Chapter 868 The glory of a soldier (5200 words, what a loving chapter ^_^)
"Dad, buy me a toy!" the girl said, pointing to the stuffed dinosaur in the shop in front.
It was a large Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it was a head taller than her. The girl liked it very much.
Xia Zekai directly called the five of them over and said, "You each pick one thing."
The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law refused: "This is not acceptable."
"Sister-in-law, it's okay." Luo Xiyun said.
Children can't pull out their legs when they see a toy. Even the oldest niece among the five of them, Xia Yuxi, fell in love with a doll set when she saw it, but the price made her a little hesitant.
Xia Zekai watched the words and understood immediately. He went directly to take the doll set and handed it to his eldest niece: "Yuxi, take it. I haven't given you any gifts in normal times. This time, Uncle Kai will make up for you." Up."
After saying this, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law accepted it.
In the end, the girl still hugged the large Tyrannosaurus rex doll she liked and refused to let go.
Tongtong and Amy also each chose a remote-controlled racing car with a different appearance.
To Xia Jingrui's surprise, he didn't choose a toy. He insisted on choosing a football that was rarely seen in toy stores.
"Uncle Kai, I want this." Xia Jingrui said.
Xia Zekai nodded, it doesn't matter what you choose, as long as you like it.
They continued to shop inside, and when they saw all kinds of clothes of different styles, even the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were also busy.
The eldest brother and the second brother have also made a lot of money now, and the two sisters-in-law are now open to buying things. As for Luo Xiyun, she is more generous.
After buying some clothes for the children and some for himself, Luo Xiyun also gestured back and forth on Xia Zekai with a men's jacket, hating that he had few changes of clothes and only had a few pieces going back and forth.
Xia Zekai thought, I don't have enough clothes to change, why don't you find your reason?
…
On the highway, Wang Yi drove steadily. It was more than 700 kilometers from Beijing to Qingyang, Jidong. According to the speed of the car, he would have to make it past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Being alone is boring, listening to music relieves mental fatigue.
Unconsciously, he was halfway through the drive, so he went to the service area to put some water, fill up the gas, bought some bread and ham, stuffed a few bites in and continued on his way.
"I don't know how happy Brother Wu would be if he saw me." Wang Yi thought in his heart.
Wu Jialei was three years older than him and joined the army two years earlier than him. When he was in the army, Wu Jialei took care of him. Unfortunately, after he retired, the contact between them became less.
Occasionally they would make phone calls, and they would always tell each other good things but not bad things. So much so that before he called Wu Jialei some time ago, he had no idea that such a big unexpected change had occurred in Wu Jialei's family.
Wu Jialei's mother was hit by a tricycle. It had been more than half a month since the accident. The doctor did not recommend surgery and asked them to adopt a conservative treatment plan and recover slowly.
In addition, his mother was old and was hit hard. It was difficult for his mother to move by herself, and it was a bit difficult to get out of bed and walk. As a result, Wu Jialei and his father were taken care of in the hospital and could not go out. Make money.
It was okay for a short time, but after a long time, the old lady began to complain about herself, feeling that her life was just a burden to the family.
Not only did she spend money every day, it also hindered the family from going out to make money. There were expenses but no income, and she didn't know how long this situation would last. The more she thought about it, the more she got into a dead end and couldn't get out. She didn't want to He survived, refused to cooperate with the treatment, and even came up with a hunger strike.
The doctor came to persuade her, and occasionally she would be more obedient, but the words of Wu Jialei and his father were in vain. Neither father nor son were good talkers. After repeated visits, the father and son gave up the idea of discharging her from the hospital and returning home to rest.
idea.
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!" Wang Yi thought about these things and sighed inwardly.
When I stepped on the accelerator, I unconsciously pressed a little harder.
When the sun was no longer shining so hard, he was ready to get off the highway.
At the exit of the expressway ahead, the word 'Qingyang' reminded him where he was.
After getting out of the car, Wang Yi thought about what Wu Jialei said about Qingyang People's Hospital. He called up the navigation and took a look, and went directly there according to the route given by the navigation.
By the time he arrived here, it was already past six in the afternoon and the sun was almost setting.
Qingyang is a small county town, and it is relatively poor and backward. This can be seen from the clothes of the people passing by on the street and the many old brick and tile front houses on both sides of the street.
In fact, there are still many places like this in these days. It is not surprising that the comprehensive large-scale infrastructure construction has only just begun a few years ago, and there are still many places that have not been popularized.
I drove into the County People's Hospital and followed the road signs to the parking lot at the back. It didn't take long before I found the place.
At this time, there were not many cars in the parking lot. He easily found an empty parking space.
Not knowing which ward Wu Jialei's mother lived in, Wang Yi still called Wu Jialei.
After Wu Jialei answered the phone, Wang Yi asked him: "Brother Wu, which ward are you in?"
"I'm..." Wu Jialei was stunned for a moment before he finished speaking, and asked: "Brother Wang, are you here?"
He reacted quite quickly, and Wang Yi didn't do any riddles. He said with a smile: "After the boss heard about your situation, he asked me to come over to see you and brought some gifts."
For a moment, Wu Jialei was silent. He never expected that he would be cared for by a stranger thousands of miles away.
The opportunities in life are so wonderful.
Wu Jialei asked him: "Brother Wang, where are you? I'll go find you."
"I'll be in the parking lot behind the hospital building. You can see me when you come over," Wang Yi said.
After hanging up the phone, he stuffed 50,000 yuan into his bag, got out of the car with the bag and car keys, and then went to the back to pick up the milk and fruit he bought.
It felt very cool when the air conditioner was on in the car, but as soon as he got out of the car, he felt the air outside was stuffy and felt uncomfortable all over.
Not long after, a young man wearing blue short-sleeves and camouflage trousers ran over from the back door of the hospital building. He had a slim figure and a well-proportioned figure. When he strode over, you could still see the expression on his face.
Sad, but when he saw Wang Yi again, there was only a smile on his face.
"Brother Wang, why did you go all the way?" After Wu Jialei saw him, he opened his arms and hugged him.
"Brother Wang, thank you and Brother Cui for lending me the money. If it weren't for you, I would really be worried." Wu Jialei said.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Brother Wu, stop saying such pretentious words and take me to see my aunt quickly."
"Let's go!" Wu Jialei led the way. When he saw Wang Yi carrying fruits and milk, he was unhappy: "Why are you buying so many things?"
"The milk is for my aunt to drink, and the fruit is for you and my uncle to eat. In a hellish place like the hospital, no matter whether you are in the hospital or a bedside patient, it's okay if you can't keep up with nutrition. If you leave yourself in there again, what a waste."
Not cost-effective." Wang Yi muttered.
Wu Jialei laughed and said, "That makes sense."
The two were talking and laughing, but when they arrived at the door of the ward, the smile on Wu Jialei's face gradually faded. He said, "My mother can't think straight now. Her mind is going down a blind alley. She doesn't talk much. Please be more patient."
.”
"Brother Wu, what's this? Come in quickly." Wang Yi urged him.
Entering the ward, it was a triple room with people living on the three beds inside.
There is also a bed companion for each bed, but Wu Jialei's mother is in a special situation, so the hospital allows them to stay in bed together.
This was the time to eat. As soon as Wang Yi came in, he smelled the smell of different kinds of food. There was also a person eating garlic. The person eating it didn't feel anything, but it still felt very fragrant, which made the person smell it.
I think it tastes very strong.
"Dad, Mom, this is my comrade Wang Yi. He came to see you." Wu Jialei said loudly.
This sound also attracted the attention of the patients and attendants on the two beds next to them.
After hearing this, Wu Jialei's father quickly stood up and walked towards Wang Yi: "Xiao Wang, oh, why are you even here? I'm so embarrassed."
"Uncle, you're welcome. Brother Wu took good care of me in the army, so it's only right that I come to see my aunt." Wang Yi said with a smile.
Wu Jialei's father, named Wu Qiang, shook his head: "It's the money you lent to our family. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do next!"
"Hurry up and sit down!" Wu Qiang thought it was already past six o'clock and he had to let people eat something.
But now in the hospital, the two of them are eating steamed buns stuffed with pickled shredded vegetables, so they can't let the children who come from afar eat this.
Grain notes
Wang Yi also saw two half-eaten steamed buns on the bedside table next to the hospital bed, with sauce-colored shredded pickles still exposed in the middle of the buns.
He knew clearly in his heart that half of them should be Brother Wu's, and the other should be Brother Wu's and his father hadn't had time to finish them!
I felt sad for no reason, why is it so difficult for ordinary people to encounter something?
"Xiao Wang, are you here on a special trip or on business?" Wu Qiang didn't know how to speak, so he asked straightforwardly.
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Uncle, I came here to see my aunt. Then our boss knew about Brother Wu's current situation, so he also asked me to come over and bring some gifts."
Wu Qiang took a look and saw that there was nothing else except fruit and milk. He wondered what gifts Xiao Wang's boss had brought.
Maybe it was someone's polite words, but he didn't take it to heart and said, "I have to make you travel all the way. I feel really bad."
"Uncle, don't think about anything, everything will get over sooner or later," Wang Yi said.
The old lady lying on the hospital bed had her silver hair neatly combed. It was obvious that Wu Jialei and his father had taken good care of her.
When she saw Wang Yi, she nodded hard and said hello. She was not unkind, but she didn't say anything.
Wu Jialei heard Wang Yi mention his boss again and again. He asked: "Brother Wang, what you called me some time ago and told me about it, look at my current situation, I won't be able to leave for a while."
.”
When Wu Qiang heard what his son said, he asked him: "Jia Lei, what's going on? If you have something to do, go and do it. I'll just take care of your mother here first."
Wu Jialei waved his hand: "Dad, it's not a big deal."
Wang Yi saw that Wu Jialei hadn't told his parents yet. He was moved in his heart and said: "Uncle, that's what happened. Our boss is recruiting people. The boss heard me mention Brother Wu and knew that Brother Wu used to be a
He was a veteran of the military and had excellent qualities. He admired Brother Wu’s talents so much that he offered a high price to get Brother Wu to come and help.”
"How high is it?" Wu Qiang asked.
Even the old lady on the hospital bed turned her head and looked over after hearing this.
After his son retired from the army, he joined the local traffic police force, but the salary was too low, and he didn't bother to work on the fence, so the income he received was very little.
So much so that he couldn't afford to pay for his mother's hospitalization. When Wang Yi finally called him, he learned that Wang Yi's income was quite high, so he asked him to borrow some money.
Before Wu Jialei could say anything, Wang Yi said: "Auntie, the boss gives me a salary of 15,000 and five insurances. Our company is a big company in Qicheng and the leader in the food industry in Qicheng."
Such an introduction added to the persuasiveness and made the people in this small ward speechless.
No one expected that this young man who just entered the business would have such a high monthly income.
Fifteen thousand a month is no joke at this juncture when the average monthly income is about fifteen thousand.
The middle-aged man on the middle bed asked anxiously: "Brother, who are you recruiting there, what kind of position do you have, and why is the salary so high?"
Wang Yi smiled: "Brother, the positions are different, and the salaries are also different. There are many positions with four, five, five, and six thousand, and bonuses and year-end bonuses are also given. On average, it is quite a lot every month.
.”
"Dear me, big cities are different. Our small place is really incomparable." The middleman sighed.
When Wu Qiang heard the number mentioned by Wang Yi, he was also confused. He then said to his son: "Jia Lei, with such a high salary, why don't you go? This is not just right."
After saying that, he complained to his wife: "Old lady, you heard it, people spent so much money to send your son to work, do you still think it's a big deal that you are hospitalized?"
This is a bit far-fetched.
But the old lady lying on the hospital bed really took it to heart.
If my son could earn 15,000 yuan a month, it would be a huge difference compared to the 2,000 yuan he earned before!
Wang Yi added another force. He took out a black plastic bag from his bag at the right time and said: "Brother Wu, the boss really wants you to come over. After he heard about your current situation, he knew that you
If you need money, I will advance you three months' salary in advance, totaling 45,000. Here is a total of 50,000, and the remaining 5,000 is the boss's wish."
Hearing this number and looking at the thick stack of money in his hand, everyone in the room was in a mess.
Including Wu Jialei, Wu Qiang and the old lady lying on the hospital bed, they were also a little distracted.
The patients in the other two beds and their bed companions also forgot to eat. None of them knew what to say.
How could there be such a generous boss? He paid him three months’ salary before even meeting him, and even used 5,000 yuan to express his love!
"Oh my god, little brother, your boss is so generous. What's the name of your place? I'll wait for my wife to be discharged from the hospital in a while, so I'll go and have a look at your place." The hospital bed at the end is against the wall.
The middle-aged people are even more anxious.
It's not easy to come across such a good company.
Wang Yi didn't expect such an effect. He said: "It's called Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. You can check it online."
"What does your company do?"
"We make soluble beans, food for children, children's toilets, Pocky biscuits, and dried fruits. We sell a lot of things."
When he said this, the female patient in the middle bed remembered something and said quickly: "Do you have a Jingtong Baby Store? We have one in Qingyang. I went in and saw that the things there are not cheap.
"
"Yes, that belongs to our boss. The things are not cheap, but the materials used are genuine. You get what you pay for." Wang Yi said with a smile.
Wu Jialei looked at the 50,000 yuan handed over by Wang Yi, and then listened to the conversation between Wang Yi and other people in the room. Thinking about the 'righteous deed' of this boss who had never met before, he suddenly felt at ease.
It’s okay if you don’t want to work in the traffic police force.
The circles under my eyes are also a little red. Only when people are really in trouble can they feel the powerlessness of not being able to get the money. There are tears in the tiger's eyes!
Wu Qiang pointed at Wang Yi with a trembling hand and asked: "Xiao Wang, are you fooling me? Your boss really gave me so much money."
"You shouldn't have paid for this yourself, right? Our family's money is enough for medical treatment now."
When he said this, others subconsciously chose to believe what he said. They felt that the boss had always been Zhou Papi. How could he be so generous? They had never heard of it.
Even Wu Jialei thought so, but Wang Yi still smiled without any "embarrassment after being exposed". He said: "Uncle, to be honest, even if I lie to anyone, I can't lie to my brother Wu."
"I guarantee my honor as a soldier. I didn't lie to anyone. This money was indeed given by my boss. If you don't believe it, just ask me, Brother Wu, to work for a month and you will understand."
"We will pay wages at the end of the month, and no later than the 2nd of next month," Wang Yi said.
This time, the old lady lying on the hospital bed was anxious. She struggled to sit up, grabbed the railings of the hospital bed with her hands, and uttered the first words Wang Yi heard after coming in.
"Go! Go! Go!"
It seems like I haven't spoken for some days. When I speak, my mouth is a little clumsy and I can't say anything else in my excitement.
At that moment, Wu Jialei's mood was very agitated.
When Wu Qiang saw Wang Yi using his "honor as a soldier" as a guarantee, he couldn't say anything else in his heart. His eyes fell on his son, and his meaning was the same as that of his wife on the hospital bed.
We can't delay our son.
Moreover, if the son can earn 15,000 yuan a month, it will be an earth-shaking change for the family, and the burden will naturally disappear.
…
"Dad, I'm so tired, please hold me." After shopping for a day, Tongtong didn't want to walk anymore.
She opened her little hands and asked her father to hold her, not even the remote control racing car in her arms.
After the girl heard this, she didn't want to leave. She simply sat down on the next step and said, "I won't leave. I'm starving. I want to rest!"
There is a snack street in front. Xia Zekai suggested: "Daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go find a place in front to have some food."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtong became anxious: "I want to eat!"
Niece Xia Yuxi, Amy, and nephew Xia Jingrui also want to eat. After playing this day, even adults can't hold it anymore.
"Walk!"
A large group of people walked towards the snack street.
