Chapter 64: Visiting Dad (Asking for Votes, Asking for Collections)
Muzi nervously pushed open the door of the ward, his mother sat on the edge of the bed peeling apples, and his father was half-lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Mom felt the gaze, and when she looked up, she saw Muzi standing straight at the door, and hurriedly peeled half of the apple in her hand, gently put it in the fruit bowl, got up and took Muzi's hand, and the two of them gently walked out of the ward.
When he came to the corridor of the hospital ward, his mother's tears came out at once, and Muzi quickly took out a tissue and handed it to his mother.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and my mother has a lot of gray hair on her head, and she is also haggard.
Mom twitched gently, didn't say anything for a long time, Muzi opened his arms, hugged his mother in his arms, patted his mother's back, and said, "Mom, I'm back, you've worked hard." ”
Mom's tears still couldn't stop flowing, and she said: "In the past two days, your father has started chemotherapy, and he has lost a lot of hair, drug side effects, ulcers in the mouth, and he can't eat." I wanted to give him more fruit, but he wouldn't eat ...... fruit."
"Mom, I know, I know. These days, you've worked hard. ”
Muzi's words were a little pale, she was actually very flustered and anxious, but she still had to pretend to comfort her mother calmly.
"Dad will be fine. Cooperate well with the doctor's treatment, and he will definitely get better. Did the doctor tell me about my dad's treatment plan?"
After a long time, my mother's mood gradually calmed down: "The hospital asked him to do five rounds of chemotherapy first, and then rest for a period of observation. ”
Saying that, my mother talked and blamed herself: "Muzi, you say, am I too harsh on your father, after so many years, he is not a great evil, he is just a child who has not grown up."
"I always scolded him everywhere, quarreled with him at every turn, quarreled with him, and now I really regret it. ”
Muzi said: "Mom, no one wants Dad to be sick, it has nothing to do with you, don't be sad and fall ill too much, you are now the backbone of Daddy, if he sees you like this, he will be even more unable to hold on." “
Mom said, "I'm fine, no matter what, I'll take good care of your dad." ”
Mother is a virtuous, capable and strong woman, decades of husband and wife, decades of companionship, at this time can better reflect that companionship is the most affectionate confession.
Although my parents had a lot of conflicts and disputes in the past, at this moment, they rely on each other.
Just like what I have always hoped, for the rest of my life, until death.
Muzi took out a bank card and handed it to his mother, "Mom, there are 50,000 yuan here, you take it first." If that's not enough, tell me again. ”
Mom pushed the bank card back to Muzi: "How long have you been working? Most of your father's treatment can be reimbursed with social security, thanks to the state and the party. ”
"Mom, you must take it, this is a piece of my heart. If you don't take it, then I won't leave, and I'll take care of Dad with you. Muzi insisted.
Mom sighed helplessly and said, "You kid, what stupid thing to say, your father has me here, and I will take good care of it." ”
Muzi stuffed the card into the pocket of her mother's blouse, wiped away her mother's tears with her hands, and said, "Let's go to the ward and see Dad." ”
"Good. The two entered the room.
I don't know when Dad has opened his eyes, he is looking around uneasily, maybe he is looking for Mom.
Shouldn't a man who is still like a child when he is old be enviable? But at this time, he suddenly fell ill, and his father's whole expression was haggard and weak.
He should be more flustered than his mother, and he should be very afraid of death.
Seeing Muzi and his mother walk into the ward together, his somewhat flustered eyes settled down for a moment.
"The kid is back to see you. Mom said
"Dad. Muzi shouted, disease is a demon, in a few months, if only a few gray hairs and a few wrinkles are left on his mother's body, but his father has already judged the two of them, his hair is thin, his face is blue, and his whole person is puffy.
"Muzi. Dad called out, his voice was weak and indistinct, Muzi thought that just now his mother said that Dad had some mouth ulcers because of the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, and it should be a pain in the mouth, so it was not easy to speak.
Muzi held back his tears and hurriedly said, "Dad, you talk less and rest more." ”
Mom sat down on the edge of the bed, then picked up the unsold half of the apple and continued to peel.
Mom is very good at knife work, peeled off a long piece of apple skin, then cut off a piece of apple flesh, and then cut the apple flesh into thin slices and handed them to Dad one by one in a fruit bowl.
Dad shook his head lightly and said no, but Mom insisted: "You have to supplement more vitamins and eat more fruits." ”
Dad couldn't help it, and some unhappily took a small slice of apple and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly while frowning a little.
Maybe it was eating apples that caused his mouth sores to hurt, he was like a child, even eating a small thin apple was a little laborious, the cycle of life, old and young.
When we were young, we babbled and frothed, and when we were old, we seemed to be back to the beginning of life.
Muzi had a sour nose, tried to make himself look no different, and said:
"Dad, your mental state seems to be very good, the doctor said that your foundation is good, and after these treatments, you can go home and rest. ”
"Now that medicine is developed, you don't have to worry about it, it's fine. ”
Dad opened his mouth slightly to say something, but finally he didn't say anything, and nodded gently.
The mother took out the savings card that Muzi gave her, and emphasized: "This child, as soon as he came back, he gave me a savings card of 50,000 yuan, and I had to accept it, saying that it would be used for your treatment." ”
Grandpa shook his head vigorously: "Don't, don't want your money." ”
Muzi said: "Dad, you raised me so big, I don't have a chance to be filial, you are sick, this is as it should be, you must accept it." ”
Dad's eyes were red, such a man in his fifties and fifties, at this moment, because of his daughter's tens of thousands of bank cards, his eyes were red.
Muzi knew that this was not just because of money, but for so many years, whether it was between father and mother, or between father and mother, or between father and daughter, all the mustard was put down at this moment.
The family is a family after all, no matter who has any problems, the family will not let it go, and will definitely accompany him all the way, which is the strongest backing.
Dad squeezed out a few words from his mouth with difficulty: "Muzi, Dad didn't, over the years, Dad didn't fulfill his responsibilities, you and your mother suffered." ”
"Dad's tens of thousands of dollars, hey, it really shouldn't be!"
Muzi gritted her teeth hard, trying to keep herself calm, but her mother shed tears on the side.
Muzi took a deep breath slowly and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?" We are a family, you have to cooperate with the treatment, get better soon, our family is happy, I will take you to Shencheng, and take you out for a trip." ”
After Muzi came back, his mother was like taking a reassuring pill, and the whole person was not so flustered, the two of them took turns to go to the hospital to accompany Dad, Dad's mood was much better, and a smile appeared on his face, maybe it was coughing for too long, this time he suddenly started chemotherapy, and the effect of the drug was quite obvious, but the side effects were indeed a little big, and the chemotherapy person who had done a course of treatment was like going to the ghost door and shutting down.
