Chapter 229 Mao Mao and her second brother are good friends
To avoid being seen as a biased younger sister, the next day, Mao Mao took out her little wallet again and went to the department store to buy gifts for her brothers and father.
Everyone has one; no one is missing one.
Even the big white cat in the house has a new cat toy.
As a result, her little purse was completely empty. All her pocket money and the lucky money she received during the Lunar New Year were gone. Mao Mao turned her little purse over and turned it inside out, only managing to pour out a few copper coins.
Fortunately, she didn't mind at all. With only a few coins left, she could buy some malt candy on the street and share it with her family. It tasted sweet in her mouth.
The fountain pen, which had been wrapped up and tied with a bow, was temporarily put away. The invitation had been received in advance, but there was still some time before Uncle Chen's birthday party.
Before attending Uncle Shen's birthday party, all Mao Mao had to do every day was attend classes with the ladies and listen to them read the serialized stories of Mao Mao in the newspaper.
oh.
There's one more thing.
Mao Mao became her second brother's little shadow.
This was the first time Lou Heming had received such warm treatment from his younger sister. Every day, when he left for work, Mao Mao would see him off at the door, waving her little hand as he left. When he came home from work, Mao Mao would be the first to run out and greet him.
Every day, Mao Mao asks, "Brother, did Auntie go to see a doctor?"
Lou Heming had already heard about He's mother from the first wife.
Because of Mao Mao's concern, he also paid special attention to the patients who came to the hospital to see if any of them were the person Mao Mao was thinking about. He even specifically instructed the nurses that if He's mother came to Renji Hospital, she should register for his appointment.
However, for several days in a row, Mao Mao did not receive any good news.
This made Mao Mao extremely anxious.
He wished he could run back to the wonton stall and personally take Mother He to the hospital.
That day, as soon as Lou Heming entered his home, he heard a series of footsteps approaching. Before he could even see anyone, he had already skillfully put down his briefcase and opened his arms. Sure enough, a little bundle of joy quickly rushed into his arms.
"elder brother!"
Lou Heming chuckled.
He picked up his briefcase, stood up with Mao Mao in his arms, and walked towards the small living room.
"Mao Mao, I have good news today."
Mao Mao's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him expectantly: "Brother!"
“That’s right, He’s mother came to the hospital for a checkup today,” Lou Heming said. “Mao Mao, you can rest assured.”
Mao Mao was still very worried. She put her little hand on her brother's shoulder and said with a worried look, "Brother, will Auntie die?"
"No, my brother is here. Thanks to Mao Mao, she arrived in time and can still save us."
Will she get better?
"Brother will heal her," Lou Heming said gently. "He will make her healthy and live a long life, so she can stay with that classmate He for a very long time."
Mao Mao was completely relieved.
She leaned on her brother's shoulder, her fluffy little head rubbing against him happily. Her soft hair brushed against the skin of his neck, tickling Lou Heming and making him smile gently.
He patted his sister's head and said, "Now you can finally rest assured. I've arranged for her to be hospitalized, and in a few days, she'll be scheduled for surgery. By the time you see her again, she'll be cured."
Mao Mao happily rubbed against his palm: "Hello, brother."
"Am I Mao Mao's favorite older brother?"
"MaoMao likes her brother!"
Lou Heming smiled gently behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "How about Mao Mao sleeps with her second brother tonight?"
Mao Mao answered him loudly, "Okay!"
"Second brother will read you a story."
"We want to hear Mao Mao's story."
"Okay, let's tell the story of Mao Mao."
Lou Heming paused, then said with a smile, "If Mao Mao could sleep with her second brother every day from now on, that would be great. That way, her second brother could tell you more about that classmate He's mother. She'll be staying in the hospital for quite a while..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mao Mao eagerly agreed, "Mao Mao wants to listen, Mao Mao will sleep with her brother."
"Okay, so it's settled then? You'll sleep with me until He's mother is discharged from the hospital."
"good!"
...
Renji Hospital.
In the multi-person ward, He's mother lay in the corner.
Suppressed groans of pain drifted from the other beds, reaching the ears of everyone else. Despite being a patient herself, suffering from illness, He's mother felt no grief or panic.
She looked at the snow-white ceiling, smelled the disinfectant in the air, and felt like she was dreaming.
Beside her hospital bed, He Mingshu was still carefully flipping through her medical reports.
"Little Book, take a break."
"Hmm, let me take another look."
There were too many medical terms in it, which he didn't quite understand, but he read every single word very carefully.
He read the doctor's signature, especially at the end, many times.
Dr. Lou.
His mother's attending physician.
Even after his mother was admitted to the hospital, he still felt like he was dreaming. Just a short while ago, he was worried about his mother's medical expenses, but suddenly, as if good fortune had finally come to their family, his mother received free treatment.
He confirmed with the doctor many times, and no matter how many times he asked, Dr. Lou, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, patiently answered him that it was free.
No surgery fees, no medical fees, and even expensive X-ray examinations are free; you might have to pay a little for hospitalization.
But that small hospitalization cost was insignificant compared to the original exorbitant treatment fees.
He worked diligently as a teaching assistant for Teacher Shen and had already saved some money. If that wasn't enough, he could continue working part-time.
Even if it's a lie, it doesn't matter, as long as it can cure his mother, he's willing to be deceived.
"Little Shu, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow."
"good."
He Mingshu finally closed the examination report and lay down fully clothed in the cramped spot on the nearby recliner.
He stared at the white ceiling, his mind replaying the doctor's beautiful signature.
Dr. Lou?
building?
Could he be a relative of Lou Yansui?
They look somewhat alike.
He Mingshu closed his eyes, his heart pounding with emotion.
His good fortune seemed to have arrived.
