Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Jingting Hospital

Jingting Hospital is in the suburbs, away from the bustling city, but very close to several major cemeteries.To get there from Xiangchunshu Street, you have to cross half of the city and the countryside. In theory, there are buses that stop at Jingting Hospital, but it takes five transfers, which is extremely inconvenient.Riding a bicycle is a little more enjoyable, but the distance is too long, at least it will take more than an hour.Therefore, for residents living in the northern part of the city, going to Jingting Hospital is not considered a trip, but they need to make preparations for the trip in advance.

Baorun went to Jingting Hospital for the first time to catch up with the Ching Ming Festival, and took a ride with the truck driver Lao Jin.Lao Jin's family was going to sweep the grave, so they picked up Baorun's family along the way.Two families boarded the same Dongfeng truck for different purposes.The Jin family, who were sweeping the tomb and offering sacrifices to their ancestors, were relaxed, almost in the mood of a spring outing. The female family members took a break from their busy schedule and folded the last batch of paper money with tin foil in the car.Su Baozhen reluctantly helped the Jin family fold a few ingots, and suddenly felt sad, and couldn't hold back a few tears, which fell on one of the ingots.Mrs. Jin was surprised, "Bao Run's mother, we are not sad when we go to visit the grave, but why are you so sad when you go to see a patient?"Su Baozhen wiped away her tears and said resentfully, where am I sad?Tears of hate.To tell you the truth, I can't pretend that filial piety, who wants to see this harmful old lunatic?I went to Jingting Hospital to pay the indemnity. If I didn’t pay, it would be impossible. If I didn’t pay, I would drive him home.Seeing that the female family members of the Jin family were puzzled, she took out several kraft paper envelopes from a cloth bag, all of which were official letters from Jingting Hospital.Look, they are all here to ask for money!Su Baozhen shook the envelope and said, fifteen holly trees cost one hundred yuan, eight boxwood trees also cost one hundred yuan, and one sweet-scented osmanthus tree cost two hundred yuan. That old madman dug and dug and dug up I have five hundred dollars!

Everyone circulated those pages of indemnity notices in the car, very outraged.Mrs. Jin thought that the hospital was cheating, especially the price of 200 yuan for the osmanthus tree was too expensive. She said that the fragrance of an osmanthus tree only lasts for half a month. How can it be so expensive?Su Baozhen nodded again and again, I also said they were cheating, they called and quarreled several times, what's the use?People say that Jingting Hospital is a ministerial-level greening demonstration unit, and every tree is a model tree, which is more expensive than ordinary trees for people to visit and take pictures of!Mrs. Jin said, what kind of demonstration, what kind of template?all fake.I don't know how to do business, don't listen to what they say, all tree species are sold at half price!

Everyone in the car was discussing the relationship between trees and money, but Bao Run's father was silent. He sat on the windshield, his hair was flying like a flock of birds, his eyes were avoiding Su Baozhen, and he kept a sense of guilt on his face.Lao Jin's family members were full of doubts and asked Bao Run's father, didn't they say that the flashlight was buried on the Toon Tree Street?Don't you mean buried under the holly tree?How did it go to Jingting Hospital to dig it up?Why do we have to dig under the boxwood osmanthus?Baorun's father smiled wryly, where is the flashlight?The property of my ancestors has long been gone, what else is worth digging for?Don't believe my father's words, he really lost his soul, his mind is full of garbage, what he said, you just think he farted.

Seeing Baorun's father's painful expression, Mrs. Jin stopped the curiosity of the juniors. She comforted him from another angle, saying that the hospital was also responsible for his grandfather digging up trees indiscriminately in the hospital. Mental patients couldn't control themselves. Why did the medical staff not care? live him?Baorun's father said, you don't know, my father's condition is the only one in the world, the hospital has consulted many times, and they are all from experts, who don't know what medicine should be used for a patient like him, and which one should he belong to Department management, doctors all pay attention to the cure rate, no one is willing to accept my father as a patient, no one cares about him!Mrs. Jin said, can such a famous mental hospital cure your father?What did you send him there for?Get transferred early.Her youngest son Ah Si interjected at the side at this time, saying that it would be better to be sent to prison than to be transferred to another hospital. At least sending him to prison is free of charge, with food and shelter included. There are no trees in the prison, and the old man can't dig it even if he wants to.Someone on the truck covered his mouth and laughed. Mrs. Jin wanted to beat her son. Su Baozhen took her hand and said, Ah Si is not a joke. If the prison is willing to accept the old lunatic, I will send him to the prison and see who can stop him. live with me!All the people in the car subconsciously observed Bao Run's father. His face was contorted, his eyes were evasive, he glanced at his wife over there, and then at the scenery in the field, saying, this is a lesson, blame me for trusting Jingting Hospital too much, It's not good to leave the old man alone in the hospital. In the future, he must be strictly guarded.

When passing through Jingting Hospital, the truck stopped, and the two families parted ways. Those who should go to the grave went to the grave, and those who should go to the hospital went to the hospital.The sky was gray and rainy, and Baorun remembered it clearly. He followed his parents into the big iron gate of Jingting Hospital. A girl came out with a light green parasol and passed him by. Umbrella Horn swooped down like a bird and pecked him on the cheek.Baorun didn't say anything, but the girl with the umbrella took the lead. Hey, where are your eyes?Baorun smacked the umbrella angrily, shouting "Stop the thief?"It's your umbrella that touched my face, where are your fucking eyes?The handle of the umbrella was tilted, and the girl's face was completely exposed under the umbrella. She had a fierce expression, and there was a hint of curiosity in her challenging eyes. She examined Baorun from head to toe, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, hello, What ward are you from?Hurry up and go back to the ward, it's time to take the medicine!

Bao Run had never had any good way to deal with such tactful and narrow abuse from girls. He stepped aside angrily, watched the light green parasol pass by the iron gate, and muttered blindly, "Wait!" with.He remembered his dream.Reality is slightly different from dreams.The girl under the umbrella is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a simple ponytail, a thin and delicate face, dark almond eyes, and a slightly dark complexion. Her eyebrows are raised and the corners of her mouth are tight, all to emphasize her arrogance, and contempt for you.She is much more beautiful than the nameless girl in the photo. Compared with the photo, her anger is also three-dimensional, similar to that light green umbrella, practical, vivid, with gorgeous colors and streamlined shape.Baorun hesitated for a moment, but he chased after her by mistake. He gave her a strange smile and shouted, "Hey, have you lost any photos at Hongyan Photo Studio?"

The umbrella stopped, and the girl under the umbrella turned her head. Judging from the disgusted expression, Baorun thought she was about to curse again, but this time she was quite polite, just expressing her contempt and disrespect to a photo studio.Hongyan photo studio?Who will go to Hongyan Photo Studio to take pictures?She turned the umbrella cover a bit, and let out a snort from her nostrils, you country folks, you like to go there to take pictures. Baorun's parents went to the hospital office to negotiate the compensation, trying to save some money, but they hit a wall.The hospital said that they are public hospitals, not small merchants and hawkers in the vegetable market, and they will be compensated according to the price for damage to public property. How can they bargain?He also reminded Su Baozhen to pay attention to his wording, big sister, don't go around in circles with eccentricities, are you saying that we are cheating?We don't want to rob your family. Whether your patient needs to be hospitalized, everyone should carefully consider it. The old man is completely fine if he is not hospitalized. He is not aggressive to people, but only endangers trees. If you are not willing to pay for the tree, today Just take them home first.After arguing for a long time, they had no intention of giving in. Su Baozhen gritted her teeth and chose to pay the full amount of compensation. She said to her husband, pay!We will pay as much as we want, even if we lose everything, we can’t let the old lunatic go home. If you let him go home, I won’t go home. If you go through the discharge procedures for him, I will go through the hospitalization procedures today!

Su Baozhen was full of grievances. She didn't want to see her grandfather, and she didn't want to stay in Jingting Hospital for a long time. She preferred to wait on the highway for the Jin family's truck to return from the cemetery.Bao Run watched his parents break up downstairs in the office building. The two seemed to have just experienced a catastrophe. His mother looked like a sad victim, while his father looked like a repentant sinner. Baorun followed his father to the men's ward, and they went to visit their grandfather.This is the first time he entered the depths of Jingting Hospital.The greening of Jingting Hospital is well-deserved. It is full of flowers and green leaves. Cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are in full bloom. Dianthus, crabapple, roses and roses can be seen everywhere on the green island on the ground.The security measures in the men's ward were far less stringent than Baorun had imagined. The guard interrogated him a few times, filled out the visitor form, and the father and son were released.Baorun was almost disappointed and asked, can I go in now?The guard laughed, what else do you want?It's easy to get in, but it's a bit difficult to get out, so remember to get your exit pass.After entering the second iron gate, Bao Run looked around, still disappointed in his heart, and complained, is this place a nursing home or a mental hospital?Why is it so deserted?I thought Jingting Hospital was so lively.Father glared at Bao Run, you want to come here to watch the excitement?Isn't that easy?From now on, if you come to accompany Grandpa every day, there must be something lively for you to watch!

They went up to the second floor and caught sight of Grandpa, who was waving to his relatives on the stairs.My grandfather misunderstood the news from somewhere, packed his luggage in advance, and sat on the steps with a bulging mesh bag, like a lost child, waiting to go home.Behind the grandfather was a tall and thick man, smoking a cigarette, wearing a white coat, black rubber boots on his feet, and a pair of black rubber gloves on his hands.Bao Run felt that the pair of black rubber gloves were very fashionable. They were like a pair of bats, clinging tightly to his grandfather's shoulders.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but my grandfather's figure has become thinner and smaller. His eyes are very aggrieved and anxious, after waiting for so long!Grandpa said, what's the matter with you?Made me wait so long!Father stopped on the stairs and stared at grandfather coldly. Dad, you have done a good job again. Today we lost 500 yuan.The grandfather pretended to be deaf, and he stretched out his hand to his son, asking his son to help him up, but Baorun's father just checked his grandfather's palm, why didn't he dig it today?There are still a lot of trees in this place, go dig them!I will pay as much as you dig, I have plenty of money! Grandpa couldn't tell whether it was shyness or guilt. He tried to sit up from the steps, but was pushed down by the male nurse next to him.The male nurse asked Bao Run's father, is he really going to be discharged from the hospital today?The old man sat here early in the morning and said that his son picked him up today and he had to leave early. I am not in charge of the patients, I am in charge of the toilets, and there are still eight toilets that have not been cleaned.Baorun's father said, then you should clean the toilet immediately, we will not go home for the time being, we have already paid the indemnity, not a penny is too much. The light in grandfather's eyes went out instantly.He protested in the arms of the male orderly.A vague curse came out of his throat, and he couldn't tell whether the object of the curse was the children and grandchildren, the hospital, or the male nurse.The grandfather struggled to throw the mesh bag at his son, but the throwing resistance was too great, and Baorun successfully intercepted the mesh bag into his arms.Grandpa opened his mouth wide and began to cry. The liquid composed of tears, snot and saliva trickled down his jaw, forming a tidal wave of grief.Baorun had never seen his grandfather cry like this before. The vague cry was mixed with vicious oaths. If he doesn't let him go home, I will dig it!dig!dig!I will dig!I still want to dig! Baorun carried his grandfather's luggage through the corridor, and finally found the lively side of Jingting Hospital.There are sick people in the corridor. A bald man is standing against the wall, his eyes are closed and his brows are tightly furrowed, as if he is thinking about some profound question. When Bao Run passed by him, his eyes suddenly opened and he grabbed Bao Run. Run, are you sent by the organization?Secretary Zhang persecuted me, and the organization wanted to make decisions for me.Baorun got rid of the bald man, what organization?You are humorous, I will call the shots for you, who will call the shots for me?Passing by the toilet, Bao Run almost bumped into another weird patient. He came out of the toilet with his lower body naked, his trousers pulled down to his knees, his buttocks stuck between his legs, and he crawled in the corridor.Baorun had no choice but to slow down and keep a certain distance from him, and heard the patient muttering to save paper, water and electricity.Baorun didn't dare to look at the patient's pale and thin buttocks, and didn't dare to laugh, he squinted his eyes and held his breath, and said as he walked, it's lively, now it's lively. There were two chairs at the door of my grandfather's ward No. 9. On one of the chairs sat a young man with a handsome face. His hair was longer than a girl's and was tied into a ponytail. He first greeted Baorun in English, hello !Then they became less friendly, not only blocked Baorun's way with hands and feet, but also asked Baorun a sharp and abrupt question, what is love?Baorun was puzzled and said, what love is not love?My grandfather lives in this ward, and I am his grandson.The young man said, I don't care about grandparents and grandchildren, if I can't answer, I'm not allowed to enter. What is love?Please answer!Baorun looked into the ward and said, what is love?You tell me, I've never been in love, I really don't know.The young man's expression seemed unfathomable, how can I tell you my love?This is the password, think about it.Baorun said instinctively, what is love?Love, shit?Fortunately, Baorun's instinct was right, he answered half of the passwords correctly, the young man tolerantly corrected Baorun, it's not bullshit, it's stinky fart!Then there was a burst of wild laughter, the chair in the way was pulled away, and Baorun was able to enter the grandfather's ward smoothly. There was an inexplicable stench in Ward No. 9, mixed with rancidity and the pungent smell of Lysol.Grandpa's bed had been made clean, a mattress was rolled up, and a blackened pillow was covered on it.Baorun spread out the mattress and found a pool of dark red stains on it, subtly outlining the shape of a flying bird. He studied it closely and smelled it. It was probably old blood, someone else's blood, and it should have nothing to do with his grandfather. .After a while, he heard a mess of angry footsteps, the chair blocking the door was kicked over, the young man guarding the door jumped up in a panic, what is love?Before the password could be asked, Baorun's father's roar sounded at the door of Ward No. 9, "Father, don't fight with me, I'm going all out, I'll stay with you today, until you die!"
