Chapter 59: Meet Xiaofang Again
Hou Yan drove a Humvee through the uninhabited village streets, and some people heard the sound outside the door, lying on the window of their own house to watch, only to see an army-green car with loess dust speeding on the road, they all thought that it was a big family passing by the village, and did not think about the people of the same village at all.
The village clinic is actually a private house, with a badly damaged red cross sign hanging at the door, the yard is very clean, and there are two white coats hanging on the clothesline, but there is only one middle-aged doctor in the house who cares about the entire health center, and he is responsible for treating all kinds of diseases in the village.
Zhao Song unceremoniously took a few boxes of supplements from the car, as for the century-old ginseng that Hou Yan said, he felt that there was no need to make up so much, Hou Yan saw the full box in Zhao Song's hand, and felt that it was not enough, so he grabbed a few more bags and followed behind Zhao Song.
This clinic is the only one in the village on the second section of the building, and it is rare that Niu Dali did not put his ghost idea on the house of the clinic, after all, in this village, including himself, if he has any symptoms, he has to come to Dr. Li here, and no one dares to risk offending the doctor.
The environment in the health center is still very good, much stronger than some small clinics in the county, the equipment and facilities are very complete, the first floor is responsible for receiving patients and Dr. Li's own residence, the entire second floor is a ward, and some patients who need to be observed in the health center for a long time will live on the second floor.
Dr. Li is a very good person, kind and upright, although he is a doctor in the village, but there has never been a phenomenon of indiscriminate medical treatment, no illness to find a doctor, but for some families with difficult family backgrounds will be exempted from some medical expenses, the title of the angel in white is perfectly interpreted.
"Songzi is here!" Dr. Li saw Hou Yan behind Zhao Song.
"Don't you remember me? Dr. Li, I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, you gave me a spanking injection, and I even farted!"
Hou Yan wants to say that the most respected person in this village is Dr. Li, he often had a cold and fever when he was a child, and he was treated by Dr. Li, and if he didn't cry, he would be rewarded with a jelly bean.
"Hahaha, you're a monkey! How many years have you been gone, and you're finally home, your dad misses you!"
Hou Yan felt sour in his heart, this is not the first person to tell him about this, when he met Zhao Song just now, Zhao Song said in the first sentence that his father no longer blames him, and misses him very much, this matter may be known to the whole village, only he, who is a son, does not know.
"Thank you, Dr. Li, Songzi and I came to visit my mother. ”
"Your mother? Mrs. Zhao? She is upstairs, and her health is much better. Dr. Li said.
Mrs. Zhao's name is Zhao Qingmei, she is Zhao Song's biological mother, Zhao Song's father died of illness when he was born, and his mother raised him single-handedly, so he was surnamed Zhao with her mother.
Mrs. Zhao is relatively old, and she was too tired when she was young, which caused her body to age early, and all the functions of her body were seriously aged, and she had a lot of geriatric diseases, high blood pressure, osteoporosis are relatively mild, and she has some Alzheimer's disease recently, and she always has transient amnesia.
Hou Yan took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Dr. Li, Zhao Song mentioned the problem of medical expenses in the car just now, his family has no money, and the situation in Hou Yan's family is not good, so his mother's medical expenses have not been paid, and they have been delayed for several months, so they have to have thousands of yuan.
"Doctor Li, this is the old man's medical expenses, please accept it. ”
Dr. Li pushed the money back and hurriedly said, "I can't help it, this is too much, and the old man's medical expenses have already been paid in advance, so don't give it to me." ”
Zhao Songmeng is gone, because he has no money and no face to face to see Dr. Li, and he has not come to the health center for half a month, so how can anyone help him pay for his medical expenses? He has no other relatives in the village except Hou Yan.
"Who paid for it?" asked Hou Yan.
"Teacher Xiaofang of the village primary school, she has come to help me take care of the elderly every day for half a month, and she has really worked hard. ”
Hou Yan was stunned, Xiao Fang? What a familiar name he is, Xiao Fang's family lives in the front yard of his house, the two have played since childhood, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a childhood sweetheart, Xiao Fang is also his first girlfriend, also because they were too young at the time, the two didn't understand anything, and Hou Yan treated it as a joke when he grew up.
After he was kicked out of the house a few years ago, the two never contacted each other, not because they didn't want to contact, but because Hou Yan changed his mobile phone number, and neither of them had each other's contact information.
Dr. Li continued: "Last week, Xiaofang brought her students to my place for medical treatment, and accidentally learned that your mother was staying with me for medical treatment, and then she took care of the elderly in her free time and paid for the medical expenses for the past few months. ”
"Where is she now?"
"Upstairs, talk to your mother. ”
The most embarrassing thing now is Zhao Song, his own biological mother has been taken care of by an outsider, although they are all from the same village, everyone knows each other, and they are not outsiders, but it doesn't make sense to let Xiaofang take care of his mother.
Hou Yan walked in front, Zhao Song followed, he felt pressure at every step of the stairs, because he didn't know how to greet Xiaofang when he saw him, neither wanted to be too pretentious, nor too embarrassed, and his childhood memories came to his mind.
When he walked to the first floor and a half, Hou Yan saw Mrs. Zhao sitting on a white hospital bed and Xiao Fang in a simple teacher's uniform through the cracks in the stairs.
Mrs. Zhao leaned on the pillow, Xiao Fang held a bowl in her hand, which was the newly cooked millet porridge at home, spoonful by spoon fed to Mrs. Zhao's mouth, if her mouth was hot, she would blow it, the picture was too warm, causing Hou Yan to stop, and Zhao Song behind him hit Hou Yan's back headfirst.
Zhao Song followed Hou Yan's gaze and saw the two people in the ward, and the guilt once again raged in his heart.
"Monkey, go up!"
Hou Yan nodded, his eyes followed the movement of his body, but he never left Xiao Fang.
Xiaofang's name is Yu Fang, and now she is in Fu'an Village Primary School, she is an all-round teacher, why is it said to be an all-rounder, because there are three teachers in the entire primary school, three classes of low, middle and high schools, and each class will not exceed five students, even so, she still sticks to her post and selflessly dedicates her youth to these children.
Yu Fang's afterglow saw the two people who came up, she thought it was Dr. Li and another patient, and she didn't think about Zhao Song and Hou Yan.
Zhao Song walked quickly to the side of the hospital bed, touched Yu Fang, who was still feeding, and motioned for her to give her the rice bowl to herself, so that she could feed her mother.
Yu Fang was stunned when she saw Zhao Song, and the rice bowl in her hand was taken over by Zhao Song.
Her eyes widened, if one of the two people was Zhao Xiang, then the other person, could it be Hou Yan?
Yu Fang turned her head suddenly, just in time to see Hou Yan standing behind her with an embarrassed smile on her face, she smiled warmly and said, "You're back!"
Hou Yan responded: "Well, I'm back." ”
"How is Mama Zhao's body?" asked Hou Yan in order to avoid embarrassment.
Dr. Li said that there is no major problem for the time being, but it is better to go to the big hospital in the city for a check-up, after all, the capacity of this small health center is limited, and many symptoms cannot be solved. ”
"Then when I leave in two days, I will take Zhao's mother and Zhao Song to the hospital in the city. ”
Yu Fang's smile faded and asked, "Do you still want to leave?"
The two looked at each other, Yu Fang did not have any makeup on her face, the rare plain makeup made Hou Yan a little moved, her pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, bright as stars, seemed to light up her unique beauty, the simple ponytail hung behind her head, giving people a sense of tranquility and lack of desire.
Hou Yan didn't know how to answer, only he could see the trace of grievance in Yu Fang's eyes, a kind of grievance accumulated by the sun and the moon at that time.
Seeing that Hou Yan didn't speak, Yu Fang said softly, "Is it okay to go out for a walk with me?"
"Hmm. Hou Yan nodded slightly.
Zhao Song was concentrating on feeding the old man food over there, and he didn't notice the conversation between the other two.
Hou Yan put down the box in his hand and walked out of the clinic with Yu Fang, it was already close to evening, the sun was setting, and there was no street lamp in the village, which was completely lit by the lights in the farmhouse on the side of the road.
The two walked aimlessly side by side on the village road, Hou Yan didn't dare to look at Yu Fang beside him, and his heart was even more mixed.
"When did you come back?" Yu Fang was the first to open the topic.
"Today during the day. ”
"Are you home? Your father misses you very much. ”
"I know, have you been to my house?" Hou Yan was extremely ashamed when he heard this for the third time.
Yu Fang smiled: "My house is in front of your house, and I always go to your house to eat." She said that she was going to eat, but in fact, she brought some fruits and vegetables to visit the second elder every time.
"Hahaha, that's the case, you're still working in the village primary school?"
"Well, as long as there is one student in the village elementary school, I won't leave, and ......"
Hou Yan followed her words and asked, "And what?"
"I'm still waiting for someone. ”
Hou Yan was silent, he was not an emotional idiot like Ai Qing, he knew who the person in Yu Fang's mouth was referring to.
Although Hou Yan never gave Taifang any promises, it made him even more heartbroken, if he wasn't a thief, if Hou Zhiyuan hadn't kicked him out of the house, if he had honestly farmed at home, the two of them were estimated to have married and had children at this time, and the children would have made soy sauce, but everything was just if.
He now has other people in his heart, there was only Jiang Yulian before, and now there is Ai Qing again, the most hateful thing is that Ai Qing also picked up Liu Yun'er, so he can only hide Yu Fang in the depths of his heart as a good memory.
"Look, how round the moon is tonight!" Yu Fang suddenly pointed to the dark blue sky and said.
She continued: "Monkey, do you remember when we were a kid when we lay on the firewood stack and counted the stars?"
Hou Yan's past was mentioned, and his emotions became excited, and he said: "Of course I remember, I secretly learned to smoke as an adult, and almost lit the firewood, and my dad came home and beat me, if you weren't by your side, my dad would have broken my leg." ”
"Haha, I remember it quite clearly when I was beaten, have you quit smoking now?"
"Nope. ”
"Smoking is not good for your health, so let's quit. ”
The two fell silent again, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all, and they were both reminiscing about the unforgettable time they spent together.
