Chapter 61: Don’t want to lose face
Father Gu looked at his friend who was even sicker than a few days ago, “Ruixian, Ruixian, wake up~”
Geng Ruixian, who was dying, heard a familiar voice, opened his heavy eyes, and saw his former classmate and good friend.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and was stunned for a moment. Then he swallowed two or three times with difficulty, as if his throat was sore.
"Cheng... Zhou... I... can't take it anymore." Geng Rui first wanted to ask his friend why he came to this damn place again.
But his throat was so dry that he couldn't say more. He was only two years older than Gu's father and was only fifty years old this year.
When they were eighteen, they met and got to know each other on a campus abroad. They were classmates for three years, and then went their separate ways after returning to China.
Twenty years later, they met again on the farm. Gu's father looked old, and Geng Ruixian looked even older, like an old man.
Everyone else had transfer orders, but he didn't. It wasn't because the organization had forgotten about him, but because his transfer order was maliciously blocked by someone.
Geng Ruixian knew it clearly in his mind. His wife and children severed ties with him and even turned against him.
In recent years, he even reached out to the farm and tried to kill him. If it weren't for his good friends helping him, he would have died long ago.
When his friend said he would come back to see him in a few days, he thought he was just being polite.
When facing the enemy, the strong man only shed blood but no tears, but at this moment, he was in tears.
"Rui, wait for me first. I'll ask Jiaojiao to come over and check on you."
When Gu Jiaojiao came over, she saw a skinny old man with disheveled hair and sloppy clothes.
There is more air exhalation than intake, and it makes a humming sound. It looks messy because it can't move.
The wrinkles on his sunken cheeks were deeper than the other, and his big eyes protruded from the middle of the wrinkles. There was more white than blue, which looked quite scary.
Another elderly man who was seriously malnourished, "Dad, how long has this grandpa not eaten?"
"It should be a few days." Father Gu said uncertainly. When he left, he only gave his friend a few steamed buns.
He didn't have any extra food at that time, and the few steamed buns were given to him by his brother-in-law.
The words he uttered were all what was in his heart when he was extremely worried.
Gu Jiaojiao understood that the old man had not eaten since her father and his family left.
grandfather?
That's right, he should be a grandfather at his age, but this girl calls her best friend "dad".
Could it be that I look older than Uncle Gu? !
Suspicion attacked Geng Ruixian like a mad storm, dripping onto his broken heart.
The turbulent waves in my heart seemed to be comparable to the noisy croaking of frogs outside the house.
"Jiaojiao, he was my dad's classmate when he was studying abroad. After 20 years of separation, we met again on the farm!"
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
classmate?
Is it true that the age gap between classmates of this generation is so large?
"Dad, then I should call your classmate uncle. It is fate that we meet again!
Uncle, can I take your pulse?"
"Jiaojiao, please help Rui first to see if he is very hungry. Do you want to give him a glass of malted milk first?"
Geng Ruixian shouted in his heart: I need it, I need it so much.
What a pity! He couldn't utter a complete sentence, and he didn't want to babble in front of the girl and embarrass his friend.
"Let's take his pulse first." Gu Jiaojiao was just helping Su Shuoci hang up the IV drip at that time.
Gu's father left in a hurry and shouted urgently, so Su Shuoci couldn't catch up, but he was very worried about his wife.
Before Gu Jiaojiao left, he repeatedly reminded her to bring her backpack with her.
I also asked her to bring a cup of malted milk with glucose powder added to it. No matter what kind of patient it is, it is not wrong to supplement their nutrition first.
"Dad, hold the cup first, I'll take Uncle Geng's pulse."
Gu Jiaojiao felt the patient's pulse for a long time. The patient was already in a critical condition, with severe damage to both his mind and body...
The patient couldn't drink glucose right away, mainly because he couldn't absorb it: "Uncle Geng, let me give you a few injections first!"
"Jiaojiao, you go ahead and pierce it."
Mr. Gu is a fan of his daughter. Without saying a word, he put the warm cup on the table and quickly stripped off his friend's shirt.
Geng Ruixian: …
He really had no strength left, otherwise, he would have said, "Give him a sip of malted milk first!" If he continued to struggle, he would die. He could already smell the aroma of malted milk in the cup.
At least give him a few sips of malted milk, don’t let him starve to death!
But Gu Jiaojiao and her daughter did not hear Geng Ruixian's thoughts, and Gu Jiaojiao was giving the acupuncture seriously.

Father Gu looked at his friend seriously. It was inevitable that he was worried, as could be seen from his furrowed brows.
Geng Ruixian has many scars on his body, including several round scars as big as copper coins.
Gu Jiaojiao knew at first sight that this man had definitely been on the battlefield, as the scars on his body were obvious.
After a few injections, Geng Ruixian felt a little better and was able to speak at least.
"Cheng Zhou...ah...is this my last burst of energy?"
"No, Jiaojiao's medical skills are very good, you will get better." Father Gu said affirmatively.
At his daughter's suggestion, he carefully helped his friend up and fed him a cup of malted milk mixed with glucose.
While they were feeding each other, Gu Jiaojiao had time to look around the dilapidated house.
In the middle of the room there was an old table with a missing leg. Although it was old, it was not too dirty.
There are also a few plates of flowers and plants on the windowsill. Although he lives a poor life, the old man lives his life with all his heart.
The old man's illness was very serious and he was sick all over. Gu Jiao wanted to draw some blood to analyze it with instruments.
"Dad, can I draw some blood from Uncle Geng?"
Before Father Gu could say anything, Geng Ruixian spoke first: "Jiaojiao, right? You can smoke. My body has reached its limit. You can study it as you like."
"Uncle Geng, I'm not going to do research. I'm helping you do tests and analyze what the disease is."
If the cancer wasn't in the advanced stage, she could have cured him, but Gu Jiaojiao didn't want to say it so clearly.
Uncle Geng was in very poor health. Even the terminally ill cancer patients in later generations did not look as bad as he did.
What if it's in the late stage? Then she can't be cured, so it's better not to give him hope.
"I'm sorry Jiaojiao, it was your uncle who misunderstood you... Chengzhou, who is Jiaojiao to you?"
Everyone has a restless gossipy heart, even those who are dying are no exception.
"Jiaojiao is the daughter of Yuehua and me. Back then, Yuehua's stepmother deliberately swapped the two girls."
"Niece, thank you so much, uncle. I wouldn't have survived two days without you."
Geng Ruixian's voice gradually choked and his eyes turned red. He turned his head away and wiped his eyes, not wanting the younger generation to laugh at him.
He died with peace of mind as he was able to see his good friend for the last time in his life.
When Gu Chengzhou saw his friend like this, his heart ached more than a knife. He felt helpless and heartbroken. He just hoped Jiaojiao could give him more time.
