The next day, except for Lin Zishan, several other educated youth at the educated youth point went to the village entrance early in the morning to take the ox cart.
The weather today is still very good. Although it is not a clear sky, it is a rare sight to see the sun after not seeing it for many days.
Everyone walked excitedly on the road leading to the village entrance. They were wearing thick military coats, scarves, hats, and gloves, and walked towards the ox cart fully armed.
Grandpa Du had been waiting at the village entrance driving a ox cart. The educated youth climbed onto the cart and sat on the soft straw mats. As the strong ox mooed, the ox cart slowly drove towards the town.
The oxcart slowly moved along the country road. The educated youth felt the bumps and shakes of the oxcart and chatted excitedly. They talked about the town's scenery and special snacks.
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong sat opposite Zhao Yaru and Yue Wenbin. Chu Jingqiu found that Zhao Yaru seemed to be in poor health. Her face was pale and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Yue Wenbin asked with concern: "Ya Ru, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Yaru nodded and replied weakly, "Brother Wenbin, I suddenly have a stomachache, feel a little dizzy and nauseous, and feel weak all over. I don't know what's wrong."
Wu Shuangshuang asked with concern: "Ya Ru, are you carsick? I think your symptoms look like carsickness."
Shi Aihong chuckled a few times: "I've seen people get sick in cars and ships, but I've never seen anyone get sick in a bullock cart. Yaru, you're too delicate!
Yue Wenbin smiled and patiently explained, "Shi Zhiqing, motion sickness doesn't necessarily mean you get motion sickness when you're riding in a car or a boat.
People who are prone to motion sickness generally have particularly sensitive vestibular function, and vibration, bumps, and shaking may cause dizziness, vomiting, and other symptoms.
Shi Aihong nodded and said, "Yue Zhiqing, you know so much. It seems you can also be a barefoot doctor!"
Yue Wenbin said embarrassedly: "Hey, I just know some basic medical knowledge. I can only talk about it on paper, but I am far from being a doctor!"
As he was speaking, Zhao Yaru retched several times, and her face became increasingly ugly. Yue Wenbin hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Du, please stop the car. Yaru might be about to vomit. Let her vomit on the side of the road and take a break."
As soon as Grandpa Du stopped the ox cart, Zhao Yaru immediately jumped off the cart, ran quickly to the side of the road, squatted there and vomited violently. Yue Wenbin was behind her and kindly helped her massage her back.
Wu Shuangshuang handed Zhao Yaru the water bottle. Zhao Yaru drank a few sips of water, rinsed her mouth, and felt much better.
Everyone rested on the side of the road for a while, and when Zhao Yaru's symptoms eased, they continued to ride the ox cart to the town, but the speed was obviously slowed down to allow Zhao Yaru to adapt to the speed.
After a period of bumpy ride, the ox cart finally arrived at the town. The educated youth got off the cart and walked towards the town supply and marketing cooperative first.
Everyone chipped in some cash and bought Jiang Qingzhou two bottles of malted milk, a few cans of food, and some cakes and biscuits.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they went directly to the health center. After asking around, they found the ward where Jiang Qingzhou was.
In the ward, they saw Jiang Qingzhou. His complexion had improved a lot and he was in good spirits.
He was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip, while Zhou Weidong and Li Ziqiang were sitting on the bed next to him chatting with him.
Seeing the educated youth coming to visit him, Jiang Qingzhou smiled happily. He said with a smile, "Why are you all here? The weather is so cold and the road is not easy to walk on. I am so touched!"
Yue Wenbin smiled and put the nutritional supplements in his hand on the table, "Lao Jiang, we are all concerned about your health and want to come and see you. If we were not worried about disturbing your treatment, we would have come the next day!
I see you look pretty good, much better than when you were admitted to the hospital that day."
Zhao Yaru also walked up to Jiang Qingzhou and rushed to say, "Yes! Jiang Zhiqing, we were all very worried about you. When Lin Zhiqing said you were okay, we were all very happy and couldn't wait to come see you."
Chu Jingqiu also smiled and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, several aunties in the village are also very concerned about you. They have come to the Zhiqing site several times to ask about you, and they all said that they are saving eggs for you!
Let you take good care of yourself, and when you are discharged from the hospital, they will come to visit you at the educated youth center."
Jiang Qingzhou smiled even brighter, and said with emotion: "Thank you all for your concern. I feel so warm being with you...!"
As she was speaking, the gloves in Zhao Yaru's hand accidentally fell to the ground. Zhao Yaru squatted down to pick them up. When she stood up, her body suddenly began to shake and she fell straight to the side.
Chu Jingqiu was standing next to her. She quickly hugged her to prevent Zhao Yaru from hitting the chair. She fainted in Chu Jingqiu's arms with a pale face.
Frightened, Wu Shuangshuang and Shi Aihong hurried out to call a doctor. Yue Wenbin took Zhao Yaru from Chu Jingqiu's arms and shouted anxiously, "Yaru... Yaru, what's wrong with you...!"
Yue Wenbin pinched Zhao Yaru's philtrum hard, but Zhao Yaru still did not wake up. At this time, several doctors ran in.
They carried Zhao Yaru to the bed next to them, and after the doctor's intensive rescue, Zhao Yaru finally woke up.
An older doctor took Zhao Yaru's pulse, then looked at Yue Wenbin with a complicated expression. He asked tentatively, "Comrade, are you this woman's husband?"
Yue Wenbin nodded, then quickly shook his head, "No, I'm her fiancé, we're not married yet, you can tell me anything.
We are both educated youth, and our families are not around, so I can make the decision for her."
The doctor glanced at everyone with an obscure look in his eyes, then paused. "Comrade, it's a little inconvenient to talk here. Please come with me to my office. I want to talk to you alone."
Yue Wenbin's face turned pale with fear. "Doctor, what happened to Yaru?"
Zhao Yaru was so scared that tears came out. She weakly grabbed Yue Wenbin and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Wenbin, I... am I seriously ill? The doctor doesn't dare to tell me in front of me. I definitely won't live long, wuwuwu...!"
The doctor glanced at Zhao Yaru coldly and said, "Lady, please don't overthink it. You're not seriously ill. I just saw that you have a weak constitution and low blood pressure, so I wanted to give your fiancé some instructions!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yaru cried even louder, "Doctor, please don't lie to me. My grandma had stomach cancer last year, and the doctor lied to her like this.
We all lied to her that she had gastritis. My grandma was happy at first and was able to eat and drink. Later, my cousin accidentally let the secret slip, and my grandma fainted from fright.
From then on, I cried all day long, couldn't eat or sleep, and within half a year, my grandmother passed away.
You definitely don't want to tell me because you're afraid I'll be scared to death like my grandma!"
