Huang Erniu immediately understood, "Grandpa, let's listen to Brother Bei and go to the hospital right now. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to live anymore. Seeing you so miserable these past two days, it hurts you physically, but it hurts me too. I haven't dared to sleep for two nights, fearing that something might happen to you at night. If something happens to you, what do you want me to do? Let's go to the hospital, okay?"
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll listen to you. Let's go to the hospital."
Yang Xiaobei carried Mr. Huang on his back and said to Huang Erniu, "Bring the food with you and let's go to the hospital together."
The doctor prescribed medicine for Mr. Wang and gave him an IV drip. The three of them didn't return to the Huang family until after 8 o'clock in the evening.
After Grandpa Huang fell asleep, Huang Erniu asked Yang Xiaobei, "Brother Bei, how much is my grandfather's medical expenses? I'll give it to you."
"It's not much money, no need."
"How can that be? You spend money a lot in the countryside, so I have to give you some. Just tell me how much." Brother Bei was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. He must be having a very hard time in the countryside. Brother Bei had it hard enough, and she couldn't hold him back anymore.
"Alright, I'm not short of money. I really don't need it. We've known each other since we were kids, and you should know I'm not the type to pretend to be rich. There were many times when I was starving as a kid, and it was you and your grandfather who saved a little and gave me some. So what's wrong with me paying for some of the medical expenses? We're so familiar with each other, isn't your grandfather my grandfather?"
"Brother Bei, I know you're doing this for my own good, but please don't lie to me. You must have had a very hard life in the countryside, otherwise you wouldn't be so thin."
"I'm tired, not poor. I don't need that little money. March is the busy farming season. I work from the beginning of the month to the end of the month without stopping for even a single day. Plus, I don't have time to buy meat. I eat food with little oil every day. Also, I recently found an old soldier and learned military boxing from him. I'm busy for 18 hours out of 24 hours a day. How can I not lose weight? But it's all worth it to learn military boxing." Yang Xiaobei's eyes sparkled when he thought about how he would be able to fight ten people at once.
Yang Xiaobei believed that as long as his fighting skills were good enough, he would be able to pass the assessment of the Public Security Bureau in September, and would be able to return to the city smoothly. He would have a bright future and would never suffer from hunger, cold, or hardship again.
"Thank you, Brother Bei." Brother Bei is such a nice person. When I was a child, he helped me when other children bullied me. After I grew up, he still helped me even when he went to the countryside.
…
"Brother Bei, Grandpa wants me to get my diploma early? He will transfer the job to me next month."
Yang Xiaobei encouraged him, "Grandpa Huang is so old now, it's time for him to enjoy a few years of peace and quiet. When you take over the job, do your best and don't let Grandpa Huang worry about you."
"I will, Brother Bei. I have something I want to ask your opinion on." Huang Erniu's face turned a little red as he spoke, looking like a young boy in love.
"What's the matter? Tell me." We are two men talking together, why are you blushing?
"Brother Bei, do you still remember Li Yun, the most beautiful girl in our class?"
"I remember, what's wrong?" A pretentious little white lotus.
"Li Yun has been looking for me frequently these days. This afternoon she suddenly told me that she wanted to date me?" Huang Erniu blushed after he said this.
Yang Xiaobei frowned, "You agree?"
"No, no, this happened too suddenly. When Li Yun said that, I was so scared that I asked for leave and went home immediately."
"Do you like Li Yun?"
"I wouldn't say I like her, but Li Yun is pretty. It would be nice to have a wife as pretty as her."
"When marrying a wife, you can't just look at her beauty, you have to consider her character, otherwise you will suffer in the end."
"Does Li Yun know that you are going to take over your grandfather's job?"
"Huh? You probably don't know? I only told my homeroom teacher because I needed to get my diploma early."
"If Li Yun finds out about you taking over this job, she must be eyeing your job, which is why she's suddenly pestering you. If you don't like Li Yun, reject her directly and be firm. Don't give her a chance to pester you."
Li Yun is no pushover. She's one thing on the outside, another behind the scenes. From what I know, she's got four boys in our class and the next door combined who've been completely swayed by her, spending money and effort on her. Otherwise, given the Li family's strong preference for boys over girls, how could Li Yun have even gone to high school? You'll graduate in June, and if you don't have a job, you'll have to go to the countryside. Li Yun has only two options: get married or go to the countryside. She has to think for herself. Li Yun isn't someone willing to be ordinary. I suspect she approached you just to get your job."
Huang Erniu laughed and said, "Work is such an important matter, and I'm not stupid. How could I possibly give it to Li Yun? Even if Li Yun married me, I would never transfer the work to her."
Yang Xiaobei looked at Huang Erniu with a look of "How can you still be so naive?" "Sometimes, even if you don't want to, you have to change jobs. Have you forgotten the hooligan case we saw in junior high school? The only thing the man had to pay for the compensation was his underwear."
Huang Erniu's face turned pale when he heard this.
Yang Xiaobei was afraid that Huang Erniu would do something stupid, so he continued, "How dare you dream of a woman like Li Yun? Do you think your life is too good? In terms of character, Li Yun is a magnet for attention. If you marry her, you won't be afraid that she will cheat on you one day. In terms of family background, the Li family is notorious for favoring boys over girls. The Li parents are only interested in getting benefits from their daughters to support their sons. Marrying a woman like this will definitely cause trouble. Erniu, for the sake of a better life in the future, you must never touch a woman like Li Yun. If you marry her, you will bring disaster to three generations."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Bei. I'll reject Li Yun tomorrow and stay as far away from her as possible in the future." My grandfather and I rely on this job to make a living, and I will never let anything unexpected happen to this job.
"That's right, you listened to me. When we get married, we don't have to marry a beautiful, rich woman, but we don't want someone who's a drag on us. We rarely had a full meal when we were little. Now that we've finally grown up, do we have the ability to change the status quo? We're about to live a good life. I can't let all my efforts go to waste just for a 'wife'. If that's the case, I'd rather remain single." The world is vast, but nothing is more important than food and clothing. What kind of love is this that requires sacrifice? If anyone interferes with the quality of my life, even if they're a fairy, I'll kick them out and tell them to get as far away as they can and stay away from me.
"Don't worry, Brother Bei. Although I'm not as smart as you, I'm not stupid either. I know how much my grandfather's job means to our family, and I won't take any risks with it." A wife is not as important as having a full stomach. A man can live without a wife, but he absolutely cannot live without food.
