Fortunately, there was a carriage, and the two of them arrived at the waiting place just after two o'clock.
Nowadays, cars only get delayed and fail to arrive on time, but they are not afraid that the car will leave early because this section of road is so bad.
The uncle asked, "Are we going to take the bus here? We're here."
Jiang Baige responded, "It's right here."
The carriage stopped and Jiang Baige helped Grandma Meng get off.
After she stood up, Jiang Baige came to the front.
She couldn't just ride in someone else's car for free, so she took out four salted duck eggs from her pocket.
"Uncle, thank you, you are a good man."
As she spoke, she put the salted duck egg into the uncle's pocket.
"Hey, you little comrade, you can't be so polite."
The uncle was talking to her while taking salted duck eggs out of his pocket.
Jiang Baige smiled and spoke to the uncle in a low voice.
"Salted duck eggs, cooked, just open and eat."
The uncle took out an egg from his pocket and looked at the salted duck egg in his hand.
There wasn't even a duck in their village, and he had never seen duck eggs this big.
When I heard the young comrade say that they were salted duck eggs, I felt a little sad for a moment. How much salt would it take to pickle them?
Thinking of his two little grandsons at home, he was reluctant to return it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll accept your favor. When you come back, I'll come pick you up."
This is hard to say, Jiang Baige said, "I don't know how many days my grandma will stay there! I won't bother you."
As they were talking, the steamer came.
The carriage was about to give way to the car, and Jiang Baige said, "Uncle, please hurry up and do your work! We'll meet again if we're destined to."
The uncle drove off in his carriage, "Little comrade, I'm from the Qinghe Brigade. My last name is Zhao. If you have time, come to our brigade and visit me."
Jiang Baige responded, "Okay uncle, go slower."
After the carriage left, Jiang Baige waved to stop the inflatable car.
I helped Grandma Meng onto the bus, bought a ticket and found a seat.
The weather is good in summer, and when we encounter better roads, the car runs much faster.
In the spring, it took about five hours to get to the county town, but now it only takes less than four hours.
When we got off the car near the hospital, it was already dark.
The two people came to the hospital, and it was the same young nurse. Jiang Baige recognized her at a glance.
Seeing her writing with her head down, Jiang Baige coughed lightly.
"Comrade, hospitalized."
The young nurse looked up at her and then at the old lady.
She had some memories of these two people. The granddaughter was pretty, but the grandmother had a sour face and a bad personality.
She stood up and asked, "You need to be hospitalized, why are you here now?"
Jiang Baige replied, "We came from the countryside, and it's not convenient to take a car, so we got here late."
She first said that she lived so far away that there was no way she could come.
The nurse said, "Then let's arrange for hospitalization first! The cafeteria is closed now, so you can take care of yourself tonight."
Jiang Baige took out money from her pocket and the nurse handed her the bill.
"Pay ten yuan first, and then pay more if the doctor sees you."
Jiang Baige took out another ten yuan from the twenty yuan she had prepared and said, "Okay, can a doctor come and see my grandma tonight? Her arm is itching unbearably."
The purpose of their coming was to remove the plaster, the sooner the better, and she also wanted the old lady to have a good sleep.
The car was shaking all the way here, and Grandma Meng kept scratching her arms, which looked very pitiful.
It was all her fault for not caring enough about the old lady. She didn't notice such a serious condition. If Grandma Meng hadn't told her herself, she probably wouldn't have discovered it.
Jiang Baige thought guiltily and waited earnestly for the nurse's reply.
The nurse said, "Go to Ward 201 first. There's already a patient inside. Please keep your voices down."
When Jiang Baige saw someone, she thought that she had no place to sleep at night.
He hurriedly asked, "Is there no vacant ward?"
The nurse gave her an unhappy look and said, "No, the ward is very busy recently. If you don't want to stay, go stay in the guesthouse."
The hospital only costs two dollars a day, while the guesthouse costs five dollars a day, so everyone wants to stay in the hospital.
Jiang Baige really didn't think so. She was not without money, so why should she suffer here?
"I don't care where you stay. Just go back to the ward and wait! The doctor will be here soon."
The nurse said this and went to call the doctor.
The nurse thought to herself, "A night in the hospital costs two dollars, and a guesthouse costs five dollars. Even country folks can't afford to stay in a guesthouse."
The young nurse's personality was still as arrogant as before, and Jiang Baige raised her eyebrows indifferently.
There was an old lady living in Ward 201. Jiang Baige took a look at the person on the bed as soon as she entered the room. Judging from her age, she was about the same age as Grandma Meng.
Jiang Baige said softly, "Grandma Meng, please go slower and don't bump into the stool."
When the people inside saw someone coming in, they followed them with their eyes.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Baige nodded to them in greeting.
He helped Grandma Meng sit on the bed and put the bag on the ground.
"Grandma Meng, let me help you take off your shoes. Go to bed and wait for the doctor to come soon."
As she spoke, she squatted down to help Grandma Meng take off her shoes.
Grandma Meng said, "You should rest for a while too. You've been riding in the car all afternoon. You must be tired!"
When Jiang Baige came here just now, she vomited all the way. Even eating two bags of spicy strips couldn't suppress her nausea. She would still vomit when she smelled gasoline.
She also had a car in the future, and she could drive it very fast without any problems. But she didn't expect that after coming here, she would vomit every time she took a ride.
Hearing Grandma Meng asking him to sit down, he nodded and said, "I'll pack my things first."
I took out the thermos, stainless steel lunch box and washbasin from my bag and placed them on the table, then I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
The old lady on the bed opposite stared intently at Jiang Baige and the others, and greeted them with a smile: "This old lady has difficulty using her hands."
Jiang Baige nodded at her and said, "I fell a while ago and came here to remove the plaster."
The old lady responded, "When people get old, their bones become brittle, so you should be more concerned."
Jiang Baige smiled at her. The old lady was very enthusiastic and gave people a friendly feeling.
Grandma Meng heard her and replied, "Yes! Such old bones are broken by a fall. Sister, what's wrong with you?"
People called her "Old Sister", so Grandma Meng naturally called her "Sister".
The old lady said, "I fell too. I've been here for several days, but the doctor won't let me leave the hospital. I'm already well, but lying here is so frustrating."
The woman next to her continued, "Mom, we should do whatever the doctor says. It's right to listen to the doctor."
The old lady sighed, "It costs a lot of money every day, and you're still here taking care of me. We can't even get enough work points for the two of us, and with this little food, we'll have much less to share during the New Year."
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she sat on the stool in silence, with little expression on her face.
There are eight people in their family who need food and drink. The mother-in-law's fall cost a lot of money, and they also borrowed a lot from relatives. I'm afraid they will have a hard time this year.
