Chapter 267 Beautiful Comrade
"W-what are you doing?"
Qin Suisui subconsciously took a step back, looking at them warily.
Aunt Zhang had just gone to make tea for Qin Suisui when she rushed out to stop the people surging towards her. She explained, "Don't be afraid, girl. These are all people from our Hongshan Brigade. Their children went out to play with our Tiedan and Sanzhuzi yesterday. Some of them were bitten, and some were scratched. They were worried that something might be wrong and wanted to come and see you."
So that's how it is.
Qin Suisui then noticed that there were three or four children about the same age as Tie Dan'er following them.
Since it was a matter of life and death, Qin Suisui dared not be careless and immediately had the children take turns to check their pulses.
After last night's experience, Little Iron Egg knows that he, like Chicken Boy and Three Pillars, has been infected with rabies. It was this beautiful older sister in front of him who saved him. Moreover, this older sister also helped his mother get checked out. His mother is about to give birth to a little sister for him. He dreams of having a beautiful little sister!
So now, Tie Dan'er changed his hostility towards Qin Suisui from yesterday and stood by her side like a little adult, helping her "maintain order" and not allowing his friends to be rude to the pretty older sister.
Tie Dan'er was the captain's son, and he was taller and bigger. Among the group of children, he was the "leader". Now that Tie Dan'er was directing them, the four children were very obedient. They would stretch out their hands when told to, stick out their tongues when told to, and take off their clothes when told to look at their wounds. They were very cooperative and not naughty at all.
After more than half an hour, Qin Suisui carefully examined the four children and finally confirmed that only one little boy named Da Mao, like Tie Dan'er, was in the early stage of rabies infection. The other three children had scratches on their bodies, and they were probably not scratched by San Zhuzi, but were probably scratched by other healthy children in the chaos. However, in order to prevent the risk of ulceration and infection, Qin Suisui still fed each of them a few specially made pills.
The families of the other three children breathed a sigh of relief, while Da Mao's family was devastated. Fortunately, Qin Suisui knew how to treat him, and they quickly looked at her with eager eyes.
Aunt Zhang interrupted them with a laugh: "Since you were sent here, Comrade Qin will definitely help treat you. Otherwise, why would he take your pulses? Hurry back and prepare a thank-you gift for him!"
She said this to avoid offending either side. From a public perspective, as the wife of the brigade leader, she naturally hoped for peace and smooth sailing for their Hongshan brigade, and that the child could be cured by Qin Suisui. From a private perspective, Qin Suisui was their family's benefactor, and she certainly wanted to "ask" for some benefits for Qin Suisui, which is why she told them to hurry back and prepare a token of gratitude.
A thank-you gift? Before Qin Suisui could even stop them, Da Mao's family, as if afraid she would refuse, rushed home. The other three families, although their children weren't infected with rabies, were relieved that he had helped with the treatment. Following Aunt Zhang's advice, they also hurried home; they needed to prepare a thank-you gift too! Building a good relationship with the miracle doctor is always a good thing!
In the blink of an eye, everyone had run away, leaving only a few children staring at Qin Suisui.
Qin Suisui shook her head and sighed, then smiled and thanked Aunt Zhang. She then used their house to give Da Mao acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was administered, Da Mao fell into a deep sleep. Qin Suisui took the towel that Jia Zhenzhen handed her and wiped away her sweat. Jia Zhenzhen looked at her with some concern: "Suisui, can your body handle such frequent acupuncture treatments?"
Qin Suisui smiled at her: "It's okay, Zhenzhen. Da Mao and Tie Dan'er don't have much toxin in their bodies, so it won't take much effort. It's just that giving San Zhuzi acupuncture yesterday was a bit exhausting, but I've almost recovered."
Outside the door, Tie Dan'er and his three friends were quietly squatting in the corner. Suddenly, he stood up, walked around in front of them, and, imitating the announcer's voice on the radio, said loudly, "Comrades, we are the future successors of the revolutionary cause, don't you agree?"
The three children who were originally squatting in the corner immediately got into character when they heard Tie Dan'er's "announcer's voice": "Yes!" It was clear that they had "rehearsed" this scene many times.
After receiving a response from his friend, Tiedan continued, "The successor to the revolutionary cause must know how to be grateful, and definitely not that white wolf that adults often talk about, right?"
"yes!"
Another child whispered, "He's an ingrate."
As a result, he was glared at by Tie Dan'er and immediately shut his mouth.
"That beautiful comrade saved us, shouldn't we repay her?"
"Yes!" This time, the response was even louder, because they all knew about the "tiger parenting" incident and that Sanzhuzi had almost suffered the same fate. Although they were young, they weren't stupid; they knew they had been given a second chance at life. Gratitude was something their parents taught them from a young age, and their teachers often instilled in them at school, which they kept firmly in their hearts.
"Then, Tie Dan'er, how do you think we should repay our beautiful comrade? We're not like adults who have money to buy her candy and snacks, nor are we as strong as your father who can go up the mountain to hunt and cook meat for her."
This was the most crucial question, and the children immediately fell silent.
Qin Suisui had no idea that the children squatting at the foot of the wall outside were discussing how to repay her. She looked at her watch and removed the needle from Da Mao when the time came.
When she pushed open the door, several families had arrived, each carrying a basket full of good things. Qin Suisui looked at them and saw that most of them were their own chickens and ducks, wild rabbits hunted in the mountains, medicinal herbs such as Panax notoginseng and Gastrodia elata gathered from the mountains, as well as homemade rice cakes, milk fan, potatoes, and local specialties. Da Mao's family even brought her a ham.
Qin Suisui was stunned. This ham must weigh at least several dozen kilograms! That's incredibly extravagant!
Da Mao's grandmother looked somewhat ashamed. "Comrade Qin, we're all from the mountains, we don't have anything fancy. These are all things we raised ourselves or got from the mountains. Please don't mind, we'll bring you more when you're done eating. Oh, and this too." As she spoke, she shakily reached into her pocket, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a faded, washed-white old cloth. Unfolding the cloth layer by layer, she found a handful of loose change, the largest denomination being a very worn two-yuan note.
But without hesitation, she pulled out the two-yuan bill and handed it to Qin Suisui: "We don't know how much money is appropriate. Is this enough? If not, I have more." As she spoke, she reached for the remaining small bills.
