Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 1
"Gangzi, I can't help it either. My dad said that we are going to get married, and the 30 dowry gift must not be less. Wuwuwu, what should we do?"

Looking at his girlfriend Xu Meichun who was crying in front of him, Zhao Gang felt sour.

He and Meichun were childhood sweethearts and grew up in the same village near the suburbs.Later, they worked together again, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Seeing the age of marriage, Mei Chun's parents have been refusing to give in on the matter of dowry.

Zhao Gang's father was diagnosed with liver cancer a few years ago, and spent a lot of money to treat his father.

Although his illness was under control, his father was severely injured, and all the burdens of the family fell on his mother, making life increasingly difficult.

The bride price of 30 is like an astronomical figure for the Zhao family.

In order to earn more, he delivered express delivery during the day, and after work at night, he went to help at the night market barbecue restaurant.Every day I wear the stars and the moon, overdrafting my body.I thought that if I worked diligently and worked hard like a scalper, I should be able to save enough in two or three years.

Unexpectedly, Mei Chun's family can't wait for two or three years, so they must force him to take out the money now.

"Mei Chun, I see, I'll think of a way. Come on, take it, this jujube rice cake is your favorite. I saw that it was sold on the road, so I bought one for you. It's getting late, I'm going to the night market."

Putting the warm jujube rice cake in Mei Chun's hand, he turned to leave.It's getting late, and the barbecue shop is about to start work.

"Gangzi, wait."

Mei Chun stopped him, and as if she had made up her mind, she took out a silk bag from her bosom, handed it to him and said:

"My dad said let me give you this back."

Zhao Gang looked at her in disbelief:
"Mei Chun, what do you mean?"

He recognized that what was contained in this silk bag was a dzi bead that he gave to Mei Chun on her birthday.

"Why did you return this Dzi Bead to me? Mei Chun, you have to tell me clearly that you want to break up with me?"

"No, Gangzi, don't get me wrong!" Mei Chun waved her hands anxiously: "It's not what I meant, it's... my dad insisted that I return it to you."

As Mei Chun talked, her eyes turned red and she shed tears again.

"My dad... my dad said that if he can't come up with a bride price, he will ask my aunt to take me back to my hometown for a blind date."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang asked angrily:
"What? They want to take you on a blind date?! Mei Chun, let me ask you, what do you think? Are you still willing to be with me?"

"Gangzi, you know me. I only have you in my heart. But I have no choice. Let me tell you the truth. My brother took his girlfriend home two days ago. My parents expected me to take the gift money. To marry my brother a daughter-in-law.

"My father said that if my younger brother can't marry a wife because of my gift money, then I will be an unfilial daughter of the Xu family. Gangzi, I can't help it. I can't be an unfilial daughter."

After Zhao Gang heard her words, a deep sense of powerlessness crept into his heart.His girlfriend, Mei Chun, is gentle, kind, hardworking, and simple, and all the words to praise women can be used on her.

However, what he was most afraid of was Mei Chun saying a few words.

One sentence is: "My dad said...";
Another sentence is: "I can't help it."

He smiled helplessly, and said to her: "Okay, I will find a solution as soon as possible about the money. Since you are willing to be with me in your heart, you should take this bead first, and don't rush to return it." I……"

But before he finished speaking, Mei Chun interrupted him:
"No, I can't take this bead, my dad said..."

Hearing these four words, Zhao Gang was no longer interested in listening to her continue.He knew that Mei Chun was stubborn and always took her parents' words as an imperial edict.

Forget it, grab the compact 30 to solve the immediate problem.

Immediately waved his hand and said to Mei Chun: "Okay, then I'll take this bead first. I have to go, take care of yourself. Eat the millet cake while it's hot."

"Okay. Regarding the bride price, you should find a solution as soon as possible."

Zhao Gang took a few steps forward and heard his girlfriend ordering from behind.

He shook his head helplessly.

Find a way as soon as possible?If there was a way, he would have done it a long time ago and waited until today.

He was walking on the road with a lot of thoughts, but he didn't notice that a car rushed out suddenly when turning a corner.When he realized it was too late, he was knocked out, his shoulders landed on the ground, and his forehead was falling on the dzi bead.

He only felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his shoulder, but what was more uncomfortable than the pain in his shoulder was the severe burning pain in his forehead.This kind of severe pain is almost beyond the limit of human physiology.

I passed out from the pain.

When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

In a daze, he heard a few people talking beside him.

"Why, bed 32 hasn't woken up yet?"

"Not yet." A young voice recalled, "According to the driving recorder video provided by the owner of the accident, he landed on his shoulder at the time, which should not cause brain damage. We did a brain CT for him, and A minor concussion has been ruled out. He should wake up soon."

Probably, it was the chief physician doing routine rounds.

"Well, pay attention to observation. By the way, is the patient's temperature normal?"

"Normal. Every once in a while last night, the night shift nurse took his temperature, and everything was normal."

There is a reason why the chief physician paid special attention to Zhao Gang's body temperature.

Last night, after Zhao Gang was sent to the hospital in a coma, the emergency department did a detailed examination for him.The strange thing is that the patient's forehead has been very hot. The nurse has taken his temperature many times, and it is normal.

But the patient's forehead was extremely hot.Moreover, the forehead is smooth and smooth, without any symptoms of redness, swelling and damage.

This is so inconsistent with medical common sense!As a chief physician who has practiced medicine for many years, I have never seen such a case.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to try Zhao Gang's forehead again.

It is no longer hot.

Looking again, the patient has opened his eyes and is gradually waking up.

"Young man, are you awake? How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

"I feel dizzy, and my shoulder hurts."

"Your condition is not serious. Since you wake up and don't have a fever, you're fine. You have some bruises on your shoulders and a slight muscle strain on your arm. Rest well and don't do strenuous exercise recently, especially your shoulders and arms .”

"If you are engaged in physical work, I suggest you take a leave of absence for a few days, and go to work after recovering from your injuries." The chief physician took a look at him. He was wearing the uniform of a certain express company, and offered considerate suggestions.
