After 23 days in the hospital, Wei An finally recovered and was discharged.
When they were discharged, the doctors and nurses escorted them out of the hospital. This was partly because Wei An was well-behaved and sensible, which everyone liked, and partly because Song Yan gave up pursuing the nurse who made the mistake, which touched everyone.
Song Yan saw Sister-in-law Cheng and Wei An off at the station, then turned back. The surgeons and others who came to the internal medicine department to see Wei An, to collect medicine for him, and all the pediatric nurses and doctors who showed special concern for Wei An—Song Yan gave each of them a bag of dried mushrooms.
Of course, they placed it discreetly in the nurses' changing room. Making a big fuss about it wouldn't look good. The head nurse of the surgery department and Nurse Ge gave him two extra packets of red dates. They refused, but could they really stop Song Yan? Impossible.
Director Liu refused to pay for the erythromycin that Tao had exchanged, and Song Yan naturally left behind many valuable items before leaving.
Song Yan didn't intend to give a gift, but rather to express his gratitude.
Although Song Yan understood medical knowledge such as physical cooling methods, the nurses checked on Wei An repeatedly out of concern, and the on-duty doctor would specifically glance at Wei An before and after their shifts. Wei An would sweat profusely after each fever reduction, making the sheets and blankets damp and uncomfortable. Although the sheets and blankets were supposed to be changed every seven days, the nurses changed them every two days…
These are all acts of kindness!
Of course, because Secretary Fang valued them so much, the medical staff couldn't possibly neglect them. But Song Yan didn't think that way. The nurses found ways to ensure Wei An had access to medicine, and Xiao Ge and the others came frequently; it had nothing to do with anyone else.
…
Standing on the kang (a heated brick bed), Wei Ping saw his aunt through the window and ran out barefoot. The child hugged her and cried loudly. The crying startled the people in the weaving group and Old Han from next door, who all rushed out.
Luckily, there was no literacy class today, otherwise there would have been even more people…
The room was full of people, all exchanging warm greetings and pleasantries. Their conversation made Song Yan feel a sense of warmth in her heart.
After the weaving team left, other villagers came in waves, all showing concern for the children.
This is the purest and most genuine emotion in a small mountain village.
With Xiaoxiao around, her mother-in-law, Wei Ping, and Song Yan can rest assured.
It snowed twice these past few days, and a group of people came early to shovel snow inside and outside the courtyard. Aunt Wei thanked them, but everyone said it was nothing. The yards of the weaving group and the literacy class both needed snow shoveling, so everyone just helped out.
Since the beginning of winter, Cheng Youfu has been fetching water for the family. After Song Yan went to the county, the women in the organization group had the men in their families take turns helping, so that Cheng Youfu wouldn't be allowed to do anything for them.
After the snowfall, every household was required to do the snow removal work on the roads inside and outside the village as a form of voluntary labor; those who didn't work would have their work points deducted the following year. Everyone suggested exempting the Wei family from the voluntary labor, as this would be considered taking care of the military dependents.
Villagers used to endure illness without seeking medical help. From then on, the villagers started saying, "If you're sick, go see a doctor right away!"
When Wei Ping had a stomachache, no one took it seriously, especially with the heavy rain. Most people would have thought it was nothing serious and would have waited until the rain stopped before checking on him. It was Song Zhiqing's attention that saved the child's life.
Wei An caught a cold, and usually, adults and children just tough it out, taking a fever reducer is enough. Have there been times when things went wrong? Yes! But we've always been careless about it! According to Team Leader Li and the Women's Director, Wei An almost died; they not only actively sought treatment but also begged and pleaded for medicine to save his life.
Think about this family and that family, and so-and-so. If they paid this much attention, they probably wouldn't have died.
Aunt Wei thought so too. She hadn't even planned to go to the commune to see a doctor for her broken leg; it was Song Yan who secretly found Old Han to set it. Otherwise, she would have been finished.
You can't tough it out like this anymore!
