Chapter 20: There Is No Free Lunch
The problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation all need to be solved.
Nowadays, the Lin family brothers and sisters do not have high requirements and pursuits for the standard and quality of life, and they do not pay attention to dressing up, in fact, their idea is very simple, that is, to get through the current difficulties as soon as possible. The rest of the dry food can only take care of them for two days, and after two days, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to eat a full meal.
The road to find their father was difficult, more difficult than they imagined, and they lost their money when they got on the thief ship, and after they got off the ship, they encountered a bloody disaster......
However, it is gratifying that they do not have to worry about the place to stay for the time being, and they can use the single room arranged for them by Shihe Hospital as a ready-made free hotel.
Coriander used the teapot to make half a cake for the coriander, looking at the light boiling water in the teapot that could no longer be light, I felt quite uncomfortable-
This kind of non-nutritious thing can only be satisfying, and it is not much good for the injury of coriander at all.
As soon as she put the teapot into the coriander's hand, she heard a soft noise at the door of the ward, and it was Dr. Feng who came in without knocking on the door.
Dr. Feng just came to get close to the Lin family brothers and sisters under the guise of "ward rounds", and when he saw the lunch in the hands of coriander, he couldn't help but be surprised, "You just eat this!" ”
Coriander had explained to Coriander in advance, and anyone in Shihe Hospital accosted him, so if he could ignore them, he would try not to ignore them. If you say too much, you will lose, in case you say the wrong thing and expose your stuffing, let the people here know that their relationship with the second master is not as they imagined, I am afraid that they will not be treated so well in the future.
At that time, the place where they lost their lives is small, and whether the coriander leg can be healed or not is the most headache for their brothers and sisters.
Coriander held the teapot and was silent.
Dr. Feng couldn't help but have doubts.
The vice president of the dignified Rongji Chamber of Commerce, how could there be such two shabby relatives?
Coriander interrupted his doubts in time, "Doctor Feng, may I ask you what's the matter?" ”
In any case, these two people were personally arranged by Fuji Yantang in the living hospital, and he personally said that these two poor sour ghosts were his distant relatives, and these two points alone deserved Dr. Feng to treat them as guests.
Doctor Feng dispelled the worries in his heart and said seriously, "I'll take a look at how Brother Ling's injuries are recovering." ”
He lifted the quilt and pretended to examine Coriander's injured leg, "How are you feeling today?" If the wound hurts, I'll give you another dose of painkillers. ”
Coriander held the tea jar in one hand and his thigh in the other, and got the coriander look in her eyes, and answered Dr. Feng's question truthfully, "When I woke up this morning, the wound was a little painful, and now the wound doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy." ”
"It's itchy, it means that the wound is slowly growing, I think your physical fitness is good, if ordinary people are injured like you, at least two or three days later, they can feel like this......"
Doctor Feng babbled on a lot of irrelevant words, and finally instructed the coriander what to pay attention to, and then reluctantly left the single room.
Coriander finally had time to eat lunch, and he held the teapot to his lips, but it was cold to the touch.
"It's cold."
Coriander was really annoyed by Dr. Feng, and she couldn't find a good excuse to let him go for a while, so she had to show an impatient expression and deliberately let Dr. Feng see it, but fortunately he was still a good acquaintance.
"Give me this one, I'll make you a hot one after I'm done."
Coriander flipped the thermos on the bedside table and shook it twice, the boiling water in the jar was not much, but it was enough for another pot of hot water to make cakes.
Coriander stretched out her hand, but Coriander didn't hand her the teapot.
He knew that since the water fell back from the coriander, it had left a sick root and something that could not be touched.
"Forget it, I'll eat it anyway!"
"Have you forgotten what Dr. Feng told you just now, you can't eat cold things now." Coriander reminded him.
Coriander was a little arrogant, "I can't eat cold things, and you can't eat either!" He glanced at the mushy blister cake, and suddenly lost his appetite, so he simply pushed the teapot to the coriander, "Let's pour it out!" ”
Coriander didn't know that their remaining dry food was simply not enough for two days.
"Okay, then I'll go and pour it out, and I'll get another pot of boiling water by the way." Coriander left the single room with a tea jar in one hand and a thermos in the other.
She promised Coriander that she would pour things out, but in fact, she just skimmed the cold water in the tea jar, mixed it with half a jar of boiling water, and drank the soup in it with relish.
On the way back to the store after getting hot water, Coriander saw several nurses walking together holding lunch boxes of uniform shape and color in their hands, and her mind moved, so she stepped forward to ask, "Sister nurses, where did you get your food?" ”
A few nurses looked down on him and were reluctant to take care of her, but a kind nurse said to Coriander, "Our meals are all made in the cafeteria." ”
There is a canteen in the hospital, and coriander is not unexpected.
She grinned toothily twice, and leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Is it free?" ”
A person next to the kind nurse had pointed ears, and when he heard the words of coriander, he immediately sneered, and raised his toes arrogantly: "How can it be free!" Haven't you heard that there is no such thing as a free lunch? ”
"That's it!" Several others chimed in.
There were even two nurses who didn't hide it and threw a few blank eyes at the coriander.
Being sneered at in public, Coriander didn't show a trace of embarrassment.
The kind-hearted nurse was indeed cramped and smiled apologetically at her, "The canteen of our Shihe Hospital does not provide free meals, and every staff member of the hospital will have sixty meal tickets every month, and one meal ticket costs three copper yuan......
Before the kind nurse finished speaking, she was pulled by one of her companions, "What are you doing with her so much, let's hurry up and eat, we will have to go to work later!" ”
The kind nurse wanted to cry without tears, and was about to apologize to Coriander, and went to listen to Cilantro thank her.
"Thank you."
Coriander's wishful thinking failed, and there was a little disappointment in my heart. When she saw the nurses holding uniform lunch boxes in their hands, and thought that Shihe Hospital would provide free meals, even though she knew that such a good thing would not happen, she still wanted to try her luck......
Coriander walked away, and the nurse who had been kind enough to communicate with her jumped to her feet in frustration, and then scolded her companion, "Why are you doing this! ”
Her companions all looked displeased.
"What are we!"
The kind nurse pointed in the direction where Cilantro had left, "Do you know who she is?" That's the person who was personally sent to our hospital by the second master yesterday! ”
Her companions looked at each other, some in shock, some in panic, and others in disbelief.
"She was the person who was personally sent to our hospital by the second master yesterday?"
This is a big news that has caused a sensation in Shihe Hospital, from the director of the hospital to the door in the hospital, no one does not know about it.
"No, it won't! Didn't they say that they were distant relatives of the second master, how could the second master have such distant relatives? ”
Anyway, it's right that the city people look down on hillbillies.
"Then I just ...... Then I just ......"
offending her is tantamount to offending the second master!
The little nurses recalled the inappropriate and polite performance just now, and they all trembled, wanting to make amends, but they couldn't find the figure of coriander......
