Chapter 11 A Phone Call

"Hey Xiaowa, when is the holiday?"

A very rough and strong voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded like a person with his back to the loess and his face to the sky.

"Father, I'll be on vacation in another month, and I'll be back then."

Wang Xiao quickly sat up and replied.

"Is there any money left? Do you have enough money? I'll bring you some if you don't have enough money."

"Enough is enough, how did you deliver this thousand miles of land? You don't have to travel so far. I will come back by car after the holiday. Be careful when you are doing farm work at home. Don't get mixed up. You are getting old too. , his body is not as sharp as before."

With a simple greeting, Wang Xiao only felt a sore nose. The distance of more than 1,000 kilometers would take him several days in a car. If he had no money, his father would probably take a car to send him money.

In their whole life, they hardly know how to use bank cards to transfer money through WeChat. Even if there are some relatives next door who can use bank cards, they don't believe in that stuff, and think it's all a lie.

"Father, it's so late, is there anything important for you to call?"

Wang Xiao instinctively felt that his father's words were a bit heavy, so he asked.

"It's okay, you can study at ease."

The more his father said this, the more Wang Xiao felt that there was a problem.

"If you have something to say, don't hide it from me. I'm already this old, and I can be considered an adult in my hometown. Don't you think Goudaner and the others have been working in the fields? I just read more than them. It’s just that I’ve read books for a few years, and I should help my family share anything.”

"Hey, something happened to your Uncle Zhang and his family."

"Uncle Zhang? What happened to Uncle Zhang and the others?"

Uncle Zhang's family is right next to Wang Xiao's house. They are neighbors. Almost all rural areas gather in the form of villages. There are only a few households in their village, and they know each other well.

Almost every year, Uncle Zhang lives with his family. Most of the other relatives of Wang Xiao's family have moved out of the village, leaving them alone in the village.

"A few days ago, Uncle Zhang went to the hospital to live. I heard that it costs thousands of dollars a day. That Laoshizi Hospital is full of scammers. He said that if he doesn't stay in the hospital, he will die. You say a living Do people die when they say they want to die? I told them to bring it back, but they didn’t listen, your Uncle Zhang’s family’s savings are almost used up, and they can’t afford to live. They probably will come back soon.”

Wang Xiao was very surprised when she heard that, she was admitted to the hospital for everything, and she paid thousands of dollars a day.

"Father, you have to trust the hospital. The doctors and doctors in the hospital are all treating the sick and saving lives. In your era, they were all walking barefoot doctors, but in our era, all the good doctors go to the hospital."

Wang Xiao was a little helpless. Many people in his father's generation didn't believe in hospitals, and they all thought that hospitals were a waste of money, but what if they didn't go to the hospital? Uncle Zhang might be in big trouble here.

"What's wrong with Uncle Zhang? Did he tell you what's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have heard them say that Bai has some kind of disease."

When Wang Xiao heard the words her father said, she was startled, what's wrong with Bai? Could it be leukemia?

"Did he tell you it was leukemia?"

"I don't know either. How can I know? It's just that your mother occasionally heard what Uncle Zhang's wife said. Don't worry about it. Come back and see your Uncle Zhang when you have time. I don't think it's a big deal. The hospital is full of Deceitful, let’s go exaggerated, come back and kill a few old hens in our family and send them to your Uncle Zhang, and keep them safe.”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiao couldn't calm down for a long time. What kind of thing is this?

The situation of Uncle Zhang and their family is almost exactly the same, they are all people with their backs to the loess and their faces facing the sky. If something happens to Uncle Zhang, then their family will be considered to be down.

A good family collapsed at any rate. Living in the hospital costs thousands of dollars a day. What the hell is this doing?

Wang Xiao is not a doctor. According to his father, hospitalization seems to cost a lot of money. Neither their family nor Uncle Zhang's family have this money.

After Wang Xiao hung up the phone, he immediately made another call.

"Hello, is that Lynn?"

"Brother Xiao?"

A very pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, but the voice was a little tired. This is Uncle Zhang's daughter Zhang Lin, who is only a few years younger than Wang Xiao, and she is also about to take the university entrance exam.

"Lin'er, I heard that Uncle Zhang is hospitalized, what's going on?"

"It's okay, brother Xiao, my father will leave the hospital soon, we plan to take him back to recuperate for a while."

Wang Xiao could clearly hear that Lin'er's voice seemed to be a little crying, but she was holding it back. Since she was a child, she has a strong personality.

"I heard from my father, does Uncle Zhang have leukemia?"

Wang Xiao didn't want to beat around the bush with him, because it would only increase the psychological burden on everyone. If she could directly ask the real situation, Su Xiulin would find a way to solve this problem with her.

"Brother Xiao, just leave it alone, I don't want to involve you."

The voice on the other end of the phone was cowardly and helpless. As Lin'er's childhood playmate and Wang Xiao, who had always claimed to be his brother, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

But sometimes, the reality is so helpless. For Wang Xiao, as a college student, where does he get the money? You must know that it may cost hundreds of thousands or millions to cure this disease.

This is not a small amount. He has to spend hundreds of dollars, so much money has never even thought about it. Of course, this was before yesterday.

Today he heard a lot from Professor Liu, and he knew that if he opened the factory and made his own robot, then a lot of money would flow into his pocket.

If this comes true, then Uncle Zhang's illness will naturally have money to be treated, but it will take time.

Time is the most precious thing. In the past, Wang Xiao often ignored it, but now he understands that what he lacks most is time.

"Brother Xiao, I really have nothing to do. We can't afford to live in the hospital, so we can only go home first. I know Brother Xiao, you want to help me, but..."

Listening to the silent voice on the other end of the phone, Wang Xiao was also silent. Even if he urged Professor Liu to open the factory as soon as possible, it would be impossible in ten days, half a month or half a year. , he still understands this point, so he will not force others to make things difficult for him.

"Beep beep..."

The phone was hung up by Lin'er on the other end. Maybe she felt uncomfortable, or she didn't want to hurt Wang Xiao at all.

Wang Xiao clenched his fists, he had to rack his brains tonight to think of any solution.

So he stayed up all night.
