71. Long-distance calls

As soon as Zhao Zhibao opened the door of the clinic, he heard the phone ring, Zhao Zhibao dropped the key and picked up the receiver.

"Hey! Where? ”

"Hey! I'm Qiu Zhimin. Are you Zhibao? ”

"Uncle Qiu! It's you! I'm Zhao Zhibao! New Year's greetings to you! Happy New Year to you! Happy family! Good luck! Is there anything wrong with the uncle? ”

"Zhibao! Don't do it in one set, I have something to tell you, is it convenient to speak? ”

"It's convenient! I'm alone. ”

"Hey! Chi Po! There is news about the last time you asked me. ”

"Yes! Be clear. ”

"That's the case, there is a tobacco factory collapsed, to sell the factory to disperse, I see that the house is good, so I went to test it, Boss Chen is willing to sell, the specific price is 520,000 in cash, I can't call the shots, can you come and see?" Qiu Zhimin said.

"Good! I know! I'll be here tomorrow! ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhibao picked up the medicine box and returned to his new home.

"Why did you carry the medicine box back again?" Xia Lotus asked.

"I have something to do tomorrow, and I want to go to the provincial capital." Zhao Zhibao said.

"Is there a sick person again?" Xia Lotus asked

"It's more important than seeing the patient."

"What the hell, you can't tell me!"

"I can't say it now, I'll tell you when the time comes!"

"So what should I do?"

"What to do? Just tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If you want to live here, you can go back to your new house, you can go back to your mother's house, anyway, it's a holiday, and you can have a lot of freedom for two days, isn't it? Zhao Zhibao said.

"Don't you want me?"

"Who said I don't want you anymore! Don't be cranky! Men always have to run for their careers, and it is impossible to hang their wives on their trouser belts all day long! ”

Xia Lotus was speechless. Zhao Zhibao didn't say anything anymore, and the two of them did it once according to their habits. Both of them felt bored and tasteless, and for the first time since they got married.

Xia Lotus began to have a pregnancy reaction, Zhao Zhibao said: "You go back to the new house!" Mom will take care of you, I'm afraid I can't go back to my parents' house, and your mother should probably react badly. ”

"How do you know?" Xia Lotus asked.

I made this happen, how could I not know? I knew it last time, you forgot! It depends on whether it's your mother or your husband.

Fortunately, Xia Lotus's pregnancy reaction has just begun, and Zhao Zhibao only has two days, so he can definitely rest assured.

At about 11 o'clock at noon on the second day, Zhao Zhibao came to the provincial capital by long-distance bus. I called a tricycle again, and when I arrived at No. 15 Lotus Lane, it was already more than 12 o'clock at noon, and the Qiu family was having lunch and said hello, and Zhao Zhibao was not polite and sat down to eat lunch with the Qiu family.

Qiu Lianhua added vegetables to Zhao Zhibao again and again, not caring about the eyes of adults at all. made Zhao Zhibao a little embarrassed.

Song Xiaoling said: "Flowers! Eat it yourself! Your brother Zhibao is not an outsider, you will choose to eat. Chi Po! You're welcome, just grab whatever you want! ”

"Auntie! I love all the delicious dishes in your house! It's a pity I only have one belly! Can't eat it anymore. Uncle Qiu! Let's go meet Boss Chen! ”

72. Bargaining for house viewing

Qiu Zhimin had already eaten enough, and when he heard Zhao Zhibao say that he was going to meet Boss Chen, he immediately stood up and said, "Then we'll go!" ”

"Dad! I'm going to check it out! Qiu Lianhua said.

"Flowers! What are you going to do? Song Xiaoling said.

"Brother Zhibao bought a house and opened a clinic, of course it has something to do with me, I want to learn, how to talk about business!" Qiu Lianhua said.

Qiu Changfu said: "Hua'er has nothing to do at home, so let her see the world!" ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Dad! You see that grandpa agreed, so take me to see it. ”

Qiu Zhimin said: "Go, go, go!" Just don't talk nonsense! ”

Qiu Zhimin took the lead, followed by Zhao Zhibao and Qiu Lianhua, and arrived before they walked out of the alley for 10 minutes.

Qiu Zhimin said: "Zhibao! Look at this house! ”

Zhao Zhibao stood on the ground and looked at it: a three-story house is in front of him, covering an area of about 100 square meters, the exterior has been whitewashed, and the white walls have turned gray and black, like a building that has been around for decades. The door is facing the street, and the traffic is convenient!

Zhao Zhibao said: "Uncle Qiu! Will meet the boss! ”

Qiu Zhimin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came out to open the door in a short time.

Qiu Zhimin said: "Boss Chen! Happy New Year! It's a New Year's greetings to you! ”

Chen Siyuan said: "You're polite, you're welcome!" Director Qiu inside please! While giving up his seat, he ordered to make tea and set snacks.

On the first day of the first lunar month, there are guests who come to the door and put on all kinds of pastries, which is a folk custom.

Qiu Zhimin said: "Boss Chen is polite! Let me introduce: This is my friend, our family's great benefactor, Comrade Zhao Zhibao, this is my little daughter. ”

When Boss Chen saw Qiu Zhimin's introduction of a great benefactor, he asked curiously: "Director Qiu!" You say that Comrade Zhao is a great benefactor of your family, and I take the liberty to ask: What does Comrade Zhao do? ”

"He is a doctor, and he can also be said to be a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor who specializes in treating incurable diseases." Qiu Lianhua said.

"Oh! Miracle Doctor! Let me ask: Is chronic bronchitis incurable? Boss Chen asked.

"Boss Chen! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's not talk about whether we are sick or not, okay? Zhao Zhibao said.

"Comrade Zhao! I sincerely asked for advice, because my father had this disease, and I don't know how many medicines I took in the hospital, but it didn't work, but I was sad to die as a son! Boss Chen said.

"Boss Chen! Well, I can treat your father, and I promise to be cured! But not today, I didn't have a guy to eat. It's not appropriate to go to the clinic today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, is it okay to ask for a lottery? Zhao Zhibao said.

"Let's look at the house first!" Qiu Zhimin diverted the topic.

"The house won't go away here! Just take a look at it! Boss Chen said.

Boss Chen had no choice but to take Zhao Zhibao to see the house, and explained while watching: "The first floor is the façade, because the counter was moved aside during the Chinese New Year, you see that it is the counter." Boss Chen pointed to the counter.

Qiu Lianhua said, "Wow! That's a big counter! How can you move it? ”

"It's big, it's heavy, it's solid wood, and a few people can't move it!" Boss Chen said.

"How many people? I can move it by myself! Zhao Zhibao said.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao bragged, just called it back to its position today, so please help!" Boss Chen is going to be Zhao Zhibao's army.

"Boss Chen, you are underestimating people when you say this, then I will help you!" Zhao Zhibao said.

Zhao Zhibao stepped forward, stretched out his hands and picked up 1/3 of the big cabinet, put one foot against one side of the cabinet, and shouted: "Get up!" "When the cabinet was lifted, it took a big step forward, and then it changed one foot against the same side of the cabinet, and the cabinet lifted and took a big step forward. It only took three steps, and the big cabinet was basically in place. Boss Chen was dumbfounded.

Hurriedly said: "Little brother! Power! ”

And Zhao Zhibao didn't change his face, and said without a heartbeat: "It's a small meaning, it's just a small meaning!" ”

Next, Boss Chen's attitude was much better. So I looked at the 2nd floor, and then the 3rd floor. There are 4 rooms on the 2nd floor, with a front hall and a back hall, and the 3rd floor is similar to the 2nd floor. Finally, we went to the 1st floor. On the first floor, in addition to the same structure as the second and third floors, a kitchen and storeroom have been expanded at the back.

Zhao Zhibao asked: "Do you own the land occupied by the treasury and kitchen?" ”

Boss Chen said: "Of course, the land is 11 meters long and 11 meters wide. 121 square meters, with title deeds. The house occupies an area of less than 120 square meters. ”

After reading it, it's time to negotiate the price. Zhao Zhibao said: "I have seen the house, and my impression is not very good! Boss Chen! I'll be honest, the size of the house is good, but the structure is not good, it is all wooden, and you know very well: except for the land, your house is almost worthless! Isn't your offer of 520,000 too unsuitable? ”

"If it's not suitable, you can talk about it!" Boss Chen said.

"Boss Chen! I would like to make a few comments for your reference! 1. The price of the land, your place is 1,780,000 yuan, even if it is 2,000 yuan per square meter, 121 square meters is about 240,000 yuan, and the occupancy price of your house is 280,000 yuan; Second, the four walls of the house are all built for a new one, and you don't need 40,000 yuan, you can calculate it yourself; 3. Wooden houses are prone to fire and are unsafe; It is easy to give birth to termites, which is unhygienic; Cold in winter and hot in summer. You must have experienced a lot of living here! Besides, how much is wood worth? How many cubic meters can you buy for 20,000 yuan? You can do the math. Finally, the interior decoration is neither suitable for business, façade, nor habitation. Think about it, if you find it difficult to go to the toilet! And unhygienic! I only looked at one approximation, and I won't talk about the rest, you think about the price, what is it based on? That's not right, FYI! ”

"Little brother is too mysterious! This is my ancestral house! Boss Chen said.

"It's not that the older the more valuable, it depends on what kind of wood it is, 90% of your wood is fir wood, and when the fir is old, it is easy to give birth to termites and rot, don't you know?" Zhao Zhibao said.

In the end, Zhao Zhibao was not verbose, and said: "I have seen it, I have said it, I will still make a price: 300,000 yuan, whether to sell it or not, you discuss it with your father and then answer." Since I mentioned your father, I still have to say one thing. 1. I'll come to your father tomorrow at 8:10, remember it's 8:10! Second, come and listen to the news. It doesn't matter if the house is sold or not, since I have encountered a patient, I still have to treat it. He turned back to Qiu Zhimin and said, "Uncle! Let's go! ”

Shake hands with each other and say goodbye.

Let's talk about Zhao Zhibao on the way back first. Qiu Lianhua said: "Brother Zhibao! You're cutting too hard, people won't sell it! ”

Qiu Zhimin said: "I don't see it, you can still negotiate, your eloquence is good!" What he said is well-founded, as if you have checked, it is estimated that Boss Chen will not sell it! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Most of what I said is based on evidence, and there are also guesses, for example, the price of the land, I calculated it according to the price we have there, and it should be eight or nine or ten!" You are all worried that Boss Chen will not sell. Let's make a bet. If he doesn't sell it, I'll treat you to a meal at the most exclusive restaurant in the provincial capital. What do you think? ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Okay, good! What about you, Dad? ”

Qiu Zhimin said: "I don't participate in gambling! ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "If you don't bet, I'll bet!" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Okay, don't gamble!" I'm going to my sister's house, so I'll be with you! ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "How do you go to your sister's house and go down the street?" Enter the alley! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "I still have something to do on the street, you go back first!" ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "I am familiar with the road on the street, I will accompany you!" He turned back to Qiu Zhimin and said, "Dad! You go back first! ”

How could Qiu Zhimin not understand his daughter's mind and go back by himself.

What's the matter with Zhao Zhibao? He thinks that today is the first day of the first lunar month, and it is too unruly to go to someone's house to eat empty-handed! You should buy some gifts. So under the pretext that there was something, I wanted to leave the Qiu family, but I didn't expect Qiu Lianhua to come up.

"Brother Zhibao! Do you have anything you want me to help with? Qiu Lianhua asked.

"Yes! I ask you: What kind of alcohol did your grandfather like to drink? ”

"My grandfather's favorite drink is the "Four Specials" wine!"

"What's your grandma's favorite snack?"

"My grandmother likes to eat peach crisp the most."

"Good! Thank you for your help! ”

So Zhao Zhibao went to the food mall and bought two pairs of 4 special and four boxes of peach crisps. A pair of wine and two boxes of peach crisps should be held by Qiu Lianhua, and he also held a pair of wine and two boxes of peach cakes. Say, "Sister Lotus! Let's take the things back, you go back to your house, I'll go to my sister's house, tomorrow at 7:50 I will come to your house to pick up the medicine box, and set off at 8 o'clock to go to Boss Chen's house. Remember to go back and look at the medicine box. ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Brother Zhibao! I don't take this thing! "Shake things with both hands.

Zhao Zhibao said: "Why don't you listen to Master's words? "It's okay if Qiu Lianhua doesn't listen to her brother, but if she doesn't listen to her master, it's a bit too much.

So the two of them went to their respective destinations without mentioning it.

73. Free treatment

At 7:50 on the second day, Zhao Zhibao appeared on time at Qiu's house on the 15th.

"Zhibao! You're too polite, I'm sorry! Qiu Changfu said.

"Grandpa Qiu! It's a little meaning, just don't dislike it! Uncle Qiu! Are you going or not? Zhao Zhibao said.

"It's okay at home, let's go check it out!" Qiu Zhimin said.

"Grandpa! Grandmother! Aunt! Good bye! Lotus! Let's go with the medicine box on our backs! Zhao Zhibao said.

The three people led by Zhao Zhibao came to Boss Chen's house at 8:00 sharp.

Today, Boss Chen was very enthusiastic, made good tea, and the table was full of all kinds of snacks, in addition to Boss Chen, there was also a young woman, an old woman and the patient Father Chen.

Zhao Zhibao didn't ask these people, and he didn't need to introduce them, so he asked the patients directly - the skinny old man is naturally the patient. "Grandpa! You're long-lived! ”

Daddy Chen: "I'm 64 years old. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "64 years old is not old, you stretch out your hand and I'll take a look!" ”

Qiu Lianhua said to the young woman, "Auntie! Bring me a pillow! ”

Zhao Zhibao put Daddy Chen's hand on the pillow and started the pulse. A minute later he said, "Grandpa! Your pulse is weak, you lack energy, and the cold is heavy, so you need to drive away the cold and help the weak! Give you a few stitches to dispel the cold, enter some aura, and it will work! ”

Boss Chen said: "You have the final say on how to treat you!" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Help your father to the room, let him lie on the bed, and warm up the room." Do you know about the heating up? When the temperature rises, take off your coat again, leaving only a pair of shorts, and I'll come in again to get a needle! ”

Boss Chen and the young woman both went to heat up. Zhao Zhibao sat down and chatted with the old woman. Zhao Zhibao asked, "Grandma! How long will you be this year? ”

"What a high life, just over 60."

"60 is the sixtieth year, the year of the sixtieth birthday to celebrate! What month is it? ”

"September 9 for the second half of the year."

"Oh! It was born on the Chung Yeung Festival, good! You must live a long life! ”

"Thank you! I would like to ask, can my wife's illness be cured? ”

"Grandma, don't worry! Grandpa's illness can definitely be cured! ”

Boss Chen came out and said, "Doctor Zhao! It's almost ready. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Tell your lover to come out!" Lotus! Get the medicine box inside! ”

Everything was properly prepared, and Zhao Zhibao began to prick needles. In less than 40 seconds, 18 silver needles were pierced into the patient's upper body, calves, and head, and Boss Chen saw that the tail of the needle was vibrating. Just asked, "Doctor Zhao!" Why does it shake? I've seen needles pricked, and people don't move. ”

Zhao Zhibao shook his hand and didn't answer, he could only point to his own forehead, only to see that the sweat was raining, Qiu Lianhua hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. In about two minutes, Zhao Zhibao quickly pulled out the needle, disinfected, collected the needle, and handed it over to Qiu Lianhua into the medicine box. Zhao Zhibao took out the cotton wool again to help the patient wipe it again, mainly at the needle mouth. Then he said, "Boss Chen! You go get a basin of hot water and scrub it for your dad. You can get dressed. Let your mom do it. I went outside to take a break. ”

About 10 minutes later, Boss Chen, father and son, both came out. Zhao Zhibao asked, "How does Grandpa feel?" Let's talk about it! ”

Grandpa said, "It's easy, it seems to be 10 years younger." There was a cool, sweet smell in the throat, and I couldn't cough it out if I wanted to. Is my illness cured? ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "90% is better, and there are still 10% that need to take some medicine. Lotus! Give grandpa 7 anti-inflammatory pills! ”

Qiu Lianhua poured 7 anti-inflammatory pills in a small bottle as instructed, handed it to her grandfather and said: "Take one pill every day after breakfast, swallow it with warm boiled water, and take it for 7 days." ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "You should also pay attention to keeping warm, don't freeze!" In addition, pay attention to your diet, strengthen nutrition, and after a week, you will be cured! After a pause, he continued: "Now I will answer the question that Boss Chen just raised in the room: Why does the needle tail vibrate?" Tell you, that's the internal force and aura I exerted on my grandfather, tearing up and killing the virus! The needle does not vibrate, it can only stimulate the acupuncture points, and it has little effect! So Lotus, you also have to know that if you don't practice, you can only learn the skin, understand? ”

Lianhua nodded frequently and said, "But can I still practice?" ”

"It's okay to practice martial arts, let's talk about it in the next life after practicing internal skills!" Zhao Zhibao said.

Boss Chen asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

"My rule is that if you are not cured, you will not take a penny! Let's talk about it in a week! ”

"If so, how much should I pay?"

"How much do you think you should give?"

"Little brother can't say that, you have to say a number! We're so prepared! ”

"Don't prepare, in a week, I'll already go back to Pingle, this time it's free! Lotus let's go! ”

"Walk slowly!" Uncle Chen spoke: "There is still a house, don't you want it?" ”

"Oh! And about the house, how did you discuss it, give me a reply! Zhao Zhibao said.

"We have discussed, the house will be sold to you, according to the price you said, 300,000 yuan, cash transaction, one hand to pay, one hand to hand over the house, the period of 10~15 days."

"Is there any other guarantee, a document or something?"

"The guarantee is exempted, isn't it enough to have Director Qiu of the People's Liberation Army testify? This document still has to be established, go to the real estate company to do it! Now it's a holiday, let's talk about it when we get to work! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Now I'll go back, a star."
