Early the next morning, Li Qingyun went to town to take a bus, preparing to go to the city to visit Hu Dahai's father. The road was very difficult to walk. The road from Qinglong Town to Lijiazhai was being widened. The road was full of stones, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass.
It was more difficult for vehicles to pass, so Li Qingyun thought he should buy a car and take a detour to the west of the Xiandai River.
When passing by his grandfather's medical clinic, Li Qingyun gave them space vegetables. Except for tomatoes, he gave them everything in space. Because he was afraid that Sun Daqi and his wife would ask about tomatoes. After all, when he gave them tomatoes before, he said they came from other farmers.
bought.
Since he was running here, he couldn't bring too many things, otherwise it would arouse others' suspicion. At this time, Li Qingyun felt that it would be more convenient to have a car. It didn't require how good it was, as long as it could drive and transport goods. In the past, in the city
The rented Great Wall pickup truck is good. It is very suitable for people with small space like him. It does not need a large load, as long as it can load things. As for how much it can load, it depends on the specific needs.
Yesterday, he transferred 500,000 yuan to Hu Dahai. He still has more than 1 million yuan in his account. He has not had any big expenses recently, which allows Li Qingyun to free up his hands and realize some of his previous dreams.
It took more than two hours on the road. The shuttle bus to the city was really cheating. It stopped whenever it saw people and couldn't run fast at all. If you drive, you can get there in more than an hour. This made Li Qingyun firm on the idea of buying a car. In the city
Find a remote place, take out watermelon and cantaloupe from the small space, and carry them in a sturdy convenient bag as a gift for visiting patients.
Hu Dahai's father lives in the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He suffered from a slight crooked mouth due to a cerebral infarction due to anger. The situation is not optimistic. Li Qingyun was carrying a convenient bag of cantaloupes and holding a large watermelon. When he walked into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
He was so curious that he kept turning around so much, not because the watermelon he held was too big, but because the smell of the cantaloupe was so fragrant along the way. Passers-by turned around in surprise, wanting to see what the smell was.
.
When I got on the elevator, the fragrance in the elevator was even stronger. Everyone stretched their heads to find the source of the fragrance, but after seeing it, no one had the nerve to ask anything. Hu Dahai's father lives on the 18th floor, which belongs to the senior cadre ward.
Wealthy businessmen like them have a lot of dealings with the government, so it is understandable that they receive some special treatment.
After passing the fifteenth floor, there were fewer people in the elevator. One of them, a young man in his thirties, who was gentle and elegant, had been standing behind Li Qingyun. At this time, there were fewer people in the elevator. He couldn't help it anymore and asked: "
Sir, where did you buy this cantaloupe? It tastes so good!"
"Haha, these are homegrown, all-natural green fruits. Not only do they have a strong aroma, but they also taste better." At this point, the elevator stopped at the 18th floor. Li Qingyun nodded to the man and walked out of the elevator, and the man
He also walked out of the elevator.
"The patient I am visiting is also on the 18th floor." The young man explained, and then said, "Such a good thing should be sold in the city, and the price is higher than what is sold in the countryside."
"Someone in the city came to collect it, so it can be considered as being sold in the city. Wait a minute..." Li Qingyun said, stopped and put the watermelon on the ground, took out two cantaloupe from the convenience bag, handed it to the man, and said, "
I didn’t bring much today, so let me try it for you two. If you think it tastes good, you can visit our Lijiazhai in Qinglong Town. The fruits and vegetables there will definitely satisfy you.”
The gentle man hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. He smiled and said, "If the patient hadn't had a bad appetite these past two days, I wouldn't have bothered you. Let's do this. I'll give you the money, and you can take whatever you have to pay."
"Haha, are you scolding me? Isn't it just two melons? As for collecting money. Okay, okay, we are all here to see patients. Don't talk nonsense here. Let the people who come and go make people laugh.
." Li Qingyun did not accept his money, picked up the watermelon, and continued walking forward.
"Hey, how can I be so embarrassed...Thank you, brother." Originally, this man was gentle and polite, and called him "Mr." After accepting Li Qingyun's two melons, he actually changed his name to "brother," and they became intimate with each other a lot.
It was quite a coincidence that the patients they wanted to visit were very close to each other and faced each other at the door of the ward. However, Li Qingyun discovered that there were two guards on duty at the door of the patient he was visiting. They were definitely not ordinary people. Although Hu Dahai's father was Yun
A well-known real estate developer in a deserted city doesn't even have a bodyguard at the door.
The door was not closed, so Li Qingyun pushed the door open and went in. The man glanced at the room Li Qingyun entered in surprise, then said something to the guard and entered the ward.
Hu Dahai had been accompanying Li Qingyun in the ward and was very happy when he saw Li Qingyun come in. Hu Dahai's father, Hu Daifu, was lying on the hospital bed and was in a very bad state of mind. When Li Qingyun came in, he just responded and had no intention of speaking.
Hu Dahai explained: "The old man is having a temper, his mouth is crooked, and he is not speaking well. He is not happy that others come to see him. No, he is still angry that he has not eaten breakfast."
Li Qingyun nodded to express his understanding, raised the cantaloupe in his hand, smiled at the bearded man and said: "Uncle, I came to see you, and I didn't bring anything good, so I brought some fruits grown at home. They are all natural and non-toxic.
Pollution, eating it is good for your health, how about I wash a cantaloupe for you?"
Originally, the old man was angry, with a sullen face, and ignored no one, but when he smelled the cantaloupe, his stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily.
"Wash, wash... have a taste..." Hu Zifu twisted his mouth and said a sentence with great difficulty.
"Okay! It'll be ready soon." Li Qingyun put the cantaloupe on the table and the big watermelon under the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash the melons. How could Hu Dahai keep Li Qingyun busy? He took the three cantaloupes and went to the bathroom to wash things.
The senior cadre ward has a good environment and is very bright. Between the patient bed and the accompanying bed, there is a small living room with a sofa and a desk. At the door, there is a separate bathroom. Hu Dahai came out of the bathroom quickly, holding a cantaloupe.
He shouted excitedly: "Qingyun, I've been to your house a few times, but why haven't I seen this kind of cantaloupe? When I was washing it, I was so anxious that my mouth watered."
Li Qingyun smiled and said that he was busy cooking game at the time and didn't think of it. In fact, the cantaloupe was grown in his space. It was several grades higher than the ones grown in the terraced fields. If he was not visiting patients, Li Qingyun usually did not expose it to the public.
, only for his family to eat.
Not only Hu Dahai, the sick old man suddenly straightened up and reached out for the cantaloupe: "Smelly, stinky boy, hurry up... hurry up... you want to starve your father to death..."
Hu Dahai was happy and joked: "The ward is full of high-end fruits and I haven't seen you take another look. Who knew you were so good at this? If my mother knew, she would be very happy. She is still making soup for you at home.
.”
The bearded rich man ignored his son's joke at all, grabbed the cantaloupe with trembling hands, and bit it directly without thinking about cutting it into pieces with a knife. He only took one bite, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance. The bearded rich man's eyes lit up, and he muttered "It's delicious,"
He stopped talking and concentrated on eating, even the pulp inside.
Eating too much melon pulp will cause diarrhea, but many people like to eat this pulp the most, and it is also the most delicious part of the entire cantaloupe.
Hu Dahai was the first to finish eating. He patted his belly and stared at the remaining cantaloupe on the table with greedy eyes. He said with lingering interest: "It's so delicious. Forget it, bear with me and keep it for the old man."
Li Qingyun slowly tasted the fruits produced in his own space. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The peaches and grapes at home are almost ripe. I will bring you some fruits when I come next time. I didn't bring much today. I'll wait until I buy a pickup truck.
, I’ll bring you a carriage.”
Hu Dahai laughed and said: "Haha, you're welcome. Look at my dad, he eats like a child, and the saliva and pulp are all on his clothes."
As soon as he said this, he heard someone knocking at the door. Hu Dahai ran out to take a look, and immediately shouted enthusiastically: "It's Secretary Zhu, why are you here free?"
As Hu Dahai spoke, he invited people in very excitedly and shouted to his father: "Dad, Secretary Zhu of the municipal party committee is here."
Li Qingyun followed the voice and was immediately happy. It turned out to be the man he saw when he entered the hospital today. He didn't expect that this man had quite an identity. He was some kind of secretary of the municipal party committee.
As soon as Huzi Fu saw this man coming in, he immediately became energetic. He wiped his mouth and wanted to get off the hospital bed: "Secretary Zhu, why are you here? I'm out of shape and haven't visited Secretary Huang yet. Why?"
Are you kind enough to let you come first?"
I don't know why, because Hu Hufu was so anxious, he actually spoke much more fluently. Although the pronunciation was still a little unclear, the words were continuous and no longer intermittent.
The secretary was out on business, usually on behalf of the leader. Hu Fu thought that Secretary Zhu came to visit him on behalf of the leader, which made him feel flattered, so he was very excited and prepared to get out of bed to greet him.
Secretary Zhu hurriedly persuaded the bearded man to stop him from moving around, and explained: "Mr. Hu, you are not in good health, so don't move around. Secretary Huang knows your situation and will come over to talk to you when the leader is better."
.I came here today to consult this little brother on a personal matter."
With that said, Secretary Zhu pointed in the direction of Li Qingyun.
Hu Hufu was stunned, and Hu Dahai was also confused. He didn't know that Secretary Zhu actually knew Li Qingyun and asked him about "private matters".
In fact, Li Qingyun figured it out. Apart from fruits and melons, Secretary Zhu could not have anything else to do with him. It must be that the boss had something delicious to eat and wanted to buy some.
"Hello Secretary Zhu, I'm Li Qingyun. I didn't expect you and my friend to know each other. If I had known, I would have given you a few more cantaloupes." Li Qingyun stood up and said to him with a smile.
"Haha, this is fate." Secretary Zhu smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Actually, you can guess the reason why I came to find you. Our leader ate your cantaloupe. He appreciated it very much and his appetite was much better. Our leader
Madam happened to be there and decided to buy more. Do you think it would be convenient for delivery? If not, I can go and pick it up myself."
"Uh... I came to the city to do business today, and it's not convenient for me to go home for the time being. If your leader is in a hurry to eat, you can go to Lijiazhai, Qinglong Town. My parents are at home, just look for them..." Before Li Qingyun finished speaking,
He was anxiously interrupted by Hu Dahai.
"My good brother, this is Secretary Zhu. I am buying things for Secretary Huang. What can you do that is more important than this? Hurry up, hurry up, go home and help Secretary Zhu pull a car." Hu Dahai couldn't wait to see him.
I pinched Li Qingyun a few times, what a great opportunity it was to get to know the big leaders in the city. I couldn't even ask for such a great opportunity, but this guy actually pushed back and said it was inconvenient.
