There are too many scams these days, but if an elderly person has a head injury, he would feel uncomfortable if he doesn’t see a doctor.
Jiang Ning examined Grandma Zhong carefully and found that she had a sore throat and constant cough, as well as sequelae of concussion, but other than that, she had no other major problems.
I am in a bad mood and always feel that death is approaching.
However, upper respiratory tract infection is not a minor problem. In addition, the elderly have poor immunity, and if it is delayed for a long time, it can easily cause pneumonia.
"Grandma, there's nothing wrong with your body. Just take some cough and expectorant medicine. You need to take care of the concussion slowly, and it will get better."
Grandma Zhong had no hope. She sent her daughter-in-law out, held Jiang Ning's hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, tell me the truth. How much time do I have left?"
It's too difficult. The Zhong family has finally stockpiled some food in the past two years, but it is almost all wasted on treating her illness.
Every extra day she wastes, she is sucking the blood of her children and grandchildren.
All of it has been squandered. How are Zhong Ping and the others going to live in the future?
"Grandma, I'm not lying. You're really fine. You just have a concussion and need to rest for a long time."
Jiang Ning comforted her, "A good mood is better than any medicine, you will get better."
Since I'm here, I might as well give her acupuncture.
At the same time, Jiang Ning called Zhong's mother over and taught her how to massage acupuncture points. "These acupuncture points can relieve headaches and dizziness. Press them whenever you have time. It will help with recovery."
It’s no wonder that after acupuncture and massage, Grandma Zhong felt much better.
Knowing that the Zhong family was not well off, Jiang Ning did not prescribe any medicine. "Find some old loquat leaves and boil them in water. It will help relieve the cough. I don't recommend other medicines."
Jiang Ning looked around the tent. "Grandma, the four of you are crammed into one tent?"
"There's no room for everyone," sighed Grandma Zhong. "Two research buildings collapsed, so the remaining people all had to squeeze together to work. Zhong Ping and his son still had their own workstations. At night, Zhong Ping's mother would lie down and sleep at her workstation, and the father and son would come back and one of them would stay with me."
Alas, it is she who is dragging down the young people.
The harsh environment was not suitable for recuperation. Jiang Ning frowned slightly and asked, "How about I help you find a house?"
Grandma Zhong shook her head. "There is no house left. We have searched everywhere around here. If it is too far away, it will be unsafe for the father and son to go to get off work. The environment here is a bit poor, but at least there are security personnel, so it is not too dangerous."
Living here, at least we can see each other every day.
If they are too far away, if she suddenly closes her eyes one day, she will have no children or grandchildren by her side.
The meaning of life is different for everyone.
Jiang Ning didn't force it. He sat for a while and then stood up and left.
Zhong's mother warmly asked him to stay, "I've made some sweet potatoes and dried potatoes. Why don't you eat them before you leave?"
"No, we have something else to do."
After saying goodbye, he rode away on his donkey.
Mother Zhong held the boiled medicine and asked, "Mom, do you still want to drink this medicine?"
"Drink, you've already spent money."
Alas, these three fools are not smart at all. They even help count money when they are cheated.
She is going to die, what should the woodmen do?
Mother Zhong came in with the medicine and sat down next to her mother-in-law, but she was bumped by the blanket and almost spilled the medicine.
Grandma Zhong tried to sit up, "What's wrong?"
Zhong's mother lifted the thin blanket and found a bottle of cough syrup, a box of antibiotics, and two Gastrodia elata roots inside.
Grandma Zhong reacted quickly, "Xiao Jiang has taken good care of us. This thing is too valuable to be accepted. You should quickly hide it and chase after him."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong just sat there and said, "Mom, you are sick and you need these medicines."
"We can't pay them if they don't owe us anything."
"Since Jiang Ning has taken it out, this thing is not needed by her, but it is a lifesaver for you."
Mother Zhong refused to agree to anything. "We in the Zhong family will remember her kindness and will repay her when we have the chance in the future."
Fearing that the old lady would be angry, she added, "We have a jar of pickled fish at home, how about giving it to her?"
Ask yourself, who doesn't want to live? Especially Grandma Zhong who is worried about the three pieces of wood.
She sighed deeply, "Okay, find something to cover the jar, and don't let anyone find it."
Mother Zhong took a torn towel, wrapped the jar and stuffed it into her backpack, then hurriedly chased after him.
But where is the little donkey?
…
After seeing the point system clearly, He Tianming felt disappointed.
On the way back, the two discussed that due to the early warning of the earthquake, most of the survivors survived.
This is a great thing, but supplies are limited, which means the living environment will become more severe.
Yang Weimin was panicking. "Lao He, Aoyuan risked its own life to give up three houses for refugee resettlement, and only got 5,000 points in exchange. The last time you issued an early warning of the earthquake, you were rewarded with 2,000 points, and you organized an earthquake rescue team for 3,000 points. These points were earned by you actively, and together they can be exchanged for two houses.
There are more than 100 people in our community, what should we do? "
He Tianming thought carefully, "If we move, it will definitely be impossible to live as comfortably as in Aoyuan. We have to be prepared to endure hard times. We can't make decisions for the members. We will make plans based on their wishes."
There were no outsiders around, so Yang Weimin got straight to the point, "Old He, are you moving?"
"I'm planning on moving, what about you?"
"We have to move no matter what." Even if not for myself, I have to consider my son.
Although Aoyuan members have some skills, they are just ordinary people in the apocalypse. It is unrealistic for each household to buy a house, but there is still some hope by sharing houses.
Yang Weimin was surprised, "Sharing a room?"
This is a good idea. If each household saves 2,500 points and contributes 250 kilograms of food, they will have a chance to live in a house.
"Lao He, our two families know each other well, so we can share a room together."
Time was urgent, so I returned to the community and immediately called all members downstairs to hold a meeting.
He Tianming used the intercom to call Huo Yishen, but there was no response for a long time. He must have gone out.
Only Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning were gone. Yang Weimin was undecided, "How about waiting for them to come back?"
He Tianming also wanted to wait, but at the same time he knew very well that the two of them were capable and had connections, and it would be a shame for them to live in two rooms, let alone share one.
Time means points. Some people with quick reactions are already scavenging, turning over stainless steel doors and door frames in the ruins, and breaking up concrete walls to look for steel bars.
The two of them are so rare that they are hard to find. What if they don’t come back until a few days later?
"No, I'll hold a meeting first to get the members' opinions, and then I'll talk to them later."
So, representatives from various companies flocked to the sales office.
"What? Are you crazy? You need 5,000 points and 500 kilograms of food to buy a house, and it doesn't even have a living room or toilet?"
"Sharing a room? How is that possible? Our own home is too cramped. If a family squeezes into one room, we can't even stretch our legs straight."
"500 kilograms of dry food? The amount of sweet potatoes and potatoes has to be doubled, that's 1,000 kilograms!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone was instantly furious and expressed their dissatisfaction.
He Tianming said nothing, allowing them to vent their suppressed emotions...
