Doctor Li looked at her speechlessly. "You were seriously injured when you came here. I asked your Luo family to take you to the town hospital, but no one was willing to do so. They said they didn't have the money and the journey was too far. The big hospitals in town have all kinds of equipment, but I can't even do tests here. I don't know the specific situation either."

"It's good that you're awake now. It's better to find a few people to take them to a big hospital. It's not a good idea for them to stay here with me. If someone dies, my family can't afford it."

Luo's mother was cowardly by nature and was afraid to make any decision, because once she made the wrong choice, the consequences would be beyond her ability to bear. She panicked when she heard this, "I just woke up, how can I make the decision? Let's wait until the child's father wakes up."

They all lived in the same village, and Doctor Li had long known what kind of person Luo's mother was. He looked at her deeply and said, "Then you should first pay the medical expenses for the past few days."

Ever since Luo's father found out that she secretly took money to support her brother, Luo's mother has never touched money again. She is penniless, so how can she pay the medical bills? She smiled awkwardly at Dr. Li, "Can we... wait for the child's father to wake up and let him pay? The money is all with him." She spoke in a lower and lower voice.

What else could Dr. Li do? He could only agree helplessly.

After leaving Doctor Li's house, Luo Yue did not go back. Instead, she went to the fields and picked a few sweet potatoes with her bare hands and brought them home. After washing them, she cut them into small pieces and put them into the pot. She then added half a bowl of rice and half a pot of water, covered the pot and turned on the fire.

Put two sweet potatoes into the stove, add some firewood to start the fire, take out the English book, and recite words while making a fire.

After a while, the water boiled. Luo Yue put down her English book, stood up and filled the thermos with boiling water. She took out two boiled eggs and placed them aside to cool.

After filling it with boiling water, pour a bowl and place it on the stove next to it to cool. You can drink it when you are thirsty after eating the eggs.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I continued to make a fire, ate eggs, and threw the eggshells into the stove to destroy them.

Calculating that the time was almost up, I quickly used tongs to take out the roasted sweet potatoes and set them aside to cool.

After eating the eggs, I felt dry in the mouth, so I stood up and drank a big bowl of boiled water.

When the sweet potato porridge is almost cooked, turn off the fire.

I read an English book for a while and the roasted sweet potatoes got cold.

Peel off the charred skin to reveal the golden liquid meat, and the rich aroma fills your nose. Just looking at it makes you hungry, and it is indeed delicious after one bite.

After eating two roasted sweet potatoes, Luo Yue burped with satisfaction. Although there was a black circle on her mouth and hands, it was all worth it for the delicious food, and she could just wash it and it would be clean.

Although the sweet potato porridge was cooked, she did not rush to Dr. Li's house. Instead, she took the dirty clothes she had changed in the past two days and went to the river to wash them. This time she brought a plastic basin to hold the apple snails, river clams and smaller clams she picked up.

After returning home, I hung out the clothes to dry, put the plastic basin containing the golden apple snails in the kitchen, and scooped some water into it with a gourd ladle. This way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat them for a few days.

I opened the cupboard and took out an enamel pot to fill with sweet potato porridge. At this moment, I heard someone kick the gate: "Xiao Yue! Xiao Yue?!"

"Uncle San, I'm in the kitchen." Luo Yue responded and continued to serve the sweet potato porridge.

"Your parents are awake, but you don't go take care of them and stay at home to be lazy, right?!" Luo Laosan rushed in angrily, but saw Luo Ye standing in front of the stove and serving porridge. When he got closer, he saw that it was sweet potato porridge.

"Mom and Dad are awake? That's great." Luo Yue ignored Uncle San's bad attitude and said, "I made some sweet potato porridge. It's just right for them to eat."
