Chapter 7 Humanity
"What's wrong?" Su Yue put down the fruit bag in his hand and asked knowingly.
"Just afternoon news broke a news broadcast. An explosion occurred in the workshop where my mother was at 10:40 am, and several people died." Su Xiaoyue's face showed a look of fear, "Fortunately, my mother came to the hospital early, otherwise..."
If her mother had not taken leave because she was sick and was at the center of the accident, she would not even dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
"It's all over, don't worry." Su Yue touched his sister's head and comforted with a smile, "The ancients said, 'If you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune.' My mother passed by the god of death and by chance avoiding the explosion accident. This is a good thing. I believe that our family will become better and better after this ordeal."
"Well, it will definitely get better and better." Su Xiaoyue nodded firmly.
My brother's words are comfort and encouragement.
Comfort her not to worry too much about the burden on her family, and encourage her to be positive, optimistic and cheerful.
"Dad, mom, don't be too sad either." Su Yue looked at his parents with a serious expression and said firmly, "There will always be a solution."
Su's father sighed lightly and said nothing. Su's mother sat in front of her daughter's bed, lowered her head, and carefully peeled the fruits that Su Yue brought back, and didn't know what to say.
For more than two hours, the couple called all the relatives and friends at home.
Everyone expressed sympathy for Su Xiaoyue's illness, but except for a few close relatives who couldn't save face and borrowed several thousand yuan, the rest of the people were all pushing and ignoring the money.
Although the couple has worked in state-owned enterprises for so many years, they really don’t have much money to save.
According to the treatment plan of the attending doctor, they can only last a year or two, and as for the subsequent stem cell transplantation, high surgical fees, and subsequent treatment, they are powerless.
At this moment, money has become the heaviest weight on the balance of life.
"Brother, why have you been there for so long?" In the solemn ward, my sister broke the silence.
Su Xiaoyue took the apple peeled by her mother and gave it to everyone, tilted her head and looked at her brother, "Don't there be anything like fruit at the entrance of the hospital?"
"The things at the entrance of the hospital are expensive and not delicious." Su Yue replied without hesitation, "I went to Changling Fruit Wholesale Market to buy them. Not only are the fruits there delicious, but they are also cheap."
"So far!" Su Xiaoyue looked at her brother with some distress.
"Is it far? It's just a few streets away." Su Yue ate the apple in his hand and tried his best to hide it.
"Xiaoyue, are you? "Su Yue looked down at the time on the watch, "Let's go out for dinner first. After dinner, I will take you to the bookstore to buy a few books. The doctor said that your condition may be a bit serious and you need to rest in the hospital for a few days. In a short period of time, you may not be able to leave the hospital."
"Oh!" Su Xiaoyue listened quietly, without any sadness or loss.
She calmly got off the bed and put on her shoes, looking at the scattered buildings in the distance through the sunny window, and there was a slight dimness in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will be with you." Su Yue said softly as he looked at his sister's thin appearance.
"Brother, don't you still have to go to school to make up for the lessons?" Su Xiaoyue looked at him with a smile, "I've grown up and no longer fear the darkness as before."
Although there was an accident in Huafeng Steel Plant, the operations in the factory will not stagnate for a long time.
After a few days of rest, my parents still have to go to work.
If she wants to continue hospitalization, she may be the only one who stays here alone in a few days. She is actually afraid of staying alone in the hospital, but she doesn't want to show weakness in front of her brother and parents, which will only make them more worried.
"I'm just making up for classes during the day, and I'll come to the hospital to accompany you at night." Su Yue looked at his sister, "Although you have grown up, you still need someone to take care of when you are sick."
Su Xiaoyue was silent for a while and said softly "yes".
The four walked out of the ward and had a simple lunch at a restaurant near the hospital. Then Su Yue took his sister to the bookstore on Changling Commercial Street. Su's mother accompanied Su's father back home, collected her passbook, paid the hospitalization fee, and then paid a large amount of medical expenses in advance.
For preliminary treatment observation, you must be hospitalized, so everyone has prepared everything for Su Xiaoyue.
Although the days in the ward were monotonous, she didn't feel depressed with her brother always with her and the books she liked by the bedside.
On the weekend, Su Yue stayed in the hospital except for going to the Internet cafe to find information related to international copper price trends.
My sister's life is short and helpless. He thought that even if she spends more than one more day, it would be good.
Many of the relatives at home came after their parents' phone calls. They brought fruits, milk or other gifts to visit their sister. While they were saying words of encouragement to their sister, they complained to Su Yue's parents that "the money is getting harder and the conditions at home are getting harder and more difficult."
Su Yue looked at them coldly, knowing what they meant very much.
In fact, he didn't expect these relatives to help, but when they were impatient to say that they had no money to borrow, he still felt a chill.
Sometimes trust in family affection is really not worth money.
My sister was actually quite happy to see these relatives coming and going.
She simply thought that everyone was very enthusiastic, and her uncles and uncles cared about her very much. She bought her a lot of delicious food, but never thought about how much ruthless they hid behind their hypocritical masks.
After seeing these bored relatives away, when the scorching sun became gentle, Su Yue finally welcomed those friends who really care about their family situation and their sister's condition.
"Aunt Bai, Uncle Feng, why are you here?" Su Yue looked at the two people entering the ward and greeted him enthusiastically.
Aunt Bai and Uncle Feng, whom he mentioned, are both their parents' coworkers and their own neighbors. Their children also have a close relationship with Su Yue.
"Xiaoyue is sick, how can we not come and see?" The simple-dressed woman placed the flower basket and fruits she was carrying beside Su Xiaoyue's bed and blamed, "Your parents are too. Xiaoyue is sick, so I wouldn't say anything to your Aunt Bai. If I hadn't heard your second uncle complaining yesterday yesterday, I wouldn't have known."
She casually pulled a chair, sat beside Su Xiaoyue's bed, held Xiaoyue's slender hand, and said gently, "Daughter, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Although leukemia is not a terminal illness, she can understand the heavy weight of ordinary families like the Su family.
"Aunt Bai, Sister Xue, why didn't she come with you?" Su Xiaoyue looked outside the ward and asked expectantly.
"She goes to buy you something, and you will come here later." Aunt Bai looked at the lines in Xiaoyue's palm repeatedly and said softly, "What do you think of Auntie, you are all long-lived..."
"Uncle Feng, sit down!" Su Yue moved a stool and handed it to the burly man standing, and asked, "Jianyong hasn't made you angry recently, right? In fact, he just doesn't know how to express himself, and he is still very filial to you in his heart."
"That kid... it's better not to mention it!" He sat on the stool, reluctant to mention his incompetent son. He was silent for a while, took out a large stack of cash from his pocket, and handed it to Su Yue solemnly, and said, "A Yue, uncle has no ability in his life, and only these can help. Don't dislike him, don't tell your father."
"Uncle Feng, you..." Su Yue shook his head, "It's not easy for you, I can't take your money."
"If you don't accept it, you just look down on your uncle!" He spoke firmly and forced the money into Su Yue's arms. "I have been in love with your father for decades, and Xiaoyue is also what I saw growing up, just like my own daughter. Although the one in my family is not in a good mood, you brother and sister are good. If you can help me, don't worry about me."
In Su Yue's memory, Uncle Feng was a man with a slut, a depressed will and a bad temper.
He was drunk and beat people. Apart from his father, he rarely had any close friends.
In my memory, even if he was Uncle Feng's own son and one of Su Yue's two best friends, Feng Jianyong, when he mentioned his father, he was full of dissatisfaction.
He never thought that Uncle Feng had such a touching side besides that hatred side.
"A Yue, just take it for Yue Yatou. If you don't accept it, you Uncle Feng will never be able to overcome that hurdle." Aunt Bai looked at the stalemate of the two, "This is his wish, don't let it down."
Su Yue let out a light "um" and gritted his teeth to accept the money.
He once again deeply experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings.
Those you think are close to each other are sometimes worn with a veil of hypocrisy; those you think are ugly are sometimes just wearing evil cloaks to protect the softness in your heart.
