In front of the chemical factory in ** City, ** Province, Chu Menghen carried heavy welfare goods and moved step by step towards his poor, rusty bicycle. Finally, he did not go home empty-handed. The factory had been losing money for many years.
The leaders still squeezed out some welfare funds from the union funds, so that they, the migrant workers, also received a slightly balanced welfare package - two bundles of ten kilograms of green onions and a bag of thirty kilograms of potatoes.
Chu Menghen glanced enviously at the sales section chief who had just opened the door of the Audi A6. The guy was throwing a rectangular envelope with a red and white edge on the leather seat cushion, and took out a new iPhone to invite his mistress.
Xiaosi went to a karaoke bar for drinks.
Chu Menghen reluctantly put the heavy "welfare items" on the rear hanger of the bicycle. A gust of cold wind blew, and his thin body shivered involuntarily into a ball, like a dead leaf in the autumn wind...
Scattered snow particles gradually fell in the hazy sky. Chu Menghen pedaled the car hard. Because there were no pedals, the car chain had no oil, and the fastening screws of the fender were missing, so,
The sound of rattling spread far away, and the whole thing was a top-notch bicycle that rang everywhere except the bell. Even the "beggars" lying on the wear-resistant road looked at it sideways.
"Please give way...my car doesn't have the brakes..." Chu Menghen shouted with all his strength, fearing that the crowd of people more than fifty meters in front of him wouldn't be able to hear him.
When the people who gathered in front of the alley on Chunhe Street to watch the excitement heard Chu Menghen's shout, they quickly dodged away, fearing that they would be bumped into by this poor man.
At the entrance of the alley that was instantly vacated, an old man was huddled on the edge of the curb, moaning helplessly: "Give me a hand... I'm not kidding you... Do you admit that I fell down? Give me a hand..."
Chu Menghen watched from a distance as the old man raised his hands tremblingly for help. He quickly spread his feet and used his artificial leather sneakers with several cracks as "foot brakes". After wearing off a layer of sole, he finally stopped.
The approach of the old man.
After setting up the car ladder without a locking spring, Chu Menghen ran to the old man, bent down and hugged him.
"Hey... there is such a fool to help him! Hey, young man, how do you deal with the old man blackmailing you? We don't have surveillance here, and I don't have a mobile phone, how can you really save him?" A guy who thinks he is smarter quickly admonished him.
road.
Chu Menghen glanced at this guy and stretched out his hand to hail the passing taxi.
One car... two cars... three cars... seven or eight cars passed by in a row, no matter whether they were occupied or unoccupied, it was as if Chu Menghen and the others were transparent air, and no car was willing to stop.
Let's call 1. Chu Menghen gently put the old man down, comforted him and ran to the phone booth on the roadside.
After waiting for half an hour, when both Chu Menghen and the old man were about to be frozen to death, the ambulance arrived belatedly.
Cooperating with the medical staff, Chu Menghen accompanied the old man all the way to the hospital. The old man was sent to the emergency ward, and Chu Menghen was dragged to the outpatient clinic by the doctor accompanying him and ordered to go through the hospitalization procedures for the old man.
"The old man needs craniotomy, you must pay the hospital deposit as soon as possible!"
"Doctor, I don't know this old man. He is in a coma now. You could do well to wake him up first. I will ask him if he has any children. I don't have enough money to pay the hospitalization deposit!" Chu Menghen
I begged shyly and urgently.
"Then...I can't make the decision, you can ask the person in charge of the window!" After the doctor on board said that, he disappeared from Chu Menghen's sight like stepping on hot wheels...
"No money? No money! Our hospital never does credit. You'd better ask the neighbors to see who knows someone in his family, and go through the hospitalization procedures quickly!" The doctor in charge of the hospitalization procedures shook his head like a rattle.
"It's important to save people first! Don't doctors save lives and heal the wounded?" Chu Menghen asked angrily.
"We are not a welfare home here, how can we open a hospital like yours?" After the doctor finished speaking, he shouted to the person behind Chu Menghen: "Next one!"
Chu Menghen was pushed hard by the guy behind him, and his thin body was almost pushed down.
"Why are you packing big cloves of garlic here if you don't have money?" A low voice in the queue made Chu Menghen almost faint. In desperation, he had no choice but to run out of the hospital and rush towards the Chunhe Street alley.
When Chu Menghen ran back to the alley out of breath, his bicycle ladder without a locking spring had long ceased to perform its function. The top-quality bicycle had "sleeped" steadily by the roadside, and the green onions and potatoes fell apart.
On one place, several potatoes far away from Gulu had been trampled to pieces by the shoes of some "animals" and were scattered everywhere.
Chu Menghen had no time to take care of his own welfare items, so he panted and came to the newsstand to ask the newsstand owner if he knew the old man who fell.
Fortunately, the owner of the newsstand actually knew him and gave Chu Menghen the phone number of the old man's relative.
Chu Menghen didn't have time to think about why the owner didn't call the old man's relatives, so he quickly picked up the phone and dialed the other party's cell phone.
"Hello...? Who is it?!" came a lazy, coaxing, and nonchalant voice.
"Are you Uncle Wang's son? He fell down at the entrance of Chunhe Street and Alley. He is now waiting for emergency surgery in the hospital. Please go and take a look!" Chu Menghen said breathlessly.
"Who are you? Are you talking nonsense? My old man...my father never goes out easily, don't you want to deceive me? You have nothing to do!" The sound of hanging up was heard immediately.
Chu Menghen stared blankly at the microphone in his hand, speechless.
"Young man, his son is a typical unfilial son. Is it possible to expect him to go see Uncle Wang and pay the hospitalization fee? You too, why are you minding your own business when you have nothing to do? You must be sticky! That beast wishes that Uncle Wang would be early
Why don’t you report to Marx!" the newsstand owner teased.
"But... we can't just leave Uncle Wang unattended!" Chu Menghen shook his head and returned to his bicycle, which was still asleep. After sorting out the scattered welfare items, he helped the bicycle and pushed it.
To your own little home.
After unlocking the padlock and pushing open the front door, Chu Menghen leaned the car against the wall of the outer room, sighed, gritted his teeth and quickly walked into the back room, took out his bankbook from under the pillow of the single bed, locked the door and ran
I went to the nearby postal savings office...
Chu Menghen held the bankbook with only 3 yuan, 1 jiao and 4 cents left and the 50,000 yuan he had saved so hard, and walked quickly to the window for hospitalization.
"This... is the hospitalization deposit, please handle it quickly!" Chu Menghen handed the hard-earned money that was almost covered with ink to the doctor at the window.
The doctor looked at Chu Menghen and the crumpled RMB, and yelled angrily: "Don't squeeze it too hard next time when you hand over the money, the money counter won't recognize it!"
Black ... dripping ... wow ... drip ... wow ... drip ... these 50,000 yuan were ordered to pass the level four or five times before barely passed the level.
People blame him for being old-fashioned.
Chu Menghen also felt that he was a little unsatisfied. He kept rubbing his hands while blushing, and was embarrassed to look up at the other person's face.
"Okay, let's go to the doctor to prescribe medicine, calculate the price, pay the money, and go get the medicine!" The doctor at the window finally handed a few receipts to Chu Menghen, and pointed to the direction of the toilet and gave instructions.
Chu Menghen quickly took the receipt and ran towards the direction of the toilet...
After three hours of searching, asking, waiting, and queuing up... Chu Menghen finally completed the relevant procedures, and Uncle Wang was pushed into the operating room.
After a long wait, the door of the operating room was opened, and Uncle Wang was pushed out with a respirator.
"Doctor...how...how are you doing?" Chu Menghen asked worriedly.
"It's not bad. It wasn't too late. The operation was quite successful. You will wake up tomorrow. You are his grandson. Well done! What a filial little guy!" The doctor who performed the surgery looked at his eyes with approval.
Chu Menghen, who was blushing, replied.
"That... that's good!" Chu Menghen finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and a rare smile appeared on his thin face.
Early the next morning, Chu Menghen woke up from the haze. Uncle Wang was still asleep on the bed. However, various physiological indicators showed that the instrument instructions were still normal. Chu Menghen rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at himself.
That cheap electronic watch.
"Yeah! It's almost time!" Chu Menghen jumped up like a rabbit with a needle pricking its butt, and hurriedly opened the door and ran to the bus stop.
During rush hour, buses look like giant movable sausages, only with human flesh inside!
Chu Menghen finally squeezed into the car. Under attack from both sides, he couldn't even stand on top of the car. He was almost squeezed into the air.
The speed of the bus made Chu Menghen, who didn't have enough time, arrive a full fifteen minutes late! He couldn't get the full attendance award this month! Chu Menghen hated himself for sleeping so hard.
When the section chief saw that Chu Menghen finally appeared, the guy screamed in agony, and then pushed him to the compression workshop to guard the huge high-pressure gas compressor, and told him that he would have to work at four o'clock during the day shift today.
Show punishment!
Chu Menghen looked at the behemoth with 6,000 volt power supply in front of him, and felt bitter in his heart. Although the work was not very labor-intensive, he could not leave for a moment. Because the wife of the worker who was on duty with Chu Menghen was in labor, he had to take leave.
, and no one is willing to take over right now.
"Boom, boom, boom...buzz, buzz..." The fixed-frequency noise produced by the huge piston of the compressor was like a monotonous lullaby, making Chu Menghen's eyelids become increasingly heavy even though he had not had enough rest.
It's quite cool, I have a quarter of an hour to go before getting off work, and I don't know if Uncle Wang has woken up yet... Chu Menghen comforted himself, but at the same time he felt a little distracted mentally.
Hiss, hiss... Some strange sounds added a slight disharmony to the huge roar. Not to mention Chu Menghen, who was already extremely tired physically and mentally, even the skilled workers who had just taken over the shift ahead of schedule were unconscious.
I heard this unusual sound.
"Beep beep... chirp... bell..." All kinds of alarms suddenly sounded like crazy, followed by a huge emptying sound that filled everyone's hearing, sizzling... ping... ping... the transparent observation mirror of the compressor was suddenly burst by the high pressure.
A piece of plexiglass with a thickness of five centimeters flew past Chu Menghen's eyes, shattering the observation window of the workshop.
"Ah~~!" A piercing scream came from the observation room, and even the huge emptying sound could not cover it up.
Chu Menghen turned around and looked around, only to see Xiao Cheng, a new technician in the workshop, looking at the section chief with a face full of broken glass in horror. His screams kept getting louder and louder, almost comparable to Vitas' dolphin sound.
"Run~~~! The pressure in the pipeline is extremely high and it's about to explode!" The section leader, whose face was covered in blood, shouted with his eyes closed.
"Bang~~~!" With a loud noise, the two-inch thick-walled steel pipe at the inlet of the compressor was disconnected, and the carbon monoxide inside instantly spurted out. The broken control cable ended up on the iron cylinder of the machine, and there was a bright spark.
It ignited the mixed gas that had just reached the explosive concentration, and the violent explosion broke the compressor into pieces.
Chu Menghen was pushed more than ten meters away by the huge air wave. The section chief and technician Xiao Cheng who had just ran out of the control room were blown back. Unfortunately, the section chief tripped over the computer monitor that fell from the workbench.
His head hit the broken aluminum alloy window frame heavily, and the protruding aluminum alloy frame passed straight through his throat like a sharp blade. A large amount of blood spurted all over Xiao Cheng, and then, a voice higher than the dolphin
The cry woke up the dizzy Chu Menghen.
Chu Menghen shook his head, adjusted his bottle-like glasses and looked at the source of the cry. "Creak..." The I-beam above the control room gradually cracked and was about to fall down.
Chu Menghen didn't even have time to think. He rushed towards Xiaocheng with all his strength and pushed him out with both hands...
"Boom..." The loud sound of the I-beam breaking and hitting the ground echoed in Chu Menghen's ears, "Gaba..." He clearly felt that all the bones in his body were smashed to pieces! What was even more hateful was that the computer's mainframe was
Pressed under him, the entire hard drive and the cables that had not yet been removed were deeply embedded in Chu Menghen's body. An indescribable current mixed with a large amount of data instantly invaded his brain...
…
"Ah~~~Brother Chu~~~!" Xiao Cheng's cry, which once again surpassed the sound of a dolphin, seemed a bit ethereal. Chu Menghen felt that there was still a strange, unprecedented, very comfortable softness still rippling around him.
The tips of my own fingers, and then I didn’t know anything...
