Next Chapter

In the haze, Zuo Jiang slowly opened his eyes, and the pain all over his body not only made him frown. Where is this? How did I end up here?

Slowly, Zuo Jiang recalled some fragments of last night's events. Yes, I went to drink alone last night! Why go for sullen drinking? Yesterday was his daughter's 8th birthday, and he hadn't seen his daughter for 6 years because of his ex-wife's obstruction, this time his ex-wife promised him that he could give his daughter a birthday, but after he went, his ex-wife became hanging, saying that she wouldn't let him see her daughter, and scolded him for being a wreck, not a man, and kicked him out directly.

At the age of 28, Zuo Jiang became the deputy stationmaster of Tongjiang Station, which was one of the 46 major marshalling stations in the country at that time, and it was listed in the country. As the first deputy station manager in charge of transportation, Zuo Jiang holds the power of wagon scheduling and operation workshop personnel, which can be described as a spring breeze.

The enthusiastic old stationmaster introduced him to an object, the daughter of the deputy mayor of Tongjiang City at the time, that is, his ex-wife. Both families felt that it was very suitable, and Zuo Jiang and his ex-wife had no opinions, so the matter was settled, and they got married half a year later. After marriage, his ex-wife felt that the work of the industrial and commercial bureau was too boring, so she resigned and went to sea to make a lot of money, and she quickly developed with her father's status and power. This is a good thing, but the ex-wife goes home less and less as she earns more and more money, even if her daughter is born, she can't tie her, and after the confinement and hands over her daughter to her mother-in-law to take care of her, she goes to work with her company's affairs.

As a deputy stationmaster in charge of transportation at a first-class marshalling station, and a critical period for career development, Zuo Jiang is also devoted to his career, working in vain and night, so that the couple will meet less and less, and their feelings will be much colder, although some scandals about his ex-wife will come to his ears from time to time, and he does not particularly care.

At the age of 30, the old stationmaster retired at the age of age, Zuo Jiang successfully took over and became the youngest first-class station manager in the national railway system at that time. But the good times did not last long, on her daughter's 2nd birthday, there was a major accident of shunting conflict at Tongjiang Station, resulting in 1 death, 2 injuries, and direct economic losses of more than 10 million yuan.

After research, the Songjiang Railway Branch decided that Zuo Jiang was dismissed from his post as stationmaster because of his leadership responsibilities and became a teacher at the Songjiang Railway Branch Vocational School. The history is strikingly similar, and his father was also removed from his job 17 years ago because of an accident. At that time, his father was the head of the Songjiang Railway Branch, and he was dismissed from his post because of a major accident involving a head-on collision with the train, and was finally assigned to the Party School of the Branch as a nominal vice principal.

After Zuo Jiang was dismissed, it led to a big outbreak of emotional estrangement with his ex-wife, at this time his ex-wife already had tens of millions of assets, and she looked down on him at all. Zuo Jiang is also a bloody man, and in a fit of anger, he divorced his ex-wife, didn't ask for anything, and left the house, which was exactly what his ex-wife wanted.

Unable to see his daughter, Zuo Jiang sullenly found a tavern to drink alone, and drank until about 10 o'clock in the evening, when the tavern was about to close, and then he went home drunk. Now all he remembered was crossing a street when a blinding white light flickered, followed by a screeching screech of brakes, and then he knew nothing.

Is this a hospital? Did I get hit by a car? At this time, the sky was just bright, and through the gray light of the curtains, Zuo Jiang saw that the room was white everywhere, and there was an infusion stand next to his bed, and a bottle of medicine bottles that had been finished was hung on the hook of the infusion stand, but the light yellow hose used for infusion on the medicine bottle made him wonder, what kind of hospital is this, and such an old infusion method is used, isn't it all disposable plastic tubes now? Looking at the infusion stand again, he was even more amazed, this infusion stand was the kind he could only see in the hospital when he was a child!

Zuo Jiang suddenly had a strange feeling, moved his hands, as if he was not injured, and moved his feet again, and he was also very flexible. Just as he was moving his feet, he felt the quilt under his feet pressing very tightly, so he turned his head to see a woman wearing a white good shirt and long wavy hair, sitting on a chair next to the bed, her upper body crawling on the quilt at his feet, sleeping soundly. Because she was lying on the bed, Zuo Jiang couldn't see her face, nor could he see who she was.

Zuo Jiang's movements alarmed the woman, her hand raised her head after a few clicks, and when she saw Zuo Jiang looking at her with her eyes open, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "Son, you are awake!" It's scared to death for my mother! As he spoke, he pounced and hugged Zuo Jiang in his arms, sobbing and crying.

Zuo Jiang was stunned by this sudden change, and the moment the woman raised her head, he could clearly see that it was his mother, and it was the mother of his youth. His mother had passed away before his divorce, and now he was thrilled to see her again. What's going on? Is it, is it ...... Is it self-rebirth?

The familiar voice of his mother, the warm and comfortable embrace, the ancient equipment in the ward, and the piercing sound of brakes last night were so real that Zuo Jiang had to believe that he was indeed reborn, how could such an incredible thing fall on his head!

His mother's warm embrace made Zuo Jiang deeply nostalgic, and he really wanted to stay in his mother's arms all the time. After crying for a while, his mother put him on the bed, tested the temperature on his forehead and said, "The effect of this imported medicine is good, and the fever has really subsided!" ”

Zuo Jiang looked at his mother with a happy face and said his first words after being reborn: "Mom, what's wrong with me?" ”

Before the mother could speak, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the attending doctor walked in with two nurses, looked at Zuo Jiang who had come to his senses and said in surprise: "Dean Li, your son is well!" Zuo Jiang's mother's name is Li Shuyuan, and she is the vice president of this railway hospital.

Li Shuyuan said: "Yes, Dr. Wang, I tried it just now and the fever went away, thank you, if you don't take this imported medicine, you really can't recover so fast!" ”

Dr. Wang said, "Dean Li, this is what I should do, Xiao Jiang is your son!" I'd better check him out first. As he spoke, he came to the bed and checked Zuo Jiang.

At this time, the railway hospital was an enterprise hospital run by the railway, which was aimed at the employees and families of the railway, and the medical expenses of the employees were all exempted, and the half fee for the medical treatment of the family members was not directly handed over to the hospital, but was deducted from the wages of the employees month by month. This involves the use of drugs, in order to save money, the hospital uses some ordinary drugs, and strictly controls imported drugs and special drugs, and must be approved by the president if necessary. The son's illness was only a severe cold and high fever, which did not meet the conditions for the use of imported drugs and special medicines at all, and Li Shuyuan, as the vice president, was even more difficult to open up to the dean.

Zuo Jiang is now anxious to know what year it is, there is no mirror in the ward, he can't see his face, judging from his body, it should be a teenager, that is, in the eighties. Hearing Dr. Wang call his mother Dean Li just now, he judged that this time should be between 1984 and 1987, because his mother served as the vice president of Songjiang Railway Hospital during this time, and his mother was very hopeful of being promoted to president, but because his father was removed from the post of branch director due to the major accident in 1986, his mother was reappointed as the chairman of the hospital's labor union in 1987.

After Dr. Wang examined Zuo Jiang, he said to Li Shuyuan: "Dean Li, Xiao Jiang's body temperature has basically returned to normal now, and his cardiopulmonary function is also normal. ”

Li Shuyuan said: "Doctor Wang, thank you! Xiao Jiang's illness has tired everyone, you were busy last night and didn't rest well in the middle of the night, and now Xiao Jiang has nothing to do, you go back and have a good rest! ”

After sending off Dr. Wang, Li Shuyuan sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Zuo Jiang's forehead and said, "Xiao Jiang, how are you feeling now, where is your body uncomfortable?" ”

Although Zuo Jiang was now in pain and weakness, he was afraid that his mother would worry about him, so he said: "Mom, I'm all right now, and I don't have any pain on my body, don't believe me!" As he spoke, he got up and got out of bed and made a few chest expansion movements.

Li Shuyuan hurriedly grabbed Zuo Jiang and said, "Xiao Jiang, your illness is just right, go to bed and lie down and don't catch a cold." So saying, he pulled him to the bed, and when he saw that he was lying down, he tucked the corners of the quilt for him.

Zuo Jiang looked at his mother's young and beautiful face and was very excited, it's good to be reborn, the family can be reunited! In the end, he finally couldn't hold back the question in his heart and asked, "Mom, what year is it?" ”

Li Shuyuan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then she became nervous, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Jiang, don't scare your mother, I don't know what year it is, is my brain burned out!" ”
