Self-cultivation of spare tire

When the sky was slightly bright, the PHS beside Chen Zhu's bed beeped.

He turned over and picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone was my aunt's voice with a strong hometown accent.

"Grandpa is dying." The woman came with a deep crying voice, "He rolled down the slope in May and injured his lumbar spine. If others try to force him to go to the hospital, he can't even walk in the end." I just went."

Chen Zhu woke up instantly. He got up, packed his luggage, and asked, "Now? What's the situation?"

"It can't be done, it can't be done... Come back soon, Zhuzi, we didn't dare to tell you until you finished the exam, come back soon."

At that moment, Chen Zhu couldn't say a word.

For the first time in his life, his mind went blank.

In fact, the person he feared the most since childhood was Chen Wenguo.

Chen Wenguo has always been strict, especially when dealing with Chen Zhu.But that night when Chen Zhu was about to leave home to study in the capital, he accidentally saw Chen Wenguo secretly stuffing money into his suitcase.

Chen Zhu will always remember the picture of this old man who refuses to accept his old age and wants to be strong all his life, bowing his body and laboriously putting a wad of crumpled money into his suitcase.

In the past, Chen Zhu didn't understand why his grandfather was so stingy with giving even a little smile. It wasn't until Chen Zhu grew up that he understood the meaning behind Chen Wenguo's sternness.

It is extremely difficult for a child who lost his parents at a young age and was fostered under other people's roof to raise a gentleman.

Chen Wenguo used the most extreme but also the most helpless method to force Chen Zhu to become what he expected.

On Chen Zhu's shoulders is Chen Wenguo's expectation, as well as Chen Wenguo's quiet love.

"I'm booking tickets now." Chen Zhu said calmly, but his hands shaking uncontrollably when packing his luggage.

In the rush, Chen Zhu accidentally caught a glimpse of those big and powerful characters on the desk.

Heaven rewards those who work hard——it is a ruler that Chen Wenguo hangs above Chen Zhu's head.

Chen Zhu knew Chen Wenguo's sternness, his stubbornness and rigidity.

But never thought that Chen Wenhui would fall down one day.He never thought that a person as tall as a mountain would fall overnight.

Before Chen Zhu was ready, the issue of life and death rushed towards him.

He rushed to the train station overnight, and when he got to the ticket window, he found that all his money added up, and he couldn't afford a high-speed rail ticket.

The heavy burden bent the boy's back, he bent his body, and discussed with the conductor: "Hello, can I borrow 100 yuan from you, I—"

"No, no, no." The conductor at the window waved his hand and drove people away impatiently.

Chen Zhu had no choice but to open the suitcase, rummaging through something awkwardly.

Finally, he saw the black card in the shirt pocket.

He didn't hesitate, or in other words, didn't dare to think too much, and didn't dare to be hypocritical at this moment.

Chen Zhu took out the card and paid without hesitation.

For the first time, he used Xu Lanting's money.

On the train, Chen Zhu closed his eyes tiredly.He thought that he owed Xu Lanting after all.

"High-speed rail ticket..." In the clubhouse, the man was sitting lazily, and the corners of his eyes were still red because of the alcohol.

However, after he saw the message on the phone clearly, his sloppy expression subsided in an instant, and his eyes narrowed.

"Check it out for me, where did he go?" Xu Lanting said coldly, threw the phone to his side and got up, "Check it out immediately."

Chen Zhu's whereabouts were quickly found out, including the reason why Chen Zhu returned to Guizhou overnight, and news soon came out.

Xu Lanting asked for a glass of ice water, and ordered the servants to pack the order, "Sorry, I have something to do at the moment. I'll buy the order, everyone continue to play."

Someone asked Xu Lanting to stay. It was a bit of a disappointment for the main character to leave the party at such a late night.

However, Xu Lanting abandoned his previous tact, uncharacteristically swept away people's face, "Get out of the way." After saying that, he left without looking back.

"What the hell." The person whose face was swept away was somewhat upset, "It's he who says he's in a bad mood and wants to get together, and he's the one who wants to leave in the middle of the game."

"Tsk, I see Xu Lanting like this, why does he seem to be in a hurry to coax his girlfriend?"

"Just kidding." The man smiled and touched the legs of the girl next to him, "He, Xu Lanting, can make such a fuss for Xiaoqinger, I will give you three heads-knocking!"

When the sky was slightly bright, Chen Zhu walked out of the high-speed rail station.There were many cars from the provincial capital to the countryside, and Chen Zhu boarded the car without any trouble.

But Chen Zhu suffered from motion sickness so badly that he endured it all the way.However, as Xu Lanting said, after learning to drive, he really didn't feel as dizzy as before. He endured the drive for more than an hour.

When getting off the car, Chen Zhu saw his aunt and uncle from a distance.

Before even having time to exchange pleasantries, my uncle picked up Chen Zhu's suitcase: "I'll take the suitcase home for you, and you go to the hospital first."

The aunt is holding Chen Zhu, and she hasn't seen her for three years. The once thin boy is already taller than her by a large margin.

She fought back her tears, "Zhuzi, go and see grandpa."

"How is grandpa?" Chen Zhu resisted the feeling of dizziness while walking, "What did the doctor say?"

Finally, my aunt couldn't bear it anymore, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "They all said that the operation is impossible, and I will let fate."

"Transfer hospital for grandpa immediately." Chen Zhu said calmly, "I have chartered a car, and now I can go to the provincial capital immediately. If the provincial capital is not available, I will go to the capital."

The aunt was stunned and couldn't react, "We went to the provincial capital to ask, and the operation fee is at least 20." The woman closed her eyes in despair, "If it was possible, I would sell my life..."

Chen Zhu embraced her aunt, and hugged her gently, "Auntie..." Chen Zhu said with some difficulty, "I have money."

The shiny leather shoes accidentally got stuck in the mud, and the man raised his legs impatiently, "Tsk." Seeing that his pants were covered in mud spots, Xu Lanting frowned.

Seeing this, the bodyguard beside him tentatively said, "Mr. Xu, why don't I carry you there?"

Xu Lanting glanced at him, and the bodyguard immediately shut up.

"Fuck" Xu Lanting sighed heavily, and stepped on the muddy path resignedly, not caring about his trousers and shoes that were already full of mud.

People who grew up in rich and noble villages, how have they ever experienced the desolation of mountainous areas?

If Xu Lanting hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there would still be such a backward area in this era.

The child on the side of the road was wearing tattered clothes, his face covered with mud and snot, and he looked at Xu Lanting curiously.

The old man pulling the ox cart and holding his trousers, the woman squatting in the vegetable field and digging the ground, the dilapidated thatched hut, the rugged mountain road...

The bodyguard on the side was already sweating, but Xu Lanting still had no intention of stopping.

He found the village all the way, but due to the language barrier, it took him a long time to find out where the Chen family lived.

Turning into a few small roads, Xu Lanting finally stopped in front of a wooden house.

The house looks like it was built by our own family, and the tiles are piled up messily on the roof, revealing the sun and rain mottled.The door of the main room was open, and you could see the dirt floor inside without even a brick.

Looking at the yard at the end, there is a small well in the yard, and the rusty water dispenser is leaking water.

Seeing that there seemed to be no one in the room, Xu Lanting walked to the well, trying to get some water to wash his hands, but he couldn't do it.

"Who?" came a voice with a thick accent.

Xu Lanting turned around and saw a thin man.

"Are you from Chen Zhu's family?" Xu Lanting calmly wanted to put his hand into the well.

The man stopped Xu Lanting, "Who are you?" Saying so, he still kindly fetched Xu Lanting a basin of water.

Xu Lanting washed his hands slowly, "I'm Chen Zhu's...friend." He raised his eyes, looked at the man without any trace, and said slowly, "Are you Azhu's uncle? I heard him mention you."

The man was dubious at first, but under Xu Lanting's superb disguise, the kind-hearted uncle still believed in the seemingly polite man in front of him.

"Chen Zhu, where is he now?"

"Oh." Uncle sighed, took the basin from Xu Lanting's hand, "It's in the hospital. His grandfather is sick, and he is taking care of him in the health center."

"Oh?" Xu Lanting was kind and seductive, "I heard from Chen Zhu that he came back to see his grandfather. I just don't know, which hospital is it?"

"There is only one health center in the village, and the grocery store on the side of the road is not far away."

The man smiled decently, "Okay, thank you." He took off his coat and handed it to the bodyguard on the side, "You wait for me here."

Xu Lanting bent down and rolled up his trousers, took off his precious watch and handed it to the bodyguard.

He looked at the sneakers on the bodyguard's feet and said, "Take off the shoes and give them to me."

There are quite a lot of people in the hospital, and the corridors are full of women holding children, or men squatting on the ground waiting to see a doctor.

Chen Zhu walked through the crowd, searching in an eight-person ward.

Finally, he saw Chen Wenguo, whose eyes were closed and covered in cold sweat, on the bed next to the wall.

Chen Zhu took a deep breath, and said to his aunt beside him: "Auntie, you go to contact the doctor to help us transfer, I..." He couldn't speak anymore, and turned around with sobs.

"Okay." The woman hesitated with red eyes, and asked again, "Zhuzi, your money..."

"Enough." Chen Zhu gritted his teeth, "As much as you want."

After his aunt left, Chen Zhu straightened up slowly and walked towards Chen Wenguo's hospital bed.

"Grandpa." Chen Zhu tugged at Chen Wenguo's sleeve helplessly, hoping that the old man would open his eyes and take a look at him.

However, Chen Wenguo's legs were already swollen and out of shape, and he could hardly keep his eyes open due to the pain from the continuous torture.

While unconscious, Chen Wenguo whispered something.

Chen Zhu leaned over slowly and approached.He heard Chen Wenguo call his nickname for the first time in his life.

It is a warmth that has never been seen under the ruler for many years.

"Bamboo...Little Bamboo..."

Almost instantly, Chen Zhu couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He knelt down beside the hospital bed and wept bitterly.

The health center was noisy with people, some children were crying heart-piercingly, and some adults were sobbing softly.

"Grandpa..." Chen Zhu's shoulders collapsed, the young man seemed unable to bear the load, his back was bent, and he knelt down in front of life and death in despair.

Suddenly, a pair of hands slowly supported the young man's thin shoulders.

The man's low voice rang in his ears.

"The best doctor in Beijing is already on the way here. The car from the hospital is too slow. I called a special car. We will transfer your grandfather to another hospital immediately."

"Azhu." The man called him loudly, pulling the boy back to the world, "Azhu, did you hear me, huh?"

Chen Zhu raised his eyes and saw Xu Lanting's deep eyes through the mist.

Xu Lanting raised his hand to wipe away the boy's tears, and held him firmly in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
