In the following days, He Hansheng kept thinking about his father's illness. Almost every day or two, he called home and asked.

Just after getting off work on Saturday, He Hansheng dialed his mother's phone again.

"Mom, how's my dad's cough?"

"After taking the medicine, it was a little lighter during the day, and I still coughed like that at night. You say your dad really has lung cancer, so what can you do? ”

"Mom, don't worry just yet. Let's go to Qingdao Municipal Hospital tomorrow. Tomorrow Sunday, I will also rest. ”

"yes, okay. I'll talk to your dad in a moment. ”

Hanging up the phone, He Hansheng fell into deep thought. There are only two and a half thousand left in the bank card, and the current salary has paid off the mortgage, and even the wife's insurance is not enough. But there is no way but to take one step at a time. When he went home and passed the bank, he withdrew all the money.

Early the next morning, He Hansheng met his parents at the station, and then got on the bus to Qingdao together.

Since the last company dinner, Charmanti has been thinking about He Hansheng, and she also wants to go to his home to see, she is very curious about what kind of life He Hansheng has.

This weekend, it is estimated that He Hansheng is also at home. So, she wanted to go to Peng Jiahui's house in the name of shopping with him.

"Hey, Sister Jiahui, are you at home?"

"It's Mandy, I'm at home."

"Today Sunday, let's go shopping together."

"Okay. I haven't been shopping for a long time. Peng Jiahui thought for a few seconds, because He Hansheng was not at home, so she agreed.

"By the way, have you eaten? The rice porridge I cooked, why don't you come and eat it together. ”

"I slept for a long time and just woke up. Okay, I'll clean up and I'll go to your house in a minute. ”

"By the way, what building do you live in?"

"Building 3, Unit 2, Unit 403."

"yes, okay."

Charmanti was happy all of a sudden, full of energy, and finally able to go to the house of the man she liked. She dressed herself up like a young lady.

She drove to the Fuxin community, and in less than ten minutes, she parked her car at the entrance of the community.

It's the first time I've entered this community. The road surface is clean, there is an underground speaker every few meters, and soothing and melodious music permeates the entire community. She stepped on her high heels and walked elegantly to Building 3.

She opened the door, entered the building, and took the elevator.

Peng Jiahui had already opened the door.

"Sister Jiahui" didn't see her, she heard her voice first, and Charmanti's crisp voice had already reached the house.

"Mandy is here, come in." Peng Jiahui hugged Jie Jie and came out.

"Your house is so clean." Charmanti couldn't help but be surprised.

Indeed, Peng Jiahui is very good at cooking. The furniture is well organized and the floors are clean and bright. The balcony is floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole living room is spacious and bright, and the room is warm and welcoming. On the right side of the TV cabinet is a pot of Junzi Orchid, and in the left corner of the wall is a fortune tree, the leaves are lush and spotless.

"Let's eat together. This is freshly cooked rice porridge, I added some lilies, goji berries and lotus seeds, and eggs here. ”

"Sister Jiahui, you are too powerful. I'm going to learn from you. ”

"What are you studying? You're so much better than I am. ”

"Where. Brother He is so blessed to have a wife like you. Alas, what about Big Brother He? Charmanti also noticed that Ho Hansheng did not seem to be at home.

"He's in the hospital."

"Huh? Brother He is sick? ”

"It's not him, it's Grandpa Jiejie."

"Oh, Grandpa Jiejie, is it serious?"

"It seems that the lungs are not good."

"Oh. Is it related to smoking? ”

"Almost."

"Our parents were too fond of smoking. I really don't understand what there is to smoke cigarettes. ”

"That's it, it's good that my Hansheng doesn't smoke."

"Hehe, Brother He is considered to be the best among men."

Charmanti drank a bowl of rice porridge and was full. In order to let Peng Jiahui eat with peace of mind, she hugged Jiejie. Jie Jie also exudes a fragrance, which is exactly what He Hansheng is on, and it can be seen that He Hansheng often holds the child at home.

Charmanti stood on the balcony with Jay in her arms.

There were a few pieces of clothing hanging on the drying rack, but a pair of purple cut-out men's underwear with holes stood out. He Hansheng looks elegant on the surface, but he didn't expect to be sullen.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

She flicked Jiejie's nose lightly with her hand, "Your dad is a sullen man, hehe." Her voice was so small that she could barely hear it.

After Peng Jiahui finished eating, she quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks, and went out with Charmanti.

On the shopping street, Charmanti bought a bento box.

"Don't you have a cafeteria in your company?"

"It's not delicious to cook, and you have to spend money to buy it, so I usually bring it myself."

"Can I bring my own food? Isn't it cool? ”

"It's not cold, there is a hot meal in the canteen at noon."

"Oh. Hansheng never said it, and thought you all bought it from the cafeteria. ”

"A lot of people in the company bring food, about a quarter."

"I'll buy one too. When the time comes, you can let Hansheng bring rice too. ”

"Yes. You can't buy good food for money in the cafeteria. ”

"Yes. That's right, Mandy. I'll find a place to feed Jiejie first, or after a while, I will cry again. ”

"Oh. Why don't you go to the opticians in front? I know the manager of his house. ”

"Hmm. Good. ”

They went to the optician's shop together.

Charmanti and the store manager seemed to know each other very well, and they chatted as soon as they entered the house. The store manager was also very enthusiastic, and when he saw that it was a friend of Charmanti, he deliberately found a room for Peng Jiahui to go in to feed.

Charmanti saw that Peng Jiahui's glasses were a little dirty, so she wanted the store manager to wash them.

"Sister Jiahui, let them wash your glasses."

"Don't bother."

"It's free, take it." Charmanti reached out and took her glasses off.

Peng Jiahui's eyes were blurred. To be honest, although I have only met Charmanti twice, I like to get along with her. They are of the same age, and Charmanti is cheerful, enthusiastic and generous, so gradually Peng Jiahui has no defense against her.

The glasses were quickly washed, and Charmanti brought Peng Jiahui over again, and brought a glass of warm water.

"Sister Jiahui, wash it and put it on." When Charmanti saw that Jay was asleep, her voice suddenly became quieter, "This is water." She placed the water gently on the cupboard.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Why don't you put Jay on the couch and let him sleep first. ”

"No need. I'll hold him. I don't sleep long during the day. ”

After about twenty minutes, Jay Jie woke up.

"The little handsome guy is awake, let's go eat." Charmanti said with a smile.

"I'm just a little hungry."

"Let's go, let's go eat spicy fragrant pot."

In the hospital, He Hansheng looked at his mobile phone, it was already half past eleven, and he thought that the results of his father's lung CT were almost out.

He took his father's health insurance card and went to the first floor again.

He swiped the card in front of the film machine, and sure enough, the CT film came out. He took it and looked at the light, but he couldn't read it.

So I hurried to the doctor.

"Doctor, this is my dad's CT scar."

"I'll see." The doctor took the film and looked at it carefully.

"It's almost certain that your dad has lung cancer."

"Huh?" There was still a glimmer of hope just now, but when he heard the doctor's words, He Hansheng was completely desperate, "What should I do then?" Can it still be cured? ”

"Don't worry too much. Can be surgically removed. The doctor said calmly.

"Oh. How much does the surgery cost? ”

"About 100,000. It also depends on your dad's physique. ”

"Ahh More than 100,000. He Hansheng exclaimed in surprise. For him now, it is indeed a lot. With so much money, where are you going to get it? "Doctor, when can I have surgery?"

"Before the surgery, you will also have to do a comprehensive examination to see the location and size of the tumor and assess your father's physical condition."

"Oh, thank you, doctor."

He Hansheng was suddenly left with no master, and he didn't know what to do. But first of all, don't tell my dad about this result. He wanted to discuss with his mother what to do next.

He quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his parents.

"Hansheng, are the results of the examination out?" Mother He asked eagerly.

"It came out, and the doctor said it was pneumonia."

"That's good." Mother He said with a smile.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, let's go get something to eat. When you're done eating, go home. ”

"Hmm." Mother He believed it, and her heart immediately felt a lot easier.

He Hansheng was so confused that he only ate two dumplings.

On the way back, he sat in the last row, his head resting on the backrest, wilting, and his mood was extremely low.

Snowflakes were falling outside, and the cold was so sudden that it was hard to be guarded against.

Peng Jiahui and Charmanti also finished eating, and because it was numb and spicy, they sweated profusely.

They walked out of the store.

"Alas, it's snowing." When Shamanti saw the snowfall, she cried out.

"Why is it snowing so early this year?" Peng Jiahui looked up at the sky suspiciously.

"Get in the car, don't freeze Jiejie."

Peng Jiahui hugged Jiejie and quickly got into the car, the car was warm and comfortable.

Peng Jiahui called He Hansheng.

"Han Sheng, are you back?"

"I'm already in the car, and it's about an hour and a half away."

"Oh. What were the results? ”

"I'll talk about it when I get home."

"yes, okay."

Peng Jiahui hung up the phone.

"Brother He is back?"

"I'm already in the car. There is still more than an hour to go. ”

"Oh. How old is Grandpa Jay? ”

"Fifty-eight."

"That's not a big age. I'm still young, so I shouldn't be fine. Sister Jiahui, if you need any help, just tell me. ”

"Hmm. Thank you, Mandy. ”。

Peng Jiahui looked at the gray sky and the wanton snowflakes through the car window, and couldn't help but worry.

Charmanti parked the car at the entrance of the Fuxin community again.

"Mandy, I'll get out of the car first. Thank you today. ”

"Sister Jiahui, you're welcome. It's cold outside.,Let's go home quickly.。。 ”

"Hmm. The road is slippery in the snow, so be careful on the road. ”

Charmanti drove away.

Peng Jiahui put her coat on Jiejie's head and quickly walked home.

He Hansheng originally wanted his parents to come to live at home, but he was worried that there would be no one to take care of him in his hometown, and his parents insisted on going back, so he didn't deliberately keep him. After getting off the train, catch the last train at the station.

After sending his parents away, He Hansheng stood alone in the wind and snow, and the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Fate is pressing step by step, it seems to force him to a desperate situation, and he has nowhere to vent the helplessness and depression in his heart. In front of his wife, he tried to remain calm and casual as much as possible, because he did not want her to see his sadness and panic.

By the time he got home, it was completely dark.

"Wife, I'm back." He Hansheng shivered from the cold.

"Where's Mom and Dad? Why didn't you come? ”

"My parents were worried that there would be no one to take care of them in their hometown, so they had to go back. However, it happened to catch the last train. ”

"How's Dad's test results?"

"The doctor said that it was basically lung cancer." He Hansheng hesitated for a while and said.

"Really?" Peng Jiahui's mood suddenly became heavy, "What should I do then?" ”

"I have to have surgery."

"How much does that cost?"

"Almost a hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand!" Peng Jiahui said in surprise. Because after marrying He Hansheng, she has never seen so much money. One hundred thousand, for their family, is a bit astronomical.

The air also seemed to be much heavier.

"It's okay, we can borrow some first." He Hansheng pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Who are you borrowing from? How can it be so easy to borrow money now? ”

"Wait until I ask Jia Hao, he should have money."

"Did you tell Aunt Jiejie?"

"My sister just gave birth, so let's not tell her about my father's illness for the time being. Besides, the family couldn't help much. ”

"By the way, I went shopping with Charmanti today, and she looks quite rich. She also said that if she needed help, she could talk to him. ”

"Hmm." He Hansheng nodded heavily.

"What would you like to eat?"

"What about you?"

"We ate late in the afternoon, and we're not hungry now."

"I'm not hungry either. I'll eat an apple. He Hansheng took an apple from the plate on the coffee table.

Peng Jiahui saw her husband's melancholy, and didn't say anything anymore, and went to the bedroom with Jiejie in her arms.

He Hansheng ate the apples one by one, as if he did not believe that misfortune would befall his family, especially their family at such a young age. Buying a house, getting married, and having children, I have spent all my savings, and now is the time when I am most short of money, but I didn't expect my father to have lung cancer again, and fate is sometimes really helpless.

Peng Jiahui walked out of the bedroom.

"Jay Jie slept?" He Hansheng asked, what he hurts the most now is his son, which is also his only hope.

"Hmm. Just slept. You see, I bought you a lunch box today. If you don't like to eat from the cafeteria, you can bring your own food in the future. ”

"Hmm." He Hansheng glanced at the lunch box and answered. He didn't like to bring food, and he felt like it was inferior. Even though the cafeteria food was not delicious, he didn't want others to look down on him. He is not an arrogant person, but he has always lived proudly.

The cold outside had already invaded the building, driving out the warmth of the house.

"I'm a little sleepy, let's go to bed early." After a busy day, He Hansheng was a little sleepy.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

The snow has stopped. There wasn't much snow on the road either, just a few scattered snowflakes on the side of the road, which seemed to tell people that it had snowed yesterday. The temperature has dropped significantly, and the cold is everywhere.
