Chapter 4 The Orders of Parents
Shortly after the Spring Festival, in March, Jiangnan.
On the camphor trees on both sides of the streets of Dancheng, a new batch of green leaves began to sprout, and from a distance, the canopy seemed to be paved with a layer of emerald green, and the sun shone brightly, exuding a dazzling and pleasant brilliance.
Ma Yuannan sat in the taxi, uninterested in enjoying the scenery outside the window. Half an hour ago, he received a call from his mother, saying that Gu Qing's father was dying and asked him to rush to the Provincial People's Hospital. Although he had been mentally prepared, Ma Yuannan still felt nervous.
Gu Qing's father was diagnosed with liver cancer after the Spring Festival, and it was at an advanced stage. This incident was like a thunderbolt from the blue, not only on the heads of Gu Qing's family, but also on the heads of Ma Yuannan's family.
Although Ma Yuannan does not understand medicine, he knows very well that advanced liver cancer is equivalent to being sentenced to death. Of all the liver cancer cases he heard in his life, none were cured, unless there was a miracle. He hoped for a miracle.
Gu Qing's father was admitted to the hospital as soon as the Spring Festival ended, and various treatment methods were used, but the condition still developed rapidly.
Every time Ma Yuannan went to visit Uncle Gu in the hospital, he felt that his condition was a little worse than the last time he visited. His anxious mood was no lighter than that of Gu Qinggu Miao'er.
Several times, Gu Qing pulled him to the corridor outside the ward and looked at him with helpless eyes, what should I do? What should I do? Ma Yuannan had a sense of trust, and he forced himself to calm down and force himself to think of a way.
He comforted Gu Qing and said, "There is another way. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Find a remedy. Maybe some folk remedies can play a role. ”
After Gu Qing's father was hospitalized, Ma Yuannan began to look for home remedies. When he met people, he inquired about where there were folk masters who treated cancer and where there were cancer patients who had been cured, and after inquiring, he went to visit him.
Later, he searched for a few prescriptions, the name of the medicine is not common, what is raw five spirit fat, raw black petunia and so on, he took it and asked the doctor, the doctor said try it, anyway, people will not die if they eat it......
Ma Yuannan quickly rushed to the hospital and entered the ward. He saw his father and mother, as well as Gu Qing's mother, Gu Qing and Gu Miao'er all gathered in front of the hospital bed.
On the hospital bed, Uncle Gu was dying, his body was full of joints and tubes, and the whole person was already so thin that he was out of shape.
Ma Yuannan couldn't help but feel sad for a while, was this the tall and burly instructor back then? Is this the combat hero who charged forward on the battlefield back then? He couldn't believe that Uncle Gu was not yet 60 years old! How could fate be so cruel!
Ma Yuannan stood silently beside the bed for a while, and then asked his father in a low voice, "Do you still want to be rescued?" He saw his father's head shake slightly.
After a while, Gu Qing's father opened his eyes. He saw his old comrade-in-arms, and then slowly raised his hand. Ma Yuannan's father hurriedly leaned down and held his hand.
Gu Qing's father said intermittently: "Old horse, I can't do it anymore, I want to, I have to go......"
Ma Yuannan's father's eyes were red, and he patted his hand and said, "Lao Gu, you hold on, hold on! The doctor said that there is still a way, and an expert has been invited to ......
A tear rolled out of the corner of Gu Qing's father's eyes, and Gu Miao'er immediately wiped it away gently with her palm.
Ma Yuannan's father continued: "Lao Gu, Instructor Gu, we have all been soldiers, we must hold on! We didn't survive the counterattack back then, and this time we will be fine! If we hold on, we will be fine!"
Gu Qing's father shook his head weakly, he meant that he couldn't stand it.
Gu Qing and Gu Miao'er kept calling their father on the side, crying so much that they burst into tears. Gu Qing's mother looked blank, and kept muttering the word "old Gu" in her mouth.
Gu Qing's father tilted his head, "What about Xiaoqing?" he still had something to say.
Gu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and held his father's hand, "Dad, Dad, I'm here." ”
"Dad is leaving, and Dad can't be with you anymore. ”
"Dad, I won't let you go!" Gu Qing cried.
Gu Miao'er also cried.
"Silly boy, don't cry, you have to take care of your mother. ”
"I will! Dad, don't worry!
Gu Qing's father said with difficulty: "With your Uncle Ma here, Dad has nothing to worry about, but there is one thing Dad doesn't worry about......
Gu Qing cried and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"
Gu Qing's father motioned for Ma Yuannan to come over, and Ma Yuannan came to the bedside. Gu Qing's father grabbed one of Ma Yuannan's hands and put it on Gu Qing's hand. "During the Spring Festival, I told you that your wish and Uncle Ma's wish is to get married. Xiaoqing, I hope you can be with Far South, you get married, are you willing?"
Gu Qing didn't expect his father to mention this matter at this time, and he immediately panicked. She had long known what her father meant by wanting to marry Uncle Ma, but she kept avoiding it. Now that her father wants her to express her position in front of everyone, her mind is in a mess, and she doesn't know what to say.
"Dad, I, I'm ......"
Ma Yuannan also felt a little sudden, he was about to give up, but now Uncle Gu can be said to have left his last words, and hope appeared in his heart. He wanted to see what Gu Qing said.
Gu Qing's mother saw her daughter's hesitation and persuaded her: "Xiaoqing, Yuannan is a good boy, you have been playing together since childhood, you understand." ”
Ma Yuannan's mother also said: "Xiaoqing, you and Uncle Ma both like you very much, but we don't want to beg you, we will treat you as a daughter." ”
This situation made Ma Yuannan feel complicated. He said: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, Gu Qinggu Miao'er is my sister, and I will take good care of them." ”
Ma Yuannan's father said: "Lao Gu, the children's affairs will be talked about when you are well, and we will not mention it today." ”
Gu Qing's father pursed his lips and shook his head, this was his expression when he was stubborn. He looked at Gu Qing, "Xiaoqing-" Before the words came out, he coughed sharply.
Gu Qing hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Dad, I am willing, I promise you-"
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qing's father's mouth, and then slowly closed his eyes.
