Maybe time can dilute everything, maybe it's because blood is thicker than water, and after learning that my father had cancer, my uncle expressed great concern. For the first time ever, my uncle reached out to us. In the days after my father's imminent and post-operative operation, my uncle called almost once a day. Of course, considering my father's emotions, my uncle did not call my father directly, but chose to contact me or my sister first, and then find out about my father's general situation through us. My uncle was working in a foreign country, and he was not only far away, but he was so busy that he couldn't leave, so he dispelled the idea of coming back to visit his father. But the uncle did not stop there, but actively arranged for his aunt and cousin, who were relatively close, to visit the hospital as soon as possible.

Many years have passed since that fight, but no one can figure out what kind of mentality my father is in now. Considering my father's emotions, my aunt and cousin did not take the liberty of visiting directly, but asked my sister and I to use words to test my father first.

My sister and I only revealed a little bit of my uncle's concern at first, and seeing that my father was not too obviously angry, did we dare to slowly elaborate further. We said that in fact, since the moment I learned that my father had esophageal cancer, my uncle had called him at least once a day to inquire about his father's condition.

When my father heard this, his mood fluctuated slightly, and he replied in a slightly choked voice: "If he can have this heart, it's fine." ”

We know what the Father means. After all, who wants to turn against their brothers? If it weren't for the fact that my uncle really broke my father's heart, then my father would never have said such decisive words. If you say it, you can't take it back if you want to collect it. What's more, my father has always regarded himself as an elder brother, so my father, who has always attached great importance to his identity, will never pull down his face and take the initiative to show favor to his uncle. Now, his younger brother can take the lead in sending a signal of reconciliation, and his father, who is not a small-bellied chicken, has vaguely seen a bright future for the two brothers, so he can't help but reveal the excitement in his heart.

Let us go on with the narration. We said that my uncle wanted to come back to visit my father, but he couldn't leave due to special circumstances, and I don't know how many times he was upset about it. When my father heard this, he immediately asked us to call my uncle, and said that he should stay on the construction site and not worry about him, how is he doing now? In fact, at that time, the various drainage tubes on my father's body had not been pulled out, so it can be said that there was no comfort in the whole body.

The boss of my uncle's construction site happened to have a good relationship with the vice president of the Municipal People's Hospital, so my uncle specially asked the boss of the construction site to talk to the vice president on the phone before my father's operation, and asked the vice president to take more care of my father. Regardless of whether the vice president really cared about it or not, our words had already made my father feel a burst of warmth in his heart.

Seeing my father's expression, I knew that the time was ripe, so I said with some trepidation: "Dad, my aunt and cousin are going to come to see you in the next two days, but I'm afraid of ......."

My father was a delicate man. Although I had not finished my sentence, my father understood what I meant, so he said, "What is there to be afraid of? They came to see me, and that's a good thing, but what else am I going to say? ”

That's what we've been waiting for. Although the knot in my father's heart is not so easy to unravel, it is undoubtedly a good start.

After receiving our affirmative reply, my aunt and cousin rushed back from Suzhou as fast as they could. He was accompanied by his uncle's daughter-in-law and his little granddaughter. They brought a whole bunch of things, fruits, milk and stuff.

"Come on, why do you have to spend money on all these things? I never eat fruit, milk, or anything like that. What a waste! Father deliberately said angrily.

From the thick smile on his father's face, no one in the ward could not see his true mood.

Seeing her father's expression, the aunt seemed very happy. "I bought a few casually, and it didn't cost much."

"Uncle, this is as it should be." The cousin bowed and said.

This is the first contact between the two families after they turned against each other, and we already feel very unfamiliar, and there are not many common topics. But overall, the atmosphere is quite congenial. Especially the cousin's two- or three-year-old daughter brought more laughter to everyone. In the process, the father showed great concern for this lovely niece. not only showed a strong love for him, but also praised it from time to time. Of course, my cousin's daughter is indeed cute. Although he is still young, he has shown an amazing talent for language, with clear and complete meanings. The most ridiculous thing is that she is only a little older, and almost all of her words are in an adult tone. My father reminded me more than once to bring food to this lovely little fellow. The sincere love shown by his father for him suddenly brought the relationship between the two families closer a lot.

In order not to affect his father's rest, the aunts and cousins said goodbye to their father in due course. From my father's eyes, I saw the reluctance. Maybe it's because I'm bored and want to be accompanied, but I think it's more about the inseparable family affection. After all, there is a blood relationship between the cousin and his daughter and her father. This kind of blood relationship is like a magnet, attracting the two families who have been separated for many years to come together again.

The aunts and their entourage came to their sister's house. They arrived in the morning, and came from afar to visit the sick, and we had to entertain them for lunch anyway.

After leaving the hospital, perhaps because we gradually got acquainted, my aunt's family gradually became more and more of a topic with us. Of course, the lively and cute little guy with a big tone also creates a lot of opportunities for everyone to communicate.

After lunch, the aunts set out on their way home. Before leaving, my aunt left a thousand yuan. The significance of this thousand dollars is extraordinary. Because, since the throat grab, the two brothers who have become enemies have cut off all contact. Later, when my family house was renovated, my sister and I were admitted to college, and my sister and I got married, my uncle was the only one who came to congratulate my relatives and friends. On the contrary, over the years, my uncle's family has never been involved in all major events.

It can be said that since the reflexion, although my father and uncle are brothers of the same mother, they have been separated from each other by thousands of years of ice. Judging from the posture at that time, it seems that a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes, will not be able to melt the thick ruthless ice. But the visit of my aunt and her entourage was like a spring breeze, blowing away the ice that remained unchanged this year. The 1,000 yuan left by my aunt also indicates that our two families have resumed contact.
