Chapter 233: cost
Before coming here, Xu Shiyan had discussed with Xu Shiqin about the operation, and they were aware of the risks and so on.
After all, it is the spine. If it is not done properly, it will hurt the nerves, and it may be paralyzed.
Xu Shiqin has a firm will, that is, no matter how painful or dangerous, she still wants to have this operation.
After receiving so many strange looks for twenty years, she felt very inferior.
Now Xu Shiqin is about to get engaged to Han Liwei, she hopes that she can marry the person she likes in the most perfect state.
So, the brothers and sisters are most concerned about money.
The two of them had six or seven thousand dollars with them, and I don\'t know if the first-stage surgery will be possible.
If it is not enough, Xu Shiyan has to find another way.
"In fact, the main reason is that the materials are expensive. This set of imported alloy materials costs about 2,000 yuan, and the operation fee is a few hundred yuan.
In addition to various medical expenses, hospitalization expenses, etc., it is conservatively estimated to be more than 3,000. "
Chi Hao made a rough estimate and gave the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters a number.
The monthly hospitalization fee for this year is 1.2 yuan per bed per day, which is more than 100 yuan for three months.
Most surgeries are not expensive. Type A surgery costs 45 to 60 yuan, type B surgery costs 30 to 45 yuan, type C surgery costs 15 to 30 yuan, outpatient minor surgery costs 5 to 15 yuan dollars.
Spine correction is a new project, and if it is not included in these four categories, the operation fee will be higher.
But in general, the bulk is the material.
No way, the domestic production of medical equipment and materials is not enough.
This new type of medical project requires materials that cannot be produced domestically and can only be imported.
All together, the minimum guarantee is 3,000 yuan.
And this is not counting three months of food expenses, nutrition expenses, and the room and board that Xu Shiyan accompanied here.
If you count them all together, it may cost more than four thousand.
Four thousand, what is the concept?
For example, Xu Shiqin is now a second-level worker, and her monthly salary is less than 30 yuan. In addition, she has a forest subsidy in her early twenties, which is about 50 yuan a month.
Four thousand yuan is equal to her eighty months\' wages, that is, nearly seven years\' wages.
Xu Shiqin had to save all his wages for seven years without food or drink in order to have surgery, and this is not all.
Just thinking about it is enough to make many people retreat.
That\'s why Director Chi explained all this clearly to Xu Shiyan and his siblings in advance, so that they would know that this operation is really not something ordinary people can do.
Xu Shiqin\'s injury is not considered a work-related injury, and there is no place for reimbursement, all of which are at his own expense, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary families.
Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters were relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, it was within the range they could bear.
"Director Chi, we will perform this operation." The siblings said in unison.
Chi Hao looked at the siblings in surprise. Although they were dressed neatly, they were just ordinary people.
I heard from Mr. Chu before that it was the first ordinary peasant family in Fusong, how could they afford so much money?
When will farmers earn so much money?
"Okay, since you agree to the operation, I\'ll let someone arrange the hospitalization.
Tomorrow morning, you will come to go through the hospitalization procedures. The specific operation plan needs to be discussed carefully in a meeting. "
At Director Chi\'s position, self-cultivation is naturally extraordinary. Even if you have doubts in your heart, you will never question it face to face.
Director Chi is very busy here, so it\'s not good for the brothers and sisters of the Xu family to disturb him.
So the two of them bid farewell and left, and returned to Chu\'s old home according to the way they came.
The nanny opened the door to see Xu Shiyan brother and sister, and greeted them warmly.
The two siblings entered the living room again, only to see Elder Chu with a serious face.
"Shiyan, why didn\'t you tell me that what you gave me was an old mountain ginseng?"
It turned out that after the nanny sent Xu Shiyan and the two to the hospital, she returned to Chu\'s house and bought a chicken according to Elder Chu\'s wishes.
Mr. Chu said that he wanted to eat chicken stewed mushrooms at noon, but last year’s ones were gone, so the nanny went to look for the ones that Xu Shiyan had just sent.
As a result, after looking through it, I found that there was a wooden box inside the package, and there was a ginseng tree in the box.
The nanny is also a family member of a doctor, and she has some knowledge, so she feels wrong at first glance.
This does not seem to be an ordinary ginseng, so quickly show it to Mr. Chu.
Chu’s family has a long history of learning. Although he has been practicing Western medicine all these years, the foundation laid down since childhood is still there, and he can recognize it at a glance. This is a very old mountain ginseng.
At this moment, just this ginseng will cost about 1,500 yuan.
Fifteen thousand, how much is that?
Usually send some fungus mushrooms, walnuts and pine nuts, which is considered normal.
Sending ginseng worth more than 1,000 yuan all at once, is it still worth it? Of course, Mr. Chu couldn\'t ask for it.
"You have to spend a lot of money to treat Xiao Liu\'s illness, why give me such a valuable thing back?
No, you can take it back quickly, I will find you a place to sell it, just keep it for Xiao Liu’s medical treatment. "
Old Chu pushed the wooden box on the table towards Xu Shiyan, motioning Xu Shiyan to take it away.
"Master, this thing may be worth a little money with you, but with me, no amount of money is worth as much as our teacher-student relationship.
At the beginning, you didn\'t think I was stupid for accepting me as an apprentice, but unfortunately I didn\'t insist on learning from you all the time. I have always regretted it all these years.
I haven\'t been able to take care of you by your side these years. My apprentice is not qualified enough.
This ginseng is a little bit of my filial piety. "
How can you take back what you give away? A wild ginseng may be precious to others, but it is nothing to him.
Now Xu Shiyan has several trees in his hand.
The big house is under the cliff, last year he took a chance to visit it, and the dozen or so ginseng trees were all healthy, but no one found it.
If it’s used in the future, he’ll just have to dig it out. Isn’t Elder Chu still missing?
"Don\'t worry, I have prepared all the money for my little sister\'s medical treatment.
As you know, I have been tossing a lot in the past few years, and I have a little money in my hand. "Xu Shiyan smiled and pushed the wooden box over again.
"Master, do you think I am at this age, can I learn something more?
I have a breeding farm now. I heard that the fields may be divided into ginseng land after the next year, and I will contract and do it alone in the future. I also want to learn about deep processing and fine processing of ginseng.
Now there is no recommendation system in universities, so is there any other way, I want to go to school. "
Xu Shiyan was well aware of Elder Chu\'s temper, so he quickly changed the subject.
Sure enough, when Mr. Chu heard that Xu Shiyan wanted to go to school, he immediately regained his energy, but after thinking about it carefully, he frowned again.
"Oh, you, you really didn\'t catch up with the good times.
If you had followed me to study for a few more years, at least you could take the barefoot doctor exam, and it would be useful to pass the exam.
Now, workers, peasants, and soldiers are not allowed to be recommended to go to college. They have to take the college entrance examination. You don’t meet the requirements. Why do you take the exam? "
Old Chu shook his head as he spoke.
"A while ago, I heard that the Agriculture Committee commissioned the Agricultural University to recruit a group of correspondence colleges, with majors in animal husbandry and agricultural product processing.
But the requirement is to be an agricultural cadre or a backup cadre at the deputy county level, and you don\'t meet this requirement. "
Nowadays, when ordinary people miss college, the only way is the college entrance examination.
The rest of the correspondence courses and night schools have thresholds and are not open to ordinary people.
Tomorrow, it will still be updated on time at 7 o\'clock. Thank you for your support. More genuine books are available on the Qidian Chinese website.
