As soon as Chen Hong put down the phone, two female colleagues next to him asked with a smile: "Is your boyfriend here?" Chen Hong shook his head and said: "No, he went to the county to do business." The two female colleagues asked again: "When will we treat you to dinner?
Wedding candy?" Chen Hong thought of her parents' words and was confused about their future, saying: "I don't know either, but he said he will buy a house soon."
The eyes of the two female colleagues lit up. One of them said: "You want to buy a house? It seems that becoming the deputy mayor is different. With more money, you can buy a house soon!" The other one said
One person said: "They have a lot of gray income in their towns, so buying a house is not a problem at all. By the way, are you optimistic about any real estate?"
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "I'm not optimistic yet." One of the female colleagues recommended excitedly: "Hongda Garden is very good, right next to the county government office. When completed, it should be the newest and most high-end community in our county.
"
Chen Hong rarely worries about family affairs and pays little attention to real estate. She has heard people talk about this "Hongda Garden" but doesn't know much about it. At this time, she heard from a female colleague that it is the newest and most high-end property in the county.
She couldn't help but ask more questions about her neighborhood. The three of them chatted a lot about the house while eating KFC before returning to school.
At this time, Xiao Zheng was almost at Anxian International Hotel. In an Audi car behind the International Hotel, County Party Committee Secretary Xiao Jingyu was waiting for Xiao Zheng. They agreed on a time to meet, which was in the afternoon.
It's half past one, and there are still about ten minutes left. Xiao Jingyu will rest here at noon today, and plans to go back to the county party committee to work directly after getting Xiao Zheng's tea.
When there was only one intersection left before Anxian International Hotel, Xiao Zheng's cell phone suddenly rang again.
Xiao Zheng didn't want to answer it at first, but his cell phone kept ringing. Xiao Zheng had to stop his motorcycle, took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from home.
Xiao Zheng was a little confused. The parents in Green Water Village were supposed to be working in the mine at this time. They didn't have a break at noon. But this call was indeed from home. Could it be that something had happened?
What's going on? Xiao Zheng hurriedly answered the phone.
I heard the anxious voice of my mother Fei Qingmei: "Xiao Zheng, something happened to your father." When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked urgently: "What happened?"
Fei Qingmei said: "Your father was coughing this morning, with chest tightness and difficulty breathing. I asked him to rest for a day, but he refused, so he went to work again. But at noon, his cough became worse and he still couldn't breathe.
I’m coughing up blood!”
Xiao Zheng knew about his father's cough and persuaded him to go to the county hospital last time. He insisted that there was no big problem, so he didn't go.
Xiao Zheng just heard Fei Qingmei say that his father had an accident, and he thought there was a mining accident. Now it sounds like he is finally fine. Xiao Zheng asked again: "Is there anything else?" Fei Qingmei was a little anxious on the other end of the phone: "Others"
, what else do you want? He has coughed up blood, and now he is lying on the bed. Breathing is like blowing a bellows. It is very difficult. He coughs frequently, and coughs up tears and mucus. Even if he wipes it with a towel, it will be bloodshot."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he felt that the problem was serious, and the scary words "lung cancer" could not help but pop up in his mind. Xiao Zheng said hurriedly: "I will go home now and take my father to the county hospital for treatment." Fei Qingmei said: "But
You only have a motorcycle, and your father can’t sit on a motorcycle like this."
Xiao Zheng said: "Mom, don't worry, we have cars in town." There was another coughing sound from the other end of the phone. There was no doubt that it was her father who was coughing violently. Fei Qingmei panicked again, her voice full of excitement.
With a cry in his voice: "Xiao Zheng, then you should come back right away."
Xiao Zheng was anxious, but he knew that if something happened to his father, he would be the backbone of the family. His mother could panic, but he could not. Xiao Zheng immediately called Gao Zhengping, director of the town People's Congress: "Director Gao, this afternoon you
Do you want to use a car?"
Now, Xiao Zheng and Gao Zhengping shared an official car, so he called Gao Zhengping.
Gao Zhengping is the director of the National People's Congress, so there is no big deal, but he planned to take a car out for a walk in the afternoon. When Xiao Zheng asked, Gao Zhengping said, if you want to use the car, just use it. Xiao Zheng explained to Gao Zhengping
, said that his old father had some health problems and wanted to go to the county town for a visit. Gao Zhengping was also considerate and said: "Then take it and use it! Things at home are very important, don't delay."
Xiao Zheng called the driver Xiao Zhong and asked him to wait for him in the town.
The problem with the car was solved. Xiao Zheng rushed to the town. After driving two or three kilometers, Xiao Zheng remembered that the purpose of coming to the county today was to deliver tea to "Xiaoyue". He was called by his mother just now.
I was in a hurry, so I turned around and went back to town when I had nothing to do.
While driving, Xiao Zheng took out his mobile phone and called "Xiaoyue": "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry, I was already at the door of Anxian International Hotel just now, but when I got a call from home, my dad coughed very badly.
It's difficult to breathe. I have to rush back right now to take him to the hospital. Old Chaye, I can only give it to you at another time."
Xiao Jingyu had been waiting in the car for about ten minutes, but she didn't expect Xiao Zheng to stop coming after saying he couldn't come. After arriving in An County, this was the first time Xiao Jingyu was let off the hook. She said, "You're lying to me, right?" Xiao Zheng said:
"I'm riding a motorcycle right now. If I lie to you, I'll fall to death immediately!"
Xiao Jingyu was startled, how dare he swear such a poisonous oath! When he listened to the phone again, there was indeed a whistling wind coming from the other end of the phone. It seemed that he was not lying. Just now, she just waited for more than ten minutes just because she was doing it, and just said casually,
Hearing him swear like this, he said: "Okay, you go and do your work first. But I must drink your tea." After waiting for so long, Xiao Jingyu wanted to waste the ten minutes or so.
I want to drink this old tea too.
Xiao Zheng said: "I will send dad to you after I have settled him in the hospital." When he heard the word "hospital", Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but think of Xiao Zheng's time when he had placed her in the hospital, and said: "In this way,
After you get to the county hospital, give me a call and I will help you find a good doctor."
Xiao Zheng was a little surprised: "Do you know the doctor at the hospital?" Xiao Yue said: "We all need to be familiar with each other." Xiao Zheng heard her words of determination and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Xiao Zheng returned to the town, parked his motorcycle, and immediately got into the official car, asking the driver Xiao Zhong to go straight to Lushui Village. His father Xiao Rongrong, who was coughing and bleeding, looked very weak. With Xiao Zheng's help, he finally got on
He got into the back seat of the car. His mother, Fei Qingmei, also sat next to him and took care of him.
Xiao Zhong drove very fast and skillfully, and arrived at the County People's Hospital in a few dozen minutes of jolting. Because there was only such a big hospital in the entire county, the number of patients was overwhelming, and the nurses who were so busy that they were dizzy didn't have much patience. You ask
Just one sentence, they will yell at you impatiently. Xiao Zheng wanted to register an expert account, but the expert account is no longer available.
Xiao Zheng remembered "Xiaoyue"'s words, allowing him to find her. But Xiao Zheng thought that he had promised "Xiaoyue" that he would not make any demands on her again, nor would he ask her for help casually. Besides, "
After all, "Xiaoyue" came to run a business from out of town. If she wanted to find a doctor in the county, she would have to ask her friends for help, so she would have to owe a favor.
Instead of looking for "Xiaoyue", it is better to ask his girlfriend Chen Hong to help ask. After all, Chen Hong's father is the director of agriculture. He is a well-known and resourceful person in the county. It is normal to know the leaders of the county hospital or an expert doctor.
.
Xiao Zheng called Chen Hong. Chen Hong had just finished a class and returned to the office to handle the school's administrative affairs when he received a call from Xiao Zheng.
Upon hearing that something had happened to Xiao Zheng's father, Chen Hong was also worried for Xiao Zheng and hurriedly said: "Xiao Zheng, I don't know any experts in the county hospital, but my father must have. Last time, a relative on my mother's side was sick.
Yes, it was my dad who helped contact me. Don’t worry, I’ll call my dad right away.”
Xiao Zheng said: "That's great, I'll wait for your call." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng said to his parents: "Chen Hong said that her father knew a doctor, so she went to ask." Sun Wenmin nodded and said.
"That's good, that's good." Xiao Rongrong coughed violently again, his whole face turned red and he was speechless.
The hospital lobby and corridors were crowded with people coming and going. Xiao Zheng waited anxiously. About ten minutes passed, but Chen Hong's call never came back.
Chen Hong was also anxiously waiting in the office. Chen Hong had already called her father, and Chen Guangming also answered the phone. However, Chen Guangming never called back.
What Chen Hong didn't know was that after hearing Chen Hong's explanation of the situation, Chen Guangming did not immediately help contact the hospital or doctor. Instead, he called his wife Sun Wenmin.
When Sun Wenmin heard this, he was a little surprised: "Hemoptysis? Could it be lung cancer?" Chen Guangming said: "Our Fengqi Village in Tianhuang Town is now a high-incidence area for pneumoconiosis, and there are many people suffering from strange diseases."
Sun Wenmin said: "Things are really happening one after another in the Xiao family. Guangming, my current idea is that my daughter cannot marry Xiao Zheng. For a rural family like theirs, even if their son is promising, the family situation will not be like this in the future.
That thing, that thing, will definitely hold us back! Our daughter really cannot marry into such a family."
Chen Guangming was originally dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng's work in charge of safety supervision. Now that he heard about Xiao's father's lung disease, he was even more interested in keeping a distance from Xiao Zheng and his family. He said: "Then, I will do this for their family."
I won’t help. After all, if it’s really lung cancer, it can’t be cured even by experts.”
Sun Wenmin also said: "Yes, I won't help anymore. You also tell Chen Hong and let her decline politely, and also ask her not to go to the hospital to see Xiao Zheng's father. Let's just end it like this."
Seeing that his father had not called back for a long time, Chen Hong couldn't wait any longer and called his father again: "Dad, how is your help?" Chen Guangming said: "Chen Hong, there is something I want to tell you, too.
What your mother means is that you'd better not get involved in the affairs of Xiao Zheng and his family. Their family is not the same as ours, and it will hold you back in the future."
Chen Hong was a little surprised and said: "Dad, why are you getting involved in this matter again? Now, Xiao Zheng just wants you to do a favor and contact an expert doctor."
Chen Guangming said: "I can't help with this. Do you know? Xiao Zheng's father is likely to have lung cancer. Treatment in the future will bankrupt the family. Even if he is a deputy department leader, it will not be useful. I think so, take advantage of it
Forget this opportunity, you and Xiao Zheng, according to your conditions in our county, there will be no problem at all in finding a serious leader to marry."
