Chapter 38: Sugar
"By the way, we can also help you appeal in the newspaper, how can a family like yours afford the heavy medical expenses, and when the time comes, everyone can help you raise donations, and the hospital can help you reduce some medical expenses." Qiao Yan's eyes lit up, "And that Shenhu Hospital is a private hospital that no one has heard of, even if you don't charge money, don't let your mother see it there, in case the condition is delayed, it will be even worse, you still have to go to a regular public hospital to see a doctor." ”
Xia Yao nodded heavily, she didn't have much prejudice against private hospitals, several big families controlled several private hospitals, these hospitals are not famous, but both hardware and software are far beyond ordinary public hospitals, but Shenhu Hospital is different, the bottles of fake medicine left by Dr. Lin made her label this hospital unreliable.
Completely relying on the help of these people, taking money and things, it is unacceptable to her, she is willing to take advantage of the situation, but she is never willing to be attached, not because she has backbone, it is really the lesson of the previous life is too painful, and pinning her hopes on others is far from relying on herself to be reliable.
At that time, she was desperate, she attached to power, made a disgraceful chess piece, and taught herself a lesson in this life at the cost of her life, and she must take her fate into her own hands in this life.
"Brother and sister can't help you, you can use the money to buy something to eat." Xiao Yuntian looked at Xia Yao's clear and transparent eyes, and always wanted to do something more for her, he had seen a lot of people from difficult families, but it was rare for her to be self-reliant and self-reliant, at least he had never seen anyone push the help sent to the door.
"Yes, you are growing your body, you must ensure nutrition." Although Xia Yao has eaten well during this time, her body still looks much weaker than her peers, especially the long-term malnutrition makes her face very small and her eyes look very big.
Especially Qiao Yan, she took out all the cash in her wallet without saying a word, fortunately, she is usually used to swiping her card, and she doesn't have much cash on her, otherwise her help will make her colleagues unhappy again.
Xia Yao shook his head, his attitude was very firm, "Thank you!" But I can't take the money, I can live my life, and if I accept your material help today, I will depend on it tomorrow, and I don't want to become an insatiable beggar who depends on others. I know that my brothers and sisters are kind people, and you are willing to help my mother find a doctor, which is already the greatest help to our family. I believe that there must be many families in Yunliu City who are even more difficult than our family, and they need everyone's help more than us. ”
Listening to her words, even Xiao Yuntian couldn't help but wet his eyes slightly, such a child is not only strong, but also kind, if there are more people like her, the society will definitely become better, he secretly made up his mind to write her simple words into the report.
If Xia Yao knew his idea, she would definitely feel ridiculous, she just found a random reason to refuse, how could it be as noble as they thought.
"How could you think that? My sister really wants to help you. Qiao Yan was in a hurry.
Xia Yao smiled, Qiao Yan's generosity always reminded her of Song Yuyan's charity in her previous life, and they didn't seem to be very willing to consider the feelings of the recipients when giving alms.
However, unlike Song Yuyan, Qiao Yan is even more arrogant, although she was still a little mustard at the beginning, but after contacting her, she felt that she was a heartless lady, and there was still a gap between Song Yuyan's fairy daughter who was as white and flawless as a white cloud in the sky, which made her feel a little close.
Xiao Yuntian cut off Qiao Yan's words in time, "Okay, brother and sister don't force you, this is my brother's phone, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just call your brother, as well as your school and your mother's illness, we will definitely do our best, if nothing else...... Don't worry! ”
Xia Yao understood the weight of his promise, solemnly took his business card, and thanked him gratefully.
At this time, Qiao Yan seemed to think of something, and ran downstairs while they were talking.
It wasn't until Xiao Yuntian and the others were about to leave that they ran back out of breath, "Xia Yao, this is a little bit of my sister's heart, they are all snacks that children love to eat, not something valuable, you must accept it." ”
Both Xia Yao and Xiao Yuntian were a little surprised, Xia Yao was just about to refuse, Qiao Yan immediately cut off her words, "This is what you bought from the commissary downstairs, it's just some snacks, it's not any material help, we didn't prepare anything when we came to your house for the first time, and it's not very polite, you must accept it." ”
Xia Yao watched her run sweating profusely, and her heart was inevitably a little moved, she was really not the same as the kind of daughter she thought she was.
"Thank you, sister!" She thanked sincerely.
She grinned and rubbed her head embarrassedly, "It's just a little snack, no thanks." ”
Xiao Yuntian secretly thought, in fact, Qiao Yan's nature is not bad, but it is a pity that it is too simple and not suitable for the social news section.
After sending them away, Xia Yao looked at this big bag of snacks a little helplessly, in fact, she was not very interested in these snacks such as candy and potato chips, and the only thing that was barely nutritious after picking and choosing was a few bags of ham sausages and vacuum-packed braised eggs and bread, as for the candy......
She glanced up at Xia Fanglian, with a gentle smile on her face, her mother loves candy the most.
"Mom, this is sugar, taste it, is it sweet?" She peeled off the candy wrapper and gently poured the candy into her mother's mouth.
Xia Fanglian opened her mouth obediently, squinting slightly because of the sweet taste coming from the tip of her tongue, "Xiao Yao, it's so sweet, it's sweeter than the banana we ate yesterday, Xiao Yao also eats ......"
"Okay, Xiao Yao and mom eat together." She was tired of being in Xia Fanglian's arms, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
"Xiao Yao, don't you want to go to class today?" Xia Fanglian suddenly asked suspiciously, looking at the calendar on the wall blankly, "It doesn't seem like it's a weekend today." ”
"Well, today the school has a sports day, giving us a half-day holiday." Xia Yao casually made up a lie, she originally wanted to go to the Education Bureau to complain today, but since a reporter has already come, she doesn't have to go on this trip, just wait and see what happens at home.
Xia Fanglian nodded, looking at her lovingly, "Xiao Yao, go buy a set of sportswear, my mother wears sportswear in physical education classes and sports meetings, at that time, my mother liked to wear white sportswear the most, with a red pattern on it, but it looks good, your father likes your mother to wear that sportswear the most......"
Father? Xia Yao stared at Xia Fanglian with a pair of eyes, not letting go of any change in the expression on her face, she also wanted to hear more clues about that man.
It's a pity that Xia Fanglian didn't go in that direction, blindly immersed in the good old days, her eyes flashed with a gentle light, "Xiao Yao must look good when she wears it, mom will look for it later, maybe she can find it." ”
Xia Yao was immediately deflated, Xia Fanglian didn't have much time to talk about that man, and every time it was so short-lived, she didn't know where to start.
"Mom, don't look for it, I think my clothes are pretty good now, sturdy! I don't like to wear tracksuits. Xia Yao said with a smile, there are several sets of clothes in the cupboard, some of which were prepared for them by her grandfather before leaving, and some of which were old clothes donated by kind-hearted community aunts, she knew very well that there were no sportswear in the cupboard, and if she couldn't find it, she might get sick again in a hurry.
"Xiao Yao, you've grown up." Xia Fanglian sighed and touched her head, "Mom hasn't taken good care of you all these years. ”
