659 years of time

Under the urging of the "doctor", Zheng Kai ran to the road with Di Min on his back, and finally stopped a pure electric taxi and quickly went to the nearest hospital.

"Brother Kai... My bank card is in the left pocket of my jacket, and there are seven or eight thousand dollars in the password 940618 to treat the injury. ”

At this time, layers of fine sweat broke out on Di Min's forehead, and his face became a little distorted because of the severe pain.

It was Di Min's idea to go to the small clinic before, and the "doctor" was his friend. Zheng Kai didn't have a penny on him at all, and the seven or eight thousand yuan in Di Minka's card was all the savings of himself and the family behind him. As a last resort, he was really reluctant to spend the money on himself.

And now there is no choice, it is impossible for him not to take out this money, he knows his own injury, if this hand and foot are connected later, it will affect the basic function, then he will not even be able to do the goods at the freight station, just relying on that little share, his family can only eat the northwest wind!

"Good, good!" Zheng Kai nodded again and again, and quickly sent Di Min to the emergency room.

"Hello, are you a family member of a patient?" A young woman in her thirties, dressed in a white nurse's outfit, asked in a gentle and weak tone peculiar to the South.

Zheng Kai, who had just taken a breath, immediately replied: "That's right! ”

"Hello, please pay here!" The nurse bowed forward slightly, and gestured forward with her right hand.

Looking at the nurse's delicate curves, Zheng Kai hesitated slightly, and quickly replied, "Okay, okay." ”

Zheng Kai followed behind the nurse and went to the payment desk.

"Sir, please show me the patient's medical card."

Zheng Kai was stunned for a moment and then replied: "He doesn't have a medical card. ”

Zheng Kai knew that Di Min did not have a medical card, and at that time, the universal medical security card for the whole people, when he first arrived at Di Min's house, Di Min went to the prison and squatted in prison, but he didn't do it.

Later, once Di Min wanted to do something because he didn't have a medical card, and he complained to Zheng Kai about it, so he was very impressed.

"If you don't have a medical card, please pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan." The staff member in charge of collecting money thought about it and replied.

Zheng Kai was stunned, a penny was difficult to defeat a hero, and what he had on him was Di Min's card of less than 8,000 yuan, and he was penniless in addition.

Zheng Kai, who originally spent a lot of money and opened two bottles of aces of spades, was far from this number, and was dumbfounded by more than 2,000 yuan.

"Hello, I have almost 8,000 yuan on my card, you can treat it first, and I'll make it up for you right away?" Zheng Kai lay on the platform, stretched his neck into the small window, and his tone was slightly pleading.

This unruly and crazy man can no longer remember the last time he used honorifics in kindergarten or elementary school, but now he knows very well that as long as someone can save Di Min, it doesn't matter if he kneels.

"Knock knock!"

The staff at the cashier tapped the note on the glass with a water-based pen in his hand: Patients who do not use medical cards will pay a pro-rata deposit.

"I'm sorry, but the rules are very clear, and I can't help it." The staff smiled and spoke kindly, but what they said was extraordinarily impersonal.

Zheng Kai turned his head and looked at the nurse girl who was as gentle and intellectual as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River before, and asked, "Money, I'll make it up right away, I'll make it up right away." Nurse, can you ask the doctor to arrange for my brother's surgery first? Money, I'm really going to be there soon. ”

"Sorry, the hospital has hospital rules, and we, as hospital staff, cannot violate the hospital's rules."

The nurse shook her head very calmly, the smile on her face before was like a spring breeze, warming Zheng Kai's heart, but the moment she shook her head, she was so sure that she never had the slightest emotion.

One thing to say, in fact, the reimbursement rate of medical insurance in the seven cities is very high. For example, in Di Min's case, if he had a medical security card, let alone pay 10,000 yuan today, it is estimated that there would be three or four thousand yuan left of the seven or eight thousand yuan he gave Zheng Kai.

But because of his original troublesome and wanton life, now that it is useful, he will be trapped and unable to move an inch. This is not the responsibility of society, perhaps society is very realistic and ruthless.

But if you don't listen to the advice of others and have to be a "different person" yourself, then who is qualified to blame the cruelty of society?

The road ahead is often full of thorns, and eighty percent of your whims are just a dead end in front of you.

There must be a spirit of innovation, and there must be an idea of truth, but all this is not the same as self-righteousness, and everyone has to pay for the mistakes they have made.

"Whew!"

Zheng Kai let out a long breath and walked towards the end of the hospital corridor.

Sitting in the stairwell where no one was around, he shivered and lit the crumpled cigarette in his pocket with a lighter.

The phone was connected, and Zheng Kai took the initiative to shout enthusiastically: "Brother, I am Zheng Kai." ”

"Doodoo ......"

The other party didn't say a word, just heard Zheng Kai's name and chose to hang up the phone.

Zheng Kai's expression darkened, but he didn't give up, and then dialed the next number.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Kai lowered his head and stared blankly at the ground.

He tried everything and searched through the address book, but the longest person only heard him in the hospital, and hung up the phone mercilessly.

After many years of social road, he became more and more lost, and in the end, Zheng Kai found that no one was reliable except Di Min, who was lying on the hospital bed waiting for him to pay.

Zheng Kai, who gave up borrowing money, did not use other software to contact the so-called "friends" without skin and face, he patted the dust on his body, ran all the way downstairs, and took a taxi to return to a strange and familiar steel mill family area.

Why is this place both strange and familiar, this family area is where Zheng Mei and Zheng Kai lived more than 20 years ago, and it is also the only family property left to them by his parents.

The original steel mill has long since closed down with the wave of state-owning, and this family area is naturally unmanaged. In addition, a large number of workers were forced to lay off, and the family area became more chaotic.

The only few cars downstairs were parked and scattered, the stairwell was littered with all sorts of debris, and the filth in the corner was stenching.

And Zheng Kai didn't care about all this, he just wanted to hurry upstairs and take out the gold artifact that his mother gave him before she died.

The picture of his mother lying on the hospital bed and leaving, even after all these years, still vaguely appeared in his dreams.

"Open up, Mom doesn't have anything to pass on to you. In the future, when you marry your daughter-in-law, you will give her these two gold bracelets! ”

It was a relic left by Zheng Kai's mother who died of illness, full of reluctance and infinite sustenance for her son.
