After returning to the room, Cheng Tianyuan had already brought hot water and took out her change of pajamas.
"Ling Ling, go take a shower quickly. It's cold outside, so it's hot to take a shower."
Xue Ling smiled in embarrassment: "My father and my mother... they are coming over."
Cheng Tianyuan was startled and asked, "Did something happen?"
"No." Xue Ling replied: "They are worried about my father-in-law's arm and want to come over to see him get a prosthetic limb. As you know, my dad's arm is what worries me the most. I heard that he can get a prosthetic limb.
My dad was so happy that he insisted on coming to see it to feel relieved."
Cheng Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The way you looked just now, I thought something was wrong. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also care about my dad. If they want to come, let them come. Then we will decide on the next door and we will all live together.
On the left are my parents, on the right are your parents - how nice!"
Xue Ling smiled softly and explained: "I'm not against them coming, but there's a lot of snow outside and the roads are blocked, so I'm afraid it won't be safe for them to come."
"Yes!" Cheng Tianyuan said hurriedly: "Call your father-in-law again and tell them not to come. When the weather gets warmer, we will go to the imperial capital to find them."
Xue Ling stopped and smiled bitterly: "No need to persuade, I can't persuade them, they are already packing their luggage. He said that the imperial capital is not far from the provincial capital and will be there soon."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said: "Why isn't it far? It takes three days to take the train! It's just that it's so cold today. I wonder if the train will be jammed?"
"Probably not." Xue Ling said: "The train runs on tracks."
Xue Ling muttered: "Forget it! If they want to come, just come! My dad said that he had to come, and he praised me for doing the right thing. He didn't know that there was such a good technology, otherwise he would have taken my dad there long ago
Got a prosthetic leg."
Cheng Tianyuan thought about it and said warmly: "Uncle Xue is a very honest person. If he knew, he would definitely do this."
Xue Ling nodded in agreement and explained: "I told them the address of the hospital, and it won't be difficult for them to find it. Then we all have to run back and forth to the hospital to stay energetic."
Cheng Tianyuan urged: "Go take a hot bath first and go to bed early."
"Okay!" Xue Ling agreed.
After a while, she wrapped herself in a quilt and translated.
Cheng Tianyuan finished washing their clothes, soaked his hands in warm water, and quickly came over to help copy.
His grades in junior high school and high school were very good, and his literary accomplishments were also good. He had been helping Xue Ling copy for a long time, slowly helping to polish one or two words, and occasionally making slight adjustments according to the context.
He polished it well and the context was clearer. She was completely relieved and gave him all the drafts for help.
Xue Ling took advantage of the break and said with a smile: "When I get the translation fee from now on, I should give you half of it."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at her and whispered: "I still owe you a lot of money!"
Xue Ling glanced at him ambiguously and said, "Don't you keep me warm with your sex every day?"
Cheng Tianyuan's ears turned slightly red and he whispered: "Write for a while, I can't wait to warm your bed."
The two of them played around for a long time before continuing to work on the translation manuscript.
…
Early the next morning, they went to the hospital.
They left early. Director Xue had just arrived at work. When he saw their family, he nodded slightly.
"I'll ask the nurse to call you to my office later. I have to take a closer look at your arm."
"Okay." Father Cheng nodded respectfully.
The nurse arranged for Cheng's father to take his blood pressure and weigh him, and then asked them to wait in the hospital bed.
Half an hour later, Director Xue called them to go and check.
Director Xue compared the photos of the bones, read several more inspection reports, and then put on gloves to check again.
"The bones in the arm are no longer connected, and only a few tendons and cortex are left to support them. You have also suffered a lot of pain over the years! During the operation, you have to cut it from this place, and then wait for the wound to heal gradually
, and then put on a prosthesis that suits you."
Director Xue tried his best to explain it to them in layman's terms and said: "I have a patient who has canceled the operation. I can arrange for you to have the operation tomorrow morning. Are there any questions?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "We will cooperate in whatever we do."
Director Xue smiled slightly and explained: "The weather has been cold recently, and there are not many patients. You came at the right time. Next month, I will go abroad with the dean to inspect and buy equipment with a delegation, and will not come back until the New Year."
Xue Ling secretly rejoiced and said with a smile: "That's because we are destined!"
"The little comrade has a sweet mouth and is very good at talking." Director Xue said.
Then, he looked at Cheng Tianyuan and said: "There are many specifications of prosthetic limbs now. Of course, the better the ones, the more expensive they are. After all, you get what you pay for. Good quality and cheap things are still rare."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Director Xue continued: "There are currently two imported specifications. One of them was just introduced in the first half of the year, but it is a bit expensive and has few patients. The other one is the one I want to introduce, and its price is still good.
It’s acceptable, about a little over a thousand.”
After hearing this, Xue Ling couldn't help but curiously asked: "The first one you mentioned is a bit expensive, what is its approximate price? What are its good functions?"
"It's about twice as long." Director Xue explained: "But it's more comfortable, fits better, and has better softness."
Father Cheng was startled when he heard this and asked: "Twice? How much is that? Is it more than three thousand?"
Director Xue nodded slightly and replied: "One is three thousand yuan. If it is a pair, it is six thousand."
Father Cheng stopped quickly and whispered: "It's too expensive..."
Director Xue explained with a smile: "It is indeed very expensive. Only one person has chosen it so far, and the specifications are quite complete. I still respect the patient's choice in choosing. After all, this is a huge expense, and the actual situation of the family must be taken into consideration."
.”
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "Doctor, if you add other things, how much will it cost? Three thousand?"
Director Xue replied: "More than 3,700."
"Then let's discuss it further," Xue Ling said.
Cheng's father was anxious and whispered: "Ling Ling, there is no need to discuss, just use the cheap one. In fact, it is not cheap, it is still very expensive!"
Xue Ling smiled and explained in a low voice: "Dad, I originally thought there was only one choice... But now there are better ones, let's choose the better one. After all, it is installed on the body. If it is better,
Wouldn’t it be better for you?”
"It's too expensive!" Father Cheng lowered his voice: "It's not easy for you to make money! I'm very happy that you have the heart to bring me a prosthetic limb. You can't spend all the money on me, it's too wasteful!"
Xue Ling shrugged and said: "As long as you work hard, money is not a problem. What do we make money for? To make this family better, for the family to live better, and then take care of other things. Spending it on you is exactly what we make money for.
Purpose, how can it be said to be a waste!"
"Haha..." Director Xue on the side smiled and looked at Xue Ling approvingly: "This little comrade looks young, confident and rigorous in thinking, and his thoughts are clear, not bad!"
He motioned to Cheng Tianyuan on the side and said: "Don't argue, just discuss it with your family. For me, the steps of the operation are the same, there is no difference."
