Chapter 1: The scene of a large-scale social death
-
"Old Lu's family, what are you still standing there stunned for? This is the ward, you should hurry up and get in! ”
*
At the beginning of 1987, the First People's Hospital of Yunbei County.
Xu Lan stood at the door of the ward, his eyes glazed over, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She carried an old iron kettle in her right hand, and the green kettle was printed with two delicate hibiscus flowers, which was very festive.
The unfamiliar memories in her mind came to her face, and she had to recognize this fact, and she crossed over.
Obviously, one second she was still sorting out the ingredients she needed in the live broadcast room, and the next second she was unlucky enough to wear it to a strange room, and she had a cheap husband.
She was rummaging through the belongings left behind by her original owner, trying to see if she could find any clues in them, when there was a knock on the door.
Then, she was taken to the hospital by the middle-aged woman in front of her, saying that her husband had fainted due to overwork and was lying in the ward in front of her.
What does this prove?
Don't work overtime, it will become unfortunate!
Maybe because the original owner was a little stupid, so there wasn't much useful information left for her.
The original owner is the same age as her, also called Xu Lan, an orphan, his adoptive parents died when he was a child, he grew up in the second uncle's house, and was forced by the second aunt to get engaged to the second fool in the next village when he became an adult.
The beautiful name is a fool with a fool, a perfect match.
The wedding date was approaching, and the aunt of the neighbor next door couldn't bear to see Xu Lanyang into the tiger's mouth, so she persuaded her to escape from the marriage.
After hearing this, Xu Lan decisively packed up his things and ran away from his second uncle's house, but unexpectedly fell into the river on the way and was rescued by the Lu family's parents who were fishing nearby.
With the help of the Lu family's parents, Xu Lan returned the gift money and broke off the marriage contract with the second fool in the next village.
thought that she could escape the catastrophe, but who thought that the second uncle's family was insatiable, and even wanted to marry her to the old bachelor in the village.
Lu's mother has a total of three children, but they are all mixed boys, she has no daughters in her life, and she likes it when she sees Xu Lan.
Seeing Xu Lan being bullied, and seeing the unreasonable face of Xu Lan's second uncle's family, I was so distressed.
I had to think of a way to break the thought of Xu Lan's second uncle and his family wanting to marry Xu Lan.
Mother Lu's eyes rolled, she glanced at her eldest son who was at home on vacation, and then at Xu Lan, who was so rare on the side, patted her thigh and said that she wanted this daughter-in-law.
After asking Xu Lan and the others what they thought, seeing that neither of them had any doubts, he waved his hand and directly organized the wedding.
After the wedding, Lu Nanzhou returned to the county seat to continue working, while Xu Lan continued to stay in the Lu family and live with Lu's father and mother.
The original owner also came to the county seat a few days ago.
Xu sighed, thinking that it was good that the two were not very familiar.
Even if you are rusty with each other in this way, it is not easy to show your feet.
At Aunt Li's call, Xu Lan came back to her senses, and her eyes stayed on the door of the ward for a while.
After a long time, she raised her head and looked at the middle-aged woman directly opposite her, the woman was no more than fifty years old, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, and her face was soft, which made people feel good, and she looked at herself with concern at this time.
Xu Yan quickly recalled the name that matched the person in front of him, and after a few seconds, he accurately called out "Aunt Li" and smiled at her to thank her.
However, there are 10,000 little alpacas galloping by.
Here Aunt Li is still comforting her:
"Mutter, don't worry too much, Xiao Lu is just too tired from working overtime, and he can recover after a period of rest, don't worry."
Xu Lan cried in the storm in his heart: I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about myself!
Aunt Li opened the door of the ward as she spoke, pushed Xu Lan into the ward, and then waved her hand and strode away.
Xu Lan stood at the door of the ward, looking at the scene in the room, and only felt that his head was big.
When Aunt Li came to knock on the door, she happened to flip through the original owner's marriage certificate, and after a quick glance, she was pulled to the hospital.
In the early 80s, color film was rare and precious, and for ordinary people, the price was even more expensive, and the original owner's marriage certificate photo was black and white, and the picture quality was very touching, and it was vaguely estimated that even the original owner could not recognize who it was, which was seriously inconsistent with the real thing.
Therefore, only relying on the vague memories of the original owner, she didn't know what her cheap husband looked like, only that his name was Lu Nanzhou.
I don't have much memory about Lu Nanzhou in my mind, I only know that he is a thoracic surgeon in this hospital.
As she thought about it, the room was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant water, and her eyes swept over the five beds in the room.
Unlike the wards of modern hospitals, the medical facilities in the room are old, with only a few simple iron beds, a few stools for escorts to rest, and no cards at the end of the bed to record patient information and medication records.
She could only use the elimination method to check one by one, she started with bed No. 1 and looked at it carefully.
Sweeping his gaze over bed No. 1, it was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, who was the first to rule out.
The second bed is an old man, full of white hair but full of energy, not at all like a sick look, Xu Mo couldn't help but look at it twice, but accidentally looked at the old man affectionately, she smiled at the old man a little embarrassed.
The old man was lying on the hospital bed and was stared at by her, silently pulled the quilt that was originally covered on his waist to his neck and covered it tightly, staring at Xu Mu cautiously with round eyes, for fear that she would have some crooked thoughts on him to harm him.
Seeing this, the corners of Xu Lan's mouth twitched, and he turned his head and turned his gaze silently to bed No. 3, which was an old lady, who was now pulling the nurse's sleeve and pointing to bed No. 4, with words in her mouth, as if she was arguing about something.
I saw that the young nurse was still patiently talking to the old man at first, but the old lady on bed No. 3 was gradually irritable, excited, and louder.
It was too far away for Xu Mu to hear their conversation clearly, so he had to take two steps forward and take the conversation between the two into his ears.
The little nurse followed her professional ethics, still smiling and comforting the old man, telling her that there was still noise in the ward, and that there were other patients resting.
Ran Goose Xu Mo felt that there seemed to be a trace of hideousness in that smile, and the smile was more ugly than crying.
"Nurse, believe me, he's really dead on four beds, it's been hours, and he's lying there motionless."
"Quickly call someone to pull him away, pull him away, I'm afraid."
"I'm not talking nonsense, you're still young, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice, and I can't tell the difference between the living and the dead? You have to trust me! ”
Xu Muan: "......?!! ”
Xu Lan only felt three black lines flashing at the corners of her forehead, and she looked at the nurse with sympathy.
She suddenly remembered a joke circulating on the Internet, which said:
"If I'm guilty, please let the law punish me, instead of me saying Roche Fen, the patient came to me and asked, did you eat snail noodles at noon today? Can you add an extra pig's knuckle and fried eggs? ”
Wait a minute!
Xu Lan's little head suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered the "business" he was going to do today.
As if thinking of something, she jerked her gaze at bed number five.
Empty!
No one!
She gasped, opened her mouth wide, turned her head, her eyes blinked and blinked, and she looked at bed number four with a shocked face.
When Aunt Li came to him, she said that Lu Nanzhou fainted?
Fainting = lying flat
The one lying on bed number four... Is it Lu Nanzhou?
Grass, a beautiful plant.
No, no, no!
Going to be a widow on the first day you just came through?
Who else is worse than her?
So does she want to show sadness to express her grief?
Xu Muan, who was still sympathetic to the nurse just now, instantly changed her face like flipping through a book, her face was full of sadness, and she looked like she was in pain.
Ignoring the strange eyes of the other people in the ward, Xu Lan rushed directly to the No. 4 bed, threw the hot water kettle he was carrying on the ground at will, and cried loudly in front of the bed regardless of his image.
"Ahh
"How can you abandon me and go away, you negative man, you said that you would accompany me to old age? You're a liar! ”
The atmosphere in the ward changed instantly, and even the old lady who was emotionally out of control on bed No. 3 stopped talking and looked at her in a daze.
The old man in bed No. 2 bounced up from the bed suddenly, and he looked like she was going to do something as soon as you could see me.!
The room became noisy and chaotic.
The nurse's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly came out to control the scene, looked at Xu Mu, and hurriedly said:
"That's... Is Dr. Lu's family there? ”
"Doctor Lu, he..."
Before the nurse could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Lan:
"Don't say it... I know what you're going to say, you don't have to comfort me, you don't have to say condolences to me, I think very openly, the windows of your hospital are high, I can't climb up, you don't have to worry. ”
"What's next, to a morgue or a crematorium?"
"Does your hospital reimburse funeral expenses for work-related deaths?"
Nurse: "......"
The family member's brain circuitry is surprisingly staggering.
The nurse supported her forehead, wanting to explain to Xu Lan, but her eyes suddenly looked at the door of the ward, and her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen a savior.
Xu Lan followed the line of sight and met a pair of extremely handsome faces, the man was wearing a white coat, tall, handsome, thin lips lightly opened, looked in her direction, and called out lightly:
“…… Xu Lan? ”
