Zhang Caiyan rented a small house with one bedroom and one living room.
The total area is only about 40 square meters, which is an out-of-print type.
As soon as you enter the door, you will find the bedroom. There are two small compartments at the door, one is the kitchen and the other is the bathroom.
"Mother……"
As soon as Luo Yanning walked in, a girl who looked to be seven or eight years old timidly hid behind Zhang Caiyan.
The girl is short and thin, with a sickly white face and purple lips like a ripe grape.
Luo Yanning learned from Zhang Qian that Chen Gang's daughter suffered from congenital heart disease and was originally scheduled to undergo surgery this year.
Zhang Caiyan did not return to Shishi after handling Chen Gang's funeral this time. Instead, she rented a house and stayed in the capital in order to find a hospital for her daughter's surgery.
"Rourou, my name is Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo is dad's good friend. He came to see us."
When she mentioned her late husband, Zhang Caiyan's eyes instantly became moist.
In recent months, although the couple has seen each other much less than before, these have been the happiest months for Chen Gang and Zhang Caiyan.
Chen Gang went from receiving a dead salary of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan to a monthly salary of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and his income increased nearly ten times.
The couple is full of energy every day, and whenever they have free time, they dream of a happy life in the future.
Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people, and a happy life has just begun and is about to end.
If her life could be repeated, Zhang Caiyan would rather live in poverty with Chen Gang than experience such short-term happiness.
It's a pity that there are no ifs, things have already happened, and no one can change anything.
In the dark, it seems as if all the endings have already been determined.
"Luo...but mom, why do I think he is more like an older brother?"
Chen Rou poked her head out from behind Zhang Caiyan, her big eyes flickering at Luo Yanning. He didn't look like an uncle no matter how she looked at him.
Luo Yanning looked at Chen Rou with gentle eyes and said softly: "Then Rourou, please call me Brother Luo from now on, okay?"
"Well, okay..." After Chen Rou finished her sentence, a blush flashed across her sickly fair face, and she actually felt a little shy.
"Mr. Luo, is this...appropriate?" Zhang Caiyan looked at Luo Yanning with a flattered expression.
She had long heard from her husband that the company's big boss, Mr. Luo, was very easy-going, but she didn't expect Luo Yanning to be so easy-going.
When we met for the first time, we called our daughter brother and sister. This is so easy-going!
"There's nothing inappropriate. Rourou will be my little sister from now on."
Luo Yanning turned to look at Zhang Caiyan and said: "If my sister-in-law and Rourou encounter any trouble in the future, or need help, feel free to come to me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
"Mr. Luo..." After Zhang Caiyan heard Luo Yanning's assurance, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.
"Mom, mom, don't cry. Mom, don't cry. Didn't we agree that no one is allowed to cry in the future? Please, mom, please don't cry."
When Xiao Chenrou saw Zhang Caiyan crying, she cried too. While crying, she put her feet on her feet and wiped Zhang Caiyan's tears with her sleeves.
"So Rourou, mommy doesn't cry, mommy doesn't cry, Rourou doesn't cry anymore, good daughter, she doesn't cry anymore, she doesn't cry anymore."
When Zhang Caiyan saw her daughter crying, she felt heartbroken and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the backs of her hands.
When Chen Rou saw that her mother had stopped crying, her crying gradually became quieter, and her little nose wrinkled and sniffed several times.
Luo Yanning felt uncomfortable seeing her mother-in-law crying sadly.
The reason why he came to see Zhang Caiyan and Chen Rou today and gave them a guarantee was also the result of his careful consideration.
Luo Yanning always felt that she had an unshirkable responsibility for this accident involving Wu Mingshi and Chen Gang.
If he hadn't been tempted to drink that night, the accident might not have happened to the two of them.
If the two of them had decided to stop them when they returned to Shishi City in the snow, the accident might not have happened.
if……
If you can foresee the accident in advance, there are many ways to avoid the tragedy.
It's a pity that there is no if, and I don't have the ability to foresee the future.
Things have happened, and it's too late to say anything now. All Luo Yanning can do is try his best to compensate the two families.
Only in this way can the guilt and guilt in his heart be alleviated.
After the couple's emotions stabilized, Luo Yanning asked:
"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard from Zhang Qian that you brought Rourou to the capital this time for medical treatment? Have you contacted the hospital?"
Zhang Caiyan said: "This morning, I took Rourou to the Children's Hospital to register. She has to wait until the morning of tomorrow before she can be seen."
"Oh, that's it." Luo Yanning said as he took out the bank card with 10 million in cash that Lin Ya gave him from the left pocket of his jacket and put it on the small table in front of him and Zhang Caiyan, "Sister-in-law, this
There is some money in it, you and Rourou can spend it first."
Before coming, Luo Yanning made two preparations. The left pocket contained a bank card with 10 million in it, and the right pocket contained a bank card with 1 million in it.
If he doesn't have a good temper with Zhang Caiyan, or if she tries to be miserable with him as soon as he gets started, Luo Yanning will give her the 1 million in his right pocket and draw a clear line with her. From now on, he won't owe anyone to anyone and they will have no contact with each other till death.
If they can get along well and have the right temperament, Luo Yanning will give Zhang Caiyan the bank card with 10 million in her left pocket and will provide her with continuous help in the future.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Luo Yanning could feel that both Zhang Caiyan and Chen Rou were kind and honest people, and he was willing to provide them with the help he could.
After comprehensive evaluation and consideration, Luo Yanning finally decided to give the 10 million bank card to Zhang Caiyan and Chen Rou.
With this 10 million as a guarantee, the couple will probably be able to live a more relaxed life in the future.
Using the online "financial freedom" standard, a deposit of 1,000 is enough to achieve financial freedom in a small city like Shishi.
Not to mention those high financial returns, even if you deposit 10 million in the bank and only get guaranteed interest every year, it will be almost 400,000+.
With an annual income of 400,000 yuan, he is definitely a high-income group in Shishi.
If you don't spend all your money indiscriminately and just spend it on daily expenses, it will definitely be enough.
This 10 million is also part of Luo Yanning's compensation to the couple.
After the couple accepted the money, he felt less guilty towards Chen Gang.
"Mr. Luo, please put it away quickly. We still have money. In the past few years, Lao Chen and I have saved 280,000 yuan for Rourou's surgery fee, which should be enough."
Zhang Caiyan hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to refuse.
To be honest, Zhang Caiyan was very moved when faced with the bank card presented by Luo Yanning.
The most profitable pillar of the family was gone, and the daughter was going to have another surgery. The family was short of money.
But reason told Zhang Caiyan that she could not take money that did not belong to her.
After Luo Yanning saw Zhang Caiyan's reaction, she knew that she had not helped the wrong person.
"Take it, sister-in-law, this money should be regarded as the final dividend for Lao Chen. Rourou needs money for surgery, and money for recovery after surgery. In the future, she will go to school, high school, and university. Where will the money be used?
There are still more.”
Luo Yanning couldn't help but put the bank into Zhang Caiyan's hand. The more she didn't want it, the more Luo Yanning wanted to give it.
"..." After hearing Luo Yanning's words, Zhang Caiyan hesitated again.
As Luo Yanning said, there will be many places to use money in the future. Can I make money and pay for my daughter's college education?
During the recovery period of my daughter, do I have the money to buy her nutritional supplements and do she have the money to do rehabilitation training for her?
People are dealing with money all their lives. Money may not be everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.
"If my sister-in-law makes me a friend, just take this card. If you don't want to have any contact with me in the future, let's just say goodbye."
As Luo Yanning spoke, she stood up from the stool and reminded:
"Even if my sister-in-law doesn't think about herself, she should still think about Rourou.
Although I am not a wealthy person, knowing me is definitely not a bad thing for Rourou.
In this life, no matter whether you are poor or rich, there are times when you need help.
Knowing one more friend can also lead to another path, right?"
After Zhang Caiyan heard Luo Yanning's words, the chaotic emotions in her mind instantly became much clearer, and she even felt like she was enlightened!
"Then...I'll accept the money, Rourou, please thank Uncle Luo quickly."
After Zhang Caiyan hesitated for a moment, she finally decided to accept Luo Yanning's kindness, all for the sake of her daughter.
If you repeatedly reject the kindness of others, will others still show kindness to you?
Again and again, not again and again, these are Zhang Caiyan’s life experiences.
"Mom, you should thank Brother Luo, right?"
Chen Rou tilted her head and looked at Zhang Caiyan, her little face full of doubts. Why did she suddenly become Uncle Luo, as she promised, Brother Luo?
Compared to calling Uncle Luo, Chen Rou still prefers to call Luo Yanning "Brother Luo".
She feels that the title "Brother Luo" is more affectionate.
Zhang Caiyan was still not used to calling her daughter and Luo Yanning, and she looked slightly embarrassed.
"Thank you, Brother Luo! With your money, my mother can suffer less."
Chen Rou looked at Luo Yanning with a hopeful look on her face and said, "Rourou really wants to grow up quickly.
In that case, Rourou can work and earn money to share some of the burden with her mother."
"Time waits for no one, and people will always grow up. Your task now is to enjoy your campus time and don't think about messy things."
Luo Yanning stretched out her hand to rub Chen Rou's head, and said earnestly: "At your age, you can't help your mother with your random thoughts.
Focus on studying, improve your grades, get into a good university, and find a good job in the future, so that you can earn more and make your mother's life easier."
Chen Rou seemed to understand what Luo Yanning said, she nodded obediently and said:
"I know Brother Luo. I will study hard in the future and make a lot of money in the future so that my mother can live a good life."
"Rourou, be good, as long as you are healthy and happy, that's better than anything else."
Zhang Caiyan reached out and took her daughter into her arms, her face full of joy.
Luo Yanning looked at the deep love between mother and daughter, and a soft place in her heart was touched.
"Mr. Luo, you haven't eaten yet? Why don't you have something to eat at our place tonight? Rourou said she wanted to eat dumplings. In the afternoon, I went to the vegetable market and bought some meat fillings to prepare for the evening.
Eat dumplings.”
After talking about business, Zhang Caiyan invited Luo Yanning to stay for dinner. She was really not being polite to Luo Yanning, but sincerely wanted to treat him to a meal and express her gratitude.
Zhang Caiyan couldn't bear to go to a big hotel outside. Her daughter's surgery didn't necessarily cost much, and the recovery after the surgery was also a bottomless pit. Every little bit she could save was worth it.
So I could only treat Luo Yanning to dinner at home.
Chen Rou also looked at Luo Yanning expectantly and whispered: "Rou Rou also wants to have dinner with Brother Luo."
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Okay, making dumplings is my strong point."
"Mr. Luo...can you also make dumplings?"
When Zhang Caiyan heard Luo Yanning's words, it was like hearing that the emperor knew how to carry a pole.
In Zhang Caiyan's perception, a big boss like Luo Yanning must be well-dressed and well-fed every day without touching the spring water with his fingers.
Let alone cooking, knowing how to boil water is considered good.
I never expected that Luo Yanning could make dumplings and said that making dumplings was his strength. This was outrageous.
Luo Yanning said nonsense: "Occasionally I pack some, just think of it as a decompression game."
"Oh, that's it..." Zhang Caiyan nodded to express that she understood.
These days, workplace pressure is increasing, and everyone has their own way of relieving stress.
Some people relieve stress by running, some by playing ball, some by fishing, and still others by doing housework...
Although it is rare to relieve stress by making dumplings, it is not uncommon, and it is not unique to Luo Yanning.
Zhang Caiyan saw that the time was almost up and said, "Mr. Luo, please wait outside for a while.
I'll go to the kitchen to knead the noodles and mix the stuffing. I'll make the noodles later, and after mixing the stuffing, I'll bring it out and you can make it with me."
The small house Zhang Caiyan rented only had a small kitchen, which was fine for one person to enter, but it was a bit crowded for two people and they couldn't even turn around.
Luo Yanning took the initiative to invite Ying and said, "Sister-in-law, please play with Rourou outside for a while. I'll make the noodles and mix the stuffing. You can make the dough with me later."
Zhang Caiyan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how can this be okay! Mr. Luo, you are the most distinguished guest of me and Rourou, how can I let you do such rough work!"
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong to think so. Making dumplings is an art, not a menial job."
Luo Yanning said as she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
"This..." Zhang Caiyan wanted to persuade her a few more words, but Luo Yanning had already rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen.
Ta da da, da da da--!
Less than two minutes after Luo Yanning entered, there was a rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that the person cutting the vegetables is very skilled in cutting and is a master!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
In less than five minutes, Luo Yanning came out of the kitchen with a large bowl of chopped pork filling in her hand.
