Chapter 186 He had many sweet dreams that night.
Xia Qingshu's leg had been injured for several years. Although Xia Qingli knew that there was almost no chance of recovery after such a long time, she still wanted to take him to try.
What if a miracle happened?
"Go see the leg." Xia Qingshu's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed. After hesitating for a moment, he said,
"No, there's no hope."
Xia Qingli knew that he was afraid of spending money, so he said no, and immediately said,
"How do you know if you don't go and see? The hospital here is more authoritative than the clinic in the countryside. Let's go to a good hospital tomorrow that specializes in orthopedics. Maybe there is still hope." What
Xia Qingli didn't say was: Even if you can't recover, you have to go for a check-up, and you can't let it get worse.
Guo Yumei, who was standing by, heard Xia Qingcao say that there was still hope, and her eyes unconsciously became hopeful. She hurriedly advised her son:
"Qingshu, listen to your sister, go and have a look, don't think about saving money, some money can be saved, but some money, we can't save!"
The leg is the biggest regret of her son's life. Her three children are all handsome. If Qingshu's leg can be cured, he will also be handsome and talented, and there will be no worries about finding a good wife.
"Brother, just go and have a look, we won't save money anymore. Last time, your legs became like this because of saving money." After all, Xia Qingcao was young and didn't know how to be tactful, so he said it directly.
"You are willing to sacrifice your life for us, so what does this little money mean to you? And if your leg is healed, can't you protect us better?" Xia Qingxi continued to persuade.
In everyone's eager eyes, Xia Qingshu finally nodded and agreed.
After talking for a while, Xia Qingshu and Xia Qingcao left Xia Qingxi's room. Seeing them about to leave, Xia Qingxi suddenly stopped Xia Qingcao and asked:
"You just came to me, what do you want from me?"
After being asked this, Xia Qingcao remembered and hurriedly said:
"Oh, basin, do you have a basin for washing clothes?"
"Yes." After Xia Qingxi answered, he handed him the basin that Lu Jingqi used before.
Xia Qingcao took a basin and soap, walked to the faucet in the yard, and washed the sportswear he had just changed.
After hanging them up, he returned to the room.
Although Xia Qingli had arranged a room for him when they first arrived and told him that he could rest when he was tired, he had walked on a mountain road and taken a car today, and was sweating a lot and covered in dust. Looking at the clean and tidy bed, he did not dare to sit on it, fearing that it would dirty the bed.
Now that he had washed his hair, taken a shower, and changed his clothes, he lay down on the bed with peace of mind. As soon as he lay down, he found that this bed was completely different from the bed he slept on in his hometown, and the feeling of sleeping on it was completely different.
He lifted the bed sheet in confusion and found that it was not straw but a soft quilt. He was surprised and just wanted to share it with his brother, but he found that his brother had fallen asleep.
His brother's legs were not in good condition. He must be tired after walking such a long mountain road.
Xia Qingcao didn't say anything and lay down.
The bed was so big and so soft. He had never slept in such a good bed since he was born. Moreover, it didn't creak like the bed in his hometown. It was really comfortable.
But what made him happiest was that in the future, when they missed their sister, they could come to the city to see her openly. His brother would no longer sleep in the bridge hole or next to the tree stump because he had no place to live. Moreover, his sister said that she would take him to see his legs.
His sister really didn't lie to him. Such a sister is really good!
After a tiring day, Xia Qingcao lay on the big comfortable bed, gradually feeling sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
That night, he had many beautiful dreams. He dreamed that his brother's legs were healed, and he could run and jump like a normal person, and no one would laugh at him for being crippled. He
dreamed that his sister gave birth to a cute little nephew, who chased after him and called him "little uncle, little uncle"... He
also dreamed that his father came back and his mother smiled so happily...

Early the next morning, Xia Qingxi and a few others went to the hospital. Knowing that they were going to see Xia Qingshu's leg, Lu Baichuan happened to be in the orthopedic hospital and had a doctor friend who was very authoritative in this field, so he took them there in person.
Because he had to go to work, after meeting that friend and explaining to Xia Qingxi and the others, Lu Baichuan hurried back to the unit.
During the examination, Xia Qingshu was obviously a little nervous and uneasy. After all, who would really not care about their legs?
Although it has been so long, he has already accepted the fact that he is a cripple, but his sister gave him hope again.
After the examination, the family waited anxiously and patiently for the results. After more than an hour, the doctor let them in, and then told them with great regret:
Xia Qingshu's leg bones were damaged, and the possibility of recovery was almost zero.
"Can it be treated and improved? For example, add a steel plate to fix it so that he can walk like a normal person." Xia Qingshu asked hurriedly. She didn't have much medical knowledge and didn't know if this was feasible. Although the treatment was not good, it would be good to get improvement.
"There is no such technology now," the doctor said honestly,
"and his legs have passed the recovery period, and physical rehabilitation is not very effective."
The most cruel thing in the world is to give hope and then witness this hope slowly shattered.
Several people came out of the hospital, completely without the hope they had when they entered. Seeing their family members who were silent and depressed, Xia Qingshu, who was sentenced to lifelong disability, tried to calm down and comforted everyone:
"Don't be sad, it's okay. If you can't get better, then you can't get better. I've gotten used to it all these years."
Seeing that no one was comforted, Xia Qingshu pretended to be relaxed and said:
"In fact, I am still lucky. Although my two legs are not the same length, I am much better than those who can't even walk."
Listening to his words, knowing that her son would be disabled for the rest of his life, Guo Yumei could no longer hold back, turned her head, and secretly wiped away her tears.
