"Didn't you come last time?" In the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of City B People's Hospital, the graduate student who had finally watched the patient with his supervisor said impatiently to Xu Hanchang, "The director has explained everything clearly to you, so why are you still asking?" .”

"Doctor, I didn't ask this time. I didn't get the director's number." Xu Hanchang humbly apologized, nodding and bowing, "We decided to stay, we were hospitalized, and I brought all the money."

He borrowed a total of more than 5000 yuan from all his relatives and neighbors, plus the [-] yuan that Chengyan lent him, and a little he had saved before, at least enough for biopsy and surgery.

"Then register and issue a hospital ticket." The young man in a white coat kept going to the outpatient clinic until three o'clock in the afternoon, already a little dizzy from hunger.

"The director's number is gone next week. Can I trouble you to add one so that I can put it in earlier." Xu Hanchang smiled more humbly, tightening the hem of the cotton jacket with his fingertips.

The graduate student stared at him, and after a few seconds he stretched out his hand very angrily: "Give me the ID card!"

There was no bed that day, but the doctor said that he could live in an extra bed tomorrow, and told Grandpa Xu not to eat tomorrow morning, but to come on an empty stomach.

Xu Hanchang took his grandfather to stay in a small hotel near the hospital, intending to make do for the night.

Grandpa had been in the car for a whole day, and his spirit was very bad, and he had been sleeping in the afternoon.

Xu Hanchang woke him up at night and asked: "Grandpa, don't sleep, let's go out and find a place to eat."

Grandpa rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

Xu Hanchang squatted down very naturally, Grandpa Xu quietly watched the top of his head and the movement of putting on his shoes.

"Hanchang." He said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xu Hanchang raised his head.

"The two rooms at home are reserved for you." Grandpa Xu pulled him up from the ground and let him sit next to him, "The land planted by your fifth uncle's family is allotted to our family. If we can grow it, we can’t sell it. Our family has no labor right now, so let them grow it, and they will give us 500 yuan a year, don’t forget to ask for it.”

Xu Hanchang felt sore, and said angrily, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"I'm afraid that you won't know, and you will suffer in the future." Grandpa Xu racked his brains and thought for a while, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

Xu Hanchang rolled his eyes: "You will collect your own money, I don't care, I will buy food for you."

After speaking, he hurriedly put on his sneakers and went out.

The moment the door closed, tears flowed down his face.

After the father and son had dinner, Xu Hanchang watched TV with the grandfather for a while, and the grandfather became sleepy.The two of them dealt with each other all night on the dilapidated big bed in the hotel. Xu Hanchang and his grandpa lay together, but he was rarely at ease and slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Xu Hanchang received a call from the hospital, and was admitted to the chest ward on the fourth floor with his grandfather.

The person in charge of the bed happened to be the young doctor who billed Xu Hanchang yesterday. His surname was Guan, and he wore glasses as thick as the bottom of a bottle.

"Smoking? Alcohol? Any food or drug allergies?"

Xu Hanchang was at the side, watching with respect and envy, interjecting a few words from time to time.

After asking about the medical history, he said to Xu Hanchang: "I will arrange for the old man to draw blood later, and you will take all the local examinations and come with me to the doctor's office."

Xu Hanchang quickly followed with the big MRI bag.

There were many doctors in the office. After Dr. Guan went in, he found that all the computers were occupied, so he could only take out the film, put it on the film reader on the wall, and read it carefully.

Xu Hanchang was at the side, not daring to speak out.

"Well, the location is very clear." Dr. Guan said, "The director is on a business trip tomorrow, and I will make a plan for you after going through the ward round the day after tomorrow. I estimate the size."

"Then is it easy to treat, doctor." Xu Hanchang asked eagerly, "Is it benign or malignant?"

Dr. Guan is about the same height as Xu Hanchang. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Hanchang: "I'm not a pathology microscope, so I can see it? See the pathology results when I get the time."

Xu Hanchang blushed with embarrassment, and whispered, "Then how much will it cost?"

Dr. Guan sat by the table and motioned Xu Hanchang to sit too: "If it's benign, the cost of the operation and hospitalization will be about 13 to [-]. If it's malignant, our director has made it clear to you before, and now there are Targeted drugs can be taken, but they are not reimbursed, and the cost of surgery and chemotherapy is about [-]."

Xu Hanchang's heart sank and he lowered his head.

The director said before that, judging from the film, the possibility of malignancy is very high.

"A minimum of 3 yuan must be paid before the operation. If you want to switch to chemotherapy after the operation, you may have to pay in advance." Dr. Guan said bluntly.

Xu Hanchang nodded: "I see, I'll go down and hand it in now."

Dr. Guan nodded and found a vacant computer, rushed over to occupy it, and began to write medical records.

Xu Hanchang stood blankly in the doctor's office for a while, when a female doctor got up to drink water and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

He quickly backed out.

After he accompanied his grandfather to draw blood, Dr. Guan came to deliver a few orders, ECG chest X-ray and so on, and asked them to do pre-operative examination.

B University People's Hospital is indeed many times larger than the county hospital. Xu Hanchang took Grandpa Xu around and finished it in the afternoon.

"Grandpa, I'm going out to buy food, just wait." Xu Hanchang took a leather bag from the cupboard, put it in his arms and left the ward.

There are many payment windows, and there are long queues in front of each one.He paid the hospitalization fee to his grandfather at the window, and his bulging bag instantly deflated.

In exchange for a 5000 yuan hospitalization fee receipt.

He has less than 2000 yuan left now, and he is wondering whether to give the doctor a red envelope.

And the postoperative chemotherapy is simply an astronomical figure.

While thinking about this unsolvable problem, Xu Hanchang walked out of the hospital hall like a wandering soul.

It was almost five o'clock when we got off work, and there were still many people at the entrance of the hospital. The big searchlights illuminated the area like daytime.

There are many people leaning against the trash can and smoking, one after another. The wrinkles carved on the face by years of hard work are like a scratched life.

In the smog-filled room, I can't breathe out the misery of fate.

Xu Hanchang bought some fast food nearby, and looked at the tall buildings when he returned to the hospital.Walking slowly, among those people, I found an empty place on the steps.

He sat there with his head buried deeply.

There was a lot of noise in front of the outpatient building, and many people looked miserable, which was enough to cover up all the screams, not to mention the cries that were stuffed in their chests.

After a long time, it was completely dark, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Xu Hanchang's eyes were swollen and he even fell asleep crying. He quickly wiped his face and found his grandfather's bed doctor behind him.

"The clothes look like you." The young man hadn't been working in the clinic for long, so how could he have no compassion when he saw him like this.

He said to Xu Hanchang: "Just now someone paid your grandfather 20 yuan for hospitalization."

Xu Hanchang stood up abruptly, with tears still on his face, he said in disbelief, "How is that possible."

The little doctor smiled: "Is it your friend, and I came to the ward to see the old man."

Xu Hanchang stammered, "But, but..."

"I can still tease you with this." Dr. Guan is also really happy for him. Ever since he saw Xu Hanchang filling in the blanks in the hospital, he always felt very uncomfortable, "This is the first time our nurses saw six I was so scared that I quickly came to ask me.”

Xu Hanchang was surprised and even more disturbed. He said to the doctor: "I'm sorry, Doctor Guan, I'll go up and have a look!" Then he ran into the hospital, and climbed up to the fourth floor without waiting for the elevator.

"Grandpa!" Xu Hanchang rushed into the ward and said out of breath, "Did someone come just now?"

Grandpa Xu nodded: "Yes, the young man is very tall and looks really energetic! He is also a nice person, and he is polite. He also brought me something, but I said no, and chased him into the corridor, but he couldn't push it, so he stayed behind. The nurses who came in to measure blood sugar all looked at him, haha!"

Xu Hanchang's heart was pounding: "What's his name?"

"People didn't say it, but he meant it. You seem to have helped him the first time we met and repaid you." Grandpa Xu said, "Do you know who it is? Return the food to him. I don't need to eat this."

Xu Hanchang looked at the pile of bird's nests placed beside the bed, and his heart ached because of a guess.

Is it Zhuo Wen?

How did he know that grandpa was hospitalized here?

Is he here? Is it the hospital fee he paid for grandpa?

Xu Hanchang has been deliberately forgetting, and the wound that paralyzed himself was torn open again.While painfully recalling the scene of being humiliated by Zhuo Wen in front of so many people, he was moved by a completely opposite feeling.

In any case, Zhuo Wen's money saved him and his grandfather. In the face of such a great kindness, Xu Hanchang felt that he did not deserve any dignity.

If Zhuo Wen had easily lent money to him back then, and he hadn't endured so much despair and pain, then he wouldn't have been so grateful to Zhuo Wen.

He was even grateful that the previous humiliation was wiped out, and he would be treated like a cow for the rest of his life.

Xu Hanchang wanted to call Zhuo Wen, but found that his mobile phone did not have his number at all.

The previous mobile phone was lost on the way home, Xu Hanchang was annoyed and had to apply for another card, and spent 200 yuan to buy a second-hand smartphone.

He thought while walking towards the hospital payment office, no matter what, he had to thank Zhuo Wen and give him an IOU.

"Xu Hanchang!" Jiang Xingyuan stood in the corridor leading to the doctor's office, bumped into Xu Hanchang head-on, and blurted out a cry, as if he had been caught doing something bad.

"Ah, you..." Xu Hanchang stammered, without paying attention to Jiang Xingyuan's greeting, "Did you pay my grandpa's hospital bill?"

Jiang Xingyuan helped his forehead: "It's not me."

Xu Hanchang blinked, he didn't believe it at all.

Jiang Xingyuan said helplessly: "It's Tang Yuanshun, he is my friend. He is very rich, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you." Xu Hanchang said bitterly.

"Xingyuan." Just as he was speaking, Tang Yuanshun came out of the doctor's office, "Huh?"

"Thank you." Xu Hanchang bowed to him solemnly, "I'll give you an IOU."

Jiang Xingyuan complained: "It's all your fault, I said hurry up, you have to ask the doctor, he's back!"

Tang Yuanshun didn't push it, and took out a note and pen from his pocket and handed it to him: "Okay, you can write it. But you can't return it to me within ten years, and pay me 21 in ten years."

Jiang Xingyuan bumped him with his arm and winked.

Tang Yuanshun took his hand and put it into his arms.

"I asked you to help, I didn't ask you to lend usury, Tang Yuanshun!" Jiang Xingyuan whispered in Tang Yuanshun's ear.

Then he pulled out his hand and said to Xu Hanchang: "It's okay, you helped me before, and I'll help you pay back the interest."

Xu Hanchang said gratefully: "No, no, I am already very grateful if you are willing to lend me the money. Thank you." After speaking, he wrote an IOU and wanted to press his fingerprints.

Tang Yuanshun stopped him and put the IOU in his pocket: "Then let's go first."

Xu Hanchang sent the two of them downstairs, watched them get into a commercial vehicle, disappeared down the street before returning to the hospital.

"What are you doing!" In the car, Jiang Xingyuan pressed Tang Yuanshun's hand and asked with a blushing face.

Tang Yuanshun leaned over to him, and while kissing his mouth, he put his hand into the hem of his clothes: "Aren't you going to help someone pay off the interest? Words don't count?"

A thick black partition blocked the middle of the co-pilot and the rear seat, Jiang Xingyuan held his breath, and soon he was no match.

Although he was burdened with huge debts, the big stone on Xu Hanchang's chest was finally removed. He was so happy that he jumped up in the corridor and stomped his feet on the ground a few times.

According to what Dr. Guan said, the director really came to make rounds on Wednesday.But he saved a lot of patients because of business trips, so Grandpa Xu was not included in the operation list.

Xu Hanchang hesitated and wanted to go to the hospital to withdraw some money and give the director a red envelope.As a result, I was told that because it was a bank card recharge, the refund will be returned to the payment card number.

Grandpa didn't know that Xu Hanchang had borrowed the money, and he thought it was because they didn't pay the money, so the doctor didn't do it.Reassure him that this is also very good, and it may not be good to do it early.But Xu Hanchang was too scared. He was afraid of long nights and dreams, and he was afraid of his grandfather's illness developing.

Just when Xu Hanchang was at his wit's end, he finally received the phone call promised by his uncle.

"Hanchang." Xu Nuo's voice was very anxious, "I just heard from my father that my grandfather was hospitalized, where is he now?"

With uncle, no, it should be with his old classmate uncle.Grandpa Xu's pre-operative examination was completed quickly, and the operation was scheduled for a sunny Friday.

Uncle's old classmate looked very good. During the operation talk, the executive dean also came.Unlike the bed next door, where the informed consent was signed at the nurse's station where people come and go, the doctor's office was vacated the afternoon before the operation, and the head of the department was specially in charge of the hospital to talk to the doctor in charge of the bed.

For the effect of the operation, they did not recommend famous experts, and the director of the department did not recommend himself.Instead, after careful consideration, it was decided that two chief physicians with rich clinical experience, but not well-known in the industry because of poor scientific research, would be the surgeons.

The next morning, the operating room and the anesthesia came to pick up Grandpa Xu's bed and entered through the operating passage.Xu Hanchang couldn't let go, and followed all the way to the elevator.

Grandpa Xu waved his hand and asked him to go back: "What are you doing here, and you are not allowed in, go talk to your uncle!"

The elevator door closed the grandfather who was lying on the bed on the other side, and Xu Hanchang immediately ran downstairs to the door of the operating room.

Xu Nuo sat on the connecting chair with his old classmate, and when Xu Hanchang came down, Xu Nuo waved him immediately and asked him to sit and wait.

Xu Hanchang didn't go there, he found a place closest to the operating room, and sat down against the wall, as if he would sit on the floor until his grandfather came out.

In the end, he was kicked out by the security within a few seconds: "How do you push the bed when you sit here?! Go, go, go over there."

Xu Hanchang had no choice but to stand up and sit in the waiting area.

At the beginning, Xu Nuo sat next to Xu Hanchang and comforted him: "It's okay, the doctor also said that even if you plan for the worst, taking targeted drugs after the operation will be very effective."

Xu Hanchang couldn't listen at all, he stared at the corridor in the operating room, his whole body was tense.

The family members of patients like this surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and there was only a passageway that could pass through the operating bed. Every once in a while, the security guards would beat the sticks to drive people away: "Let's make way, let's make a way!"

"Family of xxx!" Every time a hospital bed is pushed out from inside, it will cause a small commotion.Several family members ran over quickly and surrounded the doctor who came out wearing a surgical gown.

Everyone who came out was not Grandpa Xu.

The operation took longer than expected, and in the evening, Xu Nuo finally couldn't help but fell asleep leaning against the tall man next to him.

Xu Hanchang's will has been worn down almost, he couldn't even eat a bite of the rice his uncle handed him, and he was sustaining it entirely by his will.

"Xu Debao's family! Xu Debao's family!"

Xu Hanchang stood up abruptly, his eyes were dark, he gathered his composure, and hurried to the doctor.

Dr. Guan was wearing a surgical gown, fully armed and wearing a mask and hat. He almost couldn't recognize him. His legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't even ask a word.

"The operation was successful. The pathology during the operation was benign, but the hilum was compressed, and the entanglement was really tight. Our director separated it for more than two hours. But the outcome was good, and it has been completely removed. This is the tumor." Dr. Guan was also exhausted, and he showed him a small piece of bloody meat in a transparent plastic envelope, "I sent the postoperative pathology, and the results will be available tomorrow."

Xu Nuo was so happy that he subconsciously grasped the hand of the man next to him, and quickly realized that he wanted to let go.

But the man held him firmly, not allowing him to break free.

Xu Hanchang stood opposite the doctor, his legs were a little weak.He didn't know what mood he was in right now.In the Chinese class before, there was no danger, and the shock was just settled. This kind of word needs to identify the meaning, and I learned a lot.

Only now did he know what it all meant.

Xu Hanchang didn't resent anything anymore.He doesn't resent the injustice of fate, and God doesn't show mercy; he doesn't resent his parents for abandoning him, nor does he resent Zhuo Wen's harm.All the hardships and injuries faded away when hearing the doctor's sentence, and became the insignificant ailments in the past life.

It's still there, it's still engraved on me.But there is no pain, no more bleeding.

He looked at the blue sky outside the window of the waiting area on the M floor, and tears finally fell.

In the future, he will live a new and better life with his grandfather.
