Chapter 16: The End of the Road
Shanghai Tang, I, Lao Zhu, and Xiao A have never been here before.
If you want to say that the imaginary Shanghai mostly stays in the movie played by Chow Yun-fat, but when it comes to the ground, it is not the case at all, those graceful cheongsam women, those bloody street gangsters, all of them have turned into countless heads on the streets.
When I first arrived in Shanghai, my first impression of my brothers was squeezing!
A lot of people, a lot of cars, a lot of everything.
In the subway, on the bus, on the streets, it was densely packed with people, Europeans, Americans, Africans, everything.
In the end, Lao Zhu Yi and I combined, yes, let's take a taxi. No one can stand this crowding.
But when he really got into a taxi, Lao Zhu regretted it. The starting price of this Shanghai taxi is expensive, it is 14 yuan when we go up, and when we arrive at Xujiahui, the master flipped the sign, "Sir, 168." ”
The brother paid the money in disgrace, but he ran away. To be honest, just more than 100 of them, enough for a few brothers to eat several meals.
But the only thing I am satisfied with is that I finally arrived at the hospital that Fa Ge said, the Ocean Branch of Ruijin Hospital.
Lao Zhu thought more than me, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he first contacted the doctor Han that Fa Ge said.
It is said that this Dr. Han has an unusual relationship with the old man Fa Ge, and when he saw us coming, he didn't say a word, and quickly led Xiao A to do a check-up, and even the registration process was waived.
Here, Lao Zhu and I are guarding the door, really a little uneasy, to say Ruijin Hospital, not to mention Shanghai, in the whole country, the treatment of tumors is also famous, if even here can not help, we are really helpless.
However, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and soon, Xiao A's examination report came out, and like the previous two tests, the fact of cancer was basically diagnosed, but fortunately, it was far from the point where it could not end.
When Lao Zhu and I heard this, we were relieved, and the next thing we thought about was how to treat it.
In Dr. Han's opinion, there are two paths in front of Xiao A now.
Either conservative drug treatment, or radiotherapy, which is what we often call chemotherapy.
Lao Zhu and I are complete laymen about these plans, but when we hear the word chemotherapy, we are somewhat resistant.
There is no other reason, my brothers are all studying chemistry, and the dangers of radioactivity are better than anyone else, although chemotherapy has an absolute advantage in terms of effect and time, but the sequelae are also terrible.
Seeing that the two of us hesitated, Dr. Han gave us some time to think about it, and finally, for the sake of insurance, Lao Zhu and I decided to choose drug treatment, after all, the physical harm to people will be much smaller, but the treatment cycle may be a little longer, and we can't work hard for half a year.
So, from that day on, Xiao A set up camp in Ruijin Hospital.
However, there is also an unavoidable problem about the cost of hospitalization. Before coming, Fa Ge was stunned to transfer 30,000 yuan to Lao Zhu to Kari, but at the moment, it is obviously not enough.
According to Dr. Han's tone, how can it cost five or six hundred a day to be hospitalized, but even so, it is not something that Lao Zhu and I can afford now!
Thinking about it this way, the two of us really had a hard time. You must know that as far as Dr. Han said just now, he has already given enough face, and at this time, the most important thing is the cost of treatment.
To be honest, this time Fa Ge can have a heart-to-heart contact, Lao Zhu and I are already grateful, and at this time, I will ask him to borrow money, which is public and private, but it is not easy to speak.
Just when the two of us were in a dilemma, Dr. Han on the side obviously saw the clue, and said: "It's rare, it's rare, there are really not many people like you now, seeing you, I seem to see my younger self, so let's give you a trick, medical expenses, then I will apply with the hospital, and pay later, how about it?!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I dared to be kind, and immediately bowed to Dr. Han to express my gratitude.
After leaving Dr. Han's office, Lao Zhu always walked with his head buried and did not say a word.
As soon as I looked at this posture, I said in my heart that this grandson was not in the right state, and with his character, it shouldn't be. So he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, what do you think, like a philosopher." ”
Lao Zhu raised his head with a sad face, "Ah Peng, I'm thinking about a question, you said that if you send a brother for 30,000 yuan, it will last for two months at most, so where can we get the rest of the money?!" ”
I shook my head, to be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't dare to think about it at all.
Fa Ge's 30,000 yuan, plus a few thousand in the old Zhukali, is almost all of our belongings. The worst thing is that the two brothers don't even have a serious job at this time, and even eating is a problem.
After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the trickier it became, and at this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly said: "Ah Peng, let's either find a job in Shanghai." I think in two months, I can earn a little bit, what do you say?! ”
Lao Zhu's proposal is exactly what I want, in the final analysis, they are still brothers, and even the idea is exactly the same.
That night, Lao Zhu rented a small single room nearby and paid three mortgages and one for just 3,000. In his words, if the brothers want to fight this time, they will fight a protracted war, and it is better to find a job if they have a nest.
But I didn't expect the next progress, completely beyond our expectations, after a few days of submitting resumes, all of them were lost in the sea and there was no news, now I and Lao Zhu Ke really panicked, watching the time pass day by day, and the Spring Festival is coming in a blink of an eye, not to mention that I didn't earn a penny, and a month was wasted.
In the evening, Lao Zhu and I went to the hospital to visit Xiao A, and we could see that this kid's condition had improved a little, and his face was not as sallow as when he first came.
This kung fu, he was also happy to see the two of us, and quickly got out of bed and greeted, "Ah Peng, Lao Zhu, sit down." ”
I smiled, my brothers greeted me a little, Xiao A is tears flowed out, and Lao Zhu sighed, "Xiao A, what kind of airplane, who is not good at learning Lin Daiyu, don't cry in front of the two of us, it's annoying to watch!" ”
As soon as he said this, Xiao A gradually suppressed his tears, and before long, he cared about the current situation of the two of us.
At this time, how dare the two tell him the truth, Lao Zhu only talked about it, saying that he had found a job in Shanghai, and the treatment was not bad.
When he said this, Comrade Zhu's eyebrows fluttered, I estimated that he would believe such a lie, even he himself had to believe it.
But my heart is like a mirror, in fact, the situation of our brothers is actually very dangerous now. In the dark, there is a feeling of the end of the road. Shanghai is so big, with thousands of high-rise buildings, why don't you even give me and Lao Zhu a place to live?! ”
