Three days passed in a flash, Lin Tao sat in the office and calculated in his spare time, this was the third week he had come to Yangcheng, and the people he had come into contact with and what happened in these three weeks made him feel more than he had experienced in the past few years in the army.

Knock knock knock......

The door of the office was knocked on from the outside, interrupting Lin Tao's train of thought at once.

"Come in!"

Lin Tao sat up straight and shouted towards the door.

The door was pushed open, and the burly Fan Xiaojun walked in from inside, squeezed out a smile at Lin Tao, and said, "Brother Tao, I'm here to report." ”

Lin Tao stood up from the boss's chair with a smile and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, I heard that the security guard Lao Chen went back to your hometown to see your father?" Well, your father's illness is fine, right? ”

Fan Xiaojun didn't sit down, just stood there, and smiled with an unnatural expression: "No...... It's okay, Brother Tao, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Lin Tao knew that he was lying when he saw Fan Xiaojun's expression, so he asked tentatively, "What kind of disease does your father have?" ”

"Lung cancer!" When Fan Xiaojun came out with the word lung cancer, he trembled a little, obviously suppressing his emotions.

Lin Tao was slightly shocked, if it was lung cancer, even if he was superb in traditional Chinese medicine, he couldn't help it, sighed softly, and continued to ask: "Early or late?" ”

Fan Xiaojun sighed heavily, and said weakly: "In the late stage, it was already in the middle stage when it was originally examined, and the family had no money for treatment, so it was delayed until the late stage." ”

Although Lin Tao had no father or mother since he was a child, he could understand Fan Xiaojun's mood at this time, so he walked next to him, patted him lightly on the shoulder to show comfort, and then said with a straight face: "You go back first, now your father needs you to take care of it, I am not busy here for the time being, and taking care of your father is your top priority." ”

Fan Xiaojun scratched his head and said curtly: "Brother Tao, don't hide it from you, I took my father to Yangcheng Hospital for treatment, and the medical level of the hospital in the county is limited, so they suggested that I bring my father to Yangcheng for treatment." ”

Lin Tao pointed at Fan Xiaojun helplessly and said, "You kid, if I don't ask you, do you still plan to hide it from me all the time?" ”

Fan Xiaojun said embarrassedly: "Brother Tao, don't blame me, I'm also afraid of blocking you, so ......"

"Less nonsense, come with me!"

"Where are you going?" Fan Xiaojun asked suspiciously.

Lin Tao said angrily: "Where are you going?" Your dad is here in Yangcheng, so I should go over and have a look. ”

"Don't, Brother Tao, you really don't need to bother, I'm just afraid of trouble, so I don't want to tell you, you better don't go, my dad ...... there"

"Less nonsense, hurry up. Come out and close the door for me. Lin Tao said undoubtedly.

Fan Xiaojun had no choice but to nod and follow Lin Tao out of the office.

When they were in the lobby, Lin Tao and Fan Xiaojun met the lobby manager Zhang Mei, who was Fan Xiaojun's girlfriend.

Lin Tao called out to Zhang Mei with a smile and said, "Zhang Mei, I just want to go to see Xiaojun's father, do you want to go with us?" ”

Zhang Mei smiled unnaturally and shouted to Mr. Lin, and glanced at Fan Xiaojun intentionally or unintentionally, and sneered: "Mr. Lin, I won't go, the hotel is busy at this time, and there are many guests in the room, so I can't leave." ”

Lin Tao saw that Fan Xiaojun was bored and silent, his expression was a little heavy, he was surprised, and said secretly, "Could it be that the two quarreled?" ”

Zhang Mei was reluctant to go, Lin Tao was not reluctant, nodded with a smile, and said, "Nacheng, you go and get busy first, and wait later." ”

Zhang Mei agreed, didn't look at Fan Xiaojun again, and ran away with her head down.

Walking to the parking position outside the hotel, Lin Tao asked Fan Xiaojun, "Do you know how to drive?" ”

Fan Xiaojun seemed to be in a bad mood, nodded, and said, "No problem." ”

"Cheng, then you can open it." Lin Tao threw the car keys to Fan Xiaojun.

Fan Xiaojun smiled after taking it, and the two got into the car together.

The car was driving on the road, and Lin Tao saw Fan Xiaojun's bitter face, so he asked, "Did you quarrel with Zhang Mei?" ”

Fan Xiaojun sighed, "Brother Tao, Zhang Mei may be breaking up with me." ”

Lin Tao said suspiciously: "Why? Wasn't it okay the other day? ”

Fan Xiaojun said bitterly: "I didn't tell Zhang Mei about my father's lung cancer before, but this time when I went back to my hometown, I confessed to her, and then ......."

Lin Tao frowned and said, "She knows that your father has lung cancer, so she wants to break up with you?" ”

Fan Xiaojun nodded, squeezed out a smile and said: "I can understand her, she is from a poor family, she may be poor, I am in this situation, I really can't give her the life she wants." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, you will slowly get better in the future, and I will persuade Zhang Mei when I have time."

Fan Xiaojun looked at Lin Tao apologetically and said, "Brother Tao, I really can't help you, I haven't helped you much, but I have caused you so much trouble." ”

Lin Tao waved his hand and said, "In the future, we will all be brothers, and it will be too foreign to talk." He glanced outside and ordered, "Stop at the corner ahead." ”

Fan Xiaojun did as instructed and parked the car at the corner of the road.

Lin Tao pushed the car door, "You wait a minute, I'll do something." ”

After getting out of the car, Lin Tao withdrew 10,000 yuan from the ATM not far from the intersection, bought a fruit basket at the fruit store, and then returned to the car.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped steadily at the First People's Hospital of Yangcheng.

The two got out of the car one after the other, Fan Xiaojun was very eye-catching, and hurriedly took the fruit basket in Lin Tao's hand.

Under the leadership of Fan Xiaojun, the two came to Fan Xiaojun's father's hospital room.

Because of the limited money in his hand, Fan Xiaojun could only let his father live in an ordinary ward, which had five or six beds in one ward, which was dirty and noisy, and was very unsuitable for seriously ill patients.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, Lin Tao couldn't help frowning, and said reproachfully: "Why did you arrange your father in this kind of ward?" ”

Fan Xiaojun's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "The hospitalization fee in the provincial capital is too high......

Lin Tao said: "Transfer your dad to the senior ward immediately, you don't have to worry about money." ”

"Brother Tao, I'm ......" Fan Xiaojun's eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he didn't know what to do.

Lin Tao smiled: "You don't have to thank me, I really want to thank you as a brother, if you really want to thank me, then you just remember one thing, never betray me!" ”

Fan Xiaojun didn't rush to promise, just nodded heavily, even after a few years, he still remembered Lin Tao's words to him today.

"Let's go, go see your dad." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Fan Xiaojun agreed and took the lead in entering the ward, at this time, a young woman who was carrying a teabottle and was about to go to fetch water bumped into Fan Xiaojun and smiled: "Xiaojun, didn't you go to your boss to report?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Fan Xiaojun said curtly: "Sister, our boss knows that my father has come to the provincial hospital, so he has to come over to have a look." Then he pointed to Lin Tao and introduced: "Sister, this is our President Lin." ”

Then he introduced to Lin Tao and said, "Brother Tao, this is my cousin, Cao Lan." ”

When Fan Xiaojun was talking to Cao Lan just now, Lin Tao noticed Cao Lan, he didn't expect Fan Xiaojun to know such a beautiful woman, although Cao Lan is not too tall, only a little more than one meter and six in height, but she looks good in high heels, her shoulder-length burgundy short hair reflects a delicate and slightly charming face, and she is wearing a green floral short skirt with knee-length skirts, revealing slender calves covered with flesh, at first glance, she is full of beauty. Just when he was wondering what the relationship between this woman and Fan Xiaojun was, he heard Fan Xiaojun introduce him as his cousin.

After Fan Xiaojun's introduction, Cao Lan noticed the young man behind Fan Xiaojun, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked surprised, but her expression immediately returned to normal, and she greeted Lin Tao with a smile on her face, "Hello leader, I didn't expect the leader of Xiaojun to be so young." ”

Lin Tao smiled: "Hello cousin, what kind of leader am I, I am a brother with Xiaojun." ”

Cao Lan smiled: "Two days ago, Xiaojun was still with me, how good their leaders were to him, and they gave him 20,000 yuan at once, I thought their leaders would be middle-aged and elderly bald and pot-bellied, but I didn't expect it to be a young handsome guy!" ”

Cao Lan covered her mouth and smiled, revealing a charming temperament between her eyebrows.

"Cousin, what's the matter?" Fan Xiaojun secretly glared at Cao Lan with some displeasure.

Cao Lan stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Just kidding, don't be angry, leader!" ”

"It's fine." Lin Tao likes Cao Lan's lively and cheerful personality, and he can say whatever he has in his heart.

"Xiaojun, you greet your leaders first, and I'll go get some hot water for the night." Over, when she passed by Lin Tao, she secretly winked at Lin Tao.

Lin Tao's heart fluttered, and he said: "This woman is a little interesting!" ”

"Brother Tao, don't mind, my cousin is such a personality." After Cao Lan went out, Fan Xiaojun said with a wry smile.

Lin Tao smiled: "What do I have to mind?" I think your cousin is funny, but why did she come to the provincial capital with you? ”

Fan Xiaojun sighed and said: "I didn't quarrel with her husband at home, I was too lazy to stay at home, so I went to the provincial capital with me to take care of my father, in fact, just to avoid her husband." ”

Lin Tao was surprised: "Your cousin has such a good personality, why does your cousin-in-law still quarrel with her?" ”

Fan Xiaojun got angry at this point, and said angrily: "My cousin-in-law is really not a thing, my cousin is already safe enough to keep to himself, he always suspects that my cousin has someone outside, often drunk and quarrels with my cousin with the strength of alcohol, and often gambles, and when he loses money, he will take my cousin out of anger, my cousin has been married to him in the past few years, and he has not enjoyed the blessing, and he has paid off a lot of gambling debts!" Hey, no, I'm angry when I mention that bastard! ”

Lin Tao listened to Fan Xiaojun's words, except for sighing and regretting, he didn't know what was good.
