The burly figure who hurried in from the staircase was none other than my other good friend, Yang Chen.

It is estimated that he came in a hurry, Yang Chen didn't even change his clothes, he was still wearing the same outfit he usually wore when he went out of the stall, a hurdle vest, green army pants, a pair of flip-flops on his feet, and a bulging black plastic bag in his hand, full of cumin smell.

Seeing that I was in a daze, Yang Chen glared impatiently and asked: What are you looking at me for, let me ask you what's the matter with your old man?

I licked my dry mouth, not knowing how to speak.

At this time, the doctor who had just urged me to pay the money pushed the door out of the operating room again, twisted his eyebrows and shouted: "The family of the injured! What's the matter? Why haven't you paid the fee yet?"

"How much do I have to pay?" Yang Chen asked.

The doctor replied with a poker face: "The injured person has multiple bone fractures in his right calf, and needs to borrow equipment from other hospitals, if you don't pay the money, the equipment can't be borrowed, don't complain about the hospital if there is an accident, and then the cost of blood transfusion must be paid immediately, otherwise the blood bank will not provide plasma, pay 20,000 yuan first, and refund more and make up for less." ”

I asked anxiously, "Didn't you just say that you can pay 10,000?"

The doctor said confidently, you didn't tell me just now, the injured person has wounds on his calves and back.

Yang Chen carried the black plastic bag with a "bang, bang, bang", and after a short contemplation, he said: "Is it okay to pay fifteen thousand first?" We didn't have that much on us, and tomorrow morning, we will definitely find a way to make up the money." ”

The doctor replied: If every patient's family member is like you, how can we proceed? Don't waste time, seize the time to borrow from relatives and friends, delay the best treatment period, and it will be useless for you to regret it.

My eyes were red, I almost cried, pursed my lips and begged: "Doctor, I beg you, I promise to send the money early tomorrow morning." ”

The doctor shook his head categorically and said, "No, this is the rule! ”

Just when I was in a hurry and almost knelt down for the doctor, a voice like heaven came from next to me: "Doctor Liu, they are my friends, I will make a guarantee for me, and I will definitely be able to make up the money tomorrow." ”

"Chaotian Pepper", who was standing next to me, said to the doctor in a coquettish voice.

"That's right..."The doctor's icy cheeks changed slightly, and then he nodded his head and said, "Then pay fifteen thousand first, but I must make up the money before noon tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult for me." ”

She said with a light smile on her face, "Thank you, Brother Liu." ”

The doctor gave us a meaningful look, turned and pushed the door and walked into the operating room.

Yang Chen was also stunned, and after looking at Chaotianjiao sideways for a few seconds, he patted me on the back and said, I'll pay the money first, and we'll figure out the rest.

After saying that, Yang Chen trotted away with a plastic bag.

To be honest, I was really surprised and moved at the moment.

Unexpectedly, when I was in a desperate situation and no friend was willing to lend a hand, Yang Chen, who had always seen that banknotes were more important than life, would actually rush over.

I was touched by the fact that last night I swore that Chaotian Pepper, who wanted her to be good-looking, would vouch for me at such a time, knowing that we were vegetarian and even regarded each other as enemies a few minutes ago.

Waiting for Yang Chen to leave, I twitched my nose twice and said sincerely to Chaotian Jiao, thank you.

Chao Tianjiao directly covered his face with the mask and said coldly: "No, the doctor's parents, I don't want to be sorry for my professional ethics, and I just pity the injured for not getting timely treatment, and it has nothing to do with you, if you are a man, remember to make up the money tomorrow." ”

Without waiting for me to say anything more, she turned and walked away.

I leaned against the wall, holding back my tears.

I accidentally saw her work card hanging on her chest just now, I know her name, her name is Jiang Jingya, I think I will remember this girl who laughs like an angel for the rest of my life.

More than half an hour later, Qian Long and Yang Chen and I sat side by side on the bench in the corridor of the operating room, smoking in silence.

After smoking a cigarette, Qian Long coughed twice and said: Brother Lang, don't think I speak ugly, your dad is really playing too much this time, small gambling and small trouble, harmless, but we don't know what kind of body our family is, dare to gamble the house with others, I just went back to find my fingers, Hou lame people squatted from the door of your house, people have your father's signature and fingerprint IOU in their hands, and it is not easy for the police to go.

Yang Chen stepped on the upper of Qian Long's shoes, and squeezed his eyebrows and gestured: Shut up, okay? If you know the consequences in advance, a fool will gamble.

I sniffed and looked at Yang Chen and said, "Chenzi, at the latest in one month, I will definitely pay back your medical expenses." ”

I know Yang Chen's family conditions very well, his parents are working in other places, there is a younger brother and a younger sister in the family in addition to him, and his grandparents also need to be raised, otherwise he would not run out to work before finishing the second year of junior high school, which also caused him to attach great importance to money.

Yang Chen smiled, nodding his head without any hypocrisy.

Friends are far and near, not every thank you can be exchanged for being polite, that is, from this moment on, I told myself that no matter how they mix in the future, Yang Chen and Qian Long will be the best brothers in my life.

After a few small talks, we fell silent again, and I wondered wistfully where I should go to get some money.

I went to the toll office just now and asked, it has cost more than 20,000 yuan, not counting the hospitalization fee, the old man's injury has to live for at least half a month, not counting the infusion fee, nutrition fee, the bed alone is at least 15 a day, and I also promised Jiang Jingya that I will definitely take out the poor fee before noon tomorrow.

At this moment, Qian Long's mobile phone rang, he picked up the phone and walked to the corner and muttered a few words, then looked at us and said, "I'll go downstairs, what do you want to eat?"

Yang Chen and I waved our hands in unison.

After Qian Long left, Yang Chen breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, this fool definitely sold the car.

"What?" I jumped up like a spring and walked quickly to the window.

I saw Qian Long and the two young men standing at the door of the hospital, and his broken Poussin was parked next to it, because the distance was relatively far, I couldn't hear what they were saying at all, but I could clearly see Qian Long arguing with the two young men with his hands with a white face.

After a while, the two young men got into the car and drove away, while Qian Long stayed in place for a long time, until the Poussin car completely disappeared, he reluctantly turned around, the broken car was not only his hobby, but also his survival work.

Two or three minutes later, Qian Long appeared in front of us with a hippie smile, and first threw me and Yang Chen a bottle of mineral water.

Then he said with a smile: "Just now a buddy with whom I have a good relationship lent me 8,000, counting the bits and pieces I saved before, the operation fee was temporarily solved, and I will take care of my brother to borrow some later, and be the old man's hospitalization fee, don't worry about the problem of money." ”

"Your friend is a tyrant. Yang Chen pursed his lips and chuckled.

Qian Long raised his head and lifted his arm, revealing the inferior tattoo sticker on his arm that he bought for five yuan, and said with a smile: "That's necessary, how big feet are social people, you don't know, right, Brother Lang." ”

As he spoke, Qian Long put his arm around my shoulders and didn't say a word about the fact that he had just sold the car.

Yang Chen squinted his eyes and said: Then can you ask your buddy to borrow 100,000 more, the old man still owes 100,000 to the lame man.

Qian Long was choked suddenly, and after a few twitches of the muscles on his face, he said: Brother Lang, I think so, if we don't pay back the gambling debts owed by the old man, we can't afford to pay it back, and he is willing to give him our broken house, it's a big deal that you and your father move out to rent a house.

Yang Chen pinched his nose and said in a low voice, do you know why Hou Cripple wants Lang Lang's broken house?

Qian Long asked stupidly: Why? Could it be that there is a treasure buried under his house?

Yang Chen pouted angrily and scolded: Bao Ji Ba, I heard that our piece is about to be demolished, and some time ago, the demolition households in Wang Village didn't lose hundreds of thousands of yuan and divide them into two suites.

"Really?" Qian Long's voice suddenly raised, and his face was full of incredulity.

Yang Chen ignored Qian Long, stood up and patted me on the shoulder and said: I went out of the stall, my personal suggestion is to kill and not make room for Hao Cripple, in case it is really demolished, it is useless for you to cry blind, Lang Lang We have this kind of family condition, and we have no chance to take off a few times in our lives.

With that, he crumpled the black plastic bag he had taken when he came, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and walked away slowly.

Seeing that I was dumbfounded, Qian Long poked me twice with his arm and asked, "Brother Lang, what do you think?"

I clenched my fists and said in a hoarse voice that I would like to go back to the garage later.

Qian Long paused for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Cheng, I'll go with you..."
