Chapter 360
Wang Jiazhi's wisdom teeth are inflamed again. All four of her wisdom teeth have grown in, not one missing. The two upper ones came in smoothly, almost imperceptibly, but the two lower ones are a real pain in the ass.
The first one that came out just barely showed up and then stopped growing. It didn't look crooked at all, and she thought it would grow out completely, but for some reason, it just wouldn't. The second one was clearly crooked, and one end was pressing against the normal tooth next to it. It was a wonder it could grow out.
In her previous life, she had experienced this several times in Hong Kong. The pain would alternate between the two teeth, and she would toss and turn all night long, unable to sleep. After a few days of suffering, she finally recovered enough to have the teeth extracted, but she always forgot the pain after the scar healed and didn't go for the extraction.
In fact, it’s not that she didn’t want to have the tooth extracted, but it was a considerable expense for her. It was difficult for her to raise the money for the trip back then, so she tried to save as much as possible.
He never committed the crime again after returning to Shanghai, and died before he could commit it again.
Xiaoshuang also had her wisdom teeth removed. Wang Jiazhi thought that everyone would suffer from wisdom teeth. Unexpectedly, Meihui said that all four of her wisdom teeth had grown in and did not need to be removed.
When I asked him now, he said that he had never had any dental problems.
The one that didn't grow crooked was the one that hurt the most. He took painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but the pain was still so severe that he couldn't sleep all night. He could only chat with her to distract her. The next day, she was much better, but one side of her face was swollen like a guinea pig.
He stayed up all night with her, and the next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, he felt so sorry for her. But when he saw her pitiful, swollen guinea pig-like cheeks, her face hitting the pillow, he couldn't help laughing.
"you!"
After the toothache subsided, she was determined to have the tooth extracted. Or, after she gave birth, another woman in the hospital had an inflamed wisdom tooth, which was excruciatingly painful. The doctor said wisdom teeth are particularly susceptible to irritation during pregnancy. Now she thinks she was lucky; neither wisdom tooth became inflamed at the time, thanks to her thoughtful little cat.
He specially found a day to accompany her to have a tooth pulled out. The dentist said that the tooth might grow back and it would be a pity to have it pulled out.
Given the frequency and duration of the attack, Wang Jiazhi was convinced it was impossible for the tooth to grow back. This time, she decided to extract both teeth, believing a short pain was better than a long one.
The straight tooth was extracted smoothly, but the crooked one had to be chiseled into several pieces. Extracting a tooth is a lot like stonemasonry, with all that hammering and chopping, and a banging noise that's both deafening and a headache.
She was not afraid of this. If she had enough money, she would have pulled it out long ago and told him not to come, but he still came.
When the time came, he only took a few glances at the bloody mess before turning away, unable to bear to watch. She thought he had seen all sorts of bloody scenes.
The extraction was originally scheduled to take an hour, but because she cooperated perfectly, it took only half an hour. It was like pounding on a rock, and it lasted for a long time, making my head dizzy and the dentist exhausted. The tooth was broken into five pieces and extracted one by one. The gums were then stitched several times, and anti-inflammatory medication was given before I could go home.
She put the two teeth she had extracted into a small box as a souvenir. That night, because the extraction of the crooked tooth had caused extensive damage to the surrounding area and she was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep, he continued to chat with her. The pain was so severe that he carried her on his back and walked around the house a few times.
He asked for an injection to give her painkillers, but she refused. She felt that if she couldn't bear the pain of just having a tooth pulled, she must be too delicate, and would simply die in comfort.
I finally made it to dawn and dozed off for a bit. When I woke up in the morning, the pain wasn't as bad, but my cheek was horribly swollen, even more so than when I was a guinea pig.
He couldn't laugh now because he looked more painful than before.
I had my teeth pulled out on both sides, so I could only drink porridge. At noon, someone came to give me an IV drip.
At night, the child was sitting in her crib. When she saw him feeding her porridge, she would take a few sips and then lean her head on his shoulder and act coquettishly for a while. It took her more than an hour to drink a bowl of porridge.
After three days, the pain was almost gone, and I no longer needed the IV drip. Four or five days later, the stitches were removed, and this time I was completely healed. The swelling subsided, but a bruise remained on my face, which took a few more days to fade.
Only when he reached this age did he realize how fun it was to have a daughter-in-law at home, and it would be even more fun to have a daughter.
However, just after Wang Jiazhi completely solved his wisdom tooth problem, he, who had always been proud of having no dental problems, actually developed gum inflammation due to the growth of wisdom teeth.
He had already grown three wisdom teeth by his twenties, but never had a fourth. He had heard that not everyone has wisdom teeth, and that you don't necessarily have four. He always thought he might just have three.
After the age of 40, I still have to grow wisdom teeth!
He had experienced the equivalent of several lifetimes of others, and despite the disparity in status, he had also experienced the same hardships as Wang Jiazhi in his youth. Therefore, Wang Jiazhi always felt frustrated in front of him, because there was nothing she could do that he couldn't, or anything she had experienced that he hadn't.
This time, she finally had more experience than him. Drawing on her rich experience of suffering from repeated inflammation and excruciating pain from wisdom teeth over the years, she thought of how to take care of him so that his life would be easier.
The kitten sat in his crib and saw his father leaning on his mother's shoulder. His mother ruffled his father's hair and assured him that he would be well soon.
The inflammation subsided within a few days, but he didn't plan to extract the tooth. This tooth also looked perfectly formed, but it probably wouldn't fully erupt and would continue to be inflamed.
"Why don't you pull it out? It will be very painful if it gets sick again." she asked.
He couldn't explain it clearly, he just didn't want to pull it out. It seemed that even though it would be painful to leave it in, he couldn't let it go, so he just endured the pain it brought him intermittently.
In fact, after she died in her previous life, it was also at this time that he discovered that he had grown his fourth wisdom tooth. He also felt pain for a few days, but the attack was not that outrageous and his face did not swell.
He remembered hearing in his youth that the first teeth didn't start growing until after age 18, signifying maturity. He didn't think much of it then. After all, he'd been out in the world as a teenager, and by the time his wisdom teeth came in, he'd already matured a long time ago.
When we were working together, Lao Wu said that he had never grown wisdom teeth. Almost everyone around him hated him. Some people even said that this person had never grown up in his life.
By middle age, having experienced a lifetime of vicissitudes, ups and downs, honor and disgrace, he was as shrewd and mature as could be. Yet, he lacked emotion, and it wasn't until his final years that he understood what love truly was. It seemed as if that fourth wisdom tooth represented his emotions, beginning to sprout and grow in those final years, but tormented by pain until his death.
