Chapter 544 : When We Get Old

The unhurried ringtone made me even more upset. I walked back and forth in front of the restaurant several times before Old Gao answered the phone.

I quickly asked, "Old Gao, where are you?"

Old Gao replied, "I'm at the hospital. Come here!"

Old Gao's tone was a little urgent, and my heart skipped a beat. What was the situation?

Old Gao told me where he was at the hospital, and before he could ask how he was doing, I hung up and took a taxi to the hospital.

Well, if only I hadn't drunk, I would have driven myself.

The traffic lights on the road made me a little upset! I felt a little guilty in my heart. It was my negligence. This morning, I noticed something unusual about Old Gao, but I didn't even tell him to take a break. I only cared about my car, but how could it compare to my brother's?

I feel a little uncomfortable!

This is not what a brother should do. Old Gao is already at the hospital. I don't know yet.

Looking out the window at the bustling world, I couldn't help but sigh again. The three of us, Hu Zi and Old Gao, hadn't had that drink yet.

Thinking about it, I called Hu Zi again and told him that Old Gao was sick and that he had time to see Old Gao. Hu Zi said that he was in the hospital right now, and he said that he would call Old Gao right away.

Hanging up the phone, I was relieved to think that Hu Zi would get to Old Gao immediately.

In my anxiety, I only felt that it took me a long time to get to the hospital, which I knew very well. It was here that I was admitted to the hospital twice. I entered the building with ease. I found Old Gao in a lounge chair on the third floor. He was hanging a bottle, and Hu Zi had already come to him and sat beside him.

I walked quickly to the two of them, looked at Old Gao and asked, "What's going on? What was the hurry?"

"Just now, I wanted you to get me the bottle. Fortunately, Hu Zi came quickly." Old Gao said.

I was relieved. I thought something serious had happened. I looked at Old Gao again and saw that Old Gao was still a little pale. Obviously, he was not in good condition, but it didn't look serious. I sat down beside him and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Why is he suddenly ill?"

"A little fever. I thought it was nothing. I thought it would pass after a little resistance. Who would have thought it would get worse and worse? I threw up everything in my stomach at the restaurant and was a little dehydrated, so I had to come for an infusion." Old Gao said with a bitter smile.

Looking at Old Gao's frail appearance, I thought that Old Gao was probably too busy and tired. I could tell from his face that he was tired. He was really busy these days, let alone going back to the pond at night. No wonder he was sick.

I said, "I see you. You're probably tired. You should take some time to rest these days and get better."

"I'm fine." Old Gao smiled weakly and said, "I'm not that weak."

If it wasn't for the fact that he was sick, I would have hit him. I said, "Why didn't you tell me? You came alone."

Hu Zi also said, "Yes, if I'm late, you can't pee in your pants."

The three of us smiled, and Old Gao said to me, "Didn't you treat the owner of the car to dinner? I'm not serious. Why should I call you? That can't be delayed."

Hu Zi also knew that I wanted to buy a car. He asked, "Did you buy a car?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, the car is here."

"So soon?"

"Yeah, it's for Ji Ze's sake. It's a lot better, or it'll take a few days to bring it up."

Hu Zi nodded and said, "Ji Ze really helped us a lot."

I looked at Hu Zi and then at Old Gao. Indeed, ji ze helped Old Gao and Hu Zi, but we didn't help him. It was a shame to think about it.

Hu Zi added, "In fact, you can buy a more expensive one. My first month's share in the Yu xiangyuan is about to be distributed. You can use it first."

"Well, for me, this car is enough to drive. There's no need to buy such a good one now." I looked at Hu Zi again and asked, "Why are you in the hospital, Hu Zi?"

But after asking, I think he came mostly for Yu Xinghui. Sure enough, Hu Zi replied, "I came to see President yu. You just called me. I was just about to leave."

"You run to the hospital every day?"

Hu Zi nodded and said, "Yes, first of all, come and see President yu. Second, the situation of this restaurant every day should be roughly reported to him, right? If you don't understand anything, just ask."

I asked casually, "How is he?"

"It's the same as before. I've been cooperating with the treatment every day, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Cancer can't be cured in a day or two. Sometimes it takes years to heal."

Hu Zi sighed again, looked at Old Gao and said, "Old Gao, I think you should rest too. Don't be so busy. Nothing is important to your health. Look at President yu. The Yu xiangyuan makes hundreds of thousands a month. You can't enjoy anything without your life. Don't work too hard and ruin your health at a young age."

I looked at Hu Zi and said, "I see you too. Now that I see you basically in a state of perpetual busyness, you should pay more attention, drink less, smoke less. Both of you, why do you smoke so much?"

Hu Zi nodded and said, "But the three of us will have a drink."

I sighed and replied, "Yes, but it's going to be delayed for a few more days."

"It's okay. I can drink it tonight." Old Gao continued.

"You can pull it down. There's still a liquid hanging, so you can just calm down." I said quickly.

Old Gao said, "I'm really fine, and, to be honest, I'm used to it. If I stay at home, I'm really scared."

"Then you have to rest." I'm so sick, I still want to work.

"Can't I just cash in?" Old Gao haggled with me.

I looked at Old Gao for a while and said helplessly, "Why are you so busy?"

Old Gao laughed.

I suddenly thought of something and said, "Old Gao, this is an opportunity. You should take a break these days and talk to that girl."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop." Hu Zi reached out his hands to stop me from continuing and asked, "What girl?"

Hu Zi's eyes were filled with curiosity, but somewhere deep in them, I seemed to see something flash by.

Old Gao motioned me not to say anything. How could I hide it from Hu Zi? He smiled and said to him, "Old Gao likes another girl. She likes her very much."

Old Gao was still a little shy, and I said, "Just in time. You're sick now. Let her come and see you. Let's meet you too."

Hu Zi also coaxed, "Yes, what's your name? Do you have her wechat? Send her a message. Tell her you're sick and let her see you."

Hu Zi then went to take out Old Gao's hand. Old Gao said while hiding, "Don't make a fuss. He's still at work, okay? Besides, I'm fine. What are you looking at?"

Hu Zi continued, "Do you always have photos?"

Old Gao shook his head.

I laughed and said, "Now you know how to be mysterious. I didn't ask anything last time."

Hu Zi looked at Old Gao with disdain. Old Gao was calm and did not speak.

The three of us just chatted for a while, and with the two of us around, Old Gao's spirits improved a lot. It was a very simple and casual chat with them. I felt very comfortable, just like we hadn't sat together for a long time to chat.

And in such a relaxed atmosphere, I can't help but become emotional.

In such an environment as the hospital, looking at some people who looked uncomfortable, looking at those people walking around in hospital clothes, his heart would always be a little heavy, always a little afraid.

It was easy to think of the word' farewell to life' here, so I was especially afraid that something would happen to Old Gao, and the news of his death from fatigue would always come to my mind. I didn't want Old Gao to be too busy because of the restaurant. I would hate myself for the rest of my life.

I couldn't help but think about the three of us getting older. What would that be like?

I asked the two of them, "Old Gao, Hu Zi, what do you think the three of us look like when we get old?"

"Old..." Old Gao thought for a while before saying, "I hope the Xingyun hotel will grow old with us. We can also walk in slowly, order a few dishes and pour a few glasses of wine."

"That's for sure!" Hu Zi said confidently, "In a few decades, the Xingyun hotel will definitely be more popular than it is now. Think about it. Decades of old stores will definitely become a famous hotel in Pucheng. Not to mention Pucheng, it is possible in the whole province. At that time, we don't have to move. We can count the money and cramp every day sitting there. Maybe the legendary life of the three of us will be edited by someone else."

"Damn, the whole world. You're thinking too far." Old Gao laughed.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. In any case, the Xingyun hotel will definitely not be like this in the future. We will also be prosperous!" Hu Zi was very optimistic. He asked us again, "What do you two think?"

Old Gao shook his head and said, "I didn't think that far."

Hu Zi looked at me again. I smiled and thought about it before slowly saying, "I really don't know how far Xingyun hotel will go in the future, but I think as long as the Xingyun hotel can become a brand that everyone can remember, it can continue to stand in Pucheng."

This is indeed my expectation.

But I feel even more satisfied that no matter how far the Xingyun hotel can go, or even if the Xingyun hotel fails in the future and is tragically eliminated from the catering industry, as long as I am still with Hu Zi Old Gao.

In my imagination, our relationship is still the same as now, we can meet often, not apart from each other, we can only get together once a year, no, we can still often eat barbecue and drink beer together, just like when we were young, how pleasant it was!

Ding Ge and I already have children, and Old Gao and Hu Zi Lin Ya will find their loved ones, and our circle will continue to expand. We will sit around the children at a big table, the atmosphere is still very warm, we will all be very happy, we will all have bright smiles on our faces, we will all live a very good life, calm and warm.
