In this way, I worked for more than a year and in the blink of an eye it was the beginning of 1984.
At the Ma family, Zhou Chen took Wang Sufang's pulse. Wang Sufang wanted to cough but was afraid of disturbing Zhou Chen, so she could only try hard to restrain herself.
After a while, Zhou Chen let go of his hand and said softly, "It's a little better now. Take some medicine for a few more days."
Hearing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Chen gave a few more instructions and then said goodbye: "Then I'll go back first, I still have some things to do at home."
Peng Yongli said, "I'll go with you. I just happen to have a few questions for you."
Having said that, she went upstairs to get the books.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Zhou Chen came outside the door and waited. After a while, Ma Kui came out and pulled Zhou Chen aside.
"Zhou Chen, tell me the truth, how is your aunt's health?"
He is a policeman and is very observant, unlike his daughters and the others. He clearly noticed that Zhou Chen's expression was different, so he chased him out to ask.
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ma, I won't hide it from you. Auntie's health is not very good. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will only last for one or two years."
"what?"
Ma Kui shook his body with an expression of disbelief, and he eagerly grabbed Zhou Chen's arm.
"How could this happen? Wasn't she fine all along? Didn't you cure her?"
"Uncle Ma, you know exactly what disease Aunt has. I have no ability to cure her. I have only been controlling her condition. Aunt's health is already worse than that of an average person. She has been working hard over the years. She has been sick several times since the beginning of spring. Her health is getting worse. Even if I use acupuncture now, it won't have much effect."
Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture may have some magical aspects, but it is not a cure-all. When the body is in good health, the effect is very good, but Wang Sufang's body was already full of holes, and even with acupuncture, it was difficult to change it.
Ma Kui had a look of grief on his face. Of course he understood. In fact, he understood after they came back from seeking medical treatment everywhere.
It's just that Zhou Chen's methods in the past few years have allowed Wang Sufang to live well, so much so that her family almost forgot that Wang Sufang was suffering from a terminal illness. They always felt that as long as Zhou Chen was around, that day would be far away from them.
But in fact, more than five years have passed since that year. At that time, experts in the capital said that if he did not undergo surgery, he might only live for one or two years. However, under Zhou Chen's treatment, he has lived for more than five years, which is much better than the result they heard at that time.
"Really, is there really no other way?"
"I can only prescribe some healing prescriptions. If you take good care of yourself, you may be able to survive for another year or two."
Ma Kui was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I understand. Don't tell your aunt and Ma Yan about this."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ma."
At this time, Peng Yongli came over, and Ma Kui immediately adjusted his expression and smiled, as if nothing had happened.
Peng Yongli followed Zhou Chen back home and suddenly asked, "I heard some of what you just said. Is Second Mother really helpless?"
She couldn't help but think of her mother who died of illness when she was a child. She had lived in the Ma family for more than two years. Her second mother, Wang Sufang, was very kind to her. She felt a sense of motherhood from Wang Sufang, so when she learned that Wang Sufang was dying, she was very sad.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but just gently held her in his arms, hugged her and comforted her.
He is just a doctor, not a god. He has done his best to help a patient with advanced lung cancer live for five or six years. The rest can only be left to God.
Peng Yongli leaned in Zhou Chen's arms, hugged Zhou Chen tightly, and shed tears of sadness.
"Zhou Chen, I want to buy some things for my second parents. Let's go together next weekend."
"Okay, what do you want to buy?"
"Clothes, shoes and the like. I see my second father and second mother always wear those clothes all year round. They don't even have two pairs of shoes, and they are all worn out. They have been very good to me in the past two years and have always taken good care of me. They treat me more like their own daughter. I have always wanted to repay them, but my second father never lets me give him anything."
She had lived in the Ma family for two years. Although her father brought many things to the Ma family, she herself did not contribute anything. The most she did was help with the housework and teach Ma Jian. So she felt very sorry for Ma Kui and his wife.
"Our Lili is filial. Okay, I'll go with you."
"Then we have an agreement."
Zhou Chen was just about to explain a problem to Peng Yongli when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Zhou Chen, is Zhou Chen at home? I, your elder brother Wu, have something to discuss with you."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1374: Niu Dali, the case of dismemberment
Zhou Chen opened the door and saw Wu Changgui and his wife standing at his door. Wu Changgui was wearing sunglasses and looking around. At just one glance, he noticed that something was wrong with Wu Changgui.
But he didn't show it and pretended not to know.
"Brother Wu, Sister Wu, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Wu was about to speak, but Wu Changgui pushed her and said, "Let's talk inside."
Zhou Chen stepped aside to let them in. Seeing Peng Yongli in the room, Mrs. Wu immediately smiled and greeted her, "Lili is here too. Did I disturb you?"
Peng Yongli waved her hands hurriedly and said, "No, no, Mrs. Wu, you guys chat first, I'll go back and get something."
She was quite perceptive and saw that Wu Changgui and his wife were looking for Zhou Chen for something, so she immediately found an excuse to leave.
Wu Changgui finally relaxed after Peng Yongli left. Mrs. Wu couldn't stand her husband's behavior and snorted, "Old Wu, do you want me to speak or you want me to speak?"
"I speak for myself."
Wu Changgui took off his sunglasses and blinked his red eyes.
"Zhou Chen, I know you can treat illnesses. You have saved people in the car more than once. Even the wife of the old Ma family had cancer, and you were able to cure it. You are better than the doctors in the hospital. Can you help me take a look at my eyes? I don't know what's wrong with me. It hurts and itches. It's very uncomfortable."
"Yes, Zhou Chen, please help him check if he has conjunctivitis. I asked him to go to the hospital, but he refused to go."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Go home quickly and don't get in the way."
Wu Changgui was very dissatisfied and scolded Mrs. Wu for a few words, and then continued to say to Zhou Chen: "You know, I make a living with these eyes. For so many years, there has never been a problem. My eyes are very sharp. I don't know what happened this time. Can you help me take a look?"
If you want to be a train driver, eyes are very important. Once there is a problem with your eyes, it will be difficult for him to perform the job of train driver, so he was very uneasy.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Zhou Chen walked up to Wu Changgui. Wu Changgui had suffered from uveitis in the plot. When he saw Wu Changgui's red and abnormal eyes, he knew something was wrong, but he needed to look more carefully to see the details.
"Wu Ge, wait a moment, I'll get a flashlight."
Zhou Chen carefully observed Wu Changgui's eyes. Although he was not an ophthalmologist, he could tell that he had an eye inflammation, uveitis.
"How is it, Zhou Chen, what's wrong with Old Wu's eyes? Is it conjunctivitis?" Mrs. Wu couldn't help asking.
Wu Changgui scolded in dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about? Pink eye, pink eye, is that all you know about pink eye? Stop talking and listen to Zhou Chen."
The couple both looked at Zhou Chen, both of them showing varying degrees of nervousness.
Wu Changgui was thinking that if there was any problem with his eyes, his job as assistant driver would be over.
Mrs. Wu was worried about whether Wu Changgui had any eye problems and was more concerned about her husband. As for the job of deputy driver, she was not too worried. After all, Wu Changgui was a regular employee. Even if he could not be a deputy driver, the company would arrange for him to do other work.
Zhou Chen said slowly: "Brother Wu, if I'm not mistaken, you have uveitis."
"What kind of inflammation is grapes? Isn't this an eye problem? What does it have to do with grapes?" Mrs. Wu looked confused.
Wu Changgui, who was already in a bad mood, became very angry when he saw his wife chattering non-stop.
"I told you to shut up, why are you still talking so much nonsense? Are you a doctor?"
"Okay, I won't tell you. Zhou Chen, tell me, what does this grape inflammation mean?"
Zhou Chen explained: "The uvea is the eye pigment, the second layer of the eyeball wall, and one of the components of the eye. Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea due to infection, immunity or other reasons. It is not what we often call pink eye. However, if uveitis cannot be properly treated and controlled, the consequences will be very serious."
When Wu Changgui heard this, his heart sank. What he was most afraid of hearing was "serious", but Zhou Chen said the word "serious" right away. How could he not be nervous?
"Well, how can we cure it? Will eye drops work?"
Zhou Chen did not give a direct answer, but said: "Brother Wu, the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Improper treatment may lead to more serious consequences, so I think you'd better go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up."
When he heard that he had to go to the hospital for a check-up, Wu Changgui immediately became unhappy.
"Why go to the hospital, Zhou Chen? You can do it, too. You can even cure the cancer of Old Ma's wife. My minor case of grape inflammation is not a problem at all. You can just help me. There's no need to go to the hospital."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, I know Chinese medicine. Uveitis is not easy to treat with Chinese medicine. I suggest you go to the hospital."
Uveitis is a rather troublesome disease. It’s not that Chinese medicine cannot cure it, but Zhou Chen is not an ophthalmologist after all. If he were asked to treat it, he could indeed cure it.
But the problem is that he doesn't want to take action, and Wu Changgui's situation is different from Wang Sufang's.
Wang Sufang was in the late stage of cancer at the time, but when she knew that he could help with the treatment, she still went to the Capital Hospital. This shows that Ma Kui's family did not believe in him at first, but later they had no other choice and saw no hope, so they placed their hopes on him.
He could understand what Ma Kui and the others were thinking. After all, he was not a doctor in this world, and in the eyes of others, he had never studied medicine. How much could he achieve by self-study? If there was no hope, how could they ask him for treatment?
It was only after he stabilized Wang Sufang's condition and allowed her to live well that the Ma Kui family began to believe in him.
But it was different for other people in the compound. Even though they knew that Zhou Chen could treat illnesses and had demonstrated it on the train and had treated Wang Sufang, in fact, few people would actually come to him for treatment in recent years. They would rather go to Dr. Shen than to him.
This is cognitive bias. After all, in their eyes, Dr. Shen is a doctor at the Railway Hospital, and Zhou Chen is just an unlicensed "doctor" who is so young. Under normal circumstances, they would choose to see Dr. Shen.
Zhou Chen was also happy about this. He didn't want to go back to his old job and continue treating patients. His current job was a flight attendant.
He doesn't have the heart of a saint who wants to save the world. It's okay for neighbors to help each other, but when it comes to something as sensitive as seeing a doctor, it's fine if the doctor does a good job, but if he doesn't, it's hard to say whether the friendship between neighbors can be trusted.
So the best way to deal with it is to protect yourself first, rather than taking on too much.
The reason why Wu Changgui came to see Zhou Chen was because he didn't want to go to the hospital. Once he went to the Railway Hospital, his eye problem would no longer be concealed.
"Can't we just go to the hospital?"
"Going to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup is also for your own good, Brother Wu. I have only learned some Chinese medicine by myself, and I am not as experienced as the old doctors. What's more, the hospital has professional equipment for testing."
Seeing Wu Changgui was hesitant, Zhou Chen said again: "Brother Wu, I think your inflammation is not very serious now. If you continue to delay, it may become more and more serious, and may even cause lesions, which is very harmful to the eyes. Brother Wu, don't be afraid to see a doctor."
Wu Changgui didn't say anything. If he was willing to go to the hospital, he wouldn't have come to Zhou Chen for help.
Mrs. Wu, on the other hand, didn't have so many complicated thoughts. After hearing what Zhou Chen said, she immediately said to Wu Changgui anxiously, "Old Wu, Zhou Chen has said so. Why are you still hesitating? If you keep delaying like this, it will get worse. Let's go to the hospital quickly."
Wu Changgui was very annoyed, but this time he didn't curse because he was also frightened by what Zhou Chen said.
He didn't listen to his wife, but he dared not ignore the words of "doctor" Zhou Chen.
So after he left Zhou Chen's house, he went to the Railway Hospital without much thought.
After Wu Changgui came back from the hospital, he hid in the house and refused to come out, because the situation described by the hospital doctor was actually more serious than what Zhou Chen said. He was really scared and his heart was filled with despair. He felt that he could no longer keep his job as deputy driver.
The news of his eye disease spread quickly, and even the leaders of his unit knew about it, and they came to his house to persuade him.
There are only two drivers on a train. The importance of the co-driver is self-evident, as he may take over the driver's position at any time. For today's train drivers, eyes are the most indispensable. Therefore, Wu Changgui, who has eye problems, is definitely not allowed to follow the train in principle.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling Wu Changgui was, he had to stay at home and recuperate, and his position as co-driver was temporarily given to Niu Dali.
In the evening, Niu Dali walked up to Zhou Chen with an arrogant and triumphant step.
"Zhou Chen, I'll treat you tonight, Lao Zhang Restaurant."
Seeing him like this, Zhou Chen teased, "You are laughing so wildly, does this mean Yao Yuling agrees to date you?"
Niu Dali's pupils dilated and he said in surprise, "Oh my God, they say you're a master at solving cases. Your eyes are really sharp. You guessed it right. Yao'er and I are getting along. Hahahaha..."
Zhou Chen cooperated very well and gave a thumbs up: "Niu, sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. I admire you very much."
Niu Dali became even more proud, and once he was proud, he began to become arrogant.
"I'll go call Wang Xin and Xiao Nian. I'll treat you tonight. I'll prepare some delicious food and have a good drink. Don't leave until you're drunk."
After calling Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian, the four musketeers of the compound went straight to the Lao Zhang Restaurant outside. Niu Dali was boasting a lot, but when it came to ordering, he was stingy and only ordered a few dishes, which were not that tough.
Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian both looked at him with contempt, but Niu Dali said proudly that he would save money in the future, and when he had saved enough money, he would marry Yao Yuling and so on.
Cai Xiaonian asked Wang Xin without hesitation, "Wang Xin, Niu Dali is dating Yao Yuling. How do you feel about this now? After all, you and Yao Yuling also had a relationship before."
Wow, this one sentence silenced Niu Dali and Wang Xin.
Wang Xin said dissatisfiedly: "What happened between Yao Yuling and me was nothing. We were together for only a few days and we didn't even hold hands. How can we be called a couple?"
Niu Dali's expression returned to normal. He didn't really care about it, but it was still a bit awkward to have someone say it to his face.
Zhou Chen changed the subject and asked Niu Dali, "Dali, you will be driving as a co-driver tomorrow. What do you think now?"
"What do you think?"
Niu Dali grinned from ear to ear. After working as a boiler worker for so many years, he could finally catch up with the position of assistant driver. He was of course very happy. On top of that, he started dating Yao Yuling, which made him feel very happy.
"Of course I am happy. My career has taken another step forward. I am now an assistant driver and will strive to become a full driver in the future."
Cai Xiaonian snorted coldly, "Forget it, I haven't even become a train conductor yet, and you want to be the driver. Do you want to replace my dad so soon?"
"Look at what you're saying. Your father is not the only train driver in the Railway Bureau. Can't I work as a driver on other trains?"
"If we go to another car, we won't be able to be with Yao Yuling."
