Chapter 32 Hug
"The operation fee isn’t expensive. Type B surgery costs 60 yuan. If only the tumor is removed, hospitalization and discharge plus drugs, it is about 200 yuan. But if the result isn’t good and it was malignant, it will be troublesome. The left kidney needs to be removed. Follow-up treatment depends on the situation. So it can’t be counted. You should prepare for five hundred yuan first."
When Wu Chun Hua heard this, she almost fainted, "No, no, no, we're not going to treat it. We're not going to treat it."
She had saved some money because of her daughter's help in the past two years. But it was only a hundred yuan. This wasn’t enough. If she spends her daughter's money, it can't be justified.
"Treat", Song Wei Ping stepped forward and said to the doctor, "We will get hospitalized today."
Xu Xiao Jiao also nodded beside him. Must definitely be treated.
The doctor nodded, "Okay, let's have an examination tomorrow morning. If there's no problem, the operation can be performed in the afternoon. Go to handle the hospital stay."
Song Wei Ping nodded. Xu Xiao Jiao helped Wu Chun Hua out of the clinic.
Song Wei Ping's voice was steady, "Mom, I brought money. It's enough. Don't worry and receive the medical treatment with a peace of mind. I'll take care of the rest."
Wu Chun Hua had already begun to wipe away tears, "It's not easy for you to take such a big risk to earn that little money. Good child, listen to Mom, we won’t treat it. If I am to die, that’s my fate. Mom can't empty your house."
Xu Xiao Jiao supported Wu Chun Hua and signaled Song Wei Ping to go through the admission procedures.
She stayed behind to help Wu Chun Hua walk slowly, "Mom, money is inanimate. How can money be more important than people? You can receive the treatment with a peace of mind. Song Wei Ping and I will take care of the rest."
Wu Chun Hua held her daughter's hand tightly, "But how can Mom spend your money? It's not easy for Wei Ping to make money from waking early in the morning until the black of the night. And he treats you so well. Don’t know what Wei Ping will think after this money is spent. Mom can't let you suffer."
Where was this going? Xu Xiao Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He didn't earn the money alone. I own more than half of the credit. Besides, once the money is spent, we won't earn it? There are ways to earn money."
Xu Xiao Jiao thought about it. Just talking about it was useless. She aimed for Wu Chun Hua's heart and said, "Think about Xiao Gang? He’s only in school. There is a long way to go after that. We don't have a father anymore. If you don't cooperate with the treatment and something happens, who will love us in the future? Don't want to watch Xiao Gang go to college, marry a wife, and have grandchildren?"
After she said this, Wu Chun Hua didn't say anything about whether she would die or not. She felt guilty toward her daughter, "But Mom can't drag you down."
Xu Xiao Jiao was not worried about the money issue. What she was worried about was the nature of the tumor. She could only hope that in this era, the incidence of malignant tumors was extremely low.
"Mom, don't worry, Song Wei Ping and I will definitely earn back the money spent this year."
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't know whether Wu Chun Hua believed it or not. Anyway, as long as she could agree to the operation, it would be fine.
The red light of the operating room was on. Xu Xiao Jiao was a little restless in the corridor. Song Wei Ping pulled her to sit on the seat, "You didn't eat lunch, are you hungry?"
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head. She and Song Wei Ping didn't eat. She didn't feel hungry at all. After transmigrating over for so long, it was the first time she felt anxious.
In the beginning, she didn't regard Wu Chun Hua as a family. Even if she called ‘Mom’ symbolically, it was out of sympathy and kindness. There was not much emotion involved. But after getting along for more than two years, she had integrated into this family. In her heart, Wu Chun Hua and Xu Xiao Gang were already close family members in this world.
She recalled it several times in the past two days, but she didn't remember the description of Wu Chun Hua's disease in the book. She only remembered that Xu Xiao Gang was deaf because of a fever and improper injection.
She analyzed it for a long time. Wu Chun Hua in the book probably endured it all the time. There were very few descriptions of Meilin Village in the later period. She couldn't deduce what the final result would be.
She only hoped that the results would be good.
Just as she shook her head and said she wasn't hungry, the lights of the operating room went out. Song Wei Ping walked over before her, "Doctor, how is my mom?"
The doctor took off his mask and smiled, "It went very smoothly and successfully. The tumor was removed very thoroughly and the trauma wasn’t major. The patient will come out after a while. The lump will be sent to the laboratory. The results will come out tomorrow. Please wait patiently."
Song Wei Ping looked at Xu Xiao Jiao, "Did you hear that? The doctor said it was a success. Mom will definitely be fine."
Although she knew that tomorrow's test results were the most important thing, Xu Xiao Jiao laughed out of relief when she heard what the doctor said, "That's great."
Wu Chun Hua opened her eyes and saw her daughter's smile, so she knew there was nothing serious. Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't wait to give her confidence, "Mom, the doctor said that the operation was a success. You will be discharged after a few days of rest. Don't worry. Is there any discomfort?"
Wu Chun Hua only felt a little tired. Because the anesthesia wasn’t gone yet, she couldn't even feel the pain from the surgical incision, "Mom feels fine. All good."
Song Wei Ping saw that although Wu Chun Hua's face was pale, she was in good spirits. He was relieved and looked at Xu Xiao Jiao, "Mom woke up, I'll go tell the doctor. The doctor said she can drink millet soup. I'll buy it. You haven't eaten lunch, what do you want to eat?"
Wu Chun Hua came out smoothly, so Xu Xiao Jiao had the mind to think about other things. She rubbed her stomach, "I'm hungry. I want to eat meat."
Song Wei Ping nodded. He said warmly to Wu Chun Hua, "Mom, let Xiao Jiao accompany you. I'll go buy food."
Wu Chun Hua watched Song Wei Ping walk out of the ward. She smiled and held Xu Xiao Jiao's hand, "Wei Ping, he’s so considerate. You are married well. The ward booked is a single room. How much does it cost?"
At this moment, Xu Xiao Jiao also felt that it was lucky that Song Wei Ping was by her side. If it wasn't for his company, she would have been even more depressed.
"It didn't cost much. This way you can recover from your injury with peace of mind. This time, don't worry. Before the surgery, you kept nagging about money. Song Wei Ping didn't care about money." Xu Xiao Jiao’s heart was relieved.
Wu Chun Hua smiled, "A penny can make it difficult for a hero. He didn't care about money because he cares more about you. You should know that too."
Xu Xiao Jiao could only nod her head.
She never cared about money, but her Mom was right. A penny can make it difficult for a hero. At night, Wu Chun Hua was already asleep. Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping discussed money, "How much money do we have left?"
From yesterday to today, Xu Xiao Jiao didn't have a good rest. Seeing that she was tired, Song Wei Ping gently smoothed her hair, "I paid 200 yuan for hospitalization. I have more than 200 yuan left."
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded and bit her lips, "If the test results are good tomorrow, then the money will be enough, but if the results aren’t good..."
As she spoke, her voice was a little trembling. In future generations, malignant tumors cannot be treated, let alone now. She was a little scared.
Distress flashed across Song Wei Ping's eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, "It's okay. I asked the doctor. We found out early. Even if the result isn’t good, remove the left kidney, rest well, and Mom will recover."
"You don't have to worry about the money. There’s me. You talk to Mom more and make her at ease."
"Also, you got to eat properly."
Song Wei Ping voiced out whatever he thought and spoke in a soft voice, with unprecedented patience.
Before falling asleep, Xu Xiao Jiao said in a soft voice, "Song Wei Ping, fortunately there’s you."
When she fell asleep, Song Wei Ping watched her for a long time before getting up to take care of Wu Chun Hua.
Early the next morning, Xu Xiao Jiao had finished eating the meal that Song Wei Ping brought when she heard the nurse shouting outside, "Wu Chun Hua's family, the examination result is out. Go to the window and get it yourself."
Xu Xiao Jiao stood up at once.
Wu Chun Hua smiled at her, "Go."
Xu Xiao Jiao pursed her lips and responded with a hum. As soon as she and Song Wei Ping went out, tears fell.
"Song Wei Ping, I'm afraid." She tightly clenched Song Wei Ping's fingers, putting almost all her strength on them.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." Ever since she cried from her sprained ankle, Song Wei Ping never let her cry again. Seeing her tears fall, Song Wei Ping felt a pain in his heart and patted her shoulder lightly.
Xu Xiao Jiao sniffed, "Then, then you go and get the result. I, I won't read it."
Song Wei Ping led her toward the window, "Okay."
Xu Xiao Jiao felt her heart jumping out of chest. She tightly covered her ears and leaned against the window, watching Song Wei Ping take the test sheet and then he lowered his eyes to look at the results.
Those few seconds seemed to have passed for a few years. She could hardly feel her breathing and closed her eyes tightly.
No, it must not be a bad result.
Suddenly, Song Wei Ping reached out and took her hands.
Xu Xiao Jiao opened her eyes instantly and saw Song Wei Ping's smile, "Benign! It's benign."
"Ahhhh, Song Wei Ping, sniff sniff sniff, you scared me to death!"
Xu Xiao Jiao hugged Song Wei Ping. Her whole person jumped onto him, hugged his neck tightly, buried herself on his shoulder, and burst into tears.
Song Wei Ping was taken aback for a moment. The test sheet in his hand fell to the ground. Then he reached out and hugged her, as if hugging the whole world.
"Be good, don't cry."
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "Song Wei Ping, I can't help it. Song Wei Ping, I was scared to death. What should I do if the result was bad? My mom is so young. Xiao Gang is so young, sniff sniff sniff."
Song Wei Ping hugged her toward the wall. He sighed, raised his hand, and stroked her head, "It's okay, it's okay."
Xu Xiao Jiao looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, "Really benign? You didn't lie to me?"
Song Wei Ping smiled, "I didn’t. It's benign. You can rest assured now?"
Only then did Xu Xiao Jiao burst into tears and laughed, "That's great. That's great."
She realized later that she seemed a little too excited, "Aren’t I heavy? Let me down."
Song Wei Ping supported her and shook his head, "Hold a while longer."
"No, I want to come down." She pushed Song Wei Ping away and touched the ground. She picked up the examination result on the ground. Only then, she dared to read it carefully.
"Benign. I'll go tell Mom the good news."
Song Wei Ping watched her run away with light steps. He looked at his hands. Leaned against the wall, his head raised and his eyes closed. He waited for a moment, leaving time for Wu Chun Hua mom and daughter to talk. After sighing, he walked leisurely toward the ward .
"Don't worry this time. We'll be able to go home after a few more days." Xu Xiao Jiao's cheerful voice came from the room.
Wu Chun Hua showed a sincere smile this time, "Alright, alright. That's good. It's been two days since I came out. I don't know what's going on at home. Let Wei Ping go back and have a look."
"En en en, I’m worried about Grandmother and Xiao Gang. Fortunately, I entrusted the auntie next door to look after them before I came here."
As soon as Song Wei Ping entered the door, Xu Xiao Jiao was quite eager, "Song Wei Ping, my mom is fine. Go home and have a look today. Come back tomorrow. I'll stay with my mom today."
Although Wu Chun Hua couldn't get up, she could move easily on the hospital bed. Xu Xiao Jiao could take care of her.
Song Wei Ping didn't refute. He nodded in agreement, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it."
Now that Wu Chun Hua was fine, Xu Xiao Jiao had the intention to eat well, "En, then you can make me some fried tenderloin. I want to eat it. I want to eat fried lotus root again."
Wu Chun Hua smiled and poked Xu Xiao Jiao's forehead, "Wei Ping is going home to see your Grandmother and Xiao Gang. And you still want this and that. Wei Ping, don't make it for her. We’ll go home and eat when I leave the hospital."
Song Wei Ping shook his head, "It’s no trouble. I'll go back after the doctor's rounds."
After two days out, he was also worried about home.
After Song Wei Ping left, Wu Chun Hua and Xu Xiao Jiao chatted, "Mom had thought it through after experiencing this. I realized that nothing is as good as my health. In the future, you should also persuade Wei Ping not to work so hard. Take a break."
Xu Xiao Jiao wanted to say, what you see is only so much? Song Wei Ping not only used his physical strength to work in the field during the day, but also used his brain power to study every day. She had no doubt that if Song Wei Ping participated in this year’s college entrance examination, he must be able to enter the college.
Song Wei Ping seemed to never feel tired.
But she went along with Wu Chun Hua, "En, I got it. Mom, don't worry. He and I are both in good health. Don't think about anything now. Take a good rest and don't worry about anything else."
Xu Xiao Jiao said some words to reassure Wu Chun Hua, while her mind was thinking about making money.
After Wu Chun Hua's operation and she would be fine after she recovers, Xu Xiao Jiao didn't want her to be so tired anymore. So she had to use her brain to think of a way to make money.
It wasn’t time to start a business yet. Although stewed meat could make money, it was a small business. The money came in slowly and wasn’t very stable. It would be great if there were other ways to make money.
In the afternoon, Wu Chun Hua fell asleep after eating. Although she was recovering, she was a little weak. Xu Xiao Jiao tucked in her quilt. As she was about to ponder while eating, the door of the ward opened.
