"Si Chen, wait!" Qi Renshu suddenly remembered something, stood up, and walked to the desk.

Si Chen pursed his lips, understanding in his heart.

Qi Renshu took an envelope, came back, and opened it in front of everyone:

"This is the IOU you wrote, here it is, and this gold chain."

Si Chen took them one by one, smiled and said thank you:

"No matter what happens, I have to thank my second aunt and second uncle for taking care of my urgent need first."

Mrs. Si looked at this scene, and her heart was filled with excitement!

"What are you talking about, kid?" Si Xianglan was very happy in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at Si Chen were full of love.

This only nephew is finally cool!

"Grandma, you guys eat quickly, I'll go deliver food to Lixia as soon as possible." Si Chen said, and walked out the door amid the eager instructions of the elders behind him.

Under the pergola at the door is a temporary brick stove for cooking.

Living in a single room in this kind of unit is really too small. Even the so-called bedroom is separated by a curtain.

Basically every household sets up a small pergola at the door and builds a small stove.

When Si Chen passed by, he took out the IOU and threw it into the stove. In an instant, flames sprang up and burned up.

Inside the house, Mrs. Si was very happy and wanted to have a drink.

Si Xianglan is a teetotaler and Qi Renshu is an average drinker. However, he is happy today and has a drink with the old lady.

…

When Si Chen came to the ward, he found that the four-bed room was full.

Except for Song Qianqian who has not yet given birth, the other two are all mothers.

Si Chen walked in and first greeted Song Qianqian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Then, he walked up to Yan Lixia:

"Are you hungry? I brought you delicious food tonight, hehe!"

When he said this, he placed the bamboo basket containing the food on the bedside table, took out the vegetable jar inside, and handed it to Yan Lixia, as if offering a treasure:

"Smell it, does it smell good?"

"Hmm! It smells so good!" Yan Lixia has never been touched by meat since she woke up.

Smell this fragrant but not greasy smell, even the greedy ones are attracted.

"It's a good thing to replenish blood. Eat it while it's hot." Si Chen picked up a chopstick and fed it.

"I, I'll do it myself. I can sit up now." Yan Lixia looked at the room full of people and her face turned red.

"Does the wound hurt when you sit up?" Si Chen said reluctantly.

"Just bear with it for a while. How long can you sit for one meal?" Yan Lixia said, struggling to get up.

"Don't move." Si Chen held her down and pulled the small blue and white plaid curtain on the bed.

Conveniently, he used an extra pillow he asked for to raise her upper body.

Next, feeding becomes a matter of course again.

Yan Lixia's heart was filled with ripples.

She could see his thoughtfulness these days.

The aroma of meat spreads little by little in your mouth, but it is not fishy and is very refreshing and tender.

In all her life, this is the first time Yan Lixia has eaten such delicious pork liver.

"This is pig blood, which is a good tonic. Eat more." Si Chen pushed the leeks on the pig blood away:

"Grandma specifically warned you not to eat leeks."

Yan Lixia:......-_-||

Si Chen didn't react until he finished speaking.

For a moment, the atmosphere became subtle.

Next, they stopped talking. One of them fed them carefully and the other ate quietly.

After a long while, she finally had enough and said, "I can't eat any more, please eat quickly."

"Yeah." Si Chen took back his hand and carefully wiped Yan Lixia's mouth with a handkerchief.

There was only one dim light bulb in the ward, which provided insufficient light.

In addition, the curtains were drawn on their side, and Yan Lixia on the hospital bed looked exceptionally beautiful and white.

Si Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Quickly recovering his thoughts, he sat upright on the chair, took out his portion of Maoxuewang and the big white steamed buns from the basket, and started eating.

There are no paddy fields in Yuanmeng County. Apart from buying rice, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat rice.

Generally, those who can eat rice are those from government agencies who can get special food stamps and can receive them.

Grandma made this Mao Xue Wang today, but it contained enough ingredients, it was fresh and spicy, and it went very well with rice.

Si Chen enjoyed the steamed buns very much.

A little, but I heard Yan Lixia whisper:

"Si Chen, my second aunt said today that I have to clear my breasts, otherwise the children will have no milk to eat."

Si Chen chewed the steamed buns for a moment.

She continued, a little shyly: "Second aunt said, you know how to open breasts, she told you the method."

Si Chen had a piece of steamed bun stuck in his throat and couldn't get it up or down!

"The second aunt also said that the milk powder we buy here is called full-fat milk powder. It is not the formula milk that people buy in big cities, and it is not the same thing as the milk powder from abroad."

Yan Lixia's voice was very small and soft.

The ward was a little noisy, but it didn't prevent Si Chen from hearing clearly:

"The baby still needs to drink breast milk to develop better, so you have to breastfeed me as soon as possible."

Si Chen hurriedly poured himself water, which was hot. He drank sip after sip before swallowing the steamed bun.

His tongue was burned, so he covered it up and said:

"I ate very spicy food today, so it's not suitable for you to breastfeed, huh."

Yan Lixia:......

We didn’t dare to ask, and we didn’t dare to say anything.

That night, all the hospital beds were full, so Si Chen could only squeeze in in front of Yan Lixia and make do.

He was afraid that he would touch her wound, so he only dared to sleep on his side and did not dare to move all night.

…

The next day, Si Chen got up early.

After Yan Lixia was settled, he went to pay the fee.

Originally, he paid 1,000 yuan from his aunts and had 500 yuan left.

In the past few days, the fee has to be renewed every morning. Yan Lixia has been taking infusions and medication, plus hospitalization fees, which cost an average of 40 yuan a day.

Today, the 24th, the money in Si Chen's pocket was spent on hospital bills alone, which cost 120 yuan.

Yesterday I bought a lot of things, and today I am going to thank the three doctors and nurses who gave Yan Lixia blood transfusion. I spent another 50 yuan.

Subtracting 170 from 500, he is left with about 330 yuan.

Of the 600 yuan he got from selling the wild boar, there was only 100 yuan left. Si Chen didn't take it and gave it to grandma so that she could buy things for daily expenses.

I live in my second aunt’s house, so I can’t afford daily expenses and my second aunt still has to pay for it, which is not good.

Si Chen carried large and small bags of things and went to thank the three doctors and nurses who donated blood to Yan Lixia.

These days, unlike later generations, we often carry hundreds of cigarettes, alcohol, and milk to see people.

In Yuanmeng County, when visiting relatives or visiting people these days, you basically carry practical things:

A pack of brown sugar, a barrel of oil, a bag of noodles, eggs, pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc.

Of course, there are also tobacco and alcohol when necessary.

Si Chen didn't do anything special. His uncle was the dean. Now that it had spread throughout the hospital, who would dare to accept his gift?

In order to make things easier for others, Si Chen brought three practical things, as well as a banner for each person.

Even so, the two doctors he went to successively refused to accept his things.

The rhetoric is the same:
