Zhang Er's family delivered his food rations in the afternoon, and also brought a quilt, which prevented Ye Zhiqiu from giving his quilt to him.
Jiang Nian went to bed early, and Ye Zhiqiu was sewing her own clothes in the clinic.
After the rain, the weather became colder. Although Jiang Nian's clothes were too big for her, they were much warmer than her clothes in previous years. However, she hadn't had new clothes of her own for many years, and girls always have a desire for new clothes.
When she went back to rest, it was already late at night and Zhang Er was still asleep and hadn't woken up.
When Jiang Nian woke up, Ye Zhiqiu was already cooking in the kitchen. Zhang Er was lying on the table in the clinic, his eyes wide open, looking a little tired.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" she asked.
"My head hurts so much. I want to sleep, but I can't." He still has the innocence and naivety of a child.
Jiang Nian asked him to stretch out his hand so he could feel his pulse, and then checked other conditions. After making sure that there was nothing serious, he told him to rest and get more sleep.
Because whether it is acupuncture or medicine, some ingredients stimulate the nerves, and the nerves are the most complex part of the human body. Even if it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause more serious consequences. So it is normal for him to feel uncomfortable or have a headache.
Ye Zhiqiu called them to eat, and when Jiang Nian went out, the food was already on the table.
Zhang Er stared at the food on the table like a child. It was simple rice porridge and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, but it contained meat. He couldn't even remember the last time he had eaten meat.
Fortunately, he had always been reminded by his family to be polite here, so although he was very greedy, he did not start eating immediately.
Ye Zhiqiu was also waiting. After Jiang Nian sat down, she handed the chopsticks to Zhang Er.
Just after breakfast, Ye Zhiqiu was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen when Village Chief Zhou came over.
He frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Jiang Nian just pretended not to understand.
During this period, someone came to see a doctor, who just had a minor cold due to the cold weather, and she calmly taught Ye Zhiqiu to study.
Village Chief Zhou couldn't keep wasting time here, so he finally said, "Jiang Nian, uncle knows you know what's going on, so I won't keep you in suspense. The medicine for Zhou Shugen's disease is too expensive in town. Let alone his family, even if we search our village, we can't get together a few hundred yuan. Do you think you can..." He was embarrassed, "Just help him. He is the only pillar of his family. It's not a big deal for him to roll on the ground in pain all day. If he dies, he will have old people and young children to take care of, and he won't even have a way to make a living."
Village chief Zhou didn't want to be the bad guy, but he was the village chief and had no choice but to come.
When Zhou Shugen is alive, the whole family is a burden to him. If Zhou Shugen dies or loses his ability to work, the whole family will become a burden to Zhoujia Village. Not to mention the extra money, everyone will have to be given relief food to ensure their survival. It is true that this food has to be saved from the mouths of everyone in the village.
"Uncle Zhou, since I came to this village, I have always treated you as an elder. I don't want to embarrass you, but you can't embarrass me, right?" Jiang Nian sighed in embarrassment, "I can go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs, but you can see that my ability is limited. The herbs I can collect can only treat some common minor illnesses. They are really not worth much, so I charge the villagers a low price. But Zhou Shugen's disease requires expensive herbs. Look at my situation here. I have to rely on myself for everything. I really can't treat him without medicine, right? I also know that his family is in difficulty, but the most I can do is not charge him for the consultation fee. I really can't do anything about the medicinal herbs."
