Infinite Throne

After Zhang Xiaogang came, the already sumptuous diet was improved to a higher level. For lunch, we had plain-cut chicken, braised pork, scallion bacon, roast duck, and pig's trotter soup. In the evening, we had barbecue. I bought beef, mutton, and pork belly slices and roasted them at home.

With such a great atmosphere, it's hard not to drink. In order to allow their old father to drink freely, Zhang Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaoming each carried a box of Red Star Erguotou upstairs and bought a lot of beer.

"Dry!"

Lin Yebai continued to clink glasses with them, and what happened in the past few days happened again. Xiaogang has Red Star Erguotou in his hand and Double Happiness cigarettes in his other hand. Xiaoming does the same. Like his brother, he has developed a good habit of smoking.

"Tons, tons, tons, tons..."

Zhang Xiaoming drinks Erguotou like water. Recently, his alcohol consumption has increased significantly. He always feels that he can drink more. He always feels uncomfortable if he doesn't drink a few bottles at a meal.

Zhang Xiaogang sat there puffing away, squinting his eyes, inhaling a puff of white smoke full of nicotine, letting it settle in his lungs, naturally bringing a sense of ease.

Even though the words "smoking is harmful to health" are clearly written on the cigarette pack, he doesn't take it seriously. After all, how many smokers live to be ten years old, and how many of the smokers actually die because of smoking?

Whenever he looked at the empty cigarette box, he would urge himself in his heart that he should smoke less and not smoke so fiercely. When he lit the cigarette, the otherworldly pleasure instantly made him forget who he was. .

"I think country x should be like this..."

"A bunch of brainless people, if I were to be the president, the world would have been unified long ago..."

"Yes, I think we should start a war. Throw a nuclear bomb and see if they still cause trouble..."

Xiaogang and Xiaoming were very concerned about the international situation and got drunk. They were there to point out the country and promote words.

"Dad, what do you think?"

He even took the time to care about his old father.

"I think what you said is very good." Lin Yebai looked at his two sons with relief.

"Then why don't you fill it up for us?" Zhang Xiaoming said dissatisfiedly as he handed over the empty glass.

"Why are you talking to dad? That's the honorific used by elders." Zhang Xiaogang scolded, then smoked a cigarette and handed it to Lin Yebai, smiling:

"Dad, please light it for me."

"Why don't you try smoking two cigarettes at once?" Lin Yebai lit two cigarettes, hoping that his sons would have an enterprising spirit, dare to try, and make continuous progress.

"Okay, Dad, you are right." Zhang Xiaogang chuckled, put two cigarettes into his mouth, inhaled sharply, exhaled again, and couldn't help but sigh: "It feels so good..."

"Dad, please fill it up for me." Zhang Xiaoming handed over the wine glass in a learned manner.

Lin Yebai also complied with his request and directly opened a bottle of Erguotou and handed it over. Zhang Xiaoming did not refuse. Instead, he felt that the bottle would save trouble and continued to work. It was a great meal for both host and guest, and everyone was very happy.

After Zhang Xiaoming was drunk, he lay on his back on a chair, paralyzed, looking satiated, laughing in his sleep from time to time, and two pieces of paper fell to the ground in his pocket, like playing cards.

Lin Yebai reached out and picked it up, turned it over and took a look:

Midnight-Passion-Enjoyment-Temptation

vx137…248 Watch beautiful women taking a bath

He stuffed it back into Zhang Xiaoming's pocket. As a qualified old father, he must learn to respect his son's personal interests and hobbies.

When they woke up, they packed up and went out to meet their old classmates together. Lin Yebai didn't need to guess where his two sons had gone. They had no jobs, no business, and only great health care could fill the emptiness in their hearts.

Lin Yebai had a regular schedule. When he had nothing to do, he would go shopping on Hope Street, take photos, and record videos. When he came back, he would play chess and exercise with the old comrades nearby. Life is so plain and full of hope.

Usually, the two sons will not come back until midnight.

But tonight is different. It's already past two o'clock in the morning, and the sons haven't come back yet. Are they finally planning to experience a night out?

When he turned on his phone the next morning, Lin Yebai saw the missed calls. It turned out that he had turned on the do not disturb mode at night.

As you get older, your sleep is not good and you cannot stand being frightened, so you should turn on Do Not Disturb to avoid being woken up in the middle of the night and dying from the stimulation.

"Dad, Xiao Ming fainted last night and is still being treated in the hospital." Zhang Xiaogang was a little anxious, mainly because no one paid for his medical expenses.

"...Oh." Lin Yebai didn't expect that he would drink several boxes of Erguotou so quickly?

"Dad, can you bring money to the hospital? Xiao Ming is still rescuing him."

"There is no money left. Please pay Xiao Ming's medical expenses first." Lin Yebai flatly refused.

"Dad, I haven't had much money lately..." If Zhang Xiaogang really wants to sell his house and car, it's not that he can't fill the hole, but he just can't bear to pay for it himself, let alone use it to treat his brother's illness.

"You're looking for Xiao Hong, you can't watch Xiao Ming die in the hospital, right?" Lin Yebai hung up the phone after saying that.

Zhang Xiaogang called Zhang Xiaohong, but of course he had no money. He called his old father again. Xiao Ming was his son and he couldn't ignore it.

Lin Yebai still went to the hospital. Zhang Xiaoming suddenly fainted because he played too crazy in some places and was bloated. The man who weighed almost 200 pounds could not be lifted by several medical staff. He was still passing by nearby. Several kind-hearted people helped carry him to the ambulance.

Early liver cancer aggravates acute cholecystitis and causes gastric bleeding. He is not very old, but has high blood sugar, high blood lipids, and high blood pressure. It is obvious at a glance how unhealthy his daily habits are.

Comrade Zhang Genshu didn't have much savings, so Lin Yebai took out a part of it to pay off the medical expenses from his last hospitalization. As for the old house, he didn't want to sell it because there were too many memories there.

"Dad, how about using your ID card to apply for a loan?" Zhang Xiaogang quickly came up with a solution.

"Xiao Ming is only in the early stages of liver cancer now, and there is still hope if he undergoes surgery." He suggested.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Lin Yebai called the Hope Street helpline and was quickly connected.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

The accents of the people here are a bit soft, and they speak like a coquettish voice. The word "sir" is pronounced as "senior". It's okay for young girls, but some old men and women also speak like this. Lin Yebai was a little uncomfortable at first, but now he is used to it.

"Hello, is this the Hope Street xx Mutual Aid Association?" Lin Yebai asked.

"Yes, do you want to handle related business? As long as you meet the conditions, you can participate in the activities here..."

The staff are used to receiving calls from the elderly. Some elderly people want to reduce some burdens for their children and will take the initiative to call to ask to participate.

"I want to do it for my son."

"He is in the early stage of liver cancer and has acute cholecystitis..." Lin Yebai talked about Zhang Xiaoming's general situation.

"If it's just in the early stage, we don't recommend it."

"He often goes to the hair salon, and likes to smoke and drink, drinking several bottles at a time..." Lin Yebai added.

"That's fine, you can report the specific address and hospital ward, we will send someone to investigate and register the information, if you meet the conditions, you can go through the procedures directly." The staff immediately felt that Zhang Xiaoming was also a good candidate.

"Dad, what channel are you looking for, is it formal?" Zhang Xiaogang was worried that his old father was cheated.

"Anyway, you can get the money." Lin Yebai stopped talking, and Zhang Xiaogang remained silent.

Not long after, Lin Yebai successfully bought a longevity insurance for Zhang Xiaoming and signed his name.

"This..." Zhang Xiaogang saw this familiar information, and his heart was beating like a drum for a while, with mixed feelings. Did Dad find out?

"Is there something wrong with this? I don't understand the longevity insurance. Is he a liar?" Lin Yebai tried to look at the small print on the contract. His eyes were three parts confused, three parts doubtful, three parts worried, and one part at a loss.

"Let me see." Zhang Xiaogang took the contract and looked through it carefully. An idea came to his mind. Why not just leave it like this?

First, hide it from Xiao Ming and don't let him know that he has liver cancer. The money from signing the contract this time is just enough to cover the cost of Xiao Ming's gallbladder surgery.

If Dad dies early, then tell Xiao Ming about liver cancer, and then Xiao Ming will have money for surgery.

If Dad lives longer than Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming will go in front and Dad will go behind, then I can get two shares of the money.

Xiao Ming bought longevity insurance for Dad, and I split the money with him. This is not a glamorous thing. If Xiao Ming gets drunk one day and tells it casually, it will definitely cause trouble. If Xiao Ming dies of illness, no one will know.

The more Zhang Xiaogang thought about it, the more reasonable it was, and his eyes became brighter.

"Is there any problem?" Lin Yebai asked.

"No problem." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Dad, this donation organization is quite formal. Where did you see it?"

He was still suspicious and worried that his old father knew about the longevity insurance.

The staff will not tell you clearly that as long as xx dies at a certain time, you can get how much money, but use a bunch of professional terms to bury the truth in it.

"I saw it in the newspaper." Lin Yebai took out a newspaper from his pocket, as well as the little GG of Hope Street and the contact number. It looked like a charity organization.

"So that's the case. This organization is very formal. Don't worry. Xiao Ming will be cured."

"That's good." Lin Yebai nodded.

"By the way, Dad, don't tell Xiao Ming that he has cancer during this period. I'm afraid it will affect his mentality. If he asks, just say it's acute cholecystitis."

"Okay." Lin Yebai seems to trust this eldest son.

"Dad, there are many patients here. You should go back. I will take care of Xiaoming."

"Then I will go first." Lin Yebai put away the longevity insurance. Zhang Xiaogang wanted to stop him, but then he thought that if he kept it in his hands, there would be no place to hide it, so he reminded him: "Dad, keep it well and don't let Xiaoming see it, so as not to hit his self-esteem. Men, all want face."

"Okay." Lin Yebai took Zhang Xiaoming's longevity insurance home, thought about it, and hid it in his shroud.

He didn't know about the hospital's affairs, and Zhang Xiaogang handled it very well.

Zhang Xiaoming was discharged from the hospital a week later. He didn't know that he had liver cancer. He only knew that he fainted because of cholecystitis and the operation was successful.

"To celebrate your discharge, I ordered a table of dishes in the restaurant." Zhang Xiaogang seemed to have found the brotherhood that had been missing for decades. He was gentle and patient with Zhang Xiaoming and served him a bowl of old hen soup.

"Dad, you eat too."

"Okay." Lin Yebai looked at the warm scene in front of him and was very relieved.

"Xiaoming has just been discharged from the hospital, let's drink beer today." Zhang Xiaogang poured a glass of beer for his brother.

"Cheers!" Zhang Xiaoming raised his glass, motioned for everyone to clink glasses together, and said with a smile: "Our family is complete and neat, no one can be missing."

[Primary school students skipping homework]: Scared

[Woo woo weird]: Such a warm family, tears

"Complete and neat, no one can be missing." Lin Yebai followed suit and raised his glass and clinked it. He never drank every time, waiting for his two sons to get drunk before pouring the wine, and he was already quite skilled.

"You should drink less in the future. It's bad for your health. It's uncomfortable to lie in the hospital." Zhang Xiaoming sighed.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaogang's smile was not very natural. He thought that patients who underwent liver cancer surgery were prone to relapse and their survival period was only five or ten years, or even less. He felt that it was good for Xiaoming not to have surgery.

Rather than dying in despair and pain, it is better to be happy, smoke and drink, and live to the fullest in the last period of time.

After a few days, Zhang Xiaoming's incision healed, and he went to see his old classmates with Xiaogang again, and did not return all night.

The next day, Lin Yebai opened his mobile phone and looked at the missed calls and text messages. This time, Zhang Xiaogang fainted while visiting his old classmates and coughed up blood.

Acute appenditis, early lung cancer, and syphilis.

"Dad, bring some money to the hospital. My brother still needs surgery."

Lin Yebai was already very familiar with the procedure, and brought the newspaper with the Hope Street GG to the hospital again.

"There's no money at home. I think this organization can help with medical expenses. Let's contact the eldest brother and try."

Zhang Xiaoming felt a little nervous. Isn't this a "death bet"?

"Xiaoming, you advance Xiaogang's medical expenses first, I'll call and ask."

"No, no, no, I'll call." Zhang Xiaoming was afraid that his old father would learn that his life had also become a bet when communicating with the staff, so he took the initiative to take over the formalities.

He called skillfully and briefly reported Zhang Xiaogang's physical condition, not only lung cancer, syphilis, but also his habit of smoking three packs a day and visiting old classmates.

Zhang Xiaogang's longevity insurance was also successfully handled. 10% of the money was enough for an appendicitis surgery, but the cost of lung cancer surgery was far from enough.

Zhang Xiaoming felt a little guilty. Recently, his eldest brother has been very good to him and cared about him, but...his eldest brother also knew about the longevity insurance. If his eldest brother died, he would get two huge sums of money.

Zhang Xiaoming looked at Lin Yebai, thought for a while, and finally spoke:

[Class Representative]: Dad, don't tell my eldest brother about his cancer recently, so as not to affect his mentality. If he asks, just say appendicitis.

[Left and Right Male]: Repeated nesting dolls

[Messenger of Justice]: Who did I sell out, and who sold me out

[Literature Instructor]: Those who gamble on others, others will always gamble on them
