"Get up, get up, hey, this is a new society, we don't want this.
Come, come to me and let me take a look, I haven't seen you for several years."
Mr. Chu was very friendly when he saw Xu Shiyan. He quickly asked Xu Shiyan to get up and waved Xu Shiyan to come to him.
Xu Shiyan walked up to Mr. Chu as he was told, squatted down, and looked up at the old man.
"Master, you are old." Xu Shiyan choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
If he had insisted on his own ideas and taken more care of his master, perhaps his master would not have aged so quickly.
"No, Master feels that he is quite young.
Now I can still eat four steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, or two bowls of rice in one meal.
Old rice grains, old rice grains, master can still eat, he is in great health, he is fine."
Mr. Chu was particularly optimistic. When he saw Xu Shiyan was sad, he smiled and comforted him.
"Xiao Zhao, hurry up and get a stool for them to sit down and talk."
Mr. Chu called the nanny, who quickly brought over two stools, and the brother and sister sat down.
Only then did Xu Shiyan remember that he had brought a lot of things to Mr. Chu, and hurriedly handed them over to the nanny.
"Master, I came in a hurry and couldn't bring you anything good.
Just some mushrooms, fungus, ginseng, and a little bit of toad oil and gastrodia elata."
That ginseng tree is naturally Laoshan Ginseng.
Last summer, Xu Shiyan was dragged into the mountains by a scoundrel, and he encountered several wild ginseng trees.
Xu Shiyan didn't say anything. He dug up the ginseng and prepared it and stored it without anyone knowing.
When he came to the provincial capital this time, Xu Shiyan was worried about what gift to bring to Mr. Chu. When he was getting money, he saw those ginseng and chose one from them.
Mr. Chu is getting old, so I would like to give him a wild ginseng tree. If something happens, it may save his life.
Toad oil is harvested from the mother in autumn.
The elderly are physically weak. In the winter in the Northeast, the air pressure is high and the temperature is low. Especially in the provincial capital, the wind is strong and the air is dry, making it difficult to endure.
Stew some toad oil with rock sugar, which can nourish the body and enhance resistance.
"Look, why are you bringing me something for such a long way? It's so troublesome." Mr. Chu laughed when he heard this.
"Don't tell me, I really miss our mushrooms and fungus from Changbai Mountain.
I asked Xiao Zhao to put away the things you sent before and cook them for me every now and then. The food from Changbai Mountain is better and I enjoy it."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore.
Xiao Zhao, put the things away for me first, you can go buy a chicken later, and we’ll have chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch.”
Mr. Chu didn't think about anything else. He just thought that Xu Shiyan got a ginseng tree from the team and kept it for the next year. The chicken soup was delicious.
The nanny nodded and carried the things into the back room.
"In the blink of an eye, your Xiaoliu has grown into a big girl. Looking at her appearance, she looks very much like your mother.
Good boy, I heard what your brother said, you are promising." Mr. Chu looked at Xu Shiqin and nodded in praise.
"Originally, I should recommend you to go to Jinling Drum Tower Hospital. The research there was earlier than ours, and the technology has also been established.
But, it's too far away. If you want to cure your problem, you'll need at least two or three surgeries. It's so far away, and we can't afford it.
Why not just stay in the provincial capital, where I am also leading the research team, and the technology is fine." Mr. Chu looked at Xu Shiqin and explained to her.
Correction of spinal deformities is not that simple, especially for injuries that have been nearly twenty years old like Xu Shiqin's.
The spine cannot be corrected and finalized all at once. Otherwise, the risk factor will be too high and the pressure on the spinal nerves and internal organs will be too great.
Therefore, we need to perform multiple surgeries to correct the problem bit by bit.
Jinling is too far away, and it would take several days to go there. It can’t be afforded to go there several times a year.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu. It doesn't matter whether it's Jinling or a provincial capital, as long as it can be cured." Xu Shiqin smiled and nodded.
Where is Jinling? This is her first time visiting the provincial capital, let alone Jinling. She doesn’t even know where to go.
Mr. Chu glanced at the clock on the wall. It was more than eight o'clock but not yet nine o'clock.
"Xiao Zhao, you take them to find Chi Hao, just say they are the people I mentioned before and let him arrange it."
Just as the nanny had put away her things and came out, Mr. Chu asked her to follow her.
"You two follow Xiao Zhao to the Medical University Hospital and go there to find Chi Hao, the director of surgery, who is my former student.
Currently, he is the authority in our hospital regarding the correction of spinal deformities." Mr. Chu explained to brother and sister Xu Shiyan.
"Go for an inspection first. Come back after the inspection and have dinner with me at noon.
Waiting for the test results to come out, I will have a meeting with Xiao Chi and the others to discuss the details."
Business was urgent. Xu Shiyan and his sister came to the provincial capital just for treatment. They hurriedly went for a check-up in the morning. After the film was released in the afternoon, they could hold a meeting to study the plan.
It's important to seize the time to treat your illness. Any time can be used to reminisce about the past.
"Well, let's go to the hospital for a check-up first, and then come over to have dinner with Master at noon."
Xu Shiyan was not polite to Mr. Chu. He immediately got up and followed the nanny out, heading straight to the hospital.
The Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University is naturally not far from the hospital, and the three of them arrived in a short walk.
The nanny was a family member of a hospital employee and was very familiar with the hospital. She led the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters to Chi Hao, the director of the orthopedic surgery department.
As soon as Chi Hao saw the nanny leading someone over, and looked at Xu Shiqin's condition, he probably guessed what was going on.
"Xiao Chen, I'll leave this patient to you. Give her a check list and do a full body check first.
Especially internal organ ultrasound, spinal anteroposterior and lateral radiographs, all have to be done, and then the films will be sent to me."
After Chi Hao inquired about Xu Shiqin's situation, he handed Xu Shiqin over to a young doctor.
Let the doctor accompany you throughout the whole process. First, he will write a bill and pay the money, and then go from place to place to take pictures and check up.
Fortunately, Dr. Chen was with him, otherwise the hospital was so big and Xu Shiyan would be confused by going back and forth.
After all the inspections are completed, the morning is almost over.
Dr. Chen took the films and various examination results and led the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters back to Chi Hao's office.
Director Chi hung up the film and looked at it carefully, then looked through the relevant examination results, and asked about Xu Shiqin's original injury.
Xu Shiqin was young at that time, so how could he remember to ask? Xu Shiyan could remember some of them, so he helped answer them.
After seeing all the test results and watching the films, Chi Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since Teacher Chu asked you to come, I have to make things clear to you all.
The first one is that this lesbian has been injured for a long time. It is very difficult and time-consuming to completely correct it.
A conservative estimate is that you will have to be hospitalized here for almost three months this time, during which time you will need two surgeries.
Another thing is that the risks of this surgery are very high.
You see, the bone quality in these places has changed. If you want to correct it, you need to remove the excess bone hyperplasia.
Once an accident occurs, such as hitting a nerve or blood vessel, it is likely to lead to more serious disabilities."
"The third one is definitely a money issue.
At present, we use new methods for spinal correction, and all the instruments used are imported and very expensive.
I wonder if you can withstand such financial pressure?"
