Zheng Tan squatted at the door of the house and waited, and he was impatiently scratching at the door when he didn't see anyone. Of course, it wasn't the door of Jiao's house, but the door of Qu Xiangyang's house on the opposite side, scratching the wooden door through the metal grille door.
However, Qu Xiangyang's dead house had been playing games with headphones and didn't hear it. By the time he reacted, his door was already "scarred".
Zheng Tan waited for nearly an hour before seeing Yi Xin sweating over his back.
Yi Xin was busy experimenting when he received the call from Boss Jiao, and Boss Jiao asked him to pick up the cat after he was done. Yi Xin had already had the experience of helping the boss with a cat for the first time, so he also knew that the cat in Boss Jiao's house was not very good-natured. With a second-hand bicycle he just bought, he ran towards the East Family Compound.
When they got to the fifth floor of Jiao's house, Yi Xin was not surprised to see the murderous black cat and the squeaking sound of the cat's paws scratching on the wooden door.
Looking at the wooden door and the look in the eyes of the black cat in front of him, Yi Xin hurriedly explained the reason why he was late, and emphasized that the reason for being late was agreed by Boss Jiao.
Zheng Tan didn't listen to his nonsense, and ran back to the living room to throw out the bag that Jiao Dad had twisted when he took him to the Health Science Building.
Yi Xin wasn't too surprised by Zheng Tan's performance. He was already surprised when he brought a cat for the first time. Following Boss Jiao's instructions, Yi Xin opened the bag.
Zheng Tan jumped in automatically, then stared at Yi Xin and motioned Yi Xin to hurry up with his eyes.
Not being able to speak is inconvenient. In the past, Zheng Tan thought it was okay to be deaf and dumb, but now Zheng Tan feels the same. After all, not everyone in life can relate to you.
Yi Xin didn't understand Zheng Tan's eyes. He just followed Boss Jiao's instructions and ran downstairs with the bag. When he ran downstairs, he suddenly remembered that he could actually let the cat go down by himself.
Yi Xin took Zheng Tan and rode to the Affiliated Hospital of Chuhua University.
Unfortunately, riding a bike can also go wrong.
Before leaving the East Family Compound, Zheng Tan heard a "click", and then the bicycle slowed down.
Hearing Yi Xin's scolding, Zheng Tan, who was squatting on top of the bag in the car basket, looked down and didn't seem to notice anything unusual, but looking back, a broken chain lay on the road.
Zheng Tan: "..." Nima, what a broken car, the chain actually broke!
The commuter bus on campus had to wait for a while, and Zheng Tan couldn't wait for the commuter bus to stop and go. Taxi? Does anyone on campus know when taxis will come in? BORROR car? Who to borrow? If Yi Xin borrowed another car whose chain was broken halfway, Zheng Tan would probably be depressed to death.
Zheng Tan remembered seeing Dad Jiao's electric car in the carport when he went downstairs. After the weather got cold recently, Dad Jiao would occasionally run to the Health Science Building if he had time.
Yi Xin was scratching his ears, not knowing what to do, when he saw the black cat squatting in the basket jumped out of the car and ran back.
"Hey, what are you running for! Wait!" Yi Xin was even more anxious. If the car is gone, you can buy it again. If the cat is gone, he will have no face to see the boss.
So Yi Xin threw the car on the side of the road and chased the cat. Anyway, this car is second-hand, and it is not worth much. Besides, a car with a broken chain is still in broad daylight. Except for the sanitation workers, it is estimated that there is no people to touch.
Zheng Tan rushed home to the family compound, returned to Jiao's house, and found another key of Xiaodian in a small corner of Jiao's dad's desk drawer. When he came out of the building with the key in his mouth, he happened to see Yi Xin, who was out of breath. .
Zheng Tan glanced at Yi Xin, ran to Dad Jiao's small electric car seat, patted the car seat, and put down the key.
Yi Xin: "..." Well, the boss's cat is different.
Small electrics are much more reliable than bicycles, and Yi Xin drives easily. It's good that he doesn't need to pedal by himself. He really doesn't have much energy to pedal the bicycle now.
What makes Zheng Tan unhappy is that the small electric always has a kind of slow feeling, which is not as good as a motorcycle. So at this time, Zheng Tan especially hoped that the Jiao family would have a car of their own.
On the way to the hospital, Zheng Tan kept paying attention to the road. After remembering, he didn't have to rely on others for anything in the future, saving time and trouble.
The Affiliated Hospital of Chuhua University is not located in Chuhua University, it is about two stops away from the campus. The hospital integrates medical treatment, teaching and scientific research. It is a tertiary first-class hospital.
There are always many people in the hospital. Yi Xin parked the car and twisted the bag in according to the detailed address given by Boss Jiao. After all, the hospital is not a place where cats can walk around freely, and Zheng Tan can't swagger in.
When taking the elevator, he happened to bump into Dad Jiao who came down to buy a lunch box. Zheng Tan saw that Dad Jiao's face was fine, and when he talked to Yi Xin, he didn't have the hoarseness and depression he had on the phone before. It seems that Jiao Ma should not have much problem.
Jiao Dad bought a five-point lunch box, one for Yi Xin.
Yi Xin was also going to buy some fruit and the like, but when he touched his trousers pocket, he didn't bring any money. At that time, I was in a hurry, I didn't wear a coat, and I put my wallet inside my coat. Now there is only one meal card in the trouser pocket.
"Well, can the fruit shop accept the meal card?" Yi Xin was very embarrassed.
Jiao Dad and Zheng Tan: "..."
"Another day, anyway, she can't eat today, she hasn't woken up yet." Jiao Dad said.
As he walked towards the elevator, Jiao Dad explained what happened today.
Although Jiao Ma teaches in junior high school, she sometimes goes to Chuhua Affiliated High School. She plans to transfer to high school to teach in the future. There are many acquaintances on both sides, and Jiao Ma's ability is enough to teach high school. The two children in the family have never been to the high school, but if there is no class, they will still go to the high school to take a look, help with the get out of class, and become an intern high school teacher.
Chuhua Affiliated High School is a key middle school in the province, but it is a little far from the city center and close to the Third Ring Road. There is a shuttle bus from Chuhua University every day from the university campus, past the junior high school, and then to the attached high school. Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the junior high school today, when turning a corner, a pickup truck with a glass door hit it directly. The driver of the pickup truck was not fully awake from the hangover when he was driving. As for now, he is still in the operating room, not out of danger.
Many people in the school bus were injured, six were seriously injured and two were still being rescued.
Jiao's mother was relatively lucky. When she was first brought to the hospital, she was covered in blood, and that was what Jiao's father saw when he rushed over. Jiao's mother was stabbed by glass fragments in many places, and three of them were still a little deep. The wound on her leg was deep, and bone was visible, but no bone was injured. Of the six seriously injured, Jiao's mother was already very lucky.
After the operation, all the glass fragments were taken out, and there were no fractures, but they still needed to be hospitalized for a few days.
When Dad Jiao received Zheng Tan's call, it wasn't long after Mom's surgery, but Dad Jiao hadn't calmed down yet, and was still immersed in the scene he saw when he came to the hospital, that's why he had such a tone of voice, but Now he has returned to his usual calm.
As for Jiao Yuan and the others, it was Jiao's father who asked Sister Ling to take people over, in order to be able to look at the child one last time in case the situation was negative.
Relatively speaking, Jiao's mother's condition was not serious, so she was directly sent to the general ward after the operation, and the intensive care unit was already full. In fact, the so-called "ordinary ward" is not strictly "ordinary". The hospital has other benefits for the school's faculty and staff. One floor is specially prepared for the faculty and staff of Chuhua University. This is where Jiao's mother lives now. Class ward.
Compared with other wards, the difference here is that the four-bed ward is divided into small rooms. Although you can hear the next door as long as you speak a little loudly, it is better than crowding together. Whether there is a cubicle next door depends on the family's choice. Generally, someone like Jiao Ma who has just undergone surgery will be on the side with the cubicle.
Each compartment is very small, less than ten square meters, and a few people will be crowded when they enter.
Ma Jiao, who was lying inside, hasn't woken up yet, but knowing that her life is safe, the Jiao family's hearts have been put down.
Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi were sitting on the bench in the corridor outside the large ward. Gu Youzi's eyes were still red and swollen from crying. Jiao Yuan was not much better.
After Yi Xin came over for a while, Jiao Dad sent him away. After all, Yi Xin had a lot of things to do.
"Not enough people!" Jiao Dad sighed, then paused and said, "We will recruit a few more graduate students next year."
I don't know how Yi Xin would feel after hearing it.
Zheng Tan was staying in the small cubicle ward where Jiao's mother was. It was not easy to be seen outside. A nurse came to change the dressing to check the patient's condition. Zheng Tan hid in Jiao Yuan's backpack. As for the books in Jiao Yuan's backpack, they were all thrown into a plastic bag.
I didn't tell the old people living in my hometown about Jiao's mother. The old people on both sides were old, and they were tired of tossing back and forth.
Zheng Tan and the two children stayed here for the first time. Dad Jiao went home, brought some clothes and supplies, and also moved the small wooden table with the Chinese chess pattern over. Children can also use it for homework.
Dad Jiao has been staying here at night for the past few days. There is a folding reclining chair in the cubicle for the escorts to rest.
On this day, the two children of Jiao's family did not go to class, and stayed here with Jiao's father. Jiao's mother woke up in the afternoon, talked for a while, and fell asleep again. Although the complexion was still so pale, at least the three of them and the cat were all at ease.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiao's father went to buy a lunch box again, and after eating, he let the two children take the bus home before it was dark.
Originally, Dad Jiao was going to let the two children live at Aunt Ling’s house or the house of a few well-connected teachers, but the two children firmly objected, saying that they could take care of themselves, and if they couldn’t sleep well outside, they should go home.
Dad Jiao looked at Zheng Tan, whose head was sticking out of Jiao Yuan's backpack, and said, "Hei Tan, watch it when you're at home."
"Ow." Zheng Tan responded. Even if he doesn't say that he will take care of the two children, after all, he is also a big brother.
