Chapter 004: Sweep the floor and go out
"Don't you ask the lady to eat?" I asked deliberately, looking at the simple but hearty meal in front of me.
"She can't get off the ground, I'll feed her later, I have coarse tea and light food here, don't dislike it. The old man said with some guilt.
"Why, it's delicious. I said and took a few bites of food.
After the meal, the old man went to feed the eldest mother, and I came to the medicine jar again, urging with true qi, speeding up the boiling time.
"I have a guest at home today, and if it weren't for him, I don't know when I would have been able to come back. ”
"We don't have any good things at home, but don't let them go hungry. ”
"Don't worry, the young man is very nice, he likes the food I cooked. ”
"People are afraid that it will be embarrassing. ”
"No, no, this young man is fine, he helped you boil your medicine. ”
"It's a pity that I can't get off the ground, otherwise I should really get up and thank people, if not, I will slaughter our old hen, this coarse tea and light rice, how embarrassing. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two elders, I was particularly moved, not because they were kind, but because they never gave up, and I unconsciously remembered Liu Wei.
"Uncle, my mother's medicine is boiled. "I walked to the second old man's room with the medicine.
If I don't show up again, the old man is afraid that he will really go and slaughter the only old hen in the yard for me to eat.
"Thank you, I can't get off the ground, auntie, I can't entertain you in person, don't mind. The eldest lady on the couch said in a weak voice.
"How can it be, my uncle's cooking is delicious, auntie, come, you drink this medicine while it's hot." I said as I handed the medicine in my hand to the uncle who was sitting in front of the bed.
"Son, are you married? If a girl marries you, she will be happy. The eldest lady said with a smile.
"Not yet. I said with a wry smile.
"Such a good young man, how can he not have a family? Later, the uncle will take you to look around the village, and if you like any girl, the uncle will tell you and make peace. The old man took over and said.
"How can people take a fancy to a small place like us, I think you are old and confused. The eldest lady scolded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I drank the medicine. The uncle said and put the decoction to his mouth and blew it gently, and then handed it to the eldest lady's mouth.
Looking at the warm scene in front of me, I was really moved, I didn't leave in a hurry, just because this was my first time treating and saving people, to be honest, I was still a little worried.
Seeing that the eldest lady took the medicine, I slowly walked to the second elder's side.
"Uncle, auntie, if you don't mind, I want to give aunt a pulse. I said.
"Do you know this, young man?" asked the eldest lady in surprise.
"No, when I was in the mountains, he helped me find these medicinal herbs. Uncle said happily.
"Then you give the eldest lady a number to see if I can get better from this disease. The eldest lady said with a smile.
I smiled and nodded, half-squatted on the edge of the bed, and gently put my hand on my mother's wrist.
I could feel that the chaotic aura in the eldest lady's body was gradually calming down, which showed that my modified potion was indeed working wonders.
Early tomorrow morning, the eldest mother should be able to walk on the ground.
"How is it?" the old man had been nervously silent, and only after I had withdrawn my hand did he ask excitedly.
"Uncle, your medicine has worked, and my mother's illness will be cured soon. I said with a smile.
"Really? Ouch, we've really met a noble person this time. Uncle said and stood up and took my hand excitedly.
After making sure that the eldest lady was in good health, it was time for me to leave, and I politely refused the kindness of the second elder to stay with me for two days, but I still couldn't refuse the old man's determination to send me away.
The old man was very popular in the village, and soon found me a young man who was about to enter the city, and I stepped on the young man's motorcycle and said goodbye to the old man.
It's just that I didn't see it, the old man transformed into the appearance of a master, smiled and nodded at my distant back.
It was getting late in the town, and I had to wait for the bus tomorrow morning to leave, so I had to find a small hotel to stay in.
Only then did I dare to turn on the phone, and as soon as I turned it on, the screen of the overwhelming text messages popped up.
One of the most terrible was receiving a notice of dismissal from the company.
My monthly salary is 4,000, and my monthly mortgage is 3,000, and I don't have any extra money in my card, and if I don't get my salary next month, my mortgage will not be repaid.
When I was having a headache, a phone call came in, it was my mother.
"You kid, why did you disappear for so long? Answering the phone, the anxious voice of the mother came.
"The company wanted to give me a promotion, so I closed the training for a while. "I had to prevaricate.
"Really? That's great, your dad and I are just waiting to hold our grandson. Mother said happily.
"Ask him when he's going to be back. Father's deep voice came from the side.
"Your father asked you when you would come back, and by the way, I brought my daughter-in-law back, and my mother made you something to eat. Mother said happily.
Of course I can't say it, Liu Wei and I have broken up, let alone that I have been fired from the company, and I can't say that next month's mortgage may not be settled.
"I've just been promoted, and I have too many things on my hands to leave, so I'll be back after a while." "I can only lie.
"Okay, then you have to take care of your body, your dad and I have already taken care of the day, the eighteenth of next month is a good day, hurry up and get your marriage done, and your dad and I will rest assured." Mother said.
"Mom, let's take it slowly, Liu Wei will be arranged to go on a business trip next month, and it is estimated that she will go for ten days and half a month. I said.
"Then how can it be done, this good day misses one less day, aren't you a leader? Anyway, you are a unit, you change the time, that's it, next month eighteen, you can't delay it any longer, you have been together for five years.." Mother kept saying.
But my mind has already drifted to the clouds, what happened to me this month can be described as earth-shattering, but none of the things I have experienced can be said to my mother.
I hung up the phone in a daze, I lay in bed but couldn't sleep, I simply meditated and practiced.
As soon as the morning dawned, I still rushed to the station in the town, but fortunately it was not far from the city, and I had to rush back to the company to fight again.
As soon as I entered the office building, I didn't even bother to wait for the elevator, and ran directly to the 20th floor by stairs, but I didn't notice that it took less than a minute to take me to the 20th floor.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the little girl at the front desk, I rushed directly to the manager's room, but the person sitting at the desk when I pushed the door open instantly made me feel inspired.
"Why are you back?" Liu Wei's arrogant voice was still a little displeased.
"What's wrong with you?" I looked at the name tag on the table with some puzzlement, and Liu Wei's name was indeed written on the manager's position.
"General Manager. Before Liu Wei could reply, a greeting came from behind her.
"You kid still have the face to come back?" the general manager's voice sounded behind me.
"General manager, you listen to me.." I hurriedly turned around and wanted to regain my position.
"No need to explain, you can be fired if you are absent from work for three days without reason, but you have been absent from work for a whole month without reason, do you know how much damage your behavior has caused to the company?"
"General manager, I really need this job, I have elderly people at home, and I have to pay the mortgage.." I whispered a plea, but he interrupted me again.
"Now that you know how important this job is to you, and you still treat your job like this, I don't want to listen to your explanation anymore, your name will appear on the blacklist of enterprises in this city, and you don't want any more companies to hire you. The general manager said loudly.
My former lover was sitting at the manager's desk at the moment and didn't say a word, but I still pinned my last hope on her, and I hoped that she could help me say a few good words.
But the four eyes met in exchange for an angry gaze, with my cultivation, I could completely feel her hostility, and at this moment, Liu Wei in front of me had no emotion for me at all.
"Don't expect Xiaowei to help you intercede, your behavior is unforgivable, if it weren't for Xiaowei's business proficiency, how many customers would we have to lose because of your negligence?" said the general manager and walked to Liu Wei's side.
Liu Wei hurriedly stood up obediently, and the general manager's hand was on Liu Wei's shoulder.
Mortals can't see it with the naked eye, but I can clearly see the aura between them, and they are clearly a pair of underground lovers.
