Chapter 90: The Man Left Behind

During the lunch break nine days later, Lu Weibei finished Zhang Yongan's report.

Lu Weibei had a full schedule this week, so she called Wu Xiaofan and asked him to bring his mother over at half past five in the afternoon, and she worked overtime to consult them.

In the afternoon, Lu Weibei went to the consultation room a little earlier as usual to wait, and the person who came to her for consultation today was an eighty-one-year-old man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The old man arrived in a hurry ten minutes later than the agreed time, and a middle-aged man accompanied him, and although the two did not speak, it was obvious that they were at odds.

The old man in a navy blue tunic, hurriedly walked ahead, his steps a little vague, but a cane was sonorous and powerful.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked behind, his steps were also urgent, but the mobile phone in his hand made him a little slower than his father.

When the old man saw Lu Weifaree, he hurriedly greeted, "Hello, Miss Lu." I'm Xu Baohua, and I've made an appointment with you at 2 p.m. for consultation. Sorry, we're a bit of a delay. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Wei to react, he turned his head to the middle-aged man and said, "Don't put down your broken phone yet!"

The middle-aged man behind him sighed helplessly, held the phone with one hand in his left hand, raised his head and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I'm Xu Jin." I'm sorry, there is something wrong with the company's supply chain, I have to deal with it urgently, it's too late. ”

Lu Weibei hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Jin, "I'm Lu Weibei, I'm okay anyway, it's okay." ”

Xu Jin nodded at her and returned his attention to his phone.

When the old man Xu Baohua saw this scene, he didn't say anything, but his expression was already extremely unhappy. With a speechless face, "Are you the only living person in your unit?"

Seeing this, Lu Wei hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, shall we start now?" You come here to sit and want to have something?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I made you see the joke. Xu Baohua sighed, and slowly walked to the sofa according to Lu Wei's guidance, "I don't have to drink anything, you don't have to work hard." ”

Lu Weibei still took two glasses of warm water and put them on the table, "It's nothing, people are under a lot of pressure at work now, and it's normal for people to have urgent matters." Sometimes I can't help it, I understand. ”

Xu Baohua glanced at his son, who was still standing in place and fiddling with his mobile phone, sighed, and did not speak.

After more than half a minute, Xu Jin finally finished replying to the email and walked over quickly, "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, let's start." ”

Lu Weibei nodded, "I read the information on your side, do you just want to see the results of targeted drugs?"

Xu Jin said, "Yes, the doctor said before that chemotherapy drugs are too harmful to the body and are not recommended to be used." My dad is also taking some other medicines, and the effect is also good. I came this time because I heard from a friend that targeted drugs may have a good therapeutic effect......"

The phone rang, and Xu Jin's words were interrupted. He glanced at the phone and hurriedly explained to Lu Wei, "I'm sorry, please wait for me." Then, he got up and went out to find a corner and answered the phone.

Leave Xu Baohua and Lu Wei with big eyes.

Xu Baohua's face turned pale and sighed.

Lu Weibei had no experience in dealing with angry and mourning old men, and thought about it for a long time before speaking, "Why don't I go and get some hot water again?"

"Little girl, can I have a cure for my disease?" asked Xu Baohua.

Lu Wei didn't worry that he had no cure, so he hurriedly explained, "Yes, yes, uncle, don't worry." ”

Who knew that Xu Baohua's mood was even worse, and he buried his head and said nothing.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Lu Wei asked.

"He should be relieved again. Xu Baohua said gloomily.

"Did you say Mr. Xiao Xu, is it okay to reassure him?" Lu Weibei asked.

"What's so good? He's relieved, and it's hard for me to see him again. Xu Baohua sighed self-deprecatingly.

Lu Wei didn't think about it, "Is Mr. Xiao Xu usually so busy all the time?"

Xu Baohua stared at the unwavering liquid surface in the disposable water cup, and was silent for a while, "Little girl, it's okay anyway now, I'll tell you a story." ”

This story is the story of Xu Baohua.

He was born on the tail of war and grew up in an era of ruin. In his memory, there was a vague father who was killed by the enemy, a stranger with a big card, and a bottle and jar with no food.

In addition, there are friends who go into the water to catch fish with him, colleagues who work hard with him to improve the accuracy of lathe components, and family members who watch the news with him and chat about idle days.

He has gone through the most difficult time in New China, and has come to this time that is too good to imagine.

He thinks that this road is good, but unfortunately, he has walked this road for too long.

Except for a son who was too busy to stay at home, there was no one else around him.

"I know he's busy, and I know he's tired. You see how thin he is, and I feel sorry for him. Xu Baohua sighed, "I used to be a person who could shine, but I am the chief engineer of our unit!

"You're also very nice and in good spirits right now. Lu Weibei said softly.

Xu Baohua shook his hand, "The spirit is all forced to be shown to outsiders." I know for myself, my day is not interesting. Son, no matter how good it is, it's also the pillar of someone else's family, what does it have to do with me. ”

Lu Wei's eyes turned red, "Old man, don't say that." Mr. Xu, he really cares about you. He clearly wrote in the information of the pre-examination consultation, whether your applicable drug is marketed in China or not, no matter how much it costs, he will find a way to solve it. This is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

"Little girl, do you think I think he is unfilial?" Xu Baohua raised his eyebrows.

Lu Wei was stunned.

"Little girl, you're still too young. Xu Baohua shook his head, "I know, he is filial." Can the children taught by our husband and wife be poor?"

Lu Wei smiled slightly, "Yes, I can see that Mr. Xu is very good." ”

"But he's not just my son. Xu Baohua said, "He is a technician of the state, the husband of their small family, and the father of his children." Where is he so busy?"

"I can see he's really busy, but he really cares about you. Lu Wei said goodbye.

"People of our age are just an ornament on a vase shelf. If this ornament is about to be gone, people will feel uncomfortable, and they will desperately try to keep it. Speaking of this, Xu Baohua smiled self-deprecatingly, "If this ornament can be placed here all the time, it will be difficult for people to even look at it." ”

"Even so, wouldn't it be good to stay here and be a sea god needle for the rest of your life?" Lu Weibei asked.

Xu Baohua smiled, "The Dinghaishen Needle itself is a stator with a fixed depth, and it is useless to put it in the Dragon King every day, and it was used as a golden hoop stick by Sun Dasheng, and I didn't see anything wrong with the sea." Why should I be the god of the sea? It's not a pillar. ”

"You can't say that!" Lu Wei raised his eyebrows, "How powerful that golden hoop stick is! If it weren't for it, Tang Seng would have died on the way to the West Heaven to learn scriptures." That's a baby!"

"The golden hoop rod has not rotted or broken for thousands of years, and I can't compare with it. Xu Baohua said, "I just thought, when I am a pillar, I can't hold it anymore, so I will pass it on to the next person, and my life will be worth it." ”

"Yes, you pass it on to the next person, and you can live for the rest of your life, what a good thing......" Lu Wei said with red eyes.

"I'm used to being a pillar, but I can't be a vase. Xu Baohua waved his hand, "When Xiaojin was before, I still had a thought here." After retiring, we can't make any contribution to the country, so we can go back to our own small home and contribute to our small family. It's good now, there's no one around me, no one needs me, and I don't need anything, what do you say we're called here?"

Lu Weibei blinked, "What kind of person is your wife?"

"Oh, Tiger! She has a bad temper, and if she can't get used to it, she will scold people, and I have made amends for her over the years. Speaking of his wife, Xu Baohua's eyes had some brilliance, "But this old lady is not a bad person, she has a good heart, is responsible, and she is also good at doing things." Originally, she was in the same unit as me, and that little picture was absolutely amazing!"

"Looks like you're bosom friends. Lu Weibei smiled.

Xu Baohua waved his hand, "That's what you literati say, we go to the workshop, don't call it that." We call them revolutionary comrades-in-arms. ”

Lu Wei blinked, "Then what kind of work are you and your revolutionary comrades-in-arms doing?"

Xu Baohua was interested, "We...... Laser, you know?"

Xu Baohua was an engineer at the Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics before his retirement, and he was also a powerful figure at that time. It's a pity that after retiring, because I had to take care of my wife, who suffered from dementia, my major was almost relaxed.

When his wife was alive, he often remembered the time when they worked together, and the two could still talk about this at that time, but after his wife's death, he never talked about these pasts except for the visit of people from the unit during the New Year's holidays.

After all, his son and daughter-in-law are too busy, and his grandson is too young, and no one has time to listen to him, an old fellow, Xianglin's sister-in-law, how they were stuck in the United States back then, and how they pondered day after day, tried again and again, and slowly developed technology.

Now that Lu Wei didn't ask, he couldn't wait to pour beans into a bamboo tube and tell it all.

Lu Wei listened in a daze, and occasionally responded to the occasion, saying something like "Ah, what should I do then?" to set off the atmosphere.

Rao is Lu Weibei can't provide any professional response, and Xu Baohua also spoke heartily.

Lu Weibei felt sad while listening.

Xu Baohua is really lonely, but Xu Jin is really helpless.

No one is wrong, maybe it's time that is wrong.

Time rolled forward, and the young people trotted along with it. The old man, on the other hand, had to stay where he was, guarding his past glory, guarding his past feelings, and guarding his past self.

The rolling torrent of the development of the times will not wait for anyone, never.

Everyone will grow up, harvest memories, and ...... in this torrent Gradually submerged.
