The Li Dawei brothers arrived at the city hospital around 5:30 in the morning. Li Manjun and his wife had already made arrangements at the hospital, and Old Li was directly pushed into the emergency room.
When Li Dalong saw his son Li Daniu also there, he asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Li Daniu said that Li Manjun told him, and he was a little angry that his father hid it from him, "Dad, why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened?"
The nurse took the payment slip and asked him to pay. Li Daniu was about to go over to pick it up, but was pulled by Li Dalong. Li Manjun winked at Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong took the payment slip and turned around and left.

At this time, she was too lazy to care so much.
Although she had no relationship with Old Man Li, seeing that Li Dawei was so anxious that he didn't even bring his glasses, as a child, she always felt soft-hearted and wanted to share more.
Li Manjun doesn't care about money matters, but she has to talk about people matters.
Seeing Li Dalong pulling Li Daniu out, Li Manjun shouted: "Uncle!"
Li Dalong paused, "What's going on?"
"Where are you going?" Li Manjun asked confused.
"Oh, Xiaoyong is going to pay the fee. How can he pay for it? I'll follow him and have a look." Li Dalong said without blushing or heartbeat.
Li Manjun glanced at him suspiciously, are you so generous?
Sure enough, in the next second, Li Dalong continued: "There is a number. When the time comes, your father, brother and I will share the sum equally."
Li Dawei followed him into the emergency room, and Li Manjun said, "Grandpa, in this situation, as the eldest son, you should stay here first. If something happens, my dad can't make up his mind alone."
This makes sense, so Li Daniu said: "Dad, please stay, I will go with Zhao Yong."
"No, brother, please stay here. If anything happens, Zhao Yong will just have to pay a fee." Li Manjun waved to both of them to come back.
Li Dalong couldn't leave, so he had to come back. He glanced at Li Manjun up and down. It was different now that he was married in the city. The elders had already been arranged.
Li Dawei called out to his eldest brother, and Li Manjun and others hurried in.
"The doctor said that my father broke his hip joint, and asked whether he should treat it conservatively first or go straight for surgery. They happen to have some good replacement materials here, which are imported. But my father is also old, so surgery is risky."
Li Dawei listened to Old Man Li screaming in pain. He had never seen his father look so pitiful and his eyes were red.
Li Dalong was blinded, "What is a hip joint? Which part of the hip joint is it? How much does the operation cost? Can it be wrapped well? At my father's age, can the bones grow back?"
The doctor glanced at Li Manjun and said, "The hip joint is the bone at the root of the thigh. The risk of surgery is indeed very high for my grandfather because he is old, but this surgery is now relatively mature. If it is done, my grandfather can still stand up and have no problem with basic movements."
"As for the cost of the surgery, if you have medical insurance, you can reimburse part of it, about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan."
"What?" Li Dalong and Li Daniu, father and son, gasped, "Sixty or seventy thousand?"
Moreover, Old Man Li doesn’t have medical insurance. How can people in the countryside have such a thing? So it’s not worth a hundred thousand?
Old Man Li, who was lying on the hospital bed, stopped crying in pain, looked at the familiar faces in front of him with cloudy eyes, and hesitated to speak.
Li Manjun couldn't describe the look on his face, but it just made people a little sad to see it.
At this moment, he was completely unable to make his own decisions and could only rely on the conscience of his two sons.
The doctor said helplessly: "Imported materials are indeed more expensive, and this part cannot be reimbursed."
Personally, he recommends surgery.
But out of professional ethics, he cannot make any decisions for the patient's family.
Li Dalong asked again about conservative treatment. The doctor said that he could only stretch it first, and then arrange a minor operation to insert steel nails to fix it. The possibility of self-healing was almost zero.
Therefore, in the later period, Old Man Li could only hold crutches or lie in bed, and it would take at least three months to recover from the wound. There were too many uncertainties for the elderly, and he could not guarantee that Old Man Li would be able to recover to a pain-free level after three months.
.
"If that's the case, surgery is definitely needed!" Li Dawei said without even thinking, "Just replace the imported joint. My dad can't lie down."
"Then, this, this..." Li Dalong looked at Li Manjun helplessly, "Your uncle is a farmer. How much money can he make from digging in the fields? You young people need to worry more."
Li Manjun definitely saw her grandfather look at her uncle in shock. At that look, he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or angry. Anyway, he knew that someone could afford the surgery for him. He closed his eyes again and lay there.
call.
Li Dawei immediately became anxious and asked the doctor if he could give the old man some painkillers or something.
Li Manjun is speechless.
"I just feel resentful about having such a father."
Outside the operating room, Li Manjun stood by the window with his arms folded, looking at the lively street downstairs, laughing softly at himself.
Zhao Yong handed over the breakfast he bought. It was already cold. Because it was noon now, he had been carrying the breakfast in his hand for several hours, and she didn't have time to come over to eat it.
Just like her father-in-law is worried about his father, she is also worried about her father.
The grandfather and grandson dragged each other one by one and worked hard all morning. Finally, they contacted the doctor who performed the surgery and pushed Old Man Li into the operating room first, eliminating the long wait in line.
As for Li Dalong, he was currently occupying a row of benches, covering his head with his clothes and sleeping soundly.
Li Daniu went to the station. The two aunts came over after getting the news, and he went to pick them up.
"You are all soft-hearted people who cannot bear to see others suffer." Zhao Yong opened the packaging bag and handed it over, "Eat quickly. If you don't eat and lose weight, who will give me a healthy wife?"
"You are just too entangled. The money has already been spent, and everything that should be done and shouldn't be done has been done, so don't think so much."
How do you say something?
"If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed." Zhao Yong said.
Li Manjun laughed, and took a big bite of the bun as if venting her anger on her husband's hand. Not to mention, the bun was a little colder, but it tasted pretty good.
Zhao Yong fed her one and then took another. Li Manjun ate them all, and then he squeezed another bottle of water and put it to his mouth.
Li Manjun was a little embarrassed and reached out to take it, but Zhao Yong raised his hand and refused to let it go.
Li Manjun kicked him lightly and said, "Don't make trouble!"
He smiled jokingly, "Be good, my husband will feed you."
"Zhao Yong, you are so stupid!" Li Manjun snatched the water from his hand, drank it in a big gulp, rolled his eyes at him, and asked, "Where did you learn that?"
"What I learned, couldn't I just realize it myself?" Zhao Yong asked funnyly.
In fact, I saw it in a literary romance movie.
Li Manjun stared at him suspiciously for two seconds, then walked away and asked his father to come over and sit for a while.
"Please squint for a while, the operation is not that fast." Li Manjun dragged Li Dawei to an empty chair and held him down directly, with a warning look in his eyes not to get up.
It's a pity that Li Dawei didn't wear glasses and couldn't see her warning eyes clearly, but his daughter felt sorry for him and felt comforted.
