Chapter 16 There is always some helplessness
Li Jie, sitting on the edge of my bed, chatting while feeding me.
"Xiaoxiao, are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better, my head is less dizzy now, and people are not so uncomfortable."
"Such an expensive needle, not in vain." As soon as Li Jie said this, I quickly asked, "How much?" ”
"More than a thousand, it's just three days' money, and you will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
As soon as I heard it, it was like killing me.
"Why so much money? My mother will be unhappy, I knew that it was so expensive that I wouldn't lose, you go and ask me now, can you retire tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? ”
"Xiaoxiao, how can this work? If you don't come for an infusion tomorrow, what if it burns up again? ”
I was anxious: "But, but my mother will not give me so much money." ”
"How so? Whose mother would not feel sorry for her daughter. ”
I had no choice but to tell Li Jie that my mother was a stepmother and that she was not very good to me.
Who knows, Li Jie sighed and also told me about her family.
She said that the reason why she lives with her grandparents is also because of this.
When she was a child, her parents divorced because of the involvement of a third party. She has a younger sister, who is two years younger than her, and her sister follows her mother. So, she was assigned to her father. But my father lives with Xiao San'er, and I think she is a drag. So, I sent her to my grandparents. Since then, I have lived with my grandparents. Her father only gave living expenses every month, and occasionally came to see her, and the relationship between her and her was very light. She also rarely visits her mom because she also has a family of her own. She felt as if she had become a superfluous person.
I didn't expect this Li Jie, who is giggling all day long, to have such a sad story behind it.
She and I are really the same fallen people at the end of the world.
Invisibly, our relationship has been brought closer by this similar fate.
I finished eating the porridge and looked at the infusion bottle, there was still a little and a half, and it was estimated that it would be over in about half an hour.
In my heart, I was still very worried about how to get this money when I got home.
"It's not over yet, but I'm good to catch up." As soon as he looked up, Chen Yingjie and Wang Feng appeared at the door of the ward together.
"Xiaolong, why didn't you go to the hospital at noon?" Chen Yingjie sat down in front of me unceremoniously.
"You're all angry! Your rags are big and not warm, and I'm cold. ”
"Hey, okay? I'll wait for you to come home with you. I nodded at Chen Yingjie.
Li Jie turned his head and asked Wang Feng: "The sports meeting is over?" ”
"Hmm."
After Wang Feng responded to Li Jie, he said to me: "I asked for leave for the teacher for you, and you don't have to go to the sports meeting in the next two days." ”
"Okay, thank you. That, the money for today's medical treatment, I'll go home and ask my mother for it and give it to you, okay? ”
"Of course, it's fine."
Having said that, I don't know the bottom of my heart.
More than a thousand, that's not a small number.
"It's over, Wang Feng, you ring the bell, it's on your side."
Soon, the nurse removed the needle and told me to remember to bring the injection card with me tomorrow.
I thanked the nurse sister, rubbed my hands, and slowly stood up.
Such an expensive medicine really works well. After the injection, I felt better than half of me. I don't have a fever, my head is no longer dizzy, I just don't have the strength left.
Li Jie helped me to the gate of the hospital, "I won't send you, Chen Yingjie will send you, I will go to help watch the stall." ”
I nodded, listened to her story in the afternoon, and understood her feelings about helping her grandparents.
Wang Feng and Chen Yingjie accompanied me all the way home.
The two boys had been chatting about today's game, and I was bored listening to it.
Suddenly, Chen Yingjie asked me: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you and Xu Qiuyun at noon, Liu Wei?" ”
I immediately recalled the situation at noon, I was dizzy at that time, and I couldn't remember exactly what happened, until I remembered that the two of them had a quarrel, and after that, Liu Wei took me to the hospital.
"Xiaoxiao, are you talking? I heard that Xu Qiuyun beat you? ”
Hearing him say that, I was so shocked that my jaw dropped.
Quickly said: "There is no no, there is no thing." ”
"Then the legend I heard is that Liu Wei quarreled with Xu Qiuyun for you, and Xu Qiuyun beat you in a fit of anger, so you went to the hospital."
"What is this? It's a mess. I went to the hospital because I was sick and had a fever, and Liu Wei and Xu Qiuyun had a quarrel at noon, and I was just in time. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, you ask Wang Feng what he paid for the doctor he accompanied me to."
Wang Feng nodded decisively.
Chen Yingjie continued: "That's it, then forget it." If it's really the same as the legend, I have to find Liu Wei to theorize. ”
"Don't mess with it, there's nothing to do."
"Xiaoxiao, Chen Yingjie is right, if that's the case, I will also seek justice for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you, in the future, you will be my bodyguards, okay! Hee-hee. ”
The three of us walked happily, and after sending me home, I returned Chen Yingjie's clothes to him, and he said, "Go in quickly, I'll accompany you to the infusion tomorrow." ”
I waved my hand and went in.
At home, my sister is lying on the sofa watching TV.
"Yingying, why are you watching TV? Didn't do your homework? Where's Mom? ”
"Sister, you're back, mom is in the kitchen."
"Oh, then I'll go to the kitchen first."
The kitchen is at the back of the building, a row of low-rise bungalows built next to the school yard wall. The teachers in this building are each assigned a room. Some people use it for clutter, some people use it for kitchen, and I once slept in it for half a year.
I nervously lifted the kitchen curtain, and my stepmother was chopping vegetables.
"Mom......"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Mom, I had a fever this morning."
"Oh, there's medicine in the drawer."
"Mom...... Today's fever is quite bad, and my classmates sent me to the hospital...... "I didn't dare to say my purpose directly in one breath, so I could only say it like squeezing toothpaste little by little."
"Went to the hospital?" My stepmom turned around, looked at me, and said, "So serious? It doesn't look like that right now. After saying that, he continued to cut her vegetables.
"Well, it's more than thirty-nine degrees at noon, and the doctor prescribed medicine and injections, so it's much better now."
"Oh, that's good."
"Mom...... Going to the hospital was the money that my classmates helped me to pay for, and I ......"
"Oh, how much is it for me?"
"It's a bit much...... More than a thousand. ”
"What? Why don't you grab it? It costs more than a thousand to have a fever, haven't you seen it before? You're trying to cheat money! Why are all this tricks used now! It's just incomprehensible. ”
"Mom, it's true, I didn't lie to you."
"The devil believes it. Even if it's true, it's good for you to come back and take some medicine, why do you spend so much money on going to the hospital? How can I give you so much money, and your dad didn't give me that much money......"
"Okay, okay, I don't want it, I'll figure it out myself." I really don't want to hear her involve my dad, my dad works so hard, for the sake of this family, he really bears the humiliation, I really don't want her to let her even count my dad for me.
When I lifted the curtain and walked out, I heard her voice behind me.
"I knew it was nonsense."
I really don't understand how my stepmother is so indifferent to me behind the scenes of being amiable and a teacher in front of others.
I went back to the house disappointed, and my sister was still watching TV.
