Chapter 1034 Savior
"Doctor Wang!"
The man in the white coat suddenly recognized him: "My son works at your dealership! Xiao Liu, get the gastric lavage machine!"
The middle-aged doctor wrote the prescription while shouting at the top of his voice: "Save the patient first! Put the medicine cost on my account!"
As he spoke, the tip of the pen left a blue mark on the prescription pad, and the two slips were still warm when he handed them to the nurse.
Only then did Zhou Qi see the name on the badge clearly, Wang Zhenming, and suddenly remembered the young man in the wine shop who always said, "My father is a doctor."
The nurse trotted to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
"There's nothing serious wrong with the child. Just take him to the ward and let him rest with a fan."
As Zhou Qi spoke, he picked up Li Jiang and his sister with his arms, and quickly followed Wang Zhenming to the ward.
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wang."
When Zhou Qi was expressing his gratitude, he caught a glimpse of the clock on the corridor showing a quarter past twelve in the afternoon.
Wang Zhenming lifted the ward door curtain and waved his hand: "It is my honor to help Mr. Zhou. It is lunch time now, and we are the only ones on duty in the hospital."
Before he finished speaking, he led the nurses back to the emergency room.
After settling the little girl down, Zhou Qi chased after her: "The child's mother drank 1605 pesticide, right? I heard it's three times more toxic than dichlorvos?"
"do not worry!"
Wang Zhenming was directing the nurse to adjust the gastric lavage machine: "There are dozens of cases in our rural area every year. After gastric lavage, they can be kept for two days without any problem."
As he was speaking, the sound of "patter patter" footsteps was heard outside the ward building.
Li Jianghe rushed in barefoot, blood oozing from the soles of his feet, leaving dark red footprints on the tile floor.
"Mr. Zhou! My mom and the others..." The boy's voice trembled, and his muddy toes curled up unconsciously.
“They’re all rescued!”
Zhou Qi frowned and stared at his bloodstained feet: "Hurry up and let the nurse treat the wound. If it gets infected, it will be a disaster!"
"This little injury..."
The young man wiped his sweat and said, "Just grab a handful of dry soil to cover it up. There's no need to spend that much money."
Zhou**'s head tightened - who could have imagined that this young man who used dirt as a Band-Aid would create a business empire twenty years later?
"Your sister is in Ward 3, using the electric fan. Your mother will wake up in another half an hour of being on IV drip."
He emphasized: "Doctor Wang said it himself, all indicators are normal!"
The young man suddenly bowed 90 degrees, his collar soaked with sweat and covered with grass debris: "Mr. Zhou, I will remember your life-saving grace. From now on..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone tapping his shoulder: "If you really want to repay me, then go to a good university, come work in my company after graduation, and let your mom and sister live a good life!"
Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound in the corridor, and the sound of equipment falling to the ground was heard from the direction of the emergency room, followed by the nurse's exclamation.
The environment of the town hospital is extremely simple, with the outpatient department and wards scattered across three rows of old bungalows.
These blue brick houses are actually not worthy of their name - the blue bricks are only built to waist height, the upper half is adobe walls, and the roofs are covered with old-fashioned curved tiles that are rarely seen nowadays.
"What happened?"
The two men turned around at the same time and saw a rural woman staggering out of the ward with the infusion needle still stuck in the back of her hand and blood oozing out through the plastic tube.
Li Jianghe was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Mom, if you don't lie down properly, it will be dangerous if you pull out the needle!"
"Prodigal stuff!"
Gao Guizhen raised her hand to hit her son: "Don't you know what's going on at home? You've wasted dozens of dollars hanging a bottle of water here, and you haven't even collected enough money for the tuition fee for the new semester!"
As soon as she regained consciousness, she became anxious, fearing that the hospital would charge her money.
"Mom, you've been poisoned and are in a coma. If you don't come to the hospital, someone will die!"
Before Li Jianghe could finish his words, he received a hard slap on the face.
"I'm very tough! I can recover by lying on the ground for a while. Why do I have to come to this money-sucking hole?"
Gao Guizhen yelled at the top of her voice, and the nurse who had chased after her was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "Big sister, if you don't get an IV, something bad will happen to you!"
"What happened? I'm going home to apply pesticides now!"
She walked out while saying, "I'll pay for the medical expenses, but I won't give you the remaining injections!"
Zhou Qi felt sad when he saw this. He didn't expect that someone would not even want to save his life.
I quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister, I brought you to the hospital. I have my eyes on Jiang He. I plan to pay for his education and have him work in my company after he graduates."
"Mom, Mr. Zhou said he can give me 1,000 yuan a month after graduation!" Li Jianghe had just finished speaking when he was hit on the back of his head again.
"Are you crazy because of poverty?"
Gao Guizhen's eyes widened: "How much do city officials earn?"
"He's being conservative."
Zhou Qi smiled and continued, "With Jiang He's potential, it's possible for him to earn several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan a month in the future."
Seeing that the other party was skeptical, he took out his business card and said, "I am Zhou Qi from Shengshi Wine Industry. I will cover the tuition and living expenses of my child. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
Gao Guizhen then took a closer look at the man in front of her with extraordinary bearing. Even his coarse clothes could not hide his style. She immediately believed it to the point of believing it.
Gao Guizhen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "If you really give Jiang He a salary of a thousand yuan as you said, it would be much better than the state-owned factory eating public rations!"
Doctor Wang came over, rubbing his hands. "Sister-in-law, this is Mr. Zhou, the richest man in our town! You must have heard the advertisements for Shengshi Winery on the loudspeaker every day, right? He has so much money that even a tractor can't pull it all!"
"Then... Jiang He will follow you to make a living from now on?"
The peasant woman rubbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly. Zhou Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Just rest assured and get the infusion. All medical expenses will be charged to Shengshi Liquor's account."
"Jiang He, take Boss Zhou home quickly!"
Gao Guizhen pushed her son's back and said, "Go to Ergan River and ask your father to collect the boat. Buy two pounds of pork head and a pot of wine. I'll go back and cook after I finish the infusion."
"useless!"
Zhou Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Doctor Wang is your lifesaver. I'll host a table at a restaurant in town and invite Jiang and his father to come over for a gathering."
Wang Zhenming touched the pocket of his white coat and smiled: "My colleague from the lunch shift will be here to relieve me soon. Besides, my second son is a manager under Mr. Zhou, so I should have treated you to a meal a long time ago."
Li Jiang and his mother were still trying to refuse, but Doctor Wang whispered to them, "It would be a blessing to be noticed by Mr. Zhou! Please don't be polite. It would be better than anything else to ask Jiang He to behave well in the future."
Amid the roar of the motorcycle, the boy held on to the back seat.
The river breeze blew in his face with the smell of diesel, and he suddenly felt that the newly bought sneakers in his arms seemed to be able to step into a golden road.
There were few decent clothing and shoe stores on the streets of the town. Zhou Qi took Li Jiang for a casual stroll and bought a pair of sneakers and two sets of summer clothes.
After buying the shoes, Zhou Qi asked Li Jianghe to change into new shoes, but he held the shoe box and refused to open it.
"You buy shoes to wear, so put them on quickly." Zhou Qi pushed the sneakers towards the child.
"It's ruined to wear it now, I'll wear it after school starts."
The boy shrank his feet that were covered in mud and blood: "Besides, my feet are dirty..."
“Buy new ones when school starts!”
Unable to resist Zhou Qi's insistence, Li Jianghe finally put on the new shoes.
The motorcycle rumbled and carried the two people towards Ergan River.
This river is at least fifty or sixty meters wide. It connects the Grand Canal and Luoma Lake like a silver chain, and there are endless boats and ships all year round.
The grain-carrying ships on the river had a heavy draft, the decks of the sand ships were piled up like small hills, and silver scales were jumping in the cabins of the fishing boats.
