Chapter 39 Be gentle, it hurts!
All the clothes in the box had been taken out by Su Mei for washing, so only some bottles and jars were left inside.
Before Su Mei could say anything, Huo Jianguo had already found the small white bottle with the words "Medicinal Wine for Traumatology" written on it.
He walked to the bed with the medicine, looked at Su Mei's knees, poured the medicinal wine into his palm, and rubbed it in vigorously.
"Ah, be gentle, it hurts!" Su Mei shouted several times.
Jiang Wei and Li Yuan next door looked at each other in bewilderment: What are you saying? What are you saying?
[Can I listen to this without paying?]
Huo Jianguo frowned: "How can it be healed without some strength? You are so afraid of pain. Why didn't you think about the consequences when you threw yourself at me just now?"
"There's no need to take it too seriously." Su Mei had automatically ignored the fact that Huo Jianguo said she slapped him. He wouldn't believe anything she said anyway.
After massaging Su Mei for a while, Huo Jianguo stood up and stuffed the medicine back into her mouth. Then he returned to the bed and lay back in the quilt he had spread on the floor.
Seeing that he still dared to lie in the house, Su Mei suddenly became a little curious:
"How dare you sleep here? Aren't you afraid that I will hit you again?"
"Try it if you dare." A cold voice came from the bed, chilling to the bone. Huo Jianguo didn't want to sleep here, but mainly because he had slept in the car for an hour before going to bed, and his scalp was numb from sleep.
There is nothing wrong with his brain. He has a warm bed but instead of sleeping in it, he has to go outside in the freezing snow and freeze himself into a grandson?
Then, neither of them spoke any more.
I don't know who fell asleep first, but after a while, two snoring sounds of varying degrees of intensity were heard in the room.
She slept until dawn, and when Su Mei got up from the bed, the man on the ground was gone.
He folded the quilt again, making it neatly square and placed it on the cupboard like a square piece of tofu.
"When did you get up!" Su Mei yawned and got up, thinking that this body was sleeping so deeply that it didn't even notice that Huo Jianguo had left the house.
She got up and poured water from the kettle to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she went out to the yard to pour water, Su Mei realized that Huo Jianguo had only gotten up and had not left.
He cooked in the kitchen, making a pot of pumpkin porridge and steaming some sweet potatoes.
Seeing Su Mei coming out, he said:
"Come and eat together when you get up."
"Oh!" Su Mei put down the basin and went into the kitchen, she saw Huo Jianguo was already eating. He served himself a large bowl of porridge, and there was a small bowl opposite him, which was obviously for Su Mei.
Su Mei sat down and said to Huo Jianguo while drinking porridge: "Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? You don't have to be like this!" Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei strangely. Since she moved here and had eaten the breakfast he made dozens of times, he had never heard her say thank you before.
Suddenly being so polite, it felt like there was some conspiracy, and Huo Jianguo was a little uncomfortable with it.
But she also had a vague feeling that if she could always be so polite, she might not be so annoying.
The two were eating when Auntie Wang came over and called for breakfast. Huo Jianguo said:
"You can ask Jiang Wei to eat. We cooked it ourselves. We have to go to the army after eating. Don't prepare meals for us in the future. One or two meals is fine, but we can't bother you every day."
"Oh, Teacher Huo, why are you being so polite to me? You and Su Mei are both Li Yuan and I's benefactors. What's wrong with cooking a few meals for you?" Aunt Wang was a little unhappy when she saw Huo Jianguo cooking by himself, so she wanted to do something within her ability for her benefactor.
Su Mei also advised Wang Niang'er:
"Auntie Wang, don't get up so early in the future. We left early in the morning. You need to rest well. Li Yuan still needs to recuperate for a long time. You need to maintain your physical strength to take care of him."
Finally, Aunt Wang sighed, called Jiang Wei and left.
After the meal, Huo Jianguo took the initiative to wash the dishes and pots.
Su Mei was not idle either. She took out some medicine and went to Aunt Wang's house next door to give Mei Mei an IV. Then she went back to her own yard and gave Li Yuan an IV as well.
Removing the needle is relatively simple. Su Mei has already taught Auntie Wang how to do it, so she doesn't have to stay by her side after the infusion is done. She can report directly to the clinic and start work.
After dealing with the matters of Li Yuan and Mei Mei, Su Mei went out with Huo Jianguo and walked towards the military area.
Although the jeep was still parked at the gate, it could no longer be driven. It had snowed all night and half of the tires were stuck in the snow.
So I had to walk out.
The snow was very deep, and every time Su Mei took a step, her calves would sink into the snow. She was afraid of falling, and coupled with the injury she had sustained last night, she took every step carefully.
Huo Jianguo followed Su Mei for a while, then suddenly walked around Su Mei, walked in front of her, and said:
"Follow in my footsteps."
At first Su Mei didn't understand why this happened. She was from the south and had rarely seen snow.
When she stepped on his long footprints, she realized that walking this way would be less slippery.
Just like this, Huo Jianguo walked in front and Su Mei followed behind him. The two of them walked slowly, one in front and one behind, for half an hour, and finally arrived at the military area.
After entering the military area, Huo Jianguo separated from Su Mei. He went to his own post to work, while Su Mei walked towards the clinic by herself.
When she arrived at the clinic, Su Mei found that there was already a long queue in front of the door.
.........
"Doctor Su is here!" shouted the little warrior who had asked Su Mei for cold medicine last night.
Su Mei still remembered the name of this little warrior. When she saw him, she couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Yi, why are you here in line? Didn't you buy enough medicine last night?"
"I've bought enough. I bought these for my buddy. He has to go out on patrol during the day and doesn't have time to come over." Zhao Yi was squatting at first, but stood up after seeing Su Mei.
The door was still fastened shut with wire. Su Mei looked at the wire and said, "Zhao Yi, please open the wire on the door."
When Zhao Yi heard Su Mei's words, he broke the wire on the door with his bare hands and pushed open the door of the clinic.
After entering the clinic, Su Mei sat down and blew on her hands. When her hands were a little warmer, she started calling patients' numbers.
The soldiers all had some minor ailments. After examining them, Su Mei gave them some medicine, took down the soldier's name and number like she did last night, and then moved on to the next one.
Although these illnesses were not complicated and Su Mei seemed to be able to handle them easily, there were so many people that she was so tired that her back and waist ached after a morning.
Finally, she couldn't help herself and asked a skinny guy who had just come in:
"Comrade, can I ask how many sick soldiers were treated by Doctor Qin when he was working here?"
"Doctor Su, there are a total of 50,000 people in our military region, and all of them are treated by Doctor Qin." The young soldier replied without hesitation.
Hearing this answer, Su Mei almost fell off her chair.
According to the ratio, there is usually at least one doctor for every 1,000 people, so as a doctor here, one person has to do the work of 50 people?
This was even more terrifying than an emergency room visit in modern times. Su Mei only then realized that in the 1970s, it was not just food and clothing that were scarce, but also outstanding talents like her.
No wonder God airdropped her to this damn place. It turns out that he sent her to save these soldiers who had no doctors to treat them.
So great, let me cry for a while.
It was twelve o'clock, and Su Mei finished examining the chicken eye on a soldier's foot. She sat on the table with her neck shaking, and wrote the name of the medicine in the record book.
Feeling someone else entering the room, she asked weakly without raising her head:
"Hello. Tell me, what's up?"
After asking, Su Mei waited for a while. When she didn't get any answer from the man in front of her, she raised her head in confusion and was unexpectedly met with Huo Jianguo's deep eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"Let me take you to lunch."
In fact, Huo Jianguo had been standing at the door for quite a while. He watched the soldiers go in and out, listened to her questions, and gave professional answers and instructions.
Listening to the compliments from the soldiers, they said that although the new doctor was fat, he was actually very gentle and cute...
He came so early because he wanted to see if Su Mei was capable of doing the job.
.........To be more precise, he was worried that Su Mei would do something unconventional and cause him trouble again.
To his surprise, he came over and found that she was not only capable of doing the job, but also did a very good job.
It's obviously the same person, why does it seem like everything is different?
