Yanzi and I insisted on accompanying my mother to the hospital. My mother originally said that rheumatism was an old problem and it was almost cured in Beijing, but in winter, the reaction to a slightly sore waist was normal. But Yanzi insisted on her going to the hospital, and I also said: "Maybe it's not rheumatism. What if it's a lumbar spine problem? It's better to find a doctor to confirm it."

In today's hospitals, there are almost always elimination methods for a person's illness. Blood tests, urine tests, CT scans, and a lot of tests were performed, which almost eliminated other possibilities of back pain before they could be confirmed. After the test and examinations were completed, Yanzi sat with my mother and waited for the results. I went down to pay the price. When I finished the work, I looked for my mother and found that there was no one in the place where they were sitting. Did they go to the doctor? Or did they go to another place to get the results? The time was not so fast.

I went to the laboratory to get the results window and asked, but the result had not come out yet. I guess I went to the doctor.

I turned to the doctor's clinic, and there were already a long queue of people waiting at the door. Because this is a surgical expert, there are many people queuing up for treatment. Of course, we have something to do, so my mother can look for him as soon as she comes.

I looked into the doctor's clinic and found that my mother and the others were not inside. Could it be that they went to the lobby on the first floor to look for me?

I turned around again and was about to go to the first floor. When I walked to the elevator entrance, I heard a female voice: "Brother, I have to hold my hands. This kind of elevator is easy to fall."

Because of the taste of a northwest accent, I felt a little curious and looked at them. On the escalator on the side, a woman was holding a man in her forties on the elevator.

I looked at him, so familiar. Could it be that it was him?

"Old Liu!" I shouted tentatively. The other party suddenly looked at me, from doubt to surprise to surprise, and suddenly shouted: "It's you who said it!"

The sudden change was when the elevator had just reached the top and he was closest to me. I was standing at the elevator entrance above. He probably wanted to shake hands with me, but he staggered and almost fell down. I quickly took a big step to the left and hugged him.

We obviously felt the temperature and excitement of each other. We looked at each other, hugged him again, and then separated. The woman behind us pulled him to the left and then we moved to the left so as not to block the elevator.

"Why did you arrive in Wenzhou?" I asked in surprise.

He pointed to the woman beside him: "This is what my sister told you, remember."

Of course I remember that Lao Liu from Dunhuang, Lao Liu who stayed at his parents' home for his sister, Lao Liu who stayed in a foreign land for his mother, Lao Liu who was filial and persistent, Lao Liu who was miserable. I have seen the photos of his sister. His sister is said to have married to the south, but she didn't expect it to be in Wenzhou.

Lao Liu said to his sister: "This is a loyal person Xiaozhuang, I met in Dunhuang."

His sister and I asked her, "So you live in Wenzhou?"

"Yes, my husband is from Wenzhou. He used to live in the countryside and now works in a factory in Wenzhou."

I looked at Lao Liu and felt intimacy aroused. "Lao Liu, I thought I wouldn't meet you in this life. It seems that we are still destined to be together."

"Hey, who said no? If my sister hadn't asked me to come, she wouldn't have encountered it. Isn't this an unexpected gain?"

Our joy comes from the heart. This is one of the four great things in life: "Meet an old friend in a foreign land", meet someone who has moved me, and meet someone who has changed my major life decisions.

His persistence made me ashamed. His sincere feelings for my mother and protection for my sister made me firm in my determination to find my mother. Such a person with poor destiny has the sincerity of emotions and the sense of responsibility of a man inspire me to have a sense of responsibility and also allows me to find my own family.

Lao Liu's stepfather is Zhang Manzi, and his sister should have the surname Zhang. I asked her: "My name is Sister Zhang, right? Did you go back to Dunhuang for the New Year?"

"Yes, my family usually goes back to Dunhuang during the Chinese New Year. My parents-in-law knows the situation of my family, so we go back every year. When we go back this year, I find that my brother's legs are not good and he feels painful when walking. I force him to take him to Wenzhou and go to a large hospital to check it out. I don't have an expert number, and it's better to have an ordinary number than the hospital in Dunhuang, right?"

Lao Liu said: "She is too. I think I am almost fifty years old, so how can I be fine? She and her brother-in-law insist on pulling me over, and I can't do anything."

I asked, "Have you ever been injured in your foot?"

Lao Liu said: "I have suffered from skin injuries, and I have not hurt my bones, and it's nothing. It's almost the same to take some painkillers in Dunhuang. There is no need to spend this money in a large hospital."

I asked her sister: "Did the expert number not be installed, or what?" I think that if his leg pain is not caused by a simple trauma, it should be safer to find an expert. Moreover, the expert who treats my mother is very famous in this regard.

"I know there is an expert here who is very famous, but it has been a few days since he was not able to get his number. I heard that he had to make an appointment to see him. There were not many numbers in the hospital that day. Maybe it was too late for us to register, and our family arrived at the hospital. No matter how early it was, the bus would have to start work at 6 o'clock. When we arrived at 7 o'clock, the number would be gone long ago. What can I do?" Her sister said the truth. This expert is so famous. He only sees thirty patients a day. There are probably more than ten who make appointments, and there are more than ten. As soon as the hospital lined up, the numbers were all seized.

"In this way, I suggest you find the expert to see. You don't have to worry about how to register. I'll do it. Let's see it tomorrow, so it won't be delayed, right?"

His sister looked at me in surprise, feeling both embarrassed and full of expectations: "Really?"

I nodded: "No problem, wrap it on me."

Lao Liu said: "Xiaozhuang, no trouble. I am not a big deal. I can't die. Why bother you?"

"That's it, Lao Liu, if you think of me."

Lao Liu said: "You will get your favor as soon as you meet. How can you be so embarrassed to make someone?"

I was about to explain when I heard Yanzi's voice: "Brother, I'm looking for you for a long time, why are you doing here?"

When I looked back, my mother, Yanzi, came over and asked, "Is it the result?"

"It's out." Yanzi replied, "It's nothing. The doctor said it was rheumatism. I gave me what you paid for. I also had to prescribe medicine and get the medicine before paying for it. Oh? Have you met an acquaintance?"

Yanzi stared at the old Liu brother and sister. She had already seen us talking just now, and this was what she guessed.

I immediately introduced: "Old Liu, this is my wife Xiao Gao, and my mother is standing there."

I said to Yanzi again: "This is Lao Liu from Dunhuang, this is her sister, our name is Sister Zhang."

Yanzi greeted them separately. My mother saw that the crowd of us was lively and walked over. When she saw Sister Zhang, she looked at her and Sister Zhang also looked at her. Suddenly, Sister Zhang asked, "Auntie, are you an aunt from the Damei family?"

My mother suddenly said, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhang, why did you meet you?" She looked at us again and asked, "How did you meet?"

I found such a coincidence and thought the world was too magical, so I smiled and asked my mother, "Why do you know each other?"

Yanzi was absolutely confused about all this. She shook my arm and pulled my mother's hand, but her eyes looked at Lao Liu and his sister. It was simply amazing.

"So, after the incident, I said, Yanzi, my mother won't take long for prescriptions. Yanzi, I'll help Lao Liu make an appointment tomorrow. It's this expert, is it okay?"

"No problem! Brother, I took my mom to prescribe medicine."

Lao Liu and I found a chair by the wall to sit down. Xiao Zhang caught up with my mother and said, "Auntie, wait for me." He turned around and said to his brother, "Brother, you and Xiaozhuang are here, don't run around."

Old Liu looked at me and smiled: "Your wife's surname is Gao. This is the first time I have seen her. She is from Wenzhou?"

I nodded and joked with him: "The cigarette I gave you in Dunhuang is hers. You smoked someone else's cigarettes and only met today, that's not right."

He smiled foolishly again: "You, you gave me all the things that Lao Huang gave you last time. Why are you so kind to me?"

I know what he was talking about. Last time, his classmate, Boss Huang from Turpan, sold raisins, gave me and Lao Liu a box of things. I gave them to Lao Liu. He probably called Lao Huang and confirmed this. The characteristic of a good person is that he will never forget how others treat him.

I can't say much about this, so as to avoid Lao Liu always feels like he owes me a favor. I changed the topic: "Boss Huang has seen my wife, you have met her for the first time today. How about it? Since I met her in Wenzhou, it's always a must for a meal, right?"

"Then you must have helped me so much. We are destined to be together. We drink at noon. I don't have money, but I still have money for wine." Old Liu naturally thought that he should have invited this guest.

"What are you saying? Lao Liu, my family is in Wenzhou, I have to invite this customer. Besides, if you want to help, you are my great benefactor! My whole family must thank you!"

This made Lao Liu look confused. He was about to ask, my mother and the others came out. The three of them laughed and were as intimate as old acquaintances.

"How is it? What does the doctor say?"

Yanzi replied: "It's nothing, it's a bit rheumatism, but it's mainly winter. I didn't pay attention to keeping my waist warm. After getting a little cold, I prescribed some medicine. The doctor said that as long as I pay attention to keeping warm, it will naturally relieve it."

"I'm relieved this, it's fine if there's no big problem. Where's the account you made for Lao Liu?"

Yanzi said: "You are not at ease with me. You have already done it. You will come at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

I pulled Lao Liu and said to Yanzi, "I met my benefactor, Yanzi, what should I do?"

"When you come to my house, what do you mean? I'll call Sister Song." She turned around and said to my mother: "Mom, be at my house today?"

My mother nodded. I pulled and helped Lao Liu out of the elevator and we got on the car. In the car, I was in the passenger seat and Yanzi drove. I turned around and found that Lao Liu was still confused. I knew what he was thinking and deliberately said: "It's not good to drink at noon, Lao Liu, I won't tell you the reason."

But my mother and Xiao Zhang started talking from Damei, talked about the old factory and the neighborhoods and vegetable markets they used to live in, and then talked about the situation today.

"Auntie, your affairs have spread all over our factory." This is Xiao Zhang's voice.

"I'm not a worker in your factory, why are you telling me to do?" This is my mother.

"Damei no longer works in our factory, and I don't know whether it is true or not. Today, as soon as I saw Xiaozhuang and Xiaogao and looked at the car, I knew that what they were saying was true."

I suddenly became interested: "Sister Zhang, is my mom famous?"

"Legend, an absolute legend." Xiao Zhang said excitedly: "Most of the people in our factory live in nearby communities, where the aunt and Damei used to live. Damei and I are coworkers, and I have some contact with each other and live in that community. My aunt usually sells fruits in that vegetable market, and many people in the factory know my aunt. Damei and I have been home twice, so my aunt recognizes me."

This is how a woman thinks. I asked the legend and she talked about relationships, but it doesn’t matter, because she still has to say the whole thing in the end. Listen to women, you have to be patient.

But I interrupted a little to prevent her from being too far away: "It seems that Damei has a good relationship with you. Yanzi, why don't Damei be invited at noon?"

"No invitation at noon" my mother said, "She still has to go to work, why not invite her tonight, how about having an appointment with Damei?"

"Just as my mother said." Yanzi answered while driving.

"Let's invite me tonight, aunt, I haven't seen Damei for a long time, I want to meet her." This is Xiao Zhang's saying.

My mother said, "Xiao Zhang, you don't invite me, just eat big people. Damei wants to invite me, but Yanzi paid the bill, right?"

Old Liu finally spoke: "That's so sorry, I always ask you to spend money to treat us."

"Money is a small matter. We have to drink it well. This is a big matter, right?" I said: "Sister Zhang, how did they spread it to my mother?"

"Oh, I almost ran away again. Isn't my aunt selling fruits all the time? I heard that one day, a local man was going to bully him. Suddenly, her son, who had been separated for many years, came back. He was very skilled in martial arts and beat the man down on the spot. Besides, her son is the boss. The next day, when the aunt returned to the market, she was a jewelry and was simply a billionaire. I heard that his son knew many high-ranking officials in Beijing, and his daughter-in-law and his family were also a super big boss in Wenzhou. Not to mention the vegetable market, even our entire community, it would take a minute to buy it. At the beginning, when we spread this, we didn't believe it. Everyone asked Damei, but Damei didn't say it in detail. Later, Damei's family moved away, and we didn't know if it was true."

"Really, it's all true." Yanzi smiled in front and said, "Brother, big boss, martial arts master!" She was obviously a joke.

My mother laughed behind her. Although this legend is a little exaggerated, it is basically true. I said, "It's not that magical, but it's not true. You'll know when you come to my house?"

As soon as the car arrived home, Xiao Zhang and Lao Liu were shocked when they saw the villa. Xiao Zhang had seen it and lived there. Lao Liu, in his words, "I have only watched it on TV. Today I saw the real guy."

Amidst the exclamation, we took their brother and sister to visit our home. When we returned to the living room, my mother took Xiao Zhang to the kitchen. Lao Liu and I sat on the chair. Yanzi asked Lao Liu what tea to drink. Lao Liu seemed very reserved and said, "Just drink boiled water."

Yan Zi really wanted to pour boiled water, and I immediately said, "Old Liu is polite, so you should take it seriously? In this way, so brew some Pu'er, oolong, and green tea, let Lao Liu taste it, what he likes, and then make a decision."

Lao Liu wanted to stand up and refuse politely, so I pressed him down: "Lao Liu, please come here just to let you enjoy it. Don't be dissatisfied. These are all things at home and are not specially prepared for you."

Yanzi asked: "Brother Liu comes from Dunhuang, how did my brother know you?"

Lao Liu was preparing to answer, and I rushed to say, "Remember Dunhuang, which hotel we stayed in? Lao Liu was working as a security guard there at that time."

Only then did Old Liu say it: "It's the same now."

Yanzi said: "I guess I didn't deal with you, and I don't have any impression of you now."

I continued: "Does the Huang boss in Turpan have an impression of the roasted whole lamb family?"
To be continued...
