maternity hospital

"Cong Hai was not like this before, he is a very down-to-earth person."

Now that the words have been spoken, Jiang Jing confides all the grievances in his heart to Zheng Zhiqing. "You've never seen Cong Hai. He's about the same size as you, about half the width of yours. He's full of vigor, and he's especially able to endure hardships."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing turned on his phone and pulled out Zhang Conghai's photo.Zheng Zhiqing took it over and took a look. The strong man with big shoulders and round waist really deserves half of him.

"Cong Hai and I do not live in the same village. Their village is poor and they have been fishermen for generations. A few years ago, the ecological environment was severely damaged. When a fishing ban came down, fishing boats had to go to the far sea to work. Cong Hai's father had a bad waist and couldn't get out. In Yuanhai, I sold the boat to do some dry goods business, but I couldn’t make much money. Cong Hai grew up on the boat and was good at water. My dad was in the water transportation business, so I hired him to run the boat with me. I will go to university in Shanghai, and I met Cong Hai when I went to sea with my dad and others after vacation. I have been in love with him for three years, but my dad always disagrees."

Jiang Jing sighed: "My father said that I was born as a college student in the family for generations, and hoped that I would leave the village and go to a big city to develop, not to mention how much money I made, so I could have face with my relatives and friends... He found a friend to take care of me. I arranged to work in Sinotrans Group. For this reason, Cong Hai quit his job on the ship and went to Shanghai to meet me. But he is too honest, with a stupid mouth and low education, so he can only do manual work... One day he went to work to find me for lunch, I was mistaken by my colleagues as someone from the moving company, and I had to use them for two hours just to move the office... He took the 200 yuan from my colleague and smiled and said to invite me to drink Starbucks, but I really threw the money at my colleague There is a heart on the face!"

Seeing that he was agitated, Zheng Zhiqing quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him, letting him calm down.

"Later, I gritted my teeth and quit my job, and went back to my hometown with Cong Hai. At that time, the village committee of their village was engaged in breeding training. I discussed with Cong Hai and used all our savings to build [-] acres of sea land to raise scallops. " Jiang Jing's eyes were full of melancholy, "My dad heard that after I resigned, he chased Cong Hai's house and beat Cong Hai with a stalk with thick arms. He didn't hide, so he just stood there and let my dad beat him. My whole body was injured... When my dad was tired from beating, he knelt down to my dad and begged him not to take me away... At that time, I thought, I will be with him for the rest of my life, no matter how hard it is, I will never leave. Dad was angry, and he said that he had never given birth to me and left. Seven years, Mr. Zheng, I have never seen my dad again..."

Zheng Zhiqing thought of He Quan's parents—every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is really difficult to get the blessings of the elders if they are not in the right household.

Hearing the baby crying, Jiang Jing put down the cup, got up and got out of bed, picked up the little guy, took the bottle from the bottle warmer and fed him, and continued to say to Zheng Zhiqing: "Cong Hai has strength, and he can do things by himself to save money. I don’t hire people, so I’m so tired that it’s hard to turn over in bed every day. Planting a sea field is more difficult than a dry field. After soaking in the sea and then being exposed to the sun, the sunburned blisters burst and then are killed by the sea. That’s the feeling... don’t care how hard it is I have never regretted it, so I just worked hard... [-] mu, [-] mu. By the year before last, we had contracted all the breeding sea areas outside the village. In addition to scallops, we also raised oysters, abalones and scallops. The red tide last year The seafood in Donggang is completely wiped out, but our family is far away, so the price of all seafood has doubled. To tell you the truth, before Conghai gambled, our family was not the richest man in Donggang It can also be ranked in the top five.”

"It's hard to live such a good life, why do you want to gamble?" Zheng Zhiqing asked.

"Blame me, he didn't stop him when he first started gambling." Jiang Jing shook his head, "Cong Hai usually has no other hobbies, but likes to drink wine. This man, once he has money, he will gather all kinds of things around him. Yes For a while, he got very close with a few Nanyang people. In the name of opening up the market, those people spent Cong Hai’s money to take him around the world. I support him to open his eyes. If you have money, you have to learn how to Make more money. I'm just pregnant, so it's inconvenient to follow him around, but I'm very relieved of him, knowing that he won't go out to spend time and drink. I didn't expect these people to take him to the casino. I woke up in the morning Now, I received 100 card swiping information in text messages. I thought the account had been stolen, so I called the bank to freeze the card. I rushed to the bank to get a statement, and found out that the card was swiped in a fucking casino. I called Cong Hai and told him that if he didn’t come back, he would beat the child immediately and get a divorce! He came back and begged me, confessed his mistake, and said that he was too drunk and had fun, and he didn’t stop for a while... I think he lost It won't hurt his muscles and bones after spending a million yuan, and it will be over if he is scolded, and he will not be allowed to go to Macau... I don't know, how can he go out to eat a bowl of noodles without a problem? Be willing to add fuel, become a person who loses [-] million overnight and doesn't feel bad!"

"I have never been to Macau, but I have been to Las Vegas." Zheng Zhiqing continued, "In many casinos in Las Vegas, as soon as you enter the door, there is a big screen with casinos constantly scrolling. The income balance. After a short period of time, the amount will suddenly decrease by tens, hundreds or even tens of millions, which means that the money has been won by the customer. That is to say, a millionaire can be born in a few minutes. And it’s counted in dollars. Not to mention the bursts of cheers erupting from time to time around the slot machines, dice tables, and gambling tables in the lobby, that kind of atmosphere, Mr. Jiang, is easy for people to fall into.”

Jiang Jing frowned: "Not everyone will fall into it, right?"

"Yes, that's right, but what I think is that Cong Hai probably thinks that the money he has worked so hard for so many years can be earned by others in a few minutes at the poker table... That kind of gap is huge, can you understand? ?”

Jiang Jing nodded, put the sleeping baby back into the crib, and raised the corners of his mouth bitterly: "I thought Cong Hai would stop gambling, but who knew he would go to partner with someone to be an underground banker...he I was calculated, and I lost more than 2000 million in one breath. It was time to invest in seedlings, but I couldn’t afford the money to buy oyster seedlings and shellfish seedlings. I would be hospitalized because of high blood pressure, which made him angry. I thought that the child would be born. Take it back and show it to my dad, but now... I really have no face to go back."

Now Zheng Zhiqing fully understands the reason for Jiang Jing's picky character - he is afraid that people will think that he has a bad life, and he is afraid that his father will say that he has made a wrong choice, so he always puts on a "I It’s the money” attitude.

It is human nature and vanity is at the root of it, but in the end we still have to face the reality.

Having said that, Zheng Zhiqing did not intend to be aggressive. More than 3 is a difficult task for Jiang Jing now, but he has a lot of tenacity, and he will definitely not sink just like that.

"How about this, when you should be discharged from the hospital, you will be discharged normally, and the child's birth certificate will be kept in the hospital first, and then taken away when the payment is made up, what do you think?"

"No, Mr. Zheng, if there is no Dazheng, the lives of my child and I will be gone. This money cannot be owed." Jiang Jing took the phone, bit his lips, and finally made up his mind to dial a number, "Hey, brother, it's me ...Excuse me, can you lend me some money? I'm in the hospital... No no no, don't tell Dad, he—"

"Why didn't you tell me that I became a grandfather?"

A thick voice came from the door.Zheng Zhiqing turned her head and saw a dark-skinned, stocky man of about 60 years old walking into the ward.Jiang Jing froze in place, and it took him a long time to call out "Dad" with his lips trembling.

"Hello, Uncle, I am the special manager of this hospital. My surname is Zheng." Zheng Zhiqing got up to greet the other party, and then he noticed that there was still a person huddled at the door—Cong Hai's tall and strong body was bowed like a boiled chicken. Shrimp, with scars on the corners of his mouth and cheekbones, with a look of self-blame.

Uncle Jiang and Zheng Zhiqing shook hands, turned around and shouted at Cong Hai who was huddled at the door: "Come here, little bastard!"

Cong Hai lowered his head and shrank his back into the room, standing still more than three meters away from Jiang Jing.He didn't dare to look up, and kept looking at his shoes, his body shaking slightly.Jiang Jing saw the injury on his face, and turned his head with tangled eyes.

"Well, Mr. Zheng, how much do we owe the hospital?" Uncle Jiang asked Zheng Zhiqing.

"This is a reminder note, thirty-six thousand one hundred and fifty two." Zheng Zhiqing handed over the reminder note, "Don't rush to pay, I just made an agreement with Jiang Jing."

"My Jiang Xiao's grandson, they can't afford it, so I will!" The old man took out a card from his pocket and threw it to Cong Hai, and said sharply, "There is 320 million here, after paying the hospitalization fee, the rest is used to pay off the debt! I’m going to say this in front of Boss Zheng today, if you dare to bet, I’ll throw your mother, you little bastard, into the high seas to feed the sharks!”

Cong Hai held the card given by his father-in-law, his face was flushed black, his neck was slightly stretched with blue veins, and he suddenly burst into a painful voice: "Dad! I'm sorry for Jiang Jing! I'm sorry for you! I promise I won't gamble again, I Make good money, make real money, and Jiang Jing and his children will surely live a good life!"

"Stop fucking nonsense, if it's not because your mother is so old and begging me, I will care about your life!" Jiang Xiao has been sailing for many years. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still strong and strong. Cong Hai, a tall man, pushed out the door, "I will pick up Jiang Jing and the child after they are discharged from the hospital. Didn't you lose 2000 million? Let me tell you, if you don't earn the next 2000 million, you don't even want to see your wife and children!"

"Dad—" Jiang Jing stepped forward to hold his father's hand, and because of his hurried steps touched the laparotomy wound, he immediately frowned and pressed the wound to breathe.

Seeing his son like this, Jiang Xiao's eyes froze with distress, but he still blamed him when he opened his mouth: "Why did I tell you at the beginning? After following him, you have to suffer! How is it now? Ah? If you want to ruin your family, you will die." Will you give me a call to admit your mistake!?"

"No... Dad... I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll be angry..." Jiang Jing's tears rolled down her face, "I'm sorry, Dad, I made you worry..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's only been a few days since I gave birth, and I'm crying my eyes out!" Jiang Xiao was angry and distressed, and turned his face to vent his anger on Cong Hai, "Why the fuck are you standing here!? Money go!"

Cong Hai stood at the door, looked at the child and his wife from afar, then turned and walked to the elevator.It was inconvenient for Zheng Zhiqing to stay longer, so he took his leave of the Jiang family and his son and gently closed the door.

Standing in the corridor, Zheng Zhiqing looked in the direction of the office area, and his eyes stayed for a long time on the nameplate of "Three district masters have any right" inlaid on the frosted glass door.

It was almost two o'clock in the morning when He Quan got off the operating table, and there was not a single place on his body that was not sore.After the automatic door of the operating room opened, he saw Zheng Zhiqing sitting in the waiting area, dozing off with an insulated bag in his hand.

"Hey, wake up, why are you sleeping here?" He Quan poked him on the shoulder to wake him up.

Zheng Zhiqing raised her hand to press her eyelids, stood up and held the thermal bag in front of He Quan's eyes: "I thought you might be hungry, so I'll bring you some supper."

"There's nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal." He Quan took the thermos bag with his mouth curled up.

He is really hungry.

"How can this be called being courteous for nothing? Is it wrong to love your wife?" Zheng Zhiqing smiled slightly, "Oh yes, I went to see Mr. Qi, and there is no serious problem. After two days of observation, I can be transferred back to the general ward."

"The disaster will last for thousands of years." He Quan took a few steps forward with his thermos bag in hand, reached out and pressed the elevator, turned to look at Zheng Zhiqing and asked, "Who is your wife? Do you have any certificates to prove it?"

Zheng Zhiqing raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "The Civil Affairs Bureau will open in seven hours, or we will wait at the door before you finish eating, and catch up with the first couple."

"Can you show some face? You proposed? What about the ring? Oh, naked marriage? Let me tell you, Zheng Dabai, don't talk to me about being full of love and drinking water, I am realistic!"

Zheng Zhiqing put her hand in her trouser pocket to her lips and lowered her head to smile, then pushed He Quan back two steps when the elevator door opened.Just as He Quan was about to scream, his lips were suddenly engulfed by the other party, and then something hard was pushed into his mouth by Zheng Zhiqing's tongue.

Pushing Zheng Zhiqing away, He Quan took out what was in his mouth and saw it was a simple and elegant ring.In the light of the elevator, the platinum shank glowed softly.

"I originally wanted to put it in the meal, but I was afraid that you would accidentally eat it." Zheng Zhiqing raised his hand to wrap him between the inner wall of the elevator and his body, bowed close to his face, "Ah Quan, you As I said, there is no one around me but me... But do you know, this ring was ordered before I went abroad."

He looked down at the ring in He Quan's hand.

"Marry me and let me be your Dabai forever."
