Chapter 151 Rehabilitation Treatment
The next day, Xiao Qingru accompanied Xu Muzhou and Xu's mother to the hospital, settled them down first, and then went to the mall to buy things.
Everyone had gone far away, but Xu Muzhou was still standing by the window, staring eagerly.
Xu's mother couldn't help laughing, "Qingru will be back soon."
Xu Muzhou blushed and looked away.
Just at this moment the doctor came with the instruments for treatment. Xu Muzhou cooperated and lay on the bed, starting a new round of treatment.
One needs to take a bus to get from the hospital to the department store. Having lived in Beijing for two years, Xiao Qingru is already familiar with the route.
I got on the bus as I was familiar with the route.
I went to the mall and bought a set of small clothes for Song Yuan's child, and some nourishing dry goods for Song Yuan.
It was a rare occasion that Xiao Qingru wanted to send something to her parents who were far away in the southwest.
She hasn't been back to Southwest China in the past two years and always feels sorry for them.
I can't show my filial piety to my mother in person, so I can only express my feelings with these things.
After shopping all over the mall, I finally bought a warm cashmere sweater for each of us and a pair of cold-resistant and non-slip boots for my mother.
Because everything I bought was imported, I spent more than a hundred yuan in one go.
Although she felt bad about spending the money, Xiao Qingru was still willing to spend it as long as it was spent on her career.
She and Xu Muzhou had savings, and Xu Muzhou also received a subsidy every month, so as long as they didn't have any major expenses, they could get by.
Finally, she bought two kilograms of wool and went to the post office carrying the large and small bags of things.
I sent the things to the Qianjin production team and the family home, and returned to the hospital with only the wool.
Xu Muzhou was practicing leg lifts under the guidance of a doctor. When he saw Xiao Qingru coming back, a smile appeared on his face.
"Have you bought everything?"
Xiao Qingru nodded, "They have all been sent out."
I sat next to my mother-in-law and carefully observed how the doctor assisted in the training.
When she gets home, she can follow the rehabilitation therapist's instructions and help Xu Muzhou train.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu's mother said to Xiao Qingru, "You stay here and watch. I'll go home and cook and bring it to you later."
"We can just eat in the cafeteria, so you don't have to make another trip."
"It's better to cook it at home, but you can make it according to your taste."
Xiao Qingru knew that her mother-in-law was afraid of spending money, so she stopped persuading her, "Then be careful on the road."
"Do you want me to take this back?"
There are a lot of people in the hospital and wool is not cheap, more than 20 yuan per pound. It would be a pity if you lost it.
"Mom, please take it back for me."
Mother Xu picked up the bag and said, "Mom is leaving now. If you are hungry, have a snack first."
Only then did Xiao Qingru notice that the bag her mother-in-law brought with her actually contained snacks.
Suddenly I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She always felt that her mother-in-law treated her and Xu Muzhou as children.
"We are not hungry. Take your time. Don't rush."
"Okay, you don't have to send me off."
Mother Xu waved her hand and this time she really left.
After seeing her mother-in-law off, Xiao Qingru continued to train with Xu Muzhou.
The rehabilitation teacher was very familiar with the two of them and would give Xiao Qingru some guidance when necessary.
Xiao Qingru wrote them down one by one.
Only those who have experienced it know that recovery is not easy. If something is not done well, all efforts may be in vain or even make the situation worse.
The leg-lifting training is over and the morning task is completed.
Xiao Qingru helped Xu Muzhou sit up and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Even after two years, Xu Muzhou still felt embarrassed.
I can't feel at ease letting my wife take care of me when it comes to eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
He faked a cough and cleared his throat, "Just let the nurse help."
Xiao Qingru did not force herself and found a male nurse she knew to help.
Once you get everything done, there's nothing to do.
Xiao Qingru glanced at her watch and estimated that it would take another hour for her mother-in-law to come and deliver the meal.
The environment of the rehabilitation hospital is very good, so I asked Xu Muzhou, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
"go."
As long as the suggestion was made by his daughter-in-law, Xu Muzhou would obey it unconditionally.
There is a small stream in the hospital. The leaves of the tall trees beside the stream have turned yellow, and occasionally some autumn leaves fall. It is so beautiful.
Finally, the two chose to stop in a quiet corner.
Listening to the sound of flowing stream and feeling the breeze, it seems that all the fatigue has disappeared.
Xu Muzhou held Xiao Qingru's hand and said, "Wife, I suddenly feel that life is pretty good now."
"It's really nice for everyone to be together."
Xu Muzhou smiled and wanted to be with his wife every day.
My wife still understands.
He held Xiao Qingru's big hand tightly and said, "It will definitely be better in the future."
"As long as we are all safe and sound, that is the best life."
Xu Muzhou quite believed this. The body is the capital of revolution. Without health, everything is empty talk.
In the past, I always wanted to accomplish something big and let my wife live a good life.
Now I just want to live a good life, and when I recover, I will find a job to support my family.
The only regret is that my wife can no longer reply to the group.
Whenever he thought of this, Xu Muzhou felt very distressed.
For this, my wife has made a huge sacrifice.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Muzhou kissed the back of Xiao Qingru's hand and said, "I miss you."
Xiao Qingru glared at him, but the corners of her mouth began to rise, "You're getting sweeter and sweeter."
"How about a taste?"
"I'm not as cheeky as you."
Xu Muzhou teased: "There's no one here."
As he finished speaking, he saw from a distance that some family members were bringing a patient towards him.
Xiao Qingru was overjoyed, "Hey, isn't this someone coming?"
I pulled my hand back, it would be bad if someone saw it.
Xu Muzhou tightened his fingers, feeling uncomfortable without holding his wife's hand.
Seeing us two, passers-by stopped to talk to us.
Upon learning that Xu Muzhou had a spinal cord injury and had been paralyzed in his lower limbs for two years, he immediately told them about his own rehabilitation experience.
"My family has been receiving treatment for five years and can now walk slowly on flat ground. Your condition is already very good. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xiao Qingru smiled and said, "With your experience, we are more confident."
"Being able to stand up means there is hope. Don't give up."
The kindness of strangers made Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou feel warm in their hearts.
There are still many good people in this world.
The year we returned to Beijing, our neighbors came to see Xu Muzhou and gave us many eggs.
Although Xu's mother later repaid the favor in other ways, they have always kept this friendship in their hearts.
Those who were jealous of the Xu family before stopped gossiping later.
He was very friendly when he met Xiao Qingru.
After pushing Xu Muzhou around for a while, Xu's mother came to bring him food.
There is rice, minced meat, fried potato shreds, and boiled cabbage. It is simple but delicious.
"Mom has already eaten at home, you guys should eat quickly."
Xu Muzhou asked: "Did you really eat it?"
"After eating it, can I still deceive you?"
Xu's mother added: "It's not that we can't afford food. There's no need to torture yourself. If you get hungry, you'll have to spend more money in the future."
Xiao Qingru raised her thumb and said, "That's right."
It is useless to ruin your body and only bring suffering upon yourself. You will spend money and suffer. You should not do such a thing.
