"Comrade, are you alright?"
This bag of grain was really heavy, probably over a hundred pounds. Ning Xi didn't have the strength to help her unload it, so she could only hold it up.
"Let me help you!" The middle-aged woman who had just protected Ning Xi came over and took the food down.
At this time, the woman was sweating profusely, biting her lips tightly and unable to speak.
Ning Xi quickly supported her: "Do you need to be taken to the hospital? If so, just nod."
"No..." The woman wanted to refuse, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a sharp pain, and finally nodded resignedly.
But they couldn't carry a bag of food to the hospital, so they were in a dilemma.
Ning Xi: "Why don't we leave it at the grain station? I think the staff here are quite easy to talk to. We have no other choice now, so we can just notify our family to come and pick it up later."
The middle-aged woman, who was kind enough to help, nodded and said, "That's one way to do it."
She didn't think of this at the moment, mainly because whoever bought grain would happily carry it home as soon as possible, and would not store it at the grain station.
"Okay, you can keep the food books and food here, and come back with your household registration books to get them." After talking to the staff at the window, they agreed and helped take the food to the back.
Ning Xi was holding the bicycle in front, and the middle-aged woman, Sister Zhu, who was helping her, was helping the woman onto the back seat.
"Then you guys go, I still have to wait to buy food." Sister Zhu didn't have a bicycle, and this place was not close to the hospital, so it was inconvenient to follow her.
Ning Xi asked the female comrade to grab her clothes and ride her bicycle to the community health center.
“Ding-ling-ling~”
A round-faced, small-eyed man riding a bicycle came towards them. Ning Xi had seen him before. She was in a hurry to get to the hospital, so she nodded and greeted him loudly, "Uncle Leader!"
This person was one of the leaders who was present when she was working at the food factory.
Hu Guangrong felt that the female comrade looked familiar, and when he heard the voice, he was so surprised that he stepped on the brakes. Seeing that Ning Xi rode past without stopping, he simply turned the car around and followed her.
"Are you Ning Xi? Why are you in the city?" In just a few seconds, Hu Guangrong's mind was full of thoughts.
On the one hand, he wondered if Ning Xi had deceived Director Zhu, but he immediately denied it.
"I was discharged due to illness and stayed in the hospital for a week. I haven't had time to tell Uncle Liangcai yet." Ning Xi still had the same excuse.
But who is Hu Guangrong?
Having worked in the factory for so many years, he understands the twists and turns here better than anyone else, and it is not easy to retire due to illness.
If no one says yes from above, you can forget about coming back unless you can't even get up.
He had never thought this girl was so tactful. At first he had thought she was just a poor little thing! It turned out he had been wrong.
"Then where are you going?" Hu Guangrong thought, maybe this girl's connections could help him.
Ning Xi: “…”
Can’t you hear the woman behind you groaning in pain?
Hu Guangrong only realized what was happening after he asked the question. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "What happened? Should we go to the hospital?"
Ning Xi pedaled the bike while dealing with him, panting with exhaustion. "Yes, this female comrade is not feeling well. I'll take her to the health center."
Isn’t this a coincidence?
Hu Guangrong was delighted, it seemed that it was his destiny to dawdle until now and go out!
"Don't go to the health center. They can only handle simple issues. Come with me. My wife works at the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put force on his feet, pedaling like a whirlwind, and passed Ning Xi. Without even turning his head, he shouted, "Follow me, it's not far."
Is there anyone who is willing to help out like this? Never mind, just consider it his kindness. Later, this female comrade will write a few thank-you letters to the factory to thank him specifically.
Having made up her mind, Ning Xi also stepped hard and followed closely behind the round-faced leader.
Ten minutes later they arrived at the hospital. Hu Guangrong paid the registration fee of five cents and took the two to his wife's office.
"Xiaotong, show it to this female comrade."
Tan Xiaotong noticed that the female comrade behind him was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and her lips were almost bleeding from biting, so she hurried forward.
"What are you doing here, man? Get out of here." She was about to lift up the patient's clothes to check when she remembered that her husband was still standing there.
Hu Guangrong: ...
Gay? Does his lover not even consider him as her husband?
But curing the disease was the most important thing, so he touched his nose and went out tactfully.
“Hiss~!”
As soon as Tan Xiaotong lifted up her clothes, the patient reflexively dodged.
Ning Xi, who was helping, also saw the scene under her clothes - a large area of skin with no healthy flesh at all, and part of the newly formed scab had cracked, with bright red flesh leaking out.
Some places have begun to fester.
It looks terrifying.
It was a bit serious and all the dead flesh had to be cleaned up. Tan Xiaotong asked the nurse to come in and take the patient to the medical room.
It took nearly an hour to complete the treatment and bandaging.
"Thank you, doctor." Zhong Suxin looked at the gauze wrapped around her body and lifted her clothes to cover it.
"You're welcome. Come back every other day to change the dressing. It's best not to do any strenuous work to prevent the wound from splitting. Sweating won't help the wound heal. It's best to go straight to the hospital."
Zhong Suxin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No need."
How could she not do physical work? There were several mouths to feed at home. If she hadn't run out of food today, she wouldn't have taken half a day off.
Tan Xiaotong noticed something was wrong with the patient, but didn't say much. Every family has its own problems. She had already told the patient the truth about the situation, and it was up to others to decide.
