Chapter 18: My Father and Mother

In line with my thoughts, the doctors who traveled thousands of kilometers were advised to go to a big hospital for a check-up. The hospital in our town is so poorly equipped that there are some high-level examinations that cannot be done, and there is no way to draw conclusions. Judging from his current condition, his brother is just a weakened cardiopulmonary function.

As for the cause of the pain, these internal medicine experts did not dare to make a categorical conclusion.

As soon as they said they did, they pushed my brother out of the room and loaded him into the ambulance. The original ambulance driver was too tired, so Radish gave him 2,000 yuan to rest in our local area, and when he turned around, he would take the car back. We found another driver, my parents and turnips, we got in the car and rushed back.

Sitting in the car of the ambulance, looking at my brother who was lying on the bed and smirking at me, the corners of my eyes were a little wet.

My brother is ten centimeters taller than me, more than one meter and ninety, lying in the narrow carriage, looking a little aggrieved.

His lips were shriveled and his face sallow and speechless during this period of illness, but he was very happy to see me and kept smirking at me.

Suddenly, my brother took something out of his pocket and reached out to give it to me.

I quickly stretched out my hand and followed, my brother unfolded his palm, and there was a piece of white rabbit toffee lying quietly inside.

For a moment, I burst into tears.

When we were young, we liked to eat candy the most, and every time I took my brother to beg for candy every Chinese New Year. But because the people in this place are poor, they are generally given some inferior candy, and they rarely ask for White Rabbit toffee. Once he got the White Rabbit toffee, my brother bit the toffee open, and we were each half. At that time, I said to my brother that when I grow up and I will earn money, I will definitely buy you all the White Rabbit toffee in the village commissary.

After so many years, I no longer like to eat White Rabbit toffee, but every time I go home, my brother takes out a box of toffee that he treasures and gives me half of it.

I said to my brother in a trembling voice, "Brother, don't worry, you will be fine." ”

My brother still smirked at me, opened his mouth and said two words weakly: "Eat quickly." ”

"Hmm. I nodded, threw the toffee in my mouth, and was reluctant to chew it, just like I did when I was a child.

……

After another eighteen or nineteen hours of long-distance travel, we rushed to a tertiary hospital in Shanghai in the afternoon of the next day. After prior communication, the cardiologist and brain specialist here is already waiting for us.

Watching my brother being admitted to the ICU, my hanging heart finally relaxed.

I was worried all the way for fear of any accidents on the way.

Now that I finally arrived at the big hospital, watching my brother being pushed into the ward, I sat on the ground with weak legs.

Radishes, who had been running with me for two days and two nights, stood next to me and said with a smile: "Qi Tian, congratulations on finding your spirit." ”

I gasped and looked back, and the afternoon sunset pulled the figure of the turnip.

For the first time, I felt that this fat man's figure was a little majestic.

But it wasn't over yet, my parents followed us to Shanghai. Radish and I ran back and forth to settle my parents near the hospital, and Radish comforted my parents and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, my eldest brother's illness will definitely be fine. ”

My parents thanked the turnips, but they were still frowning.

When Radish went out to buy food for them, my mother said to me earnestly: "Tian'er, you have to thank you as a classmate in the future, they have helped you so much this time, you have to remember." ”

"Hmm. I nodded solemnly.

After consulting with my eldest brother's illness, the doctor decided to have surgery that night.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, watching my brother being pushed into the operating room, my parents and I waited outside the door with trepidation. The operation, which was originally expected to take five hours, was extended to eight hours.

When we came out of the operating room the next morning, the attending doctor told us, "The operation was successful and the patient will wake up soon." ”

It was only then that my heart completely relaxed, and I sat down on the chair outside the operating room, looking out the window at the morning sun, trying to suck in the morning air, with a relieved smile on my face.

Being able to breathe, being alive, sometimes really is the best.

……

After a week in the hospital, the doctor told us that we could be discharged.

You can go home and raise it, and make up for it, the patient's physique is too poor.

During my few days in the hospital, I was running between the hospital and my home every day. My eldest brother couldn't eat anything that was oily, so I cooked him some porridge and brought some chicken soup and rice for my parents. My parents took turns taking care of my eldest brother in the hospital, and sometimes the two of them slept in the hospital at night. I asked them to sleep in the hotel, but they didn't go, because the hotel cost 12 a night, and they were reluctant.

In the end, I really couldn't help it, so I asked my parents to go home to sleep, and I stayed with my eldest brother in the hospital at night.

The night before I was discharged from the hospital, I chatted with my eldest brother for half the night.

I told him about Li Tianhui and laughed. I also took out my phone to show him a picture of Xiaoxiao, and he knew that he was smirking, saying that it was so good-looking, and I told my eldest brother everything about me and Xiaoxiao. I don't know when, I myself was already in tears, until the eldest brother said, God, don't cry, what grievances do you have, with the eldest brother. I just reacted.

The eldest brother's tongue is a little short, and he always speaks with a short tongue sound, which is not very true.

After my eldest brother fell asleep, I stood alone in front of the window of the hospital room, looking at the bright moonlight and sparkling lights outside. The hallucination of a smile smiling at me suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I smiled at her as well, and then the hallucinations in front of me disappeared. When I turned around, I felt relieved and let go of everything.

Laughter was the first relationship I really worked on, but it was also lost because of my naivety and immaturity.

I know that she must be heartbroken when she leaves, and when she is with me, she must think that I am her true love, and the two of us will definitely be together. As a result, I was like Chen Lihui, and I brought her endless disappointment.

I don't know if I will ever see Xiaoxiao in my life, but I know that I will never forget every day, every hour, every minute and every second with Xiaoxiao in my life.

It was my happiest, happiest, and most liberating time.

It's also the only sweet memory I have about my youth.

……

After my eldest brother was discharged from the hospital, he lived in my house for the time being.

My parents also live here.

There were three more people in this two-bedroom apartment in an instant, and the place seemed a little stretched.

The eldest brother and my parents slept in the master bedroom, the second bedroom slept with the radish and the royal sister who didn't know the name, and I slept on the sofa in the living room.

When my parents first came to my house, they were a little surprised that I was living in a good place. When they saw the picture of a smile on the bedside table, they turned to me in surprise and asked me who this girl was. I didn't hesitate to say, "It's my girlfriend, she went on a business trip abroad and won't be back until a few months." ”

My parents were immediately overjoyed, and my mother turned around and pulled me to ask questions, and I told them the truth. My mother took the photo on the bedside table, looked at it again and again, and said with a smile: "This girl is so handsome." ”

I smiled, looked up at the sky outside the window, and asked myself.

Where the hell are you, do you know? Mom and Dad and Big Brother came to see you.

When I came back to my senses, my mom asked me again what she did.

I said, "It's the same with me."

It's so nice, my mom said with her hand rubbing the picture with a smile.

There are a lot of people in the family, but the burden of cooking falls on my mother.

My mom is also happy to cook for us, I go to the vegetable market every morning to buy her a day's food, and she cooks it for me every day. In less than a week, I gained seven pounds.

My mother likes to cook spicy, and radishes also like to eat spicy, and after a few days, he gained ten pounds.

Only the royal sister was sullen and disdainful to everyone. She can't eat spicy food yet, and she only eats a few bites every day. She hid in her room for most of the day and didn't come out, and Radish didn't care about her. I have the heart to let the radish persuade her and take her out for a walk.

Radish swallowed a mouthful of fat, pulled half a bowl of rice, stuffed all the cheeks, and said, "Regardless of her, let's just eat." ”

A week after being discharged from the hospital, we took my eldest brother to the hospital for a follow-up visit.

The doctor said that the eldest brother is recovering well, and he will come back for a follow-up visit in two weeks to confirm that he is fine.

On the taxi back from the hospital, my mother suddenly said to me, "Let's go back." ”

I was stunned, turned my head to look at my mother and asked, "Why, my eldest brother hasn't recovered yet, what can you do when you go back now?" ”

My mother sighed and said to me in a serious tone: "Qi Tian, my mother knows that you are good to your brother, but you are not allowed to work." ”

I was stunned and turned my head to look at my mother and father, who was making small gestures to signal my mother not to speak.

When my father saw me looking at them, he smiled and said, "No." Tian'er, it's time for the autumn harvest at home, and your mother and I have to go home and harvest the crops. Besides, the boss's illness is not much of a big deal, the doctor has not said everything, the recovery is very good, take him back to the place he is familiar with, he will definitely recover better. Besides, your grandparents miss us too, and we have to go back and see them. ”

I firmly denied: "No. ”

Mom's eyes closed one by one, and tears flowed out of her eyes.

I was dumbfounded, and my father reprimanded my mother: "What are you crying about?" ”

My mother hit my dad and said with red eyes, "I'm distressed." ”

I felt a little baffled, but when my parents discussed going back with my brother, my brother firmly said that he would not go back and would stay with me. Mom and Dad couldn't do anything about him, so I just stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, since my brother doesn't want to go back, it's better to let him stay here for another half a month, you go back first, and I'll send him back after half a month." Then I can rest assured, and you can go back. ”

Mom and Dad hesitated all night and finally decided to do what I said.

At the train station, I dropped them off on the train. My mother took out 20,000 yuan from her bag and handed it to me and said, "Mom knows what your situation is now, and you can use this money as your brother's medical expenses." In a few days, one of your cousins in our town will go back, and you ask him to bring your brother back, and you won't have to go back again, and work hard here. ”

I paused for a moment and said, "I don't want it, I have money." ”

My mother put the money in my hand and forcibly ordered me to take it.

I had the money in my hand and looked down a little hesitantly.

Dad patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back, your brother is still at home." ”

I looked up at my parents, their eyes were already red, and I asked them, "Do you know everything?" ”

My mother burst into tears, hugged me and said, "God, Mom feels sorry for you!"
