Chapter 46: Awakening to the North

Xiangbei had been in a coma for a whole day. During this day, he could not eat and rely on the doctor's medications and other drugs to maintain the function of his body. Seeing that his husband was like this, Zhou Xuecen was anxious, but reason told her that she had to adjust her mentality and that this family needs to be supported.

In this patriarchal society, women seem weak, but when they face difficulties, when they think they must protect the people around them, the power they burst out is often beyond people's imagination, and is even more brave than men.

This is how Zhou Xuecen was. During this day, she traveled back and forth between home and hospital, dealing with various things. After finishing the north of the hospital, she had to rush home to take care of Nuoyi. At the critical moment, no one could count on her, and she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and despair.

"Zhang Ke, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get busy even if I split myself in half." Zhou Xuecen walked into the house and saw Zhang Ke and Nuo Yi playing on the side, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yangbei hasn't woken up yet?"

"Yeah, it's been a day."

"How could this happen? What happened? He is in good health in normal times." Zhang Ke looked puzzled.

"Don't ask, it's hard to say anything. I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance." It seems that Zhang Ke doesn't know the things reported online yet. It's okay if he doesn't know. Even his best friend, Zhou Xuecen is unwilling to tell such bad things.

"Xuecen, don't worry, look at your bad face, be careful of your health." Zhang Ke was also very distressed when he saw his best friend's appearance. "If something big happened, don't you plan to tell your parents? At least there can be someone to discuss."

Zhou Xuecen shook her head, "I'll hold on myself. You know, the four elderly people in our two families are almost 20 years old and they are not in good health. Now they can't even take care of their children. If they talk about Xiangbei, they still have to worry about death?"

Zhou Xuecen sighed, leaned his head against the sand, his eyes were tired and his face was gray.

"Mom, have you gone to see Dad? How is he now?" Nuo trotted and threw himself into Zhou Xuecen's arms. The two-year-old child looks ignorant and is sometimes sensitive to family affection.

"Dad is too tired and is resting in the hospital. When Dad wakes up, can we go see him together?" Zhou Xuecen comforted.

"Okay, I want to buy a big gift for my dad, uh...Is it good to buy a big excavator?"

Zhou Xuecen nodded.

After getting Ying Nuo, Nuo jumped happily and went to the side to play again.

Boys have an inexplicable passion for vehicles. Every boy, without an excavator, his childhood is imperfect.

"Oh, it's really hard for you." Zhang Ke looked at Nuo Yi and sighed.

"I've caught up, there's no way. How can a person always be smooth in his life? After passing this hurdle, everything will get better again." Zhou Xuecen said, "By the way, how is the business of the beauty salon? Have you delayed a lot of business these days?"

"It's okay, I'm staying there and having nothing to do. In fact, it's just to focus on those employees working. The money is too difficult to make now, so I can't count on others and keep abreast of myself."

In Zhou Xuecen's opinion, Zhang Ke is close to the standard of a successful person: a happy family, a rich husband, and a career he has. It is really enviable. People, when they grow up to a certain stage, they will understand that it is enough to be lonely, not bored, having dreams, and having relatives. Nothing else matters.

"Please do you a favor, Zhang Ke. In the past few days, you can take Nuoyi home to watch, or take it to the beauty salon?" Zhou Xuecen had her own considerations. She knew that Xiangbei's problem was not just about getting sick. If he was just too stressed and unconscious, it would not be a big deal. And the terrible letters of complaints on the Internet were the ones that worried her the most. This was destined to be a dark and difficult time, and she had to face it with her husband.

Seeing Zhou Xuecen's tired and weak look, Zhang Ke felt pitiful and distressed, "You, you told me whether to ask for it or not! At least two old people in my family take turns to take care of the children. Besides, my little naughty guy yelled all day long to find Nuoyi to play with. If Nuoyi was asked to go over, he would definitely be very happy."

"You have really helped me, thank you."

"But, after hearing what you said, why do I feel like I am heading north this time..." Zhang Ke felt that there were ominous signs hidden in Zhou Xuecen's words.

Zhou Xuecen: "Well, the doctor said, it's hard to say whether he can wake up or not. It depends on his own condition."

"Don't worry, Xiangbei's health is so good, it should be better soon, don't worry too much." Zhang Ke looked at the time, at 7:30 pm, "Snowcen, you pack up some Nuoyi's clothes and daily necessities. It's quite early. I'll take Nuoyi home now. Also, Xiangbei has a doctor in the hospital to take care of him, so there will be nothing wrong for the time being. I order you to have a good sleep later."

Nuoyi released the energy of the day, and soon became tired and fell asleep. The two of them carefully picked up Nuoyi and walked out of the house.

熟睡当中的诺一,像一只温顺的小猫,时而嘟一下小嘴,还带着一点笑意.说来也怪,这个淘气鬼如今进入了人生当中第一个叛逆期,平时经常惹得周雪岑生气,甚至想把他狠狠揍一顿,但是每次看到熟睡的他,周雪岑又有一种强烈地想去保护和疼爱的冲动.她强忍着心中的不舍,把孩子放到汽车后排座位,裹上一层厚厚的被褥,又系上安全带.

The vehicle started and gradually moved away... Zhou Xuecen turned around and went home until he could no longer see the light of the car body.

I don’t know when it started, snow began to float above Hedong. Under the reflection of street lights, the snowflakes seemed to have shadows, which were more three-dimensional. Snowflakes were rotating and flying, drawing gentle and beautiful arcs in the air.

Zhou Xuecen did not go home. The changes she experienced this day made her feel heavy. She walked aimlessly around the oval sidewalk in the community. In the winter night, everyone stayed at home to enjoy the warmth and comfort, and there was no figure on the road. The snowflakes fell gently on Zhou Xuecen's face, as if a feather gently stroked her cheeks, but instantly turned into rain, forming a shallow tear mark.

Suddenly, the harsh cell phone ringtone pulled her back from the dreamy world. Zhou Xuechen shuddered and answered the phone.

"Hey, I am Hedong First People's Hospital. Are you Xiangbei's family?"

"Yes, doctor, I am Xiangbei's wife."

"Xiangbei has woken up. Can someone come and take care of him? Now he is very weak. In addition to the medications we provide, it is best to let him eat some liquid food as directed by the doctor."

"That's great, doctor, thank you. I'll go there now!" Zhou Xuechen couldn't help but shouted. She returned home and simply packed up some hospital supplies, took a car, and rushed to the hospital.

Just as Zhou Xuecen was about to enter the ward building, he suddenly thought of the doctor's instructions and returned, and bought a portion of millet porridge and a little pickled vegetables in the hospital canteen.

Although Xiangbei woke up, his body was still weak and looked weak, and it was even difficult to open his eyes, let alone speak.

Zhou Xuecen pushed open the ward door, Xiangbei was still lying on the hospital bed, and two doctors stood next to him.

"Husband, you finally woke up." Zhou Xuecen couldn't wait to shout.

"Shh." The doctor signaled him to lighten his voice.

Zhou Xuecen approached Xiangbei. He closed his eyes tightly, and could not see any awakening.

"Doctor, what's going on? Has he not woke up yet?"

The attending physician is a middle-aged woman with a dignified and gentle manner. Although her head is mostly gray, her classic back and bun make her look very energetic. She was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and her eyes revealed a sense of majesty. The middle-aged woman looked at Xiangbei and happened to take Zhou Xuechen out of the house.

"Does he have any family history?"

"Family medical history? No. I have never heard from my husband. Moreover, the newspaper organizes physical examinations every year. I have checked physical examination reports, except for small problems such as fatty liver, no other problems have been found." After hearing the four words "Family medical history", Zhou Xuecen felt irritated. Xiangbei is a person who loves sports. He usually runs and exercises when he is free. Although he is overworked and fat, his figure has always been maintained. For so many years, Zhou Xuecen has never seen any abnormalities in Xiangbei's body.

"So have he ever had symptoms of intermittent headaches?"

Zhou Xuecen shook his head: "There is nothing more. If there were any, I would have brought him to the hospital for examination a long time ago."

"That's right. We did a full body examination for him and found that there was a foreign object in his brain. What exactly is it? We still need to do further examination. According to my judgment, it may be a silent adenoma. This should be one of the reasons why he fell into a coma this time."

"Silent adenoma? Is this disease serious?" Zhou Xuecen became nervous.

"It's hard to say, it varies from person to person. Generally speaking, tumors that appear in the human body are both benign and malignant. This type of adenoma is generally benign tumors, and there is no big problem. However, once the patient encounters any stimulation, it may recover. Perhaps, he has not encountered strong stimulation before, so there is no symptoms of headache." The attending physician said cautiously, and it is not difficult to see that her medical skills should be the same as her speaking style, with caution and meticulousness.

"Doctor, can you do a thorough examination for him this time and have also performed the tumor surgery? Is it OK?"

"This must be determined based on his condition. As long as it stabilizes this time, there will be no big problem. I can do any surgery in the future. I will tell you about this matter first, but I haven't told the patient yet. The most important thing for him now is that he can't be stimulated any more." The attending physician said, "The patient is weak and although he wakes up, he still needs to rest. Let him rest for a while, and then you feed him some porridge."

Seeing the doctor leaving, Zhou Xuecen fell into chaotic thoughts. It is said that life is like a dream. All of this in front of her is really hopeful that it is just a dream. Suddenly, she heard the coughing sound in the house. It was Xiangbei. Zhou Xuecen hurried back to the ward.

Because of the anxiety on the way, there was a layer of snow on her face, head and coat. Now it has turned into snow. From a distance, her head is messy, wet all over, and she looks embarrassed.

"Wife..." Xiangbei's body had not fully recovered, and his tone was a little weak. He struggled to sit up, tried it a few times and then lay heavily on the bed.

Zhou Xuecen quickly took two steps forward to help Xiangbei up, put a pillow on the backrest, and shook the hospital bed a little higher.

"Husband, you finally woke up. Just wake up, just wake up." Zhou Xuecen's eyes were filled with tears. The moment Xiangbei opened his eyes, she seemed to see that it was dawn again. There was still a man to carry this family.

"Where is Nuoyi?" The first thing that Xiangbei thought of when he woke up was his family.

"I'll ask Zhang Ke to take him away for a few days. Don't worry, husband, there will be no problem." Zhou Xuecen took out the plastic bag containing rice porridge and put it on the lunch box. "How do you feel now?"

"I feel much better, but I'm a little dizzy." Xiangbei looked at the infusion bag, and the doctor said that after the two bags of injections tonight, it would be almost cured. "I've slept all day?"

"Yes, it hurts me." Zhou Xuecen put the millet porridge to Xiangbeizui, "You haven't eaten for a day, so drink some porridge."

Xiangbei shook his head: "I have no appetite at all and don't want to eat it."

"No, you have to eat so that you can recover quickly." Zhou Xuecen said in an orderly tone.

Xiangbei had no choice but to take a few bites.

"I felt like I had a dream for a day, a very strange dream." Xiangbei said, "Just like a movie, the past is replayed one by one..."
