Jiang Wanyue left the residential area contentedly.
She had one dollar and one cent left in her hand, leaving thirty cents for travel expenses, leaving seventy cents left.
She felt a little reluctant not to spend it all, because it was not easy to come here, and she could earn money again after spending it.
When she looked up, she saw that there was a health center across the street, so she immediately walked in with the child in her arms. The money she had was definitely not enough for medical treatment, but she could ask about the situation of the child who could not walk.
This is just a small residential clinic. There is no need to register. You can see a doctor after waiting in line for two people.
She carried the child in and explained the situation to the old doctor.
The old doctor carefully examined Song Huazhi's body. The little guy had never seen such a scene before, and he was so scared that he shrank into Jiang Wanyue's arms.
"This is malnutrition and severe calcium deficiency." The old doctor pushed his glasses and said, "You can take some cod liver oil to supplement it."
Jiang Wanyue really didn't expect that cod liver oil existed in this era: "How much is it?"
"There are expensive ones and cheap ones." The old doctor took out two bottles from the cabinet beside him calmly. "This imported one is 12 yuan a bottle, and this one is made in our country, 6 yuan a bottle. It can be used for one to two months."
Jiang Wanyue: “…”
It’s too expensive.
The price is too high for her.
She stood up and said, "I'll buy it next time."
The old doctor quickly wrote a prescription and handed it over: "Eat more meat and eggs, and get more sun. If he still can't walk in two months, you have to come back for another visit."
"I remember that. Thank you, doctor."
Jiang Wanyue went out with the doctor's instructions.
It's good to confirm that you are calcium deficient. Start by slowly supplementing yourself with food. When you have money, you can buy cod liver oil.
She glanced at the sky and realized that it was getting late, so she hurried to the station. As soon as she arrived, she saw the bus drive out and disappear from her sight in an instant.
She hurried to the platform to find the waiter and ask when the next train was.
"The last one has already left. Please get up early tomorrow."
Jiang Wanyue was petrified instantly.
Since she couldn't take the company bus, she could only stay in the county town. Not to mention whether she had money or not, even if she had money, she couldn't stay in a hotel without a letter of introduction from the brigade.
This is her second day here. I wonder if she will have to sleep on the streets.
Her brain raced to find a solution...
Just then, a hand tractor suddenly stopped at the station.
Looking at the tractor, she felt it looked familiar for some reason. She searched through her original memory over and over again and finally remembered that this was the tractor of their Hongqi Commune. On the first day of her original life in the countryside, the commune secretary used this tattered walk-behind tractor to pick up the educated youth back to the village.
She quickly walked around and went to the front of the car. She saw a man sitting in the driver's seat and greeted him with a smile: "Brother, it's a coincidence that we meet here."
The man didn't know her, but that didn't stop him from instinctively liking pretty women. Moreover, the woman was carrying a basket on her back and holding a child in her arms, and she looked a little pitiful.
The man smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know me?"
Jiang Wanyue wanted to vomit blood again.
Just now, Xiao Li called her "big sister" and the driver called her "sister-in-law". Does she look so old?
Forget it, she doesn't bother with these simple people.
The smile on her face became even bigger. "It's me, Jiang Wanyue, the educated youth assigned to the Xiaojing Brigade. The captain of Xiaojing Village is my father-in-law. When I went to the countryside, it was my brother who drove us to the educated youth camp. I have always wanted to thank him."
The man coughed and said, "It was my brother who was driving the tractor at the time."
Jiang Wanyue smiled awkwardly but politely: "It's the same, all for serving the people. Hey, what are you doing in the county?"
"The secretary has just finished a meeting in the county and is here to meet a friend at the station." The man asked, "Who is Jiang Zhiqing?"
"I took my child to see a doctor and was about to go home. I saw an old acquaintance and came to say hello." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "It's getting late. I have to go back quickly. The road will be difficult to walk after dark."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the station.
The drivers were shocked. It would take at least ten hours to walk from the county town back to Xiaojing Production Brigade, which meant that the woman with the child would not get home until dawn.
The driver opened his mouth but said nothing.
He was just a driver, and there was a secretary in the car, so he didn't dare to greet people randomly.
After a while, the secretary and secretary of the Red Flag Commune came out and climbed onto the tractor.
The entire commune had only this one means of transportation. Generally, the secretary would only use a tractor when he came to the county town for a meeting. In those days, it was hard to see a car in a county town, and tractors were also rare. When they rumbled on the road, they attracted many people's attention.
Not long after leaving the station, the driver saw Jiang Wanyue walking on the side of the road.
Jiang Wanyue had already heard the rumbling sound of the tractor. She turned her head at the right moment, smiled, and waved vigorously at the driver.
Secretary Qin, who was sitting in the back of the truck, asked curiously, "Xiao Tang, do you know this woman?"
Xiao Tang said hurriedly, "She is an educated youth from our commune, her name is Jiang Wanyue, she was assigned to the Xiaojing Brigade, and later married the son of the brigade leader of Xiaojing Village. She came to the county town to see a doctor for her child, and now she is going home, and she said she wants to walk back."
"I remember it." Secretary Meng said, "The banquet was quite lively, and I even had a drink at the wedding. But I heard that a few days ago, the fourth son of the team leader of Xiaojing Village died in a car accident. Jiang Zhiqing also became a widow. The labor force in the family just died, and the child is sick. It's not easy."
Secretary Qin said, "It will be dawn if we walk back. It's not safe for a woman to walk at night with a child in her arms. We are from the same commune, so it's convenient for us to go this way."
