Aunt Dahua nodded: "Yes, yes, let's go to the health center first, don't delay the child."
Zhang Xingrong said goodbye to a few people and left with her brother. The people behind them talked a lot and couldn't help but scold Chen Xuezhi's family.
"Sister, I don't need to go to the clinic." Shitou was very sensible. He knew that going to the clinic would cost money. "...Dinner isn't ready yet."
Zhang Xingrong patted his head and said, "Don't worry about money, and you don't have to work anymore. I'll take good care of you from now on. Just focus on healing and don't worry about anything!"
Shitou opened his eyes wide, as if he was full of anticipation for what Zhang Xingrong would say. Really? I don't have to work anymore?
"Come, you must be hungry, have some fried eggs!" Zhang Xingrong picked up a few fried eggs when she went out.
Food was scarce these days, and everyone was tightening their belts. Their dinner was actually sweet potato porridge with vegetable soup. It was both watery, but being able to fill themselves up with water was a blessing in those days.
The reason there were still a few fried eggs was because their family had a lot of money. This money was earned by her third brother Zhang Hewu and fourth brother Zhang Hewan working outside.
In those days, business was out of the question, and there was little work outside. The only way for people in the production team to earn money was to build roads and dams, dig ditches, repair rivers, and dig canals into the mountains.
Her two brothers are currently working in the mountains, one digging a canal and the other building a road. They give all their earnings to Grandpa Zhang. He occasionally buys some meat and eggs, too. Otherwise, with just the two hens at home, there simply wouldn't be enough eggs.
One or two a day is good enough, how can I fry eggs at night?
Shi Tou was really hungry and his mouth was watering when he saw the fried eggs.
"Eat it." Zhang Xingrong handed the cloth over and took one herself. "Both are yours!"
Shitou couldn't believe it. He held the two eggs in his hands and said, "Both of them are mine? What about you, sister?"
"I'm not hungry, one is enough!" Zhang Xingrong smiled and rubbed his head.
Shitou felt so comfortable on his head, and his sister's hands were so gentle. He felt like he was dreaming today. He looked down at the eggs in his hands, feeling inexplicably worried: "Sister, if we take the eggs out, will Grandpa beat us?"
Grandpa is very scary when he gets angry, he will beat people!
Zhang Xingrong shook her head. "No, believe me, I won't let you be bullied again. Eat, and when you're full, we'll go to the clinic."
Shi Tou looked at his sister and saw that she had a determined face. He didn't hesitate and lowered his head to eat the fried eggs.
The two of them went to the health center while eating fried eggs.
When they arrived at the clinic, barefoot doctor Liu Yan was having dinner. She was surprised to see Zhang Xingrong and, upon hearing that the child had been beaten with a stick, she immediately went up to examine him.
As she examined him, she asked, "What's going on? Why are there so many injuries?"
When Zhang Xingrong saw Shi Tou taking off his shirt, she saw that he had more wounds on his body than she had imagined, and her eyes turned red.
What kind of life has Shitou been living all these years?
Seeing that Zhang Xingrong's eyes were red, Liu Yan didn't say anything and didn't ask any more questions.
Although she was from the brigade, she also knew Zhang Xingrong. Zhang Xingrong was incredibly famous in the brigade. She was the only woman who knew how to fight, and she was incredibly skilled. Even the fiercest women in the surrounding area couldn't match her strength.
