At first I thought he was grinning because he was having a good dream.

But now Mr. Lu was awake, his eyes were open but his mouth was closed and he couldn't speak.

The drool continued to flow out from the corners of his cracked mouth.

This is not a smile, it's clearly a facial paralysis!

The key point is that Mr. Lu can’t move at all now.

He couldn't even move his fingers. He lay straight on the bed. His head couldn't move. He could only move his eyeballs and scream "ahhhh" continuously.

Mr. Lu couldn't move his face, he could only try to slide his eyes towards Mrs. Lu.

"Ahh..." Doctor...

Mr. Lu is extremely panicked now. Why can't he move suddenly?

I was having a sweet dream last night and was planning to go to the capital to find Lu Zhenguo today or tomorrow and enjoy a wonderful life.

As a result, he can't move now! Mr. Lu had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Mrs. Lu said nervously, "Wait a minute, I'll go get someone!"

Old Madam Lu rushed out of the bedroom and shouted, "Zhen Jiajia! Zhen Jiajia!"

"Mom, what are you doing? You're shouting so early in the morning. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the neighbors and having them come looking for you?" Ge Guifen said unhappily.

He's shouting like he's asking for my life so early in the morning. How unlucky!

Mrs. Lu didn't care about Ge Guifen's attitude at the moment. She said to Ge Guifen anxiously, "Your father suddenly can't move! He can't even speak!"

"What?" Ge Guifen was stunned for a moment, her heart sank. Don't let him be so sick that he can't get out of bed. She still has to take care of Mr. Lu's pee and poop!

Old Madam Lu urged, "Go find a doctor to come and take a look!"

Their village has a clinic, and since it is inconvenient to go to the town, their village doctor can solve common minor illnesses.

Mr. Lu’s condition looks very serious this time. The village doctor definitely can’t cure it, but at least he can take a look at what’s going on.

Ge Guifen couldn't think so much now. At least at this moment, she didn't want anything to happen to Mr. Lu.

She quickly put down the stainless steel basin in her hand and ran out.

Ten minutes later, Doctor Zheng followed Ge Guifen and ran over, panting.

Old Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down, urging, "Doctor Zheng, please come and see what's wrong with my old man!"

So Doctor Zheng, without even catching his breath, hurriedly carried the medicine box into the bedroom of the two elders of the Lu family.

The two had just gotten up in the morning, and because of Mr. Lu's sudden illness, Mrs. Lu hadn't even had time to wash up, let alone clean the room.

There was still a smell in the room as if it had been covered overnight, which was really not a pleasant smell.

Doctor Zheng didn't care about these things. After staying for a few minutes, he got used to the smell.

He hurriedly gave Mr. Lu a simple examination. Due to the lack of equipment, he could only rely on experience to make judgments.

After examining him for a while, Doctor Zheng said, "Based on my experience, the old man should have had a stroke. You'd better rush him to the hospital. The old man is old. If he is treated early, he may still be able to walk. If it is delayed, it will be troublesome."

The village chief also heard about Mr. Lu's sudden stroke, so he hurried over on his tricycle, helped lift Mr. Lu onto the tricycle, and took Ge Guifen and Mrs. Lu to the town hospital for examination.

While waiting for the test results, the village chief frowned and asked, "Why did Uncle Lu suddenly have a stroke? What happened to your family?"

The Lu family was quite quiet yesterday, and I didn't hear them quarreling at home.

When Mrs. Lu came here, she thought all the way that their family was indeed fine yesterday.

If we have to say what happened, it was just that the two of them were fantasizing about going to the capital to find Lu Youxi to live a wonderful life in their old age.

The old man must have had a joyful dream all night, maybe he was so happy that he had a stroke because he was too excited?

Old Mrs. Lu really wasn't sure.

However, Mrs. Lu knew that she couldn't tell the village chief about going to the capital to find Lu Youxi to take care of her in her old age, otherwise the village chief would criticize them again.

Mrs. Lu thought about it for a while, shook her head, and said in confusion, "I don't know. Nothing happened in our family. It was just an ordinary day. How could he suddenly have a stroke?"

Ge Guifen frowned. She naturally didn't know that Mr. Lu had been happy all night because of his dream. She guessed, "Maybe my father-in-law drank too much during the day?"

Mr. Lu loves to drink white wine, but because he is stingy, he can't afford to drink good wine.

I always go to the village store to buy that kind of liquor which costs ten yuan a barrel.

What kind of good wine could that be? Ge Guifen secretly complained to Lu Youzhen that it might be mixed with industrial alcohol.

Anyway, every time I pour it out, it has a not very pleasant smell.

Mrs. Lu was unhappy when she heard this, and she subconsciously retorted with curses, "To put it bluntly, you just feel sorry for the little bit of wine your father-in-law drinks. He only drinks a few ounces a day, how much can it be!"

"Stop arguing." The village chief said impatiently, "It's already this hour, and you're still arguing over such a trivial matter. What the Zhen family's wife said is not without reason. You should drink less wine, especially since Mr. Lu is so old."

After the village chief spoke, Mrs. Lu stopped talking.

The final examination results came out, and it was clear that Mr. Lu had suffered a stroke.

As for the cause, the doctor could only give a few possibilities.

For example, an unhealthy lifestyle.

Staying up late, smoking, drinking, etc.

In addition, Mr. Lu is old, and he is bound to have some underlying diseases.

"Doctor, what should we do now? How should we treat it?" Old Mrs. Lu asked hurriedly.

"I suggest that the patient undergo surgery, followed by medication," the doctor said. "But the old man is old, and surgery is definitely risky. The conditions in our town hospital are limited, so it would be best if he could go to the city hospital."

Ge Guifen thought for a moment and asked again, "After the operation, can we guarantee that he will recover exactly as before?"

"It cannot be said that it is completely impossible. It still depends on the patient's recovery. However, the patient is old, so his recovery will definitely not be as good as that of a young person," the doctor said. "You should also be mentally prepared. If the recovery is good, then there will be no problem with daily walking, but it will probably not be as flexible as before the disease. In addition, there may be some difficulties in language. Slurred speech, slow speech, or even loss of language ability, it is hard to say. However, if you can exercise well for rehabilitation and pay attention to good living habits, it is still possible to recover better and better."

Ge Guifen calmed down when he heard this.

What the doctor meant was that even if Mr. Lu was cured, he would still be a useless person, right?
