Chapter 52: My Brother's Sudden Illness
At the dinner table, the family felt a rare joy.
Although they were all simple meals, everyone ate deliciously.
"Xiao Yao, come and try the sweet and sour fish made by my mother, is it delicious?" Tang Ruoyao's mother, Ye Rui, smiled lovingly and sandwiched the sweet and sour fish she made herself into her daughter's bowl.
"Mom's eccentric!" Watching his mother pick up vegetables for his sister, Tang Feng deliberately pouted.
"Go! You are at home every day, do you eat less of this fish? But your sister is different, she has been gone for more than a month, and she can't live at home for a few days and has to leave, how many times can she eat the fish made by her mother? Ye Rui said angrily, but she still sandwiched a piece of fish meat into her son's bowl.
Tang Ruoyao looked at her younger brother and mother, and her heart was full of warmth.
The village where she lives is less than two miles from the sea, and almost all the people in their village make a living from fishing, so although they are poor, their families have hardly cut off fish and shrimp and other aquatic products.
She has liked to eat all kinds of fish made by her mother since she was a child, especially this sweet and sour fish, and she has not been tired of eating it for so many years.
"Mom, if you're afraid that your sister won't be able to eat the fish you made, why don't you just pickle some salted fish for your sister?" Tang Feng pouted mischievously, "Sister, did you say yes...... Belch...... My belly! ”
Tang Feng was talking, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Xiaofeng! What happened to you? ”
"Xiaofeng!"
"Xiaofeng!"
Tang Ruoyao and her parents found that something was wrong with Tang Feng and asked nervously.
Tang Ruoyao had already thrown down her chopsticks and ran in front of her younger brother.
And Tang Feng couldn't even say a word at the moment, and he could barely stand up with a stomachache. He felt a knife ache in his stomach that almost drowned him.
"Xiaofeng, if you hold on, my sister will call an ambulance immediately!" Tang Ruoyao said as she handed Tang Feng to her parents, while she went to get the Duo Wei mobile phone and quickly dialed the number 120.
Due to the remoteness of their village, when the county's ambulance arrived, Tang Feng was already sweating profusely and almost fainted.
The family could no longer afford to eat, so they all went to the hospital in an ambulance.
The doctor gave Tang Feng a painkiller injection, and after curbing his pain a little, he gave him a comprehensive examination, and finally came to the conclusion that Tang Feng had a stomach cyst!
This diagnosis was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked the people of the Tang family.
"Doctor, are you sure?" Tang Ruoyao was the first to react, she grabbed the doctor's sleeve and asked anxiously. She couldn't believe that her little brother would get such a rare disease.
"Our hospital has limited medical equipment, and I suggest that you transfer to a hospital in a big city to get a second diagnosis, otherwise your condition will be delayed." The doctor said with a sigh.
They are only speculating, after all, the medical equipment in this small county town cannot be reached.
Hearing the doctor's words, Tang Ruoyao staggered and almost fainted.
How can this be? Her little brother is still so young!
Tang Ruoyao's parents burst into tears after reacting, they looked at their son every day, their son was so sick, they didn't even see any signs before!
"Doctor, my son, is it dangerous?" Tang Ruoyao's mother asked in a trembling voice.
"We will give him some medicine to control the condition temporarily, but if you want to really treat the disease, you still have to go to a big hospital, you go to see the patient first!" The doctor said sympathetically.
They really didn't expect that the boy would get such a disease at such a young age, but if they don't believe it, the characteristics of his disease are everywhere pointing to the stomach cyst, although he is not very sure, but he dares to say that the boy is most likely really suffering from this disease!
Hearing the doctor say that they could go in to see the patient, Tang Ruoyao's family rushed in.
At this moment, Tang Feng was lying quietly on the bed, with some tubes inserted in his body, and his face was pale and terrifying.
After Tang Ruoyao's family came in, Tang Feng opened his eyes and looked at them with difficulty.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, and Sister, I made you worry." Tang Feng said with a wry smile.
A week ago, he began to feel a stomachache all the time, but he thought that he had eaten a bad stomach and it would be fine in two days, so he didn't care, and he didn't tell his parents, he didn't want them to worry, but who would have thought that today, he would hurt so badly, he still made his parents worried! Moreover, just in time for his sister to come back, even the sister who loved him the most was worried about him.
"Xiaofeng, have you ever had a stomachache before?" Tang Ruoyao asked.
Tang Feng nodded: "It's been a week, I thought it was just a bad stomach." ”
"Mom is not good, Mom doesn't even know that your stomach hurts, it's because Mom doesn't care about you enough!" Ye Rui said reproachfully.
"Mom, I don't blame you, it's me who is not good, I don't take care of myself...... Hiss......" Tang Feng's stomach hurt again.
"Xiaofeng!" Tang Ruoyao nervously held his hand and shouted towards the door, "Doctor! Doctor! My brother's stomach hurts again! ”
Hearing her shout, a doctor walked into the ward quickly, checked him, frowned and said, "His situation is not optimistic, I suggest you go to the big city quickly!" I'll give him another painkiller to relieve his pain. ”
As he spoke, the doctor gave Tang Feng another injection.
"Mom, let's not delay, let's send Xiaofeng to the provincial capital quickly!" Tang Ruoyao said worriedly.
After discussing with the family, they decided to send Tang Feng to the Provincial People's Hospital first.
When they arrived at the hospital and went through the hospitalization procedures, they needed to pay 5,000 yuan first, Tang Ruoyao's parents were dumbfounded, they came out in a hurry, they didn't bring so much money, and they only had more than 2,000 yuan in total.
"Dad, Mom, I have more than 3,000 here, you can take it and pay Xiaofeng first!" Tang Ruoyao took out all the 2,000 yuan that she had planned to give to her younger brother, as well as the more than 1,000 yuan she kept for living expenses, and handed them to her parents.
"Xiao Yao, no, you still have to eat!" When their daughter went to school, they didn't give their daughter much money, and now that their son is sick, they want their daughter to take the money, and they feel very uncomfortable.
"Mom, Dad! I'm a good earner in M City, and my brother's medical treatment is important! Tang Ruoyao insisted on giving all the money to her parents.
Although her parents knew that their daughter was lying, they had no choice but to take her money with tears in their eyes and pay the hospitalization fee.
However, they soon became worried again, what would they do if Xiaofeng needed surgery or something?
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, wait for the doctor's examination first!" Tang Ruoyao comforted her grief-stricken parents.
Her parents nodded, that's all they could do, what else could they do? If surgery was really needed, it was a big deal, so they went back and begged the villagers to lend them some money first.
