Gu Dong was hospitalized for more than twenty days,
There was basically no problem,
So he planned to go home, but..,
Before he left..,
He asked the Ai Cao for some food,
Then he went to the black market in Jiang Yuan to exchange for money, food stamps, cloth stamps, and other things.
The black market in the county city gave Gu Dong a great impact. He also agreed with Jiang Yuan,
In the future, if he could get food or something from the village..,
He would look for him and ask him to exchange for the needed food in the city. (This was to be said at the dinner table.)
Then he took the Ai Cao to the department store,
He bought skincare products and a scarf for her,
He also bought a coat and pants,
As for the cotton-padded jacket inside..,
The Ai Cao said that he should go back and make it himself,
The one he bought was not as warm as the one he made.
After finishing the things, the four of them ate together that day. Gu Dong kept asking Zhuang Yan about going to school. Zhuang Yan knew that Gu Dong wanted the Ai Cao to learn,
She was very excited,
She said that it was okay and even encouraged the Ai Cao to learn,
She said that it was a new era now,
Women also held up half the sky,
She wanted it to work hard. She also told the Ai Cao a lot of beautiful future that they did not know about.
Then, Gu Dong and Jiang Yuan talked about the two of them working together in the future.
Then, Jiang Yuan said that many people in the city did not have enough coal to use. They had firewood stoves at home. It would be great if he could get some firewood. It would be best if he could arrange it neatly so that it would look good.
But to be honest, he did not earn much. It was up to him to earn it.
It was already only one cent. If he asked for too much, he would rather run far away to pick it up himself.
Gu Dong said that it was no problem. Even a mosquito leg was meat. Now that he had a chance to earn it, it was better than staying at home all winter.
Time passed by in a flash. Gu Dong had already stayed in the hospital for twenty-one days. He was supposed to feel free and bored to recuperate, but in fact, the Ai Cao's days were extremely busy.
Ever since Gu Dong was awarded the title of "Hero" for fighting the villains, the Ai Cao had not felt that the ward was quiet for even a single day.
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow. Just treat it as hiding." It had been a long time since then. Although Gu Dong was no longer as rare and popular as before, there were still new patients who heard about Gu Dong's deeds from other people and came to the ward to take a look.
Gu Dong was annoyed to death by having to entertain all these random people every day.
"Does Doctor Fang agree?" Ai Cao was worried that Gu Dong's wound had not healed yet, and there might be other accidents. Doctor Fang was Gu Dong's attending physician. He was usually very attentive to Gu Dong.
"Agreed! I'm sure he'll agree, "Gu Dong said confidently.
The Ai Cao was in disbelief. She shook her head. "If he thinks that your wound has healed, then he should let you leave the hospital. But when I asked him the day before yesterday, he said that it would be best for you to stay for another ten days to half a month."
"Ah! Don't listen to him. I know my own body. The wound has already healed. Previously, he even told me that it was because of the cold weather, which made it grow a little slower. That's why he was worried about me leaving the hospital. Also, as you can see, my eating and going to the bathroom are not affected. "
Gu Dong turned over from the hospital bed and walked back and forth in the room for the Ai Cao to take a look.
The Ai Cao saw that he wanted to deal with it. She also understood his feelings of being driven crazy by staying in this small room all day, so she said very considerately, "Then I'll ask Doctor Fang again. If he says that you can leave, then we'll leave."
In the bustling hospital, people were crying in ecstasy. This scene could be seen everywhere in the corridors, the halls, and the wards.
The Ai Cao walked through the inpatient ward and towards the office. Looking at these scenes, she no longer had the panic and uneasiness she had when she first came to the hospital.
After staying here for so long, she had gotten used to it. She had also seen through it.
Birth, old age, illness, and death happened every day. In places that you knew or did not know, the most realistic scenes in the world were played out.
Other people were like onlookers or spectators. When they saw these scenes, they would be happy, sad, pitiful, gratified, and so on for a while. After that, they would turn around and immerse themselves in their own lives.
What about the "leading actors"? These scenes formed the most realistic scenes in their lives. Either joy or sadness came from the heart, and they felt it personally.
Therefore, she was not someone else. If she did not stand in the perspective of others, she should not easily judge the actions of others.
Who knew what was hidden behind the good and bad?
The Ai Cao saw heartless parents in the hospital. After their son confirmed that the treatment was ineffective, they decided not to use medicine anymore. She also saw people who emptied their family's savings for the sake of their patients. Even if they could not save their patients, they still wanted to save them.
The Ai Cao did not want to judge these, but when she saw these scenes, she faintly felt touched in her heart.
She did not want to experience such days in the future. Whether it was her grandfather or Gu Dong, she did not want to face the choice of whether to save them or not when she was in the hospital in the future.
Therefore, she secretly rejoiced in her heart. She rejoiced that she met Jiang Yuan. If Jiang Yuan had not given her a chance to turn food into money when she was most in need of money and was about to be driven to a dead end. It was very likely that Gu Dong could only be brought back home and recuperate in bed.
When the Ai Cao broke into Doctor Fang's office, he happened to be sorting out the information of the previous patient. When he saw the Ai Cao at the door, he took the initiative to let her in.
"Come in. What's wrong? Gu Dong is not feeling unwell, right? I saw that he was very lively these two days. "Doctor Fang joked.
Gu Dong was indeed very energetic. He was lying on the hospital bed in a hospital gown. When he was just transferred to the hospital, he looked weak and pale. After his wound healed, his spirit was very good.
"No, he's fine." The Ai Cao smiled and asked embarrassedly, "Doctor Fang, with Gu Dong's current condition, can he go out for a walk?"
"Is it because he can't stand staying in the room all the time? Hahaha. Actually, with his current condition, it's okay for him to go out for a walk. He knows that he can do it without doing any strenuous exercise and pulling on his wound."
"Then can we be discharged from the hospital and go home?" The Ai Cao asked a little impatiently. Really, the hospital was not a place that people were willing to stay in.
"We can go home." Doctor Fang's words made the Ai Cao's eyes lit up. "But, like before, I suggest that Gu Dong stay in the hospital for a few more days and go home when he's almost recovered."
Doctor Fang teased Mugwort and explained to her with a smile, "If this was any other patient, the hospital would have sent you home to recuperate. But now, the reason for Gu Dong's injury is very special, isn't it? Previously, when the leader was patrolling, he told us to use the best medicine to treat the hero."
"So?" The Ai Cao was a little confused. Didn't doctors make decisions based on the patient's condition?
"So, no one will send you away. You can stay in the hospital for a few more days." Doctor Fang said seriously, "Gu Dong is young and his body recovers quickly. But I'm afraid that there will be some sequelae in the future. If you recuperate well now, you won't have to worry about it in the future."
"Okay. Thank you, doctor." The doctor was indeed thinking for them. The Ai Cao stood up and bowed sincerely to thank him.
After returning to the ward, the Ai Cao was in a good mood and told Gu Dong, "We can go out now!"
"Haha, you're in such a good mood!" Gu Dong could obviously feel the Ai Cao's emotions.
"Yes." The Ai Cao nodded and packed her things briskly without explaining the reason.
In fact, she previously thought that Doctor Fang didn't let Gu Dong leave the hospital because there was still something wrong with Gu Dong. Now she knew that it was only because he felt that they could recuperate better in the hospital than at home. So, she didn't have any hidden worries in her heart. Of course, she was in a good mood.
"Where are we going?" Gu Dong asked the Ai Cao when they walked out of the hospital.
"I don't know. I don't know where to go either." These days, the Ai Cao was either taking care of Gu Dong or staying at Zhuang Yan's house. She didn't have the mood or time to go out.
"Take it to Jiang Yuan." Gu Dong took the Ai Cao's hand and made the decision without her permission.
"You …" The Ai Cao's face immediately turned red. Recently, Gu Dong had been so honest and kept touching her. "This, this is the street." The Ai Cao wanted to pull her hand out awkwardly.
"There's no one here!" Gu Dong looked around. At this time, it was already past 10 o 'clock in the morning. Basically, all the employees had gone to work. If they didn't go to work, no one would wander around in the cold October weather.
"It's not good to be seen by others!" The Ai Cao protested in a low voice. She was still not used to being so intimate with Gu Dong in public.
Gu Dong looked at the Ai Cao's face, which was as red as a cooked shrimp. After teasing her for a while, he let go and said, "Okay, then you walk in front."
They were still on the street. Gu Dong could only secretly hold her hand like this. If they were really seen by gossipy women with armbands and nothing else to do, they would be criticized for being immoral.
The Ai Cao was familiar with the road to Jiang Yuan's house. After turning left and right for a while, the Ai Cao brought Gu Dong over.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a round wooden disc flew directly at Gu Dong's head. The Ai Cao nervously wanted to block it, but Gu Dong raised his hand and caught it.
It was the mischief of a naughty child in the courtyard.
"Yo, whose is this? You can't hit someone's head! "Gu Dong looked at the group of children under the tree and laughed.
"Give me back my disc!" A seven or eight year old child ran over and wanted to pounce on Gu Dong. Gu Dong pulled the Ai Cao and turned around, causing the child to miss.
"Wah! Wah wah, wah wah! "The naughty child saw that he missed and immediately started howling. At the same time, he didn't forget to scratch Gu Dong with his claws.
"Give it to him, hurry up." The Ai Cao pulled Gu Dong's arm and said to him.
The Ai Cao had been here many times and had a certain degree of understanding of these people. If he cried a few more times, his mother would probably come out and scold him.
This kind of person had very low standards. There was no way to reason with her. Regardless of whether she resented her son or not, if she saw her son crying, she would definitely think that her son was at a disadvantage. She would act like a shrew and not let go.
During these days, the Ai Cao felt that some people's upbringing was really indescribable. Even the Ai family's old wives weren't as crazy as them when it came to protecting Ai Yaozong.
Anyone who touched their son was the same as touching their lives.
