As soon as I got in the car, I couldn't wait to ask Lu Shan: "What's going on?" What did the man eat like that? That woman doesn't seem to be in good health? What was the last attitude of the hostess? Who is the old man with white hair? What tricks did you use to get things done? "Questions popped out of my mouth one after another.

Lu Shan put the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said to me calmly: "Don't worry, I'll tell you little by little." ”

learned from Lu Shan's mouth that this man's name is Zhao Tiesuo, and he is a demobilized soldier. Parents died early and there are no relatives who have no contact, and his wife's name is Zheng Xi.

"Zheng Xi? What's the name? I asked Lu Shan suspiciously.

Lu Shan said: "Originally, I didn't want to know what their names were, but as soon as I guessed that you would have to get to the bottom of it, I asked how this woman was called." ”

It turned out that when Zheng Xi's mother gave birth to her, there was an interesting anecdote. Her family is in the countryside of Northeast China, and her mother was not sent to the hospital when she gave birth to her, but she found a midwife at home, and she gave birth for two days, and people were dying, and the child was not born.

Her father and the village chief went to visit an old teacher before the liberation, who was also the most educated person in the village, and asked what to do in this situation?

The old teacher is not an obstetrician and gynecologist, so how can he know about midwifery. After careful consideration, the old teacher came to a conclusion that the child could not retreat, so she would give her mother a direction, which was originally lying with her head facing east, but changed to her head facing west, who knew that the child would be born in less than five minutes after turning the direction.

It happened that her father's surname was Zheng, so her father named her Zheng Xi.

Hearing this, I was already laughing back and forth, and I also interjected and joked with Lu Shan: "Mother's head is facing west, and the child born should be headed east, it should be called Zheng Dong." ”

Lu Shan said in a mocking tone: "Didn't you study economic management in college? Do you know that too? Looks like there's a lot to learn at university. ”

I was busy playing the round: "Self-taught, self-taught." ”

Lu Shan continued angrily, after Zhao Tiesuo became a soldier and changed jobs, he worked as a shunting clerk at the railway station, mainly to manage the loading and unloading of the train's goods, and the goods unloaded from the train were sent to the freight yard, and the goods to be loaded on the train were picked up from the freight yard and escorted.

Zheng Xi, who was introduced to the textile factory by others, fell in love with each other, and the wine ceremony was married, and today is the 15th anniversary of the wedding.

After marriage, the relationship between the two was very good, and they saved money to buy a small square meter house in three or four years, and gave birth to a lovely daughter, named Zhao Yazhi, a big star. When the child was more than a year old, the textile factory was not profitable, Zheng Xi was laid off, Zhao Tiesuo loved his wife and children very much, and said that Yazhi was still young, so he asked his wife not to go out to find a job, and to take care of the children at home. Zhao Tiesuo is on a 24-hour shift at the train station, and he goes out to pedal a tricycle to pull guests on this day.

The child can be sent to kindergarten at the age of three, Zheng Xi is ready to go out to find a job as a temporary worker to earn some money to supplement the family, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't look for a job, the manufacturer recruits workers for a physical examination, and it is found that Zheng Xi has breast cancer, and it is already in an advanced stage. This news is like a bolt from the blue for a family that is not wealthy in the first place, Zhao Tiesuo is single-minded, treating his wife everywhere, and he has some savings in the first few years, but the days of spending money are not as good as day by day.

When the child was 7 years old, he was sent back to the village in the northeast of Zhengxi to attend primary school, where he was taken care of by his grandfather and grandmother. The two relatives also had little to help, the money of the old comrades-in-arms and old classmates was almost borrowed, and the family house was also sold, Zhao Tiesuo also quit his job in order to take care of his wife, resigned and subsidized 10,000 yuan, and also paid medical expenses.

Now in addition to taking care of his wife in the hospital, he goes out to pull people and goods on three wheels. Zhao Tiesuo is also hard-working, no matter how hard and tired he is, the first important thing is to see his wife, just watching his wife get sick and suffer, and he is also suffering from sin, and he feels depressed and uncomfortable. Now Zheng Xi's hair has fallen out due to chemotherapy, and all he brings when he goes out today is a wig.

I remembered that I was in the hotel just now, and I saw a projection behind the woman in my right eye, and she was a bald person, and then I realized that she had no hair herself. I hurriedly asked Lu Shan: "Then I've persevered for so many years, what's wrong with this Zhao Tiesuo today?" ”

Lu Shan continued to tell me about today's events. The hospital's treatment costs have been urging for two days, Zhao Tiesuo really can't come up with the money, and the only thing he can sell now is his tricycle, but how can this be a job?

Just yesterday morning, Zhao Tiesuo remembered that there was an heirloom in his wife's dowry, which was a very beautiful silver kettle, so Zhao Tiesuo took it out to try his luck and see if he could sell it for a good price. In the morning in the park, I squatted for an hour and no one asked. Just as he was about to go back with his things, a man in a suit walked over, who seemed to have stayed up late drinking, his hair was unkempt and disheveled, and he walked slightly, and he couldn't be a few years older than himself in terms of age.

Seeing the kettle in front of Zhao Tiesuo, he picked it up without saying a word and looked left and right, looked at it for a long time and asked Zhao Tiesuo if he wanted to make a move. The man pondered for a long time and said eight thousand. When Zhao Tiesuo heard that this silver kettle could be sold for so much money, he made a deal without saying a word. The man took him to the ATM, withdrew the money, and walked away with his things. Zhao Tiesuo trotted all the way to buy breakfast, sent it to the ward for his wife, and turned around to make up for the expenses owed to the hospital.

But this morning Zheng Xi said to him: "I had a dream last night, and an old man asked me if you lost our family heirloom?" "Let Zhao Tiesuo go home and take a look.

Zhao Tiesuo heard it, eighty percent of it was an ancestral fairy, this heirloom seems to really have a background, he made a big mistake, and the person who bought it didn't know him, so he couldn't explain it to his wife. I didn't want to live anymore, so I took out the remaining dozens of yuan to bring my wife to this restaurant to have a dinner in my wife's hometown, which was also the last reunion dinner for the two of them. During the meal, Zhao Tiesuo took the mouse medicine he bought in advance and ate it in his own meal, which happened later.

Lu Shan explained the incident in detail, and I completely understood it. I asked, "What did you do in the end?" What did you say when you entered the private room? ”

Lu Shan replied to me: "I saw that the man was fine, so I whispered to the proprietress that this matter had a big impact on the business, so we entered the private room, and after entering, the two of them made it clear, and the proprietress was also very sympathetic to them, I gave the man 500 yuan, and the proprietress saw that although she didn't give the money, it was not easy to pursue it." Zheng Xi almost lost his man, and he didn't care about any useless heirlooms. As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket with his right hand and handed it to me, and I saw that it was actually an IOU of five hundred yuan, on which Zhao Tiesuo's name was written crookedly.

The opinion of Lu Shan in my heart was racing fast. One is to admire her way of handling things, and she can solve the contradictions on both sides without speaking. The second is infinite contempt, she will give five hundred if she gives five hundred, and she actually needs an IOU. I laughed when I thought about it.

Lu Shan was a little dazed by my smile and didn't know what I was crazy about smoking, in fact, I had already despised her in my heart to the 365th power.

As I spoke, I arrived at the place, and I pointed to the sign of "Zhixin Private Office" in the distance to indicate that Lu Shan was there. Originally, it was called Zhicheng, but later I joined a share, and the fat brother said that it was changed to Zhixiao, and I said that my money was all my adoptive father's, so I took the letter in his name and changed it to Zhixin.

I saw two people standing at the door from a distance, a burly fat man of 1.85 meters, and a slender and casually dressed woman, the two of them faced each other with their heads bowed, not knowing what they were doing. Without waiting to press the window, I excitedly shouted outside: "Fat brother, fat brother." ”
