Reborn! I Ditched the Run and Married the Heir-Chapter 330: First Day of the Free Clinic

Just as Qin Xiao carried the child out of Aunt Hua’s house, Feng Ye, who had been secretly following and waiting outside, immediately took the child and ran to the wheat drying ground.

Xiao Li, accompanied by Aunt Hua, also quickly walked out. Seeing Aunt Hua holding her back, Xiao Li slowed her pace and said, "Aunt Hua, your back isn’t good, don’t rush, take your time to walk over.

My colleagues are over there, they’ll take good care of Wenwen. I’ll walk over with you slowly..."

At the wheat drying ground, most of the people who came to collect things had left, leaving only the medical team and some curious children.

Zeng Yuanyuan, while tidying up the packaging bags from earlier, remarked, "Sister Wenwen, are we here for charity work or a free clinic? All morning we’ve only been handing out things, and once people receive them, they leave without staying to see a doctor."

Yue Wenwen laughed, "The free clinic is also a form of charity, and giving out things is too. They are all good deeds, what’s the conflict in that?

We’re new here, and everyone is quite resistant to us. By giving them things, firstly, we’re doing a good deed; secondly, we’re establishing a good relationship with the locals.

Look at Village Chief Gu’s attitude now, compare it with yesterday, and you’ll understand. Once relationships are built, everything else becomes easier."

No sooner had Yue Wenwen finished speaking than her phone rang. She quickly answered, "Hello, sis? Okay, I’ll tell Director Du right away."

After hanging up, Yue Wenwen immediately turned to Director Du, "Director Du, Dr. Xiao called and said she suspects the little girl has acute gastroenteritis and is being sent over here. We need to prepare to receive her."

As soon as she said this, she looked up and saw Feng Ye running over with someone. She quickly called out, "Help, quickly."

Even as the words left her mouth, she ran forward.

People nearby who heard and saw quickly moved to help as well. Hehua was gently placed on a few tables pushed together, where a gastroenterologist proceeded to examine her.

Yue Wenwen glanced at Feng Ye, noticing the sweat on his forehead. She quickly took a tissue from her pocket and handed it to him, "Wipe off the sweat!"

Feng Ye took the tissue, "Thanks!" he said, then stood aside.

After a series of examinations, it was confirmed to be acute gastroenteritis, and the nurse immediately arranged to give the child an IV.

When Qin Xiao and Xiao Li arrived at the wheat drying ground with Aunt Hua, Hehua had already received about half a bottle of the IV.

There was no choice, Feng Ye had run through the village with the child, so many households had seen him, and as they followed behind, people gathered around asking what had happened.

Some of the elders even said Aunt Hua was being hasty, letting a child see a doctor without checking the calendar, which wasn’t good.

Aunt Hua smiled and explained to them, saying she had checked the calendar on the wall and knew today was suitable for medical treatment, which is why she let the doctor see her.

Only then did Xiao Li understand why Aunt Hua had agreed so readily before, it turned out she had taken the opportunity to check the calendar.

With a sudden idea, Xiao Li cheerfully said to the people around her, "Folks, look at today’s date, it’s perfect for medical treatment. Our medical team just happens to be in the village to give you free checkups. If you don’t get checked today, next time you’ll have to go down the mountain, pick a good day, walk a long way, and pay out of pocket. It’s a waste of time and money, right?

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not worth it! You might as well take advantage of today and get checked up!"

Upon hearing Xiao Li’s words, some villagers were tempted and went to consult the calendar to be sure.

Seeing that some people were interested, Xiao Li deliberately slowed her pace, allowing Aunt Hua to chat with the villagers, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

In this way, they arrived much later than Feng Ye, but they brought a long line of people with them.

As they approached the wheat drying ground, Qin Xiao quickened his pace to explain the situation to everyone, so by the time Xiao Li brought the people over, the medical team was ready with queues set and smiles to welcome locals for checkups.

Xiao Li led Aunt Hua to Hehua, who had already been arranged to sit on a stool backed against the earthen wall receiving her IV.

Aunt Hua sat beside Hehua, "Hehua, how are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

Hehua nodded, "It hurts, Grandma."

Aunt Hua anxiously turned to Xiao Li, "Girl, this..."

Xiao Li gave a gentle smile, "Auntie, your granddaughter has acute gastroenteritis. The medicine has just started, it will take some time for the effect to kick in. Wait a little, and the pain will lessen."

After explaining to Aunt Hua, Xiao Li squatted in front of Hehua and softly said, "Little girl, you might throw up again in a while. Don’t be nervous, vomiting is to expel all the bad stuff from your stomach. Once it’s clear, your tummy won’t hurt anymore.

There are many doctor sisters and brothers here, don’t be afraid, okay!"

Hehua nodded, recognizing Xiao Li as the one who had awakened her at home earlier. Seeing her, she didn’t feel scared anymore.

Xiao Li smiled and touched her hand, noticing her IV hand was cold, she fetched a small blanket and gently covered her hand.

"Auntie, how do you keep warm around here now that it’s cold?" Xiao Li asked.

"At home we snuggle up on the kang, or we burn a brazier of coals. Why, are you cold? I’ll go home and fetch you a brazier," Aunt Hua said, starting to get up.

Xiao Li smiled and shook her head, "No need, Auntie, your back isn’t good, don’t run around. I’ll have someone else do it."

Saying this, Xiao Li went to talk to Qin Xiao, who, along with Feng Ye and some others, went to find Village Chief Gu.

Not long after, they came back with many braziers, placing one beside each doctor and at Hehua’s feet.

After arranging everything for Aunt Hua and Hehua, Xiao Li joined the examination team as well.

Accepting the white coat handed to her by Zeng Yuanyuan, with a shake and a slip on, the feeling in her body changed.

Reclining there, Hehua watched as Xiao Li donned the white coat and gently examined the villagers.

At that moment, in her little heart, an idol took root, and she resolved that when she grew up, she too would become a doctor like her!

Xiao Li moved from patient to patient with a stethoscope, seeing several patients, and then she frowned slightly, discovering that several of them had bronchitis.

Through understanding, she found that some had acute bronchitis, but most of them had chronic bronchitis.

Xiao Li knew that bronchitis is related to the weather.

Acute bronchitis is caused by pathogen infection; during cold weather, the cold stimulates bronchospasm, reduces the body’s immune resistance, making the bronchi more susceptible to infection, leading to acute bronchitis, whereas during hot weather, this occurs less frequently.

Chronic bronchitis is caused by repeated bronchial inflammation. By the same token, during cold weather, if acute bronchitis repeatedly occurs due to infection, it increases the likelihood of chronic bronchitis. Moreover, in cold weather, cold air irritates the airways, making people with chronic bronchitis more likely to experience symptoms like coughing, phlegm production, and shortness of breath.
