"Yinghong, you should eat more. Weicheng has been with me in the hospital for two months. You have been busy at home and in the fields. Look at how much weight you have lost." Old man Xia Shande warned his daughter-in-law.
Zhou Yinghong nodded quickly, pointed at the food in the bowl and said, "Dad, I'm eating it."
Xia Zekai muttered while eating: "Mom, it's too cold at home. We have radiators installed here, the charcoal ones are fine. I'll leave the money for you later. You can take a look at it if you have time.
If you have one, install it, it’s too cold at home.”
"I have been here for so many years, but you are the only one who has a lot to do." Zhou Yinghong said to him. After all, she felt that it was too expensive to install and pick up things, and the cost of burning charcoal in the later period was also a lot. How could she live a different life while scraping by in the countryside.
Xia Zekai did not defend himself. Xia Weicheng took over and said, "Let's install one. I also think it's time to install one. Otherwise, Yatou and Tongtong may not be able to bear it when they come back for the New Year."
He then said to his son: "Forget about the money, you have more things to do there and the expenses are high. You still have money to install a radiator at home."
The matter was settled just like that.
After eating, Zhou Yinghong packed her things at home, and Xia Zekai and his father moved all the things for hospitalization in Jicheng to the car.
At dawn, when Xia Weicheng was loading things into the trunk, he discovered that his son's car had a scratch on the rear butt, the paint was worn away, and the car's butt was also dented.
He didn't know much about cars, but he also knew that it was damaged. He didn't know who had hit him, so he hurried home and asked his son who was hugging the quilt: "Zekai, whoever hit the back of your car, I'll go."
Find someone in the brigade to yell at you, this son of a bitch, he broke the car and ran away without even saying a word, he's so paralyzed."
Xia Weicheng is really popular, is there such a thing as this?
Xia Zekai understood it as soon as he heard it. He said: "Dad, I did it myself. Don't look for anyone else. I will just deal with it myself later."
This is what happened yesterday afternoon on the highway. Although the brakes were applied firmly and hard, he couldn't stop the car behind him because there was still no time, so he still wiped the butt of his car. Fortunately, the problem was not serious. In addition to the environment at that time,
Comparing the two, no accident is the best result. Who has time to worry about car damage?
Xia Weicheng still didn't believe it, so he asked him again: "Are you really okay?"
"Dad, it's okay. Let's load the car and leave quickly. If we're late, we won't be hospitalized," Xia Zekai said.
Xia Weicheng was not in a hurry. He said, "Your uncle and your elder brother went to see Dr. Lian for hospitalization first. They are faster than us. Don't worry."
"..."
Xia Zekai was confused, could he still do this?
After helping grandpa sit down and fastening his seat belt, Xia Zekai drove away.
On the way, Xia Weicheng told him, and then Xia Zekai understood what his father and his uncle were doing, that is, his grandfather had been treating patients there, and he had contacted Dr. Lian in advance. Dr. Lian also had Xia Shande's file, and he
The uncle can go over in advance and re-hospitalize the grandfather, otherwise this trick will not work at all.
The journey to the hospital went smoothly, and the road outside was full of cars parked on both sides. Xia Weicheng was quite emotional: "There are so many cars, and there are so many people in the hospital."
"Dad, let's not worry about that. Call my uncle and ask where they are." Xia Zekai warned him.
Xia Weicheng made a phone call and learned that his eldest brother and nephew were in the inpatient ward. It was no longer the same ward as last time.
When Xia Weiguo knew that they had arrived, he quickly brought his eldest son down. He first sent his old father to the ward to rest, while his cousin Xia Yunfei helped him get his luggage downstairs.
He also saw the place where he was hit.
"Brother, who pushed you? What happened?" Xia Yunfei has a lot of experience. He used to repair cars. He is not like his uncle Xia Weicheng who doesn't know anything and is not easy to fool.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and briefly told his brother what happened on the highway yesterday. He finally said: "Brother, I told you, don't tell me or the others again, otherwise they will have to
Worried."
"Hey, you!" Xia Yunfei was still frightened after hearing this.
He drives a large truck now, and he also knows that most likely this kind of thing is a sudden accident, and you never expect such a thing to happen.
Walking upstairs with Xia Zekai holding things, he also muttered: "Maybe that big truck had a puncture, or maybe the driver was too sleepy and took a nap."
Who knows, Xia Zekai doesn't care about this either.
The ward this time was good, it was a two-person room, much better than the one last time.
The other hospital bed was still empty. Xia Yunfei said: "When we went to Dr. Lian for hospitalization in the morning, he said that this bed also has a patient number and that he would come over tomorrow."
Xia Zekai is not interested in this kind of thing. If someone has connections, that's just his ability.
Just like them, the patient has not yet arrived, but the patient is hospitalized.
After putting down all the things, including the two folding beds, Dr. Lian brought several young people in white coats over to check the ward before they were finished.
He asked Mr. Xia Shande how he felt and how he was doing during this period. He also lifted up his clothes and looked at the area undergoing radiotherapy.
Xia Zekai also took a look and saw that there were still two black spots on his grandfather's back, but they were no longer as severe.
"Always wear aloe vera gel." Dr. Lian turned to Xia Weicheng and asked.
Xia Weicheng nodded: "My father was still itchy when he first came back, so I kept applying that ointment to him. In the past few days, the itching has stopped, so I didn't apply it."
"Well, as long as the itching is gone, it's fine. The main reason is that the patient is afraid of scratching when itching. If the skin is scratched, it will be easy to be infected with bacteria, which will be troublesome." Dr. Lian said.
After the examination, Dr. Lian said again: "I will go back later and prescribe a few examination items. Let's check first to see how the situation is, and then I will decide on a chemotherapy plan."
"Hey, okay, then I'll trouble Doctor Lian." The uncle Xia Weiguo took the words and said.
After they left, Xia Zekai said, "Grandpa, please wait here while my eldest brother and I go downstairs to buy some food."
But no, it was noon before I knew it.
Coming down from upstairs, Xia Zekai and his cousin were walking and chatting about recent events.
After much consideration, my cousin Xia Yunfei finally got another car and found three drivers to run long distances with him.
There is no money to be made from short-distance driving. To put it bluntly, the two cars still have loans, the usual gas tolls, plus the salary expenses of three drivers, just running short-distance can not even make money.
"Brother, you guys are so competitive in this job." Xia Zekai complained.
But having said that, competition is fierce not only in the logistics and transportation industry, but also in every industry.
To borrow a phrase, survival of the fittest, that's what it is.
Xia Yunfei was very emotional. He said, "I'm okay. I can just work and make some money. Many people I know who drive can no longer work, so they sell their cars and find jobs in factories."
Not long after, the two brothers found a restaurant downstairs and asked the restaurant to cook a few dishes. They also specifically told the owner of the restaurant to use less salt and no chili.
Xia Zekai handed the boss one hundred yuan and paid the money.
Xia Yunfei also complained to him, saying that since he was the elder brother here, he should pay the money.
"Brother, who among the two of us is paying for it? You should hurry up and take it." Xia Zekai forcefully pushed back the money handed over by his eldest brother.
While waiting for the food, Xia Yunfei asked about the current situation of his uncle and brothers.
Xia Zekai didn't go into details, he just said a few words selectively.
However, neither the eldest nor the second brother knew about his huge loan to buy land. Among the family members, only his younger brother Xia Zejiang and his father Xia Weicheng knew about it.
There is such a thing.
With a loan of nearly 8 million yuan, the pressure is not ordinary.
"Brother, it's the end of the year soon. When we get back, let's take some time to get together." Xia Zekai made a suggestion.
Xia Yunfei immediately nodded in response and said, "It's freezing cold. Let's go find a place to have some hot pot. I'll treat you."
After the vegetables were cooked, the store asked them how many pairs of disposable chopsticks they wanted, and Xia Zekai just said: "Ten pairs!"
The store owner couldn't help but look at him twice. He didn't believe it, but in the end he counted ten pairs.
…
Xia Zekai and his cousin stayed in the hospital until about three o'clock in the afternoon and left before it got dark.
It took more than two hours to reach Qicheng, and it happened to be dark.
His grandfather had to undergo an examination first, and only after the report was issued could he decide on the next step. He had been resting in the hospital for the past two days, and they had nothing to do if they stayed.
The two brothers in two cars honked their horns a few times at the intersection of Zhoucheng Expressway and then parted ways.
Xia Yunfei got off the expressway here and went home directly.
Xia Zekai continued to drive for more than ten kilometers and got off the highway at the intersection of Qicheng North Expressway. By this time, the sky was starting to get dark and the street lights on the streets were gradually turning on.
When driving home, Luo Xiyun was still cooking in the kitchen, and Yatou and Tongtong were playing on the foam mat on the floor in the living room.
The two sisters each guarded a pile of toys and had a lot of fun.
When they heard the sound of the door opening and saw their father pushing the door open, they both quickly stood up from the pile of toys, put on their slippers and ran towards Xia Zekai.
Luo Xiyun, who opened the kitchen door, happened to see this scene, and her heart began to sour.
It is really useless to love them both. The hearts of these two girls have already gone astray.
"Zekai, hurry up and wash your hands, the food will be cooked soon," Luo Xiyun said.
While eating, Luo Xiyun asked about his grandfather's hospitalization and asked him how he was doing now.
Xia Zekai explained the matter again, and Luo Xiyun said: "Does that mean grandpa's disease can actually be cured?"
"How can it be so absolute?" Xia Zekai shook his head.
To put it bluntly, it should be called the question of how long one can live after treatment.
But there is no way to say this.
If cancer could be conquered and cured so easily, it wouldn't be called cancer.
