She kept asking questions all the way down the mountain. After all, my immediate reaction couldn't deceive anyone, but I didn't want to tell my mother too much. After all, she didn't understand. If I talked too much, she would only be worried. I would just watch.
I am relatively open-minded. I have encountered too many calamities, big and small, over the years. I also know in my heart that it is mine, so I can only face it. In addition, this year is the year of my zodiac, and it is already bumpy.
Since I have a bad destiny and can't find a husband to look after me, what else do I want to do with these laborious things?
I was not in a hurry to go back to Anton, but drove my mother directly to the new house. The new house was the house that Xu Gang helped build for my family. It had red tiles and white walls. It really looked brand new, but when I thought about it,
Now it is just a formality, no one lives there, which is a pity.
After entering the door, Xu Gang handed me the key and whispered: "Jiaolong, just come back. You can keep the keys to your front door and the back room by yourself... By the way, there are also
The password for this passbook is all zero. I have saved some of the money you gave me after the renovations, and I have put it all into the passbook. I know you will definitely come back today to visit your grandma's grave, and you have been carrying it with you."
I took the key and pushed the passbook back into Xu Gang's hand: "Uncle Xu, I can't ask for this money anymore. This house was not built at the beginning, and you also kept an eye on the decoration. Don't follow me."
I'm being polite, I can't even repay the debt I owe you, and if you give me any more money, I'll be even more embarrassed."
Xu Gang was a little anxious: "That's okay, this is not a small amount, one code is one code, I can't ask for your money..."
"Brother Xu, please keep it. Our house is really thanks to you. If you don't keep it, we really don't know how to thank you."
"Huijuan'er, that's not the case. It was Jiaolong who helped me a lot. If it weren't for her, my Yanhong would be gone!"
I shook his hand: "Uncle Xu, Aunt Yanhong has to spend money even for medical treatment. Just keep it, let's not be so polite!"
After pushing and pushing for a while, Uncle Xu sighed: "Jiaolong, uncle, uncle, thank you."
"Uncle Xu, it's me who wants to thank you!"
I stressed that in general, I was the one who called and directed matters such as beam-laying and decoration, but the one who really helped was Uncle Xu. Although he was also a villager hired to help, but whose family
You don’t have to worry about building a house, especially since the house is spotless now. It’s obvious that people come to clean it frequently. A house also needs constant maintenance. As much as Uncle Xu is concerned, I can’t let others suffer in vain: "
Uncle Xu, these windows are polished very brightly, and you have to take care of Aunt Yanhong and help clean them, so you bothered."
Xu Gang smiled sheepishly: "How can I clean up so carefully? This is all done by Da Ya. She comes over to clean the windows and mop the floor when she has nothing to do, so she has laid the foundation, and I am cleaning up.
Just clean up the dust."
Xu Meijin?
It would be a lie to say that I was not touched. I nodded slightly: "Oh, Da Ya...is she still at home?"
Xu Gang shook his head: "No, he left some money for me a while ago and left. He said he wanted to go abroad and get a foothold there in the future. Then he would pick me up. She would also take care of Xiaohu's tuition and living expenses in the future, but...
…I don’t really want to go. Although when I was young, I really wanted to go to the United States to see something, but now that I’m older and I still have land, I don’t want to leave.”
She is going abroad? It seems that this time it has nothing to do with me at all.
After chatting for a while, we felt that it was getting late and we were ready to go back. The door of the brand new house was locked again. I looked back carefully and saw that I could no longer see the appearance of the house I lived in when I was a child. The house was too new. It was new.
Just like a life you have to turn over, those things in the past are becoming more and more blurry.
Aunt Yanhong was leaning at the door of her home and looking at us with a silly smile. Xu Gang said, Jiaolong, come back often and she repeated, Jiaolong, come back often, which made Xu Gang very helpless.
, before getting into the car, he couldn't help but say: "Jiaolong, can you contact Linlin?"
"Xu Linlin? Didn't she call you?"
Xu Gang sighed: "She was the one on TV before. I called her twice and asked her to come back and see her mother. She said she was busy and wanted to go to a foreign country to make a movie or something. Don't look at your crazy Aunt Yanhong now.
, in fact, I am still worried about Linlin the most. When I have nothing to do, I keep mumbling, saying that Linlin has to take an exam and I need to make her some delicious brain supplements. However, Linlin’s recent phone calls have also been unreachable.
I can't see her on TV anymore, so I'm worried, has she really gone abroad? Can you help me find out where she went and when she can come back?"
Before I could say anything, Aunt Yanhong at the door covered her mouth with a "hehehehe" and laughed: "Linlin is coming back, she is coming back, she will fly back."
Xu Gang glanced at her helplessly: "Yes, you can't fly back after going abroad. Didn't I just let you take a look? You didn't even look at it during the Chinese New Year. This kid is too busy."
I think what Aunt Yanhong said was some kind of omen. Even though some people are crazy and their thinking lines are different from ordinary people, they are indeed very accurate in their judgment of what we often call the sixth sense, and I estimated the day.
, Xu Linlin's most beautiful period was only three months, which should be the period around the Chinese New Year. Now it is indeed almost time.
"Uncle, her situation may not be good, so be mentally prepared."
"Ah? Jiaolong, what does this mean? Something is going to happen to Linlin."
I nodded: "The thing she raised is not good, but I should remind her. You know that my relationship with Xu Linlin has always been relatively bad. Even if she takes the wrong path, she will not listen to me.
of."
Xu Gang was a little confused: "Jiaolong, can't you help her? Although she is not my daughter, I have always treated her as my own. I can't just watch something happen to her."
I exhaled and shook my head: "You know her better than I do, and you know that she won't listen to others' advice... I'm leaving Uncle Xu, I'll call you if I have anything to do."
Uncle Xu wanted to say something, but he probably also knew that it was useless to contact me about Xu Linlin's affairs, so he waved his hand: "Oh, be careful, Huijuan'er, come back often!"
Aunt Yanhong was still laughing, "Come back often!"
The car drove farther and farther, until no one could be seen in the rearview mirror, and I sighed softly. The next time Xu Gang contacted Xu Linlin, he would probably receive a notice to arrange a funeral for Xu Linlin. Although
I hate her, and I even think she brought it upon herself, but the dead are always sad.
The mobile phone in his pocket rang. He put on his earphones, glanced at the caller ID, and answered directly: "Hello, Dr. Han."
"Well, hello, I would like to ask you when you will come back. I need to talk to you in detail about the course of your grandpa's illness."
"Oh, I can go back in these two days."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back to meet and talk in detail."
"See you."
…
Three days later, the doctor's office.
"Dr. Han, you mean that if my grandpa didn't have surgery, he would be completely paralyzed in bed, right?"
Han Zheng looked at me seriously and nodded slightly: "Yes, generally as long as the femoral head is slightly deformed, we can repair its load-bearing capacity through surgery. We will not consider hip replacement unless it is a last resort.
Surgery, but your grandpa is bilateral. We can treat one side conservatively, but the other side is very badly worn. If you continue to be bedridden for a long time, considering your grandpa's age and body recovery ability, his side does not need to be replaced.
His legs will gradually lose the ability to walk."
I understand this. Muscles have memory. In local dialect, you have to stretch your muscles. Although it seems to be a slightly better leg and a leg that cannot walk for the time being, the longer you stay in bed, the leg will become stiffer and eventually
Both legs can no longer be used.
"Jiaolong, there is another thing you must consider clearly. This artificial hip joint is not permanent. The patients I have seen lasted for up to twenty years. This is the best time without falling off and some man-made trauma.
Good postoperative healing, but no matter how many years it takes, it will require a second surgery for maintenance. Regardless of the pain and cost that the patient needs to bear, let’s just talk about your grandpa’s physical condition, although he is now eligible for surgery.
Conditions are met, but this is not a minor illness. Surgery, placement of artificial hip joints and bone cement will aggravate the wear and tear of your grandpa's own bone quality. Based on your grandpa's age, if the operation is successful, he will have to be admitted to the hospital again within ten years.
Make repairs."
I raised my eyes and looked at him: "Dr. Han, if there is no surgery, is there no other way for my grandpa?"
Han Zheng shook his head: "If you want to stand up, you must replace the unilateral artificial hip joint, but there are risks. The hospital mainly respects the opinions of patients and their families. Therefore, whether you choose surgery or conservative treatment, as a doctor or a friend,
I must make you aware of the potential harm of both options."
I took a deep breath, bit my lip gently, and said, "I can't let my grandpa lie on the bed like this. This doesn't happen in a day or two, and it will seriously affect his mood."
Han Zheng nodded: "This is what I think too. Your grandpa has been in the hospital for so long to adjust his body. The purpose of our treatment is also to hope that he can meet the standards for surgery. After all, lying in bed is very stressful. If things go on like this,
Patients will definitely experience negative emotions."
"But what about my grandpa's Alzheimer's disease? Will it worsen his condition?"
This is also what I am most concerned about.
Han Zheng pursed his lips slightly, "We will minimize the risk, but no one can guarantee the extent of the damage. But don't worry, I will strictly control whether it is preoperative anesthesia or postoperative medication.
Try to avoid what you are worried about happening. Your grandpa’s overall physical condition is currently good, but if you choose not to have surgery, this kind of pain will make the patient gradually rely on painkillers. Long-term use of painkillers will harm you.
You must be clear in your heart, so I think you should carefully consider the balance between the two parties."
I think Han Zheng knew my concerns very well and nodded: "Did my grandpa have any thoughts during his hospitalization?" I wanted to know what my grandpa said to the doctor.
"He doesn't operate."
Han Zheng looked at me succinctly: "Your grandpa said he didn't want to burden your finances, but your grandpa has been trying to walk on crutches by himself. He wants to stand up. In other words, the patients I have seen are not
As a last resort, I don’t want to lie in a hospital bed.”
I knew it well and gritted my teeth: "I agree to the surgery!"
Han Zheng nodded: "Okay, this is also my opinion. Without surgery, it will only worsen his condition. The femoral head of his right leg is not suitable for conservative treatment."
I know Han Zheng said it politely, but after talking about it like this, I know that both options have risks. According to my grandfather's character, he will definitely not be willing to lie down like this. But if he doesn't do surgery, he will be completely disabled. Do surgery.
, there are risks, but I chose to let my grandpa stand up. I will have less time at home. If he lies at home and cannot walk, wouldn't that indirectly kill him?
"I will finalize the surgery schedule in the next few days based on your grandpa's physical condition. Can you make this decision? Do you need to consult other relatives in your family, such as your mother?"
I shook my head: "No, my mother is still in Anton's hometown. She has discussed this matter with me a long time ago. I will make this idea."
"That's fine, but you have to do your grandpa's job and keep him from having any mental pressure. As the chief surgeon, I am still very confident about this operation."
I stood up and said, "Thank you, Dr. Han."
His temperament makes people feel a little alienated, and his tone is always light. This may also be due to his own personality, but it makes me feel relieved to leave my grandfather to him, and I am secretly convinced that this surgery will be done.
It will definitely succeed.
"Don't be so polite. Even though you are Dan Feng's friend, it is my responsibility and obligation as a doctor to treat patients."
I smiled softly: "Anyway, my grandpa has lived in the hospital for so long, and I'm sorry to bother you. I just left Dan Feng through the back door... However, she hasn't contacted me much recently. When I come back
I can't get through even if I call her, what is she busy with now?"
Han Zheng frowned slightly, "Don't you know about her affairs?"
My heart tightened: "Don't scare me, something happened to Dan Feng!"
"Don't be so nervous. If something happens to her, I won't stay in the hospital with peace of mind. It's her father who had an accident."
"Her father, what's the accident?"
Han Zheng lowered his eyes, with a trace of remorse on his expression: "The traffic accident happened last month. He may have checked Dan Feng's mobile phone and found out that we had never broken up. Dan Feng had a quarrel with her father. After that,
The next day, her father had an accident while driving to the company. He was seriously injured and died on the spot."
"Dan Feng's father passed away?"
I looked at Han Zheng in disbelief and thought about it carefully. It seemed that Rong Danfeng had called me when my mother committed suicide. She was indeed a little depressed, but at that time I was only focused on grabbing my mother's hand.
Sleeping pills, I hung up without even saying a few words to her. I didn’t expect that this happened to her too? She must have known that I was in a bad mood, so she didn’t tell me.
In this year and age, how can something like this happen to you!
"Yes, I thought that based on her relationship with you, she would definitely tell you. She was in a very bad mood at that time. I advised her to change her mind. After all, I always felt that the plan between her and Zhuo Jing was a bit too much.
I was impulsive, but she said it was today and she had to insist and asked me to leave her alone. Her family probably saw that she was too depressed and took her out to relax."
I opened my mouth and said, "She must be feeling very guilty. Her father loves her very much."
Han Zheng's eyes turned red. He nodded and said softly: "It's my fault. Dan Feng is braver than me when it comes to love. She has paid more than me."
I don’t know what to comfort him. Regarding the cooperation between Zhuo Jing and Rong Danfeng, I stand in the same position as him. We all want to be with the people we love, but sometimes we don’t.
And still passive.
He walked out of his doctor's office with a confused mind. As soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he saw his grandfather taking out a bunch of carnations with water on the roots from the hospital bed: "Throw this thing away from me!!"
Aunt Sun stood by helplessly: "Old man, what's wrong with you? These flowers are so good, and they cultivate your sentiments when placed there!"
"I do not like!"
Grandpa replied stubbornly and stiffly like a child: "Don't let him give away any more! I'll throw away as much as you give!"
I walked in a few steps and said, "Grandpa, do you dislike carnations or do you dislike the people who send flowers?"
"I don't like them all! I like potted flowers, but I don't like flowers that will rot after being put in water for a few days!"
"Zhuo Jing didn't give you a pot to raise because it has a bad meaning. He was afraid that you would get sick for a long time and take root!!"
I replied angrily, stepped forward and put the flowers directly into the vase. What I didn't expect was that Zhuo Jing actually came to see my grandpa. According to Aunt Sun's description, Zhuo Jing was not polite in all aspects when he came.
There was no ambiguity, it was self-introduction, but his grandfather did not give him a good look. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep as soon as he came. Zhuo Jing couldn't come every day because of his work, so he sent someone to bring flowers on time. In the past,
When I didn't come back, Aunt Sun said that although grandpa ignored the flowers, he didn't throw them out. Until I came back, grandpa also threw them away. Don't count them all, he just threw them for me to see. This old kid is really like him.
!
Because Zhuo Jing never said this when he went to Anton to visit me or when he called me, I really didn’t know what happened to him and my grandpa when I was at home. If my aunt Sun hadn’t told me about it when I came back,
I didn’t even know my grandpa looked down on him like that!
"Then I don't like him either, I just don't like him! That's what you like about him! He doesn't know how to tell jokes! How can he compare to Xiaobai!"
"But I like it! He must be able to tell jokes. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. I have no problem with you liking Cheng Baize, but can you not mix me up with Cheng Baize?"
Seeing that I was angry, my grandpa snorted and said nothing: "I don't want to tell you this. You might as well not come back and be angry with me when you come back. By the way, don't let that Zhuo come to see me."
, I don’t want to see him!”
"You old man, why are you so colorful? People still see that you are wrong!"
Grandpa raised his eyebrows: "If he has the ability, he will come every day, just like Xiaobai. What time is it? It's six forty, right? Seven o'clock, Xiaobai will be here! This is called filial piety! That's Zhuo and so on.
I just want to fool you!"
"Old man, don't quarrel with Xiao Lin. Aren't you talking about it every day if she doesn't come back? Besides, Zhuo Jing said that he is going out of town during this period, so he can't come to see you every day. Everyone tells you
I explained it, he belongs to the big boss, he must be better than Xiaobai..."
"Xiao Sun! What's the matter with you? Are you still looking for Zhuo? I don't care about his big boss! I don't care about his flowers either. I just want a grandson-in-law who is really good to my granddaughter!
Besides, I can't agree just because he is the big boss. Who knows when he will change his mind and what will happen to my Jiaolong by then!"
I held my forehead, tried my best to calm myself down, and then walked to my grandfather's bedside. "Grandpa, can we not talk about this for now? I told Dr. Han and asked him to set a time for the operation. In the future, your legs
You can leave now.”
"I won't do surgery!" Grandpa said resolutely: "It's like being dead if you take anesthesia during surgery. I will never do surgery!"
"Grandpa, if you don't have surgery, you won't be able to get up!!"
"Yes, old man, you are noisy and in pain every day. The pain is so severe that you can't sleep all night long. You should have the surgery quickly."
Aunt Sun was also advising beside her, "My relatives also had femoral head necrosis. After the operation, they were able to walk with crutches. After a while, they were able to walk without crutches. In addition to being careful, they did not give up their seats.
Apart from paying more attention, everything else is the same as normal people. If you lie on the bed, it will hurt. How can you still be in the mood to take care of the flowers and plants? Xiaolin will be more capable in the future, and I won’t take you for a walk to relax.
It’s convenient.”
Grandpa was silent, but his face was still tense until Cheng Baize walked in with a chess piece and said, "What's wrong? What are you talking about? Grandpa, let me play chess with you tonight."
I glanced at him: "I'm trying to persuade my grandpa to have surgery."
Cheng Baize exclaimed, still smiling when he looked at his grandfather's face: "Grandpa, you need surgery. In the future, I will take you to the south to see the flowers. It is this season, oh, there are endless rapeseeds as far as the eye can see.
Flowers, I guarantee you’ll be filled with joy every time you see them!”
Grandpa glanced at me, then cleared his throat: "If you are good at the operation, I have only one request."
"any request."
Grandpa took a deep breath, propped up his body to sit up, and held Cheng Baize's hand: "I will agree to settle the matter with Xiaobai, otherwise, even if you tell the truth, I won't
I went for surgery and the pain was so severe that I just let myself get over it." (To be continued)
