Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Sima drove to Li Guixiang's house. Li Guixiang finally followed his advice and waited for him honestly at home.Xiaoyan had already gone to school, so Sima helped Li Guixiang into the car, and then drove towards the Municipal People's Hospital.When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor recognized that this was the relative of Hong Zhonghua, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Naturally, they received him warmly and checked carefully. Although Li Guixiang still owed the hospital medical expenses, the hospital seemed to be holding an activity to learn from Lei Feng. Everyone was talking about five things, four beauties and three loves , did not mention medical expenses at all.After blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound, CT, etc., a whole set of inspections from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, did not come out with a preliminary result until the end of get off work: acute rheumatoid arthritis.

Sima asked about the cause of the illness, and the doctor asked him back, "Has the patient caught a cold recently?" Sima couldn't answer, so he looked at Li Guixiang helplessly.Li Guixiang said honestly: "Our house doesn't even have an air conditioner, so how can we catch cold when it's so hot?" Sima reminded her: "Sister Li, didn't you catch a cold a few days ago? You were still in the hospital on a bottle." Li Guixiang said: "I remembered what you said. That day, it might have been too hot to wait for the car outside. When I took Xiaoyan to the hospital, the air conditioner in the car was too cold. At that time, I felt It's cold, I have a fever after getting off the car, and I'll be fine after I get an injection of the bottle."

The doctor said: "That's right. The weather is hot, and the pores on the human body are open to dissipate heat. At this time, suddenly entering a low-temperature environment, a cold and inflammation can easily induce rheumatism. Fortunately, it is more timely to come to the doctor. If it is delayed, it is likely to cause rheumatism. Acute rheumatic heart disease, rheumatic kidney damage, etc." While speaking, the doctor issued a hospitalization order and asked Sima to go through the hospitalization procedures.A deposit of 3,000 yuan is required to go through the hospitalization procedures. The toll collector at the window does not know Sima, nor does he know who Sima sent.Sima didn't have enough money in his pocket, so he had to deposit his mobile phone and ID card to the toll office, promising to send the deposit in the afternoon.If he doesn't do it, he has to pay a full deposit before he can be hospitalized.Sima had no choice but to go to the outpatient doctor again in the name of Hong Zhonghua, asking Li Guixiang to be a relative of Hong Zhonghua, could he go through the hospitalization procedures first, and he would send the money over in the afternoon.The outpatient doctor knew that he was indeed Hong Zhonghua's driver, and Li Guixiang must also be Hong Zhonghua's relative, because last time Hong Zhonghua sent Li Guixiang and her daughter to see a doctor with him. Where do they come to see a doctor?Hearing that the hospitalization procedures could not be completed, he immediately called the dean to report, and the dean immediately came to the outpatient department, warmly and thoughtfully led Sima to go through the hospitalization procedures for Li Guixiang, not only did not charge a deposit, even Sima wanted to deposit a fee. No mobile phone or ID card is required.Sima felt the advantages of the secretary firsthand, and while helping Li Guixiang to the ward, he secretly planned how to use Hong Zhonghua's advantage to save Li Guixiang's medical expenses.

After sending Li Guixiang to the ward, the resident doctor immediately began to conduct further examinations and diagnoses on Li Guixiang, and then immediately began to take medicine, eat, beat, hang up, and all kinds of treatment methods went into battle.Sima was most concerned about recovering from the illness. After Li Guixiang settled down, he followed the doctor to the duty room to ask if there would be any sequelae of the illness.The doctor said that this acute attack of rheumatism is aggressive, but it is easy to treat. If it turns into chronic rheumatism, it will be troublesome. It can only eliminate symptoms and stabilize the condition, but it is difficult to cure completely.Sima asked: "Then is it acute or chronic?" The doctor said it was acute. If there were no complications, it would be cured within ten days and half a month, and there would be no sequelae after the cure.

Sima was finally completely relieved, and quickly called Hong Zhonghua to report Li Guixiang's treatment.Hong Zhonghua was relieved to hear that Li Guixiang's illness was all right, and told Sima not to pick him up after he settled Li Guixiang's affairs, and he needed another car after get off work.When Sima heard that Hong Zhonghua didn't need the car at noon, he planned to meet Xiaoyan at Li Guixiang's house.He has always been thinking about Xiaoyan. If Hong Zhonghua uses the car at noon, no one will take care of Xiaoyan after school at noon. If Hong Zhonghua doesn't use the car at noon, he can take care of Xiaoyan. Bring it to the hospital.After Li Guixiang settled down, Sima drove to Xiaoyan's house.

Che Jilu was in a good mood today. When he walked out of the city hall, although the weather was hot, he didn't feel irritable at all.Today he finally went through the formalities of re-purchasing the car. That deputy director Zhang was really good at his job and he was a cheerful person, but he just "sit and sit" together, comforted him a little with wine, food and beauties, and took special care of him.He went to Deputy Director Zhang with the car purchase report today, and he approved it without saying a word, and led him directly to the government procurement office. After completing various procedures, he told him that they can buy cars now. After the vehicle model is determined, you can pick up the goods directly with the purchase procedures of the government procurement office, and the government procurement office will pay for the goods after the acceptance and signature.

"We have agreed on this kind of thing. You still need to go there yourself? Send someone over to find me. Why don't you trust me?" When sending him out, Deputy Director Zhang half-heartedly Truthfully polite. Che Jilu also jokingly said: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I just feel that I'm against you, so I took this opportunity to come and see you." Deputy Director Zhang laughed loudly: "Well, whether it's true or not, I like to hear it. Have you seen an exclamation mark recently?" Che Jilu said he didn't see her, and was busy all day long. Even though they were all relatives, the chances to meet him were limited: "Why, do you have anything to do with him?"

Deputy Director Zhang said: "It's nothing important. Take some time in a day or two to make an appointment with him. Let's sit down together. We agreed in advance that I will pay for it this time." Che Jilu thought that he helped to finish the job, and wanted to cut another lump of his own flesh, so he quickly said, "Why are you paying the bill? Why, are you afraid you owe me a favor? I'll come, you pay the bill and I won't go." Deputy Director Zhang laughed and said: "You are a person who has not had much contact with you in the past, and you are really loyal. Don't worry about these things between us. To be honest, I really have something to ask him for help when looking for the exclamation mark."

Che Zhulu asked curiously, "What can he help?" Deputy director Zhang said: "I have a relative, forget it, let me tell you directly, it is my brother, who has been working as the deputy director of the Provincial Tourism Bureau for many years, and has not moved the place. Yeah, I want the exclamation mark to help me run and run." Che Jilu said disapprovingly: "Exclamation mark? Just because he can handle such a big thing? If he can do it, he can still be the captain of the driver in Tongzhou City?" Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile: "You think that you are more capable than others when you become a deputy director? Don't forget, what is the old master doing now?"

Che Jilu said, "Isn't it Secretary Huang? Can Secretary Huang listen to him?" Deputy Director Zhang said: "Red lips and white teeth may not listen. Don't you have to do your job properly? Anyway, people can talk and dress well, and they are better than you and me. " Che Jilu's heart suddenly became clear. It turned out that Deputy Director Zhang worked so hard to help approve the car, not because of the chic walk that night, but because of the relationship between the exclamation mark and Secretary Huang.Thinking of the virtue of "I rely on" the exclamation point, I couldn't help but secretly laughed. It was hard to believe that he could do such a big thing, so he said to Deputy Director Zhang: "I'll make an appointment with him for you. Whenever you need me, I will accompany you."

Deputy Director Zhang said: "It will definitely work. You must come when the time comes and help me play the side drum. I will try my best to do what I need. The key is to let him thread the thread and lead the way." After breaking up with Deputy Director Zhang, Che Jilu secretly murmured in his heart along the way, if the exclamation mark really has that ability, and he has been the deputy director for a long time, why not find him for activities?Wouldn't it be natural to be able to help others, and to help relatives?In the past, he didn't think much of the exclamation mark, thinking that he was nothing more than a driver or a coachman, but now he understands that there is something amazing about this exclamation mark.In the future, the relationship that needs to be contacted still needs to be properly communicated. People in power like Deputy Director Zhang are rushing to get close to him, and I should get close first.Thinking about this matter in his heart along the way, the driver thought he was upset and didn't like to talk, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to argue with him along the way.Back at the bureau, I was going to call Hulu to look at the car together, but now I don’t have the heart to go to see it anymore, so I called Hulu and said: "I have finished the affairs of the Finance Bureau, you go to see the car first. , Audi and Passat are fine, it must be made in Germany, black, and other colors are not required, I will make an order with you after I am optimistic about it.” A new car will be opened soon, and Hulu left happily.Che Rulu picked up the phone and hung up the exclamation mark, the call was connected, and Che Rulu asked him: "Brother, are you doing anything tonight?" As usual, the exclamation point is the catchphrase: "Damn! Why do you think of me again? Are you going to wear someone again?" Che Jilu said: "There are so many things to wear. There is no one else today, just me and you, and the three of us, Director Zhang of the Finance Bureau. Do you have time to sit?" The exclamation mark hesitated for a while and said, "Damn, what's the matter with you recently? You care so much about me, it makes my scalp go numb." Che Jilu said, "Why? Do you have a problem with me? It's nothing else. It's just that something has gone wrong recently and I'm feeling bored. Let's relax together." The exclamation mark said: "Damn it, with such a big bureau chief in front of him and with such a high salary, what else is there to be bored about? All right, as long as you pay the bill, you can do whatever you want. But you still have to ask me for leave." Che Jilu flirted with him: "I didn't see that, my sister-in-law is really powerful, and she insisted on controlling you. Okay, I'll ask you for leave. It's six o'clock in the evening. What place are you talking about?" The exclamation mark lowered his voice and said, "That place was really fucking good that day. Damn, it's good enough, but it's too expensive." Che Jilu said, "Do you care if someone pays the bill? It's settled like this. Come pick me up after get off work." The exclamation point happily agreed.Che Jilu put down the phone, turned around and made an appointment with Deputy Director Zhang of the Finance Bureau, and then went to the office of the bureau and threw the car purchase formalities to Wei Jun: "Put it away, the car will come in in a few days, and you will go through the formalities then." The finance office of the bureau is under the management of the bureau office. The finance office is responsible for handling these specific matters. The finance office also needs to handle a series of fixed asset changes, registration, and reporting procedures, so he handed over the procedures to Wei Jun.Wei Jun looked at the approval procedures and the payment letter of credit stamped with the big seal of the Government Procurement Office of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and was stunned: "Director Che, you are really capable. The Tourism Bureau also needs to update a car, and the report was printed last year. It’s gone, and there’s no news of it until now, you go to do it the same day, is the finance director some relative of your family? I’m convinced, I’m really convinced.” Che Jilu hated his smiling and depraved virtue, and said coldly: "The thing that really makes you obey is yet to come." Coming out of the bureau office, he secretly longed for the day when he became the chief of the bureau, the top leader, The first thing to kill is this smiling tiger. When Sima arrived at Li Guixiang's house, Xiaoyan had already finished school.Seeing Xiaoyan eating cold steamed buns alone at home, Sima dragged her out to eat.Xiaoyan was still polite to him: "Uncle Sima, there's no need, just have a bite at noon. How is my mother? Is she hospitalized? Is she seriously ill?" Sima dragged her out: "Your mother is in the hospital. It doesn't matter if she is ill. The doctor said that she will be discharged from the hospital in ten days and a half. Your mother said that you will be under my care during her hospitalization. Since it is under my care, you have to listen to me." If so, from today onwards, you are not allowed to fool around with meals, will you cook for yourself?" Xiaoyan said: "Children of the poor are already in charge of the house. I can steam steamed buns at the age of eight. Now I am twelve years old. I can not only steam steamed buns, but also steam rice and stir-fry vegetables." Sima said: "You don't need to steam the steamed buns, and you don't need to cook the vegetables. Don't cook the steamed buns before you eat them. After dinner, I will go to the supermarket with you to buy delicious food and put them in the refrigerator. , Do you have a refrigerator at home?" Xiaoyan said: "How can I have a refrigerator at home? It's useless to ask for that thing." Sima asked, "Why is it useless?" After asking, he realized that his question was too stupid. With the living standard of their family, even having a refrigerator was reluctant to consume electricity.Sima said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a refrigerator. Go to the supermarket and buy something that doesn't need a refrigerator. If I can come, we can have dinner together. If I can't come because I am busy, you can get something to eat yourself. You are growing up now. You have to go to class and study, so you must pay attention to nutrition." Xiaoyan said: "Everyone understands what you say. Who doesn't want to pay attention to nutrition? The key is to have that condition. If there is no such condition, we have to make do with it. But people are the most adaptable. Einstein?" Sima made another request: "Also, from today onwards, you will never be allowed to ask for money on the street again. Let your mother know. Do you know the consequences?" When this matter was brought up, Xiaoyan fell silent.Sima asked her: "It seems that you still can't let go of this way of making money." Xiaoyan murmured, "Do you think it's good to ask for money on the street? What should I do? I don't want to be a migrant worker like me. My mother doesn't want to say that she is sick now, even if she is not sick, she can find a job." It's so difficult, Uncle Sima, you can't watch us drink the northwest wind, can you?" Sima said: "Survival and development are the responsibility and obligation of adults. The situation your family encountered is only temporary. The party and the government will take care of it sooner or later..." Xiaoyan said: "I will manage it. The minimum living allowance is just to ensure that you don't starve to death. I still have to go to school. How can it be enough? Besides, receiving those minimum living allowances is no easier than going to work to find a job. This proves that Procedures, as if someone is deceiving the party and the country, my mother said, no one can rely on it, but you have to rely on yourself." Sima said: "That's true. As the old saying goes, it's better to have a father than a mother. Anyway, you can't ask for money. If you don't listen to me, I really have to tell your mother. Your mother My uncle will find a way, and when your mother recovers from her illness, I will contact her for you." Xiaoyan said: "That's great. If my mother has a job and I go to the street to ask for money, then I'm sick." Sima chatted with Xiaoyan all the way to the street to find food. The more he talked, the more he liked this little girl. Maybe it was really like Xiaoyan said. , with a small mouth chirping like a lark, at first glance he is a very clever child.The most valuable thing is that she has a generous and unhurried energy, and she can't see the low self-esteem and restraint that children from poor families often unconsciously reveal from her.Sima wondered why she was like this, so he asked her, "Xiaoyan, don't be angry when uncle asks you something." Xiaoyan said: "Ask, why are you angry? You are our family's benefactor now, how could I be angry with you?" Sima laughed loudly: "You really know how to say, I don't dare to pretend to be someone's benefactor, uncle asked you, your family life is so difficult, will you be bullied by other classmates at school, do any classmates look down on you? " Xiaoyan shook her head triumphantly: "No, who dares to bully me, they all have to curry favor with me." Sima couldn't believe it: "Really? Bragging?" Xiaoyan said: "You don't know, the most popular students in the school now are the students who study well. If there are more students who study well, the teacher's bonus will be higher, so the students who study well are the teacher's treasure." Sima asked her, "So you are the teacher's baby?" Xiaoyan said triumphantly: "Of course, how about being in the top three in Chinese and Mathematics in the whole grade? I can't even curry favor with other classmates. Those rich parents let their children learn from me. Some want to pay me to teach their children." Sima said, "Then why don't you earn this kind of money? Earning this kind of money is not much better than asking for money while kneeling on the side of the road." Xiaoyan said: "Are you stupid again? Doesn't earning supplementary tuition fees mean grabbing a job from the teacher? The teacher can't help but kill me as a competitor. It is actually nothing to ask for money on the road. In such a big city, who Who do you know? It looks like I’m kneeling there, but I’m actually imagining that I’m a high-ranking official, and those who give me money are my subordinates who come to give gifts, don’t think that I’m begging.” Sima Da laughed loudly: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, Uncle really admires you. Kneeling on the street and imagining that he is accepting bribes, you really deserve it." The two came to the street chattering. There are McDonald's and KFC at the corner of the street. This is the best deal to cheat children of money.Sima asked for Xiaoyan's opinion: "Xiaoyan, today is my uncle's treat. This is the first time I treat you. Shall we eat McDonald's or KFC?" Xiaoyan said: "What's so delicious about that thing? It's dead expensive. It's the foreign meat ham. One can buy four Chinese rou jia mo. If you don't eat it, go eat fast food." Sima asked her, "Have you eaten?" Xiaoyan said honestly: "I have never eaten it, but I heard that those things are considered junk food in foreign countries, so I never want to." Xiaoyan said it easily, but Sima felt secretly uncomfortable. How many children like Xiaoyan have never eaten McDonald's or KFC?No matter how poor the family is, if they earn money, they will want to let their children try something new.This shows how difficult life in Xiaoyan's family is. Sima said: "Today I will eat McDonald's, and tomorrow I will eat KFC. It doesn't matter if it tastes good or not, just try it." Xiaoyan asked him: "Uncle, do you often eat this kind of food?" Sima said, "I've eaten it once or twice, and I'm not used to it. You children may like it." Xiaoyan said it again: "Foreigners themselves say it's junk food, and the two of us still eat it. Isn't it a bit silly?" Sima said: "That's all nonsense, let them starve for two days like African refugees, and see if they dare to call what they eat garbage." Xiaoyan made an expression of showing Sima Tian a great face and sighed, "Okay then, let's try the taste of junk food today." Xiaoyan's eyes were not enough when she entered the McDonald's restaurant, especially when Sima led her to pick and choose food in front of the counter, Xiaoyan still showed timidity and shook her head like a rattle: "Anything is fine, uncle, you order I can eat whatever I want." Sima is not good at this kind of thing. Under the guidance of the waiter, he ordered a spicy chicken burger for himself. As Xiaoyan said, it is dead expensive. A piece of bread with chicken legs costs ten yuan. If it is China Roujiamo, up to two dollars.I also ordered Xiaoyan a hamburger, French fries, pineapple pie, chocolate milkshake, and Coke. The two of them spent more than 40 yuan, and happily came to the table with a plate to eat.Xiaoyan is a child after all, she still loves to eat this kind of food, even though she called it junk food just now, it really tastes delicious, especially when she tastes the chocolate milkshake, it can be described as intoxicated .Seeing Xiaoyan eat deliciously and well, Sima felt very comfortable. He felt that this meal was not a treat for Xiaoyan, but a comfort for himself. Watching Xiaoyan eat McDonald's, he seemed to enjoy it. A hearty spiritual meal. After eating and drinking enough, Sima said: "Let's go home first. You find your mother's toiletries and a change of clothes and tidy them up. I will send them to her in time in the afternoon. Let's go to the supermarket and prepare something for you." Some food." Xiaoyan licked her lips with the tip of her small tongue, with a satisfied look: "Okay, it's up to you, you are an adult, listen to you." So the two of them first went to the supermarket to buy some food, nothing more than instant noodles, bread, pickles, ham sausage, tea eggs, etc. They bought a bunch of them in a mess. Fool yourself.Then he went home to pack Li Guixiang's things. Sima couldn't intervene in this kind of matter. Xiaoyan fully showed the advantage of being a poor child who is in charge of the family early. Comes out and puts it in a travel bag.Sima picked it up and walked out the door, Xiaoyan chased him out and handed him a thermos pot and a now rare enamel tea mug: "Take this, my mother has to drink water when she is hospitalized? I want to see it tonight." my mother." Sima said: "Don't go by yourself, I will pick you up after get off work at night and we will go together." Xiaoyan agreed, and Sima hurried to the hospital with his things. In the afternoon, he had to go to Hong Zhonghua's house to pick him up for work.I have been busy for most of the day today, and I took my lunch break, but he feels very fulfilled and happy.
