Chapter 209 Hospital
Chu Yan particularly likes reading, especially foreign languages and science.
Of course, he didn't dare show any of it outside. Only by following Chu Hong could he take the opportunity to go to the scrap yard to find some old newspapers and books.
It’s also because the books in bookstores are expensive nowadays, and you need a work ID to buy them, which is really troublesome.
And if Chu Hong hadn't brought them along, Chu Yan and the others would not be allowed to leave the village given their current problematic background.
Chu Hong agreed immediately: "Sure, Xiaoyuer and Ayan are both small, they can sit on the front rail."
Xiao Yuer shook her head immediately. The six-year-old girl was so sensible that it made people feel distressed: "I will go play with my aunt next time. Let Brother Yan go today. Chuchu and I will go to dig wild vegetables first."
Now she is taken to the city once or twice a month by her family, but she really doesn't want to go.
It's just that children like to join in the fun, and her second aunt is very generous and always buys her delicious food, which makes her want to go along.
Seeing the little girl speak so sensible words, Chu Hong really liked her so much that she couldn't help hugging her and kissing her: "Xiao Yu'er, you are so good. Play with Chu Chu at home. Auntie will bring you some delicious food when she comes back."
She really likes Xiaoyuer more and more. How can a six-year-old child be so sensible and cute.
He was simply trying to trick her into having a baby.
Chu Yan sat on the front crossbar of a 28-bar bicycle. The two sisters took turns pedaling the bicycle to the city, chatting all the way, so it wasn't boring at all.
Chu Tong also said: "My little sister hasn't been home for a long time, shall we go see her later?"
Some time ago, He Chunyan also gave birth to a daughter. Chu Dan had to take care of both mother and daughter, so he had no time to go home.
Chu Tong seldom comes to the city, and he hasn't seen his younger sister for more than a month.
Chu Hong also agreed: "She should be able to go home next month."
Nowadays, if you can have confinement for half a month, it’s good.
Besides, the health of the old couple in the He family has recovered, and they will be able to see their granddaughter later, so Chu Dan doesn’t need to stay in the He family all the time.
It’s not that the He family is reluctant to spend money on hiring a nanny, but hiring a nanny is not encouraged nowadays. Chu Dan is helping the He family as a distant relative.
Even though her father was the party secretary, he could not let Chu Hong stay away for half a year and had to let her go back to work.
By next month, winter wheat and early rice will be almost ready for harvest.
We also have to plant late rice, which keeps everyone busy. This is the legendary double harvest.
It can make people exhausted.
Even though Chu Tong, Chu Hong and Wu Xiu all have jobs, they still have to go to the fields to help during the double harvest season.
Chu Dan naturally couldn't avoid it, otherwise he would be considered as evading labor and would be easily caught.
After all, Secretary Su of Lingtou Village dreams of finding something to hold against their family.
When they arrived in the city, they first sent Chu Yan to the scrap yard. Chu Hong stuffed a handful of change into his hands, ranging from one cent, five cents, one dimes, to two dimes.
I whispered to him, "Go in and take your time to choose. Remember, if anyone asks you, just say you picked them to paste on the wall."
"It will probably take two hours before we come to pick you up. You can take your time choosing here."
Chu Yan tightly held the money she gave him, and said shyly, "Thank you, sister."
"Silly boy," Chu Hong rubbed his head deliberately, "I am not only your sister, but also your sister-in-law."
"Do you know that your eldest sister-in-law is a mother? Your sister-in-law is still waiting for you to be filial to her in the future?"
Chu Yan was a little ashamed at first, and felt that he owed Chu Hong too much. But when he heard her words that were meant to comfort him, he immediately nodded and said solemnly, "I'll remember that."
Chu Hong couldn't help laughing again. She pulled him in, took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into the staff, then pointed at Chu Yan and whispered a few words.
In fact, Chu Hong and Gu Ci had come here several times, and each time they would bring a pack of eight-cent Economy brand cigarettes to the staff here.
The price is not expensive and it can make people happy. It doesn't mean that these books cannot be bought and those books will be destroyed.
Instead, they will turn a blind eye and at most remind them not to be seen by outsiders.
Therefore, the staff member still remembered Chu Hong. He took the cigarette and put it in his pocket, nodding: "Okay, I will watch over your brother, you just go about your business."
Chu Tong and Chu Hong went to the meat processing factory first and bought pig's feet and offal.
Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some brown sugar and biscuits.
It is now the fifth month of the lunar calendar and there are more ripe fruits, so they bought some peaches and melons, and went to the hospital with big and small bags. No, it should be said that they carried net bags and backpacks.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was almost eight o'clock, so they went directly to the inpatient department to look for someone.
I happened to meet Secretary Song who was about to go back: "You are here. Your second aunt almost had a difficult delivery. Fortunately, she was brought here last night. Now both mother and daughter are safe."
Chu Hong shuddered: "Yes, is it a caesarean section?"
As far as I can remember, cesarean section has been around since the 1960s. However, the current cesarean section surgery is not particularly mature, and the mortality rate is said to be a bit high.
And it will leave obvious scars.
Secretary Song shook his head: "No, I just prescribed a labor-inducing drug and something else. I have to observe for two days before I can go back."
He was a grown man, so he didn't want to say too much. He first told me the room number, then said, "I'll wait for you outside. Shall we go back together?"
"Okay," Chu Hong and her sister walked into the ward and saw that Second Aunt's bed was next to the window.
After all, because of her old age and the difficult delivery, Second Aunt’s face was pale and she looked particularly haggard.
She closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was asleep or not, or she was in pain, and couldn't help but humming "ouch" softly.
There was an old swaddling clothes next to it, and all I could see was the red face as big as a fist.
Song Lao Er was sitting on a stool, leaning against the wall and yawning. When he saw the sisters coming, he wiped his face and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chu Tong raised the pig's trotter in the net bag in her hand: "My mother asked us to buy some food to nourish Second Aunt."
I heard from my father before that my second aunt gave birth to a daughter this time.
Chu Tong smiled and said, "I also want to congratulate my second uncle and second aunt on having a son and a daughter."
Song Lao Er already had a son, and even though he had wanted another son before, he was only disappointed for a moment when his wife gave birth to a daughter, and then he was glad that both mother and daughter were safe.
The shrill screams of his wife at the top of her lungs made him feel scared whenever he thought about them.
Fortunately, they came to the hospital, and there was a new machine in the hospital. After the doctor on duty used the machine to check, he immediately asked someone to invite the director of gynecology, and thus saved his wife's life.
The fetus was in an abnormal position and there was little amniotic fluid, but the baby was about to be born. I worked for most of the night and the baby was finally born at around five in the morning.
My wife also suffered. She was given an induction drug, and the doctor helped to correct the fetal position. Finally, she had an episiotomy and stitches. She could not move for the time being, and had to wait two days to make sure there would be no heavy bleeding before she could be discharged from the hospital.
Therefore, Song Lao Er was so scared that he was sweating all over: "Thanks to my sister-in-law for sending them to the hospital, they are safe."
