To be honest, Zhang Zhifei was very dissatisfied with the group greetings held in the courtyard. It was a bit awkward to gather all the adults and children in the courtyard together on a cold day to pay New Year greetings to someone who had nothing to do with him.
However, these days we are very particular about being a group and not being too independent.
As long as nothing happens at the group reunion, Zhang Zhifei is prepared to turn a blind eye and follow the crowd.
Hearing that the Intermediate Courtyard was already crowded, Zhang Zhifei and his younger brothers and sisters also went to the Intermediate Courtyard with melon seeds and peanuts in their pockets to see how the group visit was going.
Today's group greeting meeting was different from the usual hospital-wide meetings. There was only one table and one chair set up in the courtyard. It seemed that the deaf old lady was going to sit on it alone while others paid New Year's greetings to her below.
When Zhang Zhifei's brother and sister arrived, most of the people in the courtyard had already gathered. They were all wearing new clothes, old and young, and their usually sad faces had smiles again. They greeted each other and wished them a happy New Year.
Zhang Zhifei glanced around and saw that the only deaf lady and aunt in the courtyard, as well as Grandma Zhao and her grandson Xiao Shitou in the backyard, were not there.
"Si Zhu, help your grandma to the middle courtyard, and call Xiao Shitou and his grandma by the way." Yi Zhonghai ordered.
As the filial son and grandson of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, Shazhu obeyed their words. But later, Qin Huairu, the white lotus in the prosperous age, intervened, and Silly Zhu became Qin Huairu's loyal licking dog, forgetting his identity as a filial son and grandson.
Now Shazhu still obeyed Yi Zhonghai's words, and immediately went to the backyard. After a while. Silly Zhu and the eldest mother supported the deaf old lady, and Grandma Zhao dragged the small stone with snot on it. The child's face looked very ugly.
Zhang Zhifei had just signed in and received the medical certificate. He felt very bad when he saw the condition of the little stone. He hurriedly walked over and touched the child's forehead with his hand. It was very hot.
"Grandma Zhao, Xiao Shitou needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. The child has a severe fever." Zhang Zhifei said.
Grandma Zhao showed a sad smile and said: "My in-laws failed to live up to expectations and left the day before yesterday. The child's parents went to Shijiazhuang the day before yesterday. The family is poor but rich, and there is not much money left at home."
Zhang Zhifei said hurriedly: "It's okay, I'll pay it in advance and give it to me when Brother Zhao comes back."
Grandma Zhao said gratefully: "Zhifei, thank you. You have helped Auntie a lot."
"I'm talking about grandson, are you done with this and are you going to have a group meeting?" Shazhu had long been dissatisfied with Zhang Zhifei. Not to mention the last time he was beaten, he was also fined for cleaning toilets for three months, resulting in the loss of Xiaozao's rights. , to burn the boiler that had been burning for three months.
Zhang Zhifei held the little stone in his arms, glanced at Silly Zhu and said: "Get out."
Then he said to the people in the conference: "If Xiao Shitou has a fever, I will send him to the hospital. You can hold the group meeting on your own."
Grandma Zhao's family is usually kind to others. Although their status is not high, they are still very popular. When everyone in the compound sees that their child is sick, they all know what the priorities are.
Only Silly Zhu, the idiot, still has a presence in the tree. Don't you know that his actions made most people in the compound very dissatisfied and made everyone hate him even more.
The deaf old lady is seventy or eighty years old and has rich social experience. Although she is dissatisfied that her group visit has been disrupted, she also knows that if she insists on holding a group visit now, she may become the target of public criticism.
"From the Zhao family, the child is important. If you have any difficulties, you should tell them early. We are neighbors in the same hospital. Who can watch the child suffer? I have 2 yuan, so I will donate it to the child's medical treatment." The deaf old lady was kind. He said, as expected, everyone in the compound was very satisfied with the old lady's performance and felt that the old lady was a sensible person.
Yi Zhonghai is such a shrewd person, how could he not seize the opportunity, stand up immediately and say: "When a family is in trouble, it comes from all directions, not to mention that we are all neighbors who never look up to see each other.
I think this group meeting will be rescheduled to tomorrow. Let’s hold a fundraiser today, whether it’s a dollar or a dime, it all depends on your actual situation. What do you think? "
Zhang Zhifei still admires the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai's ability to find opportunities to find opportunities, but today they are donating money to Grandma Zhao, which is a good deed, so he can only accept it.
"The child cannot be delayed any longer. I will take Grandma Zhao and Xiao Shitou to the hospital by bicycle first." Zhang Zhifei did not dare to delay any longer. The child's fever must be relieved immediately.
"Okay, you go first. After the donations are received, we will send them to the hospital." Yi Zhonghai said.
Zhang Zhifei walked to the front yard holding the small stone, thinking that this old guy Yi Zhonghai was not simple at all, he was very good at finding opportunities to take advantage of them.
In the past, no one had discovered that Yi Zhonghai was bullying him, that he was bullying himself. In fact, many people could believe his reasons, and the reasons were also tenable. Transferring Qin Huairu's household registration was not a matter of not giving back, it was something that had not happened. There is no way to convict him.
This was also the reason why I didn't pursue the investigation in depth at first. Even though I was a family member of the military martyrs, Yi Zhonghai and the others did not have a bad impact. Assuming that I didn't forgive him, Yi Zhonghai's punishment could be heavier, but it still wouldn't reach the point of being imprisoned.
With a few days of donations, the old guy Yi Zhonghai can establish an image of a reliable and fair office, and maybe he can be reinstated as the boss.
Putting Yi Zhonghai's matter aside, Zhang Zhifei rolled out his bicycle from home, took Xiao Shitou and Grandma Zhao and drove to Jiaodaokou Health Center.
"What did you parents do? Your children are burned like this. It's very dangerous." A middle-aged female doctor couldn't help criticizing.
Zhang Zhifei felt very embarrassed. This doctor wouldn't think of himself as a little stone and his father! Fortunately, Grandma Zhao rescued him, freed him from the embarrassment, and gained the favor of the doctors and nurses.
"Doctor, it's all my fault. The child's parents went out of town, and I, an old woman, don't understand. It was Xiao Zhang who brought the child here because he said he wanted to see a doctor." Grandma Zhao said with shame.
The doctors and nurses looked at Zhang Zhifei and felt that this young man was capable. Not only did he help his neighbors send their children to medical treatment, but he also paid for the medical expenses in advance. He looked like a good person at first glance.
The doctor gave the child a fever-reducing injection and fluids. Zhang Zhifei also used his expertise to look at the little stone and knew that the child had ordinary tonsil inflammation. As long as the fever went down, there would be no danger.
Not long after the child was given the needle, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui also came to the hospital. Yi Zhonghai said to Grandma Zhao: "Sister-in-law, this is a donation from the neighbors in the hospital, totaling thirty-one and four cents. "
Yi Zhonghai said and handed the money to Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao's family was in difficulty.
The son works in a fertilizer factory and earns only 27 yuan a month. The wife is in poor health. Not only can she not earn any money, she also has to take medicine. The family's life is very difficult.
After receiving more than 30 yuan from neighbors in the courtyard, I felt very grateful to Yi Zhonghai and others.
Grandma Zhao said hurriedly: "Thank you to the first, second and third uncles, and thank you to the neighbors in the compound."
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome." Liu Haizhong seemed to be back to the time when he was in charge, very proud.
Yan Bugui looked at the donation with distress. There was his 2 yuan in it. To him, it was almost equivalent to drinking his blood.
As she spoke, Grandma Zhao took out 10 yuan and said, "Zhifei, this is the 10 yuan for medical expenses you just advanced."
Zhang Zhifei did not take it, but said with a smile: "All the neighbors in the courtyard have donated money, so I can't do anything special, so this 10 yuan will be regarded as my donation."
Zhang Zhifei asked Grandma Zhao to take the money back, and then said to him: "Xiao Shishi's tonsils are purulent, and he will have recurring fevers in the past two days. He has to stay in the hospital for treatment. He will not be discharged until it is confirmed that he no longer has a fever.
Grandma Zhao, you stay in the hospital and take care of the little stone. I will cook dinner for you two and deliver it by bike. "
Yan Bugui said: "Zhang Zhifei, the hospital doesn't provide meals?"
Zhang Zhifei said: "The hospital also has a holiday during the Spring Festival, so I can only bring my own food."
"Well, Zhifei, I'm sorry to trouble you." Grandma Zhao said sheepishly.
Zhang Zhifei waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then said to Yi Zhonghai and the others: "I can't carry you three on this bicycle. In case you say that I favor one over the other, I won't take anyone with me and leave first."
With that said, Zhang Zhifei said goodbye and left, heading towards the courtyard.
