Xu Yan's words echoed throughout the hospital corridor. The captain's face was already unpleasant, and upon hearing these words, his expression became unreadable.
The two sides stood at attention for a few seconds until the door to the ward suddenly opened, and Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan's attention shifted to another place.
The captain ran away as fast as he could.
Xu Yan had no time to chase after him and walked quickly toward the doctor with Xie Zhuo.
"Doctor, how is the baby?" Xu Yan asked anxiously.
"His injuries are very severe. Both legs are broken, and his arms are broken as well. The initial diagnosis indicates varying degrees of organ damage," the doctor said. "He has a concussion. The blood on his face has also been examined. There are ruptured capillaries in his nasal cavity. The bleeding has been stopped, but further treatment will be a complicated matter. You..."
He glanced at Xie Zhuo's patched clothes, then at Xu Yan, who had hastily thrown on one of Xie Zhuo's equally patched jackets.
Xu Yan didn't immediately understand what he meant, but Xie Zhuo did.
He immediately stated, "We are not short of money. As long as the child can be cured, money is not a problem."
In this day and age, very few people would say such a thing. Who doesn't need money?
Even if there are people who are not short of money, these two shouldn't be the ones in front of them. Although their overall demeanor is indeed different from ordinary people, it doesn't mean that good-looking people are rich, right?
Judging by the number of patches, this outfit must have been worn for at least five years!
However, since they have decided to save the child, he will not try to persuade them not to.
Xie Zhu paid the bill, and then he and Xu Yan sat on the chairs in the hospital corridor to wait. The doctor had just said that Lin Dong's condition was very bad, and if he couldn't get through the critical period after the surgery, then...
He didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo both understood what he meant.
The surgery lasted for more than ten hours. During that time, Xie Zhuo rode his bicycle home and brought his two children, plus Kaixin, to the city.
After having lunch at the state-run restaurant, we temporarily left them at the bookstore.
Xie Weifu was all alone, but he took an instant liking to the two children. He kept saying he was going to buy ice cream for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and then he took them to the department store to buy snacks.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao had never seen so many books before, and they stared in amazement at the rows of shelves in the bookstore.
Seeing that the three of them got along well, Xie Zhuo took the two packed meals and headed towards the hospital.
On the afternoon of October 21st.
Just as Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan were riding their bicycles to the hospital, Liu Mancang suddenly rushed into their yard like a madman, gesturing wildly for a long time, but without uttering a single word.
Xie Zhuo frowned; they were in a hurry to leave.
At noon, I received a call from the hospital informing me that Lin Dong's condition had not improved for almost half a month, and the attending physician suggested that they transfer to a hospital in the city for treatment.
Qingping County is a small county town with limited medical resources. Lin Dong's injuries were too severe, and they were afraid that if they delayed any longer, the treatment would become even more difficult.
After nearly two weeks of treatment, the doctor finally believed their claim that they had plenty of money.
After all, the medical expenses for just half a month are not something that any family can easily afford.
Recently, Lin Dong has been able to open his eyes occasionally, but not for long.
Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo have been at the hospital with her most of the time. They only went home to pack their things today because they were being transferred to a city hospital.
Seeing that Liu Mancang looked agitated but couldn't say a word, Xie Zhuo walked over and gently patted him on the back as if to soothe him. "What's wrong?"
“High…high…” Liu Mancang still couldn’t say it.
Xu Yan, who was standing nearby, was also anxious. She turned around to pour him a glass of warm water, but before she could hand it over, she saw another person rush into her yard, waving a newspaper in his hand.
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, the college entrance examination has been reinstated!"
A loud shout jolted all the scholars in the Qingshan Brigade awake.
Those who first heard the news were incredulous, thinking it was a joke or a deliberate rumor. But when they saw the contents of the newspaper, they were stunned.
"It really recovered?"
Educated youth settlement.
Zhou Jingjing snatched the newspaper from Ye Wei's hand, her eyes fixed on the contents, as if she was hallucinating because she was so eager to leave this awful place.
The others were also excited and happy. Yu Wenwen burst into tears, and one of the male educated youth also cried.
Meanwhile, at the Sun family home, Sun Jiarou and Han Xiaoyu also heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Actually, they were incredibly excited from the very beginning of this month, thinking that they were finally going to take the college entrance exam. They had been waiting for this day for two whole years!
When Chen Guizhen heard the news, she was not very excited; in fact, she was a little scared.
Because Sun Jiarou once let slip that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in October, she didn't believe it. She thought Sun Jiarou had been corrupted by Han Xiaoyu and was just making up an excuse not to go to work.
Because every time Sun Jiarou said she was going to study at home, she would actually cover her face with a book and fall asleep. When Sun Jiarou was woken up, she would argue that she was thinking.
Good heavens, what scholar can be so engrossed in thinking about a problem that he drools?
I never imagined... that the college entrance examination would actually be reinstated.
Chen Guizhen immediately went to Sun Guoan with a nervous expression and told him about it, but Sun Guoan did not believe her. He had never believed in ghosts and gods and only said that Chen Guizhen had misheard.
Chen Guizhen was initially quite certain, but after Sun Guoan said a few things, she began to doubt whether she had misheard.
