My mother looked at me doubtfully, but she sat down anyway.
Then I said to my mother: "Mom, I contacted you and your father for a comprehensive physical examination at the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University. I have already paid the fee. But when I went to tell my father about this just now, he didn't agree.
Mom, I don’t mean anything else, because I used to be a doctor and I know very well that your age is the age at which certain diseases are most likely to occur, such as cardiovascular disease. Many veteran cadres go for a physical examination every year. This is
Please advise Dad on the matter."
But the mother shook her head and said: "It's not like you don't know your dad's temper. It's hard for others to convince him when he decides things. My body is also very good, and I don't feel uncomfortable in any way. Forget it, you go.
Refund the money."
The two of them said exactly the same thing, and I couldn't laugh or cry. But I felt that I had to convince my mother, because my father could still listen to some of what my mother said. Then I asked my mother: "Mom, have you noticed that my father is losing weight recently?
He drank a lot, and his face didn’t look quite right.”
My mother said, "Yes. I also asked him about it, and he said it was caused by not adapting to the jet lag after going abroad. He also said that it would be fine after a while."
I asked again, "Then, do you think there is anything unusual about him?"
After thinking for a while, the mother said: "He seems to have some insomnia recently. He often gets up in the middle of the night to smoke, and he has to get up several times a night."
My heart suddenly sank, and I thought to myself: Maybe it shouldn't be insomnia, maybe it was the pain that prevented me from falling asleep.
At this moment, I was very hesitant because I really didn't know whether to tell my mother about my suspicions about my father's illness. I hesitated and pondered for a long time.
My mother noticed my abnormality and asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
I looked at my mother with a heavy heart and said, "Mom, I think there seems to be something wrong with Dad's health recently. I am a doctor, so I am more sensitive to such situations. It is absolutely not true that a person suddenly becomes thin and looks ugly.
It should just be a problem caused by jet lag. Therefore, I very much hope that you can persuade Dad to go to the hospital with you for a comprehensive physical examination. Otherwise, I will be really worried. Many people's diseases nowadays are actually caused by procrastination.
When it comes out, it could have been cured by taking medicines and injections, but it turns out that it has to undergo a major operation. This kind of situation is very common. Don't you think so?"
My mother was looking at me, "Xiao'er, are you suspecting that your dad has a serious health problem?"
I nodded: "Mom, I'm not doubtful, but worried."
The mother said: "Then, let me persuade him. Then I will go to the hospital with him. But what should I do with this child?"
I smiled and said: "Don't you still have me? The current physical examination center is very convenient for physical examination. When the time comes, I only need to send you there, and then you don't need to take care of anything. The medical staff inside will take care of you one on one.
You go for various physical examinations. It’s easy and quick.”
"That's good..." my mother said, but before she finished speaking, I suddenly heard a "bang" on the ground beside me, followed by the child's howling.
I hurriedly turned sideways to look, and suddenly found that the child had fallen from the sofa to the ground for some unknown reason.
The mother's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly picked up the child. Then she kept coaxing her like "meat" and "baby" while carefully checking whether the child was injured.
In fact, I have noticed that the child should be unscathed. Maybe he stepped on his foot while jumping and playing on the sofa, so he fell to the ground.
I smiled and said, "The child's skull is soft and very elastic. It will be fine if it falls. Which child doesn't fall?"
But my mother came over and hit me gently, "You are so cruel, how can you take care of a child like you?" At this point, she actually started to cry, "My grandson is so pitiful. He has been without a mother since he was a child."
, you are really...wuwu! My little dear, are you still in pain now?"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and actually felt a little painful in my heart. Then I stood up and said to my mother awkwardly: "Mom, I'm going to work."
My mother waved to me and said, "Go ahead. The child was fine, but as soon as you came back, something went wrong. It's true!"
I smiled and left immediately.
Then I went to the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University, where I used to work.
The director of the physical examination center is the former deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, and we are relatively familiar with each other. I asked him to help me register for my parents' physical examination. He was very polite and quickly completed the matter for me. I specially added it for my parents.
A whole-body MRI examination.
Then I paid the fee and left.
I deliberately did not go home for dinner in the evening because I wanted to give my mother a chance to talk to my father alone.
I took a look at the decoration of the restaurant and found that it was already taking shape. To be honest, I am not very interested in this place now because I no longer have the original intention. But things have already progressed to this point.
I can only let it continue, otherwise what else can I do?
Just after I left here, when I was about to go to the admissions site, I received a call from Tong Yao, "Feng Xiao, let me ask you, who is this beauty you sent to my mother? What is her relationship with you?"
I felt that she seemed to be a little lenient about this matter, but then I thought that she might have asked me about it because she cared about me. So I replied: "She is Ruan Jie's sister, and I asked her to come for me."
The one who manages the new restaurant. What’s wrong?”
She then asked me again: "Is she married?"
I felt very tired in my heart, "Are you married? I just met her. Tong Yao, can you please stop being like this? Why do you think that all the women I know have a relationship with me."
She immediately laughed, "Are you angry? I'm just asking you casually. Am I not concerned about you? The incident with the man named Luo from your provincial education committee happened not long ago, and I don't want something like that to happen to you.
By the way, I'm going to my mother's place for dinner right away. Are you free? It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. If you are free, come over and have a meal together. By the way, I heard that you brought the child back?
Can you bring him here for me to see? Feng Xiao, I really want to see what your son looks like. It must be fun, right?"
A feeling of warmth suddenly arose in my heart, "Okay. I'll go back right away and take the child to your mother." (To be continued)
