The call came from Gao Ming's brother.

Gao Ming had four brothers and two younger sisters, and he was the only one who went to college and then became a newspaper reporter. The brothers were proud of him, but they didn't expect him to resign.

What's even more unexpected is that he actually became a delivery boy, which made his parents and siblings furious, and they didn't want to mention him as a person.

It is only in recent years that their relationship has eased. Unexpectedly, the relationship eased somewhat, and he divorced again, not even a son.

My brother called him and said, "My father is hospitalized, come back quickly."

Gao Ming listened and wept secretly. Think of my father, who is in his 70s and still has to work in the fields. He once ordered his father to stop working, and his father said that it was good, but he still did it.

In the ward of the county hospital, he saw his father, who had only been seen for a few months, black and thin. The elder brother said that his father had a cerebral hemorrhage and was still in the ICU.

They were talking about whether or not to operate on their father.

What other surgeries are being discussed? It's the end of the world in a few months, everyone is the same, there's no need. My brother thought for a long time and said categorically.

Zheng Riqiang was speechless. I can't imagine that my brother, who doesn't listen to anything outside the window, a middle-aged man who grew up in a remote countryside, actually knows so much about the end of the world.

He was looking boredly at the entrance of the hospital, and someone was shouting: Doctor, doctor, save her! A man ran in with the cart, crying.

Another male patient came in, he was on his way home from work, he fell on a motorcycle, broke 8 ribs in his chest, and had a hemothorax.

In just one hour, more than a dozen emergency patients were brought in one after another. There are accidents, diseases, allergies, and people who are unconscious from drinking......

Hospitals spend a lot of money. My brother ran over and asked, is a 7000 injection of thrombolytic agent used?

Absolutely. Gao Ming said. But he has no bottom in his heart, his father has no medical insurance, and he doesn't know how much it will cost this time. It's okay to have more brothers and sisters in the family, but it's difficult for a family with an only child or a second child.

Fortunately, my father was transferred to the general ward on the third day. The next bed is a couple, only 45 years old, and the man also has a serious cerebrovascular disease and can no longer walk.

The two had just been admitted to the hospital and paid 5,000 yuan in advance, but it was used up in two days, and the nurse asked them to renew the fee as soon as possible.

The couple has two children, one in high school and one in junior high school. Life is too hard. The wife's eyes were blank: Stay up, you won't have to boil it in a few months.

Or the end of the world. Gao Ming couldn't have imagined that the talk of the end of the world had spread so widely. Indeed, for many terminally ill people, the end of the world is a relief.

And, looking forward to that day. It's just that for many healthy people with an infinite future, it's too cruel.

On the question of whether to continue treatment, Gao Ming went toe-to-toe with his father, brother and sister, and others, saying that it didn't matter if they were treated anyway, because the outcome was like that.

Gao Ming remembered what his father said before: No matter what the end of the day is, even if it dies tomorrow, I still have to work! But when it comes to healing, why isn't my father enlightened?

Unable to resist his stubborn father, he couldn't wait to go home.

Time was short, so Gao Ming stayed at home and lived with his father.

Early in the morning, Gao Ming went downstairs to the market to buy vegetables, and he was worried, but he saw an eldest sister crying loudly on the ground.

Gao Ming felt sad, his innate "benevolence" may really be out of place.

He asked: Sister, what's the matter?

The eldest sister just cried and didn't speak.

The person next to her said that she picked a load of vegetables to come to the market, and the market stipulated that a management fee of 3 yuan should be called, and when she scanned the code on WeChat, she only paid 2 yuan, and the management took her vegetables away.

Zheng Riqiang said: One dollar, let her make up for it.

The people around him are also gossiping and discussing: what are you doing so seriously, can you bring money into the coffin? When the end of the world comes, isn't everyone the same?

Someone next to him said: They all say the end of the world, is there any? The devil knows. As far as the facts are concerned, those managers are also hired by the company, and no one dares to assert themselves.

Gao Ming thought, yes, what if he was the manager?

Gao Ming remembered that sentence again: Because of being tortured by life, many people always have a sense of anger, and they can't harm people with high classes, because they are not in the same circle as each other, so the weak wave a knife at the weak and mutilate others who are also at the bottom of society.

As long as they have a little power in their hands, they will "hold chicken feathers as arrows", and they can't wait to expand, and get a little thin sense of existence from the happiness of their kind.

The security guard bullied the food delivery person, and the administrator bullied the eldest sister, which is also the case.

Unexpectedly, the end of the world has become a household name in this secular vegetable market, Gao Ming sighed, the time is getting closer and closer, and people don't take it seriously.

However, people are still a little out of the cards, all kinds of behaviors, remarks emerge in endlessly, like the administrator bullying the eldest sister, very rare, everyone seems to see it, turn a blind eye.

At this time, the media with good things published a doomsday question, but this time only a material reward of one dollar:

If you knew it would be the end of the world in a year, would you still work?

This Q&A, which is tantamount to no reward, attracts a large number of readers to participate.

Out of hundreds of thousands of responses, these three answers stood out and were awarded 33 cents each:

First, I'm 50 years old, and I know that in 50 years, maybe 20 years, I'm going to die, and I'm going to have to work hard.

Second, in my world, there are dangers, and almost every day is the end of the world. However, I still work every day, even if tomorrow is the end of the world.

Thirdly, yes, because if I don't work, I'll starve to death in the second month, and I won't be able to wait a year later.

Seeing that the people who answered the questions were so enthusiastic, the media launched another question while the iron was hot:

If the end of the world is coming, would you be willing to take out your savings and give someone who has never eaten a hot dog a taste?

The prize money is a $1,000 meal voucher.

However, there are few answers to this question. Maybe it's unwillingness, maybe it's disdain, in short, there's no answer.

It doesn't matter, someone has already done this, and the free "Doomsday Dinner" made by a popular restaurant in Nanshan City may have been inspired by it.

Books such as "Doomsday Travel Guide" and "108 Foods You Must Try Before the Apocalypse", which have disappeared, have reappeared.

The media seems to refuse to admit defeat and ask another question: If the end comes, there is a chance to survive, do you give it to your wife, children or mother?

This question is even more outrageous, with only a dime in the bonus.

Unexpectedly, people were unprecedentedly enthusiastic about this question, the media server was almost paralyzed, and enthusiastic people actually sent the answer through letters.

According to statistics, the media received more than 4.56 million answers, and the ratio of answers to wiveves, children, and mothers was 21:62:17.

But in the end, it was such an answer that was rewarded by all those who read it.
