Chapter 232 Gossip
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang Lan said: "Second sister, look at what you said, why do you think I am a know-it-all?"

Aunt Li Xiumei smiled at the side and said: "You are not a know-it-all. You tell me that you don't know anything about our relatives. No one knows as much as you about big and small things."

Zhang Lan's mother interrupted: "Stop talking about this here, Xiulan, tell me how our uncle's Xiuju is doing? Why did I hear that it seems to be cancer."

Aunt Zhang Lan sighed and said, "It's not just cancer, it's breast cancer. I had the left side removed. Now I'm doing chemotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of our city."

"Didn't you say that you don't need to do chemotherapy after surgery? Why are you still doing chemotherapy?" Zhang Lan's mother asked.

Aunt Li Xiulan said: "Who said there is no need for chemotherapy. After surgery, it depends on the recovery situation, and chemotherapy is usually required."

Zhang Lan's mother nodded: "Then when should we go and have a look? Are you discharged from the hospital now?"

"I'm still in the hospital. I just had the surgery last week. It's only been three or four days. I have to wait a few days to see how my recovery is going." said my aunt Li Xiulan.

"This is very fast. I only heard about it two days ago. I saw Zhang Lan when she got married. She looked fine at that time and there was nothing wrong with her. But it has only been like this for a long time." Aunt Li Xiumei sighed. road.

Aunt Li Xiulan said: "It's very unpleasant. I had a check-up last Monday and then had an operation on the weekend. It's still early days. The sooner the operation is done, the better the recovery will be, and the longer I will live in the future."

"Look at what you said, what does living longer mean?" Aunt Li Xiumei was dissatisfied with Li Xiulan's statement.

Zhang Lan's mother quickly dissuaded her: "Stop talking about this, when are you going to have a look? If you don't know, forget it. If you know, you can go and have a look."

Aunt Li Xiumei thought for a moment and asked, "Did Xiuju go when Dahai was hospitalized?"

Zhang Lan's mother was stunned for a moment when she was asked. She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't go when I was in the hospital. Later, I came over to celebrate Zhang Lan's wedding. But now I can't say not to go. Later, Zhang Lan got married and had a baby." She's here."

The aunt on the side, Li Xiulan, said: "When you go back tomorrow, eldest sister, you can just go to the hospital to visit me. I want to get a few gifts, and I want to give you 200 yuan. You go first, and I will go with my second sister." . We won’t give any money, just two gifts per family will be enough.”

Aunt Zhang Lan also agreed: "Sister, you are no better than before. Two gifts for me and Xiulan are enough when we go to that house. In the past, it was best for you to get one or two hundred yuan. Don't go together. It won’t look good if you give us money and we don’t give you money.”

Zhang Lan's mother nodded and said: "I know, I will go when I go back tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow. It will be afternoon when I go back tomorrow. I will go to the hospital to see her in the morning the day after tomorrow. I don't know how to get 200 yuan." Hit or miss.”

"It's a good win. She didn't even go to Dahai at that time. Now you get 200 yuan, which is a lot of money. She has breast cancer and not another disease. After surgery and chemotherapy, she can last for at least ten years." Zhang Aunt Lan said.

Aunt Li Xiumei sighed and said, "Xiulan, you are such a mouthful, you don't know how to forgive others."

Aunt Li Xiulan didn't speak. She looked at Zhang Lan who was standing aside and said suddenly: "Zhang Lan, come here and take your aunt's pulse to see if there is anything that needs attention. From now on, I have to take good care of my health and my tasks at home. But it's not finished yet." Zhang Lan said with a smile: "It's okay, auntie. I've seen both you and me. There's nothing wrong with you. You're in good health. The main thing is to pay more attention to rest. When you're young, rest when you should. Don't Working hard and constantly.”

"If you don't work, you will win. You have to pay the mortgage and car loan every month. If you don't make money every month, you won't win." Aunt Zhang Lan said with a sigh.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and asked: "Is your job in the factory still good? My uncle can't drive now?"

"It's okay to live. Your uncle can cover the car loan, house payment, and family expenses by driving by himself. He is still driving by himself. Hiring a driver for the first six months will be enough to cover the car loan, daily maintenance of the car, house loan, and daily expenses. It depends on our wages. Now that your uncle drives his own car, if nothing else, I can basically save my share of the salary." Aunt Zhang Lan said.

Aunt Li Xiumei said from the side: "That's good. Once the three-year car loan is paid off, there will be a net profit. This is the second year, and it should be paid off in another year."

Aunt Zhang Lan nodded and said: "The car I bought around this time the year before last year will be paid off in a little more than a year. Then I will be able to relax without having to pay for the car. Work hard for two more years and pay off the house loan again." , that’s almost it.”

"Rest when it's time to rest. Look at Quan Sheng now. I saw him on the road two days ago. He was dark and thin. Xiulan is fine. You can do more good things to make up for Quan Sheng. How can you be a driver?" It's like Quan Sheng. Don't just make money at the expense of your life, don't deduct too much." Zhang Lan's mother said.

Aunt Li Xiumei also said: "Including car loan, house loan, and daily pocket money. It's about [-] to [-] yuan a month. Xiulan and you two don't have to save too much. You should eat and drink when you can. Don't worry so much if you can make money. , there is Yang Quansheng’s father at home, and the old man’s retirement salary is quite a lot every month, so don’t save too much.”

While they were chatting, Zhang Lan's fifth aunt came out at the gate and shouted loudly: "We are ready to lay a memorial ceremony for you. Don't talk outside. Everyone who should come back should come back."

Zhang Lan's mother and two aunts stood up and walked into the yard, with Zhang Lan following behind.

After the memorial ceremony, Zhang Lan found her mother in the crowd and said, "Are you going back with my dad tonight? I'm going to drive home. I see there's no place to rest here."

Zhang Lan's mother asked Zhang Lan's aunt and aunt next to her.He opened his mouth and said: "Go back, your father and I will go back. Your aunt and uncle will all take the car back to our house. There is no place to live in this mountain, so why not go back. You can drive on the mountain road, but if you don't, it will be in this tomb. Just find a place to stay for one night."

Zhang Lan said: "What's wrong with this? It's an asphalt road all the way. I just need to drive slower."

Seeing Zhang Lan's confident look, Zhang Lan's mother didn't say anything.He said, "You go find your dad, and I'll go talk to your third uncle and grandma. We'll leave later."

Zhang Lan drove the car, with his father sitting in the passenger seat, and Zhang Lan's mother and Zhang Lan's aunt and uncle sitting in the back seat.After coming out of Third Uncle's village, Aunt Zhang Lan said, "I see there are a lot of people going up and down the mountain tonight. I just heard that those who drove up were planning to drive down the mountain and come up again tomorrow morning."

Aunt Li Xiumei said: "There are no people on this mountain anymore. If you don't have a place to live, don't go down the mountain. It's too cold at night on the mountain. If you stay up late, there's no ground to sleep on. It's pretty much the same down there. Nowadays, you can just find a mat and make do with it all night."

Zhang Lan drove the car and looked at the lights in front of her and said, "Look at the car lights in front of you. There are quite a few cars on the mountain this evening."
