Although the smell of disinfectant was strong in the corridor of the hospital, there seemed to be an irrepressible stench in the air.
The corridor was bustling with activity. Although there were many people, everyone was trying their best not to make too much noise.
After all, it was an unlucky place. Sadness and sadness were the main theme here.
The back of the bed could be raised. Instead of saying that Aunt Zhang was lying on the bed, it was better to say that she was leaning on the bed.
When the little girl saw her grandmother's sickly appearance, she immediately lay in her grandmother's arms and cried out sadly.
When Aunt Zhang saw this, she immediately patted her little head and comforted her very kindly, "Oh, my good granddaughter, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell grandma, grandma will stand up for you! "
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes turned red. She said with an aggrieved face, "Grandma, don't be sick! I don't want you to be sick … "
"Alright, alright, grandma is not sick …"
Aunt Zhang took out a tissue and wiped the little girl's face. Then, she pinched her little face and comforted her, "Good girl, don't cry. Look at how many people are here, and you're still crying here. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
The little girl turned her head and glanced at both sides of the corridor. When she saw that many people were looking at them, she immediately sniffled a little embarrassedly. Then, she threw herself into Aunt Zhang's arms and hugged her tightly.
Just when the little girl and Aunt Zhang were being lovey-dovey, Chen Xi came to Xie Pinglin's side.
He patted Xie Pinglin's shoulder and walked to the side.
When Xie Pinglin came over, Chen Xi asked directly, "What did the doctor say?"
"They did a Doppler examination in the morning. The report is just out … I've asked the doctor. The doctor said that acute cerebral blood supply is very common in the elderly. It's not a big problem. She just needs to pay more attention to her diet and rest …"
"Is that so?"
Chen Xi pondered for a while. Then, he looked at Aunt Zhang's bed and asked rather unhappily, "Are there no more beds in the hospital? Why did they arrange for her to be in the corridor? "
There were several types of beds in the hospital. The most common ones were a seven-person room, a three-person room, a double room, and a single room.
As for the aisles, usually only patients with limited beds or financial difficulties would stay there.
In the past two years, the housing prices in Chengdu had risen particularly fast. The prices in the Third Ring Road had exceeded ten thousand, and the prices in the South Gate were as high as twenty to thirty thousand.
However, Chen Xi had not given Xie Pinglin one million, but one million and eight hundred thousand.
The money was more than enough to buy a house with three bedrooms and one living room. Moreover, Xie Pinglin and his wife had some savings.
If Xie Pinglin really wanted to mistreat his own mother, Chen Xi could only apologize to him …
However, the real situation was not what Chen Xi imagined.
When Xie Pinglin heard Chen Xi's question, he couldn't help but look at his expression.
After realizing that Chen Xi seemed to be a little angry, Xie Pinglin quickly explained, "It's not that there aren't enough beds, and it's not that I don't want to spend money. It's just that my mom doesn't agree …"
"Originally, I arranged a double room for her, but after my mom woke up, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her. She was afraid that it would be a waste, so she insisted that the nurse move her to the aisles. She wouldn't listen no matter how I persuaded her …"
"Since she didn't want to, I had no choice but to let it be …"
Speaking of this, Xie Pinglin was also quite depressed.
In fact, the hospital bed fee was not too expensive. There were clearly beds in the ward, but as a son, he let his mother stay in the aisles. Therefore, he had been looked down upon by many people these two days.
"Then it seems that I've misunderstood you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Chen, you're treating me like an outsider …"
Xie Pinglin was still the same as before, not good with words.
Therefore, Chen Xi changed the topic and asked about their recent situation.
Their child was still young. Once Aunt Zhang fell ill, there was no one to take care of the child. A place like the hospital was obviously not suitable for children to stay for long, so Cai Shuqin was now at home taking care of the child all day.
The two of them chatted for a while. Seeing that Aunt Zhang had coaxed the little guy, Chen Xi went to Aunt Zhang's bedside and took her pulse.
Aunt Zhang's current situation was indeed similar to what the doctor said. There was no major problem, but her pulse was weak, and her Qi and blood were insufficient. She would be fine after a good rest, a regular diet, and more exercise.
However, it was precisely because of this that Chen Xi felt a little strange.
Could it be that his Energy Cultivation Pill was really a fake and inferior product?
How long had it been since Aunt Zhang returned to Chengdu?
How did this happen?
Thinking of this, Chen Xi could not help but ask doubtfully, "Once acute cerebral blood supply deficiency occurs, it will come very suddenly. However, there should be some signs before the onset, such as blurred vision, tinnitus, nausea, cold sweat, and weakness in the limbs. You didn't feel any of these before?"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang shook her head and smiled, "No, I'm old. It's normal for some problems to suddenly appear … Previously, we were celebrating the New Year at our hometown. I guess it's because we haven't been back for a long time. After I got there, I felt a little unacclimatized and couldn't sleep well … Other than sleep, there were no other problems. The symptoms you mentioned just now, there were none at all …"
"There were no signs?"
Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Chen Xi was instantly puzzled.
It sounded like everything was normal.
Thus, after pondering for a while, he continued to ask, "Where is your hometown?"
"Rain City."
Although Rain City was a prefecture-level city, due to geographical reasons, its economic development was very slow. It could not even compare to some of the coastal towns.
However, such a small and unremarkable city had once been glorious.
During the Republic of China, Rain City was the provincial capital of Xikang Province. Its status was comparable to the current Chengdu.
In 1955, the first session of the National People's Congress officially proposed to abolish Xikang Province. Thus, Rain City lost its status as a provincial capital.
This place was surrounded by mountains on all sides. The terrain was narrow and it was inconvenient to travel. After Xikang Province was abolished, Rain City's development was greatly affected. It was gradually reduced to an eighteenth-tier small city.
Later on, Rain City finally walked into the eyes of the entire nation again. However, it was because of the 4.20 earthquake in 2013.
"Rain City?"
Chen Xi thoughtfully repeated the name of this place. Suddenly, a question appeared in his mind.
Could it be that there was something wrong with that place?
Aunt Zhang was still lying on the hospital bed, so Chen Xi did not ask much.
The most important thing now was to let the old lady rest well and recover her body.
Thus, after feeding Aunt Zhang a simplified version of the Energy Enhancing Pill, Chen Xi went to Huaxi Gold Card Medical Center to apply for a gold card for her in case such a situation happened again.
In this day and age, money could make the devil turn millstones, let alone a hospital.
The Gold Card Medical Center was located in Huaxi Hospital's headquarters. Ordinary members were fifty-eight thousand and advanced members were two hundred thousand. When they entered the hospital, they could enjoy concierge reception, personal care, five-star hotel rooms, on-site services, and 24 hours of call.
After all, Chen Xi could not stay in Chengdu for a long period of time.
Aunt Zhang was old, so it was better to be prepared for her advanced membership.
