Chapter 85 Accident
After Professor Wen and Song Shaoyang left, Su Tong returned to the ward and said goodbye to Dongdong.
This was the first time Su Tong met Dongdong after he woke up.
Dongdong has become very timid now. Apart from his parents, even the nurse who has been with him for more than a month is a little afraid of him. But this is normal.
Su Tong chatted with Dongdong for a long time, but Dongdong just curled up in his mother's arms and didn't say anything.
Su Tong sighed and said, "Okay! Dongdong! I wish you a speedy recovery! Goodbye!"
Just as Su Tong turned to leave, she heard a voice as thin as a mosquito behind her: "Auntie -"
Su Tong was delighted and quickly turned around and replied:
"Hey-Dongdong! Are you calling me?"
Being willing to communicate with people other than his parents means that Dongdong has taken another step forward.
Dongdong looked at Su Tong timidly, and after a long while he said, "You cut a hole in the bad guy's stomach, is that true?"
"Of course it's true!"
Dongdong lowered his head and picked his fingers, seeming a little unconvinced.
Children as young as five or six years old can already understand that adults often tell "white lies."
Su Tong looked at Dongdong's expression, evaluated it silently in his mind, and then asked tentatively:
"If there is a chance, let Dongdong see with his own eyes the cut that Auntie made on the bad guy's belly...Do you dare?"
The most direct way to treat psychological shadow is to let him face the shadow and overcome it.
Dongdong suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Tong. After a moment, he buried his head deeply in his mother's arms and ignored Su Tong.
God knows, just because Su Tong asked Dong Dong this question, when one day Su Tong grabbed Ma Liu and forced him to show his belly to Dong Dong to admire, Ma Liu wanted to bang his head against the wall and die.
This is a later story.
After Su Tong said goodbye to Dongdong, she followed Liu Shiwen back to Dongdong's grandparents' home. Dongdong still needed to recover for a while before he could be discharged from the hospital, so Peng Hui stayed with him in the hospital.
The Liu family actually lives in a small building alone, but considering Professor Wen's level, the person who can invite Professor Wen to travel all the way to Ezhou must be no ordinary person.
Dongdong's grandparents warmly entertained Su Tong.
What surprised Su Tong was that the decorative paintings on the walls of the Liu family were not ordinary landscapes or figures, but large maps. Unlike ordinary maps, the classifications of these maps were more detailed.
Grandpa Dongdong smiled and said, "Grandma Dongdong worked in surveying and mapping when she was young. She liked to tinker with these things. There are more in the study. I'll ask her to take you to see them later."
After dinner, Dongdong’s grandmother took her to the study as expected.
There are all kinds of books in the study, but professional books account for a large proportion, which makes Su Tong deeply feel the professionalism and dedication of the older generation of intellectuals in the 1970s, and he is in awe.
Dongdong's grandparents asked Su Tong to stay one more night, but Su Tong declined.
Before leaving, Su Tong left a prescription for Dongdong's grandmother. She could clearly feel that Dongdong's grandmother was short of energy when speaking and her body needed conditioning.
Dongdong's grandmother stuffed a book into Su Tong's hand and said, "I don't have anything else to give you. This book was edited and illustrated by me. You can read it when you have nothing to do!"
Su Tong looked down and saw that this was a detailed map of China divided by region. Each province was a chapter, and it was so detailed that every county and every village could be found. The county level was equipped with county annals and an introduction to local customs and practices.
Su Tong liked it very much and accepted it happily.
Liu Shiwen wanted to drive Su Tong home, and Su Tong didn't act pretentiously, but she didn't let Liu Shiwen drive her home personally, and asked him to send a driver.
Liu Shiwen looked at Su Tong and sighed, saying, "Comrade Xiao Wu, if I hadn't come to pick you up in person, I would never have believed that you were a girl who grew up in Yunshan Village."
She has extraordinary medical skills, knows when to advance and retreat, is polite and restrained, is generous, calm and indifferent, and neither humble nor arrogant. What kind of family and environment can cultivate such a girl?
The two rural women fighting for the net bag suddenly flashed before Liu Shiwen's eyes and he shook his head repeatedly. It couldn't be them.
Since it was already night, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, so the journey was very fast. It was a little after nine o'clock when we arrived at Yunshan Village, which was earlier than expected.
Su Tong asked the driver to stop the car at the entrance of the village. The villagers went to bed early and the car made a lot of noise, so she didn't want to attract onlookers.
When she got off the bus, she found a thick stack of money in her simple luggage. She counted it and found it was exactly five hundred yuan. She didn't know when they put it there.
Su Tong thought for a moment, pointed out two hundred yuan, and handed the remaining three hundred yuan to the driver, saying, "Comrade, please help me bring these three hundred yuan to Dongdong's father and tell him that I have received the consultation fee, but I don't need so much."
Su Tong didn't want this matter to go on forever. If he didn't accept it or accepted too little, the Liu family would feel uneasy and they were afraid that they would come again.
I can't accept charging more, two hundred is just right.
Maybe because he has been practicing medicine for many years, he has a rather aloof personality, is afraid of trouble, is afraid of romantic relationships, and is used to handling interpersonal relationships cleanly and neatly.
The driver was Xiao Zhou, who had accompanied Liu Shiwen and his wife last time. He was a young policeman. Seeing this, he waved his hands and said:
"Comrade Wu, no! I can't make the decision on this matter. If I take the money back, Political Commissar Liu will punish me."
Su Tong waved at him as he got out of the car, "It's okay, it's okay! He's not hitting you, he's not hitting me! Thank you for making this trip, go back quickly! Be safe on the road!"
The policeman drove back with a bitter face.
Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the village.
Counting the days, it is already the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. I have to come back and make preparations, as the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days.
Although she hasn't thought about the future yet, she still has to live her life well for now. After helping Wu Tong fulfill his wish, she can slowly make plans.
Most of the residents in the village have gone to bed, with only two or three lights on here and there.
When approaching the cowshed, Su Tong found something wrong.
Not only were there lights on in the cowshed, but there was also a faint sound of noise coming from there.
There are few residents there, and Lao Lin and Lao Qi haven't come back yet. Could it be that Li Sanleng has discovered something wrong with the cow?
Su Tong quickened her pace. Before she reached the cowshed, she saw a few people gathered in front of it in twos and threes. Then she saw an extremely infuriating scene.
The door of the newly built house next to the cowshed was wide open, and Lao Qi was lying on the ground in front of the door, motionless.
Lao Lin was crawling towards Lao Qi. The bedrolls and luggage were scattered all over the ground, and there were also broken wooden boards and bench legs scattered around...
Li Sanleng was holding a bench and was about to throw it at Lao Qi, his face was gloomy and fierce, there was no trace of the honest look he had that day.
Su Tong hurriedly shouted: "Li Sanleng! Stop it!"
