Chapter 17 The Industrious and Respectable Mother

The outpatient building and inpatient department building of Yili County Hospital are all new.

Li Xinke held Li Shanshan's hand, afraid that once the hand was released, it would make Li Shanshan feel insecure. After leaving the parking lot, Li Shanshan was a little sullen.

Looking at that, I knew that Li Shanshan was a little lost.

Ye Wanfu took Li Xinke and them into the hall, only to see that in front of several charging windows in the hall, there were queues of patients' family members who were paying fees.

"This county hospital was rebuilt with a total investment in Yun, which is more than twice as large as the original county hospital. But I don't understand why it's all rebuilt, and the hall is still so crowded. ”

Ye Wanfu leaned closer to Li Xinke's ear and said softly.

"Yili County is not like the urban area of Yushi, there are large hospitals, and there are several. I seem to have heard someone say that the hospitals in the county are in better condition than the county hospitals and the maternal and child health hospitals. When those patients come to see a doctor, of course, they will come to a hospital with better conditions. ”

Li Xin replied calmly.

In fact, she is also the first time to come to Yili County in this world, and she is still very unfamiliar with everything here. However, she heard from a classmate that there are still two large hospitals in Yili County.

Ye Wanfu nodded and said to Li Xinke:

"At this time, there are a lot of people, let's go up the stairs and see your mother. Otherwise, waiting for an elevator, so many people are scrambling to take it, and the heat is sweating. ”

Li Xinke is tempted to say that if you go up the stairs, you may sweat more.

But she knew that Ye Wanfu was an anxious person, and she didn't want to say anything, so she nodded and agreed.

At this time, Li Shanshan tilted her head to look at Li Xinke, and said softly: "Sister, I still took the elevator when I went to Sister Jing's dormitory for dinner." I would like to take the elevator again......"

Li Xinke gave Li Shanshan a look and motioned her to be obedient.

At this time, whatever Sister Wanfu said, they just followed suit.

Of course, Ye Wanfu also heard what Li Shanshan said, so she said, "Let's go take the elevator." ”

After that, he took Li Xinke and the two sisters to the elevator entrance.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the people who were standing at the elevator entrance before swarmed inside.

Li Shanshan was thin and not tall, so she was directly squeezed into the corner.

Li Xinke had no choice but to stand next to Li Shanshan, lest Li Shanshan would not see her for a while, and she would cry in fright.

Children who haven't been out much really don't have a sense of security.

A tall middle-aged man carries an insulated lunch box in his left hand and a washed and whitish-white cloth bag in his right hand. As soon as he walked in, he said to a woman standing in the elevator:

"Big sister, please help me press the 12th floor. My hands are not empty, I can't hold them. ”

"Okay. The woman quickly pressed 12 and said with a smile:

"Big brother, press it. ”

The woman looked at the man, thought for a moment, and asked:

"I remember that your wife and my mother-in-law lived in the same ward. You went back to your hometown to make up the surgery fee for your wife, have you made it up?"

The operating room is on the twelfth floor, which Li Xinke knew after walking into the hall and looking at the picture.

She felt that the tall middle-aged man, as if she had seen it somewhere, was a little familiar. Listening to the accent of the man's speech, it is also the accent of Fengqi Bai Township.

Maybe that man is their hometown.

I heard the man reply:

"I borrowed some from the folks in my village, and I barely managed to make up enough of them. ”

"I said, big brother, didn't I listen to one of your fellow countrymen, isn't your brother-in-law still the owner of a tea factory?

The woman pursed her lips, complaining that the man had not gone to her relatives for help.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, shook his head, and said, "How can I talk to my brother-in-law about this? My brother-in-law went to the provincial capital to discuss business with customers. When he does business, he rarely takes care of his family. ”

"My daughter-in-law called her brothers and sisters. The people didn't come to see it, and my daughter-in-law and I couldn't force people to come. Right?"

The rest of the people standing in the elevator shook their heads when they heard this.

Maybe they're all thinking, if anyone meets a relative like that, they will feel very helpless, right?

"They don't come, of course not. The woman was displeased and said,

"Your wife is also their wife, why don't they come to see it? Your daughter-in-law and your children are taking care of you here, and I feel distressed when I see it. ”

"I went back to find someone to borrow money, so I tired them. I'm here, and it's nothing. The middle-aged man smiled innocently and said:

"My wife can't stay idle at my house, so she has to be so diligent, so she goes to the river to wash clothes while my daughter-in-law and I are digging potatoes. No, let the glass slag scratch your foot, pitiful. ”

When Ye Wanfu heard this, she whispered to Li Xinkedao:

"Do you know that the tall fat man who spoke just now is your classmate Bu Zhilian's own uncle. The person who was scratched by the glass slag and needed surgery was Bu Zhilian's grandmother. ”

Li Xinke listened and nodded knowingly.

Ye Wanfu continued:

"Actually, if the old lady had just been scratched by glass shards, she probably wouldn't have come to the county hospital for treatment. The main reason is that the old lady has gallstones, so she needs to come to the county hospital for gallstone surgery. ”

"Shouldn't I let Bu Zhilian's father get some money for gallstone surgery?"

Ye Wanfu glanced at Li Xinke embarrassedly, and stopped talking.

Until she stepped out of the elevator, Ye Wanfu did not answer Li Xinke's question.

Li Xinke took Li Shanshan's hand, followed Ye Wanfu, and walked into a ward on the sixth floor.

Her mother, Du Muhao, lives in this three-person ward. Her mother's hospital bed, in the middle. At this time, their neighbor, Hua Nianzhu, Ye Wanfu's husband, was sitting on the chair with a back near the end of the bed.

Du Muhao, who was lying on the hospital bed I, was already asleep.

Li Xinke looked at Du Muhao's bloodless face, and tears fell silently. The hard-working and respectable mother was thinking that she would come out to work and save some tuition for her and her sister. But as soon as my mother came out, she fell ill......

Hua Nianzhu saw Li Xinke and them coming, so she quickly stood up and gave up her seat.

In the three-person room, there are only two chairs. Another chair has been given to another patient's family member. There's only one chair left for that.

Although Hua Nianzhu gave up her seat, Li Xinke and Li Shanshan didn't go to sit on the chair.

Li Xinke walked to Du Muhao's bedside and reached out to tuck the thin quilt for her mother. In order not to wake up her mother, she gave Hua Nianzhu a look and motioned for him to take a step to speak.

Walking to the window, Li Xinke asked Hua Nianzhu softly:

"Brother Zhu Zi, I know that it was you and Sister Wanfu who helped my mother pay the medical bills, and you are still taking care of her here. I want to know, you guys...... Together...... How much did you pay for my mother's medical bills?"
