After Xue Ling had eaten, she took advantage of her lunch break and hurried to the infirmary downstairs in the rear dormitory.
She greeted the doctor and asked, "Is the employee who injured his back okay?"
“Mr.
"Ouch!" Xiao Jiaxue, lying on the hospital bed, wailed: "Mr. Xue... I'm here! I'm here!"
Xue Ling came forward funny and asked: "How come you can get hurt even when you bend over?"
"I can't help it, I'm old." Xiao Jiaxue stretched out her chubby palm and asked, "Is there anything delicious? I've been lying down for a while, and I seem to be hungry again."
Xue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "You didn't have lunch at noon?"
"Yes!" The doctor on the side quickly explained: "The nurse gave her some food and she ate all of it."
Xiao Jiaxue muttered in frustration: "It's just such a small amount of food, it's not even enough to give me a toothpaste!"
Xue Ling smiled and gave the doctor instructions: "Please go to the canteen and see if there is any fried or braised meat available. She eats a lot and can't get enough of the food."
The doctor suppressed a smile, nodded and walked out.
Xiao Jiaxue let out a long sigh and whispered: "I find that I am getting worse and worse now. I originally thought that I would come to your place part-time as a workout, but I could move more. I am getting hungrier and eating more. I took a shower last night
Then I went to weigh myself and found that not only had I not lost weight recently, but I had gained more than seven kilograms."
Xue Ling smiled weakly: "Can't you bear it for a while? To lose weight, you need to exercise and control your food intake."
"But I can't help but eat!" Xiao Jiaxue said bitterly: "I get hungry when I don't eat enough. When I'm hungry, my hands and feet are weak, and I feel like I'm about to collapse."
Xue Ling thought for a while and reminded: "Don't eat too much meat, replace meat with fruits and vegetables. Eat smaller meals more frequently, replace all snacks with fruits, and eat fruits when you are hungry."
"Fruits are expensive in winter!" Xiao Jiaxue whispered distressedly: "In winter, frozen fruits are imported or from the south, and they are always expensive to eat. You know the more I eat, the more expensive they are! I ate an imported small orange the day before yesterday.
It’s more expensive than a big chicken drumstick! In comparison, I’d rather eat chicken drumsticks.”
Xue Ling shrugged: "So, you haven't been able to lose weight."
Xiao Jiaxue: "..."
Then, she cried pitifully: "Ling Ling, what can I do? I'm desperate too! I can't control my mouth and stomach, what else can I do?"
"The mouth is your own, and the belly is also your own." Xue Ling asked funnyly: "You can't even control yourself. Is it possible that others can help you?"
Xiao Jiaxue rolled her eyes and sighed.
"My husband went to the hospital for a checkup the day before yesterday, and the hospital sent a report yesterday. He is too fat, and his blood pressure and blood lipids are too high. I don't need to check, and I feel like I am high in everything."
Xue Ling sternly whispered: "If you don't control yourself well, it will be too late to regret later. You are only in your forties now. If you remain like this in your fifties, the consequences may be disastrous. My husband's godbrother Ahu,
He is only in his fifties. He used to have a strong body, exercise a lot, and do a lot of moving work every day. In the past ten years, his life has become better and he has become more leisurely. He has no time to drink, eat meat and stay up late.
Moderation. After staying up late and drinking a few days ago, I had a headache all the time. Fortunately, my husband reminded him to go to the hospital, otherwise the doctor said he would most likely burst a blood vessel in his brain."
"Explosion?" Xiao Jiaxue asked timidly: "Then...is it cerebral hemorrhage?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "If it's minor, you can still survive the operation. If it's excessive bleeding, it's hopeless. The doctor said he was lucky enough to survive. But he has a serious case of high blood pressure. The doctor said
From then on, he has to take medicine every day to control his three highs."
Xiao Jiaxue was frightened after hearing this and asked: "Really?"
"What do you think?" Xue Ling glared at her angrily and asked, "Is this something that can be joked about? Ahu has known us for twenty or thirty years, and he is my husband's godbrother. Can I use him to make arrangements? Ah?"
"
Xiao Jiaxue lowered her head and whispered: "No, it seems I really need to lose weight."
"If you continue to be unable to control yourself and seize this opportunity." Xue Ling whispered, "Maybe there will be no chance in the future."
Xiao Jiaxue laughed bitterly and said: "Okay, okay! I'm scared to death, can't you spare me?"
"It's not that I can't spare you." Xue Ling sighed: "It's that you can't spare yourself. When a person reaches forty, his body is really not as big as before. When he was in his teens or twenties, he was as strong as an ox. 23
Ten is also the peak state. You can fight and endure. Even if you are busy for several days and stay up for two or three nights, you can still strive to be at the forefront. I accidentally wore one less sweater the night before and immediately caught a cold. Today
It’s different from the past.”
"Alas..." Xiao Jiaxue's eyes flashed slightly and she whispered: "We are all in our forties, but your eldest son is twenty-one or twelve years old... but I don't even have a child. Even if you get old in the future, at least you will still be alive.
I have children to rely on. I... whenever I think about it now, I am particularly afraid of growing old."
Xue Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Has your husband nodded to the adoption of a child?"
"He said he was thinking about it." Xiao Jiaxue sighed and explained: "He used to be a DINKist. If he hadn't married me and lived with us for so many years, he might have insisted on being a DINKist. I can tell you what, plus my parents and
Relatives kept brainwashing and persuading him, and he finally relented. In their country, every elderly person can enjoy the country's high welfare pension, so he has nothing to worry about. If he is drunk today, he will be able to live his life anyway.
Go on. Our traditional thinking is to raise children to provide for old age. It is really different from him!"
"Yeah." Xue Ling said warmly: "I'd like to give you some more advice and apply as soon as possible. You and your husband both have serious jobs and have no other children. It shouldn't be difficult to adopt a child."
"If it takes a few more years, I probably won't be able to take care of my children." Xiao Jiaxue patted her fleshy thighs and said, "Just the flesh on my body is enough for me to bear!"
At this time, the doctor came back and explained apologetically: "Mr. Xue, lunch time has passed for more than half an hour, and the leftovers in the canteen have been cleared away by the chefs."
When Xiao Jiaxue heard this, she immediately frowned.
Xue Ling thought for a while, then called Secretary Chen and asked her to bring some red apples from the office.
After a while, Secretary Chen hurriedly came holding four apples.
Xue Ling peeled it and gave it to Xiao Jiaxue to eat.
"Don't move around. I'll ask the driver to take you home later. Don't come over these days. Just lie down and sleep at home. By the way, isn't there any work at the publishing house?"
"Not busy." Xiao Jiaxue explained: "Every year, college students are assigned to come down. The manpower is too abundant. Young people have nothing to do, let alone us middle-aged and elderly people. Just order those books, sort out the orders, and send them to the printers.
Just go to the company. Now that we have computer software to help, it’s easier. Now we take turns going to work, but when I go to work, I either watch TV or watch stocks on the computer, or make a living by knitting. There’s not much work to do at all.”
"Sooner or later I will get sick." Xue Ling smiled: "There is no survival of the fittest in the work unit system, and there is no competition. If you use money to support a bunch of idle people without working, sooner or later it will be slowly eliminated. Even if it doesn't exist now, it must exist in the future."
"Just don't take it on me." Xiao Jiaxue chuckled and said, "I'm waiting for my employer to provide me with retirement benefits!"
Xue Ling stood up and said with a smile: "I still have to go to work. I'll ask the driver to take you home later."
"Okay, you're busy, go ahead." Xiao Jiaxue waved her big fat hand.
