Dr. Lin, you hurt me.

Su Boding went back upstairs. Fortunately, the orthopedic department had not started its ward rounds yet. He reported to Zhang Yan about Lin Feng's idea of ​​driving his own car.

Zhang Yan also realized from Lin Feng's apology to him this morning that Lin Feng was trying to distance himself from him.

Although doctors and patients should not have private relationships, and Lin Feng has always handled it this way before, due to the previous car accident, the two of them still have more private involvement than the average doctor-patient relationship.

Lin Feng also felt pity for Zhang Yan because he saw that although Zhang Yan looked bright and handsome, he actually had no family members to visit him while he was in the hospital for surgery, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to Zhang Yan.

The food cooked by Aunt Liu is really delicious, and Assistant Su is also very considerate in taking care of the orthopedics department in all aspects.

Until yesterday, Lin Feng realized that he paid too much attention to Zhang Yan, which led to his confusion and made a low-level mistake. Lin Feng knew that he should take a step back and put himself in the right position.

Zhang Yan was inexplicably angry at Lin Feng's businesslike attitude, "Tell him it's not fixed."

"Okay." Subodh could see that the two seemed to have had an argument and were sulking with each other.

It seems that there is no way this car can be repaired.

[Doctor Lin, I just asked the 4S store. Because your car was severely damaged, some parts have to wait for the manufacturer to ship them. Your car has not been repaired yet.]

【Got it, thank you. 】

The voice of the nurse announcing the ward rounds came from the corridor, so Su Boding left. The poor worker still had to go back to work.

Director Shao led a group of people into Zhang Yan's ward. Zhang Yan leaned back on the bed and saw Lin Feng at a glance, still with that cold face.

"Mr. Zhang, after a series of examinations, there is no other problem with your body. The plaster was removed yesterday and adaptive training was performed. You can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate. The stitches can be removed in five days. After the stitches are removed, you will go to the rehabilitation department for a sports assessment and rehabilitation training."

Can he be discharged from the hospital now? This development was somewhat beyond Zhang Yan's expectations. He wanted to see what actions the old guys in the group would take after yesterday's beating. How could he be discharged from the hospital so soon?

"I think recuperating in the hospital is more reliable than recuperating at home. I will lead the removal of stitches in the orthopedics department. As for the subsequent rehabilitation treatment, I will also actively cooperate."

Director Shao didn't say anything after receiving this reply. He just nodded and left with a group of people.

Lin Feng walked at the end, trying to read something from Zhang Yan's face, but Zhang Yan just continued to reply to the messages on his phone indifferently.

After the pediatric ward rounds were completed, the camera turned to the nurses' station, where a nurse took a stack of daily hospitalization lists and distributed them to each ward.

"Bed 36, this is your list. Xuanxuan's mother, your family owes three thousand yuan in fees. If you don't pay, the system will stop Xuanxuan's medication, and we will have no way to do anything then." The young nurse could only remind him that this kind of situation happens every day, and it's not just his family.

"I understand. I'll find a way." What else could Xuanxuan's mother do? She had borrowed all she could from relatives and friends around her, and had even sold the house.

Xuanxuan's mother walked out of the ward and started making a phone call.

"Boss, can you give me some advance on my salary?"

"Yes, I know. Salaries are paid monthly. I'm in a hurry to pay for my child's medical expenses. Can you pay part of it first?"

"I'll come earlier tomorrow."

After listening to Zhang Yan's introduction, Xuanxuan's mother went to Chengde Building to find a higher-paying job as a foreman in a restaurant, working in two shifts. The early shift started at nine in the morning and ended at five in the afternoon; the late shift started at three in the afternoon and ended at eleven at night, sometimes even later.

With her work experience and education, she could have found a better job, but she cannot accept overtime or business trips. This is her best option at the moment.

So Xuanxuan's mother found a part-time job at a breakfast shop near the hospital. She started work at four in the morning, got off work at eight, and then took the subway or bus to work at the restaurant.

In the mornings when she was on the night shift, she would stay with Xuanxuan in the ward and do some handicrafts, such as stringing beads and threading ropes on paper boxes. She could earn several hundred yuan a month.

I also take some private jobs online, such as translation or simple advertising design, and can earn 50-100 yuan.

Lack of sleep and long working hours make Xuanxuan's mother look older than her peers.

The salary for the restaurant job is not paid until the 15th of every month, so I can only ask the owner of the breakfast shop for an advance on my salary.

After receiving the 2,000 yuan transfer from the breakfast shop owner, Xuanxuan's mother immediately went to the self-service machine at the entrance of the department to pay the fee. The director who was filming saw Xuanxuan's mother paying all the 2,000 yuan for the hospitalization fee and couldn't help asking: "Xuanxuan's mother, you have paid all the money for the hospitalization fee, so what are you going to do about your meals?"

"Meals are free. The breakfast shop and the restaurant both provide working meals. The owner of the breakfast shop is very nice and provides breakfast for the children every day. The restaurant has expiring food, and some food that is not sold out on the same day will be disposed of and thrown away. Our employees can take some home to eat. We don't have to worry about food for the whole week."

Xuanxuan’s mother said this with a smile, but only she knew the bitterness in that smile, and she couldn’t cry.

On the way back to the ward, I received a call from my parents in my hometown, "Nizi, my family sold the corn in the field a few days ago and got 500 yuan. I'll ask the village secretary to transfer it to you via mobile phone later. You can pay Xuanxuan's medical expenses, and you should take care of yourself."

"Okay, I get it. Xuanxuan and I are both fine. Don't work too hard, and take more rest."

Xuanxuan's mother did not return to the ward. Instead, she walked to the emergency passage, sat on the stairs and started crying.

Her parents were illiterate and could only work on construction sites when they were young. They were reluctant to spend money on food and clothing to save money for her to go to college. After she graduated from college, she found a decent job in an advertising company, but she didn't expect that everything would be broken by this disease.

The parents wanted to work in the city to raise money for their grandson's medical expenses, but they were illiterate and had a chronic illness from working on a construction site when they were young. No one wanted them to work as cleaners, so they had to go back to their hometown to farm. Not only did they farm, they also did odd jobs when someone in the village built a house, just for a few dozen dollars a day.

Xuanxuan's mother only cried for two minutes, wiped her tears and went back to the ward. Xuanxuan was still waiting for her to read her picture book. It was a rare opportunity for her to have a rest in the morning and spend some time with her child.

When I returned to the ward, I found that Zhang Lingbei was already reading a picture book with Xuanxuan. The book was "My Mom Will Protect Me". The little hippo always felt that his mother was not as good as the mothers of other small animals. Until he went to swim in the river for fun and was attacked by a crocodile, the hippo's mother appeared and drove away the crocodile. Only then did the little hippo realize that his mother was very brave and would protect him.
