under the foggy mountain

Chapter 1

In mid-September, after a few days of continuous northerly winds, it rained heavily, and the originally muggy weather became cool and pleasant.After lunch that day, mother Tao Lanying went into the wing room to take a nap. Tang Qinglian put away the dishes on the table, washed them in the pot, picked up a rag to clean up the table and the stove, and felt a little tired, so she went to the room to take a nap. As soon as she lay down, Su Tie came in excitedly with a fashionable handbag in her hand, walked to the bedside and handed it to her, she reached out to pick it up, but couldn't lift her hand no matter what.Seeing that she didn't answer, Su Tie's smile disappeared, replaced by a look of disgust, and turned around to leave. Tang Qinglian was in a hurry, and yelled, woke up, it turned out that she was dreaming.

Tang Qinglian didn't feel sleepy at all, lying motionless on the bed, the smiling cycads in the dream just now, and the disgusted cycads appeared alternately in her mind.Su Tie told her that the bureau arranged for him to study in BJ for half a month. According to the time, he should have returned to the county yesterday. Why is there no news?Qinglian suddenly felt panicked, turned over, and went to He Yihai's house next door, intending to call Su Tie.

He Yihai's guest Yuan Feng was sitting in the main room watching TV, Tang Qinglian smiled and said softly, "Auntie, let me make a phone call." Yuan Feng stared at the TV without making a sound, pointing to the phone.Tang Qinglian unplugged Su Tie's pager, put down the phone, waited for a while, the phone didn't ring, she called several times, but the phone still didn't ring, she thought Su Tie wouldn't call back, so she said to Yuan Feng: "One Auntie, I'm home."

Yuan Feng turned her head and said, "Qingqing, did you get through the phone?" Qinglian smiled and remained silent.Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Call Su Tie?" Seeing that Tang Qinglian was still silent, she said, "This Cycas doesn't answer the phone, what are you doing?" Tang Qinglian said, "Maybe you didn't receive the amplifier."

Yuan Feng asked: "Qingqing, I haven't seen Su Tie for a long time, is he very busy?" Tang Qinglian said: "The bureau sent him to study in BJ." Yuan Feng laughed: "No wonder I haven't seen him in the past few months He is also at ease, not afraid that such a beautiful woman will be robbed!" Tang Qinglian was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Yuan Feng stared into Tang Qinglian's eyes and said with a smile, "Are you and Su Tie getting married soon?" Tang Qinglian blushed, and hurriedly avoided Yuan Feng's gaze and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about! It's nothing!"

Yuan Feng said: "Haha, Qingqing, are you telling lies in front of my aunt? Xuxia told me everything." He went to the Provincial Normal University and was assigned to teach in No. [-] Middle School in the county after graduation.

Tang Qinglian changed the subject and asked, "Where is Xuxia? She hasn't been home recently, has she? I saw her before the summer vacation, and I haven't seen her for more than two months." Tang Qinglian knew that He Xuxia went to the provincial capital to participate in an event after the summer vacation. In the training class, I traveled to the United States in mid-August and didn't come back until the start of school.

"I'm back! I came home two days ago. She said she brought you a handbag from the United States, and she wants to hand it over to you." Yuan Feng spoke loudly and quickly like setting off firecrackers, "Did she go home?" I left after a while, this ghost girl, I don’t know what she’s busy with! She’s 25 or [-] years old, and she doesn’t even have a boyfriend! Unlike Qingqing, you have a bunch of people chasing you! You and Cycad You are about to get married, and my nephew, Wuhua, is still wholeheartedly waiting for you."

Tang Qinglian blushed even more, lowered her head and said eagerly: "Oh my aunt! Don't talk about it! This is really a matter of no shadow! First aunt, I'm in trouble. I'm leaving and I have to go to work." While walking towards the door, he saw a motorcycle parked in the main room, and asked: "Xuhui is at home?" Xuhui is Yuan Feng's son, Yuan Feng said: "Xuhui didn't come back, your first uncle is at home, taking a nap .”

When Tang Qinglian returned home, she saw Tao Lanying sitting against the wall in the main room, with her head turned to one side and her eyes closed.She thought her mother was resting and walked over gently.Before reaching her side, Tao Lanying opened her eyes and said weakly, "Qingqing, I don't feel well."

Tang Qinglian took a closer look, and saw that her mother's face was grayish with black, she looked very haggard, and she was not angry at all. She was shocked. Although her mother had been ill for many years, she had never seen her like this.Tang Qinglian immediately ran to He Yihai's house and asked Yuan Feng to wake up He Yihai.He Yihai immediately sent Tang Qinglian and Tao Lanying to Suji Clinic in Huangqiao Town.

Clinic doctor Su Yunxiang—the locals called him Doctor Ximan—carefully auscultated Tao Lanying's pulse, and asked some questions about daily life and diet, and his expression slowly became serious.

Tang Qinglian stood aside and watched.My mother suffered from this illness when she was in the third year of junior high school. Since then, whenever her mother is sick, she will follow her mother to see a doctor in Suji Clinic.Every time after taking her mother's pulse and auscultation, Su Yunxiang would take out the prescription pad from the drawer, quickly write down a few medicines, and hand it to her. She would go to the pharmacy to pay for the medicine, and then go home with her mother.After the mother took the medicine, her illness gradually recovered, but after a while, the mother's illness would recur again, and she would come to Su Yunxiang's to see a doctor with her mother again.

Su Yunxiang didn't take out the prescription pad as usual, stood up, and said to Tang Qinglian: "Come out." In the next lounge, Su Yunxiang said: "Qingqing, your mother's illness is different this time, you have to go to the County People's Hospital immediately , Let your mother do a comprehensive examination, and after clarifying the condition, treat the symptoms."

Seeing Su Yunxiang's serious expression, Tang Qinglian didn't speak calmly like usual, so she hurriedly asked, "Doctor Su, is my mother's illness serious?"

Su Yunxiang didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Tang Qinglian, and said slowly: "Qingqing, do you still remember what I told you before?"

Tang Qinglian asked: "What are you talking about?"

Su Yunxiang said: "I said, if your mother's illness is not well controlled, it may develop into nephrotic syndrome."

Tang Qinglian remembered that Dr. Su had told her that her mother's disease was chronic kidney disease, which was difficult to cure. If it was treated properly and maintained well, it would be very good if it could be maintained.If it can't be maintained, it will probably develop into nephrotic syndrome. He explained to her in detail what "nephrotic syndrome" is, and reminded her to go to the county people's hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible, and then treat the symptoms accordingly.After hearing this, Tang Qinglian repeatedly mentioned to her mother to see a doctor in the People's Hospital, but her mother declined all of them.

Tang Qinglian became anxious and asked, "My mother has nephrotic syndrome?"

Su Yunxiang said: "It's not sure yet. But your mother's illness is indeed not like before, so don't delay, go to the County People's Hospital for an examination as soon as possible."

Tang Qinglian was so anxious that she burst into tears, Su Yunxiang said softly: "Qingqing, don't worry, even if your mother's illness is nephrotic syndrome, there is a special treatment for this disease, as long as the symptoms are treated, your mother will get better ".Tang Qinglian raised her head to look at Su Yunxiang, doctor, seeing that Su Yunxiang's expression was as calm as usual, she felt relieved.She looked at the clock on the wall of the clinic. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. She thanked Su Yunxiang and went into the consulting room and told Tao Lanying that she was going to the People's Hospital. Tao Lanying was skeptical when Fangzi took the medicine.Tang Qinglian and Su Yunxiang persuaded her for a while before Tao Lanying agreed to go to the County People's Hospital.Tang Qinglian helped her mother stand up, and was about to take a bus to the county seat at the opposite station.

Before going out, Luo Yuanxiu, Su Yunxiang's guest, came in, saw Tao Lanying's mother and daughter, and greeted her from a distance: "Sister Lanying, come to see a doctor? Is it okay?" After speaking, he walked quickly to Tao Lanying, stretched out his hand to gently support Tao Lanying Over his shoulder, he looked at Tao Lanying with concern. Before Tao Lanying could speak, he turned his face and asked Tang Qinglian: "Have you finished reading? Does it matter?"

Tang Qinglian was a little nervous when she saw Luo Yuanxiu, her heart beat faster, and her whole body was tense. Seeing Luo Yuanxiu looking at her kindly and asking, she became even more nervous. She lowered her head, avoiding Luo Yuanxiu's eyes, and stammered in a low voice. : "Look...read it, just watched...." Tao Lanying said softly: "Aunt Ximan, I'm an old man, Mr. Ximan just watched it, don't worry."

After hearing this, Luo Yuanxiu put his hand off Tao Lanying's shoulder and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good."

Tang Qinglian calmed down and said in a low voice, "Dr. Su just said that we should go to the People's Hospital for an examination, and we are going to take a ride."

Luo Yuanxiu heard this, and quickly said: "That's right, then you guys go!"

Tang Qinglian lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ximan." Then she helped Tao Lanying walk out slowly.
