Yang Jingxing opened the door of the fire escape and let his father and uncle go in first. Yang Chengguang quickly started to jog, and Yang Chengyi followed closely with a low cry.

Yang Jingxing also heard his grandma's sudden cry. He walked quickly, following Yang Chengyi, looking at the awkward backs of the two middle-aged men.

The two young doctors in surgical suits didn't seem to say anything when they faced the family members. They waved after seeing Yang Chengyi and Yang Chengguang: "Family members, please come here."

Xiao Shuyun was also anxious at this moment: "What exactly does brain death mean!?"

Xiao Shu and Xia's mother-in-law tried their best to take care of their mother-in-law who was about to collapse on the ground. The old man's face was full of tears, but he didn't make any sound, and the slapping of his hands seemed to be unconscious.

Yang Jingxing and his father and uncle followed the doctor into a simple office nearby, and Xiao Shuyun followed. There were several chairs, but no one sat down. The doctor began to talk about the situation.

The two young doctors were not the surgeons. Director Zhou, they said, initially diagnosed the patient as brain dead...

Yang Chengyi found it difficult to understand: "What does preliminary diagnosis mean?"

The doctor explained patiently and seemed to know that the patient was a relative, but Director Zhou was authoritative and made decisions from the perspective of the family.

Yang Chengyi asked: "Are you in a vegetative state?" His voice was far less confident than usual.

The doctor continued to explain...

Xiao Shuyun was angry: "People are not dead yet, so why is it meaningless?"

The doctor was not in a hurry and continued to seek truth from facts from his own point of view.

After spending some time, the two Yang Chengyi brothers finally figured out the situation, and then fell into silence. Maybe no matter what the doctor said, in their opinion, it was still up to them to decide their father's "life or death", but the doctor almost

The phrase "life is worse than death" has been uttered, but the law is blank.

The doctor also seemed to understand: "You should discuss this with other family members."

Yang Jingxing suddenly spoke and asked the question that the doctor had already explained: "Does my grandfather feel nothing now? No pain and no thinking?"

A doctor nodded: "Yes, theoretically yes."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "How long does it take to diagnose brain death?"

Another doctor said: "Usually two days, observation and examination."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you, we will discuss it here."

The doctor went out, and grandma was helped in. The old man cried, almost begging his son: "You have to save your father, save him, he raised you..."

Yang Chengyi was anxious: "Mom, let's save, save!"

The two daughters-in-law also quickly comforted their mother-in-law, but their expressions became darker and darker along with the expressions of their husbands.

Grandma couldn't be comforted at the moment, so the men asked the women to take care of them first. They came out to discuss in the empty and quiet corridor. The two brothers, Yang Chengyi and Yang Chengguang, were now willing to look into each other's eyes. There was no need for surgery.

A consensus was quickly reached, and then there was no further discussion or looking at each other.

Yang Jingxing moved closer to his father and said, "Dad...if you are like this in a few decades, what do you want me to do?"

When Yang Chengyi looked at his son, he didn't seem angry because of Yang Jingxing's unfilial piety, but was more surprised.

Yang Jingxing said: "Grandpa is trying to save his face. I think that after he is diagnosed, he should be allowed to die with dignity."

Yang Chengguang also looked at Yang Jingxing in surprise.

Yang Chengyi was in pain: "Actually, your grandfather doesn't know anything anymore..."

Yang Chengguang asked his brother: "What should I tell my mother?" His tone clearly indicated that he knew there was no answer.

Yang Jingxing added in: "You lied to grandma...otherwise she would be even more sad when she saw grandpa lying there leaning on the machine."

Yang Chengyi let out a long sigh, seemed to shake his head and rubbed his eyes.

Yang Chengguang suggested: "We still need to discuss it with them."

Yang Chengyi nodded, and Yang Jingxing said, "I'll go accompany grandma."

Xiao Shuyun had to take on the responsibility of taking care of the old man on his own, but Yang Jingxing still stayed and let his mother and aunt go out. Grandma had already begun to recall her grandfather's life, which was glorious and great...

Yang Jingxing could only comfort his grandma palely, saying that she still had sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

The two couples came in after being outside for about ten minutes. Xiao Shu and Xia's eyes were red as if they had shed tears, but not as obviously as the son's.

Then the men of the Yang family came out again, and Yang Chengyi explained to his son with difficulty: "It's not that he is afraid of taking care of himself or serving, but even if he saves his life, his organs will fail. His health is not good to begin with. At such an old age, if he can feel it, it will be worse

Uncomfortable..."

Yang Chengguang saw it more clearly: "If you have no thoughts, you will be dead, that is..." I can't find an adjective or metaphor.

The plan has been decided. Let the hospital confirm the diagnosis of brain death without telling grandma, and then let the old man go to the Paradise of Elysium with dignity... Actually, it is not certain whether he can persist until the diagnosis is completed.

After signing the signature in the medical office, Yang Chengyi and Yang Chengguang still asked to see the old man, and Yang Jingxing followed. In the cubicle outside the operating room, the old man was wearing a ventilator, his eyes were closed, and his heart and computer were being tested. Director Zhou was still there

I explained the problem of EEG to the family members.

Yang Chengyi and Yang Chengguang could only stand on the right side of the hospital bed, both bowing to look at their father. After watching for a while, Yang Chengyi first called softly: "Dad..."

Yang Chengguang also imitated: "Dad."

Yang Chengyi added: "Yang Jingxing came to see you."

Yang Jingxing also called out: "Grandpa, I'm coming."

Yang Chengyi said: "You are a soldier, and you have to live with integrity and principles throughout your life..."

Maybe this family member was behaving a little differently, and the nurses and doctors looked at him sideways.

The two sons took turns praising their father first, and then difficultly elicited the difficult decisions made by the family members. Of course, they did not want the old man to suffer...

As they talked, the two brothers Yang Chengyi choked up a little, and Yang Jingxing ignored the phone vibrating in his pocket again.

Then, the patient was sent to the ICU ward, which was still a single room, and his wife was notified later. Yang Jingxing's grandmother cooperated with the hospital and believed what her family and doctors said, but she always cried and sighed.

Xiao Shuxia said to her son: "Your grandpa looks better than in the morning... more peaceful."

Grandma began to blame herself for finding out too late in the morning, which made her daughter-in-law sad.

Yang Jingxing's uncle and cousin also came. After offering condolences and asking questions, they began to do their part as landlords and arrange dinner and accommodation.

Yang Jingxing took the time to call Lu Lin and Xu Wei back. Lu Lin learned about Yang Jingxing's grandfather's illness from home and wanted to express his concern.

Yang Jingxing said: "It's no longer possible."

Lu Lin asked: "Which hospital? Let's go and take a look."

Yang Jingxing said no need, please contact me if anything happens.

Qi Qingnuo answered the phone quickly, but in a more stable tone: "How's it going?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Brain dead, I just decided to give up treatment, so I have time to call you."

Qi Qingnuo didn't understand either, so Yang Jingxing explained it in detail. The more Qi Qingnuo listened, the more silent he became, and asked very softly: "Who decided?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I proposed it and they passed it."

Qi Qingnuo was silent for a while before saying, "Okay... this is actually the best."

Yang Jingxing said: "I definitely won't be able to go back this week..."

Qi Qingnuo asked knowingly: "Go home and hold a memorial service?"

Yang Jingxing replied: "Our place is relatively feudal, so it may take some time."

Qi Qingnuo's breathing was slow but unsteady and his voice was obvious: "Are your dad and the others okay?"

Yang Jingxing said: "My grandma was very emotional, while my dad and the others were more restrained, but it was obvious that she was very sad."

Qi Qingnuo smiled dryly: "Don't be so objective."

Yang Jingxing asked: "What are you doing?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's okay... I'm just waiting for your call."

Yang Jingxing said: "I miss you."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I will tomorrow afternoon..."

Yang Jingxing said: "No need, I just want to miss you."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled: "I can't be moved now either."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I was moved by these words."

After a moment of silence, Qi Qingnuo said, "When will it be?"

Yang Jingxing guessed: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Qi Qingnuo thought about it and asked, "Has Yu Xinting called you? I have no other intentions!"

Yang Jingxing said, "No, I'll beat her later."

Qi Qingnuo laughed dryly again: "Be more relaxed and don't affect her mood."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's not that powerful."

Qi Qingnuo added: "I originally planned to copy her brilliance tomorrow and pass it on to you for your own review."

Yang Jingxing said: "Just take a look...it's best to listen to her play. Sometimes she likes to play hard."

Qi Qingnuo: "Professor Li, don't worry... are you ready for dinner?"
