Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Call of the Heart
After receiving a call from Deputy County Magistrate, Tucheng County People's Hospital immediately set up a rescue team led by President Liu. When the car drove into the gate of the hospital, the doctors and nurses who had been waiting at the gate quickly attacked, opening the prelude to a life-saving rescue.
After diagnosis, Lan Xinrui fractured her right shoulder bone, fractured the second rib of her left back and penetrated five centimeters into the lung lobe, and the fifth rib was broken close to the heart, requiring immediate surgery, otherwise, it is likely to be life-threatening. However, the operation is difficult and beyond the reach of ordinary doctors, and the hospital's competent doctors happened to visit Hong Kong yesterday. If surgery is required, it must be sent to or from the provincial capital. President Liu immediately reported the situation to the county party committee and the county government. Secretary Miao immediately gave instructions that no matter what the price is, Comrade Lan Xinrui's life must be saved.
President Liu once again organized a consultation with doctors at or above the director level of the hospital, and finally decided to immediately send a special car to the provincial capital to invite experts to come to Tucheng to operate on Lan Xinrui.
Tucheng is a more than ten hours drive back and forth from the provincial capital, and this time it took less than eight hours. At eight o'clock in the evening, as soon as the car entered the hospital and stopped, the three experts hurriedly got out of the car, regardless of fatigue, and went straight to the operating room.
The door of the operating room was already crowded, Secretary Miao and Deputy County Magistrate Yu were also among them, and everyone was relieved to see the experts.
Secretary Miao and Deputy County Magistrate Yu stepped forward to shake hands and greet the experts.
Secretary Miao clasped the hand of an old expert with gray temples and said with emotion: "It's been hard all the way!" Thank you, old expert. ā
The old expert smiled lightly: "You really love the people like a son, a rare good parent, and you are much inferior to me!" ā
"Where, today, this person is a very unusual person in our Tucheng, and there are old experts who bother to let her out of this operating room alive."
"It is my duty to save lives and help the wounded, and I will definitely live up to Secretary Miao's high expectations and do my best." After the old expert finished speaking, he hugged his fists to the people present, and then turned around and entered the operating room.
This old expert is the father of a college classmate of Secretary Miao, and is an all-round medical expert with high prestige in the province and even in the country. This time he came to Tucheng, and Secretary Miao personally called and invited him, and of course he couldn't do without the help of his classmates.
When the door of the operating room was gently closed, the scene was silent, and people raised their hearts again, and their eyes were focused on the mottled gray door.
"Everyone, please go back, I believe that the operation will be successful." Secretary Miao waved his hand to everyone.
At this time, a low cry came from the crowd: "Lan Zhishu, you must not go, you are a good person, our peach blossom needs you, and our peach blossom people can't live without you!" ā
Everyone followed the crying voice, and saw Aunt Zhonghu squatting against the wall of the corridor, her face sprinkled with tears, crying and praying: "The Jade Emperor blesses, the Queen Mother blesses, and Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses ......."
Aunt Zhonghu's actions touched every villager on the field, and the villagers folded their hands and prayed for Lan Xinrui together.
Secretary Miao patted the deputy county magistrate on the shoulder: "Let's go, don't disturb their piety." ā
When the clock struck midnight, the door to the operating room opened. The experts and doctors who were stepping out of the door were suddenly stunned by the scene in front of them: at this time, they saw a crowd of people standing quietly in the long corridor, praying sincerely.
The old expert sighed and announced: "Perhaps your piety has touched the heavens, Ms. Lan's operation was very successful and she is out of danger. ā
At this time, Li Liangdong, who was already in tears, suddenly knelt down, knocked his head like garlic, and kept saying in his mouth: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving our Xinrui, saving our family, thank you, thank you..."
Secretary Huang hurriedly bent down to help him up.
The old expert pointed at Li Liangdong and asked, "You are Ms. Lan's lover?" ā
Li Liangdong nodded.
The old expert patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Your wife is really not simple, I have been practicing medicine for decades, and it is the first time I have seen such a touching scene." You don't have to be overly sad, rest assured, she's already through the most dangerous moment. ā
A young expert next to him told him: "You should stay with her tonight and talk to her as much as you can until she wakes up." When you wake up, you pick up some topics that she likes to hear and care about, and the more emotional the better. ā
"Yes, that's the call of the heart." Dean Liu added.
Li Liangdong kept nodding, his eyes full of gratitude.
The three experts left the operating room accompanied by President Liu. But just after walking a short distance, Dean Liu stopped, turned back to Secretary Huang and said, "Although Ms. Lan is fine, she has not woken up yet, and she needs a quiet environment, so you should organize the villagers to leave the hospital immediately." ā
Secretary Huang bowed his head and quickly dissuaded the villagers.
Half an hour later, Lan Xinrui was transferred to the intensive care unit. Dean Liu made an exception to approve Li Liangdong's escort and called Lan Xinrui to her heart.
Li Liangdong sat on the stool and looked at Lan Xinrui like a wooden chicken.
"Wife, do you know how worried I am? When I heard the bad cry that you were being taken to the hospital, my whole body collapsed, and I ran like crazy to the city, dozens of miles, I didn't dare to stop for a moment, gritted my teeth, ran and ran, ran and ran, and ran for fifty minutes, and finally ran to the hospital. ā
Li Liangdong's eyes began to blur, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Remember when we first met? I remember very well that you had just graduated from college, and you were a cheerful, lively, enthusiastic and beautiful girl, but sometimes you were very silent. Although we are in the same unit, I haven't said a word to you for a long time, do you know why? I never dared to tell you, but now I tell you, because the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to you, but this opportunity is always so far away from me, and when I see other men teasing you and you, my heart is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart, and the pain is unbearable. I knew I didn't have a place in your eyes at all. ā
Lan Xinrui's lips twitched slightly.
Li Liangdong is still obsessively recounting his romantic past: "Finally one day, my deep love for you touched Yue Lao. Do you remember, that day you came back to the dormitory after work and accidentally bumped into my arms, and a Tucheng dialect came out, I was surprised and delighted at that time, but I didn't expect that the beauty I thought about day and night turned out to be my fellow countryman. Ever since I talked to you, I've tried my best to reach you, but you've always tried to avoid me. I secretly swear that whether you mean it to me or not, I will walk into your heart. Do you still remember the day when the Cowherd would weave the Weaver Girl during the Qixi Festival that year? You went shopping alone, and I was afraid that you would have an accident, so I quietly followed you. But I really didn't expect that on your way back to the factory, a few red-haired guys stopped you and wanted to insult you. I was timid by nature, afraid of things, and I had to close my eyes to kill a chicken, but that day I didn't know why, I was covered with bear bile, and I used a wooden stick, screaming, and playing a few tricks of carving insects that I learned from street artists, and I scared a few rotten boys into a lot of urine. From that day on, you regarded me as a hero, as long as you go out, you have to catch me, over time, we met to fall in love, and then you ignored your mother's opposition, behind your mother's back, and I married and had a son in Hainan, and then you did not hesitate to return to the peach blossoms in the mountains with me. ā
Li Liangdong wiped his eyes and continued his nagging: "I have no parents since I was a child, my family is poor, and I didn't let you live a good life, but you never complained that I didn't dislike me." You love your son, you love me, and you love our home even more. You are smart by nature, I know that you are not an idle person, no, you have become the backbone of our peach blossoms. We can't do without you, and I, and our son, can't do without you. Do you know? There are a lot of people here today, Secretary Miao, Deputy County Magistrate Yu, many, many villagers and reporters with cameras are here, they are all moved by you, proud of you, all praying for you, praying that you are safe and sound! ā
Lan Xinrui's naturally beautiful double eyelids moved faintly a few times.
Li Liangdong wiped his tears with his palm, and his voice was almost pleading: "Xinrui, I'm Liangdong, open your eyes and look at me, look at me!" ā
However, the pleading still did not wake up Lan Xinrui, which made Li Liangdong desperate, and tears once again gushed out like a flood that had discharged the floodgates. He choked up and cried: "Xinrui, what's wrong with you, do you really want to leave me, my son and my mother behind?" If you're gone, I won't be able to live, what about our son and our elderly mother? What to do? ā
Li Liangdong finally couldn't restrain the extreme sadness in his heart, buried his head and howled "wow".
The cry alarmed the nurse on duty, and the nurse gently pushed open the door and saw Lan Xinrui opening her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her face. Seeing this, the nurse was overjoyed and patted Li Liangdong's head with her hand: "What are you crying about, look at it, your wife is laughing at you!" ā
Li Liangdong raised his head sharply, and his gaze met Lan Xinrui's gaze. He was so pleasantly surprised that he became at a loss for a moment, covering his face with his hands to wipe away his tears, and combing his messy hair with his fingers.
"What's wrong with you? Nervous. The nurse asked him suspiciously.
"IāI'm so happy, so excited!" He leaned down and kissed Lan Xinrui's haggard face gently, "Wife, you finally woke up, you almost scared me to death!" ā
Lan Xinrui squirmed her lips, and in a weak voice, she finally said a word: "Thank you, husband!" ā
