Chapter 499 Noisy Ward
The next morning, Zhou Mingxuan, Zhao Junhao led Zheng Jianmin, Qin Fang and Feng Chunyan to the town to visit Zheng Pengcheng.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao had bicycles, and they borrowed one from the team leader. The three boys rode the bicycles, carrying the two female educated youth, and rushed to the town.
Liu Jingxue, who saw all this with her spiritual consciousness, was thinking to herself that Zheng Pengcheng, who was suffering from the pain of a broken arm, saw Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were intact, and thought that he wanted to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, but he didn't expect that the wolf failed to swallow it, and instead killed himself. He didn't know how angry he would be.
Although Zhou Mingxuan went there once last time, he came back and said that he and Zheng Pengcheng did not meet. The man was in so much pain that he asked the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills for him. He fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. It was Zhou Wenbing who received him.
Now that so many days have passed, the wound probably isn't as painful as before, and Zheng Pengcheng should be used to the pain, so he shouldn't need to be prescribed sleeping pills anymore.
I think the meeting of the three of them will be very exciting.
Maybe not. After all, there were three other educated youths present. Zheng Pengcheng believed that he would stay in the Red Star Production Team for a long time. In order to restore his image, he might not say anything out of line.
Zhou Mingxuan followed him because he was worried that Zhao Junhao might say something wrong and anger Zheng Pengcheng, who now seemed to have been freed from his restraints. He would not say or do anything to annoy Zheng Pengcheng.
Just as Liu Jingxue had expected, after the group of five arrived in the town, they first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for visiting the patients, and then went to the hospital.
After locking the bicycles and paying two cents to have someone watch them, the group, led by Zhou Mingxuan, headed straight for Zheng Pengcheng's ward.
The town hospital is very busy and has a limited number of beds. Zheng Pengcheng is just an educated youth who has gone to the countryside, and he cannot live in a high-end single room, which can only be occupied by people of a certain level.
A few people walked into the ward and saw Zheng Pengcheng half lying on the bed with a look of endurance on his face, and Zhou Wenbing sitting on a chair beside the bed with a numb look on his face.
The ward was noisy and felt like walking into a vegetable market.
Zheng Pengcheng's bed was in the middle, and on the left was a middle-aged man. There were quite a few people around his bed, an old man and a middle-aged woman were cursing at each other.
A man who keeps cursing the old man and does nothing every day has brought so much harm to her son. She will only be satisfied if she kills him one day.
She keeps calling him a whore and a bitch. There has been no peace in her family since she was married. Now she has harmed her husband like this. Will she stop until the whole family is ruined?
The middle-aged man had a look of despair on his face. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. However, his eyes kept trembling, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was not asleep at all.
An elderly man, smoking with his head down, remained silent, pretending not to notice the quarrel.
He was accompanied by two children, a boy and a girl. The two of them huddled together, trying to hide themselves behind the old man and reduce their presence as much as possible.
Lying on the bed to the right of Zheng Pengcheng was an old lady wearing a hospital gown.
But seeing how she was now scolding the woman dressed as a daughter-in-law who was taking care of her, you really couldn't tell that she was a patient.
However, the woman who took care of her had a pale and bloodless face, and looked like she was definitely terminally ill.
As soon as the five people stepped into the ward, the unpleasant smell in the room, coupled with the oncoming shouting and cursing, suddenly made them feel dizzy and their eyes went dark, as if they had come to another world.
Five people walked into the ward, but did not attract the slightest attention of the patients in the other two beds or their families. They continued to do their own things, indifferent to anything in the outside world.
Zhou Wenbing, who was sitting there facing the door, was the first to notice the people who came in. He found out that they were his acquaintances. He was immediately surprised and happy. Finally, someone came and he could have a conversation with him.
Zheng Pengcheng always has a gloomy face these days, and no one will talk to him unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although I know that he has a broken arm and is in a bad mood, I am here to take care of him after all. He should at least consider his feelings and communicate with me.
Although he paid the money, and although he was only paid 6 cents a day with meals included, he was only responsible for fetching water, cooking, and running errands for him. The treatment was good, but he also felt depressed.
He couldn't sleep well here every day and his ears were never quiet, so he wanted to quit.
Although working in the fields is harder than working here, at least I can sleep well at night and don't have to face these annoying people all day long.
Therefore, Zhou Wenbing, who had had enough of the torture, stood up quickly when he saw several people coming in, "Mingxuan, Junhao, Jianmin, why are you here?"
After he finished speaking, he found that his voice was drowned out by the curses. Several people were afraid that they didn't hear him at all, so he quickly raised his voice and shouted again.
Zhou Mingxuan also shouted back, "We were selected as representatives of the educated youth. Come and see Zheng Pengcheng."
A more intense burst of shouting and cursing was heard, the sound was so harsh that Qin Fang and Feng Chunyan couldn't help but cover their ears.
Zhao Junhao frowned, "Why is the ward so noisy? How can I rest and recuperate peacefully?
The hospital doesn't care?"
Zhou Wenbing smiled bitterly, "It's been like this every day these past few days. I don't know how many times the doctors and nurses have come to tell them not to make noise in the ward, but these people simply don't listen.
Day and night, there is no moment of peace."
Looking at Zhou Wenbing's panda eyes, Zhao Junhao felt very sympathetic, "You do this every day, I'm afraid you don't get any rest, right?"
Zhou Wenbing smiled bitterly and said nothing. Everything was implied.
Hearing the noise in the ward, Zhou Mingxuan couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Zheng Pengcheng, "You bastard, don't stay here, take the valuables and let's go out for a while.
You're just hurting your hand, not your leg, so you can't move around easily. Why are you just standing there trying to stay like this?
If it really doesn't work, you can spend some money to have someone change your ward. It's not a big deal for you."
Zhou Mingxuan didn't sympathize with Zheng Pengcheng. If Zheng Pengcheng was alone, he would have hoped that Zheng Pengcheng would suffer more torture here, but Zhou Wenbing was here.
He couldn't bury his friendly forces just to trap the enemy.
Zheng Pengcheng glanced at Zhou Mingxuan and said nothing, but still got up from the bed and picked up a small package.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingxuan walked out without saying a word, and the others followed.
A few people found a quiet place and talked there.
As a representative, Zheng Jianmin said a few polite words to Zheng Pengcheng and handed the purchased items to Zhou Wenbing.
He wanted to hand it to Zheng Pengcheng, but Zheng Pengcheng only had one hand and was holding a package, so he had no choice but to hand it to Zhou Wenbing.
Although he knew that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao came here most likely to laugh at him, and that the others probably didn't come to express their sincere condolences, but now that he was in a weak position, Zheng Pengcheng controlled his temper and said a few polite words.
