Chapter 120 Poor Xiaojin County
Zhu Xiaohua sat beside the hospital bed and held Ding Xueqi's hand: "Xue Qi, why can't you think about it! You hear the people outside, how noisy and lively they are, look at how beautiful the sunset is outside, and look at how beautiful the world is. ah."
Ding Xueqi stared blankly out of the window: "The crowd is buzzing but there are no close relatives of mine. No matter how beautiful the sunset is, it will set. The beauty of the world has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Xiaohua was speechless for a moment.
Lin Shaoqi, the instructor next to him, said: "Xue Qi, the difficulty is only temporary. I have submitted an application to the school for free tuition. Once the application is approved, the tuition fee will be enough for your grandma to take medicine for at least half a month."
"You have to remember that your future is still very bright. If your parents are still alive, they will definitely hope that you can succeed in your studies and become a useful person to society."
Speaking of Ding Xueqi's grandma, Zhu Xiaohua said again: "Yes, Xue Qi, you have to live well. Although grandma is sick, she is not dead. Even if there is a glimmer of life, we must seize it! Regarding money, we will Just take your time and think of a solution.”
Ding Xueqi couldn't stop crying when she talked about her relative. She sobbed: "But, how can I pay for 200 yuan a day for medicine or 30 to [-] yuan for surgery?"
What is the difference between these high medical and surgical fees and watching my grandma die?
200 yuan per day, or 30 to [-] yuan for surgery.
In 08, there was no platform like Shuidichou, and high medical and surgical expenses were indeed an unsolvable problem.
Zhu Xiaohua and Lin Shaoqi both shut their mouths, and even their words of comfort seemed to be boring for a while.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Zheng Wan stood at the door.
When they saw Zheng Wan, Zhu Xiaohua and Lin Shaoqi were very angry. The atmosphere was tense. Why did you, the perpetrator, come in again? Aren't you adding trouble to Ding Xueqi!
But Zheng Wan's words immediately made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let me help pay for grandma's medical expenses first. The money for medicine and surgery is not a big sum of money to me."
It’s not a lot of money either.
If this sentence were said through the mouth of ordinary people, it would be pretentious; but if it was said through Zheng Wan's mouth, it would be fine.
No one doubts Zheng Wan's financial ability, even if he is just a young man.
Ding Xueqi, who was sitting on the hospital bed, was stunned for a moment. Then she bit her lower lip tightly and held the quilt with her little hands in fear: "But, but... I, I can't ask for your money."
This is where Ding Xueqi makes people pity her.
It was obvious that she was so miserable that she had no choice but to know exactly what money she could and could not ask for.
Not to mention that Zheng Wan rejected her confession, even if he really agreed to be her boyfriend, judging from the pure and kind heart of this little girl, there is a high probability that she would still not ask for the money.
Faced with such a timid and indecisive girl, Zheng Wan knew how to cure her.
Zheng Wan interrupted her directly: "You girls, you are so busy grinding every day! Your grandma is lying on the hospital bed and is about to die, and you still care about this and that!"
"It's just money. I'll pay it back later when I have more time. You are a 985 top student and you have strong learning ability. If you don't do well, you can go work for our Tuanxin company. What a big deal!"
When facing a girl like this, you have to scold her.
Use harsh, tough attitudes and words to scold her, only then will she listen.
Sure enough, Ding Xueqi was silent on the hospital bed, but the bedsheets she held in her little hands were twisted even more.
Lin Shaoqi and Zhu Xiaohua looked at Zheng Wan with complicated eyes, but their expressions were obviously relieved.
Zhu Xiaohua sighed in his heart: Sure enough, Zheng Wan can cure Ding Xuequi like this, but Zheng Wan is really a bastard, why should he reject Xue Qi!Xue Qi needs good looks and good character. Bastard Zheng Wan, you are lucky to have met Xue Qi in your eighth life. Why do you reject her?
After the atmosphere in the ward was stagnant for five seconds, Zheng Wan knew that what he said had an effect, so he continued: "I will book a flight now, and I will go to Aba Zang with you tomorrow to visit your grandma. I want to make sure that your grandma is indeed seriously ill. Otherwise, I won’t lend you the money.”
"In addition, all expenses incurred in going to Aba to hide will be accounted for. You owe me. Do you understand?"
Listening to Zheng Wan's domineering but warm words, Ding Xueqi, who had managed not to cry, cried again. She got up and got out of bed, and then knelt down in front of Zheng Wan.
"Get up! Don't kneel!" Zheng Wan shouted directly: "Kneeling is too frustrating. I believe this, get up quickly!"
Zhu Xiaohua also hurried over and helped Ding Xueqi up. He couldn't help shouting: "Zheng Wan, you bastard, why are you yelling? Don't yell at Xue Qi like that again!"
……
That night, the instructor Lin Shaoqi directly approved three days of leave for Zheng Wan and Ding Xueqi, and said that if they didn't come back in time, they could just call and he would take care of it from the school.
Eight o'clock the next morning.
After Zheng Wan and Ding Xueqi simply cleaned up, Zheng Wan took her to the airport by car.
The car was moving quickly, and soon the girl was covering her head and looking in pain.
Zheng Wan knew that she was motion sick, so he asked the driver to drive slower. He also bought some chewing gum from a roadside shop and handed it to her.
Chewing gum in her mouth, the car window was wide open. She put her hands on the window and rested her head on it, then closed her eyes. This made the feeling of motion sickness slightly better.
When the taxi stopped near the airport, she ran out in a panic and lay down in a trash can to vomit.After vomiting, he carefully took out a tissue from the sewn canvas bag and wiped his mouth, rinsed his mouth with water, and chewed gum for a long time before walking towards Zheng Wan.
"Are you okay?"
"Hmm..." She nodded like a mosquito.
Zheng Wan was walking in front, and she followed him in small steps. Although she kept her head buried hard, this girl followed closely as if she had two antennas.
From time to time, there would be the buzz of an airplane, and she would timidly raise her head, and then show an upturned and humble expression.
The two quickly entered the airport lobby. The brightly lit and luxuriously decorated lobby was obviously much more upscale than the train station. Ding Xueqi seemed a little timid, and she gently tugged on Zheng Wan's arm.
"Zheng Wan, how much does it cost for us to take a flight?"
"To travel from Hecheng to Tianfu Capital, each of us will have to pay about one thousand and fifty, economy class."
"Ah? One person has one thousand and fifty, two people have three thousand, which means I have to work part-time in the school cafeteria for three hundred days."
She seemed to have retreated, her steps stopped moving, her lips pursed and her eyes flashed: "How about we take the train?"
"The train takes three days and two nights, and I don't have that much time." Facing Ding Xueqi, Zheng Wan showed some rare patience and said, "You go to school hard, and you may earn 3000 yuan in a few days. "
"Really, really?"
Zheng Wan took her into the airport and bought two tickets.
Because they had checked the flight in advance, the two of them boarded the plane without waiting long.
It only took two hours from Hecheng to the Capital of Tianfu.
But the real trouble began after arriving in Tianfu Capital. The two took a taxi to the bus station and boarded the bus to Xiaojin County.
The road from the Capital of Tianfu to Dujiangyan was pretty good, but as soon as we left Dujiangyan, the road immediately turned into a winding mountain road and was very bad. Zheng Wandu, who had never been prone to motion sickness, was a little dizzy from the shaking carriage.
Along the way, Zheng Wan saw many cracked roads, collapsed ruins, and buildings submerged by mudslides.
Although five months have passed, the disaster caused by the earthquake is still shocking.
Fortunately, the first thing to open after an earthquake is the road. No matter how the buildings collapse or the mudslides are terrifying, there is always a road that can be walked.
The road is full of potholes and mud and is in dilapidated condition. The bus on this kind of road can knock someone's heart out. The mountain road is also very dangerous. There are no guardrails next to it. Looking down, you can see the cliff.But the driver was familiar with the road and kept honking the car and accelerating the gas pedal. After three hours, he finally arrived in Xiaojin County.
It is said to be a county town, but there are also large areas of ruins here. There is not even a decent building in the entire county town.
Zheng Wan felt that any town in his hometown would develop better than a so-called county town.
Living here, it is already extremely difficult to leave the county.
Ding Xueqi also told Zheng Wan that her hometown is in a village below Xiaojinchuan County. If she wanted to go there, she would have to ride a motorcycle for more than an hour or walk for four or five hours.The road there is worse and more dangerous than this road. Every year, four or five people in the village die because they accidentally fall into the valley.
But there is no need to travel so hard today, because Grandma Ding Xueqi is hospitalized at the No. 1 Civil Hospital in Xiaojin County.
There are no taxis here, but there are three-wheeled motorcycles everywhere. When Zheng Wan spoke Mandarin, the other party couldn't understand him. But when Ding Xueqi spoke in dialect, the master who drove the tricycle immediately grinned with an honest smile.
The county town is very small, so the two of them arrived at the county hospital in about 10 minutes.
The hospital here seems to have just been built. 70.00% of the area is made of iron sheets and thick cables. You can see many disabled people working hard to recover here.
Ding Xueqi said that these people were all lucky because they survived the earthquake, while the unfortunate ones had already passed away.
After the two entered the hospital, Ding Xueqi asked the girl at the service desk in dialect.
"Sister, my grandma's heart has a large blood vessel blockage. Which ward is she in?"
"The cardiovascular system is on the third floor. Go to the third floor and ask the doctor."
The two reached the third floor and came to a doctor's office.
The doctor is a middle-aged man in his 30s. Because it is already late, he is writing medical records with his head down and getting ready to get off work.
After the two entered the office, Ding Xueqi quickly asked with concern: "Hello doctor, may I ask which ward my grandma Gong Huahua is in."
The doctor thought for a while and said, "Gong Huahua? Is she the old lady in her 70s? She was just discharged from the hospital this morning without receiving treatment. She should have gone back now."
