Chapter 13

Mu Xiu took the order and saw that the blood transfusion cost on the list was 35 yuan. Although this number was not high compared with the later, it is now so high that it is a bit unbearable.

"Show, how much does it cost?" Mushui asked.

"Blood Transfusion 35..." Mu Xiu knew that Mu Shui would be shocked after he said it...

Sure enough, Mushui and Zhou Shuilian both opened their eyes wide in surprise, but Mushui quickly took out the money and handed it to Mu Xiu, asking Mu Xiu to get blood.

After the blood was retrieved, the three of them stayed outside the custody room together, waiting for the baby to undergo treatment.

"I don't know how long it will take to treat it?" Mu Shui felt anxious and couldn't help but talk to himself.

"Oh, there are 115 yuan left, I can't hold on for two days. What should I do?" Zhou Shuilian also looked bitter.

"Forget it, why don't you, Xiu and I'll borrow some more when I go back." Mushui stood up and made a decision.

"Oh, this is the only way. If it really doesn't work, you... go and find my girl... see if she can borrow some more from her place." Zhou Shuilian said this as if she had made some decision.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Shui nodded, then turned his head and explained to Mu Xiu: "Xiu, your mother has just given birth to a child, she is weak, and your sister is still young, so everything depends on your care."

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my mother and sister." Mu Xiu promised.

Mu Xiu actually wanted to persuade Mushui not to leave, but in her current situation, she didn't know how to make money. It was like holding a treasure, but it couldn't be used. It felt like she was too much.

The three of them waited at the door until dawn, and the baby was sent out. Looking at the child who had fallen asleep but had a lot of good expression, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"At present, the situation is pretty good. Take the child back to the ward to rest first. When you wake up, feed the child breastfeeding." The doctor reminded.

"My milk won't poison the child, right?" Zhou Shuilian was a little scared.

"No, it has nothing to do with breast milk. Breast milk can improve the child's resistance and is very beneficial to her physical recovery."

"Okay, thank you, thank you doctor!" Zhou Shuilian thanked repeatedly.

"The village radio always talks about the flowers of the child's motherland, so this child is called Xiaohua." Mushui hugged the child and said to the mother and daughter.

"Okay, just call it Xiaohua." Zhou Shuilian agreed.

Mu Xiu: "..."

It seems that the name Mu Xiu sounds really nice...

Mushui left the fraction himself, gave the remaining 100 yuan to the mother and daughter, and then hurried back to borrow money.

Mu Xiu was holding the baby... Now he should be named Mu Xiaohua. Zhou Shuilian followed her, and the mother and daughter came to the ward.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, Mu Xiu couldn't help but frowned. There were three beds in the narrow ward. It was early in the morning, and the children on the other two beds woke up, all of them were boys about four or five years old.

The parents in bed No. 1 were holding a potty to pick up the child's shit and urine. The whole ward was filled with a stinking smell. The little boy in bed No. 2 had a white bandage hanging around his neck, hanging his left hand. It seemed that his left hand had broken, maybe it was pain. When he woke up, he was crying loudly, while the parents comforted him warmly.

Mu Xiaohua's hospital bed was in the innermost bed No. 3. Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu stayed up all night and were exhausted. However, the harsh smell in the ward and the sound of crying were not enough to rest.

Mu Xiu couldn't help but remember the benefits of the single room where her mother-in-law had been living in because of her ex-husband. She now really longed to be rich, change the current environment quickly, and give Zhou Shuilian and Xiaocao a quiet and comfortable resting environment.

"Mom, take Xiaohua for a while, I'll go outside to take a look and get you some food." Mu Xiu put Xiaocao on the narrow hospital bed, then helped Zhou Shuilian lie down, and carefully covered the two of them with thin sheets.

"Auntie, ask you where is the hospital cafeteria?" Mu Xiu looked at the child in bed No. 2 and stopped crying. There was a bowl of porridge on his bedside table, so he asked the mother in bed No. 2 with a smile.

"I went out to ask the nurse, but I didn't see that I was busy." The mother in bed No. 2 was just getting upset. Now she saw this little girl dressed in shabby and rustic dress coming to ask, and immediately she vented her anger on Mu Xiu.

After hearing this, the parents of bed No. 1 smiled at each other, but ignored Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu knew that they looked down on her, but there was nothing she could do. As she remembered, people in the county town looked arrogant when they saw the country bumpkins, let alone people in the provincial capital. Even though the society later made rapid progress, the poor were often looked down upon.

After Mu Xiu asked this, she realized that the two beds were not easy to get along with, so she stopped talking and walked out of the ward. After she left the ward, she happened to see someone walking outside with a yellow enamel bowl.

Mu Xiu followed the people who went to buy food and successfully arrived at the hospital canteen. When she arrived at the hospital canteen, she saw a few more people taking vegetable baskets into a small bungalow next to the canteen.

Mu Xiu walked in curiously, and then found that there were six stoves in this small bungalow, and there was a small cabinet on each stove. The people who came in just now were skillfully luring the honeycomb coal in the front stove.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" Mu Xiu asked at a kind-looking old lady.

"Hey, my daughter, you've gone to the wrong place. If you want to get food, you're next door. This is a small canteen." The old lady replied kindly.

"Small cafeteria?"

"Yes, this is where the patients prescribe small stomps themselves. The food in the hospital is still not as nutritious as they cook, so we are here to cook for the patients at home." The old lady did not dislike Mu Xiu at all, and she still had a gentle voice.

"Then is this expensive?" Mu Xiu looked at the old lady with ease, so he couldn't help but continue asking.

"It's not cheap. It costs 50 cents for one use. The pot and coal hospital were packed. If my son hadn't insisted on eating the food I cooked, I would have been reluctant to let it go..." The old lady felt a little distressed when she said it.

No wonder there are not many people here... It's really unaffordable to make a meal for 50 cents, plus the ingredients for cooking...

"Thank you grandma, I'm going to get food." Mu Xiu said goodbye politely to the old lady, then went to the cafeteria to see the food in the cafeteria. After a look, she made up her mind.

Zhou Shuilian is still in need of breastfeeding during confinement, and her nutrition must be kept up, so she has to eat at least one egg every day. It costs 20 cents for a boiled egg in the hospital cafeteria. Even if both of them drink porridge and eat black noodles and steamed buns in the morning, noon and evening, the daily meal expenses will be 1 yuan.
