2776 It's not easy at all (sect leader needs to spend money to read good books and update)
“I thought the shop was doing well and that the business was good. I didn’t expect so many things to happen.” Su Yun said,”it’s really hard to do anything. Nothing is easy.”
“Yes, the stall is closed after midnight. I can’t sleep yet. I have to grab the goods in the morning.” The owner of the barbeque shop complained,”we have to go to the wholesale market at two or three in the morning to grab today’s meat. We have to be alert. We can’t buy anything with water, and we have to pick the ones without beans.”
“There’s still pork with beans now?” Zheng Ren asked in surprise.
“Basically no, but I’ve encountered one once. If you don’t pay attention to buying them, your business for the day will be ruined. ” The boss of the barbecue shop said,”you can sleep for a while after you come back. Five or six hours. Get up and serve the old lady, then put on the string. “
“Hire someone,” Su Yun said.
“Labor is so expensive these days, and the cost of hiring a person is skyrocketing. It’s better to eat and earn a little money by yourself. He opened the stall in the afternoon and went on until the middle of the night. I’ve been living like this every day, never thinking about tomorrow. “
Zheng Ren sighed. Yiren was right. The owner of the barbeque restaurant might have not noticed that there was a problem with the fish he bought that day. If he didn’t want to say it, then he didn ‘t. It didn’t make any sense.
As long as he didn’t deliberately sell this fish every day, it would be fine.
Looking at the owner of the barbecue shop, he probably wouldn’t do that.
“What about the old lady’s noodles?” Zheng Ren asked.
“We’ll take care of the morning and find a nanny in the afternoon and evening. Although it wasn’t for the entire day, it was still quite expensive for the second half of the night. You two, please be the judge. We’ve spent so much money in a month, but we still got a foreign object in the old lady’s trachea!”
He was only complaining, but he didn’t have the anger he had before.
After complaining and nagging, he calmed down and was too lazy to torment himself. Although the essence of life was to be tormented, there was an even greater distress shrouding him. He could hear the creaking sound of his shoulders, which made the barbeque shop owner lose all his energy.
“Take it slow, you’ll get through it eventually.” Su Yun did not know what to say.
With his age and experience, coupled with his own powerful attributes, he had not been completely dominated by life, so these things were still very unfamiliar to him.
“The old man’s condition is still alright, but he’s already showing signs of chronic pneumonia.” Zheng Ren didn’t want to talk about these things that would break his spine. He said softly,”after you are discharged, you have to turn around and cough more often.”
The owner of the barbeque shop realized that the two people in front of him were the doctors from 912. He quickly asked,”how many times do you think we should do it a day?”
“Once every two to four hours.” Zheng Ren said,”I’ve checked. He doesn’t have bedsores. You’ve been taking care of him very carefully.”
“Sigh …”
The owner of the barbeque restaurant was not happy at all. Instead, he sighed.
Zheng Ren had seen many similar patients and their family members in Haicheng. A paralyzed patient on the bed was like a huge rock that would crush the entire family into pieces.
Some people chose to let go, while some chose not to. Zheng Ren could understand all of this. He was just a doctor, and all he could do was to remove the foreign object and get the patient out of the ICU as soon as possible.
Zheng Ren sighed and finished his cigarette in silence. He stubbed out the cigarette and patted the barbeque shop owner on the shoulder.”Find a place to sleep. Don’t worry. The 912’s critical condition is still very strong.”
The owner of the barbeque restaurant was a little confused. He sat on the chair like a statue and ignored Zheng Ren’s words.
After nearly 20 seconds, he muttered,”I still have to go buy ingredients …”
Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment. He knew that he had forgotten something. He had just said that he had to buy ingredients at two or threeo’ clock in the morning every day, otherwise the store would not be able to open.
Without cash flow, not only would they not be able to keep the old man, but they would also have to go back to their hometown to farm.
Sometimes, life was very helpless. Even if he was filial in front of the bed, he still had to think about tomorrow’s life.
“Take care.” Zheng Ren sighed.
“I’m fine. ” The owner of the barbecue shop grinned.”After so many years, how could I miss this hurdle?” The price of pork rises once every few years. I’m prepared. It’s just that it’s a little hard now, but it’ll be fine when the price of pork falls. “
Although his smile was forced, Zheng Ren felt that he was right.
“Then we’re going home.”
The owner of the barbeque restaurant nodded and bowed very seriously.”Thank you, both of you.”
Su Yun raised her hand and waved, indicating that she would take her leave.
The wind was a little cold on the way home.
It was already the end of November, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was going to snow in the next few days.
Su Yun tightened her clothes.”Boss, do you think it’s easy for this person to live?”
Zheng Ren smiled but did not say anything. He remembered what he had said to little stone. Su Yun’s family should be quite well-off, and his hardware seemed to be cheating, so it should be difficult for him to empathize with her.
If he didn’t have the big pork trotters, he probably wouldn’t be any better off than the owner of the barbecue shop. As for Zhou Litao, who looked miserable now, he was a target that he couldn’t look up to at that time.
“Let’s go home. ” Zheng Ren said softly,”when are you and Chang Yue getting married?”
“Don’t mention this. I’m afraid of marriage. ” Su Yun said,”you’re as scared as you are of your father-in-law. Tell me something happy. For example, when are you going to Stockholm?”
“Getting an award? Let’s see the changes in little stone’s condition. ” Zheng Ren said softly.
“Don’t make a melodramatic story like you have to take care of little stone and don’t have time to go to Sweden to receive the award. ” Su Yun said.
“That won’t happen. In your words, 912’s intensive care unit is very powerful.” Zheng Ren replied,”even without me, they will take good care of little stone. There’s no way, there’s no way. It doesn’t matter if I’m here or not. “
“What do you think of little stone’s condition?”
“He looks fine on the whole, but his lung tissue has become more serious after he took the medicine this time.” Zheng Ren said,”I hope it doesn’t get worse.”
“I saw the report you brought back saying that it’s a sticky overflow. Do you have any good solutions?”
“Did you have a breakthrough on your side?”
The two of them asked at the same time.
Then, the two of them fell silent. They both knew what the other was doing. The path was different, and it was not easy to find a suitable rugged path. How could it be so easy to succeed?
On the way back to the neighborhood, Zheng Ren contacted Yiren. Knowing that she was still taking Blackie for a walk, he stopped thinking about those heavy and unhappy things.
It was getting late, so it was good to walk around downstairs and have a quiet conversation with Yiren.
Upon entering the neighborhood, Zheng Ren saw Yiren at first glance. She was squatting on the ground and seemed to be talking to hei Zi. His hand gently touched hei Zi’s head. Zheng Ren felt that it was no wonder that he had seen hei Zi’s head a little bald recently. Was it all because of her?
It seemed that Blackie was not having an easy time either.
