Chapter 13: The Old Fisherman Eats
(Everyone has the trouble of recommending votes in their hands, thank you.) οΌ
After arriving at the old fisherman, Zhao Gang found a vacant seat and parked the car, then opened the car door with Liu Tao and others and walked out and walked towards the door of the hotel.
The two security guards at the door greeted Zhao Gang very warmly when they saw him. It can be seen that Zhao Gang is a frequent visitor here. Zhao Gang patted one of the security guards on the shoulder and led Liu Tao and the others into the revolving door.
"Brother Gang, why do you have time to come to us for dinner today?" A uniformed waitress saw them come in and hurried forward to receive them.
"I happened to be free today, so I brought my sister and two friends here for dinner. What do you think? Is there a private room? Zhao Gang asked.
"Even if someone else doesn't come, can you still come, Brother Gang? Come upstairs with me. The waitress smiled and turned to head upstairs.
Zhao Gang shook his head with a smile, and walked upstairs while greeting Liu Tao and them.
Soon, they came to the front of one of the private rooms. The waitress skillfully opened the door, and then beckoned Zhao Gang and the others to enter the room and take their seats.
Zhao Gang and others rushed in.
When they were all seated, the waitress took the recipe from the cabinet next to him and put it in front of Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang didn't even look at it, and directly picked it up and put it in front of Liu Tao.
"Today, you two are guests, you can order whatever you want, you don't need to be polite." Zhao Gang said with a smile. You must know that Liu Tao and Zhang Liang saved Zhao Lan's life, if it weren't for the two of them, maybe by the time the ambulance arrived there, Zhao Lan had stopped breathing. Therefore, in his eyes, Liu Tao and Zhang Liang are already his friends.
Liu Tao was not polite at the moment, and ordered a braised eggplant and a shredded pork with Beijing sauce. Then, he handed the recipe to Zhang Liang, who ordered a fish pot slice and handed the recipe to Zhao Lan, who ordered a fried broccoli and spicy fried clams. In the end, the recipe returned to Zhao Gang again.
"Do you two drink? Would you like some beer? Zhao Gang asked as he returned the recipe to the waiter.
Liu Tao and Zhang Liang shook their heads.
"That's it. Sue sΓΉ kitchen hurry up. Zhao Gang smiled at the waiter and said.
"Yes." As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he put the recipe back in its place and walked out.
"Liu Tao, Zhang Liang, looking at the age of the two of you, you should still be in school, right?" Zhao Gang said as he stood up and poured them tea.
"Yes. We are students in the third year of high school in No. 4. Liu Tao nodded and replied.
"I didn't expect you to be a senior in high school. My sister is also a senior in high school. However, some time ago, there was something wrong with my body, so I temporarily recuperated at home. Zhao Gang said this and glanced at his precious sister.
"When I was in the hospital just now, Zhao Lan had already sued us. Brother Gang, I just heard you chatting with that doctor, it seems that Zhao Lan's surgery can only be done in hospitals in Beijing, is that true? Liu Tao asked with interest.
"Yes." Zhao Gang nodded and said: "To be precise, it is not only a hospital in Beijing that can do it, but only a ** in Beijing can do it, and at present, there is only one doctor who can do this operation." Therefore, it is necessary to make an appointment in advance. I had asked my boss's friend in Beijing to help me make an appointment in advance, and the other party told me that it would take three months before I could have surgery. β
"It's late March. If it was three months later, wouldn't Zhao Lan be able to take the college entrance examination? Liu Tao said with a frown.
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "In principle, this is the case. I'm going to take care of the relationship when the time comes, and see if I can get her through the medical examination. If she passes the physical examination, then she can take the college entrance examination smoothly. By the time I go to the university, the surgery should have been completed, and there will be no problems with the re-examination. β
"That's a really good idea. However, does such an operation cost a lot of money? Liu Tao then asked.
"At least that." Zhao Gang stretched out his right palm as he spoke, and shook it towards Liu Tao and the others.
"Fifty thousand?" Liu Tao guessed. He thinks that for an operation, 50,000 yuan should be about the same.
Zhao Gang shook his head and said with a smile: "Five hundred thousand." β
"Five hundred thousand? No way? Does it cost so much to have an operation? Liu Tao asked in surprise. For him, a junior in high school, 500,000 is simply an astronomical amount.
"500,000 is not much. If it doesn't matter, even if there are 500,000, it may not be able to be ranked. Zhao Gang said.
"Brother, do you have so much money?" At this time, Zhao Lan asked beside her.
"I have almost 200,000 in my hand. By the time you have surgery, you'll be able to save up to 300,000. For the remaining 200,000 yuan, I have already said hello to the boss and borrowed him when the time comes. When you finish the operation, I'll make money to pay him back. Zhao Gang said with a smile. In the past, when Zhao Lan was healthy, he rarely saved money, and basically squandered the money he earned every month, and the money he started saving after Zhao Lan fell ill.
"Brother, it's me who has caused you trouble. Otherwise, the money can give you a daughter-in-law. When Zhao Lan said this, tears flowed down unconsciously.
"Lan Lan, what are you talking about. If you want to find a daughter-in-law, you don't have to spend money. I'm busy with work all day now, even if I find a daughter-in-law, how can I have time to spend with her. Wait for two years, and when I make another amount of money, I will find you a sister-in-law and live a down-to-earth life. Zhao Gang saw his sister crying, and hurriedly persuaded him.
When he was 17 years old, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him and his sister to rely on each other. Since then, he has not gone to school, but dropped out of school to work to provide for his sister's education. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed, and he has grown from an ignorant teenager to a young man who dares to fight, and has gained a firm foothold in this city with his fists. And Zhao Lan has also grown from a little girl who often hugs him and cries and shouts for her parents to a slim girl, and this family has finally seen the sunshine.
"Brother, that's what you said. If I can't see my sister-in-law in two years, I'll settle accounts with you. Zhao Lan took the tissue handed over by Liu Tao and wiped the tears on her face, and said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." Zhao Gang readily agreed.
At this time, the meal begins to be served. Zhao Gang beckoned Liu Tao and they moved their chopsticks.
The meal was very enjoyable. Maybe it's because there are two more peers who are the same age as herself at the dinner table, and the number of times Zhao Lan laughs has increased significantly. Bursts of laughter rang out from time to time throughout the room.
After eating, Zhao Gang, Liu Tao and others left the private room and came downstairs. Then, Zhao Gang went to settle the account, and then the group left the old fisherman.
