Chapter 824: I'm going to grow up
Ah Jiu's father lowered his head and kept smoking, and the smoke swirled in the living room.
If it was in normal times, Ah Jiu's mother would have reprimanded him a long time ago.
But today, no one says anything about him.
Ah Jiu's mother tried to squeeze out a smile on her face, and her face was a little pale.
She saw her sister's red eyes and patted her leg comfortingly.
"Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Didn't the doctor say that it's only the middle stage, the situation is not so bad, and this disease does not mean that it cannot be cured, so you don't have to worry too much about me. ”
Because of talking too much, Ah Jiu's mother seemed a little tired, her breathing became short, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Wang Xiaoya couldn't control her emotions for a while, and hugged Ah Jiu's mother and cried silently.
According to the examination report I just got, it has been confirmed that Ah Jiu's mother has leukemia!
There is basically no possibility of curing this disease, and once you get it, it is a matter of time before you get it.
At this time, Ah Jiu's father raised his head and said bitterly: "Didn't the doctor say it, you can take medicine first to maintain it, at least for seven or eight years." Now that medicine is developing so fast, there may be a cure for leukemia in seven or eight years. ”
Ah Jiu's mother hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly, "That medicine ...... And in my case, the doctor said that if you want to achieve the best results, you need to take two bottles a month. Our ...... Our family can't bear it. ”
Ah Jiu's father threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his toes, and said in a rough voice: "You must eat! The family's savings can still buy you medicine for half a year, and if it doesn't work after half a year, you will sell the house." This medicine is the last hope, and you can still earn it when the money is gone, and people ...... If there are no people, then this home will be gone!"
As soon as Wang Xiaoya heard the conversation between the two of them, a glint of hope appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked: "Can you last for seven or eight years after taking medicine?" Then what are you hesitating about, why don't you take it, sister, don't talk nonsense!"
Ah Jiu's mother smiled bitterly: "Xiaoya, you don't know, that medicine is too expensive, ridiculously expensive, not something that a family like us can afford." ”
"No matter how expensive it is, how much can it cost! Our family is not poor, can't we even afford to take medicine?" Wang Xiaoya asked unconvinced.
"One box costs twenty-five thousand, two boxes a month...... Ah Jiu's mother whispered.
The specific drug for the treatment of leukemia is Gleevec in Switzerland.
The efficacy of this drug is unique in the world, and it can increase the five-year survival rate of leukemia patients from 30% to 90%!
What's more, while taking the drug, it allows the patient to live without pain and basically live like a normal person.
But this drug is not affordable for ordinary people, in China, because it is not a medical insurance drug, it is a special targeted drug, and the price is very high.
A small bottle costs 25,000!
Moreover, this medicine cannot completely cure leukemia, but can only support the normal life of the patient and prevent the condition from worsening.
In general, it is necessary to continue taking the medicine for more than five years, or even longer.
Think about it, it costs 600,000 a year, and millions of dollars for five or six years, and normal families can afford it.
What's more, because Ah Jiu's mother has this disease, she will definitely not be able to run business across the country in the future, and the family's business will be delayed a lot.
In previous years, under normal circumstances, he could earn two or three hundred thousand yuan from business.
But in the future, even if Ah Jiu's father continues to run the business alone, it is estimated that he will not be able to make so much money.
On the one hand, family expenses have increased dramatically because of the need for medical treatment.
On the other hand, there is a lot less money, and it becomes more than enough to make ends meet.
The family's original savings, after buying this big house, there is not much left.
That's why Ah Jiu's father said that he wanted to sell the house, and the house in this area and this type of house can also be sold for a lot of money.
But this is the last resort to sell the house.
..................
Wang Xiaoya opened her mouth and stammered, what medicine is so expensive!
That's 50,000 yuan a month just for taking medicine?!
That's 600,000 a year......
In 2004, this figure was too much for most families to bear.
Although the conditions of Ah Jiu's family are not bad, they can't bear 600,000 a year and eat for six or seven years in a row.
No wonder my brother-in-law said he was going to sell the house.
But no matter how expensive it is, as long as it can save my sister's life, it's worth it.
Wang Xiaoya said without hesitation: "Then I have to eat! My salary is not low now, and I can't spend money at ordinary times, so I will bring it to you when the time comes!"
Ah Jiu's mother gratefully squeezed Wang Xiaoya's hand, and said with red eyes: "It's all me...... , dragging you down ......"
"Sister, what are you talking about, we are a family!" Wang Xiaoya interrupted her.
"Hey, we're all fine, it's poor Xiaotong. Ah Jiu's mother sighed.
"Let's talk to Xiaotong about this, the child is now older, there is no need to hide this kind of thing from her, and there is no way to hide it, sooner or later it will be known. Ah Jiu's father thought about it for a moment and said.
............
In the evening, Ah Jiu came home from school and found that his aunt was also there, and just about to say hello, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Mom and Dad and Aunt are all full of sadness.
"Mom, Dad, Auntie, what's wrong with you?" she asked cautiously.
"Xiaotong, it's out of school, come and sit down, Mom and Dad have something to tell you." Dad looked up and said tiredly.
Ah Jiu's heart beat a little faster, and she felt as if something bad was about to happen.
After sitting down next to her mother, her mother put her arm around Ah Jiu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Our Xiaotong is also an adult now, so there are some things that I want you to know." Didn't I go to the hospital for a check-up two days ago, and the results came out today. ”
Hearing this, Ah Jiu looked at her mother in horror, she already had a bad guess.
Sure enough, what her mother said next made her fall into the abyss!
"Chronic myelogenous leukemia is not too bad, at least not in the late stage. Mom pretended to be relaxed.
Hearing this terrible name, Ah Jiu's tears welled up all of a sudden, and she threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Okay, okay, didn't you just say it, the situation is not bad, it can still be treated. It is...... In the next few years, the conditions at home will be more tense, so telling you today is also to make you mentally prepared. Mom patted her on the back and said with relief.
Ah Jiu cried and said, "It doesn't matter how nervous I am, as long as your mother can get better......"
Ah Jiu's father and Wang Xiaoya sighed at the same time.
When this kind of thing happens at home, although it is very uncomfortable for parents, they can always resist it by gritting their teeth.
But I always feel sorry for the child.
Originally, Ah Jiu was happy every day, and the family was happy, but now it's all over.
............
After dinner, after returning to his room, Ah Jiu sat quietly alone for a long time.
Then I got up, turned on my computer, logged into World of Warcraft, and sent an email to the name in my friends list that didn't light up.
A man rode a white tiger and walked around the city with nostalgia.
Then he came to the wild again, and traveled to every place where he had farmed monsters and upgraded with his uncle.
Exit the game and delete the client.
I don't have much time to play games in the future.
took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and looked at his uncle's avatar, Ah Jiu looked at it for a while.
In order to cut off all contact with the game, Ah Jiu finally deleted his uncle's WeChat.
She knew that if she opened her mouth, her uncle might help her.
But in that case, Ah Jiu felt that the relationship between the two had changed, and it had become less pure, but a burden.
Moreover, 600,000 a year, it must be an astronomical amount for someone like Uncle who comes to the magic capital to work hard.
Ah Jiu is also a soft and rigid character, even if something so big happens at home, she doesn't want to use her pity to win the sympathy of others!
In the current situation at home, Ah Jiu thinks that he has to grow up and do his best to help his parents share some of the burden.
............
Yu Wenfei had lunch with the two principals at noon, and returned to the company in the afternoon to hold two meetings one after another.
After a busy day, it's quite tiring.
At six o'clock, he finished his official business and was ready to go home from work.
Because he was a little tired, he didn't drive himself today, but asked the driver to drive him back in a Rolls-Royce.
I have to say that it is indeed more comfortable to ride in a car than to drive.
Especially after driving too much, you will feel a little tired, and old drivers often prefer to take the car rather than drive it themselves.
He sat in the right seat in the back row, turned on the seat massage function, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
On the seat next to him is Hu Jingjing, and in the co-pilot's seat, of course, is Peier.
"Mr. Fei, the housekeeper asked for leave today, saying that something happened at home, and she went to deal with it. Hu Jingjing reported softly.
Wang Xiaoya is under her control, so naturally she will not call Yu Wenfei directly when she asks for leave, but just contact Hu Jingjing to say it.
For Wang Xiaoya, the housekeeper, Yu Wenfei's impression is still very good, and everything at home is in order under Wang Xiaoya's management.
"Something happened to her family, if there is any difficulty, if you can help, you can help. Yu Wenfei closed his eyes and said casually.
"Okay, I'll ask when she gets back. Hu Jingjing replied.
............
After dinner, I rested for a while, and swam with Hu Jingjing and Pei'er.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Wenfei returned to the study, turned on the computer, and prepared to play the game.
Usually this point is the time he and Ah Jiu agreed to play games together.
If the two of them don't have anything to do, they will go online on time.
Yuwenfei's account is to enjoy special treatment, if it is another player account, you want to log in to the World of Warcraft at this golden time at night.
Hehe, it is estimated that the queue will be in line until the second half of the night.
Yu Wenfei also used a little privilege to ask the Facebook Game Technology Department to directly set up his and Ah Jiu's accounts to log in directly without queuing.
is an ignorant little girl like Ah Jiu, after all, she rarely goes to places like game forums to discuss with others.
After playing for so long, I didn't realize that there was anything wrong with my account.
Occasionally, she heard others say that the login queue was long in line, and she was still a little puzzled in her heart, because she had never queued up......
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
