Chapter 27: The Reason for the Heart to Keep Beating
Like Meng Zhiyang, Lian Wuyi arrived at the nursing home an hour early today, because she needed to return to the apartment from the nursing home early to clean and tidy up, and then prepare dinner well.
She first went to the ward of her grandfather and Aunt Sleeping Beauty to do what she had to do, and finally came to Mother Lian.
While helping Lian Mu pour out the chicken soup, Lian Wuyi was thinking about compromising and taking away the thermos pot when Meng Zhiyang went out in the morning, and she had the audacity to ask him if he wanted to go home for dinner in the evening. She thought he would refuse, but he said he would come back as early as possible, which meant that he would go home for dinner.
Because he was willing to come back for dinner, Lian Wuyi's mood had always been faintly excited, no, she was not faintly excited, but very excited.
Not only did he take the lunch box she had prepared, but when he looked at her and told her that he would come back as soon as possible, Lian Wuyi had the feeling that his husband was explaining his schedule to his wife, which was why Lian Wuyi was unconsciously excited.
But she suddenly thought that she had made up her mind not to be greedy for Meng Zhiyang's feelings, but when she turned her head, she was happy because of his little bit of good face.
Lian's mother has been looking at Lian Wuyi, she feels that today's state of Lian Wuyi is obviously different, she finds that her daughter exudes a little sweetness, but she is a little absent-minded.
Just thinking like this, Lian's mother saw that the chicken soup poured by Lian Wuyi was about to overflow, and she hurriedly reminded:
"Wuyi, don't pour it again, the soup is about to overflow!"
Lian Wuyi came back to her senses because of Lian's mother's reminder, she put down the thermos pot, and looked at the soup in the bowl, it was really almost full.
"Wuyi, what's wrong with you today, why are you a little absent-minded, aren't you too tired?"
Lian's mother looked at Lian Wuyi with concern on her face, afraid that she was really tired.
"I'm fine, Mom, I just flashed my head."
Lian Wuyi said as she picked up the soup spoon and asked Lian Mu to drink the soup, she quickly let herself temporarily put aside her thoughts about Meng Zhiyang and concentrate on accompanying Lian Mu.
Lian's mother listened to Lian Wuyi's words lightly, but how could she not understand the children she raised!
"Wuyi, although my mother can't help you with anything now, my mother still hopes to know about your life outside."
"But my mother knows everything, and I don't have anything that my mother doesn't know."
Lian Wuyi smiled sweetly at Lian's mother, she now only reports good news and not bad news to Lian's mother.
And to be honest, she doesn't have any difficulties that she can't get over now, and naturally she has nothing to say.
After taking a sip of soup, Lian's mother also smiled and said:
"That's hard to say, mom doesn't live with you every day now, if you don't tell me something, I definitely don't know, such as ......."
Lian's mother smiled but didn't finish her words, but Lian Wuyi heard that Lian's mother still wanted to inquire about her, and she didn't think Lian's mother would ask more, so she asked:
"Like what, what does mom want to know?"
Mother Lian looked at Lian Wuyi with some amusement, and replied with a smile:
"For example, whether you have someone you like, or have you started to fall in love, these mothers want to know."
Lian Wuyi's face flushed slightly, because of Lian's mother's words, she immediately remembered Meng Zhiyang, but she couldn't tell Lian Mu the truth, she could only take the aisle at will:
"How can I have time to think about this now, my mother and grandfather are just stable now, even if I want to fall in love, I can talk about it later, now my mother and grandfather are the most important thing for me."
Although Lian Wuyi knows that she has someone she likes in her heart, she also knows that her mother and grandfather are also very important to her. Therefore, she will not neglect these two important relatives because of other things.
"Your grandfather and I eat well and sleep well here, and we don't need your special care. And I feel that I am getting better and better, and after a while, I think we will not spend this unjust money, and be discharged directly from the hospital, so that your burden can be reduced a lot, and you don't have to run here every day. ”
Recently, Lian's mother has been thinking about being discharged from the hospital, and after the operation, if it wasn't for Lian Wuyi, she said that she was allowed to live in because she needed to be taken care of, and Lian Wuyi said that she wanted to go out to make money, and she had to take care of two people who needed to be taken care of, and she couldn't take care of it alone.
She felt sorry for Lian Wuyi, and thought that she had finally picked up a life, and if something happened halfway, it would make her daughter even more unhappy.
So, she agreed to live in, but she didn't expect that it would be four or five months, and although her body was still a little weak, her normal activities had no effect at all.
If she doesn't work herself too hard and stays at home after being discharged from the hospital, it's actually no different from being in a nursing home.
Mother Lian naturally thought this way to make Lian Wuyi more relaxed, but Lian Wuyi refused:
"Mom, it's easy to say anything else, but it's definitely not okay to be discharged from the hospital, at least not now. Although you seem to be recovering well now, the doctor also said that some indicators of your physical examination are not qualified enough, and you still need to continue professional recuperation. ”
"How can anyone meet the standard of all indicators, even if there is, not everyone can meet the standard, let alone someone like me who has been seriously ill."
Lian's mother felt that Lian Wuyi was making too much of a fuss, but it was just that some trace elements were not up to standard, and it would not constitute a reason for not being discharged from the hospital.
"Mom, you yourself said that you were seriously ill, so you can't compare with ordinary people. In other words, if you don't meet the physical examination standards, you have to continue to recuperate, and you can't be sloppy. ”
"But ......."
"No, but now that I'm your guardian, I said you can't leave the sanatorium. I know you are distressed about money, but I said it, I can make money now, I have time to accompany you and grandpa in the sanatorium in the morning, go back to the young master's house of the Meng family in the afternoon to clean up the house, and I can still make money as a translator in the evening, such a good arrangement, you don't know how happy I am, if you have to be discharged from the hospital, where can I go out to work with peace of mind? ”
Lian Wuyi deliberately made a serious face, she had to let Lian's mother understand that she was serious about wanting Lian's mother to continue to live in the nursing home, otherwise, Lian's mother would really make trouble and be discharged from the hospital.
She didn't want Lian's mother to be discharged from the hospital, firstly, because she was now living in the degree house, and secondly, she might have to marry Meng Zhiyang soon.
She didn't know what the three-year marriage between her and Meng Zhiyang would be, and if Lian's mother found out that something was wrong, she would definitely blame herself, and she would blame herself for dragging her down.
She just didn't want Lian's mother to worry so she arranged for her to live in a sanatorium to recuperate, and if she paid off the favor of the Mengjia family after three years at most, she would take Lian's mother away.
Lian's mother didn't know about the "deal" between Lian Wuyi and the Meng family from beginning to end, and she always thought that the cost of the sanatorium was reduced by half because of the relationship between the Meng family, and the other half was paid by Lian Wuyi with his own money.
She looked at Lian Wuyi's stubborn and serious face, and knew that it was useless for her to insist, so she didn't raise the matter of the hospital for the time being, so she compromised and appeased Lian Wuyi and said:
"Mom, listen to you, don't worry, you said you can be discharged from the hospital, and I will be discharged again."
"Well, this is the obedient mother!"
Lian Wuyi listened to Lian's mother agree to continue living, and she regained her smile with peace of mind.
Mother Lian smiled and stopped talking about being discharged from the hospital, but she suddenly remembered another thing, so she asked again:
"Wuyi, I heard that you have been going to ward eight recently to help take care of the patient who can't wake up, right?"
"Well, she doesn't seem to have a family, I think she's so pitiful, although she can't wake up, but her heart is still beating, I believe her heart is not only beating, but must be alive."
Speaking of the Sleeping Beauty Aunt, Lian Wuyi guessed that Aunt Sleeping Beauty couldn't wake up in her brain but still insisted on beating her heart for so many years and didn't give up, there must be a reason why she had to insist, maybe she had an unknown story.
If that's the case, she really hopes that Aunt Sleeping Beauty can wake up one day, and even more so that she can continue her unfinished story.
Lian's mother has lived here for so long, and she is on the same floor as the patient in ward eight, so she has naturally heard the story of that patient, and she is also very sympathetic.
"I also went to see her yesterday, and it was indeed very pitiful, compared to the decades she had been lying down, my sin was not serious."
When people are compared, no matter whether they are better or worse, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always people who are worse than you.
Lian's mother originally thought of her life, but when her husband did not do his job and became ruthless and unjust, she was seriously ill and was ruthlessly abandoned by him, she felt that her life was too wronged.
But now that I think about it, she doesn't have a reliable husband, but she has a reliable daughter. The daughter's filial piety is worth all the regrets.
Compared to the helpless patient, there is no family, no friends. But she herself has a daughter who accompanies her every day to ask for warmth, and she is much better in comparison.
Lian's mother said that she went to see Aunt Sleeping Beauty, Lian Wuyi was slightly stunned, and asked:
"Mom, you're also going to see Aunt Sleeping Beauty?"
"I also heard from the nurse that you went to take care of the patients in Ward 8, and I was a little curious so I went to take a look, thinking that you have worked hard enough, and you have to spend time taking care of someone you don't know, I am worried that you are too reluctant to force yourself."
Lian Wuyi is careful to be kind and Lian's mother knows, but it is always herself who is too kind and tired. Sometimes Lian's mother doesn't want her daughter to be too kind, and hopes that she can be selfish, so that she can feel better.
"I can't actually be considered a caretaker, because of Brother Cheng's help, the nursing home applied for a part of the subsidy from the government, and part of the cost was borne by the Cheng Foundation, so Aunt Sleeping Beauty is still enjoying the professional care of the nursing home as before. I just went to talk to her and read books, and I didn't really help much with other professional nursing. ”
Before, Lian Wuyi thought that he had borne all the expenses of Aunt Sleeping Beauty. However, he told her that he only helped the nursing home apply for the cost of Aunt Sleeping Beauty, and he did not pay for it.
The degree of not paying for it made Lian Wuyi feel less guilty, and she was really afraid that she had spent a lot of money because of her request.
Lian's mother also heard from the nurse that the vegetative person named Lin Aiyuan would not have to worry about the cost of the sanatorium in the future, and she should be able to be taken care of by the sanatorium until the end of her life in the future.
However, as long as Lian Wuyi did not force himself to take care of people he didn't know, Lian's mother did not object, she looked at Lian Wuyi and said:
"As long as you don't get tired to the point that your mother has no opinion, your mother will go to see her when she is idle, and don't let her be so lonely."
"Well, I see that Aunt Sleeping Beauty is about the same age as her mother, so my mother should be a friend, and I can go to talk to Aunt Sleeping Beauty if I have nothing to do."
As soon as Lian Wuyi finished speaking, a doctor and nurse came into Lian's mother's ward. Nurse Lian Wuyi knew that it was Nurse Liu, who was responsible for taking care of Lian's mother, but the young doctor Lian Wuyi didn't know.
However, Lian Wuyi soon remembered that he should be the doctor in charge of Lian's mother's physical condition, and the original Dr. Zhang left the nursing home due to job transfer.
Nurse Liu had already greeted their mother and daughter in advance, and thought that this young doctor who looked sunny was the new doctor.
