Chapter 934 Negotiation
When Liu Jingxue scanned the entire production team with her spiritual sense just now, she had already discovered that in the cowshed, several elders were sitting together listening to the radio.
She came to the gate of the cowshed and found it was bolted. Not wanting to knock on the door and trouble her elders to open it, she simply climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Worried that the elders might hear the noise and think bad guys had come and fall into the yard, she quickly shouted,
"Grandpa Zou, Grandpa Wu, Uncle, Aunt, I'm here."
Recognizing Liu Jingxue's voice, Liu Weihua, who was sitting outside, quickly got off the kang and went to open the door for her.
She also said, "Xiaoxue hasn't come over for two days. Why is she here at this time today?"
"Xiaoxue can come whenever she wants, so does she have to choose a time to come?
Go and open the gate quickly, don't waste time," Wang Xiulan urged.
Zou listened carefully and said, "From the sound, Xiaoxue has already entered the yard and is walking towards this side. There is no need for Wei Hua to open the gate.
Just open the door and let her in."
Sure enough, when Liu Weihua opened the door, he saw Liu Jingxue almost reaching the door.
Looking at the gate that was still locked from the inside, Liu Weihua became a little suspicious. Could it be that the gate was not locked just now and was locked after Xiaoxue came in?
Following Liu Weihua's gaze, Liu Jingxue saw that he was looking at the courtyard gate, and she vaguely guessed what he was thinking.
"Uncle, I just came in through the wall, not through the gate.
The gate was always locked.”
Liu Weihua was somewhat speechless, "Why didn't you knock on the door and come in through the door? What were you doing climbing over the wall?"
"You learned this from your two sons. They don't go through the main gate but instead love to climb over the wall," Wang Xiulan complained.
Liu Jingxue stuck out her tongue and silently apologized to her elder and second brothers in her heart.
In a moment of impulse, I ended up bringing trouble upon both of them.
“I just thought that if I knock on the door and wait for you to open it, you’ll have to get dressed, which is too troublesome.
I might as well climb over the wall and come in myself."
In fact, it was mainly because she had something on her mind and was a little anxious. She wanted to find Wang Xiulan to confirm it quickly and couldn't wait.
It was obvious that the elders were not convinced by her explanation.
“I didn’t see you climb over the wall before, so why can’t you wait today?
Xiaoxue, you came here suddenly today and you are so impatient, did something happen to you?" Mr. Zou said bluntly.
Taking off her thick cotton jacket and putting it on the kang, Liu Jingxue did not cover up and said directly,
"Grandpa Zou, you are right. I came here because I really have something urgent to discuss with my aunt."
"Go find your aunt." Liu Weihua glanced at Wang Xiulan, wondering what Xiaoxue might want to discuss with his wife.
Could it be something between women?
Wang Xiulan guessed the same thing and hurriedly moved to the edge of the kang, preparing to get off. "Then let's go to the inner room and talk."
She was mainly worried that Liu Jingxue would be embarrassed to talk about girls' matters in front of so many male elders.
It was obvious that Liu Jingxue did not understand what Wang Xiulan meant.
She was confused and said, "Why are you going to the inner room? Just talk here."
If an infectious disease really occurs, the elders must be informed and help give advice on how to make arrangements.
They themselves should also stay at home and strengthen precautions.
Wang Xiulan was stunned when she heard this and stopped moving towards the kang.
Could it be that I guessed wrong, and Xiaoxue was not talking about girls' things?
"Xiaoxue, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked curiously.
Liu Jingxue sat down on the kang and said seriously, "Aunt, Uncle Wu, the barefoot doctor from the production team, came to see me and told me something. I felt something was wrong, so I came to ask you for advice."
"Oh, what did that half-baked doctor tell you?" Mr. Wu said bluntly.
Liu Jingxue did not hide anything and told Uncle Wu what he had said, as well as some of her own speculations.
“I don’t know if my guesses are correct, but according to Uncle Wu, most of the people who are sick now are from the same family, and this disease is obviously highly contagious.
The medicines I made before, although somewhat effective, may not be able to cure the disease.
You know, I don't know any medical skills, so I can only come to see you, aunt, to see what you think."
As Liu Jingxue spoke, the faces of several elders became more and more serious.
After she finished speaking, Mr. Zou spoke first.
“I feel that Xiaoxue’s guess is very likely to be true.
The fact that so many villagers are sick, and there are several patients in one family, shows that the disease must be contagious.
Judging from the fact that the doctor was visited last night, this disease may not only affect our production team, but also other production teams and communes.
After all, the youngest son of that family last night came back from junior high school with the disease, and then infected the rest of the family."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Xiulan, "Xiulan, when it comes to treating diseases, you are a professional, what do you think?"
Wang Xiulan frowned, "This disease is definitely contagious, but to know how contagious it is, I'm afraid we need to find out the activities of those patients in the past few days.
According to the barefoot doctor, in recent days, there have been so many people with colds and fevers, and they have been coming back again and again. Even the medicine made by Xiaoxue could not completely cure them.
I don’t know if the situation is the same outside the Red Star Production Team.
If so many patients have the same symptoms and no one has been completely cured for so many days, I'm afraid it really is a new infectious disease and the previous medicines are not effective.
If it continues to develop, it will become a new plague just as Xiaoxue guessed, spreading throughout the production team, the commune, the town, and even the entire country."
Liu Jingxue became even more anxious when she heard this. Judging from her aunt's expression, she couldn't possibly confirm it.
"Aunt, you can't confirm whether this is a new plague or not?"
Wang Xiulan shook her head. "How can I confirm it based on your and the barefoot doctor's statements? I need to see some patients in person and feel their pulses in person to know."
"Xiu Lan, do you want to see those patients in person?
But if it is really an infectious disease, you might get infected if you go to treat them." "Old Wu was a little worried.
He suggested, "Why don't we let Xiaoxue go find the captain, tell him the guess, and ask him to go outside to find a doctor to confirm it."
Wang Xiulan shook her head and said, "If it was so easy to hire a doctor, the Red Star Production Team would not have allowed that person to occupy the position of barefoot doctor for so many years.
Besides, if the team leader went to the commune to tell his guess, someone there would go find the patient to confirm it, and doctors would become in short supply, so there was no way they would be sent to the production team below.
The production team can only save itself.”
"If we delay any further, I'm afraid more people will be infected in the production team, and it will be even more difficult to treat them."
When Liu Weihua heard what Wang Xiulan said, he knew that his wife, who was familiar with her temper, had made up her mind and would not stay out of it.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Xiulan's arm tightly without saying a word.
Wang Xiulan knew her husband's worries. She looked at Liu Weihua and said with a smile,
"Wei Hua, you support me, right?
I have always supported your work, and now it is finally your turn to back me and support me."
Liu Weihua didn't say anything, but just held Wang Xiulan's hand tightly.
