Chapter 0128: Hope Lost
Shi Huaiyu accompanied his mother back home and saw that his father had returned.
Shi Huaiyu saw his father and called out to his father.
When his father saw Shi Huaiyu coming back, he was originally sitting on a stool under the eaves of the courtyard, but when he heard Shi Huaiyu calling him, his eyes dodged, and two cloudy tears suddenly welled up in his cloudy eyes.
The father snorted, moved away from the stool, and quietly walked to the door, squatting at the base of the doorway, with calloused hands, and took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket, tremblingly took out one from the cigarette case, and put it in his mouth.
Then he looked around for fire in his coat pocket, but he couldn't find it.
When my mother saw this, her wrinkled face couldn't help but feel a little angry, and she yelled at her father, "When did you learn to smoke?" Smoke less. ”
When Shi Huaiyu heard this, he was stunned, so he hurriedly went back to the kitchen and got a yellowed disposable lighter, walked up to his father, squatted down, snapped, and lit it for his father.
The father took a sharp sip and coughed repeatedly.
The mother yelled in the yard, "I haven't seen you smoke before, what's wrong with you now?" Old man, the sky can't fall. ”
When my father heard this, he stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet fiercely, and most of the cigarette was left, so he carefully wiped it and wanted to put it in the cigarette case again, but he was afraid that it would dirty other cigarette rolls, so he put it in his jacket pocket again.
Shi Huaiyu simply sat on the stone pier at the door and asked, "Dad, is my aunt disagreeing?" ”
The father shook his head, glanced at Shi Huaiyu, and said, "No, as soon as your aunt heard that it was for Huilan's treatment, she agreed on the spot, and later, she also made a phone call to your uncle who works in the county, and your uncle also agreed, but it was just ......"
"Just what?"
Shi Huaiyu's heart rose to his throat.
My father looked up sadly and looked at the mountain in the distance, but the high wall of the neighbor's house blocked the view, and it was difficult to see the whole view of the hill.
"Your aunt's family has only one child, not a few years older than him, and he hasn't been married until now, and a few years ago he said that he went out to wander, but as a result, about two years ago, after the trustee sent a large sum of money, there was no more news, the phone was also shut down, and the people from the same village who went with him also came back, saying that he had never seen him again after earning a sum of money."
The father said with great difficulty, and after that, he kept adding that when my aunt talked about her own children, she cried bitterly, and my father coaxed my aunt at my aunt's house all morning before coming back.
When Shi Huaiyu heard this, his heart sank into darkness, and his whole body was completely leaning against the earthen wall in front of his house.
The mother was cleaning up in the yard, and she was also listening attentively, and when she heard the news, one of the basins she was holding in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
The father didn't even look back, and he didn't have the courage to blame his mother anymore.
The father and mother, who are almost over half a hundred years old, have lived in the world for more than 40 years, and they are in the prime of life, but they are riddled with diseases and cannot work excessively, which makes life difficult, and it is difficult to guarantee the future life of the two children.
At this time, it is the time when the child needs the parents to pay the most, and it is also the time when the child needs the parents to lend a helping hand to save his life, but the father and mother are powerless.
If this hope is gone, it will be the tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.
The father couldn't help but beg Shi Huaiyu in a low voice: "Cub, although Huilan is not your own sister, he treats you ......"
"Dad, don't say it, how my sister treats me, I naturally know, I will do my best to save my sister, and you and my mother will always be my relatives, don't say anything after you see anything else."
Shi Huaiyu straightened up from the earthen wall, he knew that at this time, he was the only pillar of this family, and if he fell, this family would fall.
Just like in the ground, Bai Ruoqiu reprimanded him, at this time, no matter how slim the hope is, he has to cheer up, even if there is no hope, he has to create hope.
So, Shi Huaiyu said to his father: "Dad, there are many treatment options for my sister's illness, and bone marrow transplantation is just one of them. ”
Shi Huaiyu was comforting his father, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
The father raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Huaiyu, his body trembled suddenly, and he coughed a few times because of excitement: "You mean, your sister's illness can still be cured?" Can it be cured? ”
Shi Huaiyu nodded heavily.
The mother in the courtyard also picked up the enamel basin from the ground, beckoned Shi Huaiyu, her throat seemed to be blocked, and pretended to ask loudly: "What do your two friends want to eat, I'll make it." ”
"Well, we'll talk about it when they get back." Shi Huaiyu could hear his mother's voice, which was also full of surprise, so he casually agreed to his mother.
At this time, the father no longer sighed, but took out half a cigarette from his pocket again, brought it to his mouth, and raised his head towards Shi Huaiyu.
Shi Huaiyu hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it for his father, who took a puff sharply, although he still coughed, but he squatted on the ground, looked at the cigarette in front of him, and laughed.
"Cub, I haven't been out of the house, your sister will be handed over to you, as long as your sister is fine, she will repay you as a cow and a horse in this life."
Father said, but Shi Huaiyu burst into tears when he heard it.
It was the first time in a while that he had shed tears.
Two people were at the door, one squatting, the other sitting, no one spoke in a daze, after the father smoked the half of the cigarette, he reached out and took out the cigarette case, stroked it carefully, and said to himself: "Maybe you will have to ask someone to do something in the future, you take it." ”
Shi Huaiyu did not refuse his father, at this time, he could only take the cigarette case and solemnly put it in his pocket.
As long as he put it in his pocket, his father felt at ease.
At this time, Zhuo Yaxuan and Bai Ruoqiu, who went out to sell things, came back together, and as soon as they came back, the whole courtyard was lively.
The neighbors also knew that Shi Huaiyu had brought the two girls home, and they felt novel for a while, and from time to time they came to the yard to take a look under the pretext of borrowing things or asking about other things.
Shi Huaiyu dragged Bai Ruoqiu out of the yard, walked past a few neighbors' houses, and walked to a big tree, Shi Huaiyu told Bai Ruoqiu what happened to his father this morning, he wanted to hear Bai Ruoqiu's opinion.
Bai Ruoqiu kicked the big tree, the kick hurt, grinned, sighed and said: "According to the theory of Western medicine, if you really can't find a bone marrow that can be transplanted, then it is basically concluded that Shi Huilan's time will not be too long, Shenjun, you are ready to plan." ”
"Is there really nothing you can do?" Shi Huaiyu approached Bai Ruoqiu, almost face to face with Bai Ruoqiu, almost hysterically yelling at Bai Ruoqiu.
Bai Ruoqiu didn't dodge, but reached out and pulled his short ear-length hair, and said solemnly to Shi Huaiyu: "This is the most effective and only way now, apart from this method, I can't think of any other better way." ”
"The other methods are only a little delayed, and they cannot be healed from the root at all. Therefore, I can only regret to say that Shi Huilan's time is not long. ”
