But where do you get these two million? This is an unimaginable astronomical amount for ordinary people like us, enough for a family of 3 to save a lifetime.

Dad snuffed out the cigarette with his hand and said: "We also have more than 200,000 yuan of savings over the years, and the house may be worth more than 100,000 yuan, and I scraped together more than 70,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and there is still a gap of more than 1.5 million. He let out a long sigh. In fact, I also know that the hope of this method is extremely slim, if the house is to be sold, there is no mortgage, and our family's fixed income is not high, and we probably can't pay back so much money in a lifetime, and the bank will not lend us money nine times out of ten.

But I still comforted him and said, "Dad, don't worry, there is no endless road." "In fact, I am also confused in my heart, thinking of my dying mother, my heart is like a knife, but I know that my father's situation is much worse than mine, and I don't seem to have a good night's sleep in the past few days. If I am weak, it will only increase the burden on his heart, and even make him unable to support it.

I fried a few dishes and brought them out and said, "Dad, you can eat first, I see that you are tired these days." ”

Dad nodded and said, "Xiaolin, you can eat too, you just came back from school and you're hungry." ”

I was going to say that I had no appetite, but when I thought about it, my father must have been more worried, and finally I filled a bowl of rice to eat with him, and it took almost all my strength to finish it, and I finally realized what it means to be unable to swallow. Until the end of the meal, our father and son were silent, and the warm family joy of the past could no longer be found.

After dinner, I almost walked to my mother's hospital room, and I didn't pay attention to the red lights on the road several times. Dad didn't come with me, just let me go to the hospital to take care of Mom. He continued to raise money, even if there was little hope, for the sake of his mother, he couldn't give up no matter what.

When I opened the door of the ward, I saw my sleeping mother, whose face was so pale and there was no trace of blood.

I gently held one of my mother's hands, her hands were full of calluses, very rough, how many of the calluses on this hand were grown because of me! I don't know how much pain my mother has suffered since I was a child, but it is rare that she has been happy for more than half a year, and I am happy to see the wrinkles on my mother's forehead slowly unfold. But in a few days of happy days, she is going to suffer even more, God, my mother has been a good person all her life, why are you playing with her like this?

Suddenly, my mother coughed a few times, with a painful expression on her face, and my heart tightened, if the pain can be transferred, then please transfer all the pain on my mother's body to me, a son, and don't let her suffer anymore.

Looking at my mother's pale face, I couldn't help but feel sad, and clenched my teeth to keep myself from crying, but the tears couldn't be controlled, and they kept flowing.

After coughing, my mother moved, as if she was about to wake up. I quickly wiped the tears from my face, I didn't want her to see my weakness, let her worry about me, I just wanted her to know that I was already a real man, and although my shoulders were immature, I could already bear the pressure and responsibility.

Mom slowly opened her eyes, saw my mouth open and made a slight voice and said, "Xiaolin, you, are you here?" I told your dad not to tell you, but he just wouldn't listen. Ahem, ahem. ”

I hurriedly said, "Mom, don't be angry, don't blame Dad, you know he's not a liar." ”

Mom nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you should also take the exam next week, right?" How's the review? ”

At this time, she was still thinking about my son, this is maternal love, great and selfless maternal love! Tears began to well-up in my eyes, but I still held back, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Mom, don't worry, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ”

"By the way, Xiaolin, don't tell your grandparents, they are all old people, and your grandmother's health has not been good lately."

I nodded and agreed, my mother was not in good spirits, and wanted to tell me a few more words, but I was physically exhausted, and after a while, I fell asleep again.

I stayed with my mom for a long time, and I didn't leave the ward until the nurse came and said that I couldn't stay in the ward for too long, so as not to interfere with her rest. Sitting on the chair outside, although the hospital is quiet, there is always a small sobbing sound in the ears, and most of the patients' families and friends who come and go in the corridor are also full of gloom on their faces, and their expressions are gloomy, and they only feel bitter in their hearts under the sympathy of the same disease. Occasionally, one or two people walked past me laughing, but I thought they were laughing so hatefully that I wanted to rush up and punch them in the nose, and I couldn't laugh again. An invisible depression hung over me, and I was about to go crazy, and I pulled my hair hard, otherwise I really didn't know how to vent the pain in my heart.

"Brother Lin?"

I turned my head, and Sisi was standing next to me, and it was my aunt who told her about it. I was so annoyed that I didn't know when she came to me. Sisi saw that my eyes were red, and she threw herself into my arms and cried bitterly, and my mother had been very fond of her since she was a child, just like her own daughter, even better than me, no wonder she was so sad.

I stroked her hair and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." "I can be weak when no one is around, but when I have relatives by my side, I have to be strong no matter what. In front of my parents, I am a sensible son, and in front of Sisi, I am an older brother who can be relied on. I'm tired, really tired, but I'm going to have to play both roles anyway.

Sisi cried in my arms for a long time, until she calmed down, I looked at my watch, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, I pulled Sisi up and said, "We should go back, my mother is asleep now, let's not bother her for the time being." Sisi nodded, leaned on my arms, and walked back slowly.

I didn't fall asleep all night, and when I got up the next morning, I washed my face indiscriminately, and found that my eyes were bloodshot, and there was a little gray and black stubble on my handsome face, and my hair was like a bird's nest. He was no longer visible, thinking that he had gone to the bank early in the morning to take out a loan.

I knocked on Sisi's door, only Sisi was alone, and my aunt was busy looking for someone everywhere to find a way, I asked Sisi to stay at my house to take care of my dad, and wait for him to come back to help him make some food, it has always been his mother cooking, I am afraid that he will not take care of himself, and now he should be very tired, it is really not good not to add a little nutrition, in case even he can't hold on, I dare not imagine what this family will become.
