Chapter 18: The Long Road to Recovery

This place finally calmed down, and Lao Xiao and Xu Lanqing began to worry about their homes, vegetable fields, chickens, and beef stalls. Xiao Mu was already able to go to the ground, and the hospital ordered a fixed knee pad for him, so he could walk around with crutches, and he could be discharged in two days. As soon as everyone researched it, let Lao Xiao go back first, and it has been almost half a month since he came out. Xu Lanqing stayed to take care of Xiao Mu, and when Xiao Mu could take care of herself, she would go back.

Xiao Mu's dormitory has no elevator, he can't go upstairs on crutches, and Xu Lanqing can't take care of him, so the school found a room for Xiao Mu in the staff's single apartment.

Single apartments are for single or newly married workers with no children. Inside there is a bed, a computer desk. Outside are sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets and a wardrobe. There is also a bathroom and kitchen where you can cook your own meals.

Xu Lanqing is very happy, so that he can cook for Xiao Mu to eat, he has been vomiting in the restaurant recently, the dishes here are too spicy, Xu Lanqing can't stand it. There is also a vegetable market not far downstairs, out of the community, across the street is the gate of the school, Gu Yihuai and Meng Ze are much more convenient to come over. The day before being discharged from the hospital, Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai cleaned the house well, with Gu Yihuai's help, Xu Lanqing was a lot more relaxed, and kept praising Gu Yihuai for her neat work, saying that it would be great if she had such a good daughter. Gu Yihuai listened, didn't speak, tears almost didn't fall, her own mother hadn't seen her for many years, did she still think of having a daughter. Xu Lanqing saw it and hurriedly came over to ask her what was wrong, Gu Yihuai said that she was blinded by work. Xu Lanqing didn't say anything, and quickly changed the topic.

Gu Yihuai called Meng Ze, and Chen Ye also came. The four of them went to the supermarket and bought everything they needed. Looking at it this way, it's really good, like a small family. Just waiting for Xiao Gongzi, he is coming.

On the day of discharge, a lot of people came, and the school also arranged a car to pick them up. Everyone sent Xiao Mu back to the apartment, the place was too small, and everyone went back one after another. In the afternoon, Xu Lanqing went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and Gu Yihuai accompanied Xiao Mu at home.

In the evening, Xu Lanqing wanted to cook a few of Xiao Mu's favorite dishes to make up for the abused stomach in the past few days. Gu Yihuai also came over to help, and the two of them talked and laughed, washing, chopping, and stir-frying. Xiao Mu sat on the sofa, his legs on the coffee table, and pressed the remote control.

Yesterday it was still a deserted room, because of breathing, laughter, and immediately had a temperature.

Xiao Mu suddenly felt that even if he couldn't play basketball, it was nothing, and such a family could be happy together, wouldn't it be very happy. That basketball is just something outside the body, even if it's a pity, it's still far worse than them.

Xiao Mu has only realized happiness in his two lives so far, and he is really ashamed. This time, without Gu Yihuai as a slapstick, I really don't know what will happen to me, whether I am still like the previous life.

Could it be that God arranged for him to come back and experience this time, that is, to let him meet Gu Yihuai, that is, to let him know what life is, what happiness is, and what love is. As Gu Yihuai said, don't give up lightly and face it bravely. You must not live up to this opportunity given by God, for Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao, for Gu Yihuai, for yourself, and for Xiao Xiao Mu in the sky.

In the past half a month, Xiao Mu has been lying in bed every day, and he has obviously begun to gain weight. In the past two days, Xiao Mu didn't dare to eat normally. I can't care so much today, I haven't eaten my mother's food for a long time, let it go. Gu Yihuai also ate a little more than usual, but Xu Lanqing still felt that she ate less, and kept serving Gu Yihuai vegetables.

After eating, Meng Ze came again and chatted with Xiao Mu about basketball. Gu Yihuai took Xu Lanqing to the school for a visit, Xu Lanqing was very happy, he had been here for so long, and he hadn't gone to Xiao Mu's school yet. Gu Yihuai hugged Xu Lanqing's arm and left, and Xiao Mu was also very happy to see it.

After that, it became a meeting place, and every few days the team came over to eat Xu Lanqing's dishes. After a few days, the same dormitory came to improve their lives. Gu Yihuai must come over for dinner every day at noon and evening, this is Xu Lanqing's order. For half a month, Gu Yihuai's little face was obviously fleshy, and his face was also red. While Xu Lanqing didn't pay attention, Gu Yihuai touched his little belly and pouted at Xiao Mu. Gu Yihuai is still very grateful to Xu Lanqing, here she experienced the long-lost maternal love, which made her feel very cordial and cherished.

One day, Gu Yihuai also had to cook for Xu Lanqing. At noon, he said that it was okay, and Xu Lanqing was waiting at home in the evening.

After school in the afternoon, Gu Yihuai went straight to the vegetable market and bought several vegetables.

Back in Xiao Mu's dormitory, Xu Lanqing also came to help, but was pushed back by Gu Yihuai.

Gu Yihuai hasn't cooked for a long time, and only when she goes home on vacation can she have the conditions to cook. I usually eat in the cafeteria, and I get tired of eating it early.

When I was a child, my grandmother and grandfather often worked and had no time to cook, so little Gu Yihuai made a fire to cook by herself. When his grandfather died, Gu Yihuai, who grew up, would make food for his grandmother as long as he was at home.

Gu Yihuai's cooking is very neat, and after a while, the four dishes will be fried. She knew that Xu Lanqing couldn't eat spicy food, so she didn't put chili peppers.

The three of them sat down, and Xu Lanqing and Xiao Mu couldn't wait to eat. It really surprised them, Gu Yihuai's craftsmanship is quite good.

Xiao Muzhen didn't expect Gu Yihuai to cook so deliciously. There is a strong local flavor that is not so spicy. "If you don't have a job in the future, go and open a restaurant, and you will definitely earn money."

Xu Lanqing also praised, "I really didn't expect it, this taste is so good." Look at how capable this child is, who can tidy up the house and cook. Look at you, what else do you cook besides cooking instant noodles? ”

Xiao Mu and Gu Yihuai looked at each other and smiled, and both of them thought at the same time that Xiao Mu also had a raw beef mixed with raw egg dinner.

This meal, Xiao Mu and Xu Lanqing did not eat less.

Xiao Mu ate Gu Yihuai's meal for the first time, and the food was very fragrant. Not to mention that it is so delicious, as long as it is cooked, Xiao Mu will feel that it is a big meal.

Xu Lanqing was also happy, his son's cooking hadn't been eaten yet, but he had eaten the food cooked by his son's girlfriend first. The happy Xu Lanqing opened the WeChat video and showed off with Lao Xiao. Lao Xiao cooked noodles at home alone and just ate two bites. Seeing the dishes on the table in the video, although I couldn't eat it, I was also happy, took out the wine, looked at the dishes in the video and drank a glass.

Xiao Mu consulted various materials before being discharged from the hospital, and he had a better understanding of his injuries and was more confident that he would recover as before. At the same time, I also thought of my friend Yuan Tian in his previous life, Yuan Tian is a professional rehabilitation therapist, has been in the industry for 20 years, and graduated with a doctorate in sports rehabilitation in the United States. They worked together for eight years, and on two occasions they suffered knee injuries. Because Xiao Mu himself also suffered a knee injury, he paid special attention to Yuantian's rehabilitation methods at that time. I didn't expect it to be used in this life. Thank you Motoda, although you left Lao Tzu in the apartment in your last life, but for the sake of your scientific rehabilitation methods, Lao Tzu forgives you.

Based on the information Xiao Mu recently found, the hospital helped him contact experts across the country, and combined with Yuantian's rehabilitation methods, Xiao Mu formulated a set of rehabilitation plans suitable for himself.

After being discharged from the hospital, Xiao Mu officially began rehabilitation training. The legs can't exert force now, so Xiao Mu starts with the upper limbs and core strength. The knees are trained with a slight exertion of the fixed position. Gradually, the legs begin to be lightly flexed and extended. After more than half a month of training, I can now walk around on crutches. You can also take care of your daily life. Xu Lanqing couldn't stay still, studied with Xiao Muyi, bought a train ticket online, and went home in two days. Hey, it's good outside, but it's not as good as your own kennel.

Gu Yihuai heard that Xu Lanqing was going home, so she reluctantly took Xu Lanqing's hand and pouted.

Xiao Mu took the opportunity to say, "Mom, you've been here for a month, and you haven't gone out for a good time." There are several tourist destinations in Qingyang, and tomorrow is Sunday, so let's go and see it. ”

"Pull it down, just your legs and feet, it would be nice to be able to go out for a walk in another month."

"I'm not going again, let Yihuai accompany you. She's been here for a year and a half, and she hasn't been there. ”

When Xu Lanqing heard this, he was a little moved. Gu Yihuai must have been reluctant to pay, so he didn't go to play. It's a pity not to go for a walk by yourself. just took the opportunity to take Gu Yihuai to play for a day.

But Gu Yihuai hurriedly said, "I won't go, I have to take care of Xiao Mu at home." ”

"Don't worry about him, let Meng Ze accompany him for a day tomorrow, he won't starve to death. Let's study where we're going to play tomorrow. ”

Xiao Mu had a black line on his face, and when it came to playing, he didn't even care about his son.

Gu Yihuai was still a little hesitant, Xu Lanqing said; "Teacher Zhou came two days ago and gave a month's nursing subsidy, 200 a day, a total of 6,000. Tomorrow is enough for the two of us to have a good day. ”

"Mom, isn't this money for me?" Xiao Mu quipped.

"This is the hard money for me and Yihuai to take care of you, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't bother us, Yihuai, turn on the computer, let's see tomorrow's route. ”

Xiao Mu looked at Gu Yihuai and smiled helplessly, and Gu Yihuai had no choice but to prepare for tomorrow's trip.

The next day, Meng Ze came over early, played a half-night game last night, and now he is still hysterical. came in and fell asleep on the sofa, while Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai set off in good spirits.

The two of them did not go outside the city, but walked around a few places of interest in the city. Although Gu Yihuai has never been here, he still knows the stories of these places, and tells Xu Lanqing while walking. If you're hungry at noon, you're at the food stall, eat this and eat that. By the time it was all over, it was getting dark.

At home, Xiao Mu and Meng Ze ordered takeout at noon. I thought that the two of them would come back for dinner, but I didn't expect it to be dark and there was no one in sight. Xiao Mu called, and it turned out that the two of them were enjoying food in a snack street.

Meng Ze mended the knife next to him, "It's really fun, my son and husband don't want it." ”

"Don't be emotional, hurry up and try to cushion your stomach."

The two of them laid six bags of instant noodles and lay down 6 eggs, at least they weren't hungry.

It was only at 9 p.m. that the two returned happily. The two of them have a big bag of small fruits, and each of them wears new clothes, which is still the same style.

Xu Lanqing pulled Gu Yihuai and asked Meng Ze, "Look at the two of us wearing this, do we look like mother and daughter?" ”

"Auntie, you two are like mother and daughter, you are sisters."

"Go," but Xu Lanqing was still full of joy, "We finished eating in the snack street, and we just went to the mall to have a look." After picking for a long time, I only picked two sets, how about it? ”

"Perfect, it's not a return rate." Meng Ze smiled, and Gu Yihuai gave it to him.

Xiao Mu said: "You two can really do it together, the sun comes out, you two go out, the sun has been home for several hours, you two have only gone home, much more dedicated than the sun." ”

Xu Lanqing said: "Isn't this going back, if you come out, you can't go back empty-handed." Relatives at home know about you, and they all give red envelopes, and you have to buy special products when you go back, and give everyone a share. ”

Meng Ze and Gu Yihuai hurried back to the dormitory, and the dormitory manager was about to close the door in a while.

At home, Xu Lanqing was telling Xiao Mu to take care of himself. If something happens, call quickly. No, she'll come back in a few days. Xiao Mu agreed with a smile, nagging and heavy in love.

The next day, at the airport, Gu Yihuai sent Xu Lanqing.

Xu Lanqing took Gu Yihuai's hand, "Yihuai, you have to eat well, take care of yourself, your body is important, just tell me if you are short of money." It's a big deal, you'll make a lot of money and pay me back a little bit in the future, won't you? ”

Gu Yihuai listened, tears almost didn't come down, and nodded straight, "Hmm." ”

Xu Lanqing continued: "Xiao Mu is a sensible child, and he can take care of himself from childhood to adulthood. But now in this situation, you need to take care of him more. ”

Gu Yihuai hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry, Xiao Mu will leave it to me, and I will take care of him." ”

"You take care of him, I don't worry, it's hard for you. If he bullies you, just tell me, see if I don't ......" She just wanted to say that she would discount his legs, but when she thought that Xiao Mu was now lame, she quickly changed her words, "He can't find the north after beating." ”

Gu Yihuai smiled, "Okay, Auntie." If there is anything on Xiao Mu's side, I will contact you in time. ”

Xu Lanqing took out a paper bag from his pocket, "You take the money." ”

Gu Yihuai hurriedly pushed, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's not for you, it's for you and Xiao Mu living expenses, I didn't dare to give it to him, I was extravagant. You take it, usually buy groceries, and use it for daily life. ”

"No, Auntie, I have."

"You help me take care of Xiao Mu, do you still use your money? Take it, or I'll be. ”

Gu Yihuai had no choice, and after thinking about it, it was for Xiao Muhua anyway, so he put it away.

Xu Lanqing smiled, and chatted with Gu Yihuai reluctantly for a while, and only entered the security check when it was time.

It was already noon when Gu Yihuai returned to school, and Xiao Mu and Meng Ze were still waiting for her. Gu Yihuai cooked, and the three of them finished eating. Gu Yihuai went to class.

Meng Ze was also going to train, Xiao Mu said, "Otherwise, I'll go with you." I'm not bored by myself, you train, I look good. ”

"Okay, can you walk over there?"

"It's too far, I don't know what time it is."

"Then let's go now, I'll push you in a wheelchair."

In the gymnasium, the coach was taking a roll call, "Why is Meng Ze late again?" What time is it? Five laps in one session. ”

At this time, the door of the gymnasium was pushed open, and Meng Ze pushed Xiao Mu and walked in.

The whole team cheered and welcomed their captain.

The coach was also surprised, and greeted him and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I really want to come back and have fun watching you train." Xiao Mu greeted everyone with a smile.

Xiao Mu was on crutches on the sidelines, sometimes shouting tactics, sometimes correcting techniques. Sometimes he called Zhang Liang over and whispered something.

The atmosphere of today's training is unusually good, I haven't seen the captain in the training hall for more than a month, and everyone seems to want to show in front of the captain.

After the training, the coach took everyone to the conference room, "This weekend's game is the last game of this year's group round-robin, and according to the current points, we have locked up the second place in the group. Then in next year's knockout round, we will not have home advantage, and it is very likely that we will meet a strong team in the first round.

However, in the case of Xiao Mu's injury, we were able to achieve this result, and I am very satisfied, and the school leaders are also very satisfied.

Xiao Mu can come over today, I also see that everyone is very happy, we have completed the task of this year's group stage, just waiting for Xiao Mu to return to the team next year, our goal is still the same, to impact the championship.

Today, the school leadership has approved it. After the group competition, everyone began to prepare for the final exam, and before the exam, we trained one-three-five and reviewed the rest of the time. After the school holiday, our basketball team continued to train for half a month, and then went home for the New Year, and returned to the team after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

We have to make good use of this holiday, all the team members train all day, systematic training. No one is allowed to take leave.

Xiao Mu, can you participate in the training camp? You can decide according to your own situation, and the school does not require you to participate in the winter vacation camp. ”

Xiao Mu stood up, "I must be with everyone." ”

"Good!" The whole team erupted in applause.
