Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Zhou Yize didn't sleep well all night, he was always dreaming, Meng Li leaned in his arms, whispered softly, and beat his chest with "powder fist" from time to time, which made him feel depressed and short of breath.
As he couldn't breathe more and more, Zhou Yize woke up suddenly, and when he woke up, he saw Cheng Yi's arm was across his chest.
He slept on his side, and when he woke up he was sweating profusely, and there was a "big stove" clinging to him without knowing it at all.
He stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Yi's arm away, before he was ready to get up, he felt something behind him against him, pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed...
Cheng Yi didn't sleep for a long time and woke up after seven o'clock, but this time he didn't wake up naturally, he was pushed awake abruptly by his cousin. With a hoarse voice and a dazed face, he asked what was wrong.
Zhou Yize stretched out his hand to flick his little brother, and teased, "It's very energetic."
Cheng Yi's mind was in a mess, but he was startled awake by this action. He grabbed his little brother and blushed a little.
Cheng Yi whispered, "Don't play blindly."
Zhou Yize looked at him like a little wife, and when he thought of his dream, half of his face was about to freeze. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You can't be so shy, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old is better than a young boy." Girls have thin skins."
Cheng Yi listened to his old-fashioned education to himself, and when he had no time to refute in the future, he changed his mind.
Cheng Yi, who has zero love experience, scored a "full score" in reading comprehension, thinking that Zhou Yize was implying that he should be more straightforward.
After Zhou Yize finished speaking, he realized that his silly cousin was looking at him more and more wrongly. Before he could react, his little brother was caught.
Zhou Yize was alert all over, and the half-weak little Ozawa instantly became excited, and his "elephant nose" pushed up his pants.
Cheng Yi looked at his "elephant nose" seriously and said, "Good morning," he pinched his own bird and continued, "Come, say hello."
Zhou Yize: "...I'm such an idiot!"
"Why do you get up so early? You don't have to work anyway." Zheng Quan was a little surprised to see the two of them coming to his office so early. He cast his eyes on Cheng Yi's face, and then at Zhou Yize who was standing beside him with a sullen expression. He tentatively asked, "Cheng Yi, has your fever gone? What's wrong with your face?"
The corners of Cheng Yi's mouth turned red, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was beaten.
Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I rubbed against the wall at night."
Zhou Yize snorted, "I'm too thick-skinned, so I need to grind it out."
Cheng Yi held his breath in his heart. He was full of joy, but his cousin punched him when he came up, but this punch brought Cheng Yi's IQ back.
Seeing the conflict between the two brothers, Zheng Quan quickly stopped the topic, "Don't worry, you two are so grown up, why are you still arguing? It's not that you two are looking for me?"
"I just came to ask Uncle Zhao about that matter, what do you want to do?"
Zheng Quan was really confused by that rascal yesterday, but afterward his anger subsided and he thought about the problem carefully, thinking it was not a big deal.
"Actually, it's nothing. He doesn't dare to cause trouble here even if he is a foreigner. Besides, the construction site is no more than other places, and there are more workers. He doesn't have the guts to come here. You two just don't go to the hospital. Otherwise, you will be ordered and be punished." It will be troublesome if the rascal stops. After a while, he will go back naturally when he can't do anything."
"But... what about Uncle Zhao?" Cheng Yi frowned.
Zheng Quan's face was dark and worried, he didn't speak immediately, he reached for the cigarette case on the table and took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and slowly exhaled the smoke, as if he wanted to let his sorrow out.
He breathed a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes and flicked the cigarette ash, "Let me tell you the truth, Lao Zhao is also aware of his physical condition, and he chatted with me for a while after he woke up. I listen to what he means... listen to that meaning I guess it's... not going to be treated."
He didn't know which nerve these words touched Zhou Yize, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zheng Quan, his brows furrowed.
Cheng Yi pursed the corners of his mouth, his face was heavy, "Uncle Zhao is afraid that money will be useless?"
The cigarette ash fell on the table, Zheng Quan didn't say much, he just said that if Lao Zhao took the initiative to cure him, he would naturally be willing to lend him money, but Lao Zhao didn't want to live at all*...
The three were still talking, Zheng Quan's cell phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number, he hesitated for a while, said sorry and answered the phone.
"Zheng Gong!" Old Zhao's anxious voice sounded.
Zheng Quan was a little surprised, "Old Zhao? Why do you..."
"I can't get through to your number with my mobile phone, so I borrowed a mobile phone from someone else."
Zheng Quan was a little embarrassed, yesterday the rascal kept calling him, he was very annoyed, but the phone couldn't be turned off, so he had to drag Lao Zhao's number into the blacklist.
"Don't talk about this, why are you so anxious?"
Old Zhao said anxiously: "My brother and my family Zhao Qing said they were going to the construction site to find you, but I couldn't stop them. My brother has a bad temper and is very aggressive. I was afraid that he would do something stupid. There are so many people on the construction site. I'm really afraid..."
Zheng Quan didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so impulsive, he sighed, "I understand what you mean, Old Zhao, those workers won't do anything casually, and I have to be responsible for injuring someone. Don't mess with these things, don't worry!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for causing you trouble."
"By the way," Zheng Quan looked at the anxious Cheng Yi and the two paused, "Is there anyone else over there? Just yourself?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Well, Cheng Yi and the others want to go and see you, is that okay?" Zheng Quan didn't know what would happen in the future, and he didn't want to let these two little ancestors get involved, just as they always wanted to go and see the old man. Zhao, just take this opportunity to let them pass.
Old Zhao smiled, "Okay."
Cheng Yi and Zhou Yize went to the hospital by car.Old Zhao was sitting alone on the hospital bed, and his spirit was not as bad as he imagined. He sat blankly, as if he was lost in thought.
It was quite quiet in the ward. There were patients lying on the other two beds, resting with their eyes closed. They were surrounded by family members, and Lao Zhao was alone.
"Uncle Zhao?" Cheng Yi called him softly.
When Lao Zhao came back to his senses, he saw the two of them laughed, but they didn't make a sound, they just got off the hospital bed, and he pointed to the outside as a signal to go out.
Cheng Yi nodded, put the fruit sold on the road on the table, and went out with him.
There are people coming and going in the corridor, busy.They found a bench and sat down.
"Let's just talk here. I can't go too far. A nurse will come over to take my temperature later." Old Zhao didn't have any worries on his face, he still smiled.
"I heard Mr. Zheng say you... say you..." Cheng Yi hesitated to speak, not knowing how to speak.
"Oh, you said treatment, that's right, I don't plan to treat it anymore, I will go home and raise it. Isn't this disease called a terminal illness? It is a waste of money if it is treated." Old Zhao said very flatly, as if he was talking about something Things that have nothing to do with themselves.
Zhou Yize remained silent.
Cheng Yi didn't expect him to react like this, "In fact, the medical conditions are advanced now, and radiotherapy is available. Actually, it's not as terrible as you imagined..."
"Cheng Yi," Lao Zhao interrupted him, "I have two sons in my family. The younger one is in junior high school, and the older one is in the third year of high school. The college entrance examination is next year."
"The whole family relies on me for support. I am the backbone of the family. If I collapse, the family's source of income will be cut off. If I insist on treatment, no matter how many years I live, I will not be able to earn money. When I die, the children will have to pay all the debts for medical treatment, and they don’t need to bear so much for me when they are young.”
Cheng Yi was silent, and he looked up at Zhou Yize who was standing. His cousin frowned tightly, and there seemed to be an unresolved worry between his brows. His eyes were complicated, and for a while, people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Cheng Yi didn't have time to ask him what he was thinking now, but Lao Zhao made it clear that he couldn't say anything more.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Are you not going to sell breakfast?"
Old Zhao was stunned for a moment before he understood what Cheng Yi was talking about. He smiled and said, "You remember the joke quite clearly. That's right, I can't sell it, but let the boy set up a stall. I used to Let her go, she is still not happy, the woman's family is playing mahjong at home all day long. This time there is no way..."
As he said that, he laughed hahaha. After laughing for a while, the laughter became dry, and finally the laughter became weaker and turned into a bitter smile, "She has to carry the house alone." This sentence was said very lightly, as if nothing It's like a sigh.
Later, the nurse also checked Lao Zhao's body, and Lao Zhao waved his hand to let the two go back.
"Then we'll come see you in two days." Cheng Yi said before leaving, but everyone knew that there was no future, Lao Zhao was going back to his hometown, and they would never see each other again.
But Lao Zhao didn't say anything, and agreed with a smile.
