On her tenth birthday, there was only a bowl of longevity noodles served by her grandma, with an egg lying on the side, and nothing else.
"Buy a ticket!" A shout from the conductor interrupted Ling Xiaowei's thoughts.
People on the bus began to buy tickets one after another.
When they arrived at Zhang Cuifen's side, Ling Xiaowei shouted to the conductor: "Auntie, I'll buy it here and go to the county hospital. There are four people in total. Can my brother get half the ticket?"
The conductor glanced at Mingming, nodded and said: "Okay, half ticket for children, four yuan per person, total fourteen yuan!"
Ling Xiaowei took out fifteen yuan from her wallet and handed it over. The conductor gave Ling Xiaowei one yuan and then tore four tickets to Ling Xiaowei.
Ling Xiaowei collected the ticket, tied the bag, held it in her arms, and then looked at the scenery outside the window.
The county town is indeed different. The streets are big and clean, and there are beautiful orchid-shaped street lights on both sides of the road. There are shops on both sides of the street, selling everything. There are armies of people riding bicycles on the road, coming and going, and it is very lively.
"Sister, look, there's a big chicken over there!" Ming Ming excitedly pointed at the white statue on the big turntable in front of him and shouted excitedly.
"That's an egret! It's a bird!" Ling Xiaowei rubbed Ming Ming's hair and said with a smile.
Seeing this egret means that she has reached the county seat. Going further, she will reach the urban area of the county seat. Looking at everything in front of her, it is no different from what she remembered. Decades later, there has not been much change, but there are more
Some taller houses.
Zhang Cuifen looked at everything outside the window. The county town was different. The houses were different from those in the countryside. They were lively and prosperous, and they looked tall and classy. Then look at the people on the street. They were all riding bicycles, and the clothes they wore
They are well-dressed, and those women have pale faces, and they look like city dwellers!
The car stopped and stopped on the road, and many people got out of the car.
When the bus arrived at the county hospital, the conductor shouted: "Who wants to get off from the hospital!"
Zhang Cuifen hurriedly shouted: "We, it's us!"
Ling Xiaowei took the lead to lead Mingming out of the car, and then helped Zhang Cuifen pick up her father at the door of the car!
When people in the car saw Zhang Cuifen carrying Ling Guoqiang, many of them sighed and pointed at Zhang Cuifen and Ling Guoqiang. Along the way, Ling Guoqiang's mood became worse and worse. He was afraid of going out and hearing those sounds.
After getting off the car, my father said with a straight face and unhappily: "Cuifen, put me down! Let's go back!"
"Dad! Guoqiang!" Ling Xiaowei and Zhang Cuifen shouted at the same time, both of them looking surprised.
Ling Guoqiang roared in a low voice, somewhat vented: "A person like me is a waste. Even if I have prosthetic limbs, I don't know if I can stand up. Spending this money is a waste!"
"Dad! You are not useless, you are the best dad in the world. I asked the doctor and the doctor said you can stand up!" Ling Xiaowei said loudly.
We have already reached the entrance of the hospital, why did dad shrink back!
It’s because of what those people said!
"Guoqiang, we have arrived at the hospital, you can't give up!" Zhang Cuifen gasped lightly, and she carried Ling Guoqiang on her back to the hospital gate.
After entering the gate, there was a large courtyard. Zhang Cuifen said to Ling Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, look quickly, where are we going?"
Ling Xiaowei pointed to the building with the red sign of the outpatient clinic and said: "That building is the outpatient clinic building, let's go!"
Zhang Cuifen didn't give Ling Guoqiang a chance to regret. She walked quickly and soon followed Ling Xiaowei to the building. Ling Xiaowei took the money to register and registered for Orthopedics Pan Lu.
It was hung up quickly.
The Orthopedics Department is on the first floor, and the four of them fought their way to the door of the clinic.
When Ling Guoqiang saw the word "orthopedics", his gloomy face looked nervous and a little expectant.
"Let's go back! I won't watch!" He still flinched, afraid of hearing words that would disappoint him. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Next!" the nurse at the door shouted.
Ling Xiaowei hurriedly handed over the ticket. The nurse took one look at it and said, "You guys go in!"
Don’t give dad a chance to regret it!
Ling Guoqiang was put on the stool by Zhang Cuifen. He had no way out.
"Doctor, we were introduced to you by Dr. Pei from Yanghua Town. My father needs a prosthetic limb!" Ling Xiaowei explained the reason for her visit.
Dr. Pan Lu looked to be in his fifties, with gray hair and a slightly serious look. He didn't talk much and went straight to the doctor. He looked at the condition of Dad's amputation and asked some questions.
He said to Ling Guoqiang directly: "Your physical condition is very good. You have not injured your spine and it has no impact on your body's activities. You should have installed the prosthesis long ago!"
"Although Mr. Pei has greeted me in advance, I still need to see the patient's condition before fitting the prosthetic limb. There are several price ranges for this prosthetic limb. What price range do you want?" After Dr. Pan finished speaking, he took out the prosthetic limb.
There were several pieces of paper with black and white pictures and text. There were three models in total, and he introduced them one by one.
The three models were also divided into middle and lower grades. Zhang Cuifen could not understand a single word, but only saw a few numbers. When she saw those numbers, she was frightened! It is so expensive!
After Ling Guoqiang heard what the doctor said, his mood suddenly cleared away the clouds and saw the sun, and his face became full of expectations. When the doctor introduced it, he had been listening carefully.
When he heard the price, he still took a deep breath. The best one costs 2,780! It's really too expensive!
"We don't have that much money as a doctor, can it be cheaper?" Ling Xiaowei pointed to the best one.
She wants to give her father the best.
Dr. Pan frowned, then nodded and said, "Just wait for me, I'll go ask."
"Hey, why is the doctor out?" Ling Guoqiang asked in confusion.
He also told the doctor that he could just pretend to be the one with the $1,500!
"Dad, I told the doctor and asked him to give us a cheaper estimate. If we want to pretend, we will pretend to be the best." Ling Xiaowei said.
Ling Guoqiang immediately put on a straight face and whispered dissatisfiedly: "What are you pretending to be so expensive? As long as it works, you kid, how can you be so opinionated!"
Ling Xiaowei pouted, she just wanted the best for her father!
"Dad, you are not happy with your filial daughter. We brought 2,300 yuan this time. I still have 200 yuan of unplanned money here, which must be enough!" Ling Xiaowei said in a low voice.
Ling Guoqiang was moved, but still unwilling because it was too expensive!
After a while, Dr. Pan came. Before Dr. Pan could speak, Ling Guoqiang took the lead and said: "Doctor, I want to pretend to be this, the cheapest one!"
The doctor looked at the list and said: "This is cheap, but to tell you the truth, there is a problem with this model. After wearing it, it may cause wear and tear on your severed limb, and the breathability is not very good. Over time,
The person wearing it is more strenuous and suffers.”
