Yao Xiujuan quickly asked, "What if he's thirsty?"
The nurse frowned, thinking of the doctor's instructions, and continued, "Thirsty? If so, just wet a piece of cotton and wipe the corner of his mouth. In short, he's not allowed to eat or drink anything until he passes gas!"
"Otherwise, you will be responsible if something goes wrong!"
Yao Xiujuan wanted to ask something, but Chu Tian quickly assured her, "Thank you, we will remember that."
The nurse nodded in satisfaction. "Well, don't worry, he won't be hungry for long. Once he wakes up, he can walk around more to help him pass gas. Once he passes gas, he can eat something light..."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the ward.
Chu Tian waited until she left before looking at Chu Min. "Second brother, why don't you go back first? Go back and tell grandma that Pingping is fine now, she just needs to stay in the hospital for a while. It's okay for you to stay here..."
"That's okay..."
Chu Min nodded, thought for a moment and asked again, "Do you need me to ask for leave for you?"
"Please, second brother, please ask for a 20-day leave for me first!"
It's already November, and the transport team isn't very busy. They only send out a truck once every ten days or half a month. Even if they do, not all of them go out. So it doesn't really matter whether Chu Tian goes or not. But he still has to tell his boss if he doesn't go...
Chu Min returned to the brigade and returned the carriage before going home. When he passed by Chu Tian's house, he found that the door of Chu Tian's house was locked, and his own house was also locked. After thinking about it, he turned to Uncle Chu's house.
"Uncle, is grandma here?"
Hearing Chu Min's voice, the uneasy old lady Chu immediately stood up, opened the door of the main hall and shouted to Chu Min who was standing outside the door, "Chu Min, grandma is here."
Seeing Old Lady Chu, Chu Min walked into the yard and asked, "Grandma, you're at Uncle's house. Have you eaten yet?"
"Don't worry about whether I've eaten or not..."
Old Mrs. Chu quickly grabbed Chu Min's arm and asked anxiously, "How is Pingping? Why are you the only one back? Where's Xiaotian? Where's Xiujuan?"
Chu Min glanced at Uncle Chu and the others in the main hall, and quickly helped Old Lady Chu sit down. "Grandma, don't worry. Pingping was sent there at an auspicious time, and the doctor performed the operation quickly. Now you just need to rest."
Old Madam Chu's face turned pale. "Really, did you really cut open your stomach?"
Chu Min nodded. "Ah, yes, but the cut isn't big, not even as long as a child's palm. The doctor said it will heal quickly and won't affect Pingping's health in the future."
Old Mrs. Chu's eyes were red, and she slapped her thighs with both hands, crying, "How can I still be healthy after my stomach was cut open..."
"My dear great-grandson, you have to endure so much suffering when you are so young..."
Uncle Chu was anxious when he saw this. He stepped forward and took Old Lady Chu's hand, comforting her, "Mom, don't be like this. Don't get excited. Chu Min said Pingping is fine..."
Old Mrs. Chu pulled her hand out. Tears blurred her eyes and she couldn't see her eldest son clearly. But it didn't stop her from taking her anger out on her eldest son. She slapped him on the arm several times.
"You bastard, you're talking without any pain in your back. If the knife doesn't cut you, you'll definitely think it's okay!"
Uncle Chu didn't dodge at all, but nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I am a bastard, it's my fault, mother, just hit me, stop crying..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu seemed to vent her anger and slapped Uncle Chu's arm a few more times, but with much less force.
“·····”
Chu Min looked at Uncle Chu, who was still smiling even after being beaten, and tilted his head slightly, then looked at his wife, "Where's Lele?"
Zhang Ping pointed to the inner room and said, "Hey, he fell asleep. He cried all morning and didn't even eat a few bites of lunch..."
Chu Min nodded, then turned to look at Mrs. Chu, who had recovered her composure. "Grandma, don't worry. Pingping is really fine. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my younger brother. He never lies..."
"If you're still worried, I'll take you to the hospital to see Pingping tomorrow morning after I come back from the meeting at the transport team."
Mrs. Chu paused while wiping her tears, then took out a piece of paper from her pocket, wiped her nose, and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the hospital tomorrow."
He stood up and looked at Uncle Chu's wife and said, "Uncle Chu's wife, please take care of Lele. When she wakes up, send her home. I'm going back first..."
Uncle Chu's wife quickly replied, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Lele."
After a pause, he continued, "But, mother, you shouldn't go back, right? Didn't Chu Min just say that? Xiujuan and the others haven't been back for a while, and we don't have any livestock at home..."
Uncle Chu nodded and said, "Yes, you and Lele should not go back before Xiaotian and the others come back..."
Mrs. Chu waved her hand. "No, I want to make some chicken soup for Pingping. I'll bring it to him when I go to the hospital tomorrow. He needs more nutrition."
Chu Min was stunned for a moment, then quickly added, "Grandma, the doctor said Pingping can't eat or drink until he passes gas in the next two days..."
Old Mrs. Chu glared at her. "What are you talking about, kid? Is it okay not to eat when you're sick?"
Chu Min quickly advised, "Really, grandma, I'm not lying to you. Don't make the chicken soup yet. Let's go see the doctor tomorrow and ask if it's okay to drink. If it is, we can still make it..."
Mrs. Chu glared at Chu Min, then sighed after a long while and sat back in her seat. "Okay, then let's not stew it for now. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and ask the doctor myself. If the doctor says you can drink chicken soup, I'll see how I deal with you."
Chu Min grinned and thought to himself, do I still have to be beaten by my grandma when I am over 30 years old?
"mother···"
Yao Xiujuan watched Pingping open his eyes and quickly grabbed his hand, saying, "Pingping, are you awake?"
Pingping nodded weakly, "Mom, it hurts..."
"Pingping, be good, don't move. Mommy will go find a doctor..."
Yao Xiujuan quickly stood up and walked out of the ward while giving Pingping instructions.
"ah···"
“Ouch…”
"Xiujuan, what are you rushing to do?"
"Also, Xinxin, why are you running so fast?"
Chu Tian held Yao Xiujuan with one hand and Xinxin, who was rushing forward but bumped into Yao Xiujuan, with the other hand.
Xinxin rubbed her nose apologetically, "Dad, I was wrong. I was too anxious and wanted to see my brother..."
Chu Tian sighed and pointed to the innermost bed, "Your brother is there."
Xinxin nodded, "Then I'll go see my brother..."
Yao Xiujuan hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, Pingping is awake."
Chu Tian raised his hand to check the time and nodded, "About the same time. The doctor also said he'll wake up around this time."
As he was about to walk into the ward, Yao Xiujuan quickly grabbed his arm and said, "But Pingping said he was in pain..."
Chu Tian paused, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Pingping first."
