The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 457 Re-treatment
Old Tan's head is now said to be blank, but it is not blank, it is gray and foggy.

There was a flash of light in it, and in the light he saw the mother, and the son.

The faces of mother and son flash alternately, blurry at first, then gradually clear.

He saw his mother, gray hair, gray eyes, wrinkled face—
He saw his mother's hands, rough, dry, veined——
His mother stroked his head with her hand, and he fell into his mother's arms and called, "Mom—"

The picture changed, and he saw his son smiling at him.That was my son when he was just in elementary school. The son held the key in his hand and said to him, "Dad, look, this is the key to our house. It's from a building. Our family lives in a building—"

Then there was another gray mist in his head, and he heard a voice, "Divorce!"

Then another voice "You're cancer—"

I am cancer?I have cancer?I'm dying?
The self in his head asked, "Do I really have cancer?"

Then he felt very uncomfortable and asked himself: Why does my heart hurt so much?Why is my chest so stuffy?Why is my throat so hot?
"Wow--"

With a mouthful of blood gushing out, Lao Tan felt his chest brighten up and his head brighten up.

Thank goodness he sobered himself!
His sobriety scared Wang Shulan to tears when she just entered the ward.

As soon as Wang Shulan entered the room and put the kettle away, when she turned around to look at him, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, all over the floor.

He looked at Wang Shulan and smiled, her mouth was bloody and her teeth were red, like a man-eating ghost.

"Old Tan, what's the matter with you? Don't scare me, what's the matter?" Wang Shulan cried while shaking Lao Tan desperately with tears in her eyes.

"I am fine."

Old Tan stopped Wang Shulan.

"Why are you vomiting blood again? I'll call the doctor."

Wang Shulan turned to leave, but was stopped by Lao Tan.

"Don't shout, I'm fine." Afraid that Wang Shulan wouldn't believe him, he said again: "I'm really fine." Then he took a breath, looked very tired, and said softly: "Wipe the blood on the ground for me, I'm sleeping In a while, we'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

After speaking, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly.

A day later, under Lao Tan's insistence, Wang Shulan was discharged from the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, Wang Shulan took Lao Tan to the old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor took Lao Tan's pulse and looked at his complexion, which looked very dignified.

"Why is it so serious?" the old doctor asked.

Wang Shulan explained the process of chemotherapy and the ins and outs of the bronchiectasis in detail, and the old Chinese doctor became thoughtful after hearing this.

Seeing the old Chinese doctor meditating there silently, Wang Shulan was very nervous, and she was pumping water from fifteen buckets in her heart—he was up and down, and even gasping for breath, she lowered her voice.

Old Tan was very calm, without waves, nothing but a bad complexion.Deficiency is certain, one is the side effects of chemotherapy, and the other is bronchiectasis, and bronchiectasis also affects the stomach in turn—the condition is aggravated.

This is the same as having both fish and bear's paw, treating the stomach affects the lungs, and treating the lungs delays the stomach.

After a while, the old Chinese doctor spoke up, and said with a firm mind: "Continue to take Chinese medicine. I will prescribe it for you for a month, and you will have a reexamination after one month. Remember not to go to the hospital, come directly to me."

Then the old Chinese doctor took a look at Wang Shulan and said, "I saw the mushroom you took and ate it. It's very good. But this mushroom can only be eaten where you are staying, and you need to use the water there.

Listen to me, and go there to raise them.Mushrooms are often eaten. Although they cannot cure cancer, they definitely have a nourishing effect on the gastrointestinal tract, which is better than taking medicine. "

Then he turned his head and said to Lao Tan: "As the saying goes, one-third of the illness is seven-point maintenance, and the illness depends entirely on maintenance. Look at your complexion today, are you stressed? Think about everything, don't be stressed.

Let me tell you, no matter what happens, the body is not as important. If the body is gone, the person will be gone, and it is useless to think about it.Always remember that as long as a person is alive, he is king, and the rest is useless.

If you want to be filial to your parents, can you do it if you don’t live?If you want to fight for your children, can you do it if you don't live?To put it bluntly, if you want to embezzle, commit crimes, or sleep with women, can you do it if you don’t live?
Will not work.Now you have to think about it, think about yourself, and think about how to fix your body and get rid of cancer.Always remember one sentence: As long as people are there, everything is available. "

What the old Chinese doctor said is true and enlightening.

Returning to Wang Shulan's home from the old Chinese medicine clinic, Lao Tan said to Wang Shulan seriously: "I originally planned to return to the provincial capital after chemotherapy to take my son back to his hometown for the New Year, but now I can't go back. My mother and I are sick. Sister and the others got angry when they saw it, and they couldn't help but tell it when they asked, and they could tell they were lying."

Wang Shulan said: "I was just about to tell you about this. It is important to treat the disease. Tomorrow I will go to the clinic to get the medicine, and then I will go back to Beauty Valley."

Old Tan said: "I also figured it out. The place is quiet, no one disturbs you, and it is suitable for recuperation." Then he continued: "It's almost Chinese New Year, and you have a lot of things to do. I can't drag you down all the time. I'll go back by myself."

Wang Shulan was anxious at the time, "What are you talking about? Can I tell you to go back by yourself?"

Old Tan said: "Listen to me, you are the boss, there are many things waiting for you in the store, you can't always be with me. Besides, Chinese New Year is coming soon, you have to be at home, a big family.

It's not that I can't move, it's okay to take care of myself.In addition, I want to be alone for a while, and I don’t want to be accompanied by anyone, and besides—”

"It's okay, you, I can listen to you for other things, but this is not okay." Wang Shulan interrupted Lao Tan, she was a little angry, but she didn't get angry, and suppressed her emotions and said, "It's the same whether I'm in the store or not." , there is Li Jing, otherwise I don't care about it, she decides. Zhongqing always comes to Beijing, and there is Xiaomei, she doesn't care if I'm not here?
You don't have to worry about my family's affairs, just one year, how can you live at home or not?Just tell your son and daughter-in-law.

Don't say anything, I have to accompany you to the beautiful valley, otherwise I don't feel at ease, and I can't let you go alone. "

Seeing that Wang Shulan said so and Lao Tan didn't say anything else, I was very grateful.

Wang Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, poured a glass of water for Lao Tan, then sat down opposite him, and said calmly: "I know you are not feeling well, you have a disease, and the chemotherapy has not healed and it has become serious. Who will leave this matter?" I don't feel well, it's good that you can do this, I admire you.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and when the Chinese New Year comes, people can think of everything, whether they are old or young, or brothers and sisters, and they can’t remember ordinary life.Everyone is like this, it's normal.Especially if you are still preoccupied and think more than others, this is understandable.

Don't look at you if you don't say it, sister is not stupid, you must have encountered something yesterday, otherwise you can't do that——
You are the best at persuading people. You can understand a lot without saying anything.Let me emphasize one point, Lao Tan, you are now a patient, and the fundamental thing is to recover from the disease. Didn’t the old Chinese doctor say that life is king, and people have everything, and they have time for everything. "

Old Tan didn't say anything, looked down at the water glass in his hand, and nodded slightly.

"Brother, don't hold back what's going on, just speak up." Wang Shulan said.

Old Tan slowly raised his head, squeezed the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's nothing, it's all over——"

"——just go in the past."

Wang Shulan didn't ask any further questions, she believed that what Lao Tan said was over, it was over.

She said: "Tomorrow I will go to the shopping mall after getting the medicine, and buy New Year's clothes for Yingzi, her mother and her father, as well as Xiaomei's parents. We have troubled others there. It is the New Year, which is more or less interesting." .”

"Well, it should." Old Tan said.

"I'll buy you one too."

"I don't need it, I can't wear it well."

Wang Shulan said with a smile: "This spirited young man still can't dress well? You can find an eighteen-year-old if you dress up."
