The doctor talked to me privately about my dad's condition with my mom.

"Based on Mr. Yip's current physical condition, we recommend that he undergo heart bypass surgery."

Heart bypass surgeryI've only heard about it in TV dramas, is my dad's condition so serious that he needs surgery?

I was so shocked that I couldn't stop trembling, and then I looked at my mother next to me, her face was pale, her whole body was shaking, and she felt like she would fall to the ground in the next second.

I suppressed my fear, "Doctor, is the surgery risky?" ”

"Don't worry, the success rate of heart bypass surgery in China is more than 90%. As long as the postoperative treatment is well coordinated, the patient will no longer have the same state of fainting as the previous few times. ”

The doctor's words gave us hope, and my mother came to her senses and grabbed the doctor's hands emotionally, "Then doctor, hurry up and operate on my husband, I watch him suffer from illness every day, it's so uncomfortable." ”

"Patients' families, I understand your feelings. We will make a detailed surgical plan according to Mr. Ye's physical condition in the next few days. The surgery is scheduled for a week, but the cost of heart bypass surgery is relatively high, so you need to get the money ready this week. ”

My mom let go of her hands, her eyes dimmed again, "Doctor, how much will the surgery cost?" ”

"Including the post-operative treatment, it's about 200,000."

"200,000?" My mother was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, let's go and prepare." My husband will leave it to you. ”

I helped my mom out of the doctor's office.

On the way back to my father's ward, my mother didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't say a word, and her face was very bad.

I was faintly worried, "Mom, didn't the doctor say that the success rate of the surgery is very high?" What are you worried about? Daddy will be fine. ”

"Zhenzhen, I ......" My mother stopped talking and suddenly stopped and hid her face and cried.

I helped my mom to sit down on a chair in the hallway, and only after she had calmed down did I tell me what had happened in my house over the past few years.

When I was in college, my mom was in the middle of a layoff and was unfortunately one of the first laid-off employees. The burden of life at home suddenly fell on my father alone, and my tuition and living expenses were a lot of expenses.

After my dad's friend knew about my family's situation, he took the opportunity to encourage my dad to invest in health care products, and in the past few years, there have been several good returns, and my dad has more and more trust in that person. Just half a year ago, that man asked my father to invest in a project of 300,000 yuan, and promised to double the income within a year. Our family didn't have that much cash, so my dad secretly mortgaged the house without telling the family. But I didn't expect that just a month ago, the project that my dad invested in was declared bankrupt, and the friend who tempted my dad to invest was nowhere to be found.

The savings of his life were gone, and my dad was remorseful and self-blaming, holding things in his heart, but he didn't want to hold back a serious illness. My dad thought he couldn't make it out, so he told my mom everything that had happened.

After listening to my mother's statement, I was speechless with astonishment. I didn't know that so many things had happened at home in the past few years.

My mom thought I was angry with my dad so she didn't speak, she patted the back of my hand, "Zhen Zhen, don't blame your dad, our family has been in a bad situation all these years, your dad in order to let us live a good life, he endured the pain to support the family, I didn't expect this incident to hit him so hard, it made him sick." ”

"Mom, how much money can our family scrape together to give Dad's surgery?"

"A few years ago, in order to use it as an investment, your father also stopped paying medical insurance. There were originally tens of thousands of dollars left in the mortgage house, but later your father was not in good health, and all the money was taken out to see a doctor. There are also houses that will expire in half a year, and if we can't pay them back, our houses will be repossessed by the bank. My mother was anxious, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.

In the past few days, in order to take care of my father, my mother has been exhausted, and a handful of gray hair has grown on her sideburns at some point, I really can't bear it, but I can only hold back tears, "Mom, don't worry, I will solve the money matter." ”

"Zhenzhen, Mom and Dad are sorry for you. A girl your age should go shopping and fall in love, but ...... Ay. ”

"Mom, don't say that, I have been cared for by you like a princess since I was a child, and now that I have grown up, I should protect you."

Gu Zijin accompanied me to buy my father's daily necessities at the supermarket near the hospital, and I carelessly put the sanitary napkin in the shopping cart.

"Zhenzhen, what are you doing with sanitary napkins?" Gu Zijin picked up the sanitary napkin from the car and stretched it out in front of my eyes.

"Ah, I got it wrong, I want to buy a pump." I grabbed the pad, put it back on the shelf, picked up the paper next to it and threw it in the cart.

Gu Zijin looked at me worriedly, "Zhen Zhen, is there something wrong with you?" I've been absent-minded since I entered the supermarket. ”

I have indeed been thinking about raising money in my heart, 200,000 yuan is not a small amount for me, I don't know the situation at home in recent years, as soon as my salary is paid, I go shopping with Gu Zijin to buy clothes and cosmetics, and sometimes buy gifts for my parents, and there is not much money left.

Among the friends I know, the Gu family is the richest. It's just that Gu Zijin and Gu Zipei have lived a good life since they were children, and they have no habit of saving money at all, but with Gu Zijin's temperament, they will definitely ask her father for money. But I know that Gu Zijin's father's business has not been in a slump in recent years.

I decided not to mention money to Gu Zijin, "I, I'm just worried about my dad's surgery, he used to be very afraid of taking medicine when he was sick, and now that he is old, he has to take a few stabs in the heart, it must be very painful, if only I could suffer this crime for my dad." ”

I unconsciously started to talk at length again, but this time Gu Zijin didn't doubt, she patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, "Uncle will definitely live a long life!" ”

But I still underestimated how well Gu Zijin knew me. As soon as she left the hospital on the front foot, I received 60,000 yuan from her, with her text message: "Zhen Zhen, I know you don't want to borrow money from our family, this money is the money that I got with my brother, Wang Ning and Chen Yao, although it is not much, but you must accept it, we are friends, no matter what, we will not stand idly by." ”

I covered my mouth and was moved to tears. I know that even if I lose everything one day, I still have a group of good friends like them.

On the day of the summer solstice, two days before the scheduled date for surgery, my dad suddenly fell ill in the hospital, and the doctor decided to do the surgery immediately. However, the cost of the operation was still nearly 80,000 yuan, and the hospital agreed to do the operation first, but the money must be made up immediately after the operation.

After calming my mother, I walked out of the hospital gate and looked at the street across from the people, but I didn't know where to go to raise money.

The phone rang, it was Pei Xuan's phone.

I stabilized my mood and tried to make my tone appear calm, "Pei Xuan, why did you call me at this time?" ”

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and Pei Xuan is usually listening to lectures at this time.

"Zhenzhen, why didn't you tell me if something happened to your uncle?"

I secretly scolded Gu Zijin in my heart for having a big mouth, obviously saying that I didn't mention my father to Pei Xuan before.

"I'm worried that you're too busy, and besides, it's my own family's business, and I don't want to bother others."

After speaking, I realized that my words were full of insight and disrespect for Pei Xuan.

Sure enough, Pei Xuan said with a little disappointment; "Zhen Zhen, we are good friends, why don't you ask Gu Zijin to help?"

Because, I don't want to owe you a favor;

Because, I'm not sure if I can like you;

Because, I don't want you to disappoint me.

"I, I can do it myself."

Pei Xuan sighed softly on the phone, "Zijin said that the money for your father's surgery hasn't been collected yet, I have some savings over the years, and I will call you the money later." I sneaked out halfway, it's time to go back now, and I'll talk about what I have to say when I get back. ”

I can't refuse, Pei Xuan quickly hung up the phone.

Two minutes later, Pei Xuan transferred 100,000 yuan to me. I looked at the numbers on the screen and felt uncomfortable.

But now I can't think about it anymore, I ran into the payment hall to pay the rest of the fees, and then ran to the operating room to tell my mother that the money matter was settled, and then I sat on the bench with a little peace of mind, waiting for my father's operation to be over.

My dad's surgery lasted until the wee hours of the morning, and my mom took care of my dad almost unclothed for the past few days, and I was worried that she would also collapse, so I persuaded her to go home and rest. During this period, Gu Zijin and they came to wait with me for a while, because the next day was a working day, so I asked them to send my mother home first.

The waiting time was particularly difficult, and I could only pray in my heart over and over again that the surgery would be successful.

In the last few days, I have been severely sleep-deprived, sitting in a quiet hallway, and sleepiness has gradually set in. I took out my headphones and listened to the song to pass the sleep.

Over the years, I still only listened to Mayday.

Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet, my mind was suddenly opened, and when the lyrics sang "I miss if there is a sound, I don't want it to be a sad cry", all the emotions about Lu Li that were suppressed in my heart - blame, resentment, missing, liking, grievance, etc. poured out.

I didn't eat dinner, and the pain and sadness caused by stomach cramps made me unconsciously huddle in a chair with my knees hugged.

I turned on my phone and texted Lu Li's former mobile phone number: "Lu Li, today is my lunar birthday, do you remember?" In previous years, my parents, my mother, and Gu Zijin would accompany me on my birthday, but today I sat alone on the bench, waiting for my father, who was undergoing surgery inside. Where are you? I wish you were by my side at this time, and maybe I wouldn't be so scared. ”

In the past few years, I couldn't help but send him countless text messages because I missed Lu Li, and there were 505 short text messages from parents who poured out their thoughts and expressed their complaints, and in the end they all got the same ending - they were lying quietly in the sending box, but they couldn't wait for a word to respond.

After the text message was sent, I flipped through the previous text message.

"Lu Li, Gu Zipei has come back as a soldier, and he is much more mature now. Do you know? He was with Wang Ning. When I was in high school, he and Wang Ning were a pair of happy enemies, and our friends have come back, what about you, when will you come back? ”

"There is a new series of iced tea, and the boss said that the probability of winning the lottery is very high. I bought a case today and drank several bottles without winning. I remember when I was in my freshman year of high school, I bought two bottles of iced tea and won the lottery, and I even made the bottle cap into Lucky Sun for you at that time. Lu Li, does the United States sell iced tea? Do you think of me when you drink iced tea? ”

"Zijin introduced me to a blind date today, who is the deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Hospital of the city. He doesn't like to eat coriander like you, and it turns out that doctors can also be picky eaters, haha. But he's pretty good, and if you have a chance, I'll introduce you to him. ”

"Lu Li, I have been admitted to the teacher of Yangfan. My dream has come true, what about yours? I've been searching for your name a lot lately, and I'm looking forward to seeing the news of you becoming a world-famous pianist online, and hopefully that day won't be long. ”

"Mayday came to Haicheng for a concert, and this time I went to see it alone. Ashin said to call the person you like and pass on this gentleness to him. I took out my phone and didn't know who to call, but if you were there, you would be able to see the starlight like an ocean, which was really beautiful. ”

"The results of the U.S. exchange student application came out, and I was unsuccessful. I sat by the river and cried secretly for a long time, and this semester I got up early and worked hard to study English and do academic research, just for this place. I wanted to appear in front of you without saying a word and scare you, but this time I'll let you go. I will definitely fly to you when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

"Lu Li, you big liar, we said that we would go to the same school together, how can you go to the United States without saying a word. I, Ye Zhenzhen, broke off my friendship with you. ”

Tumbling and turning, I finally fell asleep on my knees.

In a trance, I felt someone sitting next to me, he held my head up and put it on his shoulder, I smelled the faint lemon scent on his body, he gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for me, and then attached it to me and said in my ear: "Vera, happy birthday." ”

(I don't know if you've heard Mayday's "Suddenly I Miss You", this song is really full of tears, at this moment, I am listening to this song while coding words, and my mood is a little low.) So this chapter is still a little sadistic.,I actually wrote myself to cry.,I'm not angry.。 Tomorrow, Lu Li, who has disappeared for nearly seven years, will appear, and I am even more excited than Ye Zhenzhen. Looking forward to the "unexpected encounter" between Ye Zhenzhen and Lu Li tomorrow! ）
