Chapter 608 Bad news!
If you live in a large apartment in the city, driving back to your hometown to visit your elderly parents will take more than an hour without traffic jams, which is inconvenient.

It is even more troublesome to go to work in Qingyun County, and it takes more than an hour during rush hour.

Wang Qingzhi and his wife simply continued to live in the county town.

"Okay then." Wang Yi no longer insisted and looked around the room to see if there was anything missing. Then his eyes lit up:
"These windows are not good. They are not airtight. So I'll ask someone to make them to order. They will all be replaced with thermally insulated aluminum windows. They will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer!"

"This is possible!" Wang Qingzhi agreed.

Grandma retorted: "Don't bother. These aluminum doors and windows have only been replaced for four or five years. They are not unusable. Why waste that money?"

Wang Yi laughed and said, "Grandma, these aluminum alloy doors and windows are not well sealed. Not to mention the air leakage, even in the summer, those smelly girls can get into the house. Isn't it annoying?"

Grandma nodded: "Those stinky girls are really annoying. I don't know what's going on lately. There are more and more of them every year. They are everywhere!"

"Then we have to replace them with thermally-insulated aluminum. Thermally-insulated aluminum doors and windows have good sealing properties. Once they are replaced, and mesh stickers are pasted on the drain below, we can guarantee that not even a stink bug can get in."

"Really?" Grandma couldn't help but ask.

"of course it's true!"

"That's not bad. But it must cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's very cheap, just a few thousand yuan, not much." Wang Yi deliberately lowered the price.

In fact, all the windows, doors and windows in the house were replaced with better thermal insulation aluminum, which is expected to cost around 20,000 yuan.

But it's all small money.

Keeping warm is important.

As for the stinky sister, she is even more annoying.

Wang Yi remembers that when he was a child, he lived in the village. The windows were all made of wood, which made the airtightness even worse, and there weren’t so many stink bugs.

But now we can’t stop the aluminum alloy doors and windows, they are everywhere, it’s very annoying.

The little brat who came back from the city was so frightened that he lost his voice.

But these problems will not exist after changing to thermal insulation aluminum. We can also arrange it with my grandma.

After dinner, Wang Yi arranged someone to handle this matter specifically.

However, custom-made products take time. The sizes have to be measured before the New Year, and since there is a New Year holiday, it will take until spring to complete the products.

After lunch, Wang Yi and his family played three games of chess with his grandfather, and then went to his grandmother's house again.

Every time I come back, I basically have lunch and dinner at the same time, and I try to keep them equal.

This is also a benefit of a village.

It was because wedding cars were not popular back then, otherwise it would not have been possible to run.

Unless you go around the whole village several times before picking up the bride.

Seeing Wang Yi coming back, grandma was very happy and had already prepared the fruits and snacks that Wang Yi loved to eat when he was a child.

"Xiao Yi, I'll stew a free-range chicken for you tonight! I've raised it for half a year, let's eat it today!"

"Haha, that's such a treat." Wang Yi was in a good mood. This kind of local chicken is not something you can buy whenever you want.

That’s right, many of the local chickens sold at the market may not be genuine local chickens that have been fed pure grains for half a year.

"Mom, will there be two alive this year?" Wang Qingzhi asked.

Grandma nodded: "Yes, only two survived. It is becoming increasingly difficult to raise chickens nowadays. Bird flu is a common occurrence."

"It's amazing to be able to raise two. I heard from Old Sun that all the fish in his family died." Wang Qingzhi said with a smile.

This type of native chicken takes 6-8 months to raise and has a very high mortality rate.

Even for a breeder like my grandma, who is an expert at raising chicks, if she raises six at a time, she would be lucky if only two of them survive by the end of the year.

Yes, the survival rate is that low.

If you are lucky, 30%, if you are unlucky, 15%, or even 0%!

It is not uncommon to raise six chickens in the summer and find that not a single one is left by the end of the year.

The family sat together, drinking tea and chatting.

"By the way, were there any problems with the physical examinations a while ago?" Wang Yi couldn't help but ask.

For the elderly, Wang Yi arranges two experiences a year.

"Your grandma, grandpa, and grandma are all fine and in good health!"

Wang Yi just breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Qingzhi changed the subject: "But your teacher..."

"What's wrong, teacher?"

The sudden bad news made Wang Yi's heart skip a beat. Could it be that it happened after all?
In his previous life, Lao Liu died of cancer...

"Luckily, I did a cancer screening and found lung cancer in its early stages."

Wang Qingzhi sighed: "But it was discovered early, in the early stages, and with symptomatic treatment, there won't be much of a problem."

"That's good." Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll go see him tomorrow."

In his previous life, Old Liu died of lung cancer. He had just retired and was not yet able to enjoy his retirement when he passed away.

Although school teachers are arranged to have physical examinations every year, those examinations are routine examinations at county hospitals, and it is difficult to detect problems in the early stages.

On the contrary, once the problem is discovered, it may already be in the middle or late stages.

To this end, Wang Yi arranged physical examinations and cancer screenings for the three elderly people and Teacher Liu at a Grade A hospital.

The result of this screening was that it was early stage lung cancer.

Lung cancer in its early stages is not scary; it can still be cured with active treatment.

But when it reaches the late stage, even gods cannot save it.

It can be considered as solving a regret in the previous life.

After all, Lao Liu is very caring towards me.

Even though Wang Yi only went to a second-tier university in his previous life and everyone else looked down on him, Old Liu still treated him the same and gave him a lot of help.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Wang Yi always remembers this friendship.

Wang Yi looked at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, this is why physical examinations and screenings are necessary. If we don't do this, when Teacher Liu becomes seriously ill, even gods can't save him. So from now on, you and your grandparents must be obedient and actively cooperate with the physical examinations and screenings twice a year!"

Wang Yi was worried that the three old men were careless and would not take it seriously.

Sure enough, this time grandma nodded very seriously: "Oh! I didn't take it seriously before, but after seeing what happened to your teacher Liu this time, I also know the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry, grandma will check carefully every time from now on!"

"That's good." Wang Yi was in a good mood.

Sometimes, no matter how much advice you give, it is not as good as the examples happening around you.

In his previous life, Lao Liu was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in 2016 and passed away within half a year.

Seven years later, my grandmother was also diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer and passed away in about half a year.

Two big regrets!

But now that Mr. Liu found out about it two years in advance and received active treatment in the first stage, it’s not a big problem.

Similarly, as long as grandma cooperates with physical examinations and cancer screenings twice a year, stomach cancer can be discovered in the first place.

No, not twice a year.

Twice a year is ok now, but in four years, it will have to be four times a year, or even six times!

Yes, check it every two months.

It takes about 2-5 years from the initial onset of cancer to the late stage.

Wang Yi didn’t know what year his grandmother started to get sick in his previous life, but if we count backwards, it was in late 2023, which means she started to get sick between 2018 and 2021!
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Starting from 2018, screening will be required every two months.

As long as cancer is detected in the first stage and treated actively, even if you are in your seventies or eighties, we cannot say that you can be completely cured, but you can live five or six more years, which is not a big problem.

Try to live to 90!

Wang Yi is not greedy.

"Diseases also come from what we eat. We would rather throw away unfresh or spoiled food than eat it." Wang Yi reiterated: "A friend of mine's grandfather just couldn't bear to waste it. He cut off the rotten part of the rotten fruit and continued to eat it. As a result, he got stomach cancer."

"It's so serious!" Grandma was shocked.

Wang Yi nodded: "It's that serious. Fortunately, we are lucky to have discovered it early, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

"Is that so?" The expression on grandma's face became very interesting, but Wang Yi knew that she had listened to him.

Wang Qingzhi and Wang Shulin beside them looked at each other and tried not to laugh.

Everyone knew that Wang Yi was lying and trying to scare grandma.

I find it even more interesting.

Wang Shulin muttered, "When he was a child, his grandmother made up lies to scare Wang Yi. Now the situation is reversed."

"Haha, this is called the changing of times!" Wang Qingzhi said with a laugh.

"What are you two whispering about?" Grandma looked over.

"Mom, we two have agreed that from now on, you should not eat spoiled food and give it to the chickens."

Grandma glared and said, "No, I still have to raise chickens for my grandson to eat, and they have to be good!"

"Hahaha." Everyone in the room laughed.

But the old man next door stood up silently, walked to the wrinkled calendar cards, and flipped through them one by one:

"The New Year is coming soon, should you come back this year?"

The huge yard, the empty house, no one responded.

Wang Yi sent a text message to Wu Shuang, explaining a few things.

After dinner, Wang Yi asked his parents to go back to the county town first, and he stayed with his grandmother.

There has always been a bedroom belonging to Wang Yi at my grandmother's house.

When Wang Yi was a child, his parents were busy at work, so he either lived with his grandmother or his grandparents.

Of course, more at my grandma’s house.

It’s nothing, his grandpa passed away early, and Wang Yi felt that his grandma would be lonely since he was a child, so he often stayed at his grandma’s house during the winter and summer vacations to accompany her.

Although he is a grandson, he is better than a biological grandson!
The next day, after breakfast.

Wang Yi sighed.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyi? Is there anything bothering you?" Grandma asked with concern.

"Grandma, I have to go back to my parents' house, but I can't bear to leave you. What do you think I should do?"

Grandma was silent: "..."

Then he said, "You are trying to get me to spend the New Year at your house, kid!"

“Hahaha.” Wang Yi laughed, his thoughts immediately seen through: “Then just tell me whether you’re going or not!”

Grandma sighed and said, "For your sake, I'll go!"

"Come, grandma, let me help you clean up!" Wang Yi was delighted.

During the Chinese New Year, my grandpa and grandma would come back, and sometimes my uncle would come back. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Wang Yi's family would also come back, which was not bad. But my grandma was really all alone.

Wang Yi couldn't bear to do it.

Must be taken away.

After packing up his things, Wang Yi drove straight back home.

Seeing her grandmother coming back, Wang Shulin pretended to sigh: "As expected, the generations are still close. Qingzhi and I visited you three times, but you refused to come."

Grandma laughed and said, "I'm afraid that coming here will cause trouble to you."

Wang Qingzhi waved his hands quickly: "Mom, what's the trouble? If you don't come, it will cause us trouble. Come in and sit down. I went to the morning market and bought some fresh crucian carp. Let's make soup!"

"Knowing you were coming, Qingyi went shopping for vegetables and fish early in the morning. They all had to be fresh," Wang Shulin said with a smile.

Hearing this, grandma's smile became even brighter: "That's great, my nephew is filial, and my son-in-law is also filial."

"Hmph! It seems like I'm the unfilial one, right?" Wang Shulin said.

"You are the most filial, haha." Grandma held Wang Shulin's hand, her face full of relief.

Her grandfather passed away early, and she lived a lonely life for half her life, but fortunately her daughter, son-in-law, and nephew are all filial to her, and so is her aunt, so her life is considered perfect.

In fact, Wang Qingzhi has always been very filial to his mother-in-law and treats her as his own mother.

There was no other reason. When I got married, my family was poor, I had many brothers, and I had an uncle who was not doing his job properly, so I couldn't show much sincerity.

But grandma didn't care at all, and didn't make things difficult for Wang Qingzhi. She agreed to the marriage without asking for anything.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qingzhi remembered this kindness for his whole life and treated his mother-in-law as his own mother.

Basically, whatever you buy for your grandparents, grandma will get more, not less.

Wang Yi made tea for grandma and said with a smile: "Grandma, you drink your tea first. I have to go to the hospital first. To see Old Liu... Teacher Liu."

"Okay, go quickly. You should visit the patient in the morning. It's taboo to visit too late. Your parents will accompany me." Grandma said with a smile.

"Okay, grandma, I'll be back soon."

Whether it is because of some people's taboos or because visiting in the afternoon will affect the patient's rest, it is more reasonable to visit the patient in the morning.

Wang Yi came downstairs and Wu Shuang was already waiting on the roadside. She handed him a bag:

"Chairman, I have completed everything you requested. I have also bought two boxes of sea cucumbers, two boxes of bird's nests, a fruit basket and flowers. They are all in the trunk."

"Okay, let's go to the Provincial Cancer Hospital."

Half an hour later, Wang Yi arrived at the Provincial Cancer Hospital.

When he saw Wang Yi, Old Liu on the hospital bed's eyes lit up and were filled with excitement.

Wang Yi quickly calmed the other person down: "Old Liu, don't get excited, we have an IV drip!"

Old Liu grinned, and his hair seemed to have become much whiter.

Being diagnosed with this disease is a critical blow both physically and mentally.

"Wang Yi, you're here." Old Liu said with a smile: "Thanks to the cancer screening you arranged, otherwise I wouldn't know I have lung cancer now!"

The master's wife was also filled with emotion and quickly held Wang Yi's hand: "Wang Yi, you saved Lao Liu's life! If it weren't for your twice-yearly physical examinations and cancer screening, the doctor said that Lao Liu's lung cancer would probably not be discovered until the middle or even late stages, and then it would be too late!"

"Thanks to you, the disease was detected early on. Thank you so much, thank you." As she said this, the master's wife was about to bow.

Wang Yi quickly supported the master's wife and said, "Master's wife, you are too polite. There is no outsider here. When I was in high school, Lao Liu took good care of me. It's all my duty."

"It is Lao Liu's blessing to have a student like you."

"I am very lucky to have a teacher like Lao Liu."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

At this time, Liu Siyu came in carrying hot water: "Brother Wang Yi, you are here!"

"Come and see Teacher Liu."

"Yeah." Liu Siyu put down the hot water, looked at Wang Yi with an extremely complicated expression, and then walked closer to Wang Yi:
"Brother Wang Yi, thank you for saving my dad. I cannot thank you enough for saving my life. I... I... I will kowtow to you!"

As she said this, the honest girl was about to kneel down, which scared Wang Yi!
She is just a little girl after all!

Wang Yi quickly supported Liu Siyu and said with a smile: "Have you read too many novels? You still want to kowtow to me? Do you want to kowtow to me?"

Liu Siyu chuckled, and there was something even more wrong in her eyes when she looked at Wang Yi.

Since being hospitalized, both doctors and nurses said that Mr. Liu had completed cancer screening twice a year, which is why the disease was detected in the first place.

If it happens once a year, it may be the middle period.

If you don't check it out, it's over. By the time you start to feel uncomfortable, it will be in the middle or late stages, and the hope of cure will be slim, especially if the disease has spread in the late stages and there is no way to save it.

In this way, Liu Siyu completely understood everything, it was all thanks to Wang Yi.

According to the novel, this kind of grace of saving one's father must be rewarded with one's own life!
"Hehe, I just don't know how to express my gratitude." Liu Siyu curled her lips.

"Don't know how to express your gratitude? That's easy!" Wang Yi smiled: "I'll make a request."

"Okay, you saved my dad, I'll do whatever you say!" Liu Siyu has the attitude of a chivalrous woman who always keeps her word and does what she says.

"really?"

"really!"

"whatever?"

"Yes, anything!"

"Okay, then get into Peking University or Tsinghua University!"

"!!!" Liu Siyu's mouth twitched, and she felt unwell: "..."

'Is this something a human would do?'

"Entering Peking University or Tsinghua University? Never mind. I'll kowtow to you anyway!"

As Liu Siyu said this, she was about to kowtow again.

"Hahaha!" Everyone in the room laughed.

Wang Yi quickly stopped the other party: "You must be joking. So, instead of applying to Peking University or Tsinghua University, you can apply to a 985 university. Any one will do. Even a low-tier 985 university!"

"Emm..." Liu Siyu thought about it seriously and nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"

"A gentleman's word!" Wang Yi raised his hand.

"It's hard to catch up with him!" Liu Siyu came over.

Seeing this scene, the master's wife was filled with relief, and Old Liu on the hospital bed was in an even better mood.

If this hadn't happened, Liu Siyu, who was obsessed with reading novels every day, would have had a hard time getting into even a top university, let alone a 985 university.

But with the agreement with Wang Yi, plus the "favor of saving my father", maybe getting into a 985 university is really possible.

"This is a good way to repay a favor!" Old Liu felt emotional. He no longer had to worry about his daughter's studies.

As expected, Liu Siyu lowered her head and muttered, "It's over. The good days are over. I have to read more serious books in the future! Otherwise, there is no way I can get into a 985 university!"

"Ugh!"

"Hahaha."

Wang Yi and the other two all laughed.

Afterwards, Wang Yi took the medical record and examined it carefully. He then found the attending physician and had a detailed conversation with him:
"Hello, Mr. Wang. Teacher Liu's condition is relatively optimistic. The tumor is currently in the lungs and there is no lymph node metastasis. It is considered stage I lung cancer."

"According to our examination, the patient's lung tumor is about 1.5 centimeters and is in stage 1A2. Through surgery + standardized treatment, the lung lobe where the tumor is located is removed, and the cure rate is still very high."

"How high can it be?" Wang Yi asked.

“The five-year survival rate is around 85%.”

“85%? That’s not bad.” Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Cancer is divided into stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV.

One of the phases is what we often call the early stage.

The first stage is divided into stage IA and stage IB.

If the tumor is less than or equal to 3 cm and has no lymph node metastasis, it is stage IA.

If the tumor is 3-4 cm, or invades the main bronchus/visceral pleura, and there is no lymph node metastasis, it is stage IB.

By stage IB, the five-year survival rate is only 60%-73%.

Stage IA is better, especially since it is currently stage IA2, which is less than 2 centimeters.

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

After chatting with the doctor for a while, Wang Yi returned to the ward: "Teacher, Master's wife, the current condition is still ideal, but surgery is required as soon as possible. So, I will ask someone to arrange for the teacher to be transferred to the Imperial Capital Medical Academy Cancer Hospital for surgery as soon as possible!"

Old Liu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Wang Yi. Our provincial cancer hospital is one of the best in the country, especially in terms of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. It's not much worse than the Imperial Capital Cancer Hospital. It's okay."

Wang Yi had no choice but to nod his head: "Alright, then we'll go to the Provincial Cancer Hospital. I'll invite the best experts in the country to come for consultation and have the surgery done as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

"Why are you so polite!"

Wang Yi immediately asked someone to arrange everything.

Gather the most professional experts, consult and develop plans!
After chatting with Lao Liu for a while, Wang Yi said goodbye and left.

The master's wife and Liu Siyu sent Wang Yi to the door, but Wang Yi stopped and took out a key:
"Master's wife, the hospital has a rule that only one person can take care of the teacher at night. At least one of you and Siyu has to go back to the county town from the hospital every day, which is too tiring. It just so happens that I have a house nearby that is unused and has all kinds of kitchen utensils. You and Siyu can live here first. It will be convenient for you to cook for Teacher Liu and save you from running back and forth."

"No, no, Wang Yi, you've done enough. We can't trouble you anymore." The master's wife waved her hand and refused: "We plan to rent a small house nearby and live there first. There are many rental houses for accompanying patients here..."

"Teacher's wife, those rental houses are partitioned rooms in the homes of nearby villagers. The environment is too ordinary and the safety factor is not high. You have worked hard to take care of Teacher Liu, and you need to have a good rest. You should stay here with me." Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Really, it's too much trouble." The master's wife refused again: "We can just rent a small house and stay here for the time being."

"Master's Wife, Teacher Liu will need a few days of consultation with experts to formulate a final plan for the operation. The treatment will also take several courses, which will take several months. It will not be done in a short time. The two of you will take turns to take care of him, and you will be very tired. You both need sufficient and high-quality rest, so don't refuse me."

Wang Yi spoke again and forced the key into his master's wife's hand.

"Wang Yi, I...I...I really don't know how to thank you." Tears welled up in the master's wife's eyes.

What Wang Yi did to Lao Liu far exceeded what a student should do.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Master's Wife, Teacher Liu is very good to me, it's nothing. Besides, I bought this house for investment purposes, waiting for it to appreciate in value in the future if it is demolished, and I am too lazy to rent it out. If you don't live in it, it will be a waste if it is vacant!"

"Okay, Wang Yi, thank you, thank you so much." The master's wife spoke incoherently and finally accepted the key.

"That's right." Wang Yi said, and took out another insurance policy from his bag:
"I forgot to tell you that I bought medical insurance and critical illness insurance for my parents, grandpa, grandma, and grandma. Teacher Liu experienced it together, so I asked someone to buy one for me. Now, I'm using it!"

Master’s Wife: “!!!”

Liu Siyu: "!!!"

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

As an old teacher in the system, Lao Liu has medical insurance, but for major surgery like cancer, only part of the insurance is reimbursed.

In particular, many medicines will be better if imported, and the chance of cure is higher, but they are not included in the reimbursement list and not a cent will be reimbursed.

If imported drugs are used and chemotherapy after surgery is also done, the whole package may cost nearly 14 yuan.

Among them, it is estimated that 7 yuan will be spent on imported drugs, which are not reimbursed and need to be paid by the patient himself.
