Chapter 9 The Story of Li San 1
He made an appointment to visit the cleaning uncle after work. After a tiring day, Fang Jun really didn't want to walk around anymore. He had no choice but to make an appointment in advance, so he could only drag a heavy body and walk to the intermediary office leading to hell with Yi Xueer.
The hospital is the place with the highest mortality rate. In high school, whenever a classmate is sick, other students will say that so-and-so went to the hell agency.
"Uncle, Yi Xueer and I came to see you!" With some fruit, Fang Jun led Yi Xueer to the ward where the cleaning uncle was.
"Oh! So you, hehe, I'm satisfied to see me. What else do you bring?" The cleaning uncle was lying sick** and looked very happy.
Fang Jun found two stools and Yi Xueer sat next to the cleaning uncle. "Uncle, how's your injury?"
The cleaning uncle smiled and said, "Okay! I can get out of bed and walk. I have to say that I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
"Uncle, I have learned about your situation with the doctor. Don't hold on. You are so old. Let's recuperate in the hospital for a while! Don't worry, I'm the agent for your job. Fang Jun always felt that Uncle Cleaning's smile was very sad. He seemed to have a painful past and always forced smile when facing others. Fang Jun saw a lot of such a smile, so he could see that Uncle Cleaning was not happy.
"Good boy, uncle, I'm only 50 years old this year, and I'm stiff. Can you believe what the doctor said? They just want to earn more hospitalization expenses for a few days. The cleaning uncle said.
"Uncle, eat apples." Yi Xueer peeled an apple for the cleaning uncle and handed it to the uncle's hand. "Uncle, just listen to Fang Jun. He's right. You should have a good rest."
The cleaning uncle took over the apple, and there was an indescribable warmth in his heart. My daughter was as old as she was when she left. "You are so kind. Cherish the days when we are together. You can't learn from me!"
Fang Jun and Yi Xueer obviously didn't understand what Uncle Cleaning meant. After a while, Fang Jun explained, "Uncle, you misunderstood. Yi Xueer and I are just friends. He heard that I came to see you, so he asked me to see you again with her.
"Young man, that's it." The cleaning uncle looked out of the window, and the unconcealed sadness came out. Why do you always regret it after missing it?
Fang Jun and Yi Xueer looked at each other.
"Uncle, in fact, I..." Fang Jun said something, and no one knew what he wanted to say.
"Do you like listening to stories? Let me tell you a story." In order to break the embarrassing situation, the cleaning uncle began to tell a story.
The protagonist of the story is a pathetic man named Li San.
......
Li San was born in a small mountain village. There was a famine in the village. Li San's parents gave him all the food and starved to death.
After his parents died, Li San learned to live independently. He had hands and feet and could go to the deep mountains to eat wild animals. There is a big mountain next to his village. He doesn't know the name of the mountain. He only knows that there is a lot of poison in the mountain. His father was starved to death because he was bitten by a snake and couldn't move when he went hunting in the deep mountains. Therefore, he did not dare to step into the deep mountains as a last resort.
Li San, who is only 14 years old, inherited a few acres of land left by his parents and learned from the people in the village to grow crops. The life can be supported, at least it won't starve to death. The people in the village felt a little guilty about the death of Li San's parents. If they had given some food to the Li San family at that time, the child would not have been so lonely. The people in the village thought so.
Li San's diligence is recognized by the villagers. The people in the village always take something from their own home and give it to Li San. However, Li San is a child with strong self-esteem. At the same time, he has low self-esteem about his background. He is always unwilling to have too much friendship with the people in the village.
Life is like this, and Li San has never had any other consideration. He just grows some crops to support himself as an ordinary farmer. It was not until he met the girl he liked that his life began to change gradually.
There is a girl named Xiaocao in the village. She likes Li San's diligent, simple and honest personality very much. She always deliberately approached Li San, and finally said to Li San: I want to be with you. Would you like to marry me?
That's something Li San never dreamed of. Someone actually said such a thing to him. In fact, Li San also likes Xiaocao very much, but...
He has never been able to abandon his inferiority complex. He thinks that he is not qualified to be with Xiaocao, because Xiaocao's family is so perfect, and he can't give her anything. Because of Xiaocao's affairs, Li San chose to leave. He didn't want to face his beloved silently every day, nor did he want to spend his time sadly seeing her every day. He was 19 years old the year he left, and everything changed because of this choice.
Li San is deeply loved by others because of his hard work and simple style. After working in Shenzhen for two years, he finally got money. If you can buy the money that belongs to your own house, and if you have a house and such a job, you will definitely bring her happiness. Li San thinks so. But when he saw her again, she was no longer the pure grass. She was already a woman, and even the child would call her mother.
Li San was dumbfounded. He hated himself and missed his beloved woman. So money, house, what is his struggle in the past two years? Everything seems meaningless. From that day on, he fell in love with the taste of wine.
Drinking is to soothe sorrow, but after waking up, it is even more sad. Therefore, Li San can only constantly paralyze himself. When he lives like this, his house is gone, his money is gone, and he even owes a lot of debts. Unlike two years ago, he is not only poor, but also heavily in debts. However, it was when he was so poor that the second woman in his life appeared.
Her name is Ju Hua, and it is a happy thing to meet her. Her appearance moved Li San, who paralyzed herself with alcohol all day long. She always helps Li San without regret and without any return. She will appear when Li San needs help most.
It was Juhua who awakened Li San's diligent and simple but persistent character. After getting along with each other for a long time, Li San found that he fell in love with Juhua. No, he fell in love with her. Her beauty, her everything, she is so perfect in Li San's eyes.
But when Li San confessed to her, she refused Li San. Li San didn't understand why it was like this. Only after questioning did he know the truth.
It turned out that Juhua got cancer. The doctor said that if she was not treated, she would only have a life expectancy of one year at most. Juhua didn't want her life to be so plain, so she decided to use the only time to help as many people as possible.
Li San cried. He couldn't imagine that a big man would be moved to tears for a woman's matter, but that's the truth. Looking at the woman he loved deeply in front of him, Li San was like an aggrieved child. He hated God's injustice, not to himself, but Juhua. Why can't such a kind and gentle woman continue to survive and enjoy the beauty of the world?
