Zhou Shutong raised his eyes and looked at me, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Have you ever done this job before?"
I shook my head, "No."
"That's serious. My father was hospitalized before and I was the one who took care of him. This is nothing."
My heart was filled with ups and downs. I was my father's biological son, but in front of Zhou Shutong, I felt ashamed.
"Okay, help uncle pull up his pants!" Zhou Shutong clapped his hands and said to me.
I quickly pulled up my dad's pants.
At this time, Zhou Shutong bent down and picked up a few balls of paper thrown on the ground and an adult diaper pad stained with feces.
I saw her carrying the basin to the toilet, and I felt very sorry, "I'll throw it away!"
I reached out to grab it, but she nimbly dodged it.
"It's okay, I've already touched it, so don't touch it anymore."
With that said, she walked into the toilet without looking back.
I sighed, feeling a sour feeling well up in me.
The family member in the hospital bed next door gave me a kind smile and said, "Young man, your girlfriend is really nice."
I smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Shutong came out of the toilet after washing her hands. I stared at her charming face and said thank you with mixed emotions.
"Why are you thanking me for being such a stranger!"
She smiled brightly and unexpectedly threw the water droplets on my face, "By the way, come out and I'll tell you something."
I followed her to the outside of the ward, and her red lips parted slightly: "I suggest you hire a nurse. My uncle has just been transferred from critical care to the general ward. He needs a reliable professional nurse to help you in the early stage, including eating, drinking, defecation, turning and massaging. It is too tiring for you to do it alone, and you may not be able to do it well. I suggest hiring a nurse for about a week. Especially patting on the back and turning over are very important for patients who have just been transferred from the ICU. They should be done every one or two hours. You need to be patted on the back once and turned over once. You are already tired from being in the hospital 24 hours a day. If you can spend some money on these things, spend some money on it so that you and your uncle will suffer less."
I nodded. I had just been pulled from the hospital bed by my father. If Zhou Shutong hadn't been there, I would have been in a hurry.
I looked at her in surprise and smiled bitterly: "How do you understand so well?"
I was secretly glad that she was here, otherwise I would be like a big headless fly.
She sighed, "My dad also had a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized a few years ago. I was the only one running around at that time, so I can understand how you feel now. If you don't trust the caregiver at night, you can rent a folding bed together. Stay with me."
I glanced into the ward and nodded, "I'd better stay with you in the hospital! By the way, I want to tell you something."
Zhou Shutong smiled and said, "You tell me."
I pondered for a moment, "You've been on leave for a week, isn't it time to go back to work?"
The corners of her lips curled up, "Are you anxious to rush me away?"
"Of course not. I wish someone could share the burden for me! But you have been on leave for long enough. If you don't go back, I'm afraid your boss will be unhappy."
"It's the off-season now, business is average, so it's okay to take one or two weeks off. Anyway, I have ten days of annual leave, so I use it. I don't like going out alone, so I just use my annual leave."
I gritted my teeth, feeling a little more guilty in my heart. I shook my head and said, "No, you and Feifei have to go back. If you continue to stay here, the boss will have to look down on you."
"It's too tiring for you to bear so much pressure alone. I just want to help you share a little bit."
My heart was shaking, "Can't you think about yourself? I always feel like I owe you for this."
It is most difficult to bear the kindness of a beautiful woman. This heavy feeling makes me feel both sweet and deeply painful. If she could think about herself, I might feel better.
She looked at me calmly, her teeth slightly exposed, "We just want to help you, don't feel pressured. Yang Jiamu took advantage of me before, so you stood up for me! You don't owe me anything, and neither do I." I don’t owe you anything. Since my uncle is fine now and you agreed to find a caregiver, I have to go back!”
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that she was planning to go back.
At this time, Lin Feifei and my mother appeared in sight. Lin Feifei moved lightly and asked quietly: "What are you talking about? Your expression is so serious."
I smiled at her and said, "I'm saying you should go back tomorrow."
Lin Feifei twisted her waist and walked up to me, and asked hesitantly: "How can I leave you alone? Shutong goes back first, and I will stay here with you for a few more days."
I resolutely refused: "You two have asked for a week's leave now. It's not appropriate to ask for another one. Especially for you Feifei. You already asked for two weeks' leave before and another week. It's unreasonable to ask for another week's leave. Besides, I plan to ask for someone else." Caregiver, I will go on duty early in the evening and rush over as soon as I finish the show."
What I said finally gave them reassurance. The two girls decided to leave tomorrow. Lin Feifei left her car to me while she and Zhou Shutong drove back together.
I found a nurse in the hospital and asked me to call her Sister Li. She cost three hundred dollars a day and was with her 24 hours a day. The nurse who introduced me was about forty years old, short and stocky, with a tanned face and pimples. The traces of time.
After Sister Li arrived, she began to take care of my dad in an orderly manner. With her here, I finally didn't have to rush around like a headless fly.
The five of us were squeezed into a small space, which made the already poor space even worse. I urged them all to go back as soon as possible with the golden ticket of not disturbing my father’s rest. After they left, I went to the supermarket and rented two folding beds.
I couldn't carry the two folding beds, so I decided to break them one by one and carry one folding bed back to the ward first. I struggled to carry the folding bed into the ward. Sister Li was kneeling on the ground, spreading a rough cotton blanket on the ground, and then rolled a pile of clothes into a pillow.
Sister Li saw me holding up the folding bed as if I was being tortured, and hurried over to help. I suddenly felt light all over and gasped for air.
Sister Li smiled slightly: "I told you, I am here, you can just go home and sleep."
I tilted my head and glanced at my father who was lying on the hospital bed. There was a wave of emotion in my heart. I smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to spend more time with my dad. I had too few opportunities to spend time with him in the past. It just so happens that I can still be with him." You learn how to take care of me, and when you go home, there will be no caregivers."
The corner of Sister Li's mouth raised in an arc, and she said happily: "What a good child. You can rest on the folding bed for a while. I see that you have been tossing all afternoon and haven't rested yet."
While talking, Sister Li had already neatly unfolded the folding bed.
The joints of the folding bed are very flexible. With a soft click, the bed surface, with the help of springs, is like an unfolded metal wing, completely unfolding from the folded state in an instant...
