see you in spring

Chapter 148 Return from recovery [-]

The quilts and mattresses were all ready. Sun Yan turned to Liu Quantao, who was still standing, and said, "Go to bed early."

He knew she was driving him away, but Liu Quantao breathed in the faint fragrance of Sun Yan's facial cream in the room and listened to his sons' shallow breathing, and he didn't want to leave.

"I...want to see my son again." After he finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.

When Liu Quantao was in the hospital, he thought about them all the time.He wanted to touch his son's little face, hold his wife's already rough hands, talk to them, look at them, and stay with them.Even if he didn't say or do anything, he would be content just watching them silently.

Seeing Liu Quantao like this, no matter how angry Sun Yan was, she couldn't harden her heart and drive him away immediately.

"Then don't wake them up."

Seeing that Sun Yan finally agreed to let him stay, he was happy. When he turned around, he saw Sun Yan walking out.

"Where are you going?" he asked anxiously.

"I'm going to the living room to watch TV." Sun Yan didn't want to be in the same room with him. She was afraid that if she couldn't help it, she would reveal all his bad things, and then she would no longer be able to pretend.

Liu Quantao's newly happy mood slowly sank again: "Can you... please don't leave. I want to talk to you."

"I'm tired, you should go to bed early." Sun Yan didn't want to tell him.

She turned to open the door, and the anger he had been suppressing all day finally broke out. He went over and grabbed her wrist: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold to me? Do you know that my only wish in the hospital is to look forward to coming back with you?" When you are reunited, you can tell me any grievances or dissatisfaction you have. If you don't say anything and just show me your face, what does that mean? If you know what you're like when you come back, I might as well stay in the hospital!"

Sun Yan quickly looked at the child on the bed, but fortunately she was not woken up.She breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Liu Quantao, and shook his hand away: "What are you shouting about? Just keep your voice down."

Liu Quantao stretched out his hand to hold her again, and lowered his voice and begged: "Yanzi, I know that my mother has made you suffer a lot. My mother has not received any higher education and has lived in the village all her life. There are many things that we have to do as children." You can't argue with her. If you feel uncomfortable, then you can take it out on me, scold me and hit me, but don't ignore me. Now you and the child are everything to me, don't do this to me, okay? "

After giving birth to the child, Liu Quantao rarely spoke to her in this tone and in this manner.

Sun Yan was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the time when he pursued her in college.

She didn't know what he went through in the hospital, but her heart finally softened.

"All you have is your mother and your brother, it has nothing to do with me and the child." Although her voice was still cold, her tone had softened.

Liu Quantao was silent for a few seconds: "I admit that I did not take enough care of you and the children before. But from now on, I will try my best to be a good father and a good husband. If you are unhappy, you vent your anger on me, but you Don’t ignore me, okay?”

Sun Yan thought about the injustice she had suffered during this period and the pain he and his family had caused her. She clenched her fists and her eyes turned red: "You should take good care of the child. I will take a bath."

"I'll go too." Liu Quantao had made up his mind to follow Sun Yan wherever she went tonight. He couldn't do anything in the hospital before, but now that he's home, he must untie the knot in her heart.

"What are you going to do?" Sun Yan frowned and looked at him impatiently.

"I...I need to take a shower. I couldn't take a shower in the hospital. Now that I'm home, I must take a good shower."

"Then you wash up first." Sun Yan opened the door angrily and let him out.

"I want to take a shower with you." He looked at her.

"Liu Quantao, what are you going to do? Don't you know you just got out of the hospital?" Sun Yan was a little annoyed.She just didn't understand. Apart from that, was there nothing else in this man's mind?

"You... don't think too much. I just want you to rub my back. It's been so long since I've washed it, and my back is covered in dirt." Liu Quantao explained quickly.He is now too full of energy and has not thought about that aspect at all.

Sun Yan didn't even want to say a word to him, let alone have any physical contact with him.But seeing that he didn't want to leave if she didn't agree to it, Sun Yan didn't want to wake up the child, let alone make the matter a big deal, so she could only compromise: "Quickly resolve it."

In the mist-shrouded bathroom, Sun Yan put on her raincoat and rain boots and rubbed the back of Liu Quantao, who had lost weight several times.

Seeing his ribs showing when he bent down, she suddenly felt sad.

Warm water vapor in the bathroom flowed between the two of them. In the dense air, Liu Quantao, who was carrying his back, suddenly spoke slowly and said: "I remember the second day in the hospital, my fever reached over 39 degrees again. At that time, my consciousness was already over. I was not quite sober, so a nurse brought me a basin of hot water and wiped my body to physically cool me down. I was sweating all over and the whole room was hazy. The nurse was wearing a protective suit and was following me. You look very much like you now in your raincoat and rain boots. At that time, I had only one thought: I must come out alive to see you."

Sun Yan's hand wearing the bath towel stopped. He had never told her these things on the phone.

It's understandable when you think about it. When he first entered the hospital, his condition was unstable and he couldn't contact them at all.When he was finally able to contact him later and had already endured the most painful period, if he told them about the bad situation, they would be anxious and unable to help him, so he could only pick up the good news.

"How...how did you survive when you first went there?" Sun Yan was silent for a few seconds and then asked.For the first time since his return, she asked him about therapy.

Liu Quantao was still frightened when he thought of the scene at that time: "When I got into the ambulance from home, my condition was already very bad. The high fever made me collapse and lethargic. At that time, the ambulance took me to the hospital, and the nurses gave me After my whole body was disinfected, I was taken into the ward. I was very worried along the way, not knowing what would happen to me. But strangely enough, when I arrived at the hospital and smelled the smell of disinfectant, I instantly felt at ease. The doctors and nurses acted very quickly. After completing various examinations on me, the nurse gave me a sling. I was feeling groggy and extremely uncomfortable, but I immediately felt better. After that, the nurse measured me. When I checked my body temperature, my body temperature became normal at that time, and I even asked the nurse if I could be discharged from the hospital.”

Liu Quantao paused and glanced at the bathroom heater above his head. The bright light dazzled him, making him feel unreal, as if he was still in the hospital and still going through the heart-wrenching days of uncertainty about life and death.

Sun Yan listened quietly and rubbed her hands slowly for him.

Liu Quantao continued: "Just because the fever subsided, my confidence increased greatly and I felt that I would be saved. On the first night in the hospital, I slept quite well. I thought I would be discharged soon, but I didn't expect that I would be discharged soon. Today I started to have a high fever again. Let alone being discharged from the hospital, I couldn’t even lift my arms.

Sun Yan didn't expect that he would be given a sling in the hospital and would have recurring fevers. She looked at his wrinkled skin due to his rapid weight loss. The man who was so high-spirited more than two months ago now looked like a little old man.

Liu Quantao closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "At that time, I was just relying on my breath, thinking about coming back to reunite with you and your child. With this idea, I was able to eat while enduring nausea and vomiting, and forced myself to The bed moved around, and I finally managed to hold on.”

When he was awake in the hospital, he sometimes used his mobile phone to surf the Internet. He saw news reports from Wucheng, a severely infected area, saying that there were many patients, but the number of hospital admissions allocated every day was extremely limited, and the hospital could only give priority to critically ill patients. , the rest of the patients have to wait in line for admission.Liu Quantao knew that he could be admitted to the hospital smoothly. The hospital used the best treatment plan to treat him regardless of the cost. He was already thousands of times luckier than those patients who were seriously infected in Wucheng. So what did he have? Why don't you try hard to hold on?
Seeing that Sun Yan's hand had lost strength, he said slowly: "I lay like this for two days in the hospital. At the most difficult time, I even wanted to write my last words. Fortunately, the doctors and nurses were encouraging me. Me, when my fever persisted, they stayed by my side and adjusted the treatment in time. It can be said that it was the meticulous care of the doctors and nurses in the hospital that allowed me to recover little by little. The fever After retreating and being treated in the hospital for a week, I took another nucleic acid test, but the result was still positive. I was very depressed at the time, but the doctors and nurses comforted me and said that the CT scan showed improvement, and told me not to lose heart."

"Then what?" Sun Yan asked anxiously.

Seeing that Sun Yan cared about him, Liu Quantao showed a look of relief on his face: "Then, the next day, I started to have a fever again."

Sun Yan's hand paused, she didn't expect that he suffered so much in the hospital.

Liu Quantao reached out and held her hand: "It's okay, it's all over."

Sun Yan came to her senses and wanted to retract her hand, but Liu Quantao held on tightly.

"Are you still rubbing it?" Sun Yan couldn't pull her hand away, so she could only let him hold it.

"Don't rub it for now. Once it's soft, you don't have to exert so much force." He took her hand: "You know, in the hospital, whenever I felt too uncomfortable, I would hold on to the iron tightly. The bed board, at that time I was thinking, how nice it would be if I could hold your hand." He touched her no longer tender hand, paused, and looked at her: "Yanzi, in the past few years I'm running around outside, so you have to work hard at home. From now on, leave all the hard work at home to me, and I will treat you twice as well."

Sun Yan withdrew her hand forcefully: "If you don't rub it, I'll go out first."

"Don't you want to hear about me being in the hospital?" He looked at her with reservations in his eyes.

"It's all over, and you've survived it too. Go forward, don't think too much." She really didn't want to hear it anymore, and she was afraid that the more she listened, her heart would soften.

"But I want you to know." This is a major event in his life, and he wants to tell the important people in his life about these important events.

He said to himself: "Two days later, my fever finally subsided. A few days later, I had a second test. It was negative. I was very happy at the time, and the doctor said to do two more tests." The tests, if they are all negative, I can be discharged.”

He seemed to have returned to that time, and smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, I was negative twice in a row, but the last time it turned out to be positive. To be cautious, the doctor checked me again a week later, and it was still positive. "

"What's going on?" Sun Yan asked.

"During the middle period of treatment, the doctor saw that my condition was stable and they reduced my dosage. The doctor said that this was probably the reason. So they readjusted my dosage. A week later, I took another nucleic acid test. This time it was finally negative again, and the CT scan also showed that my lungs had clearly improved."

Sun Yan's brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed as he spoke.

"Then another week passed and I tested again, and it was still negative. I finally saw the hope of being discharged from the hospital. But at this time, the testing standards and discharge standards were more stringent. I was worried that the next week's test would be in vain if it was positive, so I didn't dare Let me tell you in advance. I didn’t expect that I would test negative three times in a row. At that moment, I finally felt relieved and dared to call you to tell you.”

Sun Yan's expression finally became clear. She didn't know that every time he called, so many things had gone through.

"In the next week, the doctor gradually reduced my medicine, and then gave me medicine to increase immunity. Two days before discharge, I took the last nucleic acid test, and the result came out negative. I was a grown man at the time , I cried in front of the doctors and nurses. I really survived, I can be discharged from the hospital, I can finally get out alive, and I can finally see you."

When Liu Quantao said this, his eyes were red and he choked several times. He took her hand and said, "You know, in the hospital, I see those who are separated from life and death every day. At first, I was angry and felt that it was unfair. There are so many people in the world, why are they so special? Was it just me? But later I finally figured it out. This was God wanting me to know how precious every day of my life is. After I figured it out, I started to be grateful, grateful to God for allowing me to survive, for allowing me to recover, and for allowing me to recover. I can see you again. Although the treatment is painful, many people will not see this spring even after experiencing the pain. So, I am really lucky to be back."

Sun Yan was infected by his emotions and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"In the past, I didn't care enough about you and my children, and I indulged in some seemingly meaningless human relationships. After this time, I finally know that my family is the most precious and important thing to me. Except for life and death, they are all trivial matters. I will never quarrel with you again, and I will listen to you. From now on, I will live every day with you in a down-to-earth manner."

Sun Yan looked at him blankly.After hearing the life and death ordeal he had gone through, and then hearing what he said at this moment, she was indeed shaken.

A voice in her heart said: Live in the present, if he really turns around, for the sake of the children, for the sake of this family, let those things pass.

But another voice said: This thing is always a thorn in the mouth. Even if the wound heals, there is still a bag of pus inside. Can you hold this pus in your mouth for the rest of your life?

Sun Yan was in a complicated mood and was having a fierce struggle in her heart.

"How did you get here during the period of isolation? I'm not afraid of anything in the hospital, I'm just worried about your situation." Liu Quantao asked when she didn't speak.

When he was awake in the hospital, he was extremely worried about whether his family members were really infected by him. He was counting the days every day, but he didn't dare to ask them.He counts the days every day when he wakes up, hoping that those fourteen days will pass quickly.

But after he said this, the voice in Sun Yan's mind that forgave him disappeared.Instead, there were his lies that were full of loopholes and text messages that made her painful and humiliating.

"If you were worried about us, you wouldn't have made the unnecessary trip to Wucheng." She thought of the lies Liu Quantao had told her, and rubbed the towel hard on Liu Quantao's back, causing him to "ouch" in pain.

Liu Quantao gasped in pain: "I, I went to Wucheng on a business trip. It's not unnecessary."

Sun Yan threw the bath towel to the ground and asked angrily: "Liu Quantao, are you still lying to me now? Your boss Wang has already told me that the company did not send you to Wucheng on a business trip. That's your personal behavior. Tell me, what's so important in Wucheng that you have to go there even though it's almost the New Year?"

Liu Quantao didn't expect that Sun Yan's temper would explode in an instant. He turned around and couldn't bear the question: "I...I"

He "I"ed for a long time, but still couldn't tell the reason.

Sun Yan couldn't hold it in any longer. She sneered and blurted out: "What? Do you dare to do it or not? You have pushed me and my children into such a dangerous situation for the sake of women outside. Just because you are infected, we are We also received various inquiries from various agencies, including property management, community, epidemic prevention stations, and health inspection commissions. The neighbors next door all regard us as public enemies. Now you still have the nerve to pretend to be worried about us? "
