Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 496 - 43: [Additional Update 5 for Alliance Leader Qingyi Qiantan]
Finally can leave the hospital!
Gu An and Gu Ping waited for the old doctor to check the leg. The old doctor actually arrived at the hospital at 7:00, but he first went to the preparation room to help make oxygen for the ward, filling 30 bottles in one go, and then went to the kitchen to fry plaster of Paris. It wasn’t until after eight that he came out.
Just at the right time for Gu Ping to see, and he rushed over immediately.
The two little ones were mature and sensible, and the old doctor smiled benevolently:
"Want to be discharged, right? Go ahead, your brother is still young, and his bones grow quickly. Just make sure he gets enough nutrition at home and doesn’t move his leg unnecessarily."
"In a little over a month, you can come back for removal. At that time, come find me again."
As he was speaking, a nurse came over: "Doctor Liu, are there any saline bottles left in the preparation room? Is there any potassium permanganate left?"
The doctor turned back and got busy again.
Gu Ping blinked and quickly went back to the ward to pack things—Uncle went to fetch the bicycle, and said it wouldn’t be long before he’d be over, so they had to prepare first.
Gu An stood there on one leg, holding onto the headboard steadily, full of anticipation about going back.
Gu Ping started packing things in order—the IV bottles could be used as water bottles and could be filled with hot water in winter to warm feet, so they must be packed carefully without breaking.
The two lunch boxes were quite valuable, too, aluminum ones!
And there was an enamel basin and a towel, all bought on the day of admission, costing quite a bit of money.
There was half a pound of toilet paper left, a thick stack of slightly yellowish straw paper with tiny, uneven particles, thick yet soft, with lots of bits, something everyone was reluctant to use these days, so of course it couldn’t be thrown away.
In total, it was only two big bags. Gu Ping hung the straw paper and IV bottles in front, with an enamel basin, towel, and lunch box on his back. Everything was packed.
Right at that moment, Shi Suifeng came back, too.
...
Shi Suifeng returned, pushing the bicycle, and couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this.
Gu Ping treasured his IV bottles too much, tying them with string at the bottle necks, from left shoulder to right hip, clinking with 6 empty bottles. The poor child had an enamel basin on his back and had to support his brother, too...
Chen Changhai, pushing another bike, also peeked over and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Kid, get another broken bowl, and you could be an old hunchback begging for food!"
Gu Ping glanced at the two adults, thinking—men, they really don’t know how to live. Look at everything he’s carrying, isn’t each one of them extremely important?
...
"Where’s the doctor?" Shi Suifeng asked.
Gu An, holding a small crutch, replied, "Grandpa Liu went to make oxygen."
At this time, due to the shortage of medical resources, slightly larger hospitals had their own preparation rooms. Oxygen bottles needed to be made with potassium permanganate and filled in saline bottles. The plaster for patients had to be fried by themselves.
Even some common ointments were made by hospital-appointed staff in the preparation room. Hearing this from Gu An, Shi Suifeng knew they were going to be busy again, so he didn’t want to disturb them anymore. He quickly left a message at the nurse’s station, deciding to come back next time and bring the doctor some favorite liquor.
Going back from the city to the base was quite far away, fearing Gu An might not sit steadily on the road and fall, Shi Suifeng tied a big basket to the back seat of the bike, just right for Gu An’s plastered leg to rest on.
Chen Changhai patted the back seat, "Come on, kid, sit here!"
When Shi Suifeng left this morning, Chu River was still packing the toy car with Da Dan. He looked at Chen Changhai:
"Aren’t you riding another bike back? Otherwise, how will you get back?"
Chen Changhai, full of confidence, said, "Your Comrade Little Chu is so confident, saying there’s a good thing, and he gestured it’s quite big. Even if I rode a bicycle, I couldn’t bring it back—might as well help you ride your bike back, and if needed, I’ll borrow a cart from the villagers to carry the goods." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
He was very confident.
Shi Suifeng glanced at him, not showing it on his face, but thinking in his heart: trusting Little He shows quite the insight.
So he agreed, and the two adults rode their bicycles, once again beating the scorching sun on the dusty dirt roads.
The weather at the end of June was really too hot. Just after leaving the city, Gu Ping took out the turtle shell-like enamel basin he was carrying and handed it to his listless brother sitting in the basket.
"Xiao An, put the basin on your head."
Chen Changhai turned the bike handle, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Kid, you’ve got some ideas!"
The enamel basin on the head had to be held with the hand, both heavy and tiring, with the time it took, it was better to pluck some big leaves from the trees on the side.
