Chapter 5 Yuan’s Medical Expenses
Chen Qi turned to the inner room and took out a lidocaine needle, a needle tube and a debridement bag from the space operating room.
The most important thing is that he picked up the mysterious scalpel and pinched it in his hand, and he felt a sense of unity between swords and man.
Chen Shu and Chen Hua knew that their brother was studying medicine, but they had never seen him show off their skills, so they were also full of curiosity and surrounded the table to watch the operation.
Chen Qi first hit lidocaine on both sides of his fingers. After a while, he waited for his fingers to numb and disinfected before taking out the scalpel.
The moment he took out the scalpel and was about to start a move, the scalpel seemed to be alive. Chen Qi felt that it was not that he was undergoing surgery to cut his nails, but that the scalpel was actively guiding him to do the surgery.
Within a few minutes, the nail on the affected side was cut off part of it, then the concentrated liquid was discharged, and then disinfected again and bandaged. The operation process was very fast and the surgical effect was very perfect.
The patient saw the entire operation, including Chen Qi's professionalism, and finally, the middle-aged man was very happy when he looked at the fingers bandaged with gauze.
"Doctor Chen, that's fine?"
"It's not going to be cured. It's best for you to go to the barefoot doctor to change the medicine every day and take some anti-inflammatory drugs. You will be able to recover completely in about a week or two."
While cleaning up, Chen Qi reminded him that this feeling was like a minor outpatient surgery in his previous life.
The middle-aged man naturally thanked him very much, and finally took out 2 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Doctor Chen, this is a hard work. You know that our mountain people are poor, so don't think there are too few people."
Chen Qi scratched his head and took it. After all, he had done his mental work, and he also had a debridement bag and an anesthetic.
"Okay, I'm not polite to accept it. Be careful not to touch the water after you go back."
After the middle-aged man left, Chen Hua and Chen Qi looked at the two female tractor-handed patterns on the table, their hearts were full of curiosity.
"Brother, you've earned two dollars in just a while? This elder sister has to carry bricks for 4 days, so she can pay me a semester tuition fee."
Chen Qi shook the money and said, "It's just 2 yuan?" If this is the case in later generations, the preoperative examination fee, surgery fee, and medicine fee will be added up. If it's not 1,000 yuan, you won't want to leave."
How to spend some extra money if you accidentally earn?
The three siblings sat at home together, holding their chins with their hands thinking about this issue.
The younger sister Chen Hua believes that it should be handed over to the elder sister and save up for the tuition fee for the next semester.
My younger brother Chen Shu thought he should buy some meat to eat, because he hadn't eaten meat for half a year, and now he wants to go up and eat it when he sees pigs raised by others.
Chen Qi thought Chen Shu was right and should buy meat to eat.
The main reason is that the scene of the silly sister carrying bricks under the scorching sun was so shocking that she was so shocked. He had thought of being reborn and endured hardships, but she didn't expect that she would be so hard.
Compared to the three scholars in the family, the silly sister is the one who needs nourishment the most.
"Or why don't we go buy meat now and wait for my elder sister to come back to give her a surprise?"
Chen Shu jumped three feet high: "Okay, okay."
Chen Hua was determined to object, but when he thought of the white and fat meat, he really couldn't resist this temptation, "Okay, then go buy pork."
The three siblings did it as soon as they said they did, regardless of the scorching sun outside, they each wore a torn straw hat and rushed to the commune barefoot.
There is a small market in the location of Xingtang Commune. Although the sparrows are small, they are all complete with all internal organs.
For example, cinemas, supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, health centers, primary and secondary schools, police stations, governments, and even a small mini guesthouse.
The three Chen brothers and sisters walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the commune. The three of them were full of curiosity and kept looking around on the road.
Chen Shu and Chen Hua rarely come to the commune once. To them, the commune is like a "big city", full of prosperity, and the supply and marketing cooperative contains novel things that they have never seen in their lifetime.
Although this is obviously just a small mountain village commune that can't even drive a car.
For Chen Qi, the reborn guest, he was full of curiosity in everything in the 1980s. After all, he had never experienced this era and felt like he was in Hengdian Film and Television City.
The buildings on the street, the people's clothes, and the red slogans on the walls all give him a feeling of "experience tour".
The three of them walked around and stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time. When they saw a bottle of soda on the counter, the three of them were dry, hot and thirsty, swallowed.
But seeing that the price was 20 cents, the three of them could only shake their heads and leave without hesitation.
Chen Qi never dreamed that he was reborn and returned to 1981. He couldn't even afford to drink a bottle of soda, which was a failure.
It seems that how to make money and support a family during the summer vacation is the most important task next.
The three of them came to the sideline food store and saw the pieces of pork. Chen Shu and Chen Hua both exclaimed:
"Brother, look, so much pork."
"Master, how much does a pound of pork belly cost?"
The pig-killer with a dirty apron on his body looked impatient: "Go and go, look at you like that, do you have money?"
Chen Qi waved the two one-yuan coins in his hand.
The pig killer was stunned and said with a smile:
"Oh, can't you tell? A few mountain guys are really rich. It's a big pound of pork belly. Look at this big fat meat with four fingers thick, it's pretty. One pound of 1 yuan and 2 cents per pound, and this lean meat is 9 cents per pound of 5 cents per pound."
Chen Buer thought he had heard it wrongly? Lean meat is actually 25 cents cheaper than fat meat?
Which stupid X would buy fat?
In his previous life, he went to the cafeteria for dinner and picked out the fat when he encountered it. The oil in his mouth was full of cholesterol, and the young nurses who loved beauty avoided it even more.
Chen Qi decided to remind the other party: "Master, you, will your price be calculated incorrectly?"
The pig killer was upset: "How could you calculate it wrong? It's also in our commune. If you go to the city, everyone will rush to sell it, and you also need meat tickets to buy meat. Do you guys in the mountain world have it?"
If you want meat tickets, the pure agricultural commune of Xingtang will not be able to eat pork. Obviously, the people have a lot of opinions, so they don’t have meat tickets, but the price is a little bit more expensive.
Chen Qi was smart and thought to himself that he shouldn't blame me for firing a loophole, so he took out the money and took it on the meat case:
"Just give us two pounds of lean meat."
The pig killer was stunned again, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, two kilograms of lean meat, look at it, the scale is high, 1.9 cents, please collect it if you are looking for money."
Chen Qi paid the money and carried the lean meat hanging on a straw rope. He felt very happy and shouted to Chen Shu and Chen Hua:
Chapter completed!
