Although I was reluctant to thresh rice to sell, and although Cousin Lu said that I could only pay for the coal on credit during the Chinese New Year, I still felt a heavy burden in my heart because I owed money to others.

It has been sunny for several days in a row, and almost a thousand briquettes have been fired, which is more than enough to burn until the Chinese New Year. It is true that if the weather lasts, it will rain. It has rained for three days in a row. It makes people feel sad and confused.

Sese. I don’t know if so much rain will bring any disaster.

However, this crop is growing well. When it rains, I can see the rice seedlings growing a little longer. They have grown to be as tall as a person. They should be heading and bearing rice soon. I think it will take a while.

There will be fresh corn to nibble on. It will feel a sense of comfort inexplicably.

It rained continuously, and the black tiger didn't want to leave its kennel. Except for feeding it, it lazily climbed out of the kennel. Then it shook its fur, ate the dog food, and quickly got into its kennel.

Get up.

I don’t know why, but the briquettes were ready. When it rained, I actually caught a cold. It feels like a joke to say it. I can still catch a cold in this summer. But, I did catch a cold. How many times did it rain?

Oh my god, I've been having this cold for a few days. It's really uncomfortable, and my throat hurts even when I swallow saliva. Today, my nose started to run clear non-stop.

My nose is swollen just by blowing it. If I don't blow it, it will become uncomfortable and it feels like there is a pool of water in my nose. If I blow it, nothing will come out. Just let it go and it will flow again.

Didi. I feel really uncomfortable.

It's better to hold an umbrella and go to Dr. Hu in Qiaotou to pick up some medicine.

I took out the money in my bag and counted it again and again. Alas, there were only thirty-three yuan. Not a penny more, not a penny less. Such money! Why is it so little? A man held an umbrella and put it on.

I put on my rain boots and walked slowly towards the bridge.

I didn't feel anything while walking in the alley. But as soon as I walked onto the road, I started to feel cold. The closer I walked to the bridge, the colder it became. I felt like the wind was blowing on my body like needles pricking me. It was really cold and painful.

.I felt like I was shivering when I walked.

I finally walked to Dr. Hu's clinic. It was probably because of the rain that there were no patients. The door of the clinic was actually closed. I quickly slammed the door hard.

However, the door of the clinic was still closed. It seemed that the people inside did not hear the sound of banging on the door. I shouted hard: "Doctor Hu, Doctor Hu" and banged on the door hard. But, there was no response.

At this time, the rain actually started to fall harder. The wind blew harder and harder. I felt like I could hardly hold my umbrella. The wind and rain were blowing, and my clothes and pants were all wet. At this moment, this situation, this scene,

I couldn't help but burst into tears. I thought, would I die of illness in this wind and rain?

Just when I was about to despair, I couldn't care less about being polite or impolite, so I slapped and kicked Dr. Hu's door.

Suddenly a voice came from inside: "Who is kicking the door?"

I quickly shouted: "Doctor Hu! Open the door quickly! Doctor Hu! Open the door quickly!..."

Soon someone came to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I quickly got in. The person who came was Dr. Hu. He quickly closed the door again.

Doctor Hu: "Oh, young man, why did you come to my place when it's raining heavily?"

Me: "Dr. Hu, my cold seems to be a little serious. I can't stand it any longer. Please take a look."

Doctor Hu casually touched my forehead. "Hmm. It feels a little hot. It seems like I have a fever."

Then he took out a mercury thermometer and asked me to put it in my armpit. Then he sat down on the chair.

I quickly sat down on the chair obediently. But the rainwater on my body flowed along the chair to the ground, causing a puddle of water under the chair.

Doctor Hu: "Oh. Your clothes are all soaked. Sitting up like this is not an option. I'm afraid it will make it more serious. I'll pick up some medicine and take it back to you to take."

I felt like I was shivering from the cold. However, I still gritted my teeth and tried my best to control my body, not wanting it to shake.

After that, he asked me to take out the thermometer and show it to him. I handed the thermometer to him. When he took it and looked at it, he frowned. Then he looked at it a few more times. Then he said, "I can't pick up the medicine for you yet."

."

I quickly asked: "Why, Dr. Hu?"

He said, "Your body temperature is now 39.2 degrees. You have a high fever." After that, he asked me to open my mouth and say "ah". He took a cotton swab and pounded it in my throat.

My throat was so itchy and painful that I felt like I was about to vomit.

After pounding it for a few times, he took out the cotton swab and looked at it. Then he said, "Your tonsils are about to suppurate."

As soon as I heard that it was going to suppurate, I became anxious because I knew very well that a purulent tonsil would require surgery to remove it. Because a roommate in our dormitory had a purulent tonsil and was sent to the hospital for surgery.

.And the cost was extremely high. From admission to discharge, it cost more than 800 yuan in just a few days. More than 800 yuan, which is simply an "astronomical figure."

My throat was already sore, and it became even more uncomfortable when he hit me like this. I almost cried and asked, "Doctor Hu, do you not need surgery?"

Doctor Hu smiled: "Silly boy, who told you that you need surgery?"

When I heard that no surgery was needed, I felt relieved.

He said: "There is no need for surgery. But infusion is needed immediately."

When I heard about the infusion, I felt anxious again. Because "medicines are cheaper than injections, and injections are cheaper than infusions." I only had thirty-three yuan in my pocket, and I couldn't afford the infusion.

I quickly asked: "How much does Dr. Hu's infusion cost?"

Dr. Hu said unhurriedly: "I will give you antipyretic medicine, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and some nutritional supplements. I will give you medicine for three days in a row, four groups a day."

The medicine costs about seventy or eighty yuan."

Me: "Dr. Hu, can you just give me a day of infusion without any nutrition? Once you have it under control temporarily, you can just pick up some medicine and bring it back to me in the next few days and that's it."

He: "Don't worry, I won't charge anything arbitrarily. We all belong to the same village. This price is the cheapest."

Me: "Dr. Hu, that's not what I meant. The main reason is that I am young and have to bear it a little longer. And I have a lot of things at home. I don't have that much time to come here and lie down slowly for infusion."

He looked at me and then said: "Let's go. Go to the back to get the infusion first. Let the fever go down first. Your face is starting to burn red."

I followed Dr. Hu to the back. No wonder he couldn't hear me knocking on the door. It turned out that there was a courtyard behind the clinic, and behind the courtyard was the main room of his home.

When we arrived in the main room of his house, he asked me to sit on the small bench by the fire first. Then he asked his wife to go find some clothes. I felt a little strange, why did he ask his wife to find some clothes?

When Madam Hu went to find the clothes and trousers, he pointed to the room next to him, and then said to me: "Young man, where are you going to change out of all the wet clothes and trousers on your body? Put on your clothes. Madam Hu just found them."

Those old clothes. Those are my son's clothes. Although they are a bit old, they have been washed and put away. Change them and give them to your aunt to help you dry them when I give you the infusion later."

After saying that, Madam Hu handed me the clothes and said, "Go and change quickly, kid. You are dripping with water, and even those who don't have a cold will catch a cold."

At that moment, I was so surprised and so moved. I couldn't help but shed tears. I took the clothes and hurried to the next room, shivering, changed my clothes and came out.

Madam Hu had already cushioned the big bench by the stove with a blanket and was putting pillows on it. When she saw me coming out, she asked me to come over and sit on the big bench. She said, "Doctor Hu has gone to collect the medicine."

When I sat on the big bench, she said, "I'm going to help him get the IV pole."

Soon, they came in.

Dr. Hu asked me to stretch out my right arm. Then he wiped the sleeves of my clothes and tied my hands with a rubber tube. He asked me to clench my fist and inserted the infusion needle into the blood vessel on the back of my right hand.

Then he took some tape and stuck a small piece of plastic handle on the needle to my hand, and then simply folded the thin infusion tube behind the needle and stuck it on the back of my hand.

At this time, I saw the blood in my veins began to flow back into the infusion tube. I suddenly felt very sick, wanted to vomit, and felt dizzy. When he saw me like this, he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect you, a young man, to be dizzy with blood. Hurry up.

Turn your head to the side."

Then he slowly turned on the infusion device. I only felt a stream of cold liquid slowly flowing into the back of my hand, and then slowly entering my body.

After losing for a while, I quickly became very tired from sitting.

Dr. Hu may have noticed my discomfort. He supported me and asked me to slowly lie down on my back. Madam Hu also quickly helped put a pillow under my head.

I felt much more comfortable when I lay down. I quickly thanked Dr. Hu and Madam Hu.

Madam Hu said: "Thank you. You should take care of the patients."

Dr. Hu said to me: "Don't talk and have a good rest. If you feel tired, you can rest with your eyes closed, but don't fall asleep. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately."

I said: "Okay."

None of them spoke. Madam Hu was already helping me bake clothes.

After losing for a while, my right hand became very cold and painful.

I said, "Dr. Hu, my right hand hurts a lot."

Madam Hu said to Dr. Hu: "He may be suffering from cold pain due to the infusion. You can turn him down a little. I'll get a hot water bottle, fill him with some hot water, put it in his hand, that way it will be warmer. He doesn't have any pain."

It hurts so much.”

Under the careful care of Dr. Hu and Madam Hu, the fluid transfusion was completed and I felt much more comfortable than before.

I changed back into the clothes that Madam Hu had dried for me. I said, "Madam, I'll take the clothes back and wash them and return them to you."

Madam Hu said: "You're welcome. I have a washing machine at home and it will be done in a moment." I thanked Dr. Hu and Madam Hu very much and I was ready to go back.

I asked: "Doctor Hu, how much does it cost?"

Doctor Hu handed me a large bag of medicine, and then said: "I have picked up the medicine for you for three days. Take one with warm water every morning, noon and night. The number of pills you take is written on the paper medicine bag. Follow up.

After eating, don’t stop taking medicine when you feel better. That’s not very thorough. The cost of the infusion plus three days of medicine is a total of twenty-two yuan, which is the normal charge.”

When I heard what he said, I felt that the fee was too cheap. I knew in my heart that it was Dr. Hu who convinced me. I was very moved.

Dr. Hu obviously gave me up, but told me that it was "normal fee". He didn't want me to feel that I "owed him". Madam Hu was not related to me, but she was able to take care of me so carefully and enthusiastically. They

It is indeed the true "hanging pot to help the world" and "the doctor's parental heart". This "seed" of "being kind to others" has taken root deeply in my heart from that moment on.

I think that if I encounter a similar situation in the future, I must learn from Dr. Hu and his wife, try my best to help others, and try not to put a psychological burden on others.
