Chapter 41

Chu Zhaozhao sat by the bed, still in a state of waving, but this emotion was quickly interrupted by the ringtone of the mobile phone. She flew out of her bag in a panic and turned out to be called by her mother.

At this point, Chu Zhaozhao's heart thumped, afraid something had happened.

"Hey? Mom, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Chu's mother's voice was a little anxious: "Zhaozhao, are you free now?"

"Mom, what happened?" Chu Zhaozhao asked anxiously, "Is there something obviously wrong?"

"No...it's your father." said Chu's mother, "your father flashed his waist."

Chu Zhaozhao felt a little sad, and he immediately packed up his things and prepared to go to the hospital.

Her father is old and does hard work all year round, and his lumbar spine has been not very good. "Flashing waist" is a more serious problem than ordinary people.

It was already late at night. The hospital Chu Zhaozhao was going to was in the suburbs. There was no car to take orders online. She was standing on the side of the road and was reluctant to go there when she heard that she was going so far away.

Just when Chu Zhaozhao was anxious, A Lu, who came out to eat barbecue, saw her and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Chu Zhaozhao still stared at the vehicles passing by on the road and said, "My dad is sick, I'm going to the hospital!"

"Oh, I'll take you there!" Ah Lu pulled Chu Zhaozhao to the community, "Don't recruit cars here for this night."

Chu Zhaozhao ran to the parking lot as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Ah Lu was already crazy in driving, but now in order to take Chu Zhaozhao to the hospital, she was like a wild horse that broke away from her reins.

On the way, he saw Chu Zhaozhao's expression was nervous, so he thought of ways to make her happy, but Chu Zhaozhao only pulled the corners of his mouth. Ah Lu had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't worry too much, it's common for parents to get sick when they are old. They have all gone to the hospital. You have to believe in your current medical level."

Chu Zhaozhao just nodded and held his cell phone tightly, fearing that his mother's phone would come again at this time.

Ah Lu stopped talking and soon arrived at the hospital.

Chu Zhaozhao quickly untied his seat belt and ran to the gate while saying thank you to Ah Lu.

Ah Lu locked the car and hurriedly followed her in with her bag.

Chu Zhaozhao did not take the elevator, ran to the third floor and saw Chu Mingming on a chair outside the door of a diagnosis room.

She lowered her head, looking very depressed.

"How is Dad? Is it serious?" Chu Zhaozhao walked up to Chu Mingming and asked.

Chu Mingming opened his mouth, paused, and then said, "You go in and take a look."

Chu Zhaozhao walked in and saw her father lying on the bed in the diagnosis room, while the doctor was not there.

Chu Zhaozhao asked: "Dad, how are you?"

Dad Chu looked up and showed an honest and honest smile: "Oh, there is no big problem, I just flashed."

"No big problem!" Chu's mother said with a cold face, "The doctor has asked for surgery!"

Dad Chu's face froze and hesitated: "Not that serious? I have been hitting like this since I was a child. I'll just take some medicine and do what surgery!"

Just then, the doctor came in. He saw Chu Zhaozhao and said, "Family, right?"

Chu Zhaozhao nodded and asked quickly: "Doctor, what is my dad's current situation?"

The doctor sat down and said slowly: "The patient's femoral neuralgia on the anterior side of the femoral and sciatica on the posterior side of the femoral have been on for a long time, and symptoms such as lower limb pain, numbness, soreness and weakness of lower limbs, and limited movement have occurred. Surgery is recommended, otherwise it will affect normal life."

The doctor said it simply and clearly, but Chu Zhaozhao was shocked when he heard it.

She looked back at Dad Chu's father. He couldn't have known what was going on with his body.

"Dad, listen to the doctor, have surgery."

Dad Chu was silent and stared at the wall. His messy hair and gullies looked a little strange under the pale lights of the hospital.

Chu Zhaozhao stared at him for a long time. When it started, the black hair on his father's end became so sparse.

After a while, Dad Chu finally spoke: "Where...where is the money to have surgery..."

As soon as he said this, Chu's mother was silent.

Chu Zhaozhao's fingers unconsciously clenched his palms and whispered: "Dad, I just paid my salary and I still have some savings in my hand, enough."

Dad Chu didn't say anything, but Mother Chu said hurriedly: "Zhaozhao, you...you keep the money for yourself, you're too big."

"I don't have much money to use," Chu Zhaozhao said, "Who will you use if you don't pay the salary?"

Chu's mother and Chu's father were silent and didn't say anything. Chu Zhaozhao said to the doctor: "Doctor, please write a order, I'll pay the fee."

The doctor nodded and immediately printed out the list.

Chu Zhaozhao walked slowly when she took the order and left the treatment room.

She looked at the numbers above and didn't know what to do.

Now she can pay the money in her hands for the early stage, but the subsequent expenses give her a headache. The most important thing is that her father works odd jobs and cannot be reimbursed without medical insurance.

Ah Lu didn't leave. He followed Chu Zhaozhao. Seeing her heavy steps, he pulled her aside and said, "Why don't I borrow some money for you first."

Chu Zhaozhao looked up at him.

Ah Lu touched her head and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. You didn't close the door, I heard it when I stood outside."

After saying that, he touched a card from his bag and said, "Take it, I am a bachelor, and my family will not be hungry if I eat one person. I will lend you some first, and you will pay it back slowly in the future. Anyway, we work in the same company, and I am still afraid that you will run away?"

Chu Zhaozhao began to sway. She was short of money, but she couldn't think of who to borrow money from.

All of her classmates have just graduated and they all have no money, but she doesn’t want to have money in the car with her colleagues.

A Lu said again: "No matter how we are a senior and sister from the same school, I should help with this."

Chu Zhaozhao finally took Ah Lu's card and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you really, I will pay you back when I get my salary."

"No hurry." Ah Lu said, "You can pay it back in installments."

He thought for a while and said, "I won't charge interest, don't buy me coffee again."

Chu Zhaozhao couldn't laugh and went to the payment office in silence.

After working hard for most of the day, everything was finally settled, and Chu Zhaozhao also planned to go back.

After she explained something to her mother in the ward, she looked around and didn't see Chu Mingming.

Then I remembered that I hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Mom, what about it?"

Mother Chu also said, "Hmm? I haven't seen it yet? Have you run out to play?"

Chu Zhaozhao was a little worried and planned to find her.

But there is no one in the corridor, where can she go?

Chu Zhaozhao thought that maybe he had gone to the toilet, so he went to the women's toilet to look for it.

She looked over the toilet one by one, but found no trace of Chu Mingming.

Chu Zhaozhao began to get anxious, and A Lu also helped to go downstairs to find him.

When we reached the end of the corridor, this was the last toilet, and there was no movement inside.

Chu Zhaozhao called Chu Mingming's name twice, but he didn't hear the response, so he planned to go downstairs to find it.

As soon as I turned around and left, I heard a depressing cry coming from the compartment.

"Mingming?" Chu Zhaozhao walked back and knocked on the door, "Mingming? Are you inside?"

The person inside didn't speak, but the crying sounded intermittently. Chu Zhaozhao confirmed that the person was Chu Mingming.

"Mingming! Come out!" Chu Zhaozhao began to knock on the door hard, "Why are you hiding inside? Come out!"

Chu Mingming still didn't open the door, so Chu Zhaozhao couldn't know her condition and could only worry.

After a long time, Chu Mingming finally spoke.

She choked and said, "Sister...you give up on me..."

Chu Zhaozhao's knocking hand paused for a moment, then slapped hard: "What are you talking nonsense?! Come out quickly!"

Chu Mingming cried even harder, and she said in tears: "You give up on me, I'm not your biological child anyway!"

Chu Zhaozhao suddenly fell silent and stopped knocking on the door. She just followed the door without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it took, Chu Mingming was tired from crying and gradually became quiet.

At this time, Chu Zhaozhao said, "Have you cried enough? If you cried enough, come out. I am very tired and want to go home to rest. I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

This sentence has an absolute deterrent effect on Chu Mingming, because over the years, she has been trying to make herself mature and sensible and not cause any trouble to the Chu family.

So when Chu Zhaozhao said she was very tired, Chu Mingming walked out obediently no matter how emotionally collapsed the moment before.

Tears were still hanging on her face, her eyes were red, and she couldn't raise her head.

Chu Zhaozhao wiped her tears with a tissue and said softly: "I'll send you home first. You'll be alone at home tonight, so take care of the doors, windows, water, electricity and electricity."

Chu Mingming nodded.

Chu Zhaozhao said again: "Don't think about it all. Mom is going to accompany dad in the hospital. I'm going to go back to work. You can take care of your family, okay?"
