Song Yan opened the cardboard box and took out ten salted duck eggs. "Comrade Miao Huan, didn't you say you didn't get to eat my pickled vegetables? Let me show you my pickled duck eggs. They're especially delicious. I forgot to give them to you yesterday in my rush."
Song Yan pulled out two net bags made of cattail reeds from his backpack, one of which contained five duck eggs.
These days, both duck eggs and chicken eggs are precious. And these duck eggs are so big.
Miao Huan refused to accept it no matter what, and Commander Zhao didn't say anything, but his expression clearly indicated that he didn't want it either, feeling that five duck eggs were too many. But it was indeed Song Yan's kind gesture.
Looking back at Wei Aiguo, Wei Aiguo said, "When did we soldiers become so inconsiderate? Miao Huan, I'm afraid you'll crave these duck eggs after you've had them once."
Miao Huan thought about it and agreed. There was plenty of time; they could exchange favors. Being close to his division commander, it was easy for him to get things. He could just bring something for Sixth Brother next time. He simply took the duck eggs and left…
Wei Aiguo looked at the IV bottle, and Song Yan also took a special look. The name, bed number, and other information on the label on the bottle were correct.
“It’s yours, there’s no mistake,” Song Yan said.
Wei Aiguo: "I'm always the last one in the whole ward to get an IV drip, why so early the first day?"
"What did you do to offend that nurse?" Song Yan asked. As she spoke, she popped a dried plum into her mouth. She really hadn't expected to be eating southern fruit so soon.
"I didn't offend her!" Wei Aiguo also took a dried plum and put it in his mouth.
Song Yan: You'd be a fool to believe you.
Song Yan: "Her father is a deputy division commander. If you offend her, won't you be retaliated against?"
"No! First, I earned my merit through my own abilities. Second, I've heard that Deputy Division Commander Fang is a decent person. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of anything."
As long as she stops bothering us, I won't keep nagging her." Wei Aiguo didn't say one more thing: if no one dies, people might not take it seriously.
When the second bottle of liquid was being changed, Song Yan said he would be going out for a while.
Song Yan ran into Head Nurse Yang as soon as she left the ward.
Head Nurse Yang: "Comrade Song Yan, are you going out? Don't worry, I'll have the nurses make several more rounds later."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. "I'm just going to take a look around the cafeteria, I'll be right back."
Head Nurse Yang: "It's not lunchtime yet!"
Song Yan: "I wanted to ask if they had a stove that patients could use, and I was thinking of renting one."
“You want to cook for yourself? I don’t think I’ve heard of any rental options,” said Head Nurse Yang.
"Never mind if it's not there. I won't go then." Song Yan guessed that Nurse Yang hadn't heard about it, so it meant it wasn't there.
After Wei Aiguo finished her IV drip in the afternoon, she went to check the nearby residential area, hoping there would be places to rent.
Wei Aiguo was quite surprised that Song Yan had returned so quickly. "Didn't you say you wanted to go out for a walk?"
Song Yan: "I wanted to ask if the cafeteria rents out individual kitchens, but the head nurse hasn't heard of that. So I won't go."
Song Yan noticed that Wei Aiguo wasn't drinking much water. He was probably trying to minimize the frequency of his urination. Song Yan poured a teacup of water. "You need to drink water. It's so hot; if you don't drink water, it will be very harmful to your health."
Wei Aiguo hesitated for a moment, took the water but didn't drink it.
"Listen to the doctor, I am the doctor now. Especially the medicine I gave you. Drink more water, it will be more effective. Don't you want to be able to jump around in bed as soon as possible?" Song Yan's bright eyes blinked, and her words were full of temptation.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Wei Aiguo drank all the water. It was the first time in days that he had drunk water so freely.
Song Yan handed over a piece of peach.
Wei Aiguo: "After I finished eating, you brought me dried plums, and I just drank so much water. Then I ate peaches. I can't eat anymore." Wei Aiguo was secretly pleased, seeing how well his wife took care of him.
Doctors are sensitive to many data points, such as the frequency of bowel movements.
Yesterday, Song Yan was looking at Wei Aiguo's medical record. Although she only glanced at the section recording bowel movements, she noticed that Wei Aiguo hadn't had a bowel movement for two days, and today was the third. Song Yan wanted to give him more fruit. Patients with fractures are very likely to experience constipation due to sudden loss of mobility and dietary imbalances.
So Song Yan gave him the only two cucumbers he had.
Give him some fiber-rich food at noon.
Song Yan: "If I give you food, then eat it. I'm taking care of you, you're getting a great deal, you know? You've avoided a lot of suffering."
"All of these skills you know were taught to you by Lao Han," Wei Aiguo asked.
"Yes!" Was Song Yan's initial purpose in befriending Lao Han just to have a shield?
"I've inquired about Old Han's medical skills; he was very famous before this incident. If you're interested in learning, then study hard! Just be careful in everything you do, and don't give anyone a handle to use against you," Wei Aiguo advised worriedly.
Song Yan felt it was better to be more honest, and to say as much as she could think of. "I was actually being watched a while ago," Song Yan told Dong Mingming about how she had been reported by Dong Mingming.
Wei Aiguo: "You..." Wei Aiguo was also frightened after hearing this. Fortunately, Song Yan had made preparations in advance, and with the support of the brigade, things were going well.
Song Yan shrugged innocently. "What could I do? I advised her family to go to the hospital beforehand. But they don't have the money. It's going to be a tragedy involving three lives; I can't just stand by and watch, can I?"
"You've got some nerve. How long have you been studying?" Wei Aiguo really couldn't bring himself to tell Song Yan not to help.
I see him all the time, and we know him well. Plus, his family are generally good people. It's really hard to just stand by and watch someone die.
