Chapter 51: The Visitation
However, Shui Yao felt that what should be said should be made clear in advance.
"Uncle Chen, I'll take the money first. However, we should borrow the right from you, and when the family gets through the difficulties in the future, I will definitely pay you back a lot of money. ”
When Chen Ping'an heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Niece Shui, where is this?" What do you borrow or not, your father has always regarded me as a brother, and he has helped me a lot at work, but this time because I was seriously injured, to put it mildly, what is this twenty yuan? I don't hesitate to do anything about him, even if I go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, this money is used to save his life, this is what I owe Brother Quan, if you still leave it so clear and insist on paying me back, then I will really have no place to shame myself, and my conscience is uneasy! ”
Looking at Chen Ping'an's guilty and uneasy face, Shui Yao let out a long sigh and comforted lightly.
"Uncle Chen, what do you think you are talking about? Since you just called me my niece, I won't be outside of you. As you just said, this money is for my dad's life, but at the end of the day, it's your hard-earned money. ”
"Even if my dad saved you this morning and was injured because of this, I think it was his instinct, and his brotherhood with you had nothing to do with money. So no matter what, we're never going to keep the money for our own, and I'm sure even if my dad were standing here right now, he would say the same, so don't try to persuade me anymore. ”
After some persuasion, Chen Ping'an nodded helplessly, and then solemnly assured Shui Yao: "During this time, as long as there is any free time, I will always stay with you in the hospital to take care of Brother Daquan, if you need help in other aspects, you can just talk to me, don't be polite."
When Shui Yao and Chen Ping'an entered the ward, it had been a full hour since they set off. Because they had been worried about Shui Daquan's injury, the two got off the donkey cart and went straight to the hospital as fast as possible. Looking at the people sitting around the hospital bed and his father with a plaster on his arm and a bandage on his forehead on the hospital bed, Shui Yao's heart suddenly pinched under the stimulation of the pungent smell of disinfectant water all over the room.
"Dad, I'm here......"
A thick nasal voice mixed with crying came into Shui Daquan's ears, causing him to sit up from the hospital bed at once. Seeing this, the girl with a big head and red eyes dissipated most of the anger that had accumulated in her heart for several days about Shui Yao's private business.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, it's just that there was a little accident in the mine this morning, Dad is fine, okay!"
After speaking, Shui Daquan raised his arm as if unintentionally, and showed a soothing smile towards Shui Yao. It's just that such an action made him inadvertently pull the wound, and the whole person immediately gasped in pain.
"Hiss......"
The grinning in front of Shui Daquan made Shui Yao angry and distressed, so he hurriedly stepped forward, walked towards him in three steps and two steps, first greeted his colleagues who worked with Shui Daquan in the coal mine politely, and then became angry.
"Dad, you're here to comfort me! I'll see if you're doing well now, don't forget that my eyes are bright, and you can't fool me at all with this little trick! ”
"That's it, Lao Shui, don't be reckless, your arm is not light, I don't think it's better for a month, you just honestly explain it to your daughter!"
When Shui Daquan heard this, he pouted helplessly: "Lao Zhao, hurry up and close your crow's mouth, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"
Looking at his father, who was gagging with his colleagues, Shui Yao felt quite interesting, and couldn't help but sneer. Then, she picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water into the enamel jar, handed it to Shui Daquan, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
Seeing that several people were happily getting along, Chen Ping'an, who had followed all the way over, lowered his head deeply, cramped, as if his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't even speak very neatly, and he was choked heavily as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Daquan, I brought Yaoyao to you. Today's truth is that I'm very sorry, it's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't have been so badly injured......"
Before Chen Ping'an could finish speaking, Shui Daquan waved the hand that could move freely without care.
"Alas, peace, why are you being polite to me here? Today, you also know that the situation is so critical, if I don't step forward to block it, the stone will definitely hit you on the head, and we can't say what the situation will be at that time. So, you don't have to feel guilty, this is what I should do, not to mention, I have a serious injury on my arm, and I believe that it will be fine after a period of rest, so my value is this one! ”
After speaking, Shui Daquan glanced at Shui Yao: "After all, I still have to thank you today, if you hadn't found someone to write a certificate to the village chief, how could I have been admitted to the county hospital so easily?" Besides, didn't you bring my daughter here for me? ”
As soon as the words fell, Shui Yao put down the enamel jar and told Shui Daquan the truth about the morning: "Dad, Uncle Chen has done more than that, and more!" When he saw me this morning, he had to stuff me with twenty yuan for life or death, for fear that you would not have enough money for hospitalization and medicine......"
As soon as Shui Yao finished joking, his colleague Zhao Yonggang on the side seemed to remember something, and slapped his head violently.
"Oh, Lao Shui, Lao Chen, I forgot such an important matter! That is, Daquan's injury this time is completely a work-related injury, and the cost of treatment will be solved by our mine in the future, so you don't have to worry about it anymore, so since the incident has happened, guilt and self-blame are useless. The most important thing at the moment is to let Lao Shui take care of his arm, he is the top business in our mine, without him, the performance of our first team will definitely lose to the second team......"
Zhao Yonggang's words were to the point, and in just a few words, the worries and estrangement between Shui Daquan and Chen Ping'an were resolved, and Chen Ping'an finally let go of the burden in his heart.
Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the face of the water circle showed a tired look, and then they left one after another. After Shui Yao sent a few people away, he closed the door lightly and went downstairs to the attending doctor, but the other party's words made Shui Yao's brows lock tightly.
"Little girl, although the injury on your father's body is not life-threatening, after all, this arm is injured, and there may be sequelae in the future. Looking at the registration materials, it says that he is a coal miner, so when he is discharged from the hospital, he will not be able to do all that menial work......"
At this moment, the doctor's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Shui Yao. After the shock, there was a wave of distress.
Shui Yao is well aware that for a coal miner, limbs are as important as life. Especially his arm, once he is injured and his movement is not good, then his career can be regarded as coming to an end.
And Shui Daquan was able to work from a temporary worker at the bottom to today's position, although the efforts he made were not clear in a few words. It was precisely because Shui Yao understood Shui Daquan's love for this job, as well as the tenacity and arrogance in his bones, that she couldn't imagine what kind of blow Shui Daquan would suffer if she knew the truth.
The attending doctor's words made Shui Yao panic. She didn't know how she would answer if Shui Daquan asked about her illness later. At this moment, in the face of reality, Shui Yao, who has experienced countless setbacks, has a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
In fact, for Shui Daquan's work in the coal mine, Shui Yao did not agree with it 100% in his heart. Although in the eyes of outsiders, workers are a very decent profession, and countless people are squeezed into the factory to work, and there are dozens of dollars of wages to receive every month.
But Shui Yao, who knows the future development trend well, knows that this society will soon usher in the tide of doing business, and will continue to move towards knowledge and informatization in the future. And a hard, tiring and dangerous occupation like a coal miner is not a long-term way to make a living.
Moreover, Shui Daquan is not young, and over the years, the long-term underground operation has buried a lot of hidden dangers for his health. Therefore, Shui Yao wants to persuade Shui Daquan to change his mind and change his way to make a living, otherwise, he will be riddled with diseases in the future, and he will use the money he earns to change to a healthy body, which is a fool's dream.
Therefore, this is why Shui Yao has tried Shui Daquan three times and twice before. If she just wants to do business on her own, she can secretly carry out it behind Shui Daquan's back, and Shui Yao also has a meaning to open the way for Shui Daquan by doing so. After all, in this era, they are all bold, starving to the timid, if anyone grasps the business opportunity and occupies the market first, how can they make a lot of money.
But Shui Daquan's attitude towards extreme rejection of business is extremely tough, which really makes Shui Yao worried. However, seeing that the work of the coal mine is absolutely impossible to do, "the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time". Shui Yao said everything this time, and he made up his mind to change Shui Daquan's mind, if it doesn't work once, he will persuade him twice, and if he can't do it in one day, he will persuade him for three days, five days, and a few months. After all, if you don't try it, how can you understand the mystery of doing business?
Shui Yao figured out the reason, and his steps were much lighter than before. But as soon as she arrived at the staircase and turned the corner, Shui Dayou's harsh words came out through the crack in the door, which made Shui Yao's good mood disappear without a trace.
"Big brother, what do you say about this? Why did the two of us come here to see you laughing? We heard that you were injured, and we were worried that it was too late, so don't take kindness for donkey's liver and lungs......"
