We parked the car downstairs of the hospital. We were afraid that someone would come and tow the car away again, so this time we handed a box of Liqun to each of the two security guards downstairs in advance, and thanked them profusely, asking them to keep an eye on the car for us and make sure it didn't get towed away, as we were going to take a patient out of the hospital soon.

After entering the hospital, we split into two groups.

Lin Lin went upstairs to pack Xiao Bai's luggage. I took my grandfather to the lobby on the first floor for the simplest daily checkup, just like the place where blood sugar tests were provided in pharmacies before. As long as you pay RMB or municipal currency, there will be volunteer nurses to help test. If you want to see a doctor, you can only go to the second floor. There are a few idle volunteer doctors. We are not sure whether they have medical qualifications. Because after the earthquake, all information was paralyzed. Who knows what everyone's background is? After coming out, the identity and background are given by themselves, but medical equipment will not lie.

I first tested my grandpa's blood sugar, and it was actually normal. Then I used an instrument to measure his blood pressure, and it also returned to normal. Finally, I spent money to take an X-ray of his leg, and there was no trace of the fracture. I was so happy that I couldn't help but sigh that it seems that there are really blessings in disguise in this world! Grandpa was also very happy and said that his legs, which used to be sore, are now much smoother when he walks.

Then my grandfather and I went upstairs to pick up Xiaobai. Xiaobai looked so pitiful, and my grandfather felt very distressed. Looking at Xiaobai's plastered leg, my grandfather told me that if we had the chance, we should see if we could help him recover.

I stopped my grandfather and whispered in his ear with a guilty conscience, "Grandpa, let's not go around saving people. If your ability is discovered and someone catches you, where can I find you?"

Grandpa nodded, he also understood the reason.

Lin Lin and I lifted up Xiaobai, and I said why not buy Xiaobai a pair of crutches. Just as I was saying this, a volunteer nurse came over with a pair of crutches and asked us if we wanted to buy them.

I asked Xiaobai, "You haven't been out of the field these days, so how do you go to the toilet?"

The nurse then said that of course he would be provided with crutches in the hospital, but in the current environment he could only pay for them in person.

Lin Lin rushed to pay the money. The hospitalization fees for the past few days were borne by the government, and no money was charged. The crutches were not expensive, and we only asked for three hundred yuan and issued a receipt. It was said that the city’s medical reserves were not short of these things, but there were not many people who could be saved so far.

It has been ten days since the natural disaster occurred. Many people are gradually accepting and adapting to life in the base. It has to be said that humans are still very tenacious in their ability to endure.

I supported grandpa, and Lin Lin supported Xiaobai as we took the elevator downstairs. When we saw Xiaobai's van, we got in and planned to take him home.

Xiaobai had already moved to the staff quarters outside the factory before the earthquake because he was getting married. It was a residential area specially built by several factories, and it was only separated from the factories by a road. Before the earthquake, the city had regulations stipulating that staff family buildings could not be built in factories, so the staff family buildings were built on a planned piece of vacant land outside the factory wall, and it was called an experimental residential complex.

The reason why it is called experimental housing is that there is a factory that produces customized movable houses made of colored steel plates around this factory area. At that time, small villas with colored steel frames were mass-produced and then placed side by side in the community like cubicles. This is also the main reason why the community was intact and did not collapse after the earthquake.

At first glance, this community is very similar to the Minecraft world in the game, as if pieces of it were pieced together to form a community.

This residential complex was only completed at the end of last year. According to the policy at the time, any married factory worker could apply for a house like this. A cubicle villa was about 200 square meters.

The new experimental community has a modern gatehouse at the entrance, but a part of the gatehouse collapsed after the earthquake. The collapsed part was pushed aside by a bulldozer and does not affect the entry and exit of vehicles in the community. It can be seen that the community originally had carefully planned green spaces and gardens, but now the green spaces and gardens have been basically flattened and compacted by rollers, forming only ordinary roads leading to the villas.

From the vehicles coming in and out and the people walking around, it can be seen that this community is quite prosperous. Xiaobai said doubtfully that this place used to be far away from the city and the houses were not cheap, so there were not many families moving in. How come there are so many people living here now?

I said that’s not the case. The residential area is basically not damaged and they are all independent villas. They are much more comfortable than the dormitories in the factory. Someone will definitely move in.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai asked Lin Lin to stop the car. He opened the window and leaned out to greet a passerby walking by the car: "Brother Li, why is our neighborhood so lively now? Where do all these people come from?"

The man Xiaobai called Brother Li under the car saw that it was Xiaobai in the car. Obviously, Brother Li was also very talkative. He started chatting enthusiastically. He first asked: "It's Xiaobai, what's wrong? Haven't you been home these few days?"

Xiao Bai immediately replied that his leg was hit by falling objects during the earthquake, and he was hospitalized for the leg injury and was discharged today. Brother Li was stunned and agreed with concern: "So that's the case? I thought you went back to your hometown with your wife. I said I haven't seen you two for a long time."

Xiaobai looked sour when he heard this, but he just shook his head with a wry smile and replied that his wife had gone back to her hometown by herself. We in the car listened and tactfully kept silent.

Brother Li continued, "Luckily you came back, otherwise the population would have been counted these days. If you hadn't come back, your house might have been sold to someone else! Our neighborhood is very popular now. Fortunately, we bought the house first. I heard that people who want to buy a house here without cash have to exchange it with gold. We have sold all of it!"

Xiaobai felt a little scared when he heard this, and immediately waved goodbye to Brother Li and said that he wanted to go home immediately.

Lin Lin might go to their house often, and she drove to a small villa on the side of the third row very familiarly. Lin Lin asked Xiaobai for the key to the gate and opened it. After Lin Lin parked the car in the yard, the two of us helped Xiaobai get out of the car first, and then I helped grandpa get out of the car, and we began to visit Xiaobai's villa.

It's really unexpected that Xiaobai's townhouse is really nice. As soon as you enter the gate, the car can turn directly into the garage next to the first floor. There is a small garden of ten square meters in the yard. Xiaobai planted many roses, and they are all in bloom. The colors are as bright as flames and exude fragrance. It can be seen that Xiaobai was a person who loved life in the past. Passing through the garden and entering the first floor is a living room with dining and bathroom. In fact, the area of ​​the upper and lower floors is not very large. The color steel house is a fixed frame, and the internal structure layout is very reasonable. There are two rooms, the master bedroom and the second bedroom on the second floor, with a bathroom in the middle, and even a small open-air balcony on the second floor.

I couldn't help but sigh that these conditions are pretty good!

Xiaobai also responded proudly, saying that this was the suburbs, the land was not very expensive, and the houses were sold as welfare wedding houses to newlyweds of factory employees. In fact, the prices were incomparable to those in the city. But now his wife had left him, and he was alone living here and needed someone to take care of him, feeling very desperate.

I was a little tempted. What if we also bought a house here? Wouldn't it be much better for our whole family to move here than in the dormitory?

Grandpa comforted Xiaobai and asked him if his parents could come to take care of him. He replied frustratedly that his family was from the countryside and that he wanted to bring his parents over after buying the house. Yingying was adamant that his parents come to live with them. Now he didn't know whether his parents escaped after the earthquake. It was all his fault that he listened to that woman. Otherwise, his parents might still be alive now. Who knows if they are separated by Yin and Yang now?

I still feel very sad after hearing this. He listens to his wife in everything. He really forgets his mother after marrying her!
