Chapter 1577 Medical Expenses
Mother Du was too nervous and slow to react. She was not as quick as her daughter in everything. When her daughter took over the basin held by little girl Le, she quickly went to lift the duck pot on the coal stove.
Classmate Du had an attitude of absolutely carrying out the instructions given by his classmate. He used the honeycomb tongs to hold the paper and put it on the stove to burn, and then the towel.
The paper was ignited by the honeycomb fire, and there was no peculiar smell when it burned. The towel was moistened with blood and water. It only caught fire in dry areas. The wet areas did not receive much fire, so they had to be roasted first, which produced a pungent odor.
With nothing to do, Lan San dragged a chair and sat there as an audience member.
Giving the basin to Little Belly, Le Yun took the backpack and the porcelain pot from the handsome man Lan, then added water to the porcelain pot, and turned on the gas stove to boil the medicine again.
When I turned around, I saw a towel baking on my belly, but without saying anything, I took out a porcelain bottle from my backpack, poured some powder and put it in the corner of the room to smear the room. Then I sat there and silently watched my belly struggle with the towel.
The flavor of the spices is very strong and dilutes the pungent odor.
Classmate Du held a towel between his hands and "grilled" it bit by bit. It took him about six minutes to successfully kill the target, and then he put the pot on the stove to bake.
The stainless steel basin conducts heat quickly and gets hot quickly.
Le Xiaoxiao stared at the basin for a long time. It was not until the color of the pelvic floor showed the color that can only be seen after high-temperature moxibustion, that he finally stopped.
When Classmate Du heard that the heat was ready, he used pliers to take away the basin and put it outside the house. He then picked up a kettle and boiled water and poured it into the basin. He then used a basket to cover it to prevent someone's chicken from jumping into the basin and being scalded.
After disposing of the medical supplies, Du Miaoshu poured water and washed her hands, then washed the hands and faces of her little classmate and her bodyguard, and then reheated the food and ate with her mother.
The mother and daughter stewed a native chicken, stewed pig's trotters, braised fish, fried pork ribs, and four side dishes, which was very rich.
The Du family's mother and daughter are also very good at cooking. Lan San happily cooked an authentic farm dish and was very satisfied.
After lunch, because there was no time to remove the needle, Le Xiaoxiao boiled the used medical needle in boiling water three times, then put it into a glass bottle filled with medicinal juice and soaked it.
Du Ma, Du Miaoshu, wanted to go to the main room, but she still suppressed her anxiety.
The medicine simmered for about an hour and a half. Le Xiaoxiao turned off the gas stove, took the pot to the main room, mixed another bowl of medicine and asked Dad to drink it.
Dad Du was awake during acupuncture and did not feel hungry or thirsty. Little Miss Le went to eat, but he did not move. The little girl asked him to drink the medicine, and he drank it without saying a word.
After giving Dad Du some medicine, Le Yun pulled out ten needles again and inserted a dozen more needles. While observing, she cleaned and disinfected the used needles.
About thirty-five minutes later, the power of the last bowl of medicine is introduced into the person's body, which also represents the completion of the last process.
Le Yun pulled out the medical needle in an orderly manner, retracted all the needles, and then disinfected Dad Du. When the blood gushes out from the needle hole, some sporadic blood spots splashed on Dad Du's chest skin. For safety reasons, Disinfection needs to be done.
After doing the third disinfection work, she asked Dad to continue lying down. She scalded her medical needle with boiling water, sterilized it again, and put it in a glass bottle.
Afterwards, I sterilized Father Du again, and then put all the bottles and jars away, including the porcelain pots where the medicine had been boiled, in cloth bags.
After sorting out his medical tools, he used the X-ray function of his eyes to scan Dad's body to make sure that he had achieved the desired effect. He smiled and said the long-awaited words: "Uncle Du, it's OK."
The little girl finally said it was okay to get up. Dad Du got up quickly, turned his back to the little girl, picked up the clothes lying next to the mat and put them on as quickly as possible.
Du Miaoshu, who was staying in the kitchen, heard what her little deskmate said, and quickly opened the door bolt and rushed to the main room: "Little girl Le, is the acupuncture completed..."
She ran to the main room and saw her father getting dressed. She rushed over happily and rushed to her father's side in a few steps. She squatted down and her heart trembled with excitement: "Dad, how do you feel?"
The girl hurriedly ran to the main room, and Du Ma also ran with her excitedly. When she ran, she felt like she was stepping on cotton, one foot high and one foot low.
As soon as he put on his clothes, his daughter rushed over. Dad Du was buttoning his clothes and replied: "I feel very good. I used to feel tired. I often had cramping around my stomach and wanted to vomit. But now I feel better." I feel energetic all over.”
Du Ma, who hurriedly ran closer, burst into tears when she heard her husband's words.
As if something stepped on her tail, Du Miaoshu jumped up, rushed to her deskmate, held the petite big-breasted little lolita in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "Le Xiaoniu, my dad is fine." No? Isn’t it?”
The little belly asked herself if the acupuncture was completed. Le Yun was about to answer, but the girl rushed to her father. She didn't say anything and let the father and daughter talk. When the little belly jumped up, she hugged her. He paused and touched his head on his belly: "Theoretically, it is cured. However, the past few days have been a period of vulnerability to infection. Once infected or exposed to any external stimulation, cancer cells can easily regenerate in areas where cancer cells used to grow."
"Really cured?" Du Miaoshu was so excited that she ran ten thousand meters in one breath. Her breathing was rapid, and her hands hugging her little classmate were trembling.
Du Ma was also nervously waiting for the answer.
"Well, it's really cured." The little belly was so excited that it would be useless to say anything else, so it's better not to say it yet.
"That's great, wu-" Du Miaoshu's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her belly started crying again. Leyun stretched out her little claws and decisively lifted the person aside. She quickly escaped and ran to the door, opened the door and ran outside to stay. She felt it was necessary to avoid it and leave the space for Du. family.
Lan San also sneaked away smartly and went to watch the scenery with little Loli outside Du's house.
The little classmate ran away, Du Miaoshu wiped her tears, saw her mother, hugged her and cried,
Du Ma's nerves, which had been strained since her husband was hospitalized, finally relaxed, and she seemed to be about to collapse. When the girl rushed towards her, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Dad Du had just put on his clothes and adjusted his sweatpants when he heard a cry. He turned around and saw his mother and daughter crying in a heap. He felt sour in his heart. He also found that Miss Le and the handsome young man were not in the main room, so he hurriedly climbed out of the room. Get up and run towards the door in a hurry.
He ran to the gate and saw Miss Le and the camouflage young man standing under the eaves. They crossed the threshold in three steps and greeted outside: "Little Miss Le, handsome boy, I made you laugh. The child's mother and Shu Shu I have been worried about my illness every day these days, but now I can’t stand it when I hear the good news, and I’m neglecting you.”
"It's okay. We understand. Let the mother and daughter vent their emotions." Lan San smiled gently. Such a scene was normal. They often couldn't help but laugh, cry or jump when they heard that their teammates had turned the corner.
The little girl's bodyguard was so considerate, which made Du's father feel even more guilty and invited people to sit in the hall.
Afraid of crying with her belly wrapped around her, Le Yun did not dare to enter the Du family hall for the time being. She declined with a smile and said warmly: "Uncle Du, acupuncture treatment successfully killed cancer cells, but it does not mean that it will never relapse. If Re-infection or stimulation by carcinogens. Areas where cancer cells once existed are most likely to be infected again, leading to recurrence of liver cancer
The first seven days are the most vulnerable to infection. Do not go to dirty places, such as vegetable markets, garbage dumps, hospitals, etc.
Because your body is severely depleted, your body's muscles are aging very badly, and you must take care of yourself. Because you have just finished acupuncture, the effect of the medicine is still there, and it can make you energetic for three to five days, but that is also temporary. Therefore, Uncle Du, you can't do it yourself. To show off your strength, you must pay attention to your body and rest for at least three months before you can do less tiring physical labor.
You also have to pay attention to your diet. Eat something light. Spicy and sour foods are not allowed. Sour peppers and sauerkraut are not allowed to be eaten. Within one or two months, nutrition must be kept up. Try to keep it for three or two days. Simmer chicken soup or fish soup to drink.
Uncle Du, from now on, you would rather not drink or smoke than drink low-quality wine made with alcohol, let alone smoke low-quality cigarettes. Alcohol-made wine and cigarettes worth three to five yuan are the most harmful to the body.
You can’t be frugal in life. You can’t stand eating pickles and sauerkraut every day. You and Aunt Du were too frugal in the past, resulting in severe malnutrition, long-term overwork, excessive mental pressure, and physical and neurological weakness. If you want to save money now, you will only put a greater burden on your children when you suffer from major and minor illnesses in the future. ”
The little girl was telling some things to pay attention to. Dad Du listened carefully. When he heard the little girl talking about inferior wine and cigarettes, he felt very sad. Was it because the cigarettes he smoked were not good and the wine he drank was too bad, which caused the damage? Body, that’s why you get liver cancer?
Because life is stressful and he wants to save money, he smokes 3.5-dollar cigarettes and drinks the cheapest wine. Because he wants to save money, whenever the children are not at home, he and his wife eat chili stir-fried sauerkraut most of the time.
He couldn't hold the question in his mind and asked in a low voice: "Little Miss Le, is my illness... caused by tobacco and alcohol?" "There are many factors that cause liver cancer, and no one is sure which cause it is." Come on, tobacco and alcohol harm the body, coupled with dietary reasons, resulting in poor physical fitness and poor resistance, which provides good conditions for germs. When stimulated by external factors such as the work environment or air pollution, the probability of liver cancer is higher than in the body. Healthy people are bigger ”
Le Yun was worried that Dad Du would be overstepping his mark, so she explained it in detail and then told her: "Uncle Du's work itself is prone to exposure to various bacteria. You have low resistance, so you must take good protection to prevent your hands and feet from being exposed to bacteria-contaminated glass, All kinds of debris punctures, once punctured by something, they must be cleaned and disinfected in time to avoid infection. ”
In the main room, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while. When they heard the conversation outside, they came out of their daze, wiped away their tears immediately, and ran out of the main room in a hurry.
The mother and daughter didn't hear clearly what the little girl said before, but only heard the last part. Du Miaoshu was also very nervous: "Le Xiaoniu, my mother... isn't she in bad health too?"
I asked Du Ma if she was in good health. Le Yun didn't want to say it at first, but she was afraid that the Du family's parents would not pay attention to their health, so she told the truth: "Uncle Du's body is like an aging machine, and there is a possibility of malfunctioning at any time. After this treatment, Uncle Du successfully survived the crisis." During the infection period, if you take proper rest, there will be no major problems within ten years
Aunt Du suffers from severe insomnia, neurasthenia, and malnutrition. Because she is too harsh on herself in terms of diet, Aunt Du has a bad stomach and is at great risk of suffering from gastric cancer or lung cancer.
Aunt Du, you really can't be harsh on your body anymore. According to your previous dietary conditions, every time you save a dollar, you may have to pay a thousand times the price in the future. ”
"My mother... is her health that bad?" Du Miaoshu took a breath and looked at her mother in disbelief. She also found that her mother seemed to be older than a few months ago. Dark, thin, and haggard.
The daughter inquired about her physical condition from the little girl, but it was too late for Du Ma to stop her. After hearing what the little girl said was so serious, she believed it in her heart. However, she was afraid that her daughter would be worried, so she quickly grabbed the girl's hand and comforted her: "Shu Shu. , I am in good health, but sometimes I can’t sleep because I think too much. I don’t have trouble falling asleep all the time. My stomach is fine and I never have stomach pain.”
Father Du's heart was heavy. He believed in Miss Le's diagnosis. However, he was afraid that the girl would be worried. He could not let his wife listen to the little girl, nor could he help his wife deceive his daughter, so he could only remain silent.
"Mom, don't lie to me. Dad often said that he was in good health, but it turns out he has liver cancer." Du Miaoshu's eye sockets were so sore that she was about to shed tears. She swallowed back her tears and walked quickly to her little deskmate, pulling Xiao Luo along with her. Li's wrist: "Little girl Le, let's go to the main room and sit down and talk. Please tell me the doctor's instructions in detail and I will write them down."
"Okay." Le Yun turned around neatly and entered the Du family hall with her classmates Xiaodu.
Lan San, who was in the air, followed little Loli's footsteps without saying a word, and Du's father and Du's mother hurriedly followed behind. The five of them sat down in the main room, and Du's mother brought some fruit.
In order to avoid misremembering, Du Miaoshu took her mobile phone and turned on the recording function to record.
For the sake of the patient's health, Mr. Le Xiao did not hide it, nor could he cooperate with the Du family just because they wanted to save money. He made a long list of medical instructions, including things that should not be eaten and should not be touched, and Places that should not be approached are listed.
Du's parents were dumbfounded. They couldn't eat pickled cabbage because it was so spicy. They said they understood, but why couldn't they eat steamed buns and mustard greens? There are also saltwater fish in the sea that cannot be eaten, and there are several dishes that they have not memorized at all, and may not know them at all.
Du Miaoshu recorded the doctor's order and asked seriously: "Le Xiaoniu, how much is the medical fee for my dad's treatment? You have to tell the truth. Although I don't have the money now, I owe it first and I will pay it back later."
Father and Mother Du became nervous and pricked up their ears.
"The medical expenses are really not cheap," Le Yun said, "I treated a lung cancer patient before, and his cancer also changed from mid-term to late-stage. The severity of the disease was similar to that of Uncle Du, because the patient's father and I have some friendship, and the middleman who asked me to see a doctor is also a friend of mine, so I only charged 4 million for medical expenses
The cost of the medicines used for Uncle Du's acupuncture was about the same as the medicines used for the lung cancer patient. The cost of the medicines was about 3.8 million. ”
"Three...three hundred and eighty...eight hundred thousand?" Dad Du opened his mouth and could hardly breathe, with big beads of sweat on his face and forehead.
"Yes, 3.8 million. This is just the cost of the medicinal materials. If it were someone I didn't know, I would have to charge about 1 million in hard-earned fees. If it was a patient recommended by an acquaintance, in addition to the cost of the medicinal materials, at least The hard work fee is about one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand.”
Le Yun shrugged, with a look of helplessness on her face: "The medicinal materials I use are all very precious and rare medicines. Because the medicines are so rare and the cost is so high, I don't accept patients personally for fear that the medical expenses will be too high." People reported me for cheating, and the patients who came to me for help were all recommended by acquaintances, who would vouch for the patients.”
Father Du opened his mouth and was speechless. Mother Du no longer knew where she was.
Du Miaoshu was also so shocked by the astronomical figures that she broke into a cold sweat.
"Actually, a hard-earned fee of more than one million yuan is already very low." Lan San finally stopped being a mute: "Classmate Le Xiao treated a foreigner and received a hard-earned fee of more than 10 million yuan. By the way, it's Ten million US dollars, not ten million yuan.”
"Hiss-" Du's father and his mother took a breath of cold air, their eyes almost dropped to the ground. They charge 10 million for a treatment. Oh my God, doctors are so profitable!
"The number of one million to ten million sounds very tempting, but has anyone thought about the danger of Mr. Le's collecting medicinal materials?" Lan San calmly stated: "In order to collect medicinal materials, Mr. Le went to Africa alone. There were lions and She has been to uninhabited grasslands and deserts where leopards, tigers, wolves and other animals roam. She has been to several primeval forests and northern deserts in China. As a girl, she often stayed out for ten and a half days, and danger could happen at any time
It is impossible for her to do everything by herself. Some medicinal materials are purchased from medicinal collectors, or they are paid to be collected by others. A large amount of cost is invested in each medicine. Without a hard-earned fee of millions and millions, let her drink the northwest wind. No.
The family members of the foreigner who was cured by Le Xiaoxiao sympathized with her hard work and were grateful to her, so they gave the little classmate a helicopter as a thank you gift. ”
"Handsome guy, my dad... was frightened and did not doubt Le Xiaoniu's intentions." Du Miaoshu understood what Le Xiaoniu's bodyguard meant and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Alright, don't be nervous," Le Yun playfully touched the head of her belly: "I know Uncle Du didn't mean that. The reason why handsome guy Lan said so much and the reason why I told you the cost of the medicinal materials is just to give you some peace of mind. Son, you can't understand it too well now, maybe you will understand it soon
I guess, sooner or later, others will know that Uncle Du has liver cancer. Others will know that you asked me to cure the cancer. You and I are high school classmates. Some people who want to take advantage of others will definitely fawn over them. You guys, please help me find a doctor or something.
If I don’t tell you the truth, what if you think that curing cancer won’t cost much and you can’t save face and agree to help others find me? What will I do then? I charge according to my rules, and others can't afford it. Or, if others think they have been cheated, they will hate your family and me. I don't charge according to the actual price, and I charge the price again and again, and I can't afford to pay for it. ”
Du Miaoshu understood instantly: "I understand, Le Xiaoniu, what you mean is that if someone asks my dad how much it cost to treat cancer, we can't pretend that it doesn't cost much, we have to tell the truth and let others know that treating cancer requires a lot of effort. The price.”
"Yes, your little belly will show up when you see it, and you are very smart." Before Little Belly could react, Le Yun smiled and rubbed the head of her classmate with Little Belly: "Uncle Du is Little Belly's father, for the sake of my deskmate For the sake of my belly, the medical expenses are free this time. Of course, one code equals one code, and the money I borrowed from you must be paid back. The two cannot be confused.”
"All... all free? Le Xiaoniu, you don't charge me for treating my father. Where does the cost of your medicinal materials come from?" Du Miaoshu almost jumped up. The cost of more than three million yuan is completely free? Le Xiaoniu didn’t get a cent of her hard-earned money, so she still wants to pay back?
"It's just this once, I won't do it next time. Little belly, supervise your parents. You and your brother must take good care of your health while studying hard and working hard. If you have anything to do with me again, even if you are my only friend in high school, I will do the same." Selfless and will never accept a penny less.”
Le Yun curled her lips, rubbed her classmate's dog head a few more times, and said with a serious face: "Little belly, as promised before, I can't cure your dad, I will dance on Danjiang myself. If it's cured, you have to ask When I eat, don't think that you can just treat me with one or two meals. You have to treat me with at least fifty meals.
If Uncle Du wants to find a job in the future, he must obtain a health certificate. Let Uncle Du rest for about a month and at least half a month before going to the hospital for examination. It is best to go directly to the provincial hospital where you were hospitalized for a review. ”
"Okay! I'll treat you to dinner. I will work hard to make money and treat you to famous dishes from all provinces in the country." Du Miaoshu's heart felt hot and tears rolled out of her eyes. Le Xiaoniu knew that her family was poor, so she refused to accept the meal. I was afraid of hurting her self-esteem because of the cost of medicine, so I invited her to dinner to make her feel better. She is so considerate. How lucky she is to have such a little roommate!
Du's parents finally came to their senses, feeling moved and... guilty. They thought it was easy to make money as a doctor, but they thought it was too simple.
Le Yun was good at coaxing children but not adults. She rubbed the belly of her classmate's head. After her mood stabilized, she took out a few packs of pills from her backpack and gave them to her, asking her to supervise her father to take them on time.
After explaining clearly what needed to be explained, she rushed to the capital with her backpack. As for Du Ma's health problem, she did not mention it for the time being. The medicine in her hand was prepared for the soldier who was lying dead in the capital hospital and could not be given to Du Ma.
Du Miaoshu also knew that her classmate had to rush back to the capital, so she did not persuade her to stay. She asked her classmate for a passbook number and would return the unused money to her classmate another day.
The little girl wanted to rush to the capital to rescue people. The girl from Du's father and Du's mother saw off the guests until they were sent to the street. They helped stop an electric tricycle and watched the car reach an invisible place before returning.
The family of three returned home with mixed emotions, sadness and joy, and cried again. After crying, Dad Du urged the girl to go back to the provincial capital to work.
Du Miaoshu: "..." I don't mean that my daughter is my father's little cotton-padded jacket. She wants to be a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but why does her father always want to drive her away?
Feeling sad, I bought my high-speed rail ticket online for tomorrow morning and showed it to my dad to avoid being nagged.
