After the review, we went down to the first floor with great ease. Considering my father's special eating habits seven or eight times a day, we first went to the "corn man" near the Municipal People's Hospital to ask for two bowls of porridge. That time, both parents ate very sweetly. Especially my father, I praised "delicious"! Looking at my father's gobbling up food, I had to persuade him to eat slowly from time to time. In fact, under our continuous indoctrination, my father already knew that eating too hot things and eating too quickly would cause certain damage to the esophagus, and over time it would easily cause esophageal diseases. It's just that my father's impatient temper is not so easy to change, so to this day, my father is still very anxious to eat. Regardless of whether it works or not, every time I see my father eating in a hurry, my sister and I will always persuade him.

After my parents had finished eating, we took the bus back. When we returned to our home in the city, it was already past ten o'clock. Please don't worry about our lunch though. Because, when I was in the hospital, I already expected that I would not be able to cook in time, so I had already called my sister and asked her to buy vegetables and come to my house to prepare lunch. Some people may wonder. Didn't you say before that your home was far away from the hospital? Why don't you just go straight to your sister's house for lunch? That's because although my sister's home is close, she lives on a high floor. My father didn't want to climb to the top without his body recovering. It is undeniable that one of the very important reasons why my father chose this way is that my family lives on the first floor and does not need to climb the stairs. But, I think, that's certainly not the only reason. The father, who is deeply influenced by traditional culture, actually subconsciously regards the home of the sister who married out as someone else's home. I can clearly feel that my father has been quite homesick since the esophageal cancer surgery.

As soon as we returned, my sister quickly handed over the work to my mother and me. Because, it's time to pick up the kids. My mother wanted to make a soup for my father to drink, but my father said that it would be better to eat sooner anyway. So, while my mother and I were busy cooking lunch, my father was half-lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

The wife was the last to come back. Originally, we persuaded my father to eat first. But my father, who had a strong family concept, insisted on waiting until everyone was ready to eat. My wife, who knew that her parents had come over for dinner, bought several cold dishes to take home. The wife's move made a lot of smiles on the calm faces of the parents who were waiting.

That lunch was a family reunion. Except for my children who ate at kindergarten, we all gathered together (father, mother, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew, wife and me). Just like the "happy" lunch before my father's surgery (you can look back at 010's strong family affection), this time I still experienced the "warmth of family affection". But unlike last time, now, everyone's mood is relaxed. Before the operation, none of us knew what would happen to our father. Many people are very unfortunate enough to lie on the operating table forever. Even if there are no problems during the surgery, there are "complications" after the surgery, which may recur quickly...... In short, in the face of the situation that does not allow for optimism, our hearts are extremely heavy. It is precisely because we are full of worries that we will try our best to let my father deeply experience a perfect "family relationship" before the operation. Behind the "happiness", in fact, the upper shadow hides our strong worries. It can be said that the "warmth" of the last time was "deliberately created" by us. And this time, the results of the re-examination were good, and the doctor's answer was "good"! This has succeeded in sweeping away the worries that lie deep in our hearts. Combined with my father's gratifying recovery after he was discharged from the hospital, we all thought at that time that my father's recovery was only a matter of time. The earlier worries (fearing that my father's esophageal cancer would recur) are nothing more than unfounded worries after this review.

What impressed me particularly was that my father's appetite was very strong at lunch. The momentum at the time of eating has caught up with the time of health. It's thrilling to look at us. So, my sister and I kept persuading my father to "slow down! Slow down! "My father really wanted to eat it. However, we are afraid that eating too much greasy things will backfire. That's why I persuaded "Dad, eat less and eat more!" The father, with some dissatisfaction, would reply, "Yes." I know what to expect! ”

In order to show that he really "has the numbers". At the end of the meal, my father told us a true story. said that so-and-so was also a patient with esophageal cancer, and after the operation, he recovered well, so he ate it desperately. It is said that two large bowls are eaten each time. While talking, he gestured. That meant that the bowl was much bigger than what he used. As a result, the stomach is always too heavy, causing the esophageal interface to be stretched and thinned. Later, he had to undergo "tube expansion surgery". Then, my father was a big mockery of this so-and-so. At the same time, he emphasized that he didn't eat that much and wouldn't eat that much. "Anyway, you can eat seven or eight meals a day! It's so delicious! Can't you save it for the next meal? Why do you have to eat so much at once to give up? The implication is that he will never be as ignorant as that person, and actually bring himself the unwarranted disaster of "tube expansion surgery" for the sake of the blessing of the tongue.

As the saying goes, "Man is iron, rice is rigid". In general, people will regard "food quantity" as the most important criterion to measure a person's physical condition. For example, if a person is terminally ill, friends and relatives will definitely take the time to visit him. After reading it, it is estimated that there will be two evaluations like this. "So-and-so, I don't eat much anymore! It's almost gone! I guess it's not going to be a few days (alive)! "So-and-so, you can eat a lot at every meal!" It is estimated that there will be no problems (life risk) in the short term! At that time, we were somewhat influenced by this kind of thinking. What's more, we don't think that my father is in a desperate situation. Seeing my father's strong appetite and the amount of food that was much larger than in the hospital, we all subconsciously thought that my father should be free from the danger of relapse. Therefore, at that warm family dinner, our smiles were absolutely heartfelt, without the slightest artificiality, and by no means deliberately pretended to make my father happy. Compared with the last time, the "music" in this "happy harmony" has nothing to do with "deliberate creation". It was really an outpouring of true feelings.
