"Your grandfather is indeed very sick, but he is very strong, he has been gritting his teeth and holding on, and you have to accompany him well when he wakes up." The tone of the voice is difficult.

Tears rolled in the boy's red eyes, "I will." ”

"Xiao Xu, there is no place to rest in the ward, why don't I go find a guest house first." Wang Dapeng said.

Duan Huan nodded, not to mention that there was no place to rest in the ward, not even a place to put his feet.

At first, the boy was reluctant not to go to the guest house, saying that he wanted him to stay with Tong Shenglin.

In the end, he persuaded him, saying that the temperature was low at night, and it was easy to catch a cold when sleeping on a chair at the door, and if Tong Shenglin knew, he would definitely feel distressed and blame himself, so he followed Duan Huan and Wang Dapeng out of the hospital step by step.

There is a guest house a few dozen meters out of the hospital gate, so you don't have to look for it all over the city in the middle of the night.

Wang Dapeng opened two rooms, and the three of them rested for one night.

At five o'clock in the morning, I went out to exercise under the pretext of exhaustion, and went to the small black market nearby, which is different from other places, and the things sold are quite targeted.

There is nothing else, and the traded goods are basically medicinal supplements and fine grains.

Also, if you are sick, you need to nourish your body, and it is not enough to rely on the hospital's sick meals, but to eat more delicious and nutritious things, it is conducive to the recovery of the disease.

There is nothing lacking in the happy space, but I have to make a good appearance, and I can't conjure food and medicinal herbs out of thin air, but I didn't expect the harvest to be quite good.

She bought a lot of medicinal materials that are only available in the Northeast, not to mention ginseng and deer antlers, as well as two bear bile and more than a pound of snow clams.

The color of these medicinal herbs is very good, so I bought a little more by the way.

I went back with a big bag of things, rented a casserole and stove at the registration office of the guest house, and boiled a pot of japonica rice porridge.

One person shared a bowl of two-sided steamed buns with the guest house, and the remaining part was packed into a lunch box and just brought to the hospital for Tong Shenglin for breakfast.

"Grandpa, are you awake?" The boy staggered into the hospital room.

Tong Shenglin was originally lying down, but he was also surprised to see the boy, he struggled to prop up his head, "Ivan, why are you here?" ”

"Sister Xu brought me here." Little Ivan pointed to Duan Huan and Wang Dapeng.

Wang Dapeng quickly helped Tong Shenglin, and then put the pillow up so that he could lean on.

Tong Shenglin thanked Wang Dapeng, but his gaze stayed on Duan Huan's face, "Little girl, your surname is Xu?" ”

"It seems that Tong Lao guessed who I am?" I put the lunch box on the cupboard.

Tong Shenglin smiled weakly, "You are Lao Xu's great-granddaughter Xiao Yu'er, right?" ”

"Just guess it, you're too old!" Thumbs up.

Tong Shenglin tried to pull up a smile and said: "Your Xu family all look good, you have some similarities with Lao Xu, how is Lao Xu lately?" ”

"Very good, as soon as I received your telegram, my ancestor immediately called me, I happened to be in the capital, and it was much closer to me."

"I've worked hard for you, I'm tired from taking the train, right?"

"I'm not tired, I just caught the plane from the farm to return from the capital, and it took three hours to arrive, but I didn't know that you were in the hospital, and I took the car to the 857 farm and ran away, so it was delayed for another day." Wan Huan shook his head and said.

Tong Shenglin asked Wang Dapeng again, "Then who is this comrade?" ”

"Comrade Wang is my uncle's liaison, and his hometown is also from Jixi, and when he comes back to visit relatives, the two of us just happen to be companions."

"Thank you, Comrade Wang, you're also busy." Tong Shenglin said.

Wang Dapeng waved his hand again and again, "You are polite!" ”

When the two were polite, the doctor and nurse came to patrol the room, and the attending doctor said that Tong Shenglin could eat.

Duan Huan asked Ivan to feed Tong Shenglin porridge, and then followed the doctor out with a bottle of warm water.

"Comrade, you are Tong Shenglin's ......" The doctor knew that Duan Huan was not Tong Shenglin's relative, but before revealing the patient's condition, he still needed to ask about it routinely, which was the basic rule of the doctor.

Tong Shenglin was in the hospital for several days, not only did the people who accompanied him not be attentive, but even the condition was directly communicated with him.

The doctor was also very sympathetic to Tong Shenglin's plight, but he could not cure the terminally ill Tong Shenglin, let alone reverse the social status quo, and could only do his duty in his own work.

"My parents and Tong Lao have been friends for many years, and the elders sent me to take care of Tong Lao, and I was bothered by the doctor to tell me about Tong Lao's condition, and I could report to the elders."

The doctor motioned for Duan Huan to sit down, "Although the heart disease caused by trauma is tricky, surgery could have been done to remove the shrapnel in the body, but Lao Tong's body is too weak to survive the operation." ”

"What if we recuperate and wait until he is well before having surgery? In other words, if it is sent to the capital, the medical equipment and conditions in the capital are relatively better. Wan Huan asked.

The doctor shook his head, "His heart disease can wait, but his liver can't wait, he has liver cancer." ”

"Liver cancer? Early to late? "I already knew about Tong Shenglin's situation, but I still had a glimmer of hope.

Severe liver ascites does not necessarily mean that it is advanced, and if it is an early stage of liver cancer, proper treatment may not be able to prolong life.

The doctor opened his mouth to break Duan Huan's last hope, "In the late stage, it was sent too late, and there was no treatment in the early stage, so the onset of this disease is basically ......."

"Old Tong's spirit is okay, doctor, you can think of a way, although he is now a decentralized molecule, but from the shrapnel left in his chest, you can know that he is also a person who has contributed to the country!" Pleading.

The doctor said with difficulty, "I know, I am also a person who has been delegated and reformed, I understand that it is not easy for Lao Tong, and I also want to cure him, but I am really powerless."

He had only been in a coma for more than a week, and each time it was getting worse and worse, and now he looked like he was in good spirits, and he was completely supported by willpower. ”

As happy and silent, she knew that Tong Shenglin was running out of oil and running out of lights last night, but she thought that she should be able to survive for a while.

But now the doctor says that he has been in a hepatic coma several times, which means that the rest of the time will be really short, very short.

"Lao Tong's current situation is like this, instead of treating and increasing his pain, it is better for you to accompany him through the last journey, and you are also ready for what will happen after death." The doctor sighed.

This is the most cruel part of the doctor's profession, obviously I can't bear it, but I have to read out the critical illness notice to the patient's family.

She has been studying medicine for so long, she understands the difficulties of doctors, and she can control her emotions.

However, some patients' family members can't understand, and of course they can't be so calm, and family members who are too grieving will cry in pain, collapse and scream, and some will even kneel down and beg the doctor to pester.

Duan Huan thanked the doctor, walked out of the doctor's office with a warm water bottle, and as soon as he went out, he saw Ivan hiding by the door frame.

"Sister Xu, is what the doctor said true? Is my grandfather really bad? Ivan looked up with tears on his face.

Duan Huan took out a handkerchief from his satchel and wiped his face.

"You heard it all, I won't lie to you, your grandfather is indeed running out of time, so you have to accompany him to take care of him more, so that he can live his last days happily and comfortably, I know you are a strong little man, you can do it, right?"

Ivan snorted, "Yes, I can do it!" ”

"Okay, the little man can't shed tears, let's go wash our faces first, and then go to see grandpa in good spirits."
