The group sent Grandma Meng to the village clinic. Zhou Xiuying also followed them to the clinic because she had heard her daughter mention Comrade Jiang.
Although the distribution tools are usually discussed, she is not familiar with it.
When faced with this situation, she also wanted to help Comrade Jiang.
If you can spend some money to solve the problem, just give some money so that Grandma Meng won't keep harassing a female comrade.
Now that she heard Comrade Jiang say that he wanted to send Grandma Meng to the hospital, she didn't know what to say.
He simply asked, "Comrade, do you have any money on you? If not, I can give you some first."
Jiang Baige nodded, "Thank you, Auntie, I have it."
Seeing her like this, no one can say anything.
Chen Jiaojiao was thinking about how she could help. Now she heard that they had to go into the city, which meant they would definitely have to use a ox cart.
Chen Jiaojiao asked, "Sister, are you going to the county town? I'll go find my dad right now and ask him to drive the cattle over so I can get you a letter of introduction."
Jiang Baige didn't have time to answer her. The little girl ran away in a hurry after saying that.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Baige felt very ashamed for a moment. She originally wanted to establish a good relationship with Chen Jiaojiao so that it would be easier for her to get a letter of introduction from the village chief in the future.
Seeing her helping her like this, she decided to keep her as a friend.
Soon, someone outside shouted, "Here they come, here they come, the bullock cart is coming."
Chen Defu listened to his daughter's words all the way and had already understood the situation in general.
Arriving at the infirmary, Chen Defu asked, "Can Aunt Meng still walk? We need to hurry to get to the county town, or there won't be any more cars."
Doctor Wang and Chen Defu lifted Grandma Meng onto the ox cart.
Jiang Baige followed behind and said in embarrassment, "Uncle Village Chief, I don't know how to drive an ox cart."
Seeing the young comrade's embarrassed face, Chen Defu sighed, "You just came here and you are not familiar with the road. Let me take you there!"
The village chief personally wanted to see them off, and Jiang Baige happily thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief."
They didn't delay for too long, as if they were late they would have missed the bus to the county town.
When the ox cart arrived in town, Chen Defu deposited it at an acquaintance's house.
Fortunately, there is still one last bus to the county town. The road from the town to the county town is not easy to travel on, and the fastest bus ride takes more than four hours.
Jiang Baige and Chen Defu helped Grandma Meng, and the three of them got on the bus and bought tickets.
Fortunately, the ticket was not expensive, only three yuan per person, and they found a seat and sat down after getting on the bus.
Jiang Baige sat with Grandma Meng and held her all the time, fearing that she would fall again if she wasn't paying attention.
The road was bumpy at that time, the car was shaking as it moved, and there was a strong smell of gasoline in the car.
Jiang Baige soon felt dizzy and vomited all the way.
After Grandma Meng got on the bus, she closed her eyes. I don't know if she fell asleep or what. Anyway, Grandma Meng didn't cry out in pain during the whole journey.
Jiang Baige really had to thank her for being fine along the way, otherwise she would have been thinking about vomiting and had to take care of the elderly, so how could she really bear it?
Seeing that Comrade Jiang was very carsick, Chen Defu switched seats with her and said, "Comrade Jiang, please sit here. Aunt Meng, I'll help keep an eye on you."
Jiang Baige couldn't bear to look at the car at all. After hearing what the village chief said, she quickly changed seats with her.
There were only a few people on the bus. When the driver heard someone vomiting violently, he turned around and said rudely, "Comrades in the back, be careful if you vomit. Don't stick your heads out too far. If we meet another car later, your head will be in danger."
After listening to the driver, everyone who was vomiting in the car put their heads back into the car.
It was already past five in the afternoon when the car arrived at the county town. At that time, the hospital, government and other government agencies were very close.
Chen Defu carried Grandma Meng to the hospital. Hearing the footsteps, the nurse on duty looked up at the person who walked in and said, "You're here so late. The doctor has already gone off work."
Jiang Baige asked hurriedly, "Don't you have a doctor on duty?"
The nurse glanced at her and said, "That's not good!"
Jiang Baige quickly replied, "I fell down. I don't know where I was hurt, but I just cried out in pain."
The nurse didn't know what she was writing on the paper, she just wrote quickly.
He spoke calmly, a little arrogantly, "Okay, go get admitted first! I'll call the doctor for you now."
No matter what others do, you still have to have your own attitude. Jiang Baige hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you."
She then said to Chen Defu, "Uncle Village Chief, can you help take care of Grandma Meng? I'll go and get her hospitalized."
Thinking that she was not familiar with the place, Chen Defu quickly said, "Let me go! I'm familiar with this place."
Jiang Baige was eager for someone to help her. She took out the money from her pocket, which she had prepared when she was in the car.
A stack of one-yuan and two-yuan notes, and two big unity notes, totaling about forty or fifty yuan, were all stuffed into the hands of the village chief.
Chen Defu looked at the money in his hand and said, "It's just medical treatment, it shouldn't cost so much."
Jiang Baige said, "Uncle, take it all. If it's not enough, I have some more here."
Seeing that she was serious, Chen Defu had no choice but to take it first.
"These should be enough. I'll go register first and return the rest to you when I come back," and then he hurried off to arrange for hospitalization.
Listening to them talking, Grandma Meng sat on the chair and listened quietly, and she didn't look like she was in much pain.
The young nurse called out from the other end of the corridor, "You two, follow me. The patient should go to the ward first."
You can go to the ward first. Jiang Baige squatted in front of Grandma Meng and said, "Grandma Meng, I'll carry you over."
Grandma Meng said weakly, "You have thin arms and legs, you're going to make me fall again. Okay, just hold me up, I can still walk now."
Grandma Meng thought to herself, "Since you were able to take me to the hospital, you must be a good person. I won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Baige thought, "As long as I provide good service, then Granny Meng will see that I'm well behaved and won't be reluctant to ask for less compensation.
Her ideas were completely the result of reading too much news from later generations. In fact, people of that era were very simple.
Jiang Baige supported Grandma Meng and limped to the ward.
There were two beds in the ward, which looked extremely simple. The quilts on the beds were very thin, looked dirty, and had a strange smell.
Grandma Meng was lying on the bed and Jiang Baige covered her with the quilt.
The doctor came quickly. He was a middle-aged male doctor in his forties or fifties.
After the doctor examined Grandma Meng, he found no internal injuries, and the only serious injury was a dislocated left arm.
There are just some scratches elsewhere, nothing serious.
Chen Defu went to arrange for hospitalization, but he didn't know how long he would need to stay.
Seeing the doctor present, he asked, "Doctor, how many days will I need to stay in the hospital?"
He thought that if he stayed for a day, he would take them back with him tomorrow.
What he was concerned about was that the village's ox carts were still stored at other people's homes. Although they wouldn't starve, the villagers would have to work much less without their oxen.
