Niu Bo took out a small knife, pushed aside the surface layer of soil, and dug out the things underneath bit by bit. Finally, he could see the whole thing clearly. It was round, about twenty centimeters in diameter, and about ten centimeters thick.
Like a piece of dark-colored pork belly. Niu Bo examined it for a long time, could it be that thing?
Two days later, Uncle Jiu's family was together. Today was the weekend. The second sister who was in junior high school and the younger brother who was in elementary school came over. They looked at their parents looking haggard. The two children had also become very sensible at this time, eight years old.
When the younger brother saw Niu Bo coming, he quickly moved a stool for Niu Bo to sit down. Then he watched from the side and Niu Bo touched his head.
"Xiaobo, you see you are here again. My eldest brother (Niu Weihua) also came here two days ago. You see, you can just come and sit with us and have fun. What else should you bring with you?" Uncle Jiu's expression became more and more complex.
Poor, obviously the knot in my heart has not been resolved.
"Uncle Jiu, just rest. My second sister and my little brother are here too. Yes, there's no one at home to take care of them. Uncle Jiu, when I get back, my little brother can just stay and eat at my house every day. I won't live at home. I have room at home."
Niu Bo saw that his second sister's tears had not been wiped dry, so he thought it was because of his father's illness and did not ask why.
"Your second sister is about to take the high school entrance examination. She has to pay hundreds of dollars for the registration fee and material fees. Seeing your uncle Ninth like this, he said that if he didn't pass the exam, he would go work with her sister. Her grades are not bad.
She can also be ranked among the top five in the school, and she will definitely be admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School. Don't you think it's a pity that she has to come down now?" Aunt Jiu explained the reason.
At this moment, the door of the ward opened and a nurse walked in, "Seventeen beds, you are now in arrears. The doctor asked me to notify you and renew your payment quickly. Otherwise, the doctor cannot give you a medicine order and we cannot give it to you."
Treatment continues.”
Aunt Jiu was a little anxious and spoke in a high-pitched voice, "I'm in arrears. How much do I owe? It's been less than a week since I came here, and I've paid twenty thousand yuan. Why do I run out of money so quickly? I can spend several dollars a day."
Thousands of things."
The nurse was probably used to seeing the patient's family members behave like this, so she didn't show any anger at all. She was still very patient and said, "I owe more than 200 yuan. It's not our nurses' responsibility to calculate the expenses and prescribe medicines. We are just doing the work. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Ask the doctor."
After a while, a middle-aged doctor walked in and said, "You are Niu Hanlin, right? I am your attending doctor Du Hui. I heard from Xiao Song that you have some ideas about the charges for this treatment. I came to take a look. Our hospital's
The charges are open and fair, and every examination and medication is clearly priced. You have spent a lot of money recently, mainly because the examination fee is a little higher, and it will gradually become less in the future. A thousand yuan a day is about enough."
Uncle Jiu nodded, made a simple calculation, and said to Du Hui: "Doctor Du, let's do this. I will give up the treatment now. I will be discharged and go home. You bring the form and I will sign it."
Du Hui didn't expect that Uncle Jiu would suddenly give up treatment, "Seventeen beds, don't get excited. It's true that the money is more expensive now, but after all, there is still a chance of recovery. If you give up treatment, you will have no chance at all. Of course, the decision
The power is in your hands, but as a doctor I still want to advise you to cherish life, you still have a big family."
Aunt Jiu grabbed Uncle Jiu's arm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't worry about the money. The eldest girl also borrowed money from her colleagues and will call soon. The aunt and uncle are trying to find ways to help borrow money.
Didn't I tell you that as long as you can recover, I will sell my blood to treat you!"
The second sister also rushed over, "Dad, let's treat, let's treat! I won't go to school! In a few days, I will go to work with the eldest sister, and we two sisters will earn money to treat you. Anyway, I am a girl, and I will be cured."
When you grow up, you have to get married. Just let your little brother go to school well. Dad, I want you, it doesn’t matter if I don’t go to school, as long as you can do well! My mother can sell blood, and I can sell blood too!"
"Stop talking, it's all my fault!" Uncle Jiu tried hard to stop the couple from crying, "Dr. Du, I don't understand. It's so hard for me to make money. How come it's so easy to spend money? Why don't you give it to me?
Let me tell you what happened."
Uncle Jiu sat up and put a pillow on his back, "I had my examination done at a specialized hospital in the city and the results came out. Why do I have to do it again when I get to the county hospital? Could it be that the hospital in the city is not as high as yours?"
What’s the matter, you don’t recognize the results produced by the city?”
Du Hui blushed a little, "Well, the condition is changing, and the patient's physical characteristics are also constantly changing. Our hospital needs to know dozens of accurate data to make the most accurate judgment on the condition."
Uncle Jiu interrupted Du Hui's speech, "Dr. Du, I don't understand the professional language of your hospital, so I said I was dizzy, so you gave me an order for a CT scan. I have such a physical condition.
It's normal to feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Why do I have to do a CT scan to know that my head is fine? Do I need to spend more than 200 yuan?"
Du Hui's face was quite calm, "We doctors need the help of instruments to get the most accurate physical information of patients."
"Aren't you a Chinese medicine doctor? I know that those old Chinese medicine doctors don't need any equipment, not even a stethoscope. They just look, ask, and test the pulse to place an order for treatment. What's wrong with you, a Chinese medicine doctor? I see.
It is a department of traditional Chinese medicine, not Western medicine. Up to now, I take one dose of Chinese medicine a day and have to take so many infusions. This is Chinese medicine and Western medicine after all."
"The current treatment methods are a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine also needs to rely on modern methods." Du Hui said.
"Okay, Doctor Du, I don't understand what you're talking about. Since you are my attending doctor, I'm going to ask you a question. Can you promise to take good care of me? Tell the truth!" Uncle Jiu said.
The sound also started to get louder.
"I can't guarantee this for you. I won't give you any guarantees. The cure rate for any disease is not 100%. Now that we have found the best way to deal with your situation, now it is time to supplement your nutrition so that you can
The body has enough energy to resist physical consumption." Du Hui was really patient and didn't look angry at all.
"Dr. Du, don't say anything. You told me what use I am here. Look, I can't even pay for my children's tuition. My wife and children have to sell their blood to save my life."
Yes, your hospital still has so many reasons to spend my money with open eyes. These are all my hard-earned money earned by smashing a bead of sweat on the ground!"
Uncle Jiu suddenly lifted off the quilt covering him, and was about to get off the bed tremblingly. Aunt Jiu hurried over and held him down. Doctor Du also advised Uncle Jiu to calm down. Uncle Jiu looked at Du Hui, "Why should I be calm? Du
Doctor, I really have no money, don’t stop me, if you stop me again, I will hit the wall!"
