Two generations of military wives compete for time

"Okay, I'll go ask him to come over and answer the phone." Grandma Chen Yalu put down the phone and went out to call Dad Qian to answer the phone.

Qian Yizhen said, "Grandma, please rest in the living room. I'll go and call my dad to answer the phone."

Dad Qian narrowed his eyes and cautiously walked to the living room at the entrance to the courtyard. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, is this Gou Huan? Why did you think of calling me? Don't call me if you don't have anything to do. It costs money."

"Grandpa, I miss you. Aunt Yizhen asked Sister Yuan Daoqin to find out the best hospital for eye diseases in Beijing. Sister Yuan Daoqin told me that she has found a particularly good hospital for eye diseases in Beijing.

I'm calling you to ask you to come to Beijing to treat your eye disease. Since you are not busy with your studies now, I will accompany you to the hospital. Don't worry, cataract surgery is very simple and can be completed in half a day without hospitalization.

After the surgery, you can go back to Beijing to recuperate. I will accompany you throughout the whole process. When your eyes are healed, I will take you to visit the scenic spots and historical sites in Beijing, okay? ......."

Father Qian silently listened to his grandson Baogui's constant and repeated requests on the other end of the phone, asking him to go to a large hospital in Beijing for eye treatment. He was finally moved by Gouhuan's grandson's enthusiastic persuasion.

Qian's father turned around, looked at Qian Yizhen and said, "Gou Huan, I'll listen to you. I'll go to Beijing to get my eyes treated."

Three days later, driver Xiao Sun drove a business car with Qian Yizhen and Qian's father to Jingfu. The housekeeper Xia Juxiang came forward enthusiastically and said while carrying the luggage:

"Mr. Qian, Uncle Qian, please come in. It takes seven or eight hours to drive from the northern provincial capital to Beijing. You must be tired. I have already cleaned the room. Please come in and take a rest. The food will be ready soon. I will call you to eat later."

Qian Baogui came forward and supported Qian's father while saying, "Grandpa, I will still live in the same room with you, just like in the Chen Mansion."

Yuan Daoqin said: "Grandpa Qian, the architectural styles of the courtyard houses in the Jingfu and Chenfu are similar. You can live in the Chenfu as if you were there. There is no need to be restrained or polite. This is your home."

Qian's father said gratefully: "You are all good people, thank you."

Yuan Daoqin said, "Aunt Yizhen, I asked the teachers at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to contact the best hospital and doctor for cataract surgery in Beijing. I'll go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow. If all indicators are normal, I can have the surgery right away."

Qian Baogui said, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Thousands of cataract patients from all over the country are queuing up for surgery. The surgery is very simple and can be completed on the same day. You can go home on the same day and it doesn't cost much."

After dinner, Qian Baogui accompanied his grandfather back to the house to sleep. The driver Xiao Sun, who had been driving a long-distance car all day, also went back to his room early to rest.

Qian Yizhen, Yuan Daoqin, and Xia Juxiang sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Xia Juxiang said, "Mr. Qian, Daoqin, you two should go back to your room and rest early, because you still have to go to the hospital tomorrow."

Qian Yizhen came to the room prepared for her by Yuan Daoqin and Xia Juxiang, opened her suitcase, changed into casual clothes, took out her own toiletries, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and went to bed.

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang: "Yizhen, are you asleep? How is Daddy feeling? I hope he's not in a stubborn mood."

Qian Yizhen said: "Dad is in a good mood. Accompanied by his grandson, his dog Huan, he went back to the house to rest."

Ming Yuanhui said, "That's good. The elderly and children at home are all fine. Don't worry about accompanying Dad to see the doctor. Don't be too tired. I won't talk anymore. I have to accompany Dad to the hospital tomorrow. Go to bed early."

Early in the morning on June 6, Xia Juxiang and her housekeeper Jin Shan put the prepared breakfast on the table, including boiled eggs, millet porridge, celery and pork buns, vegetarian buns with leek, black fungus and shrimp skin, and a few dishes of pickled vegetables that people in northern provincial capitals love to eat.

After breakfast, Qian's father, Qian Baogui, Yuan Daoqin, and Qian Yizheng got in the car. The driver Xiao Sun started the car and drove to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Doctors and nurses explained:

On the first day, I went through the hospital admission procedures and underwent preoperative examinations, including a routine blood test and an eye examination.

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, the operation was performed.

On the third day, the patient was kept in the hospital for observation and vision and eye examinations.

On the fourth day, after staying in the hospital for 1-2 days for observation after the operation, you can go home to recuperate. Pay attention to any abnormal eye conditions at any time and seek medical attention in time.

Qian's father muttered while lying on the hospital bed: "Gou Huan, didn't you say that I could go home on the same day after the operation? Why did I have to be hospitalized?"

Yuan Daoqin held Qian's father's hand and said, "Grandpa Qian, in large hospitals, doctors use standardized treatments. The situation you mentioned of having surgery and going home on the same day should be in a township hospital. We can't do that. We need standardized treatments to completely cure the disease without any sequelae. You have to listen to the doctor."

Qian Yizhen said, "Dad, now that we are here, we should make the best of it. In the hospital, you must listen to the doctor's instructions to the letter, so that the disease can be cured. Do you understand?"

Qian Baogui said: "Aunt Yizhen, Sister Daoqin, you can go back to Beijing to rest. I will stay with Grandpa in the hospital.

Qian Yizhen handed an envelope of cash to Qian Baogui and said, "Take this money and spend it wherever you need to. Don't think about saving. The most important thing is to eat well, drink well, recuperate and treat your illness.

In college, you should not participate in activities other than studying and fitness. Grandpa being in the hospital is the best excuse. Remember that?"

Qian Baogui took the envelope and said, "Aunt Yizhen, I know, I understand. I am a student now, and I only want to read the books of sages."

Qian Yizhen said: "Okay, then I feel relieved."
