Nothing happened that night. The next day, after breakfast, Li Yuzhu drove to the plastic surgery hospital, parked the car in the parking lot, and she and Zhu Xiaofei got out of the car. Then they helped Gu Xiaohong out of the car and the two of them helped her walk to the ward.
The three entered the ward and asked Gu Xiaohong to lie on the bed and wait.
Just after eight o'clock, a nurse walked into the ward and said, "Gu Xiaohong, it's time to go to the operating room."
Everyone feels fear before surgery. Gu Xiaohong said, "I'm scared!"
Li Yuzhu said, "Don't be afraid. The doctor will give you anesthesia during the surgery, and you'll be asleep and the surgery will be over."
The nurse said, "It's like this, the area of skin grafting on your face is quite large, so you'll need general anesthesia. The anesthesia will take about 5 minutes to induce sleep, so you really don't need to worry about pain. You'll just fall asleep and the surgery will be over."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaohong nodded with tears in her eyes and walked out of the ward with the nurse.
Gu Xiaohong's skin graft surgery covered a large area and involved many procedures, taking four hours to complete.
The doctor said that Gu Xiaohong's skin grafting surgery was very successful, as was her facial bone adjustment surgery, which fully achieved the expected results of the surgical plan.
Cosmetic surgery is like sculpting a work of art; the doctor knows best how well the surgery will turn out. After hearing the doctor's words, Li Yuzhu finally felt relieved.
Li Yuzhu asked, "Will she be in pain when she wakes up?"
The doctor said, "She will feel pain after the anesthesia wears off, but the pain will gradually subside. She needs to endure it for now. If she really can't bear it, she can take some painkillers, but I don't recommend taking painkillers. It's best if she can just bear it."
Painkillers can have a certain impact on wound healing, and doctors generally do not recommend taking painkillers or pain injections after surgery. It is normal for the surgeon to say this, and Li Yuzhu can understand it after hearing it.
The nurse quickly wheeled Gu Xiaohong out of the operating room. Her entire head was wrapped in gauze, with only her hair pinned up on top.
It takes time for the anesthetic to wear off, and she remained asleep under its influence.
The nurse pushed Gu Xiaohong into the ward, lifted her onto the bed, and then hung the IV drip on the IV stand.
"Call me at the nurses' station when you need your dressing changed."
Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing this, and the two nurses turned and left the ward.
In the afternoon, Gu Xiaohong woke up from the anesthesia, which meant that the anesthetic had worn off.
Li Yuzhu asked, "How are you feeling?"
Gu Xiaohong said, "My face feels like it's being cut with a knife."
It's normal to feel pain after having surgery on your face; it feels like being cut with a knife.
Li Yuzhu grabbed her hand and said, "It's normal for your face to hurt after surgery. I hope you can bear the pain; it will subside after a while."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaohong said, "I will."
She had a good mental fortitude and endured the pain until it gradually subsided in the afternoon.
Around 7 p.m., after delivering the equipment, Dong Damei drove Su Guifang to the cosmetic surgery hospital.
Li Yuzhu paid all the medical expenses at the cosmetic surgery hospital and left Su Guifang 5,000 yuan for living expenses. This money, including Gu Xiaohong's living expenses, was enough for their living expenses for two months.
Li Yuzhu said, "Sister Guifang: I'm entrusting Xiaohong to you. Call me when you're discharged, and I'll come to handle the discharge procedures and pick you up. Call me directly if anything happens."
Su Guifang said, "Don't worry, go back home. I definitely won't let you down."
After hearing this, Li Yuzhu nodded and said goodbye to Gu Xiaohong, then walked out of the ward with her older sister Zhu Xiaofei.
After returning to her parents' home around 10 p.m., Li Yuzhu asked Zhu Xiaofei to take the guide dog out of the car so she could keep it at home for the time being. She then said goodbye to her parents and drove home with her older sister.
Zhu Xiaofei, leading her guide dog, followed her mother into the living room. At that moment, Li Yufei also came downstairs. Her mother said, "You two, come and sit down. I have something to say."
Zhu Xiaofei and Li Yufei sat down on the sofa. Their mother said, "I had a fortune teller choose your wedding date yesterday—the 19th of the sixth lunar month. It's less than a month away. You should start preparing for the wedding."
Zhu Xiaofei didn't expect the marriage to come so quickly, and she nodded in agreement.
Mother said, "It's getting late, you should all go upstairs to sleep."
After listening to her mother's words, Li Yufei stood up, took Zhu Xiaofei's hand, and walked upstairs.
Li Yuzhu and her older sister drove back to their house. Just as they were about to get out of the car and open the door, the door suddenly opened, and they saw her husband standing inside.
Li Yuzhu turned the car around and drove it into the yard, while Dong Qing casually locked the gate.
Li Yuzhu got out of the car and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"
Dongqing said, "How can I sleep if you don't come back? I'm sitting in the living room waiting for you."
As Li Yuzhu spoke with her husband, she dragged her tired body into the house.
Li Yuzhu went into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe to take out a nightgown, turned around and went out of the bedroom to take a shower.
After showering and returning to the bedroom, she lay down next to her husband and asked, "Honey, aren't you annoyed by me constantly making a fuss and wasting money?"
"What do we need so much money for? If I met a girl like that, I would help her too."
Dong Qing's words are true. When you have no money, you can't help others even if you want to, but when you have money, helping others is a pleasure.
Money is something you can't take with you when you're born or when you die. When he meets someone he should help, he never values money that much. He's even more generous than his wife.
Take the house-giving incident last year for example. Three large houses were given away in an instant. If it were ten years ago, he really wouldn't have had that ability. Back then, he didn't even have a house to live in, and he was struggling to make ends meet. How could he help others?
Li Yuzhu said, "Go to sleep?"
Dongqing pulled his wife into his arms and said, "Don't go to sleep yet!"
Li Yuzhu looked at her husband with her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile, "Isn't night all about sleeping? What else is there to do?"
Dong Qing laughed and said, "Are you stupid? You're my wife, you should know what I want to do, right?"
Li Yuzhu kissed her husband on the forehead and smiled, saying, "Baby, don't be silly. Your wife is too tired. I'll get it for you before dawn, okay?"
Dongqing said, "Okay, I'll sleep holding you like this."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhu smiled happily and quickly fell asleep, resting her head on her husband's arm.
The pain on Gu Xiaohong's face gradually subsided around midnight.
She was very strong and didn't take any painkillers. She finally persevered through it all with her own willpower.
Once the pain subsided, she could easily fall asleep, and she soon drifted off to sleep. Su Guifang was sleeping on a hospital bed.
Zhu Xiaofei often suffered from insomnia after her engagement, and this night she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she tried.
She got up, left her bedroom, and walked towards the rooftop.
When I can't sleep at night, I go up to the rooftop to enjoy the cool breeze. The rooftop is also a great place to go late at night in the summer.
She went up to the rooftop and saw Li Yufei lying there smoking. She asked, "Why are you sleeping on the rooftop?"
Li Yufei said, "When I can't sleep, I just want to lie on the rooftop and find someone to keep me company."
Zhu Xiaofei looked bewildered and confused after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Honey, you've completely fooled me. Do you have anyone to keep you company on the rooftop?"
