MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 45

After New Year's Day, Tao Xiaodong no longer needed injections in his hands. After the pain became less painful, he couldn't sit still and basically returned to his normal life. In the morning when Tang Suoyan went to work, he drove the car to the store. If he didn't work, he would go to the hospital to deliver a meal at noon. In the afternoon, when Tang Suoyan got off work, he would come again, and the two went home together.

Tang Suoyan didn't approve of him driving, but Tao Xiaodong usually drives with only one hand. He is an old driver, and driving with one hand is not a problem.

The little assistants in the store became more proficient in cooperating with Tao Xiaodong, and Tao Xiaodong used it more smoothly. It was tiring for him to be Tao Xiaodong's hand like this, he had to keep his head down all the time, when Tao Xiaodong would finish his work and when would he get up. And because I have never done this before, I was afraid that I would not cooperate well, so I always seemed a little nervous.

The children were only twenty years old, not much older than Tao Huainan, and Tao Xiaodong looked at them as if he were his younger brother. Once the little assistant stood up to pick up something and touched Tao Xiaodong's left hand. Before Tao Xiaodong moved, he was frightened and knelt down to see Tao Xiaodong's injured hand.

Tao Xiaodong lifted it up and placed it on his head, stroking his head with the palm of his hand to comfort him. He can't hear, so a lot of the time it's action communication. The little boy looked at him nervously and worriedly, and Tao Xiaodong told him he was fine.

Recently, there have been fewer small workers in the store, and the school exam month is here. These students couldn't get out originally, and had to study at school to prepare for the exam. A group of young deaf and mute children often can't get a seat at school, can't speak, and can't make a fuss if someone grabs a seat. Later, Tao Xiaodong asked them to come to the store, and they all went to the fourth floor to stop and study, come down to eat at meal time, and study honestly at other times. The fourth floor is not commonly used. It is usually only used for class lectures. Now it has become a self-study room for part-time students.

Huan Ge's postgraduate entrance examination has just ended, and he feels that he did not do well in the examination. This year's postgraduate entrance examination is probably useless. So the last few days have been a bit low, and I'm not happy anymore. Those tattoo master brothers in the store who looked at him and everyone touched his head and coaxed him, and his hair was touched for two or three days. I forgot again.

When Tao Xiaodong went out with his lunch box, Huan Ge was still at the door and asked, "Go to the hospital, Brother Dong?"

Tao Xiaodong nodded, Huan Ge asked again: "Are you going back this afternoon?"

Seeing Tao Xiaodong say that, Huan Ge opened the door with a smile: "Go!"

The child's mood was cloudy for two days and sunny for two days, Tao Xiaodong smiled and went out.

The hospital is also busy recently. Tang Suoyan doesn't go to the outpatient clinic anymore. He has meetings, operations, and exchanges. During the period of the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the doctors are not calm.

When Tao Xiaodong passed by, he had just come out of the operating room without changing his clothes. When the two met at the door of the office, Tang Suoyan said to him, "I told you not to come here. I can go downstairs to eat. You can eat with one hand." drive less."

"It's okay." Tao Xiaodong went in together, "It doesn't matter."

There was a doctor behind Tang Suoyan, who was Dr. Chen who was sitting next to him on the plane during the last event, and asked jokingly, "Mr. Tao, you can't just deliver meals to our director. There are so many people in our department. Do you occasionally bring him a meal?" Can't we come up?"

Tao Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say."

Doctor Xiao Chen came to Tang Suoyan to pick up something, and left after taking it. After the person left, Tang Suoyan said again: "Don't come tomorrow, your hands are not convenient, don't let me worry about it."

"I'm bored staying here anyway, so come out and have a look around." Seeing that there was no water in the vacuum flask on Tang Suoyan's desk, Tao Xiaodong went out to get him a glass of water and came back.

When Tang Suoyan was busy, he often stopped eating at noon, or someone brought him the meal, and he didn't know when it was when he ate it, it was already too cold. Doctors have too many occupational diseases, and Tao Xiaodong wants to take care of them as much as he can.

"I may have to work overtime this week." After Tang Suoyan finished talking to Tao Xiaodong, he simply explained the rest, "From now until the Chinese New Year, I may not take many vacations."

"It's been so hard." Tao Xiaodong said with a smile, "But I'm not busy. I have few things to do this year. It's fine if you don't take a vacation. Anyway, we can see each other every day."

Tao Xiaodong plans to be good, delivering meals at noon, picking them up at night, and rubbing his hands when they are tired. Dr. Tang's work of curing diseases and saving lives is all serious business. If Tao Xiaodong can't help, he can do these trivial things.

Tang Suoyan looked at him, and Tao Xiaodong asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Suoyan didn't know what he thought of, and finally just smiled and shook his head and said nothing, and then asked him: "Don't you think it's annoying that I always don't have time?"

Tao Xiaodong waved his hand: "When anyone is not busy, I can't see anyone for a long time when I go out. Who is not busy, it is inevitable."

Now that they are all living in other people's homes, Tao Xiaodong doesn't play tricks anymore, and he doesn't leave immediately after delivering the meal, and can sit with him for a while.

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Tang Suoyan let in, and it was the head nurse who came over.

"Sister Chen." Tang Suoyan greeted her.

"Hey, have you finished eating yet?" The head nurse is husband and wife with director Yang of the ENT department. They have been in the hospital for many years and are very familiar with Tang Suoyan.

Tang Suo said that he had eaten it.

Tao Xiaodong came here often, and the head nurse also knew him, and they nodded and smiled at each other as greetings. Tao Xiaodong stood up and let her sit down.

She waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'll stand for a while, I'm tired after sitting for a long time."

She came here because she wanted to say something: "Suo Yan, there was a lot of trouble at the other end of the ward in the morning. There was a patient who said you asked him to take him in. We don't have any beds here, and her situation..." The head nurse shook her head and said, "I can't take it in."

Tang Suoyan mentioned a patient's name, and the head nurse nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."

Tang Suo said, "I know this."

"It's too noisy, the family members are messing around at the nurse's station, and a new intern girl made him cry in fright."

No matter what kind of family members the head nurse has seen a lot, don't take it seriously. She told Tang Suoyan: "The nurses said they didn't listen to your instructions to accept her, so I drove her away. Our department can't accept her, and there are really no beds. Now there are two extra beds in one ward. You know all this."

Tang Suoyan shook his head and said, "Don't tell me this, Sister Chen, I understand."

The patient Tang Suoyan confiscated it from the very beginning, and there is no plan for her. There are hospital rules in the hospital. Patients with advanced cancer who have no plans are almost not admitted to the hospital. Medical resources are too limited, especially for the ophthalmology department of the Third Hospital. Some patients have to wait for several months for an operation, in order to wait for a bed and limited medical resources to make room for him.

Therefore, the admission of patients who cannot be given a treatment plan takes up resources, and it also increases the fear of other patients in the inpatient department. Hospitals usually communicate positively and seeing patients die is a huge blow to patients with the same disease.

"I asked them to go to the oncology department for a try, but the oncology department didn't accept them. Cardiac, neurovascular, and blood vessels, no one was accepted. In the morning, the family members lay in front of the nurse's station and shouted to commit suicide, and even clamored to see you. It was so difficult for me. Got away."

Tang Suoyan said helplessly: "Last week, I blocked my house and waited beside my car."

"My God..." The head nurse was taken aback, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know." Tang Suoyan sighed and asked again, "How is the patient's condition?"

"It's just one or two days." The head nurse also had some regrets in her eyes, "I can't even take off the oxygen, I can't even walk by myself, and my heart and lungs can't take it anymore."

After the head nurse left, Tao Xiaodong asked worriedly, "Just the one from last time?"

Tang Suo said "hmm".

"Then..." Tao Xiaodong blinked, "Waiting to die?"

Tang Suoyan lowered his head and said nothing.

In the face of life and death, people are very small and helpless. Medicine has been growing, but it is still very young, and what it can do is really limited.

After sitting for a while, Tao Xiaodong said, "I'll pick you up at night."

Tang Suoyan said: "I don't know if I will work overtime today. Wait for my call? If it's too late, you can go back first."

"No." Tao Xiaodong was a little worried. The family member made him feel uncertain last time. "I will pick you up no matter what time it is. If you work overtime, I will wait for you in your office."

Tang Suoyan laughed: "What are you doing?"

"Anyway, I have to pick you up." Tao Xiaodong also felt that it was a bit exaggerated, and smiled to himself, "Did I pass it?"

"It's understandable." Tang Suoyan also laughed and said to him, "I haven't had much contact with him, and you will get used to it after a long time, so don't take it seriously."

"I just became a family member of a doctor and I haven't adjusted well yet." Tao Xiaodong said.

After saying this, Tang Suoyan immediately looked up at him and raised his eyebrows: "My God."

Tao Xiaodong said something crazy, couldn't stand it, Tang Suoyan asked him: "Are you all family members of doctors?"

Tao Xiaodong laughed so embarrassed that he blinked and asked, "Then I... am I?"

Tang Suoyan smiled gently, and the white coat on his body became gentle: "I don't know."

Tao Xiaodong looked at the doctor in front of him, feeling soft and at ease in his heart. He stood up and asked, "Then can I go?"

Tang Suoyan looked up: "Because you don't want to be a family member?"

"Yes, I don't have the face to sit here." Tao Xiaodong picked up the lunch box and turned to leave.

Tang Suoyan stood up to see him off. When Tao Xiaodong opened the door, Tang Suoyan said, "I didn't say you weren't."

Tao Xiaodong smiled and turned back to squeeze his hand, closed the door and left, before saying, "I will pick you up at night."

Facts have proved that Tang Suoyan has more experience, and there is no follow-up to Tao Xiaodong's worry. Tao Xiaodong spent a few days carefully, but Tang Suoyan remained calm.

There was no fuss about the family's affairs, but Tangning hadn't been so quiet these days.

He called Tang Suoyan twice more. Tao Xiaodong was next to the two phone calls, and Tang Suoyan answered the phone once, and he could hear Tao Xiaodong when he answered the phone. Tangning still wanted to chat with Tang Suoyan, but Tang Suoyan said that she was busy recently and didn't have time.

Later, when he called Tang Suoyan again, he didn't answer.

This was very embarrassing. Every time Tangning approached Tang Suoyan, the three of them felt uncomfortable.

Tang Suoyan and Tangning also broke up amicably, and they chatted with each other for a long time. This is very in line with what the two of them can do with their personalities, so that a relationship can end without being ugly. When we meet again, we greet each other politely, maybe alienated, or a bit indifferent, but not so stiff that we pretend we don't know each other.

This matter itself is a bit of a tacit understanding. Only when two people reach an agreement can this state be maintained.

Now Tangning obviously didn't want the current situation anymore. He seemed to have just realized that Tang Suoyan was really not there, and he couldn't find him when he turned around.

Tao Xiaodong and Tangning have different personalities. Sometimes when he thinks about Tangning, Tao Xiaodong really doesn't know what he is thinking. If this matter were changed to Tao Xiaodong, not to mention whether he would let someone like Tang Suoyan let go, even if he really broke up, he would not call to tell him if he really regretted it, so he must talk to someone face to face.

He frankly and neatly said all his thoughts: I regret it, I still want to be with you, can we get along again?

Some words can't be said across the phone, you have to stand across from each other and stare into your eyes.

Tao Xiaodong still doesn't know why they broke up, but since Tangning can say that he regrets it, he must have brought up the separation. After mentioning it, he didn't even want to express regret in person. Thinking of this, Tao Xiaodong suddenly felt a little bit worthless for Tang.

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Suoyan came over with a hot towel, and Tao Xiaodong's hands had to be warmed frequently.

Tao Xiaodong held out his hand to him, and sat cross-legged on the sofa, not mentioning that he was thinking about Tangning. After all, Tangning remained silent, so the two of them should not mention this name.

Tao Xiaodong said: "I think I will celebrate my birthday next Saturday, so I still have to tell you."

Tang Suoyan was surprisingly calm and only said, "I know."

"You know?" Tao Xiaodong was the one who was surprised.

Tang Suoyan didn't say how he knew it, and held his hand to apply a towel on him. Tao Xiaodong had done this for him before. Tao Xiaodong unconsciously bent his index finger and ticked the inside of Tang Suoyan's wrist, thinking that he didn't pay attention.

Tang Suoyan was tickled by him, and said with a low smile, "What are you doing with your hands?"

Tao Xiaodong came to his senses and said, "I didn't pay attention."

After speaking, he scratched Tang Suoyan's hand twice with his thumb soothingly.
