Late at night, outside the hospital operating room
The corridor was deserted, except for the three words "operating room" that were bright and dazzling.
Xue Ling leaned on Cheng Tianyuan's arm. The couple's expressions were extremely ugly, and their eyes were full of dull worry.
Cheng Tianfang leaned in Xue Heng's arms, the young couple looked sad, and each other's eyes were red.
On the other side, Cheng Muhai and Xue's father were asleep, covered with a quilt that Chen borrowed temporarily from the nurse station.
Xue Ling twisted his body and changed his posture.
"what time is it?"
Cheng Tianyuan came to his senses slightly and whispered: "It's past twelve o'clock."
The two looked at each other, the worry in their eyes getting stronger.
The corridor was so quiet that Xue Heng suddenly heard their conversation and couldn't help frowning and whispering: "It's been a few hours, why haven't you come out yet?"
Several people's expressions were very bad, and Cheng Tianfang even started to cry softly again.
Xue Heng sighed and patted her back.
"Don't worry, Mom will be fine. She's usually in good health, so nothing will happen to her."
Cheng Tianfang lay on his shoulder, crying softly.
"Mom...she also said she would help us take care of the child. Nothing can happen to her...I haven't taken her on a trip yet..."
Xue Heng nodded and murmured: "There will be a chance."
Xue Ling's eyes were sore across from him, and his heart was so heavy that he seemed to be in cramps.
The most painful thing in the world is separation between life and death, and the most fearful thing is the departure of a loved one.
Even if we are separated, we will meet one day, but if we die... we will never have the chance to meet again.
My mother-in-law's loving laughter and nagging words from the past came rushing out of my mind. Instantly, I felt hot and my tears could no longer stop falling.
She took a deep breath and rested her head on her husband's shoulder.
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes were also red, and he hugged her tightly without opening a word.
How long will this excruciating wait last?
The two old men didn't fall asleep at all. They were just too tired and didn't dare to face the torture of waiting, so they preferred to lie down while pretending to sleep.
They sit here, really unable to do anything except pray.
And the most painful thing is that there is nothing I can do.
After another hour, Xue Heng couldn't hold it in any longer and led Cheng Tianfang back and forth.
Xue Ling yawned and leaned on the chair tiredly.
Cheng Tianyuan walked away and poured a few glasses of hot water in.
The four of them drank water quietly, no one said anything, and they didn't know what to say or what to say at this moment. Their hearts were full of anxiety.
It wasn't until after two o'clock that the lights in the operating room finally went out!
Cheng Tianyuan was the first to notice and hurriedly patted his wife beside him.
"Ling...the operation is over!"
Xue Ling was startled, stood up, felt helpless and squeezed his hand, very nervous.
Cheng Tianyuan swallowed secretly and was also nervous.
Xue Heng hurriedly pulled Cheng Tianfang to stand up, trembling: "Okay... okay!"
Cheng Tianfang sobbed lowly and turned away, "Should we wake up Dad and the others?"
"No." Xue Heng whispered: "They must have fallen asleep."
After a while, the operating room opened.
Two or three doctors came out surrounded by each other, took off their masks, and looked tired.
Everyone rushed forward, no one dared to ask, and everyone stared at the doctor nervously.
The leading old doctor wiped his sweat and whispered tiredly: "The operation was successful... Now go into the observation room and wake up without any abnormal symptoms within three days. Just recover slowly."
Everyone cried with joy.
Xue Ling bowed slightly: "Thank you...thank you doctor!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook hands with him excitedly and said tremblingly: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your hard work!"
The doctors left one after another.
After a while, several nurses came out pushing the bed.
Everyone came forward, but unfortunately the nurse refused to let him get close, and then pushed the bed to the intensive care unit.
A nurse came out and shouted: "The patient cannot be near for the time being! Family members should go back and have a good rest first! If there is anything unusual about the patient, we will notify you immediately. Leave the contact number or leave one person here, and the rest should not be here.
Get together."
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and happily discussed who should stay.
Xue Ling disagreed: "Everyone has been tired for a long day, so we all went back to rest. We can't go in, and if anything happens, we won't be able to go in. Leave your phone number and go back to rest first. Mom's operation was successful.
, the next step is to take care of her in the hospital, and everyone still needs to be mentally prepared to deal with it. Let’s go back first, recuperate, and then come back to accompany mom.”
Cheng Tianyuan also felt that what Xue Ling said was reasonable, "Staying here won't help much. I'm just sitting outside. Go back to rest and sleep well, and then take turns to come over. When mom leaves the monitoring room, we will take turns taking care of her."
They are the eldest members of the family, and now that the old man has passed away, it is up to them to decide everything.
Xue Heng and Cheng Tianfang were meek and obedient.
So the four people woke up the two old men and helped them leave.
When I got home, the children all slept very well.
Mother Xue couldn't sleep at all, so she sat on the sofa and waited.
Seeing them opening the door and coming in, an excited person stood up and said tremblingly: "Okay? Is everything okay?"
Dad Xue smiled and said: "Okay... the operation was successful, just wait and see and get better."
Mother Xue cried with joy, and even choked: "I knew it! Sister Ying can't let us go... she can't let go."
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Mother Xue asked: "Do you want something to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
"No." Xue Ling yawned and whispered: "I'm really too sleepy. Let's go to bed first and eat tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Dad, Mom, you should go and rest quickly. A Fang and A Heng have also gone home to sleep."
"Okay! Everyone, please rest first!"
…
The next morning, when the children woke up, they found that their father and mother had gone home, and their grandfather and grandpa were also back.
Only grandma is not here!
Ranran was very worried and asked: "Grandma, why hasn't grandma come back yet?"
Mother Xue smiled lovingly: "She still needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days. The doctor said that when she gets better, she can go home."
Yangyang yawned and asked, "How many days will it take? I'm already missing grandma."
"I want grandma!" Xiaoxin shouted.
Xiao Chong rubbed his eyes and whispered: "I want grandma too."
Mother Xue's eyes turned red and she hugged them over.
"You brush your teeth and wash your face first, and change out of your pajamas. When dad and mom wake up, we'll go to the hospital to see grandma first."
"good!"
Something happened at home, and the children all became extremely well-behaved. The eldest took care of himself, then turned around to help his younger brothers and sisters.
Ranran also went to the kitchen to help clean up the dishes and take care of the brothers and sisters for breakfast.
After eating, the four of them went to the corridor outside to play chess and ride cars, not daring to make any noise.
Just then, the elevator door opened.
Zheng Sanyuan supported Zhu Achun, who looked haggard, followed by Zheng Datong, who looked sad and dull, and walked over step by step.
Ranran threw down the chess pieces and hurried forward and asked: "Uncle Zheng, aunt, have you found Brother Tietou? Where is he? When will he be back?"
Zhu Achun's eyes were red and he shook his head slightly.
Zheng Sanyuan sighed deeply and asked in a low voice: "Is your grandma okay? Are your parents back?"
Ranran replied: "I'm back, and I'm all sleeping. Grandma said that grandma's operation was successful, but it will take a while before she can go home."
After hearing this, Zheng Sanyuan smiled and said, "...That's good. Let's go back and rest first. In the afternoon, we have to go to the station control room to identify people."
Later, he helped Zhu Achun return home.
Zheng Datong lowered his head and followed behind with heavy steps.
