"Jojo, you're really okay."

I smiled at my mother soothingly, "It's okay." ”

She has been asking all the way down the mountain, after all, my reaction at that moment is not deceiving, but I don't want to tell my mother too much, after all, she doesn't understand, she will only worry if she says too much, I look at it more openly, what a big catastrophe or a small catastrophe I have encountered too many over the years, and I know in my heart that it should be mine, I can only face it, plus this year is the year of my life, it is already bumpy, since my life is ill-fated, and I can't find a gentleman to show myself, then I still want to do these laborious things.

I didn't rush back to Anton, but drove directly to the new house with my mother, the new house is the house that Xu Gang helped build for my family, with red tiles and white walls, it is really a new look, but when I think about it, this house is now a formality, and it is a pity that no one lives.

After entering the door, Xu Gang handed me the key, and said in his mouth: "Jiaolong, it's good for you to come back, you can put away the door of your house and the key to the back room by yourself...... By the way, there is also this passbook, the password is zero, and there is still some money left over after the money you gave me is repaired, and I have saved it in the passbook, I know that you will definitely come back today to give your grandmother a grave, and I have been carrying it on my body. ”

I took the key and pushed the passbook back into Xu Gang's hand: "Uncle Xu, I can't ask for this money, this house is not just a matter of talking, and the decoration is also what you keep an eye on me, don't be polite to me, I can't afford to pay you back, if you give me the money again, then I will be even more embarrassed." ”

Xu Gang was a little anxious: "That's okay, it's not a small amount, one yard is one yard, I can't ask you for this money......"

"Brother Xu, you can take it, our house is really thanks to you, if you don't accept it, we really don't know how to thank you."

"Hui Juan'er, it's not like this, it's Jiaolong who has helped me a lot, if it weren't for her, my family would be gone!"

I shook his hand: "Uncle Xu, Aunt Yanhong's situation is that it costs money to see a doctor, you can take it, let's not be so polite!" ”

After pushing back and forth for a while, Uncle Xu sighed: "Jiaolong, uncle, uncle thank you." ”

"Uncle Xu, it's me who wants to thank you!"

I emphasized that in general, I called and commanded matters such as Shangliang and decoration, but it was Uncle Xu who really helped before and after, although he was also a villager who helped to hire, but who built a house without worrying, especially in this house is spotless now, at first glance, there are often people who come to clean, and a house also needs to be maintained frequently, so I can't let Uncle Xu's heart be tired: "Uncle Xu, this window is very bright, you have to take care of Aunt Yanhong, and you have to help clean it, you bother." ”

Xu Gang smiled embarrassedly: "How can I clean up so carefully, this is all done by the big girl, she came over to clean the windows and mop the floor when she was fine, so she laid the foundation, and I just cleaned up the floating ashes." ”

Xu Meijin?

Saying that it was false to say that I was not touched, I nodded slightly: "Oh, big girl...... Still at home? ”

Xu Gang shook his head: "No, I left some money a while ago and left, saying that I was going to go abroad, and I would gain a firm foothold over there in the future, and then take me over, and she would take care of Xiaohu's tuition and living expenses in the future, but ...... I don't really want to go, although when I was younger, I really wanted to go to the United States to see something, but now that I'm older and have land, I don't want to go. ”

She's going abroad? It seems that this time it has nothing to do with me at all.

Chatting for a while, I feel that it is not early and we are ready to go back, the brand new house was locked again, I looked back and looked carefully, I can no longer see what I lived in when I was a child, the house is too new, the new is like a life you have to turn over, those past things, more and more blurred.

Aunt Yanhong leaned on the door of her home and looked at us and smirked, Xu Gang said Jiaolong, you often come back to see it, she repeated, Jiaolong, you often come back to see, which made Xu Gang particularly helpless, and couldn't help but exit before getting into the car: "Jiaolong, can you contact Linlin." ”

"Xu Linlin? Didn't she call you? ”

Xu Gang sighed: "It was all her on TV before, I sent her two calls to ask her to come back to see her mother, she said she was busy, saying that she was going to a foreign country to make a movie or something, don't look at your Aunt Yanhong is crazy now, in fact, I still have the most Linlin in my heart, and when I have nothing to do, I just talk in my mouth, saying that Linlin wants to take an exam, and I have to make her something delicious to supplement her brain, but Linlin's recent phone call can't get through, and I can't watch it on TV, so I'm anxious, is she really going abroad, can you help me see, where is she going, Why can I come back? ”

Before I could speak, Aunt Yanhong at the door covered her mouth and laughed: "Linlin is coming back, she is coming back, she will fly back." ”

Xu Gang glanced at her helplessly: "Yes, can't you fly back when you go abroad, don't I let you see it, you didn't look at it during the New Year, this child is too busy." ”

I think what Aunt Yanhong said is some kind of omen, don't look at some people crazy, the thinking line is different from ordinary people, but the sixth sense we often say, they are indeed very accurate, and I estimated the days, Xu Linlin's most beautiful is only three months, it should be the period around the New Year, and it is indeed almost time now.

"Uncle, her situation may not be good, you should be mentally prepared."

"Huh? Jiaolong, what do you mean, Linlin is going to have an accident. ”

I nodded: "The thing she raised is not good, but I should remind her and remind her, you know that my relationship with Xu Linlin has always been relatively poor, she just went the wrong way, and she won't listen to me." ”

Xu Gang was a little ignorant: "Jiaolong, can't you help her, although she is not my own girl, but I have always regarded her as my own, and I can't just watch her have an accident." ”

I let out a breath and shook my head: "You know her better than I do, and you know that she won't listen to people's persuasion...... I'm leaving, Uncle Xu, and I'm calling for something. ”

Uncle Xu wanted to say something, but he probably knew that it was useless to look for me about Xu Linlin's matter, so he waved his hand: "Alas, be careful, Hui Juan'er, come back often!" ”

Aunt Yanhong was still laughing on the side, "Come back often!" ”

The car drove farther and farther, until the rearview mirror could not see the figure, I sighed softly, the next time Xu Gang contacted Xu Linlin, it was probably a notice to Xu Linlin to do a funeral, although I hated her, and even felt that she was completely self-inflicted, but dead people are always sad.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang, put on the headphones, glanced at the caller ID, and picked it up directly: "Hello, Dr. Han." ”

"Well, hello, I want to ask when you will come back, your grandfather's illness needs to be discussed with you in detail."

"Oh, I'll be able to go back in two days."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and meet and talk in detail."

"Well, goodbye."

……

Three days later, the doctor's office.

"Doctor Han, do you mean that if my grandfather didn't have surgery, he would have completely collapsed in bed, right?"

Han Zheng looked at me with a serious face and nodded slightly: "Yes, as long as the femoral head is slightly deformed, we can repair its weight-bearing capacity through surgery, and we will not consider hip replacement unless it is absolutely necessary, but your grandfather is bilateral, one side can be treated conservatively, but the other side, the wear is very serious, if you continue to stay in bed for a long time, considering your grandfather's own age and physical recovery ability, his side of the leg that does not need to be replaced will gradually lose the ability to walk." ”

I understand this, muscles have memory, in local dialect is to stretch the tendons, although for the time being it is a slightly better leg and a leg that cannot walk, but the longer you stay in bed, the more hard that leg will become, and the last two legs are not good.

"Jiaolong, there is another point you must think clearly, this artificial hip joint is not permanent, the patient I have seen has lasted for up to twenty years, this is still the best postoperative healing without falling off, and some man-made trauma, but no matter how many years, it needs to be maintained by a second operation, first of all, without considering the pain and cost that the patient needs to bear, just talk about your grandfather's physical condition, although he is now eligible for surgery, but this is not a minor disease, surgery, Placement of artificial hip joint and bone cement, it will aggravate the wear and tear of your grandfather's own bone condition, according to your grandfather's age analysis, the postoperative success, he will have to be admitted to the hospital again within ten years for repair. ”

I raised my eyes and looked at him: "Doctor Han, if you don't have surgery, my grandfather can't do anything else." ”

Han Zheng shook his head: "If you want to stand up, you must replace the unilateral artificial hip joint, but the risk also exists, and the hospital mainly respects the opinions of patients and their families, so whether you choose surgery or conservative treatment, as a doctor or a friend, I must make you clear about the potential harm of the two options." ”

I took a deep breath and bit my lip gently, "I can't let my grandfather be paralyzed on the bed like this, it's not a matter of a day or two, it will seriously affect his mood." ”

Han Zheng nodded: "This is also my idea, your grandfather has been in the hospital for so long, to regulate his body, the purpose of our treatment is also to hope that he can meet the standard of surgery, after all, lying in bed, this kind of psychological pressure is very great, and in the long run, the patient will definitely have negative emotions." ”

"But what about my grandfather's Alzheimer's disease, will it aggravate his condition?"

This is also what I am most concerned about.

The corners of Han Zheng's mouth pursed slightly, "We will minimize the risk, but no one dares to guarantee the extent of the damage now, but you can rest assured, whether it is preoperative anesthesia or postoperative medication, I will strictly control and try to avoid what you are worried about, your grandfather's comprehensive physical condition is still good at present, but if you choose not to operate, this kind of pain will make the patient gradually rely on painkillers, and you must be clear about the harm of taking painkillers for a long time, so the two parties weigh it, I think you have to think it through. ”

I think Han was very aware of my concerns, and nodded: "Then during the period when my grandfather was hospitalized, did he have any thoughts on his own?" "I want to know what my grandfather and the doctor said.

"He doesn't operate."

Han Zheng looked at me concisely: "Your grandfather said that he didn't want to burden your finances, but your grandfather has also been trying to walk on crutches on his own, and he wants to stand up, in other words, the patients I have seen are not a last resort, and they don't want to lie on the hospital bed." ”

I knew it in my heart and gritted my teeth: "I agree to the operation!" ”

Han Zheng nodded: "Okay, this is also my opinion, without surgery, it will only aggravate his condition, and the femoral head of his right leg is not suitable for conservative treatment." ”

I know what Han Zheng said euphemistically, but after this pass, I know that which of these two choices is risky, according to grandpa's character, he will definitely not be willing to lie down like this, but without surgery, he will be completely disabled, and there are risks in surgery, but I choose to let my grandfather stand up, I have less time at home, and he can't walk when he lies at home, isn't that indirectly asking for his life!

"I will finalize the operation schedule according to your grandfather's physical condition in the next few days, can you make this decision, do you need to consult other relatives in your family, for example, your mother?"

I shook my head: "No, my mother is still in Anton's hometown, and she discussed this matter with me a long time ago, and I will make up my mind." ”

"That's fine, but you have to do your grandfather's work, so that he doesn't have ideological pressure, I, as the chief surgeon, I am still very confident in this operation."

I got up and said, "Thank you, Dr. Han." ”

His temperament makes people feel a little alienated, and his tone has always been light, which may also be due to his own personality, but it makes me feel very relieved to hand over my grandfather to him, and I am secretly sure that this operation will be successful.

"Don't be so polite, aside from the fact that you are Danfeng's friend, it is also my responsibility and obligation as a doctor to treat patients."

I smiled lightly: "Anyway, my grandfather has lived in the courtyard for so long, and it bothers you, and I can be regarded as walking through Danfeng's back door...... However, she hasn't been in touch with me much lately, and I can't get through when I come back to call her, so what is she busy with now? ”

Han Zheng frowned slightly, "Don't you know about her." ”

My heart tightened: "Don't scare me, what's wrong with Danfeng!" ”

"Don't be so nervous, if something really happens to her, I won't stay in the hospital with peace of mind, it's her father, there was an accident."

"Her father, what an accident."

Han Zheng lowered his eyes, his expression revealed a trace of self-blame: "Traffic accident, last month, he may have checked Danfeng's mobile phone, knowing that the two of us have not broken up, Danfeng had a quarrel with her father, and the next day, her father had an accident on the way to the company, was seriously injured, and died on the spot." ”

"Danfeng's father died?"

I looked at Han Zheng in disbelief, thinking about it carefully, it seems that Rong Danfeng called me when my mother committed suicide, she was indeed a little depressed, but at that time, I just cared about snatching the sleeping pills in my mother's hand, and hung up without saying a word to her, I didn't expect that she also suffered such a thing? She must have known that I wasn't in a good mood, so she didn't tell me.

What kind of years and months, how can you run into such a thing!

"Yes, I thought that according to her relationship with you, she would definitely tell you, she was in a bad mood at that time, I persuaded her to change her mind, after all, I always felt a little too impulsive about this plan between her and Zhuo Jing, but she said that it was already today, she must insist, let me leave her alone, her family probably saw that she was too depressed and took her out for a walk."

I opened my mouth: "She must be very self-reproachful, her father loves her very much." ”

Han Zheng's eyes were actually a little red, nodded his head, and said softly: "It's my fault, in love, Danfeng is braver than me, and she pays more than me." ”

I don't know what to comfort him, in the matter of Zhuo Jing's cooperation with Rong Danfeng, I stand on the same position as him, we both want to be with the people we love, but sometimes we are passive.

He walked out of his doctor's office in a mess, and as soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he saw his grandfather skimming out a bunch of carnations with water on their roots from the hospital bed: "Throw this thing away for me!" “

Aunt Sun stood helplessly beside her: "Old man, what's wrong with you, how good these flowers are, they can also cultivate their sentiments when they are put away!" ”

"I don't like it!"

Grandpa replied stubbornly and stiffly like a child: "Don't let him send it again!" Send as much as I give, I throw as much as I want! ”

I walked in a few steps: "Grandpa, do you not like carnations or people who don't like to send flowers!" ”

"I don't like it! I like potted flowers, I don't like this kind of water that rots in a few days! ”

"Zhuo Jing didn't give you a pot because the meaning was not good, he was afraid that you would take root after a long illness!!"

I snorted and replied, stepped forward and inserted the flowers directly into the vase, what I didn't expect was that Zhuo Jing actually came to see my grandfather by himself, according to Aunt Sun's description that Zhuo Jing came when the etiquette was not ambiguous in all aspects, it was a self-reported home, but grandpa didn't give him a good face, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep as soon as he came, Zhuo Jing couldn't come every day because of work, so he sent someone to send flowers on time, when I didn't come back before, Aunt Sun said that although grandpa didn't care about the flowers, he didn't throw them out, until I came back, Grandpa also threw it away, and he threw it to me, the old boy is really his kind of thing!

Because Zhuo Jing never said this when he went to see me in Anton and called me, I really didn't know that he had happened to my grandfather when I was at home, if I hadn't come back and Aunt Sun told me, I wouldn't have known that my grandfather would show him such a face!

"Then I don't like him either, I just don't like him! You've got a crush on him! And no jokes either! Where is it compared to the white! ”

"But I like it! You have to tell jokes, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, I have no opinion if you like Cheng Baize, but can you not mix me and Cheng Baize together! ”

Grandpa saw that I was angry, and snorted and didn't speak: "I don't like to tell you this, you might as well not come back, you might as well be angry with me when you come back, by the way, you let that Zhuo or something, don't let him come to see me, I don't want to see him!" ”

"Why are you so colorful, old man, people still see that you are wrong!"

Grandpa raised his eyebrows: "If he has the ability, he will come every day, like Xiaobai, what time is it, it's six forty, right, seven o'clock, Xiaobai will arrive!" This is called filial piety! That's what Zhuo is trying to fool you! ”

"Old man, don't quarrel with Xiaolin, don't you talk about it every day if she doesn't come back, let's talk about that Zhuo Jing, he said that he was going to go to the field during this time, so he couldn't come to see you every day, people have explained to you, he is a big boss, he must be ...... than Xiaobai"

"Little Sun! What's wrong with you! You're still yearning for Zhuo or something! What's wrong with his big boss, I'm not rare! I'm not unfamiliar with his flowers, I just want a grandson-in-law who is really good to my granddaughter! Besides, just because he is the big boss, I can't agree, who knows when he will change his mind, and how will my Jiaolong be rectified at that time! ”

I held my forehead, tried to calm myself down, and then brewed my emotions and walked to my grandfather's bedside, "Grandpa, let's not talk about this first, I told Dr. Han, let him give the operation time, and your leg will be able to walk in the future." ”

"I don't have surgery!" Grandpa's tone was resolute: "A dozen anesthetics for surgery are like dead people, and I will never do surgery!" ”

"Grandpa, if you don't have surgery, you won't be able to get up!!"

"Yes, old man, you are noisy and painful every day, and you can't sleep all night after night, so hurry up and get the operation done."

Aunt Sun also persuaded beside her, "My relatives at home have also had necrosis of the femoral head, and they can be on crutches after surgery, and then they have been raised for a period of time, and they can walk without crutches, except for being careful and not letting the seat pay more attention, the others are the same as normal people, if you lie on the bed, it will hurt a lot, where are you still in the mood to play with flowers and plants, Xiaolin will be more capable in the future, and it is inconvenient to take you to where to wander around." ”

Grandpa was silent, but his face was still tense, until Cheng Baize walked in with a smile with a chess piece: "What's the matter, what are you talking about, grandpa, I'll play chess with you tonight." ”

I glanced at him: "Persuade my grandfather to have surgery." ”

Cheng Baize sighed, looked at his grandfather's face and smiled: "Grandpa, you have to have surgery, I will take you to the south to see the flowers in the future, this is the season, hey, the endless rape flowers, I guarantee that you will be happy when you look at it!" ”

Grandpa glanced at me, and then cleared his throat: "I have one request." ”

"What a request."

Grandpa took a deep breath, propped up his body to sit up, and grabbed Cheng Baize's hand: "If the matter is settled with Xiaobai, I will agree, otherwise, even if I say a big day, I will not go to surgery, the pain is tight, and I will let myself be a hundred." ”
