Chapter 612: She Was Fine This Morning; How Did She Faint?
Down the slope, Liu Zhijun quickly turned the newly acquired tractor around; up on the slope, Uncle Liangzi's wife turned and entered the courtyard: "Liu Chuxue, hurry! Zhijun has brought the tractor back; it's right down the slope. He said he'd take you there."
Liu Chuxue ran a few steps to the table, grabbed an empty glass jar, poured half a bottle of water from the thermos, then went to her own room to fetch her shoulder bag, placed the jar inside, picked up the person, and walked out, moving so fast it made people gasp.
As soon as she left the courtyard, she said to the person behind her: "Auntie Liangzi, please lock the door for me."
Auntie Liangzi quickly replied: "Understood."
She had just turned the corner and reached the bottom of the slope when Liu Shanliang, having received the news, came running back, panting: "Liu Chuxue, how is your mother?"
Liu Chuxue did not answer; instead, she looked at the tractor's cargo bed: "Quick, give me a hand."
Liu Zhijun had just gotten off the vehicle and was walking toward one side of it.
Hearing this, he quickly opened the rear gate of the cargo bed with swift eyes and nimble hands.
At that moment, Liu Shanliang also arrived nearby, jumped onto the vehicle first, took the person from Liu Chuxue's arms, did not pass them on again, and sat down on the sack in the cargo bed while holding the person.
Seeing Liu Chuxue seated steadily, Auntie Liangzi also climbed onto the vehicle: "I'll go along; if anything happens, I can lend a hand."
After speaking, she shouted to the few people still below the vehicle: "Help me ask the team leader for leave."
At that moment, Liu Zhijun started the vehicle: "Sit tight; we're leaving now."
Liu Shanliang looked at his wife, who had not yet woken: "She was fine this morning; how did she faint?"
Liu Chuxue knew nothing about medicine; her heart was also in turmoil, fearing it might be some acute illness. Though anxious, she dared not urge Liu Zhijun, after all, this vehicle had just been brought back; she feared that if she urged him, he might drive it into a ditch again.
This tractor was not the small kind seen on the Renminbi; it was like a car, very high, with very large wheels.
Fortunately, Liushu Village was not far from the commune, and they soon arrived at the commune's health center.
Liu Zhijun had a loud voice; seeing Seventh Grandfather from the village sitting at the entrance, he shouted loudly: "Seventh Grandfather, quickly call the doctor to save someone!"
Liu Chuxue quickly got off the vehicle first, preparing to receive the person.
But Liu Shanliang, holding the person, was too nervous; his legs had gone numb and he could not move.
With no other choice, Liu Chuxue had to climb back onto the vehicle, and together with Auntie Liangzi, they lifted the person up.
Just then, the doctor, having heard the news, also came running out and helped take the person off the vehicle.
Liu Chuxue held the person and hurried into the health center.
Liu Laoqi followed behind: "Zhijun, what happened?"
Liu Zhijun shook his head and said: "I'm not entirely clear either. Yesterday, the village head and I went to fetch the tractor. The village head went home to deliver something. Knowing that everyone in the village was harvesting crops at the far end of the village today, I thought I'd drive over and give everyone a surprise. Passing by Uncle Shanliang's house, I was stopped by Auntie Liangzi."
Just as they entered the health center, unexpectedly, Liu's mother, who was in Liu Chuxue's arms, slowly woke up. Seeing her second daughter's face, she called out: "Liu Chuxue."
After calling out, she then felt something was wrong: "What happened to me?"
After speaking, she turned her head and looked around: "Why have we come to the health center?"
After all, Liu Shanliang had been hospitalized here before, so he recognized the place at a glance.
Liu Chuxue saw that she had woken: "Physician, my mother has woken up."
At this point, having been led into the examination room, she said: "Quickly examine her to see what's wrong."
Speaking thus, under the physician's guidance, she placed the person onto the examination bed.
Liu's mother raised her hand, wanting to stop, but heard Liu Chuxue say: "Mother, where do you feel unwell? Tell the physician."
Liu's mother then remembered that while working in the fields, she had felt very dizzy. She had originally wanted to find a place to rest for a while, but as soon as she straightened her waist, she felt dizzy, her body swayed, and she fell down; after that, she knew nothing.
