I know that Zhang Xu said this for my sake. It's really hard to take time off because of my work. But there is no way, Zhang Xu's salary is more than mine, and he is more valued by the leaders in the unit, so he can't ask for leave, so only I can ask for it. The elderly can't be ignored when they are sick.

Zhang Xu's two sisters have never taken care of them, but they only occasionally take a look when they are sick, and they can do their best to buy something and ask for warmth. And the concept of their family should be that their son and daughter-in-law should take care of it. When a daughter gets married, she shouldn't take care of her parents anymore.

The daughter doesn't take care of it, and the son doesn't take care of it, so we have to take care of the two of us as daughters-in-law. Zhang Xu's sister-in-law is better than me, first, she works in the village and is more flexible in her work. Then there is Zhang Xu's eldest brother who is also the kind with a more flexible work, so their husband and wife can take turns to take care of it, and when they arrive at our house, I can only take care of it alone.

Zhang Xu and I went home and put away all his fishing tools, and then took the car to the hospital. By the time we arrived at the hospital, Zhang Xu's father had already completed the examination and had completed the procedures for hospitalization.

Zhang Xu and I walked into the ward, and Zhang Xu's father was lying on the hospital bed. Zhang Xu's second sister was not in the ward, maybe she went out to buy something. Zhang Xu's eldest brother sent his father to the hospital and went back.

I walked up to Zhang Xu's father's hospital bed and asked, "Dad, how are you feeling now?" ”

"It's okay, it's just panicked and uncomfortable. After a while, the infusion will be fine. ”

"Okay, then you can take care of it, don't worry."

I was talking to Zhang Xu's father here, and at this time, Zhang Xu's sister came back, and sure enough, she went out to buy something. She put her purchases on the bedside table. I said hello to her and called, "Second sister." ”

She nodded and said, "You're here?"

I have always had special respect for Zhang Xu's second sister. Because Zhang Xu told me more than once that his second sister was very good to him. How to take care of her. And my impression of his second sister is also very good, I think that she is a loyal and kind person like Zhang Xu. But after a long time, I found out that I just listened to Zhang Xu's words, his second sister is not only disloyal, but also a master of sowing discord. Zhang Xu's first divorce is not unrelated to her. And Zhang Xu is a "sister treasure man"

He is a "Ma Bao Nan", but he is a "Sister Bao Nan", and he listens to whatever his sister says. He doesn't have much affection for his parents, and sometimes he doesn't even respect his parents, but for his sister, he has reached the point of obedience.

After we greeted each other, Zhang Xu's sister Zhang Qing walked over and said to her younger brother Zhang Xu, who was sitting in front of her and was playing with her mobile phone, "Xiao Xu, are you going to work tomorrow?" “

At this time, Zhang Xu, who was playing with his mobile phone intently, found his sister standing in front of him. So he said yes and said, "Yes." “

"As the eldest brother said just now, he and his sister-in-law have no time in the past two days, so who do you think will take care of our father?"

I heard her from the sidelines, too. Of course I understand what she meant, Zhang Xu has to go to work, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law have no time these days, so they obviously want me to take care of her father.

Although I don't agree with her talking around the bend, my personality doesn't like to care about anything. So, before Zhang Xu could speak, I said: "Otherwise, I'll ask for leave tomorrow." ”

"Would you like to take a leave of absence?" Zhang Qing asked me.

Of course, it's hard for me to ask for leave, but I can't say that. At this time, Zhang Xu said: "It's not easy for her to ask for leave." You said that eldest brother, everyone usually has time, why don't they have time when their father is hospitalized? ”

Seeing Zhang Xu speaking for me, my heart was also quite warm. But I don't want to make a mess at home because of this. Anyway, I have to ask for leave, even if Zhang Xu's eldest brother and sister-in-law come to take care of it these days, won't I have to take care of it in a few days? In that case, let me take care of it first.

At this time, Zhang Qing said: "How is it all the same, if you take care of it these days, then let them take care of it in a few days?" ”

After listening to Zhang Qing's words, I said, "Second sister, don't worry, I should be able to ask for leave." Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no time these days, I will take care of it. And so the matter was settled. After the matter was settled, Zhang Xu's sister Zhang Qing left. There are only three people left in the ward: me, Zhang Xu and Zhang Xu's father.

Zhang Xu's father said at this time: "Wen Li, if you can't ask for leave, I'm here alone, and I'm not unable to move." ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can take a leave of absence and won't leave you alone in the hospital." Although I was embarrassed, I couldn't say that in front of the old man, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhang Xu said to me: "Wen Li, let's go, let's go out first." ”

I heard and knew that Zhang Xu had something to say to me, so I followed him out of the ward. When I walked out of the ward and entered the corridor, I asked Zhang Xu, "Do you have something to say to me when you asked me to come out?" ”

"Yes. I just want to say, you just promised so happily, if you ask for leave, what if your squad leader doesn't give you leave? ”

"What if I don't agree? Your brother and your sister-in-law don't have time, and you can't take time off. So no matter how embarrassed I am, I have to agree, I can't let your dad be here alone. Although he can walk, doesn't he have to use people for any checks or meals? ”

"Then you should call your squad leader and ask for leave, right?" Zhang Xu said.

"Okay, I'll call here, you go into the house, don't leave your dad alone in the house, in case anything happens, he can't find us if he wants to." I say.

"What can it be?" Zhang Xu looked indifferent. I know he's always been like this. So he said to him, "Go in quickly, why are you here if you don't go in?" If your dad wants to eat something or buy something, how uncomfortable is it to see that neither of us are there? ”

"It's okay, when you're done calling, we'll go in together." Zhang Xu said. I can't beat him. I didn't say anything more.

Grab my phone, I'm ready to call our squad leader. But I'm still a little scared in my heart, because now is the time to be busy, how can I open my mouth when I ask for leave? Even if I tell the truth, the squad leader may not be able to believe it. Because some of our colleagues are tired and want to take a few days off, they just find an excuse to ask for leave. Because of this, we really asked for leave, and the squad leader thought it was fake.

No matter how difficult it is, I still have to make this call. With enough courage, I finally dialed the squad leader's mobile phone.

"Hello?" The voice of the squad leader rang on the other end of the phone.

"Squad leader, I'm Ji Wenli, I want to ask you for a leave." I'll get straight to the point.

But as soon as I said this, before I could say the reason for asking for leave, the squad leader was very unhappy and said, "Ji Wenli, you want to ask for leave again?" Don't you know that we can't do our jobs now? Tell you, no matter what your reason, I won't give you leave. ”

After listening to the squad leader's words, I was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, because I didn't know what to say.
