A Tooth For a Tooth

As soon as he got off work, Yang Ren got impatient with one call after another. Today is the birthday of his younger sister Kang Xiaomeng, and the whole family gathered together, only him.

"I just got off work, and I'll be home in half an hour. Don't worry, um, I won't miss dinner, don't worry." Yang Ren was talking to the birthday sister in a taxi. He usually took the subway. He only made an exception to lose blood once, but he was still urged.

The car was not driving fast, because at 05:30, the roads in Beijing were almost all impenetrable.Yang Ren couldn't be in a hurry, so he patiently played with his mobile phone, opened Moments habitually, looked at the life complaints of his colleagues, then looked at the chicken soup for the soul sent by the boss, and finally looked at the children's daily life posted by his son's kindergarten teacher photo.

Suddenly there was a hint of excitement, and he hurriedly covered his cheeks, knowing that his teeth hurt again, and he was no longer familiar with this feeling.In the past 30 years of life, toothaches have appeared from time to time, more frequently than women's aunts.Of course, this is not worthy of pity, because it is all self-inflicted.

Although he has already started to run to the third year, Yang Ren still grasped the little tail of youth, he is not bad looking, he is more sunny and handsome.But no matter how glamorous his appearance is, his younger sister will laugh at him: "You look good, open your mouth to see, how many good teeth are there?"

Yang Ren really loves sweets very, very much, especially sugar. I don't know what kind of gene it is, which allows him to bring this child's hobby to adulthood, and now he has brought it to middle age.

Yang Ren's son, Yang Yitong, is four years old this year, and he doesn't like candy as much as he does, so Yang Ren's stepmother always said: Yang Ren ate up all the candy in his son's life.

The toothache still persists. I heard people say that pinching the tiger's mouth can relieve the pain, so every time he has a toothache, he pinches it hard with his hand, which makes the color of the piece of meat much darker than the surrounding area.The tiger's mouth was pinched numb, and the taxi finally pulled him to the door of the house.

Yang Ren's home is an old-fashioned three-bedroom house, each room is small, his parents live in one, his sister lives in one, and he and his son live in one.

The living room is relatively small, and can only accommodate a sofa, TV and a square table. When Yang Ren entered the house, he saw that the whole family had already sat down at this table. Birthday cake box.

The birthday party was originally wonderful, but once the toothache started, he lost his mind and went straight back to the bedroom to lie on the bed and never come out again.

"What's the matter with your dad? It's okay to call just now!" Kang Xiaomeng asked Yang Yitong, who was already hungry. Yang Yitong was also at a loss, licked his upper lip, and asked if he could eat.

Yang Ren's father sighed, and said: "Let's eat, let's eat, don't starve my grandson to death, that kid has a temper, don't talk to him."

Many things are wonderful, such as memories.People are often able to recall many old events through a certain item or a certain scene. Some people may think of their first love when they see cotton candy, and some people may think of their ex when they go to the beach.But for Yang Ren, every time he has a toothache, he will be forced to think of the dentist Xu Yao, which is too hard.

Originally, a boy with bad teeth met a dentist. It should be a story of fate, but his memories were not very good. If he had to find some good places, it could only be a 20-year-old Worth your age.

When the spotlight hit the face of the 20-year-old little fresh meat, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Although he didn't want to appear so vulnerable, his anxious heart still hoped that a big hand could gently hold him down.

Sure enough, a hand was taken out of his widened mouth, and before he had time to catch his breath, the doctor's voice rang in his ears: "Why are you shaking so much?"

"I...afraid..." The numb mouth seemed not to obey his control, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The doctor's face suddenly magnified in front of his eyes, so scared that Yang Ren didn't dare to breathe, and his eyes widened.

"Why, did you have a miserable dental experience?" There was a smile in the man's voice, but the masked face made him unable to see the expression.

Unable to speak, Yang Ren had no choice but to shake his head, his eyes full of sorrow.

"I'm here, you don't have to be afraid."

The doctor's dull voice came from behind the mask, which was even more depressing. Of course Yang Ren was afraid, anyone here would be afraid.

The process of tooth extraction is tormented. Although the body cannot feel pain because of the anesthesia, it is a great mental torture.

Yang Ren didn't dare to open his eyes, and couldn't feel the movement in his mouth, so he could only wait helplessly, waiting for the unknown pain in the next moment.

The doctor finally spoke again, and he told him that the root of the bad tooth was a bit crooked, so a hammer was needed.

This was not a discussion with Yang Ren, and Yang Ren didn't have to express his opinion, he could only watch helplessly as the intern in pale pink nurse uniform brought over the tray with the hammer.

He knows that people must find ways to distract attention when they are extremely nervous and frightened, so he chooses to focus on a certain place. Just as the eyes are ready, the mandible seems to be chiseled open. After all, the five senses are connected. Unexpectedly, when the hammer was chiseled on the teeth, it seemed that the eardrum was pierced, and tears flowed down.

The eyes that had been staring at one place all the time were a little sore, and it took a long time before Yang Ren saw what was in his field of vision. It was a badge with the doctor's name written on it: Xu Yao.

This was the first time Yang Ren and dentist Xu Yao met. At that time, Yang Ren was 20 years old and Xu Yao was 25 years old.
