Not long after, Xu Guangtian came in. He sat down in a chair, still feeling exhausted.
"How is it?" he asked.
Xu Xiangyang shook his head. "The doctor is examining you. Wait a bit."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a nurse came out of the room.
"Come with me to pay the fee."
He left after saying just one sentence.
Xu Xiangyang immediately followed; he had plenty of money.
"Pay a 30 yuan deposit first, then pay more if needed, and we'll refund any excess." The nurse handed a slip to the payment counter.
Xu Xiangyang took out fifty yuan and said, "Try to use the best medicine; money is not a problem."
As long as he's alright, he doesn't care how much it costs.
The nurse glanced at him, surprised that he was actually quite filial.
We went back over there and waited, and the doctor didn't come out until more than half an hour later.
"The old lady has a slight heart attack, so you'd better not let her have too much emotional fluctuation. She'll be on IV drips for a few days to be observed, and she can be discharged if everything is fine."
At that time, medical conditions were limited, especially since it was a myocardial infarction; there were no available treatment options.
If you want to get treatment, you'll have to go abroad; otherwise, you can only try to recuperate slowly.
Xu Xiangyang understood the situation. After seeing the doctor off, he followed the nurse to a room where there were no other patients.
They only arranged an empty room because they paid a lot of money; otherwise, it would be a communal ward where you wouldn't get proper rest.
Moreover, at that time, single rooms were reserved for cadres. Unless you had a letter of introduction, you would not be given a single room.
"What's going on?" Wang Zhongshan asked anxiously.
Grandma Wang suddenly collapsed and couldn't get up, which startled him. This had never happened before; it was the first time.
Xu Xiangyang explained the heart attack and instructed them not to let Grandma Wang be stimulated in the future, as this disease is no joke.
Back in the ward, Grandma Wang was a little weak and had already fallen asleep.
Wang Zhongshan felt a pang of heartache seeing his wife's pale face. He had served in the army in his younger years and had never had time to spend with his wife and children.
By the time he was injured and discharged from the army, he was almost forty. Over the years, he had been taken care of by others. Now, looking at the person who had been with him all his life, he has grown old.
"You guys go back first." He told Xu Xiangyang and the others to go back first, wanting to stay here by himself.
Xu Xiangyang did not agree. "Grandpa, I'll stay here with you. I don't have to go to work. Let Dad go back first."
He's fine right now, it's pointless for so many people to get so anxious and upset.
This time, Wang Zhongshan disagreed. He said, "Xiangyang, you go back with your father. Just bring him breakfast tomorrow morning. Your grandfather is in good health, you know that."
Indeed, although the old man's legs are not very smooth, his health is fine.
Xu Xiangyang had no choice but to agree and went back with Xu Guangtian first.
At this point, insisting on these things is useless; it's better to listen to him and stop him from worrying.
After returning home, Xu Xiangyang went to sleep first, planning to deliver the food earlier the next day.
After all, you can't sleep that late in a hospital like you can at home.
The next morning, Wang Xiumin got up early and prepared the meal.
Because Grandma Wang was sick, she made millet porridge and eggs. These are the most nourishing foods, suitable for older people, and easy to digest.
Xu Xiangyang was carrying his lunchbox and walking out when Wang Xiumin stopped him just before he left.
"Son, is your grandma really alright?" she asked, her face filled with unease.
After all, she's her own mother, how could she not worry? But with only two months left until she gives birth, she was also afraid that going there would cause her to rush into premature labor.
This conflicting feeling made her think that she might as well go and see for herself.
Since I'm worried anyway, maybe taking a look will make me feel better?
Xu Xiangyang patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Mom, Grandma is really fine, but she needs to rest for a few days before she can come back. You'll believe me, right?"
Wang Xiumin nodded seriously; of course she would believe what her son said.
"Son, take good care of your grandma and grandpa."
Xu Xiangyang knew exactly what was going on without needing to say it.
When they arrived at the hospital, Wang Zhongshan was still sitting by the bedside. It was unclear whether he had slept that night.
"Grandpa." Xu Xiangyang walked over and put the food on the table. "Is Grandma awake?"
Wang Zhongshan rubbed his eyes, looking exhausted. He hadn't slept a wink last night because he was worried. At his age, he couldn't even handle a sleepless night.
"No, I woke up in the middle of the night and drank some water." His voice sounded slightly tired.
Xu Xiangyang said to him, "Grandpa, you need to take care of yourself. Eat something and go take a nap over there. I'll watch over you from here."
If we send Wang Zhongshan back, he definitely won't agree. So let him sleep next to us, and he can still see Grandma Wang.
Wang Zhongshan nodded in agreement, drank some millet porridge, and then went to lie down next to him.
Seeing him eat so little, Xu Xiangyang wanted to advise him, but then hesitated, afraid that he would get even more agitated, so he remained silent.
Never mind, as long as Granny Wang wakes up, Wang Zhongshan will naturally get better.
Xu Xiangyang sat there, and around eight o'clock, Grandma Wang woke up.
"Xiangyang." Her voice was a little weak. Seeing her grandson here, she felt inexplicably at ease.
Xu Xiangyang quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Grandma, how are you feeling?"
Myocardial infarction is a rather strange disease; usually, once it occurs, there is no cure. However, there are also people who never have another heart attack in their entire lives.
Grandma Wang checked herself over and felt fine. "There's nothing wrong, I just feel hungry."
This is a good thing!
Xu Xiangyang helped her up and then fed her some millet porridge. The porridge was still warm, just right for her to eat, not too hot to burn her mouth.
Actually, it was taken out of the space, otherwise it would have been completely cold long ago.
Grandma Wang ate her porridge in small bites, and then ate an egg.
She ate a little and then stopped, saying to the person in front of her, "Xiangyang, you should go about your business. Grandma is fine now."
She felt a little stronger after finishing her meal. She was feeling better now and not as uncomfortable as she had yesterday.
Xu Xiangyang shook his head and said, "Grandma, you should take good care of yourself. I have nothing to do right now."
Actually, he has to go to work these two days, but it's okay for him to take two days off.
Anyway, the boss took advantage of him on this business trip, so giving him a few more days off won't be a problem.
Grandma Wang obviously didn't believe him, but before she could say anything more, the door outside was pushed open forcefully.
After the door was pushed open, it slammed against the wall with a loud "bang," making Grandma Wang's heart tremble.
If I see someone opening the door, I won't be startled even if the noise is loud.
But she didn't see anything, and the sudden sound was unbearable for her.
"Aren't there empty beds? Why do you say there aren't any available?" a dissatisfied female voice rang out.
"I think your hospital is doing this on purpose. Are you deliberately bullying us because we're from the countryside? You have empty beds but you're giving us so many people in the ward. What do you mean by that!"
