Chapter 550 Reward, Rejected

Wen Shuanghua nodded: "It can be seen that the family are all people with backbone. They will not accept our help without any reason. It is better to help them get more rewards."

"We can subsidize them privately to make the reward more generous."

Huo Wenci agreed, and Comrade Yu Gong, Comrade Zhuang Cuiwen and her mother were successfully established.

After breakfast, Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci drove to Wen Shuanghua's house.

It was a gift from the Huo family's grandmother when she got married. It was a bungalow with a kitchen, a living room, three rooms, and a yard outside, just the right size for their big cow.

They only started eating when Yu Wanqing arrived.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhuang Cuiwen hurried out to open it.

When she found out it was Yu Wanqing, her eyes lit up: "Doctor Yu, are you okay?"

She heard that all the medical staff and military comrades who went to the Yinjia Brigade fell ill after returning.

When they heard the news, they were worried for a few days.

Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine now."

The three of them walked into the yard and found that the place had been cleaned up by the mother and daughter. There were some weeds before, but now they have been cleared away.

The old cow was eating grass in the corner of the house, looking very leisurely and comfortable.

When Zhuang's mother saw Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci coming, she hurried out to greet them. After Yu Wanqing spoke to her for a few words, she turned her attention to the child who had finished his meal and was reading a book nearby.

Zhuang Cuiwen smiled and said, "These books were sent by Comrade Yu Jiali. I will teach Ping An how to read when I have time."

Yu Wanqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her third brother had been here.

But it’s normal when you think about it. The third brother was the first one to take the two drugs, the first one to show side effects, and the first one to recover.

"Reading and knowing how to read is a good thing." Yu Wanqing sat next to Ping An and extended her hand to him.

Seeing this, the young man smiled and put his hands on the table: "Sister, do you want to take my pulse?"

He's used to it.

Yu Wanqing smiled and nodded when she heard this: "Ping An is so well behaved and smart."

After saying this, she carefully examined the child's pulse.

The Zhuang mother and daughter didn't even bother to eat breakfast. They stood aside, holding their breath, staring at Dr. Yu and Ping An.

Yu Wanqing let go of Ping'an's hand, smiled and held Ping'an's little hand, and injected a trace of healing power into his body.

Ping An asked, "Doctor sister, can I be saved?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Of course, you have met a doctor sister who can save you. I will definitely cure your illness and let you play on the grass, climb mountains, and do many things like other children."

Ping An's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really?"

"I want to get better soon. I want to go to work with my mother and earn money."

It is said that children from poor families grow up early. Look, this thin child in front of me is so obedient and sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Yu Wanqing and the Zhuang mother and daughter talked about Ping'an's illness.

The symptoms she described matched Ping An's daily symptoms, which made the Zhuang mother and daughter certain that this young and beautiful female doctor in front of them could really save Ping An.

Yu Wanqing said: "Ping An can be saved, but it will take a longer time."

She looked at the mother and daughter and said, "It will take at least a year. It requires medicinal baths, acupuncture at irregular intervals, and medication."

One year?

This put both Zhuang Cuiwen and her mother in a difficult position.

They had less than 200 yuan on them, so there was no way they could survive in Beijing for a year.

Not to mention that we don’t know how much Ping An’s medical expenses will be.

It seems that it is really time to sell the old cow.

Zhuang Cuiwen nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Yu. No matter what you want to do, we will definitely cooperate."

She had already made up her mind. She wrote down all the money she got from selling the old cow and would return it to the brigade later.

Now I can only focus on peace.

Yu Wanqing said, "You don't have to worry about where to live. You can stay here while Ping An is in Beijing for treatment."

"Wait until next spring, and you can dig up the vegetable plot outside and plant some vegetables."

Zhuang Cuiwen asked her mother to take Ping An back to her room to read. She whispered, "Doctor Yu, do you know anyone nearby who wants to buy a cow?"

"Do you want to sell the cow outside the door?" Huo Lanci was not surprised that they made this choice. Cows are important, but people are more important.

Moreover, they would be staying in Beijing for a year, and it would be difficult to find enough grass for the old cows to eat for a whole winter.

"Sell it." Zhuang Cuiwen said decisively, "Please help us find a buyer."

“There must be someone in the nearby villages who wants it. We’ll ask them when the time comes.” Although the Zhuang family had been on the road for such a long time, they took good care of the old cow.

I'm sure many people in the village will be interested in this old cow, and it should be able to be sold for a good price.

Huo Lanci said: "Okay, leave this matter to us."

Yu Wanqing and Zhuang Cuiwen agreed to bring the medicine tomorrow and give the little guy acupuncture then.

Before driving, Huo Lanci carried a bag of rice into the yard, put it down, and drove away.

By the time Zhuang Cuiwen reacted, the car had already driven a long way.

Zhuang's mother came out and saw this scene. She said slowly, "Take it into the house and see how many pounds it is. Then give the money back to Doctor Yu and the others."

"They have helped us so much, we can't ask for more from them."

Even if they are doctors and soldiers, who receive monthly allowances and have enough food and clothing, this is not a reason for them, mother and daughter, to openly accept such generous gifts from others.

Zhuang Cuiwen agreed, thinking that her brother and mother needed to eat better and take advantage of this year to get their bodies back in shape.

If she still doesn't have enough money after selling the old cow, she will have to find a job.

Anyway, she had several letters of introduction with the secretary's stamp, but the dates were not filled in. When the time for the previous letter of introduction came, she just had to write another one and write a longer date.

Actually, it was the old secretary who had foresight and prepared everything.

The proposal to go to Beijing by ox cart was also proposed by the old secretary.

The next day, before Huo Lanci could find a buyer for the old cow, a civil servant found Zhuang Cuiwen and her daughter and said that they had performed a meritorious service by assisting Comrade Yu Jiali.

The organization decided to reward them with 300 yuan, 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of meat, and 10 kilograms of peanut oil.

Seeing these things, both mother and daughter were stunned.

Zhuang's mother said quickly, "We just did a little bit of work, it can't be considered a meritorious service. Besides, we have already taken two yuan from Comrade Yu Jiali, so how can we ask for anything from the organization?"

Zhuang Cuiwen nodded repeatedly. She didn't think she had done anything worthy of a reward.

It was the first time for the civil servants who came to see someone refuse an award.

The middle-aged lady in the lead said with a smile: "Sister, let me tell you, you really helped a lot this time."

"If you hadn't brought Comrade Yu Jiali with you, once he was caught, we wouldn't have known about the virus. When the virus broke out in the Yin Family Brigade, we wouldn't know how much damage it would cause."

The middle-aged aunt held Zhuang's mother's hand and comforted her earnestly: "You are heroes."

“It deserves recognition.”
