Chapter 55 Is there such a thing?
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I bought some gifts and took a bus to Qiu Yue's house. In fact, I should have found a time to go there. Qiu Yue's father was hospitalized because of poor health a few years ago.
I was heartbroken over this.
Qiu Yue's house is not very far from my place, it only takes about 20 minutes to arrive, so I didn't tell him that I was going there before I came because I knew that he must be taking care of his old father at home.
When I arrived at the door of Qiu Yue's house, before I called him, I heard the sound of the father and son quarreling in the house, which immediately made me a little overwhelmed.
Father Qiu: "How many times have I told you that my health is fine and I don't need to go to a hospital for a checkup. I just need to rest at home. Can you please stop mentioning going to the hospital with me?!"
Qiu Yue: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor. If you are sick, take medicine. Why do you have to fight with your body? I don't understand. You keep telling me to save money every day. If your body is gone,
Why do you need so much money? Dad, do you know that you are my only relative in the world!"
After Qiu Yue said this, he walked out of the door angrily. When his eyes were red, he was just about to light a cigarette, but he saw me standing at the door.
He opened the door for me, I patted Qiu Yue's shoulder, and then walked in. When I saw Father Qiu sitting on the chair with a haggard look, I felt very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, it's me, um, I'm coming to see you. Happy New Year."
When Father Qiu saw that I was here, he not only did not "reinforce" himself, but instead asked me to persuade Qiu Yue.
"Xiao Zhou, you're here just in time, hurry up and persuade this bastard. He's almost mad at him before he's dead. Are you saying that this New Year's Eve guy is taking me to some hospital for a checkup? Is that ridiculous?"
I put the things in my hands on the table, but before I could say anything, Qiu Yue rushed into the room again and retorted: "If you have to choose a day to go to the hospital, will there be so many births, old age, sickness and death in this world?! I
It seems that you are getting more confused as you get older!"
"You bastard, why are you talking to me? Do you really want to piss me off? If you really have such a big temper, then you should do a good job in your career for me. You are almost thirty years old, you know
I didn't know that I could hold up the sky when I was your age...cough cough!" Father Qiu was so angry that his eyes were red when he coughed. He didn't know whether it was because of sadness or because of the cough.
I glared at Qiu Yue and whispered, "Stop talking!", then I quickly walked up to Qiu's father and patted his back gently. Qiu Yue didn't say anything more, and went to pour a glass with a complicated expression.
Give water to Father Qiu.
Seeing that both father and son had stopped talking, I finally said: "Uncle, you asked me to comment just now, so I'll give you a fair word." When I spoke, I gave Qiu Yue a look, signaling him not to do it yet.
say.
"If you are really feeling unwell, then let's go to the hospital for a check-up. It's no big deal. Aren't we still there? Over the years, Qiu Yue and I are not blood brothers, but we are more like blood relatives.
Brothers who have a close relationship. Between father and son, it is good to have a heart-to-heart relationship. You hope that your son will succeed, but your child also needs you to give him a chance to fulfill his filial piety. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be raised but cannot be loved. This is the biggest regret in the world.
"
After I finished speaking, the expressions of both father and son finally softened a little. Qiu Yue half-crouched in front of his father, opened his mouth, and finally spoke while swallowing his tongue.
"Dad, Mom is no longer here. Dong Li actually said what we wanted to say but didn't dare to say. In terms of ability, I will definitely not be as good as you back then, but I will always have a chance when I am young, and I will
Go ahead and work hard, but can you take some advice, don't compete with your body, just do a check-up, it's nothing. Have you forgotten what the doctor said years ago? Check back regularly and pay attention to rest."
Father Qiu raised his head, sighed, and finally nodded slowly. In this way, Qiu Yue and I drove Father Qiu's old Crown to the hospital for a physical examination.
When we arrived at the hospital, Qiu Yue accompanied his father to arrange for an examination, while I went to the smoking area to wait. Thinking about what happened to Qiu Yue's family, I felt very uncomfortable.
At that time, Qiu Yue and his family were still in a good financial situation. In the early years, Qiu Yue's father was in business, but it gradually went downhill. The company went bankrupt and owed a lot of debt. Qiu's mother also left the father and son behind because of this.
He never came back. Later, Qiu's father's health became worse and worse. It was not easy for him to pay off his debts while raising a family and supporting Qiu Yue through college.
While I was recalling this, Qiu Yue also walked out. His father was already inside doing checks, but it took time.
After Qiu Yue came, he looked complicated but didn't say much. I put a hand on his shoulder, took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth to light it.
"It's no big deal, there are still brothers here."
He nodded and slowly exhaled the smoke, "It's been another year. It's a cycle every year. When can I get up again?"
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Didn't you tell yourself before you went out? You are still young and can still work hard. What are you afraid of? Why are you so timid now?"
"But sometimes, it doesn't mean that you will succeed if you work hard..."
I interrupted him and retorted: "Don't think so much, just do your job well. By the way, I should go back to City A the day after tomorrow. My buddy is waiting for you to come back with full health in City A!" After that, I fisted my fist.
He hammered his arm to express encouragement.
"I will come back with full blood."
…
On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I had an early dinner, then said goodbye to my mother Zhou, packed my luggage and headed to the high-speed rail station. It was time to go back to City A. While on the high-speed rail, I sent a message to Ning Bingrou.
, told her that I would go to Zhongtian Group and continue working on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Ning Bingrou: "Just go find Mandy. I've already told her about this."
Rarely, I found that when she chatted with me now, she would add a modal particle at the end, such as "what" this time. I replied her "ok" and then contacted Mandy.
I pondered in front of the phone screen for a long time before finally typing this sentence: "Sister Man, I heard that I can return to Zhongtian Group and continue working, right? But... I sent you my resignation letter years ago.
How should we handle the matter?"
Mandy: "What kind of resignation letter? Is there such a thing? Let me remind you, we officially start work at nine o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the new year, so don't be late."
I suddenly couldn't help laughing. Of course I knew that Mandy was "pretending to be stupid". How could she not know about the email she sent, but I didn't expect that she would give me such a reply.
