In Zhou Chen's office, a woman in her thirties was holding her child and asked Zhou Chen nervously.
This woman is Zhao Yingnan's cousin. In addition to her, Zhao Yingnan is also accompanying her.
Zhou Chen looked at the test sheets in his hand. These were the test results that Zhao Yingnan's cousin had done on the child before, and Zhou Chen did not let her spend money to do it again.
"Judging from the child's test results, it should be caused by long-term malnutrition. Does he not like to drink water or eat vegetables and fruits?"
"Yes, our Doudou doesn't eat vegetables at all. Even if they are put in the rice, he can pick them out. He only eats apples and bananas as fruits and drinks very little water. He actually likes to eat meat."
"This is a typical nutritional imbalance, coupled with indigestion, which leads to the child's stunted growth. In fact, this is not a big problem. The key is the severe anemia caused by Doudou's long-term malnutrition. This is the most serious problem.
Problem. If you want to cure the problem, in addition to taking medicine, you also need long-term nutritional supplements. You can’t just follow the child and just stop eating if he doesn’t want to. Over time, it will become more and more serious..."
Picky eating, malnutrition, and indigestion are actually very common symptoms in children, and they are not serious problems.
But Doudou has been like this for a long time, resulting in severe anemia. This is not a small problem. If it cannot be treated in time, the consequences will be terrible.
But Zhou Chen didn't speak too harshly, but explained to her in a gentle tone.
Because she was Zhao Yingnan's cousin, Zhou Chen spent a long time introducing and explaining to her in detail, and then prescribed some medicine and told her how to eat and how to supplement the child's nutrition.
After dealing with Doudou's matter, Zhou Chen started his daily work. Now he is still in the inpatient department, but he will attend the outpatient clinic two days a week.
One day is for general pediatrics and the other day is for critical care pediatric outpatient clinic. These two days are also the busiest days for him in a week.
"My wife called..."
Zhou Chen heard the ringtone and took the phone. Now we have entered the era of smartphones, and Apple is at the height of its popularity.
The Apple in Zhou Chen's hand was bought for him by Zhao Yingnan, otherwise according to his personality, he would definitely buy a domestic mobile phone.
"Hi, wife."
"Husband, Xin Yi is gone."
Although Zhou Chen's expression was frozen, the news was really too sudden. It had only been less than half a month since he last talked to Zhao Yingnan. How could it happen so quickly?
After returning home in the evening, Zhou Chen learned the specific situation from Zhao Yingnan.
Xin Yi passed away today. According to Yang Yue, Xin Yi left with a smile, but in fact, he left full of regrets.
Because Xin Yi knew that he was not going to die soon, so he wanted to go home and stay at home.
In fact, they had planned to come back, but before they had time, he could no longer hold on and passed away in the distant United States.
"Let Yang Yue bring Xin Yi's ashes back."
Since you can't go home alive, you can only die and return to your roots.
When many people are alive, they think that they will die when they die, and it doesn't matter where they die. But when they actually face death, they will abandon their previous ideas. Most people want to return to their roots.
Xin Yi finally came back, but what came back was just an urn. Zhou Chen, Zhao Yingnan and others took leave specifically and went to Xin Yi's hometown to attend the funeral.
Several classmates who were still in Yanjing drove a commercial vehicle and went there together, while many other classmates also put down their work and went to Xinyi's hometown.
In the end, a total of fourteen of the twenty or so classmates came to see Xin Yi off.
After the wedding, the classmates who had been separated for many years had a meal together. It was really rare to see each other again after more than ten years after graduation, so everyone cherished this short time.
Zhou Chen, Hou Pu and other classmates at Renhe Hospital naturally know each other's situation very well, but they don't know much about other people's situations because they haven't been in contact for many years.
Yang Yue is now working in the financial investment industry in the United States, and her career development is pretty good, but it can be seen that Xin Yi's death has dealt a great blow to her. She did not communicate too much with everyone, even when eating,
It's silent.
Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong are also here this time. These two people can be said to be legends in the class.
After that incident happened, the two did not break up completely, but continued to be entangled for several years. Finally, Qiu Shui fell out with her mother and married Xiao Hong.
Zhou Chen and the others attended the wedding at that time, and they seemed very happy at that time.
However, this marriage did not last long. The two divorced three years later. Because they had no children, the two divorced amicably.
Now after so many years, Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong have not remarried, and they are still single. When they meet again after many years, their mentality has also changed.
Judging from Zhou Chen's observation, these two people actually still have each other in their hearts, but so many years of entanglement have made them both physically and mentally exhausted and they dare not get back together easily.
In fact, Zhou Chen and Qiu Shui could see each other often when they were in Yanjing. He saw the changes in Qiu Shui over the years.
From a medical student to a mature businessman, he experienced not only emotional maturity, but also maturity in all aspects.
Xiao Hong is not as lively as she was when she was young, and I don’t know what she has experienced in these years. She looks more haggard. Although she is still smiling when she is with everyone, if you look closely, you will find that her smile is really
It's a forced smile.
Needless to say, Eucommia ulmoides and Gu Xiaoman were very loving and gave birth to a daughter, who was only two years younger than Zhou Chen's eldest son.
Gu Ming also got married, but he did not stay in China, but returned to the United States.
…………
Ten years later, another classmate from the class of '92 passed away. Zhou Chen still went to the funeral. This time, there were only three classmates who went to the funeral.
And Zhou Chen also completed the systematic tasks in these ten years and became a great doctor.
But this time he didn't leave after completing the mission. He planned to stay in this world until the end. He would choose to leave only when he was dead or had sent away important people.
In the past ten years, Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong reunited again. This time, the two of them did not stage another tragedy, and Xiao Hong, regardless of his advanced age, desperately gave birth to a son for Qiu Shui.
After having a son, Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong naturally became more mature and stable. They also learned how to be humble and compromise with each other, and they lived a very good life.
Twenty years later, Zhou Chen is nearly sixty years old. Neither he nor Zhao Yingnan have retired yet and are still at Renhe Hospital. However, at this time, they have both become academicians and are the doctors with the most say in Renhe Hospital.
The eldest son was already married and gave birth to a granddaughter. Both Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping were in their eighties. Their health was deteriorating day by day, but they were still able to take care of their great-granddaughter occasionally and lived a happy and contented old life.
Thirty years later, Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping passed away one after another, and Zhou Chen's youngest son also got married. The two sons gave birth to four grandchildren in total.
In these ten years, several of Zhou Chen's classmates passed away one after another, including two close friends, Huang Qi and Wu Ruixiang.
Forty years later, more classmates and friends passed away, including Qiu Shui, Xiao Hong, Magnolia officinalis, You Yue, and Eucommia ulmoides. In the end, there were only a few left.
Fifty years later, Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan were both nearly ninety years old and considered very old. Zhou Chen's health was still good, but Zhao Yingnan's health was gradually failing.
A year later, Zhao Yingnan still had not passed the 90-year-old mark. Before celebrating his birthday, he was already seriously ill.
Zhou Chen is sitting in front of the hospital bed. At this moment, his hair is graying, his skin is loose, and he looks very old.
As for Zhao Yingnan, who was lying on the hospital bed, he was so thin that he was only skin and bones. His air intake was less and his air was out more. He relied on oxygen bottles to survive.
"Old man, it seems I have to leave first."
Zhao Yingnan was too tired to even say a word, but Zhou Chen said gently: "It's okay, I will stay with you."
Having lived to the age of ninety and completed his mission, Zhou Chen has no regrets in this life. Being able to leave with his lover can be said to be the happiest thing.
As for future generations, they have their destiny, and everything he left behind is enough for them to live for dozens of lifetimes, so they don't need to worry about it anymore.
Zhao Yingnan smiled slightly when she heard Zhou Chen's words. She couldn't hold on anymore and slowly closed her eyes, but her hand was still holding Zhou Chen's hand tightly.
Zhou Chen gently stroked Zhao Yingnan's forehead, lay beside her bed, and slowly closed his eyes.
"In this life, I have lived a fulfilling and happy life. As a son, I have fulfilled my filial duty, as a husband, I have shouldered responsibilities, and as a father, I have taught my children well. But why do I still feel a little regretful?"
Zhou Chen communicated with the system and chose to leave.
