Chapter 3: A Familiar and Strange Father
After a commotion outside, a group of men in white coats soon rushed in. The first to enter the ward was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old who had begun to go bald, followed by seven or eight young people who looked like students, and two young and beautiful nurses in nurses' uniforms. The old man came to Tan Renjie's hospital bed and asked softly, "Is there any place for the young man to feel unwell?" "Except for some pain in the back of my head and some hunger, I don't seem to have any discomfort." Tan Renjie replied. "You've been asleep for 5 days and it's normal for you to feel hungry, but now you can only eat liquid foods that help with digestion. You are also really lucky, you met a driver who is a responsible person, the first time to take the initiative to drive you to the hospital, your main injury is in the back of the head, if a little later you may die! The old doctor said. The old doctor carefully looked at Tan Renjie to see the recovery degree of the other wounds on his body, and then said to Tan's father: "It's nothing big when you wake up, the other wounds are recovering well, but the main wound is in the back of the head, so I'll go to Tan Renjie for a brain examination in a few days." Mild concussion may appear at first glance. Specifically, the results of the report to be checked will come out. Father Tan hurriedly replied to the old doctor: "Got it, Dr. Feng, thank you, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I won't see this child again." "No thanks, I said this kid is lucky. Not only because he was sent in time, but also because he was lucky, I said when I operated on him that the child's life was saved, but whether he could wake up depends on his own creation, because it hurt the brain, so it is very likely that he will never wake up, but he woke up after only five days. The old man said. Okay, let's not talk about it, I still have patients to see, and you see there is a large group of students waiting for me in the back. I won't bother. "Okay, Doctor Liu, go get busy!" Father replied. Dr. Liu went out with his students, leaving only his father and two nurses.
The two nurses began to give Tan Renjie an infusion, and Tan Renjie looked at this father who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to stare at his father in a daze. After the two nurses also finished the infusion, they explained some precautions to their father and went out. Now only Tan Renjie and Tan Renjie's father and the old man in the next bed who was woken up after the old doctor entered the ward. The atmosphere in the ward was a little awkward. At this time, it was the father who first broke the embarrassing atmosphere and said to Tan Renjie: "Look, I was so excited when I saw you wake up, and I haven't told the people at home yet, since your accident, your mother and I have come back from the plane immediately, your mother is still taking care of your younger brother at home, and your younger brother also went back to school two days ago, I immediately called them to tell them." It also makes them happy and happy, just now you also said that you were hungry, I asked your mother to make porridge for you, and bring it by the way. After saying that, my father walked out with a happy face and made a phone call.
When his father walked out of the ward, the old grandfather who had been watching all this from the side spoke to Tan Renjie: "Young man, I feel okay now!" There's nothing wrong with you, right? ”
"Much better, thank you grandpa for your concern!" Tan Renjie replied.
The old man said again, "You know what? Ever since you came to this ward after the surgery, I have seen your parents taking turns taking care of you, and while taking care of you, I see on their faces with worry, regret, and self-blame. Your parents and your brother have told you a lot of things about you so that you can wake up. I can also tell from what they say that they love you and care about you, but they are not good at expressing it. ”
"Hmmm! I see, thank you, grandpa! It's just that I haven't seen my dad for more than half a year, and I just woke up, and I'm still in a bit of a trance, so I don't know what to say just now. Tan Renjie said.
At this time, Tan Renjie's father also finished the call, and when he entered the ward, he saw the old man and Tan Renjie chatting, so he asked, "What is Renjie talking to Old Man Liu about?" What a great chat! ”
"Just now the old man asked me how I felt! We chatted! Tan Renjie replied.
Tan Renjie said to Liu Lao again: "It turns out that grandpa, your surname is Liu, can I call you Grandpa Liu!" ”
Liu Lao replied, "Yes." ”
"Grandpa Liu, why did you enter the hospital?"
"I, I'm old and useless, I fell down the stairs at home a few days ago when I broke my foot, and now I have a broken leg." Liu Lao replied.
"Grandpa Liu, why haven't I seen your family?" Tan Renjie continued to ask.
Grandpa Liu said: "My wife died of illness at an early age, and now I only have a son and a daughter, the eldest son is married in the United States, and the daughter-in-law is a second-generation Chinese who works in a newspaper. He himself seems to be an NBA athlete economist. “
"NBA Agent!" Tan Renjie exclaimed.
"Yes! They told me to go to their place to play before I got hurt. I said I wasn't used to it, it was full of foreigners and there wasn't even anyone to talk to. Then I broke my leg and he said he was coming to see me, and I said a little injury, it's fine. You don't have to come all the way back from the United States. Speaking of which, I also have a grandson who is about the same age as you, named Liu Kai, who goes to high school in the United States, but unfortunately he is too far away in the United States and can't see each other a few times a year. I also have a daughter who works in a bank, she married a woman who works in a state-owned enterprise, and gave birth to a girl who is about the same age as you, and is in the third year of high school in Yunxian No. 1 Senior High School, and I am now living with my daughter. Usually they are very busy with work and study, so they don't have time to come to see me, my daughter only comes after work in the afternoon, and my granddaughter has to study at night in the evening, so she can only come to see me on weekends. “
"Grandpa Liu, your granddaughter is also in the third year of high school in Yunxian No. 1 Senior High School?" Tan Renjie asked in surprise.
"Yes, speaking of which, you still know that you are in the same class as you, and this Liu Lao is Li Na's grandfather." Father laughed
Tan Renjie suddenly remembered from the memory of the original owner of this body who this Li Na was, she was the class flower of their class, she was good-looking and a top student, and about half of the boys in the class had a crush on her. And she has always been focused on studying. The original Tan Renjie's grades were relatively poor, and he also liked to sleep in class, he felt that he and this kind of goddess-level people from two worlds, so Tan Renjie didn't have any feelings for Li Na.
"Speaking of fate, the last time my daughter and son-in-law came to see me, my granddaughter also came with me, but I was surprised to see Ren Jie, you are in the same ward as me, so I told us that you are classmates. It just so happened that your parents were there, so they heard it. When this weekend comes, she'll come back to see me. Liu Lao continued with his father.
Tan Renjie, Liu Lao and his father chatted in the ward like this. In this atmosphere of chatting, the strangeness with my father gradually dissipated, and it may be that I was influenced by the original owner and began to accept this familiar and unfamiliar father.
