The Hope You Gave Me: 29-valve

The day after Chen Jiajun moved into Mingsen Community, he received a call from Qian Zhi, inviting him to return to his former team work and to be an assistant to an old reporter in the social news page. Jiajun went there happily. . He came back and said that Qian Zhi took good care of him and asked him to help the old reporters to run the news together. In fact, the old reporter has already retired, and his children are all abroad. He is in good health and can't be idle. He was invited into the team by Qian Zhi with a high salary. He used to be a big player in the industry, good-natured and approachable. Be your own apprentice, teach by words and deeds, and answer any questions you have.

You don’t need to work as a reporter. Jiajun is used to getting up early and going to bed early, while Min Hui is a night owl, so the task of sending Su Quan to kindergarten in the morning was handed over to Jiajun. The two of them each rode an electric donkey to work. Their respective units have dinner. If they get off work on time in the evening, the three of them will get together for dinner. After all, he is a child of a poor family. Jiajun is very frugal. His monthly salary is 4,000 yuan. He gives 3,000 yuan to Min Hui as the rent. He chooses the simplest and cheapest daily food and clothing. Feeling distressed, thinking that he is a reporter who interviews big people all day long, and he can't dress so dirty, so he bought a few sets of clothes for him.

Min Hui remembered that Zhou Ruji liked photography and had participated in several photography clubs, so she introduced Jiajun to him. Zhou Ruji generously gave him two expensive lenses, took him in and out of the club, and slowly expanded the social circle. The four of them got along well. However, Min Hui did not tell Jia Jun that Su Quan was Xin Qi's biological son. Because Su Quan likes Zhou Ruji and completely treats him as her own father, she is afraid that Jiajun will leak his mouth when he finds out.

Dad moved away, uncle moved in, and Su Quan had another "father" role beside him. The child had no memory. Gradually, Su Quan and Jia Jun became closer.

Watching Jiajun go out to work with high spirits with his camera on his back every day, come back home and tell anecdotes about interviews, and work overtime until midnight, Min Hui knows that he likes this profession and cherishes this opportunity, although his starting point is low , I am making progress every day, and I am very pleased.

I didn't expect that Jiajun had just received his salary for two months. One day during work hours, Qian Zhi suddenly called Min Hui and said, "I plan to transfer Chen Jiajun back to the entertainment department. Do you have any opinion?"

"What's the matter?"

Qian Zhi sighed: "Social journalists need strong analytical skills and writing skills. Chen Jiajun's background is too poor, he doesn't know what to say in his writing, and he doesn't say many typos, and some sentences don't even understand grammar. The old reporter was about to commit high blood pressure when he changed his manuscript. Today, he told me that he did not want to take him. I think he is still——"

"Then let another reporter take him." Min Hui said.

"Miss Min, I understand your hard work. It's right to help people, but sometimes you have to face the reality. The reality is: Chen Jiajun is really not a reporter. I think it's better to be a bodyguard. The reporter is really embarrassing him..."

"I know, so I paid you 50,000 yuan for training. You already took the money; I also paid for the three-year internship salary. You said it yourself, anything is possible—"

"Miss Min, listen to me-"

"We have a deal," Min Hui said in a strong tone, "Please create a miracle. I have a meeting to open. If I have nothing to do, I will hang up."

"Wait," Qian Zhi had to compromise, "at least ask him a tutor to improve his language?"

"That's fine, I'll ask for it tomorrow."

Min Hui put down the phone and pondered, and found that Chen Jiajun was really able to handle affairs, and was not well received by Qian Zhi. Every day I come back to eat happily, it is a picture of a happy work. There are many universities in Bencheng. It took Min Hui less than an hour to find a bunch of tutors on the campus network. She selected six students: three Chinese departments and three journalism departments. A girl named Ye Xiaozhen, who is a junior in the journalism department, tutors Jiajun in news writing three times a week in the study room of the library of Bencheng University. To be cautious, she also went to the school to meet Ye Xiaozhen, and found that she was a rural girl with simple clothes, crisp words, and awards on her CV. She looked very capable. He went home that night and introduced him to Jiajun. Jiajun was also very happy, but said that he must share the cost of tutoring.

"I paid for the money, but it's not much." Min Hui said while cooking noodles, "When you have the royalties, just treat me to a good meal."

"Thank you, sister." Chen Jiajun said.

Min Hui felt sour in her heart and almost burst into tears: "You...what did you call me just now?"

"Sister." Chen Jiajun blushed, "You are two years older than me, right?"

"Hey, that's right." Min Hui happily replied, "Do well, look after you!"

"Let's fry a mushroom egg," Chen Jiajun opened the refrigerator, and suddenly Su Quan put his head in, "Uncle, popsicle!"

"Here." Chen Jiajun took a red bean ice and handed it to him, but Min Hui snatched it away, "Don't eat sweets before eating, beware of tooth decay, we Su Quan will grow up to be the most handsome in the world. Man, with white teeth, right? All of them?"

"Mom, I'm thirsty, can I just take a small bite?"

Min Hui poured a glass of water and squatted down and held it up in front of him: "Drink water when you are thirsty."

"Sister, you are really strict." Chen Jiajun said with a smile, since he moved into the apartment opposite, he has been calling her "Min Hui", this is the first time calling her "Sister", Min Hui's heart warms I can't help but think how happy Su Tian would be to see such a sensible younger brother if he were alive.

"Oh yes," Chen Jiajun took out a bank card from his pocket while beating eggs and put it on the dining table, "I took back the 200,000 you gave last time."

Min Hui was feeding water to the child. For a while, her smile froze on her face: "What two hundred thousand?"

"That brother Shao blackmailed us for 200,000." Chen Jiajun said.

"Hey, you're not going to fight again, are you?" Min Hui suddenly became anxious and stood up quickly, "These 200,000 families will definitely not be returned to you honestly."

Chen Jiajun turned around and washed the mushrooms in the sink: "I didn't want to mention this at first, but you know, Brother Shao came to me again last week, saying that 200,000 is not enough, and he wants 200,000."

“…”

After the transfer that day, Min Hui also regretted a little. It's not that I regret that the amount is too much, but I regret that I was too straightforward and gave the other party the impression of "not bad money". It should be agreed first, then paid in installments, and complained while paying, and people might not come to trouble her again.

"This kid is too arrogant. The underworld doesn't do that, I have to teach him a lesson." Chen Jiajun said disapprovingly, "He asked me to duel with a knife, and I beat him hard. After a meal, I forced him to return the money to me on the spot."

"Do you think this will solve the problem?"

"Of course."

"Jiajun—" Next, Min Hui spoke to him for 20 minutes, the central issue: Don't use violence.

"Then we can't be blackmailed by him endlessly."

"He won't let it go." The more Min Hui thought about it, the less calm she became. "Would you like me to change your place to live? Take shelter for a while?"

"Don't worry. I installed a surveillance camera at the door, and even if he wants to find me, he will not come to this community."

***

Min Hui guessed right, and it really is her troubles.

A week later, Min Hui picked up Su Quan after get off work, and the e-donkey broke down. The two walked home hand in hand. They passed by a remote street corner and were unexpectedly blocked by three gangsters. The leader was Brother Shao.

Before Min Hui could react, Brother Shao pulled Su Quan over and pinched it on his arm. Su Quan was so frightened that he burst into tears, struggling desperately, kicking his legs, and grabbing his two little hands on Brother Shao's body.

"Mom! Help!" Su Quanyi cried, his face turned purple, "Mom, I'm afraid! Mom, mom—"

Seeing the child screaming, Brother Shao slapped Su Quan with a slap, and he was so frightened that he fell silent.

Min Hui didn't dare to call for help, and for a while, she had no masters, so she just knelt down and begged for mercy: "Brother Shao! Brother Shao! If you have something to say, do you want the 200,000 yuan? I have it, I have it! I will give it to you right away. Transfer money by mobile phone! Please, don't hit my son!"

"Fuck, last time Chen Jiajun almost strangled me to death, you want to solve it for 200,000 yuan? There is no door! Don't touch your pocket, don't open your phone, you're going to mess around and I'll kill him!" Shao Brother grabbed Su Quan and shook it vigorously, "I have investigated you, you are the director of the company, and your son has a heart attack."

Su Quan was probably shaken awake by him, and immediately began to cry. Min Hui was so anxious that she trembled and said in a trembling voice, "I won't move, I won't move! Don't hurt my son, you can do whatever you want with me."

"Throw your phone over here."

Min Hui took out her phone and threw it over.

"Power-on password."

"1679."

"I want one million, you say, I will do it." Brother Shao threw Su Quan to the next man, took Min Hui's mobile phone, and clicked on it skillfully.

"Brother Shao, 200,000 yuan is the maximum limit for mobile phone transfers. I'll give you the remaining money tomorrow. I'll do what I say. Please be sure to raise your hand—" Min Hui was anxious and afraid, her chest was congested, Tears couldn't help rolling out of my eyes. Although her income is not low, she usually saves her expenses. After all, her working life is too short, and there is no one million in her account. I thought that if I asked Cao Mu or Zhou Ruji to borrow it, I should be able to borrow it.

"Then transfer 200,000 yuan first and tell me the payment password."

Min Hui was about to open her mouth when she heard a thunderous motor sound behind her. When she turned around, she saw Chen Jiajun riding an electric donkey and rushing towards Brother Shao at full speed!

His eyes are red and he has a desperate expression on his face.

Everyone backed away. Seeing that he was about to rush in front of him, Chen Jiajun braked suddenly, jumped out of the car, picked up a brick on the ground and smashed it at Brother Shao's head.

The gangsters saw him coming aggressively, and two passers-by not far away heard the movement and came over. Brother Shao was afraid of being photographed, so he whistled, and the **** threw Su Quan on the ground, turned around and ran away. After a while, he disappeared without a trace.

"All!"

Min Hui rushed over and hugged Su Quan in his arms. His lips and fingertips had turned black, his skin was gray, and his face was transparent enough to see the blue blood vessels on it. He snorted weakly, put his hands on his chest, opened his mouth to take a few quick breaths, and suddenly closed his eyes and fainted...

Jia Jun had never seen such a formation before, so he was stunned.

"Call an ambulance!" Min Hui stood up with the child in her arms and rushed forward.

"It's too late," Jia Jun lifted the electric donkey from the ground, "the hospital is right in front, get in the car, I'll take you there."

Min Hui sits on the back seat of the electric donkey with Su Quan in her arms. Jia Jun takes her mother and son to the hospital in a hurry.

***

Fortunately, Zhou Ruji happened to be on duty and rushed to the ward immediately after receiving Min Hui's text message to arrange rescue.

This is not the first time Su Quan has the disease, but it is the first time that he is so severe that he is in a coma.

When Zhou Ruji was by his side before, if the child had any clues - such as asthma, night sweats, cyanosis, heart palpitations, etc. - he would immediately be alerted and sent to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

In the first three years of Su Quan's birth, Min Hui did not dare to go to work in order to take care of him, so she could only work at home. He is a quiet child who doesn't like to play or play. The kindergarten teachers also take good care of him and prevent him from participating in strenuous activities. So over the years, Su Quan has been well protected, and even though he has a heart attack, his normal life has not been affected.

However, due to the moderate regurgitation caused by mitral valve deformity, Su Quan's condition will become more and more serious with age. For the health of the heart, in order to avoid accidents, surgical repair is a matter of time.

Min Hui has always known, but she always feels that this day is far, far away from her.

Because the valve surgery is a thoracotomy, it means that a 25 cm long wound will be incised on the patient's chest. The doctor will saw through the sternum, cut the pericardium, stop the heart, put on extracorporeal circulation, and put his hand into the heart to repair it.

Children's heart surgery risks are only greater.

So over the years, Min Hui has been refusing to think about this matter in her heart. She doesn't know how to face it, and she is even more worried about whether Su Quan can survive such a terrible operation.

After some rescue and examination, Su Quan was sent back to the ward. After talking with the attending doctor for a while, Zhou Ruji came over and told Min Hui: "His current condition is temporarily stable, but his heart function is obviously insufficiency, and his heart has begun to enlarge, and he needs immediate surgery."

Min Hui's heart skipped a beat: The day has finally come. She held Zhou Ruji's hand tightly and looked at him helplessly: "He's still so young, can he wait any longer? I'm afraid he won't survive."

"Can't wait. We need to repair his valve as soon as possible to reduce the backflow of blood. Today is already a very critical symptom this time."

Min Hui paled and nodded: "What are you going to do?"

“First of all, we will try to repair the valve. If it is found that it is too damaged to be repaired, it needs to be replaced. There are two types of artificial valves, one is a mechanical valve and the other is a biological valve.” Zhou Ruji explained, “Mechanical valve The valve is relatively durable. If it is good, it does not need to be replaced for decades, but it needs to take anticoagulants for life. Children generally cannot be installed until they are seven or eight years old. Biological valves are generally made of pig hearts or bovine pericardium. Anticoagulant is not required, but it is not very robust and may face a second valve replacement."

"Do I have to open my chest?" Min Hui asked desperately, "I heard that there are many minimally invasive surgeries, even robotic surgeries?"

"Those are not too mature. And from the color Doppler ultrasound, the whole situation is more complicated, and traditional thoracotomy is more secure." Zhou Ruji whispered, "You don't have to worry too much, this kind of surgery is now has a high success rate.”

"But he's only a three-year-old!" Min Hui couldn't help sobbing.

"Well, children's heart surgery requires higher skills," Zhou Ruji gently shook her hand in comfort, "their hearts are small and their blood vessels are fragile."

"Who is the best heart doctor in Ben Thanh?"

"The doctor who rescued him just now is the best in our hospital."

"Is there anything better?"

Zhou Ruji nodded: "Cheng Guangyi of Anji Hospital is a top expert in children's heart surgery, not to mention in Bencheng, but also one of the best in the country. He has a nickname in the industry, called 'Cherry'."

"Cherry?"

"Have you ever eaten a birthday cake? The cake is topped with a layer of cream, and the cream will have a cherry on top. If the national heart surgery experts are likened to a piece of cake, Cheng Guangyi is the cherry on top of the cake."

"Okay," Min Hui said quickly, "We will transfer to Anji immediately, and ask Cheng Guangyi to do the surgery."

"He is currently out of the country."

"What?"

"He had an academic exchange in Singapore and won't be back for three months."

"Then I will fly to Singapore tomorrow and beg him to come back." Min Hui said immediately.

"I'm afraid you won't do this." Zhou Ruji looked at her, sighed, and hesitated.

"Why? I know it's hard to get him, but I want to get him at all costs!"

"He is Cheng Qirang's father, and there are so many people begging him." Zhou Ruji said, "Cheng Guangyi can't make this trip for your son unless you go to ask Cheng Qirang."

At that moment, Min Hui felt that the blood in her brain was drained by these words.
