Chapter 11: Check what happened back then
Chapter 11 Check what happened back then
Xu Jinning was taken into the building by Xu Aiguo and was seen by an old doctor.
There is no advanced medical equipment in this era, and basic diagnosis depends on the doctor’s eyes and experienced experience.
The old doctor observed Xu Jinning's complexion, took her pulse, listened to her heartbeat with a stethoscope, and measured her blood pressure...
I asked Xu Jinning some basic questions.
Last pass check down.
He looked at Xu Aiguo, who was a little nervous, and said, "The little girl's body is very weak..."
Xu Jinning’s health is very poor. He has been tired for a long time, even suffered serious physical losses, is severely malnourished, and is depressed...
“… There are no serious illnesses, but this physical loss is not a minor illness. If you don’t replenish your body and continue to suffer losses, it will affect your life span, and...”
The old doctor looked at Xu Jinning, "Little girl, you have to be happy. At such a young age, you can't be depressed or think too much."
Then he looked at Xu Aiguo, his eyes accusing and his expression serious, "As parents, you can't ignore your children like this."
"Yes, yes, we will, doctors." Xu Aiguo knew that Xu Jinning's health was not very good at first glance, but he did not expect that it would be serious enough to affect his life span.
Then the Lin family couple actually dared to say that they had taken good care of Ning Ning before. Is this the result of taking good care of Ning Ning?
Xu Aiguo was angry.
This anger is directed at the Lin family and his wife, as well as at himself.
He was angry at the Lin couple for lying, and also angry at the fact that fifteen years ago, he and his wife carried Ning Ning by mistake. If they had not carried Ning Ning by mistake, Ning Ning would have grown up well beside them these years.
“It’s good to know. Let’s do this. I’ll give the little girl a prescription and take the medicine. She’ll have to drink it for a while.”
“In addition, if possible, give your children more brown sugar water, malted milk, chicken soup, etc., and eat more eggs…”
…”
The old doctor gave a lot of advice, and finally Xu Aiguo took Xu Jinning out.
During this period, Xu Aiguo held Xu Jinning’s hand.
"Ning Ning, dad..." Xu Aiguo looked at Xu Jinning and wanted to say something, but facing this pale little face, he found that everything he said was feeble. He might as well make up for it later.
“Forget it, dad will take you to get some medicine, and then we’ll buy malted milk.”
Xu Jinning said "hmm", not sure if she saw it wrong. When Xu Aiguo turned his head, she seemed to see his slightly red eyes.
but…
Xu Jinning looked at the big hand holding his hand. It was probably because he had done too much physical work. The hand was rough and calloused.
But surprisingly warm.
This warmth seemed to spread from the palm of her hand to the bottom of her heart, giving her a strange feeling.
Xu Jinning still didn’t take his hand out.
Xu Aiguo grabbed 5 patches of medicine at the window of the hospital before leaving with Xu Jinning.
The father and daughter came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There were many people at the supply and marketing cooperative. Xu Aiguo and Xu Jinning squeezed through the crowd and finally came to the counter.
“Hello, comrade, do you have any malted milk?” Xu Aiguo asked.
The thirty-year-old woman in front of the counter said expressionlessly: "Shanghai brand malted milk, 3 yuan a can, do you want it?"
“Yes, give me 4 cans.”
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that Xu Aiguo would buy such expensive malted milk, but she understood when she saw the worker's clothes Xu Aiguo was wearing.
These days, not just anyone can afford malted milk.
Xu Aiguo took 1 Unity card and 2 pieces of one piece, and handed them over.
The Xu family's money is all in Zhang Ailian's house. Xu Aiguo pays his salary every month and also gives it to his wife.
This time when he went out, Zhang Ailian gave him a lot of money in advance, just to buy Xu Jinning's medical treatment and medicine and to buy malted milk. These days, malted milk is a nutritional supplement that only a few people can afford.
When people around him saw Xu Aiguo buying the 3 yuan worth of malted milk without hesitation, they all looked at him and marveled at his courage.
That’s 12 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month’s salary of a worker.
Some families may not be able to save these 12 yuan even if they live frugally in a year.
Can they not know that malted milk is a good thing?
You must know that, but it’s a pity that I can’t afford it.
Seeing Xu Aiguo buying malted milk without hesitation, Xu Jinning was also stunned for a moment.
【Dad actually bought me malted milk? I thought it was just talk. 】
After all, the original owner never drank malted milk in the three years before his death.
Let alone malted milk, I have never drank the brown sugar water at home.
Xu Aiguo, who carefully took the malted milk, suddenly seemed to hear the voice of his little girl.
When he turned his head and looked at the little girl, he saw the little girl looking at him in confusion.
“Ning Ning, did you just say something?”
Xu Jinning blinked, "No."
No?
Xu Aiguo thought, maybe he heard wrongly.
But when he bought Ning Ning malted milk, it was not just talk.
He stuffed the malted milk into Xu Jinning's arms, "Here, hold it. I'll put this malted milk in your room later. If you want to drink it, take it out and soak it in water. If you finish drinking it, tell dad, dad I’ll buy it for you again.”
So Xu Jinning sat on the back seat of the bicycle again, holding four cans of malted milk in his arms, and saw people on the road.
Whether they saw the bicycle or the malted milk in Xu Jinning's arms, they all showed envious eyes.
Of course, Xu Aiguo bought Xu Jinning not only malted milk, but also soap, towels, toothbrushes and other daily necessities.
These are hung on the front of Xu Aiguo's bicycle.
The bicycle stopped again, at the police station.
But this time Xu Aiguo did not let Xu Jinning follow him in.
“Ning Ning, you are looking at the bicycles and things outside. Dad asked your Uncle Zhang to do something. He will be out soon.”
Xu Jinning nodded.
Xu Jinning didn't know what Xu Aiguo was doing at the police station. Although she was a little curious, she wouldn't ask.
Here Xu Aiguo came to the police station to find one of his friends, Zhang Changzheng, who was also a police officer at the police station.
A few years ago, Zhang Changzheng was seriously injured while on a mission and fell in a remote place. At that time, he was the only one. If he had not been discovered, he might have died of excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, he was discovered by Xu Aiguo who happened to be passing by at the time. Xu Aiguo sent him to the hospital and paid for the medical expenses in advance.
Because he still had to go to work, Xu Aiguo left before anyone woke up.
Later, after waking up, Zhang Changzheng searched for several months before he found this savior and expressed his gratitude profusely.
After chatting for a while, the two of them had similar interests.
In the following few years, the two of them often moved around, and over time, they became good friends and good brothers.
Xu Aiguo came to see Zhang Changzheng this time to ask him to help find out what happened to his daughter when he was given the wrong baby, as well as what happened to the Lin family and their little girl in recent years.
