Chapter 70: Going Home I just had a physical examination in June this year, and all the indicators are...
Dong Taohua's vacation is limited, and she will go back after celebrating Xu Heye's birthday.
Xu Heye thought about it and decided to go home with her parents.
Now that the crisis in Zhangshu Lane has been resolved, and her uncle Pang Li has successfully joined the factory where Lian's father works, becoming a member of the car parts production team, she can go home and spend her summer vacation with peace of mind.
After distributing the delicious food that could not be kept to the neighbors in the slum, Xu Heye carried her backpack and luggage and followed her parents on the train back to Jiangxi Province.
After a long journey, they arrived safely at their home in Gan Province two days later.
Her hometown is still the same as she remembers it.
Opening the wooden door, entering the main hall, one faces a portrait of a great man painted in the color of the sun. On the left side of the yellow mud and lime-coated wall, a row of awards are posted. They are all awards Xu Heye received in elementary school: the "Three Good Student" award, awards for first place in exams, and awards for rope skipping competitions.
On the right were several banners, all given to Dong Taohua by others to thank her for saving those people's families.
Behind the main hall was the stairwell, and behind that was the kitchen. Going up to the second floor, the couple's room was in the front, and Xu Heye's room was in the back. Going up to the third floor, all were guest rooms.
Dong Taohua and Xu Hui were both educated youth and had few relatives here, so there were almost no relatives living on the third floor.
However, Dong Taohua occasionally brings in women who have suffered domestic violence or bullying and have nowhere else to go, and Xu Hui occasionally brings in students.
Xu Heye went upstairs and headed straight for her room. It was huge, a full eighteen square meters, a full ten square meters larger than the small rental house in Hucheng. Looking at this large room, Xu Heye felt a bit unaccustomed.
Dong Taohua followed Xu Heye upstairs and saw her return to her room. She looked here and touched there, looking very curious. She couldn't help but laugh, "You've only been in Hucheng for a few months, and you don't remember what your room looks like?"
Xu Heye smiled and said, "I just miss my big room!" She wouldn't tell her mother the real reason. In fact, if you include her past life, she hadn't been back for over a decade.
At first, she was young and had no one to accompany her back. Later, she started working and could only come back during the Chinese New Year. Later, her father's health deteriorated and he had no choice but to retire and go to Hucheng for treatment to live with his daughter.
At that time, she didn't know how to earn money and her family didn't have much savings. In order to raise money for her father's medical expenses, she had to sell the house in her hometown to someone else at a low price.
Then my father passed away...
She had no relatives and no home in her hometown, so she never returned.
Xu Heye looked at the graffiti she had drawn on the wall, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. How nice!
Mom and Dad are here, and home is here too.
My father never drank. If my mother were still alive, he would not have drunk alcohol because he missed his wife, damaged his liver, and died of illness at a young age.
But she still couldn't take it lightly, she had to find a way to get both her parents to have a physical examination.
There are so many people who drink, but not all of them develop cirrhosis. Xu Hui's illness may be due to his genetic predisposition to the disease, and the alcohol's effects have completely flared up.
I may not be an alcoholic in my life, but there is no guarantee that there will be no other stimulants.
The best way is to have regular physical examinations. Even if you get sick, it will be discovered early and will not be irreversible.
Xu Heye turned her head and looked at her mother Dong Taohua, "Mom, let's go to the hospital for a physical examination with Dad as well!"
Dong Taohua was puzzled: "Why are they suddenly talking about a physical examination?" Children's thoughts always jump like this.
Xu Heye said, "Mom, my uncle has a friend named Lu Jun." Seeing that Dong Taohua was still confused, Xu Heye changed her way of describing him, "He's that energetic young man with green hair!"
"Oh, him." Dong Taohua remembered.
"Is his mother okay?" The last time she came back from Hucheng, she heard that Lu Jun's mother was seriously ill and needed surgery, and she even gave a gift at that time.
Xu Heye shook her head: "He has passed away."
"Dead?"
"Yes." Xu Heye nodded, her voice low, "Grandma Lu has passed away. In fact, the doctor said that if her disease was in the early stages, it could be completely controlled. Unfortunately, it was already in the late stages when it was discovered."
"Grandma Lu passed away, and from now on Uncle Lu Jun is a child without a father and mother."
"So you are worried about mom and dad, and you want us to get a physical examination as well?" Dong Taohua looked at her daughter with pity in her eyes.
She touched her daughter's furry head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mom and dad are in good health!"
"Our Women's Federation conducts physical examinations every May. Your father just had a physical examination in June this year, and all his indicators are good!"
In 1985, to celebrate the first National Teachers' Day.
Beijing has issued a policy that more than 270 central, municipal, military, industrial and mining enterprises, district, county, street and township hospitals in the city will provide free physical examinations for more than 112,000 primary and secondary school and kindergarten teachers in the city.
During this large-scale physical examination of teachers in Beijing, more than 20,000 teachers were diagnosed with diseases and received timely treatment.
After that, provinces and cities paid more and more attention to the physical health of teachers and successively established teacher physical examination systems.
Jiangxi Province is far away from the capital, so it takes some time for the local government to respond after the policy is issued. However, teacher physical examinations were put on the agenda in March this year.
The county's medical resources and staff are limited, so some schools have physical examinations early and some have late. Xu Hui's high school was one of the last, delayed until June. Fortunately, all the indicators are good, he can eat and sleep well, and he is in good health.
Xu Heye didn't expect that government agencies and teachers had already started physical examinations at this time.
"Then Mom, please show me your medical examination report." Although her mother said everything was fine, she still wanted to confirm it with her own eyes.
"How could I lie to you?" Dong Taohua said, and took out the physical examination reports of the two from the cabinet.
Xu Heye first checked the routine indicators, and after confirming they were all normal, she turned her attention to Xu Hui's liver examination. In her previous life, she had taken Xu Hui to see a doctor, and had seen many test lists, so she could tell the problem at a glance at many indicators.
After reading it, Xu Heye felt relieved.
Very good, Dad’s liver is still very healthy now.
Xu Heye put down the report and yawned. Dong Taohua was also tired; riding the train was exhausting. After returning the report to its place, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
When Xu Heye woke up again, it was already dark. She came out of her room, and her parents' house was still quiet.
Feeling a little hungry, Xu Heye did not disturb her parents but decided to go downstairs to find something to eat.
Their home is in the county, and the location is quite central. It only takes two steps to reach the old street.
The old street is full of shops doing business, some selling umbrellas, some repairing shoes, some selling incense, candles and firecrackers, some selling wedding supplies, and of course there are also shops selling food.
Xu Heye planned to go for a bowl of mixed rice noodles. Gan Province, a land of fish and rice, is rich in rice and famous for its various rice products. Rice cakes, rice cakes, rice noodles, and rice wine are all local specialties.
Xu Heye found a restaurant that has been open for more than ten years. In the past, when her parents had no time to cook, she would often come here to eat.
She ordered a bowl of spicy and sour rice noodles.
As soon as the rice noodles come out of the kitchen, a unique sour and spicy aroma hits you.
Xu Heye couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She couldn't wait to pick up the soup bowl, find a seat, sit down, pick up the chopsticks and prepare to eat. At this moment, she heard a chuckle in her ears.
Xu Heye raised her head and saw a pretty little round face looking at her with a smile.
