The doctor nodded in agreement and turned to leave the ward. In winter, few people seek medical attention, and delaying treatment for a few days is acceptable in order to maintain the hospital's normal operating expenses.
After the doctor left, the three of them were left in the ward.
Wang Qin said to Qiao Haixing, who was still lying dead on another hospital bed, "Last time I went to beg my older brother, now it's your turn to go and borrow some more money from him."
"Let's pay back our son's hospital deposit first, and at least let the wound on his hand scab over before we go home and let it heal slowly."
"Mom, my arm still hurts from time to time, so I can't come home so early. Do you even want me to get better?" Qiao Dongdong shouted angrily.
Wang Qin looked troubled: "You know our family's situation. We have nothing left but the house. You're going to have to continue living in the hospital like this."
No amount of money is enough. We might as well go home first, I'll cook you something nice to eat, and maybe if we rest and recuperate, you'll get better.
"I just want to stay in the hospital. I need to agree to be discharged. You should borrow more money from your uncle."
"His family runs a snack bar and has so much money, they can't possibly spend that much. What's wrong with lending us some money?" Qiao Dongdong said matter-of-factly, but he also felt a bit indignant. Why had his family become like this?
His father was in debt, and he had lost an arm, rendering him useless. He didn't want to continue his studies.
Rather than be laughed at by my classmates, I'd rather stay home and wait to die!
Qiao Haixing sat up: "It's your uncle's business how much money he makes; you can't think like that."
It's a favor that he's willing to lend us money; if he doesn't, there's nothing we can say.
I'll go to his house right now to borrow money, just enough for seven days of hospitalization. We'll be discharged once your wound is better.
This isn't a place we want to stay long-term, and we can't afford this money.
If you have money, then you can continue living there.
After saying that, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and left in a hurry. Only after he went outside did he see that it was snowing heavily.
I felt a mix of emotions. When did he become like this? This time last year, he was having hot pot with his wife and kids at home, and we ate a full 5 kilograms of mutton.
At that time, he marveled at how wonderful his life was.
Snack bar.
With the weather getting colder, fewer people are eating breakfast. Instead, hot pot and spicy hot pot are becoming more popular.
It snowed today, but the restaurant actually got a lot of customers, and they all ordered hot pot.
Frozen tofu, Chinese cabbage, winter melon, and a plate of mutton were ordered, and the group of people gathered around to eat.
The restaurant offers free refills of soup, and the snow-white broth is clearly made from simmered pork bones.
Finally, we managed to get everyone fed.
Tao Chunfang found a chair and sat down. Her belly was getting bigger, and she wouldn't be as efficient as before.
Ma Yulan came over and said, "If you're tired, go home and rest. I can do all the work in the shop."
Tao Chunfang waved her hand: "How can I let you do all the work by yourself? My belly isn't that big right now. There's no point in lying at home. I might as well do some work at the shop."
Seeing so many people enjoying our food makes me happy. We're sure to have a prosperous New Year this year, and we can eat meat at home every day!
Ma Yulan: "You're absolutely right. It's the right thing to do to buy more meat to eat at home during the Chinese New Year."
Because we eat meat regularly now, my child has grown so much! I almost couldn't pick him up yesterday; time really flies!
