Chapter 855 (Page 1/2)
Hearing the doctor's words, Huo Qingci frowned slightly, sighed and said:
"Doctor Zhang, my parents actually rushed over from my hometown to take care of me. It would be very inconvenient for them if they had to stay in the hospital like this. Besides, there are even fewer IV bottles today than yesterday."
Doctor Zhang nodded in understanding, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "In that case, how about this? You stay for another two or three days for observation. If everything is normal, I'll come and personally handle the discharge procedures for you. How about that?"
Huo Qingci thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Doctor Kuang. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me for the next two days."
Doctor Zhang smiled and waved his hand: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. This is what we should do. Just focus on recuperating and strive to recover and be discharged soon!"
After saying that, Dr. Kuang gave some more instructions, then turned and left the ward.
At this time, Lin Man came in carrying some fruit and medicine. Huo Qingci asked, "Where's my dad?"
"I don't know what your dad ate but he has diarrhea. I guess he might be suffering from a bad climate. Get him some medicine and let him rest in the dormitory for a while."
"Manman, Director Zhao in the next bed has been discharged. I just asked my current attending physician, Dr. Zhang, and he told me to wait two more days before being discharged."
"It's okay. Your father has taken half a month's leave this time, so he can stay in Hai City for at least a week. We will go back to the villa after he is discharged from the hospital."
"Manman, I might need to buy a cane. There are some sold at the supply and marketing cooperative near the hospital."
"Doesn't the orthopedics department of the hospital have crutches for sale?"
"The hospital has crutches, which are provided to patients. Patients can buy crutches from shops outside the hospital."
"Then I'll go buy you a cane now!"
She really didn't have the space for this thing, so she could only buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative near the hospital.
Even though his leg bones had slowly healed after being discharged from the hospital, she would not walk as early as Huo Qingci. She had to recuperate first.
Lin Man carefully poured the boiled medicine from the pot into an exquisite porcelain bowl, then steadily picked up the bowl of steaming medicine and walked lightly to Huo Qingci.
She bent down slightly, handed him the bowl in her hand, and said softly, "Come, drink this medicine while it's hot. After you finish, I'll go out to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Oh, by the way, we have a new telephone installed at home. Dad said Grandpa just called?"
Huo Qingci took the bowl handed to him by Lin Man and felt the warmth coming through his fingertips.
He blew gently, then slowly took a sip of the medicine. It tasted a bit bitter, but he still forced himself to swallow it.
He drank one mouthful after another and soon finished the whole bowl of medicine.
Putting down the bowl, he looked at Lin Man and said slowly, "Well, Dad went to the dean's office to answer a call from Grandpa before returning to the dormitory.
Grandpa said the nanny we hired has arrived, and he praised the children for being very obedient and sensible. Also, Grandpa told you to stay in Hai City for a while longer."
Hearing this, Lin Man nodded, indicating that she understood. After thinking for a moment, she responded, "Okay, then I'll wait until you've recovered enough to walk freely before returning. That way I'll feel more at ease."
At this moment, Huo Qingci suddenly suggested, "Manman, I was thinking, since I have a full two months of vacation this time, why don't I just go back to Beijing with you? We can also take care of each other along the way."
Lin Man frowned, looked at Huo Qingci's injured leg with a worried look, and quickly shook her head to refuse, "No, no, your leg injury hasn't fully healed yet. If you follow me to catch the train, what if you accidentally hurt it again?
I think it's best for you to stay in Haishi. As for the store, I can just close it for a while and stay here to take care of you.
Anyway, didn’t I just say that there’s a nanny at home looking after the child, so nothing will go wrong.”
Huo Qingci seemed a little unwilling and still insisted on his own idea: "But... I really want to go back to Beijing with you..."
Seeing him so persistent, Lin Man sighed helplessly and said soothingly, "Okay, okay, let's discuss this matter later.
You just finished taking the medicine, so take a good rest here. I'll go wash the bowl first, then go out and buy you a cane so you can move around more easily."
Huo Qingci heard this and didn't say anything more. He just replied, "Okay, then go quickly and come back soon."
Lin Man turned around and asked again: "Qingci, do you want to pee now?"

Huo Qingci shook his head. "Not for now. I'll use my crutches to go to the bathroom when you come back. My injured leg feels a little itchy and I really want to scratch it."
"Just bear with it for a while, it will be fine once the splint is removed."
After Lin Man carefully washed the medicine bowl, she gently helped Huo Qingci up and let him lie down slowly on the hospital bed.
Seeing him resting quietly with his eyes closed, Lin Man turned around and left the ward with peace of mind, preparing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to choose a suitable crutch for him.
Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Man carefully compared the materials, heights and comfort levels of various crutches.
After careful selection, I finally chose a wooden crutch that is both light and sturdy.
After paying, she held her crutches tightly and went straight to the milk powder counter.
She took out a certificate issued by her doctor and bought two bags of goat milk powder, hoping to help Huo Qingci supplement calcium and promote his recovery.
Suddenly she thought of her sister-in-law in the dormitory, so she picked up some snacks and biscuits that were specialties of Hai City and planned to take them back for her sister-in-law to try.
Carrying crutches and net bag, Lin Man returned to the ward happily.
However, when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that there were now two new patients in the ward where Huo Qingci was the only one.
One of them was a little boy of six or seven years old, sitting by the bed with a look of horror on his face, his left hand wrapped in thick gauze.
It turned out that the naughty child accidentally broke a finger while playing with firecrackers.
The other was a young woman in her twenties, with a haggard face and a splinted right leg hanging high in the air. She was leaning on the bed, staring blankly.
The nurse said that the lady accidentally fell into a ditch while riding a bicycle, resulting in a fracture of her right leg and abrasions on both knees.
After Lin Man carefully placed the crutch in her hand, she gently placed the exquisite snacks and sweet and delicious biscuits on the bedside table one by one.
At this moment, Huo Qingci, who had been staring at the door, saw Lin Man return. A faint smile appeared on his pale face. He moved his body slightly, sat up slowly and laboriously, and said softly:
"Manman, you're back. I'm in a hurry and need to go to the bathroom. Can you help me?"
Lin Man thought that there were two more patients in the room, one of whom was a woman, which was indeed a bit inconvenient.
Under such circumstances, she was naturally embarrassed to take out the urinal directly and let Huo Qingci solve the problem under the quilt. Fortunately, she had just bought a brand new crutch.
Thinking of this, Lin Man quickly walked to the bedside, first stretched out her hands and slowly helped Huo Qingci up.
Then he stuffed the newly bought crutch firmly into his left armpit and carefully adjusted the position.
Then, she gently lifted Huo Qingci's right hand, placed it on her shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, let's go. I will carefully help you to the toilet."
However, Huo Qingci shook his head and insisted, "Manman, there's no need to trouble you. I have a cane now and can go there by myself."
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but glared at him and scolded him, "You! Even though you have a cane, the wounds on your body haven't healed completely yet.
If I just hop over there with my crutches, what if I accidentally tear the wound? Better be obedient and let me help you over there, don't move."
Faced with Lin Man's concerned words, Huo Qingci nodded helplessly. He had to lean on Lin Man's shoulders, with a crutch in one hand, and walked forward step by step towards the toilet with difficulty.
Lin Man carefully helped Huo Qingci back to the ward from the toilet, gently helped him onto the bed, and helped him hang up his injured leg with a rope.
This has become her daily routine, as the doctor has advised that the injured leg needs to be kept in a sling for four to six hours a day.
Normally, Lin Man would arrange for Huo Qingci to be hung for three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon.
This can ensure the treatment effect without making him feel too tired or uncomfortable. After all, if he still hangs his legs when he goes to bed at night, it will definitely affect his sleep quality.
Just as Huo Qingci had just laid down, the boy sleeping in the middle bed suddenly let out a painful groan.
I saw the child twisting his body on the bed, seemingly in great pain.
His mother anxiously sat beside the bed, hugging him tightly and coaxing him non-stop: "My dear son! Please don't cry anymore, your crying is breaking my heart!"
