The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

In the 90s, with the continuous improvement of medical and health levels, the popularization of infectious disease prevention and control in the country was also promoted very well.

So when Darong saw that Zhong Yunxing's eyes and face turned yellow, she immediately thought of the infectious disease "Hepatitis B".

Darong was very nervous and scared at the time. She felt that if Zhong Yunxing really got hepatitis B, he would be trapped in it for the rest of his life and it would be difficult for him to integrate among his colleagues and family.

After arriving at the town's hospital, the doctor simply took a quick look at Zhong Yunxing's appearance and sent them directly to a specialized hospital for infectious diseases without writing any test orders.

Darong and Zhong Yunxing, both wearing thick gauze masks, stood in the hospital corridor waiting for the test results. Zhong Yunxing was always several steps away from Darong. At that moment, he was actually very worried and scared.

"You don't have to stay so far away from me. If it were true, I would have uploaded it long ago." Darong glanced at Zhong Yunxing who was standing next to her.

At the moment, she was not worried about herself, but about Xiao Ruyi at home. The three of them had always lived and eaten together. If it was really hepatitis B, what would happen to the child?

When the test results came out, Darong was heartbroken. As expected, Zhong Yunsheng was indeed infected with hepatitis, but it was not hepatitis B as they had guessed, but hepatitis A.

For Darong and Zhong Yunxing, they had no idea about the difference between hepatitis A and hepatitis B, so when they saw hepatitis written on the list, Zhong Yunxing's legs went weak.

"It's over. How am I going to earn money from working? What are you and the kids going to do?"

Zhong Yunxing himself did not realize that tears had already flowed down his face at this moment. His mind was filled with the pitiful look of Xiao Ruyi who would be excluded in the future.

"It's okay, let's get it treated and go find a doctor."

Darong grabbed Zhong Yunxing's arm. It was the first time she saw Zhong Yunxing cry. At that moment, her heart was broken.

"Hepatitis A, you need to be hospitalized. Go and complete the hospitalization procedures, and your family members should also do a test. After all, it is contagious. If you are not infected, it is recommended that you get vaccinated as soon as possible."

"Doctor, is this hepatitis incurable?" Although Darong already thought so in her heart, she still asked the doctor with a glimmer of hope.

"Hepatitis A is different from hepatitis B. His case is not a serious disease and should be curable. It's just that you need to pay more attention to liver care after you recover. If you have the habit of drinking, you must quit."

The doctor noticed the anxiety in Darong and Zhong Yunxing's heart, and after briefly explaining their condition to them, he handed Darong a brochure on preventing hepatitis A.

It was then that Darong and Zhong Yunxing realized that although they both had hepatitis, there were essential differences.

After Zhong Yunxing was diagnosed, all the adults and children in his family went to the hospital for tests. Fortunately, none of the family members were infected, but to be on the safe side, the children were still vaccinated.

Ruyi was already ten years old at that time. Although she didn't know what disease Zhong Yunxing had, when she saw such a big fuss, she knew in her heart that his disease might be serious.

"Grandma, is my dad going to die?"

During those days, Darong stayed in the hospital with Zhong Yunxing, and Xiao Ruyi stayed at her grandmother's house because school was about to start.

"Don't talk nonsense, your dad is fine, isn't he being treated in the hospital?"

Darong's mother looked at Xiao Ruyi and knew that the child was thinking about her father, so she comforted her softly.

Because hepatitis A is also contagious, Zhong Yunxing stayed in the hospital for more than half a month and was not discharged until he was fully recovered.

During the period when he just returned home, Zhong Yunxing didn't dare to let Ruyi go home. He was still somewhat worried that he would infect Ruyi.

"The doctor said you're fine, so stop worrying about it."

Darong packed up the things she brought back from the hospital, soaked all the towels and clothes in disinfectant, and boiled them at high temperature before hanging them up to dry.

"Wait a few more days. There will be a follow-up check-up in a week. Let Ruyi come back after the check-up."

As soon as Zhong Yunxing came back, he lay in bed to rest. Although according to the doctor, there would be no sequelae after the treatment, Zhong Yunxing clearly felt that his physical strength was not as good as before.

That spring, Zhong Yunxing missed the start of the first wave of projects in March and could only wait at home for the second batch of projects to start. However, neither he nor Darong expected that they would have to wait until the end of May.

There is only so much time available for construction in a year. If it is delayed for more than two months, you can imagine how much income will be lost.

Darong took care of Zhong Yunxing in the hospital for more than half a month. When she returned to the factory to work, she found out that she had been unilaterally transferred to the "crushing workshop".

"Sister Rong, don't you know?"

Xiao Jinzi looked at Da Rong who was standing in the boiler room with a confused look on her face, and asked in surprise.

"I don't know. I've been taking care of him in the hospital and only came to work today." Darong looked at Xiao Jinzi, then at the team leader, Master Li.

"Damn, this old baldy is such a piece of shit. He told me that he had already talked to you." Master Li frowned, stood up and prepared to go find Baldy Liu.

"Master Li, I'll go by myself. Don't get involved in my affairs."

Da Rong, who had come to her senses, stopped Master Li who was about to go out.

Today's Darong is no longer the careless little girl. She has experienced the consequences of offending her boss, so she doesn't want her colleagues to get into trouble.

Darong carried her small bag and went to the workshop office to find Liu Tuzi.

"Tou'er Liu, I heard that you transferred me to a crushing position. Why?" Darong asked directly as she entered the room.

"The crushing room is short of people, but the boiler room has too many people."

Baldy Liu glanced at Darong, holding the teacup in his hand with one hand and resting the other hand on the back of the chair, without saying a word.

Darong looked at Baldy Liu in front of her and knew from his expression that he did not want to give any explanation for this matter.

Crushing is the most tiring workshop in the entire fiber mill. The work here is very hard and requires a lot of physical strength. Each raw material package has a standard weight of 400 kilograms, and a group of two people have to transport the materials back and forth from the warehouse to the crusher.

"What about the treatment?"

After being silent for a while, Darong finally compromised and accepted the transfer. The efficiency of the fiber factory is no longer as good as before. She knows that such a transfer is just a screening before asset restructuring.

If Darong refuses, she will most likely become one of the first employees to be laid off from the fiber factory.

When she was young, relying on the protection of the environment, Darong once enjoyed the unrestrained and willful youth. But now that she is middle-aged, she has to bow to the five pecks of rice.

Youth only lasts a few years. After enjoying the unbridled freedom, we eventually learn to make do with life.
