Chapter 43 [Mom].
Ji Xu didn't know how he got to the hospital.
Simply because he was very popular, he asked Brother Zhao from the Internet cafe to take care of his grandfather first, and forced himself to calm down, leaning outside to wait for the doctor's examination.
He didn't know that he was shaking all over.
It seemed to go back to the time when his grandma was hospitalized when he was a child, and he waited at the door in such panic, listening to his parents calling everywhere to borrow money, weeping in fear.
Fortunately, the examination did not last long, and the doctor came out seriously: "Who is the family member?"
Ji Xu almost bounced, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am, how is my grandma?"
He looks too young.
The doctor shook his head: "Is there anyone else in your family? We need someone who can take charge."
Ji Xu: "There is no one else, I'm an adult, and if I can take charge, you can do whatever you want."
"Okay then," the doctor said, afraid that he wouldn't understand, and tried to use as little technical terms as possible, "The old man was in a hurry when he stood up, which caused a rupture of the heart artery and required a heart stent, but Yunzhao couldn't do it." Doctors who perform this kind of surgery need to be transferred to Haishi immediately."
--
That night.
Hai Central Hospital.
Ji Xu signed the contract, paid a deposit of [-] yuan, and watched his grandma being pushed into the operating room before covering his face and squatting down against the wall.
The icy floor was blown by the cold wind squeezed in from the outside, which made people feel chills.
He buried himself in his arms and remained silent for a long time.
The phone buzzed twice.
Ji Xu moved and scratched open: "Hey..."
It was Brother Zhao's voice from the internet cafe: "Hey! Xiao Xu, your grandfather is very good with me. I didn't tell him. Don't worry, the old lady is fine. How did I hear that he was transferred to Haishi again? "
"Is it serious? Is the money enough? I'll collect some for you. If it's not enough, I'll borrow it for you. The neighbors are willing to help."
"I have ordered the dividends for next month, and they are willing to give you in advance..."
As Ji Xu listened, his heart choked so badly that he couldn't help biting his wrist, almost bleeding out from the bite.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zhao, the money is still enough. The only thing I'm lucky about now is that my money is still enough..."
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to pay the deposit.
Grandma can't even do surgery...
He didn't cry, and forced back the redness in his eyes, "Brother Zhao, please take care of my grandpa first, and tell him when my grandma is fine."
"If he knows that grandma is in the hospital, you tell him that it's just a minor problem, and you'll be back after a checkup."
Brother Zhao sighed: "Okay, I know, you take care of yourself, don't keep asking for money, you will be fine."
Ji Xu hung up the phone, walked to the stairwell, and clicked on the address book again.
It was remarked as [Dad], [Mother] and [Brother] numbers, and he called them one by one again and again.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off, please try again later, Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off..."
"Sorry, the number you called..."
"Sorry……"
He hit it countless times.
The phone almost shuts off.
He rented a power bank and called again.
...he gave up.
The repeated 'sorry' in the stairwell finally quieted down, so quiet that it was almost pale.
-
Su family.
Jiang Xing felt uneasy for some reason.
It's been almost a day, and the message he sent to Ji Xu seems to have disappeared without any response.
This is not normal.
It was already dark outside, affected by the cold air, it was also snowing in Haishi, and it was covered in fog.
It was at this time that Zeng Zhi's phone call came in.
Jiang Xing was stunned when he saw it, "Hello?"
The person on the other side was quite anxious: "Hey? Brother Xing, do you know that something happened to Lao Ji's family? He is in the Central Hospital of Haishi now. Isn't your family in Haishi? How is he doing now?"
Jiang Xing's heart sank: "What did you say?"
"You really don't know?" Zeng Zhi was surprised, "When I went to the Internet cafe to play games, I heard people talking about his grandma having something wrong, Yunzhao couldn't cure it, and was sent to Haishi..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a busy tone from the phone.
Zeng Zhi was stunned, looked at the phone that was hung up, and muttered, "It shouldn't be..."
With a sullen face, Jiang Xing put on his clothes and hurried out. In the end, he paused, turned back, took his credit card from the drawer, put it in his pocket, called a car on his phone, and strode out of the house. .
Uncle Liu called him, "Hey? Master, where are you going so late?"
Jiang Xing said, "Don't worry about me, I have something to do, so I won't be coming back."
He pushed open the door and disappeared into the wind and snow. The cold wind from outside swept in through the night, and snowflakes fell all over the branches one after another.
Haizhong Central Hospital is very busy, and people who come and go in a hurry all feel cold, and Jiang Xing is no exception.
It took him a long time to find out where Grandma Ji Xu was.
The lights in the operating room were still on, but there was no one at the door.
Jiang Xing was a little out of breath. After searching for a long time, he found Ji Xu who was sitting on the steps with his head down, and was in a daze.
In fact, they hadn't seen each other for a few days.
But God is very good at joking, no one thought that we would meet again in such a place.
Jiang Xing held back his breath without making a sound, walked down the steps step by step, sat next to Ji Xu, then held his cold hand, put it in his pocket——
Just like Ji Xu warming his hands before.
Jiang Xing said softly, "Are you okay?"
Ji Xu seemed to be conscious, turned his head slowly, blinked, as if trying to pull out a smile, but failed, the expression on his face made one think he was going to cry for a moment, but he didn't cry.
After a while, he spoke hoarsely: "...Why are you here?"
The stairwell was cold, and there was the smell of smoke wafting up from below, as well as the chatter of phone calls, coughing, and suppressed crying.
Jiang Xingan looked at him quietly.
When he first went to Yunzhao to go to school, he had sharp thorns all over his body, resisting everything around him with impatience and indifference, and isolated himself in his own world.
But in less than half a year, the sharpness on his body is like honey melted by the temperature, and he can learn to care for others, without worrying that he will hurt them.
Jiang Xing squeezed Ji Xu's cold and stiff fingers, and said, "I think you are cold, so I come to warm your hands."
Ji Xu's nose was a little sore, "I'm not cold."
Jiang Xing followed him: "Okay, I'm cold, can you warm me up?"
Ji Xu finally leaned over, put his chin on Jiang Xing's shoulder, closed his eyes, tired and dazed: "Jiang Xing... my grandma had an accident, I dare not go to the door of the operating room to guard..."
"I'm terrified of being alone..."
He is really scared.
His brother visited him at school once before, and said that he was doing a project with his parents abroad, so he might not be able to get in touch... It was common for him not to be able to get through to his family members.
But this time is different.
He can't let grandpa come with him. If grandma has an accident, grandpa can't have another accident.
Jiang Xing silently patted him on the back without asking other members of his family, feeling a dull pain in his heart.He is not good at comforting, but now he really wants to say something, to tell Ji Xu not to be so sad.
"Grandma Ji will be fine."
Jiang Xing thought for a while and said seriously, "She is so gentle and kind. She gave me blessings when I was an adult and gave you blessings too. We can return the blessings now, and she will be safe and sound."
"She loves you the most. Knowing that you return the blessing, you will definitely get better. Sing the blessing again..."
Noticing Ji Xu's tense body, Jiang Xing whispered, "It's cold here, let's wait at the door, I'll accompany you."
After a long time, Ji Xu nodded and silently clenched Jiang Xing's fingers.
--
Near midnight, the lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor came out and said to the two teenagers guarding outside: "The operation was successful. The old man is out of danger. He can be transferred to the general ward tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If there is no accident, he can be transferred to another hospital."
The Haishi ward is tense, and patients with no problems are generally advised to be transferred to the local hospital for recuperation, or go home directly.
Ji Xu was suddenly stunned, the heart he had been carrying fell to the ground suddenly, and his footsteps were trembling: "Thank you doctor..."
Doctor: "There are follow-up hospitalization procedures and expenses, and the family members will confirm it."
Ji Xu: "Okay."
Grandma Ji was pushed into the intensive care unit, and they couldn't go in for the time being.
Excluding the operation fee, Ji Xi actually didn't have much money left. Fortunately, Brother Zhao had already told others that the next month's dividend would be credited to his card a few days in advance.
But by the time he paid the rest, he had hundreds of dollars left on him.
Next, grandma's self-cultivation should not be sloppy, and it is not a small sum of money.
When Ji Xu was holding his phone and was about to borrow some money, Jiang Xing handed over a card with calm eyes.
"This is what I have saved in the past few years. There are more than 6 in it. You use it first."
He planned to leave the Su family with this money, but he was in a hurry and he still had time to save more, but Ji Xu couldn't wait.
Ji Xu didn't answer.
"I can't, this is the money you saved yourself."
Jiang Xing said, "I don't need it for the time being."
Ji Xu shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you when I really have no choice."
He insisted not to take it, but Jiang Xing had no choice but to put the card back first.
When everything was settled, Ji Xu's cell phone rang suddenly, and he looked at the caller ID——
[Mother].
"..."
Ji Xu's eyebrows showed a look that made Jiang Xing feel strange.
He paused, stood up and left a separate space for Ji Xu, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Jiang Xing sat down on a chair next to the hospital bathroom, and finally had time to check the messages on his phone. There were quite a few messages, including messages from Lu Feicheng, Ms. Ruan, and a few messages from Zeng Zhi.
After he left at night, he sent a message to Ms. Ruan on the way, saying that he was going to help a friend, and then he stayed with Ji Xu all the time... But it seems that Ms. Ruan misunderstood that his friend was Lu Feicheng, and even called to ask about it.
I didn't expect it to be.
The time Jiang Xing read his mother's last message was 2 minutes ago, so he should not be asleep yet.
He sighed and called Ms. Ruan back: "Hello, Mom?"
Ms. Ruan: "Xiao Xing, where are you? If you don't come home at night, what kind of friend are you?"
Jiang Xing rubbed the center of his brows: "...It's a friend from Yunzhao. His family is in the hospital except for a few things, and I'm with him."
He briefly explained what happened.
After listening, Ms. Ruan said, "Is that so... what about the rest of his family, do you want mom to go and have a look?"
Jiang Xing: "No need, I'm fine now, I won't go back tonight, you should go to bed early."
He hung up the phone, looked at Lu Feicheng's message, but couldn't read it anymore, so he turned off the phone.He estimated that it was almost time before he went back.
Ji Xu's mobile phone was placed beside him, his forearm was propped on his knees, his head was lowered, and the pale cold light of the hospital fell on him.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly raised his head to look at Jiang Xing, his eyes flushed.
Like a big homeless dog curled up on a snowy night.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Xing takes Ji Xu's dog home.
