The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 394
At this time, Cao Jiadong had finished the treatment and bandages, and was lying on the hospital bed enduring the pain after the anesthesia wore off, while recalling the scene of the car accident, and feeling scared for the rest of his life.

The ring finger and the little finger of his left hand were missing, which was the best result when he escaped a fatal collision when he jumped out, and his left hand was run over by a wheel.If he didn't rush out desperately, he might be lying in the morgue now.

He withdrew his eyes from looking at nothingness to his left hand, and lamented in his heart: It's over, disabled——

What this honest and honest man was thinking about was not the hand with the broken fingers, but what happened after he became disabled.

He was a little sad, and sorrow gave rise to wild thoughts.

The first thing he thought about was that he was disabled now, would Zhou Xiaomei not want him?
What if I really don't want it?He asked himself, and as he asked the question, a picture of leading Xiaojun and Xiaoying out of Zhou's house appeared in front of him——
He is not afraid of going back to the old days, he just came here, there is nothing to be afraid of.But he couldn't bear Zhou Xiaomei, the days with her were his happiest days, he loved Zhou Xiaomei deeply, he could even give his life——
Thinking of this made my heart ache so much, but I forgot about the pain in my fingers——
She is not that kind of person, how can you think of her like that?He blamed himself and blamed himself for his cranky thinking, and firmly believed in his wife's character.

It must be uncomfortable for her to see me like this after a while, so she has to bear with it.he said to himself.

Now he longs to see Zhou Xiaomei, but is also afraid of seeing him.
Zhou Xiaomei drove all the way to the hospital, got out of the car without an umbrella, rushed into the lobby against the rain, then hurried up to the second floor, ran to the door of the ward, but stopped abruptly.

She didn't know how injured Cao Jiadong was. The caller was the traffic policeman who took Cao Jiadong to the hospital. He only said that Cao Jiadong had a car accident and was being rescued in the attached hospital. Yes, sad and bewildered.

When she came to the attached courtyard, she had to pass the intersection where the car accident occurred. When passing by, Zhou Xiaomei saw through the car window someone standing on the sidewalk in the rain. She glanced subconsciously and saw the person lying on the ground who died on the spot.

At that time, her head buzzed, her hands could barely hold the steering wheel, and her heart was suspended——
The feeling of knowing that a loved one was in a car accident but not knowing what happened is really anxious and uncomfortable, especially when I saw the dead person lying on the ground, I was even more anxious and confused.

At this time, people are thinking in a bad direction and praying in a good direction.

She drove the car, feeling very slow, but actually very fast, which can be described as galloping like crazy.The water splashed by the wheels splashed to both sides, and a long mist rose from the rear of the car. The cars behind could only vaguely see the red light from the taillights——
She shouted and prayed in her heart: Jiadong, please don't have anything to do, don't——

God, bless him for nothing, for nothing—
Drive all the way, run all the way, shout all the way, pray all the way.

Finally came outside the ward, in front of the door.

No matter how eagerly she wants to see her husband, but at this time she has to stabilize herself and force herself to be calm, because the ward she is about to enter has unknown and even terrifying consequences waiting for her, and she needs to face it rationally .

A minute later, Zhou Xiaomei calmed down and pushed open the door of the ward, and saw Cao Jiadong's bandaged left hand at a glance, her heart tightened for a while.

Cao Jiadong looked at the door when he heard the sound of the door, and saw his wife.

He opened his mouth dryly like a child who has done something wrong and wants to admit his mistake, but he didn't say a word, but first put out a smiling face to reassure his wife, but in the end, his fingers connected to his heart, the pain was unbearable, and his mouth became wry smile.

Seeing her husband smiling wryly while enduring the pain, Zhou Xiaomei almost burst into tears.

She didn't speak, and when she walked to the bedside, she patted up, down, left, and right carefully, and looked at Cao Jiadong's whole body. After confirming that it was only a broken finger and no other injuries, her heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.

"Did you hurt other places?" She still asked anxiously, her voice trembling, lest her husband say something bad.

"No."

Zhou Xiaomei couldn't bear it anymore, tears streaming down her eyes.

Cao Jiadong panicked, and hurriedly said, "Why are you crying, I'm fine, I'm fine, isn't this all right?"

"Scared me to death, woo woo—scared me to death—"

At this time, Zhou Xiaomei lost the semblance of a president. After experiencing the high tension brought about by excessive fright, she saw her husband lying on the bed alive, but two fingers were missing, not—— Soft as a tendon.

She wept with joy as if she was wronged like a little daughter-in-law.

After crying, with tears hanging on his cheeks, he asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit, the anesthetic has worn off." Cao Jiadong said, trying to make himself look relaxed.

"I'm going to ask the doctor for two painkillers." Zhou Xiaomei wiped away the tears from her cheeks and turned to leave.

"No, it doesn't hurt that much." Cao Jiadong called to stop his wife.

Zhou Xiaomei turned to look at her husband.

Cao Jiadong wanted to get up, Zhou Xiaomei went to support his upper body, and he sat up with his right hand.After sitting up, he raised his injured left hand to his wife, and said with some embarrassment: "There are three fingers left—a disabled person."

"Why do you think about that? As long as people are fine—" Zhou Xiaomei smiled, and then said: "What's wrong with the three fingers? The same!"

"It's hard work, it can't be the same as before——"

"No more work." Zhou Xiaomei looked at him and said, "From now on, you don't have to do any work, just take care of the three little ancestors at home, and when they go to college, they will finish their work."

"That's okay, I have to go to work after I'm done, I can't make you tired alone." Cao Jiadong said.

"Listen to me. From now on, you will stay at home to take care of the children and clean up the house. You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll do it. Besides, I don't worry if you're at home." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Don't you think I'm disabled?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xiaomei glared at her husband dissatisfied, "What disability? What kind of disability do you call it? Aren't you missing two fingers? What's wrong? You're not my husband anymore, and I'm not your wife anymore? In the future Don't say that, listen."

"Yeah." Cao Jiadong nodded like a child and smirked.

"Stupid-"

When school was over in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaomei went to the school to pick up the three children. In the car, she told them about her father's car accident and told them not to worry, everything was fine.

Xiaoying cried when she saw her father, and Xiaojun also felt uncomfortable, but after all, she was older, so she didn't cry, and Xiaolong's eyes turned red.

Zhou Xiaomei said to the three children: "I asked the doctor, and they said that Dad can go home and take care of him, as long as he comes to change his medicine on time. Do you think it's better for Dad to go home or stay in the hospital?"

Xiaoying cried and said, "I want Dad to come home."

"Me too." Xiaolong said.

Zhou Xiaomei looked at Xiaojun, and Xiaojun said, "Go home and raise him. Although you don't need to pay for hospitalization here, you have to take care of both sides of your mother. If you are too busy, it is better to stay at home."

"Okay, let's go home and raise them." Zhou Xiaomei said.

This is also what Cao Jiadong meant.

Although it was a car accident, someone was responsible for medical expenses, hospitalization expenses, lost wages, food expenses, etc., but he and Zhou Xiaomei were not the ones who blackmailed people, not to mention that the female driver who caused the accident was also seriously injured and was being rescued.

The father and mother discussed it and decided to go home to raise them. Like Xiaojun said, Zhou Xiaomei can take care of her without running between the hospital and the house.As for the follow-up compensation, don't worry about it, there are police.

"Mom, do grandpa and grandma know that Dad was in a car accident?" Xiaoying asked.

"I don't know, mom didn't tell them." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Let's not tell them, so as not to worry them." Xiaoying said sensible.
