Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 555

I forcefully squeezed a smile and said: "How could it be? Didn't you say that in the early stage, you must go to the hospital and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and you will be fine. I heard that the most important thing about this disease is mentality. Ten or eight years is not a problem!"

Yuan Lihong coughed again, and she was in great pain, so I stopped talking and helped her to the hospital after she stabilized a bit.

At this time, the tall man just pulled Feifei and walked in from the door of the classroom.Feifei was pulled by her, and she kept yelling: "Why are you crazy? Let me go!"

The tall man reluctantly dragged Feifei to me, and said to me, "Tell Feifei what you just said!"

How could I be in the mood to deal with his nonsense, and said to Feifei: "Don't mess with anyone, we don't have that much time to deal with idiots, you have time to go home more, your brother told me, you are half I haven't called home for a month, and I don't know what you're busy with all day!"

Feifei hummed and said, "I see, brother, I've been very busy recently. I'm graduating soon and preparing my thesis. I know you're busy too. I also read the news. Take care of your health. I'll go first!" said Finished, turned around and prepared to walk away.

But the tall man firmly held Feifei's wrist, not letting Feifei go.

Feifei's hand hurt and she yelled, "Let go, you hurt me!"

Yuan Lihong was coughing so badly that he couldn't breathe anymore, and I was in no mood to argue with him anymore, so I yelled at Gao Danan: "You are such a big man, why are you so shameless, let go! Do you hear me! "After finishing speaking, he went to pull the tall man's finger.With a little more force, he could break his fingers.

He let go of Feifei's hand in pain, and yelled at me: "You let go, if you don't let go, I will destroy you!"

I grabbed his finger with one hand, and slapped him with the other hand, cursing: "Who do you call Laozi? Your parents educate you like this? Your teacher disciplines you like this." ? I didn’t bother with you about the class just now, and now I dare to mess with my sister!”

Gao Danan became completely angry after being slapped by me, but I grabbed his fingers and roared: "Let me go, let's fight one-on-one!"

I let go of his hand and said, "Stay where it's cool, stay away from my sister, she doesn't need to be friends with idiots! Get out of here, I don't have time to entangle with idiots like you!" Yuan Lihong was getting ready to get in the car.

Yuan Lihong's assistant also came to help.

When most people see this situation, they will stop pestering me, at least wait until I get the patient into the car before making trouble.

However, this tall man really has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He didn't care about any patients at all. He grabbed my shoulder and punched me when he came up.It's just that although he is big, his movements are very slow. Seeing that his fist has arrived, I lowered my head slightly, and kicked him on the lower abdomen, and he squatted down covering his stomach.But because of my dodge, I almost bumped into Yuan Lihong, and now he completely annoyed me.

I told Yuan Lihong's assistant: "You help Professor Yuan get into the car first, I'll be right there!"

The assistant looked at the tall man on the ground and nodded to me.

I turned my head and stared at the tall man squatting on the ground. Feifei looked at me and was a little scared. She stood between us and advised me: "Brother, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he is just a no-brainer. But there's nothing bad about it, I'm usually nice to me, just stubborn, I'm jealous, don't see me saying nice things to other men!"

I pointed at Feifei and said, "Such a man is not only brainless, but also lacks stamina. Finding such a boyfriend will exhaust you! From now on, don't keep using me as a shield. My reputation is already bad. Find a serious boyfriend." Boyfriend, you're not too young, don't think about playing all day long. If this goes on like this, sooner or later you'll have to play out!"

Feifei snorted and said: "You have the mouth to talk about others, but you don't have the mouth to talk about yourself. What about you? Watch the pot and watch the bowl. I have read a lot of your news, and all your stories have been reported. !"

I said impatiently: "Others believe it, you believe it too? I'm too lazy to tell you, I still have something to do, you can handle it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the tall man who was still squatting on the ground: "A man should look like a man! He is tall and thick, and his mind is like a needle. At any time, don't touch women, not everyone in the world It's all your mother, and I have to get used to you!"

I couldn't hold back Yuan Lihong, so I had to drive directly to the airport. In the airport waiting hall, she finally stabilized. I persuaded: "If you are like this, the airline will probably not let you board the plane. Why don't you take a few more rests?" God, wait a little longer, let's go!"

Yuan Lihong said weakly: "I took the medicine and I'll be fine after a while of rest. I really have to go back. I don't feel relieved that Lao Sun is at home. Besides, you have seen that I am like this. Maybe I will see God that day. Let me Let's go back!"

I had no choice but to nod helplessly.

There were still two hours before the plane took off, so Yuan Lihong was asked to sleep on the sofa for a while.

Seeing her falling asleep, he asked her assistant, "She is so sick, why do you want her to come out to give lectures? Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment?"

The assistant said with tears: "She refuses to go! The last time I accompanied her to see a doctor, after the diagnosis, she had already given up treatment. She said she wanted to die on the podium, not on the hospital bed."

I asked curiously: "Everyone has a desire to survive, but if there is still a glimmer of hope, they should be actively treated? Why did she give up so quickly? Didn't it mean that it would be fine if it was removed? I have a friend's wife I just got lung cancer, after the resection, I haven’t even had chemotherapy for a few years, and now I’m fine, nothing happened!”

The assistant sighed and said, "We didn't procrastinate, it's just that when we went for the examination, it had already spread, and there was no way to remove it. She was waiting to die in the hospital, so she was allowed to be discharged."

I looked at Yuan Lihong who was sleeping soundly, and thought about how strong she is, a person who knows the time of her death, can face the last part of her life calmly and find her own direction.

We made it back to BJ without a hitch, and arrived at her BJ's house, the first time I've been to the place where Katsuo was born and raised.

Unlike what I imagined, her home is not a courtyard house, nor a villa or bungalow, but a family building for veteran cadres, a simple multi-storey sun room.The house is quite big, with a full 140 square meters, but the decoration of the home is simple, without too many decorations, and there are not many household appliances. The most things are books, a lot of books.

The old man saw me coming, received me warmly, and said to me: "Xiao Chen, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came? You see that the house is in a mess and it hasn't been cleaned up. Sit down, my name is Xiao Yuan is going to cook, and we two will have a good drink in a while."

I looked at Yuan Lihong strangely, and Yuan Lihong explained with a smile: "Sometimes sober, sometimes confused!"

Grandpa Sun said angrily: "Who is confused? I'm sober, go and cook, I have to go to work later in the evening!"

"Go to work? Aren't you retired, old man?" I asked curiously.

The old man snorted and said, "Why should I retire? I'm still very young. I'm on duty at night, so I have to go back to the regiment to be on duty. The day after tomorrow, the whole army will be training for a joint exercise. This time... I can't tell you that this is a military exercise." confidential!"

I smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, let's not talk, let's not talk!"

I asked Yuan Lihong: "Is the old man alone at home? How did he live alone for so many days?"

Yuan Lihong also asked the old man quite strangely: "Where is Mama Zhang? Why are you at home alone?"

Grandpa Sun's clear eyes became blurred at this moment, and he replied vaguely: "Mother Zhang? Who is Mother Zhang? I have been at home alone all the time!"

I immediately became vigilant and said, "See if you have lost anything at home? This is not okay, the old man is like this, in case someone has any ideas, just lose something, if something happens to someone, it's too unsafe! "

Yuan Lihong looked around and said: "I don't think I lost anything, I'm used to it, the last two nannies were driven away by the old man, and they took a lot of things from the house when they left, and they also called the police, but no one can find them." When we arrived, Mama Zhang was introduced by an intermediary company, so she was somewhat guaranteed, but I don’t know where she went, so I’ll make a call and ask.”

Just as she was about to pick up the phone, a middle-aged woman opened the door with a man and walked in with a few bags of things. As she entered, she said, "I'll cook something delicious for you in a while, and you can watch TV first! "

Then I raised my head and saw Yuan Lihong and I standing in front of her, my face turned red in embarrassment, the man behind had already taken off his shoes, patted Mama Zhang's butt with a smile, and said, "After dinner, let's ..."

Then I also saw the two of us, and I froze in place, wondering what to do?

Yuan Lihong said in her most vicious words, "You really have no sense of shame!"

Mama Zhang hurriedly explained: "This is me, a fellow villager. I happened to come to see me, so I went to buy some food and eat with the old man later. The house is too deserted, so let's make it more lively with more people!"

The man behind nodded and laughed.

I took the bag from Mama Zhang and said, "Ah, let's eat together, anyway, there are so many people and it's lively!" After speaking, I tugged Yuan Lihong to remind her not to be so angry.

The old man came out at this moment, saw Zhang Ma and said, "Sheng Nan, you are back? Second, you are back too? Quick, quick, quick, wash your hands and eat, now the whole family is complete! No, still Bad boss, boss is still angry with me, hey, it’s okay, it’s okay, just stop being angry!”

I smiled and said to the old man: "Yes, yes, everything is here, just wait for dinner!"

After finishing speaking, I was going to take the dishes into the kitchen to cook.

Mama Zhang hurried over and said, "You are my son-in-law, how can I let you cook? I'll go, I'll go!" She snatched the food from my hand and ran into the kitchen.

After a while, I heard Yuan Lihong's small but very angry voice. I ran over and saw Yuan Lihong standing at the door of the old man's room, shouting with red eyes: "Mother Zhang, come here!"

Zhang Ma ran over wearing an apron, Yuan Lihong took out a bowl, dropped it to the ground and said, "This is what you feed the old man?"

I looked in the bowl, there was a bowl of uncooked rice with a little pickle on top.

Yuan Lihong continued to say angrily: "Why doesn't the old man stay in his room? Why are your clothes on the bed?"

Zhang Ma's eyes rolled around, but she immediately said calmly: "I was afraid that the old man would get lost in the middle of the night, so I moved into his room and slept with him. I didn't avoid suspicion, and it was for his own good!"

Yuan Lihong was extremely angry, and cursed: "Shameless! How could the old man sleep with you? He's not so confused yet!"

At this time, the old man came over and said, "Why are you making so much noise? I let Xiao Zhang sleep in my room, and I slept well in the study. The two of them slept in that small room, it was too crowded!"

When I heard it, I said with an oh: "Are you husband and wife, or are you from the same village?"

Zhang Ma and his hometown answered at the same time, but one said they were husband and wife, and the other said they were fellow villagers.

In fact, I don't care about their affairs at all, whether it's an adulterer or a normal couple, what I care about is how they treat the old man.

Seeing that Yuan Lihong was panting heavily, I said, "Go to the room to rest first, and I'll take care of it here! Just give me the agent's phone number!"

Yuan Lihong nodded and walked into the room.

I asked the old man, "What does the old man usually eat?"

The old man pointed to the bowl on the ground and said: "That's probably all. I don't have any requirements for food! Just eat as much as you want!" After finishing speaking, he was wandering around again. He didn't know what to think, so he walked away up.

I smiled and asked Mama Zhang, "How much do you pay for taking care of the old man a month?"

Mama Zhang lowered her head and said, "It's 4000 yuan a month, and I have to buy vegetables, wash clothes, cook, clean, it's not much!"

I hummed and said, "That's really not much. I took a look at the vegetables you bought just now! I guess it will cost more than 1000 yuan? This meal costs a quarter of the money. How will you spend at the end of the month?" ?”

Zhang Ma nodded and said, "Yes, everything is expensive now, 4000 yuan is really not much!"

I put away my smile and asked: "I don't care how much you spend, but you know that the old man has high blood pressure and diabetes, right? Who are you buying these things for? I won't talk about glutinous rice balls, desserts, pickles , marinated beef, and so many high-sugar fruits, are you trying to poison the old man to death?"

Zhang Ma's complexion changed, and she said in a panic: "No, no, I bought these for myself!"

I sighed and said: "I bought it for you, so it can't be counted in the living expenses? Show me the receipt later, and I will divide these. I want to ask you, then you buy it for the old man." Where is the food? What does he eat?"

When Mama Zhang heard about the money issue, she immediately said angrily: "Why do you have to divide it up? I have to eat at your house too?"

I snorted and said, "You can eat it, but you can't just eat it for yourself. The old man doesn't have to eat it, right? Let me ask you where is the food you gave the old man? What does he eat?"

Without waiting for her to answer, I continued: "Don't you know that diabetics don't eat rice? And you give him uncooked rice. Are you trying to make money or kill yourself!"
