"After Tingting's father left, I took her with her and went to work at the same time. I stayed like this for two years. Who knew she would have this rare disease? Our place is small and the doctors don't have enough experience. They didn't check it out at the beginning.
After I came out, I spent a lot of money one after another."
Wang Yi went to get two more glasses of juice and brought them over. One was placed in front of the boss, and the other was given to Pan Shuyun.
"Thank you, brother!" Pan Shuyun said thank you and continued: "Tingting's illness kept coming back and forth. I realized that it was useless to continue treatment at our place, so I took her to Beijing Children's Hospital.
It’s been two months since she lined up to find a specialist and found out what’s wrong with her. However, the specialist also said that her disease will not be cured easily and the treatment will take a long time and cost a lot of money..."
"I also borrowed some money from relatives at home, but it was a drop in the bucket and not enough at all."
Having said this, Pan Shuyun's mood calmed down instead of being agitated at first. She seemed to have let go of the heavy burden in her heart after she finished talking.
"Mom, I'm dead, let's go home." Yin Rongting held her mother's arms with both hands and murmured in a low voice.
There is a saying that goes, children from poor families become masters early.
Yin Rongting saw so many things happening at home and suffered a lot with her mother. Because of this, she is more sensible than many children of the same age.
Hearing what her daughter said, Pan Shuyun showed an unprecedented smile on her face. She put an arm around her daughter's shoulders, as if talking to herself: "Tingting, mom is sorry for you, it's my mother who didn't
I'm going to make you suffer."
"Mom, if I stay with my mother, I won't suffer." Yin Rongting knew everything in her heart.
Xia Zekai looked at the little girl opposite him, who was about the same age as his daughter, and it was hard to imagine how she had come here all these years.
While Pan Shuyun was talking, Xia Zekai had been listening quietly, and Wang Yi and the four of them next to him were also listening quietly.
If nothing else, Pan Shuyun and her husband are firefighters. Broadly speaking, they are comrades who have never met each other.
One protects the home and country, the other ensures the safety of people's livelihood and property.
They retired from the army and now work with their bosses. They have a job that pays well in all aspects, and their lives at home have been greatly improved.
But the mother and daughter opposite her husband died saving lives in the fire. The little girl contracted a rare disease and spent all their savings. Their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
I can't even bear to have a decent meal.
"Auntie, little sister, please eat something while it's hot." Tongtong saw that Aunt Pan Shuyun only talked but didn't eat, and even little sister Yin Rongting didn't eat either. She persuaded her thoughtfully.
.
Seeing Tongtong's adult-like appearance, Pan Shuyun felt very grateful to her: "Hey, Tongtong, thank you."
"Auntie, you are too polite, is this even a big deal?" Tongtong looked like it was not a big deal at all, which made Xia Zekai amused.
The girl also followed suit at this time, urging Aunt Pan Shuyun and little sister Yin Rongting to eat more. She also pushed an untouched cake she brought over to Yin Rongting: "Sister Tingting, try it, it's sweet.
!”
At this moment, she felt like a sister.
There was no way she could help it. Many times, she couldn't find the sense of being a sister to her twin sister Tongtong.
Pan Shuyun was also very hungry. After she finished talking, she ate something by herself.
Xia Zekai let them eat here. He went to bring some fresh cooked food, fruits, and cakes and said, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"Thank you, brother, you are all good people." Pan Shuyun expressed her gratitude again.
From the details of Pan Shuyun's behavior, it can be seen that she is a knowledgeable and reasonable person, and she also educates her daughter Yin Rongting to be well behaved.
Xia Zekai thought thoughtfully. The mother and daughter were very qualified, which at least showed that their family's previous life was indeed very good.
He asked Pan Shuyun: "Then what are you going to do next? Are you just going back like this? Tingting's illness can't be cured either?"
Hearing Xia Zekai's question, Pan Shuyun paused for a moment, and then said: "Brother, you said there is no reason why a mother would not want to treat her child. But treatment does not take a day or two, and the cost of treatment is also very high. We are here
We still have to rent a house here. I thought that since I have found out what the disease is and the cause, I will get some medicine and go home to take it. Then I will go back and think of ways to earn some money and save it. When it is almost done, I
Then bring Tingting over for treatment."
She didn't give up.
Think about it, a child is a piece of flesh that has fallen off one's own body. How many cruel parents can let it go?
"Where do you live from? Do you have a job at home?" Xia Zekai asked again.
Pan Shuyun shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm from Northern Hebei..."
She had no doubts about Xia Zekai and directly told her the address of her home, down to the street and community. If Xia Zekai hadn't stopped in time, she might have even told her the number of the building and the unit.
In order to treat her daughter's illness, Pan Shuyun has been traveling here and there in the past few years, often doing odd jobs. How can she have any fixed job?
Occasionally I do some part-time work online to supplement my family income.
After hearing what she said, Xia Zekai was silent for a while, and then said: "Sister, to put it bluntly, I think Tingting's illness cannot delay treatment. If it takes a few years, the disease may become worse by then.
It’s serious.”
Pan Shuyun knew very well that this possibility was very high, but due to her limited financial conditions and lack of money, she tried her best not to think about it, but she didn't expect that Xia Zekai still opened this hole.
When the little girl Yin Rongting heard what Uncle Xia Zekai said, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed her mother's hand.
Pan Shuyun knew that what Xia Zekai said was the truth. She did not blame Xia Zekai for exposing his scar. She wanted to smile at her daughter, but she couldn't.
"Tingting, don't be afraid, it's okay." Pan Shuyun touched her daughter's head and patted her shoulder to signal her to relax.
Then he looked at Xia Zekai and said: "Brother, if there is even a chance, I will not go back like this, but if I don't go back, I won't even be able to pay the rent, and we won't even have a place to live.
I don’t care, I’ll be fine even if I live in the bridge, but Tingting can’t do that, she’s still too young.”
This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.
Tongtong listened for a while, and after her aunt finished speaking, she turned to her father and said, "Dad, aren't you a man of great powers? Please help aunt and sister Tingting."
Tongtong's kindness is not mixed with any other impurities. Pan Shuyun also understands this, but she just met her for the first time today, and Tongtong and her family also helped her. She could not embarrass Tongtong's family, so she quickly
He said: "It's really okay. I'll go home and save money for a year. I'll bring Tingting over this time next year to have a look. It shouldn't delay things."
"Dad." Even the girl pulled Xia Zekai's arm.
Xia Zekai glanced at the two sisters and thought that you two sisters are not bad-hearted.
But Xia Zekai would not help someone for no reason. He let Pan Shuyun and her daughter eat first. When he saw that Yatou, Tongtong and three nephews and nieces had stopped eating, how could this be done?
He said: "You guys eat first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after you're full."
"Uncle Kai, you are good!" Xia Jingrui smiled and extended his thumb to him, praising him.
Xia Zekai also laughed, but still said to him: "You know nothing, hurry up and eat, or I will drive you back to Qicheng."
"I'm not going back, I still want to play with Uncle Kai!" Xia Jingrui quickly expressed his stance.
Compared with at home, he still feels that following Uncle Kai is more fun and easier.
Xia Yuxi, the oldest niece among the children, also acted like a big sister at this time. She kept picking up vegetables, fruits and cakes for Yin Rongting.
Yin Rongting kept saying: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious."
"Oh, what a poor child!" Xia Zekai couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Yin Rongting who was eating very happily.
After waiting for everyone to finish their meals, a few people ate fruits again. Tongtong was still thinking about ice cream!
"Dad, didn't you say you would bring us ice cream after we have eaten?" Tongtong asked loudly.
Xia Zekai had nothing to do with her, so he asked Wang Yi to take the ticket to get Haagen-Dazs.
After getting it back, the little ones each held a portion of Haagen-Dazs and ate very happily. Yin Rongting took the Haagen-Dazs and took a bite, then handed it to her mother Pan Shuyun: "Mom, you can try it too.
, what a delicious ice cream!”
"Tingting, mom has it here and I'll keep it for you. Eat it quickly." Pan Shuyun pointed at the portion of Haagen-Dazs in front of her and said.
Seeing the smile gradually growing on her daughter's face, she felt even more grateful to Xia Zekai and Tongtong.
At this time, Xia Zekai has been silently observing. He has dealt with countless people over the years. After seeing a lot of intrigues in the business world, he can tell whether a person is real enough from his eyes.
Pan Shuyun's guilt and love for her daughter Yin Rongting cannot be deceived. At least to a certain extent, it shows that her nature is not bad.
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai looked at Pan Shuyun and said, "Let me give you a suggestion."
"Brother Xia, tell me!" Pan Shuyun listened carefully.
Xia Zekai said: "Didn't you just say that Tingting's disease requires long-term treatment? I think you can find a job in the capital and make money while working and treating her. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Pan Shuyun has also thought about this, but the problem is that there is no such thing as coincidence in this world.
Once you live permanently in Beijing, you need to consider several issues.
The problem of her daughter Tingting going to school.
Is the job you are looking for suitable?
When Tingting undergoes treatment in the future, she will definitely need to take leave. She also has to consider how to solve the problem of having her daughter go to school here in the morning and pick her up in the evening. How to solve the problem of eating in the middle?
Not to mention whether such a job is easy to find, if she finds a job, will the salary be able to cover the rent, the daily food and clothing expenses of the two of them, and the money for Tingting's schooling and medical treatment?
In addition, they are not locals in the capital, and they do not have household registration here. It is extremely difficult for Tingting to go to school here.
She is just an ordinary woman. There is no strong relationship here in the capital. She doesn’t even have any relatives. She is blinded by many things. What should she do?
Unable to solve these objective problems, Pan Shuyun did not dare to consider finding a job here or accompanying her daughter to see a doctor.
"Living in the capital is not easy" is not something I say casually.
Xia Zekai seemed to see through the problems that troubled Pan Shuyun at a glance. He said with a smile: "This is a coincidence. I have some connections here. I can help you introduce a job, and I can also help you with Tingting's schooling.
The problem……"
"As for the issue of living, there are unified dormitories there. If you need it, you can apply. If you want to rent a house by yourself, there is also a rental subsidy."
Listening to Xia Zekai confiding this information sentence by sentence, Pan Shuyun's heart was pounding. She felt that she might have met the most noble person in her life.
But she also had doubts in her heart.
After experiencing her husband's death and her daughter contracting a rare disease, Pan Shuyun understood in her heart that pie will never fall in the sky, and God will not treat you differently just because you are pitiful.
On the contrary, it may even give you the illusion that life becomes a mess the more difficult it is.
Thinking of this, Pan Shuyun did not lose her mind because of this sudden 'good job'. She tried to calm down and asked: "Brother Xia, we are strangers. Can I ask, why are you helping me like this?
"
After he finished speaking, he was not afraid of Xia Zekai being angry and looked at him with a calm expression.
Xia Zekai smiled. He understood that doubt was an emotion that anyone with normal thinking and judgment would have.
It's like walking on the street, and suddenly someone from the opposite side comes over and says, "I'll give you 100 yuan."
Is your first reaction that this person is stupid?
Or does he have any purpose? What does he want me to do?
It's the same thing.
The next moment, Pan Shuyun heard Xia Zekai say: "Actually, the situation is not as complicated as you think. Whether you believe it or not, I am helping you purely because your husband used to be a firefighter. He is here to save other people."
I just hope that I can do my best now that I have the ability."
"Of course, the position you can apply for and the salary you can get in the end still depend on your own work ability."
"Okay, I agreed, Brother Xia, thank you!" Pan Shuyun finally chose to believe that she agreed in order for her daughter to get better.
Xia Zekai called Guo Ying, explained the situation, and asked her to arrange for someone to interview Pan Shuyun to see which position at the 'Jingtong Baby' offline direct store in Beijing was more suitable.
…
On the way back to the Honolulu villa area from the Four Seasons Buffet Restaurant, Tongtong suddenly asked him: "Dad, did I cause you any trouble today?"
"Why do you say that?" Xia Zekai looked at Tongtong with interest and curiosity.
Then I heard Tongtong say: "I don't know what to say, I just feel like I'm causing trouble for you."
"Good boy, it's okay." Xia Zekai smiled very happily. She touched Tongtong's little head and said, "Dad is very happy if you can think of this."
Hearing what his father said, Tongtong became happy again: "Really, I thought I did something wrong!"
"That's right, come on!" Xia Zekai clenched his fists and encouraged her
