Chapter 35: The Tube Tower
Seeing Gu Jianqiu come in, the patient's family members in the ward immediately gathered around, praising him with joy on their faces. Because after their relatives were treated with Gu Jianqiu's acupuncture, the cancer pain was eliminated without exception. They wanted to know if they would do it again.
In addition to these people, there are also several family members of patients who have never seen them, and they discussed with Gu Jianqiu in a low voice with a smiling face, wanting to ask him to give acupuncture to their relatives who are suffering from cancer to relieve pain. Gu Jianqiu understood that they were the family members of patients in other wards, and they should have heard from the family members of patients in this ward that they could use acupuncture to relieve pain, and the effect was very good, so they all came to him and wanted him to treat them.
Gu Jianqiu saw Xia Xueting looking at him with puzzled eyes, and hurriedly said to the families of those patients: "I'm sorry, we are going to be discharged from the hospital today." ”
Gu Jianqiu finally got out of these relatives, came to Xia Xueting's side, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Without waiting for Xia Xueting to say, Xia Mu herself said first: "Last night, in the middle of the night, I quietly called the doctor on duty by pressing the call bell, and he told me everything. They told me the truth, my cancer has spread and is at an advanced stage, and my body is too weak to be operated on, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also very risky, and even with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the possibility of cure is almost zero. If there were no miracles, I would have lived for two months at most. In that case, why should I spend three and a half hundred thousand on a zero possibility? Go home! The two of you are studying Chinese medicine, you two treat me, it is my life to cure well, and it is my life to cure badly! ”
Xia Xueting's eyes on the side were red again, she sniffed, turned her face sideways and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. stood up and said to Gu Jianqiu: "The discharge procedures have been completed, let's go directly." You carry something, I'll hug my mother. ”
Xia Xueting hugged her hands horizontally and picked up her mother and put her in a wheelchair. Xia's mother was extremely weak, her weight was like that of a child, and she couldn't even feel the weight in Xia Xueting's arms.
Xia Xueting pushed her mother in a wheelchair, Gu Jianqiu carried a small amount of luggage, and when she came out of the hospital, Gu Jianqiu beckoned a taxi. The car drove all the way to Xia Xueting's house.
It's an old dormitory building of a textile mill, the kind built in the sixties and seventies. It is built of red brick and has a tiled roof. There are three floors in total, and there is a walkway in the middle, and there are people living on both sides, and the creaky wooden staircase is stepped on, as if you are worried that it will break at any time.
Xia Xueting and her family live on the third floor. The wheelchair was at the entrance of the hospital, and the nurse had already retrieved it. At this point, Xia Xueting went up to the third floor with her mother on her back.
It was dark in the walkway, and because it was daytime, there were no lights on. The house number on the door is barely visible. Xia Xueting came to the door of her house with her mother on her back, took out the key and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the sight lit up. What greets you is a suite. Old furniture, very tidy and tidy. There are two rooms inside and outside, and the outer room is a reception room and a kitchen. The bowls and basins are neatly placed. It is covered with a white cloth to protect it from dust.
The other wall is full of awards. Gu Jianqiu glanced at it, and now most of them are Xia Xueting's, and a few of them belong to Xia's mother, and the payment is from the textile factory. This should be the honor she received before she was laid off. Gu Jianqiu felt a little sour in his heart.
Xia Xueting carried her mother into the back room, Gu Jianqiu put down her things and went in to help, put Xia's mother on the bed, and lay down. Xia Xueting pulled over a thin quilt and covered it for her mother.
After cleaning up, Gu Jianqiu and Xia Xueting pulled over two folding chairs and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Xia's mother.
Gu Jianqiu looked at the inner room, there was an old-fashioned mirror frame hanging on the wall, there were some photos in it, his eyesight was already very good, and after cultivating it, it was even better, and he could clearly see the faces of the people above. Most of the above are photos of Xia Xueting's mother and daughter. There are a few old photos of stale yellow.
Gu Jian Qiuxian, the woman in Huang's old photo looks very much like the current Xia Xueting, it should be Xia Xueting when she was young, in the photo, she is as beautiful and charming as Xia Xueting, how can she not be associated with the thin old woman in front of her.
Xia's mother said to Xia Xueting: "You kid, what are you doing sitting stupidly?" Jian Qiu came to the house for the first time today, so why don't you hurry up and prepare lunch! ”
Xia Xueting hurriedly agreed.
Xia Mu said to Gu Jianqiu again: "Jianqiu, you are not an outsider, let's help Xue Ting together." ”
Gu Jianqiu found Xia Mu to give them a chance to be together, and he was a little embarrassed, so he agreed curtly, got up and followed.
The kind of tube building they live in does not have a special kitchen, and they all have a large common room in one building as the common kitchen of each family. Gu Jianqiu followed Xia Xueting to the common kitchen, there were already a few people here preparing to cook, and when she saw Xia Xueting, she immediately happily surrounded her, greeted her cordially, and asked, "Mom has been discharged from the hospital?" What do you think? Are you cured? ”
Xia Xueting didn't tell her neighbors about Xia's mother's cancer, they all thought it was just an ordinary illness, but Xia's mother was very weak before she was hospitalized, so these enthusiastic neighbors were very concerned.
Xia Xueting tried hard to make her smile more natural: "I've been discharged from the hospital, it's okay, I'm almost better." It's just that the body is too weak, and the doctor said that you should recuperate at home. ”
"That's good!" An old lady said very happily, "Our old man especially likes to eat steamed buns and porridge made by your mother, and now he has a good mouth, but his health is not good, and he will talk about it when he is sick. ”
"That's it, Mother Xia's noodles are delicious, our little treasure, I don't want to eat the food cooked at home, I want to eat Grandma Xia's mixed sauce noodles all day long." A, a chubby young woman, said with a smile and emotion, washing the vegetables in her hands.
A middle-aged man was stir-frying the fish-flavored shredded pork in the wok, and also sighed: "You don't know, I really see it, Sister Xia is really sick, this time I am only afraid that the disease is not light, the face is yellow and thin, and the head often hurts, and I want to die or live when I get up, and I faint several times." This time, you really have to take a good look at it, Xue Ting, aren't you just studying Chinese medicine? You should take care of it with your mother, Chinese medicine is very useful for regulating the body. ”
So the topic turned to Xia's mother's illness, and several residents who cooked and stir-fried vegetables were talking about it, all lamenting that Xia's mother was so weak, but she still picked up the burden of this family, and set up a food stall to make money to support the mother and daughter, which was really not easy.
After discussing for a while, their attention shifted to Gu Jianqiu, who came with Xia Xueting, looked at him curiously, and asked Xia Xueting in a low voice with a smile: "Who is this guy?" Is your boyfriend? ”
Xia Xueting's pretty face flushed a little, glanced at Gu Jianqiu, and hurriedly said, "He is my classmate and my good friend. We were admitted to Gentman Hospital together, and later we were colleagues, and he knew that my mother was sick and came to help. As he spoke, he introduced Gu Jianqiu to the residents, all of whom were neighbors and lived on one floor, and there were also laid-off workers.
Gu Jianqiu helped Xia Xueting wash rice, wash vegetables, and cook, and asked in a low voice, "Is my aunt in the snack business?" ”
"Well, after being laid off, the money is not enough to spend, Aunt Liu of the neighborhood committee is very enthusiastic, and arranged for my mother to set up a food stall in the community to make some breakfast, noodles and the like, my mother has good cooking skills, and the neighbors are very helpful, knowing that our family life is not good, they all come to the stall to eat, so the business is not bad."
As soon as he said this, a middle-aged woman's voice with a loud voice came from the aisle: "Is Xiao Xia back?" Discharged? Haha, great, it's good that the disease is cured, I'm still waiting to eat your fried noodles. ”
"Aunt Liu from the neighborhood committee is here, saying that Cao Cao Cao has arrived." Xia Xueting showed a rare smile.
