Hearing the doctor's cry, Wang Haochen immediately stood up and replied: "I am."
The doctor then came over, looked at Wang Haochen and said, "Who are you?"
"Wang Tingting is my mother, how is my mother?"
The doctor turned to me and said, "Are you her husband?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not, I'm their neighbor and sent them here. This child is Wang Tingting's son."
"Oh, little kid, where is your father?"
"I don't have a father."
The doctor suddenly looked confused. I felt something was wrong, otherwise the doctor wouldn't ask so many questions.
I quickly asked the doctor: "Doctor, how is she doing now?"
The doctor shook his head and said with a serious look on his face: "The situation is not very good. She has gastric bleeding and gastric perforation and needs hospitalization."
"Ah! Uncle, my mother won't die, right?" Wang Haochen asked immediately.
The doctor smiled coquettishly and replied: "It's not that serious. I just need to go through hospitalization procedures. Are you the only one in your family? Where are your grandparents?"
"None." Wang Haochen curled his lips and shook his head.
The doctor sighed softly and said, "Then you wait for me here, I will write out a hospitalization bill for him, and you can just take it and pay."
"Okay, thank you uncle."
After the doctor typed out the hospitalization report, I took Wang Haochen to the charge window to go through the hospitalization procedures. Because he had no money, I had to help him pay 5,000 yuan in advance.
Then he and the nurse sent his mother to the ward. It was already twelve o'clock in the night.
Wang Haochen was sitting beside the hospital bed, looking at his mother motionless, looking like a little adult.
I walked up to him, reached out and gently touched his hair, and whispered: "Don't worry, your mother is fine."
"Well, uncle, thank you."
"It's okay, but you have to take care of your mother in the hospital. Can you do that?"
He nodded and said: "Well, I can do it. Uncle, please go back. I will tell you when my mother wakes up."
"Okay, don't worry, listen to the doctor and rest early."
After being warned, I left the hospital.
After walking out of the hospital building, I lit a cigarette and remembered Wang Haochen's sensible look in the hospital just now, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.
For such a young child, he is only two years older than Xiaoman, and his teeth haven't even been replaced yet.
But he still has to take care of adults. I don't know how he became a mother. If he didn't think about having a child in the first place, why did he give birth to him?
I turned to look at the inpatient building and sighed.
Until An Lan called me and asked me how I was doing?
I told her to come back right away, then took a taxi and went back to Jiangzhouwan Villa Area.
By the time I returned to my residence, it was already half past twelve in the evening.
The children have gone to bed, and An Lan is still waiting for me in the living room.
After seeing me come back, she asked me: "Why did it take so long?"
While changing my shoes, I replied: "It's really sad that you don't know the situation."
"What's wrong?"
So I told everything that had just happened.
After hearing this, An Lan also frowned and accused: "How did this mother become a mother? Isn't she too unqualified?"
"I understand that she goes out to drink to make money, but I can't understand that she drinks like this and has her children to take care of her."
"Is anyone okay?"
"It should be nothing serious. I have a perforated stomach. I estimate that I will need to be treated in the hospital for a few days."
"You said he has no one at home. How can he take care of a seven-year-old child?"
I shrugged and said, "I don't know then. I'll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
After a pause, I added: "If it weren't for Wang Haochen being such a sensible child, I wouldn't bother to care about her."
"Forget it, go to bed, it's already so late."
"An Lan, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, right?"
"Yes, what are your plans?"
"Let's go to the market together tomorrow, buy some New Year's goods, and have a good New Year."
An Lan looked at me and smiled. Originally, I thought I would not spend the New Year at home, but things are going very smoothly, and it is rare to spend the New Year with my family.
Although the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker now, the Spring Festival is also the most solemn festival in our country.
I remember that my favorite thing when I was a child was the Chinese New Year, because I could eat a lot of delicious food, play with cannons, set off fireworks, and get lucky money.
As I get older, I don’t like celebrating the New Year less and less, and I don’t know why I just feel like it doesn’t feel like the New Year anymore.
In addition, after my mother passed away, I never went back to my hometown because there was no one there anymore.
I now have my own family and my own children. Even if I feel that I am not young, I still have to give my children a wonderful childhood.
The next morning, I went to the hospital first and took some dumplings made by Aunt Wang to the hospital.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw Wang Haochen sitting next to the hospital bed, sitting upright.
His mother had woken up, but she was very haggard, her face was still bloodless, and she looked sick.
Seeing me coming, Wang Haochen stood up quickly and greeted me: "Uncle Chen."
I nodded, walked over and said to him: "You haven't eaten, have you? Come, eat some dumplings."
"Thank you Uncle Chen."
"Eat quickly," I touched his head and asked him, "Is your mother feeling better?"
"Well, the doctor said I need to be hospitalized."
"Then just stay, don't worry."
As I said that, I looked at Wang Tingting on the hospital bed. She looked at me feebly and looked lifeless.
I didn't want to communicate with her, so I turned to look at Wang Haochen, watching him eating dumplings.
I asked him: "Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's a pity that my mother can't eat it."
"Then you eat, eat more."
At this time, Wang Tingting, who was on the hospital bed, suddenly called me very weakly: "Um, big brother..."
I looked at her and said coldly: "Is something wrong?"
"Come here for a moment."
I didn't give her a good look and came to stand beside her bed.
"Thank you last night. You helped me pay the hospitalization fee. I will pay it back to you after I am discharged from the hospital."
"If you are weak, don't talk. I said that you, as a mother, are really...forget it, I shouldn't have said these words. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. What will your child do if you do this?"
He was silent for a while and said: "Brother, can I ask you one more thing?"
"explain."
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let Haochen go to your house to celebrate the New Year. Is it okay if you don't let him stay with me in the hospital?"
"You still have some conscience, but if you don't let him stay with you in the hospital, then who will take care of you?"
"Just call a caregiver for me."
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me ask your son's opinion. If he is willing, that's fine. If he is not willing, I can't help it."
With that said, I walked up to Wang Haochen and asked him: "Haochen, the New Year is tomorrow. Your mother wants you to come to our house to celebrate the New Year. Are you willing?"
He glanced at his mother, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and replied: "Uncle, I want to stay with my mother here."
I immediately looked at Wang Tingting, spread out my hands to her and said, "You heard me! Your son wants to stay with you here."
Wang Tingting then said to Wang Haochen: "What's so good about this hospital? You go to this uncle's house to celebrate the New Year. Mom will be fine here alone."
"No, I'm right here."
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?"
"what ever."
Wang Tingting suddenly had nothing to say, smiled weakly, and then said to me: "Brother, forget it, let him be here."
"This is also your son's good intention, but as a mother, you really don't want to let down your son's good intentions."
She let out a long sigh, as if she had many unspeakable words, but in the end she said nothing.
