"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Xu Rui, a young man, was overjoyed and knew how lucky he was. He kowtowed respectfully, carefully but quickly packed away the dishes, put them in the steamer, and carried his sister on his back through the door.
Yu Hua closed the door, locked it, and said to Xu Rui: "From now on, the two of you, brother and sister, will be responsible for the hygiene and chores in the yard. Put your sister in the innermost room of the reverse seat, and put the quilt in the cabinet. There will be one room for each person."
Xu Rui nodded repeatedly, and under Yu Hua's instructions, he carried his sister Xu Erya into the room at the back of the bed, took off his dirty coat, put it on the kang, and took out a quilt from the cabinet to cover it.
.
"Your sister's illness cannot be delayed. This is a big ocean."
After Xu Rui finished processing, Yu Hua took out a piece of ocean from his pocket, handed it to the panting Xu Rui, and explained carefully: "Go to the right when you go out, and then go to the right after exiting the alley. Walk three hundred meters and there is a drug store called
There is an old Chinese doctor in Xuanji Hall who said that Mr. Yu Hua invited him to come to the house for consultation. Remember, you must be very polite when you speak."
"Master, your great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by Xu Rui." Hearing Yu Hua's words, Xu Rui suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times in a row.
Yu Hua was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving him warmth and hope. He not only cared about his sister, but also gave him money for medical treatment!
Even his parents were not so kind to him.
gratitude!
From the deepest gratitude in my heart!
Xu Rui felt that he was extremely lucky to have met Yu Hua.
"No more kneeling. Get up. There is gold under a man's knees. No one except his parents can kneel down at will." Seeing Xu Rui kneel down and kowtow again, Yu Hua said seriously.
"Yes, Master." After hearing Yu Hua's teachings, Xu Rui felt even more grateful and hurriedly started.
Yu Hua nodded and ordered: "Go quickly, don't delay, remember, you must be polite and respectful when you speak."
"Xu Rui remembers it."
Xu Rui quickly stood up and took over a heavy silver dollar with exquisite patterns on it. This was money that Xu Rui had only heard about in rumors. He carefully put it away and walked out of the gate as quickly as possible and ran to Xuanji Hall according to the instructions.
After Xu Rui left, Yu Hua glanced at Xu Erya, whose face was full of dirt, and shook his head. Now that the matter was over, he didn't bother to rest anymore. He went to the bedroom to get ten yuan, then went to the kitchen and poured a big pot.
Cold water, light the stove, and prepare to boil hot water for the two of them to clean up their personal hygiene.
Personal hygiene determines the probability of getting sick.
Not long after, Xu Rui and old Chinese medicine doctor Tan Huairen arrived.
As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Tan shouted: "Yu Hua, where is he?"
"Mr. Tan, please excuse me, I'm sitting in the back seat." In the kitchen, Yu Hua, who heard the shouting, hurriedly came out and stepped forward to greet him.
"What's the trouble? It's not troublesome. Treatment is important."
Tan Huairen shook his head and sat down directly.
Yu Hua and Xu Rui followed them to the room. After entering, Mr. Tan diagnosed Xu Erya's pulse and examined it carefully.
Inside the house, there was silence, and the two of them waited quietly.
After a long while, Mr. Tan finished the inspection, packed up his tools, raised his head, looked at Yu Hua with a serious face and said: "The girl's condition is quite serious. The main reason is the lack of nutrition in the body and the approaching geranium. She was infected with the wind and cold and could not resist it. She lost her health."
To get rid of the origin, we need to use medicine that strengthens the origin and nourishes the vitality. It costs a lot, but can we treat it?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room almost dropped to freezing point.
Xu Rui didn't dare to speak. He glanced at his unconscious sister lying on the bed and lowered his head to choose his fate.
"May I ask Mr. Tan, how much does it cost?" Yu Hua was silent and said.
Mr. Tan truthfully told the cost of the two treatment options: "To treat the root cause, it costs about two hundred yuan, and to treat the symptoms, it costs five yuan."
As soon as the two numbers came out, the atmosphere in the room almost solidified. When Xu Rui heard this, he was stunned and almost suffocated. Two hundred oceans?
Two hundred oceans, two hundred shining silver oceans, this is an astronomical figure that Xu Rui's family of six cannot earn even if they work in the fields all their lives.
He never thought that it would cost two hundred oceans to heal one person.
At this moment, Xu Rui's hands and feet were treated with ice, and his whole body felt colder than ever before. After thinking about it, he was ready to bear the pain and tell Xu Hua that he could not be cured. Two hundred oceans, how could he afford such a cure?
At this time, a message came out: "Let's cure the root cause. I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Tan. Life is priceless. Since I chose to take him in, I have to take responsibility."
Yu Hua bowed with a straight face.
"You are a silly boy, but also a good boy."
When Mr. Tan heard this, he smiled and said, "Xu Rui, you are a good man, wrap your sister in clothes and carry her to Xuanji Hall."
"Master, Xu Rui and my sister are willing to work for you all their lives, protect you, and repay your kindness." As soon as these words came out, Xu Rui suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing and mouthing
He sobbed and couldn't make a sound. He never thought that Yu Hua would really give up 200 yuan to save his sister.
At this moment, the man Yu Hua taught just now had gold under his knees and was thrown behind his ears.
He wants to cry!
I wanted to cry loudly, but I was afraid of disturbing Yu Hua's ears.
Looking at Xu Rui who was kneeling on his knees, Yu Hua gave up and felt helpless. Who knows how many times this man kowtowed today.
"Get up first."
Yu Hua said to Xu Rui. After Xu Rui stood up, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and placed it on the table next to him: "Mr. Tan, this is ten yuan. I will send you the follow-up consultation fee tomorrow."
.”
"The medical fee is not urgent. I can trust you, kid." Mr. Tan shook his head and pushed his hand to indicate.
"Mr. Tan, this is what you should give. Xu Rui, put the money in your pocket and give it to Mr. Tan later." Yu Hua explained, and then said to Xu Rui.
"Yes, sir." The young man Xu Rui nodded, wiped his tears, stepped forward, and packed away ten yuan.
Seeing this, Tan Huairen laughed and shook his head, but did not refuse. After Xu Rui wrapped his sister's clothes and carried her on her back, he left the room.
"Master, I'm going." Xu Rui said to Yu Hua.
"Slow down on the road." Yu Hua warned.
Carrying his unconscious sister on his back, Xu Rui followed closely behind Mr. Tan, and the two quickly left Chongwen's house and headed to Xuanji Hall.
…
"I felt soft-hearted for a moment and lost two hundred oceans, but I still gained a lot. At least I saved one life, and I also... got a clear idea."
After leaving the back room, Yu Hua went to the main bedroom. He thought carefully in his mind that spending two hundred yuan meant that the expense gap was widening and he had to find a way to make money.
Thoughts are clear.
Although this reason seems ridiculous, Yu Hua is willing. As a modern person, he cannot ignore the loss of a life like this, let alone a little girl.
Even though the two of them are neither relatives nor friends.
Spend the money and you won't regret it.
Now that the matter has come to this, I don't want to think about it anymore. There is only one thing that Yu Hua cares about more now - money.
Spending 200 yuan is equivalent to using up nearly 50% of Yu Hua's savings. There is a serious shortage of funds, and making money must be put on the agenda.
The expenses of three people and the expenses of one person are not simply 1+2=3.
