238 Difficult for Men [Happy Birthday Big Baby!]
It's hard for men
Through the chatter answer of the grocery aunt, I know the general situation of Guo Han, he and his wife moved into this alley about a year ago, at that time Guo Han ran a car repair shop nearby, his daughter-in-law worked as a nurse in the central hospital, and the young couple moved to this "slum" because they wanted to buy a house.
But just a few months ago, Guo Hande's daughter-in-law suddenly fainted when she was at work, and after a doctor's examination, she learned that she had a rare heart disease, so Guo Han spent all the money they were going to use to buy a house, and quietly mortgaged the car repair shop, and almost all the money was thrown into the hospital, but there was still no effect, the wife's body became weaker and weaker, and they had no spare money to live in the hospital anymore...
I don't know what kind of mood Guo Han and his wife felt when they made the decision to "give up treatment", but when I heard these four words from the old lady's mouth, I was so sad that I almost wanted to cry.
This is the most real world in the eyes of the people at the bottom of the society, in this world, for a house, in order to create a so-called home for us and the people we love, how many people are frugal, and how many people are in debt, and they are still thinking about how to repay their debts until they die, the poor can't afford to get sick, they can't afford to live in a house, all they can do is live carefully.
Separated from the old lady from the nearby vegetable market, I quietly walked back to the entrance of the alley near Guo Han's house, and Zhang Xiaoyu leaned against the street lamp with red eyes and waited for me.
"Let's get out of here. I glanced at the gatehouse of Guo Han's house and dragged Zhang Xiaoyu to the outside of the alley.
I walked all the way to the door of a grocery store, and after I went in and bought a pack of cigarettes, I asked Zhang Xiaoyu, "What is the situation you are inquiring about?"
"The two of them have a hard time, Guo Han's wife is almost not human, I said that I am their new neighbor, her wife is very happy, probably the family has not been a guest for a long time, she dragged me to chat for a long time, and told me that Guo Han works in a large auto parts company, every day is very busy, and often works overtime at night..."Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes are red again when he speaks" Do you remember the string of lychees that Guo Han bought when he came back, because today is his wife's birthday, and his wife likes to eat lychees very much, but now he basically can't eat them, so Guo Han peeled off the skin and pounded all the lychees into juice with a rolling pin and fed them to his wife..."
"Alas..."I sighed, stroked Zhang Xiaoyu's back and comforted, "Let's go back and shake slowly, and we'll come over tomorrow to send him some money." ”
At this time, I saw Guo Han pushing his bicycle out of the alley, and hurriedly dragged Zhang Xiaoyu into the grocery store.
Guo Han walked very slowly, pushed his bicycle until he walked to the farmer's market where the aunt took me before, parked the car in front of a grain and oil store, and walked in.
A short time a truck full of flour drove by, and I saw Guo Han take off his coat and walk out of the store with an apron on.
Began to unload from the car, full of flour, he unloaded a person to the store, the whole process lasted nearly two hours, during which he rested once, after smoking half a cigarette, he sweated hard again, in the cold winter weather of the moon a man wearing only a single shirt, hot head white gas, you can imagine how much sweat he shed.
Not long after unloading the flour, Guo Han walked out of the grain and oil store again, carefully patted the flour on his body, bent down to wipe his leather shoes, and pushed the bicycle back with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, go and ask the owner of the grain and oil store about Guo Han!" Unconsciously, my mentality has undergone a subtle change, originally I just wanted to find a thug for myself to watch the scene, but when I learned about Guo Han, I actually had an urge to help him, probably because we are both small people struggling at the bottom of society.
"Big brother, what did that buddy who helped unload the goods just now? I think he is very powerful, recently my relatives have a batch of goods and are worried that no one can help!" Walking into the grain and oil store, I handed the grain and oil store owner a cigarette and asked with a smile.
"You say Guo Zi, there must be no problem to find him, he is real, reliable, and the charges are very reasonable, we need to unload the whole street to find him, if you need, I will give you his phone!" The owner of the grain and oil store happily took my cigarette, took out his mobile phone and read the phone number to me, and after a few words with him, I left with Zhang Xiaoyu.
Sitting in the taxi back to "Slow Rock", I stared at Guo Han's phone number and muttered to myself, "What kind of person are you? A big ruffian in the eyes of workers, an honest man in the mouth of a neighbor, and a good helper in the mouth of an employer..."
"And the good husband in the wife's heart, don't you know that when she talks about Guo Han, her daughter-in-law's eyes are full of pride, as if her husband is really a treasure like no other in the world..."Zhang Xiaoyu sighed softly, "It's really difficult for this man to live..."
"The real love that is inseparable from each other may be the inseparable companionship of life and death!" Zhang Xiaoyu sighed.
"Give me all the cash you have, you go back to shake slowly, I want to go to Guo Han's house again!" I shouted to stop the taxi, took a wad of banknotes from Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, jumped out of the car and took a taxi to go back to Guo Han's place.
When I passed by a cake shop, I went to order a big cake, and after that, I bought some cooked food and a few cans of beer from the supermarket and went straight to Guo Han's house.
"Knock knock..."I knocked lightly on the door of Guo Han's house.
"Wait a minute, it's coming..."Guo Han's gentle voice came out from inside, which was completely different from the cold man he saw during the day.
Guo Han opened the wooden door with a smile on his face, and when he saw that it was me outside, his brows quickly wrinkled, and he consciously wanted to close the door, I stuck my foot in the crack of the door, and squeezed in cheekily, "Brother Guo, I heard you say that today is my sister-in-law's birthday during the day, and I rushed over this time non-stop..."
"Ahem... Who's coming, husband?" asked a weak female voice from the bedroom behind Guo Han.
"It's okay wife, it's my colleague... Talk to me about some work matters, and leave immediately..."Guo Han glanced at me threateningly, turned back to the bedroom and answered, and after speaking, he pushed my body impatiently and drove me outside.
"Why did you just come and leave, Guo Zi is not allowed to be so rude, let your colleagues come to the house to warm up for a while!" The female voice in the room was slightly displeased.
"Okay, sister-in-law, is it easy to get in?" I shouted, raising my voice.
"Convenient, convenient, come in," the inside responded.
Ignoring Guo Han's almost murderous eyes, I opened the curtain and walked in, and as soon as I walked into the bedroom, I was coughed out by the pungent Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of coal fire.
The furnishings in the bedroom are very simple, or not at all, near the corner is a simple double bed, and in the center of the room is a half-meter-high briquette stove, on which is a small porcelain pot that is "gurgling" and bubbling, and the pungent smell is coming from the pot.
There was a plastic basin on the bed, just now it should have been Guo Han helping her daughter-in-law wash her feet, looking at the bed, I was almost startled, a thin woman with yellow hair and white skin leaned on the head of the bed, half lying on the bed, puffing up her high cheekbones and smiling at me, before Zhang Xiaoyu said that Guo Han's daughter-in-law was skinny, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it is true.
"Sister-in-law, your body...", I wanted to say, "It's okay!" but half of the sentence was swallowed back by myself, and I was a little embarrassed to lift the cake in my hand and said to her, "I heard Brother Guo say that today is your birthday during the day, and I happened to pass by and bought a cake to help you celebrate your birthday..."
"I can't eat anything now, but thank you for your kindness..."The woman was so weak that even the simple action of shaking her head looked extremely laborious.
"Sister-in-law, how do you need to treat your illness to get better?" I looked at the woman on the bed with great sadness.
"It's not better, the doctor said the heart needs to be replaced... A heart that matches my blood type is sky-high... Ahem..."Guo Han's wife coughed incessantly as she spoke.
"Is it possible to cure it as long as you have money?" I asked hurriedly.
[Happy birthday baby, happy every day!]
