Chapter III: Town Health Centers

Although he worked a night shift last night, got off work in the morning, and was busy for most of the day, Wen Xu, who resigned from the textile factory, was still so excited that he couldn't sleep.

The results of the college entrance examination are out, and he will have to consider what school to apply for and what major to choose.

So, Wen Xu frantically tutored the common sense of various schools and majors all afternoon.

In summer, the days are particularly long and the nights come late.

In the evening, Wen Xu's father went to the vegetable market to buy a few good dishes, and after Wen Xu's mother's cooking, it was very delicious.

At the dinner table, no one spoke, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wen Xu and his grandfather, parents, and younger brother were very happy.

Wen Xu's family has a total of seven people, in addition to grandparents, parents, Wen Xu also has a younger sister and a younger brother.

My sister is a year younger than him, and if she is still studying, she should be in her third year of high school.

His younger brother is six years younger than him, and he is already in his second year of junior high school, but he is only in his second year of junior high school.

After dinner, my mother looked at Wen Xu and said, "Let's go see your grandma in the hospital tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Wen Xu hurriedly agreed.

After taking a simple bath, Wen Xu quickly fell asleep.

Summer nights, very short.

But Wen Xu's night was very long.

It wasn't until the sun was on the next day that Wen Xu woke up.

After lunch, Wen Xu took the lunch box and followed his grandfather to the hospital where his grandmother lived.

Wen Xu's father has four siblings in his family, and his father is the eldest in the family.

Wen Xu also has two uncles and an aunt.

The hospital is very close to Wen Xu's house, and the responsibility of cooking and delivering meals naturally falls on Wen Xu's parents.

My grandparents usually live in the village.

This time, my grandmother was sick, and there was no farm work at home, so my grandfather came to the hospital to take care of my grandmother.

I went downstairs, walked a hundred steps, walked out of the yard, and then crossed the road, diagonally opposite the hospital.

As soon as I walked into the hospital, the smell of disinfectant water in the air rushed to my face, and it smelled weird.

On the second floor, the smell is even greater.

The hallway on the second floor is a bit dim, with only some faint sunlight shining in.

The corridor is not long, and you can see the end at a glance.

Walking with his grandfather in the corridor on the second floor, Wen Xudong looked up.

In some rooms, the door was open, and the nurse inside was giving an injection to a seven or eight-year-old boy, and the boy's mother was gently comforting him.

Some of the doors were closed, and no sound came from inside, so I could only guess what might be happening inside.

Some of the doors were ajar, and there were middle-aged women in their thirties and forties, uncles in their eighties and nineties, and young men in their twenties.

Soon, Wen Xu and his grandfather came to the door of ward 213 where grandma lived.

At this time, Ward 213 was ajar and quiet.

Grandpa gently pushed open the door and leaned sideways to let Wen Xu go in first.

The sunlight came in through the window, and the light was pale and bright, a little harsh.

Wen Xu squinted his eyes and saw his grandmother at a glance.

Wen Xu's grandmother was sixty-four years old at the time, but her sparse silver-gray hair and skinny appearance made her look even older.

"Grandma." Wen Xu's voice made the old man who was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and resting slowly opened his eyes, until he saw that it was her grandson, and a shallow smile appeared on his thin face with difficulty.

Wen Xu walked a few steps quickly, put the lunch box on the small wooden table next to the hospital bed, turned around slightly, stretched out his hands, and helped his grandmother to sit up slowly.
