It is not convenient to take a taxi near Zijinyuan Community, so Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingning scanned the code to share bicycles.
The two of them rode all the way and arrived at Huashan Hospital smoothly, and then rushed to the special care single ward where Zhang Bai's mother was.
Entering the ward, Yu Zhiming saw the fourth sister and Zhang Bai standing on both sides of the hospital bed.
Lying on the hospital bed was a thin woman with gray hair and no apparent age.
Yu Xiangwan had tears in his eyes and held the woman's left hand.
The woman's right hand was held tightly by Zhang Bai on the other side of the hospital bed.
Yu Zhiming noticed that the woman still had a heartbeat and breathing, and was in a coma.
He glanced at several physical indicators on the monitor and knew that Zhang Bai's mother would never wake up again.
She is already on her deathbed and now relies on a ventilator and infusion to maintain her body functions.
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Bai.
I haven't seen him for two or three weeks. His eyes are red and swollen, and his face is haggard and sad. He seems to have aged ten years.
Yu Zhiming did not speak, but came to the fourth sister's side and held her other hand.
Gu Qingning stood on the other side of Yu Xiangwan.
Zhang Bai raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, sniffed again, and said: "Dr. Yu, Gu Qingning, thank you for coming to see my mother on her last journey."
"Thank you!"
Yu Zhiming said politely: "You're welcome, I should have come. It's just a pity that I came late."
He looked at the fourth sister whose eyelashes were filled with tears.
Yu Xiangwan came closer to him and whispered: "Auntie waited for me to come and said a few words to me before she fainted."
After a moment of pause, she said with an embarrassed look: "Well, Lao Wu, I promised Auntie."
"I am willing to be Zhang Bai's girlfriend."
This...
In this day and age, there are still dramas about dying children?
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Bai with a somewhat unkind look.
Zhang Bai's face was filled with sadness, and he stared blankly at his mother on the hospital bed.
"Mom, I will take good care of myself, get a wife, have children, work hard, and I won't let you worry anymore."
Zhang Bai looked up at Yu Xiangwan again and said pleadingly: "Xiangwan, I have prepared my mother's shroud."
"Can you..."
Yu Xiangwan interrupted without any hesitation: "Brother Zhang, let me wear the shroud for auntie."
Yu Zhiming sighed, shook the fourth sister's hand hard, and pulled Gu Qingning out of the ward.
"Oh, my sister really believes in that guy Zhang Bai."
Gu Qingning asked speculatively: "Because of wearing a shroud?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said: "Our custom is that only children and daughters-in-law are qualified to wear shrouds for the elderly."
Gu Qingning snorted and said softly: "Aren't you guys always pushing for sister Xiang Wan's marriage?"
"I think Zhang Bai is a very good person. He is extremely filial to his mother-in-law, and his character is the first thing to say."
"I heard that I worked as a middle-level manager in a fairly small company, and my abilities must have been pretty good."
"Looks and size are okay."
Yu Zhiming said slowly: "I was worried that my sister would get hot after shaving her head. She saw Zhang Bai was pitiful, so she took the initiative to help, and ended up getting herself into trouble."
"After a while, Zhang Bai comes out of the pain of losing his mother, and he may not still recognize his sister's love."
Gu Qingning stared and said: "If he dares, let's break his legs together."
Yu Zhiming glanced at this guy, "Can feelings be something that can be forced on others?"
Gu Qingning hummed and said: "Sister Xiang Wan is kind-hearted and her own short-term rental business will definitely develop with your help."
"Where can I find such a good wife? Zhang Bai is blind, so he doesn't recognize his sister's love."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "I hope everything goes well as you said."
"It's rare to see the fourth sister being moved, and I don't want her to be emotionally hurt in the end."
"My fourth sister is not easy to coax when she cries!"
"Why is it so difficult to coax?" Gu Qingning's heart aroused.
Yu Zhi understood her and ignored her words...
The two waited in the corridor for more than half an hour before being called into the ward by Yu Xiangwan.
I saw Zhang Bai's mother on the hospital bed, already neatly dressed in a new shroud, and even her face looked much better.
Zhang Bai looked at his mother on the hospital bed with a look of grief and extreme reluctance.
His right hand was pressing the switch button of the ventilator. He was trembling but could not press it.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but persuade: "Zhang Bai, you must know how Auntie has been here these days."
"It must be a painful time."
"Now, it's time for Auntie to leave."
"Let's not let Auntie suffer anymore. Let Auntie leave quietly."
Yu Xiangwan came to Zhang Bai and held his left hand with concern.
Zhang Bai looked at Yu Zhiming and Yu Xiangwan, then looked at his mother with deep nostalgia, took a deep breath, and pressed the ventilator switch.
As the ventilator stopped running, the red line indicating the heartbeat on the heart monitor quickly calmed down after beating randomly for a while, and soon became a straight line.
Yu Zhiming took a step forward, turned off the heart monitor, and stopped the beeping alarm sound.
"Xiang Wan, I have no mother."
"Xiang Wan, I have become a motherless child..."
Zhang Bai could no longer hold back his emotions, turned around, hugged Yu Xiangwan, and started crying.
At first, he tried his best not to cry loudly, but after a while, he burst into tears.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Yu Zhiming’s ears hurt a little.
He bowed respectfully three times to Zhang Bai's mother on the hospital bed and walked out of the ward.
Gu Qingning also bowed three times in a learned manner, left the ward, and caught up with Yu Zhiming who was leaving.
"Zhi Ming, are we just going to leave like this? There should be a lot of things happening later, right?"
Yu Zhiming kept walking and said: "The next step is either to transfer it to the funeral parlor for cremation, or to send the body back to his hometown."
"Zhang Bai should have made arrangements. It will be fine as long as my sister is with you. We don't need to worry about it."
Gu Qingning said "oh" and followed Yu Zhiming quickly without saying a word...
After all this trouble, Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingning returned to their residence in Zijinyuan. It was already past midnight...
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Yu Zhiming got up on time and left the bedroom, but found that the flip-up bed had not been put down.
He knew that the fourth sister had not returned home all night, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
Yu Zhiming kept urging her, and the fourth sister quickly found a boyfriend to marry.
But now that the fourth sister has really been found, Yu Zhiming feels uncomfortable.
The two are twins and have grown up together like inseparables.
In Yu Zhiming's memory, whenever he went to strange places, places with many people and cars, and every day after school, during breaks and play breaks, his fourth sister would hold him with her soft little hands.
.
This pulled him until he was fourteen years old, his eyes could see clearly, and he could walk on his own.
From now on, the fourth sister’s hand will be holding someone else’s hand...
Suddenly, Yu Zhiming's hand warmed up, and his left hand was held by a soft and warm little hand.
He shook his hand, but failed to shake it off. He turned around and glanced at Gu Qingning, who was wearing cartoon pajamas and messy hair.
Gu Qingning smiled at him.
"I know you are reluctant to bear sister Xiang Wan being snatched away. After all, you are twins and your feelings are different."
"But the day will come."
"Zhi Ming, I will take good care of you like a sister."
Yu Zhiming hummed and said: "It's useless to rely on words. Let's prepare today's breakfast first..."
At half past seven, Yu Zhiming came out of the bedroom. When he saw the breakfast on the dining table, he couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
Gu Qingning smiled and said: "I am not prepared today, and I will definitely not be so perfunctory tomorrow."
"Let's make do with a meal today..."
Academician Tan Ying's international medical exchange will start at ten o'clock in the morning, and Yu Zhiming first came to Qiyue Medical Research Center.
As soon as he entered the big office, he was told by Qiao Lei that Rao Yi's friend was already waiting for him in the examination room.
It was only half past eight in the morning when Yu Zhiming checked, which was enough time to check one patient before the ward round.
He came to the examination room and saw a man with long hair, a ponytail, and an artistic atmosphere.
It's just that this person is walking with a limp on a single crutch, which slightly damages his image.
Yu Zhiming has learned that this person's name is Zhang Yue, he is 32 years old and is good at violin playing and arranging music.
Zhang Yue told Yu Zhiming that his left leg was damaged when he accidentally hit a lamppost while riding a motorcycle.
"Sister Yi has the utmost respect for Dr. Yu."
"You say your probing skills are unparalleled, but my situation is like child's play in your hands..."
Yu Zhiming was not in a good mood today and glanced at Zhang Yue blankly.
"Don't talk, just lie on the bed."
Zhang Yue could clearly feel that the young doctor in front of him was in a very unhappy mood.
He closed his mouth and lay on the examination bed obediently. Then he noticed a hand pressing on his left knee...
Two or three minutes later, Yu Zhiming ended the inspection.
"There are indeed bone fragments in the left knee joint, three small pieces, the particles are small, and they have been embedded in the cartilage."
"I can use a puncture needle to take it out."
"It will hurt a little..."
Zhang Yue said hurriedly: "Doctor Yu, I am not afraid of pain, and I also know that long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain."
Yu Zhiming smiled slightly and asked Qiao Lei to get the puncture needle...
After three punctures, Yu Zhiming neatly took out three small bone fragments about the size of half a grain of rice.
Seeing Zhang Yue sweating in pain, Yu Zhiming felt a sense of joy in his heart.
"Zhang Yue, you still have four small fragments of bone in your left calf. I can also help you take them out."
Zhang Yue asked timidly: "It still hurts?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said: "You need local anesthesia."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, okay. If I don't bother the two masters, I'll just bother Dr. Yu..."
After Yu Zhiming finished dealing with Zhang Yue's problem, and then followed Teacher Qi Yue to check the room, it was already nine forty.
He hurried to the Liver Research Center and saw Academician Tan Ying leading a dozen or two people chatting enthusiastically with two or three foreigners in front of the center building.
Yu Zhiming also saw an acquaintance beside the foreigner.
