Because it was the first surgery, Mu Huaixi came early in the morning.
But Wang Xiaohua and the others arrived earlier than her and had even disinfected and cleaned up the operating room. Xiaohua rushed over when she saw her, "Where are the instruments that Teacher Zhu made yesterday? Hand them over for disinfection!"
Mu Huaixi followed suit and was no longer nervous when she saw the two of them busy.
"It seems that only Senior Brother Zhu and Jiang..." Mu Huaixi hadn't finished muttering in his heart when he saw Jiang Wenyuan coming in from the gate with sweat all over his forehead. The two buckets of water on his back were not shaking at all, and it was obvious that they were too full.
However, the family of Grandma Baiyan was even more nervous than the doctors in the health center. They arrived at Maidiping last night and sent their younger generations to squat outside the wall of the health center before dawn. When they saw someone coming, they would crawl back to the village, and the Qi family would get busy.
The first round of spring plowing has come to an end, and the villagers have a rare break from their busy schedule. They also heard that the health center was going to perform surgery on the white-eyed old lady. Word spread quickly, and everyone rushed to watch the fun.
When Xiaohua and Fengjuan finished preparing to go meet their mother-in-law, they were shocked by the huge crowd.
"Fengjuan! Xiaohua! Auntie is here!"
There happened to be acquaintances of theirs in the crowd, waving and greeting them, making both of them blush.
Brother Zhu, who arrived on time, was also frightened by the crowd, but he did not show any fear. Instead, he shook hands and greeted the villagers.
Mu Huaixi initially thought that Senior Brother Zhu was a bit conspicuous, but when she heard the grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law of the white-eyed mother-in-law gathered together and said that the person who came to perform surgery on the mother-in-law today must be a big shot, she understood his intentions.
"Don't be nervous, old man. The operation will be quick and you will be able to see immediately!"
Brother Zhu's words to comfort the white-eyed mother-in-law made her family very excited, but no one took his words seriously.
This is surgery on the eyes!
The villagers who had arrived one after another filled the courtyard of the clinic. They watched as the old woman with white eyes was led into the operating room. Only after the door closed did someone pat their chest and gasp, "My goodness, I didn't dare to breathe just now, for fear of blowing some...disease...bacteria into that room!"
"It's a germ," the person next to him said, pulling out an unfinished shoe sole and chatting with the person next to him as he worked on the stitches. "I don't know how this surgery is done. It requires cutting into the eye. Wouldn't the eyeball be ruptured? How can you still see?"
"Didn't the doctor say that there's something... covering Mrs. Qi's eyes, like a curtain? The surgery will remove the curtain, and she'll be able to see again."
"Is it true? It's so powerful?"
Before the people in the yard finished talking about this topic, the door of the operating room opened again. Wang Xiaohua and Li Fengjuan helped Grandma Qi out. She had a circle of gauze around her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, and she was smiling, a rare look.
The old woman rolled her eyes. No, Grandma Qi's eldest son immediately rushed over and asked tremblingly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Surgery, surgery can't be done?"
"It's done! I just saw it! Fengjuan looks just like Yingchun when she was young!" Grandma Qi was so happy that she scared everyone in the yard.
"Done, done? Done already?"
Grandma Qi’s eldest son was stunned, and the other family members behind him could not hide their surprise and started asking questions at once.
"Doctor Zhu, is the operation finished?"
"So fast? Is this operation so simple?"
"Fengjuan! We watched you grow up, so you have to tell the truth! What's wrong with your grandma Qi's eyes?"
Li Fengjuan's grandmother was called Yingchun. When she was young, she was close friends with Grandma Qi. Later, Grandma Qi married and moved to Furong Bridge. The two families occasionally interacted with each other and had a good relationship.
Li Fengjuan smiled happier than anyone else. "Uncle, aunt, don't worry. The operation is really done, and the effect is very good. As long as Grandma Qi takes the medicine on time, the gauze will be removed soon, and she will be able to see normally again."
"That's right, soon I will be able to see what my grandchildren and great-grandchildren look like!" Grandma Qi was happier than anyone else. She didn't know how the doctor performed the operation. She only knew that after sitting in the house for a while, her eyes could sense light and she could vaguely see people!
Grandma Qi's words quickly spread throughout the courtyard, and those who had just been questioning whether or not there were multiple surgeries became excited:
"Oh my god, this is too amazing! Mrs. Qi has been half-blind for decades, but she can see in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and a stick of incense. This, this is too amazing!"
"Of course not! Dr. Zhu, who performed the surgery today, is from a big hospital outside the mountain! He's amazing!"
"Will the health center still be able to perform this type of surgery in the future? My aunt also has cataracts. Can Dr. Zhu stay in our mountain village for a while longer?"
Some smart people have already run to Dr. Zhu and carefully asked about this matter.
"I won't be here long. I'll be leaving tomorrow." Doctor Zhu saw the visitor's disappointed face and pointed at Mu Huaixi and said, "Doctor Mu from the health center can also perform this operation. This is a unique skill passed down in her family. I'm here to learn."
Mu Huaixi was shocked and quickly waved his hands to deny it, "That's not the case. It was clearly Senior Brother Zhu who taught me..."
"Hey, why are you being so modest? You did Granny Qi's right eye today, and I only did her left eye. Isn't that right?"
Mu Huaixi had never been so embarrassed before. She blushed and nodded, "But..."
But it was clearly Brother Zhu who demonstrated the surgery on her left eye before she dared to operate on Grandma Qi's right eye. The truth was just as Brother Zhu said, but why did it feel wrong when she said it?
She tried to explain, but was stopped by Senior Brother Zhu. This kindly old man with thinning hair whispered to her, "Everyone carries a fancy sedan. Your technique is fine. You even handle some details better than I do. I can say I learned from you."
"Besides, I don't want a reputation in this mountain area. If I help you build your reputation, people who come to you for surgery will trust you, and the results will definitely be better!"
"Senior Brother Zhu..." Mu Huaixi was so moved that he stood at attention and bowed to him.
Senior Brother Zhu was so frightened that he quickly stepped aside. "That's unacceptable! Xiao Mu, if you really want to thank me, please pass this skill on to Wenyuan!"
"Of course!" Mu Huaixi assured quickly. She was also very grateful to Jiang Wenyuan. Although he was his senior brother, he gave her the opportunity to observe, learn, and practice.
Senior Brother Zhu told the two of them about some possible situations they might encounter, and promised to send more medical books and periodicals to the health center. Then he leisurely went into the house to drink tea, leaving the main field to the two of them.
