Chapter 348 Discharge
After visiting Zhao Yan, Zhao Qishui went back to Danhe.
He will come a week earlier next month, accompany He Shu for a few days, visit Zhao Yan, and then return to Danhe.
Although this meeting with Zhao Yan did not bring them closer, Zhao Qishui did not lose confidence after being sad.
What could be more difficult than those years of searching for my son?
After his godfather passed away, He Shu continued to recover slowly in the hospital.
With the company of his aunt, uncle or Xia Miao, he can now walk from one end of the corridor to the other by himself.
His physical recovery was getting better and better. Except for the few hours he spent in bed every day getting injections, He Shu spent the rest of his time walking around the hospital.
The military hospital does not accept ordinary patients and only serves the military region.
Here, He Shu often sees some soldiers in military uniforms and training clothes receiving treatment.
Some retired cadres with age-related diseases also come here when they are sick.
Just after Xia Miao left that day, grandpa actually came with Grandpa Dong.
It was only then that He Shu found out that Grandpa Dong had coronary heart disease and was sent here last night because of heart discomfort.
Today he felt that he was better and insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
The doctor disagreed and suggested that he observe for a few more days, but he refused and got angry with the doctor, so he was pulled over by my grandfather.
Mr. Dong is an old man with a very stubborn temper. He shouldn't drink alcohol because of his poor heart.
But he just loves to drink, and if anyone hides his wine, he will curse at them, which is very worrying.
The old man has no relatives at home, whether it’s a nanny or a guard, who would dare to really make him angry and cause him to suffer any harm?
Grandpa would persuade him whenever he had nothing to do, and would take him out fishing and playing, because he didn't want him to drink at home alone.
But recently He Shu was hospitalized, and grandpa had less time to accompany Grandpa Dong, so his old illness recurred.
"Xiao Shu, your ward is great. There are flowers and grass. Oh, and there's even a TV."
He Shu was a little surprised: "Grandpa Dong, is there no ?"
Grandpa Dong curled his lips and said, "When I came here, they gave me a big room to live in, sharing a room with several old men."
"Didn't you say that being alone is boring and you need to find someone to talk to?" Grandpa exposed Grandpa Dong with just one sentence.
Grandpa Dong laughed and said, "Living in a big house is boring. Those old guys don't know anything."
At noon, the nanny brought lunch from home, and Grandpa Dong did not go back, but ate with He Shu and the others.
"Well, your food is still delicious."
He Shu smiled and said, "Then Grandpa Dong, you can come to my room to eat from now on. I have to stay until the end of the month."
"If you ask me, children recover quickly. Old man Sun in my room fell down and it's been more than half a year, and he still can't get up. I think he will be paralyzed in the future."
He Shu didn't know who Old Sun was, so he didn't respond.
Grandpa nodded : "At our age, we are afraid of falling. Our old arms and legs are not as good as before. A fall would be very serious."
Grandpa Dong has a big appetite, and he was the one who cleaned up all the leftover food.
After dinner, grandpa didn't ask him to go back. The two of them set up a chessboard in He Shu's ward, and He Shu watched the game on the side.
He Shu didn't know much about playing chess. It seemed that only older grandfathers liked it.
A boundary river, two sides of troops, chess is a game of strategy and wisdom.
He Shu was watching very seriously. Seeing this, his grandfather started to move the chess pieces while reading out the rules, explaining to He Shu how to move the chariot, how to move the elephant, how to fire the cannon.
The door of the ward was open, and the noise of Grandpa Dong playing chess soon attracted other old men who were playing outside.
Soon, a group of old men gathered in his ward to watch the chess game.
With so many old men, conflicts are likely to arise. Although they are all quite old, they all have bad tempers.
Some people like to interrupt, while others are annoyed when others interrupt them. After a few words, they will end up arguing with each other until they are red in the face.
They are obviously grandfathers, but they still raise their fists at every turn. However, they are just talk and gestures, no one really starts a fight.
But when an old man tremblingly took out an antique-like smoking pipe from his arms, my grandfather refused to listen.
"My grandson can't smell cigarettes, he has to go outside and smoke."
Grandpa Dong also said: "Do you have any sense of discipline, old man? The hospital doesn't allow smoking, but you still bring this thing here?"
The old man who was about to light a pipe laughed twice and put it back when he heard this.
He Shu looked at this group of grandfathers, the youngest of whom was over 60 years old, and thought it was really interesting. Each of them was like a child.
Giving room to other grandfathers, He Shu returned to bed and picked up a book to read.
At this time, his cell phone rang. Someone in the dormitory group was @ing him.
Feng Haoxiang asked which hospital He Shu was in, and Wang Shun said he wanted everyone to come and see him.
He Shu didn't go back to school a while ago, so Feng Haoxiang called He Shu.
He Shu could only say that he was hit by a car, broke his bones and took a long vacation.
These people remembered it. Last time they said they wanted to come, but He Shu didn't let them. So this time they said they wanted to see him again.
Seeing He Shu staring at his phone in a daze, my aunt came over and asked him what was wrong.
He Shu told his aunt, and his aunt smiled and said, "Come if you want to. Aren't your classmates all on good terms with you?"
"Forget it. They will be discharged from the hospital in a few days anyway. I will go back to school to see them then."
He Shu thought about it and refused, mainly because he was afraid that others would know that Instructor Qi was his uncle...
He Shu sent a message to Feng Haoxiang, telling him that he would be discharged from the hospital soon and would return to school to see them in a few days, so they didn't force him.
In the blink of an eye, the day He Shu had been looking forward to being discharged from the hospital arrived.
My uncle drove over in a commercial vehicle because my aunt had moved so many things in during He Shu's hospitalization that half of the vehicle was filled with bags of all sizes.
He Shu can now basically move freely, and can move around on his own and take a bath without any problem.
There were only two new scars, one long and one short, left on his chest and abdomen. These two scars might accompany him for the rest of his life.
When they got home, my aunt felt much more relaxed. She asked He Shu to go back to his room to rest while she and the nanny went downstairs to pack things.
He Shu cleaned his room thoroughly. He sat by the bed for a while and called Xia Miao and his godfather.
Xia Miao is organizing a scholarship ceremony recently. The little girl received two scholarships and will give a speech on stage.
I am also busy rehearsing the program. Every year, most colleges hold singing parties to commemorate teachers and students in early December, so I am quite busy.
After this busy period, it will be New Year’s Day, and then I will have to review for the exams.
But even so, Xia Miao never went without seeing He Shu for more than three days, and sometimes she would come over during lunch break.
Or he would come to accompany He Shu in the evening, have dinner together and then go back to school.
Knowing that He Shu was discharged from the hospital, Xia Miao was very happy and said she would visit him tomorrow.
He Shu thought about it and told Xia Miao not to come over tomorrow as he wanted to go to school.
In fact, his body is fine now as long as he doesn't do too much intense exercise. His broken bones have recovered well and he doesn't feel any pain at all now.
Moreover, his fracture was in the chest, which did not affect his walking activities.
There is no problem with going back to class, but my aunt just won’t agree.
