Zhaojia Village, which has beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, is a village with mixed surnames, but the reason why it is called Zhaojia Village is naturally because there are the most people with the surname Zhao in the village, accounting for almost half of the families in the village.

Zhao Shuxin is an ordinary farmer in Zhaojia Village, his ancestors have lived in the village for generations, and he has been living in the village like his father, living until he is about 40 years old, and the farthest place he has ever been to is only the county seat.

Zhao Shuxin planned to go to the big hospital in the county to see a doctor, but he was not feeling well and could not be found in the town's health center, so the doctor suggested that he go to the county to see a doctor. He has been reluctant to spend money to go to the county seat, this time he dragged it until he couldn't hold it before running to the county seat, he lived half his life, and the number of times he went to the county seat was only a handful.

Zhao Shuxin refused to be accompanied by his family in order to save money, and registered in the hospital alone to pay the fee and wait, and when he completed all the examinations and waited for the results, the doctor asked his family if they had come together. His brain "boomed", and he instantly understood that he must be seriously ill before the doctor wanted to ask his family, and his heart was extremely nervous, afraid that the doctor would pronounce him a death sentence.

"Doctor, no." Zhao Shuxin nervously touched seventy percent of the new clothes on his body with his rough big hands, which he bought in the year he got married.

The doctor took a look at Zhao Shuxin, the clothes were clean and neat, but unfortunately the style was outdated, and the shoes on his feet were the cheapest Jiefang brand rubber shoes, his hands were rough and deformed, and his nails were filled with dirt.

The doctor held his glasses, there was no family member to accompany him, the results of the examination were not optimistic, he had to organize his language before speaking, so as not to irritate the patient.

"Zhao Shuxin, your examination results have come out, your disease is not easy to treat, if you want to be cured, go to a big hospital to have a look." The doctor is not shirking, but self-aware, he really can't do anything about a disease like Zhao Shuxin, and the hardware facilities of their hospital are not enough.

"Doctor, what's wrong with me?" Zhao Shuxin took the medical record book and the diagnosis book and did not read the contents on it. He barely knew a few hundred words in the third grade of primary school, and he could understand what was written in the diagnosis book.

"Your disease is more troublesome, schistosomiasis and liver ascites, you have to treat it as soon as possible." The doctor frowned and replied that he was accustomed to life and death, and he did not want to see patients who were not well treated.

"Doctor, how much does it cost to be cured? Where are you going to a big hospital? For Zhao Shuxin, the county hospital is already a big hospital, and he is reluctant to spend money on the health center in the town, where can he dare to think of a bigger hospital.

"I'm afraid that your illness will not have much effect when you go to the city, and it is better to go to the provincial city for treatment if you have money at home, I can't say how much it will cost, anyway, it's not cheap, at least you have to prepare a few thousand." There was a hint of sympathy in the doctor's eyes, and the first thing he did was to ask for money, such a patient did not need to ask, and he must be in poor condition at home.

"Doctor, can you help me prescribe some medicine first, just prescribe some painkillers." Zhao Shuxin's face turned white with fright when he heard that it was a few thousand years bigger. He can only earn a few hundred yuan by working hard to cultivate land for a year, and where can his family have thousands of yuan.

"Painkillers can't be prescribed casually, prescribe the right medicine for you first, and go to a big hospital for treatment as soon as possible!"

"Doctor, why do you want me to go to a big hospital when you have medicine?" Zhao Shuxin didn't want to go to the provincial capital for treatment, and he couldn't bear the cost of the road alone.

"Your condition is complicated, I can only control it temporarily, and if you want to be cured, you still have to go to a big hospital." The doctor doesn't want to admit that his skills are not as good as others, but he can be good for the patient, and some things still have to be made clear.

"Doctor, you prescribe me more medicine, I don't have time to go to the provincial capital now." Zhao Shuxin said that the farmer is busy and the family is inseparable from people, the doctor nodded understandingly, and after prescribing the medicine, he told him again that he must go to the provincial capital as soon as possible to see a doctor.

"Thank you, doctor, I know." Zhao Shuxin bowed his head and thanked the doctor.

Zhao Shuxin came out of the hospital and rushed to the bus station with a bag of medicine. The dilapidated minibus is crowded with people, things are crowded, and some people bring chickens and ducks on the bus, the whole carriage is full of all kinds of peculiar smells, and the effect of opening the windows is not great, and the air is still unpleasant.

There was no place to stay on the car, the driver still wanted to have a few more guests, the conductor desperately pushed people in, and Zhao Shuxin was almost squeezed down.

"Master, the door can't be closed, don't get on the passengers, those who can't get on the next shift!" The straight-minded passengers shouted out directly, not everyone was as honest and easy to talk as Zhao Shuxin.

"Squeeze it, please squeeze it, it's all people in the car, everyone helps each other." The conductor began to say nice things to everyone.

Zhao Shuxin was pushed in again by the conductor, and this time he grabbed the armrest on the back of the seat in time to avoid falling.

The patched minibus drove on the gravel road that was worse than the car, bumping all the way, encountering potholes every few tens of meters, and everyone in the car could feel the vibration up and down.

Zhao Shuxin almost threw up in the car, he was so frightened by the roar of the conductor that he didn't dare to vomit, and he had to be fined for spitting once, he was reluctant to pay. The first thing he did when he got out of the car was to squat down and rest. He vomited for a while, only exhaled a few mouthfuls of turbidity, touched his chest and was no longer depressed, and then slowly walked home, thinking about how to tell his family about his illness all the way.

When Zhao Shuxin entered the door, there was no one else at home, so he put the medicine and medical records back into the house, and decided to hide the illness from the child in advance.

"When did you come back, what did the doctor say?" Qian Manzhi went home and saw the door open, knowing that the man in the family had returned.

Zhao Shuxin put down the fishing net that was being mended in his hand: "The doctor said that if you want to be cured, it is best to go to the provincial capital, I asked, going to the provincial capital alone costs thousands of yuan for medical expenses, as well as money for food and drink on the road, how can the family get so much money, just treat it in the county." ”

"Thousands! What disease costs so much money? The towel in Qian Manzhi's hand slid down the basin from his hand.

"The doctor said schistosomiasis and hepatic ascites."

"How did you get this disease?" Qian Manzhi couldn't understand these words either.

"I don't know, the doctor said a lot, and I didn't understand it." Zhao Shuxin tried hard to recall what the doctor said, but he couldn't say why.

Qian Manzhi wiped his face and asked with a hint of hesitation: "There is still food at home, or if it is all sold, let's go to the provincial capital to have a look." ”

"Look at what! Lele still has to go to school, she is about to take the high school entrance examination, she doesn't need money to go to school? Besides, what's the use of the little food at home, it's not enough to pay for medical treatment if it's all sold, so why waste money. Zhao Shuxin had already decided not to go to the provincial capital to see a doctor.

"If the money is not enough, we will borrow a little more, and I will go back to my parents' house to think of a way, and I can't help but treat the disease." Qian Manzhi's eyes were full of worry.

"It's the same for me in the county, why waste money in a big hospital, everything is expensive in a big city, the powder in the county town is more expensive than in the town, and the things in the provincial city are definitely more expensive. You hurry up and cook, I'm hungry for a long time. Zhao Shuxin didn't want to discuss the topic of going to the provincial capital for treatment.

Qian Manzhi wanted to persuade him again, but when he heard that he was hungry, he decided to cook first and discuss the matter of seeing a doctor later. She cooked the meal, and mentioned the treatment at the dinner table, she still hoped that Zhao Shuxin would go to the provincial hospital to have a look.
