Chapter 207 Insurance
Azu went to the United States to accompany Diana to give birth to the baby. He said that he was going to accompany his wife to give birth to the baby, but in fact it was mostly a trip, because it was still a full month before Diana gave birth to the baby. , enough for Azu to have a good time. Lao Dou's mother also suddenly became interested in traveling, so Zhu Wanling paid for them to sign up for a five-day and four-night elderly tour group.
The five days passed quickly.
"Grandpa and grandma are traveling and should come back today. Xiu Gu, please remember to buy more vegetables." The second sister-in-law ordered the family nanny Xiu Gu early in the morning. Xiu Gu nodded in agreement and went out to buy vegetables. .
It wasn’t until after five o’clock in the afternoon that Old Dou’s mother returned to Kang’s house. As soon as they got home, they collapsed on the sofa looking exhausted. Erlao and Ayao kept asking them if it was fun to travel, but they didn't reply and just kept shaking their heads.
"Mother Dou, you look very tired. Let's have a cup of tea and take a rest." Zhu Wanling poured tea for the two elders and placed it in front of them.
"Old Dou, what do you mean you keep shaking your head? This tour group is terrible?" Kang Qirui guessed.
After taking a sip of tea, Lao Dou sighed: "In short, my feet are yellow and swollen and I don't need to lift them."
The adults are chatting here, and Tianxiu is already there. Old Dou's mother was looking for gifts in her backpack, "Grandpa, what is this? What are these other things?" He dug out a bunch of strange things, none of which he recognized, which was not fun.
“Stop it, stop it, I’ll tell you what it is when you have time.” Lao Dou seemed not to want to mention this trip, so he changed the subject and said, “Have you cooked rice yet? I’m hungry. , let’s have dinner first.”
Xiu Gu still had two dishes to finish, so Lao Dou asked her to cook them while she was eating. It seemed that he was indeed very hungry. He ate three bowls of rice today, and my mother also ate two bowls of rice. Kang Qirui was surprised. As people get older, their appetite gradually decreases. Therefore, to prove whether a person is old or not, just ask whether he can still eat?
In Kang Qirui’s memory, the last time Old Dou’s mother had as much food as today was ten years ago. He asked curiously: “Old Mother Dou, didn’t that tourist group eat? ? Why are you so hungry? "
" Those who know know that you are coming back from a trip, but those who don't know think you are coming out of prison. "That's what the second guy said. Just listen. Just irritating.
"You are the one who came out of prison." Old Dou was so angry that he slammed his chopsticks on the table, "I told you not to sign up for the Senior Citizens Group, but you have to sign up, okay? We two wild men almost didn’t come back.”
Although he didn’t mention his name, everyone knew that he was talking about Zhu Wanling, and Zhu Wanling almost shed tears of grievance. She was about to say something to defend herself, but Kang Qirui grabbed her hand under the table and supported and comforted her with practical actions. "Old Dou, how expensive are you this year? If you don't join the senior citizen group, why should you join the children's group?" Kang Qirui said to Lao Dou.
"Grandpa and grandma, when I signed up, a tour guide said personally that this tour group has many benefits. They will consider the elderly's schedule and safety issues. I only signed up after hearing about the benefits." Zhu Wanling Then Kang Qirui explained.
"Okay, okay, Wanling, don't worry, my uncle didn't mean it like that, so don't take it to heart." Mom is a docile and sensible person, and she also knows that Zhu Wanling is also one kindness.
Under the look of his mother, Lao Dou also said a word of relief: "Yes, that's right, Wanling, I didn't say anything bad about you, I meant that the tour group was bad and deceived you. It also caused great harm to us.”
“Let me tell you, when we went to the foot of the mountain, all the old people went hiking, and a group of children were left to let us watch and let them play on the lawn. Is that so? He said, uncle, please don’t go up the mountain. We’re afraid you’ll have a heart attack halfway up.”
My mother interrupted and said, “You guys can’t go, so I can only accompany you.” He was playing with the children at the foot of the mountain.”
"Where did the old man come from with his children?" Everyone became even more curious.
“Many old people brought their grandchildren. The tour guide asked your grandmother and I to watch and take care of them. We discarded many toys after playing with them, so I picked them up and gave them to Tianxiu to play with. ." Old Dou said helplessly.
He was helpless, and the second sister-in-law was even more helpless. "Tian'u doesn't play with those things. He's so mentally retarded, so it's suitable for Tian'u." "If Tian'u doesn't want to play, let's let Si Qi Siyu and Tianyou Zhizi play." Lao Dou was very insistent and felt that he didn't want to pick up the things for free.
Everyone waved their hands, but they didn’t dare to just pick up a toy and give it to their children to play with. It’s so unhygienic.
"Besides, it would be fun to go swimming that day." Seeing that no one wanted toys, Lao Dou gave up. He continued to complain: "When I went to the beach, I also wanted to go into the water. Everyone went in, but the tour guide refused to let me go. He said that I was the oldest, so I played with my children at the beach. They always said that I was sixty-eight. Sixty-eight, now the elderly tour group actually engages in age discrimination."
"Does this happen to other elderly people?" Ayao asked.
"Definitely not, they were having so much fun." Old Dou became more and more angry as he spoke.
Kang Qirui looked at Lao Dou: "Is it possible that you have offended the tour guide from the beginning?" With Lao Dou's temper and character, it is really possible that he has offended someone without knowing it.
“No.” Old Dou shook his head.
Sachiko said at this time: "Wanling, did they ask you to buy insurance when you signed up?"
Zhu Wanling: "Yes, but to buy insurance you need your grandparents' ID numbers. Where can I find it?" You know, I just handed over the money and asked them to ask the grandparents for their ID number and complete the following procedures on the day of departure."
"Oh, that's what happened." Lao Dou "Hey. He said, putting his hands on the table, "But I think the two of us are always in good health, so there is no need to waste money, so I asked them to refund the insurance money to me."
Xingzi sighed: "Dad, that's right. If you don't buy insurance, how can they dare to let you go to the mountains and into the water? How can they dare to take such responsibility? What's more, you still want to pursue them even after they have collected their money. How can I have a good face when someone refunds my money?"
Kang Qirui was speechless and said helplessly: "Old Dou, you really bought that insurance after Wanling gave you the money. Now it's okay. Did it make me feel as inexperienced as you?”
"How did I know it would be like this?" Lao Dou said harshly, and everyone was used to it. Lao Dou had such a cold and harsh character. After dinner, everyone was watching TV and chatting in the living room. Lao Dou suddenly came out of the room, looked at Sachiko and asked: "Sachiko, you used to work in insurance. Are you still familiar with the insurance business after all this time? "
"Dad, why are you asking this?" Sachiko asked confused.
“I just finished dinner and went back to the room to think about it, and I think it’s better to buy insurance at our age. Otherwise, we’ll be targeted for anything we do when we go out, and I won’t feel at ease.” Lao Dou laughed. road.
"How about this, Dad, I will go with you tomorrow to the insurance company where I used to work. I am familiar with it. You can also learn more about the specific business and see which insurance you want to buy. Don’t worry, I still have some connections there, so I won’t make random recommendations.”
Lao Dou nodded and agreed. These days, everyone has a stereotype of insurance agencies, thinking that they are all scammers who promote all kinds of messy insurance packages. This is also the reason why Lao Dou asked Sachiko to come forward.
"Has Old Dou turned to death? He actually wants to buy insurance." The second man sighed.
