She reached into her pocket, only to realize with despair that she was wearing a dress today, which had no pockets and no candy.
This feeling is probably due to low blood sugar; she'll faint if she doesn't eat something soon.
He was squatting listlessly by the roadside when a little boy of about six years old walked over, holding a lollipop in his hand.
Xu Ruantang's eyes lit up instantly. She waved to the boy, took out fifty cents, and handed it over. "Little friend, can I buy your lollipop with fifty cents?"
The boy took a step back warily, covered his mouth with his hand, and said, "No, this is the only one I have."
Xu Ruantang was exhausted even speaking, "Please, just give me one bite."
After saying that, she fainted.
Recently, there have been signs that she feels weak and listless when standing on the bus every day while taking the bus with Wang Xiuxiu.
Later, I felt better after having breakfast at home and then taking the bus.
But with the shop so busy, meals were inevitably irregular, and I happened to have low blood sugar and anemia at that time.
When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a hospital bed at the compound's clinic.
The boy was still standing next to her, wailing loudly with his mouth open, stuffing candy into her mouth as he cried.
He shouted, "I'll give you everything! I'll give you all my candy, just don't die!"
The doctor at the clinic looked helpless; he couldn't be dragged away no matter what.
Just as Xu Ruantang was about to speak, her mouth was stuffed with candy. She could only bite it off with a "crunch" and say while chewing, "Little friend, I'm fine, don't be afraid, I won't die."
When the boy saw that she was alive, he stopped crying and said, sobbing, "You didn't die? That's great, you didn't die, sob sob sob."
The doctor at the clinic put a piece of candy in the child's mouth before starting to tell Xu Ruantang what had happened.
It turned out that after she fainted, the women who were passing by in the compound carried her over.
The little boy was crying as he peeled the candy, and he was about to stuff the candy into Xu Ruantang's mouth when a woman took him away.
The doctor at the clinic examined her, put her on an IV drip, and said she was fine before the other women left.
When she left, she wanted to take the little boy with her, but he refused. He then lay on her body and cried, saying that she died because he hadn't given her candy.
Xu Ruantang was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Thinking back to how she begged the kid to give her a bite before she fainted, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The child was taken home by the clinic doctor after he stopped crying.
With an IV drip in her hand, Xu Ruantang turned her head to look around out of boredom and noticed that there was another woman lying on the bed opposite her.
The woman gave Xu Ruantang a weak glare. "Comrade Xu, why did you come to see the doctor alone? Chen Ji didn't even come with you?"
Who is Xu Ruantang? It turns out to be Cheng Dan, whom we haven't seen in a long time.
Cheng Dan also had an IV drip in her hand. Xu Ruantang asked curiously, "Dr. Cheng, what happened to you? Your hospital is so big, why did you condescend to come here for treatment?"
Cheng Dan was already feeling down, and then, in the sweltering summer heat of over 30 degrees Celsius, she developed a fever.
She originally planned to see a doctor at the military hospital, but they told her to go back to the hospital clinic because there were no beds available and her condition was not serious.
Even bringing up her father didn't help.
I was furious at the time, and my body temperature rose even higher.
"It's just a minor fever, unlike Comrade Xu, who's practically dying," Cheng Dan said sarcastically.
Xu Ruantang had no interest in arguing with her and was thinking about going home as soon as the IV drip was finished.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the two looked in the direction of the sound.
Two men walked in side by side. One was Lu Lei, who was carrying a lot of things and went straight to Cheng Dan. He asked anxiously, "Dr. Cheng, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Cheng Dan didn't want to say anything more.
Another man, also looking extremely anxious, rushed towards Xu Ruantang. As soon as he entered, he began to wail, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you? Where's the doctor? Why isn't the doctor here? I'll go ask him what's wrong with you!"
It would have been better if he hadn't howled; once he did, Xu Ruantang's head was buzzing.
"Low blood sugar, it'll be fine soon." Xu Ruantang's face, which had been rosy, turned pale as soon as Xu Hanli entered. She called out helplessly, "Big brother!"
Xu Hanli quickly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, didn't we agree? I'll call you sister-in-law, so you don't need to call me brother anymore. It's a bit confusing in terms of seniority."
Xu Ruantang closed her eyes and pointed to the IV drip tube with her finger that wasn't attached to the IV. "Big brother, you're pressing on my IV drip tube."
They've all recovered their health, making Xu Ruantang feel dizzy.
Xu Hanli jumped back with a loud "Aww!" and scratched his head sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry!"
Xu Ruantang really wanted to say, "I think you're pretty shameless."
A short while later, Li Shuhe also arrived. As soon as she entered, she made a lot of noise. Xu Hanli pulled her back so that she wouldn't accidentally crush Xu Ruantang's syringe.
She was better than Xu Hanli; she even knew to bring a few popsicles.
So each of them had an ice cream and sat quietly in the clinic eating it.
After they finished eating, the doctor returned and removed Xu Ruantang's needles. The two of them insisted on escorting Xu Ruantang home.
They did not see Chen Ji appear until they left.
Cheng Dan was filled with mixed feelings. She was both relieved that Chen Ji wasn't too interested in Xu Ruantang and wanted to see Chen Ji.
Since Chen Ji married Xu Ruantang, she has had very few opportunities to see Chen Ji, and she has almost forgotten what he looks like.
Chen Ji rushed home covered in mud, probably because he was busy and Xu Hanli sent someone to tell him to come back.
Xu Ruantang rubbed her forehead. "I already told you I'm fine."
Xu Hanli rubbed his hands together and chuckled dryly, "I'm not alright yet. I heard from those older women that you fainted on the roadside, and the kids said you were dead."
Li Shuhe rolled her eyes at him, "Kids don't understand, why are you joining in the commotion? Alright, now that Chen Ji is back, let's each go home!"
She pulled Xu Hanli towards the door, and Xu Hanli struggled as he said, "Old Chen, the doctor at the clinic said that your wife's condition is caused by low blood sugar and moderate anemia, and she needs to make sure she gets enough nutrition..."
Xu Ruantang felt a little guilty and tried to ingratiate herself with Chen Jixiao, "Look at you, covered in mud and sweat, go take a shower."
Chen Ji washed his hands, poured her a cup of warm sugar water, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After dinner, Chen Ji took her to the military hospital and found a familiar traditional Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe a lot of medicine to take home.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, wow, there was a whole row of people standing there in neat rows.
The old lady, Ye Lan, Tang Wan (who was heavily pregnant), and Chen Zheng all came. Godmother and Aunt Liu also returned from the Xifosi Market.
Chen Ji opened the door and let everyone come inside.
The old lady and Ye Lan stood on either side of her, questioning her about everything that had happened that day, as if they were interrogating criminals.
After asking the questions, the group silently opened the Chinese medicine that Chen Ji had brought back and began to repackage it.
The traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the hospital is not repackaged; you have to divide it yourself at home.
As she divided the food, the old lady scolded her grandson, "Chen Ji, come here. Look how thin she is. You're with her every day, can't you see?"
The old lady was furious—
