Volume 4: The Rain of Early Summer (4)
The yellowish lanterns, which symbolize warmth, seem to have dimmed a lot because of this stiff atmosphere.
It was nearly 12 o'clock in the night.
Finally the wind is coming.
The cool breeze blew in from the window, and the wind was a little strong, and Yu Yazhi's tear-stained hair floating on her forehead was curled. Her expression was complicated, with pain, loss, and confusion, and finally she lowered her head.
"I see... Excuse me. Yu Yazhi said.
Chen Zhao didn't see Yu Yazhi's expression clearly, but he was also a little guilty, after all, she really helped herself a lot.
"I'm sorry..."
"Nothing, home... Well, home is more important. Yu Yazhi smiled reluctantly and shook her head, "Where do you work now?" I haven't seen you for a month, and you've become like this. ”
"On the construction site." Chen Zhao smiled bitterly, but after these words were spoken, Chen Zhao didn't know what to do, and added, "But I was just dismissed today." ”
"Dismissal?"
Yu Yazhi was stunned, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, was silent for a while, and said softly, "The position of warehouse management I recommended to you last time is still there, do you want to think about it?" ”
...
Looking at the extremely clear wall clock illuminated by the moonlight, Xia Qing found that it was now 1:20 in the morning.
Seeing that Chen Zhao didn't come in at 12 o'clock, she was a little concerned, so she went out to take a look, but she didn't expect that Chen Zhao sitting at the door was gone, and only an empty stool remained. At first, I thought maybe it was going out for a walk, but I didn't pay much attention to it, so I wanted to wait for her to sleep together.
But now, it's 1:20 p.m.
Where did it go?
Why haven't you come back yet? Is something wrong?
She was a little worried.
The sound of the clock ticked in her ears.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, at this moment, the daughter who had been sleeping next to her for a long time let out a faint moan, this slight moan was very harsh in the silent room, which startled Xia Qing. She hurriedly turned on the light and turned her head, but she saw her daughter who was showing an uncomfortable appearance and slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom."
"Eh, what's wrong?"
"Xiaole has a stomachache..."
Her daughter's words made Xia Qing's face not look good.
She knew that if she was just uncomfortable and wanted to have diarrhea, she would go to the toilet by herself and not shout at herself.
"My head hurts too..."
Just about to ask what it hurts, the uncomfortable voice that her daughter added made Xia Qing's already unsightly face turn pale in an instant. She hurriedly stretched out her hand and touched her daughter's head, the scorching temperature from her hand made her brows furrow, biting her lip, is it a fever?
"Are you going to have diarrhea?" Xia Qing turned off the air conditioner.
The daughter shook her head, still hunched over, her little face extremely pale.
"Well, don't be afraid, Mom will ask Dad to take you to the hospital immediately." Seeing this, Xia Qing hurriedly took the mobile phone from the table next to him and dialed Chen Zhao's number, but what came was "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off." ”
Xia Qing panicked.
Chen Zhao didn't come back in the middle of the night, she was already very worried, but it might have been that she went out for a walk, but now that the phones are turned off, is something wrong?
Xia Qing, who has always been calm, is difficult to calm down when facing family problems.
If he doesn't come back, what will happen to his daughter? What if something happens to him? And now I can't take my daughter to the hospital!
Xia Qing wanted to call Zhang Mei for help, but in the middle of the night, what if she had to trouble others about even the trivial matter of fever?
She decided to wait a little longer...
Time passed like this, Xia Qing comforted her daughter, anxious, until her daughter vomited at 2 o'clock, Xia Qing finally couldn't hold it back, unwilling to wait any longer, and was ready to call Zhang Mei for help immediately.
But at this moment, the door clicked open, and Chen Zhao walked in from the outside. He was a little dumbfounded when he saw the lights on at home, but instead he saw Xia Qing who was anxious and flustered on the bed, and his daughter who was holding her stomach and her face was pale, and he was stunned.
Instead, he walked over briskly and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiaole?" ”
"Where have you been? Why did the phone turn off? Xia Qing bit her lip, "Xiaole is sick, I don't know what the disease is, she not only has a fever, but her stomach hurts and she vomits." ”
It's just that when she said this, she suddenly smelled the inexplicable feminine fragrance on Chen Zhao's body, and her face changed a little in shock.
"I went out for a walk, and my phone was out of battery." Chen Zhao didn't explain Yu Yazhi's matter, looking at his daughter's painful expression, how could he have that thought, so he could only casually perfunctory. Then he quickly picked up his daughter and stuffed the money in the family drawer into his pocket, "I'll take her to the hospital." ”
"Which woman did you go to?"
At the moment when Chen Zhao was about to walk out of the door, Xia Qing's cold voice made him pause.
"My daughter is sick like this, you don't go home at night, go to other women's houses?"
The annoyance caused by Xiaole's illness made Xia Qing's mood already very unstable, plus her worry about Chen Zhao, when she learned the result, the unstable emotion was not suppressed, and she was rarely angry.
Chen Zhao had a little headache, he felt that he shouldn't save trouble and explain less, but the faint moans from the daughter he was holding made him really unable to stop, and he didn't have time to mind Xia Qing's words.
"I'll take my daughter to the hospital first, and I'll explain it later." Chen Zhao turned around and left.
The small room was quiet again.
Xia Qing did not stop Chen Zhao, she knew that her daughter's affairs were the most important.
But she was a little inexplicably flustered.
She thought of what happened to Chen Zhao a few years ago, and she clenched her teeth for a while...
....
Anxiously waiting on the side of the road until a private car passed by.
"How much does it cost to go to the First Hospital?"
The private car driver glanced at his daughter in Chen Zhao's arms, "200." ”
Chen Zhao's face immediately darkened, he was almost about to scold, what are you kidding? You usually get it for 30 yuan, right?
"To go or not to go? If I don't go, I'll go. But you don't know when you'll have to wait for the next one. The driver of the private car said.
Chen Zhao was extremely distressed, but looking at the daughter in his arms, he couldn't take care of these anymore, it didn't matter how much money it was. Immediately got into the car: "Hurry up." ”
"Okay."
The driver didn't say a word, and immediately turned around and drove quickly.
In the streets at night, the white private car drove at the maximum speed, which was a bit far away, and it was a few minutes less.
"Big brother, don't say I'm excessive, I also have to live to support my family. I've come full circle here. Although I asked you for some extra money, it also used the fastest speed. The driver took the money, and the car immediately disappeared from Chen Zhao's sight.
Quickly entered the hospital, Chen Zhao hung up the emergency department, and when the nurse at the front desk said that he wanted 500 yuan, his face became even more ugly.
Why is it so expensive?
In general, a hundred is too much, right? So dark?
But his daughter's painful expression made him feel the same as usual at this time, paid the fee and took his daughter to the doctor, examined it for a while, and found out that it was acute appendicitis in children, Chen Zhao was stunned.
He has never had this disease, and he has not studied it, but he has heard many people mention that this disease seems to be fatal?
"Doctor, my daughter will be fine, right?"
The doctor smiled, and he said, "It's okay, don't worry so much." If you send it early, if it is ten hours late, there may really be an accident. ”
Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard the doctor say below that although it can be cured by other methods, it is recommended that it is best to have surgery, and Chen Zhao ran to pay the fee without saying a word.
...
"The cost of the operation is 3,000."
“3000?”
Chen Zhao was stunned.
He took all the money from the family, only about 3,000 yuan, and 700 for taxi and emergency medicine, but now he doesn't have 3,000 on him.
"Can you owe it first? I'll pay 2300 first. I'll borrow money to make up for it later. Chen Zhao hurriedly said.
The little nurse was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I'm sorry, this won't work." ”
But after speaking, seeing Chen Zhao's cramped and anxious look, the little nurse pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "That's it, I know that the illness is very urgent." If you can promise to pay me back later, I can lend you 700 first, how about it? ”
"Huh? I must pay you back, and I will pay you back later. Thank you, thank you so much! Chen Zhao hurriedly bowed down in gratitude.
The night was 3 a.m.
Chen Zhao lost his tiredness, sat outside the operating room, and waited worriedly.
