The current hospitals are far less crowded than later generations. Most people don’t come to the hospital when they are sick.
This may have something to do with the outdated equipment in the hospital, the shortage of medicines, and the fact that some senior doctors with high abilities have been driven to rural farms to fight.
But this has nothing to do with Jiang Liu. The wound on his head is a scary wound. In fact, he didn't hurt the inside. As long as the wound is not infected, there will be no major problem. It's just that he was full of head when he was sent. His blood was too intimidating, and the doctor in charge of him was a stupefied young man who had just graduated, so he was frightened at the time. In his judgment, he subjectively thought that Jiang Liu was too frightened, and told his family to keep Jiang Liu in the hospital. , hospitalized for a period of observation.
Counting the days, they have been in the hospital for three days. During the day, the nurses come over to inform Xu Xiuxiu to go through the procedures for discharge from the hospital, pack up and pack up, and they can go back.
"I'm going to the doctor to ask something, you follow the nurse comrade to go through the formalities."
After getting up in the morning, Jiang Liu's behavior was a little strange. Xu Xiuxiu looked at the husband who was evasive and unwilling to explain what he was looking for the doctor for, and he was a little puzzled.
The other party seemed to want to avoid her.
"OK."
However, Xu Xiuxiu didn't ask any further questions, just nodded, and then followed the nurse meekly to the accounting room of the hospital. She had to make a detailed communication about Jiang Liu's arrears of medicine fees for this hospitalization and the method of deduction afterward.
The three-day hospitalization cost a total of 123 yuan and 70 cents, of which the team paid 60 yuan, which does not need to be paid back. The remaining 63 yuan and 70 cents is also for ordinary farmers. Not a small amount.
Jiang Liu and Xu Xiuxiu were both led by the highest work points for men and women on the team. Jiang Liu was given 12 work points a day, while Xu Xiuxiu was given 8 work points. But now that Jiang Liu has been injured, I am afraid that he will not be able to do heavy-duty work for a long time. The couple's income will have a lot of twists and turns. As a result of the final communication, the hospital deducts 200 work points from the team where the couple is located every month until the deduction is enough to offset the work points of 63 yuan and 70 cents.
In this way, the remaining work points are enough for the couple's basic life, which is a very humane result.
When Xu Xiuxiu finished the formalities and returned, Jiang Liu had already returned from the doctor, but his face was even more ugly than when he left in the daytime.
It was as if the soul was out of the body, and the whole person was in a daze.
"Uncle Captain should come and pick us up later."
Xu Xiuxiu sorted out the couple's few things. After struggling for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Liuzi, what did you talk to the doctor just now? Why does it feel like you've lost your soul?"
Could it be that there is something wrong with this injury on his head, and there will be sequelae later
"No, nothing."
Jiang Liu panicked to avoid Xu Xiuxiu's gaze, and answered dryly after a while.
"We are husband and wife, you must not hide anything from me."
He didn't want to say that Xu Xiuxiu couldn't force her, so he could only pursed his mouth and lowered his head to make the bed, hiding this doubt in his heart.
*****
"It's back, Liuzi is back."
These days, many people on the team are worried about Jiang Liu's situation. Except for Yu Xiao, Jiang Liu is diligent and honest, and willing to help others. He has a good reputation on the team and has many friends, so I know that he is back today. , Many people gave up their work in the fields and took time to visit Jiang's house.
All of a sudden, the small courtyard of the Jiang family was full.
"Liuzi, what did the doctor say, you're fine." Everyone asked with concern.
"It's nothing."
Jiang Liu's expression was a little silent, and he forced the corners of his mouth to tug at the corners of his mouth. He didn't look like he was fine as he said.
Seeing such a husband, Xu Xiuxiu's strange feeling became even more turbulent.
"You've lost so much blood, so take a good rest these days. Your family doesn't lack that bit of work. You've spent so much money on seeing a doctor before, so you can't let that money go to waste."
Jiang Liuke had shed a lot of blood before, and even after a few days of recuperation in the hospital, his face was still pale, and he looked like he was suffering from ischemia.
"Bah, who doesn't lack that little bit of work points? It doesn't hurt to stand and talk with you one by one."
Miao Caifeng was the first one who came out to fight people. She had already heard that her son owed a lot of money to the hospital for seeing a doctor. From now on, the couple would have to deduct half of the work points earned by the couple from the hospital every month. Filling the stomachs of their husband and wife, there is not much left to help the family.
Under this circumstance, some conscientious people dared to encourage her son to rest. Maybe they thought that the two old men would not be able to help him pay his debts.
"Our family Liuzi is in good health. If he is not well, the doctor can let him come back and rest? Take a break and you can go to work in the afternoon."
Miao Caifeng put her hands on her hips, then watched Jiang Liu lowered her anger a little, and said to the always filial son with a helpless look: "Boss, it's not that my mother is cruel, but the family is really difficult. Big brother, you always have to be wronged, take care of the family, and your mother loves you, but if the conditions at home are better, mother will not do this."
As she said that, the old lady was about to go forward and pat the head of her son, who had been an adult for many years. She knew in her heart that this was what this son liked the most.
"Mom, I want to rest for a while. The doctor said that I have to take a good rest. If possible, eat an egg a day to replenish my body."
But this time Jiang Liu didn't do what the old lady wished. He lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said in a low voice.
"What! Rest? One egg a day? Boss, are you stupid?"
After Miao Caifeng heard Jiang Liu's words, her hand that she had stretched out stopped in mid-air, with a look of disbelief, that her own honest, honest, hard-working old scalper dared to make such an outrageous request to her.
"The eggs at home are all fed by Xiuxiu. On weekdays, didn't my mother make egg custard for the second brother and the founding army and founding party every day? Now, under special circumstances, stop their eggs for a while. When I am healthy, I will Stop eating eggs."
The Jiang family has not yet separated, and now there are five hens and one rooster in the family. In addition to saving up the eggs to send to the purchasing station, only the old couple, younger brother Jiang Hai and his two sons can enjoy them.
In the past, the original body felt that this was a matter of course. The parents were elders and needed filial piety. The younger siblings were twins. The only two male grandsons in the family, no matter how good they are, they deserve it.
Under this theory, it is the original couple who pay the most, but in this family, they enjoy the worst treatment.
"Boss, boss, your heart is so dark, why, just because your brain is open, you want to surpass me, let me tell you, my father and I are not dead yet, besides, why are you embarrassed Grab eggs with your two nephews, and don't even think about how old you are. Your daughter-in-law didn't even give you an egg. If you don't have any children in your life, you will have to rely on your two nephews to support you in the future. , Now you grab the child's eggs, do you want to cold the hearts of the two nephews?"
It has been ten years, in Miao Caifeng's opinion, this son is destined to be cut off and no grandchildren. In the future, she can only wait for the support of the second child and the family. The older generation attaches great importance to the worship after death. The eccentric Miao Caifeng was even more blatantly eccentric.
Because she knows this in her heart, and if she speaks this truth, many of the older generation on the team will stand with her and feel that her actions are not wrong.
As soon as Miao Caifeng said these words, Jiang Liu became even more silent. His whole body seemed to be enveloped by black air, which was indescribably gloomy and depressed.
"Isn't it just an egg, the child is still young and doesn't need such good nutrition."
"That's right, Aunt Miao, what you said would hurt the child's heart too much."
The villagers around you are saying good things for Jiang Liu one by one. Isn't this a special situation? You don't see Jiang Liu making a fuss about eating eggs on weekdays.
"You only have two grandchildren. In the future, the eldest will have no children. Don't you have to have two nephews for old age? If you don't coax and hold them now, why should the two children honor his uncle?"
Miao Caifeng put her hands on her hips, full of confidence.
More and more people can't stand Miao Caifeng's arrogance and domineering, and the voices of discussion and pointing are getting louder and louder. When the quarrel was raging, he suddenly pushed the crowd away, rushed to the kitchen and rushed out with a kitchen knife, ran straight to the chicken pen, grabbed a chicken, and directly brought the knife to the lively rooster in his hand. A cut throat.
"Hey, a thousand knives, what are you doing, I think you've broken your brain."
Miao Caifeng was stunned on the spot. It was a big cock that had been raised at home for a year. It was a big cock that could be bought for at least ten yuan at the purchasing station. Jiang Liu didn't say a word, and gave it in front of her. slaughtered.
"Yes, I'm crazy, I just want to eat a few eggs. I paid so much for this family, I can't even eat a few eggs!"
At this moment, Jiang Liu broke out after silence, "Mom, let me ask you, am I your biological child, I bruised my head before, but my consciousness is still awake, I heard that you are not willing to pay me I comforted myself that I really had no money at home, but now I just want to eat a few eggs to nourish my body, and I want to rest for a while. You don’t agree with such a small request. The second is your son, the younger sister is your daughter, and I, Jiang Liu, are the garbage you picked up from outside."
His questioning not only did not let Miao Caifeng accept it, on the contrary, because he killed the rooster at home, Miao Caifeng's anger was rushing towards his head, and his words became more mean.
"What qualifications do you have to compare with your younger brother. Your younger brother gave birth to two grandchildren to our Jiang family, and you and your wife gave birth to a son and a half daughter in the family. You are a conscience, and you deserve to be cut off."
It was the first time that her always filial son disobeyed her, which made Miao Caifeng feel that her authority was being challenged.
"Yes, I am dead."
Jiang showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "The doctor also said that in my life, there is a high chance that I will have no children. I am a waste, and I am not a man."
"Xiuxiu and I don't have children, it's not her problem, it's me, it's me, I was a bull and a horse in the first half of my life, and I treated myself badly, so that I can't be a father now. It was my fault that I was also cursed by my own mother to cut off children and never grandchildren."
Jiang Liu's words were like a thunderbolt out of thin air, scaring the people in the yard quite a bit.
What does he mean by this, he is looking for a doctor in the hospital for an examination, and the doctor tells him that he cannot have children
"Xiuxiu, hurry up and boil the water, I want to eat meat, I also want to eat eggs and white rice, I want to make up my body."
Jiang Liu's lips pursed tightly: "I want to have a child, whether male or female, from today onwards, I will not treat myself badly, nor will I treat you badly, we are still young, let's take good care of them. Body, try to have a child that belongs to both of us."
Holding the knife in one hand and the rooster in the other, he said to Xu Xiuxiu with a pleading look in his eyes.
Admitting in public that he can't give birth is an extreme challenge to self-esteem for both men and women. Jiang Liu is very afraid that Xu Xiuxiu will divorce him because of this. After all, he is a man sentenced to death by a doctor, and Xu Xiuxiu may not have a problem. , without him remarrying, maybe she can become a mother.
"it is good."
Now Xu Xiuxiu finally understood why her husband was so wrong all day today, she nodded, wiped her eyes with her sleeve and went straight to the kitchen.
She has not had children in these years, and all the pressure is on her. In fact, if Jiang Liu wanted to, he could keep this matter a secret, and then let everyone accuse her of being a hen who didn't lay eggs, but Jiang Liu didn't. He returned her innocence, and Xu Xiuxiu felt that she wanted to continue living with Jiang.
"Mom, if you don't like me, a son who has no children and no grandchildren, we will split up the family. In the future, I won't be so silly to help my younger brother and younger sister. I want to live my own life."
Jiang Liu left Miao Caifeng, who had been stunned, and followed Xu Xiuxiu into the kitchen. The moment he turned his head, there was a hint of ease and cunning on his face.
These days, it is really not easy to eat a chicken justifiably.
