Chapter 463: Visiting the sick
Yang Yuhua thought her wife was asleep. Looking at her old face, Yang Yuhua was filled with emotions. She clearly understood that sooner or later, one person had to take that step, and one of the couple always had to take the lead. She once thought that walking in
The person in front must be her. Unexpectedly, it was the old man who was seriously ill. There was a tumor in his lungs. Even if Zhao Liangsheng downplayed it, she knew that it was definitely not a good disease.
Yang Yuhua held Yan's father's hand and sat quietly by the bed to accompany him. However, she was also eighty years old and couldn't stand sitting for so long, so she wanted to lie on the bedside and rest for a while. Unexpectedly,
I lay down on my stomach and actually fell asleep.
Father Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point.
Yan Siqin and his wife pushed open the door of the ward and saw that their parents were sleeping soundly. She did not dare to disturb them, so she tiptoed to the bedside, gently placed the thermos pot and sesame seed cakes on the bedside table, and then pulled Zhao Liangsheng over to them.
Outside the ward.
It doesn't matter if you fall asleep, at least you won't have random thoughts for a short time, and you won't have to worry.
The two uncles had not been to the ward yet. Zhao Liangsheng was worried that they would not be able to find a place, so he said to Yan Siqin: "I'll wait for the eldest and second brothers at the gate, otherwise I'm afraid they won't find us again."
"Go ahead." Yan Siqin waved his hand and sat on the chair next to him.
The two brothers, Yan Sidong, arrived at the bank. The bank was about to get off work now, and there were not many people. Yan Siliang held the deposit discount and asked Yan Sidong, "Brother, how much money should we withdraw first?"
Yan Sidong thought for a while and said to his younger brother: "Let's take out five hundred each and use it first. If it's not enough, we'll get it later."
In this era when households worth ten thousand yuan are rare, five hundred yuan is not a small amount.
"Okay." Yan Siliang agreed and handed the deposit certificate into the window, "Comrade, please help me withdraw five hundred yuan."
The business was done very quickly. The brothers withdrew the money and rushed to the hospital on their bicycles without delaying for a moment.
Zhao Liangsheng was looking around at the entrance of the hospital. When he was not paying attention, the bicycle was already riding in front of him. The harsh sound of brakes "squeaked" startled him.
Zhao Liangsheng turned around and said, "Oh, second brother, you're here so quickly."
Yan Siliang held the handle of the car and stood on tiptoe with one foot on the ground, "I saw you from far away. What were you thinking? We were all here and you didn't even look."
"I didn't think anything of it." Zhao Liangsheng said, "Dad lives in the building at the back. I will take you there."
Father Yan woke up first. As soon as he moved, Yang Yuhua felt movement in her hand and immediately woke up. She moved her elbow which was numb by her, stood up and half-bent over, and asked with concern: "Old man
, do you want some water?"
Father Yan shook his head, "I won't drink the water anymore. I want to go to the latrine."
"I'll help you go." Yang Yuhua said and was about to put on Dad Yan's shoes.
Although Father Yan was found to have a tumor in his lungs, his current physical condition is fully capable of taking care of himself. However, he is now particularly dependent on his wife. He waits for Yang Yuhua to put on his shoes and holds her hand as he walks out.
Today, ever since she learned that her father was seriously ill, Yan Siqin's heart was stuck in her heart. She had been pacing outside the ward, walking from one end of the corridor to the other, standing by the window and looking outside for a while, waiting for her.
When I returned to the door of the ward, I happened to bump into my parents who were coming back from the toilet.
"Father, mother, you're awake." Yan Siqin hurriedly stepped forward to support Father Yan, "I saw you sleeping soundly just now. How did you come back from outside in such a blink of an eye?"
"I went to the hut with your father." Yang Yuhua said, "Why are you back so soon?"
"I made black-bone chicken soup and brought it to you to drink. Also, my eldest and second brothers are here too."
"Your brother and the others are here too?" Father Yan turned his head and looked around, "Why don't I see anyone?"
Yan Siqin helped his father sit back on the bed, "I'm going to the bank, I guess I'll be there soon."
Father Yan knew what his son meant when he went to the bank. The money must be withdrawn for his medical treatment.
When I was talking to people when I was young, I heard that the older people get, the more afraid of death they become. Some people even ate live loaches alive after hearing that they could cure diseases. At the time, he scoffed at it, and said that he was not afraid of death.
When you are old and know that you are about to die, you can take a packet of rat poison and it will be clean and tidy, so as not to cause any trouble to your children.
When things came to an end, it was no longer the case. It turned out that he was also afraid of death, and he was very afraid. He wanted to live, even if he was barely alive, he still wanted to live.
To be honest, he really didn't want to cause trouble to his children. He also met the day when he was sick. The old couple usually lived a relatively frugal life. They didn't spend any money if they could. Over the years, they also saved a little money.
.
"Daughter, my father has saved some money and locked it in the cabinet beside the bed. The key is placed under your mother's pillow. Take it out when you have time and hand it over to the hospital."
Yan Siqin knew about the money. Yang Yuhua once told her that it was estimated to be only about two hundred yuan. The money that Yan's father had saved was spent on building a house for his two sons and marrying their wives. This small amount of money should be filial to the children.
As an old couple, they were not willing to spend all their money, so they saved little by little.
Yan Siqin comforted him: "Dad, you don't have to worry about money. Just treat your illness with peace of mind."
"Dad saved money just for today." Father Yan sighed guiltily: "Dad's illness has caused trouble for you guys."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Yan Siqin's eyes heated up and he said, "It's no trouble, it's time for us to repay you."
When Zhao Liangsheng led his two uncles to the door of the ward, he suddenly stopped walking. Yan Siliang, who was following him, luckily reacted in time, otherwise he would have bumped into his back.
Yan Siliang hid aside and touched his nose in confusion, "Liangsheng, what's wrong?"
"Dad doesn't know that he has lung cancer. Don't let it slip when the time comes."
Yan Sidong: "Don't worry, neither of us knows anything."
Zhao Liangsheng: "You two have come to the hospital, so you can't know everything. You have to pretend to be a little bit cool for a while."
Yan Sidong: "Then I just say that I know I have a tumor and don't talk about lung cancer, okay?"
Zhao Liangsheng nodded and said, "That's okay, that's what everyone says anyway."
The three of them discussed their words and then entered the ward together.
Father Yan is particularly vulnerable now. He wants to pretend that he doesn't care about his illness, but when he sees his two sons, his eye circles still turn red uncontrollably.
There was fear in Dad's eyes and a desire for life, "Dad." Yan Sidong felt pain in his heart and stepped forward to hold Yan's father's hands, "Dad, how are you?"
Yan Siliang followed his eldest brother, "Dad."
"Ahem." Father Yan coughed, and Yan Siliang hurriedly went to pat his father on the back.
Yan Siqin quickly added some hot water to the tea cup and gave it to his old father to drink.
The three children were surrounding him, which made Father Yan feel very at ease. He drank some water, moistened his throat and said, "Boss, Second Brother, why are you here?"
Yan Siliang continued to caress Yan's father's back, "Liangsheng said you were sick, so we came quickly."
Father Yan drank a glass of water and said duplicitously: "Look, I'm so busy and yet I'm letting you worry about me."
Yan Sidong said: "Dad, don't say that. In our hearts, your matter is a big deal."
It is true to raise children for old age. My sons are all good. Well, daughters are no worse than sons and are also good. Father Yan is very pleased, "I just told your sister that my father has this disease."
, I can’t let you take all the money. Dad and your mother have also saved some money and will use it later for medical expenses.”
"Dad, don't worry about money." Yan Sidong patted the back of his father's hand and said, "The three of us have agreed that the money for your medical treatment will be paid by our three families. You and my mother will not be so good at it in the future.
, buy whatever you want to eat, your health is the first priority." He said jokingly: "When you get better, you will also take my mother to travel and see the great rivers and mountains of China."
Speaking of his illness, Yan's father's expression darkened, "I'm afraid my illness won't be cured."
"Dad, what are you talking about? As long as we cooperate with the doctor and there are no incurable diseases, my mother is still waiting to go out with you." After finishing speaking, Yan Sidong winked at Yang Yuhua and said, "Mom, yes
Bar?"
"That's right." Yang Yuhua immediately understood what his son meant, and then agreed, "I've been with you all my life, and you haven't taken me anywhere. I'm waiting. When you get better, we can go out for a walk.
You don’t have to go, just take me to Mount Tai. I heard that the gods on the mountain are magical, so we will go and pay our respects, and ask the gods to bless our children and make them better."
A smile appeared on Father Yan's face, and he raised his beard and said, "You have old arms and legs and you are still climbing mountains. With your legs, it is difficult to get out of the village."
Yan Siqin sat next to his mother and held her arm. "It just so happens that we are in the hospital and we will treat my mother's legs together. Then I will climb Mount Taishan with you."
"You can't climb it, either. Look at how old your parents are. They are still climbing Mount Tai. Why can't you become a master?"
Yan Siqin: "Dad, if you can't climb up, there is still a ropeway. Let's just take the ropeway up."
The family talked for a while, but when they saw that it was getting late, Yan Siqin touched the outer skin of the thermos and said, "Mom, dad, are you hungry? Let's eat first, otherwise, the chicken soup will get cold after a while."
"
Father Yan felt much better under the care of his relatives. He felt a little hungry when he felt his stomach, and agreed: "Then let's eat."
While their parents were eating, the three brothers Yan Sidong discussed the issue of escorting them. Yang Yuhua heard from the side and said, "You three should be busy doing whatever you want. I'm fine, so I'll stay with your father."
"Mom, it's true that you're fine, but your health is not good either. What's the point of exhausting you again?" Yan Siqin said, "Besides, my dad still has to do all those examinations, and you can't find the right place either.
