The mother was sick.

With all the money in his hands, he carried his mother into the cart and hurriedly pulled him out.

When he went out, he happened to meet the old captain, who entrusted him to look after the house with his white hands.

In fact, the commune health center could not cure my mother's illness at all.

In addition to the disability caused by polio, the mother has two chronic diseases, one is asthma and the other is congenital heart disease.

Usually, my mother can't get out of bed, can't work, and at most does some manual work. You can't get angry, you can't see the wind, you can't cure your illness, but as long as you stay at home carefully, you'll generally be fine.

Today, the weather is warm, the eldest son is working in the field again, the mother is in a good mood, and she wants to get out of bed to cook for the eldest son, and accidentally falls, which is why she is sick.

In the commune health center, two hanging bottles were hung, injections were given, and medicine was taken, but my mother did not improve.

The doctor confessed to his hands and suggested that he send his mother to the county people's hospital for a comprehensive examination, preferably hospitalization.

The white hand had no choice but to pull the mother home.

In the evening, Bai called the two brothers and sisters to their mother's room, "Mom, tomorrow I will take you to the county hospital to see a doctor." ”

The mother said, "Hand, I'm not going." I can't cure my illness with money. ”

"If you can't cure it, you have to cure it. It couldn't be cured before, but now it may be cured. ”

"Hand, we don't have any money. You can't throw your money in the hospital. ”

Bai Shou turned to his younger brothers and sisters, "You say, do you want to treat our mother?" ”

The younger siblings spoke in unison, and they were all determined that they had to treat their mother.

Bai Shou made up his mind to take his mother to the county seat tomorrow.

Early the next day, he went out with his mother on his back and rushed to the county seat by the first boat.

Before leaving, Bai Shou told his second brother Bai Dang to take the responsibility he should bear, in addition to taking care of the house, not to cause trouble, but also to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

The mother can't resist her eldest son, but she is afraid of spending money, her illness is a bottomless pit, and the most money can't cure it, let alone a family like her.

I used to go to the county hospital once, and that was many years ago, that is, since then, my father has developed a problem of running away from home.

When I arrived at the county people's hospital, it was just time to go to work.

The white hand put the mother down first and made her sit on the bench and wait.

This is the first time I have entered the county people's hospital with white hands, and I don't understand anything, and I don't know what to do when I stand there.

Finally, when I saw a female doctor in a white coat, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Doctor, save my mother, save my mother." ”

The female doctor walked up to Guo Cai'e and asked, "Little comrade, what kind of disease does your mother have?" ”

He took out the medical record issued by the commune health center with his white hand and handed it to the female doctor.

The female doctor looked at the medical records, then listened with a stethoscope, and then looked at her eyes and tongue.

"Little comrade, your mother needs to be hospitalized immediately."

Guo Cai'e said: "Doctor, I am not hospitalized. Hand, mom is not hospitalized. ”

The white hand asked, "Doctor, what should I do?" ”

The female doctor patiently said it.

"Thank you, thank you." Sending the female doctor away with a white hand.

"Hand, we can't afford to spend this money." Mother said.

"Mom, don't worry, we have money, we can afford to spend it."

"Hands." The mother was in tears.

"Mom." Bai Shou paused and said: "If you don't listen to me, let's jump into the Mucheng River, and let the second, third, fourth, and fifth children go to be orphans to ask for food." ”

The eldest son was angry, and the mother stopped talking.

Running to register with white hands, after registering the number, he took the registration slip and carried his mother to the outpatient room.

What the white hand didn't expect was that it was the female doctor sitting in the outpatient room.

The female doctor said, "Little comrade, I probably know about your mother's illness. I'll give you a hospitalization bill now, and let your mother live first. I'll open a few more orders and take your mother to a full check-up tomorrow. ”

The white hand nodded in response.

More than half an hour later, Guo Cai'e was already in the hospital.

The ward has six beds and is occupied by patients, and Kwok Choi-e is the fourth.

The nurse came in and hung up the hanging bottle for Guo Cai'e.

Guo Cai'e fell asleep peacefully under the gaze of her eldest son.

Looking at his mother with white hands, he was thinking about the money in his pocket.

It cost forty yuan to pay the hospitalization fee in advance, and the money pocket of the white hand was deflated by more than half at once.

When I went out this time, I took all the money with my white hand, which was probably less than seventy yuan.

Among them, there are still fifteen yuan that should be paid to Mr. Liu.

But there is nothing to say about treating his mother, and he does not hesitate to bankrupt his family.

The white hand made the next step, and as a last resort, he sold the family's five and a half pigs.

As long as he can cure his mother's illness, he is willing to sell himself, and he is willing to do it with white hands.

The next day, I paid for my mother's examination, and it cost another fifteen dollars.

In front of his mother, he was calm and calm with his white hands and never mentioned the word money.

Of course, pretending is only in front of the mother.

The three patients in the same ward happened to be from Chengguan Town, and they all had units, and they and their families looked down on the white-handed mother and son from the beginning.

I slept on the ground with my white hands all night, and the torn coat was the quilt, and I slept soundly and sweetly.

The mother and son also felt an unfriendly gaze.

In this regard, the mother was very indifferent and did not care at all.

The same is true of white hands, as if the rest of the room is air.

The doctors and nurses treated them equally, and they didn't look down on the countrymen, which reassured the white-handed mother and son.

After staying for three days, the doctor didn't say anything except hanging bottles and taking medicine.

Looking at my mother's face, she slowly recovered her rosiness, and her asthma stopped.

On the fourth day, the old captain appeared with Fang Yulan and Chen Cuihua, and when they left, they each left ten yuan.

Those who can come to visit in the village, and can take some money to support the Bai family, are the only ones.

The idea of the white hand is very clear, and he also solemnly stated to the servants that he must pay them back first when he has the money.

The fifth day was Sunday, and the two siblings came to the hospital together.

Seeing the children, the mother's spirits improved greatly.

The white hand also had time to go out of the hospital to find Teacher Liu Ruyin.

Teacher Liu was washing clothes at home, and listened to Baishou talk about his mother's hospitalization, so without saying a word, he threw down his clothes, took some money and went out with Baijia.

"Xiaobai, your mother is hospitalized, why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Teacher Liu, I know you're busy. Besides, I still owe you money, and I'm afraid I can't pay it for ......the time being."

"Don't talk about it, what kind of money are you talking about at this time."

When she arrived at the hospital, Ms. Liu first comforted Guo Cai'e, and when she was teaching in Baicun, she had a very good relationship with Guo Cai'e.

The second and third children used to be students of Teacher Liu, and they also affectionately called "Teacher Liu".

"Sister Guo, since you are here, stay for a few more days and let the doctor take a good look at your illness." Teacher Liu said.

"Sister Liu, thank you."

Teacher Liu got up to say goodbye and motioned for her to come out with her with white hands.

"Xiaobai, have you asked the doctor about your mother's condition?"

"No, no."

"What a silly boy, come with me and I'll help you ask the doctor." Teacher Liu walked as he walked.

What Bai Shou didn't expect was that Mr. Liu and the female doctor were old acquaintances.
