"We had minimally invasive surgery a few days ago, and the large blood clots in the brain have basically been removed, but there are still some hematomas, and the critical period has not passed yet." Dad Tao walked out of the elevator, opened the door in no hurry, and stopped at the entrance of the elevator. continued.
Song Yimian felt the hand that was getting colder and trembling tightly in his hand. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only squeeze it secretly.
"Grandma Tang is getting older. The doctor said that we should be prepared for the worst..." Tao's father said half a sentence and did not continue. He just lowered his head and remained silent.
Tao You and others guessed the last half of the sentence. Grandma Tang is already very old. At this age, sometimes minor injuries may take longer to recover, let alone such a sudden serious illness.
"When will Uncle Zhilin and the others come back?" Tao You had already forgotten her irritation at being concealed for so long, and she asked in a calm and good mood.
Tao's father put his hand on the doorknob, nodded and said, "He has arranged his work and will be back in two days."
——Arrange work. Grandma Tang has been hospitalized for such a long time, and she still can’t arrange any work well.
Tao You didn't understand Tang Zhilin's work. He just thought that it would be fine if he didn't go home for several years because of work. Grandma Tang still couldn't come back in time when she needed them most. And Aunt Tang Shuang, even though she had a fierce quarrel with Grandma Tang because of family issues and had been angry with Grandma Tang for several years, the situation is different now, so she won't come back? !
"What about Aunt Tang Shuang?" Tao You said in a more anxious tone, "She is in China, can't she get here?!"
Song Yimian pinched Tao You's fingers and told her to relax. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~ He glanced at Tao’s father and said: "Aunt Tang Shuang should have been here, otherwise Who signed Grandma Tang’s surgery?”
Dad Tao also said: "Your Aunt Tang Shuang has been here and will come tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this."
Seeing the four children in front of him who were worried about Grandma Tang, but didn't know what to do, he said, "Don't worry too much. There are also some people older than Grandma Tang who are slowly being treated. Grandma Tang has her own destiny." Look, it will get better." Tao's father calmed down the atmosphere, "Be quiet when you go in, the visit time will not be long." With that, he pushed open the corridor door.
————————————————————————————
The air was filled with a strong smell of hospital disinfectant, which was a bit pungent. Tao You couldn't help but wrinkle his nose. There was no one in the corridor, and there was no air conditioning in the room. Only the window at the end was opened for ventilation, but it still made people feel chilly and goosebumps, making them feel depressed unconsciously. The staggered footsteps of several people and the sound of a nurse pushing a trolley passing by from time to time broke the serious and low silence. Junqu Pavilion
Tao's father walked to another door and opened it halfway to let Tao You and the others in. The smell of disinfectant inside became even stronger.
The nurse at the door stopped them: "Coming to visit?" She handed them the registration book and frowned, "No, you can only let in two at a time. There are too many. You decide who will go in."
Tao You and the others were silent, all wanting to go in and take a look.
"Then one of you, please go in and take a look." Tao's father turned around and whispered to Tao You and the others, "You can only take a look outside the ward. Grandma Tang is not awake yet. It won't be too late to visit her when she wakes up."
Gu Yi took the lead and said, "Then I won't go this time and will wait for you outside."
Hong Xiqi also raised her hand, pursed her lips and said, "Then I won't go now. Xiao Youyou, you and Song Yimian can go. We'll wait for you outside." Seeing that Tao You wanted to say something, She leaned close to Tao You's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "The smell of this disinfectant is so unpleasant. I'm afraid I'll faint in it soon. Fresh air is urgently needed now. You go ahead. Besides , I don’t know you well yet, if you can’t see Grandma Tang this time, you will definitely be more worried when you go home.”
"After we've discussed it, register it in the book." the nurse urged.
After Tao You and Song Yimian registered, they went to disinfect and change isolation gowns, masks, shoe covers, headgear, and gloves. After being fully armed, he followed the nurse to the other end of the corridor, opened another door, followed another nurse in, and finally entered the ward area.
Tao You followed Song Yimian step by step. She lowered her head and stared at her toes. Her whole body was numb and she didn't know how she got out of Grandma Tang's ward. When I looked up again, I looked through the long glass on the door. (The next page is more exciting!)
Li saw Grandma Tang sleeping on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and her head tilted, completely losing her usual vitality.
"Just tell the time and don't make too much noise." The nurse helped open the door.
Tao You suddenly calmed down and walked slowly to Grandma Tang's bedside.
Grandma Tang's face was bloodless, her cheeks were sunken inward, the hand holding the bottle was dry and yellow, and the veins were prominent. There is a gauze cover on the head, and a thin tube is inserted into it. The newly dyed blue hair that was shown to Tao You some time ago has been completely shaved off; an oxygen tube is inserted into the mouth to breathe, which makes it very uncomfortable to look at. .
——If Grandma Tang is awake, she will definitely not cooperate well. She is most afraid of pain. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
The ECG monitor beside the bed was beeping regularly. Tao You lowered his head and scanned Grandma Tang from beginning to end, not daring to touch her rashly. Her heart was beating violently, and she wanted to say something to Grandma Tang, but when the words came to her lips, she still couldn't.
Song Yimian also stood silently aside, accompanying Tao You.
It wasn't until his eyes hurt that Tao You blinked suddenly. A nurse came in from outside the door to remind them that visiting time was up.
"Let's go." Song Yimian took Tao You's hand again and led her out. When passing by other wards, you can also see patients lying with their eyes closed, with various instruments more or less inserted into their bodies. Doctors and nurses also wearing isolation suits are working in an orderly manner.
For the first time, Tao You felt the fragility and impermanence of life, as well as the feeling of powerlessness when facing the extreme worry and anxiety caused by illness.
———————————————————————————
"Dad, you can't get in here. There are doctors and nurses watching inside. Why don't you go home?" Tao You asked after taking off his isolation suit and coming out.
Dad Tao leaned against the window sill, turned off his mobile phone, and wiped his face, "Your mother is worried. Grandma Tang needs help during the examination. If something happens, she can connect with the doctor faster. I'll wait for you tomorrow." Aunt Tang Shuang is here, we will go back depending on the situation once everything is ready."
"Okay, you're done reading. Do you want to go home now?"
Tao You shook his head and pointed to his schoolbag: "Go to the bookstore."
——————————————————————————
"How is Grandma Tang?" Hong Xiqi asked as soon as she sat down in the bookstore.
Tao You shook his head, "Still unconscious." His eyes were dull.
Hong Xiqi sighed, "Grandma Tang is usually in good health, she will get better." Although this sentence was not of much comfort, there was nothing else she could do now except wait.
Tao You suddenly took Hong Xiqi's hand, "Do you remember the last time we went to Grandma Tang's house together? Halfway through lunch, she suddenly fell asleep on the table..."
Hong Xiqi scratched her head and stammered: "Last time? I don't seem to remember much."
Tao You turned to Song Yimian and said, "Do you remember? There was a time when Grandma Tang fell asleep. She never did this. That time I wondered if she had fainted... I noticed something was wrong. If I take her to the hospital for examination, is it possible that Grandma Tang won't be like this anymore?!" She was a little excited and blamed herself.
Song Yimian handed Tao You a glass of water. Although she behaved exactly the same as her childhood personality, the habit of being cautious and taking responsibility for herself over the years still existed. He couldn't help feeling a little distressed and said, "Don't blame yourself, you are not wrong at all. At that time, we all thought that Grandma Tang was asleep, and she said so herself. Grandma Tang was in such good health, no one knew what happened. Is it an omen?"
"Yes, Xiaoyouyou, it was an accident that Grandma Tang fell ill this time." Hong Xiqi also comforted, "This disease is not uncommon among the elderly. The hospital must have complete measures to deal with it, and the doctor didn't say that Grandma Tang sent her It was very timely and the surgery was successful. Now it’s just a matter of recovery time.”
Gu Yi ran in from outside, holding a bag in his hand and pushing it to the middle of the table. "I bought some desserts. When you are in a bad mood, it will be much better to eat something sweet. Tao You, try it." He said, pushing a small portion of blueberry cake in front of Tao You, and a small cup of milk tea. , "It's not that I'm stingy, it's Song Yimian who said that drinking too much milk tea will make you feel uncomfortable, and you can't drink cold milk tea, as your stomach will feel uncomfortable, so I ordered the most ordinary one. (The next page will be more exciting!)
It's a small cup, no messy additions. "He explained quickly.
Then he handed Hong Xiqi's favorite strawberry cake and pudding milk tea to her, "Don't worry."
Tao You took the cup of room-temperature milk tea and felt a warm current in his heart. It was a feeling that he had not experienced much in school all these years.

The light in the evening was golden and distant, and a crescent moon had already hung on the horizon. The sun and the moon briefly met in the sky.
On the way home, Tao You suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Song Yimian solemnly, "Do you think my chemistry can be saved?"
Song Yimian rolled his eyes and thought for a moment before replying: "Don't you like chemistry?"
Tao You kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, stepped on the edge of the low platform, and walked unsteadily, "Then it's better to choose."
"Just tell me, if I study chemistry from now on, will my grades improve?"
Song Yimian put one hand in his pocket and rested his hand on Tao You's arm, always paying attention to her feet.
With his understanding of Tao You, he quickly guessed Tao You's current thoughts and said, "Are you planning to study medicine?".
