Midsummer Lemon Ice

Lin Qiao rushed to the hospital with two lunch boxes, and called Jiang Xiaolu at the number Xu Ou gave him in front of the guard post. He learned that the emergency room was on the sixth floor of the emergency building, so he trotted upstairs.

No matter where the hospital is filled with the same smell of disinfectant, Lin Qiao once again recalled the fear of being ravaged by doctors and nurses not long ago, but this is an emergency building, and young parents holding their children can be seen everywhere. Young people and gray-haired old people, everyone seemed to be more anxious than usual in the department, and their blood pressure was also high, and they felt a little suffocated even when they were breathing.

When the elevator came down, two doctors in white coats hurriedly pushed the emergency bed in, followed by the sobbing family members, occupying the originally spacious elevator.Several people who were waiting for the elevator came out to make room for them. Before the elevator closed, Lin Qiao saw that there was still an empty seat, so he quickly squeezed in, and huddled in a small corner to wait for the elevator to stop.

It just so happened that this group of people also went to the sixth floor. As soon as the elevator opened, there was a nurse waiting at the door. After receiving the ambulance, they trotted all the way, and finally disappeared in the corridor.Lin Qiao waited until the people were empty before leaving the elevator, looked up at the sign, and then walked to the other end of the corridor.

There was still a red light for first aid hanging at the door of the operating room. An aunt wearing a red-orange shirt was sitting on a bench wiping tears. Beside her was a middle-aged man with an anxious face. He was about a head taller than the woman, with neck There is a Jade Buddha on the top, and tigers are tattooed on the left and right arms, which looks very mighty and domineering.

Lin Qiao didn't see Jiang Xiaolu, stood at the door hesitantly, exited to confirm that this was the place, then went in again, and said to the woman, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Xu Ou's friend, come and see Uncle."

Mother Jiang raised her head to look at him when she heard the words, as if she had worked hard but still couldn't remember: "Xu Ou's friend?"

Lin Qiao had no choice but to say with a guilty conscience: "It's the one who has been living in Brother Xu's house, you should know me."

"Ah, I know, it's Xiao Lin, right?" Mother Jiang clapped her hands suddenly, "Xiao Lu told us about you."

"Brother Xu is still in the northwest. He is already asking for leave. It will take some time to go through the process. I will help him." Lin Qiao put the plastic bag on the stool, took out a plastic lunch box and handed it to Mother Jiang, " I heard from Brother Xu that you and Sister Xiaolu haven’t eaten yet, and there’s a fast food restaurant at the entrance of the community that does a good job, I ordered some and it’s still hot, why don’t you eat some first.”

"Thank you, I'm interested." Mother Jiang sighed, took the lunch box from him, but obviously couldn't eat, she just picked a few vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth, and clear tears flowed from her eyes again came out, soaking her light-colored trousers.

Lin Qiao remembered the accident that Xu Ou had hurriedly described to him on the phone. Jiang's father was knocked down on the way from get off work.He is a senior engineer at a local machinery factory. The company allocated a flat many years ago, because many employees of the same company were allocated to the same community, and the company specially hired a shuttle bus to take them to and from work, stopping at a distance from the factory on time every day. In an open space about 200 meters from the gate, it takes only 2 minutes to walk.Today, a colleague happened to be late due to something, and the shuttle bus was 10 minutes slower than before. Father Jiang wanted to cross the road to a supermarket not far away to buy a pack of cigarettes. Noticed a car crashed straight into it!

The person is still in the emergency room, and it has been more than two hours since he was sent to the emergency room. I am afraid that even if he is revived, the situation is not optimistic.Lin Qiao could understand Mother Jiang's current mental state, and said softly, "Auntie, Uncle is definitely fine. If this dish doesn't suit your appetite, I'll order it again. You can eat more."

The man who had been silent all this time suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Mother Jiang with a plop!

"Auntie, I'm sorry for Uncle, and I'm sorry for you too!" His voice was full of self-blame, his throat seemed to have been sandpapered, making people feel that he was going to cry in the next second, "Whether Uncle is now No matter what, I will take care of him for the rest of his life. Even if he is a cow and a horse, I will take care of uncle and you to the end! Don't cry, eat something first, seeing this little brother is in a hurry, I feel so worried Hurry up!"

Lin Qiao finally understood that this man was most likely the driver who hit someone, no wonder he was sitting here.Mother Jiang didn't speak, and went to pick up another vegetable with her trembling hand. It was enough to say it once. Lin Qiao knew that persuading him was useless, so he could only help the man up first, and then asked Mother Jiang: "Auntie, what can I do?" Why haven't you seen Miss Xiaolu? I'll deliver it to her while the meal is still hot."

"Xiaolu went to the traffic police team to ask for a statement of responsibility, and he will be here in a while. Xiaolin, you can stay here with me."

"it is good."

Lin Qiao agreed, turned around and sat beside her.When he sat down, he caught a glimpse of the man's expression from the corner of his eye, which seemed to be a bit harsh, but he didn't figure out what it meant. He just wanted to calm down Mother Jiang's mood first. This might be the only thing he could do at this stage.

In the afternoon, Xu Ou called in a hurry. On the way to wait for Shan to deliver it, he confused the leftover meat paste and ate it for dinner, then hurried out the door, and only had time to explain a few words to Ash.The sweet evening time between the two suddenly disappeared, and Lin Qiao felt very sorry. Fortunately, ASH not only ignored his missed appointments, but also patiently kept caring about the situation of the hospital on WeChat, which made Lin Qiao feel very warm in his heart.

He briefly told ASH what he saw in the hospital, and made a little complaint about the big brother next to him who looked like a jerk, maybe he could knock down three of them with one punch. ASH asked him to protect himself first, and try not to conflict with men. Lin Qiao agreed, and chatted with him for 15 minutes without knowing it.

Before Jiang Xiaolu came, the man seemed a little restless, and suddenly his cell phone rang. Lin Qiao watched him pick up the phone, and then hung up the phone after agreeing a few words, then turned to the two of them and said: " Auntie, little brother, my daughter’s cram school is over, my wife is on night shift, the teacher called just now, I have to pick up the child.”

His expression was quite sincere, he took out two stacks of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Mother Jiang's hands: "I have already handed in the deposit, this is the 2 yuan I took on the way, if you need money tonight Just take it and use it, I will come to see Uncle at 06:30 tomorrow morning, do you think it will work?"

"This……"

Lin Qiao felt that this old man was quite sincere and seemed reliable, but he knew that he would not leave, so he looked at Mother Jiang first, and seeing that she was silent, he said in a low voice, "Auntie, do you want to talk to Sister Xiaolu?" Say?"

"No need." Mother Jiang took the money and said to the man, "Let's go."

"Okay, Auntie, I'm leaving first. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow. I'll leave a phone number for you. Call me if you need anything."

"Row."

Lin Qiao watched the man enter his number on Mother Jiang's mobile phone, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and watched his burly figure disappear into the corridor.Unexpectedly, less than ten seconds later, he suddenly heard Jiang Xiaolu's sharp voice that made his heart tremble so familiarly: "You come back, who told you to go?!"

"Come back! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and it didn't take long to see Jiang Xiaolu and the man walking towards them. Jiang Xiaolu couldn't hide his anger, and the man followed her disheveledly, with vague hatred mixed in his expression, which made Lin Qiao For a moment, I wondered if I was wrong.

Jiang Xiaolu pointed to the stool to let him sit down, and said in a stern tone, "You stay here for me, you are not allowed to go anywhere until my father comes out."

The man changed his expression, and said to her: "Little girl, you are being unreasonable. The traffic police team has not come out with the results yet. Why did you commit a crime like me? I said that I will take responsibility for my dad to the end, kid I really need someone to pick me up, I have to go now."

Jiang Xiaolu raised his eyebrows and refused to budge an inch, saying, "Give me the address of your daughter's cram school, and I'll ask my younger brother to take a taxi to pick it up for you, and I promise to send your daughter home safely. Qiao Qiao will come over and pick you up." Videotape this big brother the whole time, so that big brother can stay here with peace of mind."

Lin Qiao watched the man's expression become more and more colorful, and finally he seemed to have no choice, he gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Xiaolu, "Don't bother this little brother, I'll call my brother-in-law to pick it up. I'll give him a call. "

After speaking, the man walked into the bathroom not far away, which happened to be within their field of vision, so Jiang Xiaolu didn't let Lin Qiao go over to look at him, but turned to face the two of them, with a look of hatred : "Mom, didn't I tell you to watch him in prison, why did you let him go?"

"I see he said something urgent..."

"What's the matter with him!" Jiang Xiaolu said angrily, "I just went to the traffic police to check. The insurance of his car just expired yesterday, and he hasn't bought a new one yet. You haven't seen the insurance company and no one came. There is no insurance! If something goes wrong with my dad, he will have to pay for it, you let him go now, what should we do if we can’t find anyone tomorrow?!"

Lin Qiao: "..."

He subconsciously took a few steps back, and then Jiang Xiaolu reached out and caught him chatting alone.Looking at her expression, Lin Qiao felt that he was going to be scolded, but Jiang Xiaolu just glared at him, sighed and said, "I don't blame you, I know you are inexperienced."

"I'm sorry." Lin Qiao whispered, "Miss Xiaolu, have you eaten? I brought you food."

"No." Jiang Xiaolu rubbed his head, "Thank you."
