“Boss, don’t tell me you’ve also encountered patients with foreign objects in their respiratory tract in Haicheng?” When they walked out, Su Yun said the words that Zheng Ren would usually say.
“Uh … It doesn’t matter where I saw it. It’s fine as long as the problem is solved. He has a wealth of clinical experience, you know that. ” Zheng Ren said.
He changed his clothes and walked out of the icu. The owner of the barbeque restaurant was standing outside. He clenched his fists tightly and pressed his forehead against the glass. As he breathed, the White mist spread on the glass, making his shadow a lot more mottled.
“Xu Shuzhen’s family.” The chief resident of icu shouted.
“Doctor!” When the owner of the barbeque shop heard someone calling the old lady’s name, he immediately walked over with a nervous expression.
“The patient’s condition looks better now. The diagnosis is that it’s a foreign object in the airway. Here, this is the medicine in the Qi path. ” The icu chief resident placed a small box in front of the barbeque shop owner.
“Uh …” He was stunned.
“The patient took the baixintong orally, and it went into his windpipe. The other drugs were probably in there as well, but they dissolved in the phlegm. “
“What about this?”
“This is a skeletal type of drug. What’s left behind is the skeleton, which blocks part of the airway, causing the pressure in the airway to increase.” The chief resident of icu explained.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun changed their clothes and walked out. The owner of the barbeque shop was a little confused. He didn’t know what a bone-type medicine was, but he knew that the doctor told him that there was a foreign object in his Qi passage.
“The situation seems to be stable for now. If everything goes well, I can transfer her out tomorrow or the day after.” The chief resident of icu said,”in the future, be careful when you feed medicine to the patients.”
“Mm! Yes!” The owner of the barbeque restaurant nodded repeatedly.
“I’m going back. I can find him with the phone number left at home, right? If there’s anything, I’ll call you. Keep in touch. ” The icu chief resident said his goodbyes to Zheng Ren and Su Yun before he turned around and left.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant had not completely reacted to the situation. He watched the chief resident of the icu leave in a daze and forgot to express his gratitude. This was good news for him. It was good that he was fine.
“Did you send Yiren a message?” Su Yun asked.
“They’re done eating, Yiren’s taking Blackie for a walk. ” Zheng Ren said.
“The public security is much better. If this was twenty years ago, in the middle of the night … No, I have Blackie with me. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Su Yun chuckled.
“You two … Did you just eat in my restaurant?” The owner of the barbeque restaurant looked at Zheng Ren and Su Yun in surprise.
Since the old lady was fine, he had other thoughts and noticed Zheng Ren and Su Yun’s presence.
“Yes, you didn’t hear me when I called you in the shop.” Su Yun replied,”the old lady is fine. She was just too careless when she was feeding her medicine.”
The owner of the barbeque restaurant was stunned for a moment. He was a little angry. He clenched his fists and said,”damn it, how many times have I told the nanny to be careful, be careful!”
“Don’t be angry,” Su Yun felt that something was wrong and quickly pulled the owner of the barbeque shop over.””If you stay in bed for a long time, your swallowing function will be limited. It’s not necessarily the nanny’s fault. Calm down and don’t get yourself into trouble. “
“But …” The owner of the barbecue shop was still unconvinced and wanted to say something, but Su Yun walked over and hit his right arm with her right shoulder.”Take a break, don’t worry.” Do you want to smoke?”
“I’ll smoke. ” The owner of the barbecue shop said in a daze,”it’s smoked and burned all day long. It’s much more poisonous than tobacco. Don’t be afraid.”
“Heh, you’re quite concerned about your health.” Su Yun patted the boss’s shoulder and said,””Go down and have a smoke. The foreign object in the old lady’s trachea has been removed, and she looks fine for now. You don’t have to stay here. Keep the phone open, I’ll call you first if there’s anything. “
“Oh.”
The three of them went downstairs. Su Yun asked,”how many years has the old lady been in bed?”
“Five years.” The owner of the barbeque restaurant sighed.
After that bout of energy, he was more depressed and helpless, and he didn’t have the momentum to get even with someone.
“It’s not easy,” Su Yun consoled her gently,”I’ve met a few patients, but very few of them could stay at home for more than three years.”
“I have no choice.” The owner of the barbeque shop sighed.”I’ve been working in the capital for almost ten years. I wasn’t around when my old man passed away. Later, the old lady fell sick, and the family had to maintain her …”
The barbeque shop owner’s tone became a little dejected when he talked about these family affairs, birth, old age, illness, and death. Everyone was involved in daily life, including birth, aging, sickness, and death, regardless of whether they had money or not.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun did not say a word. Comforting him at this time was more like standing up and talking without pain. It was completely meaningless.
When they reached the smoking room downstairs, Su Yun took out a cigarette and handed one to the owner of the barbecue shop.
“And then you brought the old lady here from your hometown? You must be under a lot of pressure. “
“Yes.” The owner of the barbeque shop took a puff of his cigarette and nodded.”The expenses in the capital are high, but the earnings are high. Even though there won’t be much left after paying taxes for rent, storefronts, and employees, it’s still better than going home and farming. “
“Besides, my hometown is too poor. I can’t accept the outside world.”
“That’s true. ” Su Yun laughed.”You must have earned quite a bit in the imperial capital, right? why does it sound like you’re short on money?”
“I do earn quite a bit, but I have to spend a lot.” The owner of the barbecue shop sighed.”Especially since I have to take care of the old lady. It costs tens of Yuan to take medicine every day. We still have to set up a stall, so we can only hire people. You have to flip over, kowtow, cough, and so on every day. It’s hard to find a nanny willing to do it even for 6000 a month. “
“That’s true, there are still children. “
“The little brat is not bad. He got a scholarship.” The owner of the barbeque shop finally showed a relieved smile.”Otherwise, our family would have collapsed a long time ago.”
But the smile disappeared in a flash, and the dark clouds of worry shrouded him again.
“Don’t be like this, we still have to get by, don’t we?” Su Yun said.
“Sigh, don’t mention it.” The owner of the barbecue restaurant said,”the price of pork has increased recently. I don’t think our restaurant will be open for long.”
“You’re also raising the price. You’re all old customers. I can understand.”
“Raise the price … I’ll die if I raise the price, and I’ll die if I don’t raise the price. I’m so worried every day that my hair is turning white.”
Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren. His hair was half white, and he looked like an old doctor.
However, both he and Zheng Ren were the kind of people who didn’t know how expensive food was. They had only seen the price increase in pork on the news, and they had no idea what it meant.
“There’s more room for negotiation in a big shop, but in a small shop like ours … Do you think everyone can raise the price of a pork kebab to two Yuan?” The owner of the barbecue shop said,”if we don’t raise the price, we can only tamper with the meat quality, size, and quantity. I’ve been in this business for almost ten years, and I’ve accumulated a lot of old customers. I really can’t do this. “
