Chapter 492: The Longing for Home
There is a plastic box next to the cardboard, most of which are ten yuan and twenty yuan banknotes, and the one yuan coins are sunk underneath.
Seeing that the little girl only wrote the word "home", Chen Hao knew that there must be a story in it.
"Little sister, what's your name? How old are you? Seeing that the girl just lowered her head to write, without even raising her head, Chen Hao asked.
"Anne Ding, thirteen years old." The girl didn't say much, and continued to write as she answered.
Seeing that the little girl didn't take much care of herself, Chen Hao asked the old man beside her. "Uncle, what grade is the child? Are you her ......? ”
The old man smiled innocently. "This is my granddaughter, sixth grade."
"Have you eaten dinner?" Chen Hao observed the old man's somewhat pale face, and estimated that they might not have eaten dinner.
"Nope. I asked Anne to buy something to eat, and she said she wasn't hungry and that she would keep the money for my treatment. The old man shook his head and sighed.
Cure? Chen Hao subconsciously looked at the old man's body and immediately found the problem. His body can be said to be full of diseases, the most serious being the liver. His liver envelope is significantly thickened, the liver surface is not smooth, rough and uneven, the proportion of each lobule is abnormal, the density is reduced, and it is nodular changes, the diameter of the portal vein is widened, the spleen is enlarged, and the peritoneal effusion is accumulated.
This is a typical symptom of cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in which diffuse liver damage is caused by long-term or repeated action of one or more causes. In China, most of them are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, and a small number are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis.
Extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of residual hepatocytes, connective tissue hyperplasia and fibrous septum formation were found in histopathology, resulting in the destruction of liver lobular structure and the formation of pseudolobules, and the liver gradually deformed and hardened and developed into cirrhosis.
In the early stage, there are no obvious symptoms due to the strong compensatory function of the liver, and in the later stage, liver function damage and portal hypertension are the main manifestations, and there are multiple system involvement, and in the late stage, complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, secondary infection, hypersplenism, ascites, and carcinogenesis often occur.
"Uncle, have you ever had hepatitis?" Chen Hao asked.
"No, I've always been in good health, I'm not sick, even before the Chinese New Year, I still work in the fields every day." The old man cracked his mouth and laughed.
"Uncle, you must like to drink a lot." Chen Hao asked with certainty. If his cirrhosis is not formed after hepatitis, then it is likely to be alcoholic cirrhosis, after all, people drink boiled water now, and schistosomiasis is rare.
"Yes, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to drink a little wine. A plate of peanuts can drink a few large bowls, three meals a day, and the meals will not fall. The old man said with a smile.
Chen Hao sighed, looking at the conditions in this old man's house, he must have drunk extremely cheap and high-alcohol inferior wine. Ninety percent of the alcohol in the human body is metabolized and decomposed in the liver, and long-term heavy drinking, especially alcohol with a high alcohol content, will exceed the metabolic capacity of liver cells, leading to alcoholic liver and even liver cirrhosis.
The old man's cirrhosis of the liver has reached the middle and advanced stages, liver cell destruction and fibrosis, liver failure, splenomegaly, hypoproteinemia, refractory ascites, and there is no good treatment to restore liver function. If it weren't for Chen Hao, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted two years.
Chen Hao got up to leave, came to a noodle restaurant next to the park, ordered two pots of shredded noodles with vegetables and pork, added two eggs to each bowl, and then brought two pots of steaming noodles to the old man and the little girl.
The old man took the noodles in Chen Hao's hand and thanked him vigorously, and the little girl said thank you, and then lowered her head and ate it.
What a filial child, Chen Hao secretly admired in his heart.
After the two finished eating, Chen Hao and the old man sat side by side and asked, "Uncle, aren't the child's parents here?" ”
Listening to Chen Hao's question, the girl lowered her head, and her grandfather let out a long sigh. "My son was not in a good life, he was hit by a car in the year his daughter was Anne was born, and he went like that, the dog that hit the man. Mixed. The kind also ran away. His daughter-in-law got the news and ran away from home because she couldn't stand the blow, and there was no news so far, leaving us two old men and old lady and this granddaughter in the house. ”
"What about Auntie?"
"In her hometown, she has a disabled leg and it is inconvenient for her to walk, so she didn't come out."
This family is really unlucky, Chen Hao had the idea of helping in his heart, he asked tentatively: "Then you came to Hudong to ......"
The old man took out a crumpled pack of cigarette cases from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Chen Hao. "Got one?"
Chen Hao shook his hand with a smile and said, "Uncle Xie Lu, I don't smoke." ”
Although Chen Hao doesn't smoke, when he was in college, some classmates smoked, and occasionally he would share a cigarette, and after taking other people's cigarettes for a long time, he would also go to the commissary to buy a pack of cigarettes in return, so he also knew the price of cigarettes. Chen Hao has never seen this brand of cigarettes, but after looking at the packaging of this cigarette box, he knows that this kind of cigarette is an inferior cigarette of about three yuan a pack, and this brand of cigarette has no market in Hudong at all.
The more inferior the tobacco, the greater the damage to the lungs, and the results of the fluoroscopy just now are not optimistic for the lungs, the lung texture is not clear, and a tumor appears. The tumor is lobulated, with irregular edges, small burr shadows and pleural shrinkage, and lung cancer is more likely.
Seeing that Chen Hao didn't smoke, and the old man was not reluctant, he took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and then two pillars of smoke erupted from his nostrils like two green dragons.
Chen Hao immediately felt its spicy and pungent taste. Inferior cigarettes contain more carcinogens, and after entering the lungs and turning around, some carcinogens are trapped in the alveoli, changing the tension and elasticity of the alveoli......
The old man smoked a cigarette and said, "I went to the hospital before the Chinese New Year, and the doctor there said that I had cirrhosis, which can only be seen in big hospitals. I said it's nothing, you don't need to look at it, my body is great, I have to grow some crops and sell some money, and children have to pay tuition for school, right? But Anne said that she would earn money to see a doctor for me, and just like that, we came to Hudong. When I arrived in Hudong, I ran out of money. I said that there was no land to grow something to sell, and that no one wanted me to find a job as a sick old man, so Anne came to this park every day to sell words, and she said that when she earned enough money to see a doctor, she would take me to the hospital. ”
Hearing this, Chen Hao's eyes moistened. What a simple old man, and what a filial child, the word "home" is full of the little girl's desire for it! This must be helped.
"Uncle, I just have a job here, I wonder if you want to do it?"
