Jiang Tiecheng was reborn.
Just because he drew the lot to take over his father's job, he got an immense benefit.
His entire life, he had to help his mother raise his younger siblin...
Chen Zhipeng didn't know how much time had passed before he vaguely woke up.
Various different sounds came to my ears.
"This person is really lucky."
"That's acute intestinal obstruction. If it had been any later, this person would have died."
It was thanks to that young man who braved the heavy snow to bring him to the hospital.
Anyone else would be dead by now.
"Yes, that Comrade Xiao Jiang is too honest. He wore this fleece jacket in such heavy snow and walked more than 30 miles in a hurry."
"I heard that the path he took was very easy to get lost on, and one wrong step and you could get lost yourself."
"Yes, I was terrified when I saw Xiao Jiang on duty that day. He was covered in snow from head to toe, like a snowman."
"After drinking two large pots of ginger and brown sugar water, I felt completely cold."
"This person is really lucky."
Chen Zhipeng slowly opened his eyes.
Thinking back, I was going to pretend to be sick on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but unexpectedly, the moment Jiang Tiecheng went to the village to find the production team leader, my stomach really started to hurt.
It felt like being cut by a knife, or like being sliced into a thousand pieces; the pain was so intense that he couldn't help but roll around on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He didn't know what happened after that, but he never expected that Jiang Tiecheng would actually take him to the hospital.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips. What was he doing?
To lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot; to try to steal a chicken but lose the rice instead.
I was going to fake being sick, but things turned out quite differently.
This time it was a real intestinal obstruction; how could he not know how dangerous acute intestinal obstruction was?
People really can die.
The nurse was both surprised and delighted to see him open his eyes.
"Quickly notify Xiao Jiang that the patient has woken up."
Jiang Tiecheng was waiting on a chair in the outer corridor, lying down on it, sleeping fully clothed.
The doctors at the People's Hospital are so kind. When the emergency room doctor saw that he had no clothes to wear and was shivering from the cold, he lent him one of his own cotton-padded coats.
Otherwise, Jiang Tiecheng would have suspected that he would have frozen to death.
It's been a full day and night since the surgery, and the nurses and doctors say they're still trying to save me.
Jiang Tiecheng could only stay outside.
At this moment, apart from Comrade Cheng standing in front of him, there was no family member by his side.
Jiang Tiecheng was exhausted, hungry, and sleepy, so he put on his coat, squinted his eyes, and lay down on the wooden chair.
The moment the nurse told him that Comrade Cheng had woken up, he jumped up and ran to his bedside.
Seeing Comrade Cheng open his eyes and look at him, he finally smiled.
"You're finally awake! Do you know what? You scared me to death."
If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't know how to explain it to your family.
Jiang Tiecheng was genuinely terrified, but he wasn't afraid of the other party's unreasonable demands.
People these days don't like to extort money from others.
But if a living person dies right in front of him, even if it's two lifetimes combined, he can't just stand by and do nothing.
More importantly, while carrying this patient, he finally saw the unfortunate side of things.
However, what was displayed on the unlucky panel made Jiang Tiecheng somewhat unable to understand this "Comrade Cheng" in front of him.
The good news is that this "Cheng" comrade can bring me five points, which can make up for the four points I spent on the way.
Chen Zhipeng gave a weak smile.
"Thank you, Xiao Jiang."
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have really been finished this time."
Chen Zhipeng never expected that something fake could actually become real.
Indeed, people shouldn't do immoral things, because doing things out of conscience can easily backfire.
"Alright, stop talking and get some rest."
By the way, where do you live? I'll go and inform your family so they can come and take care of you.
Whether it's Comrade Chen or Comrade Cheng, I don't want to get involved in this mess anymore. I've earned the points and done the good deed.
Who wants to stay in the hospital during the Lunar New Year?
Chen Zhipeng's eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.
Of course, he couldn't reveal his address; if he did, Jiang Tiecheng would find him and expose him.
At this juncture, I can only pretend to faint.
Jiang Tiecheng looked at the patient in front of him and had no choice but to come out and ask the nurses and doctors.
We know the patient's condition is currently stable and they are out of danger.
However, you need to rest for a week after the surgery before you can be discharged from the hospital.
The patient has now collapsed from exhaustion, and Jiang Tiecheng has no choice but to continue guarding the place, not knowing where the patient's family is.
I don't have a penny on me, and I can't just starve to death. Besides, Comrade Chen in front of me needs to recuperate, so we can't both go hungry.
Jiang Tiecheng suddenly realized that being a good person meant being taken advantage of; not only did he lose people and effort, but he also had to spend money.
Perhaps because he did so many good deeds in his past life, everything he does in this life is perfectly natural, and there is no resistance in his mind.
Jiang Tiecheng slapped his forehead helplessly. When would he ever be able to shake off the deep impression of being a good-for-nothing from his previous life?
If he hardens his heart now, since he has already saved Comrade Chen, he can just leave him and go.
It's not that it's impossible, but for Jiang Tiecheng, it's an option he's never even considered.
He shook his head helplessly, turned around, put on his coat, and ran straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xu Fengtian handed Jiang Tiecheng a net bag containing a washbasin, towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, lunchbox, and other daily necessities.
"These are the things needed for hospitalization."
Oh, right. Here's 50 yuan and 50 jin of grain coupons. You can use them to eat in the canteen for now.
I'll free up my hands so my wife can bring you food from the hospital.
"You, during the Spring Festival, traveled dozens of miles alone in the wind and rain to take someone to the hospital, and it was a complete stranger."
What do you want me to say to you?
To put it nicely, you're a good person, a hero; to put it bluntly, you're just a fool.
Xu Fengtian really liked Jiang Tiecheng.
This young man was a few years younger than me, but he was such a kind person, so kind that it felt like he wasn't even a real person.
It's not that I don't like this kind of compassionate heart, but Jiang Tiecheng's actions could bring him hidden dangers, something he may never have considered.
"Okay, I'll wait until he wakes up, then I'll notify his family and leave!"
I'll lend you the money, and I'll bring it to you when we settle the account later.
Jiang Tiecheng knew that everyone thought he was a fool for doing this.
But what can be done? He has already taken on this task himself; what's the point of giving up halfway?
At the same time, he was a little puzzled. This comrade's surname was Chen. Why would this person hide his identity?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to me.
No way? Judging from this person's clothes and the broken bicycle from before, he doesn't seem like an enemy agent.
Jiang Tiecheng felt a little uneasy; he didn't want to get involved in any trouble.
