Chapter 230 - The balance in the bank card
His uncle was going to have surgery, and his two older sisters were like enemies. The cost of 300,000 yuan was not difficult for Li Lanlan, after she prepared the money, her brother-in-law Wang Guirong told her: "Second sister, let's borrow you 200,000 yuan first, and when Lan Yun recovers from his illness, we will definitely pay it back." ”
Li Lanlan was stunned: "Your family is almost gone, where did you get the 100,000 yuan?"
Wang Guirong replied: "The Da Li family donated more than 10,000 yuan, and the magazine where Lan Yun often publishes articles issued a donation notice and also donated more than 20,000 yuan; and I sold my family's house for more than 60,000 yuan. ”
Li Lanlan was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Are you crazy? I still have me at home, so I won't sell the house!"
Wang Guirong said crampedly: "We already owe you too much favor, we don't know what will happen after the operation, and we may have to borrow money, we can't predict those things." But we still have a little bit of capacity and can take on some of it, so ......"
Li Lanlan held her head and listened to her brother-in-law continue: "When Lan Yun finishes the operation, we will move to my mother's place, and my mother usually takes care of her, so I will go out to work to earn money to pay off my debts." ”
So far, Li Lanlan can only agree. It is said that God will not disappoint strong and hardworking people, and she desperately hopes that God will not disappoint her brother's family again.
Grandma didn't want the whole family to be in the hospital for this operation, so there were only grandma, two sisters and aunt of the Li family in the hospital. Baoqing and Min Jia went to school as usual, and Qiao Jianjun was still at home looking at the store, but he was staring at the phone all the time, waiting for dispatch.
For the business in the store, Lao Qiao has always been very worried. The income of ordinary people is getting higher and higher, which means that the room for choice is getting bigger and bigger, and the catering industry is becoming more and more difficult to do. Since last year, various snack bars have popped up on this street, and his business has been deserted. Fortunately, a well-wisher advertised on the Internet for him, and many outsiders came to visit him, adding a touch of popularity to the store.
Around May Day, more tourists come to eat in the store, and business is better than ever. Last year, Gangcheng TV came to interview, and this year the life channel will come to interview again. Qiao Jianjun was confused, and later learned that it was recommended by someone from the street office. The creation of a civilized city is inseparable from civilized citizens, and after the city issued the instruction of "looking for civilized citizens", the Jixiang Street Sub-district Office recommended Qiao Jianjun for the first time. When the TV station came to interview, the staff of the street office could also show their faces.
On the day the TV station came, it happened to be a day away from his brother-in-law's surgery, and the two sides couldn't coordinate, so Qiao Jianjun had to pray that something wouldn't go wrong. In case of a situation, he handed over the shop to Xiao Tong, who could go to the hospital at any time. Therefore, he trained the child, from the selection of ingredients, the boiling of the broth, etc., so that he could remember every link clearly, so that the audience could know how he treated these foods with a craftsman's heart.
After the reporter came that day, he first took a few shots of eating wontons, and then let out a few exaggerated exclamations, and then entered the interview session.
"We heard that Boss Qiao is not only delicious in his wontons, but also an old hero with a great heart. He took care of a martyr's family day by day for ten years, and also sent his son to the barracks. Can you tell us why you're doing this?"
This is not at all different from what Old Joe prepared, he was puzzled, and said: "They are all neighbors, just helping each other, where is the motive?"
In the face of Qiao Jianjun, who was not enlightened, the reporter continued to sensationalize: "Eleven years ago, the martyr Dong Daming died on the front line of the flood fight, his mother went with him, and only an old father remained in the world. I heard that you eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together every year on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, sending a deep warmth to the families of the martyrs who are lonely and suffering, and we admire you very much. Can you tell us what motivates you to keep doing this?"
Qiao Jianjun's expression gradually cooled, he understood, this is not a food show, it doesn't even have anything to do with his store, they are here to interview something else.
Lao Qiao motioned to turn off the camera, and then said to the reporter: "Comrade reporter, isn't this show about my store?"
"Uh...... We will take pictures of your advanced deeds, which will definitely help the business of the store!"
Old Qiao was disappointed, and displeasure was written on his face. He has been taking care of Lao Dong for ten years, but he doesn't want to be famous to win more customers for his store, and he doesn't want to consume his son, who is just an ordinary soldier, how can he let him advertise his store?
"What's wrong? Boss Qiao, is there anything to be embarrassed about?"
Qiao Jianjun said truthfully: "Comrade reporter, you are right, the neighbors are all spending Chinese New Year's Eve at my house, but we have not said that it is for Lao Dong, and we do not want to make a fuss about it." ”
"Huh?"
Lao Qiao said in a low voice: "Lao Dong is a family member of a martyr, alone, and there are many inconveniences in life. But my wife used to say that don't look at him with pity, let alone see him as a weakling, he is just an ordinary neighbor. Therefore, over the years, I have often called Lao Dong to come over to help, he is a supernumerary staff member of this store. The other neighbors were too busy to do so and called him to help. You see, isn't this a very normal neighborhood relationship? There is nothing to make a big deal about these little things!"
This remark made everyone dumbfounded, they had never thought so deeply. In everyone's habitual thinking, Lao Dong is a pitiful person who deserves sympathy. And only his neighbors will position him as a "normal person", and then a person in need.
Qiao Jianjun continued: "None of us want to make a fuss about Lao Dong, if we really want to shoot, we have to ask for his consent first." ”
The aunt of the street office muttered: "The brains of you people are really eighteen bends in the mountain road......
Qiao Jianjun said with a straight face: "That's better than not thinking about anything." ”
A few years ago, Lao Dong frequently appeared on the news of Hong Kong City, so much so that he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and people did not accept his money, but they all whispered behind his back, "It's him, the one who died his son and his wife, tsk, it's pitiful." After a trip to the vegetable market, Lao Dong was reluctant to go out again. If it weren't for Qiao Jianjun calling him to work, he would have been able to shut himself up.
The aunt of the street office was very unconvinced, and continued to complain: "You are just blind and hypocritical!"
Qiao Jianjun pushed back mercilessly: "Caring for people and making wontons are the same, you have to be attentive!"
As soon as the atmosphere reached an impasse, Lao Qiao said again: "My son is not as great as you think when he is admitted to a military school. He did have the ideal of serving the country in the army, but if his family had been more well-off at that time, he would have had a better choice. He's just an ordinary fighter now, and there's really nothing to say. ”
Those reporters discussed it for a while, and finally changed a few milder topics, not involving the lonely widow Lao Dong, nor bragging about the special combat officer Qiao Nan, but portraying the ordinary and harmonious neighborhood relationship. Of course, the effect of this broadcast will be greatly reduced. But Qiao Jianjun doesn't regret it at all, being a man and doing things is just to have peace of mind!
After filming at one o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Jianjun cooked a few dishes and invited the reporter and the people from the street office to have a meal. Before they finished eating, his wife's phone called, and when Qiao Jianjun answered the phone, his hands were trembling: "How is it? Is the operation over?"
The wife's voice was very urgent: "The bleeding is serious, you may have a second operation, how much money is left at home, you can send it first." ”
"Okay, I'll go over right now. ”
"Besides......" the wife's sobbing voice came: "Leave two or three thousand, in case...... What do you want to do after that?"
Qiao Jianjun didn't dare to be sloppy, said goodbye to the reporters, rode the electric car that his son bought, and rushed to the hospital. When one person undergoes surgery, the whole family goes to the ghost gate to go for a walk, Qiao Jianjun understands this feeling too well.
Needless to say, the tragic scene in front of the operating room was sour, and Qiao Jianjun's eyes were sour. Grandma cried very much, and a nurse covered in blood came out, and she wanted to come forward to ask, but as soon as she stood up, she fainted.
Now it's okay, the son is still in the rescue, and the mother falls down first. Qiao Jianjun said to everyone: "You guys are guarding here, I'll take care of our mother, you don't have to worry." ”
Qiao Jianjun first asked the doctor to do an examination and settled his mother-in-law. It doesn't matter if you don't check, my mother-in-law's high pressure is about to explode, fortunately I fainted in the hospital, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The doctor said that the old man must have endured it for a long time, and his blood pressure is so high that he must be dizzy at ordinary times. Qiao Jianjun blamed himself, the old man had been worried for so many days, he couldn't even sleep well, how could his blood pressure not be high?
Grandma had to be hospitalized for observation, and Qiao Jianjun went to pay the money again. The most commonly used card was no longer available, and he still had about 500 cash in his pocket. With the mentality of giving it a try, he pulled out a bank card that he had barely used, as if it was just for the performance of a friend.
The nurse asked, "How much upfront?"
"1,1000!" Qiao Jianjun had long forgotten how much money was in it, and it was possible that there was no money at all.
As a result, the nurse smoothly took away 1,000 yuan, and now it was Qiao Jianjun's turn to wonder. On the way back to the ward, he saw an AMT machine, inserted the card into it and tried it, and there were still more than 4,000 yuan in it.
Qiao Jianjun was confused, where did the money come from? It can't be the two daughters, they can't secretly give themselves money like this, in this way, only that kid will give him money.
He dialed his son's phone, and Qiao Nan answered it directly very rarely. He should have been waiting for news from his uncle, so he didn't say anything polite to his father, and asked directly, "Where is my uncle?"
"Not yet, I'm here to watch. There's something I want to ask you, did you pay me?"
"No, I just sent 10,000 yuan to my family last month, and I haven't paid any more money other than that. What's wrong, there's not enough money?"
Qiao Nan doesn't seem to be lying, he often sends money to his family, and there is no need to hide it. Qiao Jianjun wondered even more, could it be Poplar? No, this card was made after Poplar went to Beijing, and he didn't know at all. Besides, that kid treats Qiao's family very straightforwardly, and won't go to such great lengths to transfer money to a bank card he doesn't use.
Qiao Jianjun sat in front of his mother-in-law's hospital room, and he didn't come up with a reason for thinking about it for a long time. Finally, I put the card away, and thought to myself, go to the bank another day and ask who the person who sent the money was.
Two hours after fainting, Grandma finally opened her eyes, and Qiao Jianjun hurriedly approached her and asked her where she was uncomfortable.
Grandma was dazed with tears and a hoarse voice: "Lan Yun...... Are you leaving?"
Qiao Jianjun tucked the corners of his mother-in-law's back and said vaguely: "...... Don't think about it, you're still operating!"
As a result, grandma's tears flowed even more violently: "Lan Yun sat on the edge of my bed just now and said to me, Mom, you have been tired all these years, I went to find my dad." Don't worry about me anymore, I'll always come to see you in my dreams, you have to be good...... My Lan Yun!"
