Chu Zhixi drives home. She is very satisfied with her current life.


    Not like wandering in Europe and America, my heart is empty. The concept of home is clearer and warmer only when you come back.


    After years of marriage, Chu Zhixi had no idea of buying a house in the provincial capital. After all, I''ve seen too many luxury houses. No matter how special the houses in the provincial capital are, that''s all. As long as I can stay with my brother all my life, nothing else is important.


    He has lived in manors in Europe and America and slept in tents in Africa. Chu Zhixi''s character is easy-going and gentle. He doesn''t care about any situation.


    After entering the unit, Chu Zhixi took out the key and opened the door.


    "Xiao Xi, is that you?" Zhang Lan asked in the inner room.


    "Mom, it''s me." Chu Zhixi changed his shoes and entered the house. "I''ll come back first, and my brother will come back after work."


    Chu Zhixi told Zhang Lan about the people and things he met today while changing his clothes.


    Aunt Feng of the neighborhood committee took grandma Huang from the next building to see a doctor. Zhang Lan also vaguely knew about it. Before, she thought grandma Huang was an old-age disease and could not be cured. But I didn''t expect that Wu Mian was really good. The more I heard Zhang Lan''s face, the brighter it was.


    Chu Zhixi talked about the causes and consequences, and finally told Zhang Lan about the diagnosis and future treatment. Zhang Lan sighed and said, "when you get old, you become a drag on the children."


    "Mom, you see what you said." Chu Zhixi sat on the chair beside the bed, put his feet on it, hugged his knees and said with a smile, "you are still young, where is old. Even Grandma Huang is not old. She may be 80 years old in Northeast China, but there are people in the South and coastal areas who are 70, 80 or 80 years old."


    "You have a sweet mouth. Don''t coax your mother. I know in my heart." Zhang Lan smiled. "They say that people are rare in the past 70 years."


    "That was the past, and as long as the conditions were excellent, there were many people in their 70s and 80s in the ancient literati class." Chu Zhixi said, "I listened to my brother. For a while, he read all the history books of the past dynasties."


    "What''s the use of that thing?" Zhang Lan didn''t understand.


    "My brother said that the history of surgery in China is actually quite long, especially those recorded in historical books... Hey hey." Chu Zhixi didn''t know what he thought and suddenly smiled.


    "What''s the matter, Xiao Xi?" Zhang Lan asked.


    "There was a rumor during Hua Tuo''s craniotomy that Ma boiling powder might exist, but my brother didn''t find conclusive evidence. Speaking of surgery, hemorrhoids could be done in the Ming Dynasty." Chu Zhixi said, "moreover, people''s living conditions at that time were average, but there were many 80 year olds."


    "Can you do hemorrhoids surgery in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Lan was surprised.


    "What my brother said, I don''t think I''m kidding. He said that Xu Jie''s personal doctor would do it. Later, Zhang Juzheng got hemorrhoids, so Xu Jie sent his personal doctor to operate on him. As a result, Zhang Juzheng died after the operation."


    "...." Zhang Lan was speechless.


    Chu Zhixi is gentle and kind, but sometimes his brain jumps very badly. Only the boy Wu Mian can understand.


    "Ah, that''s not what I mean. They are teachers and disciples, but the struggle is also very fierce." Chu Zhixi smiled. "What I want to say is Xu Jie, a private doctor, who lived until he was 80. He died after Zhang Juzheng died."


    "So old."


    "Yes, so what''s the age now. Mom, a good life at your age has just begun. When my father retires a few years later, you two turn around and see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland."


    "That''s what Wu Mian said," Zhang Lan asked.


    Chu Zhixi''s face was a little red and said, "well, my brother said, we are old and want to walk around every corner of our country."


    "Zhenye, your father and I won''t go. When you get married and have children at the end of next year, I have to see my grandchildren."


    "Children can be naughty, mom. Sometimes I''m afraid when I think about it." Chu Zhixi is not shy, but looks confused. "I''m particularly worried. What do you say about education in the future?"


    "What are you worried about? I''m here," Zhang Lan said.


    "No, no, I''m not worried about taking care of the children, sleeping less and tired." Chu Zhixi said. "I''m used to being on duty in the hospital. It''s equivalent to being a hospital manager for a period of time. I don''t have to worry about the sudden death of patients and the kind of hospital manager whose family members are reluctant to spare. In fact, it''s very carefree."


    "What are you worried about?"


    "Mom, if your child is as smart as your brother, i... how do we manage?" Chu zhixiliao was a little sad. "My IQ crushed me at the age of 3. Every time I think of this, I feel that there is no hope in life."


    "Don''t be afraid, isn''t there still Wu Mian?" Zhang Lan smiled.


    They chatted, and laughter came out from time to time. Zhang Lan''s recuperation was not so difficult.


    At 4:30 p.m., Chu Zhixi ordered takeout early.


    Although Zhang Lan is a little disgusted with the children ordering takeout with their hands, she absolutely doesn''t cook in the kitchen by herself. But she was very self-conscious and didn''t nag Chu Zhixi for fear that the girl had other ideas.


    The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still very harmonious, but it needs to be managed after all. We can''t let the boy Wu Mian be caught in a dilemma.


    At half past five, Wu Mian didn''t come back. The doorbell rang first.


    "Mom, I''ll pick up the takeout." Chu Zhixi said hello and stood up to get the takeout.


    Open the door and hear footsteps below.


    It''s already winter. It''s snowing and the temperature is falling sharply. Chu Zhixi is afraid that Zhang Lan will catch a cold. He opens the door and waits for the delivery brother to go upstairs.


    A few minutes later, I haven''t seen the takeout brother yet. Chu Zhixi had some doubts. She turned back and put on her clothes, "Mom, I''ll go down and have a look."


    "Xiao Xi, don''t go. What if there''s danger?" Zhang Lan worried.


    "It''s all right. Now the security is very good. We have six cameras downstairs. It''s all right." Chu Zhixi said with a smile, put on his clothes and changed his shoes and went down.


    On the first floor and a half, a young man in yellow takeout clothes sat on the steps and put the ordered takeout aside.


    His heavy breathing can be heard a few meters away.


    "Little brother, what''s the matter with you?" Chu Zhixi asked.


    "No... I''m sorry..." the two big rabbit ears of the delivery boy are particularly cute. They shake twice when talking, and the painful voice seems to be a little gentle. "I suddenly have a stomachache and sit down to catch my breath... I''m really... I''m really sorry."


    "It''s all right. I''ll take the takeout directly. Go home and have a rest, or go to the hospital." Chu Zhixi said.


    "No, there are still a lot of lists," said the delivery boy with pain. "When you finish running, go home and drink some hot water in the evening."


    Drink some hot water... Chu Zhixi thought of talking with his brother in the afternoon.


    "By the way, just a moment. I''ll get you a cup of hot water."
