To Xia Xia

Before he reached the school, Bai Xia's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.He took it out and took a look, it was an unfamiliar number, the other party had already hung up the phone after hesitating, and the phone vibrated again within two steps.

"Hello." Bai Xia put the phone to her ear, and there was an unfamiliar voice, non-standard Mandarin mixed with a bit of local taste.

"Xiao Xia, hey, you answered the phone, your grandma is in the hospital!"

"what did you say?!"

Bai Xia froze for a moment, then remembered whose voice it was, who else could it be if it wasn't Aunt Lan next door.He has always been worried about his grandma's health, so he specifically asked his neighbors to help him before he came to university.Lijiaping has a small population, and the neighbors have been friends for generations. Aunt Lan has no son in her family, so she has seen him kiss since she was a child, so she readily agreed.

"I'm lying in the county hospital now, please come back soon after taking leave." Aunt Lan's voice was old and sad, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid it will die."

Bai Xia's head exploded, he had a phone call with his grandma last week, and the old man told him not to worry, just study hard at school, and he would fall if he fell down.

He asked Aunt Lan what was going on with Grandma Bai, and Aunt Lan said that she had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and she collapsed at the door of the house after returning from the market.Fortunately, it is at the door of the house. If it is in the house, I don't know when it will be discovered.

Cerebral hemorrhage, Bai Xia is no stranger to this word.In the past, he often heard his grandma mention it when he was chatting with others, saying that some old man had a cerebral hemorrhage and went to the hospital, and he would die when he arrived in the hospital.He also said that a person had a cerebral hemorrhage in his fifties, underwent surgery, and is now able to work in the fields.

But he understood that at that age, grandma could no longer withstand the toss of surgery.

Seeing that he didn't leave suddenly, Shen Xingye wanted to ask him what's wrong, but when he turned around and saw his blushing eyes, he couldn't say anything.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xia burst into tears. The two of them stood in the middle of the road, people passing by all looked over, and some people honked the horn of the electric car in dissatisfaction, but they didn't understand, they didn't understand that kind of world Feeling like the last family member is about to leave me.

"Are you okay?" Although it was nonsense, Shen Xingye still asked, in a comforting tone.This was the first time he encountered such a situation, how could he comfort anyone in his life.

Bai Xia sorted out his thoughts, pulled him out of the way, strode like a school walk, and then turned into a run, his words were fragmented and scattered in the wind, Shen Xingye only heard him say, "I'm going to ask for leave immediately and go home."

Back in the dormitory, he packed up the necessary documents as quickly as possible, and rushed out the door without even taking his clothes.

Shu Chengwen looked at Shen Xingye in confusion, but the latter replied uncertainly, "Maybe something happened at home."

Bai Xia only remembered to send a text message to the head teacher in the taxi. The taxi driver knew him very well, and kept talking to himself, why did the price of oil rise again, why did the stock market fall again, Bai Xia was in a good mood to hear it No, seeing that he didn't even respond, the driver shut up resentfully.

He was not familiar with the station at all, and after following the signs for a long time, he found the ticket office and bought the ticket for the earliest train home.As soon as I got in the car, the mobile phone issued Didi's low battery warning, and it automatically shut down after 30 seconds.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Bai Xia arrived at the hospital. He found the ward Aunt Lan had mentioned, and saw an old face lying on the bed through the door, wearing a heavy ventilator.He opened the door and walked in, sitting beside the hospital bed, his despair could not be seen in the darkened ward.

Grandma Bai lives in an ordinary ward, the kind where six people live together. There are adults and children in the ward, and it is busier than the vegetable market during the day.When Aunt Lan came the next day, she saw Bai Xia put her heart in her stomach.

"Aunt Lan, I'm sorry to trouble you." Bai Xia hurriedly went to pick up the things she was carrying. These words were not polite words, but Bai Xia sincerely thanked her. In this era when relatives can turn against each other, neighbors can do this For the sake of it, it is already the best of benevolence and righteousness.

"What did you say, your grandma usually helps me a lot." Aunt Lan is also in her fifties, she has a bad waist, and she always walks like a cat.

While the two were talking, a child ran towards Bai Xia noisily and bumped into Bai Xia, sticking out his tongue at him mischievously.When the nurse came to make the ward rounds, she saw this scene and reprimanded the child not to run around in the ward. The child cried loudly, and the loud voice could be heard in the whole building.

After crying for several minutes, the child's mother came back from buying breakfast outside, carried him out, and the ward became a little quieter.

When the doctor came for the checkup in the morning, he told Bai Xia about his condition again. The situation was very pessimistic. Grandma Bai had already fallen into a coma. The mortality rate caused by cerebral hemorrhage was as high as [-] to [-]%. The family members should do well. Mental preparation.If not dead, it may remain comatose.

Bai Xia listened and nodded, but actually he didn't know what to do.Grandma Bai is the most serious patient in this ward. The other patients are at least conscious. There is an endless stream of family members who come to see the patient in the ward, walking around, opening doors, and talking constantly. None, he knew that grandma's illness was suitable for a quiet environment, but when he looked at it, it was bustling.

In the afternoon, Bai Xia went to the bank to withdraw money to pay the medical expenses of the previous two days, and gave some to Aunt Lan. She refused to charge more, and only took the part she had paid in advance.It was only when Bai Xia was putting the passbook in her bag that she saw her dead and turned off mobile phone. After looking for it for a long time, she realized that she was leaving in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to get the charger, so she had to borrow it from the bed next door.

He thought that there would be a lot of news and calls if the phone was not turned on for a day, but there was nothing except his class guide telling him to come back to make up the leave.Bai Xia looked up some information about cerebral hemorrhage, the more she read it, the more flustered she became, so she simply threw her phone on the bedside to charge it.He hadn't closed his eyes since yesterday, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, when the electrocardiograph beside the bed started beeping.

Bai Xia woke up all of a sudden, and hurriedly rang the calling bell at the bedside. After ten seconds, the lights in the ward were turned on. Several doctors and nurses rushed in to make a rough check, and dragged Grandma Bai away. Into the emergency room.

Bai Xia followed anxiously, but was finally blocked in front of the emergency room.

After several hours of rescue, Grandma Bai finally survived this test, but was transferred from the general ward to the intensive care unit.Two days later, when her condition stabilized, Bai Xia planned to go to the bank again. The money she withdrew last time was all used up. When she went to pay the bill today, she saw the bill and found out that she had already owed several thousand.In the past, it cost one thousand a day in the general ward, and several times more in the intensive care unit. Adding medical expenses and ventilators, it cost five or six thousand a day.

As soon as he got up and was about to go out, he saw a person standing at the door.

It turned out to be Li Qinsheng.

Bai Xia looked at her and didn't know how to speak for a while, but Li Qinsheng spoke first, asking him about Grandma Bai's situation.

Bai Xia shook his head, and repeated what the doctor said to him. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, Li Qinsheng felt distressed.

"Where are you going?" Li Qinsheng put the fruits he bought on the bedside. Grandma Bai couldn't eat them even if she was awake. She brought them for Bai Xia specially.

Li Qinsheng was very beautiful and tall when he was young, and he still has undiminished demeanor now.She was wearing mid-heel leather boots today, and her clothes were carefully tailored, but she could vaguely see the fat on her belly.Because she is taller and prettier than other women, Bai Xia always wanted her to hug her when she was a child, but now Bai Xia is taller than her in a blink of an eye.

Seeing her, Bai Xia was a little nervous, and twisted his fingers behind his back, "Go get some money."

Li Qinsheng didn't speak. She knew the difficulties of the Bai family. If there hadn't been what happened back then, the Bai family wouldn't be where it is now.Although it was not rich at that time, the money for medical treatment was still available. After the accident of the Bai family, the mainstay of the economy disappeared, and the fields were sold, leaving only a small piece of land to grow food for the family every year.

Thinking of this, Li Qinsheng opened the satchel. She came prepared today, "Auntie still has some, you take it first."

Bai Xia saw her take out a kraft paper envelope, which was thickly stretched, Bai Xia had no idea about this, but knew that there were quite a few inside.

Seeing that he didn't move, Li Qinsheng took the initiative to stuff the envelope into his hand, "We won't be able to get it out for a while, so you take this first." Bai Xia was about to refuse when she looked around the ward. There are quite a lot of equipment, and he said: "Auntie worked in the hospital when she was young, this ward is not cheap, even for Aunt Bai, you have to take it first."

Now that we've talked about this, how can Bai Xia refuse, so he has no choice but to agree first.What Li Qinsheng said was right, grandma didn't wake up all day, so the medical expenses were a problem.When he was going to college, he still felt that his grandma gave him a lot of money in the passbook, and he spent most of it in the past few days. Man, it is really impossible to be sick. Grandma Bai spent most of it when she was lying in bed for a few days life savings.

Bai Xia put away the passbook, held the envelope in both hands, and after thinking deeply, said to Li Qinsheng: "I will return it to you!"

Li Qinsheng smiled at him, neither saying yes nor no.Afterwards, Bai Xia went downstairs to pay the fee, and when she came back, she saw Li Qinsheng was cleaning her grandma's body.

At that moment, Bai Xia was really moved, and hurried to stop her, "Let me do this kind of thing."

"It's nothing, I used to do it when I was a nurse in the hospital." She soaked the towel in hot water, "It's you, Xiao Xia, who are still so young..."

Thinking of her eyes were red and slightly moist, she opened her mouth, but hesitated to say anything.

Her back was facing Bai Xia, so Bai Xia didn't notice her slightly abnormal behavior. She pointed to the table and heard her say, "By the way, your phone rang just now."

Bai Xia went to the table to get the phone, the screen was still on, apparently it had just been hung up, and he unlocked it.

The name on it had never seemed so glaring to him.

It's Li Jiashu's call.
