Chapter 16: After-effects
Because I knew that this hot pot restaurant was opened by my junior high school classmate Sun Jingya's family, I suddenly felt a little bad and went to Sun Guanglin to ask for debts.
We were standing in the kitchen doorway, chatting about what had happened over the years.
After graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to the first middle school in the city, while I could only go to the third middle school, and it was basically difficult for everyone to meet. In addition, I went to prison before finishing the last semester of my freshman year of high school, which was five years, and I knew very little about the outside world.
She didn't know anything about me, just now she thought I was very similar to a junior high school classmate of hers, but she didn't like walking, she didn't want to ask, but she still couldn't help it, so she asked, but I didn't expect it to be me.
"Your feet...... Healed?" asked Sun Jingya.
"Well, healed ninety percent. ”
"The reason for your external figure, since it is not genetic, should be affected by external forces when you were a child, such as the lack of calcium in the body, the calcium content of the bone itself is low, coupled with the pressure on the bones when walking and standing, it is easy to make the bilateral iliac joints appear outward, forming the outer figure-of-eight feet. ”
Sun Jingya talked eloquently, and also said other reasons, and knew more than me.
"How do you know so much?" I wondered.
"I studied medicine and am now studying at Southern Medical University. Sun Jingya said with a smile.
"No wonder. ”
"You're fine, but you're still a little lame when you walk, because the force is forcing your feet straight, right?"
"Yes. I nodded, and she was right.
"Actually, you can walk like a normal person now, but in this case, your iliac joints and knee joints will rub together and cause pain, and you dare not walk straight, which is the sequelae of external forces forcing you to straighten your feet. ”
Sun Jingya continued: "Moreover, if you don't treat it for a long time, your two joints will still have pain, this time mainly depends on the degree of wear and tear on your joints, if you don't exercise vigorously and don't do heavy work, then when you are forty or fifty years old, osteoporosis may be painful, but if you are stressed too much, it may start to break out in three or five years." ”
"Can that be cured?"
"Surgery is required, and this operation is still very difficult, at present, there are only a handful of people in China who dare to do this kind of surgery, because a little carelessness may make you disabled for life, and you can no longer walk, the main thing is that you are still forced to straighten by external forces, and the risk will be greater. Sun Jingya analyzed.
"That's fate, it's good now. I sighed.
"When I was in junior high school, I found that your mentality was much better than others. Sun Jingya smiled.
"People are like this, if the mentality is not good, then how can they live?" I laughed.
"By the way, what are you looking for my dad? I almost forgot about it. Sun Jingya playfully stuck out her tongue, and before I could answer, she shouted into the kitchen: "Dad, my classmate has something to do with you." ”
Soon, a slightly haggard middle-aged man walked out, he was Sun Guanglin, and he was still wearing a chef's uniform, it seemed that he was a boss and a chef again.
"Dad, this is my junior high school classmate Wu Feng. Sun Jingya introduced.
"Hello uncle. I shouted politely.
"Mr. Wu, what are you looking for me?" Sun Guanglin also said politely.
"Uh...... Well, I think it tastes pretty good, and I want to open this kind of shop myself, so I want to come and learn from it, or let's talk inside?"
"Wu Feng, you really want to open it, my dad is trying to transfer it. Sun Jingya said with a smile.
"Hah...... What a coincidence. I was embarrassed.
"Mr. Wu, let's go to the office and talk. Sun Guanglin made a gesture of invitation and took me to the lounge, and when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly said to his daughter: "Xiaoya, you go and see if the guests need to add some soup or something." ”
"I'll go right away. After Sun Jingya finished speaking, she told me that she was making hot pot, her father was an old man, and asked her father if it was right.
I politely said thank you, and followed Sun Guanglin into the lounge, everyone sat down, I took out a cigarette, handed him one, and lit it for him.
He took a sip and said, "Mr. Wu, since you are Jingya's classmate, I won't hide it from you, the business of this hot pot restaurant is not good, if you want to go next, you have to have a little background, otherwise it will be difficult to open it, otherwise it will really be transferred to you, and it will also trap you." ”
This is very sincere, and it can also be seen that Sun Guanglin is a kind person.
"Uncle, just call me Xiao Feng. I also took a puff of cigarette and continued: "What the hell is going on, can my uncle tell me about it? Jingya is my classmate, she took good care of me when I was in junior high school, if she has any difficulties, I will definitely help." ”
"Also, I think my uncle is also a sensible person, and he should know that I didn't come to learn cooking, so I broke up with classmate Sun, right?"
"Seeing that you were a little embarrassed just now, I guessed that you didn't come to learn art, so I opened Xiaoya......?
"I'm here to collect the debt. I replied truthfully and took out my IOU.
When Sun Guanglin heard this, his brows furrowed, and his face was obviously a little contemptuous and disgusted, it seemed that he hated bastards. Of course, most people hate gangsters, and I don't blame him.
"You wait!" Sun Guanglin got up and walked outside, came back soon, took out a small amount of money, and handed it to me: "There are 30,000 yuan here, which is all the money I can take out now, you can take it back, tell Brother Qiang, give me another ten days, if I can't get the money, I will transfer the store, and pay it all off at that time." ”
"It's only 30,000 yuan, and it's not even enough interest. Xu Kai, who had not spoken, complained.
I glared at Xu Kai fiercely, this guy shrunk his neck, not daring to say more. I didn't take the money, but continued: "Uncle, can you tell me about the difficulties you have encountered? I think maybe I can help." ”
"I got it. After Sun Guanglin finished speaking, he walked to the door, opened the door, and continued: "I still have to do things, so I won't send two of them." By the way, if Mr. Wu really wants to help me, then don't mention the loan shark to my daughter, she doesn't know about the family's difficulties, if she does, she will definitely not be able to study with peace of mind, can Mr. Wu promise me?"
This was an eviction order, and we were driven away.
Xu Kai wanted to say something, but I glared at him again, and he could only shut up.
"Okay, I promise Uncle Sun. After I finished speaking, I left the lounge, and when I passed by the counter, I took out the money, paid the bill, and left.
"Brother Feng, it's only 30,000 yuan, only one-tenth, and the interest is not enough, so I can't pay it back. Moreover, they open a hot pot restaurant, it is impossible to say that they have no money, right?" Xu Kai couldn't help it at this time.
"Well, we don't know if he has money or not, but I think he's a kind guy. ”
"Who is sure of the way of this world? Sometimes the more honest a person looks, the more terrible it is, and the city is deep. ”
"It's hard to decide whether he is a good person or not, but I know that Sun Guanglin is a good father, didn't I listen to what he just said? His daughter doesn't know the difficulties at home at all, no matter how big the storm is, no matter how big the difficulties, he also carries it alone, so that his daughter is carefree, this is a great father. I said in a deep voice.
"And what about our accounts?"
"The money thing is easy to do, but the other problem is difficult, if we can't get it back, Brother Qiang will send someone else, and then Sun Guanglin and them will be as unlucky. "That's what I'm worried about.
We are talking well this time, but others go, but not necessarily. Especially Sun Guanglin's daughter is so beautiful, some of the guys who ask for debts are beasts, if they see Sun Jingya inside, they don't care about anything, if something happens to Sun Jingya, then her life may be ruined.
Moreover, the 30,000 yuan is really difficult to deliver.
After thinking about it, I said, "In this way, let's take out the money we earned during this period for the time being, you take 10,000, I take 20,000, plus these 30,000, if you make up enough for 60,000, you can barely make up the difference." ”
"Brother Feng, you won't take a fancy to your classmate, will you? Although she is very beautiful, but if Sun Guanglin goes bankrupt, or he doesn't admit it, then our money will also be put in, is it worth it? Also, just now he obviously didn't want us to help, and looked down on us bastards, if we were kind enough to be treated as donkey liver, wouldn't it be miserable?" Xu Kai was a little unhappy.
"Long-winded! Do you want to pay or not?"
"No...... Okay?"
I shook my head, "No." ”
Xu Kai: "......"
