Medical road ahead

"I was a soldier in 1943. I might have been 18 or 19 then."

After a week of observation in the intensive care unit, Mr. Han Liangzhong was transferred to Wang Kun's ward to accompany him and continue to receive the hospital's disease treatment and nutrition therapy.

After learning that the two anti-war heroes were admitted to the hospital, Uncle Bai became a frequent visitor to this ward. He came here to sit and listen to the two veterans talk about the guns and battles of the past.

Han Liangzhong is ninety-six this year. As soon as he sat there, the other two old men in their 80s and [-]s immediately became younger brothers, surrounding him, looking at him with admiration and admiration.

"It's less than 20 anyway."

Recalling with his fingers, Han Liangzhong found that he didn't seem to remember clearly, so he waved his hand and continued: "That year, I just glanced at the recruitment promotion materials, and immediately slapped my thigh, and found three young men. Together they defected to the 100rd Regiment of the 75th Division of the 223th Army of the Kuomintang. Because they had studied for a few years, they served as a sergeant quartermaster and spent a long time in Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, responsible for escorting military rations to the front.”

"Then this task is quite dangerous!" Uncle Bai said with emotion.

"You must be injured, or even get shot."

Wang Kun, who had also been on the battlefield, thought so.

"Damn! Our comrades who are fighting on the front line are not in danger. However, I still couldn't escape being injured, so here it is"

Han Liangzhong pointed to his waist and said: "The Anti-Japanese War was just about to be won, but I was shot when I was escorting the army rations and was sent to the rear hospital for treatment. I missed the grand occasion of witnessing the surrender of the Japanese devils."

After speaking, he shook his head regretfully.

"Then what happened later? When did you join our party?" Wang Kun asked curiously.

"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I didn't want the Chinese to fight the Chinese, so I revolted and surrendered and returned to my hometown. After liberation, I was admitted to the Agricultural Bank of China. During my tenure, because of my good performance, I made an exception and joined the party." Han Liangzhong recalled.

"Old Han, compared with you, my little experience is nothing." Wang Kun said modestly.

"You are all heroes, and I am not worth mentioning." Uncle Bai smiled blushingly.

"Xiaobai, although you have never been on the battlefield, I heard that you donated all your belongings in the earthquake that year. Why is it not an honorable achievement? In times of war, it is heroic to die for the country, but In peaceful times, selfless dedication is also a kind of heroic act!"

Han Liangzhong patted him on the shoulder, speaking emphatically and affectionately.

"Money is something outside of the body. Compared with life, it's really nothing."

Uncle Bai hurriedly waved his hands, extremely modest.

"Speaking of life, I thought I was going to belch this time."

Han Liangzhong looked at the two and recalled his experience when he became ill. "Recently, the weather has turned hot, and I coughed worse. I went to the community clinic for several infusions, but nothing improved until I fell ill. That morning, I felt dizzy when I woke up, and I was about to call out when suddenly my eyes turned black and my ears buzzed, and within two seconds, I fell out of bed."

After a pause, he picked up the water glass and drank a couple of sips of water, moistened his throat, and then continued to recall, "When I fainted, I was not completely unconscious. In a daze, I seemed to see two black shadows approaching me. Approaching and following closely, I felt my body float up, but my eyes were in chaos, and I didn’t know where I was. Later, I woke up in the hospital.”

"It's so amazing! However, I'm similar to you, and it was the doctors and nurses in the hospital who snatched me back from death." Wang Kun said.

"Me too." Uncle Bai nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone has walked through the gate of hell, we must celebrate." Han Liangzhong suggested with a smile.

"How to celebrate? We can't smoke or drink now, and even three meals have to be watched by Dr. Qiao." Wang Kun asked puzzled.

"Hey! There are always more solutions than difficulties."

Han Liangzhong smiled wickedly, and took out a roll of leaf cigarettes from the drawer of the bedside table.

"I'm afraid it won't work. All three of us have lung problems." Wang Kun was stunned.

"Yes, Old Han, we have to follow the doctor's advice!" Uncle Bai frowned and nodded.

"The nicotine content of this leaf cigarette is small, as long as we smoke a few puffs, it should be fine. Come, just two puffs per person."

Han Liangzhong gave Ye Ziyan to the other two with a smile.

"This"

Wang Kun and Uncle Bai glanced at each other, but they didn't take it, but they rubbed their hands back and forth, and the Adam's apple slid up and down.

"A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god."

After Han Liangzhong said something to himself, he lit a leaf cigarette, squinted his eyes and smoked.

"call"

He didn't forget to swallow the clouds, causing the other two to swallow their saliva frequently.

"Then take two sips."

Wang Kun rubbed his hands again, glanced at Uncle Bai who was still hesitating, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.

"stop!"

Just when his fingertips were about to touch Ye Ziyan, Qiao Tan's shout suddenly sounded at the door, making him tremble in fright, and he quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind his back.

"I don't smoke, I just want to smell."

He hurriedly explained to Qiao Tan with a red face.

"Me too."

In order to prove his innocence, Uncle Bai raised his buttocks and moved from Han Liangzhong's bed to a stool beside him, keeping a distance from him.

"Uh!"

Han Liangzhong choked, almost choking.

"Ahem...I...I just took a sip or two."

Han Liangzhong hurriedly threw the leaf smoke in his hand into the trash can, and poured the water in the cup into it.

With a sound of "呲啦", the smoke suddenly disappeared, but the aftertaste was still strong.

Qiao Tan swept towards the three of them with a pale face, took a deep breath, and then persuaded earnestly: "Don't think that the nicotine content of Leaf Cigarettes is low, so you can take two puffs casually. Since it is called Cigarettes, then in essence Just like other tobacco, it will not only cause lung infection, if it is more serious, it will also cause diseases such as tuberculosis or pneumonia, what's more, it may also cause liver and kidney function changes."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The three of them nodded together, like children who have done something wrong, they drooped their heads and listened carefully to the training.

"Also, after you smoke here, the smoke left behind is not only harmful to your own respiratory tract and internal organs, but also to the medical staff who came in later. Do you want them to smoke your second-hand smoke?"

"do not wish!"

Han Liangzhong shook his head repeatedly and kept apologizing, "It's all my fault. I became addicted to cigarettes for a while. I promise I will never smoke leaf cigarettes again."

After finishing speaking, he handed Qiao Tan the leaf cigarettes left in the drawer.

"Mr. Han, then I will keep it for you first, and return it to you when your lung disease is cured."

Qiao Tan raised the roll of leaf cigarettes in his hand and smiled in relief.

"Can we wait until that day?" Han Liangzhong frowned.

"You have waited for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the founding of New China, and the reform and opening up, and you will soon have to wait for the founding of the party for a hundred years. Are you still worried that you will not be able to wait until the day when you recover from illness?"

Qiao Tan asked with a smile, his eyes were bright.

"can."

Han Liangzhong seemed to see the dawn and hope in her confident smile, and immediately nodded with confidence, "I want to be a centenarian!"

"Who doesn't want that?"

Wang Kun smiled, embraced Uncle Bai, and then embraced Han Liangzhong, and said confidently: "We are people who want to surpass the age of one hundred."
