Chapter 130

The person who was discussing hot and sour noodles with everyone 20 minutes ago fainted as soon as he got home. Everyone who heard it was moved - how strong must the willpower be to act so calmly during the discussion just now? !

Li Hongliang and his wife felt so guilty that they had to accompany Xia Juhua to the hospital. They thought that if Xia Juhua had not been thinking about talking to them about hot and sour noodles, but had gone home to rest directly, she would not have fainted from exhaustion.

But the jeep was so small, and Xia Juhua's condition was unknown so she could only lie down, and there was no room for so many people. Uncle Qi remembered that Liu Zhishuang could drive a tractor, so he asked him to go back to Ping'an Village quickly to drive the tractor, and Li Hongliang and his partner took Liu Zhishuang's tractor to the hospital.

He took the co-pilot seat in place of Liu Zhishuang and immediately ordered the driver to go directly to the county hospital. The Red Star Commune did have a clinic, but the level of the doctors there was definitely not as good as that of the county hospital.

How big is a county town? Uncle Qi was born and raised in Pingde County. The doctor in the emergency department recognized him at a glance. This is the director of the county revolutionary committee. How could the patient he personally sent to be an ordinary person?

So several doctors on duty gathered around Xia Juhua for a consultation and concluded that she had fallen into a coma because she had a severe cold and didn't get enough rest, as well as hunger-induced hypoglycemia.

As soon as the diagnosis results came out, it was Uncle Qi who took the blame: it was because he was in a hurry to return to Pingde County and deal with the matter of the military personnel as soon as possible that Xia Juhua missed the celebration banquet. And because she fell asleep on the way, Uncle Qi simply let the driver drive all the way back to Pingde County, and several of them had not eaten for two meals.

I thought there would be something to eat when I returned to Ping'an Village, but Xia Juhua was impatient and asked to meet two comrades from the army first. Once we started discussing, we forgot about time and didn't even think about eating. We were so hungry that we fainted.

Fortunately, soon after the infusion, Xia Juhua's face looked better. Even though she was not awake yet, they were relieved. Liu Zhiquan asked Uncle Qi to go home and rest first: "Director Qi, you have been running all day and you haven't eaten yet. You should go home and eat something and rest. Otherwise, you will get sick from exhaustion and the people in the county will not agree."

The driver also helped to persuade them. Uncle Qi knew that his stay here was useless, so he left the ward. He met Liu Zhishuang who had arrived later in front of the hospital.

"I think we should give Comrade Xia Juhua a few days to rest, and then study the issue of supplies after she recovers from her illness." Uncle Qi knew that the army was committed to quick decisions, so after introducing Xia Juhua's situation, he discussed this with Li Hongliang.

Li Hongliang nodded repeatedly: "Of course. We didn't expect Captain Xia to... It's all our fault for being too impatient. We forgot the time when we started discussing. Director Qi, don't worry, Captain Xia is not well, we will not discuss this matter with her again."

Liu Zhishuang couldn't stand still. Hearing that his mother had been given an IV, he ran to the hospital ward regardless of what Li Hongliang and the others said. Li Hongliang and the others saw this and hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Qi and ran in with him.

"Oh." Uncle Qi sighed to himself, wondering if he had pushed Xia Juhua too hard, which caused her to get so angry that her condition worsened. He really hoped that he could do something to make up for it.

In fact, when Uncle Qi sent Xia Juhua to the hospital today, his treatment had been greatly improved: she was not sent to a crowded large ward, nor was she made to wait in the emergency room until a department confirmed her condition and admitted her to the hospital the next day. Instead, she was directly arranged in a single ward, and there was a nurse who was specifically responsible for taking care of Xia Juhua.

"Brother, is mom awake?" Under the guidance of the nurse, Liu Zhishuang found the single ward. When he saw Liu Zhiquan, the first thing he asked was whether his mother was awake.

Liu Zhiquan shook his head with red eyes: "Not yet, but the doctor said that after mother is given an IV, she will be fine if she eats something after she wakes up."

Wang Caifeng was a little worried: "Where can I get food for my mother in the middle of the night? I was so busy getting money for you that I forgot to bring food coupons." No one would have thought that Xia Juhua, who was out for a meeting, would be hungry.

Li Hongliang, who had just entered the hospital, hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, most hospitals have cafeterias. I brought my food coupons and will go see if the cafeteria is still open."

Liu Zhishuang grabbed him and said, "Comrade, let me go."

Liu Zhiquan saw that his brother's body was shaking like sieve bran, and he knew that he was very frozen while driving the tractor - tractors do not have cabins like cars, and the people sitting in the cabin can cover themselves with quilts to keep warm, but the person driving the car can only freeze.

So Liu Zhiquan firmly stopped Liu Zhishuang and asked him to warm up first, and then he left the ward to ask the nurse where the canteen was and whether he needed food coupons to buy food. Unfortunately, the nurse told him that the canteen was closed at this time and he had to wait until 6:30 tomorrow to get food.

After returning to the ward and explaining the situation, Liu Zhishuang walked out the door trembling: "I'll go find Brother Qi and think of a solution."

They didn't know many people in the county town, and Liu Zhiquan didn't know where Qi Weidong lived, so Liu Zhishuang had to find him. So he didn't bother Liu Zhishuang anymore, but put his coat on his brother and told him to drive the tractor slowly - now it didn't matter whether it disturbed people's rest or not, it was more important to let his mother have a cup of hot porridge.

When Xia Juhua woke up the next day, she felt a throbbing pain in both temples. She hissed. Wang Caifeng, who had been standing by her side, asked hurriedly, "Mom, you're awake. What's wrong with you?"

Xia Juhua was puzzled. Why did Wang Caifeng come to her room? Did she oversleep today and she came to call her to eat? She looked around and saw that the white ceiling was not hers. Xia Juhua turned her head to Wang Caifeng and asked, "Where is this? Why are you here?"

As soon as I started speaking, I felt as if my throat was on fire, and I had to use some strength to force the sound out of my throat.

As soon as Wang Caifeng heard her voice, she handed the water that had been drying to her mouth. The water was neither hot nor cold. Xia Juhua drank the whole glass of water before she felt her throat felt better.

Now she could see that she was in the hospital, so she asked, "Why are you in the hospital again?"

"Mom, you scared us to death." Wang Caifeng sniffed, suppressed the tears in her eyes and said, "You fainted as soon as you entered the house yesterday. Fortunately, the driver hadn't left yet, so he took you directly to the hospital. The doctor said that you had a bad cold and didn't rest well. You didn't eat yesterday and had low blood sugar."

Hypoglycemia?

"You are not coquettish." Uncle Qi pushed the door open and came in, followed by a female comrade with short hair that reached her ears. She nodded and smiled at Xia Juhua as Uncle Qi spoke.

Xia Juhua looked at the watch. It was not even seven o'clock yet, but Uncle Qi had already appeared in the ward. She said a little embarrassedly, "Director Qi, how could I have disturbed you so early in the morning? I just have a cold and can go home today."

The female comrade following Uncle Qi handed something in her hand to Wang Caifeng: "This is the porridge I cooked for Captain Xia. She can't eat anything greasy because she has a cold. Let's fill her stomach first."

Uncle Qi introduced the person to Xia Juhua. This female comrade was Uncle Qi's lover, an official of the County Statistics Bureau, named Xie Jinyan.

Xia Juhua hurriedly asked Uncle Qi and Xie Jinyan to sit down, and said modestly: "What can I do? Director Qi manages such a large county. He has his own ideas."

Uncle Qi looked at Xia Juhua with disdain and said, "It seems that you are almost fully recovered. You can even lie with your eyes open. My wife is not good at talking, so don't fool her."

It was really hard to tell who was fooling whom between the two of them, so Xia Juhua ignored her uncle's words and focused on talking to Xie Jinyan. Xie Jinyan's main purpose was to deliver porridge, so naturally he wanted Xia Juhua to eat it as soon as possible.

"Did you get the porridge in the cafeteria? The porridge in the cafeteria is too watery. You'd better not eat it for now. Eat the one I brought." Xie Jinyan said directly to Wang Caifeng without any awkward politeness as if they had just met for the first time.

Wang Caifeng smiled and said, "It wasn't made in the cafeteria. Zhishuang went to Xiaoqi's place and cooked it at night." She turned around and explained to Xia Juhua, "Xiaoqi also came to see you at night with Zhishuang. I thought it would be useless for so many people to stay here, so we should take turns to rest for a while, so I asked him to bring two comrades from the army to Xiaoqi's place to squeeze in."

Xia Juhua thought her arrangement was very good and nodded approvingly to Wang Caifeng, which made Wang Caifeng's face turn red, like a primary school student who was praised by the teacher.

Xie Jinyan asked, "This is your eldest daughter-in-law, right? She looks like a good, filial child. Yesterday I heard from Lao Qi that both brothers can enter the supply and marketing system, which is a good thing I have never heard of. I am afraid that you are too used to the hustle and bustle, and will avoid you when the children leave."

Before Xia Juhua could tell her two sons about this, she could only smile and say, "They are just lucky."

"What good luck?" Xie Jinyan didn't believe in luck: "If you hadn't made such a great contribution to the supply and marketing system, no one would dare to recruit both children at once no matter how lucky they were. It was you, as a mother, who earned it for them."

Wang Caifeng couldn't help but look back at Liu Zhiquan and found that the man was also looking at his mother with a confused look on his face. She couldn't get a word in at all, so she had to swallow her doubts.

Uncle Qi naturally understood that Xia Juhua didn't have time to talk to her sons yesterday, so he interrupted Xie Jinyan's sigh and said, "What do you two have to say? Why don't you wait until Xia Juhua drinks the porridge? Otherwise, she will have low blood sugar again. Don't ask others to not give you food then."

Xie Jinyan laughed out loud at what he said: "That's right, I just wanted to get you some porridge, but when we got into a conversation, I forgot about it."

Wang Caifeng had already picked up the thermos that Xie Jinyan had brought and poured out a bowl of steaming millet porridge. She wanted to feed Xia Juhua herself, but Xia Juhua took the bowl and said, "It's not like I can't move. When I can't move, you guys will have the trouble of serving me."

Speaking of this I can't help but think of my previous life. Even before I was unable to move, people already didn't allow me to visit them. Now I just have a cold, but so many people are surrounding my bed. The contrast is too strong.

Fortunately, those who needed to move to other regions moved to other regions, and those who needed to move to the provincial capital moved to the provincial capital soon, so I didn't have to suffer the constant stimulation.

Thinking of the sorrows of her previous life, Xia Juhua drank the porridge with a vengeance. In the eyes of others, she was just too hungry, so she ate quickly and anxiously. Wang Caifeng hurriedly handed over a bowl of pickled vegetables: "Mom, just eat some pickled vegetables, otherwise the porridge will be tasteless."

Xia Juhua silently picked up a piece of salted vegetable and drank it with the porridge. The depression in her heart gradually subsided: this life is completely different from the previous one. She has endless things to do every day, and there will be more things to do in the future. She shouldn't always be influenced by her previous life.

The things that made her despair would never happen, and she would not allow them to happen - those two guys were about to move out of Ping An Zhuang, and if she let them affect her mood, she would be being too picky.

Her mission now is to earn enough money for her retirement, and everything else has nothing to do with her.

Xia Juhua, who had figured it out, slowed down the pace of drinking porridge and no longer had that vicious urge. Wang Caifeng turned around and looked at Liu Zhiquan with satisfaction. They both felt that their mother was feeling better and that was why she was not eating so quickly.

Even Uncle Qi and Xie Jinyan had the same idea. They were about to persuade Xia Juhua not to eat too much at once when the hospital director appeared in the ward with several doctors. Before the working hours today, the emergency doctor on duty reported to the director that the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee had personally sent patients for medical treatment and brought his wife to deliver meals to patients early in the morning.

The director naturally could not finish his breakfast and come to work leisurely as usual. Instead, he made a phone call and summoned several doctors from related departments to come with him to check on the patient's condition.

Suddenly, I had a "chance encounter" with Director Qi.

Director Qi is a humble leader. He did not use his status to delay the dean from bringing people to re-confirm Xia Juhua's condition. He also patiently listened to the dean's suggestions for Xia Juhua's follow-up care. Finally, he shook hands with the dean cordially and asked him to take more care of Comrade Xia Juhua.

Comrade Xia Juhua was a hero of Pingde County. She fell ill because she represented Pingde County in the Expo and was overworked. In addition, she worked too hard when she was young, so she was defeated by the disease this time.

Therefore, all people in Pingde County have the obligation to help Comrade Xia Juhua recuperate so that she can make new and greater contributions to Pingde County after her recovery.

Xia Juhua, who was forced not to sit up on the hospital bed, wrinkled one corner of the quilt, clenched her teeth tightly, and her face turned red. The director was so scared that he immediately asked someone to take her temperature again, fearing that she had caught a cold when she sat up just now and had a fever and could not take medicine.

Xia Juhua shook her head at the director's arrangements and gritted her teeth and said nothing. It was not until Uncle Qi asked the director to take people to study a more effective treatment plan and the director led the doctors out of the ward that Xia Juhua growled, "Director Qi, am I going to die?"

Everyone was stunned. Liu Zhiquan and Wang Caifeng hurried to explain to Xia Juhua that the doctor didn't mean that. She just had a bad cold and would be fine after another day of intravenous drip. But Uncle Qi heard that Xia Juhua was angry because of what he said about being defeated by the disease. He laughed twice and took Xie Jinyan away.

Xie Jinyan finally realized that what Uncle Qi said was indeed a bit too much. Who would visit a patient and not wish him a speedy victory over the disease, but curse him to be defeated by the disease? No wonder Xia Juhua was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She had to turn around and apologize on behalf of Uncle Qi: "Sister Juhua, he is such a person who doesn't mean what he says. Don't bother with him. What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll bring it to you."

Although she knew she shouldn't be angry with Xie Jinyan, she thought about her illness and Uncle Qi's ties to her, so Xia Juhua lay down on the bed: "I've been defeated by the disease. I won't be able to leave the hospital for ten days or half a month."

Xie Jinyan couldn't help laughing. When he got in the car at the hospital gate, he complained to Uncle Qi: "Aren't you usually very reliable when you talk? Why can't you even talk today?"

Uncle Qi turned around and looked through the car window at the hospital ward. He said, "You just met Xia Juhua and don't know her personality. She is a very strong-willed person. She will never rest until she finishes something."

"Didn't you hear the dean say just now that she worked too hard when she was young and her body was weak, but she was holding on with her energy. This time, she was traveling from the provincial capital to Guangzhou and the Expo for several days, and then from Guangzhou back to the provincial capital and to the region. She still had a lot of rest for several days."

"If the troops hadn't come, and Li Changshun was watching over the Ping'an Village Brigade, she would have been able to move more easily and slowly. But now the troops are waiting, can she stay lying down?"

Xie Jinyan really didn't understand Xia Juhua's personality, but she did understand Uncle Qi's personality. If Uncle Qi didn't really value Xia Juhua, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to let her rest for two more days.

So she smiled and teased Uncle Qi: "I never knew you cared so much about your subordinates."

Uncle Qi smiled at his wife, "This is a treasure. I don't care if someone else takes it away. You can't even cry." He told Xie Jinyan how Xia Juhua shined at the expo, how she was valued by Director Yang and the provincial supply and marketing system, and how Director Yang took the initiative to coordinate the combined harvester and the provincial supply and marketing system took the initiative to coordinate the electricity supply. In order to keep Xia Juhua, he wanted to recruit her two sons immediately and told Xie Jinyan.

"Just wait and see. The provincial supply and marketing system will definitely not give up. No matter which son of Xia Juhua enters the provincial capital, they will be given special treatment. This is to let Xia Juhua see their sincerity. What do we have in Pingde County? Some of them are to make her reluctant to leave her hometown, and some of them are just a little bit of human touch." Uncle Qi felt sad for himself at the end.

Xie Jinyan, an official from the County Statistics Bureau, was stunned: "Why don't you just treat her well and praise her instead of complaining about her?"

Uncle Qi had nothing to hide in front of his wife: "What do you know? Look, when she talks to me now, does it sound like a rural woman talking to a leader? Isn't it the same as when two sisters talk to each other normally? And that kid Wei Dong, when autumn comes, he wishes he could grow up in Ping'an Village, and he calls me aunt more often than he calls you."

"That's what I just said about human touch." Uncle Qi felt that his direction was correct: "So don't look at her aggressive words, but she can definitely coordinate those two combined harvesters. She can also grind tires for all the farm machinery and cars in the county."

Xie Jinyan didn't want to admit that such a rogue husband was hers, but she couldn't say it out loud because the driver was in front of her. She could only pinch her uncle secretly and said to the driver, "I'm here."

Uncle Qi, who didn't know why he was being strangled, leaned out of the car window and called to his wife: "Then why don't you work harder at noon today?"

Xie Jinyan had already told Xia Juhua in the hospital that he would bring her lunch at noon, so he naturally felt that Uncle Qi was just being hindsighted. He glared at him unhappily and said, "I'm bringing lunch to my sister. It has nothing to do with your twists and turns."

Without a man like me, would you be able to know Xia Juhua and call her sister so fluently? Uncle Qi was indignant, but he did not dare to offend his wife too much. He nodded with a smile, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Jinyan enter the Statistics Bureau.

They were just arguing with each other here, but the ward where Xia Juhua was was like a crowd.

The reason was that Li Changshun was concerned about the two military officers living in the brigade headquarters, so he got up early and wanted to ask Xia Juhua to go to the brigade headquarters with him to treat them to breakfast. But when he arrived at Liu's house, he found out that Xia Juhua had fainted as soon as she came back yesterday, and was sent to the hospital without even entering the door.

This frightened the old man, and he hurriedly found someone to take him to the county hospital to visit Xia Juhua. Naturally, the news of finding someone could not be kept secret, and soon everyone in Ping'an Village knew that their captain had returned from the expo, but he was exhausted and was admitted to the hospital. Until now, no one knew what happened to him.

Who can still sit still?!

Not to mention the two sisters-in-law Li Daya and An Baoling, and the two nieces Hongling and Hongcui, Zhao Xianzhi, Chang Xiancao, and Zhang Cuiping were all unwilling to stay in Ping'anzhuang to wait for news.

If Chen Qiu Sheng hadn't pressed her, Zhang Cuiping would have definitely come along. But Chen Qiu Sheng told her that if she also went to the county hospital, the editing team would be in chaos without anyone to look after them. Even if Xia Juhua recovered from her illness, she would be anxious and angry again. What would she do if she got sick again?

Zhang Cuiping was still not going to do anything: "I was the one who stayed last time, why should I stay again this time?"

Chen Qiusheng had no choice but to say, "Who made your man so unpromising that he had to be the production team leader?"

Zhang Cuiping was speechless for a moment - she didn't think that Chen Qiu Sheng became the production team leader because he was not ambitious enough. Who wouldn't envy the Ping'anzhuang production team's current days? Apart from their team leader, her man had made the greatest contribution.

So Zhang Cuiping was no longer in the ward, but she asked Zhao Xianzhi to give Xia Juhua a message, telling her to rest assured and recuperate, and not to rush to be discharged from the hospital until she was fully recovered: she was on duty in the editing team.

These were Zhang Cuiping's original words. Zhao Xianzhi even imitated her facial expressions and tone perfectly, making everyone in the ward laugh out loud.

As a result, Zhao Xianzhi didn't wait for everyone to finish laughing, and her eyes turned to Li Hongliang and Lin Junqing: "Comrades, you have also seen that our captain is not in good health. No matter how important you have, should you wait until she gets better?"

In Zhao Xianzhi's opinion, Li Hongliang and Lin Junqing showed up in the ward before them, which meant they wanted to squeeze Xia Juhua and prevent her from recovering from her illness. Zhao Xianzhi didn't care how these two tortured those men in the powder leaking room. But their captain was exhausted and fell on the bed. It was said that he was exhausted from discussing some problem with them. to talk to them.
