sun and wildflowers

At the entrance of the hospital, Jiang Ming, Huang Yu, and Chen Kai stood there like door gods.

Jiang Ming was working off his cigarette addiction. Considering Chen Kai's tuberculosis, he deliberately stood a little farther away, then called Huang Yu over, and asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't the doctor give a diagnosis?"

Huang Yu gave Jiang Ming a very disgusted look, and said, "Brother Shui, can you be a little more lively here? You are usually very smart, why don't you understand the worldly things? I don't even understand asking for money, low!"

As he spoke, his fingers were still twirling around his head.

Jiang Ming didn't think about money at all, thinking that the rules of each hospital were different, so he flicked the cigarette ash down the steps and said, "Then how much money should be given to him?"

Huang Yu frowned even more when he heard Jiang Ming's words, "You don't have to worry about how much money you give, if they don't take it, who will take it?!"

But the situation of Chen Kai's family... Jiang Ming smoked the rest of the cigarette in silence, then threw it under his feet and smoked it, patted Huang Yu's shoulder and said, "Let me come, his family is poor. I'm about to sell the house, where's the money?"

Jiang Ming raised his foot and was about to walk into the hospital, but was grabbed by Huang Yu, "Brother Shui, impulsiveness is the devil, the devil!"

"How much is appropriate to give?"

Huang Yu chirped and said, "Really?"

"Hurry up! Stop moaning."

Huang Yu glanced at Chen Kai next to him, and bitterly choked out two words: "Five hundred."

"just wait."

Jiang Ming entered the outpatient building, while Huang Yu watched Chen Kai from outside.

"Boy, you should credit Police Officer Jiang today. He paid the doctor for you. You must have heard it just now. Don't forget to return the money you earn after your sentence is over."

There were tears in the boy's eyes, but they didn't flow. He turned his face away and said, "Thank you, Officer Jiang."

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ming came out with the diagnosis in his hand. He felt that the power of money is indeed inexhaustible, just like one year when he visited the Shaanxi Museum, the queue for free tickets lined up from the ticket gate to the street, while The other window next to it sells tickets for a certain exhibition hall, and the price is 10 yuan. That is to say, if you don’t want to spend money, you can sit in the row under the hot sun. It’s you for an hour or two hours. If you are willing to spend money, you can only It takes 30 yuan to enter the museum immediately with a ticket, and all exhibition halls in the museum can be visited.

That time, it was Chen Mai's ingenuity to see through the "mystery" that saved her and Jiang Ming from the trouble of queuing.

Huang Yu took the diagnosis in Jiang Ming's hand and glanced at it, and said, "Just these few pieces of paper cost five hundred, grandma, what a bear!"

Since the money was spent, Jiang Ming didn't take it seriously, he looked at his watch with a smile, and said, "It's noon, let's go to eat, the police station is probably closed by this time."

Huang Yu gestured to Jiang Ming with his eyes, "What about Chen Kai?"

At this moment, Chen Kai said, "Officer Jiang, Officer Huang, can I go home at noon? My dad is working at the construction site and won't come back. I have to cook for my mom."

Just as Huang Yu was about to make a deal, Jiang Ming snatched the words, "You go with us, I'll order two dishes for you, and you go home and eat with your mother."

"No...no need, thank you Officer Jiang."

Jiang Ming walked up to him and said, "Let's go, it's also by the way, or you have to make it now when you get home."

They randomly found a stir-fry restaurant near the hospital, Jiang Ming ordered two meat dishes for Chen Kai, after Chen Kai left, Huang Yu began to lecture Jiang Ming while drinking barley tea.

"Brother Shui, you have such a good heart, there will be times when you will suffer in the future."

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "This is the end of the matter."

"You should accumulate virtue for future generations."

Future generations?I'm afraid he won't have one in this life, Jiang Ming thought dully while eating the food.

"Huh? Brother Shui, let me introduce you to a girl."

"..."

"Really." Huang Yu took two sips of the soup bowl and said, "It's the best friend of my beautiful woman. She works in the Provincial Department of Justice. She was in Beijing before, and she just came back not long ago. His father seems to be He's a big official from the Justice Department, and he's good-looking, I've met him before, don't worry."

Jiang Ming licked his front teeth, and smiled maliciously, "How can a girl with such a good condition be willing to follow me?"

"No, no, no!", Huang Yu gesticulated with his five fingers together, and said, "My girl is not short of money at home, so I just want to find a handsome one. I think your qualifications are right, at least you are the number one among the men I know. He looks the most energetic, let me tell you, if you are single, it is a waste of resources, do you understand? I will contact you when I get back."

Huang Yu was looking forward to it talking to himself, completely ignoring Jiang Ming's eyes full of rejection.

"If you figure out that this weekend is a good day, I'll set that day, and I'll send you the girl's photo later."

Jiang Ming tapped the side of the bowl twice with his chopsticks, and finally pulled Huang Yu back from his fantasy.

"Let's forget it. The conditions in his family are so good that I can't afford to climb high."

"Brother Shui!" Huang Yu shook a spoon up and down in his hand, and said, "Did you make this yourself?"

Matching his Taiwanese accent, Jiang Ming replied, "No."

"Short-sighted! If you follow this girl, within two years you will be able to rise higher than those who have worked for ten years. We who are in official careers, who would be willing to spend their entire lives in this small prison? It was me who was talking about it, you don’t have this kind of situation at all, if you don’t believe me, just look in the mirror and you’ll know, if I look so handsome like you, what’s the matter with you?!”

Jiang Ming smiled and pushed the dish in front of him towards Huang Yu, and said, "Let's eat, let's put this matter aside for now, and we'll talk about it later."

Maybe it was because he was really hungry, Huang Yu didn't continue the topic just now, he picked up his rice bowl and started eating, Jiang Ming couldn't help but think of Lu Kun when he saw how fast he was eating.

Lu Kun ate very fast, as if he ate purely for the sake of being full, but recently he was much better, because he had to match Jiang Ming's rhythm, so he slowed down when he was with him.

After lunch, the two of them went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and they took Chen Kai to the police station in his home area at two o'clock.

It was much smoother to sign at the police station, it was all in one system, there was nothing difficult to say, Jiang Ming let Chen Kai go home after the police station finished.

And he and Huang Yu had to stay in Mucheng for one night because they were on the train tomorrow morning.

After Chen Kai left, Jiang Ming asked Huang Yu, "Did you give Chen Kai money just now?"

"Give five hundred."

Jiang Ming smiled, "He's quite a kind person, why pretend?"

I saw Huang Yu raised his head and said, "I gave it to you, good brother, let's advance and retreat together."

In the evening, Huang Yu took Jiang Ming to eat the famous barbecue in Mucheng. The two also drank a few bottles of beer, chatted with colleagues in the unit, and bragged for a while. After returning to the hotel, they directly fell asleep with their heads covered.

During the period, Lu Kun called Jiang Ming, because Huang Yu was there and it was inconvenient to talk, so he hung up after talking a few words, and Jiang Ming didn't tell Lu Kun that he would go back tomorrow.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Jiang Ming went directly from the train station to Lu Kun's shop, because he hadn't got off work at this time, so Jiang Ming couldn't see him when he went home.

Walking to the crossing next to Sihai Rent a Car, Jiang Ming saw Deng Liqiang at once. To be precise, it was Deng Liqiang and Lu Kun.

When the two of them stood together, the contrast was too strong, one was tall and handsome, and the other was short and vulgar, it was difficult for people not to notice.

Jiang Ming knew that they were talking about something, so he didn't go forward. He leaned against a car in the blind spot of their vision, and listened quietly.

It was Deng Liqiang who spoke first, and he said: "Lu Kun, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You can take all men and women. That little police officer looks fair and clean. He turned out to be a homosexual, haha!"

Lu Kun smiled lightly and said, "Really? Why don't I know?"

"Don't pretend to be here with me, Lu Kun, you sacrificed enough for your brother, do you want to share with your buddies what it's like to sleep with a man? Let me listen, is it better than sleeping with a woman?!"

Lu Kun took out a cigarette slowly from his pocket, lit it, looked at Deng Liqiang and said, "It's just a joke, I didn't take it seriously, why are you worrying so much?!"

Jiang Ming suddenly froze, his mind went blank...

Deng Liqiang: "Okay, you have the ability to transfer your brother to the ward, and let the little police officer look at you and think that I can't do anything about you, right? If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, I will publicize the two of you, of course, You don’t have to be ashamed if you don’t have a father or a mother, can’t you little police officer?”

Lu Kun took the cigarette out of his mouth, scratched his forehead, and said, "Someone needs to believe me when I say it. I, Lu Kun, have a girlfriend, and I don't lack women. Officer Jiang, heh, he is afraid of being shamed." What happened to me, and you said it, he can't blame me."

Deng Liqiang stopped talking, bit his teeth together fiercely, and his eyes were about to burst into flames as he stared at Lu Kun.

Lu Kun struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I advise you not to waste your time on these trivial matters. If you have this time, you might as well go back and hire an awesome lawyer to defend you, and strive for less compensation."

Deng Liqiang nodded his head twice in slow motion, and said: "Lu Kun, you are cruel, just wait and see, if I don't kill you, I will be in vain!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Lu Kun to put out the cigarette in his hand and go back to the store.

And Jiang Ming walked farther and farther in the opposite direction, without turning back even once.

......

Chen Mai once said: "There is no kind of emotion in this world that is reliable."

At this moment, standing in the messy bedroom, Jiang Ming felt more and more that this sentence was true.

After he came back and smoked two cigarettes, he began to pack Lu Kun's things. His hands were shaking during the whole process. In the end, he couldn't tell which belonged to Lu Kun and which... belonged to him.

As time goes by, everything they own is mixed, their clothes are worn with each other, and their daily necessities are not separated from each other. It is like two rivers coming from different directions. The river water mixes and nourishes an oasis. So the people on the shore forgot their former names, only remembering that there is only one river flowing slowly, and they firmly believe that its way back is the sea.

After tidying up his clothes, Jiang Ming sat on the bed, seeing the sealed cardboard box, his stomach suddenly turned upside down, he closed his eyes and covered his stomach with his hands, and he didn't recover for a long time.

It hurts more than ever...
