Chapter 1281: Heartbroken at a Young Age
After sending the Zhong family siblings out, Bian Mu was really hungry, so he sent Luo Zhanqi to his old friend to cook two plates of vegetarian dumplings and bring them back to eat first.
Only Bian Mu and the other three were left in the clinic.
"Have you paid for playing chess?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"I paid! I won't tell you the exact amount, but I'm quite satisfied! I'm a tacky person, so I'll just say whatever I want to say. If you encounter similar work in the future, please contact me as soon as possible! It's been so many years, and I've never been so happy, hahaha... Come on! Add a contact number!" Grandpa Zeng said with a smile.
"As long as you are satisfied!" As he spoke, Bian Mu took out his mobile phone and added the old man's contact number to the address book.
The little boy seemed quite quiet, sitting obediently not far away, his big eyes blinking here and there, looking a little introverted.
After a few words of small talk, Bian Mu asked casually: "Mr. Zeng! Please forgive me for being so nosy, who is this child to you?"
"Grandson! He is the youngest of the fourth generation in the family, great-grandson. Back then, I got married early, and my children are not young anymore."
"Four generations living under one roof! Many children, many blessings, enviable! He must be in junior high school, right?" Bian Mu said with a smile.
"He is in the second year of junior high school. He has been a little absent-minded in class recently, and his mind is always difficult to concentrate. I thought, anyway, it is useless to stay in class, so I thought about taking him out to play, and asked for a few days off to relax. After a few days, he will return to school by himself if he is upset." Mr. Zeng responded with a smile.
"Is that so... I see that the 'heart seedlings' in the child's eyes are a little scattered. If you don't mind, I will take the child's pulse?" Bian Mu liked the boy very much, and smiled politely.
"I couldn't ask for more! Xiaojie! Come here! Doctor Bian, please take our pulse!" As he spoke, Mr. Zeng called his grandson to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and asked Bian Mu to take his pulse.
...
"Xiaojie, right? Do you have the habit of long-distance running? And, the kind of long-distance night running under the street lights?" Bian Mu asked calmly.
The little boy nodded gently and said nothing.
"It's the beginning of autumn and the end of summer. The heat that has accumulated for several months can't dissipate for a while. The temperature difference between morning and evening is actually quite large. Xiaojie! You didn't tell your parents about your cold in the past few months?" Bian Mu seemed to have noticed something.
"My parents work very hard at work. My sister is still young. My mother has to take care of her after work. I just have a runny nose. It's okay. I'll go to the park and run a few laps to sweat and it will be fine." Xiaojie spoke very eloquently.
"Hey! You are still young and don't know how serious it is. If you insist on long-distance running when you have a cold, and you run at night, it is easy to hurt the heart meridian. Due to your age, you may not understand some of the words. From now on, at least for half a year, until the spring of next year, you can no longer practice long-distance running, especially night running, not even once! Elder Zeng, can he listen to us?"
"No wonder... He can listen, he can listen! He definitely can listen! This child is very smart. As long as the truth is explained to him clearly, he is always very self-conscious." Elder Zeng responded quickly.
"That's good! Xiaojie! Come! Let's go to the table and draw some sketches." As he spoke, Bian Mu accompanied the grandfather and grandson to the consultation table to prepare to patiently explain to the little boy.
At this time, Luo Zhanqi came back with a lunch box.
"Just right! This child insisted on long-distance running when he had a cold, and he insisted on exercising at night, which hurt his heart. When the class started, the air circulation in the classroom might not be very good, and there was a lack of oxygen. More importantly, the sound, light and electricity teaching and the sound of reading aloud can easily induce the phenomenon of frequent changes in the heart blood. It's strange that he can listen to the class at ease! I'll work hard to draw a few simple diagrams for him and explain the basic pathology to the child. He is very smart. As long as he really understands it, he will recover in time with self-discipline." As he spoke, Bian Mu took the food box from Luo Zhanqi.
"Oh! How long has it been?" Luo Zhanqi asked sympathetically.
"It's been more than a year since he started. A lot of phlegm has accumulated in his body. I'm thinking about it and thinking of a way to help him get rid of the phlegm and dampness."
"Okay! Eat quickly, it's not too cold or too hot, just right." After that, Luo Zhanqi went to the consultation table to give a lesson to the little boy.
The dumplings that his friend made for Bian Mu were delicious. He also added three dishes of side dishes. Bian Mu ate them all in a short while...
After tidying up the lunch box, Bian Mu waved to Mr. Zeng and took the lunch box to the restaurant at the door to return the tableware.
...
"Did you understand everything?" Bian Mu asked the boy with a smile.
"Some of it was okay, but some I didn't understand. It turns out that long-distance running is harmful! Then can I change to morning jogging in the future?" The little boy was used to running and didn't want to give up long-distance running exercise completely for the time being.
"How about this! Run twice a week, Saturday and Sunday morning, jogging. As long as you have a runny nose, Saturday and Sunday are not allowed! Let's make a transition first, and when you completely overcome the cold habit, we will stop completely, okay?"
"Then... okay! Can I still play football in the future?" Looking up at Bian Mu, the little boy's eyes revealed a certain trust.
"No! Definitely not! But... I'm not telling them to lock you up in the house. Let's change long-distance running to walking. However, try not to go out after 18:00 in the afternoon. Get up early in the morning and go for a walk. The time should not exceed 40 minutes. It's much easier at school. One lap is 400 meters. If time and venue permit, you can do two laps at most. Walk slowly and try to keep a constant pace. It will be fine slowly. Otherwise, you will become more and more careless in class in the future. If your grades keep dropping, you may get tired of studying. By then, it will be too late for the whole family to regret it. What's more troublesome is that you may suddenly develop chronic inflammation such as myocarditis. Dad, Mom, and Grandpa will have to worry about it!" Bian Mu patiently persuaded him.
Luo Zhanqi's efforts were finally not in vain. Bian Mu emphasized this, and the little boy listened to it. He nodded gently, indicating that he kept his word and would change it when he returned.
"Mr. Zeng! It's okay now. Just keep an eye on it! Go to a regular hospital every week to get an electrocardiogram. If it's convenient, forward it to me. We'll monitor it for a while." Bian Mu smiled and gave a few instructions.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! I said it! How could such a smart child start to fall behind in the second year of junior high school? Thank you again!" Mr. Zeng was naturally surprised and happy when things happened unexpectedly.
…
The next day was Sunday. Bian Mu worked overtime and asked Mr. Zeng to continue playing chess with Zhong Xiangxin and continue acupuncture treatment. Miss Zhong didn't come. She sent a short message to Bian Mu early in the morning, saying that her brother didn't lose his temper at night and his sleep was greatly improved.
…
Bian Mu was a little uneasy and didn't care about having lunch. He missed home a little, so he called Bian Yue and the two of them agreed to call an online taxi to go home.
The family had a happy meal together. Bian Mu felt that his parents were reluctant to let them leave in such a hurry, so he said hello to Bian Yue. The siblings stayed at home for one night. That night, his parents felt particularly at peace...
