Chapter 35: Strategies for Helping
Seeing Guan Xuelian's voice rising suddenly, her face was full of panic, Luo Han was stunned, and the right hand on her waist stopped.
At this time, it is not suitable to eat tofu again.
However, Guan Xuelian only urged such a sentence, and there was a subtle explanation on the phone, which should be good news, so the beauty's face slowly eased again, and after the voice on the phone stopped, she was obviously relieved, and complained: "Mom, you are still the same old problem, and you don't talk about the key points for a long time!" It almost scared the hell out of me! Dad's poison must have been completely cured, right? …… That's good! So, do you want me to come back, or what? Oh......, okay, I haven't bought it either, but I can try to ask my classmates. …… Yes? No, I still have some money in my hand, besides, it's to buy things for my dad, not for others, so why do I need you to send it! …… Well, I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”
Then, Guan Xuelian pressed the end button, and her face fell into contemplation.
Luo Han looked at her with concern: "What? Your dad was bitten by a five-step snake? ”
Seeing that the concern between his eyebrows and eyes was not pretentious at all, thinking about his life experience, Guan Xuelian's heart warmed, and she explained softly: "Hmm! Our family is in the countryside, and my dad started to resell wild five-step snakes a few years ago in order to save money for my brother to buy a house. This time I took my brother to practice in the field, but my brother accidentally startled a five-step snake, and in order to save him, my dad was bitten by a snake. ”
"Ahh Luo Han gasped: "The five-step snake is very venomous! ”
According to legend, if you are bitten by this kind of snake, you will fall in five steps, so it is called "five-step snake", which shows that the poisonous surname is extremely strong.
Guan Xuelian nodded: "Fortunately, my dad has always been doing this, and he always has first-aid medicine on his body, so he can save himself as soon as possible, and my brother is quite calm, and he sent my dad to the county hospital in time and took a special antidote serum." Now the snake venom has been removed, but it has lost too much blood and its vitality is greatly damaged. My mom called and asked me to help see if I could buy wild ginseng. ”
"Oh!" Luo Han listened very smoothly and nodded subconsciously: "Buy ginseng!" Then he suddenly woke up: "Huh? Buying wild ginseng? ”
This...... That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
Guan Xuelian misunderstood: "Yes, the doctor originally suggested that my mother buy some ordinary ginseng at the Chinese medicine pharmacy, but it took too long, and it would take 1 year to slowly make up for it." My mom has a friend who works as a Chinese medicine practitioner and said that wild ginseng that is more than 10 years old can be shortened by two times, so my mom plans to buy some wild ginseng. We are a small county town, and there is no goods at all, so I have to think of a way. ”
"You?" Luo Hanle said: "Then what are you going to do?" Go to the pharmacy to buy it? ”
Although there are wild ginseng sold in pharmacies, most of them are a few years old, and the price is also high, there are seven or eight thousand, and there are not necessarily 10 years old, and even if there is, the price must be at least tens of thousands.
Guan Xuelian has only graduated for a year, even if she enters Wuliu Environmental Protection as soon as she graduates, how much money can she save in a year?
But it can't be said explicitly.
Guan Xuelian looked at her watch and shook her head: "It's almost nine o'clock now, and the general pharmacies should have closed, and it's easy to buy fake medicines in a panic." Let me ask my classmates first! ”
With that, she started pressing the numbers on her phone.
Seeing her worried look, Luo Han's heart began to be entangled.
He naturally doesn't have real wild ginseng, but the three round ginseng plants planted in his room must have been transformed into wild ginseng that is at least 10 years old, and it is not difficult to take it out. It's just that he wants to admit it now?
If this happened to the dean's grandmother or Chen Xiao, Luo Han would definitely take out a wild ginseng plant immediately without hesitation, and talk about it after the emergency, as for the excuse, it is not too late to make it up slowly after the matter is over.
But Guan Xuelian is different from these two.
Although he has already planned to officially pursue Guan Xuelian, Luo Han knows that people's hearts are always insufficient, and things that are too easy to get are often not so cherished. If she easily took out a wild ginseng plant, would Sister Guan, who had not suffered the slightest setback, mistakenly think that this thing was easy to buy in Deep Sea City, and ignore her own help?
And if she waits for her to call all over the phone, but she is still frustrated and has nothing, as long as she pretends to be hard and takes out a wild ginseng plant before tomorrow morning, I believe that Sister Guan's gratitude to herself will immediately rise a lot, right?
However, such an approach is inevitably contrived.
Moreover, I don't know what Sister Guan's economic strength is, and whether she has enough funds in her hands? After all, the wild ginseng of the past 10 years or so should also be in stock in large pharmacies, but the price is relatively high.
After hesitating for a moment, seeing that Guan Xuelian had already made the first call, Luo Han quickly made a decision.
In order to keep the ability a secret, you still have to pretend!
As Luo Han expected, Guan Xuelian called 6 classmates in a row, but none of them dared to boast that she had bought wild ginseng that was more than 10 years old. I don't know if I really can't help it, or I'm afraid that the relationship is not hard, and I will lose face by buying fakes. Even Li Na, who still has a little relationship in Shenhai City, was at a loss when she heard this request for help, saying that if it was a few years of wild ginseng, she might be able to help, but it would take more than 10 years, and she couldn't help. The hope in Guan Xuelian's eyes dimmed little by little with the passage of time.
However, she was also the one who made up her mind immediately, and soon called her direct supervisor to ask for a day off and was going to go to the pharmacy tomorrow.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Luo Han pondered for a while, but still volunteered: "That's it, I'll help you ask when I go back!" Don't overthink it, get some rest first. ”
Guan Xuelian nodded silently, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Luo Han sighed secretly, opened the door and took the mineral water twice, poured it into the four pots of ginseng and the surrounding pothos spider plant, and did not give the fan and humidifier a chance to rest, so he retreated and returned to Bailu County.
It was supposed to be a very meaningful day, but because of this sudden bad news, he was helplessly ruined the sweet atmosphere it should have, and it was useless for him to stay any longer, and he might add more trouble, so it was better to come back and discuss with Chen Xiao about this wild ginseng.
As soon as he entered the solid wood gate of the Bailu County villa, before he had time to change his shoes, Chen Xiao, who was leisurely watching TV in the living room, asked suspiciously: "Why did you come back?" ”
Chen Xiao knew that the finance department had dinner tonight, and he also knew that Guan Xuelian was involved, and he also wondered if the two would play until the clock turned when they were happy.
"Just eating, how long can you play!" Luo Han changed into slippers, gave him an angry look, slowly walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up a piece of cut melon from the fruit bowl in front of him, and took a hard bite: "Neither of us is like you, a night owl." ”
"Alas, other colleagues go home after eating, you and Guan Meinu can continue! Just to get the talk away. Chen Xiao grabbed another piece of bright red watermelon disappreciatively, counted two sentences, and put it in his mouth.
"It's open!" After enjoying the sweet and juicy, he swallowed the drunken melon, and Luo Han didn't plan to hide it from him: "I was already at the dinner table, in front of Hu Liang, the head of the entire finance department and the personnel department, and openly asked her out to watch the movie, and she agreed, that's enough, other things can be done step by step." I believe that after tonight, within a week, most of the people in the head office will think that she and I are a couple. ”
"Huh?" Chen Xiao was quite surprised. It's actually at the dinner table, openly stating it?
But on second thought, this is quite in line with Rohan's surname, everything is above board.
He immediately smiled: "I'll just say, Guan Meinu must be interesting to you, maybe it's love at first sight, otherwise, how could she take the initiative to block you at the door of the company in the first place?" It takes a lot of courage! ”
Rohan smiled, too lazy to argue with him about it. Since he and Guan Xuelian have developed to this point, it doesn't matter who looked for whom first and who was tempted first. As long as the two love each other, care about each other, and don't care too much about who suffers, this relationship can develop smoothly.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, don't mention it in front of her if it's okay in the future. The girl's face is tender, if you are annoyed and angry, your life will not be good. ”
Chen Xiao pouted: "Do you think I'm that stupid?" By the way, since she has agreed to watch a movie with you, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and cultivate more feelings? What time is it and you're back? ”
Luo Han glared at him angrily: "You think I don't want to?" Something happened to her family temporarily, and it was not appropriate for me to stay any longer, so I came back to discuss with you. Can you help me inquire about Xia Guan Xuelian's current salary? I'm going to know now. ”
Chen Xiao was surprised: "What's wrong?" At the same time, he picked up his mobile phone and began to look up the number.
"Well, I'll talk about it when you ask."
Soon, Chen Xiao made two phone calls one after another, the surprise in his eyes became more and more prevalent, and when the call ended, he looked at Luo Han with some sympathy: "I asked the director of the personnel department, like Guan Xuelian, the basic salary is 3500, plus housing allowance, food subsidy, transportation subsidy, etc., there is 4500, and then every month it will be based on the number of words they translate, and the normal monthly income fluctuates around 6000-7000, and you can get 9000 to 10,000 when you are busy." ”
Luo Han gasped.
