These two words remind me of the sentence "good people don't live long, evil people live for thousands of years".
Lao Zhang is definitely a good man. Although he always gives me problems and always straightens his face to scold me, I don't hate him at all. Lao Zhang is like an old hen. Although he usually cackles, he never hesitates to protect the chicks under his wings when there is trouble. He has been doing such things all his life.
Now Lao Zhang has lung cancer, but I can bang the machine for detecting the weight of boxing provided by the stadium to the players, and I can't help the blower for measuring vital capacity. Of course, this may have something to do with my previous work as a hooligan. Although I'm not a bad person, it's definitely a disaster, so I'm a little worthless for Lao Zhang.
Steamed stuffed bun is still struggling with the little nurse. The little nurse said solemnly, "the patient needs to rest for such a big operation tomorrow, you know?"
At this time, the attending doctor poked his head out of the ward and asked, "who is Xiaoqiang?" Obviously, the noise we made has alerted the people inside.
I hurriedly said, "I am."
The doctor said, "the patient asked to see you, but not for too long."
Sister Zhang followed me in and was stopped by the doctor: "the patient specially ordered to see Xiaoqiang alone. You stay outside."
Steamed stuffed bun pretended to be at ease and wanted to muddle through behind my ass. he was pushed by the doctor who had a good understanding of everything: "and you, get out!"
I said to the steamed stuffed bun, "go and buy Sister Zhang something to drink."
Steamed stuffed bun's eyes turned red and shouted in the ward, "Miss Zhang, I'm Xiaoxiang. Take care."
The doctor waved her away and closed the door from the outside.
I saw headmaster Zhang in bed. I never thought that a person could lose so much in just half a month. Lao Zhang is now like a severely shrunk toy. Give him a drill and a steel nail and he won't shut it anywhere - he'll run away.
The reason why I still have such a joking mind is that Lao Zhang seems to be in a good mood. He leans against me and his hair is as thin as a lazy ridge, but he still looks at me with a smile. He patted the bedside and said, "sit down."
When I sat close to him, Lao Zhang asked in his usual overbearing tone like Lao Tzu to his son, "are you in the top 8?"
I wonder, "do you still have time to watch TV?"
"The doctor doesn't let me see much. Every day he asks his daughter for the results and tells me."
I picked up an apple, lowered my head and said in a low voice, "why don't you tell me?"
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "at first, I was waiting for you to report my funeral at any time. Who knows if you go farther and farther, it's not a good thing to tell you again for fear of your distraction."
"... in fact, we have entered the top four."
Lao Zhang's eyes lit up: "what did secretary Liu say? Can you give us some buildings?"
"He said that if he entered the top three, he would apply to the city for a batch of funds."
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "how are you getting ready for the next game?"
I said humbly: "... Not very good, the opponent is very strong."
Lao Zhang said with a smile, "don't be under pressure. In fact, I was shocked to hear that you were in the top 8 than to know that I had advanced lung cancer."
This time, I was surprised: "you know?"
Lao Zhang still smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of death. Besides, my body is my own. How can others deceive me?"
I handed him the peeled apple and he said, "I can't eat now."
"Didn't you say that earlier?" I put the apple in my mouth and asked him, "what's the matter with me? Steamed stuffed bun wants to see you." I found that the conversation with a terminally ill person was not so heavy.
Lao Zhang suddenly became silent and said for a long time, "in fact, I just want to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" I said in wonder.
"Do you know why I help you?"
"... is steamed stuffed bun your illegitimate daughter?"
Lao Zhang said with a black line in his head, "can you talk to a dying man more seriously?"
I patted my head: "I'm an asshole."
Lao Zhang said with a smile, "I knew you were an asshole."
"That's why you helped me?"
Lao Zhang zhengse said: "But I also know you're a nice bastard - in fact, at first I helped you very easily because you want to build a school. It's better than building a golf course. Later, you said that enrollment is free. I decided to help you. Although I don't know what you want to do, Xiaoyan told me. You're really good to those children."
I said, "Yan Jingsheng?"
Lao Zhang nodded: "he said that although you don't often go to school and recruit a group of idle men as teachers, he can feel your heart is hot, and you really confiscate anyone's tuition."
I said, "they have to be rich, too."
"It's just time to hold the Wulin conference. I think you're also idle. I signed you up with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor."
I sighed: "there was no surprise. I guessed it."
"I know this is an opportunity and I know something inside. The state is going to build a martial arts training base, so my heart moves."
I asked, "what do you want?"
"Xiaoqiang, do you remember what I told you last time? I want to borrow a classroom from you and gather the children near the village to run a study class."
"Remember, what do you borrow? You are our headmaster. When you get out of the teaching building and dormitory building, you can use it at will."
Lao Zhang shook his head: "that's why I want to apologize to you: all I've been thinking about is those children. I just want you to make a brick and a tile cheaper through this competition. I never thought that the competition would be hurt and humiliating. I'm ashamed."
I wiped my sweat and said, "it seems that we really didn't make a good impression on you. In fact, few of our people were injured. Once there was a danger that a guy was almost suffocated by an egg."
Lao Zhang still remorsefully said, "I am a selfish person."
I suppressed the waves in my heart, deliberately joked and said, "that's it. How can we live if everyone is as selfish as you?" I pretended not to care and asked, "didn't I give 100000 yuan to those villages?"
Lao Zhang smiled bitterly: "this money is not an official appropriation. What can we do in the hands of those local emperors? They deliberately gave all the money to the villagers to repair their houses. They almost took the money for activities. They wanted to ask for more disaster relief funds from above. Bastards directly packed their own pockets."
I comforted him and said, "don't worry. I'll lend you all the teaching buildings. It's just the children of one village. I'll cover all the food and accommodation."
Lao Zhang straightened up excitedly and said, "when can you manage without the support of the public? Can you manage the children outside the village?"
I was stunned and said, "Lao Zhang, your heart is big enough!"
Lao Zhang's face darkened again and said slowly, "in fact, even if you are in the top three this time, I am not ill, so I can't solve any problems, but at least I can help a small number of children, they are still young..." I thought he could say something impassioned, but Lao Zhang just said it powerlessly. "And I'm their principal."
I am also depressed. I can't help raising 300. If I want to raise a large group of children, I have to find teachers for them and be responsible for their safety. No matter in terms of energy or economy, I can't do what I want. I gave 1 million to the heroes. I'm as poor as I used to earn 1200. The difference is that I spent 1200 a month alone. Now I earn 12000 a day and hundreds of people help me spend it.
Lao Zhang exposed the topic, changed his expression and said, "tell me about you. How do you get into the top 8?"
I corrected him: "top 4!"
Old Zhang said, "I said I didn't expect so many teams - nearly 200, didn't I? I didn't expect you to be in the top 8."
I continued to correct him: "top 4!"
Lao Zhang trimmed his sparse hair and said, "then tell me what's going on. I heard that there are many strong teams in it. I've also seen several other people's games. It's absolutely true that his men have real chapters. You cut through thorns and thorns by relying on several wild roads?"
I chewed the apple with my head down. I don't know what to say. Lao Zhang is different from the chairman. I don't want to cheat him, let alone cheat him. He has a lot of information.
Lao Zhang didn't wait for me to speak and said, "I finally did a good thing before I died. Once you win tomorrow's game, it's also good for the school."
I said in a muffled voice, "we can't win tomorrow's game." I don't think I can trample on the sustenance of a dying old man like a joke.
"Why?" Lao Zhang has taught Chinese all his life. Of course, he understands the difference between "can't win" and "can't win".
I lowered my head again.
Lao Zhang seemed to see the key of the problem. He asked, "who helped you compete?"
“……”
"What can't you say?" Lao Zhang's words are full of ridicule. The meaning is also very clear: what else can be kept secret from a dying person?
I was embarrassed and said, "don't say you're unhappy. I'm afraid you can't stand it. I'll even save tomorrow's anesthetic."
"Then save it!"
I calmed my mind and said, "you know 108 heroes in Liangshan..."
In 10 minutes. Lao Zhang stared at me foolishly.
I quickly waved my hand: "don't believe it, you think I farted."
Lao Zhang picked up an apple peel and threw it over. He scolded, "son of a bitch, you see, I'm dying before you tell me."
I was surprised and said, "do you believe it?"
"At the beginning, I felt something was wrong. There were 300 students. I still remember a man named Wei Tiezhu who said he had the word" township virtue ". Who was it - Yue Yun?"
I nodded: "yes, they are Yue Fei's own soldiers."
"It's hard to believe if I wasn't dying. Greet them for me and ask them to take care of Marshal Yue."
I said with a smile, "they can't see Yue Fei either."
"Those so-called teachers are Li Kui?"
"Yes, he lost the first game and beat his opponent half to death. As a result, the score was 0."
Then Lao Zhang and I laughed together. We talked about the funny stories of the heroes for a while. Lao Zhang asked me, "even so, the game can be won." Lao Zhang thought of something, grabbed me and said excitedly, "yes, you can win. When Yucai has become a national martial arts base, you can also help those children, Xiaoqiang, please!"
I patted Lao Zhang's bony hand: "no, the heroes have only one year, including 300 Yuejiajun. They are all the same, and they are about to leave. After winning the game, the money will be allocated and the students will be sent. What shall I do?"
Lao Zhang was stunned and disappointed. He took his hand away and said faintly after a long time: "you're right to do this."
I felt his disappointment and indifference. I stood up and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but I couldn't say it. Lao Zhang waved weakly at me: "you go, I'm tired."
I went to the door and finally looked back. Lao Zhang had been lying flat on the bed, thin as if he couldn't stand the weight of the quilt. Now even his spirit was depressed.
I moved to the door like a wooden pole. The steamed stuffed bun came up and asked me, "what did Mr. Zhang say to you?"
I asked her, "where's Sister Zhang?"
"I told her to go back to bed and come back tomorrow morning."
I sat on the bench in the corridor, holding my head and not talking. The steamed stuffed bun sat carefully beside me and asked softly, "what's the matter?"
I suddenly turned my face and asked her, "am I an asshole?"
The steamed stuffed bun said without hesitation, "yes."
I keep holding my head.
"But you're a cool asshole sometimes."
Worthy of being a student taught by Lao Zhang
Later in the night, the steamed stuffed bun fell asleep on my shoulder. I stared at the opposite wall all night, and my mind was in a mess. When it was slightly bright, my whole eyes and eyelids were red. I didn't move except for blinking occasionally. I've always been firm in an idea: I'm right, really right, absolutely right. I think Lao Zhang will understand my situation
Steamed stuffed bun was startled by me as soon as she opened her eyes. She shouted softly, "what are you doing?" I fell asleep.
I don't know how long later, I was awakened by a noise. I looked up and saw that Sister Zhang had come and was helping a group of doctors and nurses push Lao Zhang out. Steamed stuffed buns looked nervously at the back. In order to maintain the best state, Lao Zhang had inhaled pure oxygen. His eyes were rolling. It was obvious that he was looking for someone. When he saw me, he finally stopped searching, He looked at me so steadily, his pupils flashed, as if he had something to say to me. I quickly took out my mobile phone and pressed it on him. All he wanted to say was two words: child
I couldn't help it anymore. I jumped up. I shouted to Lao Zhang, "give it to me, we won't lose!"
Lao Zhang nodded comfortably. He closed his eyes and was pushed away without concern.
Looking at the watch, it was already 8:30. I was crazy. I stretched my coat and ran outside. The steamed stuffed bun grabbed me: "what are you doing?"
"I'll show you another cool one!" I got rid of her and stormed into the car. It didn't take me a few seconds to gallop on the road. I called Zhu GUI and asked him, "did the game start?"
Zhu GUI said, "brother Lin Chong has lost. Now Zhang Qing is playing."
I shouted at him, "let them win anyway!"
Zhu GUI immediately gasped and said, "did I hear you right? After we leave..."
I roared, "let those fuck, I want to win now!"
