Zhou Xiaoan asked Zhou Xiaoxian to buy noodles, and the little girl next to him only swallowed loudly.

The food supply is extremely tight, and the bottom of the storehouse mixed with clods of soil and rat droppings has to be rushed, and even children who are sick cannot eat a small meal.

Coal mine hospitals have a policy of caring for mine workers. As more and more malnourished workers are allowed, the mine has specially approved a small amount of fine grain for severely malnourished patients, which can be purchased in the hospital canteen without food stamps with a medical certificate and a certificate issued by the hospital.

However, fine grains are so precious that they must be strictly controlled, and the vast majority of malnourished patients are not allowed to be hospitalized, but only allowed to go home to recuperate, and few people can enjoy this treatment.

Zhou Xiaoan had serious injuries and had to be hospitalized in order to enjoy this preferential treatment.

It may be that Zhou Xiaoan said it too naturally, with the attitude that Zhou Xiaoxian took care of her as a matter of course, Zhou Xiaoxian forgot what he was going to do for a while, and went out to buy her food and get bedding without any objection at all.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Xiaoxian reacted, and rushed back to complain to Zhou Xiaoan, "Old Han, why are you going to be a scoundrel!?" Leave you in the hospital and leave it alone? I don't send food, I don't take the covers, this is bullying no one in our family?! ”

Zhou Xiaoan didn't have any expression on her face, she knew in her heart that it would be more impressive to look pitiful at this time, but unfortunately she couldn't make any other expressions, so she could only continue to keep a wooden face, which coincided with Zhou Xiaoan's original style, "Sister, isn't this you, I don't have to starve and freeze when you come." ”

Zhou Xiaoxian was so angry that he stomped his feet, "The old Han family has your salary and food stamps!" Who don't you look for when you spend money?! You wait, I'll go back to my aunt, eldest brother, and second brother, don't smash the old Han family and treat them as no one in our family! ”

Her mother, Wang Lamei, once told her fortune, her children were weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to raise her children, so the children of the Zhou family called their mothers aunts.

"Good yellow flower girl marry them half-old man! What kind of demon are they doing? Why is it so black-hearted......" Zhou Xiaoxian walked out angrily, his mouth was not idle, Zhou Xiaoan looked at her back and didn't speak.

She has long seen clearly that Zhou Xiaoan is a little cabbage, and no one in her mother-in-law's family can rely on her.

Renting a set of bedding costs a dime, a bowl of noodle soup costs eight cents, and a poached egg is only two cents and three, and three cents and three cents can take good care of her, but this sister's first thought is to ask for money, so that her, a patient, can starve while sitting on a cold bare bed.

Zhou Xiaoan concentrated on exhaling and adjusting her breathing rate, which was a way she had been accustomed to relieving tension and stress over the years.

Now whether she is Zhou Anan or Zhou Xiaoan, the only one she can rely on is herself, and she must save herself.

Zhou Xiaoxian held his breath and prepared to go back to his parents' house to find someone to go to the Han family to ask for the guilt, and as soon as he walked to the door, he ran into Mrs. Han who had just rushed over.

Yesterday, Zhou Xiaoan was pushed downstairs by her and Han Xiaoshuang, Zhou Xiaoan was unconscious, and he also saw red below, Xiaoshuang was young and trembling with fright.

Mrs. Han kept an eye on her and didn't follow her to the hospital. I have to hurry up with the people in the building to get angry about this matter, if there are rumors that are not good for my daughter, it will delay finding my mother-in-law's house!

This morning, she went to her eldest daughter's house again, and arranged for Xiaoshuang to hide there after work in the next few days. The dead old woman of the old Zhou family is tricky and poisonous, maybe she can't make a fuss at home, but she can't let her see Xiaoshuang.

Mrs. Han's triangular eyes only glanced at Zhou Xiaoxian's face, and then she asked the doctor who came to check the ward.

"Doctor, has my eldest grandson been saved? As soon as I saw her red, I rushed to the hospital! ”

The bespectacled female doctor flipped through the case book in her hand and explained to Mrs. Han, "Auntie, I just took over the shift, your daughter-in-law is not my doctor, what is her bed?" I'll have to look it up. ”

Mrs. Han just came, how do you know what Zhou Xiao'an's bed is, "It was sent last night, and there was only a little blood in the lower body!" You've got to save my eldest grandson!" My eldest son is in his thirties before he has such a ......."

"Is it 12 beds?" The little nurse interrupted her chatter impatiently, "I had a miscarriage, and I finished curettage yesterday." ”

Old Lady Han and Zhou Xiaoxian were stunned at the same time.

Zhou Xiaoan was also stunned, after a night of restlessness, she felt an increasingly serious pain in her lower abdomen, and there was a smell of blood on her body that could not be ignored, and the bed board where she had sat all night was also printed with faint bloodstains.

She has lived for seventeen years, and in addition to seeing this kind of thing on the social news, she doesn't even understand what the curettage is all about.

Now that this matter suddenly fell on her like this, even if she still had a bystander attitude towards what Zhou Xiaoan had experienced before, she couldn't control her panic for a while.

Zhou Xiaoan pressed her cold hand to her lower abdomen, the sour pain became more and more obvious, and there was still a drip on her hand, and the yellow-brown rubber dropper shook uncontrollably with her trembling.

And Mrs. Han and Zhou Xiaoxian also had a quarrel.

"My eldest grandson! That's it! My son is in his thirties, and after it was easy to have one, he let this loser toss away! Mrs. Han patted her thighs and opened her posture and howled, scolding Zhou Xiaoan while howling:

"Losers! I know that when I pour things into my mother's house, the sow is not as good, and the cubs can't hold it! Wasted my 300 yuan and more than 100 catties of grain! It's better to change you than to change a pig! ”

Zhou Xiaoxian immediately jumped up and scolded, "Do you old Han family still want to be shameless?" Your whole family has lost their conscience! The half-old man who is almost forty years old marries the nineteen-year-old girl of our family, and you old lady takes that little shrew in your family to bully people all day long, and does not let my sister eat enough, either beating or scolding! I've been hospitalized! You still have the face to cry! You are abusing women! I'm going to sue you! ”

Mrs. Han stopped crying, got up from the ground and quarreled with Zhou Xiaoxian with fighting spirit in her eyes.

One of these two people is young, has good physical strength and a high voice, and the other has been a shrew all his life, and when they meet opponents in chess, the more noisy they are, the more excited they become, and they are about to fight together.

"Shut up!" The little nurse who followed the doctor shouted, her voice was bright and transparent, which shook the ears of the people in the ward, and successfully shut up the two of them.

The little nurse was obviously used to seeing such quarrels, and she was familiar with handling them, and pointed angrily at the two of them: "Get out of here and splash it!" Affecting doctors' ward rounds and delaying patients' recovery is to destroy the large-scale production in the mining area! Report to the mine to criticize your whole family! When the time comes, they will all go back to the countryside to farm! ”

Now that the country's food supply is tight, the population of cities and towns is being completely reduced, and several groups of people in the mines have been sent back to the countryside to farm.

"Okay, don't make any noise, go out and solve problems if you have them, and don't affect the patient's rest." The female doctor stepped forward to make a round again, and an elderly nurse pushed the two people who were arguing out of the room.

The doctor began to make rounds, and there was an intermittent quarrel between Zhou Xiaoxian and Mrs. Han in the corridor outside the door. There are too many such things in hospitals, as long as they are not excessive, doctors and nurses are too lazy to take care of them.

When Zhou Xiao'an's hospital bed was found, the nurse took the medical record book and reported to the female doctor who had just changed shifts, "concussion, fractured left forearm, severe malnutrition." ”

The female doctor checked Zhou Xiao'an's condition, looked at her bare bed with nothing, and frowned slightly, "Patients must pay attention to keeping warm and ensuring rest now, how can they be so frozen?" ”

The head nurse on duty yesterday explained to the doctor, "Her husband is an underground worker, and he went to the night shift yesterday when he was out of the emergency room, and he hasn't come here yet." ”

Most of the doctors and nurses have just changed shifts, and they don't know that the two people who are making a fuss outside the door are Zhou Xiaoan's family members.

The doctor nodded understandingly, not at all thinking that there was anything strange about the husband's behavior.

In this era, it is normal to sacrifice a small family for the sake of the revolutionary cause to take care of everyone, and the underground workers have a direct bearing on whether the production tasks on the mine can be completed, and that cannot be delayed at all.

Not to mention that the accompanying person has already been out of the emergency room, even if he is still rescuing, he should not be delayed at all.

The little nurse looked back and forth between the medical record book and Zhou Xiaoan several times, and her round eyes widened, "Husband? ”

Zhou Xiaoan was tossed by the doctors and nurses, and slowly recovered from the shock.

She had accepted the fact of the crossing, and it was easier for her to accept the miscarriage.

Anyway, Zhou Xiaoan's life is already like this, no matter how bad it is, she is not surprised.

She had been hit to the point of numbness.

She really can't go back, before waking up from this hospital bed, her last memory is waiting for Zhou's father to pick her up at the entrance of the mall, and in the backpack is a birthday gift for Zhou's mother, and the father and daughter are about to go to inspect the venue for the birthday party.

Then there was the roar of the collapse of a huge tower crane on the construction site next to her, and then a huge cement pier fell from the sky, and she was smashed to the ground.

Such a heavy giant smashed into her with a whistling wind, and she clearly knew that in that time and space, Zhou An'an was probably already a blurred mass of flesh and blood.

So after the initial astonishment and resistance, she had come to terms with the fact of crossing.

Since you can't go back, you can't sit still.

Zhou Xiaoan's hand on his lower abdomen trembled slightly, and the nervous cold sweat almost soaked through the thin and shabby cotton clothes, but the words he said were decent and calm:

"Comrade, my husband is busy with production in the mine and doesn't have time to come over to take care of him, can you make an exception and rent me a set of bedding first? The money will be given when he comes. We are all mine workers, and we will certainly not cause trouble to the hospital. ”

Zhou Xiaoan has no money, and he doesn't have a dime to rent a futon, let alone a deposit.

When she was not married, all her wages were handed over to Wang Lamei, and when she got married, Mrs. Han and Wang Lamei went to the financial department to receive her salary, and divided it on the spot, and she couldn't get a penny.

Doctors and nurses are very difficult, and they must pay a deposit to rent a bedding, which is not that they have no right to break it, but they cannot break it easily.

Anyone who enters the hospital has difficulties, not because they don't want to help, but because they are afraid of getting into trouble for themselves.

In these years, ordinary people who don't get married or have children don't have cotton tickets, and cloth tickets are even more scarce, only three feet six a year, and everyone lacks bedding.

It is not uncommon for the hospital to encounter cases of smuggling bedding home without paying a deposit, and in the end, it is the whole department that compensates the state property.

Zhou Anan knew that things would not be solved so easily, but he was not discouraged.

Their ancestral home of the Zhou family is in Peizhou, and they have been an old worker of the Peizhou Steel Mill since their grandfather, and their grandfather and two uncles also worked in the steel mill until they retired.

Even when she was in the worst state of mind, her curiosity about the world never died, so she liked to move a small bench quietly since she was a child, and sat next to them to listen to them talk about the things of her youth, and she was very familiar with the internal affairs of such a large state-owned unit.

In this era, the workers are the masters of the country, and this is not a vain slogan, but a real master.

Therefore, in the affiliated hospital of your own unit, as long as it is operated properly, you can do it without money.
