Chapter 187 The rain stopped
No matter how upset Zhuang Shouren was, life had to go on as usual.
People with colds and fevers appeared in the construction team in large numbers, and the barefoot doctors started to have high fevers due to running around and being exposed to the rain too much.
My goodness! The construction team was paralyzed because of this unsuccessful harvest.
Someone at the educated youth camp also caught a cold. Because of what happened a few days ago, they didn't even think of asking a barefoot doctor for medicine. They just took a few cents and went to the backyard to find Wu Aiqing.
Wu Aiqing did not refuse. He had already dried the herbs and was planning to sell them at a purchasing station later, and he happened to need them now.
Xiong Lijin looked at the people who were sneezing due to stuffy noses, and when chatting with Fu Biao, he told them to be careful to avoid getting infected.
"They usually hang out in the front yard, so just stay away from them." Fu Biao nodded, indicating that he would pay attention.
Fortunately, because of the rain, the villagers rarely went out, and the harvest work was over, so everyone could stay at home to rest and recuperate.
The strong smell of herbs filled the air in the brigade. Although traditional Chinese medicine is not allowed now, the conditions are there. So many people are sick with colds. If we only rely on the few pills in the medical station, who will be able to treat them?
The barefoot doctors could only rely on the notes they made long ago and take some healthy women to the mountains to collect herbs and boil them.
In special circumstances, no one would say anything inappropriate.
And Yi Chi, who was halfway up the mountain, couldn't help but feel a little gloating.
He had previously used the excuse of being sick to avoid work, and a lot of other things happened afterwards, so the team might have forgotten about him, so he was lucky enough to watch the whole thing and just take care of his own health every day.
The people in the team and he seemed to be two extremes, one gaining ground while the other diminishing. Now that group of people are in trouble, Yi Chi's life is becoming more and more interesting.
Except for the fact that Jiang Yu, whom he missed so much, was away from home, everything was going in a better direction.
Yi Chi held Tuanzi, who had come to shelter from the rain, and lay on the kang listening to the sound of the rain. The crackling sound was so pleasant to hear.
Tuanzi rested her head on his shoulder, her chest snoring, and she stretched out comfortably with her eyes slightly closed.
At the hospital, Erni and her grandmother, who were in the bed by the window, were becoming increasingly anxious.
Although Er Ni'er is not very old, she is sensible. She knows that every day she lives here is very expensive, and she also feels sorry for the money.
This was especially true for my grandmother. With the constant rain, she was worried about the food in the fields and she looked visibly haggard.
Although Jiang Yu and Xue Li were not worried, they also understood their feelings. Recently, both sides have been trying their best to maintain superficial harmony, ignoring each other and living their own lives.
But if the grandma is still upset, it’s hard to say whether she will cause trouble later.
The continuous heavy rain lasted for more than ten days and finally stopped one afternoon. The glaring sun shone through the gradually thinning clouds, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yu looked at the long-lost sunshine and smiled. Finally, he didn't have to go out with an umbrella anymore.
Moreover, when it rains heavily, an umbrella is basically useless. After going out, most of your clothes and pants will be wet when you come back.
Xue Li lay firmly in bed for half a month. Seeing another patient in her room packing up and leaving, she also wanted to go back to the educated youth center.
Although the small room was small and depressing, it was her only private space in the world. She wanted to go back to the room very much, even if she could only lie in bed, it was better than living in the ward all the time.
"Yu'er, can I be discharged from the hospital?" Xue Li asked Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at her and saw that she was also very eager, so he had to say, "I'll go ask the doctor."
"Okay." Xue Li nodded excitedly.
The doctor who was in charge of recording Xue Li's condition was soon called over by Jiang Yu. He looked at the notebook in his hand and advised, "I suggest you stay for another week. Your injuries are quite serious. If you must be discharged now, it's fine, but you also know that your bones are broken. Anything wrong will affect healing, or even dislocation..."
"I'll stay, I'll stay, I'll stay for another week!" Xue Li immediately gave up the idea of leaving the hospital. What a joke! Dislocation? Wouldn't I be lame if the bone was crooked? No way! Absolutely not!
Ginger Fish was happy and gave up so quickly.
The doctor was satisfied. He put away his notebook and said to Xue Li, "If you feel too bored, go to the window and look outside. You have so many books to kill time, but pay attention to your arms and legs and don't use too much force."
"Got it, doctor." Xue Li nodded obediently.
Not long after the doctor left, people from the construction team arrived.
The brigade's tractor came out again to pick up the patients.
Several injured people in the inpatient building can be discharged now. It took more than ten days and no one knows how much money was spent. The villagers are heartbroken.
Jiang Yu and Xue Li, one standing and one sitting, watched the tractor downstairs go away.
"Did you say Lin Anna has been discharged from the hospital?" Xue Li finally remembered this woman again. She looked at the tree across the street with a steady tone.
Jiang Yu nodded, "She probably doesn't deserve to stay in the hospital until she recovers."
Yes, of course she didn't deserve it. Four days ago, the police station sent her to the cowshed of the Construction Brigade in the heavy rain.
Xue Li took a deep breath, "Jiang Yu, if it were you, how would you deal with Lin Anna?"
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. His inner answer was to destroy the body, but he still said carefully, "On the premise that she won't be exposed, let her pay the price."
There are many ways to avoid being exposed, and Jiang Yu has plenty of ways to deal with Lin Anna.
Whether it's releasing poisonous snakes or setting traps, accidents are everywhere.
Xue Li nodded. She knew the importance of not exposing herself, but she was not sure if she could do it.
How can I get Lin Anna to take those antidepressants? Mix them in food? Or in water? But this kind of medicine needs to be taken for a period of time before it works. Is there any way to do it?
Jiang Yu didn't know what Xue Li was thinking, but there was no rush about this matter. What needed to be confirmed now was whether the person had returned to the construction team.
Not long after, Chen Jinghan and several other male educated youth came over on their bicycles.
Wu Aiqing also brought some pheasant soup over, which they had caught in the mountains in the morning when the rain subsided.
Coincidentally, there were no new patients admitted to Xue Li's ward, so the few of them gathered together and had a good chat.
Wu Aiqing put the chicken soup on the bedside table and opened the lid to let it cool.
The other people brought their own stools and sat in a circle.
Jiang Yu asked them if they wanted to eat apples and canned food. Xue Li had recently consumed too much sugar and had never opened a can of food.
Several male comrades shook their heads and said, "Leave it for you to eat. We just came to see Xue Li because the weather is good." Xiong Lijin refused.
Xue Li has been resting well and eating well recently. Although he is in the hospital due to injuries, he looks visibly rounder.
