The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 588 Cerebral hemorrhage
"What did the doctor say?" Old Tan asked anxiously.

"The doctor said that there was a bleeding point in the head, and a blood cake had formed, and a craniotomy was needed immediately," Zhou Xiaomei said.

"What about doing it now?"

"Hmm." Zhou Xiaomei nodded, "I just signed the paper—— woo, it said there was a 50.00% risk of life, woo——"

Lao Tan heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this is a common operation based on his long-term medical experience, so he comforted him: "It's okay, you delivered it in time and nothing happened, just take out the blood cake, it's fine."

"This is a craniotomy, uncle."

"Oh, that's okay, why don't you get blood cakes out without a craniotomy?" Lao Tan then said: "Now that the medical level is so advanced, craniotomy in this situation is already common. Don't worry, it will take half a month at most." , nothing wrong."

"Really?" Xiaoying asked, tugging at the corner of Lao Tan's clothes, with tears on her face.

"Really, I won't lie to you." Lao Tan lowered his head and wiped the tears from the child's face.

"Will my dad be able to walk normally?" Xiaolong asked.

"Yes, why not, it's the same as before." Old Tan said.

At this time, he found that both children were barefoot and wearing slippers, and so was Zhou Xiaomei.Obviously, I forgot to change my shoes in a hurry when I came here, but fortunately, I was wearing cotton trousers and down jackets so that I would not freeze.

Yang Zhijun and Mulan came here in a hurry. Lao Tan briefly explained the situation to them, and then asked Yang Zhijun to drive the two children back first. The children have to go to school tomorrow, so there should be no delay.

Then Mulan and Mulan went for a nucleic acid test, and then came back to sit with Zhou Xiaomei on a chair outside the operating room and waited anxiously—
Cao Jiadong was pushed out three hours later, and the operation was successful.

It was already dawn when Lao Tan returned to the hotel. He took a hot shower for his tired body, and then leaned on the bed to light a cigarette.

The smoke rose and diffused in the incoming morning light.

I didn't sleep much all night, my body was tired and my bones were piled up one by one, but I didn't feel sleepy when I closed my eyes.

He knew it was sleepiness, just like hunger, but he didn't feel hungry.

The cerebral hemorrhage caused by Cao Jiadong's sudden fall made him feel the fragility of life again.He thought to himself that there was someone next to him, and the hospital sent him in time. If there was no one, it would be over and he would definitely die.

People, although it is said that people are born to die, but who wants to die when they are in good times?It's not that it's better to live than to die, but life is impermanent, and no one knows which will come first, accident or surprise tomorrow.

Living in the moment should be living well, not wanton waste and consumption.There are many things that are not brought with you when you are born but not taken away when you die, but the world has been busy with these things for a lifetime, hey——

My old Tan has lived for 47 years. I didn’t want to be a cook but spent half my life frying food. It’s unreasonable.

At the beginning, life forced me to do it, but who would have thought that I fell in love with it, and I have been doing it out of control until now.

I'm so tired.

First, they ran around in order to get rid of poverty, leaving home and business to work desperately for their children's money. They were so tired that they vomited blood and blood pressure soared.I can't be tired, I'm too poor, I don't have any money, I can't let my wife and children go hungry.

Thinking about it, this life is the same as the slogan chanted by the country. The first thing to solve is the problem of food and clothing.

This is how people move forward step by step, everyone does.

The problem is that people's desires are endless. If you think about it well, how many are satisfied?
It stands to reason that the vomiting of blood should stop, but at that time, the desire came, and I wanted to make a career in the catering industry.

So let's do it, and it takes more than ten years to do it.

Are you successful now?

In fact, I seldom think about whether this is a career thing. Everything I do now is completely a habit. Once it becomes something I must do every day, not doing it is like a shortcoming, and I have no meaning and purpose.

But the cost is huge.

The fight against cancer in the past two years has not been so easy, and only I know the taste of it.It's like making a plate of bitter gourd fried eggs. The golden fried eggs on both sides are attractive, but it's bitter to eat.

Fortunately, I won and have a new understanding of life.

To put it bluntly, all of this relies on two words - to live.

It is said that life and death are not to be taken lightly, but in fact life and death are not taken lightly, what is taken lightly is those unnecessary things between life and death, making life easy and real.

Old Tan didn't know when he fell asleep, and he fell asleep very deeply.

When I woke up at four in the afternoon, it was snowing outside.

Lao Tan remembered that he was going to have dinner with his old family at night, so he picked up his mobile phone and called Wang Yanli. Wang Yanli said that she had notified her and would go after get off work. There were 36 people in total.

36 people?Old Tan was shocked.Quite a lot, enough to support a store, Lao Tan put down his phone and talked to himself.

He remembered that he only recruited five people, including Wang Yanli, and the others were passed on to each other by these five people, and they were either relatives or friends.

These people didn't know anything when they came, and they can do everything now.Some families live here, and although they haven't bought a house yet, they are already planning to work regularly.

Hey, these people are all supported by Ah Qiao, the responsibility is heavy.

Ah Qiao can't be pornographic, what will these people do if they are pornographic?Back to farming?Besides, if it is yellow, it is also very important. Can I go back to my hometown?What can I use to meet Jiangdong's elders?
Heh, it looks like you can't retreat to the second line, you have to keep fighting.

Next, Lao Tan called Zhou Xiaomei to ask about Cao Jiadong's situation.Zhou Xiaomei said it was fine, she was awake, she knew everyone like a normal person, and her limbs could move freely.

"Xiaojun came at noon, and I refused to let him stay to serve me, so I told him to go back to class." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Then you can't do it alone." Old Tan said.

"Okay, it's fine." Zhou Xiaomei said, "Xiaolong and Xiaoyingzhijun are helping to take care of it for the past two days."

"Oh——" Old Tan asked, "Didn't you call your father and your mother?"

"No, didn't tell them, tell them it's time to get angry, at that age——"

"Well, don't tell me that's right."

"The doctor said that I can be discharged from the hospital in ten days, and I will be fine when I am discharged from the hospital."

"Well, that's good. If you have anything to call, it's not convenient to go to the hospital now. I always do nucleic acid."

After talking on the phone with Zhou Xiaomei, Old Tan checked that the time was exactly five o'clock, so he packed up and left the hotel.

It was dusk, and the snowflakes were scattered under the street lamps one after another, rendering the night of Qingcheng in the grassland.

Old Tan walked in the snow, and the snowflakes soon covered his shoulders.

The snowy night is warm and quiet, the snowflakes melt the cold silently, people imagine a warm home and a burning stove in the warmth, and the smiling faces of relatives are so close——
Slow down the pace, the snow is intoxicating, the sky closes, and the candlelight shines on the warm night.

Anxious mood, chaotic emotions, short and long land, tender feelings into the ocean.

Lao Tan stopped in front of the copper hot pot restaurant not far from the old shop. He used to come here often, and it was at his house that he ate the first meal of boiled mutton in Hohhot, and fell in love with it ever since.

He looked inside, and there were quite a few people serving the steaming hot shabu-shabu. The boss was happily serving the guests, and the proprietress was carrying a kettle to the table to add old soup to the hot pot. The soup was thick and white, and the aroma was overflowing.
