Considering that Xue Heng and others' moods had not yet recovered, Xue Ling did not visit them in the nursing home until a week later.
The sanatorium is spacious in area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a very beautiful environment.
The only disadvantage is that it is too far from the city. If you want to have any entertainment, you have to go to the city, and you have to commute on the road for an hour or two.
Lao Chen drove Xue Ling to the parking lot of the nursing home and got out of the car first and opened the door.
"Madam, I... I want to inquire about the admission conditions here.
I wonder how long you will stay?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled: "At least an hour or two.
It's okay, I'll call your mobile number when I'm leaving.
By the way, the information desk is over there, and there will be someone there during working hours."
"Thank you, madam."
Thank you very much, Lao Chen.
Xue Ling asked casually while twisting things: "Are you asking for the family?
Your elder?"
"I...my wife."
Lao Chen replied.
Xue Ling was slightly surprised and asked: "Your wife is about our age, right?
He seems younger than us."
"yes."
Lao Chen smiled bitterly and replied: "She is several years younger than me, but she has always been too fat and her blood pressure has always been too high.
A few months ago...she suffered a cerebral infarction and a stroke."
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?
Why didn't you say anything?"
Lao Chen smiled sheepishly and replied: "I took a few days off at that time.
You and your husband are so busy every day, I dare not let you bother.
Fortunately, my eldest son and daughter-in-law are very filial and have always taken care of them.
My two daughters also took turns helping me, which relieved a lot of my burden.
She was discharged from the hospital two weeks later. Her movements were very slow, but the impact on her daily life was not too great."
Xue Ling nodded lightly: "Following recovery and recuperation must also keep up, so you plan to send your sister-in-law here?"
"good."
Lao Chen explained: "She recovered very slowly at home, and several children discussed finding a suitable place to recuperate and do some auxiliary recovery treatments.
They consulted several companies, but none were very satisfied.
Although it's a bit far here, the environment is very good, and I thought... if it's not expensive, I'll send her here."
Xue Ling chuckled: "I'll tell Ah Heng and the others later and ask them to give you a 30% discount - the price for friends and relatives."
"real?
!”
Lao Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, madam! Thank you! Thank you!"
Xue Ling gave up and said: "There are professional nurses here, as well as beds and rooms for escorts. You can choose according to your family's financial conditions and actual situation.
If you need to ask for leave——" "No need."
Lao Chen explained: "My youngest daughter resigned a while ago and has not found a job yet.
She majored in nursing and knows how to take care of her mother.
She said that she can live with her mother for the time being, and her brother and sister will take turns coming over on the weekends so that she can rest for a day or two."
"That's very good."
Xue Ling said: "When your wife recovers and is able to take care of herself, your daughter can go find a job again.
With your daughter by your side, your wife's recovery will definitely be more optimistic."
Lao Chen hurriedly replied: "I-I'm a rough guy and don't know how to take care of others.
Fortunately, the children, unlike me, take good care of their mother.
My work will not be delayed, everyone will take turns, and the impact will not be too great."
Xue Ling couldn't help but praise: "So, at the critical moment, there is strength in numbers!"
"Yeah."
Lao Chen scratched his hair and whispered: "Especially the two daughters... are really caring and filial."
Xue Ling shook her phone and said with a smile: "I'll go upstairs first.
If you feel it is appropriate after consultation, please send me your sister-in-law’s name and admission time.
Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get a 30% discount.”
"Okay, okay."
Old Chen bowed slightly and walked towards the front desk.
Xue Ling took the elevator upstairs and went straight to the dean's office.
"Sister Ling!"
Xue Huan was waiting at the door, smiling and taking the heavy bag from Xue Ling's hand, "What are these?"
Xue Ling replied: "Some snacks you like to eat and some bird's nest."
"Too expensive."
Xue Huan shook his head.
Xue Ling whispered: "Xinzhi sends a large box to Xinyuan every once in a while, and we can't finish it.
Please, just think of it as helping me."
"Extremely happy."
Xue Huan laughed dumbly: "If there is such a great thing in the future, we will definitely be there at your call."
The two entered the house and sat on the sofa nearby.
Xue Huan smiled and asked: "Sister, can you make Pu'er tea?"
"No."
Xue Ling said: "I still want to find A Heng.
I called his cell phone earlier, but he didn't answer.
I’ll come to your side first.”
Xue Huan explained: “My brother is mostly doing acupuncture.
But it doesn't matter, it should be over in half an hour.
I will accompany you to find him later."
"good."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Where is A Fang?
She works in the finance department, right?"
Xue Huan nodded: "Yes, Sister Fang usually works in the Finance Department.
Her hypoglycemia is getting better, but... she was too sad the past few days and her mental state was very poor.
She just returned to work the day before yesterday."
Xue Ling sighed lowly: "Birth, old age, illness and death are all inevitable processes in life.
You are all in this business, so you can still be bearish when you should be bearish.
My aunt has had a successful career and a happy family throughout her life, and her two sons are very successful.
He took care of himself when he was old, with children and grandchildren around his knees, and finally passed away at the end of his life.
To be honest, she is considered a very lucky and happy person."
"yes."
Xue Huan smiled helplessly: "We all think this way... Only then can we get through this obstacle smoothly.
Another point is - as you get older, it's easier to see through things.
The only pity is that the descendants of my parents are not rich enough, my brother, the eldest son, is in a wheelchair, Sister Fang has cervical spondylosis again, there is a shortage of manpower, and the funeral is full of loopholes."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Just now I was lamenting to the driver downstairs that there is strength in numbers. Once you get older and your health fails, your children can help each other a little. They will not be under great pressure, and the elderly can also be properly taken care of."
"Having children also requires the fate of children."
Xue Huan laughed: "When I was young, I was busy working to make money and fight for my future, and I was exhausted even taking care of a child.
When we had our second child, we were not very willing at first.
Soon we are all middle-aged and old, and when we need ‘more people, more strength’, we find that there are few people, but there is nothing we can do, and there is no way to save the day.”
Xue Ling sighed: "There are so many helpless things in life!"
Xue Huan laughed and said: "Sister, your helplessness and regret are definitely on the lower side compared to your peers."
"good."
Xue Ling squinted his eyes and asked, "What about you?
Do you think you have any regrets so far?"
Xue Huan thought for a while and replied: "Maybe... it's the child's problem.
When the children were young, I spent too little time with them and lacked some communication.
Now that they have grown up one by one, they have missed the best opportunity to communicate."
"What about A Heng?"
Xue Ling asked: "What is his biggest regret?
You feel?"
Xue Huan smiled sheepishly: "Maybe it's a marriage problem."
