It is true that someone suffered from heatstroke, but the person who suffered from heatstroke was pregnant.
Zhang Wangge was pregnant and would give birth in a few days. She wanted to rest at home, but her mother-in-law refused to agree and forced her to go to the fields.
Most people may not be able to withstand this kind of weather, let alone Zhang Wangge, a pregnant woman. The fact that she could hold on until the afternoon was because she had endured a lot of hardships.
Everyone was complaining about working in this weather.
"People in the neighboring village work in the morning and at night. How can they work in the middle of the day under the scorching sun?"
"That's right, I said this wouldn't work. Now something's wrong, right?"
"Quick, send him to the hospital!"
"Everyone lend a hand!"
Zhang Wangge's husband stood there in a daze, as if he didn't know what to do. His mother-in-law put her hands on her hips and directed people to help. Everyone around them was anxious, and these two family members seemed more like outsiders.
Brother Zhang Wang felt dizzy, nauseous, and his stomach was in severe pain. He felt like he was going to die.
The villagers hurriedly carried the person to the shade of a tree, waited for the ox cart to arrive, and then sent the person to the hospital.
I don't know which aunt had sharp eyes and saw that something was wrong, so she quickly raised her voice and said:
"Jixiang's baby is about to be born! Go tell the oxcart drivers to hurry up!"
"Here they come—quickly, quick, lift the people onto the oxcart!"
Fortunately, in order to make it easier for cattle to plow the fields, the village cowshed was not far from the fields, and the nimble Old Tian quickly drove the ox cart over.
The people who came to help rushed to the hospital again. Hua Jixiang followed them as if he had just woken up from a dream. His wife was going to give birth to a son for him, and he had to pay for it!
After all this commotion, everyone realized that many people had also suffered from heatstroke, especially the educated youth. However, the heatstroke was relatively mild, and they were numb from working, so it was not noticeable.
The captain had no choice but to let everyone go home and rest and come back at three o'clock tomorrow morning.
The team leader's original words were: "If you don't work at noon, you have to work at night. From now on, come to work at three o'clock, go home for lunch at ten o'clock, and come back at four o'clock in the afternoon!"
Judging from the weather, it's almost three in the afternoon, and the morning shift is coming at three, so time is still very tight. But no one blames the team leader; they rely on the fields for their livelihood, so they have to work whether they want to or not.
Everyone walked home slowly, fanning themselves with straw hats, with scattered steps.
Hua Wanli saw her grandparents and followed them home.
Hua Wanli followed behind and heard her grandparents discussing something.
Wan Qingliu: "I have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Hua Tiansheng nodded: "Bring some brown sugar."
When he reached the door of his house, Wan Qingliu found a letter stuck on the wall. He picked it up and read it aloud.
"To Hua Wanli?"
