Chapter 17 He Yushui: Am I an aunt?

He Yuzhu and Zhang Erxi smiled awkwardly and sat down.

"Fengxia, what disease does the child have? Have you found out?"

"It's not confirmed yet. The child is too young," Fengxia handed the diagnosis report written by the bedside doctor to He Yuzhu.

"The doctor said we need to continue to observe."

"This won't work. The child's condition can't be delayed."

He Yuzhu looked at the medical record, which said that the child's name was Zhang Kugen and he was only six months old.

Before going to bed last night, He Yuzhu recalled the plot of the TV series "To Live".

Different from the novel "To Live".

In the novel, Fengxia died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, leaving behind her child Kugen.

The TV series was modified and Zhang Erxi died.

Fengxia went to the city and took over Zhang Erxi's job in the infrastructure team.

But the situation now is different from that in TV dramas and novels.

Fengxia is fine, and Zhang Erxi is fine too.

On the contrary, the child Kugen has suffered from serious and minor illnesses since birth.

It's like the child is suffering for his parents.

"Fengxia, Erxi, I have someone at the Military Region General Hospital. Let's transfer the child there for a checkup."

Fengxia felt a light shining in her heart after hearing this, because she often took her children to see a doctor and knew what the Military Region General Hospital was.

Zhang Erxi was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Little Dad, do you know anyone in the Military Region General Hospital?"

"It's your aunt who works there," He Yuzhu blushed when Zhang Erxi called him 'little dad', but for the sake of the children, he could not care about some things.

"My sister-in-law?"

Zhang Erxi realized that the "little aunt" was He Yuzhu's sister.

"I'll make the contact first. Don't worry. If everything is OK, I can take the child to the General Hospital tomorrow."

He Yuzhu knew that the illness could not be delayed, but it was getting late and he didn't know whether He Yushui had finished get off work.

Therefore, He Yuzhu did not make any guarantees.

After leaving the Third Hospital, He Yuzhu rode his bike straight to the Military Region General Hospital.

Because this place is famous, many people come here to see a doctor.

He Yuzhu finally arrived at the clinic where He Yushui was doing his internship, but this silly girl was actually coaxing a patient's child.

"Brother, why are you here?"

He Yushui was quite surprised to see He Yuzhu. Except for the first day when He Yuzhu came to see him off, He Yuzhu never came again afterwards.

"I need your help with something. Let's talk about it somewhere."

He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed, but things had come to a head now and he couldn't care less.

He Yushui returned the child to the patient and took He Yuzhu to a secluded meadow outside.

Usually, this is where doctors take a break and smoke.

It's almost time to get off work, but not many people are here.

"Little sister, you must keep what I said a secret."

"What's going on? Why are you so mysterious?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to tell the story in the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

When He Yushui heard this, he became anxious: "Brother, how could you do such a thing?"

He Yuzhu quickly defended himself, "I was still young at that time and didn't know much. Besides, I really liked Jiazhen."

He Yushui was not so easily fooled:

"Are you worthy of my sister-in-law?"

He Yuzhu refuted: "At that time, I didn't know your sister-in-law. I met your sister-in-law after I separated from Jiazhen."

"So what do you want from me now?"

He Yushui was almost annoyed with this stinky brother, but things had already happened, and as a younger sister, she had to find a way to solve it.

"Jiazhen's grandson Kugen is ill. Fengxia and her husband brought the child to Sijiu City for treatment. The Third Hospital couldn't find out what the disease was. I thought the doctors at the General Hospital were better, so I sent the child here for a checkup."

"Alright alright."

He Yushui never thought that as a younger sister, she would have to clean up after her older brother one day. It was really annoying.

"But this is just this once. Don't do anything to let my sister-in-law down in the future."

On weekdays, Lou Xiao'e was particularly concerned about He Yushui. She would always save a portion of delicious or fun things for He Yushui.

The relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law is good, and He Yuzhu, the eldest brother, seems to be an outsider.

"That's impossible. I haven't seen Jiazhen since we separated. Besides, what happened between Jiazhen and I happened before I met your sister-in-law, so I don't think I'm sorry to her."

He Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief after getting He Yushui's consent, and hurriedly went through the hospitalization procedures, registration, etc.

After everything was done, He Yuzhu rode his bike back to the Third Hospital.

The child's condition cannot be delayed.

He Yuzhu asked Zhang Erxi to stay and handle the discharge procedures, and left the address of the ward at the Military Region General Hospital. He then asked Fengxia to hold the child, sit on the back of a bicycle, and rush to the General Hospital.

When we arrived at the general hospital, He Yushui was standing at the door to greet us.

"Fengxia, this is your aunt, Xiaoshui, this is Fengxia."

"Hello, aunt."

Fengxia attended junior high school and was raised by Chen Jiazhen, who also had excellent family education.

He Yushui also liked her when she saw her, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about being called "aunt" before she got married.

"Fengxia, come with me first."

He Yushui studied traditional Chinese medicine, so he brought Fengxia and the child to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and found his mentor.

He Yuzhu has met He Yushui's mentor, an old professor in his seventies. His ancestors were imperial physicians and their families have been practicing medicine for generations. His medical experience is second to none in the General Hospital.

The old professor was indeed experienced. After a diagnosis, he comforted Fengxia and said that they were all minor ailments.

He Yuzhu didn’t know whether it was a minor problem or not, but it was true that he spent money like water.

Kugen stayed in the hospital for more than a month and the medical expenses cost more than three hundred yuan.

All this money was paid by He Yuzhu.

After that, you need to go back to the hospital for a follow-up visit once a month.

He Yuzhu originally wanted Fengxia to live in the small courtyard with her child and stay in the old city so that it would be more convenient for the child to see a doctor.

As a result, these two people were unwilling to bother He Yuzhu at all costs.

The medical expenses, plus the money He Yuzhu gave Fengxia privately, amounted to almost five hundred yuan.

Zhang Erxi only earned about 30 yuan a month, and he would have to go without food and drink for a year and a half to be able to pay it back.

Although He Yuzhu did not let Fengxia pay back the money, the couple felt bad. "You can go back, but don't forget the date for the follow-up visit. If you don't come, I will go to Xujiachuan to see the children."

Fengxia was grateful, but because she was holding the child, it was inconvenient for her to move, so she asked Zhang Erxi to bow several times.

"Okay, okay. After all, I am the child's grandfather. I care about the child just as much."

He Yuzhu saw the two people off and before leaving, stuffed two hundred yuan into the child's swaddling clothes.

"Fengxia, this little father is so good to the child."

Zhang Erxi felt like the more than two months he had spent in Beijing was like a dream.

"Okay, don't mention Xiaoba's matter when you go back."

Fengxia's meeting He Yuzhu this time was purely an accident.

That day, Fengxia went to the courtyard to get the New Year's money that she had hidden in the cracks of the wall when she was a child.

It just so happened that He Yuzhu arrived a little earlier and Fengxia had not arrived yet.

He Yuzhu arrived a little later, and Fengxia left.

God brought the two together and, with the help of He Yuzhu, saved Kugen's life.

The family of three returned to Xujiachuan.

Chen Jiazhen and Xu Fugui both came to see their grandson.

We haven't seen each other for more than two months, and Kugen has grown a lot.

"Jiazhen, look at Kugen. This kid got sick and got fatter."

Xu Fugui's words were unintentional, but Chen Jiazhen's listeners took them seriously.

Chen Jiazhen glanced at her daughter secretly, but Fengxia was thinking something and didn't dare to look at her mother.

"Fengxia, come out with me."

"Mom, why did you ask me to come out?"

Fengxia thought that Chen Jiazhen had seen through her flaw, so she pursed her lips and walked out reluctantly.

The more Chen Jiazhen looked at her daughter's expression, the more she knew something was wrong, and her tone became serious:

"Tell me the truth, where did you get the money to go to Sijiu City for medical treatment with Erxi?"

"My little dad gave it to me."

Seeing this, Fengxia knew she could no longer hide the truth, so she told the whole story.

After Fengxia finished telling the story, she also told her about the two hundred yuan that He Yuzhu had stuffed into the baby's swaddling clothes.

At some point, tears already covered Chen Jiazhen's face.

Wiping the tears from her face, Chen Jiazhen took a deep breath, knowing that her daughter did not make the same mistake as she did, and she should be happy in her heart.

But this favor is too great.

After a long while, Chen Jiazhen finally asked, "Is he... is he doing well?"

"Well, Xiaoba has been married for five years and has two children..."

Fengxia told him what she knew.

Only then did Chen Jiazhen feel a little better.

If Xu Fugui had not found Chen Jiazhen back then, He Yuzhu might have lived with Chen Jiazhen for the rest of his life.

There are no ifs.

When Chen Jiazhen thought of those years in Beijing, she felt extremely complicated and could not forget them for a long time.

He Yuzhu didn't know that Chen Jiazhen was actually worried about him too.

If He Yuzhu had known what Chen Jiazhen was thinking at the beginning, he didn't know what he would have done.

After He Yuzhu sent Fengxia and her family of three away, he returned home and became passionate about Lou Xiao'e again.

"Zhu Zi, little umbrella."

"Ezi, I want another daughter."

"Ok."

Lou Xiao'e didn't know why the man suddenly went crazy and wanted a child again.

However, she has a gentle personality and will try her best to satisfy a man as long as his request is not too special.

I just don’t know whether God is willing to reward He Yuzhu with a daughter.

On July 1st, He Yushui and Zhang Haiyang got married.

In order to take care of He Yushui's work location, Zhang Haiyang actually transferred his job and became a logistics officer in the general hospital.

This boy is really crazy about He Yushui.

He Yuzhu was so happy that he gave the yard that he used as a grain base to the two as a wedding gift.

Speaking of He Yuzhu's grain base yard, it also has an independent entrance and a single household, with three upper rooms, two east rooms, one west room, a gatehouse, a cattle shed, and a two-mu-sized yard.

The entire courtyard covers an area of ​​about eight mu and is close to the general hospital.

He Yushui and Zhang Haiyang live here, and it only takes five or six minutes to walk to work.

He Yushui expressed his gratitude for the wedding gift from his brother and did not comment on it.

After all, he is her biological brother. As his younger sister, He Yushui, what does her biological brother give her as a dowry? Just accept it.

Zhang Haiyang had even less objection.

Marry a beautiful doctor as your wife and get a house for free.

Zhang Haiyang happened upon such a good thing that was hard to find even with a lantern. It was enough for him to brag about it for the rest of his life.

He Yuzhu found someone to handle the transfer procedures, and the things hidden in the cellar were moved to the parallel courtyard.

After He Yushui got married, the number of times she returned to the Siheyuan courtyard decreased visibly.

Before getting married, He Yushui lived in the dormitory, but went home once a week, eating and taking things from her like a bandit.

After getting married, He Yushui only came back once a month, and every time she came back, she even bought gifts for the two children.

However, at the end of October, Zhang Haiyang's parents were suddenly sent down to other places.

Zhang Haiyang and He Yushui didn't dare to come over again.

Zhang Haiyang was afraid that his parents' affairs would implicate his brother-in-law.

Since He Yushui didn't come to see his elder brother, He Yuzhu had to go to see his younger sister.

Every time he went there, He Yuzhu would inevitably bring some delicious food for his sister.

The same thing happens in large and small bags.

When Zhang Haiyang saw this, he was so moved that he could only drink a few more glasses with He Yuzhu.

Ever since his father was demoted, none of Zhang Haiyang's former friends have paid much attention to him anymore.

Only He Yuzhu could have a few drinks with him every time he came to visit his sister.
