She felt like a burden, redundant and useless.
As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Taozi was carrying the few things that Liu Ahua had in a dirty sack, and Liu Ahua followed Taozi closely.
The specially made loose jacket was hanging empty on her body. There was worry and confusion in her eyes, but she had no other way to go. She had nowhere to go, no house or land, and no money. She could only follow Taozi closely.
"Here, peaches. Eat them on the way."
Qiao Jiangxin handed Taozi some hot buns and a military kettle filled with hot water.
He took out six big unity notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Taozi's pocket. "Don't refuse. There's nothing in this temporary house we found up there. Just consider it as a loan to you."
Taozi didn't refuse and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Jiang Xin."
Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "Well, let's go. I'll say hello to my uncle later. I'll also go there in two days."
After saying that, Qiao Jiangxin turned his head to look at Liu Ahua. Seeing that she was slightly hunched over and a little out of breath even when standing, he added a few more words, "There are better doctors in the city. You should take Auntie to see a doctor. Don't let her develop a chronic illness."
Liu Ahua was very quiet and didn't say a word.
Only when the car drove away did Qiao Jiangxin sigh and walk away. She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.
Xu Zhongsheng is always good-tempered to everyone. He never gets angry, is never anxious, and doesn't care.
When he heard that Liu Ahhua and Taozi had left, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I know."
The door of Shiqixiang was pushed open, and Taozi let Liu Ahua in. "The store is closed today, so we'll stay here first. There's nothing in the room over there, it's cold and deserted. Tomorrow I'll find Ma Tao and ask him to help me go to the flea market to see if there are any old stoves or something, so I can buy some things."
Liu Ahua nodded.
Taozi poured some hot water for her to wipe her hands and face. "You just ate some steamed buns, so you're not hungry now. I'll take you to the hospital across the street while we're free."
Liu Ahhua opened her mouth to refuse, "I didn't..."
Before she finished her words, Taozi said, "You know, I'm busy at work and don't have time to take care of you all the time. You should get better soon so that you won't be a burden to me."
Liu Ahua didn't dare to speak anymore.
In the spacious and clean hospital, Liu Ahua sat stiffly on a stool, letting the doctor take her pulse.
After taking her pulse, the doctor picked up the pen and wrote a prescription for her, mumbling to herself to pay attention to the following items.
"I was already weak, and now I've caught a cold and have a high fever. During this period, I've been eating light, easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge and noodles, to avoid adding burden to my stomach.
If conditions permit, you can also eat some egg custard, tofu, fish, etc. to help your body recover and strengthen your physical fitness.
You should pay attention to rest these days and let your body get a good rest during sleep. I will also prescribe some Astragalus for replenishing Qi deficiency, Angelica sinensis and Rehmannia glutinosa for replenishing blood deficiency, and some medicines for warming Yang, dispersing cold, strengthening the body and eliminating evil.
I'll give you five days' worth of medicine first. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water, and drink it in the morning and evening. ”
Liu Ahhua swallowed her saliva and looked at the doctor nervously, "Doctor, how much does it cost?"
The doctor gave a rough estimate and said, "Well, it will cost about eight dollars and thirty cents."
Liu Ahua opened her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with trepidation, and looked at Taozi's face cautiously.
She said timidly, "Taozi, the doctor said, yes, it will cost more than eight dollars."
Taozi felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. In the past, when she was young, she asked Liu Ahua for tuition fees in this way.
Now the positions between mother and daughter have suddenly been reversed.
The mother who was as resolute and stern as a mountain, just like she used to be, looked at her daughter's face cautiously and nervously.
