XXXVII. Searching for relatives encounters the baptism of illness

At five o'clock in the morning, the city of Ru, which had been quiet all night, finally began to be noisy again. Hao Yan, who was extremely tired, led her bicycle and walked on the bustling street. Looking at the street with fascination: there are many chicken coops with domestic chickens and ducks chirping non-stop, fish and shrimp in the aquatic cabinet jumping around, farmhouse specialties lying obediently in the field, people's daily necessities, school supplies suitable for dolls, small toys, snacks.

Behind everything are the stall owners, of course, who sit and stand. At the moment, these stall owners are smiling and shouting to sell the goods in front of them. Just see someone who is walking around, even if you don't have a basket on your arm. These stall owners will also introduce you with a smile on their faces: their things are the best in the world, the measuring scales are the most fair in the world, and the prices are the cheapest in the world. You will never feel that you have suffered a loss and feel aggrieved when you buy it! Next time, you will definitely remember: you must buy my things!

Then, it is those who really carry baskets: the "logistics officers" of each family, not to be left behind, open their teeth and sharp mouths: boss, you don't have to "sell melons - sell and boast" anymore. As the saying goes, "you don't lose money when you buy three goods", I will see with my eyes and listen with my heart. If you want to succeed in business, you have to be "honest" to me as a buyer. Otherwise, even if you "tell the truth" and go, it will definitely be absolutely useless!

Then, there is a cacophony of buyers and sellers haggling. Behind these stall owners is a row of clean, modest shops, with large wooden signs in front of them showing the scope of their owners' business. Along the way: rental bookstores, watch shops, barber shops, tooth shops, city supply and marketing cooperatives, car repair shops, cloth villages, city credit cooperatives, egg stores, city grain stations, city Xinhua bookstores, optical shops, photo studios----

And in the green belt outside the curb on both sides of the street, there are two rows of tall, burly French poplars and plane trees. At this moment, their huge tree heads with lush foliage are trying to absorb the dew from the sky to recuperate. In order to face the merciless aggression and bulldozing of the scorching sun, we are fully prepared. They couldn't bear to look at the people walking in a hurry below, their faces already drenched in sweat. From time to time, they will throw some droplets of water without hesitation, trying to create a shaded and refreshing air for people.

This situation, mixed with the noisy and lively noise, fully reflects: the prosperous scene of Rucheng City. It looks so breathtaking!

However, Hao Yan still couldn't forget the purpose of coming here in fear overnight. So, she immediately calmed down and sank into the heart of the bustling scene of the city. At this time, she felt that she was riding the potholed distance in the middle of the night after a busy and bumpy ride, and her stomach was "gurgling, gurgling": protest to her. His forehead and cheeks were hot, his head was a little heavy, and he was faintly dizzy. Hao Yan didn't know at all: at this moment, she already had a cold and fever. She also thought it was a sign that she was hungry and causing her to be unwell.

Hao Yan thought to herself: It's better to go to the military commission compound when you are full, and find your father and mother. She walked into a "breakfast snack bar" and bought a bowl of knife-cut noodles with onions, garlic leaves, and frangipani. In the past, when the second aunt was free, she would take the trouble to make this kind of knife-cut noodles, so that the family could occasionally taste it. She always ate a bowl, and shouted for the second aunt to hold another bowl.

However, today's Hao Yan is facing this bowl of knife-cut noodles, but she can't arouse her appetite in the past. There is also a feeling of disgust in the bottom of my heart, which sets off a wave of qi rushing straight to my throat.

Hao Yan turned around and rushed out of the door of the "Breakfast Snack Bar" knowing something, and quickly bent down to face the ground. Soon, the wave of air gushed out of her gaping mouth with her "wow, wow" sound.

A disgusting smell immediately rushed into the "breakfast snack bar". The owner, Shao Bing, is a short-tempered and strong-blooded man. He smelled the disgusting stench, clenched his fists angrily and scolded and rushed to the door, raising his fat fist to smash Hao Yan's head.

The wife, who followed closely with a heart, quickly stretched out her hands and grabbed her husband's wrists tightly and said: Shao Bing, it must be very uncomfortable for a girl to be like this. What are you doing here? Shao Bing listened to this voice, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was his wife who grabbed his wrist.

Shao Bing turned to his wife behind him and shouted, "Yaling, this child is like this early in the morning, at the door of our store." She's like this, but it's the biggest taboo for us to open a store and do business. For us, it's been eight lifetimes of mold! Why are you still helping her fight against me?

As he spoke, Shao Bing used his other hand to peel off his wife's hand. Pu Yaling knows: With her husband's personality, persuasion at this time is absolutely ineffective. It seems that we can only ask someone to restrain him first and then persuade him!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly signaled to the diners around her with her eyes: Hurry up and help her. Four quick-eyed men rushed up, tightly pressed Shao Bing and persuaded in unison: Boss Shao, this girl definitely didn't mean to be like this. You really have to listen to the hostess!

Only then did Pu Yaling withdraw her hand and say to her husband: Shao Bing, we are businessmen, and we must always know how to forgive and forgive. These seven words are absolutely and absolutely what we should keep in mind!

Pu Yaling patted her husband on the back and continued to persuade: Shao Bing, how can you only know how to put your own interests first and behave in the world. But I don't know: When opening a store and doing business, the most indispensable eight words are: Treat customers with sincerity and make money with kindness! You, I think it's better to go back to the room and carefully consider my words!

Then, he turned to the four men who were holding her husband and said, "Brothers, I have to trouble you and send him to the back room." At this time, Shao Bing said: Yaling, don't bother them anymore. Just now, I have already filtered all these words you said in my head. I see: you have all the right points. I'll listen to you!

The four men who held him down asked uneasily: Boss Shao, do you really understand? Shao Bing hurriedly nodded and said: Of course it is, you should let go of me quickly! The four men looked at Pu Yaling, and when they saw her nodding, they let go of the male shopkeeper. They each walked to their seats and sat down, continuing to eat a delicious breakfast.

Shao Bing hurriedly ran to the inner room, and Pu Yaling's heart fell with a heart. She quickly turned around and walked out of the store, and saw Hao Yan's face turn from ruddy to red. She was leaning against the wall of the snack bar with her eyes slightly closed, and her hands were still rubbing hard in her heart.

Oh, this girl must be sick like this. We must hurry up and send her to the nearby Municipal People's Hospital for treatment! Pu Yaling no longer cares about sweeping the front of the store: the messy stuff on the ground that smells disgusting. She hugged Hao Yan suddenly, and suddenly felt the hot heat of Hao Yan's body. She was so anxious that she shouted: "Child, you are still so young. But you must hold on! With a shout in her mouth, she had already picked up Hao Yan and came to the curb in front of the door, anxiously waiting for the bus to come.

At this time, her husband's anxious voice came from behind him: Yaling, give me this child quickly. There was a truck carrying grain at the nearby grain station, so I took her to beg the stationmaster of the grain station to help bring her to the hospital. Pu Yaling turned around and put Hao Yan on her husband's outstretched arms, and said eagerly: Shao Bing, you see that you are all troubled, you should take her to ask the stationmaster of the grain station first. I'll go home and get some of my clothes, take some money and go ---- Shao Bing heard this, and hurriedly said: Yaling, money, I have already brought a lot. You can find some clothes and leave this girl in the hospital to change!" As he spoke, his footsteps rushed towards the grain station.

Pu Yaling's hind feet had just stepped into the bedroom at the back of the store. An old woman in her sixties who was eating breakfast looked at the diners around her and said, "Oh, it's terrible for a girl to be like that just now." It's time to save her!

At this time, another man said coldly: The proprietress has really done her best! I'm worried: in case the girl's parents find out, they misunderstand the kindness of the family. Suppose, the girl wakes up and then has a "dead denial and a rake" with the family. In that case, these two people, however: thankless efforts - bad luck!

Another man forty years away smiled heartily and said, "Old woman, look at that girl's appearance, she is quite gentle and quiet." As for her parents, it is conceivable that they must be: a pair of honest and kind people. Absolutely never do what you think. You're always serious this time!

As soon as the middle-aged man's words landed, a young man sitting next to him didn't give up: Oh, this uncle, in this world, how can we casually believe that a girl who doesn't know each other?

At this time, Pu Yaling came out with a cooing bag. She clenched her fists and bowed to the diners and said, "Friends, I heard all the things you said just now. I would like to thank you all for your deep friendship, but no matter what the outcome will be, we and I will do our best to save the girl. Because, a child's life is absolutely more important than anything else. Our husband and wife will be out of company today!

Speaking of this, Pu Yaling looked around at the diners and said enthusiastically: After I left, if you have any food problems, just ask the cooking master and waiter in the store. If they can't solve it, I hope you wait until we come back. Then, she turned around and shook hands with the chefs and waiters one by one to say goodbye. At the same time, I said from the bottom of my heart: Friends, our store today depends on you to take care of it. I hope you will take the trouble to support!

Then Pu Yaling turned to her diners and waved, "My friends, go ahead and enjoy the food." I have to say goodbye and go to the hospital!" as she spoke, her footsteps echoing outside the "breakfast snack bar."

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties stood up and said to the diners who were talking just now: "Hey, if you want me to see, since everyone is so worried, we might as well choose four deputies and go to the nearby Municipal People's Hospital." In this way, we can not only testify for the boss and his wife, but also know the girl's condition!

As soon as the middle-aged man's words landed, there was immediately a round of applause around him, and there was a chorus: Well, yes, yes, let's go to the hospital after breakfast. I saw that the diners unanimously bowed their heads and swept the clouds. The whole hall was silent at once, so silent that you could hear a pin falling to the ground!

Okay, let's put aside the "breakfast snack bar" for the time being, let's continue to follow Pu Yaling to the Municipal People's Hospital to learn about Hao Yan's condition. Pu Yaling was worried that the head of the grain station would not agree: send the girl to the hospital for treatment, so she rushed to the grain station in a hurry.

Uncle Ding, the doorman of the grain station, knows this woman as the wife of Shao Bing, the owner of the "Breakfast Snack Bar", who came to the stationmaster to help save people just now. Uncle Ding saw from a distance: Pu Yaling's face was sweating, and he quickly squeezed a handful of cotton towels and rushed out of the communication room, came to Pu Yaling, handed over the towel and said with a smile: Big sister, look at the sweat on your face. Wipe it clean!

Pu Yaling didn't take the cotton hand towel, but just pulled the hands of the doorman in front of her, and said urgently: Uncle Ding, I have something to do with the head of the grain station. Uncle Ding hurriedly said: "Oh, the head of the grain station has already accompanied your husband and sent the girl to the Municipal People's Hospital for treatment." Wipe the sweat off your face!

As he spoke, Uncle Ding forcibly handed the cotton hand towel to Pu Yaling's hand. I couldn't bear to say: Big sister, this girl is not your child. I really don't understand, why are you so anxious?

Pu Yaling wiped the sweat on her face with a cotton hand towel without saying anything, and then smiled at the doorman embarrassedly and said: Uncle Ding, other people's children are also a life. I know that the girl is sick, how can I not be anxious? Thank you very much for your kindness, let's take our leave!

As he spoke, he took the wet towel to the sink in the reception room, washed it and handed it to the doorman. Turn around and run to the bus shelter at the nearby bus station and wait for the bus to the Municipal People's Hospital. However, Pu Yaling saw four diners in the restaurant, gathered in the bus shelter at the bus stop. She was extremely surprised and asked, "Hey, why are you here too?" Are you waiting for your relatives to return?

As if they had made an appointment, the diners said in unison: "The four of us are the representatives elected by everyone, and you can go to the hospital with you!" Pu Yaling suddenly remembered what she heard in the back of the restaurant and what those diners said. Finally, she understood the hearts of the diners. She was extremely moved and said: I, I really don't know what other words, can best and deepest express my gratitude to you!

The old woman, who was over sixty years old, said heartily: Oh, eldest niece, everyone is worried about the unpredictability of the world today. As she spoke, she took Pu Yaling's hand and said, "We've been waiting here for a while, and the car should be about to arrive." Well, don't be anxious!

The old woman couldn't help but ask Pu Yaling again: Hey, eldest niece, why did you go to the grain station just now? Pu Yaling smiled bitterly and said: I, I'm afraid that the head of the grain station will not agree to Shao Bing's request. Who knows, the head of the grain station has already sent Shao Bing and the girl to the hospital. Hey, we really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

The old woman smiled and said, "Oh, I see." It's no wonder, though, that you're so worried. Pu Yaling lowered her head and pondered for a while, looked at the diners in front of her and said: I understand everyone's kindness. Let's go home and do your thing!

As the two of them talked, the bus finally "coo, clatter", and the old ox staggered to the platform like a plough plow. Four diners flocked to the door of the bus like a swarm, urging the people who got out of the car to move quickly. Pu Yaling walked quickly in front of them, shook her head and said sincerely: You better go back quickly, and you must not delay your study and work because of our business! As she spoke, Pu Yaling pushed them back suddenly, turned around and jumped into the car, and closed the door with her hand. The bus then staggered away.

About half an hour later, the distance of four stations passed, and the Municipal People's Hospital clearly appeared in Pu Yaling's eyes. As soon as the bus stopped, she walked into the hospital gate with her cooing bag. Pu Yaling came to the registration desk and asked the doctor inside: Sister doctor, a girl with a cold and fever sent by the stationmaster of the grain station just now, which ward is she in?

The female doctor in the registration office hurriedly looked at the "Registration Form for Admitted Patients" in front of her, and after a while, she looked up and said: The girl's name is Hao Yan, and the ward is on the third floor of the third building, house number: 20. Pu Yaling was extremely surprised: Oh, you guys know her name so quickly. Could it be that I am mistaken? The female doctor smiled and said: her class and name were written in her school bag. This schoolbag is enough to prove the identity of this girl!

When Pu Yaling heard this, she hurriedly took three steps and two steps and walked outside Hao Yan's ward. Through the glass window above the door, she saw Hao Yan lying on the hospital bed with her brows furrowed, her lips trembling, her eyes slightly closed and taking a drip; Shao Bing was anxiously pacing around the room; the head of the grain station was holding his hand and constantly turning around, and his mouth was constantly saying comforting words.

Pu Yaling's heart suddenly froze: Oh, seeing that Shao Bing is so worried, Hao Yan's child must have a fever and burn a lot. Thinking of this, she was so anxious that she slammed the door with both hands, and the door slammed against the wall with a "bang". I saw that Hao Yan's body slammed into a spirit, and her eyes immediately moved. muttered in his mouth: Commander Yang ---- the Military Commission compound----

This time, Pu Yaling was even more inexplicable: Oh, listening to her voice, it seems that it has something to do with this Master Yang. Hey, how is this possible? The other two people in the room couldn't help whispering: Hey, what does this kid have to do with Senior Commander Yang? Suddenly, Shao Bing slapped his head and exclaimed: "If you ask Senior Commander Yang this question, you won't know!"

When Pu Yaling heard this, she also echoed: Yes, that's right. Shao Bing, I'll stay here to take care of Hao Yan. You hurry up with the head of the grain station and ask Master Yang about it! Shao Bing agreed: Madam, we will obey the order. Then, he turned to the stationmaster of the grain station and said: Brother stationmaster, let's go to the compound of the Military Commission.

As he spoke, Shao Bing turned around and wanted to leave. But he was stopped by the stationmaster of the grain station, and then he touched Hao Yan's forehead and cheek with his hand, and then said cautiously: Now, I'm afraid it's not the time. Only when Hao Yan's high fever has almost subsided, is the best time for us to go to Master Yang!

At this moment, the couple Shao Bing and Pu Yaling were completely stunned. The two of them asked in unison: "Brother stationmaster, why do you say that?" The stationmaster of the grain station said softly: If this child is the illegitimate daughter of Master Yang, and Master Yang sees that her high fever has not subsided, if his emotions can be calm, he will definitely be very grateful to you. However, if Master Yang's emotions can't calm down quickly, then you and your wife may be in trouble!

At this time, Hao Yan murmured again: Father and mother---- three adults ---- the Military Commission compound listened to Hao Yan's murmur just now, and felt even more incredible: Oh, listening to this child's words, it seems that Master Yang and his wife are her father and mother. But why is her surname Hao Mingyan? The adults were all silent, and the entire ward was immediately enveloped in a calm atmosphere. It's so quiet that it's almost suffocating!

In the end, it was Pu Yaling who first broke this unbearable atmosphere: Brother stationmaster, I think no matter what Senior Brother Yang thinks of us, we should let Senior Yang know as soon as possible that Hao Yan was admitted to the hospital with a high fever. This is the most basic responsibility and obligation of our life!
