Merchant and doctor

The red sun is rising, and the morning glow is bright.

A sunny and boundless morning slowly unfolds outside the window.

Holding two freshly peeled boiled eggs in his hand, he ate them while admiring the colorful urban morning scenery outside the window.

Bian Mu likes to watch the morning glow, looking at it, he feels that the future is full of hope.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"It's so early! Who is this?" Wondering in his heart, Bian Mu turned back to the writing desk and picked up his phone to check.

Unfamiliar number.

"Hello! Who is it?"

"Are you Dr. Bian Mu? I'm really sorry to disturb you so early. Life forces me to do nothing... Wu Fenglan is my mother. They said you have something to do with me?"

"Oh... hello! It's okay, we are doctors, as long as the patient needs it, we have to get up in the middle of the night! Besides, at this point, people who have the habit of getting up early may have already eaten breakfast. I don't mind. But... about your mother's condition, wouldn't it be better for us to have a face-to-face meeting?" On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu suggested that the two should have a face-to-face meeting.

"I'm really sorry! Unfortunately, my wife's company suddenly disintegrated for no reason. The boss disappeared overnight. It happened in the past few days. His salary has been in arrears for more than three months. I can only rely on the little money I earn, you don’t know, in our line of work, if we miss the time of picking fish in the early morning, the fish we get will be hard to sell, alas! Picking fish is like fighting... No matter what Said, after all, she is my own mother, I just called you as soon as I stopped, is my mother's situation not good?" On the other end of the phone, the biological daughter of VIP patient Wu Fenglan described her in a complicated tone. difficulties.

"Oh... There is such a thing! Understand, understand! It's okay, we can talk on the phone. Your mother is also chronically ill, and it will take a long time to treat it. Or... let's make an appointment another day. place to talk in detail?"

"This... I thought my mother's condition had suddenly worsened. I feel relieved when you say that! Your hospital registration fee is quite expensive. It would be disrespectful if I asked you to go elsewhere. My husband has already asked about it. Yes, you are an amazing 'red doctor', I guess you may want to learn about my mother's special situation from me, so as to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment, in fact...how should I put it...I have a good life Those who fail may not be able to give you any help..."

"It doesn't matter. Your mother is not in danger at the moment. You should go about your business with peace of mind! How about this? I will come to you when it is convenient for you. It can still help me." On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu planned to make another appointment to have a good chat with Ms. Wu's daughter.

"Then... Oh! Who told her to give birth to me! What time do you go to work?"

"Eight O'clock!"

"Then I'll rush to the hospital right now and meet you before you go to work, do you think so?"

"Okay! There is a small garden near the south gate of our hospital. It is the property of our hospital. There are no people there at the moment. Let's meet there!"

"Okay! Thank you for your understanding! It will take me more than 20 minutes to take a taxi there, won't it delay your work?"

"It's okay! We can chat in the consultation room without registering. I have the final say on this matter, hehe... You don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to take a taxi here. When will you arrive, give me a call, and I will go down to pick you up! "

"It's really troublesome for you! See you later!"

"You really don't have to worry, slow down on the road!"

"Thank you!" After finishing speaking, the daughter of the patient, Ms. Wu, hung up the phone.

……

At a quarter past seven in the morning, Bian Mu met the daughter of the patient Ms. Wu in the small garden at the south gate of the hospital.

Ms. Wu's daughter is only in her early forties. Looking at her eyes, her actual age should be younger, maybe 34 or [-]. She has been working in the farmers' market for many years, exposed to the wind and the sun, and working hard day and night. She is younger than her peers. People age much faster.

"What do you want to know, I will know everything, and I will talk endlessly."

"What education do you have?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Ms. Wu's daughter was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a shameful face: "Junior college."

"What professional?"

"Electric Automation."

"Then how do you work in aquatic products?"

"Ah! Fate! The unit went bankrupt and reorganized within a few years of working. I failed the so-called optimization assessment and had to fend for myself."

"I'm sorry! As a doctor, I shouldn't have asked about your three family affairs, but your mother's psychological world is rather peculiar, which is also one of the root causes of her serious illness. This can be perceived more clearly through the pulse, so... Please forgive me."

"It's okay. After all, she is my own mother. As long as it helps her follow-up treatment, you can just ask, and I won't hide anything."

"With your mother's financial conditions and ability, even if your original unit went bankrupt, wouldn't it be easy for her to find you a suitable job?" Bian Mu asked puzzled.

"You don't know that my relationship with my mother is not normal. Since I officially went to work, she has basically stopped caring about me. Don't be afraid of your jokes. On the day I got married, she just sent someone to send 1 yuan. , and haven’t been in touch since.”

"Is there no connection at all?"

"I mean she unilaterally interrupted our contact. As long as she is not particularly resistant, I will still greet her from time to time."

"Thanks to you being more reasonable than her, otherwise, it would be hard to find the root cause of her illness!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Really? That's fine..."

"For many years, your mother has had a problem in her heart. For this reason, she has been in constant internal friction, that is, the kind of constant calculation. This special life directly destroyed her vitality system. She understands medicine to some extent, and has no shortage of money in her hands. She has survived until today. Can you help me recall? What is she planning? Or in other words, what is she busy with so much at the expense of her health? I mean What matters is the mental aspect." Bian Mu described the problem he wanted to understand as accurately as possible.

"This... how could I know... I have been living in her blind spot since I was a child, so... there are many things at home and outside, and I know almost nothing..." Ms. Wu's daughter replied helplessly.

"At the beginning, you were reluctant to delay your own business because of her. Later, when you heard that your mother's treatment was helpful, you immediately took a taxi and came here. This shows that you still have feelings for her. Based on this, as long as you put your heart into it Recalling the memory, I should be able to recall something. Let me remind you from another angle. For ten years, does your mother have any special life content that is particularly persistent and unique to her peers? Especially the kind that requires a lot of brainpower, and even If it involves mathematics, advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry are also fine." Bian Mu reminded patiently.

"This...she is a math genius, very smart since she was a child, you mentioned physics, chemistry... formulas, calculations... oh... I remembered, did you mean that thing...impossible... ...She's not that confused, is she?" At this point, Ms. Wu's daughter interrupted her train of thought again.

"What you think is impossible may be the root cause of her illness!" Bian Mu replied with certainty.

"That...that matter is related to my grandfather. My grandfather was a mining engineer. A few months before his death, I heard that his sanity was not clear and he was full of nonsense. When I was born, my grandfather had passed away for many years. These I heard it from relatives at home. At that time, my grandpa always said that he seemed to have discovered a gold mine, and he seemed to have drawn pictures. My mother would not believe it?! I have been thinking about this for many years ?!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but his eyes brightened.

"It's really possible! The important information you provided is really not too far from my guess, but I never dreamed of gold mines, ha ha... I think it's your mother who has been conquering something that will never happen. Questions with conclusions or something, hehe... Think about it carefully, is there any factual fact in the so-called gold mine that your mother remembers to prove that I am not guessing?"

"Let's think about it... One year, she suddenly called me and asked me to go to Nantuoling of Cuiwei Mountain a few times, and my husband said she was crazy!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu decided that his guess was not wrong at all.
