When Lao Tan arrived home, Lin Yan and her son Jia Heng were having dinner and saw him come back to take a look.
"Drinking again?" Lin Yan asked.
"Oh, let's have a drink with Brother Liu." Lao Tan said.
"Drink, no one cares about you, why are you drinking just a few days after the stitches were removed?" Lin Yan was obviously very angry, and said: "I don't know what the taste of that wine is, why don't you drink it? You drink it, drink it
If something goes wrong, no one will care about it, just go to whoever you want to."
This is a typical case of not saying good things well.
"Don't worry, if I don't look for you, I will find a deserted place and fend for myself." Lao Tan also got angry and said angrily.
"Humph!" Lin Yan sneered, ignored Lao Tan and continued eating.
Lao Tan stood there for a while, wanting to get angry, but seeing that his son remained silent, he let out a long breath.
Brother Liu's words while drinking made him feel that he really rarely communicated with Lin Yan, which was why he was in this situation today. When he went upstairs, he thought about having a chat with Lin Yan, not to be so embarrassed all the time, and to calm down.
But Lin Yan's good mood for chatting was gone. Now that he didn't want to say a word, he felt depressed and uncomfortable as if something was blocking his chest. The psychological effect was that he felt a vague pain in the incision.
In fact, the incision has already grown. Alcohol can only accelerate blood circulation and will not tear it.
This is the dull pain hidden in my heart.
To be honest, he was worried that Lin Yan didn't go to Hohhot to see him.
He asked himself, if Lin Yan was stabbed and almost died, he would be taken care of by her no matter what, no matter whether he traveled thousands of miles or thousands of mountains and rivers.
After all, they are husband and wife, not just people on both sides of the world, so why should they just show up?
But Lin Yan didn't go and didn't want to do anything, which made him very angry.
Although the incision has healed, the injury was serious after all, and the body has not fully recovered and is still a little weak.
After returning from Hohhot, Lao Tan fully expected that his wife would inquire after his injuries and recovery status, and care about him enthusiastically, so that his battered heart would gain a little warmth, and they would live a happy married life from then on.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Lin Yan just asked lukewarmly how it was going, and after getting a ok reply, she acted as before, without saying another word, as if nothing happened.
, the nephew is lighting the lantern as he should—as usual.
This hurt him.
"What are you doing standing there? Are you wrong?" Seeing that Lao Tan had not moved for a long time, Lin Yan said something to add fuel to the fire.
"I don't have time to talk to you." Lao Tan said.
"Let's see who is easy to talk to." After Lin Yan said this, she turned away and completely ignored him.
Lao Tan angrily put on the shoes he had just changed into, opened the door and walked out of the house that he had just entered within five minutes.
He left the community and walked aimlessly on the street.
The night wind blew a warm and cool feeling on my body, which made my body that was hot after drinking wine feel comfortable and gradually cooled down.
The shouts from the stalls on both sides of the street have disappeared, and some have begun to pack up and prepare to call it a day and go home. Only the snack sellers are still holding on, waiting diligently for the arrival of people returning home at night.
In front is Tianxia Fresh BBQ, brightly lit and bustling with business. It was opened by Lao Tan's friend. The boss and he worked as chefs together in the early years. The boss's wife used to make noodles at Laogen Villa managed by Lao Tan. Now she has opened a barbecue restaurant.
, and it is also a chain, with six stores already.
Diagonally opposite Tianxia Xian is Chishan Road, where Ah Qiao's Chishan store is located. The two stores are close to each other, and their business is booming.
From the depressing small space at home to the big world outside where he could release his energy, Lao Tan's anger was already half gone. He stood at the door of Tianxiaxian for a while and then walked forward.
He didn't go to the Chishan store, but just looked across the street and saw that it was full of people, which made him feel a little better.
Eight hundred meters ahead was a small park, and he wanted to take a look around there.
When he walked out only ten steps, there was a loud noise behind him, which startled him, and he instinctively turned around and looked back.
The doors and windows of a skewers shop next to Tianxiaxian were scattered on the street. There were flashes of fire inside, and someone was running out crying and screaming------
The gas tank exploded.
This was Lao Tan's first reaction, and then he ran two steps and came closer.
People coming out of it were crying and screaming.
Passers-by who were startled by the loud noise immediately gathered around, looked at it in horror, and said that it exploded. Some people had already picked up their mobile phones and started dialing 110 and 119.
The explosion occurred in the kitchen, and those who ran out were the guests in the hall.
The two men in chef uniforms had dark faces and one arm was covered in blood. They were trembling with fear and asked the other: "Where is Old Qiao? He's still in there------"
"There are still people inside that haven't come out yet------"
"Don't die------"
"The fire is so big------"
"------"
The people watching were talking about everything.
Don't say anything to anyone when this happens. They are all watching the excitement. They want to save people but don't have the courage to save people. I hope the fire is not too big and the people inside can come out quickly. Then wait for the firefighters to extinguish the fire until the fire subsides.
, and then responded with two sighs or two sighs, and then went home angrily.
This is the normal state of human beings.
Lao Tan stood next to the two kitchen people who ran out and asked: "Is there anyone who hasn't come out yet?"
"Old Qiao didn't come out," one said.
"Sister Wang doesn't seem to have come out either-------" one added.
"Big can or small can?" Lao Tan asked again.
"Small jar." They both said at the same time.
Lao Tan looked at the burning kitchen, which was full of black smoke, and there was a faint light from the fire.
When people save people, they only react instantly, they don’t think twice, and they don’t have much fear. If they were afraid, they wouldn’t save people.
Out of instinct and years of experience in kitchen work, Lao Tan rushed into the smoky kitchen without thinking.
A wave of heat hit my face, burning and a bit scorching.
Lao Tan looked around quickly by the light of the stove.
no one?
Look again.
This time he discovered that the person was right behind him when he came in. He had obviously been knocked over by the shock wave of the explosion and had fainted.
Lao Tan went over to pick the person up, and when he picked him up, he found that there was another person underneath him. As he picked up the person above him, a woman's moan came from underneath.
Without thinking too much, he quickly pulled the person above him out of the door.
People outside were sweating for Lao Tan when he rushed into the kitchen, and were worried. Some people even whispered that this might be the boss, who was afraid of burning people to death------
This statement was immediately rejected by others because the boss was a woman.
The most nervous ones were the two kitchen people who had narrowly escaped death. They were staring at the door with their legs shaking. When they saw Lao Tan carrying someone out, they immediately ran over.
Lao Tan entered the kitchen again and took the second person out in just over ten seconds.
It sounds long-winded to say, but in fact, it only took five minutes from the time of the explosion to when Lao Tan rescued the two people, and it didn't even last. After he came out, there was another loud noise from the kitchen, but it was not very damaging. It should have been on the roof of the shed.
collapsed.
Fortunately, both people who were rescued were alive. The man was seriously injured, his back was covered in blood, and the woman was slightly injured, with only a broken arm.
Of course, Lao Tan found out all this later. Within five minutes of him coming out, fire engines and ambulances came screaming. When the firefighters put out the fire with high-pressure hoses and the medical staff rescued the two people, he was already almost
Arrive at the small park.
It's not that you do good deeds anonymously, but it's not necessary.
Lao Tan is now sitting on a long chair in the park, thinking that this chain store is over. The owner is so unlucky that no amount of money he earns is enough to compensate him. If nothing else, that guy named Lao Qiao will have to pay a lot of money for medical expenses.
The cost is nothing less than RMB 180,000. What about the guests who were slightly injured or frightened? And what about the renovation costs?
I looked at opening a restaurant to make money, but nothing happened. Like this, I suddenly went back to before liberation. No lives were lost. If no lives were lost, I would be even more stunned, and it would be ruined.
Safety still comes first.
There will be a meeting tomorrow to emphasize gas safety issues and conduct fire drills to make all employees remember the importance of safety. They must also be able to use fire extinguishers and fire blankets and learn to save themselves as soon as a fire occurs.
"Cough!" Lao Tan coughed.
Because it was night, he didn't notice that there was bright red blood in the dirt he vomited.
During the intense and exciting moment of rescuing people, he inhaled scorching smoke in his lungs, causing some burns to his trachea. Coupled with high blood pressure, his capillaries ruptured - bronchiectasis recurred again.
He sat in the small park for a while, felt better, and forgot about being angry with Lin Yan, so he slowly returned home.
When they got up the next day, Lin Yan and her son had gone to work and to school. He came to the bathroom shirtless, peed and started to brush his teeth. When the toothbrush touched his teeth, he felt a lump in his throat.
Feeling of vomiting due to heat, followed by vomiting out a mouthful of blood.
