Chapter 152 - Untie the knot
With the gradual advancement of the construction of Jiangchuan Development Zone, Yang Jinghui's leadership in Jiangchuan City has been more and more recognized, and he has become a proud cadre that neither Lu Zhongming nor the mayor can do without. All work is on the right track, and Yang Jinghui has more energy to accompany his family after work.
Zhang Xiaomei has looked forward to it too many times, but she is still not pregnant, so she no longer deliberately begs for each other, and will take a walk with Yang Jinghui after dinner every day, and sometimes go to live with Zhang's father for a few days.
When Yang Jinghui took Zhang's father to take a bath, he felt that Zhang's father had obviously lost a lot of weight, he clearly remembered that Zhang's father's weight was more than 130 pounds when he took a bath a month ago, and he lost nearly ten pounds in a month's time, Yang Jinghui asked Zhang's father if he felt uncomfortable, and Zhang's father said that he didn't obviously feel uncomfortable, or pain, but a faint pain in his back.
Yang Jinghui felt relieved, so he told Zhang Xiaomei that he was going to take Zhang's father for a physical examination, and the two contacted the hospital to persuade Zhang's father, Zhang's father felt that they were making a big fuss, saying that it was difficult to buy old and thin with money, and he felt very healthy, he could eat and sleep, and rest well, but he couldn't resist the repeated insistence of the two, so he followed him to the hospital, and went to the hospital for a systemic examination. It should be possible to diagnose lung cancer, hearing the news Zhang Xiaomei almost sat on the ground at that time, Yang Jinghui helped her and repeatedly told her to be calm and not let her father see that something was wrong. After Zhang's father got off the X-ray machine, Zhang Xiaomei's hand to dress him was a little trembling, Zhang's father asked the doctor if the examination was still normal, and the doctor said that the body was completely healthy and there was nothing wrong. Father Zhang was like a child, "I said I won't check, you don't believe me, I don't have any problems, I'm very healthy, this money is in vain, right?" The doctor stopped Yang Jinghui when he was about to leave, saying that the results of the big biochemistry would also be shown, according to Zhang's father's age and physique, as well as the degree of cancer. Conservative treatment is recommended, and it is not a question of whether the condition of the family is good or bad, because he is suffering from an incurable disease.
Conservative therapy also has conservative treatment options, but there is no need for surgery and chemoradiotherapy, and the drugs that should be taken should be taken on time. They just told Zhang's father that the doctor said he had some hyperactivity in his body. Substance substitution is relatively rapid. So you need to take some medicine to consolidate it a little, in order to be afraid that Zhang's father will find out, Yang Jinghui and Zhang Xiaomei poured out the medicine, wrapped it in paper, and didn't let Zhang's father see the medicine bottle or medicine box, but despite this, Zhang's father developed with the development of the disease. There are still some feelings, first the pain in the back is getting stronger and stronger, and then the amount of food begins to decrease, so that I am even thinner. Father Zhang asked Yang Jinghui, am I old, but I haven't reached the age of sixty, according to the physique of modern people, I am still young, is I suffering from a bad disease? He was puzzled, and Zhang Xiaomei couldn't help but cry secretly when she heard it. Yang Jinghui explained that he said that it was the imbalance of the microflora in the body, and this disease needs to be slowly regulated, which is a long-term process.
Zhang's father often thinks about the past, including some things when Zhang Xiaomei and Zhang Ke were young, there are many things that even Zhang Xiaomei doesn't remember, but he always mentions it, sometimes while talking, he will suddenly be sleepy and tired, so he will fall asleep, and after a while, he will wake up and say, "Why did I fall asleep?" You don't call me either, I'm talking about where", and then according to his own train of thought, he told the previous paragraph, and sometimes he could repeat this paragraph several times without finishing it.
Yang Jinghui and Zhang Xiaomei went to ask the doctor about the progress of a situation like Zhang's father, and what will happen if it develops again? How long is the expected life, the doctor said it should not be long, no more than a month. Zhang Xiaomei hugged Yang Jinghui and cried bitterly, Yang Jinghui mentioned to Zhang Xiaomei a few times, call her mother and tell her, after all, she was once a husband and wife, and she is the biological mother of your sister and brother, at this stage, Dad will miss his mother very much, he just endured it and didn't say it, and Zhang Xiaomei was still more entangled in her heart, and she didn't want to make this call, so Yang Jinghui wanted to ask Zhang's father's opinion.
These days, Zhang's father always thinks about the past, and before Yang Jinghui asks him, he actually took the initiative to find Zhang Xiaomei, Zhang Xiaomei lay on his chest, holding his father's hand, Zhang's father stroked Zhang Xiaomei's hair and said, "You don't have to lie to Dad, I know that I don't have much time left, it must be some kind of cancer, otherwise I won't always have pain in my back, and now my chest hurts, although you don't let me see the medicine box, but I still know how to read, you gave me morphine tablets, which belongs to the analgesics of the poisonous anesthetic series." If it is not in the middle and advanced stages of cancer, it is not recommended to take it"...... Zhang Xiaomei couldn't control her emotions, she cried bitterly on her father, Zhang's father rested for a while, and then said, "I know that you hate your mother in your heart, and you have avoided mentioning her all these years, but Dad really doesn't want you to hate her, Mom is not wrong, Dad has always been wrong, Dad in order to love her, in order to get your mother, I created a misunderstanding between her and Hu Liren, an unforgivable misunderstanding, so Hu Liren left sadly, and Mom was disheartened, so I took the opportunity to take care of her, and then she accepted me, Later, there were two of you, sister and brother, where did you think that Hu Liren was so infatuated, after the educated youth returned to the city, he never married, in fact, he loved your mother no less than me, they are the people who should really love each other, I have cancer, is God punishing me? Hu Liren put the love for your mother in the bottom of his heart, turned it into the motivation for his work, after so many years have not been able to forget your mother, and then you will know that he came to see your mother, the two of them said to each other, Dad's lie was exposed, it was Dad who was sorry for them, Dad deserved to be lonely for the rest of his life", Zhang's father gasped a few times, and continued, but I am very content, I can live with the person I love very much for a while, and I can hear her voice every day, I am really content...... When Zhang's father said this, his voice was low again, and he fell asleep, and Zhang Xiaomei had already cried into tears.
Yang Jinghui asked Zhang Xiaomei to come to Zhang's mother's phone number, and tried to broadcast the past, Zhang Xiaomei's mother is her own mother, no matter what their relationship is now, after all, she brought Zhang Xiaomei to the world, after Yang Jinghui confirmed that it was her, he directly called "Mom, I am Xiaomei's lover, please allow me to call you so rashly", this "Mom", called Zhang's mother on the other end of the phone for a long time without speaking, and then heard Yang Jinghui tell about Zhang's father's recent situation, She covered the microphone of the phone with her hand, turned to look at Hu Liren who was sitting beside her, Hu Liren had already heard the content of the call, and immediately nodded to indicate that she must go, Zhang's mother agreed to Yang Jinghui's request, and Hu Liren and Hu Liren went to see Zhang's father.
Zhang's father was emaciated and only skinny remained, when Hu Liren and Zhang's mother entered the ward to see, Zhang's mother immediately couldn't help crying, it was good to be in love for half a lifetime, after all, they had also loved each other, seeing Zhang's father at this moment, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they would let go, and the rest was only family affection, Hu Liren couldn't bear to see the good brothers who went to the countryside together back then now like a withered tree, standing beside Zhang's mother at the moment, Zhang's father said in a weak voice, "I'll apologize to the two of you first, without my obstruction, you should be together, After a while, the house will be full of children and grandchildren, can you forgive me for my selfish love? Zhang's father's eyes were full of expectation, Hu Liren and Zhang's mother looked at each other, and said to Zhang's father, we have forgiven you a long time ago, Zhang's father said, you see that we are still not like when we went to the countryside together, but I want to see Marx and Chairman Mao first......
Zhang's father called Zhang Xiaomei, took her hand and put her mother's hand together, he said, "Xiaomei has now become a family and started a business, I just have one thing to rest assured, it's not Zhang Ke, it's just Xiaomei's heart knot, Xiaomei don't look at living and growing up with me, her temper and personality are the most like you, paranoid in trouble, love to compete, I can't do it, I just hope that your mother and daughter can get back together", Zhang Xiaomei looked at her mother, her mother has been away for these years, she has seen her old, and she has just resisted her desperation in her heart over the years, How many times have I dreamed of my mother leaving behind me and my younger brother alone, and today in front of my father who is about to grow old, the hands of mother and daughter finally clasped together again, and I cried bitterly and assured my father that I let go of my knot and forgave my mother. The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and the family cried into tears. (To be continued......)
