A widower's entertainment

Hunan Province, People's Hospital.

Lin Youcheng took Jiang Xiulian, Lin Zhaoman and Lin Zhaohuan to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital.

Zhao Gensheng naturally told Jiang Xiulian about the surgery fee. Jiang Xiulian's eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Lin Youcheng. She really couldn't imagine that without Lin Youcheng, they would really have to pay this unimaginable amount. Know what to do.

Jiang Xiulian naturally knew very well what more than nine hundred yuan meant to her and Zhao Gensheng. It meant the life of her child.

"Uncle——"

When Lin Youcheng saw Jiang Xiulian's red eyes and seemed about to cry, and then looked at Zhao Gensheng's expression, he guessed that Zhao Gensheng had told Jiang Xiulian about the surgery fee, so he quickly interrupted and said, "What if you two still treat me as your uncle?" , just don’t say those words to me again.”

With that said, Lin Youcheng didn't say anything more. He walked directly to the hospital bed, looked at Zhao Wenjie who was playing with Lin Zhaohuan and Lin Zhaoman, and said, "Wenjie, tell your uncle what you want to eat, and he will go and give it to you." you buy it."

Before Zhao Wenjie could say anything, Lin Zhaoman immediately said: "Dad, I want to eat canned fruit."

"Canned Fruit!"

Lin Zhaohuan didn't care what he could eat and just followed his brother about canned fruits.

Zhao Wenjie, who was sitting on the hospital bed, blinked and looked at Lin Youcheng, as if he also wanted to eat canned fruit.

Lin Youcheng looked at Zhao Wenjie's little eyes and couldn't help but smile. He touched Lin Zhaoman's head and said, "Okay, I'll buy you canned fruit."

"You and your sister are playing with Wenjie here."

Lin Zhaoman nodded obediently.

When Jiang Xiulian saw that Lin Youcheng really had to buy canned fruit for her children, she wanted to say no, but Zhao Gensheng stopped her and signaled that she didn't need to say more.

Zhao Gensheng already knew that his uncle had good conditions, otherwise he would not be able to pay more than 900 yuan for the surgery directly.

Naturally, there were not only Zhao Wenjie in the ward, but also other patients. Naturally, they also knew that Zhao Gensheng's family came from Yun Province to see the doctor, and the person who had been helping him was his uncle. He couldn't help but said with envy: "What an uncle you are. It’s really good.”

Zhao Gensheng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes."

No one knows better than him what will happen to his child Zhao Wenjie's illness without the help of his uncle Lin Youcheng. Now he can only secretly think about repaying his uncle in the future.

Although Zhao Wenjie's illness had not yet produced intracranial hypertension, the hospital arranged surgery for Zhao Wenjie as soon as possible, and the surgeon was Dr. Zhang Ren.

Outside the operating room, after an uneasy wait, the operation was finally over.

When Dr. Zhang Ren came out of the operating room, he said, "The operation went well."

Hearing Dr. Zhang Ren's words, Zhao Gensheng's hanging heart finally fell.

Lin Youcheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although hydrocephalus surgery has been developed for many years, it is the 1980s after all, and the equipment and technology cannot be compared with the future. No one knows how the surgery will be. Know.

Now hearing the chief surgeon Zhang Ren say that the operation went smoothly, it undoubtedly made Lin Youcheng feel relieved.

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor! Thank you so much, doctor!"

Zhao Gensheng was very excited and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Dr. Zhang Ren on the spot, but Dr. Zhang Ren stopped Zhao Gensheng from kneeling down and said, "We need to continue to observe for a while."

Zhao Gensheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Lin Youcheng naturally also thanked Dr. Zhang Ren.

The operation ended successfully, and to Lin Youcheng's surprise, Zhang Jiefang from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Writers Association came to visit.

Obviously, Zhang Jiefang also remembered that Lin Youcheng asked him about the brain doctor at the Xiang Provincial People's Hospital. Knowing that Lin Youcheng had a relative who was hospitalized, he now took the time to visit.

But after all, Lin Youcheng was not sick and hospitalized, so naturally he just came over for a visit.

Lin Youcheng naturally thanked Zhang Jiefang for his recommendation.

"Thank you so much, Jiefang. If it weren't for you, why wouldn't I know which doctor to find?"

Zhang Jiefang said with a smile: "I just happened to know it. I can tell you that you must make time to participate in the activities of the Writers Association in the future. Your "Love Letter" is now being discussed in the Writers Association."

Lin Youcheng smiled, nodded and said, "Definitely."

Zhang Jiefang did not stay in the hospital for long, and left first after the visit.

However, Zhang Jiefang's visit made it obvious that some patients and nurses in the hospital also knew that Lin Youcheng, the author of "Love Letter" and "The Devotion of Suspect X", was in the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital.

This immediately shocked many people in the hospital.

Now that "Love Letter" is so popular, there are naturally some doctors, nurses, and patients in the hospital who love literature and reading novels. Naturally, they all come to see Lin Youcheng one by one. Everyone came over to chat with Lin Youcheng about "Love Letter", "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and they were very enthusiastic.

Even Dr. Zhang Ren was surprised when he learned Lin Youcheng's identity. He said with a surprised look on his face: "I have read the novel you wrote, and it is very good. I like your novel very much, and I like you very much." The article "The Devotion of Suspect X"."

"Thank you."

Lin Youcheng really didn't expect that Dr. Zhang Ren had read the novel he wrote, and he was very surprised.

Dr. Zhang Ren smiled and said: "'Love Letter' is also very touching, but I prefer 'The Devotion of Suspect X'."

In response, Lin Youcheng naturally smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Youcheng didn't feel anything bad about being recognized in the hospital. Instead, he thought it might be a good thing. After all, the hospital might be more attentive to his grandnephew Zhao Wenjie.

Zhao Wenjie's surgery is now going well, and he will be hospitalized soon. I believe that if everything goes well, Zhao Wenjie will be discharged from the hospital soon.

"Gensheng, what are your plans after Wenjie recovers and is discharged from hospital?"

Lin Youcheng looked at Zhao Gensheng and asked, "Have you ever thought about staying in the city?"

In fact, Lin Youcheng thinks that Zhao Gensheng may have better opportunities if he stays in the city. Although he may not have an employer now, there may be a wave of layoffs in a few years, and there will be no iron rice bowl by then, and some people will. Started doing business overseas.

Now that we are reforming and opening up, policies will become more and more relaxed in the future. It is naturally much better to stay in the city than to go back to the countryside.

"Of course I want to stay in the city, but it's not that easy. Actually, uncle, you don't know, at the beginning I was thinking about you and my aunt in Decheng, so I wanted to take the exam for a school here. The first one I applied for was the No. 1 school in Hunan Province. Normal school, but it’s a pity that I didn’t pass the exam.”

Because the child's surgery went smoothly, Zhao Gensheng's stooped waist, which had been bent by life, straightened up a little. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to mention to Lin Youcheng that he had applied for the first normal school in Hunan Province in the college entrance examination.

Lin Youcheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Gensheng had applied for the First Normal University of Hunan Province again. He asked again: "Why didn't you think about repeating the exam after failing the exam and take the exam again for another year?"

Zhao Gensheng twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Maybe I just don't have the destiny to study. Everyone with worse grades than me has passed the exam, so how can I have the nerve to continue studying for another year? After all, it's not easy at home. "

Hearing Zhao Gensheng's slightly bitter words, Lin Youcheng could understand that if the family conditions were not good, it would be difficult to repeat another year of study. After all, the burden on the family would increase again.

Lin Youcheng just patted Zhao Gensheng on the shoulder, and didn't particularly care about what Zhao Gensheng said. Those who had worse grades than me had passed the exam. After all, anyone who heard such a sentence wouldn't have many other ideas. Maybe not. I just felt sorry for Zhao Gensheng and felt that he was unlucky.

That is, when Lin Youcheng and Zhao Gensheng were chatting, a female patient knocked on the door of the ward, walked in with a stack of manuscripts, looked at Lin Youcheng, and said excitedly: "Comrade Lin Youcheng, I especially like your "Love Letter"."

"Thank you."

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He could only express his gratitude to the people for their love.

"Did you know? I have written you a letter. I also really like writing. Your story about two people with the same name is so unexpected. After reading your novel "Love Letter", I even changed it for myself. I also changed my pen name to Yang Shu, and I submitted articles to magazines, but unfortunately they were never published. Can you take a look at the articles I wrote?"

For such enthusiastic people, Lin Youcheng could not refuse directly. He had no choice but to have people come directly to his door. Lin Youcheng could only take the manuscript from this literature lover and help him read it.

Change pen name?

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought that the man in front of him said he wanted to change his pen name, and actually changed his pen name.

Wait, change your pen name?

But at this moment, for some reason, Lin Youcheng's words suddenly flashed in Lin Youcheng's mind. Those who had worse grades than him were all admitted. His heart skipped a beat, and a somewhat absurd thought flashed across his mind. .

He didn't know why he thought of those three words——

change name!

Lin Youcheng felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous. Although he had heard of such things before, and there were more than one, but——

Probably not.

Lin Youcheng turned to look at Zhao Gensheng and asked casually, "Gensheng, where did that classmate with worse grades than you get?"

Although Zhao Gensheng was surprised why Lin Youcheng asked this, he didn't think much about it. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I asked, but I don't seem to know where he took the exam."

I don’t even know where he took the exam?

Lin Youcheng frowned slightly. The absurd idea made him feel more and more absurd and impossible. But the absurd idea just popped up in his mind and began to grow, and then he couldn't help but think about it. This terrible possibility.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Lin Youcheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Gensheng's young but aged and thin face, his lips moved slightly, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

nothing--

Maybe he was overthinking it, but maybe, maybe—

It's not a possibility, it's a ridiculous and terrible reality.
