Chapter 4: Fever
Finding that Ruoxi was not injured, the stupid daddy laughed again, he probably forgot that he was injured.
When they were about to get home, the two happened to meet the grandmother who came home from work, and the grandmother saw the two of them with a dirty face, and saw the stupid father who was limping away, and complained:
"What are you two doing, making it dirtier than the people I work in the field, there is really no one to worry about."
Ruoxi told her grandmother the ins and outs of the matter with a crying voice, and her grandmother accused him without finding out about Daddy's injury:
"Didn't you ask you to take care of Ruoxi, why are you messing around with you when you're so old?"
Silly Daddy held his hands and lowered his head, looked at his hands with a solemn expression, and didn't say anything.
Later, when grandma saw a big piece of skin rubbed off on Silly Daddy's elbow, she didn't continue to accuse, but found cigarette ash to help Silly Daddy smear it on the wound, blowing while applying.
Grandma loves her granddaughter and loves her son even more.
The silly daddy, who had smeared the wound, carefully took out two peaches from his clothes pocket, one for grandma and the other for Ruoxi.
Seeing Peach's grandmother crying and laughing.
Ruoxi smiled when he saw the peach.
Looking at grandma and Ruoxi's silly daddy, he smiled.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, grandma went to work in the field again, and there were only two people in the house, Silly Daddy and Ruoxi.
Maybe it was due to the cool breeze blowing in the river the day before, Ruoxi suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she walked in front of the stupid daddy, and said weakly:
"Silly daddy, I'm so dizzy."
The stupid daddy who was feeding the chickens immediately put down the food bowl in his hand, picked up Ruoxi and touched his forehead, and then rubbed Ruoxi's forehead with his face, just like grandma usually touched him, his forehead was hot.
The stupid daddy who endured the pain held Ruoxi and strode forward, limping and twisting his body to walk out of the hospital.
Silly Daddy carried Ruoxi to the village health center, which was next to the barber shop.
No one knows how the stupid daddy, who usually doesn't know the way, came to the health center.
As soon as you enter the door of the health center, you can see three simple single beds side by side, and on the middle bed lies Teacher Liu, who is hanging salt water.
Mr. Liu teaches in the village, so everyone calls him Mr. Liu.
Teacher Liu's wife can't have children, the village flower of the village, Shen Cunhua, is his lover, he and his lover have an illegitimate child, and Yufan is their illegitimate child, these are all open secrets in the village.
Mr. Liu's wife is a cotton player, and her surname is Zhang, so she is called Zhang Mian, and Zhang Mian is Zhang Milber's younger sister.
Once, Zhang Mian had just returned home from playing cotton, and happened to meet Teacher Liu and Shen Cunhua having a private meeting in bed.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mian was so frightened that he stood outside the door, as if he was the one who made the mistake.
She could only listen to the joy of her husband and another woman's bed through the door.
The two of them who stole the fishy stuff looked like they were nothing, and the fierce Teacher Liu looked at Zhang Mian with fierce eyes, pointed at her and scolded:
"I almost delayed Lao Tzu's business just now, do you know? You, an old hen that can't lay eggs for thousands of years, have eaten Lao Tzu for so many years, what's the use of you? β
Mr. Liu, this is obviously a bit of a wicked person suing first.
Shen Cunhua on the side looked at Zhang Mian with contempt and sneered:
"What has become of the thousand-year-old hen? Aren't they all old goblins? β
Shen Cunhua covered her mouth and snickered, and the laughter made goosebumps come out.
Poor Zhang Mian felt that he was at a loss and lived a humble life, so he could only beg to turn a blind eye.
Once a person lives a humble life, he will have no self-esteem, once he has no self-esteem, he will have no freedom, and once he has no freedom, he will have no self.
Shen Cunhua is the most coquettish and watery Yang Hua woman in the village, likes to scratch her head in front of men, divorced and single, and likes to rub mahjong.
I don't know what benefits Teacher Liu gave her, so she was willing to give birth to an illegitimate child to Teacher Liu.
At the door of the clinic, there is a desk with paint peeled against the wall, and there is a barefoot doctor sitting next to the desk, everyone calls him Dr. Wang, and there is a wooden stool on the left side of Dr. Wang, which is specially used to sit for injections.
There are often children who climb up to the high stool curiously, and they will be scolded by Dr. Wang:
"Little rabbit cub go down, don't go down and give you a shot!"
Children will jump down from it in fright, and if some children jump and fall, Dr. Wang will sneer at them.
The village is all well-known, and the penniless stupid daddy and Ruoxi can see a doctor first and then give money.
Dr. Wang is an arrogant person, with a big shelf, relying on his ability to treat diseases and save people, he doesn't pay attention to anyone, not even the village chief.
Every time the village chief summoned the most prominent figures in the village to hold a discussion meeting, he would refuse to participate for various reasons, saying that he was a very busy person and the village chief could not do anything about him.
Once, when a villager who had suffered from heat stroke was lying unconscious in the field, and when his family asked him to go out for medical treatment at the health center, he did not hesitate and cruelly refused:
"It's so hot, how can I get out? You just have to carry him here. β
No matter how much the family members of the heatstroke villagers pleaded, they could not impress him, so the family had to brave the sun and sweat on the shoulders of the heatstroke villagers to the health center.
The family members who have no other way to be angry and dare not speak out.
Relying on a person who has some ability, not using his own ability to help others, but using his own ability to suppress others, such a person will not be respected by people, and will be abandoned by people sooner or later.
Seeing the tired and sweaty and panting stupid daddy hugging Ruoxi, Dr. Wang asked the silly daddy to put Ruoxi on the bed, and then asked very calmly:
"What's wrong?"
The stupid daddy who couldn't say it pointed to Ruoxi's forehead and vomited for a long time.
Dr. Wang said impatiently:
"How can anyone see a doctor like you, like you, then I won't become Hua Tuo in the world?"
Doctor Wang showed a pretentious expression, he wouldn't really think he was Hua Tuo, would he?
Teacher Liu on the side said smugly:
"I think I have a fever."
Hanging salt water could not stop Mr. Liu's smugness.
Dr. Wang glanced at Mr. Liu and thought:
"Do you want to talk more?"
Doctor Wang skillfully took out the mercury thermometer from the iron and steel and shook it, quickly inserted it into Ruoxi's armpit, and then told the stupid father:
"'Can't eat enough', hold Ruoxi's arm for ten minutes and don't move, if you move, you can't measure it."
The sweaty stupid daddy nodded respectfully, he didn't dare to slack off.
The silly daddy, who has always been calm and composed, has no smile on his face, only panic and anxiety, which has never been seen on the face of the silly daddy.
Listening to Dr. Wang's instructions, the stupid father pressed Ruoxi's shoulder motionlessly, as stable and solemn as a statue.
Weak and listless, Ruoxi lay on the bed without moving.
After a while, Dr. Wang took out the thermometer and raised it high to look at it again.
Silly Big Daddy also looked up at it, as if he could understand it.
"Ah, the burn is not light, what are you doing?" Doctor Wang squinted at the stupid daddy in a frightened tone.
The stupid daddy showed a guilty look, nodded, shook his head again, and suddenly stopped talking.
With a smug look on his face, Dr. Wang continued:
"It's so hot that you hang the salt water, if you don't hang the salt water, you will burn as stupid as you, then it's troublesome!"
The tireless teacher Liu echoed approvingly:
"Yes, yes, yes, if you burn as stupid as you, you will be in trouble, it will be difficult to get married and have children in the future, and it will not be so pitiful even to study!"
Hearing the words of the two, the silly daddy became even more cramped and panicked, and broke out in a cold sweat, even so, his eyes never left Ruoxi on the bed from beginning to end.
Then, with a serious expression, Dr. Wang said:
"'Can't eat', hold her arm, I'm going to get ready for an injection."
Ruoxi, who heard that he was going to get an injection, seemed to be cured, and suddenly came to his senses, crying in fright, and was unwilling to cooperate.
Seeing the stupid daddy who was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to do it, Dr. Wang continued to sneer and scolded:
"If you don't hang the salt water, you'll be as stupid as you."
Teacher Liu echoed like a parrot:
"Yes, if you don't hang the salt water, you'll be as stupid as you."
The stupid daddy who loves Ruoxi very much can't stand the scare of the two. He held Ruoxi with difficulty and reluctantly, and the young Ruoxi didn't know where he got the strength to writhe his whole body and struggle, and broke free from the stupid daddy who was extremely powerful several times.
Seeing this, Doctor Wang roared angrily:
"Hold it, if you don't want to be as stupid as you, hold it."
"Hold it, if you don't want to be as stupid as you, hold it." Teacher Liu is like a parrot.
Under the left and right bows of Dr. Wang and Mr. Liu, the stupid daddy who has never cared about other people's words and eyes is not calm this time.
The nervous stupid daddy was at a loss.
People who no longer care about other people's words, who no longer care about the eyes of others, when facing the people they love most, these abilities seem to be invalid and have no effect.
In the end, Mr. Liu, who really couldn't stand it, directly pressed Ruoxi's arm, he always had the heart to endlessly, and seemed to have completely forgotten that he was also hanging salt water.
After several struggles, Dr. Wang, who finally succeeded in the injection, looked at Ruoxi and the stupid daddy with disdain, sat back at his desk, and scolded in his mouth:
"What the hell, I'm sweating all the time, and I haven't had so much trouble injecting animals!"
Teacher Liu flatteringly said to Dr. Wang:
"Eliminate the gas, you should inject the animals."
The corners of Dr. Wang's mouth twitched and he smiled, and Mr. Liu also smiled obscenely.
The silly daddy with moist eyes looked at Ruoxi with distress, and in Ruoxi's impression, this was the first time he had seen the silly daddy shed tears.
During the hanging water, except for a few glances at the salt water bottle, the silly daddy's eyes never left Ruoxi, and he sat quietly beside Ruoxi like a statue.
After hanging the salt water, the sweaty Ruoxi fever finally subsided, and his spirit was much better.
The stupid daddy staggered home with Ruoxi on his back, and Ruoxi, who was lying on the back of the silly daddy, fell asleep comfortably as if lying in the cradle.
The sunset shone on the two harmonious people, on the wide fields, on the paths between each other, and on the clear riverβ’β’β’β’β’β’
The source of the peace, joy, and joy of all things in nature is like the followers of the two, so that everything around them is moved, and people forget the existence of everything around them.
