Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Early the next morning, Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang set off together for Guangzhou.
Niu Chunsheng was feeling unwell, so he had Lin Xiaofang drive.
He sat in the back seat, keeping his son company.
Niu Zhigao was very well-behaved, sitting in his safety seat, playing with number toys with his dad, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Quiet like a little adult.
And he's not even three yet, but he already knows addition and subtraction within ten.
In terms of personality, he formed a stark contrast with Niu Linxin.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already past eight in the morning.
Because the physical exam required blood draws and urine tests, Niu Chunsheng hadn't eaten or drunk anything.
Lin Xiaofang hadn't had time to eat either; she just prepared milk for her son.
At the hospital entrance, cars and horses flowed like a dragon, people coming and going.
Even livelier than the vegetable market in the county town.
Lin Xiaofang drove the car into the hospital's underground garage, barely managed to find a parking spot, went up to the hospital's first floor, and by then it was already nine o'clock.
Following the signs, they went to the physical examination department to check in, then queued to get forms for the exams.
Lin Xiaofang had also booked Niu Chunsheng a painless gastroscopy exam item, but when they got the forms they found out this item couldn't be done now; they'd have to book another time.
As for why they had to rebook, it was because this gastroscopy exam required completely clearing out the stomach and intestines first — meaning drinking some laxatives the night before, then going for the exam the next day.
Niu Chunsheng hadn't taken that laxative, so naturally he couldn't do the exam.
"What time do you want to book?"
The nurse in charge of orders asked Niu Chunsheng.
Niu Chunsheng asked:
"When's the earliest?"
The nurse checked the schedule:
"The earliest is tomorrow morning — there's a slot because another patient cancelled at the last minute, we can let you fill it. If you don't choose tomorrow morning, you might have to book for next Monday."
Niu Chunsheng thought for a moment:
"Oh, then tomorrow morning it is."
The nurse brought out two large packets and a small bottle of medicine for Niu Chunsheng.
Niu Chunsheng looked at the packaging on the two large packets; written on them were the two words "He Shuang" — this is a kind of Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Powder, a common medical laxative.
As for that small bottle of medicine, its name is Simethicone, also called defoaming medicine.
The nurse instructed:
"Starting today, don't eat coarse fiber, dark-colored, or seeded foods. Suggest eating white congee, noodles, steamed eggs, tofu, these kinds of things. Then after six in the evening, don't eat any more food. After ten at night, don't drink water — this is very important, remember?"
Niu Chunsheng nodded: "Mm-hmm, got it."
The nurse continued:
"These two packets of He Shuang, drink the first packet between seven and eight in the evening. One packet mixed with 1000 milliliters of warm boiled water, drink 250 milliliters every 15 minutes, finish within one hour. Remember not to chug it all at once, easy to get nauseous and vomit. If you vomit, you won't achieve the effect. After drinking, walk around more, rub your belly more, try to have more bowel movements."
Niu Chunsheng nodded:
"Okay okay, got it."
The nurse continued:
"The second packet of He Shuang, drink between four and five in the early morning. Also mix with 1000 milliliters of water, finish within two hours, best within one and a half hours if you can. Also, pay attention: when there's about 200 milliliters left, add this defoaming medicine, then drink them together. Don't forget to take this defoaming medicine — its function is to clear intestinal bubbles, lets the gastroscopy see more clearly!"
Niu Chunsheng nodded:
"Good good, got it!"
After the nurse finished instructing, she also gave Niu Chunsheng a sheet of paper with detailed precautions for before the gastroscopy, in case the patient forgot the instructions after going back.
Niu Chunsheng took the medicine back and couldn't help muttering:
"Didn't expect a gastroscopy to be this troublesome. If I'd known, I wouldn't have done it."
Lin Xiaofang asked:
"What's up?"
Niu Chunsheng said:
"Earliest is tomorrow morning, and I still have to drink this stuff in the middle of the night."
Niu Chunsheng took out the He Shuang to show Lin Xiaofang.
Lin Xiaofang comforted him:
"It's fine. However troublesome, it's just tonight's business. We'll go find a guesthouse nearby to stay. I brought a can of the baby's milk powder, completely enough. We'll just solve meals casually."
Niu Chunsheng nodded, then said:
"I'll go give blood, then go do B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and other items."
Niu Chunsheng finished giving blood, left urine, then ate breakfast, then went to check B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, CT, and other items.
By the time they were done, it was already nearly twelve noon.
The results of these exams wouldn't come out that fast; they could only wait slowly.
The two went outside and casually ate lunch, then went to find a hotel nearby to check in.
As for dinner, it was also dealt with casually.
Because the Nurse instructed him, Niu Chunsheng could only eat white Congee, steamed egg custard, Tofu, and other things that were light in Color and easy to digest.
In the Evening, Lin Xiaofang's Mobile Phone received part of Niu Chunsheng's Physical Examination results.
"What is this carcinoembryonic antigen? Why is it so high?"
Lin Xiaofang looked at one of the Physical Examination results, and her Inner Heart skipped a beat.
Niu Chunsheng was also Stunned.
He Busily used his Mobile Phone to look it up, and Discovered that this carcinoembryonic antigen is an indicator of Cancer in the body, but it is not very accurate; sometimes inflammation in the body can also cause the carcinoembryonic antigen to rise.
So the specific situation still requires waiting for further Inspection.
But Niu Chunsheng already had a bad premonition.
The day before yesterday he had Hematemesis until he fell into a Coma, and he thought this was very likely caused by Cancer.
So for the whole One Night, he was anxious and uneasy.
Fortunately, he originally couldn't sleep tonight anyway.
At Seven or Eight o'clock he had to drink laxative, and then kept going to the Toilet to have diarrhea, until after Eleven o'clock, he finally stopped having diarrhea no matter what.
Then he had to wait until four or five in the morning, and continue drinking the second packet of laxative.
Then continue having diarrhea.
This bowel prep solution actually isn't hard to drink, but you have to mix it with so much water to drink, and as you drink it, you start to feel a bit nauseous.
Moreover, you start having diarrhea after drinking half, it really tortures a person.
In order not to disturb his wife and child's rest, Niu Chunsheng also had the Hotel open an extra Room, letting Lin Xiaofang take the kid to the next Room to rest.
Niu Chunsheng alone in the Hotel, drank then had diarrhea, had diarrhea then drank.
At past Eleven o'clock at night, lying on the bed, both eyes staring at the Ceiling.
His Funeral Item was very chaotic, he thought of many things.
About family, about children, about the Company.
Only he himself was not thought of.
Death he is not Afraid of.
But he is Afraid that if Funeral Arrangements are not handled well, a lifetime of effort will be ruined at the last moment.
At past One o'clock in the early morning, he Tossed and Turned on the bed, really unable to sleep, so he took out his Mobile Phone, and in the Mobile Phone memo, began writing a will.
Regarding the Company's matters, his wife has been away from the workplace for many years, fearing she would be unable to handle it, so he could let Deputy General Manager Liu Yong take over on his behalf... but this Liu Yong is ultimately not Connections, he is a bit uneasy.
So in the end he changed it to, let Liu Yong be the Executive Director, and let Wang Erhai help Supervise.
As for family Wealth, half to the daughter, half to the son; the part given to the daughter, fearing she would squander it all at once, so let her collect it monthly...
This one night, is destined to be Niu Chunsheng's most difficult night to Persist through.
