Chapter 22: I'll figure it out
Not long after dinner, my mother called back again and said that Aunt Qi's funeral had almost been done. Under her persuasion, Yingying has agreed to live in our house. Tomorrow she will stay in City C to deal with some property issues left by Aunt Qi and pack up her things. Probably the day after tomorrow, I will come back with Yingying.
I hurriedly asked my mom what time it would be home, and when the time came, I would pick them up at the station. But my mother said no, firstly, she did not know which bus to take when she came back, and secondly, she did not want to affect my work, because she was afraid that if I asked for leave from the company in order to pick them up, it would leave a bad impression on the leaders of my company.
That's how my mom is. I finally managed to get a job that satisfied her, and she cherished it even more than me. I didn't say anything more on the phone, but I had already decided in my heart that the day after tomorrow, I must go to the station to pick them up. Although my mother is in good health, she is also in her fifties. The person who brought it back was a blind man again, and it was definitely inconvenient to move. In addition, this blind man moved here this time, and he must have brought a lot of luggage. If I don't pick it up, this old blind man will carry so much luggage, so he won't be tired to death?
After a few more words, my mom hung up the phone. I realized that from now on, there really will be one more person in the family, and it will be even more difficult. Thankfully, my work issues have been solved. At least until I lose my job, I can still have the basic expenses of my family. Although the new female boss Tang Xiaoru may have bad intentions to keep me, if she is not too much, I should still cherish this job. Now I am no longer the ignorant teenager who was young and impulsive when he was in trouble. After years of life, I have learned that forbearance and restraint are important means of survival in this society. Blindly being stubborn or arrogant will not bring me a penny of income.
Moreover, I and the female boss, in the final analysis, don't have any deep hatred and hatred. I don't believe she's going to kill me for that little thing. It's a big deal that she deliberately embarrasses me at work, or when I make some small mistakes, she will deduct as much as I can from my salary and bonus. These things, even without her, I have encountered them before when I was working elsewhere, and they are not a big deal. Life is like this, if you don't learn to endure, then you won't be able to live a stable life.
And I don't want anything else now, I just want to be able to be safe and stable, smooth and smooth, don't let my family worry about me, don't be too big, and let my family worry about me.
Originally, Sun Dong said that he would come to me for a drink and celebrate in the evening, but when it came, he called and said that something was too late. The next time he invited me to drink, it was to make amends for this time.
I smiled, knowing that he probably saw another beautiful woman out of nowhere, and was ready to start his pickling operation again. I don't know how many times this situation has happened since I became friends with him, and I have long been used to it.
Since Sun Dong is here, I don't seem to have much to do at night. I'm not a big fan of watching TV, and I don't have the habit of reading books. The house was empty and boring. So, I planned to go to my sister's house, see my little nephew, hug him, and play with him.
My nephew Liang Liang is eighteen months old, and he has just learned to walk, so it's the best time to play. Every time I see him, I always like to put him around my neck and run around as a horse. Liang Liang will smile happily at this time, and ask me to come again, come again.
I really love my little nephew, and no matter what he asks me to do, I always don't hesitate to do it for him. Even my sister sometimes said that Liangliang was her biological son and didn't spoil him as much as I did. But Liangliang is so cute, don't say that I'm an uncle, who wouldn't like it when I see it?
Thinking of my little nephew, I couldn't stay at home anymore. I locked the door, got on my bike, and headed to my sister's house.
My sister's home is not far from my house, and it is not close. It's about 15 minutes by bike. It was a newly built community, and the environment was not bad. My sister bought the smallest commercial house in this community, and it has the highest floor and the cheapest price. In this way, she spent almost all the savings of her husband's family and my sister, and she had to take out a loan from the bank to buy it.
But no matter what, with a decent home, my sister already feels very happy. Although there is almost no decoration, although for this house, the couple has to pay off the bank interest principal for twenty years.
Not long after, I arrived at my sister's community. I parked my bicycle downstairs at my sister's house, climbed to the sixth floor in a hurry, and knocked on the door of my sister's house.
However, after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. Aren't my sister and brother-in-law at home? No way? Just downstairs, I saw that the lights in their house were on.
After knocking twice more and making sure that there was no one at home, I had to take out my phone and call my brother-in-law. My sister doesn't have a cell phone, my brother-in-law has one. So to contact my sister, I can only call my brother-in-law's number.
The phone rang a few times and then it rang, but the voice from inside was my sister's: "Hey, Xiaoyong, is there something wrong?" ”
"Sister, where are you? I'm at your doorstep, but there's no one at home. ”
"Oh, we're in the hospital, and Grandpa Liangliang had a heart attack and was just sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."
I was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How is it?" Is it serious? Is it dangerous? ”
"It shouldn't be bad, but the doctor recommended immediate hospitalization. By the way, there you ...... Still have money? The advance payment for hospitalization costs 3,000 yuan, and your brother-in-law and I don't have so much money at home, and we are borrowing it now. ”
"How much worse? I'll make up some more here! ”
"Grandma Liangliang just went home to get the money, but it is estimated that it will not be much, and it will not exceed 1,000 yuan at most. Me and your brother-in-law...... Now I can only take out less than 500 yuan, which is at least half of 3,000 yuan. ”
I was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched my pocket. Now I only have more than 200 yuan in my pocket. Originally, I still had 500 dollars to use this month. But the day before yesterday, I spent more than 100 yuan on going to the bar, and I spent more than 100 yuan on inviting Wei Hai and Shi Shanshan to dinner at noon today. I don't usually save any money, and I have two passbooks in the bank, but I don't even add up to a hundred yuan. Suddenly I was asked to take out at least 1,500, but it really stumped me.
However, I know that my sister will only have a harder time than me. My brother-in-law's family is not rich in the first place, and my brother-in-law has only one son, and none of the other brothers and sisters. Now that the old man is sick, my sister and my brother-in-law will of course take full responsibility. But I know their financial situation best, and it is really impossible to scrape together 3,000 yuan. Moreover, these days, it is not so easy to borrow money. If I don't help them, maybe the advance payment for hospitalization alone will stump them.
Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate, and said stubbornly: "It's okay, I'll figure out a way for this thousand and five." What hospital are you in now? I took the money and came right over! ”
