Chapter 81: A Depressed Old Man
Mu Dong ran home slowly, had breakfast, and just as Lin Xiaoyuan was going to send Xiao Xiao to class, Mu Dong simply got in the car, went to see Xiao Xiao off first, and then went to the courtyard on Luda Road with Lin Xiaoyuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The concrete floor in the courtyard has been re-paved, the whole courtyard looks very neat, and the exterior walls of the warehouse and the small building have been freshly painted and the interior is being renovated.
Near the north side of the courtyard wall, there have been more than a dozen bowl-thick tung trees, Lin Xiaoyuan introduced, the roots of the tree are transplanted with soil, the other party said that it is guaranteed to survive.
Mu Dong looked around and kept nodding.
On the first floor of the small building, there were several rooms that had already been cleaned up, and Mu Dong pondered that if Old Man Wang really came in the afternoon, there would be a room for him to live in. Fortunately, there is no deliberate decoration, just a simple painting, which should be able to live directly.
When Fang Xiaojie and Liu Fangfei saw Mu Dong, they hurriedly gathered around, and several people entered one of the rooms to talk, and there were already a few tables and chairs in this room, which looked like an office.
The two of them didn't know about Mu Dong's car accident, and when they saw Mu Dong, they complained for a while, saying that he was the shopkeeper and didn't care about the company's affairs.
Mu Dong didn't explain, just laughed and asked them to talk about what they talked about with the courier company.
The two of them came to their senses, hurriedly took out the map of Quancheng and some information, and began to report their work.
Mu Dong's idea is to take this small courtyard as the center, within a radius of five kilometers, all the blocks will be contracted.
As long as which courier company can meet this requirement, Boss Mu will contract the business of which courier company. As for the price, it's negotiable.
Fang Xiaojie and Liu Fangfei talked about it according to this idea, but this condition made the bosses of various express companies very difficult.
With this small courtyard here, Boss Mu's strength is beyond doubt, the problem is that the urban business of various express companies has been contracted out, if it meets Boss Mu's requirements, it is bound to recycle a lot of outlets, and then package and contract to Boss Mu.
The difficulty of recycling express outlets is not ordinary.
Some outlets are willing to take this opportunity to sell at a high price, but some are determined not to sell. So. The courier company was very embarrassed, and wanted to cooperate with Boss Mu, but could not meet Boss Mu's requirements.
In fact, Mu Dong is also tempting, not to mention a radius of five kilometers, and it is also fun to take a block within a radius of three kilometers. He is saying this now, just to show his strength and make various couriers pay attention.
What's more, now that the yard has not been cleaned up, and the garlic business in his hand has not ended, let Fang Xiaojie and Liu Fangfei grind their teeth with those couriers, which can be regarded as a workout.
However, the news of Tiantong Express made Mu Dong very satisfied, and they replied that they had finalized a block of about two kilometers around the small courtyard, which could be packaged and contracted to Boss Mu.
Mu Dong instructed Fang Xiaojie and Liu Fangfei to continue to talk and strive to expand the scope a little more. Don't be limited to pushing the small courtyard outward as the center of the circle, you can appropriately extend irregularly to the area that can be fought for.
This suggestion made Fang Xiaojie and Liu Fangfei's eyes light up, yes! Why didn't we think of it?
The two of them had a new direction of effort and went out in a hurry.
At noon, Mu Dong and Lin Xiaoyuan went home for lunch, passing by a lottery betting station, Mu Dong remembered a joke with Liu Wei, so he asked Lin Xiaoyuan to stop, went in and bought a 30 pick 7 lottery ticket, he machine selected 10 numbers of retest betting, spent 240 yuan.
Walking out of the lottery betting station, Mu Dong felt funny, how could he buy this thing by the ghost, even if it was a love.
Mu Dong got into the car, the two of them continued to go home, Lin Xiaoyuan asked puzzledly: "Big brother, why do you still buy lottery tickets? You are not short of money, didn't you just get 1.2 million?"
This box of money was deposited by Xiao Xiao and Lin Xiaoyuan in the bank together, so Lin Xiaoyuan asked this question.
Mu Dong touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "I told Liu Wei that this disaster will not die, and I want to buy a lottery ticket to celebrate, I don't know what happened just now, but I suddenly remembered it, and I wanted to try it." ”
Lin Xiaoyuan couldn't help but chuckle and didn't speak.
As soon as the two arrived home, Mu Dong received a call from Liu Wei.
Liu Wei has been a little unhappy recently, and after returning to BJ for so many days, Mu Dong, a dead guy, has never called him once. After all, the two of them have shared hardships and hardships, shouldn't they talk to each other on the phone and greet each other about their recovery?
Actually, Mu thought about it, but he felt that the other party was a girl, and when he returned to BJ, he must have someone around to take care of him, so it was better not to disturb, so he didn't call.
It turned out to be good now, and they took the initiative to call.
Mu Dong hurriedly picked it up and said, "Hello, Liu Wei, it's been doing well lately, isn't it?"
Liu Wei couldn't help but feel angry, and said slowly: "Boss Mu is very busy, right?
Mu Dong heard Liu Wei's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly said: "Liu Wei, aren't you afraid that you will be inconvenient? I haven't dared to disturb you, I'm sorry!"
Liu Wei said: "What's inconvenient for me, Boss Mu, it's inconvenient for you, right?"
Mu Dong was speechless, he didn't know how to answer this, so there was a brief silence on the phone.
Liu Wei on the other side suddenly chuckled and said, "How about playing with you, Mu Dong, is you recovering well?"
Mu Dong sighed in his heart, can you not play like this, I take it seriously.
Hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I can go out for a jog now, and it is estimated that I will fully recover in a few days, how are you, Liu Wei?"
"I'm much better and can go out and about, but my family won't let me walk around, and I'm almost suffocating. ”
Mu Dong chuckled: "My family was like this a few days ago, don't worry, recover slowly, everything will be fine." ”
"Everything will be fine. Liu Wei repeated it softly and said, "Well, yes, everything will be fine, I'm fine, that's all, take care, Mu Dong, goodbye." ”
The phone hung up, and Mu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Wei let out a long sigh.
Wang Zhendong was also sighing. After Cheng Jiangfeng brought the news that the small courtyard was a blessed land, Wang Zhendong quickly rushed home. My father is recovering well, although he still needs to use a wheelchair, but he has been discharged from the hospital, and has been living at home with his mother recently.
The old man didn't talk much all day long, as long as he spoke, he was fluent in Mandarin, which made the family depressed.
When Wang Zhendong returned home, he first whispered the news brought by Cheng Jiangfeng to his mother, and the old lady was convinced of this and immediately agreed, go, go now.
As a result, when he told the old man to go out to relax, the old man was reluctant, and he said, "It's very good here, and I'm not going anywhere." ”
Wang Zhendong was helpless, all kinds of persuasion, the old lady also came up and began to plead, and finally wiped her tears, the old man was overwhelmed, and finally agreed.
In fact, the old man was more depressed than all the others.
Mu Dong didn't guess wrong, there is another person in Old Man Wang's body now.
Strictly speaking, there are two people.
The Mandarin-speaking one, named Shi Kun, is a model of tragedy in this buddy's life.
Shi Kun was born in 1959 in a small alley in Beijing. Both parents were high-level intellectuals. When he was 11 years old, his father was killed in that catastrophe, and two years later, his mother was humiliated and hung by a rope. It was grandma who pulled herself up with hard work.
When he was 17 years old, his grandmother died of the oil and lamp, and Shi Kun became an orphan, and later smuggled to Hong Kong with the help of a distant uncle.
At that time, Hong Kong was implementing a policy of resistance, so Shi Kun successfully obtained a residence status and slowly settled here.
When I was young, I was working everywhere, eating well, and I never found a wife. Later, I slowly had some savings, and when I got older, the marriage was so ruined.
In his thirties, Skun slowly learned to be in the stock business, and by the age of forty, he had started to specialize in investment advisors in the gold and silver business.
By 2008, thanks to the continued rise in gold and silver prices, the 49-year-old was already making a modest profit. At this time, his spring also came, and he hooked up with a middle-aged woman from the mainland who came to Hong Kong to work, and the two soon lived together.
As a result, one fine night, the woman ransacked his den, swept away a large amount of cash, and was never contacted again.
Fortunately, there are still deposits in the bank and accounts in the futures market, but Shi Kun no longer dares to try his feelings easily.
Disheartened, Shi Kun, after work, began to travel around, pinning his affection on the mountains and rivers.
In March 2014, in the spring season, Shi Kun was basking in the sun on a beach in Malaysia, but received a call from a middle-aged woman, and it was also a shame that Shi Kun had not changed his mobile phone number for so many years.
The middle-aged woman said that she had taken his money back then, and she had no choice but to suffer, and said that she was pregnant at that time, and the child was born, it was a girl, 5 years old, if Shi Kun didn't believe it, she could go to the DNA test, and then sent a photo of the child.
Shi Kun saw that the girl's eyebrows had a little bit of his own shadow, and he believed it in his heart, so he quickly booked a ticket, who knows, but he caught the world-famous flight 370.
The plane crashed.
A wisp of Skun's remnant wandered for an unknown amount of time, and when he woke up again, he found himself in another old man.
This old man has a wife, a son, and a family, which makes him feel a long-lost warmth. From the conversations of the people around him, he knew that the old man was a rural man, a carpenter, and he had been in a car accident and became what he is now.
Later, Shi Kun found out that he was in September 2009.
Hey, I'm going back to the mainland to confirm whether a 5-year-old girl is my flesh and blood, but how did it become like this? In 2009, I don't know the child's birthday, I don't know if he was born? And I don't know if the 2009 woman can be found at the address in 2014?
Later, his body slowly recovered, his trachea was sutured, and he needed to speak, but Shi Kun didn't know what to do.
Living in Hong Kong for decades, Cantonese has long been ripe, English can be easily dealt with, and BJ is okay as a child, but in the end, the helpless Shi Kun has always been unable to speak the dialect of the people around him, so he has to choose to speak Mandarin.
But unexpectedly, it was still a mistake, and the old man's family began to make all kinds of small actions to drive themselves away.
Shi Kun himself was also very confused, he occupied the old man's body, where did the old man go?
Later, Shi Kun always fainted for a short time inexplicably, and he slowly understood that when he fainted, it should be the old man in charge of the body.
It's just that in the past few days, I have been fainting for longer and longer, and it seems that my good days are coming to an end, perhaps, slowly I will completely lose control of this body and scatter between heaven and earth.
The other person in the body is naturally Carpenter Wang himself.
When Carpenter Wang woke up for the first time, it was late at night, and his relatives around him were asleep, and after a short observation, he fell into a coma again.
Later, the number of times he slowly woke up increased, and the time he woke up became longer, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, but Carpenter Wang found that the relatives around him were strange, and his eyes were full of pity and vigilance.
Carpenter Wang was timid by nature and did not dare to ask at all, and his family never talked about his illness in front of him, and he always fainted inexplicably, Carpenter Wang felt that perhaps he was seriously ill and would die soon.
So he was even more taciturn, and occasionally when he was sober, when his family asked, he didn't say a word, he really asked tightly, at most he nodded and shook his head, or a sigh of grace.
Today, when Wang Zhendong proposed to go to a courtyard, it happened that Shi Kun was in charge of his body, and he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing, so he resolutely did not go.
But later, looking at the peasant woman wiping her eyes and wiping her tears, Shi Kun, who had never enjoyed the warmth of the family, was irritable. Hey, let's go, I've already died once, what can I do at worst?
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Dong received a call from Cheng Jiangfeng, saying that Wang Zhendong and his old father would arrive at Luda Road in a while.
So Mu Dong waited in the courtyard nervously.
At 3 o'clock, a business car entered the yard, the door opened, Cheng Jiangfeng got down first, introduced Wang Zhendong who got off later, and then, "Old Man Wang" was also helped down and sat down in a wheelchair.
As soon as Shi Kun got out of the car, he felt a scorching air in the yard quickly surround him, and before he could take a closer look, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Mu Dong was taken aback, what's the matter? It seems that this old man and the courtyard are not in harmony! As soon as he got out of the car, he fainted, this time he was in big trouble!
A few people in the Wang family are not surprised, the old man has often fainted recently, and he can usually wake up after a while. Several people surrounded the old man, some went to rub the old man's hands, and some went to help rub his chest, and the old lady skillfully pinched the middle of the man.
A few people looked unfazed, and Mu Dong was stunned when he saw it.
A few minutes later, the old man Wang woke up slowly, this time it was Carpenter Wang.
Carpenter Wang looked around the small courtyard and saw that the ground was clean, the small building was crisp, and more than a dozen newly planted tung trees were full of vitality. The most important thing is that Carpenter Wang felt that the cold feeling on his body was gone, and his whole body was warm, and the whole person was like soaking in warm water, which was very comfortable.
He blurted out: "Jie Yuan'er makes up for (this yard is good)!"
The voice is subdued and abrupt, and the standard Ludong dialect is standard.
Mu Dong didn't feel anything, but all the people of the Wang family were collectively petrified!
The old man has been sober for more than ten days, and finally began to speak in tongues!
The old lady wiped away her tears on the spot, Wang Zhendong was at a loss with excitement, and after coming to his senses, he took Mu Dong's hand and said repeatedly: "Boss Mu, Brother Mu, thank you, thank you!"
Only then did Mu Dong know that he had been right, and it seemed that this small courtyard was really a blessed land.
Mrs. Wang happily chatted with the old man in dialect, and discussed with the old man about staying in this small courtyard for a few days, and the old man happily agreed.
Wang Zhendong hurriedly discussed with Mu Dong to choose a room, and then quickly made a few phone calls and sent someone to buy a bed, furniture and some daily necessities.
In the whole small courtyard, there was a lot of joy.
Mu Dong had been carefully observing the old man.
The old man is a standard peasant image, black and thin, with wrinkles and ravines on his face, and he looks very simple and simple.
Mu Dong couldn't imagine what kind of state this person was in when he spoke Mandarin, and he was a little curious in his heart, wondering how he could let him speak Mandarin to listen.
Thinking about it again, I'm really not authentic, don't I look forward to the old man?
Forget it, what does it have to do with what you say? If the old man can recover in this hospital, it will also be a merit.
Wang Zhendong found Mu Dong, and the two talked.
Wang Zhendong, 38 years old, has studied abroad for many years, is a rare young professor at Ludong Medical College, and is a leader in the field of thoracic surgery. He was of moderate stature, fair complexion, had a very short flat head, wore a pair of rimless glasses, and wore a well-tailored suit, typical of an elite person.
He expressed his gratitude to Mu Dong again, and said that he would invite Mu Dong to dinner, showing his intention to continue deep friendship.
Mu Dong is very happy, such an elite, the circle of friends is very tasteful, if he can join in, it will be very beneficial to the future development, Mu Dong happily agreed to Wang Zhendong's invitation.
At five o'clock, furniture and beds were delivered one after another, Wang Zhendong excitedly cleaned up with a few people, and Mu Dong also rushed over to help.
Everyone was busy and elated, and the old man, who had been smiling, fainted again.
A few people in the Wang family were a little surprised, no, they started to speak in tongues, why did they faint again? It seems that they will not be able to fully recover for a while, and several people have strengthened their confidence to continue to live.
After a few people were busy in an orderly manner, Old Man Wang woke up again, this time, it was Shi Kun.
Skun felt that he had been in a coma for a long time this time, which was rarely the case before. He silently observed the people around him, hey, there was an extra young man, he hadn't seen it before.
Shi Kun didn't know what happened during the time he was unconscious. He pondered, it must have been the old man in charge of the body, and he didn't know if he had said anything for so long. He made up his mind that this time he should be cautious, and he would not be able to speak easily, so he shook his head or nodded, or simply said a few words.
He observed Mu Dong intently.
