Chapter 25 Delivering Medicine
There is a white cloth curtain hanging at the door of the infirmary, which can be seen from afar. In addition, it is made of red bricks, which is even more conspicuous. However, few people come in and out in normal times, and it is extremely deserted.
But during this period, several snowfalls occurred one after another, and the weather became colder day by day, and more and more people became sick with colds.
Although everyone is unwilling to get sick, they can't stand the illness and fall like a mountain.
What's more, winter is the peak season for influenza, and the infirmary always seems noisier than other seasons.
Xu Qing reached out and lifted a corner of the white cloth curtain and walked in with Qin Huairu.
There are indeed many patients inside, including those who buy medicine, and those who sit on the hospital bed with water and infusion, coughing and blowing their noses, one after another.
Xu Qing worked in the factory for half a year, but today is the first time he came. He looked around in the infirmary and found that it was no different from later generations, that is, there were fewer modern office facilities and various medicines. The only thing that remained unchanged was the doctor in a white coat and the stethoscope hanging on his body.
Xu Qing stood aside and after Qin Huairu bought Sanmaowu's cold medicine, the two of them left the infirmary together.
As soon as he came out, Xu Qing met Zhao Erlangzi. He wiped his blue nose with a handkerchief while sneezing, and obviously he had a cold.
However, thinking that Zhao Erlangzi took off his cotton jacket a few days ago in the cafeteria, shouting barely, but he wanted to fight Xu Damao in the snow. Such a cruel person was knocked down by the disease. Xu Qing felt that it seemed that Zhao Erlangzi was not a stubborn fight.
Zhao Erlangzi also saw Xu Qing, but he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. After all, he still remembered the beaten man in the public toilet, especially the injury on his head, but he had not healed yet.
Zhao Erlan was stunned for a moment, quickly lowered his head, hunched up, and quickly walked into the infirmary.
Xu Qing did not say anything or stop him, and continued to go out to the factory gate with Qin Huairu.
At this time, most of the workers in the factory had left, and the rest were leaving one after another. The snow on the ground was trampled in a mess, losing the pure whiteness in the early morning.
As soon as Xu Qing and Qin Huairu left the factory, they saw that there were very few pedestrians on the street. Although the small vendors who were originally engaged in business were still holding on, a few of them had already thought of closing their stalls. After all, there were no people on the street, there was no business, and it was snowing again. It was better to go back early and rest in the warm house.
As for the others, Xu Qing felt that he would not last long. Although life was not easy, the little money he earned in this snowy and wind gluttonous glutton would be lost if he caught a cold and got sick, and he would suffer.
The shops on both sides of the street are doing well. At least there is a house that can shelter from the wind and snow, so the shopkeeper doesn't care whether it snows or whether it blows.
Xu Qing and Qin Huairu didn't say anything along the way. It was too cold and they didn't have the heart to talk and didn't dare to open their mouths.
The sky was dark and the snow was falling again. The wind that blew from time to time rolled up the snowflakes on the ground and rushed towards people.
When he returned to the courtyard, Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law standing in the middle yard in the front yard, and hurriedly said to Xu Qing.
"Xu Qing, please send this medicine to Sha Zhu, I won't go to Sha Zhu's house."
Xu Qing took the cold medicine that Qin Huairu bought from her cotton jacket pocket, nodded, entered the intermediate yard, and walked towards Sha Zhu's house in diameter.
Jia Zhang looked at Xu Qing and entered the Shazhu's house, put his hands in the sleeves of the cotton jacket, and watched quietly.
It seems that she wants to see something? But what can she see?
The house in Shazhu is cleaner and more neat than Xu Damao's house.
As soon as Xu Qing entered, he saw Sha Zhu sitting on the kang, wearing a quilt, holding an enamel teapot and drinking hot water. His head was cupped, and a black and red mark fell into the middle of his forehead without any bias.
"Hey, Xu Qing, why are you here?"
Sha Zhu asked Xu Qing to sit down while coughing.
Xu Qing put the medicine in his hand in front of Sha Zhu.
"Brother Sha Zhu, Sister Qin asked me to give it to you."
Sha Zhu nodded, put the tea jar in his hand on the head of the kang, hurriedly opened the newspaper containing medicine, pinched one, threw it directly into his mouth, then turned around and grabbed the tea jar, took a sip of hot water.
Seeing that Sha Zhu's illness was not serious and he gave the medicine, Xu Qing got up and wanted to leave.
But Sha Zhu reached out and took out a cigarette and threw it to Xu Qing, which was considered a thank you.
Xu Qing came out of Shazhu House and then went back to his own house in the backyard.
As usual, the three little ones lay on the edge of the kang to do their homework. Xu Qing stood in the front room, reached out to pick up the kettle on the stove, looked at it, picked up the fire hook and plucked it, and then warmed up for a while, and then stepped into the kitchen.
The fire on the kitchen stove was also burning. Xu Qing sat on the bench and took out his bicycle ticket while the three little ones were doing their homework carefully in the front room, and they reached out to take out their bicycle tickets and began to separate.
Last night, Xu Damao had already inquired about someone who wanted it, so Xu Qing must hurry up.
More than half an hour later, seeing that most of the bicycle tickets were separated, they could be completely separated by a few more times. Xu Qing felt a little relieved.
But at this moment, Xu Damao ran to knock on the door again, with a bang and a bang and a bang and a bang, like a drum beat.
Xu Qing hurriedly put away the ticket, left the kitchen, and walked out of the house.
It was completely dark outside the house, but the snow seemed to be stuck in the world and refused to stop.
When Xu Qing saw Xu Damao standing at the door in snow again, he looked excited and asked hurriedly.
"Damao Pavilion, what's the matter?"
Xu Damao lowered his voice excitedly and lay in Xu Qing's ear and said, "It's done, brother, I saw the boy who asked for tickets today. The price is still the same, but it's just that I'm very urgent, which means I'll have it tomorrow."
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he trembled and smoked with his fingers, while asking Xu Qing:
"How are your tickets?"
"I'll give it to you tomorrow afternoon."
Xu Damao's eyes showed joy, and he reached out to hug Xu Qing's shoulders hard, looking really excited.
Xu Qing was also excited, but he was a little tired after spending his mental separation ticket just now.
After a while of greetings with Xu Damao outside the house.
Xu Qing went back to the house, walked to the three little ones, looked at it, then went into the kitchen and quickly made dinner.
At 8:30 in the evening, Xu Qing and the three little ones finished their supper, played with them in the front room for a while, and then checked the little girl's homework.
The third brother Xu Fengming lay beside Xu Qing, stretched his neck and followed him to see, making faces for the little girl from time to time.
Seeing that the little girl had no problem with her homework, Xu Qing reached out and patted Xu Fengming on the head.
"Give your homework, too."
Xu Fengming was unhappy. He curled his lips, walked aside, opened his schoolbag, took out his homework book, and gave it to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked through it and found that except for the sloppy handwriting, there was nothing else. He handed it back to Xu Fengming and asked him to put it back.
Xu Qing was not worried about Xu Aiguo's homework. He knew that his second brother was stable and although he was young, he never had to worry about his homework.
So I didn't look at it. I turned over and got off the kang, packed the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and cleaned them.
