After boarding the train and settling in, Xiao Niangao and Aunt He went to the restroom.
Yun Jin and He Tingchuan sat on a bench by the window, looking at the scenery outside. Yun Jin wanted He Tingchuan to look at it with her, but realizing his injury, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
Thinking of something, she asked, "Li Aiguo was with you, is he alright?"
He Tingchuan nodded; "He's fine."
Yun Jin was relieved and comforted her, "You'll be alright too."
He Tingchuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, my wife is right."
As he spoke, he tickled her palm. Yun Jin, tickled, withdrew her hand, only to have He Tingchuan's fingers intertwined with hers in a domineering manner.
When Xiao Nian Gao came back and saw them like this, she joined in the fun and reached out to cover their hands.
He Tingchuan reached out and scooped the little rice cake into his arms.
Sitting on her berth, Mrs. He watched the heartwarming scene of the family of three and felt relieved.
The train journey was quite boring, but fortunately, the family was together, so they didn't find it boring. They ate and drank, and when they arrived in Beijing, they packed up and got off the train.
There weren't many people in the soft sleeper section, so it wasn't crowded when getting off the train.
When people saw that He Tingchuan's eyes were bandaged, they voluntarily gave way, without crowding or pushing.
Mr. He arranged for a car to pick him up from the station.
After they got off the train, they got into the car driven by the young comrade, who took them directly to the best hospital in Beijing, where two ophthalmologists examined He Tingchuan's eyes.
Yun Jin was also present. She watched as the expert doctors diagnosed He Tingchuan's eyes and then looked at the previous doctor's diagnosis, indicating that the previous doctor's diagnosis was correct.
He Tingchuan's eyes are very difficult to treat.
The worst thing is going blind.
Yun Jin and the others had prepared for the worst, but they still found it hard to accept the conclusion.
Yun Jin asked, "Is it corneal necrosis? If I need a corneal transplant, I..."
Before Yun Jin could finish speaking, He Tingchuan said, "I won't change."
Yun Jin pinched him: "I didn't say I wanted to switch to mine. I said we can wait. If someone is willing to donate, we'll switch."
He Tingchuan: "..."
He was just being delusional.
The two expert doctors said, "Let's try acupuncture first. If that doesn't work, we'll consider other treatment options. Don't worry, we won't give up on any patient. Please cooperate with the treatment."
Yun Jin nodded.
He Tingchuan cooperated.
Yun Jin asked, "Can he be discharged from the hospital and go home?"
"You'll be hospitalized for observation for the next couple of days, and then we'll see if you can be discharged."
Yun Jin and the others could only listen to the doctor.
He Tingchuan needs to be hospitalized, and Yun Jin stays with him at the hospital. He's mother takes Xiao Niangao back home, saying that she will come back with her grandfather tomorrow and bring them some delicious food.
Little Rice Cake asked He Tingchuan, "What does Daddy want to eat?"
"Dumplings," He Tingchuan said.
Little Rice Cake nodded: "Dad, wait for me, I'll make dumplings for you tomorrow."
He Tingchuan was looking forward to it.
The next day, Xiao Niangao brought dumplings that looked like misshapen gourds and cracked dates, but He Tingchuan ate them without hesitation. They were all his daughter's thoughtful gift, so how could he refuse them?
Yun Jin ate dumplings made by Aunt He; they were so beautiful that they made her even more hungry.
Yun Jin was glad He Tingchuan couldn't see it, otherwise she would have been laughing herself to death at Xiao Niangao's dumplings.
Little Rice Cake even asked, "Daddy, is it delicious?"
He Tingchuan nodded as he ate the dumpling that had leaked filling: "Delicious, delicious! My daughter's dumplings are always so fragrant!"
Little Rice Cake smiled proudly: "I'll make dumplings for Daddy again next time!"
He Tingchuan: "..."
He is blessed to have such a filial daughter.
Mr. He also came and inquired about He Tingchuan's condition from the doctor. He noticed that He Tingchuan had many needles inserted around his eyes and head, indicating that he was undergoing intensive treatment.
Little Nian Gao looked at the needle prick and grimaced, "Daddy, does it hurt?"
"Dad, are you scared?"
"Dad, you're so brave!"
He Tingchuan secretly thought that with his daughter around, even if he were shot, he wouldn't utter a sound; that's how brave he was.
When Yun Jin privately asked if it hurt or if she was scared, He Tingchuan hugged Yun Jin's waist and unusually acted coquettishly: "It hurts a little, and I'm a little scared."
Yun Jin's lips curled up; she was glad that he could show her a vulnerable side.
After two days of observation, apart from his eyes, there were no other problems with his body, and He Tingchuan could be discharged from the hospital. He only needed to come to the hospital once a day for acupuncture. After one course of treatment, we would check on his eyes again.
During the two days that He Tingchuan was hospitalized, his older brother and the others also came to the hospital.
Back home, Brother He patted He Tingchuan on the shoulder: "It's good that you're back. Take good care of yourself."
He Tingchuan nodded.
He Ziqian said, "Uncle, just tell me if you need anything."
He Tingchuan said disdainfully, "I have your aunt, it's none of your business."
He Ziqian said sarcastically, "Auntie has to go to school, and she usually goes to the hospital. You want me to go with you? Haha!"
He Tingchuan turned towards Yun Jin, who explained, "Exams are coming up soon, I have to go back to school to take them, I'll be with you after the exams."
He Tingchuan had no objection; he couldn't let her studies be delayed because of his eyes.
Over the next few days, Yun Jin went to school, studied for a few days, and then began to review.
She has fallen behind in many courses and needs to catch up.
Fortunately, there are many people in the family. Some people can help take care of Xiao Niangao, and others can help take care of He Tingchuan. After Yun Jin comes back, she only needs to stay with He Tingchuan and can lean on him to read and review.
Little Rice Cake is her father's source of joy; with her around, He Tingchuan is never bored.
Li Aimei received a letter from her brother informing her that He Tingchuan was injured and was recuperating at home in Beijing. She came to the compound on the weekend, and Xiao Niangao and Yun Jin went to pick him up.
