Chapter 49: Freemasonry
At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Meng Tao had just finished his second class when his mobile phone rang again.
The call was made by Sun Shouwang.
"Brother Sun. ”
"Brother, it's still yesterday," Sun Shouwang was a little embarrassed on the phone, "Today I asked again, if it's really inconvenient, I'll directly refuse them." ”
"Brother Sun, I have thought about it, I can supply them. ”
"Okay, I'll tell them. Sun Shouwang said excitedly.
"Brother Sun, after you listen to me, the premise is that I have to see what price they can give me, and if the price is right, I will consider it. ”
"That's as it should be, that's as it should be. Sun Shouwang hurriedly agreed.
"That's it, Brother Sun," Meng Tao thought for a while, "I'll take a few dishes and put them at your house tomorrow, and you let them take them back to make them and taste them, and then give me a word." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, such a delicious dish, if his price is low, I don't agree!"
There was no class in the afternoon, Meng Tao decided to go to the hospital to visit Gao Meng's grandmother, but unfortunately, Chu Shuai and Feng Hao couldn't leave, so Meng Tao could only go as a representative.
The last time I came to the Provincial People's Hospital, I still sent photos to Lin Bing, time flies so fast, and it has been more than a month in the blink of an eye. Soon after Lin Rongxian was discharged from the hospital, Lin Bing invited Meng Tao and Susie to have a meal on behalf of his family to express his gratitude, and the two have never seen each other since.
After getting off the bus at the entrance of the hospital, Meng Tao first made a phone call to Gao Meng, and learned that his grandmother was being treated in internal medicine on the fourth floor of the inpatient department, and bought a fruit basket and a box of nutritional products at the supermarket next to the hospital.
Bypassing the outpatient building, when he was about to reach the entrance of the inpatient department, a group of people were talking about something quietly on the side of the road, and through the gap in the crowd, Meng Tao could see a young man kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and there seemed to be a blank piece of paper in front of him.
Now that there are liars who win people's sympathy all over the street, Meng Tao did not stop, and continued to walk forward, but just after taking two steps, the words of an old lady on the side came into his ears.
"This child is also pitiful, from ward No. 6 on the fourth floor, his father's hospitalization fee will be gone immediately, the family will not have enough money for a while, and the hospital will stop medicine in the afternoon......"
Meng Tao stopped when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the crowd.
Kneeling down was a young man slightly older than Meng Tao, with a slender head, his dark skin was a little rough, his finger joints were thick, and he was covered with many calluses.
An A4 piece of paper with words written on it was spread out in front of him, and on the ground above the paper were medical records, ID cards, and a soldier's discharge certificate.
The content on the paper is similar to what the middle-aged woman said, the young man's name is Wei Jun, and the sick is his father Wei Zhiqiang, because the liver ascites caused by hepatitis is being treated in the hospital, the family conditions are not good, in order to treat the father, the family's savings are all spent, and now they urgently need 5,000 yuan to renew the hospitalization fee, I hope that well-wishers can help, and they will definitely return it in the future. At the bottom is the room number and the patient's name.
The guards didn't speak, just kowtowed again and again, and their foreheads were already bruised.
On the side of the crowd, looking at the guards who kept kowtowing, Meng Tao couldn't help but think of the scene when his father was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage. And, of course, there is the nightmare that comes up every once in a while, in which the helpless mother kneels on the ground and kowtows to the doctor again and again, blood running down her cheeks.....
Just when Meng Tao and his mother Sun Feng'e were at a loss, Sun Feng'e's factory organized a fundraiser for Meng Tao's father, which can be called a charcoal in the snow, helping Meng Tao's family to solve an urgent need, if it weren't for that donation, Meng Tao's father's illness would definitely be much more serious than now.
The onlookers were basically patients or their families, sympathizing with each other, and from time to time someone put money in front of the guards for ten and fifty yuan, and it didn't take much effort to pile up hundreds of dollars on the A4 paper.
But this money is only a drop in the bucket compared to the hospitalization fee of 5,000 yuan, and the despair in Wei Jun's eyes grew stronger and stronger when he thought that his father would soon stop treatment due to lack of money, or even lose his life because of it.
At this moment, a young man who was a few years younger than the guard walked up to him, stretched out his hand to help him up, and under the guard's puzzled gaze, the young man handed him a stack of money, and at the top of the money was a note with a phone number written on it.
"You can use this money first, and then return it to me when you have enough money!" staring at the guards, Meng Tao said in a solemn voice.
"Thank you!" Wei Jun's throat squirmed a few times, and he spat out two words with difficulty.
Meng Tao leaned over and put away the documents and medical records on the ground and handed them to Wei Jun, "Go and pay the hospitalization fee." ”
"I'm sure I'll pay you back!" Wei Jun bowed deeply to Meng Tao, turned around and walked towards the hall of the inpatient department.
"Well, good boy!"
"Yes, there are too few such young people now. ”
"You're still too young, is he afraid that he won't pay back so much money at once?"
In the applause, everyone talked about Meng Tao and said everything.
When Meng Tao came to ward 408, the doctor was doing an afternoon round, Meng Tao nodded at Gao Meng, and stood aside to listen quietly.
After seeing the patient's condition, the male doctor who led the team turned to Gao Meng and a middle-aged woman and said coldly: "The old lady's blood pressure control is very bad during this time, how do you take care of the elderly as children, I told you in the last hospitalization, you must eat lightly when you go back, don't have too big emotional fluctuations, and exercise moderately, you are good, you don't care if the old lady eats sauce every day." ”
"Doctor, my mother has a heavy taste, and if she doesn't eat something salty, she won't have an appetite, so you can't stop her from eating, so it's inevitable to eat something salty when you have time. The middle-aged woman explained with a smile on her face.
"You have a really big heart, which is more important, life or taste?" The male doctor was very angry, "Now the blood pressure is one hundred and eighteen, let me tell you, all the blood pressure drugs have almost lost their effect on her now, with the patient's current condition, cerebral hemorrhage may occur at any time, do you know?"
"Yes, yes, doctor, we were wrong, look at my mother's situation, when will it stabilize?"
"It's hard to say," staring at the monitor at the bedside, the male doctor said coldly: "The blood pressure has been going back and forth, if it can't go down again, it will be dangerous, I'll go back and study the treatment plan again, you guys keep an eye on it, don't be careless!"
"Okay, that's troublesome. ”
"Alright, what's the matter to ring the bedbell. The doctor left with the nurse and a few interns, and just walked to the door, and replied: "The patient's condition is very special, it has a repulsive effect on chemical blood pressure drugs, if possible, add dietary therapy, celery juice or something to drink, and don't let the old lady get excited!"
"Okay, well, we remember, thank you, doctor, thank you. The middle-aged woman hurriedly apologized.
After the doctor left, through Gao Meng's introduction, Meng Tao knew that the middle-aged woman was Gao Meng's sister-in-law. After saying hello, Meng Tao asked Gao Meng about the old lady.
It turned out that the old lady was hospitalized for high blood pressure for the third time this year, but this time it was more troublesome, and the effect of antihypertensive drugs for a day was not ideal, and the doctor inferred that the old lady may have extremely rare body resistance, and the antihypertensive drugs have been unable to achieve the desired medicinal effect.
