Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 97 Help each other!

At about five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo rode his bicycle back to Nanluogu Alley and saw a ragged little boy of about seven or eight years old, holding a bag in his hand and looking for something in front of the trash can with concentration on his face. .

When Wu Aiguo saw the little boy, he immediately stopped his bicycle and asked the boy curiously: "Xiaohu! What are you looking for?"

When the little boy heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he immediately stopped what he was doing and found out. He replied somewhat coyly: "Uncle Patriot! My grandma is sick and the family has no money to buy medicine. I want to make some money by picking up garbage. , buy medicine for grandma."

The little boy's name is Wang Hu, a resident of a courtyard house. His parents were washed away by the flood when he was three years old, leaving her and a newborn younger sister to live with their grandmother.

When Wu Aiguo learned that the little boy's grandma was sick, he showed a shocked expression on his face. He quickly asked the little boy: "Xiaohu! Your grandma is sick. Why didn't you tell the uncle in the hospital?"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's words, Wang Hu replied in a low voice with a humble face: "Uncle Aiguo! I went to see the three uncles, and they came to my house to see grandma. Later, the third uncle gave us three catties of stick noodles and a piece of cake. money."

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Wang Hu, he immediately ordered Wang Hu: "Xiaohu! Get in the car quickly. I will take you back to the hospital and send your grandma to the hospital for treatment."

When Wang Hu heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, he stood there motionless and replied with a troubled expression: "Uncle Patriot! Our family has no money, so we can't send grandma to the hospital."

Hearing Wang Hu's answer, Wu Aiguo understood why Wang Hu stopped, and said to Wang Hu, "Little Hu! Uncle Aiguo will help you pay for your grandma's medical treatment. Come up quickly and let's go back to the hospital together." Here, take your grandma to the hospital."

When Wang Hu heard Wu Aiguo's words, he saw his small black hands and replied coquettishly: "Uncle Patriot! I'm dirty and I'm afraid I'll get your bike dirty. I just ran back to the yard by myself." ”

Wu Aiguo heard Wang Hu's words, and said to Wang Hu with an unhappy face: "Xiaohu! Do you want to cure your grandma's illness quickly, and sit up quickly."

After hearing Wu Aiguo's words and seeing Wu Aiguo's unhappy expression, Wang Hu finally plucked up his courage and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

Wu Aiguo rode his bicycle and drove Wang Hu back to the courtyard. Yan Bugui, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard, saw Wu Aiguo driving Wang Hu back and asked Wu Aiguo in surprise: "Aiguo! How could you do this? Bring Xiaohu back with you.”

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry, he immediately said to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle! Xiaohu's grandma is sick, and it's very serious. You ask Jie Cheng to borrow a truck and come back, and we can send Xiaohu's grandma off together. Go to the hospital."

When Wang Hu asked the three elders in the courtyard for help yesterday, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai went to see Wang Hu's house. Wang Hu's family donated some money, but Yi Zhonghai rejected it on the pretext that the donation needs to be reported to the street office.

Yan Bugui felt pity for Wang Hu's ancestors and grandson, so he finally gritted his teeth and took three kilograms of stick noodles and one dollar from home and sent them to Wang Hu's family. At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai.

Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's confession, and immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! There is a cart in the Zhang family next door. I will borrow it now. You can ask someone to help you carry Xiaohu's grandma out."

Wu Aiguo nodded subconsciously when he heard Yan Bugui's words. He parked his bicycle and led Wang Hu towards the backyard.

"Grandma! What's wrong with you? Wake up!" Wu Aiguo had just walked to the backyard when a little girl cried helplessly from Wang Hu's house.

Hearing Wang Hu's sister crying, Wu Aiguo walked quickly to Wang Hu's house, stretched out his hand and opened the door, and saw Wang Hu's sister, standing in front of the bed, constantly pushing the old man lying motionless on the bed.

Wang Hu, who was following Wu Aiguo, saw the situation in front of him, and dropped the bag in his hand to the ground. He ran into the house quickly, and shouted to the old man, "Grandma! What's wrong with you? You should hurry up!" Let me say it!"

Wu Aiguo followed Wang Hu closely and walked into Wang Hu's home. He put his finger to the old man's nose. After making sure that the old man was still breathing, he reached out and touched the old man's forehead.

The back of Wu Aiguo's hand touched the old man's forehead, and a hot feeling immediately spread to the back of his hand. Wu Aiguo realized that the old man was running a high fever. He ordered: "Xiaohu! You help your grandma, and I will be taken to the hospital by your grandma."

With the help of Wang Hu, Wu Aiguo carried Wang Hu's grandmother on his back and walked quickly outside.

"Aiguo! What's going on here? What happened to Xiaohu's grandma?" Wu Aiguo, carrying Wang Hu's grandma on his back, had just arrived at the Intermediate Court when he met Sha Zhu who had just returned from get off work.

Wu Aiguo heard Sha Zhu's inquiry and replied as he walked: "Brother Zhu Zhu! Grandma Xiaohu has a fever and has fallen into a coma. I will take her to the hospital now."

Silly Zhu is a warm-hearted person. When he heard the news that Grandma Wang Hu had fallen into a coma, he quickly put the lunch box in his hand at the door of the house, and immediately chased after him. He said to Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Xiaohu’s grandma goes to the hospital.”

Sitting at the door of Jia's house, Jia Zhang was thinking about what to cook for dinner. When he saw the two lunch boxes placed by Sha Zhu at the door of Yu Yu's house, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw Sha Zhu moving forward with Wu Aiguo. He walked out of the courtyard, quickly walked to the door of He Yuyu's house, picked up two lunch boxes, turned around and ran back to Jia's house.

With the assistance of Sha Zhu, Wu Aiguo came to the gate of the courtyard with Xiaohu's grandmother on his back, just as Yan Bugui came out of the courtyard next door with a cart.

When Silly Zhu saw Wu Aiguo and put Wang Hu's grandmother on the cart, he immediately pulled the cart and walked quickly toward the entrance of the alley.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Aiguo and the others finally sent him to the hospital. After seeing Wang Hu's grandma being sent to the emergency room by doctors and nurses, Sha Zhu asked Wang Hu, "Xiao Hu! Your grandma's illness is so serious. Seriously, why don’t you go find the elders in the courtyard?”

"Brother Zhuzi! Wang Hu is not to blame for this matter. He visited the elders in the courtyard yesterday. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong just took a look. Only the third uncle sent some stick noodles and a dollar to Xiaohu's family."

Ever since Shazhu learned about Yi Zhonghai cheating his money, he could see the true face of Yi Zhonghai's hypocrisy. Helping each other, he couldn't help sneering: "That hypocrite Yi Zhonghai talks about helping each other every day, that's what he said about helping each other!"

"Which of you is the patient's family member? The patient has a high fever of 38 degrees. Why did you send the patient here so late? This is the patient's payment receipt. You should go and pay the money quickly." Wu Aiguo was about to answer when he heard what Sha Zhu said. At that moment, the nurse came out of the emergency room with a receipt and asked Wu Aiguo and others with an unkind look on his face.
