The atmosphere at lunch was very dull. My father, who always loves to talk and laugh, was very silent today. He saw his father's face livid, and he could tell he was angry. He felt flustered, thinking that his father already knew his secret. He was too frightened to raise his head, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
The eldest brother also noticed that his father looked wrong today and asked casually: "Dad, what's wrong with you? You look ugly. Who are you angry with?"
My father finished the rice in his bowl in three strokes, slapped his chopsticks on the table and said, "I have worked hard for twenty years, and my body is exhausted. I even removed my spleen, but what's the use? Now it's starting to rise." I received my salary, but they said I took too many sick days and I didn¡¯t get any share of it. I really can¡¯t figure it out!¡±
The mother turned her face away and secretly wiped her tears. When Hanwen heard that his father was not angry about his own affairs, he was relieved. He asked his father softly: "Dad, don't be angry first. The doctor said you must not be angry because your illness will get worse. What is going on? Tell us."
The father also turned away and wiped away tears. This was the first time he saw his father shed tears. He winked at his younger brother, who stood up and hugged his father and said, "Dad, don't cry! Eat more." His mother also echoed, "Don't be too sad. It's not too late to understand now. Eat more." A bowl of rice, it¡¯s important to take care of yourself.¡±
My father suddenly covered his liver and was sweating profusely from the pain. He stood up hurriedly and said to his little brother: "You put away the dishes at home. Your second brother and I sent dad to the hospital." He then said to his mother: "Mom, take my dad's medical records. It seems that I Dad¡¯s illness has returned again.¡±
My father covered his liver with one hand and waved his other hand as he kept saying, "If you don't go to the hospital, it will be over. Going to the hospital will cost money. Our family's life is better, and I don't want to go back to the hospital because of my illness." Let our family have a hard time.¡±
He knew in his heart that his father would rather endure the pain than spend money on medical treatment. In order for his father to go to the hospital with peace of mind, he must tell his father his secret.
He turned around and entered the dark side room, took out the cardboard box from under the bed, picked up the newspaper bag and money, walked to his father and said, "Dad, I never told you and my mother. In fact, I made a lot of money. Look, All the money I earned is here." After saying that, he put the money on the table.
Mother opened the newspaper before he finished speaking, and a pile of unity was spread out in front of the family. My mother opened her mouth wide, and my father forgot about his pain and stared at the pile of money in a daze.
The younger brother excitedly said to his father: "Dad, you can go see a doctor without any worries! My eldest brother has made a lot of money. I counted more than 20,000 yuan!" The mother asked in surprise: "How much? More than 20,000? Boss, don't you Will it strengthen the bank?"
A smile appeared on his serious face: "Mom, how could I be so capable? I earned all this by selling champagne." His mother asked impatiently before he finished speaking: "What did you earn?" Didn¡¯t you give me all the money? You gave me two hundred for several months in a row, why is there still so much?"
He pulled his mother to sit on the stool and said to his two younger brothers: "You two sit down too. Today I will tell the whole family how I made so much money. In fact, it is very simple. When I go to the beverage factory Before the promotion, the small champagne wine had not opened up sales. In addition, their salesmen only thought about the supply and marketing cooperative, so the backlog of products was extremely serious.
After I went there, Director Liang gave me a base price. If I sold more than 1,000 boxes a month, I would pay 30 cents per bottle. Until they took the market back last month, I had supplied and sold a total of 15,000 boxes and earned nearly 10,000 yuan. After transferring the market to the beverage factory, I earned another nearly 10,000 yuan. I earned more than 4,000 yuan from purchasing sugar for a beverage factory.
I made a total of more than 23,000 yuan. Except for the money I give to my mother every month, the rest is here. Okay, I've explained the source of the money clearly. Now let it go! I never wanted to tell you, just because I was afraid you would think too much. "
After hearing this, my mother smiled brightly. He said to his father: "Don't be angry. It's funny to say that you are still angry about the sixteen yuan less money you get every month. Your eldest son earns thousands of times our salary. Go and take off your clothes." Take your work clothes and put on the new clothes that your son bought for you, and we will go to the hospital to see a doctor. If the factory staff hospital is not available, we will go to a hospital in the provincial capital."
The father was completely confused by the huge amount of money in front of him. It took him a long time to ask in a questioning tone: "Boss, did you earn all this money? If you can make so much money as a child, doesn't it violate the national policy?" Is that so? I am a party member and I must stick to my principles. We must not do anything that violates national policies."
The mother's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she said angrily: "I said, what about you, a party member? Not only are you a party member, you are also a model worker for more than ten years, and an advanced worker every year, but what about these? Boss , because the family provides?Have you forgotten that you couldn't afford a box of crayons, painted three red flags black, and were almost labeled as counterrevolutionaries? Didn't you also get a salary increase this time because you took too much sick leave? "
Big beads of sweat were pouring out from my father's head, and he covered his liver with his hands again. He hurriedly said to his mother: "Let's send my dad to the Workers' Hospital for pain relief first, and then find a way to transfer him to the Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see if there is a better treatment method. We are not short of money now."
The two younger brothers helped their father downstairs. He asked his mother to put the money away, and he took 500 yuan and rushed downstairs.
When we arrived at the hospital, because my father was a long-term patient, the doctors in the emergency department all knew him and directly handled the hospitalization procedures for him. After the doctor in the inpatient department gave him a simple examination, he hung up a sling bottle.
The mother was called out by the doctor, and it took nearly an hour before she returned to the ward. He kept staring into his mother's eyes silently. My father fell asleep shortly after hanging up the bottle.
He pulled his mother out of the ward and asked anxiously: "What did the doctor say? Is my dad's illness serious?"
The mother covered her face and started to cry. He knew that his father's condition was not good. Now that he has money, he must find a way to save his father.
He hugged his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, don't cry! There's no point in crying. How is my dad's illness?" The mother wiped away her tears and sighed and said, "The doctor said your dad is seriously ill. You must not be angry or tired, let alone catch a cold. Since the spleen has been removed, the pressure on the liver is too great, which can easily turn into liver cancer. If you take good care of yourself, you can still live for three to five years. If you are not careful, your condition will It deteriorated quickly.¡±
He did not believe that his father, who was less than forty years old, could leave him. He tried his best to control his sadness and said softly to his mother: "Mom, please take a month's personal leave! Take my dad to a large hospital in the provincial capital. Go take a closer look and see if there are any good imported drugs. No matter how much we spend, we will save my dad¡¯s life.¡±
His mother stroked his head and said, "Boss, I think so too. In the past, my family had no money, and to go to the doctor, we had to borrow money from the factory union. Now that we have money, I will take your dad to the provincial capital tomorrow." You go to the hospital to see a doctor, and you take care of your two younger brothers at home."
He thought for a while and said to his mother: "Mom, let me go with you! The two brothers are old and no one needs to take care of them anymore. I will go and you can discuss anything personally."
His mother didn't say anything for a long time, and he said anxiously: "Mom, don't even think about it. I must go with you." At this time, his father's attending physician came over and said to him and his mother: "You don't have to worry too much. , this attack is mainly caused by anger. Today, several old patients have come to the hospital. You said that the factory is also the same. There has been no salary increase for so many years. This time the salary increase only goes to 30% of the people. Can people who have gone up not be angry?"
As soon as he saw an opportunity, he said to the attending physician: "Uncle, can my father's disease be transferred to a provincial hospital for treatment? Are there any good imported drugs for this disease now?"
The attending doctor suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his head and said, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Some time ago, the professor from the Institute of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine who performed the surgery on your father called to inquire about your father's condition. Yeah! He said that all the patients who had the surgery with your father have passed away one after another. Your father is the longest-lived patient after spleen removal for liver and ascites. He also asked our hospital to tell you to take the time to review it! "
When he heard this, he said happily: "Uncle, then you can issue a transfer certificate! My mother and I will accompany my father to the provincial capital for medical treatment."
The attending doctor laughed loudly and said: "You are still a child, so you don't need to go. Our hospital will send a special nurse to go with me. Your father's disease has been studied as Terry by the Institute of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. So don¡¯t worry, your father will be given the best medicine. Go home and get ready. The hospital will send an ambulance to the provincial capital tomorrow.¡±
They returned home, and mother was packing a change of clothes for father. The two brothers sat on the sofa silently. He knew that he could not accompany his mother to the provincial hospital, and he was worried that his mother would be reluctant to spend money and delay his father's treatment.
He took out the bag of money from the cabinet, took two dozen and handed it to his mother and said, "Mom, you should take two thousand with you when you go to the provincial capital this time. If it is not enough, call the leader of your workshop and I will give it to you." money."
His mother looked at him in surprise and said, "How can you use so much money? The last time your dad had such a major operation, he only brought 500 yuan. In the end, he didn't spend it all. Don't forget, your dad is a doctor. The factory will reimburse the expenses."
He said calmly: "I know, but the factory will not reimburse the cost of imported drugs. If you want my dad to live longer, you must use good drugs. I heard that there is an imported drug that is specially used to treat liver cirrhosis. Yes, one shot costs more than fifty yuan! Just take it with you! Just??I am willing to spend any amount of money to cure my dad's disease. "
With tears in her eyes, her mother put the two thousand yuan into her bag and said with a choked voice: "Boss, our family will really depend on you from now on. It will take at least a week for me to accompany your dad to see a doctor, and maybe half a month if it takes longer." One month. You must take good care of your two brothers at home. Don¡¯t worry, if there is such imported medicine as you mentioned, I will definitely buy it for your father. "
Early the next morning, my mother accompanied my father in an ambulance to the provincial capital. Many years later, Hanwen still clearly remembers the fresh air and sunshine that morning.
It was because of that review in the provincial capital that my mother bought the best imported medicine for my father, and my father lived for another three years. Experts from the provincial capital's Institute of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine said that my father had created a medical miracle. He lived for another eight years after having his spleen removed due to liver cirrhosis. But the mother said that it was Hanwen who prolonged his father's life.
