Chapter 308
"Oh, look at this sweet-mouthed kid, much better than that naughty boy in my family." Grandma Pang held Zhou Shuwan's hand with a smile.
Ever since Zhou Shuwan became her granddaughter-in-law, the status of Qi Mingyu, the legitimate grandson, in Grandma Pang's heart has plummeted.
After the family had dinner, a doctor came to see the two of them.
After confirming that the conditions of both people were beginning to improve, Zhong Tiyun and others were very happy.
The doctor looked at Zhou Shuwan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Zhou, I, I have something I want to discuss with you in private."
Zhou Shuwan was stunned.
The doctor who came to check on the ward today was the same doctor who saw me yesterday. He was a male, about 37 or 38 years old, wearing glasses, and looked very gentle. His last name was Qiao.
Qi Mingyu had already spoken: "Doctor, please talk to both of us."
He felt that the doctor's look at Zhou Shuwan was very strange, so he immediately said.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu followed the doctor out.
Dr. Qiao did not take them to the doctor's office, but to a secluded place nearby.
After looking around to make sure no one was passing by, he finally spoke: "Ms. Zhou, I saw you take out a few bottles of protein without blinking. It seems that you have some on hand and don't need them. To be honest, my wife is pregnant this year, but her body is extremely malnourished and her health is very poor. She is now receiving intravenous drips at home every day to maintain the fetus. But the hospital is out of medicine, and even the intravenous fluids are only vitamins and glucose. I, I want to exchange a few bottles of protein with you, is that possible?"
Dr. Qiao spoke hesitantly, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu exchanged a glance and said, "Doctor Qiao, both medicine and potions are in urgent need right now. We only managed to get a few bottles of protein by chance. If we were to exchange them for others, it wouldn't be enough."
After a pause, she continued, "And, to be honest, as you can see, we have an elderly person in our family who is almost seventy years old. He must be given enough nutrition in the future."
Doctor Qiao was very disappointed. After a long while, he whispered, "Oh, well, okay..."
Zhou Shuwan murmured an apology again before going back with Qi Mingyu.
After taking just two steps, he turned around hesitantly and asked, "Doctor Qiao, you said your wife has been pregnant for several months. How long will it take for her to give birth?"
These words, however, seemed to imply a loosening of the situation.
Doctor Qiao immediately perked up and said hurriedly, "It's almost eight months. We really don't need more. Three bottles are enough. No, two bottles will be enough..."
Generally, when a patient is hospitalized and in urgent need of nutrition, the hospital will recommend a transfusion of five or six bottles as a course of treatment.
A bottle of protein is quite expensive, and a course of treatment costs several thousand yuan.
Therefore, even in peacetime, many families are reluctant to lose this.
However, Dr. Qiao is now willing to exchange protein, which shows that his wife's condition is really not good.
Or maybe he is just a good husband and father who loves his wife and children.
Zhou Shuwan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "We still have two extra bottles. Let's go back and discuss it with our family and then give you a final decision."
"Okay, okay!" Dr. Qiao nodded quickly.
Zhou Shuwan didn't ask him what he wanted to exchange for protein, and Qi Mingyu didn't ask either.
Zhou Shuwan didn't stock up much protein. She just put all the bottles she saw in the hospital into her space. There were about forty bottles in total.
I exchanged two or three bottles, which is not a lot.
After returning home, Zhou Shuwan told his family about this matter.
Everyone felt very sympathetic.
Ever since Zhou Shuwan got married, Zhong Tiyun would think of her whenever she heard the word "pregnancy." If Qi Mingyu hadn't had the foresight to come to the hospital for a sterilization, they would be the ones having this headache right now.
Zhong Tiyun quietly asked about the amount of protein in Zhou Shuwan's space, then nodded, agreeing: "Then take out two bottles in exchange."
Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will definitely be malnourished, not to mention that we are living in the end times where supplies are scarce. You can imagine how hard it will be for her.
It would be fine if I didn’t see it normally, but now that I happen to see it, I’ll just do a good deed and help him.
Zhou Jianghai also agreed.
When Dr. Qiao came again in the afternoon, Zhou Shuwan told him that he could only exchange two bottles, no more.
Dr. Qiao was already pleasantly surprised and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you so much, my wife and I are very grateful."
He thought of something and asked hurriedly, "What do you want to exchange?"
Zhou Shuwan thought for a moment and then asked, "What can you exchange for?"
Doctor Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't have much at home. I live on my salary. But before the apocalypse, I did stockpile some oxygen tanks to transfer supplies during the floods. I wonder if you need them?"
"How much?" Zhou Shuwan immediately became interested.
"How about exchanging two bottles of protein for five cans of oxygen?" Dr. Qiao gritted his teeth.
Zhou Shuwan seemed to be thinking: "You are a doctor, so the supplies you stockpile should be a lot of medical supplies, like IV tubes, syringes, etc. Do you have a lot of them?"
She doesn't stockpile much of these.
Doctor Qiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, not much, but I can give you some."
Zhou Shuwan thought about it and said, "Then I'll give you three bottles of protein. You share a few cans of oxygen, and two boxes of IV tubes and syringes for me. How about that?"
"Okay!" Dr. Qiao agreed with gritted teeth.
These were during the flood season and the order was chaotic. He and other doctors secretly hid the supplies at home when they were transferring them.
No one knows.
It’s a good deal to take it out now and exchange it to help my wife get pregnant.
After a few days, Grandma Pang's illness was almost cured. She just had a concussion. After taking medicine, eating well and resting well, she recovered quickly.
The wounds caused by acid rain on the body are irreversible. They will only slowly scab over, but the skin will not recover to its original state.
But as long as you're alive, these minor wounds don't matter.
It's not just her.
This time the acid rain came unexpectedly, and Zhou Jianghai, Mu Mu and Qi Mingyu were all corroded by the acid rain and suffered wounds.
There were seven or eight small wounds on Zhou Jianghai's face, all of which were now scabs. It looked a bit scary at first glance.
Mu Mu and Qi Mingyu only had wounds on the back of their hands, which didn't cause any problems.
After this incident, people finally realized the horror of acid rain.
Zhong Tiyun also repeatedly warned Zhou Shuwan and the others, "You're going out to study Chinese medicine in three days, so you must be very careful from now on. You can't get hurt just to learn this nonsense. That would be too much of a waste."
Zhou Shuwan nodded.
Qi Mingyu also solemnly told Grandma Pang: "Grandma, please don't go to the chicken farm for now. What if it rains acid again and you're trapped outside?"
Grandma Pang knew she was in the wrong and remained silent for a while. Zhou Jianghai's leg would need at least three months of healing to heal the bones, and he couldn't go to the chicken farm.
