Reborn in the 60s and adopted
Chapter 134 Leaving the Operating Room
After a long and anxious wait, about two hours later, Tang Mei and others outside the operating room finally saw that the red light that had been on went out.
They immediately stood up from the wooden benches on which they had been sitting until they were a little numb, walked quickly to the door, and waited expectantly, hoping that the two people inside would come out safely as soon as possible.
Not long after, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and the first person who appeared in front of everyone was the old doctor in a white coat.
He said to everyone with a serious face: "We have already washed the patient's stomach. According to the situation, the man may have eaten more food.
Female comrades eat less. Fortunately, you have some basic common sense and induced the toxins to vomit out in time. Without this key action, even if you sent them to the hospital in time, I am afraid it would be too late to save them. However, judging from the current situation,
If nothing unexpected happens, he is expected to wake up tonight or tomorrow morning. You go and settle the fees first, and then we will arrange a ward for him. Then we will only need someone to stay to watch over him at night."
After hearing what the doctor said, Tang Mei and everyone else felt a little scared.
"Well, okay, thank you doctor, thank you doctor, thank you so much!" Gao Xiang took a deep breath, calmed himself, then walked quickly forward and shook the old doctor's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.
The old doctor gently broke away from Gao Xiang's hand, and his slightly tired face revealed a gentle but firm expression: "You're welcome, this is just my job. Well, the patient will be out soon, and I have other work to do. Excuse me first. If you have any questions, you can come to my office at any time."
"Okay, thank you again, doctor, please take care." Gao Xiang nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Less than a minute after the old doctor turned and left, a nurse came out slowly, pushing two operating tables, followed closely by a young doctor.
Seeing this, everyone rushed forward and carefully took the bed from the nurse.
"Please follow me closely and push the bed to the ward together." The young doctor gave the order concisely and clearly.
Several adults nodded in agreement, and Tang Mei followed silently behind the team. She quickly glanced at her parents on the bed, and saw that their faces were extremely pale, but with a slight blush compared to before. It seemed that the toxin had been successfully removed, and the situation was gradually improving. Thinking of this, Tang Mei finally felt relieved.
The ward was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant, and the white walls looked a little cold and heartless. The doctor walked quickly to the bed, carefully examined the conditions of the two patients, and then hurriedly left the room.
Gao Xiang watched the doctor leave, and then his eyes fell on the two people who had taken Tang San to the hospital with him. He frowned, reached into his trouser pocket, pulled out a handful of dimes and said, "Two brothers, do you have any money on you? We have to gather it together quickly to pay for the surgery first!"
After hearing this, the two looked very unhappy. They looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. It turned out that they were typical henpecked husbands, and all the money in the house was managed by their wives. This time, the incident happened suddenly, and they rushed here in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to take the money.
At this moment, Tang Mei, who had been silent all along, noticed the plight of her two uncles. To be honest, at this moment, her heart was filled with deep gratitude to the villagers. If it weren't for the villagers' help, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Tang Mei reached into her pocket without hesitation and fumbled out a dozen crumpled banknotes that she had prepared long ago - this was her pocket money and the red envelopes she received during the Chinese New Year. She counted carefully and then handed all the money to Gao Xiang.
"Brother Gao, the two uncles must have left in a hurry and didn't bring any money. I have fifty yuan here, which should be enough. If it's not enough, please pay for it first and I'll give it to you on your way back."
Gao Xiang took the stack of bills, counted them and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, you are really considerate! You can remember to take so much money with you when you leave. Well, I will go to the cashier's office and pay the fee. I will keep watch tonight, and the two brothers have a large family to take care of. Please take Meimei back first."
"Brother Gao, I don't plan to leave. I hope the two uncles can do me a favor and tell grandma after we get home so that she doesn't worry too much. At the same time, please don't tell her that my parents are not out of danger yet, lest she can't bear the blow. I want to stay here to protect them. Also, tell her not to eat the meals at home. If possible, please ask Uncle Yongzi to bring my grandma to your house for dinner." Tang Mei quickly interrupted, saying that she wanted to stay in the hospital to accompany her parents.
After hearing what Tang Mei said, Tang Yong patted his chest without hesitation and responded confidently: "Don't worry, Meimei! I will take care of this matter. I will definitely go home and tell you and invite your grandma to have dinner at my house."
After the two left, Gao Xiang also turned around and walked out of the ward to pay the relevant fees. At this moment, Tang Mei was the only one left in the ward, standing quietly between the beds of Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang.
"Dad, Mom, wake up... Please, don't leave me alone!" Tang Mei could no longer remain strong and calm. Tears flowed from her eyes like a flood, and her voice was choked and trembling.
However, the parents on the hospital bed showed no response. They closed their eyes as if they were asleep, completely unable to respond to their daughter's painful calls.
Time passed by, and the whole ward was filled with suffocating silence. Tang Mei sat blankly beside the bed, her eyes empty and helpless.
After a while, Gao Xiang walked into the ward carrying a lunch box. Seeing Tang Mei's distraught look, he felt distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"Meimei, you must not have eaten lunch. Come and eat something." Gao Xiang gently placed the lunch box on the table, and then carefully pushed it in front of Tang Mei.
Tang Mei slowly raised her head and looked at Gao Xiang blankly. She shook her head and whispered, "Brother Gao, I really can't eat..."
Gao Xiang frowned and looked at Tang Mei's increasingly thin face with worry. He was very anxious. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Be good and eat something. Otherwise, when your parents wake up and see you so hungry and weak, they might blame me for not taking good care of you."
Tang Mei was slightly startled after hearing Gao Xiang's words. Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, she was already vulnerable at the moment, and any glimmer of hope was a life-saving straw for her. So, she silently reached out her hand and took the bowl of food.
Although she had no appetite, Tang Mei still tried to force herself to swallow the food mouthful by mouthful. Every chew was like a struggle against the grief in her heart. Gao Xiang stood quietly by, watching Tang Mei's difficult eating, his heart full of sorrow.
When Tang Mei finally finished her last bite of rice, Gao Xiang immediately stepped forward to take the rice bowl. He noticed that Tang Mei's eyes were still gleaming with tears, but at least now she was willing to eat, which made him feel a little relieved.
"Don't worry about me too much. I just asked the doctor and he will wake up today. Their bodies will recover if they rest well."
"Yeah, thank you, Brother Gao! Today is all thanks to you guys." Tang Mei said with gratitude.
Gao Xiang looked at the child in front of him who was only a few years old and was still so well-behaved and sensible after encountering such a serious incident. He couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity in his heart.
He comforted her softly, "Let's just make do with this tonight. You can sleep next to mom, and I'll sleep on a stool outside the ward. If you need any help or feel unwell, you can always call me."
Tang Mei knew very well that the conditions in the hospital at that moment were limited, far from being as perfect as they would be later. There was not even a bed companion, so Brother Gao could only spend the night on a wooden bench outside.
She sighed sincerely, "I'm so sorry to bother you, Brother Gao."
Gao Xiang smiled when he heard that, ruffled Tang Mei's hair, and said, "Ah, little girl, why do you speak so calmly? You need to be more energetic! Don't worry, I'm a man, this little thing is nothing. Okay, I'll go out first, you go to sleep obediently."
After he finished speaking, Gao Xiang turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Tang Mei slowly took off her clothes and lay down next to Aunt Tang San. She hugged her mother's arm tightly, as if it was her last straw. When there was no one else around, tears burst out like a dam, soaking her cheeks in an instant.
After a long while, Tang Mei finally felt her emotions calm down a little. She silently recalled what happened throughout the day, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Those people from the second branch of the Tang family were so cold and heartless! They were obviously her relatives, but after seeing her brothers and sisters-in-law being poisoned, they chose to stand by and watch them die without helping. Such behavior is really chilling.
Tang Mei thought: "These cold-blooded people, don't even think about getting any help from me in the future!" She secretly vowed to draw a clear line with the second branch of the Tang family from now on, and no longer have any illusions about them. After all, some injuries, once caused, are difficult to heal; and some people, once you see their true colors, you can no longer trust them.
