Shimen City, the ground floor of the inpatient department of the First Municipal Hospital.
At noon, just in time for the meal, the families of hospitalised patients went downstairs to take their meals, and there was a circle of people at the entrance of the lift on the ground floor, all of whom were family members of the patients who were waiting to take the lift with their lunchboxes and various take-away lunches.
Wu Jun tried to squeeze the lift several times, but he couldn’t get on the lift, and his trouser leg was sprinkled with millet porridge.
Looking at the two lifts full of people, a layer of a pause to start climbing up, down when I think the throw will be a layer of a pause, to wait for the lift, it is estimated that the monkey years and months.
The point is, with the two lifts lift off, just a small circle of the crowd, less than a minute and grow up.
Wu Jun some despair thought, even if it is wait until the monkey years to wait down the lift, also do not see can squeeze up.
“Forget it, it’s better to climb the stairs.” Taking out toilet paper from his pocket and wiping the millet porridge on his trouser leg, Wu Jun squeezed out of the crowd and lifted his leg to the next walking staircase hallway.
A month ago, Wu Jun’s father, Wu Guangqiang, had an accident while cutting down a big dead tree in the mountain forest contracted by his family, half of his body was smashed under the big tree.
Help a group of workers panicked after the joint efforts to push away from the tree, driving three trampoline will be covered with blood Wu Guangqiang sent to the county hospital.
Cranial damage, broken rows of ribs, broken shoulder blades, the injury is not generally serious.
Emergency room door lights flashing for more than ten hours, Wu Guangqiang by the county hospital doctors from the ghost gate dragged back half of the body, and then was urgently sent to the medical conditions are better, dozens of kilometres away from the PS County Shimen City People’s Hospital.
A month of treatment down, the total cost of the expenses spent more than 200,000, Wu Guangqiang’s injuries stabilised, but still in a coma.
At the beginning of next month, there is a craniotomy, the operation cost 300,000, can wake up, depends on this operation.
Successful surgery, there is a 30 per cent chance of waking up, do not do the operation, this life can only be infused with nutritional fluids hanging life, be a vegetable.
Wu Jun and his mother Ma Dongmei emptied the family, and brazenly borrowed all the friends and relatives, which only then came up with more than 200,000, there are more than 80,000 shortfall.
The rest of the 80,000 yuan, to rush in the second craniotomy surgery before the cobbled together, leaving Wu Jun and his mother’s time, full of only less than a month’s time.
Panting to climb to the 14th floor, Wu Jun stopped to rest his feet, and then climbed a floor to the floor of his father’s hospital.
Just to continue to climb with a burst of energy, suddenly heard the sound of talking overhead, and, this voice, Wu Jun is very familiar.
It is the voice of old mum talking.
“Big sister, no, no, you can eat by yourself, my meal size is already small, I can eat enough.”
Hearing the voice of his old mum speaking, the tip of Wu Jun’s heart seemed to have been gripped hard.
“Big sister, I also heard about your family’s situation, spread this kind of disaster, spending money is quite a lot, but you can’t be so frugal ah, a meal just eat a steamed bun, ghost can eat enough ah! You’ll wear yourself out like this!”
“Big sister can’t help you with much, treating you to a simple meal is still a small amount of money, quickly don’t be polite with big sister, eat.”
“Big sister, really, really no need.”
“If you don’t eat, I’ll take it out of the rubbish bin. I’ve eaten downstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll eat, I’ll eat, thank you, thank you big sister.”
Wu Jun’s legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, holding onto the stair railing and tilting his head towards the upstairs, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
Mum was sitting snugly on the steps of the building, wiping her tears with her right hand holding half a piece of steamed bun, choking and stretching out her left hand to receive a disposable plastic lunch box from an auntie wearing cleaning clothes.
Wu Jun eyes red, with all the strength of the body turn around, leaning on the 14th floor of the hallway, tears can not stop flowing down.
Dad resuscitation time, as a man, can not mess up, to comfort the old mum, give her hope, can not cry.
When raising money, he is the backbone of the family, the face of the family, to borrow money, can not cry.
However, when it is known that the mother in order to save money, each meal only eat a steamed bun, cleaning aunts can not see past the invitation to eat, Wu Jun instant tears.
But if they were a little bit capable, their own family would not be reduced to such a state.
Deeply self-blame.
Wu Jun has never been like this moment, eager to make money, make big money, make endless money.
Let dad live in the best hospital, the most expensive ward, hire the best doctor for dad, receive the most advanced international treatment.
Let mum eat good food and drink good food, no longer worry about money.
Money is a good thing.
Although money is not everything, but it can achieve thousands of possibilities.
The $80,000 surgery cost is the first hurdle in front of us, and if the surgery is successful, the later rehabilitation treatment will still be a bottomless pit.
But, as a son, as long as Dad still has a glimmer of hope and a breath of life, he can’t give up even if he loses all his money.
Hearing the upstairs quiet down, mum and the cleaning aunty went, Wu Jun cleaned up the mood, will be the money of the matter first put into the back of the mind, back towards the downstairs.
Hospital downstairs kiosk goods than outside to be expensive, out of the hospital, bought a big bag of bread ham, and vacuum-packed kind of small chicken legs, Wu Jun this return to the hospital.
This time very lucky to get on the lift, in the position of the 15th floor, Wu Jun got off the lift and walked towards ward 1521.
As soon as he entered the ward, Wu Jun saw his old mum come out from the washroom in the ward with red eyes, the water stains on her face had not had time to dry, and the two of them met their eyes squarely.
“Xiao Jun, why did you come, no one is keeping an eye on the supermarket?”
Ma Dongmei wiped her hands on her clothes while saying, “I’m here alone to keep an eye on it, now your small supermarket is the biggest economic source of our family, you have to be more attentive, can’t be so dangling like before.”
Wu Jun put the big bag he was carrying into the cupboard at the door, turned around and said, “Mum, I’ve decided, I’m going to dish out the supermarket, 80,000 yuan for the operation should be almost enough.”
“Xiao Jun ……” Hearing Wu Jun’s words, Ma Dongmei’s eyes reddened, “Xiao Jun, without the supermarket, what do you do in the future? These years you have not done anything else, can not stand the crime, or …… mum and then go to your aunt and brother-in-law them to see.”
Wu Jun shook his head and said, “Mom, three aunts and brother-in-law’s family situation you are not unaware of, they have already tried their best, let’s not go to make things difficult for them.”
“Although the small supermarket can’t earn a lot of money, but it’s still a stable income, our family has borrowed so much money outside now, and then disclose the supermarket, how will you live in the future.”
“It’s me and your dad who dragged you …… down,” Ma Dongmei said, her eyes red, reaching out to wipe the corners of her eyes.
“Don’t say such things mum, you and dad raised me so big, I should also do something for our family, everything will be fine.” Wu Jun put his arm around his old mum’s shoulders and comforted her with a sentence, and she cried even more.
Ma Dongmei bitterly advised Wu Jun, to consider for their own future, she and Wu Guangqiang has been old, not useful, vaguely through the really can not give up the meaning of treatment.
But Wu Jun has decided to spend more money to cure, if you give up the treatment, his life will be difficult to eat and sleep.
At 9pm, before leaving, Wu Jun appeased his mother, explaining that she ate on time.
At noon, Wu Jun bought bread and ham downstairs, enough to support three days, he told his mum to come back in three days.
Accompanying the coma in the dad to talk for a while, told him not to give up, he will not give up the same.
Dad may be able to hear, two lines of tears flowed out of the corner of his eyes, Wu Jun helped to wipe off.
He said goodbye to his mum and left the hospital.
Took the bus back to Shimen City, XH District, Northwest Second Ring Road cross position of the Tianyuan District.
Wu Jun went to college in Shimen City and stayed in this city after graduation.
After graduating from college, with two years of work to save money to open this small supermarket, now has been operating steadily for three years, there are a number of fixed customers.
Small supermarket, take out the rent and Wu Jun a month of expenses, monthly profits between 4500-5000, very stable.
Before that month, people buy New Year’s goods, buy friends and relatives with gift boxes, Wu Jun’s income will be doubled, can also let him have a good year.
In Shimen City, where the average salary is about 3,000 yuan, it is less than the top and more than the bottom.
The key is, no need to be controlled, no need to look at the face of the boss, no need to hook up with colleagues.
This job is very easy and comfortable, but also raised Wu Jun a lazy bone.
Came to the supermarket door, already more than ten o’clock in the evening, usually this time supermarket has been closed, today back late, Wu Jun does not intend to business.
Feel out the key to open the door, Wu Jun into the supermarket, did not turn on the lights, by feel, seven turns through the shelves, into the supermarket the most inside a bedroom.
Small supermarket is located in the residential building on the ground floor, the original is an ordinary three-room hall pattern, living room and two rooms to put shelves, leaving a room to live, commercial and residential dual-use, there is also a small kitchen to cook, but also save a rental cost.
Into the house to turn on the light, took out his mobile phone to see, the power only one grid, showing that the power is too low.
Wu Jun picked up the charger socket from the bedside table and casually plugged it into the charging port of his mobile phone.
“Boom!” A muffled sound like a firecracker, Wu Jun felt his hand numb, watching the mobile phone clutched in the hand of a black smoke after a completely black screen, the room wafted out of an unpleasant smell of burnt circuit boards.
Seeing the mobile phone is unusable, in their own most need money, the most lack of money, a piece of money can not wait to break into two halves to spend at the juncture, the mobile phone blew up again!
“When people are unlucky, they drink water and stuff their teeth!” Wu Jun lamented, casually threw the fried mobile phone into the rubbish bin by the wall.
Sitting on the bed with a dishevelled face, Wu Jun began to consider the transfer of the small supermarket.
Supermarket rent is 60,000 a year, a one-time payment of two years, from the rent expiry of one year, not counting the transfer fee, it can be converted into 60,000 yuan.
The items sold in the supermarket, although there is no valuable big objects, but the bits and pieces add up to 20,000 yuan.
In the case of not transfer fee, it should not be difficult to get rid of, take over can do, can make money.
If not as a last resort, Wu Jun will not think of transferring the supermarket.
Dry small supermarket, the wind does not blow, the rain does not rain, the sun does not sun, and income is also very stable, the more you do the more familiar customers, is a career can be pension.
“Dad’s surgery is important, everything will be fine.” After a long time of contemplation, Wu Jun secretly read a sentence, ready to go outside the copy shop tomorrow to play a few transfer sheets.
Switching off the lights, the house was dark, Wu Jun was just about to get ready to sleep.
Suddenly, with a glance of his eyes, he saw a faint light emitting from the rubbish bin.
Didn’t the mobile phone blow up and smoke?
What was it glowing?
Wu Jun turned on the light, rolled out of bed, and came to the rubbish bin with a puzzled face.
Wu Jun was surprised to find that the mobile phone that had just gone black, the screen was actually lit up again, and, it was loading something.
