Raising a Family [Rebirth]

The corridor had long been quiet. Wen Rui looked at Jiang Yueting's tired face and said, "Let's sleep on my shoulder for a while."

Jiang Yueting shook his head and refused: "I'm not sleepy."

The two were talking when the door of the operating room opened suddenly, and doctors and nurses came out.

Wen Rui and Jiang Yueting stood up immediately when they heard the movement, their hearts were in their throats.

The doctor said: "The patient suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage. He was sent in time and was temporarily out of danger. However, there will be sequelae. The patient is still in a coma and needs to be hospitalized for observation and treatment."

Wen Rui felt relieved when he heard these words. He let out a light breath, and his cold body gradually stopped trembling. It's fine, it's fine.

He asked, "May I ask what the sequelae you mentioned?"

"Different degrees of hemiplegia and aphasia can only be understood when the patient wakes up."

"Will it be paralyzed?" Wen Rui murmured, and the nurse pushed the bed out. He looked at the old man lying on the bed with a complicated expression, his eyes were sad and happy.

For the elderly, hemiplegia may be more painful than death.

Wen Rui called the old man's family again and told him that the old man's condition had stabilized and he was in a coma.

Wen Rui said to Jiang Yueting: "Go back, go back and sleep, don't keep it." His voice was hoarse.

Jiang Yueting refused to leave.

Wen Rui's attitude is firm: "Go back and rest! Be obedient."

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Jiang Yueting frowned and asked, "Then what should you do?"

"When your grandpa's family comes during the day, I can go home and rest soon. Don't worry. It's almost six o'clock. I'll call your class teacher to ask for leave. You should have a good rest in the morning."

Jiang Yueting was afraid that his brother would have to worry about him if he stayed here, so he had to leave, but he couldn't rest at all when he got home, and he couldn't sleep when he thought of his brother, so he had to pour a glass of water and stand on the balcony in a daze.

Wen Rui stayed in the ward to accompany him, paying attention to the equipment according to the instructions given by the nurse. His nerves were tense and he dared not relax a bit.

After staring at it for an unknown amount of time, his body became stiff from sitting, so he had no choice but to stand up and stretch his muscles.

Jiang Yueting looked at the time, it was only eight o'clock, he took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

At 10:30, he set off from home, took some time to go to the hospital, and brought food for Wen Rui.

The ward was very quiet, some old people were sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, some old people were lying on the bed and chatting casually with their wife who took care of her, their voices were very soft.

Wen Rui was still guarding the hospital bed. He looked very haggard, his face was pale, his eyes were black and bloodshot, and Jiang Yueting frowned distressedly, "Let me guard, you go to sleep meeting."

Wen Rui looked at him and asked, "Did you sleep well? I asked you for a day off."

"You bought some porridge with preserved egg and lean meat on the way." Jiang Yueting handed the food to him, "Go to bed after eating, I'll watch over it."

Wen Rui shook his head: "It's okay." He wasn't hungry, but he was physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't understand why the old man hadn't woken up yet.

Jiang Yueting forced him to drink porridge, and then told him to go home and sleep.

"I'm not going home, just sleep here for a while." Wen Rui didn't dare to leave.

Jiang Yueting didn't say any more, he sat by the hospital bed, "Sleep on my lap for a while." He was afraid of meeting the old man and could only sit at the end of the bed, Wen Rui didn't have time to sleep, otherwise he would meet the old man for an infusion Hands can only lie on his lap.

Wen Rui and Jiang Yueting explained the precautions before he dared to go to sleep. He rested on Jiang Yueting's lap with his hands under his pillow.

"Call me in half an hour."

Jiang Yueting was a little dazed looking at his figure lying on his stomach. He seemed to have returned to a few years ago, when Wen Rui stayed by the hospital bed to accompany him, and he didn't leave at night, so he could only rest on his stomach beside the hospital bed.

He slept a lot during the day, so he wasn't sleepy at night. He could only stare at Wen Rui's hair for most of the night, and he didn't feel bored at all. He forgot what he was thinking at the time, maybe... what should he do? Take this man for yourself.

He couldn't help but reached out and stroked Wen Rui's hair: "Well, go to sleep, I'll take a good look at it."

Wen Rui closed his eyes and fell asleep, he was so tired.

Jiang Yueting looked away from him and looked at the old man.

The two took turns to observe the old man's condition, but the other party did not wake up for a long time.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the old man's daughter and son-in-law came, and the two drove for more than ten hours, full of dust.

The woman was about 30 years old, and her appearance was similar to that of an old man. She came in a hurry and had no time to dress up. Her hair was tied behind her head casually.

She walked to the bed and held the old man's hand gratefully, "It's okay."

Wen Rui: "The doctor said that grandpa may have sequelae, hemiplegia, and aphasia."

The woman's husband took the words: "It's better to have sequelae than to lose your life."

The woman didn't answer, she looked at the old man with red eyes, she couldn't accept her father becoming like that.

She said: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do. Did you help my dad with the hospitalization procedures? How much did you pay? I'll ask Lao Xiao to transfer the money to you."

"Not in a hurry."

Wen Rui saw them coming before leaving in peace. He went home, took a shower and fell asleep.Jiang Yueting hadn't slept and rested all this time, seeing that his brother had rested, he went to bed with him.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Wen Rui woke up from hunger, and when he woke up, he saw Jiang Yueting looking at him with his eyes open.

"Hungry." His voice was rough, and he couldn't help clearing his throat.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." Jiang Yueting got out of bed and brought him a glass of hot water, "Are you still sleepy? Cook noodles for you?"

Wen Rui took a sip of water and asked, "Can you do it? I'll do it myself."

Jiang Yueting saw that he had regained his energy, so he didn't stop him. He went to the refrigerator to check, and found that there were no noodles.

"No more noodles."

Wen Rui was brushing his teeth. Hearing what he said, he could only ask vaguely, "What's there?"

"I don't have anything left, I'll go down and buy it." The convenience store in the neighborhood should still be open.

"No, wait for me, let's go out to eat."

Jiang Yueting glanced at the wall clock, it was almost twelve o'clock, and only the barbecue stalls were open nearby.

"Do you want to eat barbecue?"

Wen Rui twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yeah." He actually wanted to drink.

After crossing the bridge, the night in Beicheng is another scene, very lively, rows of food stalls are still full of customers, and many older brothers are shirtless and grilling skewers.

Wen Rui picked a food stall at random, and ordered fifty skewers of kebabs, six chicken wings, and four bottles of beer.

"Alcohol?" Jiang Yueting looked at him with a frown. His brother didn't drink at all except during Chinese New Year and holidays.

Wen Rui saw his doubts, "I suddenly want to drink."

It took a long time for the skewers to come up. Wen Rui could only drink beer first, and he blew half of the bottle directly.

Jiang Yueting frowned, his brother can't hold alcohol well, he would definitely get drunk if he drank like this.He grabbed Wen Rui's arm, "What are you doing?" He felt that his brother's mood was very wrong.

Wen Rui choked on drinking too much, he wiped the drink from his mouth, said with a wry smile, "It's not good."

Jiang Yueting took the wine bottle in his hand, "Don't drink it if it doesn't taste good. What's wrong with you?"

Wen Rui didn't go to get the wine anymore, he stared blankly into the distance, and murmured: "I'm thinking about your grandpa."

Jiang Yueting thought that he was worried that Zhang Huaibin would not be able to wake up, and comforted him: "Grandpa is fine, the doctor said he will wake up later."

"But there will be repercussions."

Hemiplegia, aphasia... These two words hovered in his mind like a spell.

For them, it is a good thing that the old man is still alive, but what would the old man think?

He is such a proud person, he has lived and been busy for most of his life, and he is unwilling to let his children support him in his old age, but in the future he can only lie in bed and rely on others to take care of him, and he can only rely on others for food and drink.

Jiang Yueting was silent, he knew what Wen Rui was thinking.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "It's always good to be alive."

Once a person has someone he misses and thinks about, he is reluctant to leave this world, just like him, before Wen Rui, living was a dispensable thing for him, he was never afraid of death, but Now he is very scared, he still wants to live well and be with this person well, and he also hopes that he will be healthy and stay with him for the rest of his life.

The old man would think the same way, he still has his family, and they, he is still reluctant to leave.

Wen Rui showed a faint smile, and he said, "Probably."

After all, he didn't drink all the wine, Jiang Yueting said that it was not suitable for him to drown his worries with wine.

After the two finished eating the skewers, they walked back slowly. They watched the river view from the bridge.

Jiang Yueting suddenly said, "Find a cook."

Wen Rui: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

He was afraid, he was afraid that Wen Rui worked too hard when he was young, and he would be sick like an old man in his later years. He didn't mind taking care of his brother, but he hoped that he could live his life without illness and pain.

He didn't tell the truth, just said: "Stay with me more."

It was only then that Wen Rui realized that he was getting busier and busier, and he really didn't take Jiang Yueting around to play like before.

There are not a few years like this. In the future, Jiang Yueting will go to college, and the time they spend together will become less and less.

The night wind blew over, Wen Rui took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll hire the cook then."

Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Yueting turned to look at him with soft eyes.

-

Zhang Huaibin was in a coma for three days before waking up. His legs and arms were numb, and only a few fingers could move slightly.

When Wen Rui heard the news, the sadness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Seeing him waking up, the old man's family surrounded the bed happily, and Wen Rui stood outside and looked at the old man.

Zhang Huaibin couldn't speak, his eyes were a little dull, and it took him a long time to recover his clarity. He rolled his eyes, scanned the surrounding faces one by one, and finally settled his gaze on Wen Rui's face.

The two looked at each other, and the old man's eyes became more and more painful, even stained with grievance, and a teardrop came out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing him crying, the family members thought he was not feeling well, and lowered their heads to ask what was wrong with him. Some people ran out to find a doctor.

Wen Rui turned his face away, unable to bear to look at him again.
