I called my mother and asked which ward my father was in.
When I came to the corridor, I happened to see my mother standing on the other side of the corridor.
My mother, who was already thin, is even thinner now. Her eyes when she looks at me are full of sorrow.
I walked over quickly: "Mom, where is dad?"
¡°It¡¯s in the ward in front.¡± My mother pointed and led me over.
When I walked into the ward, a stronger smell of medicine hit my face, which added to the fear in my heart.
I saw my father.
He was lying on the bed wearing a white hospital gown, with a transparent tube connected to his father's nose. He could no longer eat and could only rely on nasal feeding.
In my impression, my father is a typical farmer, with dark skin, not tall but very strong.
But the father I see now is very thin, at least dozens of pounds lighter than before. His eyes are closed, which makes me more and more scared.
"Dad." I walked up to him and called softly.
After about a few seconds, my father slowly opened his eyes. He looked at me blankly, and it took a few more seconds before he said, "Are you here?"
"I am coming."
We, father and son, looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment.
Mother's love is like water, lingering and gentle; father's love is like a mountain, thick and severe.
The relationship between father and son does not need too many verbal modifications. He looks at me and I look at him, and everything is understood naturally.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?"
"It's still the same. Why don't I be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate? At worst, I'll die." The father said.
"Chemotherapy and surgery in the hospital will help your disease. You can stay there for a while. You don't have to worry about money." I comforted my father.
"Everything goes well with our family, but don't quarrel with your wife because of my illness." My father warned me sincerely.
My father is indeed a man who has been working hard for decades and is very thorough in his dealings.
¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve made a little money during this period, which is enough to spend.¡± I could only say this to my father, so as not to worry him.
???????????????? Actually, I don¡¯t know how to make any money, I¡¯m still heavily in debt, and I only have to sell my car to pay for medical treatment.
But I understand one thing. No matter how hard or tiring life is for a wanderer away from home, he must smile when he returns home and be in a good mood so that the elderly can feel at ease.
The ancients said: When parents are here, if you don¡¯t travel far away, you will travel well.
Father didn¡¯t say much and nodded.
He seemed sleepy and his eyes slowly closed.
People are prone to mental fatigue in old age. Coupled with the torment of illness, my father suffered too much during this period.
My mother winked at me and I followed her out of the ward.
"Mom, what's the matter?" I asked quietly in a low voice when I came outside the ward.
"You have to pay the money tomorrow. Have you got the money together?"
"I've collected enough 200,000 yuan. My sister said she would give 50,000 yuan. I'll call and ask."
"Fortunately, we collected enough money." The mother reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.
I called my sister, and it rang for a long time before someone answered.
The person who answered the phone was not my sister, but my brother-in-law.
"Gao Hui, I heard that you want us to collect 50,000 yuan to treat dad's illness, right?" I heard that my brother-in-law seemed to be a little emotional.
Before I could speak, my brother-in-law spoke up again: "It's not that you don't know that we are just an ordinary family. We have to pay off the mortgage every month and raise children. The 50,000 yuan is our education fund, and the children also need Go to school."
"What are you doing!" I heard my sister's sharp voice again, and she seemed to snatch the phone away.
"Why didn't you answer the phone and didn't say anything to me? Why are you saying such things?" my sister yelled at her brother-in-law.
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite, and I just feel a huge headache.
"Gao Qin, am I not telling the truth?"
"Our family only has this 50,000 yuan in savings. If we take it all away, will the whole family go to drink the northwest wind?" The dissatisfied voice of the brother-in-law rang in his ears.
"Go, go, go! Go and do your job!" The younger sister pushed her husband away.
"Brother, I was washing the dishes just now and didn't hear the phone ring."
"It's okay. Are you taking out the money before the negotiation is complete?" I asked.
"Human life is at stake, I don't have time to complain, but he doesn't agree." Sister? said dissatisfiedly.
"Sister, I'm actually calling you to tell you that we've almost collected the money. You only need to raise 10,000 yuan, not 50,000 yuan." I said to my sister.
"Brother, when will you collect the money?" my sister asked with some disbelief. She also knew that I have been relatively poor in the past two years.
I could only hold back the anguish in my heart and continue to make up a story: "I sold my car and asked my friends to borrow part of it. Although I am not doing well now, my former friends still have some money."
"Brother, I really have you. It's really different in different circles."
¡°I¡¯ll transfer the ten thousand yuan later.¡± My sister said.
After we finished chatting, my mother asked me: ¡°Ah Hui, didn¡¯t you say you only raised 200,000 yuan?¡±
Facing my mother, I could only tell the truth: "If I didn't say this, my sister's family would have a big conflict. It's not easy for them. It's very difficult for them to come up with 50,000 yuan at once."
¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, since I can raise 200,000, I don¡¯t have to raise another 40,000.¡±
My mother didn¡¯t say anything, she believed me.
I feel like the pressure on my body is like a heavy weight, weighing me down so much that I can¡¯t breathe.
"You chat with Dad here first, and I'll go home and take a look." I said to my mother.
"I'll go back and cook some food." My mother looked at me and said.
"Let me cook. I haven't cooked for you for a long time." I said to my mother.
Unable to defeat me, my mother had no choice but to let me go home.
Actually, besides cooking, another reason why I insisted on going home was to borrow money.
Although it is easy to tell my sister and mother, I know how difficult it is to borrow money now.
I have borrowed money from all the friends I can borrow from. It is impossible to borrow money from my previous circle of friends. I can only pay attention to my former family.
I took a taxi back home, and it was still the same environment I hadn¡¯t seen in a long time.
The three-and-a-half-story red brick building has not yet been renovated.
After sitting at home for a while, I looked through my address book and called my cousin.
My cousin is one year older than me. He stopped studying after junior high school and followed his father to take care of the fish ponds. Later, after he saved some money, he contracted several fish ponds. In the past few years, he has become more and more prosperous.
I still remember that when I was studying, I often went to my cousin¡¯s fish pond to help out during the winter and summer vacations. Their family would occasionally give us some fish. A few years ago, due to the cold wave, many fish in the fish pond were frozen to death. Seeing that my cousin was about to lose all his money, he called me for help. I transferred him 100,000 yuan without saying a word. Money turnover.
Although we are not biological brothers, the relationship we have lived together since childhood is still very strong.
For the remaining 40,000 yuan, I could only ask my cousin to borrow it.
"Ah Hui, why did you call me all of a sudden? You're such a stranger!" My cousin said with some surprise.
"Brother Yang, are you at home? I'm home and want to see you." My cousin's full name is Gao Yang.
¡°I¡¯m at home, I happened to catch a net of fish, hurry up and take those few back!¡±
My cousin¡¯s house is not far from my home, it only takes a few minutes to walk. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
