When the call finally came, my cousin said that he would immediately take his father to the city in a car.

Actually, it was only a month before my father went to work in other places, but I felt as if a very long time had passed. My heart fluctuated, and it was the state of mind of the dearest people at the moment of their long-term absence. Of course, compared to the simple joy of others, at this moment, my heart is more worried and regretful. I regret that I didn't stand up for my own ideas and try my best to discourage my father from going out to work.

More than 20 kilometers away, under the wheels of a car, I knew that my father had arrived. I went downstairs with trepidation. Keep your eyes glued to the car door......

The familiar figure walked out, and it could be seen that his steps were slightly vague, but his waist was still straight.

I couldn't help but rub my eyes. Although his face was still calm, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed violently. It hurts! Because the face that was still familiar looked so haggard and scorched at this time. Thinking of the scene where my father was alone and had no relatives to take care of, although his body was abnormal, he still insisted on working, I felt the urge to burst into tears. But, I know I can't. At this moment, I have to endure it. I can't let my father see the slightest flaw.

"Dad......" tried his best to keep his tone steady.

"Hmm......" Father's tone was also very steady, and there was no abnormality in his expression, "Go up." After his father finished speaking, he took the lead towards the staircase.

I followed closely behind, just trying to give a hand, but then it occurred to me that excessive performance could easily reveal flaws, so I changed to covert protection. Spread his arms slightly and leaned close behind his father. That way, if something unexpected happens, I'll be able to react as soon as possible.

Although my father tried his best to show that everything was going on, I could still feel his struggle. Just over a month ago, my father climbed up the stairs with a whole bag of rice on his shoulder, and he was not as out of breath as he is now. My father's performance made my heart heavier and heavier.

After the cousin came up, he chatted and comforted him before leaving.

After my cousin left, I began a powerful persuasive offensive against my father.

"Dad, I told my sister that I would go to Nanjing!"

"What are you doing in Nanjing?" The father asked dissatisfiedly.

"Check. Nanjing University Hospital is reassuring. ”

"What about the results of the examination over there in Tongxiang?"

My father's tone seemed to loosen slightly, and I immediately came to my senses. "It's fine. Anyway, the results of Kirixiang's examination were sent by fax. To Nanjing, we can also accept fax. I replied with confidence.

"I still don't think there's much difference between Nanjing and Hangzhou, so why bother checking again? Not only is it costly, laborious, but also time-consuming. Father's stubbornness erupted again.

"I asked, and in general, before the hospital proceeds with treatment, it is necessary to have a necessary examination. After arriving in Nanjing, I will check first, and after the report from Tongxiang comes out, it is estimated that I can directly carry out treatment. In this way, time can be saved. I didn't want to give up, so I continued to persuade me.

"You mean to go to Nanjing for treatment?" My father finally understood what I meant.

"Well, the technology of Nanjing University Hospital is good, and it is more reassuring to go there for treatment." There is no need to hide it, so I answer very clearly.

"I asked at home (in my hometown in the countryside), and so-and-so (referring to the barefoot doctor in the village) said that surgery for esophageal cancer is a minor operation, and the Municipal People's Hospital can do it."

Although the father did not directly refuse, the meaning was already very obvious. Hearing this, I said anxiously, "No! To the Municipal People's Hospital, I don't worry! ”

"Do you know what we have the most cancer here?"

I shook my head in confusion at my father's question.

"Esophageal cancer!" My father was very sure of him, "Because we have many chemical companies here and serious water and air pollution, esophageal cancer has always been at the top of the list among many cancers!" (I don't know where my father's statistics came from, are they accurate?) However, in light of the actual local situation, I still believe some of it. The father paused deliberately, then continued, "So do you know where our esophageal cancer patients are usually treated?" ”

I really haven't studied this aspect of the situation, although I have secretly guessed my father's intentions, but I can't solve this problem myself, so I can only choose to shake my head helplessly.

"Municipal People's Hospital!" There was a little smugness in my father's words, "Think about it, every year we have a large number of patients here who go there for surgery, how bad can their level be?" Even if it didn't work at the beginning, after a long period of practical training, even a piece of wood has become an expert. ”

I know that the chances of success in persuasion are already low. As a result, the mood is inevitably a little low. "Dad, I still think it's safer to go to Nanjing." I held on with some weakness.

"When I go to Nanjing, there is another problem, and that is funding." My father's roles and I have been completely reversed, and now it has evolved into my father enlightening and comforting me, "I have already asked, and the rural insurance can still reimburse 50 or 60 percent to the Municipal People's Hospital." If you go to Nanjing, then you may not be able to repay a penny. You've just bought a house not long ago, and the loan hasn't been paid off yet......"

How can money be more important than life? Therefore, I could not listen any longer, and immediately interrupted my father's words. "Dad! Money problem, you don't have to worry, I'll figure it out! ”

"Think of a way, find a way...... With that little salary in a month, what can you think of? Father's tone suddenly became stern, "Don't fight, after the inspection report of Tongxiang comes out, we will go to the Municipal People's Hospital to have a look, if the Municipal People's Hospital is really powerless, then it is not too late for us to go to Nanjing!" "My father knew that I insisted on going to Nanjing because I cared about him, so he couldn't bear to really blame him. The stubborn father is very rare not to say goodbye.

Judging from my father's temper, my persuasion should have played a role this time. But can cancer treatment be delayed? I can't wait to take my father to Nanjing now. The goal was not achieved, but I knew my father's temperament well, and I knew that it would not be of much use to say anything more at this time, so my face was a little ugly and froze in place.

My father was a wise man, and when he saw this, he continued: "What's more, isn't the result of the examination still out yet!" Maybe it's benign, and maybe you don't need to go under the knife when the time comes. ”
