Chapter 51: Abandoned Babies at the Station
We arrived at Jiangcheng Railway Station at exactly two o'clock, and my wife and I accompanied Ruxuan to buy a hard sleeper at half past seven in the evening, and arrived at noon the next day.
I was soaking in urine for a long time, and my stomach hurt a little as if it was uncomfortable.
I went to the bathroom at the train station, and there were people in the squatting pit, and I finally waited until one person went out, and I went in.
It was released happily, and the whole body was much more relaxed.
At this time, I noticed that there was a large leatherette bag in the compartment, which should have been dropped by the person just now.
I figured that if he didn't come back in a while, I'd take it to the station desk and ask him to come back and claim it.
Suddenly, something seemed to be moving in the bag, making a meow like a cat, and like a baby's cry, and the voice was very weak.
I couldn't help but open the bag, and sure enough, there was a baby in the bag, crying weakly.
I think, there are still people who are so careless? Forgot all your kids?
I quickly stood up with my hands clean and tied my pants.
I took the baby out, and it seemed to be a baby under a month, with a bag in hand, coming out of the bathroom.
Shi Niang or Ruxuan were very surprised when they saw a baby in my arms, and they asked, "Where did the child come from?" ”
I said, "I don't know which one of them I picked up in the toilet and lost all the children?"
Shi Niang took the baby and tried the child's face with her hand: "This child is feverish, sick, and has no strength to cry." ”
At this time, Ruxuan found a note in the bag containing the baby, took it out and looked at it, and there were a few lines written crookedly on it:
Well-wishers, we have flowed (waved) here, the child was born (just) old, sick, his mother has no milk (water), we have no money to give him a bridge (look), Ma anti (annoying) you send a hair fan (kind) heart, give him a way to live.
Come to be (the world), we do cattle and horses in the newspaper (answer) you.
Child's birthday on the night of October 20.
I'm stupid, it's the superborn guerrillas who deliberately left the outcast, and it's a sick child.
I looked at the big bag and it was empty.
I looked at my wife: "Shall I send him to the service desk?" ”
Shi Niang said: "This is not a lost item, they will not accept it." ”
I said, "What then?" Shall you send it to a children's welfare home? There I know. ”
The child was still crying, and the teacher said that he should be hungry, so let's buy some milk powder first and feed him full.
Ruxuan looked at the baby like a sick cat, her eyes were red: "There are still such ruthless parents in the world, just give birth, don't care about raising." ”
Shi Niang sighed: "You don't know the difficulties of the poor, in the past years when disasters occurred, I don't know how many parents threw their children on the side of the road and fled the famine."
"It's not that his parents are ruthless, he may have a way to live, just like this child."
Ruxuan stored her two bags, and we hurried to the store to buy milk powder bottles.
Soon found a big store, I bought the best Songhuajiang brand milk powder, a bottle.
Shi Niang asked the salesman for some boiling water, brewed a bottle of milk powder, shook and blew, and fed him when it was cold.
Ruxuan picked out two sets of baby clothes, diapers, and a baby's quilt, the swaddling clothes were too dirty and smelly.
The teacher just touched the nipple of the bottle to the baby's mouth.
The baby was so hungry that he immediately sucked.
Ruxuan's eyes were red again: "Mom, this child is sick, you can't cure him if you take him back, don't send him to the welfare home, he's so pitiful!" ”
Shi Niang nodded: "Since we picked it up, this child is here to find us." ”
The baby quickly fed up and ate most of the bottle.
The teacher opened the baby's swaddling clothes, and there was no bare clothes in it, and the color of the patient's egg yolk and the protruding umbilical eye seemed to be not light!
It's a baby boy.
When the baby is full, he doesn't cry anymore and comes down quietly.
The teacher padded him with a diaper, put on the newly bought clothes, and re-wrapped him in a quilt, and the old package was packed in a large bag and thrown next to the trash can on the side of the road.
I flagged down a taxi and said, "Excuse me, let's go to Jiangnan College." ”
Jiangnan Medical College was at Jiangcheng Normal University, and we saw the master waiting for us at the gate from afar.
He was also surprised when he saw the baby in Shi Niang's arms, and Shi Niang explained to him for a while.
The master said, "I have already reported to you, and the tuition has been paid, so you can register tomorrow." Some people have already come, old men and old women, what do you think? ”
Shi Niang looked at the baby in her arms, thought for a while and said: I won't go back, this child is sick, I will hospitalize him here.
"I can report to him tomorrow and take care of him while studying.
"You guys go back, there can't be no one at home, just leave me some living expenses, and let Pi Yang bring my change of clothes in two days."
The master paid a thousand yuan, and the child also needed money to see a doctor.
In the pediatric department of the medical school, we had an examination, and soon we were able to admit the child: the child was born prematurely, malnourished, and there was neonatal jaundice.
It was already half past three, and the master asked the master and us to go back first, and we had to rush back, because it was too late and there was no car.
The master said, "You can only go to Jingxi first."
Wanqing said: "I am in the car at half past seven, I am here to accompany my mother, and it is too late to leave at half past six." Big, you give your child a name! ”
The master stroked his beard and said, "Your brother's name is Pi Yang, this child has suffered since birth, I hope he will have a smoother road in the future, and he will no longer be depressed, it will be called not suppressed." ”
Ruxuan said: "Hu is not suppressed, not suppressed, the depressed depression is too tongue-twisting, and that's it, since it is not easy for him to give birth, it is called Hu Buyi!" ”
Shi Niang continued: "Hu Buyi is also tongue-twisting, you and your sister have the same surname as you, this child will follow my surname, it is not easy to call Shangguan, and the nickname is Hu Maomao, the cheap name is easy to raise!" ”
Shangguan is not easy, this name is elegant and good, we all agree.
It was already past six o'clock when we arrived in Jingxi, and there was no car. After dinner, I opened a room near the station, and there was no hot water to bathe, so I washed and rested with a thermos of water.
There was no television, and the master meditated cross-legged on the bed.
I said, "Why don't you go to town and ask?" What are the procedures for opening a medical center? ”
The master said: "I know this, the boss of Chunhengtang who I visited last time is the one who runs a Chinese medicine clinic and pharmacy.
"First go to the county health bureau for the record, and then go to the industrial and commercial office to apply for a business license.
"It's not enough to have a "drug business license" and a business license;
"There are no less than 300 varieties of Chinese herbal medicines in the clinic, and there must be a medicine cabinet and a separate pharmacy.
"The consultation rooms must be separated independently, and it is enough to have tables and consultation beds, which is simpler than Western medicine clinics."
I thought for a moment and said, "It's relatively simple for the master to say this, so we can prepare now."
The master asked, "How to prepare?"
I said, "Let's go through the formalities first, and at the same time renovate the house and medical center, the room where grandma lives will not move for the time being, and you can also go upstairs to live, and now grandma can go upstairs."
"After the new house is built, my grandmother can move to the back. The hall is used as a consultation room, and a whole bed can be placed, and if the grandmother moves upstairs, that room can be used as a consultation room for patients.
"There are now three rooms upstairs, you can live with your sister and grandma, and I live in a small room next to the kitchen."
The master said, "If you say that, it's really okay."
I said, "Then let's go back and get ready."
