In this case, it is necessary to negotiate with the state-owned restaurant here and arrange meals for everyone. They all brought food coupons and money with them, and for Ji Xia's own safety, Ji Xia also planned to provide some subsidies, so he temporarily ordered three meals at the state-owned restaurant.
Breakfast consisted of soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns and rice porridge. Lunch consisted of braised pork and pork stewed with vermicelli. Each person had five taels of rice and two large steamed buns. The staple food remained the same for dinner, but the dishes were changed to stewed chicken with mushrooms and sweet and sour pork.
Ji Xia prefers to eat the sweet and sour pork from Northeast China, which is sweet and sour and has sugar added to it. In those days, sugar is a rare commodity. Not only does she like to eat it, but the soldiers also like to eat it.
After breakfast, the group walked back and saw two people shoveling snow on the road with great effort. Their snow-white hair was blown into a mess in the wind and snow. The thick ice was firmly frozen on the road surface, and the two people could not shovel it away no matter how hard they tried.
Zhu Ruiyun was a little overwhelmed. She exerted force and dug the shovel hard, but she hit nothing and fell forward.
She was startled and closed her eyes, waiting for a close contact with the ground. However, the expected bruises did not appear, and she was helped up by someone.
Zhu Ruiyun was pleasantly surprised to see Ji Xia and the other two. "It's you! You're still here?"
Qin Xiao let go of her hand, feeling somewhat unwilling to accept it. He could tell that this woman must be of extraordinary status, someone who must be knowledgeable and talented, yet she was sent here to sweep the streets in such a cold day, doing a job that she was not at all adapted to. He always felt that he had some responsibility as well.
Next to him, Shi Kaiji kept coughing and swallowing.
Zhu Ruiyun couldn't help but reveal worry in his eyes.
Ji Xia asked, "Aunt, didn't uncle go to see a doctor for his illness? What did the doctor say?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it. But once she did, tears welled up in Zhu Ruiyun's eyes. "It's just unfortunate that the diagnosis was pneumonia, but the hospital just happened to be out of anti-inflammatory drugs."
Ji Xia didn't expect such a thing to happen. The hospital didn't even have the most common anti-inflammatory drugs, so how could the hospital continue to prescribe?
But this is not her first day in this era. She knows that the current productivity is low. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine can also hold up half the sky, but it is now being targeted.
At this moment, Shi Kaiji fell to the ground with a thud. Qin Xiao rushed over and quickly helped him up. His face was flushed and he seemed to have a high fever and was breathing rapidly.
Zhu Ruiyun couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the shovel, rushed over and cried, "Lao Shi, Lao Shi, what happened to you? Don't scare me. If you are gone, I will not live either."
Shi Kaiji opened his eyes weakly and smiled gently, which could actually make people feel a little warm in this icy and snowy place. "Don't be afraid, I'm fine, I'll be fine!"
For some reason, Ji Xia actually felt a little tearful, and she couldn't explain why.
I always feel that such a person should not suffer such a great crime.
"Brother Xiao, you take this uncle to the hospital. I'll go get the medicine in the trunk." She said to Zhu Ruiyun, "Auntie, what a coincidence! I happened to have some anti-inflammatory drugs in the car. The hospital should be able to use them."
Zhu Ruiyun couldn't believe she had such good luck. She hurriedly followed Qin Xiao, and the three of them rushed to the hospital together.
Ji Xia drove back to the guesthouse mainly to put medical supplies in the trunk.
When she arrived at the hospital, the outpatient department was crowded with people. Many people with colds, fevers and coughs were there. Some of the patients' families were in a bad mood and had conflicts with the medical staff.
"Several days ago, you said you were out of anti-inflammatory medicine. You refused to treat this illness, and that illness. It's been so long, and you're still like this. Are you trying to drive us to death?"
"This... we have no other options. We have tried our best to find a solution. We have also transferred medicine to the nearby county, but other people's stocks are not much."
"We don't care. You want us to go to the provincial capital for medical treatment. How can we ordinary people go so far?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The county transport team has been away for two or three days, just picking up supplies. Now the provincial roads are blocked by natural disasters and landslides. Our hospital really can't do anything about it."
"Help, doctor, help, my son is dying, please save him!"
An old woman knelt down in front of the doctor. Behind her, a young wife was hugging a man and crying. The man had obviously fainted from a high fever, and his face was frighteningly red.
The doctor looked troubled and asked the nurse next to him, "Do you have any fever-reducing medicine?"
"Gone!" The young nurse also looked reluctant. The daily medicines used in the hospital now only include iodine and the like. It is the season when influenza breaks out, and many medicines for treating colds, fevers and coughs are out of stock.
Ji Xia came in with a box in each hand and walked up to the doctor. She handed him her ID and said, "Hello, my name is Ji Xia. I'm here to escort some medicine. Please arrange for someone to receive it."
She was an officer. The doctor glanced at the car at the door and saw that it had a military license plate. In this era, soldiers were deeply loved and no one would doubt them at all.
Just now when he was outside, Ji Xia took the time to make a list in his space. These were all medicines that would be used in this era, including anti-inflammatory drugs, fever-reducing drugs, and cough medicines, as well as some broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs, but the side effects were definitely better than those of current medicines.
The doctor took the list, looked at it carefully, and was immediately delighted. "Comrade, that's great! You sent these medicines at the perfect time. They are like timely rain for us!"
The young nurse also took the medicine box from Ji Xia's hand. Seeing Ji Xia was about to turn around to get the medicine, she hurriedly said, "Comrade, there's no need for you to help. We'll get it ourselves."
In the outpatient department, the patients and their families, who were originally very anxious, calmed down. In their eyes, the girl who delivered the medicine was simply their lifesaver.
The young nurse delivered the medicine box to the pharmacy and brought two male doctors with her. They went outside with Ji Xia to move the medicine. The doctor holding the list was the attending physician. He handed the list to the ward and organized the patients to line up for treatment.
With hope, everyone's emotions were calmed.
Ji Xia sent a total of 3,000 penicillins, a box of ibuprofen, a box of cold medicine, and a box of cough medicine. The quantities were not large. These were all obtained from the billion-dollar warehouse of a hypermarket in China.
They are all from the same brand and I dare not remove the labels because they are all medicines and the doctor needs to see the efficacy of them before he can prescribe them.
These medicines can only last for about one or two days. There are still some in the warehouse. If the medicines cannot be delivered by then, she can consider taking out some more.
With the help of Qin Xiao, Shi Kaiji successfully got in line. After examination, it was determined that he had severe pneumonia and could die of respiratory failure at any time.
