"She had an acute appendicitis attack in the dormitory in the middle of the night last night. Fortunately, her colleagues in the hotel helped to send her to the hospital in time. Otherwise, something will happen. Su Wenyan's tone revealed a trace of exhaustion.

"Acute appendicitis?" Lu Yuan exclaimed.

Su Wenya continued: "Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and the excision operation was done in time, and now there is nothing to do. It's just that we also tossed along for a whole night. ”

"Wen Yan, your future sister-in-law really has nothing to say, it's hard work!" Lu Yuan was relieved, and hurriedly asked, "Which hospital are you in?" ”

"Zhe Er."

"Then I'll go with George to see, what floor is there in the second inpatient department in Zhejiang?"

“……”

Su Wenyan hesitated on the other end of the phone, and finally said, "Okay, then you can go." I'm cooking porridge here, and I'll send it to my brother and sister later. ”

Su Wenyan explained the specific bed in the ward again, and hung up the phone.

Lu Yuan hung up the phone, turned around, and just saw that Ma George had finished washing up, and was handing over the shift at the front desk with the network manager who came to take over.

Estimating that Ma George's handover was almost over, Lu Yuan stepped forward.

Ma George saw Lu Yuan coming over and said, "Brother Yuan, I can do it, let's go!" ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Shao Gang and the two of them, are you going to have lunch with us today?" ”

"Huh? What's the matter, I'm not free at noon today? ”

Ma George was slightly stunned, and then said: "That's it, let's make an appointment another day, I'll write the program, and I'll make things for you as soon as possible." ”

"It's not that I'm not available, it's that something happened to Shao Gang."

Immediately, Lu Yuan told him about Shao Gang's sister suffering from acute appendicitis in the middle of the night, and said, "George, you can go to the hospital with me." Sister Shao Gang is also our sister, they don't have any relatives in Hangzhou, we don't go to visit, who do we expect to visit? ”

As soon as Ma George heard that it was this reason, he took a piece of clothing and followed Lu Yuan out.

Lu Yuan knew that Ma George, a kid, was bored at home, but for the brothers in their 305 dormitory, it was absolutely righteous.

From the Red Spider Internet Café where Ma George works to the Second Hospital of Zhejiang, it is quite a long way to cross the river.

The two hurriedly got on the bus, transferred trains and bought fruits, and spent more than an hour to arrive at the Second Zhejiang Hospital and found Shao Xiaojuan's ward.

Shao Xiaojuan lives in the most ordinary kind of ward, with four beds side by side in a small room, and a shared bathroom, which is a little crowded in space. A curtain can be drawn between the beds to facilitate the doctor's examination.

It was almost 12 o'clock, and most of the people who visited the patients had already left, and those who remained in the ward were the families of the patients. But the two looked around at the door and didn't see Shao Gang's shadow, so they could only look at the bed by bed.

The first three beds were all older, but on the innermost bed by the window, there was a thin little girl, with yellow hair, sporadic freckles on her face, and even her lips were bloodless, and she was squinting and sleeping.

She should be Shao Gang's sister Shao Xiaojuan.

Just look at her stunted appearance, at least a year or two younger than her peers. If it weren't for Lu Yuan's repeated confirmation of the name at the end of the bed, he really wouldn't dare to recognize it.

But at this time, Shao Gang and Su Wenyan were not there, and the little girl was still sleeping, which made Lu Yuan and Ma Georgie a little hesitant, and they didn't know how to step forward. At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Shao Gang came out of it with a freshly washed bowl and throwing water.

"Why are you two here?"

For the arrival of Lu Yuan and the others, Shao Gang was obviously very surprised. After all, he didn't have a mobile phone, and Su Wenya couldn't inform him that Lu Yuan was going to visit Xiaojuan for a while.

Lu Yuan put the fruit in his hand on the low cabinet by the windowsill and said, "I called Wen Yan and wanted to make an appointment to have a meal together, and then I knew that such a big thing had happened." How's my sister? ”

"Much better. After a while, Wen Yan came to deliver food. Didn't I wash the dishes first? Find your own place to sit, sit as you please. Shao Gang's mood was not high, his face was tired, and the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshots, it seemed that he was really tossed last night.

"You sit down and rest for a while, and we'll find a place to sit ourselves." Ma George said, finding a stool and sitting down.

"Yes, don't need Zhang Luo, let's take a look, don't worry about us." Lu Yuan waved his hand and sat on the edge of the bed.

At this time, Shao Xiaojuan, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, heard the conversation between them, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Yuan and the others with her eyes dripping.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, let's wake up the patient with noise." ”

Shao Xiaojuan looked at Shao Gang timidly and asked, "Brother, who are they?" ”

"Xiaojuan, we are all your brother's good brothers," Lu Yuan said with a smile, "In the future, in Hangzhou, we will also be your brothers." ”

Shao Xiaojuan looked at Shao Gang weakly, as if to verify what Lu Yuan said.

Shao Gang hummed, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, Juanzi, they are all good classmates and good brothers in Hangzhou!" This is your Brother Lu Yuan, and that is your Brother George. ”

Shao Gang introduced his sister to Lu Yuan and Ma George.

"Oh," Shao Xiaojuan's voice was very immature, with a hint of timidity, and she shouted one by one: "Brother Lu Yuan, Brother George." ”

Lu Yuan responded, Ma George has always been in the position of the boss in the dormitory, it is rare for someone to call him brother, and he couldn't help but stink: "Xiaojuan, you can call me Brother Xiao Ma in the future." ”

"Little Pony?" Shao Xiaojuan muttered, this is weird.

Ma George reminded: "Haven't you watched "The True Color of Heroes"? is the little brother Ma played by Brother Fa. ”

Shao Xiaojuan shook her head, although this is an old Hong Kong film, Shao Xiaojuan said that she hadn't seen it.

Ma George was embarrassed.

"Let you pretend!"

Lu Yuan quipped: "Do you want to take a banknote and light a cigarette for you?" Little Pony! ”

Ma George smiled dryly and waved his hand, saying that it was illegal to burn RMB, so Lu Yuan should not be impulsive.

"Giggles, Brother George is really funny."

Shao Xiaojuan was still a little timid and shy, but as soon as she was infected by her brother's two friends, she became a little bolder, and her mood was a lot more cheerful, and she couldn't help but giggle.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a familiar voice sounded: "You have arrived." Faster than me. ”

It was Su Wenya, who came to bring food to their brothers and sisters.

I saw her carrying a few bags in large bags, walked into the ward, asked Shao Xiaojuan a few words with concern, and then handed the things in her hand to Shao Gang.

After Su Wenya cared about Shao Xiaojuan for a few words, she stepped aside, took out a thermos flask from the things she brought, opened the lid, and poured a bowl of porridge out.

She stirred the porridge with a spoon to cool it down quickly.

"Xiaojuan has just finished surgery, so let's eat some porridge? I think she's too thin and needs to make up for it. Ma George was on the side, glanced at the porridge in Su Wenya's hand, and then at Xiaojuan, who obviously couldn't keep up with nutrition, and couldn't help but interject.

"Ma George, you are wronging me."

Su Wenyan was afraid that she would be misunderstood, the mean sister-in-law of her future sister-in-law, so she quickly explained: "The doctor said that Xiaojuan had surgery and had to eat liquids. ”

Shao Gang also explained for Su Wenyan, "My sister has been lacking nutrition for a long time, her health is very poor, and her weakness cannot be replenished, so she can only do this first...... Hey, it's all my uselessness as a brother! ”

Shao Gang blamed himself.

"Brother, don't say that! I came to the city to work, I wanted to share some burden for my family, but I didn't think about it, but I added a burden to you and Sister Wen Yan. Shao Xiaojuan was in a hurry, and her tears fell down.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Xiaojuan, why are you crying? What's the burden? Su Wenyan took the porridge in her hand, hurriedly walked over, and sat on the edge of the bed to comfort Shao Xiaojuan.

To be honest, she felt that her future sister-in-law, although she was young, was really too sensible. Sometimes she understands and makes her feel distressed. At this age, you shouldn't have come out to suffer so early.

Ma George, who was on the side, didn't expect that his casual remark would cause such a reaction, and he couldn't stand or sit at once, so he was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan proposed: "Why don't you let Wen Yan take care of Xiaojuan to eat first, and the three of us go out to sit for a while and smoke a cigarette by the way?" ”

"After sitting for a while and smoking, hurry home and get some sleep."

Su Wenyan sat on the bed, turned her head and said to Shao Gang, "I don't go to work on weekends, I'll take care of Xiaojuan during the day!" ”

"Yes, Shao Gang, you see that your eyes are like rabbits. There are some things you don't have to worry about, and you can't rush them. Lu Yuan also followed suit, "Don't Xiaojuan is not well, you are tired again." ”

"Well, I'm ...... Forget it, let's go out and smoke a cigarette for a while. Shao Gang sighed.

The three of them walked out of the ward and came to the corridor, the hospital corridor must not be smoking, Shao Gang took the two of them to the staircase of the safe passage, took out cigarettes and distributed them to Lu Yuan and Ma George. Ma George doesn't usually smoke, but he just smokes a smoke ring for fun.

Lu Yuan smoked a cigarette and looked at Shao Gang, they had been together in the same bedroom for four years and knew each other very well. When he was in the ward just now, he had already noticed the strangeness that Shao Gang wanted to say but couldn't, and then asked straight to the point: "Shao Gang, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”

"Huh? How do you know...... Hey"

Shao Gang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I know I can't hide it from you." ”

Subsequently, he told all the bitterness in his heart like pouring beans.

Through his narration, Lu Yuan and Ma George learned that Shao Xiaojuan had just gone to work in the hotel, was still on probation, and had not yet paid medical insurance, and the cost of the operation and hospitalization was not reimbursed. The owner of the restaurant was still a little moral, not only did not fire her because she was sick and took a big leave just a few days after she went to work, but also asked the waiter in the store to send 200 yuan for nutrition, so that she could recuperate well and return to work in the hotel as soon as possible. But there is no way for the hotel to solve this medical expense for Shao Xiaojuan.

After such an operation, it cost two or three thousand at his own expense, not counting some follow-up treatment and re-examination costs, plus Shao Xiaojuan's long-term malnutrition, and spending money to regulate her body. Now she is weak and cannot be replenished, but she still has to keep up with the future, and the nutrition fee is naturally not a small amount.

It costs so much money before and after, and Shao Xiaojuan doesn't have it, so it is naturally spread on the head of Shao Gang's brother.

"It's not a small amount inside and out!" Shao Gang rubbed his face, and his bitterness was beyond words.

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I can still get two thousand yuan out there, and I'll send it to you later." ”

"How's that going to work?"

Shao Gang was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again, "I know how much salary you earn a month." You're just enough, and I can't ask for your money. For now, I can handle it. ”

"You know how much I earn in a month. Then how much do you earn and how much you spend in a month, I still don't know? Lu Yuanle said, "How can you have the money to deal with it?" ”

Shao Gang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Wen Yan also has some savings there......

"Wen Yan's is Wen Yan's, yours is yours!"

Lu Yuan raised his hand and stopped his next words, "Wen Yan has been suffering with you, are you embarrassed to use her savings again?" Besides, Xiaojuan is your sister, not her Su Wenyan's sister, the lesson of the last time you two quarreled and broke up is not enough? A manly man, you have to take on a little bit of your own responsibility! ”

In fact, there is still half a sentence that Lu Yuan has not said, a man can't always live on a woman!

"But ......"

Shao Gang looked embarrassed and wanted to excuse himself, but Lu Yuan had already patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense." I borrowed this money from you, and I didn't give it to you for free? If you have it, just pay me back. It's a big deal to pay me back, so please give me a good rub. Right now, everything is out of the way, and Xiaojuan has to see a doctor. ”

"Well, okay, when I borrow yours!"

Hearing him say this, Shao Gang finally nodded and admitted: "Yuanzi, I won't be polite to you." I'll pay you back as soon as I can. ”

Lu Yuan laughed: "It's all my own brothers, thank you!" Hurry back to sleep, George and I won't make a mess here. I'll send you the money later. ”

After urging Shao Gang to go back to sleep, Lu Yuan and Ma George walked out of the inpatient building side by side.

As soon as he left the building, Ma George suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Yuan, you can calculate the money you used to buy fruit before, how much should I have, and I will return it to you next time with the loan from you." ”

His current salary in the Red Spider Cyber Cafe is just enough, and he is more moonlight than the Moonlight Clan, and he is a Daylight Clan with debts. The rent money I borrowed from Lu Yuan last time has not been repaid yet. The fruits I bought before coming to the hospital just now were all Lu Yuan's money.

When Lu Yuan heard this, he also stopped, looked back at him in surprise, and asked, "What stupid things are you talking about?" ”

"You just told Shao Gang that a manly man must be responsible......"

Ma George pointed to the upstairs of the inpatient department, but before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan gently punched him on the shoulder, interrupting his speech.

"I said that to Shao Gang. Otherwise, can he take the money I borrowed? ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said seriously, "George, you are still a half-grown child who ran away from home in my eyes. But Shao Gang is different from you, and the things he carries are different from yours. He is not only Su Wenya's boyfriend, Shao Xiaojuan's brother, but also the pillar of their family in the future. If he lacks responsibility in terms of money, then he is not worthy to carry the burden of a family in the future. But if he doesn't carry the burden of their family, who will carry it? ”
