Chapter one hundred and sixty-six, the old lady's self-contamination
Tongluo Avenue, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Affiliated Hospital, Orthopedic Clinic.
In the outpatient clinic, the old lady was treated by an old man who was over fifty years old, with gray hair, but a ruddy complexion and high energy.
At this time, the old man was rolling up the old lady's trousers. He saw that the old lady's knees were slightly red and swollen. He frowned and said,
"Old man, will you live a long life this year?"
The old lady sat on the stool and said with concern,
"I'm eighty-eight this year. What's wrong? There's nothing wrong with my legs, right?"
The old gentleman nodded and said,
"Old man, is your leg a disease caused when you were young?"
The old lady thought for a while and said,
"Yes, back then I was a little girl working as a maid for a rich family. Because I accidentally soiled a concubine's cheongsam, it was freezing and snowy, so I was punished to kneel outside the door for a whole night. Since then,
From now on, my knees won’t be very flexible.”
Hearing this, the old gentleman muttered,
"Old man, your legs are caused by rheumatic arthritis. If you had come earlier when you were young, you could have been cured. But you are old now and your blood is not flowing smoothly.
I can only prescribe you some ointment to activate your muscles and bones to relieve your pain."
Su Cheng on the side heard the old gentleman's words and said anxiously,
"Doctor, is there really no way to cure it?"
The old gentleman shook his head and said,
"Your grandma's knee is a chronic disease left in her early years. It was meant to be kept warm and cured. Now that she's getting older, it's basically impossible to cure it."
When the old lady heard that her old cold leg couldn't be cured, she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she looked at Su Cheng and complained,
"You little monkey, I told you that my leg had been seen before. If it could have been cured, it would have been cured long ago. Why are you spending this unjust money now?"
Su Cheng comforted him after hearing this,
"Grandma, don't worry about the money. Your knees will be stiff, red and swollen this winter, and you can't even walk. Even if it can't be cured, at least it won't make you suffer more!"
He Yuyu stood behind the old lady, pinched her shoulders, and echoed in time,
"Grandma, Brother Su Cheng is right, please don't worry about this little money."
When the old lady saw this, she said happily,
"Okay, you two, don't act like a married woman and a married woman in front of me, grandma!"
At this time, the old gentleman had already finished the examination, sat back at his desk, picked up a brush and wrote down the prescription on the paper, then handed it to Su Cheng and said,
"This is the prescription. You can go to the pharmacy later and pay the money and get the medicine directly. The old man has weak bones. You and your wife should pay attention to it and don't let the old lady get cold. Especially the knees should be kept warm.
For protection, if possible, you can give the old lady hot water to apply on her knees every day and unblock her meridians. If the old lady is in severe pain, you can give her a painkiller, do you understand?"
Su Cheng took the prescription and looked at it. Except for the painkillers, the others were all for external application. After asking about the usage and precautions of these medicines, he carried the old lady out of the department and went directly to the pharmacy to pay.
Get medicine.
When passing by the corridor of the hospital, the old lady on her back suddenly asked,
"Chengzi, is your Grandma Liu hospitalized here?"
Su Cheng nodded and said,
"Yes what's the matter?"
The old lady thought for a while and said,
"Please help me find out which ward she lives in? Grandma wants to see her!"
"Grandma, Grandma Liu lives in Ward No. 618!"
Su Cheng had visited Grandma Liu's family before and knew where her ward was. After thinking for a while, she continued,
"I'll take you there first, but Grandma Liu's situation is not ideal. You'll see her when the time comes, but don't think too much about it, you know?"
When the old lady heard Su Cheng's words, she knew that her old sister might not be able to survive the winter. She suddenly felt sad in her heart and sighed,
"I know, grandma, I have never experienced any big storms. When this person will come and when he will leave, his destiny is determined. Grandma has already seen through it!"
When Su Cheng saw this, he didn't say anything more and walked toward the hospital area with the old lady on his back.
He Yuyu on the side thought for a while and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, give me the list and I'll go get the medicine, so as not to have to run in both directions again."
Su Cheng thought this was also the case. He freed up a hand to take out the list from his pocket and handed it to He Yuyu and asked,
"Yu Yu, do you have enough money on you?"
He Yuyu nodded, handed the crutch in his hand to Su Cheng and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, take this crutch. Grandma needs to use it when she comes down to walk occasionally."
Seeing this, the old lady lying on Su Cheng's back reached out to take the crutches and said happily,
"Just give this crutch to grandma and I'll hold it."
He Yuyu nodded, then turned and walked towards the hospital pharmacy.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, carried the old lady on his back and walked toward the inpatient area. When he arrived at the door of Grandma Liu's ward, Su Cheng put the old lady down from his back and knocked on the door of the ward.
In the ward, Grandma Liu was lying on a white hospital bed, with a hanging bottle hanging on the bedside. Grandma Liu's eyes were closed, her face was sallow, and she looked like she was about to die.
Beside the hospital bed, Liu Ergen's daughter-in-law stayed alone beside Grandma Liu's family, frowning and looking sad. When she heard the knock on the door of the ward, she thought it was the doctor on duty who came to inquire about her mother-in-law's physical condition, and immediately left the room.
He stood up on the stool and opened the door.
"Old lady, Chengzi, why are you here?"
Ergen's wife opened the door and was a little surprised to see the two people at the door. She immediately supported the old lady and said,
"Old lady, come here, I'll help you sit inside."
The old lady took his daughter-in-law's hand, glanced at Grandma Liu's body lying on the hospital bed, and said with concern,
"From the Ergen family, how is your mother-in-law doing now?"
Ergen's wife took the old lady to sit beside the hospital bed and said with a tired look,
"My mother-in-law is now drowsy except for occasionally waking up suddenly for a short while. The hospital can't find anything wrong with her. She just thinks that she is old and should be happy."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died. She immediately stepped forward and reached out to hold Grandma Liu's hand and said,
"Sister, can you hear me? I am your old sister!"
When Grandma Liu heard what the old lady said, she opened her eyes slightly and said weakly,
"Old sister, you came to see me too!"
The old lady held Grandma Liu's hand tightly and said tremblingly,
"Yes, I'm here to see you! How do you feel about your body now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Grandma Liu said weakly,
"Old sister, I'm afraid I'm going to die. I want to leave, but Ergen and the others are unwilling and insist on letting me live here to help me breathe!"
Hearing this, the old lady comforted her and said,
"That's because your children are filial to you and want to cheer you up! I'm several years older than you, and I'm still strong now. Trust me, you can get through it too!"
Grandma Liu looked at the old lady with her eyes covered, showed a wry smile and said,
"Old sister, please stop coaxing me. I still don't know my own body! Old sister, can I ask you something?"
The old lady nodded and said,
"What are you talking about?"
"Please help me persuade Ergen and the others to bring me back to the courtyard."
Grandma Liu held the old lady's hand tightly, her face turned pale, and she said in a silky voice,
"I really don't expect to live for a few more days, but they don't want to help me. They have to spend this wasteful money to make me feel miserable. Our family is already devastated. If they go through such trouble, they will have to pay for it in the future."
But how to live?"
Hearing what Grandma Liu said, how could the old lady agree? She comforted her again,
"Old sister, just focus on taking good care of yourself and don't worry about money. If Ergen and the others are in trouble, not only me but also the whole courtyard will be there to help."
Su Cheng on the side felt a little uncomfortable when he heard what Grandma Liu said. When the old lady finished speaking, he quickly comforted her,
"That's right, Grandma Liu, just listen to my grandma. Taking good care of your health is better than anything else. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. You are the backbone of Uncle Er Gen's family. You have to get well soon."
When his daughter-in-law saw this, she also dipped a cotton swab in some water and went forward to moisten Grandma Liu's chapped lips. She also advised her,
"Mom, if we advise you not to listen, you must listen to the old lady!"
Grandma Liu's eyes were covered. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength after talking to the old lady for such a while. She looked groggy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
When Su Cheng saw this, he quickly comforted him and said,
"Grandma Liu, if you are tired, stop talking. We are all here to help you."
When Grandma Liu heard Su Cheng's words, she no longer thought about talking, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep again.
After Grandma Liu fell asleep, Su Cheng glanced at the old lady who was silently wiping her tears aside and said softly,
"Grandma, Grandma Liu will get better. Don't think too much. It's not worth it if you hurt your mind."
"Chengzi, grandma knows everything you said, but I just can't help it."
The old lady took the crutch beside her with a sad look and stood up, looked at Su Cheng and said,
"Your Grandma Liu is sleeping, so let's not disturb her rest here."
Su Cheng nodded, supported the old lady and walked out the door.
When Ergen's wife saw this, she also hurried forward to see the old lady out.
When a few people walked outside the door, the old lady glanced at Ergen and his wife and said,
"Ergen's family, why haven't you seen Ergen and the others?"
Ergen's wife heard this and explained,
"Ergen went to work for someone. Xingmin stayed here all night last night. I asked him to go back and catch up on his sleep! As for my daughter-in-law, she has an unweaned baby to take care of at home, so don't
It’s bad luck for him to come to the hospital!”
Su Cheng heard this and asked with concern,
"Aunt Ergen and Uncle Ergen do all the physical work of a blacksmith in the factory. If he doesn't take a good rest this weekend and goes to do small jobs for others, will his body be able to bear it?"
Aunt Ergen glanced at Su Cheng and said helplessly,
"Chengzi, you have also seen my mother-in-law's situation. Every day we open the door, we have to spend money. Although there are donations from everyone in the courtyard, we can only make a little bit by ourselves. We can't always point to your help. After all, whose money is it?
It wasn’t brought by the strong wind.”
Su Cheng nodded and said,
"Aunt Ergen, don't put too much burden on your heart. Uncle Ergen, you'd better persuade him not to work so hard. After all, your body is the most important thing. It's not worth it to ruin your body."
Seeing this, the old lady on the side also glanced at Su Cheng and asked,
"Seiko, how much money did you bring with you today?"
When Su Cheng heard this, he probably guessed what the old lady was going to do, so he immediately took out all the money he had on him, including two large solidarity bills and some loose money, totaling twenty-four and five yuan. Su Cheng thought for a while
He handed the two big stickers to the old lady and said,
"Grandma, I brought more than twenty with me when I went out today. Do you think I have enough for you? We have to go to the vegetable market to buy some things for the rest later."
The old lady took the money from Su Cheng's hand, turned around and handed it to Aunt Ergen and said,
"Come on, Ergen's family, keep this money. If it's not enough, I'll ask everyone in the courtyard to come up with a solution later!"
Ergen's wife saw this and hurriedly pushed the money back and said,
"Old lady, what are you doing? Everyone in the hospital just donated more than 70 yuan to our family a while ago. After deducting my mother-in-law's expenses in the hospital, there is still something left. Besides, my mother-in-law just donated
When he was sent to the hospital, Chengzi secretly gave Xingmin ten yuan. So I really can't accept any more money!"
When the old lady heard this, she immediately made a face and said dissatisfied,
"It's from the Ergen family. What Chengzi gave me is what Chengzi gave me. Your mother-in-law and I have been friends for many years. This money is my heartfelt gift, madam. If you don't accept it, madam, I will be angry!"
"
When Ergen's wife saw the old lady speaking so harshly, her eyes immediately turned red and she didn't push the money back. She looked at the old lady with a grateful face and said,
"Old lady, for the kindness you and Chengzi have shown to our family, we will repay you even if we work like cows or horses in the future."
As he said this, his wife was about to kneel down towards the old lady. Su Cheng, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said sternly,
"Aunt Ergen, it's enough for you to have this intention. You really don't have to do this!"
The old lady on the side also stepped forward and held his wife's hands, and said happily,
"Ergen's family, don't feel any burden. This money is not given to you for free. When your family's life gets better in the future, you will still have to pay it back!"
At this moment, Yu Yu came over to get medicine. In addition to a bag of medicine, she also had a bag of cakes and a small can of malted milk.
It turned out that Yuyu took advantage of the time to get the medicine and went to the supply and marketing cooperative near the hospital to buy some soft pastries. He happened to see that there was a scarce can of malted milk for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative. The thoughtful He Yuyu considered that Liu's grandma
Due to my physical condition, I bought another small can of malted milk.
When He Yuyu walked in, he immediately raised the malted milk in his hand and said proudly,
"Grandma, Aunt Ergen, Brother Su Cheng, do you see what I bought?"
Aunt Ergen on the side saw He Yuyu's familiar appearance and looked at the old lady doubtfully and said,
"Old lady, the rain also came with you?"
The old lady nodded and said cheerfully,
"Yes, Yu Yu is now the daughter-in-law of my old Su family, so we came here together."
Aunt Ergen glanced at Yuyu and then at the old lady. After thinking about it for a while, she said bluntly,
"Old lady, don't blame me for talking too much. Didn't Yuyu say that he was engaged to someone last month? It's not nice to hear this suddenly come through your door. Moreover, Chengzi is the leader of the factory, so he doesn't know.
Will it have any impact?"
The old lady knew that sooner or later she would not be able to hide this matter, so she simply slandered herself.
"I like this daughter Yuyu, so I became a bad person and let people disturb her marriage. Even if the news spreads, it is my problem, madam. If anyone dares to speak ill of Chengzi and Yuyu, madam, I will be the first one not to say anything bad.
