"Grandma Wu, you walk slowly" Xia Lan felt that her current body was too bad, she would be wheezing if she walked faster, and she would have to exercise hard in the future.

Grandma Wu glanced at Xia Lan: "You are young, why are you so weak, and you will be there right away"

Xia Lan complained in her heart: I haven't had a good rest for a day, and besides, the original owner's body is already weak, and I know that Grandma Wu is worried about her grandson, so I have to follow quickly.

The hospital is a few bungalows, and there is a piece of white-painted wood hanging on the right side of the door, which reads in red: Kaiyang County People's Hospital, after entering, there are not as many people in the registration queue as the later hospitals, only a few medical personnel are seen, and there are not many people who see a doctor. In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, it is good to grab a home remedy to eat at home for minor diseases, but it is not possible to cure serious diseases without medicine and medical equipment in hospitals, and the other medical cost is also high, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

When I came to the ward, I saw Grandma Wu's little grandson lying on the hospital bed, a woman wearing a blue lapel jacket sat on the edge of the bed holding the child's hand, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, I thought it was Grandma Wu's daughter-in-law, because there were other people in the ward, Grandma Wu directly pulled her son outside and said about the medicine, and the man was surprised after hearing it: "Really? That's great! "I took the medicine and went straight to the doctor.

When Director Wu went to the doctor, Xia Lan told Grandma Wu that she had a special medicine for reducing fever quickly, which could be fed to her grandson, and asked Grandma Wu to find a small spoon to come over, and then poured some ibuprofen suspension for the child to feed, Grandma Wu and her daughter-in-law were very grateful to Xia Lan.

The doctor came to use the medicine and said, "When the fever subsides, stay in the hospital for observation for one night, and you can be discharged tomorrow." After speaking, he glanced at Deputy Director Wu and went out.

Director Wu glanced at Xia Lan and said, "Little comrade, let's talk here" and then walked out.

Director Wu asked, "Little comrade, how do you know that my family needs this medicine?" ”

"I've heard"

"Where did you get your medicine?"

"The medicine has already been used for your son, why do you ask so much?" Xia Lan said angrily, what's the matter? Do you still want to set her old bottom?

"No, don't get me wrong, I want to ask you if you still have that medicine? If I have one, I'll ask for another box," Director Wu said hurriedly.

Xia Lan looked at him and asked, "A box of seven sticks, five yuan each, are you sure to buy two boxes?" I don't owe anything," she learned when she bought it, this kind of medicine has not yet been developed in this time and space, and it is all imported or traded on the black market in Hong Kong, and the price is more than gold, and she has discounted it several times.

Director Wu choked, his family of seven wanted him to feed, and his usual salary was only thirty-five yuan, six cents and seven, how could he save much money? The money for this medicine is really not expensive, he inquired about the current black market is twenty-one, this box will cost him a month's salary, he led a child with pneumonia to go to the city hospital, if he can get the medicine, he will definitely be able to go up, but where to get money is a problem.

In the end, Director Wu said that he was willing to arrange a job for her in the food factory, pay for the medicine first, and owe another box first, and then pay her back in installments.

Wouldn't she be exposed? But Xia Lan thought that his brother was seventeen years old, and he should get married in two years, who would like to marry their family if the family was so poor, and it would be easy to find a partner if he had a regular job, and by the way, reduce the burden on the family, perfect! If you are asked, you will say that you bought it with money, and you will not admit anything else.

"Okay!" Xia Lan reluctantly embarrassed, and then said the name of her brother's Meng Xiaolei.

Then I waited in the hospital for Director Wu to open the receipt certificate, and waited for about 40 minutes before Director Wu came back, and she went back after receiving the certificate letter and the money and medicine.

It was already dark when Xia Lan hadn't reached the village yet, she saw that there seemed to be someone in front of her, and before she could get closer, she heard her brother's voice: "Is it Xiaomei?" ”

Xia Lan hurriedly took out the prepared things from the space and said, "Brother, it's me, why are you here?" ”

Meng Xiaolei approached and took the things in Xia Lan's hand and said, "You haven't come back so late, our mother doesn't worry about letting me pick you up, have you found a job in the county today?" ”

Xia Lan replied: "I didn't find it"

"It's okay, I'll take a look at it more in the future, maybe I'll be able to meet the recruitment." Hearing her mother say that his sister went to the county seat to find a job today, he felt that it must be difficult to find, he heard that many people in the city did not have jobs, and it was not surprising to hear that his sister did not find a job, but comforted her.

Xia Lan wanted to say: But I found you a job, but I still held back, and planned to go home to surprise them.

After entering the village, in addition to hearing the barking of dogs in the village, it is still very quiet, there is no entertainment in this era, there is no electricity, the lighting is all by kerosene lamps, and even candles are reluctant to buy, so they go to bed early after dark.
