The county hospital was silent.Both the sick and the healer fell asleep.The lights in the yard glowed pale in the cold wind. Gao Guanghou and Lu Ruoqin came to this place of hope anxiously, holding the seriously ill Bingbing.They searched for a long time before they found the door with the sign "Emergency Room". There are no lights inside.The doctor was apparently asleep. Lu Ruoqin knocked on the door.There is no sound. After waiting for a while, Gao Guanghou knocked on the door again.Bingbing coughed and gasped in his arms.Still nothing. Gao Guanghou was so anxious that he punched the door hard with his fist.

"Who?" came an unhappy question from inside. "There is an urgent patient!" Lu Ruoqin shouted outside the door. "It's almost clear...come back tomorrow morning!" The person inside seemed to have turned over...and fell asleep again. "Oh, good doctor, the baby is very sick, please get up and have a look..." Gao Guanghou said to the inside almost begging. "We came from the countryside, and we have already run ten miles in the middle of the night! Please get up and have a look." Lu Ruoqin added. After a while, the lights inside were turned on.Hearing something impatiently muttered inside, he heard that he started to put on his clothes.

After a long time, the door opened.A tall, thin doctor wearing glasses said coldly: "Come in." They hurriedly carried the child in. Although the doctor has a cold attitude towards people, he is still serious about examining patients.He listened for a long time with a stethoscope on Bingbing's chest and back.Bingbing was so frightened that he cried for his life. After listening to the doctor, the doctor said slowly: "Acute pneumonia. You need to be hospitalized." He stood up and walked to another table, opened an order, and said, "Pay the fee first." Gao Guanghou suddenly called out to Lu Ruoqin: "Oh! Look at me! I forgot to bring money!" Lu Ruoqin immediately felt in his pocket, and said dejectedly: "Oh, I didn't bring it either..." "This What can I do?" Gao Guanghou turned his head and said to the doctor: "Can you stay here first, and I will find a way to pay the money tomorrow?"

The doctor said with no expression on his face: "Then you can discuss it with the toll office..." He took off his white coat and went to wash his hands.The two had no choice but to quickly pick up the child and go to the toll office at the door. It still took a long time to knock on the door before waking him up. When Gao Guanghou explained the situation to the old man at the toll office, the man said: "Pay the hospitalization fee in advance, this is the hospital's regulation!" "Okay, you see the child is sick like this, it's important to save people first, you can do it! I will pay the money tomorrow, and I will definitely not miss it!" Gao Guanghou begged again.

"Hmph! Many ordinary people used to be like this. But as soon as they recovered from their illness, they ran away secretly. There were thousands of dollars in the hospital's account, and they couldn't get any of them back!" "We are teachers, we won't do this," Lu Ruoqin said. "Anyway, it's impossible! If you don't pay money, you can't live here! This is what the director told you!" He said firmly.Bingbing was coughing violently, breathing abnormally rapidly. Seeing this situation, the person who paid the fee seemed to feel a little pity. He came over to look at the child and said, "It's really serious! My nose is a little slapped!"

He turned his head and said to Gao Guanghou: "Let your lover hold the baby, you can go and talk to the dean, and he will agree." Lu Ruoqin's face turned red. Gao Guanghou said dejectedly to this person: "She is a comrade from one of my schools..." "Oh, I'm sorry!" He looked at Lu Ruoqin and Gao Guanghou in surprise. Lu Ruoqin didn't care too much, and said to Gao Guanghou, "You and Bingbing stay here for a while, let me go!" She turned around and ran away. Lu Ruoqin found the dean's dormitory according to the person at the toll office.

After she knocked on the door for a while, she heard a woman inside asking, "What's the matter!" "I have an urgent patient, ask Dean Gao to get up!" Lu Ruoqin didn't care to explain the situation in detail. "Go to the doctor! I don't know how to treat diseases!" A man's voice came from inside.This is probably the dean. "There is something that the doctor can't control. I want to discuss it with you." There was no sound for a long time. In some hospitals, patients often encounter such a situation.They seem like nothing in the world is going on when you're in a rush.

When Lu Ruoqin saw the situation, she felt helpless. She suddenly remembered: Once.She listened to her brother chatting with another person, who seemed to have mentioned that the wife of the director of the hospital has a rural household registration, and said that his children wanted to go to a county middle school in the city, but according to county regulations, their family is far away from the city, so they should I was studying in the nearby commune middle school, so I couldn't come.The dean wanted his son to go to a "high-quality" middle school, and he came to him a few times, and he quickly got it done.I remember that person joked to his brother: "If you get sick in the future..."

The clever girl suddenly had an idea. She knocked on the door again and said, "I'm the younger sister of the household director of the Education Bureau..." The light inside flicked on, and immediately I heard the sound of nervously putting on clothes and slippers.Now it works!The door opened quickly, and the bald dean came out in a padded jacket and asked her, "What's the matter with Director Lu? I was drinking with him at Director Qi's house yesterday!..." Lu Ruoqin almost laughed, and said, "It's not that Director Lu is sick!" "His child?" "No." "You?" "No." "Then who is sick?" His attitude was a little uncomfortable again.

Lu Ruoqin quickly told him the truth. Now that Dean Gao had woken up, seeing that it was Director Lu's younger sister pleading for mercy, he had no choice but to follow her to the toll office, and said to that person, "I'll take care of it..." done!Everything was settled in no time! After being busy for a while, they were settled in the ward of the inpatient department. The nurse on duty immediately came over to give Bingbing an injection, and also brought various medicines.Lu Ruoqin and Gao Guanghou coaxed Bingbing to finish taking the medicine, and the nurse administered another sedative, and the child fell asleep sleepily...
