Chapter 3
Xu Di has become Xu Di and is about to start a new life!
In another ward of the same hospital, doctors were also busy.
"The child choked on water. You family members must take good care of him and pay attention to whether he has a fever. If he has a fever, see a doctor immediately. The child is too young and is frightened and choked on water. It is very likely that he will develop pneumonia."
The doctor put down his stethoscope and told the child's relatives to always be careful and not to take any chances.
"Got it, doctor. We'll keep an eye on it. Can we find you at any time? I'm afraid something might happen to the child at night."
"It's okay. There is a doctor on duty at the hospital."
The doctor gave a few more instructions and turned to leave the ward.
The little boy on the bed, who looked about three or four years old, had a chubby face that was now pale. His brows were furrowed, and he didn't know if he was having a nightmare.
"Mom, take a break first. You must be scared after all this. Liang Bo is not at home, and you are the backbone of the family."
"I'm fine, don't worry. The most important thing now is your health."
The old lady touched her grandson's head and found that he didn't have a fever.
Because the child was young and suddenly fell into the water, he was shocked and frightened, and he choked on the water. His condition was more serious than Xu Di's, and he has not woken up yet.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are now thinking about the safety of their child and have not found time to think about the person who saved their child's life.
Before evening, the child in the bed began to have a fever.
"Mom, Kang Kang has a fever. Please stay here and I'll go find a doctor."
The child's mother said this anxiously and ran out of the ward in a hurry, her footsteps were very chaotic.
"Doctor, doctor, my son has a fever, please go and have a look."
In the doctor's office, the doctor who had just treated the little boy picked up his stethoscope and went to the ward.
"I listened to his lungs and there was no noise. It shouldn't be pneumonia. It might be a fever caused by being too frightened. I'll give him a fever-reducing shot and you can wipe him with a towel."
The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief. If such a young child got pneumonia, it would be very difficult to treat.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor..."
The child’s mother didn’t know whether she had run too fast or was in a hurry, but now she felt weak all over.
After getting an injection in the buttocks, the child started crying loudly in his sleep.
After coaxing the child and wiping him with a warm towel, the child stopped crying and the temperature gradually dropped.
The child woke up once in the middle of the night, urinated, cried a few times, and finally fell asleep in his mother's arms, his little hands tightly grasping his mother's clothes and refusing to let go.
The next morning, the child woke up and had no other symptoms except being a little listless.
The Liang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally felt relieved that everything was finally fine.
The child is fine now. His grandmother remembered the girl who saved her grandson, but she doesn't know what happened to her.
"Fangfang, you stay here and look after Kang Kang. I'm going to go find out what happened to the girl who saved Kang Kang yesterday."
"Okay, Mom, go quickly. That girl is our Kang Kang's savior."
Yan Fangfang also thought of this and her face turned a little red. She was so focused on her son yesterday that she didn't even bother to ask about the girl who saved the man.
The child's grandmother went to the nurses' station because she knew that the nurses' station had the most up-to-date information.
"You can ask about the little girl who was brought in yesterday. She was also saved. But the process was quite dangerous. She stopped breathing at one point. We were very worried. The child is too young. If she couldn't be saved, her parents would be heartbroken!"
"Yes, I saw it too. The child looked very pale. It was really dangerous."
"Good things happen to good people, and she made it through."
…
The child's grandmother pieced together what happened from the words of several nurses.
She found Xu Di's ward according to the room number provided by the nurse.
"Hello, I'm the grandmother of the child this girl saved yesterday. My name is Wang Lan."
Xu Di had just finished breakfast and urged her mother to go to work. She was fine now and could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
"Sister, I'm this child's mother, Li Hua. How is your grandson?"
"Hello, sister. You have a good daughter. She bravely saved my grandson's life. The child was frightened and choked by water yesterday. He has been unconscious and only woke up this morning.
We should have come earlier, because the child's mother and I were the only ones at home, and the child's father was on a business trip, so we really didn't have time to visit. I'm really sorry. ”
Comrade Wang Lan seemed to be about the same age as Xu Di's mother Li Hua. She held Li Hua's hand and expressed her gratitude.
"As long as the child is fine, it's good. It's a great thing that nothing happened to the child. She should learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds."
Li Hua spoke politely. Although she blamed Xu Di in her heart for being impulsive in saving people and almost losing her own life, the incident had already happened and she couldn't say anything.
Xu Di volunteered to save people. If you say something unpleasant at this time, you would be a fool and it would be a thankless task.
"Yes, the elder sister is right. We will remember the girl's kindness. When the child's father comes back, we will definitely thank the girl."
"Sister, you are too polite. We should learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds. There is no such thing as a benefactor or not."
Li Hua and Wang Lan were exchanging pleasantries. Xu Di was lying on the bed listening to them talking and thought that these people were quite interesting.
Xu Di no longer paid attention to them and thought about his own things.
The original body lived in her grandmother's house in the countryside for a period of time. Two years after her mother gave birth to her older sister, she gave birth to her. Together with her older brother who was only a few years older, there were three children, and she couldn't take care of them all.
Also, because Xu Di's birth was difficult, her mother was injured and had no milk.
Grandma Xu came to take care of her granddaughter during the confinement period. Seeing that her granddaughter had no milk to drink and milk powder was hard to buy, she decided to take her back to the countryside where there were dairy sheep and she could drink goat's milk.
In this way, Xu Di, who was less than a month old, was taken to the countryside by her grandmother.
Grandma Xu has two sons and one daughter.
Xu's father was the eldest son. He went to the city to work as a worker. Later, he got married and had children, and never returned to the countryside.
Aunt Xu Di married in the village. My uncle was quite young and had just gotten married at that time and had no children yet.
Xu Di grew up happily in the countryside until he was eight or nine years old, and then he had to return to school.
In the previous eight or nine years, she split her time between the countryside and the city, and lived a pretty comfortable life.
Because I started school late, I went back to the countryside for a year when I was most active in sports, so I didn't start high school until I was sixteen, and I started my second year in September. My peers had already graduated from high school.
Xu Di thought about the Xu family's situation, which was considered an ordinary working-class family.
Xu's father, Xu Dapeng, is an eighth-level fitter in a machinery factory and has a good salary. But he is an honest man and has always been a fitter, with no room for advancement.
Xu's mother, Li Hua, is a cook in the canteen of the machinery factory. She has a good salary and is popular.
The eldest brother Xu Li is a second-level fitter in the machinery factory and a formal worker. His personality is very similar to that of his father Xu.
My eldest sister-in-law, Wang Meili, is a nurse at the machinery factory hospital.
My elder sister Xu Mei went to Yunnan Province as an educated youth in the winter of 1968.
He also has a younger brother, Xu Jun, who is an elementary school student.
This was considered a well-off working-class family in the 1970s. Both parents were workers, and apart from the older sister who went to the countryside and needed support, the family had no other burdens.
In my impression, the Xu family has a pretty good atmosphere, with a loving father and filial sons, and friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers.
Xu Di figured out the Xu family's affairs and had to think about his future life.
School starts in September and she will be a sophomore in high school. High school at that time was a two-year system, which meant that she would graduate from high school next July.
The college entrance examination was cancelled, so there was no place for her in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. If she can't find a job, she may have to move to the countryside.
Xu Di has watched TV dramas about educated youth, and they are really miserable.
Her family in her previous life was from the countryside. In the 1990s, when mechanization was not yet popular, she also did a lot of farm work.
Think about the countryside today, where almost all labor is done manually, and it makes me tired just thinking about it. She was determined not to go to the countryside and must find a job and stay in the city.
"Xu Di, Aunt Wang is leaving. Say goodbye."
Xu's mother's words brought Xu Di back to his senses.
"Goodbye, Auntie Wang. Thank you for coming to see me. I hope my nephew is in good health and can be discharged from the hospital soon."
Xu Di can still say these polite words, but she is not the seventeen-year-old Xu Di.
"Good boy, you should have a good rest too. Aunt Wang will come to see you in the afternoon."
Wang Lan said goodbye to Xu's mother. She wanted to go back to see her grandson and also thought about how to repay the girl from the Xu family.
After sending Wang Lan away, Xu's mother looked at her daughter who had fallen silent again. The child might have been frightened, so she secretly called her soul back to her at night.
