The Xie family took turns spending several sleepless nights.
Xie Ying saw her brother's report and judged that his condition was not particularly serious. She also found the most authoritative expert, who also said that the prognosis was very good and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Experts also gave advice, saying that Xie Chong was young and in good physical condition. As long as he cooperated with treatment and would not be under so much pressure in the future, he would be able to recover quickly.
Since Xie Chong's diagnosis, Xie Hongxuan has also done a lot of homework and thoroughly studied almost all the types of thyroid cancer. He also has a relatively optimistic attitude and advises his son and daughter-in-law to cheer up.
Wang Jiying turned over and over again and only said one sentence: "You all say that thyroid cancer is a cancer of laziness, but it is cancer after all. Can I not be afraid?"
Then, Wang Jiying would recall her son's troubled childhood and his many aborted dreams. She felt sorry for her son and burst into tears.
Even if she forgot to boil eggs for her son one morning and left her son hungry, she would cry and repent.
She was not tired of crying, but the whole family was tired of crying.
Wang Jiying missed her son the most, but she was afraid of facing her son's illness, so she wanted to go, but hesitated. Xie Ying, on the other hand, quickly arranged the work at hand, took two days off, and came to her brother's side.
Xie Chong was hospitalized and was still communicating with his colleagues about work. A senior official from the Ministry of Education of the country where he had stayed came to visit. He was supposed to receive it in person, but because of illness, he could not see his old friend.
So, Xie Chong reminded his colleagues what kind of wine the guests from the * country liked to drink and which Chinese historical figures they liked. Xie Chong also said that one of the officials liked Chinese peanuts very much. Xie Chong once took several of them from his father’s supermarket.
The official was very happy when he was given spicy peanuts. Xie Chong's "Peanut Diplomacy" was still a local legend.
Xie Chong's detailed instructions made his colleagues' preparation work much easier. In terms of work, he did an impeccable job.
Hu Baozhu was sitting in the ward, peeling an apple unfamiliarly. The apple was like a hot potato in her hand, no matter how she handled it, she couldn't get it right.
As soon as she saw her old friend, Hu Baozhu couldn't help complaining: "Xiaoying, the doctor told him to drink more books and talk less, but he didn't listen to a word and kept talking on the phone. If he keeps calling like this, he will
Let’s go fight in another world.”
Xie Ying dissatisfied and said to her brother: "You are too incomprehensible. Hu Baozhu, a stunning beauty, put down her work to be with you, but you turned a blind eye and only focused on work. How did you get admitted to Peking University with your IQ?"
Hu Baozhu finished peeling an apple with difficulty and handed it to Xie Chong. Xie Chong complained mercilessly: "Oh, does this apple have acne? Why is it more bumpy than the surface of Mars?"
The fact that he can still talk a lot shows that his mental state is really good.
Hu Baozhu didn't like him either, and made faces at him: "If you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me. Really, I want to treat you well, but you are still picky."
As a result, Xie Chong bit off most of it in one bite.
Hu Baozhu continued to complain to her good sisters: "Xie Ying, your brother only sees work. I think it is most suitable for him to marry his job in the future. I stayed with him for two days, and he only opened his heart to me once."
"What did my brother say to you?"
"That's why he has insomnia."
Xie Chong had a cough, so Hu Baozhu kept his secret.
Xie Ying smiled and said: "It seems that my brother still trusts you. As for what his heart disease is, our family doesn't know."
Xie Chong was very popular, and the ward was filled with all kinds of fruits. He couldn't finish them all, so he gave them to the doctors and nurses. When Xie Ying went to visit, Xie Chong's reporter friend Xiao Gu also came to visit him.
Xiao Gu joked: "Brother Chong has experienced big storms, rains of bullets, car accidents, explosions, all these things have come through, so what does this minor illness mean?"
Xie Chong said the same thing as his mother: "No matter how young you are, you are still related to cancer. If you say you don't panic, that would be a lie."
Xiao Gu's interest has shifted to Hu Baozhu and Xie Ying.
He enthusiastically followed Hu
Bao Zhu shook hands and kept saying, "You're welcome, stay safe." He also said that a colleague really wanted to do an exclusive interview with Hu Bao Zhu and wanted to make an appointment with her.
Hu Baozhu maintained his politeness on the surface and nodded politely and cordially.
Xiao Gu looked at Xie Ying again and praised: "Xie Chong, who is full of thorns, actually has such a sister! You are really different from your brother. Your brother is sharp and sharp, unlike you who are calm and reserved."
Xie Ying defended her brother without hesitation: "But others say that my brother is personable and a humble gentleman. Is it because you two are good friends that you hurt him like this?"
Xiao Gu smiled and said, "Okay, you are as sharp-tongued as your brother."
Xie Chong tried his best to clear his throat several times, and then Xiao Gu realized that there was still a patient lying in the room.
Xie Chong said dissatisfiedly: "You talk to beautiful women when you see them. Are you worthy of your girlfriend?"
"It's just a few words, it's not like we're really dating beautiful women. It's better to chat with these two beauties than to sigh with a sick guy like you, right?"
Xie Chong threw the fruit core at him.
Xie Ying took Hu Baozhu outside and let her brother chat with her good friends for a while. Xie Ying wanted to find her brother's attending doctor and ask about the treatment plan, but Hu Baozhu started crying.
She leaned on Xie Ying's shoulder, feeling very helpless: "Xiaoying, that's cancer! No matter how good the prognosis is, it's still cancer! It's also Xie Chong's fault. He accompanied me for the examination and insisted on taking all the tests.
I brought all the bad luck on myself. In the end, I was fine, but he was fine..."
She could still talk nonsense with Xie Chong in the ward, but in fact she was scared to death. It wasn't until Xie Ying came that she found support.
Xie Ying hugged her, patted her shoulder gently, and said, "You are right, my brother's illness is not serious. But, as a doctor and his sister, I can assure you that my brother's illness is not serious."
It will be fine."
Hu Baozhu quickly wiped away her tears: "I can't cry anymore. I have to be strong so that I can take good care of him."
Xie Chong's surgery was scheduled for September 20, the day after Xie Ying went to visit him. With family and friends around him, Xie Chong was not afraid. In the evening, all his family members came, including his grandfather.
Came together.
Xie Chong was lying on the hospital bed talking nonsense with Xiao Gu. As soon as he saw his grandfather, he immediately sat upright.
Xie Chong always felt that there was nothing wrong with him and there was no need to make such a big fuss. He let his family go back to his place to rest. He felt no discomfort and could take care of himself.
No one listened to him. Wang Jiying walked around the ward and found that there were no washbasins, not enough towels, and no laundry detergent or soap. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she took her husband to the supermarket to buy some.
Unconsciously, only Xie Chong and grandpa were left in the ward.
As an adult, Xie Chong was rarely alone with his grandfather and didn't know what to say.
Xie Hongxuan did not sigh. He tried in vain to cover his grandson with a quilt, asking him to endure hunger and not eat. Otherwise, the operation would be life-threatening.
Xie Chong said with a smile: "Grandpa, I listen to the doctor very much. He told me to fast, so I won't eat anything, otherwise I will suffocate during the operation."
"You are very good. You have always been an obedient child. Unlike your father, who has no idea at all in his mind. I have to tell him countless times about anything dangerous."
"My dad is doing much better. He is much more stable in the past few years than before."
"Yes, your dad is no longer a worry, but what about you?"
Xie Hongxuan suddenly became sad.
Xie Chong said: "Grandpa, apart from not finding a granddaughter-in-law for you, I have nothing for my family to worry about."
"You are the eldest child in the family, so we inevitably have stricter requirements on you. Over the years, you have set an example for your younger brothers and sisters. You have been admitted to the best university and have become the most promising person in our county. However, you once lost
Girlfriend, you are doing such tiring work far away from home. Your family doesn’t care enough about you, which is why you got sick." Xie Hongxuan patted my grandson on the shoulder: "Xie Chong, if you feel uncomfortable, you can cry.
, it’s okay.”
"...Grandpa, do you still treat me as a ten-year-old child now? It's not easy for anyone, and I won't cry easily."
But Xie Hongxuan cried.
He once blocked his grandson's dream and did not let him become a football player. Xie Chong had a rough childhood and the conditions at home were not good. Xie Hongxuan sobbed in a low voice. Xie Chong listened hard for a long time before he vaguely understood his grandfather's words——
You didn't go home for lunch at that time, but bought junk food with Wang Haochuan at school. We're sorry for you.
Xie Chong has long forgotten those past events, but his grandfather's guilt for him has never been forgotten.
Xie Ying rushed back in time and persuaded her grandfather: "Grandpa, crying before surgery is not a good sign."
"Okay, stop crying." Xie Hongxuan wiped away his tears happily: "I'm going to go back to sleep. After my grandson has completed the operation, I have to take good care of him."
Xie Ying sent her grandfather back to her brother's rental house, and only Hu Baozhu and Xie Chong were left in the room.
Hu Baozhu took a bunch of plump grapes and waved them in front of Xie Chong: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
"You can eat whatever you want. I'm fasting and can't eat anything."
"The sugar content in grapes is too high, so I won't eat it either." Hu Baozhu sat down next to Xie Chong: "I'll be hungry with you."
"I've become such a bear, you still want to date me?"
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, so I would like to take this opportunity to show you my sincerity."
Xie Chong's voice became a little hoarse: "I have always known your sincerity. It's a pity that I don't know if I will have the opportunity to repay you in the future."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you saying to say something depressing? Aren't you quite indifferent? Aren't you just saying something righteously and letting the wind blow from east to west? It turns out that you are also timid!"
Xie Chong said nothing. Hu Baozhu looked down and saw that he had fallen asleep.
He suffered from insomnia, but at the most critical moment in his life, he fell asleep like a carefree baby.
Before falling asleep, he grabbed one of Hu Baozhu's hands.
"Go to sleep." Hu Baozhu gently stroked his forehead: "After the operation, everything will be fine."
Hu Baozhu fell asleep lying next to Xie Chong. Although the position was very uncomfortable, she slept soundly.
