Chapter 39 third quarter

At six o'clock in the morning, the shriek of the ambulance echoed over the family area of ​​the Textile Group Company. The piercing neigh stirred the cold air and brought unprecedented pressure to Lu Siyu, who was doing radio gymnastics on the balcony. On the eve of the Spring Festival, three people from the textile group company were taken away by ambulances one after another, and they never came back.One of them is in his sixties and has just retired for less than a month; the other two have not yet passed their fortieth birthday, and they are middle-level cadres in the prime of life of the company.They are said to have all died of heart attacks.Late one night after the memorial service for the third deceased, Lu Siyu suddenly felt unwell. Accompanied by severe chest pain, he also developed symptoms such as dyspnea and tachycardia.Seeing this, his wife Ma Yongqin was terrified, thinking that he also had a heart attack.Ma Yongqin wanted to call 120 for an ambulance, but Lu Siyu insisted on refusing, not even calling the special car assigned to him by the company.He was taken to the hospital by a taxi supported by Ma Yongqin.

That night, although the chest pain hit like an awl, Lu Siyu's consciousness was very clear. He didn't want to make an earth-shattering event and let everyone in the company know that he was sick, and of course he didn't want to go in an ambulance without returning.Ma Yongqin complained to him, saying that his life was almost gone and he kept thinking about that official hat. What does it matter if he is a big official or not?At that time, Lu Siyu couldn't speak, but secretly reprimanded his wife in his heart, what do women know?Regardless of the size of the position, it is the pursuit of men.Think about the previous few.Did they really die of heart disease?One has just retired and left the leadership position, and the other two have mediocre results in the year-end assessment, mainly because the shutdown of the woolen mill was affected, and they should step aside when the company's leadership team changes.Do you know what is lost?Like their situation.It's just that their reaction was a little too extreme... Of course Ma Yongqin didn't understand what Lu Siyu was thinking. She was rambling, but she also had other thoughts in her heart: she didn't want her man to have any accidents, no matter in terms of body or career.

Strangely, when Lu Siyu and his wife stumbled to the hospital, Lu Siyu's chest pain disappeared.According to the doctor's diagnosis, he did not have heart disease.But the doctor couldn't say anything else.A few days later, Lu Siyu privately went to several other hospitals for a comprehensive and detailed physical examination, and it was true that no heart disease was found, so he was relieved.Later, he read an article in a health magazine, saying that a disease called "panic disorder" had been confirmed abroad. The symptoms were similar to heart disease. As for the cause, it was most likely caused by excessive mental stress.Do you also have "panic disorder"?For the sake of prudence, he still decided to take a good rest and let himself relax completely.For this reason, Lu Siyu has not gone to work in the company for a while.After the seven-day long holiday for the Spring Festival, he hid at home on the pretext of going to the city for a meeting, and temporarily handed over the company's affairs to a deputy manager.At this time, the city is indeed holding a meeting on the expansion of the cultural square and the renovation of several artificial scenic spots. This is an image project just launched by the leadership of the new municipal government. It is nothing more than making the Gobi Desert more concrete.The costs required for the project are paid by the enterprises in the city as usual.As a generous investor representing the Textile Group Company, Lu Siyu only needs to visit the municipal government conference hall once in a while.

Recently, although Lu Siyu, who was recuperating at home, consciously wanted to relax himself, his "panic disorder" not only did not disappear, but seemed to be getting worse.He was always restless for no reason.This restlessness has affected his normal life. For example, he doesn't want to see strangers, he doesn't want to hear the scream of an ambulance, and even the sound of the telephone and TV at home can make him restless.And it seems that all this should not just be attributed to the psychological burden brought by the death of three colleagues in the company.In fact, Lu Siyu knew why.He often thinks of the blind woman who haunts Sand City, and the more he wants to forget, the more clearly he can think of her—it seems that this is the real cause of her that he can't get rid of and can't say.The mysterious veil of the blind woman and the series of chirping and gurgling voices that seemed to be choked by someone seemed to have a certain deterrent effect, often making Lu Siyu fall into nightmares all night long.

When will the man in destiny appear?How should I judge myself?Day after day, these days made Lu Siyu frightened and confused... At this moment, the ambulance has already left the family area. Lu Siyu stood on the balcony while absent-mindedly doing morning exercises while thinking about something on his mind.After finishing a set of radio exercises, he started to practice Tai Chi again.He is new to Taijiquan, and he is still very immature in every move.He compared painting for a while and paused for a while, but he looked more and more old. At this time Ma Yongqin was making breakfast.Steam was gurgling from the kitchen, and a strange smell filled the house and wafted out onto the balcony.Lu Siyu knew that his wife was making soup for him again.Ever since he felt unwell and mentally ill, his wife made soup for him every day.I don't know where Ma Yongqin collected the medicinal recipes, and he tinkered with them every day, such as antler pigeon soup, yam lamb chop soup, longan lotus seed soup, Tianma black chicken soup and so on.He drank, and his wife drank too. Both of their waists swelled up like blowing up balloons, showing their abundance.

After a while, Ma Yongqin shouted through the glass door of the balcony, Lao Lu, it's time for breakfast! Lu Siyu stopped the last move, swung his arms a few times, and swayed into the restaurant. The porcelain bowl on the dining table contained a viscous milky white soup, and a fat white hen was soaked in the soup.Lu Siyu took a look, frowned and said, "Take it away, pour it out!" Ma Yongqin said: "It's strange, don't you like to drink angelica and astragalus hen soup?" "I told you earlier, I will never drink any messy soup again, especially don't mention chicken in front of me, chicken!"

"You old bastard, there is nothing but chicken soup at home this morning. You can drink the northwest wind from now on, I don't even bother to wait for you!" "Hurry up, hurry up!" Lu Siyu waved to his wife impatiently. Ma Yongqin took the chicken soup away.Lu Siyu returned to the balcony, staring in a daze at a pot of crab claw orchids that had just started to fail. At about ten o'clock, the doorbell rang suddenly, a little hastily. Lu Siyu walked through the living room, opened the peephole on the anti-theft door, and saw a strange man standing outside the door.He asked through the security door, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for manager Lu Siyu. I'm the attorney representing Mrs. Lu, and here are my documents." Luo Yang held up the relevant documents to the peephole on the anti-theft door. Lu Siyu opened his eyes for a long while, secretly angry at the old mother's out of nothing noise, and wanted to send away the stranger in front of him, but suddenly remembered the man who would appear in the spring mentioned by the blind woman.So, he opened the anti-theft door and said enthusiastically: "Welcome! Welcome!" Full of doubts but full of hope, he let Luo Yang in. Luo Yang entered the living room and looked around. There is a gorgeous TV wall, the wall next to the balcony is a window, and the other two walls are full of various calligraphy and painting works, as if a painting and calligraphy exhibition is about to be held.Luo Yang looked at a painting of "Peony of Wealth and Nobility" about two meters long.

Ma Yongqin came out from the kitchen with a tea tray, in which was a pot of freshly brewed Tieguanyin and two teacups. "Put it in the study, it's easy to talk in the study." Lu Siyu said to his wife, and let Luo Yang into the study. Luo Yang followed Lu Siyu into another room.The study room is quite the size of a study room. There are bookshelves on three walls, all of which are brand-new books of various kinds, which can be roughly divided into three categories. The other is Marxist-Leninist writings, Western philosophy, and marketing; the others are collections of poetry, famous and not-so-famous collections of poetry.

Luo Yang sat on the large brown-red leather sofa and briefly explained his purpose of coming. "My mother has always been used to being nosy. She used to live at home, and when guests came to her, she rushed to answer the phone. What's even more absurd was that she followed me, as if she were the police and I was the spy. It made me unable to work, so I had to send her to the hospital. She said she had rheumatism, gastritis, and gallstones. work, and also serves as the chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Chairman of the Literature Lovers Association in the company's employee activity center. You also know that the textile industry has been in a downturn for the past few years. I have such a heavy burden on my shoulders. How can I go to the hospital to accompany her every day?..." Lu Siyu blushed and talked roughly about his entanglement with his mother.When he mentioned his mother, he couldn't help but get agitated, and when he got agitated, he blushed.

"I know about these situations. It is because your mother's statement is different from what I learned in the hospital, and the relevant laws only stipulate the children's material support for the elderly. As for visits—that is, spiritual support, there is no clear definition. The letter of the law, so I decided to mediate for you, and it would be best to persuade your mother not to sue." "It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to decide on family affairs. You are indeed an expert if you can make such a wise decision. I admire educated people the most. Your lawyers are social elites. Now we must strengthen the social legal process and regulate the market economy. Your work is indispensable. It works! I am very happy to meet you today! We can be friends in the future, and this is my business card." Luo Yang took the business card and handed over one of his own. "I think the real purpose of your mother's lawsuit is to hope that her children will value her and her existence. I heard that you have a younger sister? You brothers and sisters can take turns to visit the elderly in the hospital every week. It doesn't take a lot of time. It shouldn't be a problem, right? "Royan said.He felt that since he was here, he should continue the discussion and give Mrs. Lu a satisfactory answer. "No, no, I can't go to the hospital once a week! In addition to work, I also read and write. You see, I have to sort out my poems and prepare a collection of poems, all on weekends. If I don’t even have weekend time to catch up with the company. Time doesn’t wait for me! As for my sister, it’s not a matter of time. She doesn’t want to see the elderly at all. According to my sister, she said that my mother is really sick—crazy. Send her to a mental hospital. Think about it, my brother-in-law also works in the hospital, and the old lady spread rumors about her brother-in-law while she was in the hospital, causing the younger sister and brother-in-law to fight twice for three days and almost divorced!" "That old thing scares us, we don't want to see her." Ma Yongqin, who came in to deliver the fruit plate, heard their conversation and interjected.Luo Yang turned his head and saw that the hostess was a fat woman with freckles.Her freckles are dark and dense, and from a distance they are connected together, like age spots or butterfly spots. "Do your business, there is no place for you to talk here!" Lu Siyu glared at his wife. Ma Yongqin didn't say anything, just snorted softly, expressing her dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law or Lu Siyu, then walked away with her round buttocks twisted. Luo Yang's eyes returned to the bookshelf opposite.He suddenly discovered that there was a book among those "secret stories".Because he was far away, he couldn't see the text about the author on the spine of the book, so he asked Lu Siyu what kind of book it was.Lu Siyu pondered for a moment and said: "It's a novel, forest...forest...should be about environmental protection? I don't know where Norway is, but it's definitely not in Japan. The author of the book is Japanese. Tell me about the Japanese People, still managing other people's forests, their ambitions are not dead?..." Luo Yang didn't answer, he didn't want to lead the topic in this direction, he just stared at the novel about "Forest" from a distance - it seemed to be a bright spot among the "Secrets" full of bookshelves. Lu Siyu looked at Luo Yang's expression, and said: "I haven't read that book yet, so I don't know the specific content. It was a gift from them when I participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the 'Du Lai Du Go' book club. You can give it to me if you want to read it. you." "No, I'm not interested in novels. In addition to satisfying their desire to publish, how much help do writers do to improve the environment? Some garbage novels are even a waste of forest resources." Although Luo Yang has never read it, he has long I heard that it is not about forests and the environment.However, he didn't want to point out Lu Siyu's fallacies.He knew it would be embarrassing to point out such childish fallacies, and he never did embarrassing things.He wanted to end the conversation, so he said, "If Manager Lu doesn't handle the housework properly, I'm afraid it will affect badly. I hope you will think carefully about my proposal just now." "Let me think about it first. I will come to your office to answer you in a few days, and I will consult you about legal issues. I admire lawyers the most, but I have never really dealt with lawyers. I am very happy to meet a friend like you. "Lu Siyu said sincerely.He seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness his mother had brought him. He even felt that it was not the mother who brought Luo Yang to the house, but a mysterious force brought him good news.Maybe it's an opportunity for them to meet next time?So he stuffed the novel into Royan's briefcase.
