Chapter 58
A few days later, Liang Shu received a complaint. After the complaint was accepted, Liang Shu was called to interview him. In the end, although he did not lose the job, his performance salary was deducted. He also missed the outstanding employees in the year-end assessment this year. .
Liang Shu made up his mind to research, so he read books for the first time after get off work, and worked hard.
When he was in school, he was not a person who loved learning. He forced himself to study for the dream of being a pilot. After leaving the campus, he never touched a book. After working for so many years, his head is still empty. dizziness.
He felt that the most painful thing in the world was being forced to study and wanted to give up every day. However, whenever he lay on the desk and wanted to be lazy, Yu Ling, who was drawing manga beside him, would knock him on the head unceremoniously.
During the period of preparing for the exam, the relationship between Liang Shu and his family has also eased. He still transfers money to his mother every month as before, but Duan Huijuan will not return all the money he transferred as before.
Duan Huijuan began to ask about his life and work, cared about the weather there, and worried about whether he could take care of himself, but Liang Shu didn't feel any disturbance in his heart. I used to be so eager, but my heart is still useful.
Duan Huijuan also told him that her younger brother Liang Lin was recommended to a top domestic university in Liangshu's city by virtue of his excellent competition results.
Although Liang Shu and his younger brother were not very close, he was still sincerely happy for him, and immediately sent him a big red envelope.
Under Yu Ling's supervision, Liang Shu successfully passed the civil aviation senior post qualification examination, participated in the adult college entrance examination to improve his education, and did the best he could do.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but it will not always go forward according to the ideal track.
After obtaining the civil aviation senior post qualification certificate, Liang Shu was not promoted to the management post.
Knowing this result, he was not too discouraged, blaming the reason for his own lack of ability and the need for self-improvement.
But later, Sister Lin quietly told him that the ground crew who competed with him for the management post at the same time had someone in his family who worked in the Civil Aviation Administration, and after saying hello to the director in charge, he was successfully promoted.
In a society of human affection, this kind of black box operation is acquiesced by everyone, and Liang Shu also felt aggrieved by it, but in the end it couldn't change anything.
Sister Lin comforted him that he still had a chance next time, Liang Shu could only smile and said, then wait a little longer.
Not all hard work leads to good results, and he has long understood that.
Liang Shu was on vacation, and Yu Ling was not at home, so he drove Lingling to the pet shop he often went to for a haircut by himself.
Summer is coming.
He put the puppy in the passenger seat and tied it with a rope. The puppy sat in the seat dishonestly, paws on the window to watch the scenery.
This pet store happened to be near Liang Lin's university.Liang Shu didn't know that Liang Lin went to school here before, and every time he came here, he would go straight to the pet shop, and he didn't go shopping around much. Today, after cutting the puppy, he ate a meal at the commercial street next to the school.
Sitting at the open-air dining table outside the store, he felt very fresh looking at the plants and trees in the fence of the opposite school, and even the pedestrians outside the school were full of the unique noble temperament of a prestigious school.
After looking at it for a while, my eyes moved to the nearby coffee shop and passed over the waiter.
After a while, his eyes drifted back and fixed on the waiter.
The waiter was a very young boy, probably a part-time college student, tall and thin, wearing a coffee shop apron, bending over to clear the coffee cups and plates on the table under a huge pink parasol.
Liang Shu caught a glimpse of his profile just now.
The side face of a young man is three points similar to Liang Shu.
It's Liang Lin.
Even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Liang Shu could still recognize him as his younger brother at a glance.
But why does he work in a coffee shop?
Short of money?
Liang Shu got up and walked over, calling his name.
"Liang Lin."
The boy stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Liang Shu.
Liang Shu remembered that Liang Lin should have just turned 18 this year, and he had lost his youthful appearance. He didn't know when he started to twitch, and he was even taller than him.
It's just that the whole person looks a little gloomy.
Liang Lin has a dull and lonely personality, not very talkative. When he was at home, he was bored in the room all day long, not going anywhere.
Liang Shu couldn't figure out why he would come out to work part-time if it wasn't for lack of money.
It's not always about experiencing life.
"It's a coincidence." Liang Shu looked at him and continued.
Liang Lin didn't seem to react, his expression was dull, he paused, and then he reluctantly called out "Brother".
"Why do you work here?"
"No money." Liang Lin shrugged.
"No money? Liang Laijin won't give you money?"
Liang Laijin runs a small business in his hometown county. Although their family is not a wealthy family, they do not have to worry about food and clothing, and they will never lose their money.
"Do you have anything to do?" Liang Lin looked gloomy and didn't want to say more, "Let's go if you have nothing to do, I still have to work."
"Long time no see, let's have a chat," Liang Shu said, "Go ask the boss for a vacation, and I'll give you today's salary."
"No." Liang Lin was quite stubborn, as if he was angry.
But he finally took off his apron and followed Liang Shu.
He saw Liang Shu holding a freshly sheared native dog in his arms: "Why is this dog so ugly?"
The puppy seemed to understand, and bared its teeth viciously at him.
"You're ugly." Liang Shu patted the puppy's head, "Our bell is the prettiest."
"How do you raise a native dog? You don't even raise a better breed."
"My pleasure."
Walking to a BMW 7 Series parked by the side of the road, Liang Shu pressed the key to get off the car.
"You still bought a car?" Liang Lin finally had clear emotions in his eyes, showing a bit of surprise.With Liang Shu's financial strength, he definitely couldn't afford this car.
"My boyfriend's."
"It's quite rich." Liang Lin had a half-smile.
Liang Shu heard the sarcasm in his tone, and frowned: "You are rich, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's fine." Liang Lin restrained his expression, and asked lightly, "Did you know about Mom's illness?"
"what?"
Liang Shu was stunned.
Three months ago, Duan Huijuan was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the Provincial Hospital.
Doctors from the provincial capital hospital advised them to go to a big city for further examinations to determine a treatment plan.
But Liang Laijin had no money, so Duan Huijuan was asked to stay in the provincial capital for conservative treatment.
He lost almost all of his family fortune accumulated in business over the years, so that when he was in urgent need of money for medical treatment, he realized that he couldn't afford much at all, and he usually made friends with friends who were stalking and drinking, and he didn't even have a way to borrow money. .
If Liang Lin hadn't told him, Liang Shu would never have known that his family's financial situation had reached the point where it was difficult for him.
Even Liang Lin's living expenses are earned by himself from part-time jobs.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liang Shu said in a daze, "Mom didn't tell me either..."
Liang Lin's tone was sharp: "Is it useful to tell you? Didn't you cut off ties with the family long ago? Just take care of yourself."
That night, Liang Shu called Duan Huijuan, and when he heard the woman on the phone sobbing cautiously and subduedly, he felt very uncomfortable in every possible way.
A malicious thought welled up in his heart, why wasn't Liang Laijin the one who got sick?
He could never reconcile with Liang Laijin, but he couldn't ignore Duan Huijuan's life or death.
This phone call lasted for a full hour, and he finally said: "Mom, there is an affiliated hospital in Lianglin School, which is the best cancer hospital in the country. I have saved money in the past few years, which is enough to treat your illness. You, you guys Come here, just have an operation, and it will definitely be cured."
Liang Shu took a week off.
He booked two air tickets to come here from his hometown. In fact, he only wanted to book Duan Huijuan alone, but it was Duan Huijuan's first time flying, so Liang Shu couldn't worry about her coming alone.
He went to the airport to pick him up, Liang Laijin didn't give him a good face when he saw him, probably because Duan Huijuan was sick, and he didn't lose his temper with him like before, but only ridiculed him from time to time.
Seeing the uniformed ground staff greeting Liang Shu, after they left, he showed disdain: "That's all you do? You can be a ground staff at the airport, nodding and bowing to people all day, what can you do?"
"I'm worthless, and I won't lose tens of thousands of dollars when my wife sees a doctor." Liang Shu walked in front without even looking at him.
Walking out of the airport, Liang Laijin proposed to find a place to live.
"Just find an express hotel." Duan Huijuan said.
Liang Shu shook his head: "I booked a hotel."
The hotel booked for them was near the hospital, and the price was frighteningly expensive.
Liang Laijin was still dissatisfied: "I heard your mother say that you live in a big house in the urban area now, you are a white-eyed wolf, and you forget your parents when you have money."
"Hey, that's the house he rented with someone else, we weren't suitable in the past." Duan Huijuan said hastily.
Liang Laijin snorted coldly, "Others, who? I don't know what kind of man can have sex with you, it's sick!"
"I can have sex with whomever I like, any kind of man," Liang Shu sneered, "Anyway, I don't know how many times stronger than you."
"Look at what you're talking about! Isn't it all because of you that your mother is sick?"
"Am I angry?" Liang Shu laughed angrily.
Seeing Duan Huijuan's torn face made me feel sad again.
No matter how many wrong things Liang Laijin did, Duan Huijuan still didn't have the courage to divorce him.
And I, just because I like men, seem to be unforgivable.
Sometimes Liang Shu felt that Duan Huijuan was pitiful.
myself too.
Yu Ling called Liang Shu before getting on the plane.He was on the night shift yesterday, and he should have just woken up not long ago.
However, no one answered the phone until it hung up automatically.
He didn't receive Liang Shu's message until he got off the plane.
【Have you got off the plane yet?I didn't see it just now. 】
Yu Ling called the phone again, and it was picked up quickly.
"Yu Ling, have you gone home?" Liang Shu deliberately lowered his voice, not knowing what he was doing.
"Just got off the plane."
"Okay, then be careful on the road, I'm not at home now."
"Where are you?"
Liang Shu lowered his voice: "My mother came over two days ago, and I'm with her now."
Yu Ling said "Oh": "She came to see you specifically?"
"No, I came to see a doctor."
Yu Ling paused, "Auntie herself?"
There was silence on the phone.
"And my dad."
Liang Shu didn't want to have anything to do with Liang Laijin, but damn blood.
"Which hospital?" Yu Ling asked.
"Why do you ask this? Don't say you're coming, it's completely unnecessary!" Liang Shu said in a panic, "I'll be going home right away! I'll tell you when I get home!"
Then hastily hung up the phone.
Liang Shu didn't come home until after nine o'clock in the evening. There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and Yu Ling was taking a bath.
He walked to the sofa and saw an empty dog cage in the corner of the living room. He suddenly remembered that he was too busy these days and had no time to take care of Lingling, so he left Lingling in a pet shop, but he forgot to talk to Yu Ling. explain.
The glass door of the bathroom opened, and Yu Ling came out wrapped in a towel.
"Back?" He glanced at Liang Shu with a cold expression.
"Ah."
Liang Shu stepped forward and raised his arms to hug Yu Ling, but thinking that he had just returned from the hospital, he had no choice but to resist the urge to hug him.
He had a lot to say to Yu Ling, but he didn't know where to start.
"I came back just after the doctor's rounds."
Yu Ling nodded calmly, and asked while wiping his hair with a bath towel, "When did Auntie come here?"
"Just two days ago..." Seeing Yu Ling's complexion was not very good, Liang Shu turned his words again, "Uh...it seems like a week ago."
Then Liang Shu began to explain:
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I didn't tell you because I told you before that I don't have a good relationship with my family. I'm afraid that the quarrel will get worse in front of you."
"My mother just had the operation the day before yesterday, and it was quite successful. Let's see how the follow-up recovery is going. If it's good, she can be discharged from the hospital in two days."
"Oh, by the way, there is also Lingling. I sent it to the pet store, and I will pick it up in two days."
After Liang Shu finished speaking in a breath, he thought about it again, as if he had finished explaining everything that should be explained.
Liang Shu can digest a lot of negative emotions alone.
Most of the time, he is not interested in listening to others, and he doesn't like to tell others about himself like pouring beans.
He's used to making his own decisions, but looking back, those decisions always seem to be wrong.
He knew that this was a late remedy, no matter what, Yu Ling would definitely be angry.
But Yu Ling just said calmly: "Understood."
"You, aren't you angry?"
"Why am I angry?" Yu Ling asked back.
His voice was lazy: "This is your own business, it has nothing to do with me."
"I didn't think so!" Liang Shu hurriedly said, "It's because you were out of town at that time. It's useless for me to tell you, it will only make you worry."
"And there are too many things these days, I forgot that you came back today..."
"Where do his parents live?" Yu Ling asked again.
"I booked a hotel near the hospital."
Yu Ling frowned, "How much is the surgery fee, do you still have any money?"
Liang Shu said a number, "The medical insurance should be able to claim part of it, and I still have a little bit."
"How long are they going to be here?"
"...I don't know yet," this Liang Shu couldn't say, "It depends on the recovery."
"Do you want to take them over?" Yu Ling asked.
The hospital is also quite close, less than three kilometers away.
The apartment size of this house is four bedrooms and two living rooms, and there are several vacant rooms.
Liang Shu was stunned for a moment, "It's over."
He never thought of letting his parents come and live.
This is not his house, he can't be the master.
He always believed that he was not the master of this place, and this territory did not belong to him.
Only Yu Ling has the right to arrange everything here.
"I don't mind." Yu Ling said.
"No need, it's too troublesome." Liang Shu hesitated.
After a few seconds of silence, Yu Ling turned around and went to the study, leaving a sentence:
"up to you."
