The day I shared a flat with my female boss

First put the duck's feet into the pot, boiled for 15 minutes, five mature out, remove the bone and palm hard cocoon, and then put the spices and Magnolia into it, mixed, refreshing and delicious! This dish has a long history. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty especially liked this dish.

My hometown is a water town. Every family raises ducks. Ducks are a common dish at home, and their practices have their own merits. The old people here often say that when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, a cook in our place was chosen to make ducks for Qianlong! Empress Dowager Cixi also likes to eat ducks!

As for whether the "goldfish and duck's feet" that my mother will make is the "goldfish and duck's feet" that Empress Dowager Cixi ate, there is no way to verify.

My mother has been busy from morning to evening, which is the end of the project.

"Goldfish and duck's feet" are still stewing on the pot, and the fragrance of spices and magnolias has been floating all over the yard.

Xi'er and I are sitting in the yard playing with our laptop. We are looking at some of the location photos taken in the city last time. The TV advertising production company has already sent several photos before the festival, and the rest can only be developed after the festival.

Looking at it, our attention began to lose focus. The aroma of "goldfish and duck's feet" was really attractive!

I put my hand on Xi'er's nose and said with a smile, "isn't it bad to be my mother's daughter-in-law? At least it's a good mouth, isn't it? "

Xi'er pounced on me to pinch my nose. I dodged and said with a smile, "I'll let my mother teach you the cooking skills! Then I'll have a good mouth! "

Xi'er said, "you mean to say. My food is hard to swallow, isn't it? "

I said: "your cooking skills have improved, but compared with my mother and your sister, you have to continue to work hard!"

Xi'er clamped my neck, put her hand over my mouth and nose and said, "since the food I cooked is so bad, you still eat so delicious every time!"

I said, "but Better than starving to death... " Because my mouth and nose were covered by Xi'er, so I spoke with a certain amount of voice.

"Good for you!" Xi'er said angrily, "you're not married yet. You're starting to dislike me now, aren't you? No conscience

I said: "I'm just talking about it. I'll give you some pressure. Only when there is pressure can there be motivation! How is a good daughter-in-law made? It's made under all kinds of pressure! "

Xi'er reached for my neck and saw my mother come out of the kitchen with a basin. She immediately let me go, pretending to love to me, said: "dear! Shall I help you with your back

Collapse! You are too good at face project!

It's just an accident at this time! My mom had an accident!

My mother had an accident when she splashed water out with a plate!

The water in the basin had not been completely splashed out. Just as she finished the splashing action, the basin in her hand fell to the ground with a bang

My mother called "ouch", backhand to support the waist, the body froze.

I jumped up from my chair and ran to my mother

"Ma! What's the matter with you? " I cried.

I ran to help my mother. My mother held her waist and hung a face full of pain. Although she tried to restrain herself, the pain still came from her expression and her eyes

Xi'er also ran over: "Mom, what's the matter with you?"

With one hand, my mother supported her, and with the other hand, she waved toward Xi'er powerlessly. She was still too painful to speak

I said, "Mom! Is it the waist

My mother frowned and nodded.

I turned to Xi'er and said, "go! Bring me that chair! "

The chair came over. I helped my mother sit down on the chair. I know my mother's lumbar disease is getting worse again! It is said that the action of pouring water out is the most likely to induce or aggravate lumbar disc herniation!

My mother sat on the chair for a moment and eased slightly.

She waved to me and said, "son Mom, it's OK. Don't be nervous Just have a rest... "

Looking at my mother's painful look and relaxed look, I have made up my mind to persuade my mother to do the operation of lumbar disc herniation in any case!

Moreover, my mother's lumbar spondylosis became worse this time. She couldn't sit in the chair any more. Finally, we had to help her back to the house and lie down! And still can't lie flat, can only lie on the side, still can't pad pillow, even so, mother is still suffering!

I am very clear that this is not the most difficult time, the most difficult time is at night! Night, for many serious patients with lumbar disc herniation, it is really a long night ah! Life is not like death!

That night, my mother was still unable to get out of bed, so we had to bring the meal to her bed. I wanted to feed her, but my mother refused. She said that if she needed to feed her children, there would be no point in her life!

Mom's words made my heart hurt, like being stabbed by the awl on the sole of my shoes!

I had to use a quilt behind my mother, she leaned on the quilt, just barely eat something!Goldfish and duck's feet are delicious! But this dinner, we all had some difficulty!

Gu Tong looked at me and said, "brother, what should I do?" Her eyes have turned red.

Xi'er looked at me and said, "send mom to the hospital tomorrow morning."

I nodded and said: "I don't know if there are experts in the treatment of lumbar diseases here! Mom is so old, this operation must be in place in one step! If something goes wrong, mom can't afford another operation! "

Xi'er looked down for a moment, then looked up at me and said, "why don't you take mom to the seaside! There should be well-known orthopedic experts there! "

I put down the bowl and chopsticks. I couldn't eat any more. I lit a cigarette and took two mouthfuls. I looked up at Xi'er and said, "let me think about it tonight."

Xi'er looked at me and said, "in terms of money, you don't have to think about it. It's important to treat the disease!"

I know what Xi'er means, but I bow my head and say nothing. I can't always ask a woman to borrow money, can I?

That night, Xi'er went directly into my bedroom after taking a bath. I was sitting by the bed smoking

Xi'er came over, hugged me and said softly, "husband, what else do you think about? It's so sad to see my mother suffering like that! "

I slowly raised my head, looked at Xi'er and said, "I don't know how to persuade my mother? My mother is a strong woman in her heart

"Husband, let me do this! I have a way to persuade mom to go to Binhai for surgery! " Xi'er looked at me and said with a smile.

I looked at her and said, "you?"

Xi'er pouted and said, "what? Don't believe your wife? Don't underestimate your wife's ability, OK? "

I lowered my head and took two puffs. Then I looked up at Xi'er and sighed, "let's go to talk to mom tomorrow morning!"

"What are you waiting for tomorrow morning?" Xi'er glanced at me and said, "I'll go to my mother now! I'm sure I can persuade mom to have an operation! "

I looked at Xi'er and couldn't figure out how she could persuade my mother?

Xi'er raised her hand and patted her chest and said with a smile, "believe me! husband! I promise to finish the task! "

Xi'er shakes her slightly wet hair, suddenly turns around and walks out of the bedroom

At noon the next day, my mother and I were already in Binhai city.

Together with my mother, I packed a van and drove from small town to Binhai city. In my mother's special situation, it's not suitable to travel by car or train. I can only pack a van. I put a steel wire bed in the van, and my mother can lie on it to rest.

Xi'er drives Ferrari and Gu Tong together. We agreed to meet at the entrance of Binhai orthopedic hospital. When we arrived, Xi'er and Gu Tong had been waiting there.

We helped mom down from the van and walked to the hospital door.

I looked at Xi'er anxiously and said, "today is October 8th, and the hospital will not go to work until tomorrow. Is there an authoritative expert on duty in the hospital now?"

Xi'er said to me with a smile: "husband! Don't worry about this! I've arranged everything on the phone. At the moment, the best orthopedic expert in Binhai is sitting in the expert clinic! No registration fee

I looked at Xi'er, blinked and said, "really?"

Xi'er said with a smile: "of course! Believe me, believe yourself! Hey, hey

My heart move, this time Xi'er can help me a lot! Not only convinced my mother to do surgery in Binhai, but also helped us contact the best orthopedic experts in Binhai!

I still don't know how Xi'er convinced my mother when she was in her room last night? It's a miracle! To my mother's character, my mother can promise to do the operation is good, not to mention to Binhai city to do the operation!

Orthopedic experts carefully checked my mother's body, and roughly looked at some plain films and examinations that my mother had taken before, and then arranged my mother to take anteroposterior and lateral lumbar X-ray films, as well as lumbar magnetic resonance imaging, so as to understand the current specific situation

during the time when my mother went to the radiology department for examination, orthopedic experts talked to me once.

Orthopedic experts said that judging from his experience, in fact, he has basically determined my mother's condition without waiting for the results of light film and lumbar magnetic resonance examination!

Orthopedic experts said that my mother's lumbar disc has been deformed and broken, because of spinal fusion, leading to adjacent segment degeneration instability! The situation is very bad!

Orthopedic experts also took out a book on orthopedics, pointing to a paragraph of text to let me understand.

The indications of lumbar disc herniation were as follows:

1 recurrent low back pain was significantly greater than leg pain. The lumbar movement was limited. There was no obvious radiation pain. 4 has received standard non-surgical treatment. The history of lumbago was more than one year. Discography confirmed discogenic low back pain.

I read it carefully. Although I don't know much about some medical terms, I obviously feel that my mother's lumbar disease has all six!

I felt my nose, looked at the orthopedic expert and said, "doctor! Do you mean my mother can only receive surgery now? "

Orthopedic expert nodded: "must operate! And the sooner the better! "Then he explained to me a lot about the treatment of lumbar disease.
