Chapter 350 It's finally alright, thanks
"What did the doctor say?" What Zhang's father was most worried about was Zhang's mother's health, not money.
Zhang Wanwan made an "OK" gesture and smiled mischievously, "Everything is normal. We can't see anything on the ultrasound. We just have to wait for the blood test report this afternoon. Some reports haven't come out yet, some tomorrow, some a week later. Dad, can you and my brother see who is free to take the report to the director later? If there is no big problem, my mom and I won't go. We plan to go back to the old house directly after leaving the hospital this afternoon. I don't know if my chickens and ducks are so hungry that they will rebel."
Both Zhang's father and Zhang Baiyan breathed a sigh of relief, as if the burden on their shoulders had been lifted off their shoulders and they felt relaxed all over.
Zhang Baiyan even smiled and said, "Don't even mention 3,000, we'll spend 30,000. As long as the examination shows no problems, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Zhang's mother was unhappy when she heard this. "What do you mean 30,000? A spendthrift doesn't know how to live! I was so distressed that your sister spent 3,000 yuan. I didn't even dare to take a taxi when I came back. If you really want to spend 30,000 yuan on my medical examination, then I would rather not have the examination."
"Then how did you come back?" Zhang Baiyan asked in surprise.
Zhang Wanwan said helplessly, "How else can we get back? Take the bus! Even though my mom can't walk by herself right now, she has great willpower to save money. She stood on the platform for fifteen minutes without saying a word. She ignored me when I asked her if she wanted to sit for a while! I almost wanted to sit on the ground!"
Zhang's father laughed out loud when he heard this, and said jokingly, "My precious daughter has worked so hard. Dad will cook two more dishes and we will celebrate!"
After saying that, Zhang's father immediately ran back to the kitchen and continued cooking.
Mother Zhang wanted to go in and help, but she gave up when she realized that she couldn't lift heavy objects. She took a chair and sat at the kitchen door and said to Father Zhang, "I'll go back to the old house with my daughter this afternoon. Do you have any problems?"
Father Zhang said without even turning his head, "What can go wrong for two grown men like us? As for you, you'd better go back quickly. The food there is better and the accommodation is more comfortable than here. And the girl takes such good care of you. I feel more at ease with you there. When the girl is about to go back to school, I will take you to the hospital for a checkup. If there is no problem at all and you can walk freely and recover to normal, then we can discuss the next arrangements in detail."
Mother Zhang curled her lips and muttered, "Why do we need to check again? If there is no problem with the check today, then there is no problem, right?"
"That's different! That's called regular check-up. You don't need a full check-up like today. It's just spending a few hundred dollars and you can rest assured." Father Zhang said as he put the dishes on a plate and brought it out.
After thinking for a while, he took out a box of fresh beef from the refrigerator and said, "I bought this this morning, thinking you could cook it when you came back at noon. But when we got back, you weren't home yet, so I didn't plan to cook it. Now that you said you'll be back in the afternoon, we should cook it together so everyone can have a taste."
Beef is a luxury item in the Zhang family. In the past, they would only eat pork and would never eat beef. I guess Zhang's father bought this to give Zhang's mother some nourishment.
Although Zhang's mother felt distressed, she also knew that this was a thoughtful gift from Zhang's father, so she didn't say anything about the price, but she felt a little distressed.
During the meal, Zhang's mother was reluctant to eat much herself and kept picking up food for Zhang Wanwan and the others. Zhang's father asked her to eat more, but she said, "It's hard for me to digest this now. I'd rather drink more soup."
The soup was pig tail bone soup specially cooked by Zhang's father with some mushrooms. It was simmered from morning to noon. The meat was very soft and tender that you could swallow it without chewing.
Hearing what Zhang's mother said, Zhang's father served her another big bowl.
In the afternoon, the mother and daughter went to the hospital again. After receiving the blood test report, Zhang Wanwan read it herself first. Zhang's mother asked nervously, "How is it? Do you understand it? Is there any problem?"
Zhang Wanwan put the report in front of her mother and explained, "Mom, you see, there are reference normal ranges behind these data. Generally, if the data is abnormal, there will be an arrow reminder. If it is upward, it means the index is too high, and if it is downward, it means the index is too low. I took a look and found that you have some iron deficiency anemia. There is nothing wrong with you. I will make you pork liver noodles every day when I go back. You will be fine after eating it for a while."
Although Zhang's mother couldn't read, she could understand numbers. After listening to Zhang Wanwan's words and looking through them carefully, she immediately laughed, "It's true!"
The director was completely upset when he saw the reports. He read them several times and confirmed that he was not mistaken. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhang's mother in amazement, "According to the blood test report, your white blood cell count has returned to normal, but you have some iron deficiency anemia. I will prescribe some iron supplements for you later. In addition, as you get older, it is best to supplement calcium. Do you want to take some medicine with you?"
Zhang's mother repeatedly confirmed: "Director, you mean that my illness is completely cured? There is no problem now, right?"
The director nodded heavily. "From the current inspection report, this is correct. Congratulations, Ms. Li!"
When Zhang's mother heard what the director said, she laughed like a fool.
Zhang Wanwan said, "Director, please prescribe some calcium tablets for middle-aged and elderly people for my mother, and also some iron supplements. We live in the countryside now, and it's not very convenient to travel back and forth, so you may need to prescribe more."
"Why did you move to the countryside when you were fine?" the director asked puzzledly. He had been in charge of Zhang's mother's condition for so long that he knew the family's situation very well. He knew that they had a house in the city, and he also knew what Zhang's mother did for a living before.
Zhang Wanwan quickly explained, "The house in the city is smaller and the environment is not that good. The air in the countryside is better, the space is larger, and we can get some sun every day, so my mother's health will recover faster."
"That's right! When I was in the city, I was so sick that I couldn't even speak. After going to the countryside for more than two months, I felt like I was reborn. Now my girl is growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks in her hometown. She said that those pure natural things are safe to eat. I also feel that after getting used to eating the vegetables and chickens and ducks grown by myself in the countryside, the taste of the food bought outside is not right!" When Zhang's mother talked about this, she wanted to praise Zhang Wanwan to the sky. Her original intention was to let everyone know how filial Zhang Wanwan was. Unexpectedly, the director's focus was not on this.
Instead, he asked with great interest: "What kind of vegetables and chickens and ducks are so magical? You make me want to eat them!"
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, but Zhang Wanwan reacted quickly. She took out her phone and said to the director, "Director, you can add me on WeChat and send me your address. I will send you some homemade food from the countryside for you to try. It doesn't cost you any money."
