Chapter 2976

The sound of coughing came from the house, and the hostess of the house was a little worried.

That was her son, who had been coughing for about a week.

She took him to a nearby hospital, and the doctor did not find any problems. He did not have a cold or a fever, but just kept coughing.

They also used some advanced medical equipment to assist in diagnosis, such as X-rays, but found no abnormalities.

In the end, the doctor believed that the young child's cough was due to allergies or psychological.

The people of the Federation are very strange. Almost most people are allergic to something, and the symptoms of allergies can be very... strong, even fatal.

In the past few years, there have been many deaths every year due to allergies to peanuts, dairy products, vegetables or certain pollens.

This also led to the fact that some raw materials that may cause allergies, such as peanuts, must be indicated in the processed foods of the Federation, and the number of peanuts or grams must be accurate.

In addition, the psychology of the people of the Federation is also very fragile. Almost everyone will suffer from mental illness, and it is easy to attribute some of their own problems to psychological problems.

For example, when they are tired of eating a certain food but are unwilling to admit that it is their problem, they will say that they have a fear of this food, which is a psychological disease, not that they don't want to eat it.

In addition, there are many symptoms that doctors can't figure out, which they will also think are allergies or psychological problems, such as coughing, burping, and farting.

Yes, farting without a reason is also considered to be caused by allergies or psychological diseases.

Just like this young man now, he keeps coughing, and the doctor can't find out what causes it, so it's either allergies or psychological problems.

He gave the family a diagnosis and suggested that they try to check the allergens and the corresponding desensitization test, or find a psychologist.

For the former, they probably need to pay for medical expenses ranging from fifty dollars to unlimited, after reimbursement.

For the latter, they need to pay for psychological treatment costs of about twenty-five dollars each time for forty minutes, and it needs to last for at least two weeks.

This cost is unaffordable for this family, even if there are two working workers in this family, their monthly family income is about close to three hundred Singapore dollars.

But they still can't afford this cost.

Since the cough is not caused by disease or infection, let him continue to cough.

This may be the only solution for most families facing these difficult and complicated diseases. They do not have the financial foundation to support young people to solve this problem, so they can only hope for time and self-healing.

According to a report that the Federal Medical Group has not made public, more than 40% of patients eventually recover by relying on self-healing ability, not medicine or other things.

And this number may be much higher than it shows.

Federal has the largest number of placebo drugs in the world.

"Send him some food and close the door. I don't want to hear this sound."

The male owner ate while asking his wife to send the food to the children in a somewhat irritable manner.

The current work is not easy to do. In fact, to some extent, it actually meets part of the demands of the working class in the past.

Less working hours, more rest time.

Everyone only needs to work six hours a day, and 20 minutes of them are used to rest or go to the toilet.

Doesn't it sound good, but now they don't even care about a meal, and they have also achieved four shifts.

Almost all factories are like this. Each workshop has four teams, and each team works six hours.

Now we still use the old timekeeping method, even though the outside world actually has thirty hours a day.

But in the shelter, people still follow the rule of twenty-four hours a day to live and work.

With less workload, wages cannot be so high. The work of two teams is now done by four teams, so the wages of one worker are naturally divided by two people.

Six hours of work is not tiring, but it is still tiring.

On the basis of being almost tired, the salary is reduced by half, and no one will be happy.

But this is something that can't be helped. Society needs more jobs to stabilize people's emotions and give them some income so that they can improve their lives.

Then the work of one or two people can only be assigned to three, four or even five people.

Everyone gets very little, but after all, it is a job, and society quickly stabilizes.

People have been eager to work for too long, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with having a job and a salary income.

My wife is also working, working shorter hours, only four hours, and earning less.

She carried some food into the room. Edible fungi have become the main food source for various shelters.

And these fungi have various tastes and flavors after processing. For ordinary people, they are much more delicious and acceptable than liquid food.

Perhaps it was because of eating something, the cough of the young man in the room gradually subsided. After finishing his meal, the man went to the living room and turned on the TV.

The plot of "Superheroes" played on TV quickly immersed him, and his wife soon came out and sat beside him, and the two watched the TV show together.

On the coffee table in front of him were some popcorns coated with a layer of syrup -

It is actually a processed fungus, which is completely dehydrated through some processing methods, and then fried to bring some flavor, and then coated with syrup.

It tastes not much different from the previous popcorn in terms of taste, and there are more changes in taste.

This new type of popcorn costs five dollars a pound, which is a little expensive, but people are willing to eat it to improve their meals.

In addition to this, there are two large bottles of carbonated drinks. Water and flavorings are not in short supply, and carbon dioxide is easy to make, so the price of carbonated drinks has not increased much.

The development of science and technology in the new era has indeed solved many problems of material shortages, such as cloning.

Some relatively low-level or civilian-level cloning technologies have begun to be put into trial application in major ranches. With less feed, more output can be obtained. With gene modulation, some problems are no longer as serious as in the past.

The couple ate popcorn and drank sweet and sour carbonated drinks. Life seemed to have returned to the past, except that their income had become lower.

The TV series "Heroes" has occupied the top spot in ratings since it was broadcast. Until today, the story of more than fifty human heroes fighting aliens and alien gods attracts every audience.

It was filmed into a new model of TV series. According to Penny in an interview, the initial plan for this TV series is to shoot 3,000 episodes!

This news made all TV fans particularly excited. They have been longing for a TV series that can betray them for a long time!

As the subtitles of "To be continued" appeared, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

"They really should broadcast more episodes every day. I hate the feeling of not finishing half of the show."

The husband took a big sip of the carbonated drink and then burped for a long time, as if doing so could make him feel comfortable and relaxed.

The wife also agreed, "I really want to know whether the Thunder Man can defeat his opponent, the Fly Man. I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time."

"And there are other evil forces behind. If he can't defeat this opponent, he will soon be left behind by others."

The husband disagreed with his wife's concerns, "Please, he is a superhero, he can't lose!"

"It's like a battle between a warrior and a dragon. No matter how strong the dragon is, the warrior will prove that he is the one who wins in the end!"

The couple quarreled about the plot for a while, and the husband suddenly realized that he hadn't heard his son coughing for a while, and he became a little nervous.

Although most of the time he was very annoyed with this son who was dependent on his parents at home and unwilling to go out to find a job, after all, they were father and son.

"I'll go see him."

He pushed the door and walked into the room. His son was sleeping on the bed, his face looked ruddy. He walked over and touched his son's forehead, which was not hot.

The food on the plate next to him had been eaten clean, without even a residue left.

This made him feel a little relieved. From the perspective of a father who has not received higher education, being able to eat and sleep is a normal behavior.

Then, after the worries subsided, the boredom regained the upper hand.

"Besides sleeping, it's eating!"

He left the room, carefully closed the door, and then handed the plate to his wife, "He's already asleep, and he looks like he slept well."

The wife put the plate in the sink, and the two returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed.

A day's work and worries about the future prevented them from engaging in the entertainment activities that are unique to couples, and soon both of them fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the light outside had completely dimmed, and the husband opened his eyes in a daze. He heard some noises coming from the living room.

He tilted his head to look at his sleeping wife, frowned, and stood up with a screwdriver on the bedside.

Although the public security rate has risen to a very high level, it does not mean that there is no crime in this society.

There are always some people who try to take risks.

He pushed the door open and saw that the refrigerator door had been opened. A man was standing in front of the refrigerator, seemingly grabbing something inside and stuffing it into his mouth.

From the back, it looked like his son. He suddenly became a little annoyed, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and eating here secretly?"

"Go back to your room now, and go out to find a job tomorrow morning."

In front of the refrigerator, his son suddenly stopped what he was doing and slowly turned around...
