At the hospital gate, they didn't say much after meeting. Xie Ruidong, who was tired of work, had red eyes and unkempt beard. He nodded when he saw Zhang Lan, and then the two of them walked towards the hospital.

Some things don't need to be said too much. After Xie Ruidong and Huang Shasha met, they briefly asked about the child's condition, then sat on a chair aside and started making phone calls.

The child could not be seen in the intensive care unit. Xie Ruidong should have helped a lot of people along the way while resting. After making a phone call, he got up and waited at the door of the intensive care unit.

After a while, a doctor came out of the intensive care unit. Xie Ruidong saw him and said hello quickly.Then several people walked to the corridor nearby, and this time the doctor said something different.

Because of the entrustment and the passage of time, the doctor made it very clear to Xie Ruidong this time that the child had become conscious in the afternoon and could blink in response to talking to her after opening her eyes.

Although it is still within the critical period today, as long as the condition does not worsen, the machine can be gradually removed after another day of observation tomorrow.

Xie Ruidong asked whether the child's illness would have any sequelae, if so, what methods could be used to alleviate it, and if not, whether some medicine should be added to avoid it.

The doctor told him that this could not be determined yet because the child had just become conscious, and any injuries could not be determined until his condition stabilized and he was transferred from the ICU to a general ward.

However, the doctor also made it clear to Xie Ruidong and Huang Shasha that they must be mentally prepared. It is impossible for such a serious illness to have ECMO and almost die without any problems.

But as for the sequelae, the child is still young and all parts of her body are still developing. We cannot say that one illness will determine her whole life.

Even if there are any bad symptoms at the beginning, if you wait for a long time and strengthen recovery and exercise, you may be able to recover.So parents should not worry about this issue now. The most important thing now is to save lives.Other factors will have to wait until life is saved.

The doctor told Xie Ruidong about his daughter's condition for more than half an hour. Later, a nurse came out and called his name, and then he hurried towards the ICU.

After the doctor left, Xie Ruidong sighed and sat on the steps. He took out a cigarette, opened it, took out one, raised his head and handed it to Zhang Lan.

Seeing Zhang Lan waving his hand, Xie Ruidong put away the cigarette and put it back in his pocket, and said to Zhang Lan: "When the child comes out, I will bother Zhang Lan to trouble you and see if there are any other problems."

"Zhang Lan, have you eaten? How about I wait here while you and Xie Ruidong find a place to eat." Huang Shasha said from the side.

Xie Ruidong stood up and nodded and said: "Let's go downstairs to find a place to eat. Shasha, have you eaten? Why don't we go together? Just go downstairs and find a place to eat."

Huang Shasha shook her head and said, "Just go with Zhang Lan. I've already eaten. I'm waiting here. If a doctor calls out and needs something, I can buy it."

Seeing Xie Ruidong's eyes turning to him, Zhang Lan waved his hand and said quickly: "I have just eaten, so if you can't ask me to stay here, Huang Shasha, you go find a place to rest for a while, and wait for Boss Xie to come back from dinner tonight." Just leave him here."

Xie Ruidong took out his cell phone, looked at it and said, "Yes, Shasha, why don't you take a rest for a while. Xiaoqiang will come over with his things later, and I'll keep watch tonight, so you can leave it alone."

As courtesy comes and goes, Xie Ruidong simply ordered takeout on his mobile phone. While eating, a young man walked in carrying a large bag and a roll of moisture-proof mat.

After seeing Xie Ruidong eating something on the corridor, he quickly shouted: "Brother Dong, I brought you something, where should I put it?" Xie Ruidong said, "Put it by the wall first, I'll see where it goes later You can lie down and don't block the way. Xiaoqiang, are you okay tonight? If not, help me stay up all night. I'm afraid of falling asleep in the middle of the night."

Seeing the man nodding, Xie Ruidong said to Zhang Lan beside him: "Zhang Lan, I don't want to say any kind words to you. I know you have a lot of things to do, so just go and do it. When will my daughter be discharged from the hospital? I’ll go find you for a drink sometime.”

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Not for a while, I will also stay here tonight, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Xie Ruidong waved his hand and said: "We are not allowed to see anyone here, and we don't need to take care of the patients. I just sit here and wait for the doctor to call you if there is anything wrong. There is no need to stay here."

After taking a few more bites of rice, Xie Ruidong stood up and threw the remaining fast food into the trash can.He said to Xiaoqiang, a young man on the side: "Xiaoqiang, please stay here and look at me for a while. When the doctor wants to call you, call me. I'll take Zhang Lan downstairs."

After that, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan said, "Come on, Zhang Lan. Someone will be here. Let's go down and sit for a while. It's too stuffy in here."

After leaving the building, he walked a few steps and found a deserted step to sit down. Xie Ruidong took out a cigarette from his pocket and said to Zhang Lan beside him, "Want one?"

Seeing that Zhang Lan was still shaking his head, Xie Ruidong took out one and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he took a big puff and then exhaled a long breath and said: "What the hell is this? It's such a big little bean. If you’re hospitalized, you’re hospitalized.”

Zhang Lan leaned on the railing nearby and said calmly: "Life is unpredictable, and no one knows what accident will happen next moment. Just face it well."

Xie Ruidong sighed: "Originally, I was planning to take root in Western Xinjiang, but now I think it's better to come back. I don't care if I am alone. If something like today happens again, it will be too late to regret it."

"Family, country, country, there is always something that has to be sacrificed. Just think about it clearly. If you change your mind, tell people as soon as possible. Don't let you come back when the time comes." Zhang Lan said casually.

Xie Ruidong shook his head: "I will definitely come back, but after becoming a deserter, I will basically be like this for the rest of my life."

"Just be mentally prepared, but I remember that this should be a three-year cycle. How many years have you been in Xijiang?" Zhang Lan asked.

"It will be three years next year. I plan to come back when it expires." Xie Ruidong replied.

"Can you be considered a deserter when your time limit expires?" Zhang Lan asked casually.

Xie Ruidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Originally, I planned to take root, and my position was promoted quickly. But now that I have to be transferred back, basically these three years have been wasted. But it's okay, I can have more jobs when I come back. It’s time to spend time with my daughter, and then I, a loser, won’t attract the same attention as before.”

Seeing Xie Ruidong pretending to be relaxed, Zhang Lan refused to comment.You have to walk your own path, and you know best whether the shoes fit your feet.Because of Bai Yueguang, Xie Ruidong paid a huge price.

Looking back to today, Xie Ruidong took the lessons he learned before into consideration and is much better than before. (End of chapter)
