Chapter 21: Heart-to-Heart (Recommend, Collect)
"How's it going, did she eat?" I asked after a while.
Tong Wangjun didn't reply to my words, and I couldn't help but poke my head down.
Chen Le still squinted, but I was relieved to be feeding.
"Give me the bottle. Chen Le was full and fell asleep again, Tong Wangjun tilted his head and said to me.
"What's wrong?" I handed the bottle in my pocket to Tong Wangjun, "Xiaole, she's sick and doesn't drink milk powder." ”
Tong Wangjun didn't talk to me, and twisted the bottle open: "Drink it." ”
"Huh?" I didn't understand what Tong Wangjun meant.
"I still have to go to work in the afternoon, and when I milk some milk, you can take it back and give it to Xiaole to drink." Tong Wangjun said.
I see.
Suddenly, I felt a little ashamed of Tong Wangjun.
When she answered my phone, she must have been at work, and she rushed over in half an hour, you can imagine how anxious she was in her heart, and the reason for all this was just because I took Chen Le to the flyover.
It was I who single-handedly caused the current situation, making Xiaole suffer and Tong Wangjun suffering.
"Will there be a problem when you come over when you come to work?" I drank the milk from the bottle and handed the empty bottle to Tong Wangjun.
Tong Wangjun squeezed the milk into the bottle, ignored me, and after a while, gave me the bottle, which was already full of breast milk.
I held it in my hand, and it was still warm.
"The potion is running out, you don't go out yet, what are you doing standing here?" Tong Wangjun said to me.
Tong Wangjun's demeanor clearly didn't want to say anything more to me.
I pushed open the mother and baby room, and she came out one after the other, Xu Heng stood outside, saw us coming out, and hurriedly ran to Tong Wangjun's side: "Are you okay?"
"Let's go. Tong Wangjun shook his head and handed Chen Le in his hand into my hand, "Chen Jin, I solemnly warn you, if you can't give Ah Ke and Xiaole a good life, I will entrust a lawyer to take custody of them from you." ”
"You are really too much of a failure, I thought that after you had a daughter, you would be motivated, but you still can't help yourself like this, you are idle all day long, and you can't even take care of your own daughter, don't you feel ashamed?"
Tong Wangjun counted me down again.
I was a little unconvinced: "Peace and security are blessings, and having money is not necessarily happy." ”
"You still have the face to say this, Xiaole's current situation, is it safe, isn't it because of your poverty?" Tong Wangjun glanced at me, "You can do it yourself, if there is a next time, I will send you a lawyer's letter." ”
"I will not allow a person who has no responsibility to take care of my daughter, and my daughter cannot be ruined in your hands. ”
After saying this, Tong Wangjun and Xu Heng left together.
The nurse came over and pulled out the needle on Chen Le's hand, and I took a cotton swab and pressed the eye of the needle on Chen Le's hand to get the medicine.
After taking some of the medicine, I carried Chen Le out of the hospital.
"Where are you going, in a taxi?" a taxi pulled up in front of me, and the driver asked me.
I shook my head, crossed the zebra crossing, and walked slowly in the direction of home.
I don't have any money left, not even the money to take the bus, and I'm really penniless now.
After walking for almost half an hour, I arrived home.
There is a plate of cabbage on the table, and rice is kept warm in the rice cooker in the kitchen.
I didn't come back at noon, Chen Ke cooked by himself.
I put Chen Le into the baby's bed, touched her back, sweated a lot, although the rosiness on her face went down a lot, but the cough did not disappear, and occasionally coughed a few times.
I took a few mouthfuls of rice, studied the usage and dosage of the medicine, gave Chen Le a paediatric aminophen xanamine granules, and forced her to drink half a cup.
The rest, I fed it to her mouth, she vomited it all, all over the clothes, I didn't dare to feed it anymore, wipe off the medicine stains on Chen Le's mouth and clothes.
Sitting on the edge of the baby's bed, I looked at Chen Le, played the hanging bottle, her condition seemed to be better, but the cough still did not go away, even if she fell asleep, she would still cough a few times.
I don't know if this situation is normal or not, but I think there are still two more injections to go, and when the remaining two injections are finished, it should be much better.
After all, it's only been a day of injections.
I touched Chen Le's forehead, it didn't seem to be as hot as when I first woke up in the morning.
Carefully moving the baby bed to the side of the bed, against the bed, I went out and knocked on the door of the woman next door.
"What's wrong?" the woman next door opened the door for me.
"Your leg isn't getting better?" I asked, looking at her limping.
"It's better. The woman's words seemed like casual perfunctory.
"By the way, do you want me to help you make some powder?" I said.
"No, the child is gone. The woman shook her head.
"Gone?" I was stunned, "what's wrong?"
Instinctively, I thought something was wrong with the woman's child.
"Nothing happened, I sent it away. The woman explained, looking at me, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
It was only then that I took a closer look at the woman, who was wearing cotton slippers at her feet, a beige down jacket over her knees, and pajamas on her calves.
She seemed to be sleeping just now.
This woman is leisurely, I don't see her working day by day, knocking on the door at any time, and I am almost sure that she is being fostered.
The man may have been here and took the baby with him.
"Your leg hasn't healed for so long, he took the child away, why didn't he take you to the hospital by the way?" I asked.
"Huh?" the woman looked at me strangely.
"Nothing. "I didn't say it again, after all, I don't want to talk much about this as an outsider, let alone such a sensitive topic.
Maybe the purpose of the man being with the woman is not only the woman's beauty and youth, but also because he wants a child?
Looking at it this way, the woman seems to be even more pitiful.
"I'll close the door if it's nothing. The woman said, gesturing to close the door.
"Don't, don't, I've got something. I busied, pushing the door with one hand and not letting her close it.
"Borrow rice?" the woman looked at me.
I smiled a little awkwardly, and said in the woman's smiling gaze: "There is still rice at home, do you have any money left?"
"You want to borrow money?" the woman said.
"Well, yes, two thousand dollars, is there?" I said, looking at her with a smile.
I have already used up the 2,000 yuan given by my family, Chen Le still has two days to get injections, and the money has not been given yet, and I haven't bought all the medicines.
After one injection, Chen Le's condition is better, but the cough has not stopped, and the remaining two injections must be taken, and it cannot be delayed, all I can think of is to find a woman to borrow money.
"Don't you have any friends?" the woman looked at me.
"Yes. I said.
"Then you borrowed from them, how did you find me here?" the woman seemed tired of standing and moved her feet.
"Aren't we friends when you say that?" I said, smiling at each other, pulling the relationship.
The woman rolled her eyes and glanced at me, "Do you know my name?"
I shook my head, never asked, and didn't want to ask.
"Don't you think it's weird that you don't know my name, and you say it's a friend?" the woman said.
"We are heart-to-heart, the name is just a code name, look at you like a fairy, like a fairy descending to earth, why are you so cheesy? Just two thousand yuan, I will pay you back. "I'm fighting for it.
"I'm sorry, I'm dusty, I can't help you, you better go find your friend. The woman stepped back, "I'm tired, I'm sleeping." ”
"Don't. I stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand, "You can't be so inauthentic, you should help each other, I will cook for you, smear medicine for you, and help you make milk powder, you have to know how to be grateful, in order to build a harmonious society, what do you say?"
The woman shook off my hand: "Did you think that there would be today, that's why you are so attentive to me, just to borrow money from me?"
"How come? Am I that kind of person? It's really a special case, I don't know who to ask for help but you. I said.
"What about those friends of yours?" the woman looked at me.
"I don't want to trouble them. "I'll be honest.
"But you want to trouble me, showing that we are not friends, and you just said that we are friends. "The woman found a hole in my words.
This woman is really logical, with such a good ability, maybe she can turn over and become the main room?
"I'm really in a hurry to use the money, lend me two thousand, and add five hundred, two thousand and five when I pay you back, how about it?" I calculated the interest.
The woman shook her head.
"Three thousand, three thousand, at most a month, I will definitely pay you back. I said, worried about Chen Le in the room, I was a little anxious, "My daughter is sick, I really have no choice but to ask you for help." ”
