Early the next morning, I borrowed the kettle and basin from the guesthouse again and took them to the hospital.
"Brother Ping An!"
Downstairs in the hospital, seeing Wang Ping'an's back not far away, Song Fuyu hurriedly called out to him.
"Fuyu, what time did you arrive yesterday?"
"A little after seven in the evening."
"You don't live at home?"
"It was too late yesterday, and it was inconvenient to go back, so I booked a room in the guesthouse nearby. When Brother Chen comes later, I will ask him to take me home, and we will stay at home from now on."
"You helped take care of my dad the past two days. Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, don't be polite. I didn't really help much. I just delivered food to the director. The nurses took care of everything else."
When I arrived at the ward, two patients had already started eating breakfast.
Song Fuyu mixed the water for washing his face, helped him wash up, and made him a cup of calcium-supplemented milk.
She originally planned to buy breakfast at the state-owned restaurant, but Brother Ping'an had already brought it, so she saved the trip to buy breakfast.
"Brother Ping'an, starting from noon today, you don't have to bother buying food for my dad anymore. I will prepare all three meals a day at home and bring them to him."
"Can you handle running around for three meals a day by yourself? How about we take turns?"
"No, during the time my dad is recovering, you'll have to help take care of things at the factory. It's been very hard for you, and I can do it alone."
Brother Ping'an has his own family and has to work every day. He is already very busy. If he has to spend some time taking care of the patient, his father might recover by the time he falls ill.
"But there is something I need you to do for me right now. I need to buy a bicycle urgently so that it will be more convenient for me to come here from home."
"Buy a new one? Borrow one from the people in the family compound."
"But who would be willing to lend me a bicycle for a month?"
Bicycles are very precious in the eyes of people in this era. Some people are reluctant to ride their own bicycles. Even after riding, they have to wipe them clean carefully. If they have not been used for a long time, they will oil and maintain their bicycles. It is estimated that no family is willing to lend their bicycles to others for a month.
She took out the money and bicycle ticket she had prepared in advance from her pocket and handed them to Wang Ping'an.
"Okay then, let Xiao Chen take you home later. I'll buy a bicycle and get the license plate, and then I'll let you ride it home."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ping An."
"You are welcome."
As soon as he left, Song Fuyu sat beside the bed and chatted with Chen Guoxing.
"What will happen to your job when you come back here?"
"There are two team leaders in the studio. They are used to my frequent absences. No matter what happens, they will discuss and handle it on their own. As for other matters, I will ask someone to come over next week and ask him to help me coordinate."
"Don't worry about me. I have it all figured out. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. Everything else will be easy to handle."
At half past eight, the doctor came to check on the ward.
It was Director Zhou who had examined her, and he was quite happy to see her.
Previously, Old Chen said that he adopted Song Fuyu as his goddaughter. Zhou Longbin was a little worried about his good friend, fearing that Old Chen had invested money and friendship in her, but in the end, all wasted and nothing was gained in return.
Now that Lao Chen is injured, she can rush back from such a far place to take care of him, which proves that she is a good girl who values love and friendship, and he can rest assured.
"Does your leg still hurt today?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't feel much today."
"In that case, I will cancel your painkiller medication today."
"Director Zhou, I would like to ask, in my father's condition, when can he use a wheelchair?"
"He didn't have any injuries to his joints. The fractures have been fixed and he can use a wheelchair anytime."
"Then please help me to open a wheelchair rental order. It is said that sunbathing can promote the healing of broken bones. I will take my dad down to sunbathe later."
"Xiao Yu, don't bother with that. There's no elevator in the hospital and I can't get down."
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'm very strong, so it won't be a problem for me to carry you down."
"this..."
“I’m worried that others might see it as bad.”
"What's wrong with that? Who said that only sons can carry their injured fathers, but not daughters? What kind of law is that?"
"Don't worry too much. If someone talks about something, it only proves that there is something wrong with that person."
"Old Chen, I think what my niece said is right."
Old Chen has no son, and his uncle's family doesn't know whether they have heard about his injury. Anyway, it has been three days since he was admitted to the hospital, and no one has been seen. So many things can only be done by his daughter, Song Fuyu.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll bring you the rental form after I finish my inspection."
"Thank you, Director Zhou."
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Longbin took the rental form and accompanied Song Fuyu to the lobby on the first floor to rent a wheelchair and a crutch.
"The hospital wheelchair rental business is probably not going to be very good, is it? 30 cents a day is really not cheap."
"It's not good, but even if it's three cents a day, there will still be many families who are reluctant to spend it."
"How about you wait here while I carry Lao Chen down from the ward?"
"My dad weighs about 140 pounds. Can you do it?"
Song Fuyu asked with a little doubt.
Director Zhou in front of her was about the same height as her and was on the thin side. If he didn't have much strength, it would be difficult for him to carry Chen Guoxing, who weighed 140 kilograms.
"I..."
He really wasn't sure yet.
"I'll do it myself. Please watch the wheelchair for me and wait at the stairs. I'll be there soon."
He returned to the ward and helped Chen Guoxing get down from the bed.
"Be careful, put the force on your right leg."
The family members who were accompanying the patients in other beds in the ward became interested when they saw that she was serious about it.
One of them helped her hold Chen Guoxing's other side. With the help of the two of them, she successfully reached the stairs, followed by several family members who were watching the fun.
Everyone was curious whether Song Fuyu, who looked very weak, could really carry her father downstairs.
Under the gaze of the family members, Song Fuyu bent his legs slightly, half squatted, grabbed Chen Guoxing's uninjured left hand and right leg, and walked down the twenty-six steps effortlessly.
She walked easily. Chen Guoxing, who was behind her, had tears in his eyes when she stepped down the first step. He tried hard to control his excitement and prevented tears from flowing out of his eyes.
"Oh my god, Director Chen's daughter is really not exaggerating. She looks weak, but she is really strong."
"It's incredible. If I were to carry him, I wouldn't be able to even walk a few steps on the ground, let alone go down the stairs."
The family members who were watching the fun were amazed at her strength.
"How is it? I said it's no problem."
After placing him on the wheelchair, Song Fuyu clapped his hands proudly.
"Niece, have you been taking powerful pills since you were a child?"
"Haha, that's not the case."
"I have been strong since I was a child, and after working in the countryside for a year, I am naturally much stronger than the average female comrade."
Of course, what she didn't say was that with the original owner's innate conditions and the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, carrying more than 100 kilograms and walking a distance was not a problem at all.
"Thank you for your help, Director Zhou. Please go ahead and do your work. We are going to bask in the sun."
Now Zhou Longbin is completely reassured about her, and Old Chen is a good daughter.
