Chapter 18 Swear by Zhilan's future happiness
Zhilan at the end of the day, her calves are swollen and painful, this day can be said to be non-stop, racing against time, she has handed over the individual customers to Ali, she focuses on the large group of more than 100 people, except for sitting down a little when eating in the cafeteria at noon, the rest of the time, she is either dealing with things, or on the way to deal with things.
The ticking clock in the hall pointed to half past five, although this was her normal time to leave work, but today the situation was special, and she couldn't leave without saying hello.
When I arrived at Zhang Xianyu's office upstairs, I didn't see his dignity, and Zhilan didn't have the energy to look for him everywhere, so she dialed his phone directly. Explain that you have something important to do, and ask him if he can leave work now?
Zhang Xianyu thought for a while and said, "Since there is something to do, it's time to get off work, so let's go!" There was only dinner left on the guests' side. After dinner, it's time for them to go to bed, and it's good to have me watching! ”
Although Zhilan only said thank you, she was thinking in her heart that although Xiao Zhang was moody, he was still quite reasonable. Zhilan went to the locker room to change clothes and drove straight to the hospital.
Gao Minlang and Liu Zhuo at the hospital were also busy for a day, and they couldn't queue up for many examinations, waiting for an hour or two, and at the end of the day, they only did three examinations.
Because Modi was weak and didn't eat much that day, he was a little dizzy and collapsed at the moment.
Gao Minlang has been supporting him, and Liu Zhuo is also busy around him.
"Uncle Mo, now that the hospital is off work, you are tired for a day, let me take you out for a meal!" Gao Minlang said.
"But... They have all gone through the hospitalization procedures..."Modi was a little embarrassed.
Liu Zhuo knew what Zhilan's father was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll send you back when I make rounds in the evening, the nurse won't know!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhilan called and asked Liu Zhuo where they were, and Liu Zhuo said that it was here in the fountain square in front of the first inpatient department. Within a few minutes, Zhilan arrived.
The moment she saw her father, Zhilan still couldn't hold back, she originally told herself that she couldn't shed tears, her father was sick now and was in a sensitive period, and when she cried, she would definitely make him uneasy, even if she couldn't bear it, she had to force her face to laugh! But seeing that his father was skinny, with sunken eye sockets and a rickety body, a man in his fifties, at first glance, he was weathered and the vicissitudes of life. Zhilan didn't hold back for a while, her tears were like beads with broken threads.
It was Modi who took the initiative to comfort his daughter: "Silly girl, what are you crying about, Dad, this is not good, hurry, don't cry!" Wiping his tears..."Although he comforted his daughter like this, his own eye circles gradually turned red.
Gao Minlang saw it in his heart, and he was sad to death. In order not to fall into a heavy situation again, he took the initiative to divert the topic: "I just told Uncle Mo that I was going to eat, and you came, did you smell the fragrance and come over?" ”
Zhilan burst into tears and smiled, looked at Gao Minlang and Liu Zhuo, and said thank you from the bottom of her heart.
"But Daddy is wearing a hospital gown now!" Zhilan looked at her father's thin body wrapped in a wide hospital gown, and suddenly thought, so she said, "I have bought good clothes for my father in the car, let's go, get in the car first, change clothes, let's go out to eat!" ”
So the four of them only drove one car from Zhilan. Gao Minlang searched for nearby good things on the food network, and then asked Zhilan's father about his preferences, and then made a corresponding judgment. Just asked a few questions, and Zhilan's father smiled and said: It's all right, which makes Gao Minlang a little embarrassed.
Zhilan said: "It doesn't matter what you eat, the key is the mood of everyone eating together!" As he spoke, he pulled over, and next to it was a home-cooked restaurant, which looked very good when people came and went.
I ordered a few dishes casually, there was no alcohol, and for some reason it was very boring when I ate, only Modi asked her daughter how her work was from time to time, and Zhilan said that it was all right. Liu Zhuo was probably tired, or the food was not in harmony with his appetite, he ate less, and he didn't talk much. Not to mention Gao Minlang, who has been eating with his head bored and has little communication with the other three.
It was solved in less than half an hour before and after a meal. It is worth mentioning that Gao Minlang didn't know when he paid the bill, and Zhilan clearly remembered that he never left during the meal. But there is more than this account between them, and then slowly calculated.
Sending Modi back to the ward, just in time for the nurse to be doing rounds, was also considered to be back in time.
At present, Modi can take care of himself completely, so he does not need an escort, Zhilan simply explained a few words to her father and left.
When she arrived at the hospital parking lot, Zhilan asked Liu Zhuo to wait in her car for a while, and she said that there was something she wanted to tell Gao Minlang. So when Gao Minlan hadn't started the car yet, Zhilan knocked on the co-pilot's window. Gao Minlang unlocked it, and Zhilan sat in the co-pilot.
"I thought you were going to leave without saying a word!" Gao Minlang smiled bitterly, just came out of the ward, Zhilan didn't say a word to him, and went straight to the parking lot.
"It's not my exclusive one to leave without saying a word!" Zhilan glanced at the man beside him meaningfully, didn't he go abroad without saying a word! Seeing that the injuries on his face were still clearly visible, as if they hadn't been treated, Zhilan couldn't help but complain: "Guarding the hospital, why don't you treat the injuries on your face?" ”
Gao Minlang remembered it at this time, reached out and touched it, it hurt his heart, in fact, he really forgot. But he didn't want Zhilan to owe him a favor, so he grinned: "What is this injury, just let some blood!" ”
Of course, Zhilan didn't come up to care about him, so she didn't continue the topic: "The account between the two of us should be settled, right?" ”
Gao Minlang was at a loss for a while, and he couldn't understand what you meant by Zhilan for a while.
Zhilan knew that Gao Minlang had misunderstood what she meant, and looking at the appearance of his second monk, she couldn't help laughing, this smile made Gao Minlang stunned, as if everything was alive, only her laughter.
"I mean, you've helped me pay for it these days!" Zhilan laughed.
Gao Minlang then understood, and he smiled helplessly: "You don't have much money, why are you still so worried?" ”
"One yard to one yard!" Zhilan took out her wallet: "Say, how much?" ”
"It really doesn't have to be like this!" Gao Minlang was a little anxious, "I never thought of asking you to pay it back." ”
"I said, one is one, two is two, and my brothers must also settle accounts!"
"I can't imagine how stubborn you are after so many years!" Gao Minlang turned his head to look out the window.
"I'm not the only one who is stubborn!" Zhilan said and put a thick stack of cash in front of her hand: "I was supposed to invite guests to dinner that day, but because of the suddenness of the incident, Liu Zhuo said that you paid in the end, and I was hospitalized that night, Dad's hospitalization deposit today, and the money for the meal just now, all of which were paid by you alone, this is 20,000 yuan, put it here." Later, I hope you will send me the bill, and we will refund more and make up for less! ”
Saying that Zhilan was about to open the car door, Gao Minlang's eyes were quick, and he clicked the lock, and then pulled Zhilan and hugged her tightly in his arms, at this moment he was awake, not Gao Minlang, who was drunk last night, he knew what he was doing. Zhilan didn't struggle, because Gao Minlang's choked voice was in his ears, and he said, "Zhilan, do you have to be so clear with me?" ”
Zhilan paused, remembering that they used to drink a bottle of mineral water together, grab a bowl of pig's feet powder made by their mother, and even share an eraser... But that's all in the past.
"Why not?" Zhilan smiled and said, "After all, we are not children anymore!" ”
"But I'm so sad that you're like this! We weren't like this before, do you remember, we didn't distinguish each other from childhood to adulthood! Gao Minlang's tears slipped into Zhilan's neck, not hot, more like a few drops of warm boiled water.
"But have you forgotten? Isn't that Mo Zhilan, who is inseparable from you, forced to death by you a long time ago! Zhilan pushed him away, her face was evil that she had never seen before, and there was a cold light in her eyes that was fearless and indifferent.
He even remembered those things from the past? Zhilan almost laughed out loud, and then asked him loudly: Why do you only remember those good things? Have you really forgotten what you have done yourself? But she didn't.
Gao Minlang was dumbfounded and speechless. It's that he has always overestimated his status in her mind, he even naively thought that after getting along these days, she at least wouldn't speak coldly to herself, and he blindly believed that she would at least remember it in her heart if she did this... But everything is in vain after all, as soon as the matter is over, she can't wait to bring cash to "settle accounts with his brother", is it that when she opens the car door and leaves, they will return to the bridge in the future, the road will return to the road, and the money and goods will be lost?
"But you said you were going to give me a chance?" Gao Minlang compromised again, his voice was full of begging, he felt that he was more like a beggar at this time, hoping that Zhilan would be kind to him, forget the pain in the past, the unbearable, and forget the past that was full of holes.
But if it is yourself, can you forget it? In the end, it's all your own fault.
"I said it, but I think we all need time!"
It is said that time is the best medicine, but a few people can know that time is just a quack doctor who lies to cure all diseases, and the deepest gap in the bottom of your heart, it can't help you heal.
But Gao Minlang still had a trace of illusion, he still felt that Zhilan was right, they really needed time. He unlocked the lock and finally pleaded, "Can you send me a message when you get home, let me rest assured!" ”
Zhilan nodded, pushed the car door, and didn't say goodbye.
remembered the sentence he asked Zhilan's father in the hospital this morning, which was the answer he had been thinking about day and night for ten years.
But in the end, Modi said: "There has never been a dirty affair between me and your mother that is not inhumane to outsiders, we just have some common language, but in the end, we are to blame for not grasping the balance and letting the rumors spread, but I dare to swear by Zhilan's future happiness, other than that, there is nothing between us!" ”
At the end, Zhilan's father held Gao Minlang's hand and made the last entrustment of his life: "I know that my life is short, ten years ago we delayed you and Zhilan by mistake, so today Uncle Mo let out this old face, like a poor worm, groveling, wagging his tail and begging for mercy to you, I hope you can take care of her and love her after I leave." ”
