How could the old man not understand this truth given his current status? It's just that he is old and retired, so he doesn't have so many concerns and just lets go; his son can support the family, and his grandson is promising, so it's time for him to enjoy his retirement.
Zhong Yuxiu could understand this state of mind, so she completely relaxed and lived her life as she pleased; she was not afraid of saying anything wrong or making any mistakes, as she felt it was too tiring to always restrain her temper.
"Grandpa, it's time for your nap."
Yan Rushan nodded, "It's time to go to bed."
Yan Guofeng glanced at his eldest grandson, then at his eldest grandson's wife, then silently got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He said to his grandson and his wife, "Leave the child to the nanny, and you two go upstairs and rest. Get some rest so you can go back to work this afternoon."
"Okay, we'll take a shower and go to bed. Don't worry about us." Zhong Yuxiu responded with a smile beside the small bed.
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly, turned around and went back to the bedroom.
"Brother Yan, you wash first, I'll go after you're done."
"Together." Yan Rushan stood up and called out, "Auntie Wang, take good care of the children. We're going upstairs to sleep."
Wang Daya arrived before her: "Okay, you and Comrade Zhong have a good rest."
Yan Rushan took his wife's hand and went to the bathroom, where they washed their faces, brushed their teeth and soaked their feet. After they had cleaned up, Fang went back upstairs and lay down. Warmed by me, she quickly fell asleep in Yan Rushan's warm and strong arms.
Yan Rushan glanced down at the person in his arms who was breathing evenly, bent down slightly, leaned over and kissed her forehead; he fell asleep in this position, and when he woke up, his waist was sore and his arms were numb because of the position.
Zhong Yuxiu also woke up at this time, "What time is it?"
"One thirty." Yan Rushan looked at his watch. "If you get up now, you can reach the West City Courtyard at two o'clock."
"It's so late." Zhong Yuxiu turned over and stood up, not caring that she was not fully awake yet. When she got out of bed, she almost fell because she had just woken up and was not clear-headed enough. Fortunately, Yan Rushan helped her up in time, "Slow down, there are cars around, don't fall."
Yuxiu rubbed her eyes, put on her shoes and coat, and went downstairs with Yan Rushan. She washed her face and brushed her teeth, combed her hair briefly and tied it into a big braid, then hurriedly pulled him out.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong heard the noise and hurried to follow. The four of them left the house one after another. When they arrived at the Yan family yard and got in the car, Gu Lingguo discussed with Yan Rushan and asked Yan Rushan to sit in the back seat with Zhong Yuxiu, while he drove.
Yan Rushan did not force it and sat with Yuxiu; Fang Guozhong got on the passenger seat, and Gu Lingguo got on the driver's seat and drove out of the compound.
They drove her all the way to the First Hospital in the West City and parked the car outside the hospital. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong followed Zhong Yuxiu out of the car. Yan Rushan stood outside the driver's door and pulled his wife's coat closer.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you after get off work tonight."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and said, "We still have seafood at home, so I won't buy any." The food in her family was good enough. With Yan Rushan taking care of it, they could get meat every day. It was better than what many children of high-ranking officials eat nowadays.
Yan Rushan said, "Recently, a brother's family downstairs has started a braised meat business. I heard from Lin Wu that the food is delicious. Especially the pig's trotters. They use young pig's trotters that haven't grown up yet. The braised meat is soft and sticky, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth."
"Take two?"
"Okay." Two are not enough. There are many people in the family, so I have to bring at least ten.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and waved goodbye to him; Yan Rushan drove away, and Zhong Yuxiu led Gu Lingguo and the other two into the hospital.
When she arrived at the office, her teacher wasn't there yet, and she didn't know when his business trip would end.
"You two can find someplace to hang out. Don't wait here. The hospital is full of people coming and going. No one dares to deal with me." After the last time the Zhong family came to visit relatives in Beijing, the higher-ups attached great importance to her safety. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were the ones who absolutely obeyed orders, so they followed her even more closely.
"We'll wait for you outside." Gu Lingguo said.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head. "If someone out there really wanted to target me, they might already know you by following me around every day."
I'm not stupid.
"Let's sit further away." The person who spoke was Fang Guozhong. Zhong Yuxiu knew that he was a stubborn person, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore and sent him away. "Do whatever you want. Don't just stand here. Go do what you need to do."
She still misses the time when Haonan and Tian Shangguo were around. They knew how to keep a sense of propriety and always made her satisfied with people and things.
Fang Guozhong and Gu Lingguo sat a little further away, so they could see what was happening at the door of Zhong Yuxiu's office first.
She shook her head and sighed, then sat on a chair, took out yesterday's medical records, and prepared the prescription book; then she took a towel and started cleaning the office. There were people mopping the floor, but no one was doing the work of wiping the desks and chairs.
Moreover, the cleaning lady only came back to mop the floor when she was about to get off work; she left after get off work, and no one mopped the floor yesterday, so it was a bit dirty.
She borrowed a basin of cold water, wiped the dust off the table, hung up the towel, and sat down again.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Just as she was about to read a book, she heard a knock on the door. Zhong Yuxiu turned around and saw that the person coming was a patient, and also her old customer.
"Is my mother feeling unwell again?"
The man was wearing patched clothes, his face was sallow, and he looked weak and haggard. He smiled weakly at her and said, "Comrade Zhong, I'm glad to see you. I have a terrible stomachache. Could you please help me?"
"Okay, come and sit down." He pointed to the stool next to him.
The patient walked over and sat down, holding his stomach with his hands, his face full of pain. He probably felt numb from the pain.
"Just show me where it hurts." His eyes fell on her hands.
The patient pointed to the area of his stomach. Zhong Yuxiu took a look and nodded. "Put your hand here. I'll take your pulse."
"Okay." The patient raised one hand and placed it on the table.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't use her hand as a pillow as she took the pulse. Her spiritual power seeped in unconsciously. After a moment, she withdrew her hand. "Have you seen any other doctors?"
"I've seen it. I've had pain for over two months now and then. I started taking painkillers, but then they stopped working. I went for a checkup and they just said I had a cold stomach."
"......" Yuxiu didn't know which quack she was seeing. The veins on her forehead twitched. "Auntie, your illness is not caused by a cold, but stomach cancer."
"Stomach cancer?!"
The patient was stunned as if struck by lightning, his lips trembling in disbelief.
Zhong Yuxiu paused, then said calmly, "Don't be afraid. Cancer is not something to be afraid of. The country has developed drugs that can treat cancer. As long as you take the medicine on time, even if you can't cure the cancer 100%, it should be possible to control the disease to a level that prevents recurrence."
She couldn't express her further hope.
Nothing is absolute in this world, let alone a repair fluid whose effectiveness is greatly reduced.
The patient's hands shook unconsciously due to nervousness. "I don't have that much money to support me to take medicine all the time."
Zhong Yuxiu: “….”
"Where do you work?"
"Match Factory."
Zhong Yuxiu sighed. Match factories were divided into large and small ones. Some had very good conditions, while others could only provide a basic living.
