When they came in the morning, Ling Feng saw that it was white outside, and there was heavy snow falling outside the window.

Today is December 24th, and it is Christmas Eve of another year.

Yao Chen called early in the morning to wish Ling Feng a Merry Christmas, and Ling Feng suddenly remembered that today was Christmas Eve, and his heart suddenly felt a little inexplicable.

Pedestrians are in a hurry on the streets.

Ling Feng walked leisurely on the road, admiring the snowy scenery of the northern country that was difficult to see in the south.

The time of his father's operation, Ling Hanyu, has been confirmed, so he has now been admitted to the hospital and is doing various examinations every day. Noon and evening are the prescribed visiting times in the hospital for the patient's family, but as long as Ling Feng comes together, he will always try his best to sneak into the inpatient department to accompany his father for examination. Fortunately, the examination was done relatively smoothly, so that the surgery date at the end of the year could be scheduled.

At the end of the year, there were more patients in the hospital, and there were a lot of people doing various examinations.

Yesterday, I accompanied my father to do color ultrasound, and found that the dates of color ultrasound were scheduled for January, but fortunately, Ling Feng found a relationship, and spent three times the price to do the color ultrasound in advance, so that he finally caught up with the date of the operation, or the operation iron iron was scheduled to next year.

A commotion pierced the silence of the early morning.

There was a crowd of people at the entrance of the inpatient department, and several people were pushing and shoving.

> Before the time of visitation, please refrain from trespassing. A security guard pushed away a swarthy man in front of him with a palm.

The swarthy man was silent, lowered his head and rushed in, and did not return his hand, allowing the two security guards to push and shove.

Another security guard had a crooked brim and cursed in his mouth: "Hillbilly, are you deaf?" Stop it! ”

The crowd of onlookers lowered their heads and whispered.

It turned out that the swarthy man brought his daughter to see a doctor, and her daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. After various examinations, the swarthy man's daughter was finally admitted to the hospital, and within a few days, the swarthy man's money was spent. The swarthy man is a villager in a remote mountainous area, and his family has little money, and he can only borrow three or five thousand yuan after raising money from various sources, which is just a drop in the bucket for the treatment of his daughter's illness. The hospital issued a reminder notice, today is the deadline, and if the payment is not made today, the swarthy man's family will be forcibly evicted from the hospital.

The swarthy man wanted to enter the hospital and beg the doctor for a few more days, but was stopped by the security guard at the entrance of the inpatient department.

Ling Feng passed by the crowd and heard the discussion, it was easy to understand the cause and effect of the matter, although he felt that the hospital's approach was a little cold, but there were also rules to follow. He was not a busybody who liked to watch the excitement and meddle in the first place, so he wanted to sneak into the building while he was in chaos, but at a glance, he found that the swarthy man had raised his head.

A simple and wooden face of a mountain man, his eyes are very dazed, his face is a little distorted, mixed with complex expressions of self-blame, anger, and helplessness.

The security guard pushed hard, and the swarthy man stood up straight with his neck stalked, and resolutely did not retreat without returning his hand, allowing the security guard to push and shove.

Soon, the entrance of the inpatient department was crowded with people watching the excitement.

The security guard, whose hat was crooked, was in a hurry, and pulled out the baton on his waist and pumped it at the swarthy man.

The crowd let out an exclamation.

A large hand stretched out out of thin air, and the other grabbed the baton.

&Chen, why are you here? Ling Feng let go of the baton and said, "If you have something to say, don't hit people." ”

The swarthy man is Chen Erwa.

Chen Erwa's eyes flashed with hope, and she said, "Comrade Ling, why are you here?" ”

The two security guards were scolding a little bit in their mouths, Ling Feng's eyes widened, and the two of them retreated into the building of the inpatient department in disdain, anyway, as long as Chen Erwa didn't continue to break in, they wouldn't bother to care.

Breakfast shop in front of the hospital.

Within ten minutes, Chen Erwa had already eaten fifteen meat buns, eleven fritters, drank two bowls of gruel, and three bowls of soy milk, before she put down her chopsticks.

I don't know how long this simple mountain man hasn't had a full meal.

Ling Feng suddenly felt that Chen Erwa was more suitable for gathering in the mountains and forests, and the cruel steel jungle in the city was not a place where this old hunter should stay at all.

& Didn't you leave 50,000 dollars when you left? Ling Feng remembered that he had put all the cash in Chen Erwa's bag when he left.

Chen Erwa sighed and said, "The money was already spent when I saw a doctor, and I also sold a lot of mountain goods, a total of 80,000 yuan, which was spent in just half a month in the hospital." ”

It's a time when you can't afford to live in a house or see a doctor.

As long as one member of an ordinary family is seriously ill, the standard of living will definitely drop sharply. 80,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for a mountain man like Chen Erwa, and it may even be all he can earn in his life, but for a disease, that money is nothing.

Ling Feng handed Chen Erwa a cigarette.

Chen Erwa reached out and took the cigarette, cherished it behind her ear, then took out the dry cigarette and lit it, and took a puff.

Alas!

After a while, Chen Erwa raised her head and sighed, glanced at Ling Feng, and then buried her head and smoked a dry cigarette.

After a while, the small restaurant was filled with a strong smell of dry smoke, but fortunately, it was past the meal, and there were not many people in the restaurant, and the restaurant owner glanced at it, and then buried his head behind the counter, too lazy to take care of the two.

Seeing that Chen Erwa looked like he wanted to say something, of course Ling Feng knew what he was going to say.

What else can be said at this time?

Ling Feng chatted with Chen Erwa for a few more words, and then checked out and left.

Looking at Ling Feng's back, Chen Erwa finally said nothing.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Chen Erwa shivered, wrapped in a cotton coat that leaked everywhere, shrunk and walked towards the hospital blankly.

Around noon.

As soon as the time for the visit arrived, Chen Erwa was the first to rush into the inpatient building.

In the hospital room.

Chen Siran, who was pale, was silently packing up his things.

A nurse stood by the door and watched with a faint condescending look on her face.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old Chen Siran, her face has a kind of maturity and firmness beyond her age, she knows that her parents have tried their best to treat her, she doesn't want to show disappointment in front of her relatives, let alone show weakness in front of those who are cold-eyed bystanders.

She was very unwilling!

She is unwilling to give up hope of life!

But what can be done now?

Parents have done their best.

She quietly wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes with the action of packing her luggage.

Chen Erwa rushed into the ward panting, and when she saw her daughter's weak back, this strong man's eyes were a little red.

Chen Erwa's mother-in-law rushed in, hugged her daughter and began to cry bitterly.

& My daughter is fine, my daughter is fine now, when can we go home? At this time, Chen Siran began to comfort her mother.

& Please refrain from making loud noises in the room. The nurse said coldly, "Please hurry up and pack your things, there are other patients staying in the afternoon." Although the nurse's tone was polite, the condescending dislike was extremely obvious.

Chen Erwa, a strong mountain man, listened to her daughter's whispered words to comfort her mother, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes.

He spun around sharply.

The nurse at the door was startled, quickly took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

As soon as Chen Erwa's knees weakened, she was about to kneel. He begged the doctor to give up a few more days of grace, and he would rather give up his dignity as long as he could give his daughter a chance to continue treatment.

But does it work?
