Zolotko Fedorovna

Zolotko is an infectious disease specialist. In the past, the head doctor of the hospital. She retired 10 years ago and thought: she finally gets enough sleep, rest from night duty and calls! But life on Zolotko had other plans.

Actually, she is aurelia. A beautiful Latin name that means "gold". But the neighbors have long called her Zolotko Fedorovna. Aunt Ira from the first floor, Aunt Masha from the second, Aunt Valya from the third, Aunt Natasha from the seventh, aunt of light the door opposite.

In the cooperative house on the outskirts of the provincial city, they all settled back in the 80s-in the year of Brezhnev’s death. Together we watched on TV "TASS is authorized to declare." Together they planted lilacs in the yard. Together made repairs. Together baked charlotte for six apartments. The first time met at the draw - young, strong, hard workers - all of them were 40 years old then. All families, children, husbands. And now each of them is 70. And they are still alive.

Aunt Ira drinks, Aunt Masha drinks, Aunt Natasha drinks, only aunt Valya and Aunt of the Light do not drink the door opposite. Aunt Vali cats, hypertension, old mother and garden. Aunt Sveta has grandchildren, diabetes, a parrot of Ramses and a cottage.

Zolotko Fedorovna has no time to drink and has no time - the phone in her apartment does not fall silent. So Lyuda called from the next entrance - her husband is bad, asks Zolotko to come to measure the pressure while the ambulance will go. And the ambulance rides an hour and a half. Zolotko knows about this, so the whole shelf in the closet is occupied under the pharmacy. Zolotko puts syringes, papaverine, diuretic and tonometer in a bag.

It all started with aunt Ira from the first floor: the neighbor was poisoned by vodka and was lying in the porch blue

And then it will be necessary to go to the dusa-cladwoman to sit with the grandfather who no longer gets up. Zolotko will gather a pie in the bag, cutlets - everything that she cooked for herself. Grandfather 95, and he no longer wants to eat. He was left with the strength of a month. And Zolotko will just talk to him - he will tell you how things are in Ukraine, what the weather is on the street, and a joke. Grandfather will become funny. He will be redrawn. He will even stand on the bed and ask for condensed milk. Dusya-plane will be very surprised, because the grandfather is pale for a week and has been eating through force.

And at night a aunt of light will call - the grandson has vomiting. And Zolotko will drink ice water from the refrigerator to wake up, open the closet again and put everything into the same old leather bag, ampoules, cotton, alcohol and tablets. Zolotko had already done injections to the grandson of Aunt Sveta when he was ill with bronchitis. The boy recovered - running. The drawing was presented to the drawing by March 8 - a tulip and a golden heart.

Rarely when the phone in the apartment is silent.

Zolotko is an infectious disease specialist. In the past, the head doctor of the hospital. She retired 10 years ago and thought: she finally gets enough sleep, rest from night duty and calls! He will go to his son in Africa, lead the cottage, will nurse his grandchildren, begin to plant tomatoes, read science fiction and watch detectives. And more - no medicine!

The whole microdistrict knows her - a gray, little woman with cheerful eyes and a young voice

To fulfill the old dreams, it was enough for six months. Pictures from Ethiopia have long been in the photo album, and tomatoes are in the bank. All Efremov and even Lukyanenko are covered. And teenage grandchildren are pies every two weeks once every two weeks. And ... Goldenly depressed. Insomnia came. Be starting to stab on the side, jump pressure and break the joints. And Zolotko decided that she was old age - she came. And even thought to accept her, weak. But life on Zolotko had other plans.

It all started with Aunt Ira from the first floor. The neighbor was poisoned by vodka and lay blue in the entrance. Zolotko found her when she carried out a garbage bucket, and pumped it out. Then the aunt's son Natasha fell from the bicycle and dislocated his leg - Goldenly corrected the dislocation right on the playground. And then? And then Aunt Valya could not knock the temperature with an old mother, and Zolotko made an injection. And then? And then the friends and relatives of the neighbors learned about her .... And then friends and relatives of friends and relatives.

The telephone in the apartment of the gold does not silent day and night. And the ambulance rides an hour and a half. Zolotko Fedorovna and her old medical bag are needed. And it’s so happy. The whole microdistrict knows her - a gray, little woman with cheerful eyes and a young voice.

Only sometimes, when the gold herself is not good, she wants to see her son and daughter. But it passes quickly.

The name "Zolotko" was given to her by the very little grandson of Aunt Sveta the door opposite. He lay, coughing, waiting for an injection. He asked what her name means. Then he sat on the bed and, burping, said: "So, so you are Golden Fedovna?"
