The old gentleman thought that Liu Xiaoxing was embarrassed and therefore could not speak, so he came over enthusiastically and took his hand towards the back room. As he walked, he said with a little pride: "Young man, I I know you're embarrassed, but don't look at me, old man. I'm old now, and my hands and feet are no longer flexible, but the food I cook is not as good as those of the chefs in big hotels! I guarantee that you will think about it every day after eating it. You¡¯re here to patronize this shabby place like mine!¡±
"Haha, uncle, you are really joking. How can I be embarrassed? It's just that I've already eaten it!" Liu Xiaoxing originally wanted to say that he had eaten the chili scrambled eggs made by your granddaughter, but suddenly he saw Die Yatou frowned at herself anxiously and then immediately changed her words.
The enthusiastic old man was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "So that's it? I thought you were embarrassed? But why did you eat so early? You will definitely be hungry after staying for a while. Why don't you take a rest first, it just so happens that it takes a long time for me to prepare the food, old man!"
Liu Xiaoxing saw that the other party had already gone so far as to say what he said, and would feel a little guilty if he refused again, so he had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you!"
The hotel owned by Die Yatou was renovated from a residential building. The hotel looks out from the door, but inside is a place for people to live, and it also has a small kitchen. It is estimated that this kitchen was used by her grandfather to cook meals for his family. However, looking at the dust on the kitchen walls, it can be seen that her grandfather has not cooked for a long time.
Fortunately, the living room was quite clean. Liu Xiaoxing sat down on the bamboo chair in the living room and watched TV boredly.
At this time, Girl Die took advantage of the opportunity when her grandfather went to the kitchen to fiddle with things, and quietly came to Liu Xiaoxing's side like a thief, and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you so much! Fortunately, you didn't expose me, otherwiseI would definitely I will be scolded by grandpa to death!"
Liu Xiaoxing looked at Die Yatou's cute look when she breathed a sigh of relief, and pinched her cheek in amusement, "You, you, if you don't want your grandpa to be angry, then don't go out to solicit customers. You are soliciting customers like this." Not only won¡¯t you make much money, but you might also get into some trouble, like those vicious dogs today!¡±
Hearing that Liu Xiaoxing deliberately called the group of people just now "evil dogs", Die Yatou immediately stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "II just want to help grandpa and earn some medical expenses. Grandpa is sick. He¡¯s almost spending all his savings!¡±
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxing felt very sympathetic and rubbed her head, and asked softly: "Do you have no other relatives besides grandpa?"
"I still have an uncle and an uncle, but they usually don't come to see grandpa!" Girl Die hesitated for a while before revealing her family's situation.
"Are your uncle and brother-in-law your grandfather's biological children?" Liu Xiaoxing asked after being slightly stunned.
Die Yatou did not answer immediately, but stretched her neck and looked towards the kitchen. After making sure that her grandfather was busy with today's dinner and did not notice it, she nodded to Liu Xiaoxing and replied in a low voice: "Yes! They are all grandpa¡¯s biological children! But I feel they are strangers than strangers. They will only come to Grandpa Zhao to borrow money when something happens. When nothing happens, even if grandpa calls them, they may not come back. This time I am sick. I went to them to borrow money and I got beaten up!"
"What?!" When Liu Xiaoxing heard this, he immediately became angry, and his tone suddenly became much higher, which shocked the old man working in the kitchen.
"What's the matter?" The old gentleman hurriedly ran out and took a look at Liu Xiaoxing and his granddaughter, and asked curiously.
Liu Xiaoxing immediately calmed down the angry look on his face, smiled and waved his hands, saying: "It's okay, it's okay! I just saw a piece of news and was very angry when I saw the urban management officers violently enforcing the law again!"
The old gentleman was not suspicious when he heard this. He said "Oh!" and returned to the kitchen. Judging from his reaction, he probably was used to the violent law enforcement incidents of urban management.
"It's so dangerous!" Girl Die secretly looked at the activities in the kitchen. After confirming that her grandfather was busy again, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still said to Liu Xiaoxing with lingering fear: "Brother, why were you like that just now? Are you excited?"
Liu Xiaoxing looked at the innocent look on Die Yatou's face and felt angry and helpless at the same time. The anger was towards her uncle and uncle's behavior, but the helplessness and sympathy were because she was not her family and could not fundamentally change this situation. a little.
"Then you didn't tell your grandpa after you were beaten by your uncle and uncle?" Liu Xiaoxing asked sympathetically.
Girl Die shook her head, sighed softly like an old child, and said: "No, I'm afraid I'll tell you."Grandpa, he will be angry and aggravate his condition. The doctor said that grandpa cannot be angry during this period! "
"So that's what happened?" Looking at Die Yatou, who was so young but very sensible and mature, Liu Xiaoxing felt sympathy and affection at the same time and said: "Then how much medical expenses does your grandpa need? Can you see if your grandpa can do it? Help you?"
"Really?!" Die Yatou suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Liu Xiaoxing full of surprise and asked.
"Haha! It's true!" Liu Xiaoxing nodded gently and replied very seriously.
"Great!" After hearing Liu Xiaoxing's very serious answer, Die Yatou rushed over excitedly, hugged Liu Xiaoxing, took a sip on his cheek, and then hurriedly and shyly retreated to the original place, saying : "I overheard the doctor telling my grandfather that his medical expenses seemed to cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, right? Big brother can you pay so much?"
"Seven or eighty thousand? Of course!" Liu Xiaoxing has made up his mind to help this filial and very sensible butterfly girl. Let alone only seven or eighty thousand, even if it costs seven or eight hundred thousand in medical expenses, he will not hesitate. Hesitantly agreed to the other party.
"Is itreally possible?" After hearing Liu Xiaoxing's unhesitating answer, Die Yatou immediately exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, the old man who was carrying a plate of vegetables that he had just prepared asked curiously after hearing his granddaughter's exclamation: "Girl Diedie, what are you going to talk about with the guests? What is really not true?" ah?"
After all, Die Yatou is still a child. No matter how sensible and mature she is, she can no longer remain calm when faced with the huge surprise of settling her grandfather's medical expenses. She excitedly replied: "Grandpa, grandpa! Big brother said he can" I can help you pay for your medical bills!¡±
The old man who had just turned around to get a spoon in the kitchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The spoon immediately slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp and sweet sound.
The old gentleman hurriedly walked up to Liu Xiaoxing and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, my granddaughter usually likes to talk nonsense. Don't take what she just said to you or asked you seriously. Ah! The old man¡¯s medical expenses are not a difficult problem, thank you sir for your kindness!¡±
The old gentleman was using a white lie to reject Liu Xiaoxing's kindness, but how could Liu Xiaoxing change his decision just because of a few words from the other party? "Old sir, I know you don't want to accept my love for no reason." , but you should know your current situation best. How long do you think you can survive if you don¡¯t receive treatment?"
Although Liu Xiaoxing had not formally studied medicine, he could still simply look, hear and ask. He could tell at a glance that this old gentleman was already seriously ill. If he continued to delay, something unexpected might happen. A dying one.
Liu Xiaoxing didn¡¯t want a sensible little girl like Die Yatou to lose such a kind grandfather, so he gave some advice.
After hearing Liu Xiaoxing's advice, the old man hesitated for a few seconds, and then stubbornly shook his head: "Sir, I really appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept your kindness. We just met by chance. There is no need for you to help an old man like me!"
The old man thought that Liu Xiaoxing only helped him because he felt sorry for him, so he was stubborn and didn't want the other party to pity him.
But he had no idea that the reason why Liu Xiaoxing helped him was for the sake of his granddaughter Die Yatou.
