Chapter 001: Bad News
Autumn nights are as cool as water.
Wang Chen, who had been looking for a job for a day to no avail, returned to the rental house and yawned tiredly, as a fresh graduate, his current task is to support himself, but now the job is not so easy to find.
Just after taking a shower, Wang Chen felt that he was a lot more energetic.
There was a ding dong, and the mobile phone WeChat placed at the bedside rang.
He walked over and picked it up and saw that it was a message from the landlord's aunt: Xiao Wang, it's time to pay the rent.
Wang Chen hurriedly replied with a message: Will it be okay for you the day after tomorrow?
Aunt Landlord: Okay.
Whew, fortunately, the landlord is reasonable.
Putting down the phone, he smiled a little helplessly, there were only more than seven hundred left in his pocket, and the rent of the rented single room was eight hundred, which was a little worse.
Alas, I have to ask my parents for money again.
Wang Chen felt that he was living a little aggrieved, and when he didn't graduate, he imagined that he would have a bright future in the future, and only after graduation did he realize that the word "quantity" was written wrong, and it should be a bright future.
Why is it so hard to find a job?
Xiaoxiao was depressed, looked at the time, half past seven in the evening, well, call my parents.
Press the number.
It took five or six rings to get on.
"Hey, Xiaochen. Mother's slightly deep voice came.
Wang Chen immediately heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mother's voice was a little flustered, "It's okay, are you okay in Gusu?"
"Not yet. Wang Chen said honestly, "That, mom ......"
Before he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from the other end: "Sister, go and pay the hospitalization fee." ”
"Hey, here, Xiaochen, I won't tell you yet, there's something wrong. After saying that, the mother hurriedly hung up the phone.
Pay for hospitalization?
Mom in the hospital?
Wang Chen was stunned at the time, a little unresponsive, why did his mother go to the hospital at night? What happened at home?
He had a sense of foreboding, but considering that his mother was busy, he didn't call again, but called his grandmother's landline.
This time it was quickly connected.
"Hey, who's that?" Grandma's familiar voice sounded.
"Grandma, it's me Xiaochen. Wang Chen said.
Grandma's mood is not too high, "What's wrong with Xiaochen?"
Wang Chen wondered slightly: "My mother went to the hospital?"
Speaking of this, grandma sighed heavily, "Alas, yes, your dad has not been feeling well for the past two days, and he has lasted for two or three days, and he was caught by your mother and went to the hospital tonight." ”
Hearing this, Wang Chen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my dad?"
"I don't know. Grandma paused and continued: "There is always bleeding in the nose, there should be no big problem, don't worry, my mother will come back and ask later." ”
Bleeding from the nose all the time?
Don't you remember that Dad has a sand nose?
You can't really get sick, right?
Wang Chen frowned, absentmindedly said goodbye to his grandmother and hung up the phone, and then sent a WeChat message to his mother: Mom, what's wrong with my dad?
Waited five minutes.
There is no response, and it is estimated that it is busy.
He walked around the room a little restlessly, and several times he couldn't help but want to call and ask about the situation again, but in the end he couldn't help it, and his mind couldn't help but think of what the nurse had just told his mother to pay for the hospitalization.
It is estimated that it is quite serious, otherwise it will not be hospitalized.
What the hell happened to Dad?
Wang Chen was a little anxious.
At this time, my mother finally replied to WeChat: It's nothing, don't worry.
Nothing to hospitalize?
His first reaction was that his mother didn't want him to worry, and asked again: Don't lie to me, tell me quickly.
Mother: It's a nosebleed, and now the doctor is examining him, and I don't know what's wrong.
Wang Chen: Well, let me know when the results are out.
Putting down the phone, his mind was in a mess, like fifteen buckets fetching water, up and down.
I hope Dad will be fine.
God forbid.
Wang Chen, who has never been too superstitious, can only pray like this at the moment.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Half an hour passed.
His mother still didn't send a message to call to inform him of the result, Wang Chen's heart became heavier and heavier, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
I don't know if it's a matter of concern, Wang Chen suddenly heard an electronic synthesis sound.
"Drop, the energy is full. ”
The voice was so small that he thought he had misheard it and didn't care.
Wang Chen, who was anxiously waiting for his mother's information call, didn't pay attention at all, the mobile phone screen automatically lit up just now, and it went out in two or three seconds.
No way.
I can't wait any longer.
Wang Chen couldn't sit still, and he was about to call again when he touched his phone to unlock it, but before he dialed the number, he was a little surprised to find that there was a red dragon-like icon on the phone screen, and there was no text underneath.
Don't remember what you downloaded?
In normal times, he might click in to take a look and delete the app if he finds it, but now he is worried about his father, how can he be in the mood to see what it is.
Call your mother again.
Toot-toot –
It rang for dozens of seconds, but no one answered.
Wang Chen was in a worse mood, his heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and he was even more worried.
What's going on?
Why doesn't Mom answer the phone?
He wanted to pack up his things and rushed back to his hometown overnight.
Thankfully, the ringing of his cell phone stopped him from doing so.
Wang Chen hurriedly looked at the mobile phone screen, it was his mother calling, he quickly connected, and asked in the first sentence: "Mom, is my dad okay?"
"Uh......h Whining. When I came up, I heard my mother's voice choked up slightly, "Your father...... Your dad has nasopharyngeal cancer. ”
What the?
Nasopharyngeal cancer?
Hearing this thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day, Wang Chen's whole person was blindfolded, and he didn't react at all.
Cancer is a very scary thing for anyone, and one can die if you are not careful!
As soon as he thought of the consequences, Wang Chen's face turned white.
Just as I wanted to say something more, a voice changed on the other end of the phone, it was my grandfather's, "Xiaochen, don't worry too much, I just heard from the doctor that in the early stage, the cure rate is very high, and it can reach 70%." ”
There's still a 30% chance that it's not good!
Wang Chen's anxious speech was a little unfavorable, "Master...... Grandpa, which hospital are you in, I'll be back tomorrow. ”
Grandpa said calmly: "In the town people's hospital, the doctor said that he might let your father transfer to the county people's hospital tomorrow, and you can talk about it when you get home." ”
"Well, got it. ”
Hung up the phone.
Wang Chen leaned weakly on the head of the bed, his heart was in a panic, and he instinctively took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, clicked and clicked several times before lighting the cigarette and inhaling heavily.
How so?
How could Dad get such a bad disease?
He's a mess of his mind, calm, calm, he must calm down.
Wang Chen forced himself not to think nonsense, opened the mobile phone webpage, and searched for information about nasopharyngeal cancer.
After watching it for a few minutes, he had a general understanding of nasopharyngeal cancer, and the early cure rate in China did reach 70 percent, and his grandfather did not talk nonsense, which was barely a blessing in misfortune for Wang Chen, after all, the probability of his father being treated was very high.
However, there is also bad news.
The cost of treatment may be as much as ten or two hundred thousand!
Although he doesn't know much about his family's financial situation, Wang Chen knows that after four years of college, his parents have already emptied their savings, and even if they have savings, they won't have too much.
More than 100,000 or 200,000 will definitely not be able to take
If you don't have money, the hospital won't do charity free treatment!
What to do?
Wang Chen felt very powerless, his smoking hands were trembling slightly, he couldn't find a job, and he couldn't pay the rent, let alone take out a huge amount of money of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to save his father, even if he knew that the family would not let him raise money, but he still felt that he was useless, and he couldn't do anything about this kind of thing.
