It was just dawn, and in the small room, it was "cold...... It's so cold! The little girl on the bunk under the double-shelf bed muttered.

Curled up under the quilt, his whole body twitched twice from time to time, and his delicate little face was red and red.

"Yaluo, obediently, it's not cold when my mother holds it." A beautiful woman in her mid-thirties unbuttoned her buttons and wrapped the child in her arms.

The slightly rough hand touched the girl's forehead, "It's so hot!" ”

"Zhanshuo, Zhanshuo! Come down quickly, go downstairs to find Uncle Xiang, what about Luo'er's fever? Lu Jiangdan shook the bed in shock.

After a long clatter, a woman came from the next room and shouted rudely, "Hey, it's noisy, and you can't let people sleep!" ”

With a "bang", a boy fell from the top bunk, climbed to the side ......of the bed without caring about the pain in his buttocks, and said, "Mom, what's wrong with Mom." ”

Another little head poked out of the bed and asked, "Mom, what's going on?" ”

"Zhan Shuo, Zhan Yan, Luo'er has a fever again! Go downstairs and find Uncle Xiang! Lu Jiangdan shouted.

"Oh!" The boy called Zhanshuo didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he opened the wooden door barefoot, and ran out on his feet.

"Bang ......" jumped a boy from the top bunk, "Mom, I'll go get some cold water and put it on my sister's forehead." ”

"Zhan Yan, go, go." Lu Jiangdan waved his hand quickly.

"Luo'er, don't scare your mother, okay? You can't get an accident! Lu Jiangdan hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

Zhan Yan walked in with a basin of water, pulled down a towel from the rope that was pulled on top of his head in the house, put it in the water, wet it, wrung it out, folded it a few times, and put it on Luo'er's forehead.

Lu Jiangdan quickly got up and put on his clothes, otherwise he would be embarrassed for a while.

"Uncle Xiang, hurry up, hurry up, my sister has a fever again." Zhan Shuo slammed the door open, and pulled Uncle Xiang, who was in his fifties, staggered in.

"Uncle Xiang, come and see Luo'er." As soon as Lu Jiangdan saw the old man coming in, he said anxiously.

"Good! Don't worry, don't worry, let me see. Uncle Xiang put the medicine box on the lower bunk, opened it and took out a stethoscope from it.

Gu Zhanyan took a small stool and put it in front of the bed with a very eye-catching look, Uncle Xiang smiled and said obediently, put the stethoscope on his ear, Lu Jiangdan untied the child's cover, and placed the round earpiece on the little girl's chest.

The earpiece in his hand changed places from time to time, and after a while, his brow gradually furrowed as he withdrew the earpiece.

Looking at this Uncle Xiang's appearance, Lu Jiangdan's heart gradually sank to the bottom, "Uncle Xiang, isn't the situation good?" Let's be honest! ”

Uncle Xiang put away the earpiece and said, "Mrs. Gu, Luo'er has a lung problem, I'm afraid the injection won't get better, and I need an infusion." ”

"That's it!" Lu Jiangdan, who was known as Mrs. Gu, hesitated.

"Mrs. Gu, there is no delay at all now, hurry up to the hospital, the child's brain will burn out later." Uncle Xiang looked at the child's burned red face and lips.

"I know, I know!" Lu Jiangdan nodded hurriedly.

This upstairs and downstairs neighbor, Uncle Xiang also knows what the situation of Mrs. Gu's family is, a woman with three children, there is no man in the family, and the family's livelihood is pressed on her It is indeed difficult.

Going to the hospital means spending money, not counting the medical expenses, and you have to give red envelopes, if you don't send money, you can't even get boiling water and urinals. For families who are not wealthy, it can be said that it is even worse.

Uncle Xiang said, "That's it! Mrs. Gu, I will give the child a fever reduction injection first, and then give the child some medicine. It doesn't matter if you give the money later. ”

Uncle Xiang can only do this, living in the room separated from this tenement building, there are several wealthy families, and he usually shows the neighbors that he has a headache and a brain fever and can take care of his own life.

"Thank you, thank you Uncle Xiang." Lu Jiangdan said busily.

Uncle Xiang gave Luo'er an injection to reduce fever and some medicine......

"Uncle Xiang, give it to me!" Gu Zhanshuo took it and said.

"Mrs. Gu, you have already made plans! Don't delay. Uncle Xiang closed the medicine box and said.

"I'll send you Uncle Xiang!" Gu Zhanyan said.

After sending Uncle Xiang out, Gu Zhanyan turned around and saw that his eldest brother and mother were drinking medicine for Luo'er.

In the hallway, a woman in her forties, five big and three thick, stood reclining against the door frame. The bangs in front of him, who was rolling himself in a plastic roll, looked at the first aid kit in his hand and asked. "Uncle Xiang, who got up so early, is anyone sick?"

"It's the landlady! Early! Uncle Xiang said hello and said, "The youngest daughter of Mrs. Gu's family is sick inside." ”

"Yo! At this time, I was sick, and I didn't know if the New Year would be good, and the Spring Festival was less than a week away. The landlady asked with concern.

"Maybe it's okay to go to the hospital!" Uncle Xiang said casually.

"Why do you have to go to the hospital for this disease! It's a bottomless pit! Then I'll have to get her to ask for rent, or ......," muttered the landlady.

When Uncle Xiang heard this, alas...... He talked too much, and said remeally, "Mrs. landlady, you can do it!" It's not easy for a woman with three children, and the children are sick again, so the rent can't be delayed for a few days! ”

"Yo! This is a pity for the jade, but this is also true, the figure of the person, that appearance, that seems to have given birth to a child. The landlady said sourly, "You are a widower, and the other has no husband." ”

"Say what? This ruins the reputation of others. Uncle Xiang immediately said with a straight face.

"Since you don't have that mind, you're nosy when you're full, Uncle Xiang should pay this month's rent! I'm still waiting to buy New Year's goods? The landlady put her hand in front of him and said, little by little, this big-footed girl squinted at him, very arrogant.

"Mrs., postpone it for two more days, and I'll collect the ......," Uncle Xiang said curtly when it came to the rent.

"It's only two days! Don't wait until Chinese New Year's Eve to let me chase after my ass. The landlady gestured with a pair of scissors.

Uncle Xiang hurriedly went downstairs with his tail between his legs.

"Ahh Poor ghost, rotten gambler! The charter lady mocked, "Humph! If it weren't for your medical skills, even if you were able to pay the rent on time, my mother would have blown you away. ”

The sound insulation of the room is not good, and the mother and son in the room can naturally hear it clearly.

"Mom, let's go to the hospital first!" Gu Zhanshuo continued, "Luo'er's illness matters! ”

Lu Jiangdan picked up the cover covered by the quilt and put on the silent buttons.

Gu Zhanyan lay on the ground and took out a clay pot from under the bed and said, "Mom, you can use this first, Luo'er's illness is important." ”

Lu Jiangdan raised his eyes and looked at the clay pot in front of him, his heart was sour, and he said with red eyes, "This is the tuition fee for the next semester that you and Zhanshuo have worked hard to save." ”

"Mom, there are priorities, and Luo'er's illness matters." Gu Zhanshuo picked up the clay pot and smashed it with a bang, picked up the money on the ground, and the steel hammer.

"Noisy!" The little girl lying on your bed was dizzy, her eyes couldn't be opened no matter how hard she tried, but her ears could hear clearly, "It must be Ah Si watching a bloody TV series again!" ’

"Mom, it's about to be the New Year, my eldest brother and I can go to the street to pick up some cartons and soda cans and sell them for money." Gu Zhanyan said.

"That's right! Yes! During the Chinese New Year, there are the most gift boxes, and there are many people who drink soda. Gu Zhanshuo agreed.

"Then hurry up and get dressed, let's go to the hospital." Lu Jiangdan urged his sons, and quickly dressed Gu Yaluo in his hands and wrapped them in blankets.

The brothers put on their clothes and locked the door, while Lu Jiangdan went out with Luo'er on his back.

The three of them cautiously walked out of the tenement building, for fear that the footsteps would alarm the landlady.

I went to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, three blocks away, and was reprimanded by the female doctor, "How can you be a mother, the child is burned like this, and you are not afraid of being burned into an idiot!" Lung disease kills. ”

"Doctor, can my daughter's illness be cured?" Lu Jiangdan asked worriedly.

"Fortunately, it came in time, but I made it clear to you in advance that because the condition is more serious, imported antibiotics will be used, and the price is ......," the female doctor looked at them.

It's not that she judges people by their appearance, but judging from their clothes, their family background is just average, and I don't know if they can afford the medical bills.

"As long as I can cure my daughter, I will give it as much as I want." Lu Jiangdan hurriedly said, if you don't have money to borrow, you have to be treated.

As she spoke, she slipped another envelope and gave it to the doctor first.

The doctor touched the red envelopes, looked at what they were wearing, and forgot it, and did a good deed that day.

"Good ......," the doctor prescribed, "go and pay the money!" ”

"Zhanshuo, Zhanyan, you guard the snails, I'll pay the money." Lu Jiangdan explained it and went to pay the money.

The nurse led the three siblings to the ward first.

And Lu Jiangdan went to pay the money, and after getting the bill, she quickly took out a handful of money from her pocket, including banknotes and steel hammers......

Kankan paid for the medical bills and gave the child medicine.

The mother and son were in this ward, guarding the little girl for two days and two nights, and during the day Lu Jiangdan had to go to work in the plastic factory, only the two brothers were guarding, and they were not idle in their hands and were busy pasting paper boxes.

On the morning of the third day, after the doctor checked the room, the nurse came to urge the payment with a cold face, "Gu Yaluo for bed No. 4, bed No. 5, Li Qin, it's time to pay." ”

"Ahh I know. Lu Jiangdan raised his eyes and looked at the nurse and whispered.

"Grab the money! It's only been a few days, and the money runs out. Father Li, who was in the next bed, shouted dissatisfiedly.

Mother Li tugged at the sleeve of the head of the house and said, "What are you yelling about?" If you don't pay, it's time to stop taking the drug. ”

The couple suddenly frowned, and Father Li took out his cigarette irritably.

"Smoking is not allowed in the ward, please go out." The nurse's eyebrows rose and she said coldly.

Father Li stood up embarrassedly.

Gu Zhanshuo and Gu Zhanyan stood at the door of the ward holding a thermos flask and listened clearly.

"Brother, you go in first!" Gu Zhanyan handed the thermos flask in his hand to Gu Zhanshuo and said.

Gu Zhanshuo grabbed his wrist and said, "Why are you going?" ”

Gu Zhanyan said, "I'll borrow money." ”

Without waiting for Gu Zhanshuo to say anything, Gu Zhanyan ran away directly.

Out of the hospital gate, Gu Zhanyan turned around to look at the hospital, bit his lip tightly, and ran up.

Gu Zhanshuo hugged the thermos flask and entered the ward, "Mom, you're hungry!" I boiled some white porridge. He said briskly, "Mom, Luo'er looks much better, you look at your face back to normal." ”

"Mom, let's eat first!" Gu Zhanshuo poured out the white porridge and said.

"What about you brothers!" Lu Jiangdan took the porridge he handed over, held the porridge bowl and said.

"We've eaten at home." Gu Zhanshuo looked at her in disbelief and said, "I've really eaten, the school is on vacation, we don't eat much, so it's just not hungry." He urged, "Mom, you eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Lu Jiangdan also knew that if he didn't eat, he wouldn't have the strength to work, and how to take care of the children if he didn't have the strength to work.

After gulping down the porridge in the bowl, Lu Jiangdan picked up the cloth bag in his hand and hurriedly went to work, planning to borrow some more money from the workers.
