Chapter 118: Fairy Tale
The operation lasted more than four hours, and it was already midnight when it was over. Due to the timely rescue, the scholar saved his life. Yang Zixi opened his skull, only to find that the damage to the skull was quite serious, so the cerebrospinal fluid leaked directly from his mouth and nose with blood.
After repairing the skull wound and suturing the wound, Yang Zixi took off his gloves, washed his hands with the water brought by Yang Huan, wiped the towel, and smiled at her: "Are you gradually getting used to it?" β
Yang Huan nodded with a white face, his eyes flickering to avoid the position of the operating table. From fainting when she first beat Yang Zixi, to now being able to persist until the end of the operation, her progress is obvious, but she still doesn't dare to look directly at the patient's wound.
Originally, this could have been done by Wang Xiaoshi or Yang Rui, but considering that Wang Xiaoshi needed a lot of time to read medical skills and lay a foundation, instead of coming up to observe them practically, Yang Zixi did not call him for surgery most of the time. As for Yang Rui, she hopes that he can have a good relationship with Zidui, become Zidui's follower in the future, and take care of the little guy for her when she has no time to doppelgΓ€nger.
As a result, Yang Huan was the only key training object for nurses.
Fortunately, although Yang Huan is small, she has strong perseverance, like her mother and brother, she has always kept in mind Yang Zixi's life-saving grace, as long as Yang Zixi tells her, even if she is afraid, she can grit her teeth and hold on.
Maybe when the opportunity is right, let her read and write, be literate, and have no chance to be promoted to a doctor in the future?
Out of the operating room, Yang Zixi went back to the room. Twilight hadn't slept yet, so she sat under the lamp and waited for her while reading a book. Whenever her surgery was delayed until midnight, the little one would stay up and wait for her. No matter how many times he said it, it was still the same.
"Sister-in-law Yu has given you a hot meal, and the warm box is on the table. You eat it yourself. Twilight flipped through the pages of the book in her hand and said without raising her head.
Yang Zixi was tired and didn't want to speak. Sit down and bring out the food in the incubator. A plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of braised lion's head, a bowl of chestnut rice, and a bowl of egg skin soup can be described as very rich. Yang Zixi knew that whenever she had major surgery, Sister-in-law Yu would prepare food for her alone, which was called "tonic", but no one else could eat it.
So she smiled and said to Zidui, "What did you eat for dinner?" Can there be a lion's head? Do you want to divide one? β
Only then did Twilight turn his gaze away from the book, and he glanced at the richly scented lion's head. The little face was already as tense as an iceberg, but he involuntarily stretched out his little tongue and licked his lips, and the two opposite expressions were combined together, without any sense of disobedience, but became more and more cute, which made Yang Zixi laugh secretly.
"It's just two, you're just enough to eat, right?" The little guy turned his gaze with difficulty, and said calmly.
Yang Zixi smiled: "I've had surgery for a day, and I don't have much appetite for meat." If you don't eat and waste, or will you solve it for me? β
"I've had dinner in the evening." The little one's long eyelashes fluttered up and down, and he tried to restrain himself.
From his slightly open nose, Yang Zixi knew that he was still difficult to resist the fragrance of the lion's head.
"Count, I'm begging you to help clear the plates. I can't eat it, and my sister-in-law should be sad when she cleans up the dishes. β
These words fully satisfied the little one's pride, and he put down the book in his hand when he heard the words. He walked over to the table and sat down, saying, "For your sake." I'll just make it difficult once. β
Yang Zixi smiled and pinched off half of the lion's head and fed it to his mouth. The little one puffed out his cheeks and chewed twice, then swallowed.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Yang Zixi said habitually.
After a few strokes of the lion's head, Yang Zixi began to eat cabbage and soup. Zi Du didn't go back to read, but leaned on the table with her chin propped up and watched her eat, and Yang Zixi who looked straight at her was uncomfortable.
"What are you doing watching me eat? You haven't eaten yet? She asked, surprised.
"It's full," the little one licked his lips, "I'm just wondering how you can eat so much with vegetarian dishes." β
Yang Zixi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You are at the age when you grow up and eat meat, of course you won't understand that anyone who has looked at flesh and blood for a day will always find vegetarian dishes more delicious." After speaking, he grabbed a cabbage stick with chopsticks and chewed it chirping.
Twilight was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Why did you choose to be a doctor in the first place?" β
Why did I choose to become a doctor in the first place?
Yang Zixi unconsciously put down his chopsticks, and his thoughts drifted to many, many years ago......
"Zixi, are you going to be admitted to medical school? You can't be a shame on our family. β
"I'm not talking about simply being a doctor, but being the world's top surgeon, you have to fight for this goal! How can you succeed in life without goals? β
"Your mother and I sent you to Johns Hopkins, not to let you graduate and become a war doctor in a little, obscure place! I have negotiated with the Military General Hospital, and I will arrange a position for you as an assistant to the chief of surgery, and I will mention it in a few years, when will you return to China? β
As the daughter of the director of the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of surgery at the largest hospital in B-Beijing, she has almost no right to choose the life she wants. From the moment she was born, her career has been completely planned, from kindergarten to primary school, from middle school to university, a road that cannot be deviated in front of her, and there is no possibility of stepping on a wrong one.
Perhaps she was initially forced to study medicine, but in the process of studying, she gradually fell in love with the subject and was willing to devote her life to it. But in China, things are far from being so simple, and academia is not pure academic, involving too many relationships, interests and not so pure things. So she didn't go back after graduating, but stayed in Baxstan...... In the end, it happened to be an accident and died in a foreign land, and he didn't even see his parents.
After coming to this strange world, did she think about them? Maybe you've missed it before, right? But in her life from childhood to adulthood, her busy parents left her with only the back of coming and going, in addition to giving her the best conditions for schooling, what was left was endless pressure and goals that must be achieved...... It was as if she belonged to the two of them, a subject that had to be realized according to their vision.
"My family's expectations are just like I do to you." Yang Zixi tore back from his memories, raised his hand and pinched Zidui's cheeks, and said with a smile, "Study hard in the academy, your grades are among the best, as for whether you are preparing to enter the court as an official in the future, or do what you want to do, it's up to you." You have the right to choose your own life, but only if you lay a good foundation and have the capital to choose. β
The little guy grinned when he was pinched, and the three sentences went back to learning! Stop! Stop me!
After eating, Yang Zixi carried the dishes to the door, and Sister-in-law Yu put a basin of water outside the door, soaked the dirty dishes in it, and Sister-in-law Yu will take them to wash when she gets up tomorrow morning.
After washing, when Yang Zixi climbed on the bed, the little guy had already changed his clothes and arched into the quilt, the early spring night was still a little cold, the plumbing was boiling to every room, the room was warm, and even the quilt did not need to be too thick.
When she got into bed, Twilight squirmed a few times and put her legs on her waist.
This is the habitual reservation of the little guy, as if he can't sleep if he doesn't sleep like this, Yang Zixi was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now he can sleep in the dark as a cushion. Sometimes she even thinks that it is because she can't sleep without her feet that the little guy stays up all night waiting for her to sleep together.
Covering the little guy with the quilt and stuffing the corners of the quilt, Yang Zixi turned his back to him and closed his eyes. Behind her, Twilight reached out and stabbed her in the back.
"Where's today's bedtime story?"
"Go to sleep, I'm sleepy, I'll make up for it tomorrow." Yang Zixi didn't think about it and said casually.
"No, I can't sleep if you don't tell stories."
Yang Zixi was stunned, turned over and turned her face, the lines of the little guy's mouth in the dark were very clear, which made her unconscious.
"Haven't you always liked to hear it?" Although the bedtime story is also a reserved program, but every time the story is told, the little guy is picky about this and that, and it seems that no story can satisfy him. It's not her fault that there are bugs everywhere in fairy tales.
"It's because I don't like to listen to it that it has a hypnotic effect." Zi Duan's words almost didn't make Yang Zixi crook his nose angrily.
In the end, he couldn't entangle him, Yang Zixi could only close his eyes and began to speak in a daze: "...... The princess did not want to marry the old king, so she made her request to the king: make me a dress with the color of the moon. The old king agreed, and made a dress as bright as the moonlight out of silver thread and pearls; The princess then made a second request, to make me a dress that would shine like the sun. The old king agreed, and made a dress out of gold and diamonds that shone like the sun. The princess finally demanded that the old king kill his donkey, which could pull gold coins, and make her a skirt out of donkey skin. Although the old king loved the donkey very much, he finally fulfilled the princess's request.
Seeing that there was no way to shirk it any longer, the princess put on a donkey's skin skirt and sneaked out of the palace...... Later, she came to a farm and worked as a milkmaid, and everyone called her the donkeyskin girl. One day she put on a sun-like dress and stood at the window and sang, and a passing young prince fell in love with her and ended up marrying her and living happily ever after. β
"What a hypocrisy it is to be human," interjected in a spirited voice, "is this story telling us that while rejecting a suitor, we must not forget to extract all of his value?" After receiving the dowry, will it be more cost-effective to repent? β
In response to him, Yang Zixi snorted steadily, and the storyteller had already fallen asleep first, and she was too tired. (To be continued......)
