Grandma Song waved her hand, not caring at all whether she could see or not.
But is that really the case?
No, ever since Grandma Song developed eye problems, she felt like a burden, but she was also worried about adding to her children's and grandchildren's burdens, so she didn't tell anyone.
If it weren't for Uncle Song's eldest daughter-in-law noticing something amiss and mentioning it to her husband, which then reached Uncle Song and his wife's minds, it's likely that Grandma Song's eye problem wouldn't have been discovered by her family for quite some time.
"How can it not be a big deal? Mother, you must be feeling terrible about not being able to see. You kept it from me and my two older brothers just so you wouldn't be a burden to us!"
Song Sanhe's eyes welled up with tears, and he became more and more heartbroken as he spoke.
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still cry like a little child. You're really something!"
Judging from Song Sanhe's voice, Grandma Song could tell that her son was probably in tears. She felt comforted, knowing that the son she had raised with such care had not been raised in vain, and that he was showing concern for his old mother. However, she couldn't help but complain.
"I don't!"
Song Sanhe denied it. He wiped his face casually and then looked at Song Lan: "Lanlan, you should take a look at Grandma. As long as your grandma can be cured, it doesn't matter how much money it costs, whether it's medicine or surgery. As long as your grandma's eyes are cured, that's all that matters!"
"Shut up, stop putting pressure on my precious granddaughter."
Grandma Song scolded Song Sanhe in a bad mood.
Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe said, "I'm not trying to put pressure on Lanlan. I'm just telling the child that you should try to cure your eyes."
"Mother, our Lanlan is a very skilled doctor. She can definitely help you see again. Let's have Lanlan examine you now." This was Li Jumei's voice.
"I've already lived to this age..."
Seeing the pain in Song Sanhe and Li Jumei's eyes, Song Lan interrupted Grandma Song with a smile, "Grandma, let me examine you!" Undoubtedly, Song Lan was distressed for her elderly parents and did not want the old lady to continue to be discouraged by her eyes.
Because if someone has seen the light and then suddenly finds themselves in complete darkness, it's hard for anyone to bear. For those who care about their families, it can even feel like a burden, causing them to lose the will to live and find release for themselves and their families.
At present, Song Lan felt that Grandma Song had this mentality to some extent.
Or rather, in her grandmother's view, she was unlikely to regain her sight, so she repeatedly expressed that she was already fortunate to have lived this long.
"Mom, let's listen to Lanlan, okay?"
Song Sanhe got up and walked to Grandma Song's side, saying, "Let Lanlan take your pulse first, and then examine your eyes thoroughly. As for whether it can be treated, Lanlan is a doctor, she will definitely know."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Song nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Lanlan." She slowly raised her left hand.
Song Sanhe quickly helped by placing Grandma Song's left hand on the pulse pillow.
Time passed slowly. After Song Lan finished taking Grandma Song's pulse, she examined the old lady's eyes and finally gave her conclusion.
"It's cataracts..."
After recounting Grandma Song's test results, Song Lan then told Song Sanhe and Li Jumei about Grandma Song's current health condition. Finally, she said, "I'll perform the cataract surgery on Grandma."
However, there are a few things to note before the surgery... After Grandma regains her sight, I will prescribe some herbal medicine to help her recover..."
Actually, Grandma Song doesn't have any major health problems, just some osteoporosis and weak spleen and stomach. With acupuncture and herbal medicine, she should be able to recover her health without much trouble.
After listening to what Song Lan said, Song Sanhe and Li Jumei's expressions visibly relaxed.
Song Lan then inquired about Grandma Song's recent habits. After getting the answers she wanted, she turned her attention to Song Sanhe and his wife: "Dad, Mom, we're a bit rushed this noon. I'll be performing surgery on Grandma this afternoon."
When examining Grandma Song's eyes, Song Lan used her "Golden Eye" technique and, combined with her pulse diagnosis, determined that Grandma Song was perfectly capable of undergoing cataract surgery given her current physical condition. However, since noon was a bit rushed, Song Lan felt it would be more appropriate to schedule it for the afternoon.
Song Sanhe and Li Jumei had no objections. Song Sanhe said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"There's still some time before I get off work at noon. Dad, Mom, why don't you help Grandma to my house first, so she can rest up and be ready for the surgery this afternoon?"
Hearing Song Lan say this, Li Jumei asked, "Are Boyan and the others home?"
"I'm here!"
Song Lan smiled and said, "They will go to school to register next Friday." However, her brother-in-law, Qin Boyan, had already received his high school graduation certificate in July and would be going to the county town in a couple of days to participate in the new recruit physical examination organized by the county armed forces department. Once he meets all the requirements, he can officially enlist.
"Has Boyan signed up for military service?"
Li Jumei suddenly asked.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded and said with a smile, "I'll go for a physical exam the day after tomorrow."
"You'll definitely be elected!"
Li Jumei spoke with certainty.
“My second brother is in good physical condition and has graduated from high school, so he has a high chance of being selected.”
Song Lan spoke modestly, but in her heart she absolutely agreed with what Li Jumei said. After all, her brother-in-law Qin Boyan had been trained by her for a whole year and had been soaked in a medicinal bath to temper and restrain him. Whether in terms of physical fitness or mental reaction, he was definitely one of the best among his peers.
The leader in charge of recruitment will be all smiles when he sees such a promising candidate!
How could they not pull people into the queue?
"Dr. Song, a patient has come to see you!"
Wang Ping's voice came from outside the consultation room.
Before Song Lan could say anything, Grandma Song stood up and was helped to the side by Song Sanhe and Li Jumei, making room for the patients who came for the consultation.
Li Jumei: "Lanlan, you go ahead with your work, we'll come to your place!"
"Be careful on the road!"
Standing up, Song Lan escorted the three of them to the door of the clinic.
Li Jumei nodded and said, "Let's go in." She withdrew her gaze from Song Lan and, together with Song Sanhe, helped Grandma Song walk away.
"Third brother's wife, how about you help me to Lanlan's house? You can stay at the hospital and wait for Lanlan to get off work. That way you can take care of her on the way."
As she walked out of the outpatient hall, Grandma Song stopped and said something to Li Jumei.
"Mother, I understand what you mean, but don't worry, Lanlan has Yanzheng to pick her up!"
Li Jumei responded with a smile and continued walking with Song Sanhe.
"You're not lying to this old woman?"
Her beloved granddaughter is pregnant with twins, so she can't afford to be careless.
"Mother, Meizi didn't lie to you."
Song Sanhe said, "Ever since Yan Zheng learned that Lan Lan was pregnant, he has started picking her up and dropping her off at get off work to prevent her from getting into any trouble on the way."
"That's good."
Grandma Song was finally relieved.

Sitting in the speeding jeep, Mrs. Chen glanced out the window, then looked at the passenger seat and asked, "Approximately how much longer until we arrive?"
