The cold wind was blowing, accompanied by bursts of drizzle, bringing the biting chill of winter.
Xue Ling wrapped herself in pajamas, helped several elderly people turn up the heating in their rooms, and added air humidifiers. She waited until they fell asleep one by one before turning back to their rooms.
Cheng Tianyuan had just come back from outside. He was clammy and cold. He went into the bathroom and took a hot shower, then changed into a comfortable nightgown and came out.
"It's a cold day. The heater in the living room is turned off. Don't go out and walk around. Stay inside."
Xue Ling sniffed and asked, "Are you hungry? Where can you eat tonight?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "I had dinner with a supermarket manager. I ordered a table full of delicious dishes and meat. My secretary accompanied them to drink. I only ate two bowls of vegetable soup and couldn't eat more than a few pieces of meat."
"You have caught a cold these past two days, so you can't drink." Xue Ling reminded.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "I know. Meat and wine are harmful to the body. At our age, we should do as little as possible."
Xue Ling couldn't help but asked with concern: "Let the kitchen cook you a bowl of porridge, do you want it?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan said: "It's such a cold day, Lao Li should have gone to bed. I'm not hungry. Try not to eat late night snacks at night. Drinking some water and going to bed early is better than anything else."
You know your destiny at fifty. After this threshold, you can't accept old age even if you don't want to. Your physical and mental state will not get better every year.
If you don't take good care of your body and pay attention to maintaining good health, illness may come to your door at any time.
Xue Ling chuckled: "Drink porridge to nourish your stomach and body. If you are really hungry, let Lao Li make a small pot and we will drink together."
"I'm not hungry." Cheng Tianyuan put his arm around her shoulders and pulled the quilt higher, "I left early in the morning and came back now. I feel a little tired. Wife, what have you done today? Tell me."
Xue Ling thought for a while and answered: "When I woke up in the morning, I found that it was really cold outside, so I hurriedly added quilts and sweaters to the old man. I called the eldest and second eldest son and asked if they had brought their down jackets to school. The eldest son said that he was busy and forgot.
I quickly drove out and bought two sweaters and fleece underwear to send to him. I also bought some brand-new down jackets and gave him a short jacket."
"He hasn't been home for more than a month." Cheng Tianyuan shook his head helplessly: "I didn't bring any winter clothes when I came back last time. How old are you? You still don't know how to plan!"
Xue Ling said with a smile: "I told you about him too. Him! Just because we are close to home, someone will give it to him!"
"What about the others? Have you given them to Xiaoxin and the others?" he asked.
Xue Ling nodded: "I then drove to No. 1 Middle School and gave Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong one piece each. Xiaoxin said that Sister Achun made them sweaters a few days ago, two pieces for each person, so there is no need to worry about them getting cold.
I was originally going to see Yang Yang at Imperial University, but he was going to compete with his girlfriend in Central China. He said that the temperature there hadn’t started to cool down yet, so it would probably be in the afternoon or evening. I gave him 3,000 yuan and asked him to take Xiaoxiao to buy it quickly.
Down jacket, don’t catch a cold and affect the game.”
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "Running here and there, I probably won't even be able to have lunch in time."
"Not half an hour later." Xue Ling leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Only when the elderly and children have enough food and clothing, and live comfortably, will my heart be at ease."
Cheng Tianyuan closed his eyes and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, the cell phone next to me rang suddenly!
Xue Ling woke up in a daze and touched her phone - it was Xue Zhilan!
She checked the time and found that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
It was a cold day and it was so late, so there must be something urgent.
She hurriedly answered: "Hello? Uncle? Yes, it's me. Why are you so late tonight? My dad was waiting for you to come over for hot pot earlier, but you didn't come later. He said he would meet you tomorrow.
Chess and hot pot.”
——Well...Okay! I'll go there tomorrow. Lingling, there's something I have to tell you right away...about Xiao Huzi.
Xue Ling was slightly stunned and blurted out: "What happened to him?"
——Last time, you asked me to diagnose his pulse and prescribe some medicine to nourish him, but he hardly ate much. He explained that he really didn’t have time. He had to go to work at night and sleep during the day, so he didn’t have time to boil medicine and drink it. His wife helped
He survived, but he only drank two or three sachets intermittently, and it had no effect at all. I met him in the garden a few days ago, and I checked his pulse again and found that his pulse was a little strange. I asked him to go to the hospital for a test.
Full body examination, especially gastrointestinal examination. At first he shook his head and said he was fine, but I told him a lot. Today he finally agreed to go for a examination. Ah Huan arranged several key examinations for him and got the examination report.
Finally, he came around specifically to show me. Xiaohuzi... he might...
Xue Ling's heart suddenly became so high that she swallowed her saliva.
"Uncle, what could be possible? Please tell me carefully, and I will definitely advise him to cooperate with examination and treatment."
——Don’t be nervous, we just have some suspicions at the moment. Ah Huan said that he would have to have his colon examined to be truly sure.
Xue Ling frowned and pinched Cheng Tianyuan beside him.
"...Is there something wrong with the colon?"
——It’s not just as simple as an accident. We suspect that he has colon cancer. It’s just a suspicion at the moment and needs to be carefully confirmed.
What – cancer?!
OMG!
Xue Ling suddenly felt that the world was spinning. The phone he was holding seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he felt like he couldn't hold it.
Cheng Tianyuan, who was woken up by being pinched, saw that her face was pale and her eyes were dull, and she was nervous and frightened!
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
Xue Ling looked at him blankly, taking a deep breath to calm down.
"Uncle...have you told him? Not yet? You have to let him check it several times quickly!"
——That guy has been busy all day long. I called him earlier and told him to check his colon tomorrow, preferably the entire abdominal cavity. He said that he finally found time to go there today, and he didn’t have time to do it every day.
He ran to the hospital and told me not to worry because he was young and strong. I was secretly anxious and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I had to discuss it with you.
Xue Ling nodded hurriedly: "Uncle! Let - let Ah Heng arrange an abdominal examination and a key colon examination tomorrow morning. I promise you that I will take him to the hospital tomorrow morning!"
Hearing her assurance, Xue Zhilan finally felt relieved and reassured in a low voice that he might have seen it wrong, the image was a bit blurry and it was hard to be sure. It would be better to discuss it carefully with a professional doctor after a careful examination tomorrow.
Xue Ling reluctantly agreed and made an appointment to meet tomorrow, then ended the call with trembling hands.
Cheng Tianyuan hugged her and asked: "Little Huzi? What's wrong with him?"
Xue Ling explained in a trembling voice.
Cheng Tianyuan listened with a heavy face and swallowed secretly.
"Then... check and confirm first. Uncle and Ah Huan are just suspicious, and the proof is not yet certain... Tomorrow! Tomorrow I will escort him to the hospital with you. I will go to his house to look for him early in the morning. If he can't find him, he will go to the club.
Catch him and go to the hospital immediately."
Xue Ling nodded.
Both of them looked very ugly and felt very uneasy.
