After a while, An Chongwen came in quietly. He went back to the room without saying anything, took off his shoes and lay back on the kang.

After waiting for a long time without seeing him speak, Old Man Ju whispered, "Your brother is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with him. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Otherwise, you can tell me. If your brother doesn't do anything right, this old man will help you deal with him."

"Um."

A nasal "hmm" was heard, and it was not difficult to tell that the young man had just cried.

Old Master Ju sighed in his heart, but finally said nothing more.

That day, Tian Cai received a strange phone call from Jingshi.

She said "Hello" softly, and heard a female voice on the other end of the line: "Excuse me, is this Dr. Tian Caitian?"

"I am," Tian Cai rarely heard people call her Doctor Tian, ​​so it was quite new to hear it at first. "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Minister Yang Jie introduced me here," the female voice continued. "Minister Yang said you cured her illness before. Well, someone in my family is seriously ill right now. Would it be convenient for you to come to Beijing?"

Tian Cai understood. Her contact information was given by Yang Jie, who had seen a patient here before. However, it was unlikely that she would abandon the sanatorium and rush to Beijing City for a patient. "It's not convenient for me to go there. There are still many patients in the sanatorium here who need me."

"Then..." The female voice on the other end of the phone hesitated, then quickly continued, "Can we stay near your nursing home?"

The female voice spoke very politely and courteously, and did not show any dissatisfaction with Tian Cai's rejection.

"There's a village near the sanatorium. I can ask the production team leader to arrange for you to stay with a fellow villager. If your condition isn't that serious, you can also stay in the town's guesthouse. The conditions there might be better."

In the past two years, more and more people have come to see the doctor. The production team members in several nearby houses with vacant rooms are often borrowed by others. On the surface, they say they are staying at the homes of fellow villagers, but they always leave some money or things when they leave. Most families in the village are willing to entertain people who come to see the doctor.

"Okay, I'll arrange the work here right away and I'll be able to come to you in a few days. Thank you so much, Dr. Tian!" the female voice said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Wen remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to tell her what disease her uncle had.

Zeng Wen's father was a PLA soldier and her mother was a battlefield doctor. Both of them died when she was very young. Zeng Wen lived with her uncle for many years.

Zeng Wen has no grandparents, but she has a second uncle. Originally, Zeng Wen should have followed this second uncle, but her second uncle was a PLA soldier like her father, and he was a PLA soldier who had no intention of getting married.

Single young men simply had no ability to take care of children, and at that time they often had to go on missions, often for one or two months. So when Zeng Wen's uncle Zhang Dazhi offered to take care of Zeng Wen, Uncle Zeng was both happy and reluctant.

But he knew his situation and he really didn't have time to take care of Zeng Wen. Children's growth does not require only favorable conditions, what they need more is companionship.

After obtaining Zeng Wen's consent, he sent him to Zhang Dazhi's hometown and sent his brother and sister-in-law's pension together. He also gave Zeng Wen living expenses on time every month. He would mail gifts in advance on Zeng Wen's birthday, and he never missed a year.

Uncle Zeng and Zeng Wen's uncle Zhang Dazhi have maintained correspondence for many years. Zhang Dazhi used to always include a photo of Zeng Wen's little hands and footprints in the letter. Later, when he was able to take photos, he would often mail Zeng Wen's photos to him.

Zhang Dazhi's wife is Zhou Chunjie, a very simple rural woman. She used to admire her sister-in-law very much, thinking that she was omnipotent in saving lives and healing the wounded, and that she lived the life she envied the most.

She had only seen Zeng Wen a few times when she was a child, but she liked the delicate and soft little girl very much. Every time they came back, Zhou Chunjie would take out the best bedding and food in the house.

Later, her sister-in-law passed away. Zhou Chunjie felt heartbroken when she thought about such a little girl who lost her parents at such a young age. It was she who took the initiative to suggest taking Zeng Wen home.

Zhang Dazhi and Zhou Chunjie have three sons. The couple has always wanted a daughter but has never been successful. Zeng Wen's arrival can be regarded as a disguised compensation for the couple's regret. They are very caring and attentive to this niece, and they are closer to her than their own children.

Zeng Wen's three cousins ​​also felt sorry for their cousin who lost her parents at a young age, so they treated her well without her parents' instructions. The family of six lived a very happy life.

Time flies, Zeng Wen is twenty years old. He was admitted to a sewing machine factory with his own ability and found a partner to marry. Zhang Dazhi and Zhou Chunjie have raised this child to adulthood, and have done their best to repay their deceased sister and brother-in-law.

But the good times did not last long. Zhang Dazhi was diagnosed with nephritis when Zeng Wen was fifteen years old. It was not serious at first. He just had slight swelling in his lower limbs and a little swollen eyelids. He also had no strength. Later, he started to urinate blood and his family began to take it seriously.

But the condition became more serious as time went by. He was hospitalized three times and each time he had to use various antibiotics and hormone drugs to alleviate the condition. He was discharged only after his condition improved after treatment.

But as long as the labor intensity is high, the disease will relapse.

Zhang Dazhi is a technician in charge of repairing machines at the agricultural machinery station. The machines he can repair include various tractors, threshers and other agricultural machinery. There is no agricultural machinery station in the commune below. During the busy farming season, the machines are used frequently and must be inspected in advance. If anything breaks down, he must rush to repair it as soon as possible. Not only does he have to run around, but he also has to work overtime to ensure that the production progress is not delayed.

Being so busy, he often suffered relapses of nephritis due to overwork.

Zhang Dazhi is fifty years old this year. His children have all grown up. Only the third child and Zeng Wen are still unmarried. If he leaves without seeing them get married, he will feel unwilling in his heart.

Zeng Wen works in the logistics department of a sewing machine factory. Whenever she has time, she goes back to accompany her uncle. She even finds someone to contact several doctors with good reputations to treat her uncle.

The results were all similar. In the end, it all said that his nephritis was too severe and his kidneys had been severely damaged.

Due to excessive use of hormone drugs for treating nephritis in recent years, Zhang Dazhi's immunity is extremely low. Whenever he catches a cold or gets tired, he will get sick.

The doctor also said that if my uncle's condition continued like this, he would soon develop uremia.

Zeng Wen was very panicked.

As she grew up, Zhang Dazhi always played the role of a father and was an indispensable person in her life.

She began to seek medical treatment and medicine everywhere, and would never give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

But she went to see each doctor as they said, but all she got in return were shakes of the head and sighs.

"Or, let's not treat it anymore!"
