"I hope so! Is this patient's family really that difficult?"
Ye Zhiqiu started to act out. He started by talking about how many children they had raised! He then said that their house collapsed under the weight of snow in the winter, and that Lao Wang had injured his foot and it took him a year to get so fat! After all this boasting, the nurse was almost crying.
Finally, the nurse quietly told them they didn't need to pay if they didn't have money, as they would contact the relevant authorities for reimbursement later. After they were fully treated, they could leave. They were absolutely not to ask for medical bills or receipts, as they would still be charged.
Hearing the two of them nodding repeatedly and thanking the petite and cute nurse, she felt embarrassed.
After she left, Lao Wang said gratefully, "Xiao Zhiqiu, thank goodness you're here! Otherwise, I don't know if I'd have enough money to pay for my medical treatment. But didn't you lose your memory? How come you still remember that I broke my leg and that the house collapsed three years ago?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "No... I was just making it up. Old Wang, you've broken your leg before, and your house has really collapsed, right?"
Seeing Wang Tiezhu nodding earnestly, Ye Zhiqiu was a bit dumbfounded. What? Did he actually have a bruise on his mouth? The things he just casually said actually happened!
Neither of them had eaten dinner and was feeling a little hungry, but it was so late and they didn't know if there was anywhere to eat.
Ye Zhiqiu used the excuse of going out to smoke, and after a stroll, he couldn't find any food. They were all closed at this time.
He simply picked a dozen tomatoes in the space and brought them back in his clothes pocket.
After coming in, he gave one to each of the two nurses on duty, then returned to the sofa before preparing to ask Lao Wang to eat.
The door opened, the doctor came out, and the two of them hurried forward.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
"Doctor, what's going on?"
The doctor pressed his hand down, and the two of them stopped talking and waited quietly for the doctor's answer.
"The situation is still optimistic. The patient's physical condition is quite good, but I can't say for sure she's fine right now. She'll be transferred to the ward for hospitalization and observed for three days. If there are no signs of deterioration during this period, it means she's made it."
Wang Tiezhu's heart ached when he heard this, but Ye Zhiqiu was relieved. Because he knew that doctors always say this, they won't give you a guarantee, but in fact, it means that the patient has been saved.
So he quickly said to the doctor: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor! Your medical skills are really superb! Many people say that they can't be saved after being bitten by a ground snake. Fortunately, you were able to save someone from my village! This is the mother of three children. If you really couldn't save her, I can't imagine what would happen..."
The doctor smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, both of you. Patients in this condition generally recover! Okay, follow the nurses and transfer the patient to the ward. You can contact them if you need anything."
Lao Wang quickly said: "Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor..."
Ye Zhiqiu followed and forced two big red tomatoes on the doctor, saying that he had worked so hard and that eating a sour and sweet tomato would help him stay awake.
Ye Zhiqiu brought back a dozen tomatoes and shared them among the nurses. The remaining two and Lao Wang each ate one to fill their stomachs.
In this ward with four beds, there was only one patient, He Xiaolian. Ye Zhiqiu didn't hesitate to say hello to Lao Wang, and went straight to a bed and lay down to sleep.
Wang Tiezhu was still sitting beside the bed, holding He Xiaolian's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Ye Zhiqiu slept until dawn. Seeing that he woke up, Wang Tiezhu asked Ye Zhiqiu to watch over him while he went out to buy food.
He didn't argue with Old Wang and agreed. He knew that rural people at that time were like this, always wanting to repay a favor, so he didn't reject Wang Tiezhu's kindness.
When Wang Tiezhu came back with breakfast, the two of them started eating. He bought three steamed buns for himself and one meat bun and two vegetable buns for Ye Zhiqiu.
There's no way to give in to him, so just eat it. This is his way of expressing gratitude. Refusing will make him uncomfortable.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the doctor on duty came over with another doctor and explained the situation. They examined He Xiaolian again and confirmed that there was nothing serious. Only then did the doctor on duty leave. He was so dedicated!
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu said to Wang Tiezhu, "Old Wang, I'm going to go to the factory. Since Aunt He is fine, she will probably wake up soon. When she wakes up, ask the nurses if Aunt He can eat.
If you can eat, be sure to ask if there are any dietary restrictions. I'll come back here after I finish my work at the factory."
Wang Tiezhu carefully memorized Ye Zhiqiu's words and then said to him, "I've got it. Xiao Zhiqiu, go and do your business first! If I have any questions, I'll ask the nurses."
After giving a few more instructions, Ye Zhiqiu left the hospital. To be honest, he was too unfamiliar with the capital and didn't even know how to run a brewery, so he just wandered around aimlessly.
Before he knew it, he came to a place that looked like a stall, but many people were displaying things so that no one could see what they were doing, though the signs had it written on them.
There are various brands of exchange: chicken, fish, rabbit, etc., and I don’t know what to exchange for!
Exchange? Ye Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, and he understood. Could this broken place be the Pigeon City?
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it. In this era, private stalls were not allowed to trade, but the wisdom of the masses was infinite! Since trading was not allowed, why not exchange it?
