Chapter 72 Go see him
Before setting off, the brothers in the regiment scraped together a large amount of money, which was now being sewed into the lining over his chest.
This money is a token of their appreciation.
Ge Dazhuang touched the position of his heart, looked at Jiang Yingying, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want some hot water?"
Jiang Yingying came back to her senses, "No, Comrade Ge, you don't have to take special care of me. I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Ge Dazhuang shook his head. "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me. Before we set off, the brigade commander and his men told me that my mission is to take good care of you."
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Looking at his determined face, Jiang Yingying said, “Sorry for the trouble, I have nothing to do now.”
"Okay, sister-in-law, if you need anything, just call me."
"good."
Jiang Yingying took out the soles that had not been sewn yet. On this trip, she brought a lot of dry food and a lot of balls of wool to relieve boredom.
From Yunnan Province to Beijing, from south to north, Jiang Yingying stayed on the train for almost seven days before finally arriving in Beijing on the afternoon of the seventh day.
Woo woo!
The train has arrived.
Jiang Yingying and Ge Dazhuang squeezed out of the train with the crowd. There were too many people and it was too crowded at the train station these days. Along the way, Jiang Yingying saw many people jumping out of the train directly through the window.
After leaving the station, Jiang Yingying looked at the time and it was almost five o'clock.
She discussed with Ge Dazhuang: "Comrade Ge, shall we find a guesthouse to stay in first?"
During this journey, she almost smelled bad.
Looking at Jiang Yingying's face, which was slightly pale due to riding in the car, she looked much more haggard than when she just left Yun Province, and there were many dark circles under her eyes.
Ge Dazhuang said, "Sister-in-law, I know there is a guesthouse near the military hospital. How about we stay there?"
When mentioning the military hospital, Ge Dazhuang also paid attention to Jiang Yingying's expression, and she didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
Jiang Yingying nodded, "Okay, let's live there."
"Sister-in-law, if you walk this way, you should still be able to catch the bus now." Ge Dazhuang said.
With Ge Dazhuang's arrangement, Jiang Yingying successfully stayed in the guesthouse across the street from the military hospital where He Yan lived.
After she checked in, she asked for a large bucket of hot water and took a nice bath.
After a while, Ge Dazhuang knocked on the door.
"Sister-in-law, I bought some food outside. It's a specialty noodle dish from Jing City. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Jiang Yingying checked her clothes and found nothing wrong, so she opened the door.
Ge Dazhuang handed her the lunch box, and Jiang Yingying said, "Thank you."
"Sister-in-law, I just went to the hospital across the street to ask, and they said that the visiting hours for He Tuan have passed today, and no one is allowed to visit. Should we go there tomorrow?"
Jiang Yingying's hands trembled slightly, "I understand, you have worked hard all the way, you should rest early tonight."
"Let's go to the hospital to see him tomorrow."
"It's not hard, sister-in-law. You should also go to bed early. I will call you tomorrow."
"good."
On the other side, Lin Guifang and her friends were also having dinner, but no one sitting there had the appetite to eat.
After receiving the news that He Yan was injured and hospitalized, they were afraid that something might happen to the elderly couple in the family, and were also worried about He Yan's condition, so basically everyone who could come back came back.
In addition to the elderly couple Lin Guifang and He Jingqi, the eldest son He He and his wife Cui Wan, their fifteen-year-old son He Xin, the third son He Hai and his wife Lin Wan, their five-year-old son He Yunfan, and the second son's twin sons He Ping and He An who lived with the elderly couple in Beijing were also present at the dinner table.
Except for He Qing, the second son of the He family who was doing scientific research, and Jiang Hongmei, all the other members of the He family rushed back.
There are four brothers in the He family, and He Jingqi named them using the four words "He Qing Hai Yan".
Third sister-in-law Lin Wan is two years older than He Yan, not to mention eldest sister-in-law Cui Wan.
He Yan is the youngest son of the He family. When Cui Wan entered the family, He Yan was only in his teens.
Over the years, He Yan's sisters-in-law treated him like their own brother, not to mention Cui Wan who even raised him like her own son.
But now, He Yan is lying on the hospital bed, unable to move or speak, and the doctor says the chances of waking up are slim.
These days, everyone in the He family seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and everyone had a worried look on their face.
The old lady even hid under the quilt and cried secretly at night. They all pretended not to know, but who could ignore those red and swollen eyes?
Which of them has not shed tears behind others' backs?
But no matter how hard and difficult life is, it seems that people have to move forward.
Cui Wan's voice was hoarse as she advised, "Isn't the old Chinese doctor that my second brother's wife mentioned on the phone already on the way? He's so good, he will definitely be able to cure me."
She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, "If this old doctor can't cure me, we'll keep looking. We'll eventually find someone who can cure me."
He Jingqi said: "Let's eat."
With Cui Wan's persuasion in front and He Jingqi's words in the back, the group of people started eating even though they couldn't eat any more.
The meal was eaten quietly, as if it was just a perfunctory one.
Lin Guifang seemed to remember something and asked, "Is that child going to Beijing soon?"
He Jingqi's hand paused, and the others all stopped what they were doing.
They knew who Lin Guifang was talking about. It was He Yan's girlfriend, Jiang Yingying.
The He family was shocked to learn from Brigade Commander Guan that He Yan's girlfriend was coming to Beijing to see him.
They originally thought that after the news about He Yan was passed back, these two people might no longer have any relationship at all.
After all, it was that the He family and she were not destined to be together.
But when Guan Chuang called and said that he was coming to Beijing to see He Yan, He Jingqi's eyes suddenly turned red.
A few days ago, the He family received a call from Jiang Yingying.
However, Jiang Yingying declined their idea of picking her up at the station. She has caused trouble for others along the way.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble.
After hearing Lin Guifang's words, He Jingqi paused for a while and said, "According to the time, it should be time."
After hearing the answer, Lin Guifang lowered her head. After a long while, she said, "Comrade Jiang has come all the way here. Should we entertain her?"
As soon as she said this, Lin Guifang hurriedly changed her words.
"I am getting old and confused. Let's eat, eat."
But while she was eating, her tears kept falling into the bowl.
After being suppressed for a long time, crying sounds finally came from the table and in the room.
Several female comrades cried with red eyes and tears streaming down their faces. The three children, He Ping, He An and He Yunfan, also cried. He Xin looked at his grandmother, his aunt and the others, and then at his father and the others with red eyes, and the little boy couldn't help but shed tears.
In the guesthouse, Jiang Yingying ate up all the Beijing fried noodles packed by Ge Dazhuang, and then went to the end of the corridor to wash the lunch box.
After doing this, she went downstairs and left a note at the front desk.
Jiang Yingying went to the direction of the hospital. She asked the nurses at the station about He Yan's condition and the ward he was in.
The nurse told her that He Yan was in the intensive care unit and visiting hours had passed.
Jiang Yingying still got the information of He Yan's ward. She went upstairs, and when she passed through that long corridor, she felt that she had walked along this corridor for a long time and every step was very difficult.
When Jiang Yingying looked through the glass of the intensive care unit, she saw He Yan, whose body was filled with various tubes and instruments.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Jiang Yingying wanted to take a closer look at him, but found that her sight was blocked by fog. She wiped her eyes again and again with her hands, and tears kept falling.
After hearing the news from Jiang Chao in the family compound, Jiang Yingying felt a surge of energy in her heart pushing her forward. Along the way, the thought of meeting He Yan was supporting her.
So what now?
She saw it, but what happened after that?
In an instant, overwhelming sadness and confusion swept over Jiang Yingying.
"You, who are you?"
Jiang Yingying heard the voice behind her, and she wiped her face with the back of her hand, but the traces of tears on her face were still very obvious.
She turned around and saw a couple who looked elderly.
The lesbian's eyes were red and swollen, and the comrade looked serious with a lot of red bloodshot in his eyes, looking quite haggard.
Jiang Yingying felt that these two people looked vaguely familiar.
The people who came were Lin Guifang and He Jingqi.
The old couple felt increasingly uncomfortable sitting at home. Lin Guifang wanted to come to the hospital to see her youngest son, so He Jingqi accompanied her. The rest of the family members who wanted to come were persuaded by him to stay.
When they entered the hospital, a young nurse told them that a young and beautiful female comrade had just come to ask about He Yan's condition and ward.
At that time, the old couple's hearts trembled.
When they arrived at their youngest son's intensive care unit, they saw a lesbian. For some reason, even though they didn't see his face, the phone call from their youngest son that day popped into their minds.
"Dad, Mom, I've fallen in love with a lesbian. She's just like her name, always smiling. She looks so pretty when she smiles..."
"You, you are Yingying?"
After Lin Guifang asked, Jiang Yingying finally understood why she felt they looked familiar.
They are He Yan's parents.
Jiang Yingying wiped her face with her hands and responded to Lin Guifang's words.
"I, I'm Jiang Yingying." She said, "I'm here to see He Yan."
At this time, the instruments in the ward made a sound, and doctors and nurses hurried in this direction.
The three people outside the ward didn't care about their own emotions or the current greetings. They were all looking at the situation inside anxiously.
I saw He Yan being pushed out and sent to the operating room.
Jiang Yingying and the others followed behind weakly. The door of the operating room was closed and they just stared straight inside.
Lin Guifang almost couldn't stand and had to rely on He Jingqi for support.
"Guifang, please sit down first."
"No, I won't sit. I'm going to stand here and wait."
They didn't know how long they waited before they saw a young nurse running out. No one dared to stop her for fear of delaying the situation inside.
Ge Dazhuang also came. When he arrived, Jiang Yingying and Lin Guifang had been standing outside the operating room for more than an hour.
After he delivered dinner to Jiang Yingying, he took a nap. When he woke up again, he went to look for Jiang Yingying, but found that she was not in the room.
Ge Dazhuang immediately went downstairs to look for someone and saw the note Jiang Yingying left for him.
He asked in the hospital and hurried to the operating room, where he saw Jiang Yingying standing there blankly, her eyes fixed on the operating room.
There were two other people around her. Ge Dazhuang had been to Beijing with He Yan and had met them.
He knew that they were He Tuan's parents.
Compared to the last time we met, Chief He's hair has become much grayer.
Aunt He also looked very haggard. Thinking of what the nurses said when he asked for directions, Ge Dazhuang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and waited quietly.
Oh my God, if there really is a God, can you please bless He Yan to wake up?
He is such a good person who has contributed so much to the country and the organization. Can he be made to wake up?
Jiang Yingying looked in the direction of the operating room and prayed in her heart.
Jiang Yingying, who had always believed in atheism, hoped for the first time that there were gods and Buddhas everywhere.
The lights in the operating room finally dimmed and the doctor walked out.
Jiang Yingying's legs were numb from standing, and she moved forward stiffly.
Lin Guifang stared at the person in front of her closely, "Lao Luo, how is my son?"
Luo Yong took off his mask, looked at his good friend and long-time colleague in front of him, and said, "Don't worry, although this time is thrilling, there is good news."
"He Yan's will to survive is very strong. Given this situation, his chances of waking up have increased significantly."
"It is very likely that he will be able to regain consciousness within one to three years."
Lin Guifang's lips kept trembling, and her whole body was shaking.
"Really?" She sobbed, "Old He, did you hear that? Our son can wake up..."
Hearing her crying, almost everyone present had tears in their eyes.
Some of them did it because they also cared about He Yan and understood her feelings, while others did it because they couldn't bear to see her being too sad.
He Yan was in the operating room and had to wait a while before he could be moved to the intensive care unit.
"Lao Luo, can I, can I see him?"
"No, he just had surgery and his immune system is very weak right now. Let's wait until tomorrow."
He Jingqi patted Lin Guifang on the back and said, "Okay, we'll come see him tomorrow when visiting hours come."
They watched He Yan being pushed away from them and followed him closely until he entered the ward, while they could only watch from outside.
Lin Guifang wiped her tears and looked at Jiang Yingying beside her.
She said, "Yingying, you've worked hard today. You've been waiting outside the operating room for so long. Are you tired?"
Lin Guifang still remembers that she almost fainted outside the operating room and it was Jiang Yingying who stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth.
Later, she and He Jingqi supported her on both sides.
Lin Guifang patted the back of Jiang Yingying's hand gently. "If you don't mind, why don't you come to our house and stay tonight?" Her voice was very gentle, and she looked at Jiang Yingying expectantly.
He Jingqi also said: "There is an empty room at home, we will be very happy if you come and stay here."
Jiang Yingying refused. "No, I'll just stay in the guesthouse. No need to trouble my uncle and aunt." She said, "It's getting late today. I'll see He Yan tomorrow."
Lin Guifang wanted to say something but was pulled back by He Jingqi.
