"Where are Da Ya and the others? Why are you back on your own?"
"Have you gone for a routine checkup?"
Chu Yao spoke first, and Chu Qiong added that she worked in a hospital after all, and she guessed the answer immediately.
"Well, Da Ya is here with me!"
"She knows where they are. Okay, you have something to do. I'll take them to check."
Chu Qiong stood up, and Tie Jun looked at Chu Yao and said, "Chu Yao, you go too, talk to Daya, and comfort her!"
"Okay, let's go, second sister!"
Chu Yao didn't think about anything and followed Chu Qiong out. Tie Jun sat beside the bed and Chu's father put away the checkers.
"Dajun, has mom's tumor spread?"
Chu's mother stopped Tie Jun's question with one sentence. Chu's father sighed and patted Tie Jun.
"We have known for a long time that your mother has been vomiting violently these days. We were afraid that you would be anxious, so we kept it secret from you."
After Chu's father finished speaking, he put the freshly brewed tea into Tie Jun's hands. The tea was very strong and the smell of Biluochun stimulated Tie Jun's brain.
Tie Jun took a sip of tea, and the sting in his heart eased slightly, and he looked at Chu's mother and smiled.
"Mom, you may be in trouble. Director Li said you need to undergo chemotherapy immediately."
"Haha, let's just have chemotherapy. Mom can handle it."
"But, I'm worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about. Mom has already made money these days since she came to Beijing. Mom knows her body well. Don't be afraid. You won't die."
Chu's mother was very open-minded, and Tie Jun did not dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his head to look at the tea leaves in the teacup, fearing that he would not be able to hold back tears.
"Dajun, you and Chu Yao are together. Mom has no regrets. Chu Yao has poor mental endurance. Don't say it is so serious. Do you understand?"
"I got it!"
Tie Jun nodded, feeling even more uncomfortable.
"I'm going to find Director Li to sign. Dajun, have a good time chatting with your mother!"
Chu's father stood up and walked out of the ward. Chu's mother took Tie Jun's hand and began to talk about Chu Yao's temper and habits, as if explaining the funeral arrangements.
After Xiaochuan's examination, he was also admitted to the hospital. Director Wang was very considerate and arranged for him to be placed next to Chu's mother's ward.
Tie Jun couldn't do anything, so he just circled around the three patients. Fortunately, Miao Miao was discharged from the hospital two days later.
After the preparations for chemotherapy were completed, Chu's mother began to receive chemotherapy. A week later, Tie Jun discovered that Chu's mother's skin color was getting darker and darker, and she would always secretly put her hands into her clothes to scratch her.
"Mom, are you scratching?"
"Well, I'm still nauseous and dizzy!"
"I'm going to call the doctor!"
Chu Yao ran out, and after a while, Director Li and Director Wang followed her into the ward.
"Director Li, Director Wang, my whole body is itchy. It's so uncomfortable."
Mother Chu's voice was weak and a little hoarse. Director Li pulled up Mother Chu's sleeves and saw scars and blisters on Mother Chu's arms.
Chu Yao was startled and secretly lifted up her mother's clothes. Her back was covered with blisters and scars leaking pus.
"Mom, you're like this, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Director Li and Director Wang also saw it and frowned at the same time.
"Haha, Mom was afraid that you might get angry in a hurry, so I just thought about it and passed it. Who would have thought that this thing would run away, so I just moved it to another place."
Tie Jun turned around and went out, unable to stand Chu's mother's strength.
"This chemotherapy is really not something people should endure. I can't eat, I can't sleep well, and I keep vomiting. It's so unbearable!"
Father Chu's voice came, and he was choked with sobs at the end.
"It doesn't matter, a bowl of white porridge and a basin of water for washing your feet will cure it."
"Ah? It's so simple, no need to take medicine?"
Chu's mother raised her head in shock, feeling regretful that she had suffered for several days in vain for not telling her earlier.
"Haha, I can still lie to you, Xiaotie, come with me to get the prescription!"
"Okay, here it is!"
Tie Jun shouted quickly from the outer room.
"The porridge is made with white rice, and the water for washing your feet must be your own, don't forget it!"
Director Li and Director Wang left, and Tie Jun quickly followed. When they arrived at the office, strangely enough, they each wrote a prescription and handed it to Tie Jun.
"You're curious, aren't you? Lao Wang is responsible for repairing the scars, and I'm responsible for removing the blisters. Don't be in a daze. These are all inherited from our ancestors. I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease!"
Tie Junxin, as the saying goes, folk remedies can cure serious illnesses. These two men in front of them are both old experts who have been practicing medicine for decades, so they are definitely not joking.
He was in a daze thinking, how can he turn these things into money? One treats skin diseases, and the other can repair scars. They are both commonly used medicines, and they will not worry about sales!
"I'm going to try it. If it works, can you sell me this recipe?"
"Sell? It's just nonsense, go ahead!"
Director Li waved his hand to chase Tie Jun away. Tie Jun laughed and walked out the door, thinking, don't worry, let's see the effect first.
Tie Jun was not in a hurry to grab the medicine and first came to Xiaochuan ward with the prescription. Chu Qiong stayed here these days, mainly listening to music.
"Second sister, please look at these two prescriptions for me. Are the medicinal materials above expensive?"
Tie Jun walked into the ward and handed the prescription to Chu Qiong before the three of them spoke. Chu Qiong took it and looked at it carefully.
"It's not expensive, they are all commonly used medicinal materials, and the total cost is less than 10 yuan!"
"It's so cheap. Second sister, please make a copy for me and put it away for me."
"It's useless. There is something wrong with the number of grams. It will definitely change next time."
Thinking that the two old men gave it to him so happily, they must not be afraid that he would take it away. Tie Jun said "oh" and went out to grab the medicine.
After grabbing the medicine, Tie Jun and Chu Yao went downstairs to the small hotel to make porridge. Miao Miao was discharged from the hospital. Tie Jun did not let grandma check out, leaving the room for Da Ya to stay.
The hotel aunt was there and saw Tie Jun and his wife coming. She thought they were going to do something bad, so she smiled and wanted to hide, but Tie Jun hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Auntie, can I borrow your casserole? I want to make some porridge."
"You two have a rest in the room. Auntie will call you when she's ready. Millet porridge is still..."
"Thank you, rice porridge. Don't add anything. Make it thicker. When it's half-cooked, you call me so I can add the Chinese medicine."
"Okay, let's have a rest!"
When the aunt entered the kitchen, Tie Jun was worried and wanted to sell the bill at the door, but Chu Yao pulled her into the house.
"Hey, aunt, you should shout soon!"
"Why are you shouting? I can't shout for twenty minutes. Come on, I miss you!"
Tie Jun clutched his pants tightly and was pushed to the kang by Chu Yao with a smile.
"Hey, the kang is still warm!"
"It's getting colder and colder. Auntie feels sorry for Daya. Kang must be walking her!"
More than twenty minutes later, Tie Jun came out of the house, and the aunt happened to walk out of the kitchen, saw Tie Jun, and waved.
"Hey, the pinch is really accurate!"
Tie Jun felt a little guilty and did not dare to answer the conversation. He followed his aunt into the kitchen with a silly smile.
"Hey, you can't put it in directly. You're not making a medicinal soup. Wait a minute."
Seeing Tie Jun pouring Chinese medicine into the casserole, the aunt quickly stopped Tie Jun and walked out of the kitchen.
After a while, the aunt came in with gauze and thread dumplings, and took the Chinese medicine package from Tie Jun.
Pour the Chinese medicine into the gauze, wrap it with thread and tie it tightly. The aunt shook her hand and the gauze bag jumped into the casserole.
