No matter what, the seven-day holiday is over, and it's time to go back to work today! In the morning, I first paid New Year's greetings to Master Guan at the director's doorstep. It's not easy for him to drive the director to work every day, plus me as a free rider! It was no time before the director came down! A new day began like this! When we arrived at the unit, we still met and greeted each other with "Happy New Year" in the usual way. Everyone was fine! However, I noticed that the atmosphere in the department was not right. After some inquiries, I learned that Old Xia's father was hospitalized due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage yesterday morning. Since we didn't know the situation, the six of us in the department discussed and borrowed a car to go to the hospital before working hours! (The first thing on the eighth day of the first lunar month when we went back to work was actually going to the hospital. There's nothing we can do! Children speak without reserve).
When we arrived at the hospital, we found that Old Xia wasn't there. We learned from his friend who was accompanying him that Mr. Xia's condition was serious. Although he had undergone surgery, brain death had been confirmed from a medical perspective. Now, only external machines were maintaining his blood pressure and breathing, which in turn maintained his heartbeat! Suddenly, I felt a sense of gravity. Thinking about how Brother Xia left home on the first day of the New Year and returned on the sixth day, then went to pick up his sister-in-law on the seventh day, and in such a short time, a robust old man suddenly... So, I took out my phone and sent a text message to Old Xia: Big Brother, take care! Perhaps at this moment, saying anything else would be superfluous.
Since there was a meeting in the afternoon, Mingqiang, Junlin and I returned first! Later, Wang Ge, Zhang Ge, and Old Xu also returned one after another. From their mouths, I learned that Director Chen had gone to discuss with the hospital director, and the hospital agreed to add three more days of brain protein to maintain the current situation. In fact, everyone knows that this is just doing our best. To give the family members some time to come to terms with it!
Suddenly, my mood became extremely bad, and so did my colleagues in the department. There were no jokes, only silence! We couldn't help but marvel at the fragility of life! On the way back from the hospital, I was still thinking, living is so hard, cherish life. Don't quarrel over trivial matters that are less important than life! Depression has become the main theme since I came back!
Just now, while chatting with Beibei, we talked about it again. Beibei said, this is something none of us could have expected. Don't think about it anymore!
I hope there will be a miracle in this world, even if it's one in ten thousand, even if Grandpa Xia wakes up, allowing Brother Xia and his siblings to fulfill their filial duty. Don't give up, don't lose heart, this world is full of love!
After writing all these, I feel a bit better. Let's wait for a miracle to happen!
