The next morning, Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci planned to take the child to the hospital.
Zhou Yang, dressed in clean but patched clothes, looked at the small mound he had dug in the yard, immediately put on a serious face, and ran away in a flash.
He seems to have learned his lesson; a few days ago, when feeding the chickens, he would hold the vegetable leaves in his arms, but now he uses his hands instead.
Having adapted to their new environment, the two hens have started laying eggs. Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang each took one egg and excitedly ran into the kitchen to put the eggs in the designated egg storage area.
They've already saved up four or five eggs!
Dad said that as long as he collects eight eggs, he will make egg pancakes.
The two kids are so greedy! Every day they never forget to feed the hen earthworms, worms, and leftovers. This is their precious chicken, a real gold nugget!
After Jiang Ci ate and drank her Chinese medicine, the family quickly packed up, locked the gate, and went to town.
This time, I'm here to have Dr. Jiang check on the two children's current condition.
Zhou Yang was a little better, since he used to have "Jiang Ci" feeding him, so he only suffered from mild malnutrition.
The one who suffered was Zhou Miao. Whenever Dr. Jiang saw her, he would look at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli with disdain.
The parents even had to be sarcastic and sarcastic when taking the child's pulse.
"They really are the child's biological parents! I've never seen parents who treat their child so well! You two are such wonderful parents!"
Zhou Miao couldn't understand the sarcastic remarks the adults were making, and thought the old man was praising her parents.
Zhou Miao nodded in agreement and said in her childish voice, "Mom and Dad are the best to Miao Miao. I like my mom and dad now."
Dr. Jiang glanced at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli: "..."
She finally understood how Zhou Mingli felt when Dr. Jiang confronted him yesterday.
The couple had no choice but to swallow their anger and accept it.
Fortunately, there were other pregnant women waiting to see the doctor, so Dr. Jiang didn't scold them for that long. After examining Zhou Miao, she let them leave.
Zhou Miao's body was also severely depleted. She was young and still growing, so she needed to supplement her nutrition.
It would be best to drink milk if possible, but if that's not possible, drink soy milk, eat more nuts, and milk powder is also acceptable.
Dr. Jiang makes it sound so easy, but these things are not easy to handle at all.
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci didn't have the connections to get these things, so they could only go to one place: the black market.
The two left with their child and happened to see Zhou Gou leaving the hospital with Zhou Huai and Widow Wang.
Zhou Huai first spotted Jiang Ci. She had always been very kind to Jiang Ci, so she immediately ran over to call her.
"Aunt Jiang!"
Zhou Huai looked more relaxed; it seemed that Zhou Gou's kindness to her yesterday had made her feel real.
Jiang Ci smiled and asked, "Are you getting ready to go back?"
Zhou Huai nodded shyly, "We're going back now, Aunt Jiang. Are you going to see Zhou Laoda?"
Who cares about him?
Jiang Ci remained calm and said, "It's nothing serious."
Zhou Gou led the widow Wang... no, Wang Zhaodi, whose face was scratched, to the scene. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like a timid and obedient wife with her head down.
"You must be the second brother's wife, right? I'm Zhou Gou. The second brother used to call me brother." Zhou Gou was a very cheerful person with clear eyes and an upright appearance.
You can't hit a smiling face. Although Jiang Ci looked down on Widow Wang, Zhou Gou was indeed someone she could befriend. She smiled and said, "My surname is Jiang, the Jiang of great rivers. We met yesterday."
Zhou Mingli didn't want Zhou Gou to ask about their family matters, so he quickly changed the subject, "Brother Er Gou, are you getting ready to be discharged from the hospital?"
Zhou Gou didn't explain, he just nodded, "You're also planning to leave? That's perfect, we can go together."
Zhou Mingli said, "We plan to buy some comic books for the child, so we need to go to the bookstore."
This was just an excuse; Zhou Mingli wanted to go to the black market again to see if there was any grain for sale, and he did not intend to leave with Zhou Gou.
Zhou Gou had no idea what he was thinking, and glanced at Zhou Lao Er and Jiang Ci's two children.
A man and a woman, dressed in clean clothes, were holding their daughter's hand and whispering to each other.
Zhou Gou, who adored children, smiled and said, "Why go to a bookstore? If you want to buy comic books, go to the recycling station. It's cheap and you don't need coupons. You can buy several books for just a few cents."
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yes, there are also scrap metal collection stations!
It's no wonder that Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci hadn't thought of this place.
Zhou Gou also kindly told them the location of the purchasing station.
Elementary school starts in September, and Zhou Gou wanted to buy some Chinese and math books for Zhou Huai so that she could keep up with the pace. So he planned to do it with Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli.
The couple exchanged a glance and did not refuse.
If they were refused too harshly, Zhou Gou might suspect that they were up to something bad.
It's better to avoid trouble.
Two families arrived at the scrap metal recycling station. There was only one old man guarding the gate. Inside, a truck that had just returned from collecting scrap was unloading its load.
Zhou Gou went up and started chatting with the old man. When he heard that they were looking for books, the old man and Zhou Gou quickly agreed on a price.
A comic book costs one cent, or four cost three cents.
The item is inside; you can find it yourselves. He's an old man; he doesn't have that much energy.
Wang Zhaodi disliked the dirt inside and was reluctant to go in. She said gently to Zhou Gou, "Our bicycles and the second brother's bicycles are outside. I'll keep an eye on them for you. You can go in and look for them."
"I can't read either, so I can't be of any help."
