Chapter 126: Poverty

Ai Le has lived for more than 20 years, and he may not be able to count the number of times he has eaten, but today's meal is the most nervous, embarrassing, and apprehensive meal he has ever eaten in his life, and eating this meal in Ai Le's words is more tiring than running ten marathons, but he is tired and happy, and eating with the girl he likes is a happy thing anyway.

Ren Qianxue didn't talk much, Ai Le was so nervous that her mouth was not good, and she didn't know what to say, this meal was really a little dull, after sending Ren Qianxue away, Ai Le thought that he didn't seem to say anything when he ate just now, and he wanted to slap himself a few times, wasn't he quite able to fool before? Why is your mouth so bad today?

Depressed and depressed, but Ai Le and Ren Qianxue finally took a step forward, this seemingly small step made him in excitement all afternoon, and he worked harder and harder, whoever has a job he rushed to do, just like he had endless energy, Liu Yan and others were also like this, Ai Le was always much better than the previous state of being soulless and absent-minded, and at the same time they were also a little envious of Ai Le and his youth.

When he was about to get off work, Ai Le suddenly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and turned in circles in the office, making Liu Yan and the others dizzy, and finally Liu Yan couldn't help it, and called out to Ai Le: "What are you kid always turning around?" What's wrong with it? ”

Ai Le smiled awkwardly, walked to Liu Yan's side and said with a little emptiness: "Teacher Liu, do you think I won't send her home at night?" ”

As soon as Liu Yan heard this, he immediately gave Ai Le a kick, and shouted impatiently: "Do you still need to ask about this?" Send it, the car key is not with you, you don't have to be stupid and send it back directly, take someone to have a meal, eat well, you don't have a card for Scala, just go there, girls like to eat Western food, hurry up. ”

Ai Le rubbed his hands and said nervously, "What if she doesn't go with me?" ”

Liu Yan gritted his teeth and scolded: "You are a waste, don't say it's my apprentice, if she doesn't go with you, you won't pull her hard, where is your shameless energy?" Hurry up and get out, it's annoying to look at you. ”

Thinking of this, he took off his white coat and put it on the chair and was about to leave, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw an old rural lady wearing a patch standing there with a nervous, embarrassed, and worried expression, one hand raised in the air, obviously to knock on the door.

I was very surprised to see this old lady Ai Le, but not because of her expression, many patients or family members come to the hospital with this expression, after all, the hospital is a place to treat diseases, no one is okay and is not happy to come, if you really come, you must be sick, and you will definitely be a little nervous and worried about coming to the doctor for your own illness or that of your relatives.

What surprised Ai Le was the old lady's dress, now the countryside is no longer as poor as it was a few decades ago, the national policy is good, and agriculture is supported, and now some farmers are richer than the city people, even if some people are not as good as the city people, but they will not wear patched old clothes, this is the real reason for Ai Le's surprise.

The old lady looked to be seventy or eighty years old, her silver hair was a little messy, it seemed that she hadn't washed it for several days, her face was full of wrinkles like knives, her face was black and yellow, it looked like she was malnourished, and the old lady was very thin, as if a wind could blow her down.

The old lady is not tall, and now she is hunchbacked, which makes her look shorter, she wears a pair of old rubber shoes on her feet, the shoes are full of mud, and they look very dirty, such shoes Aile only watched people wear them when he was a child, and he has not seen such shoes for more than ten years now.

The old lady saw Ai Le subconsciously take a step back, she seemed a little timid, she didn't dare to face Ai Le, lowered her head and said in a somewhat trembling voice with dialect: "This ...... This ......"

The old lady didn't know what to call Ai Le, and "this" didn't say a reason for a long time.

Seeing that the old lady was nervous like this, Ai Le hurriedly said in a gentle voice: "Auntie, I am the doctor here, are you here to see a doctor?" ”

As soon as the old lady heard this, Ai Le's eyes immediately changed to respect and hope, she stretched out her thin hand and bowed softly: "It's not me, it's my old man, he has a stomachache and pain for several days, and the village doctor in our village said that he can't see it, let us come to the city to have a look, and we will come here." ”

As soon as Ai Le was about to speak, a five or six-year-old girl who looked like a mud monkey ran over, she hugged the old lady's hand and said in a milky voice: "Grandma and grandpa said they wanted to go home, and he said he was fine." ”

Speaking of this, the little girl saw Ai Le, she was very afraid of life, and hid behind the old lady at once, but the next second she poked her head out and glanced at Ai Le with some curiosity and some fear, and then quickly retracted her head.

When the old lady heard her granddaughter's words, her face was full of anxiety and embarrassment, she opened her mouth to say something to Ai Le, but she didn't match the preface and the afterword, and Ai Le was confused.

At this time, an impatient voice came: "Why haven't you found the doctor yet, my fifth uncle is in pain." ”

Ai Le followed the direction from which the voice came and saw a man in his forties, wearing a white vest on the upper half of his body, an old dress similar to a tunic, and a pair of gray trousers on the bottom, and his heels and shoes were covered with mud.

Elle said to the man, "Are you?" I'm the doctor here. ”

This person's name is Zhang Shouliang, the fifth uncle in his mouth is called Zhang Quancai, and the fifth aunt is called Lotus, but there are very few people who know it now.

When Zhang Shouliang heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand, but the next second he put it down and rubbed it several times on his body before raising it again and said, "Dirty hands, dirty hands." ”

As soon as Ai Le shook hands with him, he immediately felt that Zhang Shouliang's hands were very rough, and there were many calluses on them, obviously this person often did farm work.

Zhang Shouliang put down Ai Le's hand and nodded, and said with a smile: "Doctor, we are from Zhangjia Village, my fifth uncle has had a stomachache for many days, and he can't stand it, can you take a look?" ”

Ai Le didn't dare to agree immediately, he didn't shirk, but he was now a rotation doctor, and he was not on duty with Liu Yan in an afternoon, there was a special doctor on duty, if he crossed the doctor on duty to see a patient privately, it would be too disrespectful to the doctor on duty, so Ai Le asked Zhang Shouliang and them to wait a while, he turned around and went into the office to explain the situation.

Ai Le is very popular outside the general public, and he works hard, so will that doctor dislike Ai Le, a rotating doctor who rushes to work and does it cleanly?

He said that Wang Xiaodong, who was on duty, didn't let him go, not because he didn't trust Ai Le, but because he wanted him to go to Ren Qianxue, it was almost time to get off work, if he was going to see a patient who was too delayed, he would leave when he saw that Ren Qianxue was not going to make trouble.

Ai Le knew Wang Xiaodong's kindness, but he still insisted on going to see it, although he has a temper like a donkey, but he is very good at being a man, Wang Xiaodong is also his teacher, people say that if you don't let you go, you really won't go? If he really did this, what would Wang Xiaodong think of him?

Wang Xiaodong didn't stop him when he saw that Ai Le insisted on going, smiled and asked him to take a look, and quickly called him if he didn't understand something.

Ai Le put on the white coat and went out, and the old lady immediately said urgently when she saw Ai Le coming out: "Doctor, please show my old man quickly, he can't stand the pain, I beg you." After saying that, the old lady was going to kneel down for Ai Le.

Ai Le hurriedly hugged the old lady and said at the same time: "Auntie, don't be like this, I'll go, I'll go." ”

Although they are rural and have little education, they know how to respect doctors, which many people in the city will not do and do not disdain, and in the eyes of such people, doctors should treat them as a matter of course.

They are indeed right, what do doctors do? It's not just to treat the sick and save people, but they don't know how to respect the doctor, pointing fingers on the side, their words and deeds are full of distrust, and they just put the doctor like a thief, but they don't know that the only one who can save them or their relatives is the doctor.

In contemporary times, many people will say the word respect, but how many can really do it? Doctors are one of the most in-demand professions, and they need the respect and trust of patients and their families the most, which is almost impossible to find in modern times.

Ai Le walked away, and after the corner of the corridor, he saw a rural old man wearing a patch and a very thin body, but his stomach was bulging high, lying on a simple stretcher.

Ai Le walked over and squatted down and said, "Uncle, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The old man's face was dark, his skin was like a dry orange peel, and his body exuded a sour smell, obviously he hadn't taken a bath for a long time and hadn't changed his clothes, hearing Ai Le's words, Zhang Quancai tried to open his eyes, and the first thing he said was not that I was in pain, but that he said: "I'm fine, the doctor let me go home, just lie down for a few days." ”

Zhang Shouliang, who came over, said hurriedly: "Fifth uncle, don't make trouble, you have been in pain for more than half a month, and the king of the village said that he couldn't cure your illness, so we brought you here, and if you feel uncomfortable, tell the doctor, and the doctor will cure your illness." ”

Zhang Quancai's eyes opened suddenly, and he shouted with all his strength: "I said it's okay, it's okay, go home, go home." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Quancai immediately became painful again, but this time he gritted his teeth and tried not to make too much noise, he was using this way to prove that he was okay and could go home.

Zhang Shouliang suddenly screamed when he saw this scene: "Fifth uncle, why are you doing that? My fifth aunt, and a few dolls are counting on you, what if you let them go? Fifth uncle, I beg you, let the doctor show you. Speaking of this, Zhang Shouliang, this seven-foot man, actually knelt down for Zhang Quancai with a pop.

Ai Le was blinded, what the hell is going on.

The old lady came over and knelt down with the support of her granddaughter, and said with tears: "Old man, this family depends on you, if you have three long and two short, what will you let us do?" I know you feel sorry for money, but life is more important than money, you can rest assured and let the doctor treat you, I will go back to find the Zhang Shouye, if he doesn't give money, I will die in front of his house. ”

Zhang Quancai's closed eyes flowed out two cloudy old tears, and the tears slowly slid down his dark skin like dry orange peels, rushing out two slightly white tears, and he said sadly: "What are you doing with that beast?" What do you do? Can he give you money? Old woman, let's go back, I'm dead, the money is left for you and the dolls, and you can eat for a few days, if the money is still in the hospital, I won't be able to live, you and the dolls will starve, listen to me once, just this time, I beg you. ”

After Zhang Quancai said this, he struggled to sit up with the pain, but Ai Le hurriedly held him down and said, "Old man, what are you doing here?" If you're sick, you need to be treated. ”

Zhang Quancai was in a terrible pain, his body was not only hot, but also trembling, he opened Ai Le's hand irritably and roared: "Treatment? What do you want me to do? The old man's whole family is four hundred and thirty-seven fast six, is this money enough? Is it enough? You go, you go. ”

Ai Le looked at Zhang Quancai blankly, he didn't expect that the old man in front of him would be able to come up with this money, he couldn't believe it, how could this be possible? But seeing what they were wearing, especially the little girl who didn't even have shoes, and was wearing a pair of dirty and old shorts on the lower half of her body, he had to believe it.

Zhang Shouliang stood up and looked up at the sky, he, a seven-foot man, actually shed tears, he stretched out his hand to wipe his tears and squatted down in front of Zhang Quancai and said: "Fifth uncle, I will carry you back, you can rest assured, if I have a bite to eat, my fifth aunt and a few dolls will eat, let's go home, go home." ”

The words "go home" in the end were almost shouted out, and his voice was filled with a heart-wrenching sadness.

Seeing that Zhang Shouliang was about to leave with Zhang Quancai on his back, Ai Le suddenly stopped them and said: "Put the old man down first, he is very sick, and if he really goes back, his life will be gone, can you listen to me?" ”

Zhang Shouliang smiled innocently, and said in a sad tone: "Thank you, doctor, but we really don't have any money, so we won't trouble you, just let us go." ”

At this time, Ren Qianxue appeared at the corner of the stairs, she looked at Ai Le stopping Zhang Shouliang and the others, her brows furrowed, she walked over and said, "What's the matter with Ai Le?" ”

Ai Le looked at Ren Qianxue on one side, and hurriedly explained the situation clearly in a few words.

Ren Qianxue saw the dirty little girl's heart twitch fiercely, she took out her wallet from her bag, took out all the money and said, "I have more than six hundred here, use it first, it's not enough for me to get it, there are still some in the card." ”

Ai Le didn't expect Ren Qianxue to suddenly pay for it, he had a new understanding of this girl he liked, but this would not be the time to think about this, he said to Zhang Shouliang: "You put the old man down first, don't worry about the money, it's important to treat the disease first, the money is not enough for us to pay, I really can't go to the dean, our dean is a good person, he will definitely take care of it." ”

Zhang Quancai shook his head slowly and said: "Doll, you are good people, but I can't trouble you, I'm old, and I'm dead, it's just ...... It's just that my aunt and these dolls are suffering, I ......" The old man couldn't go on, and tears slipped down drop by drop.

Ai Le hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't talk about it, you have to follow me for treatment." (To be continued.) )
