Chapter 74: Hospitalization
The children cried and talked to each other.
The snow in the village had been almost cleared, and they wanted to have a snowball fight, so they thought there was more snow behind and saw that the river was frozen, so they used snowballs to break the ice.
While they were playing, they slipped and fell.
Later, Xiaohu tried to pull the person up, but was pulled down instead.
Later, Chu Yan, who was digging wild vegetables nearby, tried to save people with a bamboo stick, but he still failed to save the person. Instead, he was dragged down and taken an ice bath.
Chu Hong was shocked and felt that she seemed to understand a little bit why Chu Yan died young due to illness in her previous life.
It would be strange if the child was okay in such a cold day.
Thinking that her own mother only had antipyretic drugs and mercurochrome, she immediately said, "Change the children's clothes and let them drink more hot water. I will ask someone to harness the bullock cart and take all the people who fell into the water today to the hospital."
Someone nearby was puzzled: "Why do we need to go to the hospital?"
Chu Hong took a deep breath and held back from cursing: "With such cold water, what if the children get a fever at night?"
"It's okay to delay a common fever or cold for a day, but if they develop pneumonia or encephalitis, they will become stupid due to the fever, and it will be too late to regret it."
"Compared to the lives of the children, which is more cost-effective, spending a little money to stay in the hospital for a night?"
After Chu Hong finished speaking, Party Secretary Song next to her stood up to support her daughter and said, "Those who are going to the hospital should hurry back to prepare clothes and bedding, and don't forget to bring money and tickets."
They were originally in a meeting at the brigade headquarters, and Secretary Song said to the team leader, "You are the best driver here, so you have to make a trip today."
Captain Song nodded: "I'll go back and change my shoes, and I'll be back soon."
After Chu Hong ran back home, she first took off her cotton shoes which had been soaked for a long time, and hurried back to her room to find socks, only to see two more people on her bed, and wet clothes in front of the bed.
Gu Ci couldn't help shivering: "I'm sorry, I don't have any clothes to change, so I can only hide in the quilt to keep warm."
Fortunately, Chu Hong was preparing to take a nap today. When she was cooking lunch, she specially filled two IV bottles with hot water and stuffed them under the quilt.
So when they came in, the bed was already warm.
"Don't be so formal with me," Chu Hong said. Seeing Gu Ci shivering with his head wrapped in his old clothes, she quickly changed into a pair of cotton shoes and went to make them some red sugar water. "Drink it quickly while it's hot. I'll go get you some clothes."
She went to her parents' room again and found the clothes that Secretary Song was wearing.
Secretary Song only had two cotton-padded jackets, one new and one old. She also knew that Chu Yan only had one cotton-padded jacket. The landlord's family had no extra food, so she could only take out her own clothes and give them to Chu Yan.
Chu Hong also took the opportunity to stuff a teacup, a towel, brown sugar and some other food and daily necessities into the large backpack he brought. Finally, she put on two pairs of socks before putting on her rain boots.
At this moment, Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu, who had received the news, also ran in in a panic: "Are you all okay? It's good that you are okay?"
Grandpa Chu glared at Chu Yan again with a sullen face: "I told you a long time ago to stay away from the water. If Chu Hong and the others hadn't arrived in time, you would have died in the river."
Chu Yan's face was abnormally red. He whispered with red eyes, "It's my fault. I was right next to them. If I didn't help them, I was afraid that they would be angry with us if something happened to them."
Chu Hong looked at Chu Yan in surprise. She didn't expect that this child would think so far.
But his worries were justified. The three older children were all in the water, and Chu Yan, who was present, was not young either. If he pretended not to see anything, the families of the children who were in trouble would definitely vent their anger on him.
Thinking of this, she was particularly glad that she did not go out today, and also glad that Gu Ci came.
If he hadn't made a prompt decision to jump into the river to save people, he would probably be the one going into the water today.
If she is not at home, then wait for the remaining children to come back and ask the adults to rescue people.
This round trip would take at least half an hour, and the child who fell into the water could only sing "Liang Liang".
Grandma Chu shivered and said, "It's good that everything is fine. It's good that everything is fine."
When Chu Hong went to help, she noticed that Grandma Chu's body was shaking uncontrollably.
Secretary Song also came back. When he saw what was happening in Gu Ci's daughter's bed, he was extremely disgusted and wanted to throw him out.
But after he understood the whole story, he could not just throw him out, he had to thank him: "Gu Zhiqing, today we are really grateful to you, otherwise Xiaoqiang and the others would have no idea what would have happened."
Chu Hong muttered to herself: I can only lie down on the bed.
Secretary Song said to Mr. Chu and his wife, "Don't worry, I will take good care of little Chu."
After hearing this, Mr. Chu and the others were indeed relieved and thanked him repeatedly.
Chu Hong said, "Dad, I'll just go with the captain to look after them. You don't have to go, right?"
Secretary Song glared at her and said, "How can a girl like you take care of a man? Just stay at home."
Chu Hong thought about it and realized why she was so confused and worried about Gu Ci and Chu Yan? They all forgot the difference between men and women, and I am really not suitable to take care of them.
Moreover, nowadays, it is not popular to keep someone by your bedside when the patient is hospitalized, unless the illness is serious or the patient has no broken limbs.
So she immediately handed him the backpack: "Gu Ci happened to bring some food here today, you can take it away later and let them drink more brown sugar water."
Then he said to Gu Ci: "Eat more chocolate and milk candy. Sugar can make people feel full."
Secretary Song urged her to go out: "Okay, they are getting dressed, you go out and wait first."
Soon, the team leader came to pick people up in a ox cart.
Seeing that there were only a few straw balls on the cart, Chu Hong picked up a few bundles of clean straw and spread them on top, making a thick cushion. She also took out her grandfather's old cotton-padded jacket for them to cover themselves with.
The other three children who fell into the water were also accompanied to the hospital by their families.
The road is now difficult to walk on due to the melted snow, and the ox cart cannot move fast. When Secretary Song came back, it was already dark.
He also went to the hospitals where the patients were hospitalized first, told them the news, and then went home.
Chu Dan asked with concern: "Dad, you're back? Are they all right?"
She felt very sorry because her cousin Xiaobin fell down while trying to show off on his bike yesterday. He was seriously injured. Today, she and her elder sister, along with Xiaoyuer, followed their grandmother to visit him at her second aunt's house.
By the time we heard the news, all the people who fell into the water had to be sent to the hospital, and we saw them all crowded on ox carts.
Even after hearing what happened from Chu Hong, I was still curious whether they were really sick.
Secretary Song sat on a stool, took a few sips of the hot tea handed to him by his wife, and took off his rain boots first: "It's strange that he's fine, it's a good thing he was sent there, he has a fever."
Chu Hong brought the charcoal basin to his feet, and Chu Tong brought the cotton shoes over: "Dad, put on the cotton shoes first to warm your feet."
Take out your rain boots.
Secretary Song drank hot tea comfortably and looked at his little daughter with disdain: "Learn from your mother and sisters. You are the most tactless person in our family."
