Lu Xiaozhan took An Qi and Bai Dinghai to a cafeteria. They had just eaten and had not eaten much when they suddenly saw people at the tables next to the window pointing and talking outside the window. Lu Xiaozhan turned his head in the direction and looked at the zebra crossing in the middle of the road.
There was an old lady lying on the bed, with a plastic bag beside her and some biscuits and other things scattered around. She was trying to get up shakily. Pedestrians passing by speeded up and walked around, but no one was willing to step forward to help her.
Pick up the old lady.
Lu Xiaozhan stood up and said angrily: "What kind of world is this? There are so many people and no one is willing to help?" As he said that, he rushed out the door and ran over.
The old lady didn't seem to have suffered a serious fall, and there was no blood on the ground. She was just too old to be strong. Lu Xiaozhan ran to her side, hugged her with one arm, carried her to the roadside, helped her sit on the stone edge of the green belt, and then ran back.
He picked up the plastic bag in the middle of the street, walked back to the old lady, and asked with concern: "Old lady, did you get hurt anywhere?"
The old lady rubbed her forehead, shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, thank you, young man."
Seeing that the old lady was still sitting and unable to stand up, Lu Xiaozhan flagged down a taxi and helped the old lady up: "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Your legs are still weak and you can't walk. I can't just pat you down like this."
Get off your butt."
Several onlookers nearby shouted: "Young man, be careful if someone relies on you!" "This kid is full and waiting to be defrauded."
Lu Xiaozhan ignored her and said to An Qi who followed him out: "Let the cabbage eat slowly here, and let's take the old lady to the hospital for a checkup. It would be too shameful to leave her on the road at such an old age."
An Qi nodded, stepped forward and helped the old lady get into the car, and went straight to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Lu Xiaozhan asked An Qi to help the old lady find a place to sit first. He ran back and forth to register and pay, and then accompanied the old lady in for examination and filming. He worked for an hour before the results came out. The doctor on duty came out.
After watching the film, he said to Lu Xiaozhan: "The old man is fine. It's just the low blood sugar that causes dizziness and falls. I suggest you stay in the hospital for two days for observation." As he spoke, he wrote down a list and said with a smile, "Young man.
You're lucky, there happens to be a bed today, otherwise your grandma wouldn't have a place to stay...just pay."
Lu Xiaozhan took the order and replied: "She is not my grandma, I picked her up on the road."
The doctor was stunned and muttered to Lu Xiaozhan's running back: "Is this kid suffering from water in his brain?"
After arranging the old lady to go into the ward and lie down, Lu Xiaozhan asked: "Old lady, have you contacted your family? Is it okay to leave you here alone at this late night?"
The old lady smiled: "My son is too busy, my wife is on a business trip again, and I am the only one at home. I'm fine, just lie down and rest. Thank you, young man. Please leave me an address and wait for me."
I'll bring you the money after I leave the hospital."
Lu Xiaozhan was anxious: "I don't care about the money, but no matter how busy your son is, you still have to take care of you as a mother? Give me your number and I'll call him."
The old lady had no choice but to call out a series of numbers, and Lu Xiaozhan dialed the number and waited for the other party to answer.
"Hello?" There was a calm-sounding male voice on the other end of the phone.
Lu Xiaozhan yelled angrily: "Hey! Your mother is lying in the hospital, and you look quite idle. Come here quickly!"
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with my mother? Which hospital is she in? I'll come right now!"
Lu Xiaozhan told him the hospital and ward number, put down the phone, took the old lady's hand and said with a smile: "Old lady, your son is quite filial. He was so anxious when he heard you entered the hospital. Don't worry, he will be here soon.
It's time, I should leave first, I've only eaten half of this meal, but I'm starving."
The old lady hurriedly grabbed Lu Xiaozhan's hand: "Young man, don't leave yet. When my son comes, I have to let him thank you in person."
Lu Xiaozhan said nonchalantly: "Why are you thanking me? Why don't I help you come to the hospital? I don't have a grandma. If I had one, I would care about her more than anyone else."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then lovingly touched the back of Lu Xiaozhan's hand and said softly: "Young man, you have such a kind heart. Your grandma must be very lucky if she is still alive. You see, I am quite boring lying here.
If you can't bear it any longer, can you talk to me?"
Lu Xiaozhan thought about it, and he did not hesitate to leave the old lady alone in the ward. He nodded and agreed.
About half an hour later, the door to the ward was pushed open suddenly, and a middle-aged man walked in, followed by a young man who looked like a secretary. The middle-aged man had a Chinese character face, not angry or assertive, and his whole body
She looked serious and capable, and just when she called her mother, she saw the old lady with a smile on her face, chatting and laughing with a young man with a plaster on his right arm, and a graceful young girl beside her.
Accompanying me, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The old lady waved to the middle-aged man: "Awen, come here. This is the young man who sent me to the hospital today. You have to thank him properly."
Lu Xiaozhan shook his head and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Thank you or not, forget it. Hey, how did you become a son? You are so rosy, but your mother was so hungry that she had hypoglycemia. How could you be so caring?"
My son’s?”
The middle-aged man was stunned: "Hypoglycemia? I don't know." He turned back to the old lady and asked, "Mom, didn't I tell you to eat more? How did you get yourself into such a disease?
?”
The old lady sighed: "You are away from home all year round, so I can't eat that much by myself. I eat less and less every day, and it becomes hypoglycemia. After dinner today, I thought about buying some biscuits for you.
You were so busy that you didn't have time to rest your stomach while eating, and as a result, you got dizzy and fell down when you were running on the road. If I hadn't run into Xiao Zhan, I would have been hit by a car and no one would have cared about me."
The middle-aged man looked ashamed. He stepped forward and held Lu Xiaozhan's left hand tightly, shook it, and said gratefully: "Thank you, young man!" He took out a wallet that was not old and new, "How much did it cost? I still have to pay for it."
for you."
Lu Xiaozhan smiled: "Don't mention money anymore, I just accepted the old lady as my godmother."
The middle-aged man was stunned and turned to look at his mother: "Mom, what are you...?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "You are not at home often, and your wife always runs away. Xiao Zhan is a good boy, and there are no adults at home. I can talk to him if I have nothing to do. Do you have any objections?
Opinion? Anyway, he recognizes me as his grandmother, and he doesn’t recognize you as his godfather."
The middle-aged man quickly shook his head: "No objection, no objection." After saying that, he turned to Lu Xiaozhan and smiled, "Who is Xiaozhan? Since you have accepted my mother as your stepmother, you can call me Uncle Zhu from now on. My full name is Zhu Congwen.
.”
Lu Xiaozhan called Uncle Zhu openly, and the young man behind Zhu Congwen suddenly came over and whispered: "Secretary Zhu, what time will the meeting continue tomorrow? I can inform you."
Zhu Congwen thought for a moment: "Make a reservation for me at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. Xiaoxiang, you go first."
Lu Xiaozhan watched the secretary named Xiang leave the ward and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, why don't you find a female secretary? Isn't it popular now?"
Zhu Congwen smiled: "If I'm looking for a female secretary, I can't look for someone too pretty, otherwise the Discipline Inspection Commission will have to look for me."
Lu Xiaozhan smiled disdainfully: "Isn't it just a female secretary? How can we invite the Discipline Inspection Commission? Oh, by the way, Uncle Zhu, where are you the secretary?"
Before Zhu Congwen could speak, Mrs. Zhu interrupted with a smile: "Your Uncle Zhu is the Party Secretary of Tianhai City. He is often on TV. Have you never seen him?"
Lu Xiaozhan was shocked: "What...what? Uncle Zhu, you..."
Zhu Congwen smiled and patted Lu Xiaozhan on the shoulder and teased: "What's wrong? Didn't you just scold me for not knowing how to be a son? Now I'm scared like a chicken?"
Lu Xiaozhan forced a smile: "I...I wasn't scared at all. I just thought I accidentally recognized the secretary's mother as my grandmother. I was a little confused."
Zhu Congwen took out a stack of money from his wallet and put it seriously into Lu Xiaozhan's hand: "Xiao Zhan, society is so indifferent now. It's very rare that you can do things that others don't want to do. You are very good."
Then he joked, "If you don't accept this money, I'm afraid someone will label me as a bribe-taker!"
Lu Xiaozhan reluctantly accepted the money and said goodbye to Zhu Congwen and Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu did not stay with him this time, but urged him to eat quickly so as not to starve himself. Zhu Congwen also got up and saw Lu Xiaozhan off.
He and An Qi walked out of the hospital gate, held Lu Xiaozhan's hand and said with a smile: "Xiaozhan, my mother seems to like you very much. If you have time, please spend more time with her for my unfilial son. Thank you in advance."
.”
Lu Xiaozhan smiled and said: "Uncle Zhu, please don't be so polite. I know you have a heavy responsibility and can't take time off. Don't worry, I will visit my godmother more often."
After saying goodbye to Secretary Zhu, Lu Xiaozhan took An Qi's little hand and walked slowly on the road, sighing: "Honey, today's matter has made me come to a conclusion."
An Qi blinked: "What conclusion? It's good to help others?"
Lu Xiaozhan smiled sheepishly: "If you have nothing to do, watch the news more, so as not to get scolded by me next time when you meet some leader."
