Chapter 902: Congestion
Chapter 902: Congestion
I highly recommend "1990, I'm Back"! Watch the exciting parts directly.
Just as the elderly couple were arguing, Yu Wei and Tang Yuan arrived at the hospital. Yu Wei's initial worries were temporarily relieved when he saw his father bickering with his mother, but he still couldn't help but complain.
"Dad! What did I tell you this morning? I told you not to go out today, and look what you've done!"
Old Yu was initially relieved to see his son and daughter-in-law rushing to the hospital to check on him, but to his surprise, his son started blaming him as soon as they met. This is completely upside down! Who is the father and who is the son?
My wife nags a bit, that's fine, but you little brat, you're actually trying to tell me what to do!
Old Yu immediately got angry: "Alright, alright, we don't need you here, get out!"
Yu Wei was stunned by the scolding and didn't know what to do. He couldn't very well argue with his own father in the hospital room, could he? So he could only look to his mother, Zheng Aiying, for help.
She had rushed over in a hurry, only to be treated like this. Tang Yuan didn't know what to say. She could only stand next to Yu Wei and gently tug at him, telling him not to mind. Actually, she was also a little unhappy herself.
Zheng Aiying, feeling sorry for her son and daughter-in-law, rushed over only to be met with a cold shoulder. Naturally, she was displeased: "You old hag! Your son and Tang Yuan rushed over to see you, and you're scolding them? Are you just bored and looking for trouble?"
Huang Xiaochuan quickly and gently patted his wife's waist, signaling Yu Xiang to go and persuade her.
"Dad! Yu Wei was just worried about you. If you hadn't gone out today, this wouldn't have happened. You'd be in serious trouble tomorrow." Yu Xiang naturally sided with her mother and brother. If her father hadn't been so disobedient, this wouldn't have happened.
At this point, Huang Xiaochuan stepped forward and added, "Two cuts! We'll need to make another cut when we remove the steel plate!"
Well! When Old Yu saw this, he was furious. His son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and even his wife were all blaming him. He was so angry that he used his good right hand to pull the blanket over his head and face, not wanting to pay any attention to them.
"Yu Wei, let's go outside and chat for a while!" Seeing his father-in-law's reaction, Huang Xiaochuan called Yu Wei to the reception room outside.
"This old man is becoming increasingly deaf to what others say." Yu Wei was still somewhat annoyed when they arrived at the reception room.
Huang Xiaochuan said matter-of-factly, "Alright, that's enough! Dad's not a child anymore; he already knows he was wrong. Besides, Mom's already talking to him, and you're still adding fuel to the fire. No wonder the old man gets angry with you!"
Huang Xiaochuan understands that older people have a habitual way of thinking: they refuse to admit they are old and always think they can do it themselves. So, as long as they can do it themselves, they will never bother others. Even if others think they can't do something, they will still try.
Old Yu is like that. He always thinks that as long as he is careful, he will not slip and fall. But he forgets that he is almost seventy years old now. Although his brain is still very sharp, his hand-foot coordination has deteriorated and his balance is not as good as when he was young. With such heavy snow, the probability of falling is naturally high.
Despite his anger, Yu Wei was still his own father, and asked with concern, "What's the situation now?"
Huang Xiaochuan briefly explained the situation: "It's alright, the problem isn't too serious. He has a fractured left forearm and a fractured pelvis. Tonight, he'll receive intravenous fluids to reduce swelling and pain. Tomorrow morning, Shi Lei will personally perform the surgery on the old man."
Hearing that Shi Lei would be the surgeon himself, Yu Wei was completely relieved. He knew Shi Lei well, since Shi Lei's wife, Ji Mei, was his sister's best friend, and he had to respectfully call Shi Lei "brother." He also knew Shi Lei's skill level. Several times, when some of his colleagues had family matters and couldn't get an appointment with Shi Lei, Yu Wei had helped them contact him.
Yu Wei asked about Shi Lei's whereabouts: "Where is Brother Shi Lei?"
"He and your sister Mei have been here for half the afternoon. Dad doesn't have anything to do right now, so I let them go. There are so many patients waiting for them; it wouldn't be right to let them stay here with Dad forever, would it?"
"That's true!" Yu Wei expressed his understanding. He knew how busy Ji Mei and Shi Lei were at work every day. Ruijin had a high level of medical care, and patients came in an endless stream, so the doctors here naturally had a lot to do.
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan took the initiative to talk to Yu Wei about Yu Min: "Your sister has already called your second sister about the old man's injury. She and Zhiyuan are very anxious. They originally planned to drive over tomorrow, but as you know, the weather has been bad lately, and it's not safe on the road. So I had someone check the weather forecast for tomorrow and plan to charter a helicopter to Qingjiang to pick up Yu Min and Zhiyuan."
Yu Wei wasn't surprised at all by Huang Xiaochuan's arrangement. He knew all too well what kind of ability and strength his childhood friend and brother-in-law possessed. It was just that Qingjiang didn't have an airport. If it did, he was absolutely certain that his brother-in-law would send a private jet to pick him up.
So, helicopters are just child's play!
The surgery was arranged, and the surgeon was a nationally renowned orthopedic expert. His second sister's family would also be picked up and taken to Shanghai tomorrow, so Yu Wei had nothing to worry about. He sat down. He had been driving for a long time, and his nerves were on edge. There were many cars on the road, too many minor accidents causing traffic jams, and the road was slippery, so he didn't dare to brake hard. It was really tiring driving all this way!
Now that my tense nerves have finally relaxed, this feeling of fatigue has naturally followed.
"Tired?"
Yu Wei lay down on the sofa in the meeting room, adopting a position that made him as comfortable as possible, and replied, "Damn, I was startled when I got the call, so I quickly asked for leave and rushed to the hospital with Tang Yuan. The journey was harder than Sun Wukong's journey to the West. I didn't even dare to take the elevated highway; if I had, Tang Yuan and I would probably still be stuck in traffic on the elevated highway right now!"
Huang Xiaochuan knew that Yu Wei's words were not an exaggeration at all. Traffic in Shanghai was usually quite congested. In addition, when the elevated road was designed and built, the relevant departments had little experience and made too conservative estimates of the future growth of motor vehicles. As a result, there were several key nodes on the elevated road that were heavily congested during peak hours, and there were traffic jams every day.
Adding to the woes of the terrible weather, traffic in Shanghai today was a complete disaster. It was a miracle that Yu Wei and Tang Yuan were able to get to the hospital in nearly two hours.
"Where is Yu Chengping?" Yu Wei suddenly remembered his son.
Huang Xiaochuan told him, "Oh! Your sister has been picked up and taken to my house. She should be with Xiaodong and Xiaoduo now."
Yu Wei was finally relieved.
Huang Xiaochuan then offered a suggestion: "Alright, I think you and Tang Yuan shouldn't go back tonight. Mom will probably have to stay at the hospital with Dad tonight. You two can just stay at my place! Besides, my house is close to the hospital, so it'll be convenient for you to take care of him."
Yu Wei sat up, ran his hand through his hair, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's definitely more convenient!"
