Chapter 60: The Reappearance of the Old Place
The noisy registration hall was filled with the painful moans of patients. Occasionally www.biquge.info one or two nurses would rush to the emergency room at the other end of the hospital, regardless of whether they had medicine in their hands or not, in short, their faces were all anxious.
Zheng Pei squeezed out of the crowd, his brows furrowed, as if two eyebrows hung an iron general in the middle of the eyebrows. He held Master Chen's medical certificate, prescription and bargain list in his hand, and two large stones pressed on his heart, almost driving him crazy.
Although Master Chen's condition is stable now, this injury has triggered his old pneumonia for many years. At present, the doctor's advice is that in addition to drug control, more attention should be paid to the patient's recuperation, and the patient is required not to have large emotional fluctuations, otherwise the old pneumonia will cause infection or other complications, especially for older patients like Master Chen, who may be in danger of life.
Zheng Pei shook his head helplessly, he had seen Master Chen secretly crying in his sleep several times, and even when he just bought back the sick meal, he would see Master Chen's eyes red.
Zheng Pei could only do his best to comfort Master Chen, or find some topics to liven up the atmosphere. But if you want Master Chen to stop being sad about the death of his apprentice, how can it be possible in a short period of time? Moreover, Master Chen's strange and awkward personality, even if the other party is a close person, he will not easily express his emotions and thoughts. So after a long time, Zheng Pei gradually figured out his temper and character, and he was no longer so anxious to express his inner emotions with Master Chen.
But Zheng Pei is still idle on his face and anxious in his heart, he doesn't want to just watch Master Chen end up depressed.
Zheng Pei let out a long sigh. Perhaps, time will erase the scars on Master Chen's heart.
Another stone is the price list of Master Chen's treatment medicine. Although the white-haired, kind attending physician was also carefully choosing some cost-effective medicines for Master Chen. But even so, the number on the bargain list shocked Zheng Pei.
Zheng Pei reluctantly picked up the bargaining list again and read it. How he wished he had misread the numbers, or that a beautiful miracle might happen.
But moments later, his arm with the bargaining slip fell in despair. The number on the bid list hasn't changed at all.
Instead, the number in the passbook in his trouser pocket was plummeting at a miraculous rate.
Zheng Pei also thought about leaving, after all, Master Chen was not his responsibility, not to mention that part of the money in the passbook was the last little effort left to him by his mother.
However, my mother said, save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west.
If the money is gone, you can still earn it, but if your life is gone, you will have nowhere to find it.
Zheng Pei's heart suddenly lit up. He clutched the passbook in his trouser pocket tightly and strode towards the savings bank across the street from the hospital.
Ten minutes later, Zheng Pei was back in the hospital. He was full of thoughts about Chen Tianfa's medicine and food expenses, but he didn't see a person walking in front of him.
"Zheng Pei, why are you still here?" The visitor asked.
As soon as Zheng Pei looked up and saw that it was Gao Yingjiu, he replied, "Master Chen's body still needs to be treated and observed for a few more days, and I will help take care of it here." ”
Gao Yingjiu said with a smile: "It's really rare for you to be such an enthusiastic child." ”
Zheng Pei smiled and asked, "Teacher Gao, are you here to handle the case?" ”
Gao Yingjiu shook his head and said, "Today I came here to see you two. He took out an envelope from the inside pocket of his coat, "This is a little bit of the heart of our special criminal team, and I sent it to you on behalf of our team." ”
Zheng Pei looked at Gao Yingjiu hesitantly, not knowing how to respond to the other party's intentions for a while. The envelope is bulging, and this heart is not light.
Gao Yingjiu said with a smile: "This idea was made up by our group. Not only to help Master Chen heal, but also to allow you to pay the tuition fees at the beginning of the school year. ”
Zheng Pei was embarrassed, and quickly stuffed the passbook into his trouser pocket. But even so, he understood that the number on his passbook was known by Gao Yingjiu.
"I thank you on behalf of Master Chen for your kindness. But how can I trouble you with my tuition......" Zheng Pei said embarrassedly.
"Then you can borrow it first, and then pay it back to me when you earn the money." Gao Yingjiu smiled and stuffed the envelope into Zheng Pei's arms, "You young man, where did all the straightforwardness run yesterday?" ”
Zheng Pei pinched the thick envelope in his hand, his face flushed with excitement, he quickly bowed to Gao Yingjiu, and said, "Teacher Gao, I'll borrow it first, and I will definitely return it to you later." ”
Gao Yingjiu patted Zheng Pei's shoulder and said, "Good boy, Uncle Gao is waiting for you." But you must promise Uncle Gao, you must do things calmly, you must come to me if you have problems, don't be reckless. After that, he smiled and nodded to Zheng Pei, saying that he was still in a hurry, and turned around and left.
Zheng Pei looked at Gao Yingjiu's departing back and bowed deeply. He pulled out the money from the envelope and saw that it was all a new unity.
Five days later, Master Chen was discharged from the hospital. After this period of careful recuperation, his physical condition has returned to normal. But because of the pain of bereavement and old pneumonia, it is no longer possible for Master Chen to return to his previous state of being alive and vigorous. Zheng Pei accompanied him all the way to the city long-distance bus station and put him on the return bus. I carefully told this strong and lonely old man and brought him some fruits and pastries. Although Master Chen still treats Zheng Pei with his classic and mean nature, Zheng Pei doesn't care. When the car started, through the window, Zheng Pei saw Master Chen's grateful and moist eyes.
Zheng Pei smiled and waved goodbye to Master Chen.
Zheng Pei breathed a long sigh of relief, at this time he was finally able to relieve the pressure and emotions of these days. He handed over Ma Shouzi's ashes to Master Chen, but Ma Shouzi's portrait needed him to put it back in the paper shop for safekeeping. Of course, he also needs to take care of Ma Thinzi's business, at least to dispose of his current inventory. But at the same time, Ma Thinzi's small shop and house are also for his temporary use.
Zheng Pei patted the dust on his clothes and carefully smoothed out his unkempt hair. His goal is not to make a lifelong business with the small shop of the horse skinny. Instead, he had to learn more tricks to enrich himself, find a job to pay off Gao Yingjiu's debts, and take on the task of raising his brother and sister.
Even, he wanted to find that legendary treasure to treat Chen Tianfa's old pneumonia. Although this can't get him rid of the pain of losing his beloved, at least it can make his lonely life in his later years relatively easier.
So, when he finished dealing with the things of the paper shop, Zheng Pei hurried to catch the familiar bus. As he got out of the car, the familiar sideways figure of the building not far away came into his sight again.
Zheng Pei smiled slightly, Cheng Sheng Building, long time no see.
