Xiao Guang was also eager to see his sister and father, to make sounds, and to let them know that he could hear the outside world now.
The feeling he had now was both novel and wonderful.
He could hear them talking. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, he thought it was especially nice.
He followed Assistant Lu to the ward.
Shen Weiguo had been looking forward to it eagerly and couldn't restrain his excitement.
When he saw Xiao Guang at this moment, he immediately called out, "Xiao Guang, can you hear now?"
His eyes were moist.
Seeing his father's eager eyes, although Xiao Guang didn't know what his father was saying, he guessed that his father must be asking him if he could hear.
He immediately nodded vigorously.
Then he opened his mouth with difficulty and made a sound, "Pa... Pa..."
He looked rather clumsy, as if his mouth and voice didn't listen to him.
"Hey, hey!" Shen Weiguo's voice trembled with excitement.
He held Shen Mo Di's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Xiao Guang can speak. Xiao Guang can hear sounds. Xiao Guang will get better."
Perhaps Xiao Guang's "Pa Pa" sounded insignificant and extremely unstandard to outsiders, but to close relatives, it was the most beautiful beginning and full of hope.
Shen Mo Di's eyes also turned red. She couldn't control her excitement either, "Yes, Xiao Guang can hear sounds now. Dad, don't get excited. Relax. Xiao Guang will get better day by day. Xiao Guang is only fifteen years old. He still has a wonderful life ahead. Everything will be okay. Let's not rush and don't put pressure on Xiao Guang."
Shen Weiguo burst into tears, but they were tears of joy, "Yes, we won't put pressure on Xiao Guang. Xiao Guang still has a wonderful life ahead. Our family will get better."
Huo Mingze also smiled and said, "Dad, relax and lie down to have a good rest. Xiao Guang is smart and will be able to speak soon."
"Mingze, Dad thanks you!" Shen Weiguo said gratefully and was about to get out of bed to thank Huo Mingze.
Huo Mingze quickly pressed him down, "Dad, lie down. Have a good rest. We are a family. These are all what I should do."
"Yes, we are a family. Dad still wants to thank you. You are not only Mo Di's husband but also a great benefactor of our Shen family."
"Dad, you are too kind."
"Xiao Guang, quickly thank your brother-in-law," Shen Weiguo immediately gestured to Xiao Guang.
Xiao Guang gratefully gestured to Huo Mingze and bowed to him.
Huo Mingze immediately helped Xiao Guang up.
Shen Mo Di translated for Xiao Guang, "Xiao Guang said, thank you, brother-in-law. When he grows up, he will definitely work hard to repay you."
Assistant Lu couldn't help but add in a low voice, "President, Xiao Guang also said that he hopes you will treat sister well. Otherwise, even if you are kind to him, he will protect sister."
Shen Mo Di was quite helpless when she heard Assistant Lu's words. She deliberately didn't translate the latter part of the sign language just now.
Huo Mingze smiled and nodded to Xiao Guang, "Okay."
Then he reached out and touched Shen Mo Di's head.
He sat down again and held Shen Mo Di's hand on the quilt.
Shen Mo Di also held Huo Mingze's hand back. All her gratitude was in this handshake.
"Uncle, I'll take Xiao Guang for training now," Assistant Lu was full of enthusiasm.
He was determined to ensure that Xiao Guang would make progress today.
He had already prepared all kinds of small toys for Xiao Guang's training long ago.
Now in his backpack, there were a whole backpack of electronic small animals. He would first let Xiao Guang identify the sounds of various small animals.
Given Xiao Guang's current situation, he needed to listen more and distinguish more.
Today, he would learn these small animals first and then learn to say "father".
As for the rest, he could take it slow.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, thank you," Shen Weiguo thanked him repeatedly.
"Uncle, you're welcome. Xiao Guang, let's go. We're going for training," Assistant Lu talked to Xiao Guang while gesturing.
Xiao Guang excitedly followed Assistant Lu and left.
Huo Mingze said, "Let's have a nice meal to celebrate later. I'll ask Qiu Zhan if Dad can go out to eat with us."
Shen Weiguo immediately said, "Dad won't go. You young people just celebrate."
Coincidentally, Qiu Zhan came over in his white coat and smiled, "Uncle is currently taking traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning and it's not suitable for him to go out to eat. Don't worry. Our hospital cafeteria makes arrangements every day."
"Then shall we bring some fruit back?" Huo Mingze said.
"In this season, just bring apples," Although Qiu Zhan himself never had dietary restrictions when eating, he had high requirements for patients' dietary restrictions.
For all the patients admitted to his hospital, he would recommend them not to eat out-of-season vegetables and fruits.
Qiu Zhan came over to take Shen Weiguo's pulse as usual and smiled, "Uncle, you're in a very good state today. Keep this state every day and you'll get better and better."
Actually, this was just routine encouragement.
He knew best about Shen Weiguo's condition. He couldn't hold on for too long, at most two weeks.
"Thank you, Doctor Qiu," Shen Weiguo was happy to hear that he would get better.
He didn't ask to live for a long time. If he could hear Xiao Guang speak, see Mo Di's wedding, and hear the news that Mo Di was pregnant, he would be satisfied.
"Uncle, just relax now. Don't force yourself when you're sleepy. It doesn't matter if you sleep a few more times a day," In the advanced stage, it was normal to have poor energy, get sleepy easily, and not be able to sleep soundly.
"Okay, I'll take a nap now," Shen Weiguo lay down and closed his eyes.
Shen Mo Di immediately tucked the quilt corners for Dad considerately and put Dad's hands inside the quilt.
More than an hour later, Assistant Lu excitedly brought Xiao Guang back.
As soon as he entered the ward, he exclaimed, "Xiao Guang is so smart. He can already distinguish the calls of various animals and has also learned to say 'father'."
Shen Weiguo was a light sleeper and had woken up long ago. He had been resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing Assistant Lu's voice at this moment, he immediately opened his eyes.
Shen Mo Di helped Dad sit up.
Huo Mingze helped him prop up the pillow.
Shen Weiguo looked at Xiao Guang excitedly.
Xiao Guang also looked at his father, his eyes red.
He opened his mouth and called out, "Dad..."
Although his mouth movements seemed a bit clumsy, his pronunciation was surprisingly clear.
"Hey, hey," Shen Weiguo burst into tears of joy again.
Shen Mo Di immediately took a tissue to wipe Dad's tears and comforted him, "Dad, relax. Don't get excited. Xiao Guang will get better and better."
"Jie, Jie," Xiao Guang called out again.
Shen Mo Di's hand that was wiping tears suddenly stopped.
She also looked at Xiao Guang excitedly.
Xiao Guang had actually learned to say "father" and "sister" at the same time.
She looked at Xiao Guang with teary eyes and gestured in sign language, "You're so great. Sister is proud of you."
Xiao Guang also gestured, "Sister, I feel so happy. The feeling of being able to hear sounds is so wonderful. I heard the calls of fish, cats, dogs, ducks and other animals."
Shen Weiguo looked at Xiao Guang's gestures and was full of relief. He gestured encouragingly, "Child, don't rush. Take it one day at a time."
"Dad," Xiao Guang called out again.
"Hey, hey," Shen Weiguo excitedly responded.
Qiu Zhan came over with a nurse carrying Shen Weiguo's traditional Chinese medicine and said, "You guys go and have dinner. I'll take good care of Uncle here."
