Chapter 30: Surgery (1/2)

Teacher Xia went to the Provincial City University Hospital for surgery, alongside Xia Ye.

Tang Hongjun also specially asked for a day off, drove their father and son over and stayed to help them.

Xia Ye went to the hospital to go through various procedures. A series of trivial matters didn't let his dad get his procedure done before, was handled by him alone, even Tang Hongjun didn't have time to intervene. This boy was already very proficient in running the hospital and did everything he could.

Teacher Xia has a bad heart and needed a pacemarker. After consulting with a doctor, Xia Ye chose the best one so far, so that the risk of the operation was small and that his body would recover well.

The doctor has been comforting them and said: ”Don't be too scared. A pacemaker sound scary, but the procedure itself is very easy and only a small scar would be left.”

The doctor smiled, comforting them that they would need to open up a small wound about a few centimeters in size so they could relax them. ”This surgical risk is relatively high, but since you have chosen our hospital, you have to have confidence in our doctors!”

Teacher Xia's expression was more relaxed, and he smiled and nodded. When the doctor asked him to sign before the operation, Teacher Xia signed it himself. He was an adult, he has the right to decide, and no other family member can sign the word. Xia Ye was only 15 and cannot sign for him yet.

After Teacher Xia signed it, Xia Ye took the surgical consent form and looked at it for a long time. Looking at the various possible sudden risky situations on it, his mind was blank as he stood there for more than ten minutes.

The hospital said it was not a major operation, but in Xia Ye's view, it was a life-saving operation.

He has only his father as his only relative now, and he has prepared himself for everything for this day, he did not dare to make any mistakes.

When he arrived at the door of the operating room, Xia Ye was scared.

He looked at the door, unable to move.

Teacher Xia found his son's abnormality, and left a few words to comfort him, ”It's okay, didn't the doctor say it, it's just a minor operation, I’m doing it for the sake of my health. Dad will have an operation, stay here and wait for me to come out.”

Xia Ye nodded, opened his mouth and said okay, as if he had said something else, but he didn't know what he should say, his head was completely blank.

The doctor urged a few times and brought Teacher Xia into the operating room.

Xia Ye stayed outside sitting on the bench in the corridor, Tang Hongjun accompanied him, and kept whispering reassurances.

Xia Ye sat outside and waited. There were several other people sitting beside them, all of whom were family members of patients who were waiting for surgery as well.

Some people are anxious and get up and turn around from time to time, while others talk in low voices with their colleagues, holding hands and supporting each other.

But Xia Ye didn't say a word, just sat there waiting in silence.

When Tang Hongjun sat aside and held his shoulders, he clearly felt that the young man's shoulders under his palm were a bit stiff, still very thin, he was still a child.

Xia Ye looked up at him, Tang Hongjun smiled at him and comforted him: ”It will go well. This is the best hospital in the province. We are also looking for the best doctor. The pacemaker is a minor surgery, it will definitely be fine.”

An old man on the side also relieved them, ”You are also doing this operation? It's okay, it's not a major operation, and you don't need to change other organs, it just adds something, high-tech, young people should believe more in science!” The old man laughed. ”My wife has had a bad heart ever since she was little, and she installed one at the age of 24. She’s 54 now! For the past 30 years, she has been to many different doctors, and the doctors in our provincial hospital have made her live a little easier, they also have a good reputation, so I completely trust them!”

After hearing this, Xia Ye nodded and said yes, feeling relaxed.

Teacher Xia had his first operation. The operation went very smoothly and he soon came out.

He was still young and recovered quickly, and he seemed to have problems at all.

Xia Ye was worried and insisted on observing in the hospital for two days before willing to take him back.

Tang Hongjun smiled and said, ”Lao Xia, stay, don't worry Xiao Ye so much, you don't know, you scared this child when you had the operation, that he wanted to go in and bear the pain for you.”

Teacher Xia said: ”That's okay, we can stay here, you go back first, and you have to work tomorrow.”

Tang Hongjun waved his hand and said: ”No, no, I called in and took two days off. After waiting for two days, I will drive you back together. It is not convenient for your body to move so much, since you just had surgery.”

”But…”

”It's nothing, but you can stay in the hospital for two days with peace of mind. Besides, I also need to pay my old man a visit, It’s been a couple of months since the last time I saw him.”

Tang Hongjun was enthusiastic and treated the Xia family father and son well. After spending a while with them in the hospital, he bought some daily necessities and then found a place to stay.

Father Tang's house is next to S University. It was large and spacious enough. He usually lives here alone, and was very happy to see his son visit him.
