C359 Autism

Only when he heard Hu Yongxin urge him again, did he finally let out a light cough and said: "Hmm … Before I explain the old man's illness, I would like to ask Company Commander Zhao … "How often do you spend a year with the old man?"

The Company Commander Zhao was slightly startled, as he did not understand why Lu Shan asked him this question. However, when he recalled that Lu Shan had exposed the Gauguin, he did not let him be cheated, hence he still replied in embarrassment: "About that … Come to think of it, I haven't lived with my mother in years! Our unit is stationed at a remote border. Every time we leave the mountain, it will be very troublesome. Furthermore … There are so many people in our company, and we all have to take turns to visit our families, so … I won't be able to go home until at least once every three years! "

"When I came home this time, my mom was quite well at the beginning, but when my vacation was almost over, she suddenly fell ill, and then I …" Sigh, I had no choice but to take another month off and bring my mother around to see a doctor, but the result is … After walking through more than ten hospitals, not a single one of them have been able to get a definite diagnosis! "

Hearing Company Commander Zhao's words, Lu Shan had a rough idea of what was going on! But then he asked, "Then …" Does Company Commander Zhao have any other brothers and sisters? Or perhaps … Does Company Commander Zhao have a wife and children? Who does this old man usually live with!? "

Company Commander Zhao shook his head and said, "People my age are definitely all only children. Where did these brothers and sisters come from? Furthermore … I spend all my time in the garrison, rarely going home, getting married... Who would marry a man like me who hadn't returned home for so many years! And my father died a long time ago, so... My mother has been living alone all these years! "

"Oh …" "Understood!"

Lu Shan nodded, then turned his gaze back to the old lady, only to see the old lady looking at her son with a loving gaze, and then … At the corners of the old lady's eyes, there were actually two glistening tears!

Seeing this, he could not help but sigh and say, "Actually, in my opinion... The old man got sick... It's probably because of autism! "

Company Commander Zhao was startled when he heard that, and asked in bewilderment, "What … Autism? This... Is there such a disease? "

At this time, Gao Ping, who had been extremely cautious and did not dare to speak, finally found an opportunity and immediately jumped out while pointing at Lu Shan and roared, "Dr. Lu, are you joking with this patient again? And autism... Why don't you tell me the old lady is sick with lovesickness... "Ugh …"

As soon as Gao Ping said this, he saw Company Commander Zhao glaring at him with an angry face. He knew he made a mistake and immediately smiled, "Sorry …. Sorry … I'm not saying that the old lady got amorous and had a slip of the tongue... A slip of the tongue! I mean... This Dr. Lu was simply too outrageous, he was simply speaking nonsense! And autism... How could there be such an illness in the world, he is just spouting nonsense, Company Commander Zhao, you must not listen to him! "

Seeing that, Hu Yongxin also sneered: "That's right. What autism, I've been a Chinese doctor my whole life, but I've never heard of this disease, I'm afraid this is just Dr. Lu spouting nonsense! Sigh … How can you do that? You are still young, and not long after you left the school, your knowledge and experience were shallow. Now that you have come to our hospital and have been given a chance by the authorities, you should learn more from the doctors. How can you talk nonsense like this! "

Seeing that these people were questioning him, Lu Shan could not help but smile lightly, and said: "Everyone … Just because you haven't heard of this disease doesn't mean that there isn't such a disease in the world. Actually... The Gauguin was right! Although the old lady's disease was not lovesick, it was similar to this lovesick disease. Lovesick... It is a person who has reached an extreme level of yearning for the person they love and is thus unable to sleep due to being unable to eat. It is unavoidable for one to fall into deep slumber after such a long period of time.

"And the old lady's situation is similar... It wasn't because she missed anyone, but because she hadn't seen her only kin for a long time. In the end, she finally managed to get her son to come back, but not long after that, her son had to be far away again. She didn't know how long she would wait the next time she saw her son. The old lady was so sad that she couldn't even eat when she thought of how she would have to live alone in the future! And because the elderly ate less, their bodies were weak, and they could only barely survive after a long period of sleep … Old man, am I right? "

After the old lady heard what Lu Shan had to say, she could no longer hold it in and started crying loudly. She hugged Company Commander Zhao and said with tears streaming down her face, "Son … Let's not be soldiers, okay? Mom really can't bear to part with you … I can't bear to let you leave my mom's side … "Sob, sob, sob …"

Company Commander Zhao's expression first froze, but then he immediately hugged her mother with slightly red eyes and said: "Mom … I can't leave you, but... But I am a soldier! "

When he said "I am a soldier", Lu Shan couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for him.

Although it was a peaceful time, and joining the army wasn't as dangerous and tiring as it was during the war, but … They also wanted to protect the country's security, and many people were like the Company Commander Zhao, staying at the remote border post for a few years, far away from their relatives and friends. And because of their responsibilities, Company Commander Zhao marrying and having children, which all the ordinary people had to go through, became an extravagant hope for them.

Mother Zhao cried again, "But you... You're already over thirty years old, and you haven't even talked about a girlfriend yet. Wu wu wu … Mom knows you're a soldier, so you have to do your duty as a soldier! But Mom … Have you never thought of doing your duty as a son? "

Company Commander Zhao looked dejected, for a moment, he did not know what to say!

Lu Shan sighed and said: "Company Commander Zhao. You're already over thirty years old, and you should have been in the army for at least ten years, right? You have already paid the most precious ten years of youth for the country, I think... That was enough. There are billions of people in our country, and countless youths grow up every year. Similarly, many of them are willing to take on such responsibilities! And now … Now that auntie has asked you to do this, I think... You'd better think about it! Just as the auntie said... As a soldier, you have to bear the responsibility of a soldier, but as the son of an aunt, don't you need to fulfill the responsibility of a son? As the saying goes, filial piety comes first... These words might be one-sided, but it made sense. Your life was first given to you by your parents. Furthermore, in order to make you grow up, they even brought out countless hardships and love. However … How much did you return to your parents? "Since you have already devoted more than ten years to the country and the army, shouldn't you repay your poor, lonely mother?"

Hearing that, Company Commander Zhao became excited, he looked at his mother's haggard face, then clenched his fists and nodded strongly: "Okay …" Mom! I'll apply to the higher ups to retire, and my son will be at home with you from now on … Marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to your grandson, and the family will be lively and rowdy. Then, you will no longer be alone! "
