Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Chapter 172: Medical Treatment in the Capital

As they walked back, Zhang Xiuhua saw so many people wandering around the streets doing nothing and guessed that they had no jobs.

"The security here isn't good either, right?!" Zhang Xiuhua remembered that a crackdown would soon begin.

Li Jianguo nodded, "It's the same across the country. Cities can't provide so many jobs. Now there's no going to the countryside, so we can only hang out on the streets."

"In fact, they can go to the south to work?!" In her previous life, Zhang Xiuhua fled to Pengcheng to work. At first, she was not a nanny, but a factory girl. Half of her income was deducted by the team leader.

"It's not that easy. Pengcheng is also under control, and many people have been sent back." Li Jianguo suddenly thought of Jidong. "If he gets admitted to university, I'm worried about such a young child coming to the capital."

Zhang Xiuhua also remembered it after he reminded her, but she didn't take it to heart, "Jidong is not as naughty as Youcai. He must be reading books and doing experiments in college. He usually doesn't like to join in the fun."

Li Jianguo thought about it and agreed.

"The clothes here are so pretty." Zhang Xiuhua stared at the pretty girls. She had always wanted to buy this kind of knee-length skirt in her previous life. But because her family needed money, she never bought it once.

Seeing that she liked it, Li Jianguo took her to the mall and said, "If you like it, buy one. It's not easy to come to the capital, you have to buy something to take back!"

Zhang Xiuhua was persuaded by him, and the two of them went to the mall.

The clothes here are very new and I heard that most of them are from Shanghai. There are no southern products yet.

Zhang Xiuhua had seen southern goods in the mall in her hometown before, but it seemed that they were all scams, as the styles were not new at all. On the contrary, the Shanghai goods were very fashionable.

Especially the dresses, there are many colors, including pink, white, light yellow, and black.

In the past, Zhang Xiuhua always liked to buy dark-colored clothes because they were less likely to get dirty. But this time, she fell in love with a white dress, which was so beautiful.

Li Jianguo also thought the white dress looked better, "Let's buy this color."

"But this color gets dirty easily, and I have to do a lot of work on a daily basis." Zhang Xiuhua doesn't do much housework, but she wants to raise chickens.

"It's okay. You can change it when you feed the chickens." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "You should have worn more nice clothes when you were young."

Zhang Xiuhua chuckled, "If you don't know me, you might think I'm a salesperson."

The main salesperson was chatting with the person next to him and didn't come to sell anything at all. After all, they were paid by the government. Zhang Xiuhua sighed, no wonder the state-owned shopping malls could not continue to operate, the service attitude was speechless.

After buying the dress, Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo to buy a shirt as well, "You look good in a shirt!"

"Forget it! I have to wear a police uniform when I go to work, so it would be a waste if I buy one." Li Jianguo refused to buy it no matter what. He didn't want to waste this money.

He began to pick out clothes and shoes for several children.

According to their preferences, they all chose black ones.

Zhang Xiuhua stopped him, "Youcai, Jilin and Zhuzhu should wear black, but Jidong, Baolin and Yaoyao don't need to wear black. The three of them will take good care of their clothes."

She picked out the colors again and bought a lot of stuff.

However, when paying, Zhang Xiuhua took advantage of Li Jianguo's inattention and bought him a white shirt.

There were no handbags at that time, but fortunately Zhang Xiuhua brought a schoolbag when she came. She made it for herself. It was a square canvas bag with a button folded over it, so there was no need to worry about things falling out.

After coming out of the mall, the two chatted casually. At this moment, a man on a bicycle suddenly jumped out from outside, snatched the schoolbag from Li Jianguo's hand and ran away.

However, Li Jianguo was a soldier, and his hands were steady when he took the things. The thief didn't get anything, and he and his car fell down.

He got up and pedaled away quickly on his bike.

Li Jianguo did not chase after them, so who knows if they have any backup plans.

"Just when I said the public security was bad, they started fighting." Zhang Xiuhua sighed helplessly, "Let's go, stop shopping, and go back to the guesthouse first."

After Li Jianguo sent Zhang Xiuhua back to the guesthouse, he went to ask his friends to help clean the house.

Zhang Xiuhua saw Ergou reading a newspaper and asked, "Are you bored?"

Ergou shook his head, "Not boring."

He told her something, "Someone knocked on the door just now. I asked who they were looking for, but they left after hearing my voice. They're not here to look for Uncle Li, are they?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a long time, "No. He came to the capital without telling anyone."

She picked up the newspaper that Ergou had read and asked, "Is there anything interesting?"

"It says here that with the reform and opening up in the south, there are many joint ventures to build factories. They should need a lot of people there, right?" Ergou looked at her expectantly.

"That should be the case. But the temporary residence permits there are strictly checked, and you don't have that much money, right?!" Zhang Xiuhua guessed that he wanted to go out and try his luck, "and you still need to recover from your injuries."

Ergou looked at his legs and lowered his head.

Almost before dinner, Li Jianguo finally came back.

"It's been done. It should be cleaned up tomorrow." Li Jianguo wanted to take them out for dinner.

Zhang Xiuhua told him about someone knocking on the door before.

Li Jianguo was not surprised at all. "They are probably ticket scalpers. Don't worry about them."

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that this was the case.

After dinner, we went back to the guesthouse to rest. Because the quilt was not clean, Zhang Xiuhua wore long sleeves and long pants. Fortunately, it was not very hot now. If it was summer, she would probably get heat stroke if she wore this.

The next day, I went to the hospital early to queue up and register, otherwise I would be too late to go back and get the report.

After they got the report, it wasn't long before it was their turn.

The same doctor from yesterday read the report and said, "No surgery is needed. The bone is fractured and needs to be fixed with a plaster cast."

"How long will it take to remove the plaster?" Zhang Xiuhua asked anxiously.

The doctor is used to this kind of parents. "One or two months. Everyone's condition is different. He has been injured for several days. Why didn't you bring your child to see a doctor earlier?"

Her tone was somewhat accusatory. She was obviously not dressed badly, but she ignored her child like this. Such a parent was really incompetent.

"We are from Northeast China, and the hospital there said it couldn't cure the disease. So we came to the capital." Zhang Xiuhua asked when she could get a plaster cast.

"Today is enough! I'll write you a prescription." The doctor wrote quickly with a pen.

Li Jianguo asked worriedly, "Can he take the train back?"

"Of course not! There are so many people on the train, and you can't move around after the cast is put on. You have to rest at home!" The doctor looked at the parents with a condemning look. How could they be so careless about their child?

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo looked at each other. What should they do? !

Li Jianguo needs to go to work, so it's ok to take a day or two off, but taking a month or two off means he doesn't want to work anymore! Zhang Xiuhua also needs to go home to raise chickens, so she can't stay in the capital for a day or two without going back.

Besides, Jidong will take the college entrance examination in July, and she still has to prepare food for Jidong.

"Can I rest in the hospital forever?" Li Jianguo asked tentatively.

The doctor was stunned. "Hospitalization fees are not cheap. Besides, we are always short of beds. With this level of injury, you can only stay in the hospital for seven days at most."

Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua were both a little embarrassed. At this time, the doctor had already written out the prescription and asked the next patient to come in.
