At 3:30 in the afternoon, the high-intensity operation that lasted for more than five hours was finally over. Gu Ranzhou put away the necessary instruments and walked out, while Zheng Ling was responsible for the subsequent finishing work.
Finally, Lu Zhenchuan saw the operating room door open and hurried over to see Gu Ranzhou coming out. He asked worriedly, "Zhou Zhou, how are you? Can you hold on?"
Zheng Lianjun also walked quickly to Gu Ranzhou and asked worriedly: "Xiaozhou, what happened?" He knew that this kind of operation would take a long time, and the lung cancer alone would be enough to torture people. With the current domestic technology, it is very rare to really save people, and only conservative treatment can be done.
Gu Ranzhou, his face slightly pale, smiled and said, "The operation was very successful. He will be fine after a period of rest. However, Fourth Brother will not be able to work for the next six months."
Yu Jinhua and Gu Xiuhua, who were standing by, looked at Gu Ranzhou, who looked a little pale, with worry. But when they heard him say that the operation was successful, their hearts, which had been in their throats, finally settled down and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's good that it worked."
Seeing that Gu Ranzhou looked a little unhappy, Zheng Lianjun hurriedly said, "Zhenchuan, take Zhouzhou back and have a good rest! If there's anything, we can talk after Zhouzhou has rested."
Upon hearing what Zheng Lianjun said, Yu Jinhua quickly said, "Right, right, right. Look how anxious I was. I panicked for a moment. Xiaozhou, go back with Zhenchuan and have a good rest. You don't have to worry about what happens next."
"Okay." Gu Ranzhou agreed with a smile and followed Lu Zhenchuan away.
………
Mid-November, Imperial Capital Hospital.
Since Gu Jianqiang's operation was successful, to be on the safe side, Zheng Ling asked him to stay in the hospital for three months for observation to see if there were any sequelae of the operation before he could be discharged.
As soon as the three months were up, Gu Jianqiang hurriedly asked his wife and children to pack up and be discharged from the hospital.
Seeing her husband like this, unable to rest even when sick, Yu Jinhua said helplessly, "Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"
Gu Jianqiang didn't take it seriously. He had been lying in bed all day for almost five months since he fell ill. He was an active person, so if they hadn't kept him from getting out of bed, he would have walked around the hospital long ago. "I know, I know. I've been lying in bed for so long that my bones are getting moldy. I want to walk around to loosen them up."
Gu Jianqiang looked at Gu Ranzhou who was helping to carry the luggage and asked with some confusion. After all, wherever Gu Ranzhou was, Lu Zhenchuan would definitely be there unless necessary, "Xiaozhou, where is Zhenchuan?"
Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and explained, "Zhenchuan was called away last night. He was told he had an urgent mission. I don't know when he'll be back."
Gu Jianqiang heard Gu Ranzhou nod and said, "Is that so? The mission is important."
Gu Ranzhou was busy with his work, but he still asked, "Fourth Brother, are you really planning to go back today? Are you not going to stay here for a while?"
Gu Jianqiang shook his head and said, "I've been in the capital for almost four months now. My illness has been cured, but the village is still busy. I want to go back and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured."
Gu Ranzhou also knew that early November was a busy time in the village. Furthermore, Gu Jianqiang wanted to go back, but he might not be used to living here, so it would be hard to force him to stay. He sighed softly and warned them, "Alas... Fourth Brother, I won't try to persuade you anymore, but you must remember that after you return to the village, don't do any heavy work in the fields. You just had a successful surgery not long ago, and your body simply can't handle it. Don't try to carry it all on your own. If you feel unwell, you must telegraph me. Don't save that little money, or you'll have your health ruined again after just a few days back."
When Gu Jianqiang heard what Gu Ranzhou said in his ear, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, I got it." He also knew that Xiaozhou cared about him, otherwise he would not have sent a telegram back immediately after receiving the letter from him when he was sick, asking him to come to the capital for treatment and arranged everything. This kindness must be remembered.
"Fourth Brother..."
Yu Jinhua knew her husband had a stubborn temper and didn't listen much to her advice. He would listen if she said a few words, but when he got angry, it was hard to say what she thought. Now that they were out and about, only Xiaozhou could say a few words that would have any effect. So she quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Xiaozhou. When we get back to the village, I'll keep him under my watch and won't let him work. If I'm busy, I'll let Xiaopang go with him."
Gu Ranzhou agreed to let them go after hearing their assurance. "I'm relieved that Fourth Sister-in-law said that. I've already prepared Fourth Brother's medicine and put it in the car. I'll take it back when I get on the train. I've already told Xiuhua how to prepare it."
"good."
After Gu Ranzhou loaded all the things, he drove them to the train station.
The train station was bustling with people. Gu Ranzhou helped them carry their luggage to the entrance of the carriage where they bought their tickets.
The ticket inspector at the train station was already checking tickets. Gu Jianqiang saw that it was almost done and said, "Xiao Zhou, it's done, give us the luggage!"
Gu Ranzhou handed over the luggage in his hand: "Okay."
Yu Jinhua quickly took the luggage and said to Gu Ranzhou, "Xiaozhou, we are leaving. You should drive back too!"
Gu Ranzhou looked at the train and said, "Well...I'll wait until the train leaves before I leave."
Gu Jianqiang said, "No need to wait, go back quickly, we can't get lost."
Gu Ranzhou reluctantly agreed after hearing what Gu Jianqiang said: "Okay, I'll go first. Remember to send a letter back when you get home so that I know you have arrived home safely." After that, he turned and walked towards the parking space.
"good."
Gu Xiuhua watched Gu Ranzhou disappear into the crowd and said, "Mom and Dad, Uncle Jiu is gone. Should we get on the train too?"
Gu Jianhua and Xu Jinhua then responded, "Let's go back."
Gu Jianqiang and the others watched Gu Ranzhou walk away before they carried their luggage and checked their tickets to board the train.
…………
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, a heavy snow fell in the capital. Gu Ranzhou stood outside watching two children wearing cotton coats making a snowman in the yard. Suddenly, the door was opened. Gu Ranzhou looked up and saw Lu Zhenchuan walking in wearing a military coat.
Gu Yu'an and Lu Haoyu shouted to Lu Zhenchuan, "Big Daddy (Fifth Uncle)"
Lu Zhenchuan responded, "Yeah!" Then he strode over and carried out Gu Ranzhou. Gu Ranzhou was held in Lu Zhenchuan's arms for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
"You're back?"
Lu Zhenchuan buried his head in the crook of Gu Ranzhou's neck and explained, "Well, it just so happened that my mission ended a few days ago, so I kept rushing back and just happened to catch up. Today is New Year's Eve, and this is your first New Year's Eve in the capital, so how could I be absent!"
