Volume 1 Earth Chapter 4 Mother's Disease

Linwei District is located in the northwest of Zhejiang, bordering Yuhang in the east and Yingyang in the south.

In the northwest, there are many lofty mountains and deep ravines and valleys, and in the southeast, there are hills and wide valleys, and the terrain is flat. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a horseshoe-shaped barrier facing southeast.

The subtropical monsoon climate is warm and humid, with plenty of sunshine and abundant rainfall, and four distinct seasons.

Tianmu Mountain in the northwest is located between the Yellow Mountain and the East China Sea, occupies the feng shui luck of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the east and west peaks are far away from each other, and the top of the two peaks has a blue pond in the sky.

The pond water poured down to form the Tianmu River, which runs through the middle of the territory, flows through the Fenshui River and then runs into the Qiantang River. Linshu Buddha, Taoist culture has a long history, Tianmu Mountain is respected as Wei Yan Bodhisattva Dojo, known as Taoism 34 caves in history.

Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Su Shi and other literati and writers left footprints and poems here, adding profound cultural heritage to the landscape of Linwei.

In recent years, Linwei has been withdrawn from the city and has become a municipal administrative district of Qiantang City.

Located in the bustling area of the city, Linwei No. X Middle School has a long history of running schools and has cultivated many world-renowned talents. In the 90s of the last century, it was rated as the first batch of 100 model high schools in the country.

Last year, Ning Ke was admitted to this school with the first place in the city's high school entrance examination.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the rain was abundant. There are occasional showers in the sky, which is a bit annoying.

In the afternoon of that day, Ning Ke hurried to school with a bicycle in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

The misty scene in front of him made him feel as if time and space had been misplaced, and a faint uneasiness flowed from his heart. He rushed to the school and walked into the classroom, and just before he could put down his schoolbag and sit down, the head teacher, Mr. Lin Lan, came over.

"Your family called and said your mother had been taken to the hospital......"

Lin Lan is a female college student who has just graduated and has been teaching for less than a year, and she is deeply liked by students because of her beauty and youth.

Most of the classmates in the class have mobile phones, but Ning Ke doesn't have them. He was surprised when his family's phone call reached the head teacher. Listening to the words of the head teacher, his mind "buzzed", and the ominous feeling was suddenly released from the depths of his chest and abdomen.

Last year, also this season, Dad was gone, and he could no longer bear the grief of losing a loved one. He glanced at Teacher Lin Lan's somewhat weeping face, signaled to Li Yadi at the same table, and ran out of the classroom without taking the schoolbag and umbrella.

"District No. 1 Hospital, 120 Emergency Room—" The young governess's shrill voice drifted from behind him.

The hospital was the last place he wanted to be, although his goal was to get into a medical school.

When he rushed to the 120 emergency room of the hospital, he saw his uncle sitting in the chair waiting for the doctor in the corridor with his head down, and the cigarette butts in his hands had long since disappeared.

"Old lady. Mom, what's going on?!"

Ning Ke's tone was full of eagerness, and as he spoke, he stretched out his head and looked in through the opaque glass on the door of the emergency room.

"Stroke, the doctor said, left frontal ...... The frontal lobe had root main vessel blockage, branch blood vessel rupture, brain swelling, and slight brain herniation......"

The old man glanced at the cigarette butt that was sandwiched between his rough fingers and only the filter was left, and his sad face showed an old state. In fact, he is thirty-eight years old this year, twenty-two years older than Ning Ke.

"Is it dangerous?!"

"It's up to us to see if we can survive tonight......"

Hearing this, Ning Ke's chest seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and the whole person became cold. The thoughts of memory are like clouds in the sky, surging and rolling with the wind......

It's not easy for my mother these years, and every day rain or shine, I go to the small street at the entrance of the vegetable market to set up a shoe repair stall.

A hand-cranked sewing machine, a small folding bench, a multi-layered wooden toolbox, and a large tarpaulin umbrella with a worn rainy day on the side.

The stiff and atrophied left hand struggles to shake the crank wheel of the sewing machine, and the right hand grasps the sewing ......

When Dad was alive, he set up a lock-repairing stall not far away.

He sat in an old wheelchair with crutches in reading glasses, sometimes picking up a file, sometimes picking up a small hammer, and the sonorous "clanging" sound was accompanied by the sound of his mother's sewing machine......

From childhood to adulthood, Ning Ke saw such a scene. It is only when they encounter the cityscape creation inspection that they have to take a vacation.

This living situation contributed to Ning Ke's growth.

Not only did he learn to buy groceries and cook food, but he also did a good job of repairing locks and mending shoes, and by the age of twelve, he had no bad locks.

When he was in the eighth grade, he dismantled the motor and battery from a discarded battery bicycle and assembled it into a set of equipment for the sewing machine to turn.

But because it was too heavy, my mother only tried it a few times, but she didn't want to use it. In fact, the business is too light to be used at all.

Nowadays, people throw away shoes that are outdated, and how many shoes are broken and degummed, and they are willing to mend the stickiness and wear them again?

Ning Ke is much more mature than his peers, and although he has outstanding academic performance, he has long planned to drop out of school.

Especially after entering high school, he deeply felt that going to school brought a substantial burden to his family, not only financially, but also in terms of time. Seeing that college graduates are difficult to find employment and have low salaries, he feels that he can't solve the actual problems of his family by relying on study.

Originally, I wanted to go to the best medical university, but it came from the promise of the fairy girl who saved her life to accept her as an apprentice.

Since he was a child, the people around him have been constantly reinforcing this idea of him, saying that he has a fairy-like female master...... He often thought that if he didn't know anything about medicine, once that Immortal Gu Master came, his medical foundation was too poor to study medicine, it would be a pity.

He dreamed of a successful medical career, not only with a good income, but also with his mother's polio disability cured by his superb medical skills.

This thought has always accompanied him from childhood to adolescence, and it is also the driving force for him to study consciously, seriously, and overcome all difficulties.

Even when he was just in junior high school, he often went to Xinhua Bookstore to read books on traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and because he had no money to buy books, he memorized them in paragraphs and chapters, and then wrote them down in his notebook when he went home, and even some medicine and medical illustrations he drew from memory.

Over the years, he has accumulated dozens of dictated copies of medical monographs.

But, where is that magical fairy master?!

"The cuckoo family is coming—" A nurse beckoned from the door of the emergency room.

"It's coming!" Ning Ke heard someone call his mother's name, bounced up from the bench, and hurriedly stepped in front of the nurse, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's a handsome little guy...... The patient has incontinence, go buy ten diapers, the kind for adults, you know?"

The old uncle also came over, and when he heard this, he took out a crumpled hundred-yuan bill from the old waist bag on his waist and handed it to Ning Ke, "You go buy it." ”

Ning Ke glanced at his uncle's tired, anxious and helpless face, and deliberately glanced at his lonely figure, thinking about his weak situation......

A sentence in the textbook suddenly popped into his mind: "'Don't forget each other!', if I can be developed, I will definitely help my old lady to get a beautiful wife......"

In the evening, the head teacher, Mr. Lin Lan, came in a hurry with some snacks and a bouquet of flowers to comfort Ning Ke.

This made the old man envious, and he kept chattering, "She's really your teacher?!"

That night, Ning Ke was sitting on the bench in the corridor of the emergency room, and he suddenly hallucinated, the fairy girl wearing a white dress in ancient costumes and a white veil on her face came and cured her mother's illness......

The cold of the night wind woke him up, and he stared at the opaque glass window on the door of the emergency room. There was a strong thought tormenting him - to find that miracle doctor fairy girl no matter what!

Perhaps it was God's pity on this miserable mother, Si Ye, her condition did not fluctuate greatly.

My mother was in the hospital for half a month, and she was awake, but she had no sensation on the right side of her body. Originally, the left side of her body was half-disabled due to polio when she was a child, but this stroke made her right side of her body unable to move at all.

What is worrying is that the mother is also slurred, and can only say "um, ah" in a single tone that no one can understand.

In the following days, Ning Ke figured out the family's financial foundation.

There are several passbooks, one of which is a monthly payment of the mother's living allowance for the disabled, which is paid to the account by the sub-district office on a monthly basis; and there is also a current passbook with more than 4,000 yuan on it, plus two fixed passbooks, a total of more than 26,000 yuan!

When he was discharged from the hospital, Ning Ke only paid 5,648 yuan, and the medical insurance reimbursed the other expenses.

During her mother's hospitalization, she was all accompanied by Ning Ke.

Ning Ke already had a certain amount of medical knowledge, and learned the skills of taking care of paralyzed patients from the nurses in the hospital.

He took good care of his mother, and the entire department, whether it was the medical staff or the patients and their families, did not praise Ning Ke. They all envy that there is such a filial, capable, sunny and handsome young man in the world.

The city is not big, and some people recognized this champion in last year's high school entrance examination, and everyone compared their own children while looking at Ning Ke with envy......

The uncle argued many times that he wanted to change Ning Ke to go to school, but after Ning Ke gave up the reason for quitting school, he went to work.

During this period, the eldest uncle visited his mother once alone, and the stay was very short.

To Ning Ke's surprise, the head teacher Lin Lan came to visit her mother for the second time, accompanied by two girls, one was Li Yadi at the same table, and the other was Shan Aiai, the most beautiful girl in the school with excellent grades.

The two of them brought Ning Ke's schoolbag and umbrella left in school.

Ning Ke thanked him when he saw the schoolbag, shook his head and showed a wry smile.

When he explained the current situation of his family to the head teacher and told him that he was going to quit school, before Teacher Lin Lan could speak, the two girls chirped and persuaded him......
