Chapter 110 Hypertension
-
After Xia Mi locked the door, he first rode his bicycle to find Carpenter Wei, negotiated the details, paid the money and was ready to pick it up in three days.
Then Xia Mi prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
Before leaving Carpenter Wei's house, Xia Mi ran into Zhang Zijie. Since the last time they said goodbye at home, Zhang Zijie had really obeyed and went to the hospital to remove the stitches.
My feet are completely healed now.
After not seeing each other for a while, Zhang Zijie's height had already reached Xia Mi's shoulders.
"Teacher Xia?" Zhang Zijie was a little surprised to see Xia Mi.
Xia Mi smiled at him and said, "You also come to Carpenter Wei to get something?"
"Well." Zhang Zijie held the money in his hand, his eyes were red and swollen, "My grandma asked me to come to Uncle Wei to pack something."
Xia Mi's eyes stayed on his red and swollen eyes, thinking that he had not seen his grandmother at his house last time.
Carpenter Wei limped out of the house, "Little Zijie, why are you here again? I told you that I gave that coffin to your grandma. She took good care of us before."
In the coffin, Xia Mi's pupils shrank, not daring to show too much expression.
No wonder Zhang Zijie's condition looked much worse than before. It turned out that the old man was dying.
"Uncle Wei, my grandma said that this money must be given to you. You have taken care of us all these years, so we can't ask for it in vain."
Zhang Zijie walked to Carpenter Wei and persistently handed the money to him.
"You must accept it, grandma said. If you don't accept it, she won't be able to rest in peace even after she leaves."
Carpenter Wei is now over fifty. He used to work for the commune. His back leg was injured by a piece of wood and his right calf suffered a comminuted fracture. At that time, the only option was amputation.
Carpenter Wei looked at the crumpled money and felt uncomfortable.
In the end, he couldn't resist Zhang Zijie and accepted the money, "Okay, I'll accept the money. Is your grandma really going to take it to see you?"
"I used to be able to distinguish between darkness and dawn, but now I can no longer. Recently I have been complaining that I can't breathe and my body feels heavy. I called the doctor to come over and see, but it all makes me..."
Zhang Zijie didn't finish his sentence, but people could guess it at once.
"Oh, your grandma's life is miserable, and your mother is the only daughter, so she ends up confused."
Carpenter Wei leaned on his crutch and sighed. After sighing, he realized that he should not export such thoughts in front of his children.
"Okay, I received the money, you go back early."
Zhang Zijie hummed and walked out.
Xia Mi was waiting at the door. She had just heard Zhang Zijie say that her grandmother's eyes hurt, so she waited specifically to follow him to see what was going on.
"Zhang Zijie, I will take you back."
Seeing someone coming out, Xia Mi stopped Zhang Zijie and patted the back seat of the bicycle.
Zhang Zijie jogged and climbed onto the back seat of the bicycle, "Teacher Xia, thank you."
Xia Mi rode her bicycle in the direction of Zhang Zijie's house. As she rode on the road, she asked, "When did your grandma become unwell?"
"Just a few days ago, I was out of breath very quickly, couldn't sleep at night, and complained of chest pain."
Xia Mi silently noted down a few characteristics.
Carpenter Wei's house was only ten minutes away from Zhang Zijie's house. Xia Mi parked the car in front of Zhang Zijie's door.
Zhang Zijie pushed the door directly and entered. The house was still dark and the light was very dim.
"Where's your grandma?"
Zhang Zijie was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what Teacher Xia wanted to see his grandmother for, he still took her to see her.
He opened the curtain and Grandma Zhang was lying on the bed. She noticed someone moving the mosquito net and opened her eyes. Her eyes were cloudy and dull, and her dark pupils turned white.
"Who?"
Grandma Zhang asked in a loud voice.
"It's me!" Zhang Zijie replied in a loud voice, and he was close to grandma's ear, "Grandma, our teacher is here to see you!"
As soon as she heard that the teacher was coming, Grandma Zhang struggled to get up from the bed. There were a lot of things piled on the bed, and due to her old age and inconvenient movements, it was extremely difficult for Grandma Zhang to get up, and she had to reach out and touch around.
"Teacher, is this boy naughty at school again?"
Xia Mi reached out to take Grandma Zhang's hand and raised her voice, "No, I heard Zhang Zijie say that you are feeling a little unwell, and I happen to understand a little bit."
"Grandma, tell me what's wrong with you, and I'll get you medicine!"
Xia Mi raised his voice and used the loudest volume in his life.
Fortunately, Grandma Zhang listened. She was worried about troubling others, so she waved her hand, "I won't bother you. I know my own health well and can't take care of it for a few days."
Zhang Zijie looked at Xia Mi nervously, with longing in his eyes.
"Then let's not get the medicine first. Grandma, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Please point to where it hurts."
Grandma was still hesitant. It wasn’t until Zhang Zijie started to persuade her that she raised her finger and pointed at her forehead. “My head hurts so much when I wake up in the morning. When I go to bed at night, I feel flustered again and I feel tired even when I turn over.”
Xia Mi raised her hand and waved it in front of her grandmother's eyes, "Then can you see my hand swinging?"
Grandma shook her head, "Can't see."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xia Mi had some idea in his mind and guessed that it was high blood pressure. Everything was consistent with it, but to be sure, it was best to take a blood pressure measurement.
"Teacher Xia, what is wrong with my grandma?"
Zhang Zijie walked outside and asked Xia Mi in a normal voice.
"I'm not sure yet. Does your grandma usually eat a lot?" Xia Mi was confused.
"A little bit. Grandma said the food I cooked had no taste, so I would add more salt, but nothing else."
As the elderly age, their sense of taste will deteriorate and they will eat more heavily.
In addition, this is an island, and food storage used to be preserved by pickling. This is probably the cause of Grandma Zhang's illness.
"In the future, you should put less salt, eat lightly, and help your grandma out for a walk every day. Don't lie in bed all the time. You can take a walk or bask in the sun outside."
Xia Mi thought for a while and said, "I'll come again tomorrow. From tonight on, you should stop cooking salty meals and sleep during the day."
The elderly sleep less and sleep so long during the day, so they inevitably stay up late at night and are prone to overthinking.
"Okay!"
"Then I'll leave first. I'll come back tomorrow."
Zhang Zijie sent Xia Mi away and stood there for a long time, refusing to go back to the house. When he went back in, he went directly into the house to wake up his grandmother.
"Grandma, don't sleep. Get up and walk. I'll help you."
Zhang Zijie was prepared to strictly implement what Xia Mi said.

Zhang Erqiao completed his mission and returned to the army, just in time for lunch. He and several others washed their hands and headed to the cafeteria.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they met Huo Jingchen and Li Weimin who had just finished a meeting. The two groups of people bumped into each other.
The cafeteria window hasn't opened yet, so we have to wait for a while.
Li Weimin asked first, "Have you finished scattering the realgar?"
"Report, everything is done!"
The four of them saluted in unison.
The moment Zhang Erqiao raised his hand, Huo Jingchen smelled a familiar fragrance, which penetrated directly into his nose.
Within a few seconds, Huo Jingchen instantly remembered this scent.
It's Xia Mi's perfume. She used to spray it a few times when she cleaned the room and wardrobe. Every time he opened the wardrobe, the scent hit his nose, and it even carried with him.
Huo Jingchen asked knowingly, "What makes your hands smell so good?"
"I..." Zhang Erqiao was about to explain, but the people next to him took the lead.
"Huo Ying, there is a nest of snake eggs under your bed. He accidentally touched the eggs when he was moving them. My sister-in-law was worried that the mother snake would come to the door at night, so she specially sprayed Erqiao with something that smelled really good, although A little girly.”
Hearing the snake eggs, Huo Jingchen's face changed slightly and her focus shifted.
