who's medicine

"..." Minglang took a few deep breaths and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

He assumed various reasons, but he didn't think about it.He already knew that Kan Qi liked men, but he didn't expect to like a rough guy like himself.

"You...follow me? What are you looking for?" Ming Lang was confused.

"Uh, uh..." Kan Qi thought for a while: "I don't know."

"Aren't you fooling around!" Ming Lang thought he was just messing around.

"I can fool around with you, I'll leave the story here, do you believe it or not." Kan Qi turned his head to the side and said nothing.

Can Kan Qi not know why he likes Minglang? He just likes the unconvincing energy in Minglang. If he recognizes it, he will go all the way to the dark, resolutely obey his own moral values, even if he is weak enough to follow Like a young sapling in a violent storm, he still persisted in braving the wind and waves, never yielding to anyone for help, and would rather die tragically than live like a coward.

Kan Qi has not seen this kind of toughness for a long time, and it really makes him love and hate, but how can he say these words?

He took a sip of cold water and said, "That's the truth, just tell me what you have!"

Now that Kan Qi had opened up his words, Ming Lang didn't hide anything. He said straight up, "I think I need to make a statement. I'm not, I'm not gay, and I don't like men. You can just give up on me. Ideas, don't waste time... time on me."

Kan Qi's sincere confession was exchanged for a decisive refusal that didn't even require a thought process. He was very shocked and felt a sense of frustration from being slapped in the face. To put it bluntly, he trampled on his delicate self-esteem.

"What are you thinking about, Mingming?" Kan Qi looked upset: "I just told you that I like you. Did I ever say that I wanted to chase you? Did I ever say that I wanted to sleep with you? You are too overestimating yourself, I see There are too many people on the Internet, do you really think that you are the only (only) part of the scorpion's feces? What kind of attitude is it showing?"

Minglang was dumbfounded by what he said, then... since Kan Qi has this attitude, he is relieved, and it is not uncommon for him to keep his novelty over after a while.

"So much the better."

These few words Kanqi sounded so harsh, just like an old cadre summarizing his thoughts, he was sanctimonious and had a hint of admonition.

Minglang started the next topic: "The other thing is about my mother's illness. No matter what holidays we had before, I will thank you this time."

This sounded like a human saying, "Well, you're welcome."

"Then it's about the money..." Minglang said honestly, "Now I really can't pay you back so much money all at once. I'll write you an IOU and I will definitely pay you back within two years. Do you think it's okay?"

Qingming looked at Kan Qi sincerely, waiting for his reply.Kan Qi didn't answer him right away, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and spat it out. He mumbled for two or three minutes before opening his mouth to speak slowly.

"No."

When these two words came out of his mouth, Kan Qi noticed a gleam of gloom in Minglang's eyes, but it was only a flash.

"Then you mean..."

"Let me ask you a question too," Kan Qi raised his legs casually: "How much do you earn every month?"

"It's about 4000 to [-] in one piece during the day and night." Minglang said honestly.

"I'll count you as having five thousand, and the living expenses of your mother and son should be at least two thousand a month, right?"

"Um……"

"Now that your mother has undergone an operation, she must take cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs for a long time after she is discharged from the hospital. It costs at least 1000 yuan a month. In addition, she must be taking insulin for diabetes. The two costs alone are not a big deal. With a small amount, it can be said that you will basically have no money left every month, so what will you use to compensate me in two years?" Kan Qi opened up and explained clearly.

What Kan Qi said is right, it is really difficult to save the extra money to pay him back with Minglang's current income situation where he can't make ends meet, and even Minglang himself hasn't figured out where to get the money.

"I... if you believe me, I will..."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Why do you help me if you don't believe me?" Now it was Minglang's turn to be puzzled.

"I help you because I like you, but just because I like you doesn't mean I believe in you. There is no necessary connection between them." Kan Qi said eloquently.

Although these words sound a bit unreasonable, but after careful consideration, it seems that they are not completely unreasonable.

"Then what do you want?" Ming Lang felt that Kan Qi must have an idea.

"You've seen old Wu Zhouguan and the others," Kan Qi said, "On average, they can get at least [-] a month in salary."

Mingming and silence, with a monthly income of [-] yuan, what kind of illegal activities are you doing?

"You're curious, aren't you?" Kan Qi saw his doubts: "You can also get [-] a month."

Kan Qi's words mean... Minglang looked up at him.

"If you are willing to come to work in my company."

As expected!

"That's impossible," Minglang refused without even thinking about it: "Don't even think about me going with you to engage in those illegal activities that harm others and yourself. No matter how poor I am, I still have principles." The hallucinogenic matter is full of doubts about this person's life circle.

Kan Qi smiled evilly: "You know what I do, so you just insist that it's illegal?"

"Is not it?"

"That's right," Kan Qi admitted: "In your opinion, I do everything except good things. It's just that making money is the most important thing in your current situation, right?"

"..." He remained silent.

"As for principles..." Kan Qi said word by word: "If you don't have any money, why talk about principles? Only when you have money can principles reflect its value."

"..." Minglang still didn't speak.

Kan Qi put out the cigarette and said, "Take your mother's operation this time as an example. Do you think it's the principle that gave her a chance to be born again? No, it's the evil money." He stood up and patted the soot on his body. : "You don't need to write the IOU, think about what I said, and call me if you change your mind."

Kan Qi left after finishing speaking, leaving Ming Lang sitting on the stool in a daze.

He was powerless to refute what Kan Qi said just now, and he had to admit that what Kan Qi said... makes sense.After all, principles are just an inner measure of subjective consciousness, which can go up or down. There is no standard of measurement, but money is different.

What did I work so hard all these years for?It is for money, not for principles. This alone easily explains what Kan Qi said just now. Money can buy principles, but principles cannot be spent as money. To put it bluntly, principles cannot be used as medicine for my mother!

After that day, Minglang never contacted Kan Qi, and devoted himself to taking care of Xu Huafang in the hospital.

After four or five days, Minglang accompanied his mother to do a series of reexaminations. Dr. Kong said that if there were no major problems, he could be ready to be discharged from the hospital.Xu Huafang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words that she could be discharged from the hospital. She had been here for more than ten days and her waist was almost broken.

"Oh my god, I can finally go home." Xu Huafang felt relieved.

"Did you hear what Dr. Kong said?" Ming Lang asked like asking a child.

"I heard it," Xu Huafang repeated: "The diet should avoid meat and spicy food, and focus on light food. Don't eat fat offal, eat more vegetables and fruits, take medicine on time, go to bed early and get up early, and don't overwork yourself."

"It's good to know."

"Then after I'm discharged from the hospital, can I still help Uncle Liu's house wear meat skewers? And stick paper boxes for Aunt Chen?"

"Of course not."

"God," Xu Huafang exclaimed, "then how can I survive? Are you going to kill me?"

Minglang thought for a while: "Then you can...do some cross-stitching to pass the time."

"That thing is more tiring than me wearing meat skewers, don't hurt me." Xu Huafang didn't have the slightest interest in that thing.

"Let's talk about it after you go home and cultivate for a while."

Xu Huafang suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I forgot to ask you, Xiaobing gave you a few days off? Why hasn't he called you to urge you for ten days?"

"He said let me focus on you. You can go to work in the store after you are discharged from the hospital."

"Oh..." Xu Huafang nodded: "Xiao Bing is really a good boy with a human touch, you have to work hard with him."

"Ok, I know……"

Minglang roughly summed it up, not counting the expenses of my mother’s postoperative periodical checkups, the cost of drugs for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular maintenance alone increased by more than 1000 yuan per month, and my mother’s diabetic insulin injections every month About five thousand, plus living expenses, that is to say, an income of at least five thousand a month can barely meet the next expenses.

What made him feel the most pressure was... How will Kan Qi repay the money?In fact, even if Kan Qi didn't say anything, he questioned whether he could really pay off the money within two years. He felt that he owed Kan Qi a favor, which was the most unacceptable thing for him.

What Lian Yeyu was talking about in the house leak was his current living conditions, right?

In the evening, Kan Qi invited a few people to play mahjong outside. He was in a good mood these days, because the mine was basically implemented and construction could start next month.

Yang Xiaohuan complained: "Fuck Zhou Guan, will you know how to play? I demolished [-] or [-] and you pay [-], adding trouble, right?"

Zhou Guan laughed with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Nonsense, I'll give you whatever you want, and I'm not your horse."

Yang Xiaohuan dawdled for a long time, hit Zhang Xiaoji, and muttered: "Brother Qi, this is your favorite!"

Kan Qi snorted, pushed down the tiles, played nine of a kind of kong, and took the second of a kind on the kong, "Then I have to laugh and accept my brother, sorry, touch the chick, mix a big pair of the same color and get a flower on the kong!"

"what?!"

Yang Xiaohuan and Zhou Guan were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Jue Zhang Xiaoji to cause such a disaster!

Just when Kan Qi was complacent, Lao Wu showed his cards calmly, "I'm also embarrassed, Brother Qi, grab nine bars."

"What?!" Cai was so happy that in less than five seconds, he was poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, or was he grabbing the bar? !Kan Qi's eyes widened, and his face was as ugly as if he had fallen into a cesspit in an instant. He cursed: "Take the bar...Old Wu, you are too fucking unqualified."

Lao Wu didn't take it seriously: "Brother Qi, I'm saving myself! Isn't that right, buddy?" He looked at Zhou Guan and Yang Xiaohuan.

"It's wise, brother!" Yang Xiaohuan gave a thumbs up, if it really made Brother Qi confused, this card would be worth a few thousand dollars.

"Thank you so much." Zhou Guan clasped his fists together to express his gratitude: Tomorrow morning, Xijiang Restaurant will treat you to the most luxurious cross-bridge rice noodles!

Kan Qi threw the money to Lao Wu angrily, cursing: "Damn it, I have lost all my money to you guys these days, and you are almost catching up with the poverty alleviation director!"

"How can we speed up the regeneration of blood if we don't put some blood?" Yang Xiaohuan said eloquently.

Kan Qi said bitterly: "Why are you flies all around me, searching for oil and water on me all day long?"

Yang Xiaohuan picked his nose: "Hey... If Brother Qi thinks that he is surrounded by flies, have you ever thought that you are actually a piece of shit?"

Immediately, the whole room was filled with laughter from several people except Kan Qi. Kan Qi was really killed by Yang Xiaohuan's eloquence. Just as he got up to clean him up, his phone rang.

This number is not in his address book, but he remembers it very clearly because he is so rare about this number.

He cleared his throat and picked up the phone: "Hello?"

Yang Xiaohuan murmured: "Oh hey! Brother Qi, who is answering the phone, and you have to open your voice first?"

When Minglang heard Kan Qi's laughter, he thought that this person must be having a good time again, so he said, "Is it convenient to talk?"

"Uh..." Kan Qi glanced at the lunatics in front of him and said, "Wait a minute." Then he turned and walked out.

"Oh... What's wrong with Brother Qi today, you actually want to answer the phone behind our backs? Who is it!" Yang Xiaohuan took the lead in booing, completely unaware of who the other party was.

"Brother Qi can't afford to lose, can he?" Lao Wu shouted recklessly, "Do you want to pretend to answer the phone and jump over the wall?"

Kan Qi, who had already walked to the door, covered the receiver and turned his head with a murderous look: Shut up, you guys!

After seeing the silent warning from the eldest brother, the comprehensible younger brothers immediately stopped talking, and then looked at each other, revealing a question in unanimous agreement in their eyes: Who is it that made Qi Ge so cautious and even regarded it as a treasure?

Kan Qi walked outside to a relatively quiet place and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Where are you?" Ming Lang asked.

Kan Qi heard that he was coming to find him?

"Play mahjong at Lishui Tea House."

"The one on Ji'an Street?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'm nearby, you wait for me at the door for a few minutes, I'll be there soon."

"okay."

Kan Qi didn't ask what Minglang was doing here, but he could probably guess seven or eight points that he would take the initiative to come to him, probably because of medical expenses...

Kan Qi went across the road to buy a cup of milk tea, and waited for him while drinking. In less than 10 minutes, Mingming arrived.Judging by the way he got off the motorcycle in a busy and dusty way, he couldn't be running a takeaway, right?Kan Qi looked up and saw that there were indeed a lot of things on the back seat of the motorcycle.He's too... racing against time, right?

"Why are you delivering food again?"

"I've always been giving it away." Minglang didn't think there was any problem.

Kan Qi didn't say much, and asked, "What do you need from me?"

Minglang put away the smile just now, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his cheeks flushed by the cold wind, he rubbed his nose, and said, "I have seriously thought about what you said that day."

When Kan Qi heard that Ming Lang actually came to tell him about this, he was very happy, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface, "Then what do you think?"

"Perhaps... people should really go with the crowd," Ming Lang smiled helplessly: "Only if you can survive can you be qualified to take the exam and consider other things."

Kan Qi understands that the "other things" he mentioned refers to the "principle" he has been emphasizing that day.

"and then?"

Minglang took a deep breath, and swallowed the words several times before reaching the edge of his mouth, hesitant to speak, it was obvious that he was really having a hard time saying it, but Kan Qi wanted him to say it himself.

"I... I... would like to work in your company."

The author has something to say:

Under the pressure of livelihood, Minglang still made the most awkward decision for him... The reality is like this, no money, no bottom line, what is the bottom line?People who are not short of money are playing high-end, hahaha~
