Chapter 200: Nursing Home
After sitting in Shao Qiang’s office for a while, Shao Qiang brought the three of them to his residence.
Shao Qiang also lived here, on the second floor.
According to Shao Qiang, not long after he came to this clinic from the hospital, the old doctor ended up bedridden because of a serious illness.
At that time, Shao Qiang had no one to rely on. Although he was disabled, he still shouldered the responsibility of taking care of the old doctor.
It was also because of this reason that the old doctor gave the clinic to Shao Qiang before he died.
How could Shao Qiang, a person who did not know how to practice medicine, run a clinic?
Fortunately, the doctors and nurses in the clinic did not leave after the old doctor’s death.
Although they practiced medicine here, they were only medical students. In reality, they did not have the qualifications to practice medicine.
Shao Qiang always felt that they were adequately skilled, so he took the initiative to change the clinic into a sanatorium.
In recent years, the standard of living in the city only rose up. The people in this small mountain village also started milling into the city.
As the young ones left, the old folk found themselves in short supply of caretakers.
This sanatorium took on the responsibility of taking care of these old people and other individuals in need.
Many people in the town knew about the sanatorium, but they were not rich, so they could only send some things to the sanatorium from time to time.
When the news spread to the countryside, the government had sent many leaders to inspect the sanatorium. The inspection was just a formality, but there was no one who could really contribute.
Shao Qiang had been supporting the sanatorium alone for ten years now.
The few of them had dinner in Shao Qiang’s room. The food was mostly homegrown and unique.
Shao Xiang ate the food, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “It’s still as fragrant as I remember.”
Tang Tang, however, frowned. “It’s not as fragrant as grandma’s cooking!”
Shao Xiang looked at Tang Tang’s disgruntled expression and could not help but laugh.
“Tang Tang is the best at talking! She only knows how to make me happy!” Shao Xiang stretched out a hand and gently scratched Tang Tang’s nose.
Tang Tang shrank her neck and smiled. “I’m just telling the truth! If it were grandma, she would definitely cook better than this!”
Shao Xiang smiled and said, “Then, how about I cook for you tomorrow?”
Tang Tang immediately nodded heavily. “Okay! I love your cooking the most!”
Shao Xiang helplessly smiled and shook her head.
Shao Qiang looked at the happy family, and he could not stop smiling.
Shao Xiang suddenly thought of something and asked, “Then big brother’s family…”
Shao Qiang frowned and said, “It’s not very good.”
“His wife fell sick in the early years of their marriage and has been taking medicine to maintain her health. She has exhausted all the money in the family,” Shao Qiang said with a helpless expression on his face.
“Two years ago, she passed on. Brother was severely depressed for a time,” Shao Qiang said and looked at Fang Ya. “Fortunately, his son is more than pulling his own weight. He just sent the child to school a few days ago.”
Shao Xiang looked mournful when she heard Shao Qiang’s words.
She originally thought that she had been through a lot, but she did not expect that the lives of her two brothers at home to be far more difficult than hers.
However, the thing that made her the most sad was that her parents had passed away and she had not been by their sides.
Thinking of this, Shao Xiang looked at Shao Qiang and asked, “When did mom and dad…”
“It’s been almost 20 years…” Shao Qiang said as his eyes were filled with nostalgia. “They left one after the other. There was no pain.
“They were thinking about you. They kept lamenting about not listening to your happiness and hoping if you would one day be willing to come home.” Shao Qiang said as he looked at his sister.
“My parents knew that they had let you down at that time. They only knew that if you could live a good life with him, it would be good enough.” Shao Qiang said as a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Shao Xiang heard this, tears fell again. “I did let them down!”
“They never stopped missing you!” Shao Qiang emphasized again.
Shao Xiang nodded and looked at Shao Qiang. “I let the two of them down!”
Shao Qiang shook his head and looked at Shao Xiang. He said seriously, “You’re doing well. I believe that they will be able to rest in peace.”
Shao Xiang sighed and said, “I hope that when I see my parents in the future, they won’t blame me.”
Shao Qiang revealed a smile on his face. “They will! They love you the most!”
“Do you remember when you were young…” Shao Qiang said, and his eyes were already a little moist.
Fang Ya listened to Shao Xiang and Shao Qiang relive their childhood, and childlike smiles appeared on their faces.
Tang Tang was eating with her head lowered. It could be seen that even if the food did not smell good, she was really starving.
Under Shao Qiang’s warm invitation, Fang Ya and her group moved from the hotel to the sanatorium.
There were about a dozen old people and young people with physical inconveniences all living there.
Each person had their own room. Although they were physically inconvenienced, they were not completely unable to take care of themselves.
The needs and wants of the people here were taken care of by the medical staff.
As for the food, Shao Qiang was responsible for most of it. If they were really too busy, they would ask the neighbors next door to help prepare it.
Shao Xiang looked at Shao Qiang’s busy appearance and was also interested. She helped to cook a few meals.
