Chapter 153 Pediatric Emergencies
The green chicken feather vegetables are full of vitality in the sunshine, which makes people happy to see.
Lin Zisu picked a handful of Chinese cabbage and threw it into the vegetable bowl. The small vegetable patch in the yard was already lush and green.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the yard door. Lin Zisu patted the dirt off her hands and went to open the door.
"Wen boy! Su girl! Open the door!" Old Mrs. Wang's loud voice rang out outside the yard.
"Grandma, I'm coming." Lin Zisu pulled the wooden latch on the door. As soon as the door was opened, Dahei rushed into the yard, wagging his big tail.
Old Lady Wang scolded the dog: "You ungrateful dog, you stay here all day long."
"Hahahahahaha... Grandma, Grandpa, come in and sit down! Have some water!" Lin Zisu wanted to laugh when she heard what her grandma said. She stepped aside and let the two come in to rest.
Old Man Lin waved his hand and said, "No, your uncle and aunt will be back from work soon."
"I don't have the time to sit here. Do you want some grass?" Old Lady Wang said as she took the basket off her back.
Lin Zisu quickly stopped her, "Grandma, there is grass in the mule shed! Those kids will bring grass in the morning, no money needed. The vegetables in the garden are ready to eat, I just picked some greens, you can take them back and eat."
Shen Xianglan was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. After waiting for a long time for the leafy vegetables to arrive, she came out and saw her parents-in-law standing at the gate. "Dad, Mom, the food is ready. Let's have dinner here before we go back!"
Old Man Lin waved his hand and said, "No more eating, no more eating. Your brother and sister-in-law will be back soon."
"Let's go, let's go." Old Mrs. Wang said as she walked forward.
The two old people were in a hurry to go back and cook. They spent the whole afternoon wandering around the fields nearby. It was getting late. Although the fourth family did not live with them, they often sent them food, clothing, and good things. They didn't say anything. The fourth family wanted to live alone for peace and quiet, so they let them do what they wanted.
The family didn't prepare any dishes tonight, just stir-fried pork with pickled cabbage and stir-fried broccoli with lard and garlic. Shen Xianglan didn't try to persuade them to stay, and took the basin to the water pipe to wash the broccoli.
Shen Xianglan: "Go in and watch the fire."
Lin Zisu touched the dog's head and went to the kitchen to check the fire.
The seeds of Chinese cabbage can be eaten in more than 20 days after being planted. Her family's Chinese cabbage can be eaten, but there is no news from the newspaper yet.
The two siblings waited for two weeks. After the first week of waiting, they went to ask. The staff didn't say that they didn't like it, but just said that the editor-in-chief hadn't come back yet and there were too many manuscripts, so they had to wait a little longer.
Lin Zisu is writing a novella, and she has already finished one third of it. Lin Xianwen has written several short stories.
Shen Xianglan found a job in a pharmacy. The salary was not high, but it was easy. Lin Youcai went to a nearby village to teach a beginner class. The salary was good, and there was also a subsidy. Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen were the only two idle people in the family. It was also because of them that they got full marks in the monthly exam in a short period of time and were promoted to the intermediate class. Otherwise, Old Lady Wang and Old Man Lin would have complained about them.
The two siblings planned to go to the newspaper office tomorrow to inquire about the situation. If there was no hope, they would have to find a job. Although the family was not rich, they had enough food and drink for them.
It's not that they are highly conscious, but they are too bored. In this era, if you want to lie down, there is no Internet! Without electronic products and the Internet, you are really too idle and lack spiritual food.
The two siblings' current hobby is to join in the fun, listen to gossip from other places, and listen to everyone talk about their experiences working outside.
They followed the old man and the old woman to hunt in the wild nearby, but they could only pick some wild vegetables, weeds, and herbs. They were fresh for a few days, but then they were boring. The good things were in the deep mountains and old forests, and they were unfamiliar with the place. It was not a serious shortage of food and drink, so who would eat without suffering, and who would give up their lives without suffering.
After thinking it over, I decided to go to work! I could earn some money, improve my food, and have someone to chat with.
During the day, Qingshui Community is deserted in the morning, but a few elderly people go out to pick wild vegetables in the afternoon. Children are in kindergarten, while older children, teenagers, and adults are working outside.
The Qingshui City residential area is only popular during the daytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Everyone is busy and rushing for life. This rush is something everyone enjoys and likes. They just hope that such days can last longer.
When Lin Youcai came back, the family of four sat in the main room to eat, with Dahei squatting beside them, not making any noise.
After dinner, my father washed the dishes. After we cleaned up, the four of us went to Lin Lizheng's yard to teach everyone the content of the beginner class. Everyone tried to take the exam at the end of April, and some of them would graduate.
There is a junior class where graduates can work as temporary workers, and the salary is higher. If you can write and calculate, you don't have to worry about being cheated.
Lin Youcai and Tao Mingyuan had nothing special to do, so they would go to help everyone study every night. Lin Zisu, Lin Xianwen, and Shen Xianglan only went from time to time, as they were busy with their own things most of the time. Teaching is not an easy job, they can study on their own, and they can get some pointers, but they can't handle teaching the whole time.
The lights in Lin Lizheng's yard were turned on. Lin Youcai and Lin Youfu hung up the lights and prepared to start tonight's teaching.
Adults and children all sat on small stools, holding notebooks and pens, and followed Lin Youcai to read the pinyin letters.
Lin Zisu, Shen Xianglan, and Lin Xianwen stood aside, waiting for the previous teaching to be over. When everyone was doing their homework, anyone who had questions or didn't know how to do it could ask them.
Shi Tao sat between Lin Hongmei and Shi Yong, and the 4-year-old child would follow them and read attentively every night when he came to study.
Lin Hongmei, her husband, her son, and her father-in-law rented a small courtyard of type 1, which was just right for their family to live in. Lin Hongmei's courtyard and her fourth brother's courtyard were separated by several courtyards.
You can choose to rent a yard, provided there is an empty yard to choose from. The occupancy rate of the community is very high. Everyone rents in Qingshui No. 3 Community, so there is not much room for choice. Whichever yard is left and looks good, you move in.
Shi Tao huddled up against his mother. Lin Hongmei, who was following along in reading pinyin, turned to look at the child. "Tao'er, are you sleepy?"
When Shi Yong heard his wife's voice, he also looked at the child, "How about, Daddy will hold you while you sleep." As he said that, he reached out to hold the child.
Shi Tao just felt cold and his stomach hurt, as if there were worms rolling and stirring in his stomach. He clenched his hands into fists, and he couldn't speak because of the pain.
Lin Hongmei looked down at her son. Under the bright light, his face was pale and covered in sweat. It was still cold in April, so where did the sweat come from?
She was so scared that she shouted loudly: "Tao'er! Tao'er! Don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shi Yong quickly held the child in his arms, touched his forehead and face, and stood up anxiously holding the child.
When Old Man Shi heard his daughter-in-law's voice, he hurried over. "What...what happened?! She was fine after having dinner just now."
Lin Hongmei then stood up, her eyes searching for Shen Xianglan, and she shouted, "Fourth sister-in-law! Fourth sister-in-law!! Fourth sister-in-law!!! Please help me look after Taoer!! Taoer..."
While several people were talking loudly, Lin Youcai stopped and walked towards this side.
Lin Zisu also noticed something was wrong at the first moment. She quickly patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, go and have a look. Is the child sick?"
Before Lin Zisu could finish her words, Shen Xianglan strode over.
When Shen Xianglan walked over, she saw that the child's eyes were closed, his face was full of pain, and his face was pale. She felt the child's pulse and shouted loudly: "Shi Tao! Shi Tao! Shi Tao!!!"
She opened the child's eyelids and found that the child was unconscious. "Hurry up and send him to Qingshui Hospital! Lin Youcai, hurry up and get a car! Hurry up!!!"
