Chapter 52: .Pay

52. Payment
"My mother died because of a dystocia when I was born. No one would believe it? A famous doctor, his wife died because of Nanchan!" Ling Yunfeng sneered.
"That day, my father was undergoing an operation. The operation lasted for eight hours. My mother was at home alone. Suddenly there was a sign of premature birth. Because there was no one around, it took a long time before my mother was sent to the hospital by a neighbor. Difficult delivery, another time wasted, my mother was almost gone when she was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that the adult or the child, the mother insisted on protecting me..."
"So, you have been blaming your father ever since you know this?" Meng Qingqing asked.
Ling Yunfeng shook his head, "There are many things you don't know. I don't blame him for this. I blame her for marrying a woman like that."
"Did your stepmother treat you badly?"
"Have you heard of a good stepmother?" Ling Yunfeng asked and replied, "Maybe there, but I haven't met."
Meng Qingqing shook her head, "I don’t know. I am just like you. My mother gave birth and I passed away soon, but my father never looked for it. I always think if my father finds someone to take care of him again, Maybe he won't get this disease."
"Who knows! It might be even worse if you find someone who causes trouble all day long."
Neither of them spoke for a while.
"Tell me about your situation. I remember the first time I saw you in my dad's office. You were so dirty."
Meng Qingqing smiled and said, "That day! I just came from my hometown, and it was my first time in this city. Our hometown is very poor and backward, that kind of poverty and backwardness, like you who grew up in a big city. It’s impossible for a child to imagine. I was really dressed in earthy clothes that day. My grandma cut my hair casually."
"But I think your gestures are generous, not at all earthy. It's not like a little country girl who has never seen the world."
"Really?" Meng Qingqing smiled.
"Oh! Tell me about why you are behind there? Aren't there still no electricity?"
"It's not so exaggerated. There is electricity, but the natural conditions are not good. People, livestock, and crops all rely on the sky to drink water. The transportation is not convenient. It is far from the town. Anyway, it is unimaginable for you. Take you there and you will know that there are still people in this world living in such an environment. At that time, you should be thankful that you actually live a very happy life."
"Really? Then I will go to see you with you during the holiday, it's just to experience life."
"Let's talk about it then! I don't know how my father and grandma were doing back then, anyway, there will always be opportunities in the future."
"Your father and grandma will be fine, you have to trust Doctor Ling."
"Doctor Ling is your father, why do you always call him that way?"
"Aren't all the names the same? It's just one name. Foreigners call him by his name! Calling him Doctor Ling is considered a Zunchang." Ling Yunfeng disapproved.
"A foreign country is a foreign country, here is China, so you can only follow the Chinese folk customs and customs. I don't know if you are dissatisfied with your father, but I can see that your father loves you and cares about you, parents in the world, There is no one who doesn't love your children. If you look at me, you know that you should cherish your relationship with your father."
Ling Yunfeng stared at Meng Qingqing, "This kind of old-fashioned preaching is really not like what a child like you said."
Meng Qingqing was startled, "Are you old-fashioned? Although I am young, I have experienced vicissitudes of life, so my mentality is older than my actual age!"
When the two spoke, time passed without knowing it.
The door of the operating room opened. The doctor pushed a stretcher out. Meng Qingqing and Ling Yunfeng ran over. It was grandma. She was still sleeping, her face pale and scary.
"Doctor, is my grandma all right?" Meng Qingqing's voice trembled.
"It's okay. The operation went well. Her anesthetic has not yet passed. She will wake up in two hours. Now we have to push her to the intensive care unit and observe it for a week before she can come out."
"Where is my dad? Is my dad's surgery done?"
"He may not be able to come out in an hour, don't worry! All goes well."
The doctor said, pushing the stretcher to go.
Meng Qingqing and Ling Yunfeng followed, and when they reached the door of the intensive care unit, the doctor refused to let them in.
Ling Yunfeng explained,
The intensive care unit is sterile. For fear of being brought into bacteria, most people can’t go in casually. You see these doctors and nurses have to sterilize every time they go in and put on sterile foot covers.

Ling Yunfeng said: "Now that you know that your father and grandma's operations are going well, and you won't be an orphan, I'm relieved. The successful kidney transplant can live for up to 20 years! Your father will continue to do so. Stay with you. Okay, I have to go back to school as soon as possible for the afternoon class."
"Okay! It's okay now, you hurry back to class."
Ling Yunfeng ran away in a hurry.
Unable to go in to see grandma, Meng Qingqing ran to the door of the operating room and waited for her father to come out.
An hour later, Dad also came out, like grandma, he was still asleep before the anesthetic had been taken.
Dr. Ling said, "Meng Qingqing, you can rest assured that the operation was very successful."
Meng Qingqing looked at Doctor Ling's tired and relieved face, and felt very ashamed to remember that he had guessed him like that yesterday.
"Doctor Ling, thank you!" Thousands of words were in this sentence.
"Your father and grandma will be observed in the intensive care unit for a week. During this week, family members do not need to be accompanied, they will be accompanied by special care. They cannot eat. Family members can only go in for a few minutes every day."
"Though the operation went smoothly, this week is still very dangerous."
"Yes! The week after the operation is very important. Whether it will be rejected depends on this week. After this week, it will be much more stable."
Meng Qingqing followed the two doctors and pushed her father to the intensive care unit. At the door, the doctor would not let Meng Qingqing in.
At the door, I saw my father being pushed inside, plugged in various instrument tubes.
A doctor came out, "Who are the family members of Meng Zijun's mother and son?"
Meng Qingqing quickly said: "I am Meng Zijun's daughter. How are my father and grandma?"
The doctor looked at Meng Qingqing, "How about your adults? Why are you the only child here?"
"We only have a family of three. Dad and grandma are lying in it, and I can decide everything."
The doctor shook his head and said nothing. In the hospital, there are all kinds of situations and all kinds of people.
"It’s good to be able to make the decision. You sign on this and then pay the fee. Observing in this intensive care unit for a week, the cost per person is at least 10,000 yuan, and two people have to pay 20,000 yuan.
