Considering that Xue Heng and others' moods had not yet recovered, Xue Ling did not visit them in the nursing home until a week later.
The sanatorium is spacious in area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a very beautiful environment.
The only disadvantage is that it is too far from the city. If you want to have any entertainment, you have to go to the city, and you have to commute on the road for an hour or two.
Lao Chen drove Xue Ling to the parking lot of the nursing home and got out of the car first and opened the door.
"Madam, I... I want to inquire about the admission conditions here. I wonder how long you will stay?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled: "At least an hour or two. It's okay. I'll call your mobile phone number when I'm leaving. By the way, the consultation desk is over there, and there will be someone there during working hours."
"Thank you, madam." Lao Chen thanked him gratefully.
Xue Ling asked casually while twisting things: "Are you asking for your family members? Are they your elders?"
"I...my wife." Lao Chen replied.
Xue Ling was slightly surprised and asked: "Your wife is about our age, right? She seems younger than us."
"Yes." Lao Chen replied with a wry smile: "She is several years younger than me, but she has always been too fat and her blood pressure has always been too high. A few months ago...she suffered a cerebral infarction and a stroke."
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't you say anything?"
Lao Chen smiled sheepishly and replied: "I took a few days off at that time. You and your husband are so busy every day, so I don't dare to let you bother. Fortunately, my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are very filial and have always taken care of me.
My two daughters took turns helping me, which relieved a lot of my burden. She was discharged from the hospital two weeks later. Her movements were very slow, but the impact on her daily life was not too great."
Xue Ling nodded lightly: "Following recovery and recuperation must also keep up, so you plan to send your sister-in-law here?"
"Not bad." Lao Chen explained: "She recovered very slowly at home. Several children discussed finding a suitable place to recuperate and do some auxiliary recovery treatments. They consulted several companies, but none of them were very satisfied. Although here,
It's a bit far, but the environment is very good. I thought... if it's not expensive, I'll send her here."
Xue Ling chuckled: "I'll tell Ah Heng and the others later and ask them to give you a 30% discount - the price for friends and relatives."
"Really?!" Lao Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, madam! Thank you! Thank you!"
Xue Ling stopped and said: "There are professional nurses here, as well as beds and rooms for escorts. You can choose according to your family's financial conditions and actual situation. If you need to ask for leave -"
"No need." Lao Chen explained: "My youngest daughter resigned a while ago and has not found a job yet. She majored in nursing and knows how to take care of her mother. She said that she can live with her mother for the time being, and her brother and
My sister will take turns on weekends so that she can rest for a day or two."
"That's good." Xue Ling said: "When your wife recovers and is able to take care of herself, your daughter can find a job again. With your daughter by your side, your wife's recovery will definitely be more optimistic."
Lao Chen hurriedly replied: "I - I am a rough man and don't know how to take care of others. Fortunately, the children are not like me and take good care of their mother. My work is not delayed, everyone takes turns.
, the impact will not be too great.”
Xue Ling couldn't help but praise: "So, at the critical moment, there is strength in numbers!"
"Yes, yes." Old Chen scratched his hair and whispered: "Especially the two daughters... are really caring and filial."
Xue Ling shook her phone and said with a smile: "I'll go upstairs first. If you think it's suitable after consultation, send me your sister-in-law's name and admission time. Don't worry, you can definitely get a 30% discount."
"Okay, okay." Old Chen bowed slightly and walked towards the front desk.
Xue Ling took the elevator upstairs and went straight to the dean's office.
"Sister Ling!" Xue Huan was waiting at the door, smiling and taking the heavy bag from Xue Ling's hand, "What are these?"
Xue Ling replied: "Some snacks you like to eat and some bird's nest."
"It's too expensive." Xue Huan shook his head.
Xue Ling whispered: "Xinzhi sends a large box to Xinyuan every once in a while, and we can't finish it. Please, just think of it as helping me."
"I am extremely happy." Xue Huan laughed dumbly: "If there is such a great thing in the future, we will definitely be there at your call."
The two entered the house and sat on the sofa nearby.
Xue Huan smiled and asked: "Sister, can you make Pu'er tea?"
"No." Xue Ling said, "I still have to go find A Heng. I called his cell phone earlier, but he didn't answer. I'll come to you first."
Xue Huan explained: "My brother is probably doing acupuncture. But it doesn't matter. It should be over in half an hour. I will accompany you to find him later."
"Okay." Xue Ling couldn't help but ask, "Where's A Fang? She works in the finance department, right?"
Xue Huan nodded: "Yes, Sister Fang usually works in the Finance Department. Her hypoglycemia is getting better, but... she was too sad the past few days and her mental state was very poor. She only returned to work the day before yesterday."
Xue Ling sighed lowly: "Birth, old age, illness and death are all inevitable processes in life. You are all in this industry, so you can still be bearish when you should be bearish. My aunt has had a successful career and a happy family in her life, and her two sons are very up to date.
. She took care of herself in old age, had children and grandchildren around her, and finally died at the end of her life. To be honest, she was considered a very lucky and happy person."
"Yes."
The descendants under my knees are not rich enough, my brother, the eldest son, is in a wheelchair, Sister Fang has cervical spondylosis again, there is a shortage of manpower, and the funeral is full of loopholes."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Just now, I was lamenting to the driver downstairs that there is strength in numbers. Once you get older and your health fails, your children can help each other a little. They will not be under great pressure, and the elderly can also be properly taken care of."
"Having children also requires the fate of children." Xue Huan laughed: "When I was young, I was busy working to make money and fight for my future, and I was exhausted from taking care of a child. When I gave birth to a second child, we were not very willing at first. After a while, we all
When you enter middle age and old age, when you need "more people, more strength", you find that there are few people, but there is nothing you can do, and there is no way to save the day."
Xue Ling sighed: "There are so many helplessness in life!"
Xue Huan laughed and said: "Sister, your helplessness and regret are definitely on the lower side compared to your peers."
"Not bad." Xue Ling squinted his eyes and asked, "What about you? Do you think you have any regrets so far?"
Xue Huan thought for a while and answered: "Maybe... it's the problem with the children. When the children were young, they spent too little time with them and lacked some communication. Now that they have grown up one by one, they have missed the best opportunity to communicate.
.”
"What about A Heng?" Xue Ling asked: "What is his biggest regret? What do you think?"
Xue Huan smiled sheepishly: "Maybe it's a marriage problem."
