Chapter 42. What is a friend
After leaving the Temple of God of Wealth, Lin Yi thought about it and finally decided to go to the hospital first.
The first people's hospital in the city is now decorated with fancy clothes. Each department is like a maze that makes you confused. There are also hospitalizations. The various procedures for medical treatment are more complicated than those of the Olympiad. For many people, it is mainly because of the cumbersomeness. Often, a simple document requires more than a dozen trips to go upstairs and downstairs.
Lin Yi didn't like the smell of alcohol and disinfectant in the hospital. For his extremely sensitive nose, these breaths were a torture.
After wiping his uncomfortable nose, Lin Yi tried to keep a gentle smile on his face. When he came to the information room in the hospital lobby, he found that no one was there. After waiting for a while, a girl dressed in a young nurse walked over with her cell phone. Lin Yi wanted to say hello, but the girl was talking to the cell phone and glaring at him impatiently with her big eyes with fake eyelashes. Lin Yi had to wait patiently. The girl was talking nonsense, as if someone was about to celebrate her birthday and was arguing about ordering a cake.
After a moment, Lin Yi looked at the time. Five or six minutes had passed. His patience was limited, so he patted the counter hard and said to the girl: "Please ask me something." The girl then raised her head and said, "Wait a moment, haven't you seen me busy?"
Lin Yi said coldly: "I just want to ask your hospital's complaint phone number---" and then took a meaningful look at the badge worn by the girl on the left, "Comrade Li Mengge, is that right?"
The girl then changed her face slightly, hurriedly hung up the phone, and said to Lin Yi awkwardly: "Well, what's the specific situation about you? What can I help you?" Her tone became very kind and enthusiastic, completely different from what she had just now.
Lin Yi then said, "It's very urgent to check someone."
With the enthusiastic help of the girl, Lin Yi easily found information about Teacher Huang's mother. After all, paralysis and burns are paralyzed, and no one can forget such a significant characteristic.
After going to the hospitalization on the third floor, Lin Yi found Ward No. 502. He did not push the door directly into it, but looked inside through the glass window on the ward door.
Sure enough, Teacher Huang and his mother were inside.
The old lady seemed to be stable, but she was still taking an injection, which was probably anti-inflammatory and glucose. After all, these two types of injections in the hospital are the most common. No matter whether you are sick or not, you should get a few bottles first.
Teacher Huang is peeling oranges for the old lady. The old man has lost a lot of weight after being hospitalized for so many days. He can't eat anything, drink water and is afraid of going to the toilet. Eating oranges makes his mouth moisturize.
In fact, Teacher Huang was also very haggard. During the days when the old lady was hospitalized, he basically didn't close his eyes.
Since burns require changing dressings and anti-inflammatory at any time, Teacher Huang had to stay with the old lady at all times. He had no money and could not afford the professional nursing staff provided by the hospital. Although he knew that it would be better to let those nursing staff do this.
Basically, Teacher Huang had to carry her into the toilet when the old lady was urinating and defecating, and then put it on the toilet seat for disabled people to untie her pants and wipe it clean after the toilet.
Teacher Huang didn't mind the dirt, but other family members who lived in the same ward kept him away because he always smelled very unpleasant.
The old lady knew that her son had worked hard, so she tried to drink less water and eat less, and ate something that was easy to digest. She tried not to go to the toilet. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by urine. Seeing Teacher Huang lying haggardly beside her sleeping soundly, the old lady couldn't bear to wake him up, so she wanted to move herself and try to sit in the wheelchair. But every time she moved, Teacher Huang woke up, and then the first sentence was: "Mom, are you going to the toilet?"
Looking at the white hair gradually growing on the temples of Huang's temples, and the cheeks that were haggard and not covered in blood because of staying up late, the old lady's heart suddenly became very painful, even more painful than the burned area, and it hurts like a convulsion... She felt sorry for her son. Why did she drag him down? Sometimes the old lady thought to herself that it would be better if she died.
"Mom, eat oranges." Teacher Huang broke the peeled oranges and handed them to my mouth.
The old lady opened her mouth, ate the orange, and said, "Soul."
Teacher Huang said, "Then I'll make you sweet."
The old lady trembled her lips and said with difficulty: "Mom...I love to eat...I'm sour."
As long as it is given by her son, she likes to eat it no matter how sweet or sour.
Teacher Huang took out a knife and cut the oranges very carefully. He tasted a little bit first. As long as it was sour, he would put it aside and feed it to my mother the sweet ones. He did it very carefully and seriously, just like he used to do bomb disposal exercises in the army, with full concentration and meticulousness.
Outside the door, Lin Yi saw this scene and did not push the door open.
What did you say when you go in?
Is it polite or a greeting?
Is it pitiful or condolence?
So Lin Yi just stayed for a moment and left the ward. No matter what, there was one thing he had to do.
...
In the ward, just as Teacher Huang was feeding my mother oranges, the door of the ward opened and a doctor on duty walked in.
Seeing the doctor, Teacher Huang's face became a little embarrassed because the female doctor had urged him to pay the medical expenses several times. She was hospitalized for a week and spent about 8,000 yuan, but she was burned. The daily medical expenses were as high as 1,000 yuan. This kind of hospital really couldn't afford to stay.
That's right, the female doctor asked about the specific conditions of each bed, checked the progress of the ventilator, and then began to pay various medical expenses. When it was Teacher Huang's turn, Teacher Huang had already made up his mind to use the excuse of the last time again. In his opinion, before raising money, the hospital would never throw the patient outside. Although this method was a bit suspicious of being spoiled, it was a last resort.
In fact, in order to treat his old mother, Teacher Huang has raised a lot of money, and even sold his favorite combat medal he received in the army for a price, but that only raised more than 1,000 yuan. Teacher Huang understood that if he was willing to bow his head and bend his back to those familiar and familiar bigwigs, let alone thousands of yuan, even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, he would be able to get it. But he didn't do this because he knew the consequences and costs of doing so.
The female doctor's footsteps were already very close. Teacher Huang didn't dare to go and see it. He waited for the sound of bill checking in his ears--
But this time he was wrong.
The female doctor actually looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Mr. Huang, your mother's condition is very stable and you will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Well, the 30,000 yuan you just paid is very timely..."
"What, 30,000?" Teacher Huang was stunned, "I didn't give it, who gave it?"
Seeing this, the female doctor said strangely: "What, isn't that person named Lin Yi your friend?"
Looking at the female doctor stupidly, looking at her questioning, Teacher Huang suddenly seemed to have figured out something. His expression was no longer confused, no longer confused, no longer frowning... A ray of hot light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Yes, he is my friend," he emphasized, "Best friend!" For some reason, his eyes were a little wet.
What is a man and what is a friend?
Needless to say, no need to say.
You understand my heart.
