Chapter 14 Kiss potatoes (4)

Li Aijie's arm went limp when carrying the kettle, and she asked in a low voice, "Is there any way to save you if you're really going to get lung cancer?" "It's not that my mouth is damaged. There's no cure for cancer." The woman said, "With the money for medical treatment, it's better to visit the scenery. But don't worry, maybe he is not cancer, and he hasn't been diagnosed yet." .” Li Aijie felt more and more gloomy about his future. Not only did his hands lose strength, but his legs were also a little wobbly, and he was a little dazzled when looking at things.

"Do you have relatives in Harbin?" "No." Li Aijie said. "Then where do you live at night?" "I'll just sit next to my man and stay with him." "You don't know yet, family members are not allowed to stay in the ward at night, unless they are seriously ill, they are allowed to have an escort at night. Look at you, your family is not particularly rich, and you can't afford to stay in a hotel, why don't you stay with me. One hundred yuan a month is enough." "Where is that place?" Li Aijie asked. "It's not far from the hospital. It's a 20-minute walk. It's an old house that needs to be relocated. It's short and squat. The landlord is an old couple, and they have a room of ten square meters. It used to be that the man with liver cancer and I lived with his wife, and when her husband died, she packed up her things and went back to the countryside.”

"I'm too sorry." Li Aijie said, "You are really kind." "My name is Wang Qiuping." The woman said, "You can call me Sister Ping." "Sister Ping." Li Aijie said, "My daughter is also called Ping, Fenping." The two women left the tea stove room and returned to the corridor of the hospital through a section of cinder-strewn market road.They walked one after the other, with heavy steps.Some family members of the patients came and went to fetch water and empty leftovers, and there was a pungent rancid smell coming from the trash can in the bathroom.

When Li Aijie was about to leave him and live with Wang Qiuping, Qin Shan suddenly took her by the hand and said, "Aijie, if the diagnosis is cancer, we don't suffer this foreign crime here, I'd rather die in our potato field in Lizhen inside." "Nonsense." Seeing Wang Qiuping looking at them, Li Aijie quickly withdrew his hand and blushed a little. "Don't worry about money, eat well and live well." Qin Shan instructed. "Understood." Li Aijie said. The landlord couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Wang Qiuping had brought in a new tenant.The old lady quickly boiled a pot of water and washed two gherkins for them to eat as fruits.The room was very low, and the two beds were made of bricks and wood boards. There was a strip-shaped low table with mottled paint in the middle of the two beds, and there were dental appliances, mirrors, teacups, toilet paper and other things piled on it.There are a few old clothes hanging on the wall, and there is a wooden toilet in the corner behind the door.All this scenery was made even more gray by the low light bulb.

Wang Qiuping and Li Aijie turned off the light after washing their feet, and they lay in the dark talking. "Just now I saw the strength of your man holding your hand, it really made me jealous." Wang Qiuping said enviously, "Your relationship is really deep." "So when he gets sick, I suffer more than when I get sick." Li Aijie said softly.
