After Dou Xiaotian finished talking to his little sister, he asked for leave from the tutor, then booked a nearest train ticket on his mobile phone, took a taxi and set off.

When he returned to the county seat, it was just in the afternoon.

When he rushed back to the community, he glanced at the watch in his hand, it was exactly about five o'clock, and he calculated the time, his father should be back soon.

The old-fashioned six-story building where they live, the wall skin outside the building, many places have fallen off, even if there are no places that have fallen off, they have all changed color.

Dou Xiaotian just came back, and the aunts and uncles in the community greeted Dou Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian is back."

"I remember that you didn't just start school, why did you come back."

“······”

Dou Xiaotian also greeted them one by one.

This kind of old-fashioned community is generally the family members of the employees, and almost everyone knows each other. Their house is the welfare house that Dou Xiaotian's father's unit had previously assigned.

However, in the past few years, the efficiency of the unit has not been very good, Dou Xiaotian's father has not earned much, and as for his mother, because of the poor efficiency of the unit, she has been laid off for several years.

Although my mother was laid off, she found a new job, that is, to help in the supermarket, and worked hard for a month, with only a salary of more than 2,000.

Dou Xiaotian took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The house they live in is a small three-bedroom house, only more than 70 square meters, and the living room and kitchen are not big. He waited for about half an hour, and his father Dou Jianguo came back from work.

When his father came back and saw him at home, he was obviously a little curious, after all, today is not the time for a holiday, how could Dou Xiaotian come back, and before, when Dou Xiaotian came back, he would usually call home to inform him.

Dou Jianguo looked at Dou Xiaotian and said.

"Xiaotian, why did you come back?"

Dou Xiaotian looked at his father, compared with the last time he came back, Dou Jianguo was obviously a lot thinner than he remembered, and even his face didn't look good.

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I came back this time to ask for leave from the school, come back to see you?"

Dou Jianguo looked at Dou Xiaotian with some curiosity and asked.

"Xiaotian, have you recently encountered problems at school, or do you have any fees to pay in school, or do you have problems with your work-study program and need money?"

"If you have something, just talk to the family, although our family is poor, but we can't treat this doll who is still in school."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I'm fine in all aspects, just come back to see you."

He looked at his father, and did not directly talk about his father's condition as soon as he came back, but planned to see the situation first, or inquire about it from the side.

Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Dad, I recently acted bravely, and the police gave me a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and I didn't see anything to do, so I got it back."

Hearing Dou Xiaotian's words, Dou Jianguo was a little stunned and said.

"Fifty thousand yuan, what did you do, people gave you so much money?"

In a small county, ordinary people don't get sick and don't have accidents, they just save for a lifetime, just save two or three hundred thousand, Dou Xiaotian took out 50,000 at once, no wonder his father was a little surprised.

Dou Xiaotian didn't say it in detail, he said vaguely and said.

"It's just saved a few people."

After speaking, he also took out the certificate of righteousness and courage awarded to him by the police, picked it up and gave it to his father, and said.

"Dad, this is a certificate from the police."

Dou Jianguo saw a good opportunity, so he reluctantly believed it and said.

"Really, yes, there's a chance."

After it was over, Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Dad, I see that you have improved a lot worse than last time, and you have lost a lot of weight, are you sick, if you are sick, don't drag it, you must go to see it in time."

Dou Jianguo hesitated for a moment, and said a little indifferently.

"I'm all in the way, it's not in the way."

Seeing his father say this, Dou Xiaotian knew that his father was a little reluctant to go to the hospital, and now there were only two people in the family, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't continue.

He planned to wait until his little sister and mother went back and asked the matter clearly.

In the blink of an eye, my mother came back, still carrying vegetables and pork ribs in her hands, and my father told my mother the news of Dou Xiaotian's return, so my mother came back earlier than usual, still with vegetables and pork ribs.

When the meal was about to be ready, the little sister Dou Xiaomeng also came back, and when she saw Dou Xiaotian coming back, Dou Xiaomeng was stunned at first, and immediately reacted.

Seeing Dou Xiaomeng coming back, Dou Xiaotian first said hello to Dou Xiaomeng, and then pulled the little sister into the room and asked.

"Xiaomeng, about Dad's illness, I just inquired about it, Dad didn't say anything, you tell you what you know, and I can prescribe the right medicine."

Dou Xiaomeng's eyes were a little red all of a sudden, as if she was about to cry, and said.

"Brother, I also secretly listened to my father and mother arguing, and I only found out about this. After hearing this, I sneaked into my father's room and turned over his room. ”

"Dad's disease seems to be a tumor, and it's still in the early stages, so I specially checked it on the Internet, and as long as I have surgery, it will definitely be fine."

"But, brother, you know the conditions of our family, you and I both go to school, and my grandparents have not been in good health in recent years, and they have spent a lot of money."

"Our family's conditions have always been very poor, and the family can't seem to come up with that much money, so my father wants to delay it."

Dou Xiaotian frowned when he heard Dou Xiaomeng's words, and said.

"Anything can be delayed, that is, it is impossible to delay the cure, if you delay, it is easy to have an accident, and I will talk to my dad at dinner today."

Dou Xiaomeng suddenly laughed when she heard Dou Xiaotian's words.

Then, however, she thought of another question and said.

"But, brother, I heard my parents quarrel and said that there is not so much money in the family for treatment, which is also the reason why my parents quarrel."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"When it's time for money, I'll figure it out."

He regrets it a little now, why didn't he have the five million in the past, if he had those five million, their family's affairs would not be a thing.

But it's too late to say anything.

The meal was made quickly, and both father and mother were a little curious, why did Dou Xiaotian pull this Dou Xiaomeng to the room as soon as he came back, and his mother cooked the meal, knocked on the door and said.

"You two, when you come back, you hide in it, what do you say, have you eaten?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Got it, Mom."

The two of them came out, and their father glanced at them suspiciously, and said to Dou Xiaotian and Dou Xiaomeng.

"You two, what do you have to say, you can't say it to your face, you still need to hide and say it?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Nothing, I just asked my little sister about her studies, and whether she has studied hard recently."

After speaking, Dou Xiaotian saw his mother serving food and said.

"Mom, today's food is really delicious, I'll help you serve it."

Mother glanced at Dou Xiaotian and said.

"Can it be fragrant, what I made today is your favorite meal."

Dou Xiaotian helped his mother and father bring out the food, a total of three dishes and one soup. After the food is laid out, it is quickly eaten.

Mother added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to Dou Xiaotian and said.

"It's hard to come back and eat more."

"I just heard your father say that you acted bravely and got a bonus of 50,000 yuan, so are you injured, I watched TV and said that it is very dangerous to act bravely."

"If there is such a thing next time, protect yourself, but don't do it."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Mom, I know it all?"

The meal was almost finished, and dinner was about to end, Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, the main reason why I came back this time was because I heard that you were sick, so I hurried back. I know my family is short of money, but I want you to be able to get treatment. ”

"Money is not an issue, I'll figure it out."

"You are the pillar of our family, anyone can have problems, but you can't have problems."

As soon as he said that, the dinner table became quiet, and even his breathing became solemn, and it was a long time before his father spoke to his mother.

"Wife, it was you and the child who said it."

Mother shook her head and said.

"I want to talk to Xiaotian, but I haven't had time to say it yet."

Dou Xiaomeng said weakly.

"Mom and Dad, I heard you arguing. And I went into your room and read Dad's diagnostic manual, and Dad really needs to be hospitalized. ”

Dou Jianguo smiled and said.

"Don't worry too much, my problem is not so much in my eyes, I am only in the early stage now, as long as I take medicine, I control it well, and I don't need surgery."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I have also checked, the drug can only relieve, not treat, now is the best time for treatment, if you miss this time, it will be serious in the middle term."

"Moreover, although the drug can be controlled, there is a certain chance, such as rebound, and the doctor does not agree with this choice."

"Dad, I know you're worried about money, before the early treatment, my 50,000 yuan, and the family's savings, are basically enough, and I'll figure out how to find a way to get the rest of the money."

Dou Jianguo sighed and said.

"It's still close to 100,000, you are a child, and you haven't graduated from college yet, what can you do?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"I'm sure I'll be able to raise money, Dad, and now it's important that you need treatment."

Mother also spoke to persuade her.

"His father, now the child has got back 50,000 yuan, plus our family's tens of thousands of savings, at least half of the money is enough, and the rest of the money, the child will find a way."

"Even if Xiaotian has no way, we can borrow money from relatives and friends, and there will always be a way."

"You can't drag it now, I'm afraid that if you drag it down, something will go wrong sooner or later."

"This time, you will listen to the child once, go to the hospital for treatment, don't be stubborn anymore, I have been sleeping nightmares these days, I'm afraid that you will have a good one."
