Sesame Green Bean Garlic

A rectangular beech cutting board is placed on the wooden table.Topped with a turquoise-pink salad with a dark brown sauce; two whole-wheat begels stuffed with roast beef, tiger prawns and avocado; yogurt topped with oatmeal cereal; In pudding-like protein.

The sun is fine.

Qiu Xinzhi rested his elbows and looked at the breakfast in front of him, but he had no appetite at all.He was wearing a white shirt with long sleeves and a Chinese collar, and light blue loose jeans. Half of his body was hidden in the shadow of the parasol, and the other half was bathed in the sun. In Chen Yihang's eyes, every minute, every inch...

It was rare for Chen Yihang to see him dressed so casually. The editor-in-chief didn't have normal weekends, and he didn't see anyone when he was on vacation. It was the first time for the two of them to sit and have breakfast together.

Chen Yihang had nothing to say: "The brunch in this store has to be lined up on weekends. It looks very ordinary."

Qiu Xinzhi stirred the yogurt, and said indifferently: "As long as the ingredients are good, this kind of food can be made well." That being said, he couldn't afford to eat whole wheat bread.He has a deep aversion to healthy eating. Vinaigrette, avocado, quinoa, and chicken breast are the top foods he hates. He often says that he would rather eat an energy bar for this.

Reluctantly picked up the poached egg in a white porcelain bowl, stirred it with a small spoon, and gulped it down his throat like drinking plain water.The eggs are very fresh, smooth and rich, but there is almost no seasoning, and a little fishy taste remains in the mouth.He put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said to Chen Yihang: "Thank you for your breakfast, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Chen Yihang was surprised: "Leaving so quickly! You are on vacation today, what's the matter?"

Qiu Xinzhi looked at him, smiled, and didn't answer.Only then did Chen Yihang realize that he had crossed the line.But he is still not reconciled. The two have known each other for more than a year, and they have eaten and drank countless times, but they just can't move forward. He really doesn't understand the reason—maybe it's because of these unspeakable holidays?

"Are you dating a friend?" He decided to ask.

Qiu Xinzhi picked up the car keys on the table, and tried to say in a sincere tone: "No. It's a rare holiday, so I just want to stay by myself, or go to the bookstore. Are you going?"

Knowing that he was not telling the truth, Chen Yihang tactfully refused.

"See you!" Qiu Xinzhi threw the last sentence to Chen Yihang like a cigarette butt, and left without expecting him to respond.

Stuck in traffic, Qiu Xinzhi looked at his poor stomach.He has lost interest in food and this has been going on for a week.Ever since Huo Zian and You Liangchen left, every once in a while he would suddenly not want to eat. No matter how good the ingredients, no matter how excellent the cooking, no matter how famous the chef was, he couldn't whet his appetite.But he doesn't have anorexia, and he still gets hungry. Every time this happens, he is very distressed, wishing he could become a tree by the roadside.This time the symptoms seemed to last longer.

He let out a long breath, tore open a lollipop and put it in his mouth to relieve his hunger.

Qiu Xinzhi didn't lie to Chen Yihang, he really went to the bookstore, picked a few books, and then drove outside the Fifth Ring Road.When he was on vacation, it was an ordinary working day, and the direction out of the city was very smooth.Half an hour later, he stopped in front of a villa surrounded by greenery in the suburbs.

This large piece of farmland used to be rented out by farmers to build houses for urban residents. The "farm" of more than 20 mu has been occupied by various independent villas one after another.The building that Qiu Xinzhi visited is different. It looks like a high wall on the outside, but inside it is a large area of ​​lawn, flower beds and artificial lakes.In front of the light green two-storey building, the small sign of "Youzhang Nursing Home" stands unremarkably but firmly beside the steps like a guidepost from 100 years ago.

Every holiday, Qiu Xinzhi would come to the nursing home and spend most of the day.His mother lay here for seven years.

The ward was on the second floor. He climbed up the familiar stairs, and then turned into the clean and cold corridor.He knew every doctor and nurse here, and greeted every doctor and nurse all the way. When he was about to reach his mother's independent ward, the nurse on duty stopped him.

Qiu Xinzhi's heart trembled, and it would not be good for ordinary nurses or doctors to talk to him specially.The nurse smiled, "Teacher Qiu, we have a new attending doctor here, do you want to talk to him?"

Qiu Xinzhi immediately relaxed, and said perfunctorily, "Well, I'll be there in a while." He wasn't very interested in the attending doctor.The previous attending doctor was a short, fat man, amiable, who patrolled the room with a string of prayer beads every day, chanting while walking, as if he was here for salvation.This is a vegetative sanatorium, with advanced monitoring equipment for signs, but no complete surgical treatment methods. If a patient has unusual symptoms, the attending doctor usually cannot solve it, and they will be sent directly to a tertiary hospital.In his opinion, the doctors here are the "gatekeepers", and making sure that people don't die in the nursing home is considered a complete merit.

Entering the ward, the nurse was rolling his mother out of the bed. Seeing Qiu Xinzhi, he said in a hasty tone, "The patient has a high fever. I just called the doctor."

When Qiu Xinzhi heard this, his heart sank.Recently, his mother had frequent fevers, and the doctor once told him that this was not a good sign.

In less than a minute, a doctor and two nurses walked in.The doctor took a look at Qiu Xinzhi, and the nurse had good eyesight and introduced him, this is the patient's son.The doctor nodded almost invisibly, then ignored Qiu Xinzhi, turned around to check the monitor, and asked the nurse to take the temperature and prepare antipyretics.

Qiu Xinzhi stood aside numbly.He has seen this scene many times, and he can't mobilize any emotions.He watched the doctor's big hand resting on his mother's withered and slack neck, his fingers were long and clean, and his skin was smooth.He suddenly realized that this was the new doctor.Looking up the palm, his eyes climbed all the way to the side of the doctor's face.Very young, maybe a few years younger than himself.

Qiu Xinzhi shook his head inwardly, the nursing home was getting worse and worse, a monk left and a student came?

The ward was not big, and it was a hindrance for him to stand inside, so he sat on a bench in the corridor outside and stared blankly for a while.Later, I felt that the time was really hard, so I picked up the book I just bought and read it casually.Wait until evening.

During this period, doctors and nurses came in and out. When he wiped his mother's body for physical cooling, he saw the doctor come to check on the condition several times, but the doctor was busy with himself and had no desire to communicate.Qiu Xinzhi disliked him for being young and a newcomer, and he was unwilling to talk to him, so he only asked nurses he knew well.The nurse comforted him and said that the test results haven't come out yet, so he should be fine.

After dark, my mother had a high fever repeatedly, which never stabilized.Qiu Xinzhi became anxious, and when the doctor walked into the ward again, Qiu Xinzhi stopped him.

"What's wrong with my mother's illness? If it doesn't work, transfer to another hospital!"

The doctor looked at him, and slowly said: "The patient's blood pressure is normal at present, and the next step is to wait for the blood test to come out."

"One blood routine, can't come out in five hours?" He looked at his watch, extremely anxious.The doctor's voice was deep and cold. When he spoke, he felt a little mature, but there was an indescribable indifference.Qiu Xinzhi was upset. He didn't believe that this person was a qualified doctor from the very beginning.

"The results won't come out in five hours." The doctor repeated his words slowly.

Qiu Xinzhi became angry, "My mother suffered from pneumonia twice, and she was sent to a big hospital immediately. Your equipment is not good, and you are still here slowly. Can you afford to delay the illness?"

"The body temperature has dropped, so there is no need to transfer to another hospital. Your mother is very weak. If she goes to another hospital, she will have to be re-examined. The condition may worsen. I am a doctor, and of course I can take care of the patient's body."

Qiu Xinzhi was at a loss for words.It was the first time he had heard a doctor say "can afford it", and other doctors wished to put all responsibilities away.He regained his impression of this doctor, and felt that what the doctor said was not unreasonable. Large hospitals basically do not recognize the examinations done by other hospitals, and they will definitely ask for re-examination, and then there will be a long "waiting for the results"...

He was discouraged: "How long will it take?"

The doctor looked at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did you bring all the books in the ward?"

Qiu Xinzhi was impatient: "Who else? Hey, what does this have to do with my mother's illness?" His mother loved to read novels. After she fell into a coma, Qiu Xinzhi would take a book with her every vacation and read to her by the bedside; the seven-year long Over time, over time, her ward has become a small library.

The doctor said: "I looked at the medical records, and she was in a coma for 11 years and three months, which is rare in cases of vegetative state. Since I have been waiting for so long, it is not too late."

Qiu Xinzhi wanted to hit him on the head with a book.I went all the way around just to say such nonsense!But there was a strange persuasiveness in the doctor's flat tone. Qiu Xinzhi thought, this person's tone is so annoying, but he can still make a living in this kind of private hospital where the service is paramount. Could it be that there are two tricks?

He bent over and sat down, picked up the novel on the stool, and opened the book after a while.He forgot how many pages he had read, and was in a daze staring at the text everywhere.

Maybe it's not because the young doctor is capable or not, but because he has no one else to rely on...not just now, not just in the current situation.

He has been like this for so many years.

In the middle of the night, he was shaken awake.He jumped up from the bench, his mind was confused and his heart was beating like a drum.The nurse said to him: "The patient has convulsions..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Xinzhi ran into the ward, and saw his mother's face was flushed and sweaty, but luckily she stopped smoking. "Where's the doctor?" Qiu Xinzhi's lips trembled, and he could only speak in a raised voice, which sounded like a shout.

A hand rests on his shoulder.Qiu Xinzhi trembled all over, and turned his head to meet the doctor's face.The doctor said: "You go out."

Qiu Xinzhi wanted to beat him, but he still tried to calm himself down: "She convulsed...I asked to be sent to a big hospital."

"We'll talk about this later, you go out now."

Qiu Xinzhi couldn't help but angrily said: "I am a family member, and I have the right to decide what kind of treatment the patient receives."

"You have the right to decide, but now I am here to treat patients. You are emotionally unstable, don't hinder our work here."

Qiu Xinzhi blushed, "I don't believe you, arrange a hospital transfer now!"

The doctor frowned, losing patience.He leaned close to Qiu Xinzhi's face, and whispered in a whisper: "I need to be transferred, we can go through the formalities in a while, the most important thing now is that she survives—or, do you hope the result is the opposite? Are you really so Think, don’t be embarrassed, I’ve seen many people like this, it’s very simple, just pull out a few pipes. You can do it for me if you want, but not now. Now I want to save people, you get out !"

Qiu Xinzhi was shocked.He was so angry that he couldn't speak.He took a few deep breaths, turned and walked out the door.

The bastard doctor was right, mother's fragile life was in his hands.How stupid am I to choose to fight against him at this time?

The author has something to say:

That's right, Chen Yihang is not a CP.I have conceived a lot of plots, but I still can't find a sense of CP. I think, Lao Qiu just can't find someone who follows him and makes his life too easy. 23333

Am I unconsciously abusing Lao Qiu again (in reflection)
