The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 304 I Can Let You Go
The doctor said that drinking and drinking fragments is a precursor to cerebral thrombosis, it seems that Lao Tan should pay attention.

Zhang Li asked Lao Tan to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then had dinner.When Lao Tan was brushing his teeth, he was still thinking about drinking last night, but he only recalled some sporadic images. As for how he got home, he didn't know how he was lying on the bed, and his mind was blank.

Halfway through the toothbrush, I felt a little nauseous. Before I could react, a mouthful of blood went up my throat, and then I spat it out with fishy heat and foam in my mouth.

Blood, seeing the blood reminded me of yesterday, and I knew it was a crime.

He stood there staring blankly at himself in the mirror, bloody foam remained at the corner of his mouth, his face was ugly, and stubble stood on his bluish bald head, like a prisoner who had just come out of prison.

He smiled wryly at himself in the mirror, and the two lumps of flesh at the corners of his face seemed to twitch, moving the corners of his eyes.The corners of his eyes became smaller and smaller, making his usually resolute face look tired like never before.

Wipe off the bloody foam at the corner of the mouth, turn on the faucet to rinse your hands, and wash away the blood in the basin by the way.

Clean your hands, wash your face with water.

Run your hands across your temples, feeling the rubbing sound of hair stubble in your palms.Look carefully, the hair stubble coming out of the two sideburns is all white, and extends beyond the sideburns to the top of the head and the back of the head.

He knew that most of his hair was already gray, but he was bald all the time, and he shaved every day, so he couldn't tell.If he didn't shave his head for a week, people would think he was over fifty.

I'm 44, and I'm 43 years old.

With emotion in his heart, he lowered his head and poured the second handful of water on his face. Just as he was about to continue washing, a violent cough came up, which forced him to bend down and put his hands on the sink. It's hot again--
Subconsciously opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Li put the porridge on the table. Seeing that Lao Tan hadn't come out, she went to the bathroom and walked behind Lao Tan.

She didn't notice anything strange about Old Tan, and thought that Old Tan bent over to help the sink because he was feeling drunk and uncomfortable.

"Have you finished washing? Are you hungry?" She wanted to wash her hands, and then said, "I'll wash my hands, you wait a while."

Then I saw the eye-catching bright red blood in the receiving basin that Lao Tan hadn't had time to wash away.

-

On the first day of the new year, Zhang Li served Lao Tan to drink porridge and dumplings, and then helped him go downstairs to the clinic.

The clinic is open, and there are two infusion patients who have just arrived.One was a girl of thirteen or fourteen, accompanied by her mother.The other is an old man in his sixties, accompanied by his grandson and wife.

Both of them have a cold and have been fighting for three days.

The doctor at the clinic knew Lao Tan, and after listening to Lao Tan's situation, he listened with a stethoscope, and then measured his blood pressure.

"Your blood pressure is too high. The high pressure is 200, and the low pressure is 155. You can't take aztreonam. Let's take steroids to lower blood pressure first." The doctor said.

"Then let's fight." Old Tan said.

"Have you been drinking?" The doctor asked coldly.

"Hmm—" Old Tan nodded awkwardly.

"Didn't I tell you not to drink?"

"It's only a year—"

The doctor shook his head helplessly, and went to get the medicine.

Zhang Li followed and asked the doctor why he vomited blood without aztreonam.The doctor explained that aztreonam constricts blood vessels, and Lao Tan's high blood pressure dilates blood vessels. The two are just the opposite, and the blood pressure can only be lowered first.

"You too, know that he has high blood pressure and tell him to drink alcohol, it's a shame." The doctor said.

"I can't stop—" Zhang Li said.

"He is very dangerous now, his blood pressure is so high, and the blood vessels in his brain will rupture as soon as they say it. If there is a cerebral hemorrhage, it will be too late to regret it."

Zhang Li's heart trembled suddenly. She had experienced the life and death of illness and knew what it was like.

The doctor put the steroids on Lao Tan and turned on the drip speed to the maximum.

"Look at it, it's for reducing intracranial pressure, and it must be finished within half an hour."

Zhang Li nodded.

The doctor brought two more antihypertensive medicines and said to Zhang Li: "Take a cup of hot water and give this medicine to him." After speaking, he looked at the drip bottle hanging, and then at Lao Tan.

At this moment, Lao Tan remembered that he hadn't paid New Year's greetings to others, and immediately said with a smile: "I forgot about New Year's greetings, happy New Year!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!" The doctor saluted back with a smile, and then said, "Quit the alcohol, your blood pressure is too dangerous, and living a few more years is better than anything else."

"Listen? Live a few more years." Zhang Li said aside.

Old Tan smiled, "Yes, live a few more years, quit, quit."

The doctor turned around and walked back, walked a few steps, turned around again, and said, "Let's lower the blood pressure today, and then we'll talk about it—you'd better take the time to go to the medical university for a check-up, and stay in the hospital for a month, so that the blood pressure can drop quickly."

As the saying goes, diseases come in from the mouth and disasters come out from the mouth. Most diseases come from the mouth.For example, smoking is easy to get lung cancer, and not smoking will reduce the chance of getting lung cancer.Alcohol hurts the body. If you drink too much, it is easy to cause alcoholic liver and liver cirrhosis. If you quit, you will get it.

Overeating hurts the stomach, and if you don't get it right, you get stomach cancer. You know it, but you can't control your mouth. You only realize it when you are sick and hospitalized, and most of them are too late.

In fact, people know everything and understand everything, but they just don’t pay attention.Illness does not come at once, it is a long-term accumulation of non-standardization and carelessness. When the disease breaks out, I start to blame myself and regret it, and even pay for my life.

Half an hour later, Lao Tan's high pressure dropped to 165 and his low pressure was 110. He left the clinic under the doctor's instructions.

Back home, Lao Tan sat on the sofa, and Zhang Li made tea and brought it over.

"Old Tan, don't drink this wine," Zhang Li said.

"Well, stop drinking." Old Tan said.

"Health matters. If you are not in good health, it is useless to talk about anything. How much money you earn is useless. It is all prepared for the hospital." Zhang Li said.

"That's not—"

Zhang Li looked at Lao Tan, saw that he was very tired, and asked, "Are you tired? When you are tired, go back to the room and lie down."

Lao Tan is indeed a little tired, mainly because of yesterday's drinking, and he is lacking energy.Drinking a lot of wine can catch up with a serious illness, and it takes several days to recover.

"A little——" Lao Tan said a little embarrassedly: "Come to my house and I will lie down—not good—"

Zhang Li gave him a white look, and said: "Don't pretend to be polite, you're a fool, there's no such thing as talking, you lie down, I'll watch TV."

Old Tan smiled, got up and went back to the bedroom.

Zhang Li brought the tea into the bedroom and put it on the bedside table. Seeing that Lao Tan was lying down without taking off his clothes, she said very rudely: "What's wrong? Pretending to be beautiful? Are you afraid I'll see it? I haven't seen any parts on your body. Now Pretending to be secretive."

Old Tan blushed when he was told, he found a step for himself and said, "I'm afraid you will rape me."

"You still use rape with your body? I'm afraid you'll get tired." Zhang Li laughed out loud after speaking.

The explicit words immediately made the atmosphere in the room ambiguous, and everyone felt a little hot, and there was some commotion in their bodies.

Embarrassingly ambiguous.

"You also lie down for a while—" Old Tan said slightly.

Zhang Li looked at him with a small flame in her eyes.

The little flame quickly disappeared, replaced by the disappointment that appeared in the hope.

"You think I don't want to? Mainly this is your house, I feel awkward, I always feel like someone is watching - if my family could let you go, I would have slept with my arms around me.

You lie down, I'll go around the store, and I'll be back at three or four o'clock. "

After Zhang Li finished speaking, she blushed and kissed Lao Tan on the cheek, then walked out of the bedroom.
