118. Angels descended on earth

At night, Shandan lay on the hospital bed and didn't sleep for a long time, she thought about it a lot. Thinking about the bits and pieces of my journey, it is really fate to be lucky enough to meet Gu Haiping when he graduated and left school without passing by.

She remembered every day they had gone, they were all children who grew up in poor families, and Shandan's understanding and relocation of Gu Haiping came from the heart.

It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and Shandan has been very considerate of her parents' difficulties since she was a child, and she can also understand Gu Haiping's practices and intentions.

I remember that it was a sunny summer day: Gu Haiping bought a few packets of fermented yogurt, five cents a pack, because the weather was hot, and the bag swelled up the next day, and Shandan said that it had deteriorated and could not be eaten. But Gu Haiping was reluctant to throw it away, and ate the remaining three bags by himself.

In the evening, Gu Haiping's stomach began to distangle and was very uncomfortable. Shandan asked him to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but Gu Haiping insisted on not going, he said: "It's okay, I'll go run two laps, and it will be fine in a while." Looking at Gu Haiping running with his stomach covered, Shandan was only distressed. Think about it, what is one or two yuan for a rich person? But Gu Haiping was reluctant to waste it. He was also reluctant to go to the hospital to spend another medical bill.

Gu Haiping's thrifty Shandan can be fully understood and respected, people who have not gone through the poor days cannot understand the complex of the poor, they have to care and be frugal for very little money. Even if one day they are prosperous, they will not squander extravagance, they know that wealth is not easy to come by.

But Gu Haiping takes care of Shandan and is never stingy in spending money, he will take the money he usually saves to Shandan flowers, and he will be happy and satisfied.

Shandan is also frugal, she never asks for anything, she wants to know and cherish him to spend her life together, their inner desires and ideals are far beyond reality, material things.

For Shandan's open-mindedness in major events such as marriage and childbirth, a friend once taught her: "Our efforts can be reciprocated, but we can't tolerate others' unkindness!"

But Shandan thought that everything she did was for Gu Haiping, as for his family, she tried not to worry about it, Gu Haiping would suffer a lot if she was caught in the middle, she believed that Gu Haiping could understand her thoughts and intentions.

In a daze, she fell asleep and dreamed of her deceased teacher, in which she always confirmed over and over again: he was not dead, just a rumor from everyone. Every time I wake up, I will be wet with tears, and such a good person will go at a young age.

This world is like this, there is never fairness at all, and impermanence happens from time to time, so the Buddha said: one qiē impermanence. Joy is impermanent, and pain is impermanent.

It was the first winter vacation of his freshman year when he went home from the winter break after Shandan went to college. She also thought about going to the teacher to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year, and then told him that her achievements today were inseparable from his encouragement and care back then.

It was the days of junior high school, the cold wind was howling in the icy and snowy Saibei, Shandan was studying in the township middle school dozens of miles away from home, the dormitory was so cold that it couldn't be warmed all night, and every day she ate steamed buns that were frozen into ice, and the bullying of her classmates, how many times did she want to give up her studies and no longer suffer, curled up on her hot kang with her mother, eating hot meals.

Teacher Liu Pengcheng, the teacher who taught her geometry, encouraged her to persevere again and again. He said that she would definitely have a good future, said that she was smart and capable, and how many times did he paint a picture of what the future university would look like for her.

It is because of Mr. Liu's care in the cold world that she gritted her teeth again and again to endure hunger, cold and bullying, looking forward to that very distant future. She tried her best to flesh out her college appearance with her poor imagination. With this belief, she finally survived junior high school and was the first to be admitted to the town's high school. At that time, Mr. Liu had been transferred to the junior high school in the town to teach, and when she heard that Shandan did not go to the key point, she was busy dredged up the relationship and helped her transfer to a key high school when she finished a semester of high school in Shandan.

Although the tuition fee is a high-priced student, the school has a provision that the top three students in the grade can be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, in order to repay Mr. Liu's love and save high-priced tuition and miscellaneous fees, Shandan's high school did not fall behind the top three in the grade in every exam.

Just when Shandan was studying hard and immersed in the joy of learning, he heard that Mr. Liu was sick, some people said it was mental illness, some people said it was neurasthenia, Shandan hurriedly bought a can to visit the teacher, and saw that the teacher was talking and laughing like the same, and the same health and well, Shandan Fang was relieved and devoted himself to learning again.

At the end of the college entrance examination, Shandan took the volunteer form to Mr. Liu for help, and remembered that the teacher's condition was not very good at that time.

The teacher said that he was going on a business trip, and he was the only one at home. A man is looking for things everywhere, under the cupboard, under the bed, in the corners of the corner.

Shandan asked the teacher what he was looking for, and the teacher said that he was looking for an ID card, and Shandan also thought: How could the ID card go under the bed and under the cabinet? Shouldn't it be in a place like a bookcase or desk? But she didn't think much about it, and when she saw that the teacher was busy, she said goodbye to the teacher and went back to school with her classmates.

Later, because it was the autumn harvest season when she reported to university, Shandan went to university without saying hello to the teacher, and she hoped that she could go back to report to the teacher what she had seen and heard and her own thinking and learning after the first half of the year.

But this time it became their farewell, when she and her classmates walked out of the teacher's house, the teacher was still squatting under the cabinet with his head down, looking for something, but it was not like the usual way to send her out, but the child's Shandan didn't think much and didn't realize it, in fact, the teacher's mind was already chaotic at that time.

Shandan's tears continued to drip in the dark night in his mother's words! Without the love and encouragement of her teacher, she would not be where she is today, and now she wants to repay him and tell him that he is proud and happy for her, but he is gone!

Mother said:

Mr. Liu's spirit had a problem a few years ago, it is a family inheritance, and he has a seizure in his thirties, but there are also people who do not have a seizure, as long as they are not stimulated, they can live and work quietly and live a life in peace, but the daughter-in-law that Mr. Liu is looking for is a woman with no culture but a good family, so that the life of the two has been stumbling, three days of a big quarrel and two days of a small quarrel, and the child is five or six years old can not live quietly.

In recent years, Mr. Liu often has auditory hallucinations, hearing people talking to him, and the work of being transferred to the town's junior high school is not very satisfying, and the family is not at peace, so his condition continues to worsen, and the family does not pay much attention to it.

Once, Mr. Liu's mother and sister went to Mr. Liu's house, and the daughter-in-law and Mr. Liu had a conflict and did not cook for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Ran away from home by himself with his own things and money.

The family searched everywhere but could not find it, and when a few months passed, a shepherd found the body of Mr. Liu, who had gone there, in a ravine in Daqingshan, which had been changed beyond recognition. The family recognized Mr. Liu with a unique mouthful of teeth.

Shandan listened to his mother's story, and couldn't stop crying! In her young heart, she kept asking God: Why? Why? Why did such a good person end up like this?

Half-asleep, it was dawn.

Shandan got up early, she wanted to go out for a walk, and she slept with terrible back pain.

Early in the morning, the doctor made rounds, but told Shandan not to go out and wait for the operation to prepare the skin.

Gu Haiping had breakfast and came to the inpatient department to sign and wait for the operation.

The hospital suddenly received a notice from the power company: there will be a power outage to repair the line at 10:00~12:00.

It is said that there is a situation on a nearby main road, so it should be repaired in time.

The doctor had to inform Shandan that the operation would be postponed and that it could not be carried out the next day.

But Shandan felt some contractions, could it be that he was going to give birth?

Then he asked Gu Haiping to find the attending physician to check, and the doctor saw that the head had been raised into the pelvis, and the cervix had been opened one centimeter, and if the operation was not performed in time, dystocia would occur and could not be saved.

But the time was too late, there was only one hour left, plus the preoperative preparation and anesthesia time, leaving the doctor with only ten to twenty minutes for the operation.

However, if you do not have surgery, you will never be able to resist the next day's operation.

The director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology went to Gu Haiping to explain the situation, and everyone discussed and decided to operate immediately, try to speed up all the steps, and strive to complete the operation before the power outage.

As a result, Shandan was pushed into the operation preparation room to prepare the skin and clean.

The doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologists who participated in the operation rushed into the operating room as quickly as possible to wash their hands, disinfect, and dress neatly, and waited for Shandan to be pushed into the operating room.

Shandan also participated in the same operation, which took at least one and a half hours or two hours, but it had come to this point, so he had to actively cooperate with the doctor to complete the steps before the power outage.

The anesthesiologist first performs local anesthesia on the skin of the lumbar spine and under the skin, and when the local skin loses pain, the lumbar puncture is accurately positioned, and the body should be arched as much as possible during the lumbar puncture, so that the needle can be inserted into the spinal cord cavity, that is, spinal anesthesia, as long as the pain is lost in the abdomen, but the patient's consciousness will remain awake.

Shandan tried her best to cooperate with the anesthesiologist's movements, at first she was not very sensitive to anesthetics, and most people lost their sense of pain in a few minutes, but after ten minutes, Shandan could still feel the pain of the anesthesiologist pricking the skin with the tip of a needle.

There was no way, it was too late to see that the surgeon decided to give Shandan a sedative intravenously to let Shandan fall into a deep sleep, and then start the operation.

Shandan fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the actions they made.

Suddenly, she heard a loud baby cry, so loud and full of life!

She subconsciously opened her eyes, but the scenery of white flowers in front of her was spinning rapidly, her eyes were not focused, and everything was hazy and blurry.

But her consciousness returned, and she struggled to move, and heard the nurse sitting next to her head doing ECG monitoring softly say, "Don't move, the operation is not complete yet." The child has been taken out. What a healthy daughter!"

Shandan closed her eyes, and a diffuse orange-red appeared in front of her eyes, slowly spreading, and she felt the angel calling, and her body fluttered up lightly, flying towards the warm orange-red, and suddenly another loud baby cry came, cutting through the orange-red, and the sky became pure blue—so clean, so holy! She seemed to be in the middle of a sea, and she felt that her mind was gradually clearing.

She dimly realized: Child, my child, my child is born, I want to wake up soon to see my child, he needs my love! He can't live without me!

She seemed to stop her flight and wanted to get back to her child, so she tried to open her eyes again.

It's just that the speed of rotation slowed down, she tried to freeze the scene in front of her, opened her eyes wide, the mask on her mouth and nose stuck on the bridge of her nose, she felt very uncomfortable, she wanted to take it off, but before she could pick up her weak arm, the gentle voice next to her head sounded again: "It's okay right now, you hold on for a while, you can't move yet." ”

Slowly, she saw clearly the huge shadowless lamp in front of her and the ECG monitor next to her, as well as the doctors and nurses who were still operating with their heads down, and became conscious.

She asked, "How is the child, daughter, bleeding a lot?"

"Okay! The child is good! Very healthy! The bleeding is not much, only 100 ml, the operation is smooth, you can rest assured!" the doctor did not look up, but the joy and composure in his tone comforted Shandan, and she fell into a deep sleep again.
