Song Yi

Chapter 138 Darkness Chen Cang
Today is New Year's Eve.

Everyone had to watch the New Year's Eve at night. Everyone didn't sleep well the first night. Seeing that Zhan's mother was in a stable condition, Du Wenhao asked Lin Qingdai, Xue Fei'er, and Yingzi to sleep for a while so that they could watch the New Year's Eve in the middle of the night.

At the third watch, all the girls got up to watch the New Year. Seeing that Zhan's mother's condition was stable, she was already half asleep and half awake, and gradually getting better, they all became happy and started to prepare for the New Year.

At midnight, New Year's Eve finally arrived.

The melodious bell of Daxiangguo Temple came from a distance:

Boom—boom—boom...

Immediately, countless fireworks rushed into the night sky, blooming in the snowflakes, illuminating most of the night sky.The sound of New Year's firecrackers sounded from all directions, which was deafening.

There were no children in the Floating Cloud Hall, and the guards guarded the surrounding nervously, and all the girls followed Du Wenhao in Zhan's mother's ward to rescue patients, so the courtyard was very quiet, making it even more lively outside.

Zhan's mother was awakened by the bell on New Year's Eve. She slowly opened her eyes and moved her lips to say something to Pang Yuqin, but her trachea was cut and her vocal cords could not be moved. There was only a rustling sound.

Pang Yuqin kept guessing, and finally understood what the old lady meant, and hurriedly opened a window so that the old lady could see the sky filled with fireworks.

When the old lady was happy, she felt a gurgling bowel sound in her abdomen, and she farted several times in a row, but it was covered up by the sound of firecrackers outside.

Pang Yuqin had told her earlier that as long as the gas was exhausted, the gastric tube could be removed. She was overjoyed and wanted to talk, but she still couldn't tell the relationship between the incision.

Pang Yuqin saw that Zhan's mother wanted to speak, so she quickly leaned over and said:

"Grandma, what do you want to say?"

Mother Zhan laboriously made a gesture of writing.Pang Yuqin hurried to get a pen and paper and handed it to her.Trembling, Mother Zhan wrote three words slowly:
"I'm exhausted!"

Pang Yuqin said happily, "Grandma, did you really get exhausted just now?"

Mother James nodded.

Pang Yuqin said: "Okay, I'll pull out the gastric tube for you right away!" Grabbing the pumpkin vine, he pulled it out gently and quickly.

As soon as the stomach tube came out, Zhan's mother let out a long and comfortable breath, feeling that there is no better moment in the world than this!I opened my mouth to say thank you, but the air flow escaped from the throat incision, unable to drive the vocal cords to make a sound.

Du Wenhao asked Pang Yuqin to wipe Mother Zhan's palms with disinfectant, then took a small piece of sterile surgical towel and put it under the throat incision, and put a small stack of sterilized gauze on top of the surgical towel, and told Mother Zhan if he wanted to talk , Just use sterile gauze to gently press the incision ring, and you can speak.

Mother Zhan took the gauze and put it on, and said, "Thank you..."

Sure enough, the voice came out.Nice to say thank you a few more times.

The urine from mother Zhan's urinary catheter has always been relatively normal, so Du Wenhao asked Pang Yuqin to pull out the urinary catheter as well, and the abdominal drainage tube cannot be removed for the time being.

However, after the two most painful tubes were pulled out, Mother Zhan felt at ease.

Pang Yuqin brought a pillow and let her lean on her side, so that she could lie comfortably and watch the fireworks at night outside.

The kitchen has already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Now that the air is ventilated, some liquid food can be eaten.At Pang Yuqin's suggestion, they moved the New Year's Eve dinner to the ward to celebrate the New Year together.

Fireworks in the night sky outside burst into the sky from time to time.The fireworks in the Song Dynasty are naturally not as diverse as the current fireworks, but the Chinese New Year in ancient times is much more lively than in modern times. The city is full of firecrackers, laughter, and cheers. It is very lively.

Du Wenhao didn't dare to drink because he didn't know if other things would happen after Zhan's mother, so the girls naturally didn't drink too, so they spent New Year's Eve together with tea instead of wine.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xue Fei'er was still a child. Seeing that Zhan's mother's condition had stabilized, she took the fireworks and firecrackers she bought the day before to the yard and set them off. Only then did the house become lively for the New Year.

After the fireworks were set off, Lin Qingdai asked Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin to go back to sleep. Pang Yuqin said that they were not sleepy and that they had to keep watch on New Year's Eve. Of course Du Wenhao refused to go back to sleep alone, so they all sat together and chatted.

After chatting in the middle of the night, Du Wenhao couldn't stand it any longer, and fell asleep on Pang Yuqin's lap.At this time, there was a loud gong and drum outside, and it turned out that it was a parade of lanterns parading the streets on New Year's Eve.

But Du Wenhao was too tired, even such noise could not wake him up.

Xuefeier and Yingzi like to be lively, so they took Lin Qingdai to the door to watch the lanterns.Only Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin were left in the room.

Pang Yuqin looked at her husband who fell asleep on her lap lovingly, and her heart was full of tenderness.

Thinking of the two getting married for so many days, the parents and grandma still don't know, and they don't know if they are doing well at the moment, thinking about these, I feel a little sad.

Seeing her expression, Zhan's mother blocked the throat incision with gauze, and said to Pang Yuqin, "Girl, are you homesick?"

Pang Yuqin forced a smile and nodded.

"Can you tell grandma where you are from?"

Pang Yuqin shook her head: "I'm sorry, grandma, I can't tell."

Zhan's mother said: "Grandma can see that you are well-educated and reasonable. You should be a lady of every family. Your father should be an official of the court, right?"

Pang Yuqin hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

"Oh, when I heard my son begging your husband to save me, I knew that your husband is a hermit and he doesn't want others to disturb you, so you covered your face."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Grandma."

"It's nothing, but anyone who is capable is relatively noble. You, your husband, and a few girls are very kind to the old man, especially the young lady, you are really better than the old granddaughter. Look at you Your hand, when I was irritable earlier, I scratched your hand to pieces, you didn’t even hide for a moment, let me grab it, this kind of love, grandma..., how can grandma repay..."

Pang Yuqin smiled and said, "Grandma, you're welcome."

Mother Zhan's words were a little choked up, and she whispered:
"This night I was thinking, my life was saved by you, and I have to repay it well. The old man's son is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the performance evaluation of local officials is under the control of my son. He still speaks a little bit. Your husband saved my life, his medical skills are like a god, I think, when I get better and go back, let my son recommend your husband to work in the Hanlin Medical Officer Bureau or Tai Hospital, okay?"

Pang Yuqin said: "My husband-in-law just wants to live in seclusion now, and he doesn't want to go out to be an official. We appreciate grandma's wishes."

"That's it." Mother Zhan nodded, thought for a while, and said:
"If you can trust grandma, tell grandma about your father's situation while there is no one else and your husband is asleep again, and I will ask my son to transfer your father to the capital. Wouldn't your father and daughter be reunited?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Yuqin was both surprised and delighted: "Really?"

"Of course it's true! My son can still do such a small thing!"

Pang Yuqin finally shook her head: "Thank you grandma, but this won't work, we can't let my parents and grandma know that we are in the capital."

Zhan's mother wondered: "Could it be that you all came to the capital privately to escape marriage for life? Don't be afraid, I will tell your parents and your grandma that your husband is a good man. If you don't marry such a person, who will you marry? Don't worry." , with grandma making the decision for you, you don’t have to be afraid of anything!”

"Thank you, grandma. We are not running away from marriage. I was promised by my grandma and parents. However, I can't let my parents know that we are in the capital now. Please forgive me for not telling you the reason."

"Oh, grandma doesn't ask anymore, you must have your reasons. But don't worry, you tell grandma about your father's situation. Grandma swears that she will never tell anyone else, including my son. I only ask him to transfer your father Just come to the capital. As for the reason, I won't tell him.

In the future, when your father is transferred to the capital, I will not tell your parents about your situation. I know you don't want others to disturb you.Your parents and grandma are in the capital, and you know how they live. If you think about it, you can secretly visit them. In the future, you don’t have to live in seclusion, so the family can be together? "

Pang Yuqin nodded happily: "Well, that's good, thank you grandma, it will definitely cost money to transfer my father to the capital, I'll give you how much it takes!"

"Look at what you said! Your husband and wife saved my life, but no amount of money can buy it back, and thanks to you calling me grandma, it's nothing to do this little favor for me. To tell you the truth, my son is filial, so don't worry about this matter, leave it to grandma!"

Pang Yuqin was very grateful and softly told Zhan's mother about his father.At the end, he said again: "The one who set off the firecrackers outside earlier was my husband's god-sister, and also my good sister. She also lives in seclusion with our husband and wife. His father also opened a 'Hengxiang Inn' in the county town. Can grandma find a way to let them move to the capital together?"

Mother Zhan thought for a while, and said: "This is a little difficult. The examination department can't control other people's business. However, if grandma knows the merchant, you can try to find an acquaintance to contact him to join the capital. Don't worry, grandma will definitely try her best." manage."

After a while, Lin Qingdai and the others came back and excitedly set off firecrackers and fireworks in the yard, which woke up Du Wenhao. go back to sleep.

The next day is New Year's Day.

Du Wenhao only slept for a short while, thinking about the old lady's condition in his heart, when he woke up, his wife was not by his side, so he hurriedly got up and went to the ward.Pang Yuqin was feeding Zhan's mother to drink ginseng porridge, when she saw Du Wenhao coming in, she smiled and said, "Sir, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"You can't sleep anymore."

Pang Yuqin blushed, lowered her head and said coquettishly, "Grandma is here!"

Mother Zhan also laughed, blocked the incision of her throat with gauze, and said:

"Don't worry about me, I'm someone from here, and it's your grandma, so just treat me as if I don't exist."

Du Wenhao was also a little embarrassed, asked Zhan's mother about her self-awareness, checked the drainage, and after checking her tongue and cutting her pulse, her vital signs were relatively stable, so she was relieved.
