Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

At the gate of Nianwei Hospital.

Ge Dongxu pushed his stall forward and pulled Xia Haiyang and the surrounding vendors forward.

"Ocean," his eyes sparkled with novelty, with countless interests and excitement he had never seen before, and even his tone was very excited, "It's really interesting, oh, I almost fell... Look at that little girl, oh, that unicycle is almost as big as her..."

Xia Haiyang squeezed out a "hmm" from his nose and watched their performance, but did not show much interest. He just responded hastily and went back to the back of the stall to sort out the socks that he had not had time to sell since he came back yesterday.

Not hearing any extra response, Ge Dongxu turned around and saw that his friend looked uninterested. He felt a little strange, but did not say much. He just assumed that he was not in a good mood today.

Seeing Xia Haiyang return to the stall, he pushed forward through the crowd to get a closer look.

As if they realized that the show was not effective, the brother and sister had already changed the show.

The little boy stopped performing the funny ball-catching trick. The wooden sword in his hand broke into two pieces and kept shaking as he held it up.

The little girl no longer rode the unicycle, but instead wore an empty penicillin bottle as a prop around her waist.

They began to act out the old bit of "The God of Medicine Appearing in Miracles". Their dialogues sounded like the candied haws sold by Wang Mazi at the entrance of the alley. But perhaps because they felt sympathy for each other, several family members carrying aluminum lunch boxes stopped and watched.

Soon, an old lady in a blue cloth shirt who was passing by threw a one-cent coin into the tin box. The jingling sound startled the little girl so much that she forgot what to say. She opened her mouth and kept biting her lips, which were obviously due to low blood sugar as she had not eaten breakfast yet.

The little boy's fake beard was stuck on crookedly, revealing a scab on his chin - it was from when he fell at the garbage station yesterday while rummaging through empty medicine bottles.

When the song ended, they counted the change in the box, one cent, two cents, five cents... and then nothing. In the distance, they heard the nurse's urgent voice shouting "Change the dressing on bed 17", and the wind was filled with the smell of disinfectant and lilac flowers.

Ge Dongxu watched for a long time, and seeing the lost look on the brother and sister's faces at the end, his heart suddenly tightened. He turned his head and found that most of the people were vendors selling goods outside the yard.

But it was not them who invested the money, but a few of the countless patients and their families.

Probably, the people coming and going here are not in the mood to watch a makeshift performance.

The few people who put in coins also heard the scene of the Medicine King appearing, asking for good luck for themselves or their families.

Ge Dongxu caught a glimpse of the brother and sister walking to a rickshaw on the side of the road and putting all their performance equipment into it. No one knew what they were talking about.

He returned to the stall, sat down on the curb, took out a pack of Red Plums for 25 cents from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Haiyang, don't you like watching plays?"

"I love watching it!" Xia Haiyang nodded seriously.

Ge Dongxu was a little surprised, "I love to watch you, but you didn't watch it just now?"

Xia Haiyang looked up at the siblings in the distance, "Their performance is not as good as their parents'!"

"Do you know them?" Ge Dongxu was stunned.

"At least half of the people here have seen them!" Xia Haiyang pointed, "These familiar faces used to sell things over there on the overpass..."

"Have you sold it too?" Ge Dongxu suddenly realized when he saw the other party nod.

"What about their parents?" he asked again.

Xia Haiyang pointed behind him, "You were bargaining with someone just now and didn't notice. Their mother rode over on her bike and rushed to the hospital. That big brother... must have had an accident!"

Ge Dongxu was shocked. He finally understood why Xia Haiyang had no intention of enjoying the show. It turned out that these two kids...

He was a relative of the patient and instantly felt empathy for the two siblings.

They - are probably also trying to collect medical expenses?

But if you sell things yourself, as long as the things are good, you won’t have trouble selling them!

Selling crafts...

Judging from the performance of the show just now, it is indeed a bit poor.

He didn't see how much money was in the iron box, but he thought that even with all the coins put in by passers-by, there might not be even a dime.

After working hard for most of the day, I earned very little!

Ge Dongxu was smoking cigarettes that cost 25 cents a pack and suddenly felt very luxurious.

He looked at the rising smoke and suddenly realized something he had never paid attention to before.

He loves watching circuses and sideshows.

When he was very young, his father took him to the overpass to play.

The people who carry jars on their heads, the monkey trainers, the crosstalk performers, everything is new and interesting, and it opened the door to a new world for him.

At that time he just thought it was extremely interesting and kept clamoring for his father to take him to the overpass every weekend.

But later on, my father became busy with work and no longer had the leisure time to do this.

After that, there was no chance for us to go together.

Thinking back to the last time I went to the overpass, it seems like it was just yesterday.

But yesterday was already ten years ago.

Ge Dongxu is still adapting to what happened on Tianqiao and in the world in the past ten years.

But today, he realized that beneath the surging crowds, blooming flowers and bustling scene on the overpass, are the hardships that ordinary people have to endure to make a living.

He remembered that he used to go to the overpass with his father and loved watching people perform the stone-breaking-with-chest show. Every time he saw the sledgehammer weighing more than a thousand pounds falling from the sky and breaking into pieces on the man's chest, he would always dance and cheer along with the people around him.

But now thinking back, the pain in the eyes of the wife who was swinging the sledgehammer was almost solidified, and the child who was holding a cloth to prevent stones from falling and hitting his father was full of worry.

Those details that had never been noticed before came to his mind. The bullet that was fired many years ago hit Ge Dongxu right in the middle of his forehead many years later.

"Haiyang, please count the money I made from these days' sales and give it all to me!"

Ge Dongxu put out his cigarette, patted his butt and stood up, his tone unusually firm.

"What are you doing?" Xia Haiyang looked at him and sighed, "Brother Dongxu, Auntie's medical expenses haven't been collected yet..."

"Ask about the situation. I understand the principle of helping in emergencies but not helping the poor!" Ge Dongxu stretched out his hand. Xia Haiyang had no choice but to take money out of his other pocket.

Ge Dongxu took the money without counting it. Just as he was about to walk towards the brother and sister who were making a fire and cooking on the side of the road, he was suddenly called.

He looked back and immediately went over with a smile.

"Sister Song Yi, are you in the hospital?"

"Hmm!" Song Yi looked at the direction he was going and the money in his hand, and had already guessed what was going on. She called him to the straw shed where Xia Haiyang was standing and said with a smile, "What's wrong, Dongxu? Are you having a hard time?"

Knowing that his careful thoughts were seen through, Ge Dongxu blushed and hid the money behind his pants, and said shyly: "Sister Song Yi, I will help you if I can. If it is a matter of life and death, you can't let a family break up. It's not easy for people who make a living on the overpass..."

Even though his own situation is in a mess, he cannot bear to see the suffering in the world.

Song Yi pursed her lips in relief and rubbed his and Xia Haiyang's heads.

"Don't worry, your Brother Nan's hospital is different from other hospitals! In this hospital, he has the final say on whether to charge medical fees or not! Your Brother Nan asked me to tell you that you should keep the money yourself. If anyone bullies those two children, you can go and help them!"

Ge Dongxu and Xia Haiyang were shocked and turned to look in the direction of the office on the fifth floor of the hospital, feeling warm in their hearts.
