Chapter 7 The Wrong Person
After waiting for about forty minutes, it was finally Lin Anan's turn to see the patient.
Professor Liang is a gentlemanly man in his fifties. He is not very tall and is rather thin. He wears a pair of rimless glasses and is kind and polite.
Just as Lin Anan expected, Professor Liang is indeed China's top respiratory medicine expert with superb professional skills!
After careful diagnosis, the cause of Lin Anan's illness was confirmed.
"Your disease is called 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease', abbreviated as COPD. Coincidentally, my team is working on this disease. Your case is very rare..."
By the time Professor Liang finished speaking, Lin's mother's eyes were already filled with tears.
She stepped forward excitedly and asked, "Doctor, are you saying that my daughter's disease...can be cured?"
Professor Liang nodded. "Yes, it can be cured, but I still need a consultation. This type of case is very rare. Comrade Lin is the first case encountered by the Northwest Military Region General Hospital. The treatment plan must be extremely cautious."
This was the first time someone pointed out Lin Anan’s illness and told her that the disease was curable. It was not tuberculosis, nor was it a complication caused by congenital deficiency.
How could she not be excited?
Mother Lin wiped her tears, feeling that it was a little unreal, "Is it really possible to cure it?"
Professor Liang smiled and glanced at Chu Mingzhou. "Comrade Lin is Captain Chu's lover. We will definitely do our best."
Professor Liang took out the prescription and started writing, giving instructions on precautions. "In daily life, you should try to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoke dust and irritating gases will affect the respiratory tract and easily aggravate the condition. You must pay more attention. You must also prevent colds and avoid catching a cold. You cannot eat spicy food or do strenuous exercise..."
Mother Lin's emotions were somewhat difficult to control, and her whole body was shaking slightly.
Lin Anan also kept staring at the tip of Professor Liang's pen, watching every stroke very carefully.
He subconsciously reached out to hold Lin's mother's hand, wanting to comfort her and share her joy.
But she didn't catch Lin's mother, she caught Chu Mingzhou instead!
When their fingertips touched, Chu Mingzhou's body stiffened slightly. He lowered his eyes and saw a slender white hand holding his... two fingers.
His expression changed slightly and he pulled his finger back.
"Hmm?" Lin Anan turned around and met his icy eyes.
Oops! I pulled the wrong person...
Lin Anan opened her mouth to explain, but Chu Mingzhou had already looked away, and even took two or three steps back, standing far away from her.
In an instant, even the air became awkward.
Lin Anan turned her head uncomfortably. Seeing his expression, there was no need to explain. There was a huge misunderstanding!
Chu Mingzhou pursed his lips tightly, his thoughts a little complicated. It’s not that he hates it, but... he doesn’t like to be overly intimate with strangers.
This is the nature of a soldier.
It seems that the icy and soft touch still lingers on my hands.
Chu Mingzhou's gaze paused on Lin Anan for a moment. From his angle, he could just see Lin Anan's profile. Due to the light, the lower half of her face was too clear.
The nose is small and straight, and the lips are bloodless, like the first snow in winter, pale and cold, but the shape of the lips is particularly beautiful.
Chu Mingzhou withdrew his gaze and moved two steps towards the door.
The clinic suddenly became quiet...
Until Professor Liang put down his pen and broke the silence, "Go get the medicine first. Be sure to take it on time. It will relieve the symptoms. Come back for a follow-up visit next Thursday, and we will confirm the follow-up treatment plan then."
"Thank you, Professor Liang. It will be troublesome for me to treat you in the future." Lin Anan thanked him sincerely.
Professor Liang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, it's what I should do."
Chu Mingzhou also nodded to Professor Liang and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, it's all within my ability."
Mother Lin carefully stepped forward to take the prescription, as if she was holding her daughter's life in her hands, "Thank you, thank you. When my An An recovers, I will send you and the hospital a banner!"
The value of a silk banner in this era is different from that in the future. It requires real-name reporting and is considered the highest level of gratitude.
Mother Lin bowed deeply, her posture very humble, and her tone was almost full of gratitude.
Until leaving the hospital, Lin's mother felt like she was dreaming. After getting in the car, she pinched herself and said, "Ouch~".
"Mom, what are you doing!"
"It's okay. Mom is happy." She leaned forward again and said, "Mingzhou, this time it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, An'an would have gotten sick..."
Chu Mingzhou glanced at Lin Anan through the rearview mirror and said, "It's okay. It's just a piece of cake."
Mother Lin sat back down and sighed softly, feeling both relieved and emotional, "Our An An is dragged down by this body. If she could recover, she would definitely be able to live a prosperous life with you!
She is a graduate of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. She knows a lot, has a high level of education, and has many specialties. Moreover, she is beautiful. When the time comes, you two can have more children..."
Lin's mother has already begun to imagine the good days after her daughter recovers.
Lin Anan was completely stunned after hearing this!
He interrupted hurriedly: "Mom, stop talking nonsense."
Mother Lin glanced at her and said, "What are you ashamed of, kid? Why did I say such nonsense? You are not a child anymore. I didn't dare to mention this before. With your body, you are lucky to be alive! But now Professor Liang said that it can be cured... Ouch~"
Lin Anan twisted her arm with all her strength.
Mother Lin smiled and glared at her daughter, "What's there to be ashamed of? I'm your mother and he's your man!"
Lin Anan: “…”
Lin Anan glanced at Chu Mingzhou and saw that his face was red!
As soon as they got home, Lin's mother took Chu Minglan to the supply and marketing cooperative, saying that she wanted to cut some meat to celebrate.
The scene was so grand that it seemed as if Lin Anan had already recovered on the spot!
As for Lin's mother, as long as she can control her temper, she is definitely a great social person. She can chat with anyone and make them feel comfortable with just a few words.
People of this era were simple and honest, and they all lived in the same military compound, so they would not hit anyone who smiled at them. Anyone who met Lin's mother would respond politely and have a good impression of her.
The rules and regulations in the military compound are strict, but there are also many military dependents, who come from all over the world and have varying cultural levels. It is normal for them to chat about daily life.
During this time, Lin's mother heard a big news.
"The canteen outside the military area has been closed due to food safety issues. It is currently undergoing self-inspection and will probably reopen next year after a change of personnel. Now every household can only eat at home."
"Just a few days ago, I heard that a Xinhua reporter who came to the army to do an interview was poisoned!"
"Yes, even the instrumentalists of the art troupe were hospitalized. The poisoning was so severe that it almost cost their lives."
Lin's mother remembered the officer in her son-in-law's car today, and it seemed that he went to the hospital for this matter.
She didn't say much, just listened. When people asked her questions, she didn't express her opinion on the issue.
