Pingyang County, Bai Chongli's family.

"That's great!"

Contrary to Zhao Wenmu's expectation, the old man accepted his help without hesitation and even with joy.

In the previous chat, Zhao Wenmu had expressed his willingness to support him with a sum of money, but the old man just said cheerfully that he could still work for a few more years.

"Xiao Zhao, do you think I will still refuse?"

"The old man is not a pedantic person. Letting the children live a better life and letting Xiao Shan run and jump like a normal child is more important than anything else!"

Then the old man Bai Chongli told Zhao Wenmu that Bai Xiaoshan's left foot was disabled due to hip deformity. He took him to the hospital several times and the doctor's conclusion was clear.

It can be cured, but it is very difficult and requires multiple surgeries.

And the cost of surgery is very high.

"The doctor said that the surgery should be done before the child is ten years old. If it is later, the bones will be set and it will not be cured."

The old man sighed. The cost of the operation was very high. Although he had been working hard to save money, it was only a drop in the bucket.

He didn't know Zhao Wenmu's identity, he only knew that he was Zhao Zimeng, a relative of Zhang Yuanming's two children, and he was a little worried that the money would be heavy for the latter.

But I never thought that Zhao Wenmu would be very happy when he heard this.

"That's great! I was worried that I had missed the best age for surgery!"

"I'll arrange for Xiaoshan to go to the city hospital right away!"

Although he is not a doctor, he also knows that some operations on children have strict time requirements.

The old man didn't refuse when he saw this. He went back to the house and took out the money he had saved and handed it to Zhao Wenmu.

"Xiao Zhao, although this money is very small, it is of some use, so you can take it."

The old man opened the cloth bag carefully. Inside were various banknotes, some old and new, mostly a few cents. Some of them had been coded according to the denomination and tied with ropes, while others were scattered in the package.

It can be seen that this money is the result of the old man saving for a long time.

Zhao Wenmu hesitated for a moment, then carefully put away the cloth bag.

"Okay, Uncle Bai, I will accept the money!"

Bai Chongli smiled happily and called Bai Xiaoshan out of the room.

Zhao Wenmu stroked the little boy's head and asked with a smile:

"Xiaoshan, can I take you to the city to treat your feet?"

Bai Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Wenmu in disbelief.

Zhang Xiaohe, who followed Bai Xiaoshan, held onto the hem of his skirt tightly and couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

"Um!"

Bai Xiaoshan nodded heavily, his joy beyond words.

"The operation may be very painful, can you hold on?"

Perhaps due to illness or malnutrition, the little guy's hair was dry and yellow. Zhao Wenmu stroked it gently, his eyes filled with distress.

"I'm not afraid of pain, I can persevere!"

Bai Xiaoshan said loudly and firmly, clenching his fists in front of him.

"I can take care of Xiaoshan!"

Zhang Xiaohe added hastily.

"We can help too!"

Zhao Zimeng, Zhang Yuanming and Xiao Ziting, who were crowded at the door, were all excited.

Bai Chongli looked at a group of lively and cute children, his eyes full of smiles.

"Is this bitter? The farmer brothers bought this steamed bun with every drop of sweat. They threw it away, and I picked it up and ate it. Isn't it a waste?"

"I don't eat meat, fish, or shrimp. I save all my money and give it to needy students."

The old man has held on to this belief his whole life.

Recalling the news reports he had read, Zhao Wenmu felt that he felt happier at the moment.

Because he can also help this old man!

Zhao Wenmu took all the case information of Bai Xiaoshan from the old man Bai Chongli, and then asked Li Guofu to find connections in Quancheng City and contacted a well-known orthopedic surgeon at Quancheng City People's Hospital.

The conclusion given by the other party was the same as that of Pingyang County Hospital, and further results and treatment plans naturally need to be determined after seeing the patient in person.

"Xiao Shan, what do you want to do after your foot is cured?"

On the bus to Quancheng City, Zhao Wenmu asked the little boy sitting obediently next to him.

"Uncle Zhao, once my foot is cured, I can help my grandparents with their work!"

"I still have to go to school and support my grandparents in their old age in the future."

The little boy looked shy and hesitated for a while before continuing:

"I want to repay you for your great kindness!"

The old man taught him to repay kindness, but he kept it in mind.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Wenmu touched his little head and laughed heartily.

"Okay! Then you have to study hard!"

"Um!"

…

After diagnosis by doctors in Quancheng City, Bai Xiaoshan's ankle deformity was severe and the surgery could not achieve the expected results at one time.

You can only perform an operation first for preliminary correction, and then proceed to the next step of correction after it has grown for a period of time and the bones, tendons, and nerves have recovered to a certain extent.

This process takes at least three times and takes about a year.

The pain is so severe that even adults would hesitate.

"Xiaoshan, are you ready?"

Outside the gesture room, Zhao Wenmu held Bai Xiaoshan's thin little hand and cheered him up for the last time.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm ready!"

After several days of consultation, the doctor has formulated a detailed treatment plan, and Zhao Wenmu is also working hard to improve the little guy's nutrition these days.

"come on!"

Bai Xiaoshan's operation went smoothly. After a few days of rest in the hospital, Zhao Wenmu and he took a ride from a state-owned hotel back to Pingyang County.

After that comes a long period of recovery. During this period, the growth and recovery of the surgical site and appropriate rehabilitation training will be accompanied by great pain.

At the same time, it must be ensured that no secondary injuries occur at the surgical site during this period of time.

This is the biggest test.

Not only to Bai Xiaoshan, but also to the people who take care of him.

Zhang Xiaohe, Zhao Zimeng, and Zhang Yuanming, the three little carrot heads, really managed to help take care of Bai Xiaoshan while selling maltose and Monkey King Pill.

Then the same process is repeated again and again.

Before Bai Xiaoshan's second surgery, the wedding date of Zhao Wenjun and Zheng Guangming was approaching day by day.

During these days, everyone in the Zhao family was very happy and busy buying wedding supplies.

Zheng Guangming's side is naturally no exception.

"Amu, I want to buy a house in the county. Where do you think is suitable?"

When Zheng Guangming just got engaged, he came to Zhao Wenmu to consult about buying a house.

Although the Zheng family's old house is also in Pingyang County, it is already on the edge of the county and is indeed very old.

If you ask Zhao Wenmu where is the best place to buy a house, he will undoubtedly recommend a nursing home community.

Unfortunately, there are currently no houses in the community, and Zhao Guangming cannot wait too long.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you build one yourself?"

Zhao Wenmu thought for a long time and found no good houses in the city.

Although policies have begun to mention commercial housing, the small town of Pingyang does not yet have such a thing.

“Build your own house?”
