." Li Shu picked up the meat bun and took a bite, then took a sip. The slightly spicy tofu noodle makes you feel like you are back in time.
When he returned home during the winter and summer vacations during college, he often came to this breakfast shop to eat. He happened to come to eat on the day when the wooden tables in the shop were just replaced. He even took a selfie and sent it to QQ Zone, thinking that the wooden tables had been replaced. Very novel.
In the blink of an eye, 4 to 5 years have passed, and these originally brand-new tables have turned into old tables under the erosion of time.
"No, no, no, I have to pay it back." Zhang Jinlian waved her hand and said: "Twenty thousand yuan is not a small amount. Our family cannot take advantage of you for no reason. Besides, you can send my grandfather to the hospital. This is already a big deal." It’s a great kindness.”.
"Sending Buddha to the West, 20,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for me." Li Shu swallowed the delicious buns, then opened the mobile banking and showed the displayed balance to Zhang Jinlian: "Well, this is just my bank card Money on the card."
boom!
Looking at the long series of "0"s in the balance, Zhang Jinlian felt a sense of unreality in her heart, but looking at Li Shu, who had an extraordinary temperament and seemed to have a sense of nobility lingering around her, she felt that it was real.
"One "0", two "0"s, three "0"s..." Zhang Jinlian has never seen so much money. She took a deep breath and started counting "0"s. Four 0s are ten thousand, and eight 0s. It's billion.
Li Shu just held up the phone to count to her. After counting quickly, Zhang Jinlian's pupils shrank and her lips began to tremble: "5 billion!!!"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Zhang Jinlian's voice startled Li Shu, and half of the bun in his hand almost fell to the ground: "Which of your eyes saw it as 5 billion? It's obviously 50 million, okay."
Li Shu took the phone back and said with a strange expression: "You didn't include the two zeros after the decimal point, did you?"
"Um, it seems so." Zhang Jinlian looked bright: "But 50 million and 5 billion are about the same. They are both astronomical amounts of wealth."
Li Shu rolled his eyes at her, there was a huge difference between 50 million and 5 billion, but he changed the subject and said: "You don't have to pay back the 20,000 yuan I advanced to your grandpa. This amount of money means a lot to me." drizzle.
Of course, you didn’t get this money for nothing. When you return to Zhangjiacun, you can say more good things about me. Just say that Li Shu, a nephew who has money, never forgets his roots and helps fellow villagers. He is a super good person... " .
After speaking, Li Shu blinked at Zhang Jinlian.
"Hahaha." Zhang Jinlian couldn't hold it back any longer, burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face: "Okay, okay, I will definitely help you promote it."
"As it should be." Li Shu nodded slightly.
After dinner, everyone went back and found that Zhang Baicai had woken up. The latter knew that Li Shu had saved him and grabbed his hand and thanked him profusely. Then he cursed and cursed. He still doesn't know why he stepped on it. The ice going up was thinning.
Seeing the old man's angry look, Li Shu knew that he was fine, so he said goodbye and left, taking a BMW 7 Series back to his home in the county, and then met his parents, little girl, big orange cat, white squirrel, thrush, etc. Let’s go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year together.
Twenty-three makes sticky melons, twenty-four sweeps the house, twenty-five makes tofu, twenty-six stews mutton, twenty-seven kills a rooster, twenty-eight makes dough, twenty-nine steams steamed buns, and thirty nights plays for the night , twist and turn on New Year’s Day.
As the New Year approaches, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
On the way home, from time to time you can see children playing and throwing cannons ~ bang ~
Or the flying monkey~Zi'er~
Back at grandma's house, Li Shu cleaned the fish he caught in the evening, marinated it, wrapped it in bread crumbs and fried it. After the golden fried fish came out of the pan, not only did the big orange cat meow, but the children next door were all excited. He poked his head out of the door with a longing look on his face.
“For you to eat.”.
"Thank you, uncle!".
A few little brats said "Thank you, uncle" and trapped the plum tree trunk. Well, he has been an uncle for a long time.
Early the next morning, he brought 3 kilograms of hand-made "fried fish" to Zhangjiacun to visit his grandma and grandpa. As soon as the car stopped, he saw the door of Zhang Jinlian's house across the way open, with people coming and going, including many. The young boy who had dressed up turned out to be a blind date for Zhang Jinlian.
What made Li Shu feel funny was that he actually saw a few acquaintances among the young people, and the corners of his mouth turned up in an instant: "Interesting~".
After getting out of the car, Li Shu entered his grandma and grandpa's house first. The two old men were very happy about Li Shu's arrival and even greeted him.
"Come inside quickly, it's cold outside.".
"Much taller than your grandpa. They are both young men."
"Come just come. What else should you bring? It's too foreign."
