Wang Maolin took out things one by one, including towels, tea leaves, clothes, and finally took out a stainless steel basin. He weighed the basin in his hands, then raised it into the air, then raised his right index finger and tapped it with a "dang-dang" sound.

The clear sound of the basin was like water waves, which swayed to the wall and then fell back. Then he raised the basin in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang who was reading a book, and said as he walked: "What do you think of this basin?"

Zhang Xiao was forced to put down the book. With a smile on his face, he took the stainless steel basin that was handed over to him. He weighed it and found it to be quite heavy. He said, "Good basin. The weight is really heavy. The material seems to be good!"

Wang Maolin added: "Not to mention such a good stainless steel basin, even an ordinary plastic basin will cost more than ten or twenty yuan on the market! A better stainless steel basin will cost twenty or thirty yuan in a small supermarket, right? In the market

It costs more than ten yuan to buy it online. Guess how much the pot I bought cost? Guess?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said helplessly: "It's only ten and fifteen dollars, right?"

When Wang Maolin heard this, he snorted in a pretentious manner, emphasized his tone, and said in a voice that seemed to be sucking into his lungs: "I bought this basin for only six yuan! Believe it or not!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, it's so cheap, where did you buy it?"

Wang Maolin replied: "Jishang! I said you young people don't know how to buy things... Look, I bought this basin with such a hard material and such a thick board for only six yuan... I sold it on the market that day

There was a person selling shrimp paste with a whole stack of tricycle pots there. A group of people gathered around to grab it. I quickly ran over to take a look. It turned out that they were pots used by the mobile company for activities. Someone had made a batch and sold them as a cool product!

When I saw how good this pot was, I thought one was not enough, so I bought two!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Well, you really made a profit!" But he said in his heart, "It's cheap but not good, how can the sky drop a pie!"

Wang Maolin shook out several more red, yellow and green towels and showed off to the Zhang family and his son: "Look at the towels I bought, they only cost two yuan each." He turned around and handed one to his brother and said loudly to him, "

From now on, don’t use that toilet paper to wipe your face again... Did you see? Use this and wipe it clean! Use that toilet paper to wipe your face with paper foam, it’s like snow, and it’s all over your body...

Use this...have you seen it?"

After saying that, he took a towel and dangled it in front of his brother's face. The brother understood, hesitantly took the towel and laughed at himself: "How can I afford such a good towel with such a dirty face?"

The younger brother raised his voice and said, "Just use it! Throw it away when it's dirty. It's only two yuan a piece! Don't use that toilet paper from now on. That toilet paper is more expensive than this towel... Do you hear me?"

He nodded hurriedly, not sure whether he really heard it or pretended to hear it.

Finally finishing cleaning up, Wang Maolin moved a seat and sat next to Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was still sitting in the typical "Wang style": upper body straight, half buttocks sitting on the bench, crossed legs, right leg pressed against left leg, looking at

Looking forward, his right hand rested naturally on his left wrist, his two eyes sunk deep in the hollows were bright and shining, and he began his tirade.

Facing his brother, judging from the voice, he was talking to the Zhang family and his son: "Oh, you don't know, there are so many people in our village! When I went back this time, I just listened to some rumors.

...Do you know what those people in the village said? They said, 'Your brother has ruined our village. Our village has no money to begin with, and your brother is a 'five-guarantee household'. He is building a new house, and

How come the village is so nice to this old man... Just listen, there are still people like this in the village, they are all hateful people... These words go straight to the ears of the mother-in-law.

Oh...Humph! After you get home from the hospital, I will help you arrange free meals in the village, so that you can eat without spending money. I have to make these people angry... Do you think you are angry or not?

, this is the park’s money, not the village’s money…”

Zhang Xiaoqiang asked in confusion: "Your village also provides free meals to the elderly?"

Wang Maolin replied: "Yes, our village has a preferential treatment system for the elderly. As long as they are over seventy years old, they will be counted as one. When it comes to meal time, they can get free meals. There are also steamed buns and vegetables, steamed buns and dumplings... In the village

A canteen for the elderly has been set up, with a dedicated chef serving three meals a day..."

Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed: "The system in your village is really good!"

Wang Maolin said: "That's right! For this matter, the district TV station even went to our village to interview. Old men and women, with and without teeth, all smiled at the camera and praised the good society and good treatment.

, allowing the elderly in rural areas to live a good life...I am getting older, and at the end of my life, I was even on TV!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "The leaders of your village are so courageous..."

Wang Maolin said: "Yes, this move costs a lot of money. It is terrible to calculate it carefully. It will take a long time, not a day and a half..."

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "What you are saying is...your village seems to treat the 'five guarantee households' well, and has even built new houses?"

Wang Maolin replied: "No way! Building a house is not a matter of the village, it is a matter of civil affairs. This is something that Jianguo and I ran down..."

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Maoshu, and then said: "My brother's original house is honestly unlivable. It was an adobe house that was built many years ago. It turned out to have a thatch roof. It leaked when it rained. It was raining heavily outside.

, it rained a little in the house, and then I had no choice but to close the tiles after a few years. As time passed, bricks and tiles fell off, and the soil on the wall fell into pieces... Then it rained in June.

The old man had to hit it inside! My family, Jianguo, and I ran all over the place and went to the park to ask for help, so we built two houses with bricks and tiles reaching the top! ... This made everyone in the village angry!"

The old man on the bed heard his younger brother talking about the house. He flexed his fingers and listened carefully, as if he could hear it. He interjected: "How big is the house? It's similar to this ward, with big blue bricks and flat floors.

, two spacious rooms, with windows and doors, and the door locks are very advanced, I don’t even know how to do it... The water and electricity are also connected... I plan to leave the hospital and go home.

Just ask someone to help me make a bed for me, and I will live in it after the Chinese New Year. Anyway, I won’t be short of anything, there will be water and electricity... I’m so old, wouldn’t it be great to live in a new house!”

Zhang Xiaoqiang heard the pride and showoff in the old man's tone, and echoed, "Not bad, not bad!"

Wang Maolin raised his head and faced the old man and said loudly: "Jianguo has gone back. He won't be here for a while. He is also very busy. He went to the branch."

The old man said: "Well, yes, don't let him come again, just look at me... I know he is very busy. One store is not enough, so he opened a branch... Selling lamps, the lamps upstairs,

Chandeliers, ceiling lamps, this is something that is happening right now..."

His tone was full of showoff.

The elder brother seemed to have remembered something. He took out the two hundred yuan given to him by his nephew Wang Jianguo from his pocket, held it up with three fingers and said to his younger brother: "Look, yesterday Guo came to see me and called me again."

After dinner, he served me again and gave me two hundred yuan before leaving!"

The younger brother immediately raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "What do you want his money for!"

My brother argued: "I don't want him to stop, so he just pulls me and throws me on my bed and runs away!"

The younger brother rushed forward, easily held the money in his hand and said, "I'll keep it for you. It's useless for you to take the money! You can't walk or run, you can't get in or out, and you can't.

You can’t buy food or groceries.”

The elder brother looked at his empty fingers, as if his soul had been emptied out in an instant, but he quickly recovered and said: "Yes, you can hold it for me. It's useless for me to hold it. You have to buy food and rice."

Use... after all, Jianguo is a very good kid..."

The younger brother said: "Yes, Guo is a good kid. He is willing to sacrifice himself for others! He has been very sympathetic to others since he was a child. For this reason, I just talk about him, and I don't know where he is at the disadvantage... Oh, I think about it, Guo is pregnant with his partner.

The second child was found to be a boy, the boss, and he laughed so hard when he heard about this country..."

After saying that, he also laughed loudly, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed the two bottomless pools of cold water in his eyes. Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart sank, thinking of his two daughters, one older and one younger, as if he was frustrated.

Normally, when one's self-esteem is hurt, sighs of unfair fate and all kinds of disgust for the villain's success arise, and the laughter feels particularly harsh...

After millennia of trivial matters and ten thousand years of trivial talk, the younger brother suddenly became serious and said loudly in his ear: "You have to pay attention to one thing... I have already reported to our village that you can't take care of yourself... You don't

You know what I mean, I have to explain it clearly to you. No matter who you tell in the future, you have to tell me that you can't handle it anymore, so that I can take care of you... I have the right to work as a part-time job! You have to stay here for a few more days.

That's it. Don't be in a hurry to go back. If you go back, you won't have to pay me that much after you get to our house. It will only be seven or eighty yuan at most... It's great to be here, one hundred and fifty yuan.

The money is much better than me doing odd jobs selling shrimp paste..."

My brother understood and cooperated: "Well, if I don't go back, what will I do? It's so nice for me to be here. I have food and drink. I just have to carry my clothes. I can stretch my hands for food and open my mouth. I have someone to accompany me. I can also eat and drink."

Someone is giving me injections and nursing care... I won't go back... If I want to go back, look at me like this. My hands are broken, my feet are awkward to walk, I can't cook, the stove can't turn on the stove, and I will freeze to death..."

The younger brother said: "That's right. I managed to get over this problem with great difficulty. There are still people in the village who are always making trouble. Only the park can handle this problem. How difficult! So, you must not think that you are great and show off too early.

Discharged..." My brother nodded frequently after hearing this.

Because the younger brother came and had supporters around him, the elder brother was very excited and started talking about the people in his village: "Oh, in our village, some people are just so hateful... I

When I broke my arm, some people asked me, do you still want to live? Hey! What did you think they were saying? Are you kidding me, or are you cursing me?"

The younger brother interjected: "How can people curse you? They can play with you just because they can make trouble with you...Uncles, nephews, and sisters-in-law have been making fun of each other since ancient times. Look, follow you

It's just a joke, but you don't want to do it! Who is this!"

Wang Maoshu was scolded and remained silent.

Suddenly something occurred to him and he felt that he should express his gratitude. Wang Maoshu turned to his brother and pointed at Zhang Xiaoqiang and said: "In the past two days since you have been away, you have relied on this person to buy me food, pour me water, and give me food."

I urinate... Lu Kangkang from Yingkou also helped me buy food, and doctor Jiang Bichang... He (referring to Zhang Xiaoqiang) is a very kind person! Look at this, he only eats and drinks from other people.

You still owe me what you deserve! People have kind hearts, and they cultivate it to their adults and children... You don’t know, there is a sign with the word "kind" on their door, and I feel worse than the person who bought me food.

…”

Wang Maolin lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Maoshu raised his thumb and pointed at Zhang Xiaoqiang and said: "Good man!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "We are all elderly people in the same ward, so we should help..."

Wang Maolin didn't want to accompany him, and he was disgusted with his brother, so he stayed in the ward and was bored. Zhang Xiaoqiang only focused on studying and was not willing to waste time talking nonsense with people like him. Therefore, unless forced, Wang Maolin never stayed in the ward, or in the corner

Smoking, or wandering around in various wards, asking for news about various patients, it seems that without cigarettes and gossip, life has lost its meaning.

The situation is often as follows: once he returns to the ward, he will either be filled with the dizzying and nauseating odor of cigarette smoke, or he will be filled with scandals and gossips. Any news will be processed by him into gossip for satire and ridicule.

Material. At this time, seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang was unwilling to pay attention to him, he left the ward angrily, leaving the old man behind and went outside.

When he came back, he reported the latest news to everyone: "An old woman from our village came to the hospital a few days ago. I didn't know until I heard that she broke her waist... This old woman is sick all over her body and is not well.

I’m in a bad place, my brain is not good, my legs don’t like to move, and now my waist is broken... I went out just now to find her to have sex with, but I didn’t see her..."

Zhang Xiaoqiang was too lazy to listen to these scraps, so he automatically filtered them in his mind. He still held his "Philosophy of Life" and read it non-stop, concentrating on filtering out the impurities and garbage in the sounds.

Wang Maolin stepped forward and asked Zhang Xiaoqiang: "How many children do you have?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang replied: "Two!"

Wang Maolin asked: "One boy and one girl?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Two girls!"

Wang Maolin said: "Very good, come and enjoy the blessings when you are old!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "How can we expect children!"

Wang Maolin continued: "It turns out that this old woman in our village has been discharged from the hospital. No wonder I can't see her... I asked about other patients and heard that she went to Dongcheng, the best hospital in our city, the Municipal People's Hospital... Her son

She has an excavator, and her daughter's life is not bad. The family has plenty of money... But this person is naturally competitive. She refuses to take medicines given to her, and does not allow her to have surgery. There must be something seriously wrong... Think about it.

Can the doctor not check her when she comes to the hospital? She is admitted to the hospital twice a year on average. She should be able to check out any disease... Nowadays, technology is so advanced, with computers and the Internet, how can she not check it out! Maybe she can check it out!

There are other serious problems, and the hospital doesn't dare to operate on her... If she dies during the operation, won't the hospital stop pulling her pants? What does the hospital do? She has been through everything, let's spread the word to her
