So, as soon as Lin Guoqiang and his wife discussed, they really prepared 10,000 yuan, wanting to take Lin Minsheng to the city for inspection. But during this time, Lin Xiaojin picked up an old woman on the road, and was defrauded of 10,000 yuan by the old woman's family. Therefore, the matter of originally planning to see the old man was delayed.

Lin Xiaojin thought to himself, now that he has more than 10,000, why not hurry up and see his grandfather?

So, he tentatively asked his father Lin Guoqiang: "Dad, how is grandpa's illness, should we take him to a big hospital?"

Lin Guoqiang, who originally seemed worried, sighed slowly after listening to Lin Xiaojin's words: "You are still filial piety, you haven't forgotten your grandfather." Grandpa has been thinking about you, the eldest grandson. ”

Mother Liu Cuilan is a filial daughter-in-law, listening to the conversation between Lin Guoqiang's father and son, she couldn't help wiping her tears and said: "Xiaojin, if you don't mention it today, I won't say it." Since you mentioned it, I will treat you as an adult. Let's tell you the truth, the week before, didn't we lose 30,000 yuan because the car repair shop was smashed, and then Vice Mayor Zhou asked the other party to pay us 30,000 yuan?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Lin Xiaojin said in surprise.

Liu Cuilan continued: "With the 30,000 yuan, your father will take your grandfather to the 'Third Hospital' to see a doctor the next day." ”

"How about it, is it serious?" Lin Xiaojin asked eagerly.

Liu Cuilan sighed: "After all, it is a big hospital, and after spending more than 1,000 yuan, I saw that something was wrong, saying that your grandfather had complications of coronary heart disease, what is it called 'mitral valve regurgitation'." I can't tell you all about the specifics. Anyway, the doctor said that a surgical 'bypass' operation must be done. Otherwise, your life will be in danger at any time. ”

Lin Xiaojin was startled when he heard the words "life is in danger", and hurriedly asked: "Then what about later, did the operation be done, why didn't I know anything about it?"

"Didn't you just have an exam to take a few days ago, and I didn't tell your dad about it. Liu Cuilan replied.

Lin Xiaojin was about to fall into tears when he heard this. He couldn't help but think of his grandfather coming to their house when he was a child. Every time Grandpa came, he would carry a large bag and a small bag. The big bag is sweet potatoes, artichokes, rice and so on grown in the field. The pouch contains a variety of toys and snacks.

The toys and snacks were bought at the store when Grandpa arrived in town. Although they are not too expensive things, Lin Xiaojin understood when he grew up that his grandfather often had to spend half a month's living expenses in order to buy these toys and snacks.

The day when grandpa came was always Lin Xiaojin's happiest time. Grandpa will help Lin Xiaojin make a slingshot for bird hunting and an iron ring for throwing hoops...... will also take him to catch loaches and catch them......

Every time his grandfather left, he would stroke Lin Xiaojin's head and tell Lin Xiaojin to study hard, and to be a good person and a man who stood up to the sky when he grew up. Although grandpa has no money, grandpa always likes to say something to Lin Xiaojin - "If you have money or not, it's good to be happy".

And now, in order to make themselves do well in the exam, their parents have hidden their grandfather's illness. Alas, Lin Xiaojin warned himself that the people around him were concerned about him, and he had to redouble his efforts. One day, I will repay them well.

Lin Xiaojin thought about it while looking at his parents in a daze.

Lin Guoqiang thought that Lin Xiaojin was blaming them for not telling him about it, so he interjected: "Xiaojin, it's useless to tell you this kind of thing." You'd better study hard. After studying well, you will become a big official in the future and make a lot of money, so you can take care of your grandfather's affairs again. ”

"That's right," hearing Lin Guoqiang say this, Liu Cuilan couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, and choked up: "Xiaojin, your grandfather didn't even come home after seeing the doctor, so he insisted on going back to the countryside." Your dad can't pull it anymore.

"Actually, we all understand that your grandfather doesn't want to drag us down. Before leaving, he repeatedly said to your father, 'Don't tell Xiaojin about this illness, the child is still young, and studying hard is the right thing.' ’”

Speaking of this, Liu Cuilan couldn't hold back any longer, and tears burst out of her eyes.

Lin Xiaojin couldn't bear to hold his mother's shoulder. But he still looked at his father Lin Guoqiang with some doubts and said: "Dad, why is grandpa leaving, why don't you stay in the hospital for treatment? Didn't the doctor say that it would be a 'bypass' ......operation."

Lin Guoqiang sighed and interrupted Lin Xiaojin's words: "This 'bypass surgery' costs 80,000 yuan." ”

"80,000?" Lin Xiaojin was also taken aback.

"Well," Lin Guoqiang nodded, "If your grandfather is a retired employee, it is estimated that the 80,000 yuan will be reimbursed by social security at least half, and it will be easy to do." But your grandfather never worked in the factory, and his household registration is also rural. So, I asked, like my grandfather, the township will subsidize the operation fee of 80,000 yuan at most, 5,000 yuan. There are seventy-five thousand left, and they have to come out by themselves. ”

"Last time, Vice Mayor Zhou asked his nephew to pay us 30,000 yuan, and our family made up 5,000 yuan, plus my grandfather made up 5,000 himself, a total of 45,000. So, there is still a gap of 30,000 yuan. Where are you going to let me get the 30,000 yuan for a while? Therefore, your grandfather's surgery can only be delayed for another year and a half.

"Last time you saw it in the car repair shop, the street director asked me to spend 10,000 yuan to make a shining signboard and roller shutter, but I didn't agree. I'd rather come back and guard our old car repair shop, at least I have 10,000 yuan left. But later, thanks to the big cadre of the army you knew, we were given the 10,000 yuan free. ”

Lin Xiaojin knew that Lin Guoqiang was talking about Liu Dongsheng's guard, the division commander of the People's Armed Forces Department, Wu Debiao.

Lin Guoqiang continued: "It's also a loss to repair cars for people in that area, the business is really good, and I don't need rent." Like this, you can earn at least 3,000 a month. In addition, I can earn an extra thousand by taking on more work and assembling bicycles for others. Inside and out, you can make a net profit of 4,000 yuan a month.

"I estimate that if this continues, in less than a year, we will almost be able to scrape together the money for your grandfather's surgery. Speaking of this, Lin Guoqiang's face showed a sincere smile.

Lin Xiaojin understands now, and when it comes to it, it's still a matter of money. There is a total difference of 30,000 yuan, and I have 15,000 on hand, so I can operate on my grandfather almost four months in advance.

The top priority is how to give this to parents without doubts. Fifteen thousand is an astronomical amount for Lin Xiaojin, a high school student. If you don't give your parents a logical reason, they won't accept anything.
