The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

At this time, Captain Qu came into the house carrying half a bag of cornmeal.

"Lao Huo, I heard you were injured, how are you?"

As he said this, he placed the flour bag on the stove.

"This is a thank-you gift my wife asked me to give to Sister Su. I am grateful to Sister Su for helping me this time."

Captain Qu walked into the inner room while talking.

When Su Xiaorou saw Captain Qu coming, she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

"Captain Qu, you are too polite. There is no need to thank me. We all live in the same village. It's no big deal to help. Please take a seat."

Captain Qu knew that the Huo family was having a hard time, and with both men injured, it was inevitable that they would be sad.

"Yesterday, it was Old Huo and Huo Jun who managed to hold down the barn and kill two wolves. They are skinning the wolves now. I'll ask Huo Siying to come with me and cut a piece of meat for them."

Su Xiaorou's eyes were red and wet, but she was smiling. It would be great if she could get a piece of real meat. The children were all greedy.

The whole family was very happy to hear that they could get a piece of meat.

Huo Zhengping moved a little further into the kang, "Captain Qu, please sit down."

Huo Jun gritted his teeth and stood up. The wound was stretched and it hurt every time he moved.

"Captain Qu, please take a seat."

Captain Qu waved his hand and said, "You are still injured. Sit down quickly and don't stretch yourself. It's not a good time in the winter."

Huo Jun moved to the head of the kang and sat down with his butt on the edge.

Captain Qu sat in the middle of the kang, facing Huo Zhengping at the end of the kang, and asked about what happened last night.

Huo Zhengping gave a brief account of what had happened and also told him about Yang Waizui's candles and enamel basin.

Captain Qu, "The team will compensate him, don't worry. In addition, for your contribution in protecting collective property, I will discuss with other cadres in the company to see if we can reward you with 50 kilograms of food each."

Captain Qu is the top leader, and what he said is basically a done deal.

Huo Zhengping: "Thank you, Captain Qu."

Having food to eat is better than anything else. The primary issue now is food and clothing.

Su Xiaorou had been listening to the two people talking, and finally saw that they had almost finished talking, so she quickly interrupted.

"Captain Qu, can you ask the team doctor to come and check on the father and son?"

The fact that she delivered babies for women had somewhat affected Team Doctor Gao's reputation and income. Team Doctor Gao somewhat disliked their family and didn't know whether they were willing to come over to disinfect and change the gauze for the father and son. The strips of cloth torn from old clothes were all bacteria in her eyes as a nurse.

No matter how angry you are, you still feel heartache and care about someone.

Captain Qu really hadn't thought about this. In his opinion, Sister Su was much better than Team Doctor Gao. Since it was mentioned, that's fine.

"Oh, fine. I'll go and tell him to come over. They should stop running away and wait at home."

Captain Qu is gone.

Huo Siying and Huo Siyan quickly put on their hats and followed behind. If the team doctor came, it would be better if someone carried the medicine box, and another person had to go get the meat.

These two things are important, and the two sisters followed Captain Qu closely.

Captain Qu first arrived at Team Doctor Gao's home, where Team Doctor Gao was still having breakfast.

A pot of pickled cabbage soup, a dozen large pancakes, a few peeled fresh green onions planted in pots, and a bowl of soybean paste. The couple and their two sons were enjoying the meal.

"Hey, Captain Qu, why are you here so early in the morning? Come and sit down. Have you eaten? Let's eat together?"

He didn't even look at the two girls from the Huo family who were following behind him.

Captain Qu waved his hand and said, "No, you guys go ahead and eat. I just came by to tell you that the old Huo and his son were injured while hunting wolves last night. Come over and take a look after you finish your meal."

Team Doctor Gao paused for a moment. He wanted to say, doesn't his family have a capable person? This guy, everyone in the village says she is better than them? Then why did they come to him? But he couldn't afford to offend the company commander.

"Okay, it's not serious, right? I'll be there when I'm done eating."

Captain Qu, "You go and take a look."

He could walk and move, so how serious was it? He thought it was nothing serious, but seeing how miserable Su Xiaorou was crying and very nervous, it seemed that it was not light.

It wasn't a matter of saving lives, so I didn't rush him.

Huo Siyan waited for a long time at Captain Gao's house. After Captain Gao finished his meal, he sat there drinking water and packing his things.

Huo Siyan was getting impatient waiting. This was just a deliberate delay, not wanting to see a doctor for her father and brother. Usually, if you have a cold, you can just make some ginger soup or something and sweat it out, and it will go away. But now this is not something she can solve.

She wanted to give her the medicine and gauze and she would go back to deal with it herself, but she was afraid of angering Team Doctor Gao. This year, she was no longer the naive little girl. She was still angry but endured it and waited. Anyway, she would not leave until Team Doctor Gao came.

Two people came to ask Captain Doctor Gao for cold medicine. Captain Doctor Gao answered them calmly and never gave Huo Siyan a glance from beginning to end. He just did what he was supposed to do. It was almost noon when he carried the medicine box and staggered to the Huo family.

Huo Siyan followed silently behind. It was not the first day that she had received such cold treatment since leaving the capital. As long as her father and brother could receive medical treatment, she could endure anything.

When Team Doctor Gao arrived at the Huo family, he handled the situation in a businesslike manner. He opened Huo Zhengping's bandaged wound, wiped it with a piece of cotton swab dipped in gentian violet using tweezers, put a piece of gauze on the wound, and wrapped it up with the old cloth.

Su Xiaorou saw that he was working sloppily and wanted to do it herself. She suppressed her disdain and asked tentatively,

"Can you flush the wound with saline?"

Doctor Gao said, "Where can we get so much saline solution? It's hard for us to get some medicine here. We are not like your big hospitals in Beijing. This is how we treat injuries. If you think it won't work, go to the regiment headquarters or the city hospital."

Su Xiaorou couldn't do anything about Team Doctor Gao. He had examined her and had given instructions to Captain Qu. He couldn't guarantee whether the patient would recover or not.

Su Xiaorou wanted to make saline solution herself, but the salt available now was black and dirty coarse salt, and there wasn't much of it at home.

Su Xiaorou was thinking, why not go ask Captain Qu’s wife for some?

She would not feel at ease until she thoroughly disinfected their wounds.

"Doctor Gao, could you please leave some gauze for me?" This way I would have something to treat their wounds later.

Doctor Gao said, "These are limited supplies. There aren't many left. We may need them in case another patient comes."

Su Xiaorou felt angry and sad, but there was nothing she could do.

After Team Doctor Gao left, Huo Jun comforted his mother, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. My wounds are starting to dry up and will heal soon."

Su Xiaorou felt sad. She should have been given a rabies vaccine, but now there were no conditions for that. She could only leave it to fate!

They don’t know how dangerous this is. If they are infected with rabies, there is no cure!

"Mom will cook meat for you."

Not wanting his son to see him crying again, he quickly went to the kitchen.
