220 May my life be exchanged for thy well
I helped Xu Cheng sit down, the fairy and Lao Liu sat together, the old man had already made tea by himself, this guy was really fond of tea, and he did it himself when he saw a tea set.
Xu Cheng said: No, gastroscopy and X-ray barium swallow examination were diagnosed as stomach cancer, the examination was still in the advanced stage, it has been several months since now, and now I don't know if it is in the advanced stage, I have not taken medicine, and I feel that my body is getting worse and worse.
The old man knows a lot about medical skills, but he is helpless for this serious disease, and the old man said: In my opinion, I still have to go to the hospital to see, this matter must not be sloppy. Xu Cheng, don't delay any longer, listen to Uncle Gao's words and go to the hospital, right?
Xu Cheng still couldn't let go of the collapse of the Gao family, and he said to the old man apologetically: The matter of the Gao family, thinking about it in hindsight, was that I was too radical. Uncle Gao, I'm sorry, it really wasn't my intention to let the foundation of the Gao family for so many years be ruined, it's just ...... Ay.
The old man waved his hand, and then said: The shopping mall is like a battlefield, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, you don't have to mind too much. What's more, I have already made other arrangements for the Gao family, and everything is within my plan. Now that you are in your prime, don't give up the idea of survival easily. Listen to the words of your predecessors and actively go to treatment. Judging from my shallow numerology, your life is not exhausted.
The authority of what the old man said is self-evident, he has long said that I am destined to have a child, and now I am indeed pregnant. As soon as the fairy heard the old man say this, she immediately sat down, took Xu Cheng's hand and said: Ah Cheng, look, the old man said so, let's accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.
The fairy sat next to Xu Cheng, Xiaozhi comforted the old man with reason and affection for a long time, I didn't say a word, just took Xu Cheng's hand and put it on my lower abdomen, and then my own hand held his hand tightly. He finally agreed to the request to go to the hospital for a follow-up.
The fairy cooked him white porridge, which was very soft and glutinous, and soon after he ate a small bowl, he began to have abdominal pain again, and he held his stomach, and the expression on his face was particularly tangled and painful, and he said: "Yes, after every meal, it is like this, don't worry about me, after an hour or two, it will be relieved."
I burst into tears, and I said, "Why are you so stupid, even if you take some medicine to relieve the pain, why don't you take any medicine?"
He smiled bitterly and said, "Manly man, what is this little pain?" I can endure it, I can hold it.
While wiping his sweat for him, I said: If you are sick and don't get cured, you are a hero, not a real hero. A true hero should be brave enough to treat the disease head-on.
Beads of sweat came out of his head, I knew he was very uncomfortable, but I still couldn't help but blame, at this moment, I couldn't help but hurt instead of him.
He said, "Didn't I promise you to go back tomorrow, although I know that the result will be another disappointment, but for your sake, I am willing to try." As a result, I was actually afraid to go to the hospital. I once witnessed the death of my grandfather, uncle, and father in the hospital, all with the same symptoms, all of which could not be treated, and no matter how much money I spent, it was useless.
I wrung the towel and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, I said: Stomach ulcers are easy to be misdiagnosed as stomach cancer, I believe what the old man said, I don't believe that God will be willing to take you away at this time. What if it's really a stomach ulcer, if you go on like this, the acute becomes chronic, and the chronic drags on to cancer, and then you regret it.
Tossed until midnight, his pain was finally slowly relieved, I held his hand, hummed softly to him, he fell asleep in pain, I looked at his thin face, deep sunken eye sockets, the skin on his face was loose and full of fine lines, the whole person looked sickly, and my heart was worried again.
I turned off the lights and went downstairs, the fairy, Lao Liu, and the old man had not slept yet, sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea, while chatting about Xu Cheng's condition.
Seeing me coming down, the fairy immediately greeted me, and she said: How is Xu Cheng? Isn't it better?
I nodded, and I said: It hurts for more than an hour, and now I'm asleep.
The old man said: I called and asked an old friend, and he said that the symptoms of chronic gastric ulcer are very similar to gastric cancer, and it is easy to be diagnosed as gastric cancer in clinical practice. He recommended me to be an expert in this area, in Shanghai, and tomorrow we have to accompany Xu Cheng to Shanghai. Don't worry about registration, I'll take care of this.
I nodded, he looked at me, and said, "I'm tired of the day, go to sleep." We'll leave early tomorrow morning.
The fairy said, "I'll go to sleep with you, we three old people have a short sleep, sit here and chat."
I said: No need, I'll sleep with Xu Cheng. You talk, don't talk too late.
I went upstairs again and lay down gently beside Xu Cheng. I thought he was asleep, but as soon as I lay down, he turned around, wrapped his arms around my waist, and said softly: "Zhizhi, it's good, you are by my side again."
I shook his hand and I said, "Honey, go to sleep, sleep peacefully, and we'll go to the doctor tomorrow."
He became very well-behaved, buried his head in my neck, and said, "Okay, listen to you."
I turned around and tried to kiss him, but he dodged away again, and he said, "No, no."
He insisted stubbornly, so I could only kiss him on the cheek, he touched my hair, and he said, "Well, it's so long, it's all waist-high."
I said softly: When I have long hair and waist, can the general return? I'm waiting for you to marry me, so you must not give up.
This night was extraordinarily deep. After all this time, we finally lay together again. He used to be alive and well in bed, but now he is very quiet. At night, he tossed and turned in pain, but he didn't let me get up, he said: "Yes, it hurts for a while, don't get up, you sleep yours."
Finally, it was dawn, and we all got up early. The old man dragged people overnight to book tickets, and a few of us got on the earliest plane, flew to Shanghai, and went straight to the hospital recommended by the old man's friend, and found the expert.
I insisted on accompanying Xu Cheng, he didn't let me go, he said he didn't want the last situation to happen again, I shook my head, I said: No, it will never happen like that again. I had to be with you, and from the moment I found you again, I told myself that I must never leave you again.
The old man helped Zhang Luo and arranged for Xu Cheng to be admitted to the hospital, this is a private hospital, the environment and facilities are very good, and the room arranged for Xu Cheng looks very comfortable in tone. This is probably the most advanced ward in this hospital, or a suite, we have avoided the trouble of staying in a hotel, there are special rooms for family accompaniment, although a little small and crowded, but already very good.
When I accompanied Xu Cheng to go for an examination, the sweat on his head broke out again and again, and I kept cheering him on, and he needed to muster up a lot of courage to dare to go for every examination. I know that he is actually very afraid of death, more than anyone else.
The doctor has prescribed medicine to him, and there are special nurses who come to give him infusions on time, and the meals will be delivered on time every day, and the family can eat in the restaurant, which is very humane in all aspects, and it is more like a vacation here, without the feeling of being cramped in the hospital at all. Xu Cheng said: It's much better here than I thought.
I nodded, and I said, "The old man specially asked for a relationship to find a comfortable place for you to live."
After the infusion, the medicine was taken on time, and there was an effect, his pain was obviously relieved a lot, and I reproached angrily: Look, how much sin can be saved by taking medicine early, and you still don't listen.
He smiled and said, "I can carry it, what is that little pain?" Every time it hurts, I hold the pillow and call your name. Anyway, will you laugh at me, I feel more and more naïve now.
I held his hand, and I said: As long as you are good, even if you become a child who asks me for toys to play with every day, I am willing, as long as you live, I will feel at ease.
He put my hand to his lips and kissed it gently, and then said: Silly girl, how can I make you so unabandoned?
I said, "How can I let you do so much for me silently?" Husband, let's never be separated again, promise me, face everything strongly, for me, for our baby, come on, okay?
He nodded, and he said, "I will, yes." It's good that you're by my side. For several months, I felt as if I had been abandoned by the world, and I dreamed every night that you were getting farther and farther away from me, and I couldn't see you from afar.
I hammered my chest guiltily, he grabbed my hand and didn't let me beat it, I said: I'm sorry, if it wasn't for the arrival of providence, if it wasn't for the fairy to remind me, maybe I haven't found out that all this was deliberately arranged by you, maybe I haven't found you until now.
He pinched my face and said, "Silly girl, that's what I want to see." Since I can't give you happiness, let you find your own happiness without scruples, instead of suffering with me like now.
I shook my head, and I said, "I'm not in pain at all, I'm very calm when you're by my side." I can accompany you, and our children grow up day by day, which is the best happiness. You hide alone, so that we can't find you, is the greatest selfishness. You are so smart, why don't you understand that disappearing is more frightening than the disease itself. Have you ever thought that one day we, our loved ones, suddenly knew how it would be like for you to pass away? Have you ever thought about your mother's pain of hearing about you leaving this nightmare? Honey, you're really stupid. Do you think that if you bear it alone, we will all live in peace? No, if you wait until you leave me, my heart will never be at peace, I will be in pain for the rest of my life, I will be guilty and blame myself for the rest of my life, you know?
I was talking and choking again, and he listened to my words, looked at me affectionately, touched my face, and said: You are right, dear, it was me who was selfish. Okay, I'll listen to you, and when the test results come back, no matter what the result is, I'll call my mother and tell her to be mentally prepared. Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, I will insist on treatment, I promise you, I promise you.
Finally moved him! I was secretly happy in my heart, and I said: This is my man! No matter how bad the outcome, I will face it with you. Now, let's pray together, pray that God just played a black joke on you, pray that you don't really have stomach cancer, although damn stomach ulcers are also annoying, but it's really much better than cancer.
My words made him burst into tears and laugh, and he joined me in clasping his hands and praying sincerely, and at that moment, I said to God in my heart: If I can, I am willing to exchange my twenty years of life for his health and peace, and ask God to give us another chance to love well.
