The doctor suggested going to Shanghai Cancer Hospital for removal, and I was stunned. A girl who has never been to a big city in Shanghai has to take her child to the cancer hospital where the city is located for surgery, which is difficult to think about.

However, what is even more frightening is the high cost of treatment. Doctors predict tens of thousands of dollars in costs. Tens of thousands? Is it twenty or thirty thousand or forty or fifty thousand? And I have only worked for nearly three years and only have five or six thousand savings.

Qi Zhengzhe is still lying in the hospital, and he has to pay high fees every day, but fortunately, he is supported by Qi Zhengli, and now, Hao Jia has to have surgery again, which is really a disaster.

Now I'm going to talk to my brother about Wu Shifu.

Brother may not have any impression of this person. Oh, there is? Yes, yes, the guy who hit me on his bike. He opened a small restaurant in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. My colleague and I get together at his diner from time to time. It's a good memory.

Maybe it's really a no-beat-up, but since he knocked me into the hospital, we've had more interactions.

On the one hand, he always came to our bun shop to order buns.

His small restaurant sometimes takes on three or four tables of small banquets, such as a full moon banquet or a first birthday banquet.

People in Yangjiang County have the custom of making a full moon for their children's first birthday, but birthday parties such as the 10th and 20th birthdays are not very good.

At such a feast, Wu Shifu pioneered a very popular dish - serving a plate of hot steamed buns after the guests had eaten and drunk.

It's a very creative approach. After the guests eat a variety of delicacies, they will feel that they can't eat the rice, but they can't eat it, and they are worried about being hungry at night.

It is said that after Wu Shifu pioneered, not only those small restaurants, but also some very high-end hotels such as Yangjiang Hotel have also learned from them.

Therefore, there is a certain number of people who come to Qi Zhengzhe's steamed bun shop to book steamed buns.

On the other hand, when we don't want to cook food, we always walk to Wu Shifu's small restaurant to stir-fry a few dishes for dinner.

At this time, Wu Shifu always wanted to ask Qi Zhengzhe to drink a few glasses of wine, and he accompanied him. When the business was busy, he would go around to our table to take a big sip when he borrowed food from other guests, and then went on to stir-fry his food; In his free time, he simply sat down and chatted with us while drinking.

Wu Shifu is very good at chattering. He told a joke (actually a real story) that made me laugh until my stomach hurt, and made Qi Zhengzhe laugh so much that he sprayed the food in his mouth on the table, which made Qi Zhengzhe ashamed.

It is said that a middle school principal can smoke and play cards and debauch himself, but he can't drink. When a guest comes, he can only ask the director of general affairs and the secretary of the Youth League branch to accompany the wine, because these two people drink very well.

At that time, the monthly salary was only 150 yuan, and the wine they drank was 28 yuan a bottle of Fenjiu, and at least two or three bottles and more than four or five bottles at a table. Four or five bottles, what kind of concept, is equivalent to a month's salary.

The headmaster was very uncomfortable and determined to learn to drink. He found the director of general affairs and the secretary of the Youth League branch and told them what he thought. The principal said that he wanted to learn to drink, so how could he not teach it? They invited the principal to the director's bachelor's dormitory, sat him on a wooden chair, tied his hands to the back of the chair, and began to teach the principal to drink.

The appetizer is only a plate of peanuts. Two peanuts, a scoop of wine. With a scoop of wine, the principal smashed his tongue and thought it was okay. Feed two more peanuts and a scoop of wine. When I asked the principal if it was okay, the principal said he was a little dizzy. The Director of General Services said, dizzy? That means you can drink it. Take another bite.

So, two peanuts and a scoop of wine. Before the director of general affairs could ask the principal how he felt, the principal fell unconscious with his head tilted, so frightened that the two administrative leaders hurriedly sent the principal to the hospital.

You see, this joke, I said, is not funny at all, and my brother's reaction shows it. But I don't know why, Wu Shifu is very interesting when he talks about it. The tone, the form, and the colorful expression make people laugh.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that we have become very familiar with him, and Qi Zhengzhe and him have become brothers. Every time he goes home during the Spring Festival, Wu Shifu always uses his bicycle to carry some luggage for us to the station to take the shuttle, and every year after returning to Yangjiang, Qi Zhengzhe always does not forget to go to Zhengzhe Supermarket to pick up the best gifts for Wu Shifu.

After Qi Zhengzhe became a vegetative person, Wu Shifu Yiyi closed the store for two days and went to Qijiatun with me to visit Qi Zhengzhe.

Therefore, although he is a small owner of a small restaurant, Wu is Fubi is nobler than many cultivated and high-quality people, and those who are intrigued in the officialdom are simply human garbage.

In the matter of Hao Jia's treatment, it was Wu Shifu who helped me with all his might to get me through the difficulties. You know, brother, Hao Jia spent a total of nearly 50,000 yuan before and after the operation in Shanghai Cancer Hospital. And I borrowed from my colleagues, including my own deposit, which was only more than 20,000 yuan, and Wu Shifu tried to make the rest of the money.

Wu Shifu gave everything he had.

My misfortune may be incomparable to that of many of my peers, but the fortunate thing is that there are always kind and affectionate people to help me when I can't hold on.

Back then, my father and I stumbled to Qijiatun County, and it was Qi Zhengzhe's family who helped us, and this time, it was Wu Shifu.

However, brother, do you believe it? Such a kind and righteous person was called by God early.

Wu Shifu died in a car accident.

The scourge began with motorcycles. It's not strange that it's a motorcycle again!

And it's a brand new motorcycle. I don't know why, Wu Shifu dreamed of owning a motorcycle during that time, and he discussed it three or four times with me, an outsider.

The first time he told me about this, I mistakenly thought that he was indirectly collecting debts from me, and I was very embarrassed, but only later did I understand what he meant. He consulted all the people he could talk to.

From the business that Wu Shifu does, it is necessary to buy a motorcycle, not to mention anything else, just go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables, it is very convenient to have a motorcycle, not to mention that there are some old customers who always ask him to deliver food.

Delivering food on a motorbike is much faster than by bike. The person who orders the food always wants you to be the first to be delivered.

However, buying a motorcycle in those years was not a trivial matter. When ordinary people buy a motorcycle, the neighbors and neighbors have to come to the door to congratulate them, wrap red envelopes, and light firecrackers. This is also the reason why Qi Zhengzhe rode a motorcycle to and from school in Qijiatun to send me to and from school. Therefore, Wu Shifu asked for opinions from many parties.

However, after careful consideration, Wu Shifu still made up his mind. But who would have thought that this motorcycle would kill him?

It's really time to come. When it is our dialect, it is the meaning of fate. What is not meant to be?

You know, I happened to be having dinner in his restaurant on the day Wu Shifu's accident, and he talked to me about riding his bicycle to the countryside. is a relative in the countryside who got married, because he opened a restaurant, he didn't have time to stay in the countryside to eat and drink, but he must send a red envelope to congratulate him.

could have asked someone to bring a red envelope, but Wu Shifu felt that it was too insincere to do so, so he thought about sending it in person. When opening a restaurant, it is often more idle in the middle of the afternoon. Send a congratulatory red envelope to the countryside, take a shuttle bus to and from for two hours, time is allowed.

I suggested that Wu Shifu take the shuttle bus. It's too unsafe to ride a motorcycle back and forth for two hours.

Brother, those years were the period when Yangjiang County vigorously renovated the highway, and the sand and gravel road was potholed by the road construction team, and it was really inappropriate to ride a motorcycle.

Wu Shifu listened to my advice and decided to take the shuttle.

The reason why Wu Shifu had a car accident is that the usual hotel business (referring to noon) ended at half past one o'clock at the latest, and Wu Shifu was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon that day.

Therefore, in a hurry, Wu Shifu temporarily changed his mind. There is no need to wait for the bus on a motorcycle, the time is short, and you can rush back to do business in the evening.

And just like that, what should have happened happened. Wu Shifu rode a motorcycle to a place called Yuzhuang, a little girl suddenly came out of a small road, in order to avoid the little girl, he flashed to the side, because the speed was too fast, Wu Shifu Lianren fell out with the car. The car rolled down a small ditch on the side of the road, and he crashed into a tree pocket on the side of the road.

I learned the news and rushed to the hospital, where Wu Shifu's operation was over. Wu Shifu's head was covered with gauze, exactly the same as his father back then. When I saw him the way he looked, I knew he couldn't be saved, just like my father. I can't really tell you what it was like.

I've known Wu Shifu for a few years, and he has always cared about me and Qi Zhengzhe like a big brother. After Qi Zhengzhe became a vegetative person, his care for me continued unabated. Especially in the case of Hao Jia's surgery, I can see his generosity and helpfulness - he lent me his savings (30,000 yuan) that he had worked hard to accumulate over the years, which many so-called friends and brothers could not do.

Maybe the 30,000 yuan is his wife's book (the cost of marrying a wife).

All of Wu Shifu's relatives came to the hospital. An old mother, an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister. I couldn't help Hao Jia with my arms.

Wu Shifu persisted in the hospital for ten days before he died. Even though it was expected, I still had a feeling that I was going to collapse.

Watching Wu Shifu's brother and younger brother carry Wu Shifu's body out of the hospital, thinking that I would never see this person again, my tears flowed.

During the 10 days that Wu Shifu was hospitalized, I took a moment to call Wu Shifu's family together and gave a detailed account of the 30,000 yuan I had borrowed from Wu Shifu.

My action touched Wu Shifu's entire family, because none of them knew that Wu Shifu had lent me money, let alone such a large amount.

But I'm at ease. It is only natural to repay debts. I didn't think about it, and I don't think about it, to get rid of the money I borrowed.

I took the initiative to explain the debt to Wu Shifu's family, which invisibly gave myself huge pressure, if Wu is Fu, the debt will be repaid slowly, it's nothing, as long as Wu Shifu is not in a hurry, he will not urge me (in fact, even if it is urgent, Wu Shifu will not urge me to pay the debt), just like in the past three years, I have only repaid Wu Shifu 5,000 yuan in total, Wu Shifu died, I can't repay the debt like this. I promised Wu Shifu's family three years to pay off the remaining debts. Although Wu Shifu's family has repeatedly said that they are not in a hurry, I know that this is already the longest period.

As the days passed, I was almost numb. But those debts forced me to break in, and I had to find a way, otherwise it would be impossible to pay off the debts in three years with the little salary paid to me by the Civil Affairs Bureau.

It's not that I haven't thought about opening up to Qi Zhengli. I believe that as long as I open my mouth, let alone 30,000, 57,000 Qi Zhengli will also be given to me. But how can I open this mouth? Qi Zhengzhe's huge medical expenses, all the expenses of the Qi family are supported by Qi Zhengli!

After thinking about it, I decided to set up a stall.

My brother may ask me why I chose to set up a stall when there are so many things that can be done. Maybe it's because I always see some people setting up stalls on the way to work (the first time I saw a thin man when I returned to Yangjiang, it was a group of thin people chasing after the people who set up a stall), of course, the essential reason is that setting up a stall is simple and easy, low cost and low risk.

For a person with high debts like me, what I am most afraid of when doing business is risk. The only thing that can be done is a small business.

The nature of my daytime work means that I can only go to a night stall.

The thought of setting up a stall makes me panic. This is the first time I've ever done it. Although there was a time of begging, I have had a smooth life since then, and I never imagined that one day I would go to set up a stall. After struggling for days, I still let go. There's no way around it. You have to do it. Since it is necessary to do something, it is useless to hesitate.

I still remember that night very clearly, the moon was exceptionally bright, and the street lamps in the alleyway were also exceptionally bright.

The passers-by always looked at me, perhaps surprised, or casually glanced, but none of them came up to me to inquire.

I waited for an hour, but there were still no customers. I was anxious and depressed. If so, won't I even get my principal back?

I'm not reconciled!

Now that we've come this far, there's nothing to worry about. Brother, do you believe it? I shouted.

At first my voice was stuck in my throat, and after shouting a few times, it became louder. Don't say it, as soon as I shouted, there were really a few guests who came. It was a few girls, they squatted down in front of the stall and chose for a long time, and finally fell in love with a hand jewelry. They each picked one.

I can't tell you how happy I was to get the first fund, but my confidence increased sharply, and I shouted more passionately. After that, people came one after another. Watching the small items sold one by one, my heart was filled with joy and I put the pain behind me for a while. Finally, when I decided to close the stall, I suddenly found that my daughter Hao Jia was lying on the ground and asleep. I felt guilty all of a sudden, hugged Hao Jia in my arms, and said sorry to her one by one.

Actually, brother, it's not the first time I've experienced something today. I set up a stall for a week, and then the thugs came to me for trouble. I was trembling with fear. Their ruffian looks, their various hairstyles, and their lewd expressions all made me shudder. I tried my best to deal with them and asked them to take care of me in the form of complaints. But the more humble these people became, the more arrogant they became, and once they even did something to me, and I had to shout for help. Hao Jia was also frightened to tears by this scene. Fortunately, these gangsters were still a little afraid of my call for help, and took what they wanted and left. I had to swallow my anger.

When the thugs came the second time, I changed my attitude. I greeted them warmly and offered to ask them to choose what they wanted. This trick still works. When they took something, they no longer embarrassed me. I also figured it out, they took some small things, not worth a few dollars, and they should pay protection money.

But who would have thought that today they would fall in love with such a valuable item, and they had to reason with them, quarrel, no, such a theoretical quarrel has attracted your attention.

So, from this point of view, brother, I really have to thank these hooligans, if they hadn't deliberately made trouble, if they hadn't been so arrogant to me, they wouldn't have attracted your attention, maybe you wouldn't have gone my way. Didn't you say you were going to soak your feet? You can also go to the other side to soak your feet. So, if I'm calm here, how can you pay attention to my humble stall? And if you don't pay attention to me, how can we meet? Do you say, brother?
