Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1188 Father Qian’s Deep Intentions

The sun is scorching and the steam is rising.

In the Lishi section of Xiaozhang River, the water is crystal clear and the flow is very fast. On the south bank, willows are swaying and the green shade is like a canopy.

Under the tree, grandpa was sitting in the shade to enjoy the cool, polishing a bamboo tool with his hands. A big yellow dog was lying at his feet, and the dog looked up from time to time at the distance. At this moment, Bian Mu was practicing "treading water" in the river.

At that time, Bian Mu had just entered the first grade of junior high school. He was a good student and had excellent performance in sports. He was definitely a top student in all aspects in the town middle school. He took a group of classmates to have fun all day long.

"You still have to practice hard, kid! You will pass only when your knees are firmly above the water!" After glancing at Bian Mu casually, grandpa gave him a few scoldings in a loud voice.

"No way! Treading water above the knees?! How strong must the waist strength be!" While flapping his feet in the turbulent river, Bian Mu repeatedly focused on his waist, trying to make his upper body above the hip line emerge from the water.

What a pity! The will is there but the strength is not enough, the strength in the waist is not enough, and at the same time, the frequency of the swing of the feet and the frequency of the fine-tuning of the hip joints are not in sync.

"Otherwise I would say you are short of practice! As for people! No matter what profession you engage in in the future, you must have quite solid skills, otherwise, you will have to endure hard days day by day, and life will be very boring! Boy! You have to understand one thing, as an ordinary person, the person who can really help you at the critical moment will definitely not be more than one hand, except for your parents!" Grandpa put down the bamboo knife in his hand and gave a few warnings with a solemn expression.

"At most 5? That's too few! Life is short, and as long as you're not a bad person, you'll have more than this number of good classmates!" Bian Mu was a little tired, so he changed to backstroke and lay on the water to rest for a while.

The water was flowing fast. In order to chat with his grandfather nearby, Bian Mu had to adjust his position from time to time and always make a large oval in the direction of the water flow. Otherwise, he could only float downstream.

"Dream on! It would be good enough if there are five people who don't look down on you at critical moments. Anyone with a little bit of real ability will get two slaps at most, no more." Grandpa said very affirmatively.

"Hehe... Please let me off! I understand your painstaking efforts. No matter what I learn in the future, I must master it thoroughly, otherwise, life will be difficult!"

"Well! Having ability can only be regarded as talent, which is equivalent to walking on one leg. If you want to live a stable life, you must also accumulate virtues and be loyal to your true friends, especially those who always help you. If they ask you for something, you must do your best and not be careless!" Grandpa continued to admonish seriously.

"Know it!"

"When you grow up a little bit, you will slowly discover that when it is really your turn to help a friend, all kinds of excuses will inevitably emerge in your mind. That is human nature. At that time, you can't be timid! This is not only a flaw in character, but also a principle of how to behave in the world. When you are old in the future, you will understand how much it is worth." Grandpa earnestly admonished Bian Mu for a long time.

……

The past is like smoke, and the scene of my grandfather counseling me is still vivid in my mind...

Bian Mu missed his grandpa a little.

Qian Xiaotong was driving, Bian Mu was sitting in the passenger seat, and Qian Xiaotong's father was sitting in the back seat on the left. Since Bian Mu got in the car, except for a few polite greetings, the three of them were silent.

My good friend, some things should be kept to oneself.

It seems that Uncle Qian is in a difficult situation, otherwise, he would not have personally accompanied Bian Mu to the ward of the Provincial People's Hospital to visit the old man of the Zhong family.

Bian Mu guessed that Uncle Qian must have owed the Zhong family a big favor.

Qian Xiaotong was very familiar with the city's traffic. In rainy weather, low-lying places such as overpasses were most likely to accumulate water. While scanning the navigation prompts, Qian Xiaotong tried his best to choose a wide road.

Off-road vehicles have a high chassis and should be able to pass through most flooded sections easily.

Glancing at Qian Xiaotong from the side, Bian Mu thought, "If it weren't for this guy's great help, I would still be stuck in the county hospital now! If I hadn't made some money from Huikang later, I would never have been able to open a clinic. The clinic is a nexus between the upper and lower levels. Without him, I really wouldn't be able to make it!" This heavy favor from the Qian family must be repaid!
Along the way, Bian Mu discovered that a number of cars were trapped in the water, and in some sections of the road, a large number of workers riding electric bikes had difficulty moving forward.

"Oh! We have only just started! That will be troublesome in two days!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu couldn't help but feel secretly thankful.

……

In the basement, Qian Xiaotong parked the car.

"Dad! I won't go up, right?" Qian Xiaotong said in a low voice after looking back.

"Okay! Xiao Bian! Let's go!" Father Qian and Bian Mu were not polite at all.

"I'll open the door!" Bian Mu got out of the car first and respectfully opened the door for Qian's father. The pedal of the off-road vehicle was designed to be a bit high from the ground, so Bian Mu specifically signaled Qian's father to support his shoulders.

Father Qian smiled approvingly, then naturally held Bian Mu's shoulder and got out of the car easily.

Along the way, Father Qian walked slowly and without any sign of being in a hurry.

"Xiaotong can't be compared with you. In the future...if he really encounters some difficult problems that he can't handle, it will be you who can lend a hand!" Suddenly, Qian's father said these words in a soothing tone.

"You are serious!"

"We are family, so there is no need for empty words. You are still young, and the Zhong family has a very profound family history, so... there are some things... we have to give them face. I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I don't owe the Zhong family anything at all. In the past few years, I did have some business dealings with them, but they were all ordinary business deals where we met by chance, and we had no private dealings at all. Their family and I are not on the same business path, do you understand?" Father Qian suddenly revealed some real information to Bian Mu.

"Oh... I was ignorant. I thought that Mr. Zhong was already at the end of his life. No matter how good the doctor was, he would only be there to maintain the dignity of his family. There would be no meaning of treatment. It would be superfluous! So..."

"Haha... you did the right thing, but... the Chinese Medical Clinic is about to open, and your level will definitely be different in the future. People at different levels have to follow the etiquette of their level. Those rules... as long as you have a little bit of brains, no one will easily violate them."

"Junior understands!"

"Xiao Tong mistakenly thinks that you are repaying him a favor! Just let him live in this confusion! In the future, with you taking care of him, we will have nothing to worry about." At this point, Qian's father smiled deeply with relief.

Mr. Qian's words were sincere, and Bian Mu understood them immediately.

"Uncle, you are too kind!"

"Oh! We're already here, let's go! Ward 316 is full of distinguished guests, so be careful with your words and actions! Today's trip is a bit like a stage appearance, so talk less, don't express your opinions, and just show up!"

"Junior will keep this in mind!" As he said this, Bian Mu accompanied Qian's father towards the elevator.

……

The Zhong family is powerful, and the three and a half floors of the special care ward are filled with distinguished guests with different expressions.

"Wait a moment! I'll ask the Zhong family to come and pick you up. She should be Zhong Xiangxin's sister. They are about seven or eight years apart in age. In this kind of occasion, you have to behave yourself!" After whispering a few words, Father Qian walked through the "corridor" naturally formed by the crowd and walked into the ward steadily.
