One day, He Hansheng received a notice from Dr. Changsun that on the 28th, that is, on the 23rd of the lunar month, Father He could be operated.

He was very happy that his father could finally have surgery, but he was also worried that he might have to spend the Chinese New Year in the hospital because it would be difficult to be discharged within a week after the operation.

Due to the end of the year, work was also very busy, He Hansheng had to take three days off first, and went to the hospital with his parents on the 22nd of the lunar month.

The next day, the moment Dad pushed into the operating room, he could only pray.

Four hours after the operation, when Dad was pushed out of the operating room, he found that Dad was pale and still asleep because the anesthetic had not yet subsided. Thinking of how much sin his father had to endure during the operation, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Dr. Changsun said that the operation went well, and He Hansheng was very grateful and happy that his father had escaped.

In the afternoon, Dad woke up, but he was very weak, unable to speak, and relied entirely on others for eating and drinking.

After a night, Dad He was a little better and could sit on the pillow.

In the morning, the company's section chief Hou called him to go back.

He also knew that the holiday was coming soon, and the company also had a bunch of things to deal with.

He was embarrassed, his mother was illiterate, and his mother was the only one in the hospital, and his father needed help to sit up and get out of bed, and his mother didn't have so much strength. My sister and children are still young and can't come. He thought about it, so he could only ask his wife to come over and help.

In the hallway, he dialed his wife's phone.

"Jiahui"

"Han Sheng, what's wrong?"

"Jiahui, there is something wrong with the company, and our leader asked me to go back. Dad has already had surgery, and now Mom can't take care of Dad here alone, can you come and take a look? ”

"Where are you going to stay in the hospital?"

"I'll find a hotel, you and Jiejie will stay there first when it's okay, and when Dad's side has something, Mom will call you. I'll be back as soon as I'm done with the company. ”

"Well, okay. I'll clean up in a moment and I'll be over in the afternoon. ”

"Thank you, wife."

He Hansheng took advantage of the noon shopping time to go to the hotel east of the hospital to have a look. Some are closed without windows, some are without air conditioning, and there are no toilets in the rooms, he searched and searched, and finally found a hotel with a toilet in the room and air conditioning, although it is a little expensive, but it is safe and comfortable to live in.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from his wife.

"Jiahui, you've arrived."

"We just got off at the station."

"Oh. Take a taxi. It's almost ten minutes away. ”

Hanging up the phone, He Hansheng prepared to go downstairs.

"Mom and Dad, Jiahui and Jiejie are here. I'll pick them up. ”

"What are they coming for? On a cold day, besides, there are many sick people here, and children can't stand it. Father He said worriedly.

"I have to go back to the office tomorrow, and my mom can't do it alone. I found them a hotel, where they usually stay, and if they needed to check or something, they called Jiahui over. They'll be there soon, I'll go down and pick them up. ”

"Wear more." Mother He instructed.

"yes, got it."

It is said that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, which is true. As soon as He Hansheng walked out of the door of the hospital, he felt a chill. Especially in the shade, the wind is like a knife cut, and the ears are instantly numb and painful. The snow on the ground began to melt, and there was snow water everywhere.

He stood anxiously at the entrance of the hospital.

Soon, a taxi pulled up next to him.

The moment he saw his wife and son, his nose was sore, and his eyes immediately blurred. In this icy and snowy place, it should be a happy family, warm and at home, rather than running around and freezing like now.

Peng Jiahui got out of the car with Jie Jie in her arms.

"Put your hat on, it's cold."

"Hansheng, there's still a bag in the car, you can take it down."

"Well, good. Did you give money to the master? ”

"Not yet." The wind was indeed fierce, and Peng Jiahui's feet slid a little.

"Master, how much?"

"Fifteen."

"Master, give money." He Hansheng took out a ten-piece and a five-piece one.

"That's right."

"Okay. Thank you. ”

The taxi drove away.

"Put your hat on, it's too cold." He Hansheng looked at his wife, whose hair was blown by the wind, and felt a little distressed.

"Come on, Jiejie, dad hug." He took Jay.

Jiejie wrapped it like a zongzi, only showing two eyes, and he saw his father.

"Daddy." Jie Jie stared at He Hansheng's face and shouted.

"Good son. Let's go to the hospital. ”

He Hansheng was worried that his wife would not be able to remember the road, so he instructed him as soon as he entered the hospital gate.

"This hospital is huge, I must have remembered it. Once you're inside, keep walking. There is a supermarket in front of it and breakfast in the morning. It's cold now, if you buy something, go to that supermarket and don't go out. There are four elevators, and to get to Dad's room, you need to take the two on the side. It is the north gate of the hospital, and from there you can go to the hotel. Fast into the elevator, it's too cold in here. ”

Indeed, although the door is blocked by a cotton curtain, it is still cold.

"Dad lives on the 17th floor, and the No. 1 elevator sometimes stops on the single floor, so let's take the No. 2 elevator in the future."

They went to the 17th floor together.

The air conditioner was on in the ward and it was warm inside.

Peng Jiahui was already in the room, and shouted "Mom and Dad" first

Mom and Dad were also very happy to see Jiahui and Jiejie coming.

"Jiejie, grandma hug."

Jie Jie looked at it and lay on Peng Jiahui's shoulder again.

"Mom, let me hold it, you take good care of Dad. Dad's eating is fine now. ”

"It's okay to eat." Dad He said.

"That's good."

Maybe it was because the ward was too stuffy, and Jie Jie started crying for a while.

Peng Jiahui walked out of the ward with Jie Jie in her arms, and He Hansheng also followed.

"Let's go up to the balcony and get some air." He Hansheng pointed to the balcony to the east and said.

"Well, it's so stuffy in the house. Where do you and your mom stay at night? ”

"There are folding cots for rent, twenty a night, and you can rest on it when you are tired."

"It's four o'clock now, I'll go rent a small bed first, or it won't be too late."

Peng Jiahui took Jiejie to the balcony.

Soon, He Hansheng also came over.

"Got a cot?"

"Hmm. There is only one left. I've moved to my dad's room. ”

"Look, how can the hospital have such an open balcony, how unsafe it is?"

"For breathability. It's not too stuffy. It's too cold here, go inside. ”

"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"There is a trip at six o'clock, I take the morning bus, and I can still go to work when I go back."

He Hansheng was obviously a lot haggard, and Peng Jiahui looked a little distressed.

"Why don't my mother and I stay with my dad at night, and you and Jiejie will stay in a hotel, so you can also have a good night's sleep."

"How? Jiejie still has to feed at night. ”

"It's okay, I brought powdered milk. Feed him once in the evening with powdered milk. Don't get tired, you have to go to work tomorrow. ”

"Well, okay. It's almost five o'clock, let's go to dinner. ”

They went back to the ward.

"Mom and Dad, let's go to dinner first. Later, I'll bring the food. By the way, Jiahui wants to stay with the bed here at night. Jay Jie and I went to the hotel. ”

"How's that going to work? Jiejie still wants to feed, or Jiahui should go to the hotel. "Mother He didn't want either.

"Mom, it's okay. Just one night, Jiejie can drink milk powder. Hansheng is also tired and has to go to work tomorrow. I can. ”

Everyone had no choice but to agree.

They went downstairs together.

"Dad said he wanted to eat fish, but the cafeteria didn't do it, so let's go to the restaurant in the east."

"yes, okay."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything."

The restaurant had no air conditioning or heating, so they found a seat in the back.

He Hansheng asked for a fried hairtail, a fried cauliflower, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, four bowls of rice porridge, two of which were packed, and six steamed buns. When the food came up, he packed a few portions and sent them to his parents.

Meals in the hospital are already expensive, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is even more expensive. A meal costs more than 100 yuan, and now there is no one in the family who earns money, and all the expenses are supported by his meager salary. He also felt unprecedented pressure. If you work for a few more days, you can earn more money. This is a critical time, and there is no better way.

After He Hansheng delivered the food to his parents, he rushed back to the restaurant.

"Han Sheng, there are two pieces of hairtail, you can eat them."

"You eat. Did Jay Jie drink porridge? ”

"Drank a little. Why don't you bring a piece of fish for each person? Peng Jiahui took a piece of hairtail fish and put it in He Hansheng's bowl.

After they finished eating, they went to the hotel together.

"There is milk powder here, Jiejie wants to eat milk once in the middle of the night, and when he wants it, he brews it for him, with warm water. You should prepare some cold water in advance, and then you can mix it with hot and cold water. Jiejie will be sleepy for a while, I will feed him and sleep well at night. ”

Sure enough, Jiejie drank milk for a while and fell asleep.

Peng Jiahui gently put him on the bed.

"Jay is asleep, I'll go to the hospital in a moment. You should go to bed early, too. By the way, I'll be here tomorrow morning at six o'clock. ”

"It doesn't have to be so early."

"Don't be late. I'll go first. ”

"Be careful on the road. When you get to the hospital, give me a message. ”

"Well, okay. Go to bed early. ”

About seven or eight minutes later, He Hansheng received a WeChat message from his wife, who had arrived at the hospital safely. He was also really tired, so he prepared a glass of water, milk powder, spoons, and small bowls, and if needed, he could make milk powder as quickly as possible at night.

In the middle of the night, Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, suddenly heard the child's cry, and Jiejie woke up.

He scrambled to his feet and hurriedly turned on the light.

"Jay, Jay," he whispered.

Jay Jie sat up.

"Jiejie, I'm Dad, Jiejie is hungry, right?"

"Hmm."

"Don't cry, Dad will make you milk powder."

He first poured some cold boiled water in the bowl, and then went to the water dispenser outside to pick up some hot water, he tasted it, it was a little hot, so he added cold water, and when the water temperature was not particularly hot, he put in three spoons of milk powder, and then stirred it with a small spoon. He was afraid that he would burn the child, so he tasted the milk powder again.

"yes, alright." He muttered to himself with great satisfaction.

"Come on, Jiejie drink milk powder."

Jiejie's eyes were half-open, obviously still very sleepy.

He Hansheng fed spoonful by spoonful, and Jiejie gulped down, estimating that Jiejie woke up hungry. When milk powder flowed down from the corners of Jiejie's mouth, he hurriedly tore a piece of paper and wiped it.

Soon, Jiejie drank half a bowl of milk powder and only the bottom of the bowl remained. When he fed again, Jay closed his mouth and turned his head to the side. Although Jiejie couldn't speak, he guessed that Jiejie was almost full.

"Jie Jie is full? Daddy will cuddle up and sleep again. He carried Jay Jie back to the bed.

Jie Jie lay under the quilt and looked at He Hansheng.

"Jie Jie sleep, dad hug." He Hansheng said very caringly, and hummed softly.

Jie Jie listened to the song, his eyes were soon half-closed and half-open, and after a while, he fell asleep peacefully.

He Hansheng got up and gently closed the door, and went back to bed to sleep.

At six o'clock in the morning, He Hansheng was woken up by a knock on the door. It was the wife who came.

"You're up early."

"Let's get to the bus early. At this time, there are many people who take the car. I bought eggs and millet porridge, you can drink some later. Peng Jiahui said and hung the millet porridge on the doorknob.

"It's so cold outside." Peng Jiahui rubbed her hands, and the warmth in the room made her feel a lot more comfortable.

He Hansheng hurriedly went to wash up.

"Let's have some food together." He Hansheng brought the millet porridge over and poured it into the bowl.

"Raise the bag, don't spill it." Peng Jiahui was worried about spilling, so she came over to help.

"You stay here at night, be careful. Keep the door closed. As soon as the company is over, I'll be back. He Hansheng is still very worried.

Before dawn, He Hansheng hurried to take the car.
