After he prepared the bed for the night, Ye Tianxin took out the clothes he had bought for his grandmother and asked, "Grandmother, do you like it?"
Grandma held the clothes in her hands and liked it at first sight. Although he did not like the fact that Tianxin had spent money unnecessarily, he was touched by the attention of his granddaughter.
“Grandma, I bought this on the market this morning. Please put on your new clothes tomorrow, okay?”
Her grandmother was reluctant to wear new clothes without a chance, protesting, “But this is not even a new year. Why do I have to wear a new shirt!?”
"We can wear new clothes, even if we don't celebrate the new year!"
Ye Tianxin shared a bed with her grandmother.
She decided that after her grandmother's medical checkup the next day, she would clean the upper floors of the house. That way, Aunt Du won't have to go home and can just stay upstairs.
Ye Tianxin was exhausted, so she went to bed early.
Even though she was fast asleep, her grandmother was still awake.
Although she saw Ye Tianxin's face, Grandma was actually thinking about her own daughter. He wished with all his heart that there was a miracle in this world.
Because if there was a miracle, then he would be able to see his daughter again and tell her directly that, even though he did not raise her well, he had done a pretty good job in raising his granddaughter.
Ye Tianxin woke up at four in the morning.
She had to go to the hospital and queue up to register her grandmother for a health checkup. Since they rarely traveled to the Capital City, her grandmother's health check was her top priority.
Trying hard to relieve his drowsiness, he splashed cold water on his face and came out.
By the time he arrived at the hospital registration center, a long queue had already formed in front of the registration counter.
Ye Tianxin, feeling a little cold, looked pale as she walked to the back of the line, sat on the floor, and started working on her exam practice to stay alert.
If he had to queue at the hospital for two to three hours, Ye Tianxin did not intend to waste his time. So, sitting cross-legged on the floor, he started working on his question.
With the help of the memory-assisted methodology, Ye Tianxin's memory had improved greatly. Although he had not yet reached the point where he had a photographic memory, all he had to do was read something once and he could remember about 80% of it.
With two copies of the exam practice questions, Ye Tianxin focused on working on the matters in the book.
In the quiet area of the hospital registration, other than the sound of a breathing person, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of scratches made by Ye Tianxin's pencil as she wrote her answer to the exam question.
That's seven exactly.
Official start time for registration.
Fortunately, Ye Tianxin had the foresight to get there early, as he was the last person in line to be given a slot for the day for the specialist he planned to consult. The other person standing in line behind him, who also wanted to consult the same specialist, had to come back again another day.
After registering, Ye Tianxin took the bus back to the bookstore. His grandmother was awake and sweeping the courtyard. When he heard Ye Tianxin push the door open, he asked, "Tianxin, where have you been?"
“Grandma, I'm in the hospital. I'll take you there for a health checkup later!”
When her grandmother heard what Ye Tianxin said, she replied, “I won't go to the hospital. If I go there, they will claim that I suffer from all sorts of illnesses even though I am very healthy. I'm in good health. I have a good appetite. I drink a lot of water, and I sleep well!”
“Grandma, I have registered you. Surely you do not want to let the money I spent on registration fees be wasted!” Ye Tianxin said intentionally, knowing that her grandmother would eventually give up because she did not want to let the money she spent on the registration fees go to waste.
“How much does the registration cost?” ask grandma.
Ye Tianxin replied, “Hundred dollars for specialist consultation! I left at four this morning to join the queue and was given a final appointment for today. Grandma, let's go and check on you, okay? If you refuse to go with me for your medical checkup, then I... I will not take the college entrance exam!!”
Angrily, his grandmother twisted Ye Tianxin's ears.
It was a gentle twist, but Ye Tianxin acted up and pretended it was extremely painful.
"You, how can you risk your future by blackmailing your grandmother!"
“Grandma, because you scared me half to death! Do you know how scared I was when you suddenly fell? So, Grandma, please listen to me, okay? Let's check. It's just a physical examination. It won't cost much. Think about it. If you refuse to do the examination, I should finally focus on preparing for my entrance examination and worry about your condition at the same time. You tell me. Is that what you want?”
Finally, Grandma gave up and agreed to leave.
Knowing that he might have to donate blood as part of the examination, Ye Tianxin and his grandmother skipped breakfast.
It was a peak travel time for people traveling to and from work, so Ye Tianxin and his grandmother could only take the bus after going through many hardships.
Although their journey was only a few stops away, Ye Tianxin felt that it would never end!
When they arrived at the hospital, Ye Tianxin first brought her grandmother to an area outside the doctor's office, where she told the doctor's assistant about the purpose of their visit. The physician assistant then took out Ye Tianxin a stack of test slips and asked her to bring her grandmother to complete the required tests.
Ye Tianxin took her grandmother to the test center to have her blood drawn.
After his grandmother's blood was taken, Ye Tianxin went to a small stall at the hospital entrance and bought milk, eggs, and bread for her grandmother.
“Tianxin, you eat. I'm not hungry."
Not wanting to waste such good food on herself, Grandma started pushing her towards Ye Tianxin.
So Ye Tianxin was forced to say, “Grandmother, I have eaten. I had breakfast when I came here this morning to queue for registration.”
Ye Tianxin sat her grandmother on the bench with her food and then went to the radiology center to enroll. After she signed up, she returned to the bench and found that her grandmother was no longer there.
"Grandmother," called her. "grandmother."
Ye Tianxin searched everywhere, asking people along the way if they saw her grandmother.
But since there was always a flow of people going in and out of the hospital, no one saw her grandmother.
Ye Tianxin suddenly became worried, afraid that her grandmother might have been framed by a medical fraud!
What should she do if her grandmother has been framed by a medical fraudster?
Ye Tianxin, panicked tears streaming down her eyes, raised her head and looked at the CCTV camera. He asked for directions to the security control room and actually flew over there.
Because she is beautiful and a sweet speaker, people in the security control room make exceptions and check out the videos around her.
A familiar figure finally appeared before Ye Tiaxin's eyes.
When he saw that familiar figure, Ye Tianxin began to tremble involuntarily.
Therehewas.
It really was him.
Ye Tianxin quickly tried to calm herself down.
Turning around, he thanked the kind-hearted people who had helped him. "Thank you very much."
"grandmother."
At the time, her grandmother had yet to realize that the good young woman who had captivated her was actually a fraud.
"Tianxin, here we go."
“Come with you, Grandma. Let's finish your test.”
Seeing Ye Tianxin pulling her to the exit, Grandma asked, puzzled, "Isn't this the place for an ultrasound scan?"
"No. It was in a different location.”
Ye Tianxin did not tell her grandmother how scared she was when she discovered that she was missing.
Also, he did not want his grandmother to know ahead of time about the whereabouts of the family….
He did not want the quiet life he and his grandmother enjoyed to be destroyed by that Lu family.
After all the tests were completed, Grandma and Ye Tianxin returned to the doctor's office with the test results. Looking at the test results in Ye Tianxin's hands, the doctor commented softly, "The old woman is in quite good shape."
Ye Tianxin knew very well that her grandmother was not well at all because, during the ultrasound and CT scans, doctors had told her that she could see shadows in certain areas.
"Ah, really? Thank you doctor."
The doctor, sensing that Ye Tianxin was playing with him, replied, "Together."
Walking out of the doctor's office with Ye Tianxin, Grandma said, "Tianxin, what did I say? There is nothing wrong with my health. You just don't believe me.”
Which one, Ye Tianxin replied with a smile, “See, Grandma? Health check keeps us calm!”
After walking a few steps, Ye Tianxin suddenly stopped and exclaimed, “Grandmother, I forgot one of her reports. Wait here for me. Don't go anywhere with anyone. I'd be scared if I came back and you weren't here!"
Unsuspecting, his grandmother nodded and sat on the bench waiting for Ye Tianxin.
Calming his pounding heart, Ye Tianxin ran back to the doctor's office. When the doctor saw him, he was stunned for a moment.
“Doctor, my grandmother's illness. Is it operable?”
The doctor deliberated for a moment before saying, “This is operable, but surgery will only give your grandmother a little more time. Also, this operation will be very expensive, and I don't think you guys will be able to afford that much money.”
“Doctor, please let me know. What is the estimated cost of this operation? As long as it can help my grandmother live longer, I will use any means necessary to raise money.”
"At least five hundred thousand."
Ye Tianxin knew that even though the doctor said it cost only five hundred thousand dollars, it actually cost a lot more than that.
And more.
The problem was that there were only fifty thousand in his grandmother's bank deposit book. The amount was like a drop of water in the ocean compared to the cost of treating her grandmother's illness.
Now, in addition to preparing for the college entrance exam, she also had to find a job. How could he, in such a short amount of time, make a million dollars?
“Young lady, judging by your appearance, you don't look like you come from a rich family. Think and find out for yourself if this is really necessary.”
“Kanker my grandmother, has it spread to other regions?”
“Ya has spread. Also, even with surgery and subsequent cancer treatments, in her condition, your grandmother may still not be able to last much longer.”
Ye Tianxin lowered her head. With tears in his eyes, he asked, “So, what can we do? I can't just sit back, do nothing, and give up on my grandmother!”
The doctor said so. “Young lady, think about this carefully! My advice is because your grandmother is old enough, there is no need to cut her.”
Ye Tianxin was well aware that the doctor was thinking about what was best for her when she made that suggestion, but she did not need her kindness.
Looking puzzled, Ye Tianxin left the doctor's office. In the distance, she could see her grandmother sitting alone on the bench, waiting for her to return. Tears flowed down Ye Tianxin's face.
He could not give up on his grandmother.
He was determined to treat his grandmother's illness.
He would definitely raise enough money to take care of his grandmother.
With the best medicine.
With the best doctor.
She was determined to make sure her grandmother was alive and well.
"grandmother."
Ye Tianxin sat beside her grandmother, and together they watched the flow of people in the hospital rushing to and fro.
His grandmother breathed. “There are so many people in the Capital City. So much in the hospital and on the bus. There are people everywhere!”
"Grandma, do you miss home?"
Ye Tianxin leaned her head on her grandmother's shoulder, fully realizing that her grandmother longed for her hometown.
Grandma had spent many years in the city of Jiameng. And now, having to come to an unfamiliar place, she must be feeling uneasy.
"No. This is my first trip to the Capital,” Grandma replied, her words do not reflect her true feelings.
Laughing softly, Ye Tianxin said, "Grandmother, it's too early to say for sure, but I might not pass the preliminary interview. If I don't make it past the first round, we should be back home in the afternoon two days from now."
“It won't happen. My Tianxin is very capable. How could you not succeed !?”
Grandma comforted Ye Tianxin, and the two of them sat there quietly, pondering their own thoughts.
"Auntie."
A familiar voice rang out in his ears, and Ye Tianxin felt his head start pounding, as if fireworks were exploding in his head.
Confused, Grandma raised her head and looked at the person standing in front of them. "Are you a Jijun? Lu Jijun?”
"Yes, Auntie."
Lu Jijun's eyes landed on Ye Tianxin. "My eyes, she's all grown up now!" he thinks.
"Auntie, why are you and Tianxin in the Capital?" She asked.
