I can't remember the first time I've sat outside the operating room and waited anxiously. When I hurried to the hospital, I saw that my mother had been pushed into the operating room, her face was pale, she didn't even have the strength to say goodbye, she just squeezed out a forced smile at me. My heart was a mess, both self-reproachful and anxious, and at the same time full of resentment towards my eldest brother.
I remember a month ago, my mother started coughing frequently and she didn't have much appetite for food. I advised her to go to the hospital for a check-up, but she just smiled and said that it was okay, maybe it was just a cold and cold, so she didn't take it to heart. I didn't pay much attention to it until last week when she coughed up and coughed up blood, and I rushed to the hospital with her on my shoulders.
I called my eldest brother Xiao Ming and begged him to go home to help. But he refused on the grounds that he was busy with work.
Mom is in such a critical situation, can't you take a leave of absence and come back?I said anxiously.
Brother, my project is in full swing, how can I go casually. He said confidently on the other end of the **.
But the doctor said that surgery must be performed immediately, otherwise the condition will be more serious. ”
However, the eldest brother's answer was still "I'm sorry, brother, it's inconvenient for me right now." Let's find another way to hold out for a few days, and I'll rush back when I'm done with my work. ”
I know that my eldest brother is really busy at work, and he sometimes works overtime and only comes home once a month. But at this time, I still shirk it like this, and I feel very uncomfortable.
Just when I was anxious and angry, the red light in the operating room suddenly went out and the doctor walked out. I rushed forward, and the doctor told me that the tumor was relatively hidden and the operation was complicated, but finally all the tumor was removed. I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked my mother how she was doing. The doctor said that my mother had lost a lot of blood and was very weak and needed to be observed.
I've already told you, I can't get out of the company's affairs during this period, and I really can't go back!The eldest brother's tone also became serious, "You can't think of another way?"Use all your mother's previous savings, and you can also work to earn some money, so you can survive this period first. ”
It's a pity that all my mother's savings and all my current money are far from enough to pay such a high fee. My voice choked, "Mom is here now, and her condition is critical, are you just watching her die?"”
Are you so ruthless!I couldn't help but say out loud, "I don't have any choice anymore, are you a son just watching your mother die?"”
I'm going to have a hard time doing it!The company told me to go back to the meeting right away, and you can find a way to contact me. After the eldest brother finished speaking, he hung up directly**.
I wanted to beat him up and get angry. I know he's busy with work, but it's unacceptable to me that he pushes back and pushes back at critical moments, and his tone is so reasonable.
I sat outside the room with red eyes, and my mother was still lying in it dying. I couldn't muster up the energy to look at her again, and I just felt like a knife in my heart.
At this time, a thought flashed through my mind: sell the old house!
I can buy your house for 2.7 million, and I can trade it right away. Mr. Lin said straight to the point.
"Let's think about it," said Mr. Lim, "and the current trend in housing prices is not optimistic, and it may be even more difficult to sell for a good price if it drags on." I will pay 2.7 million, which can be paid immediately, so that you can use the funds as soon as possible. ”
I hesitated, 2.7 million was already a lot of money for me. But selling this house meant that I lost my mother's most beloved home, and I don't know if she will understand my decision after she leaves.
It's important to see the right time, this ** I only open this day. Seeing that I was still hesitating, Mr. Lin urged.
Time was pressing, and I had no choice but to nod: "Okay, just press your ** deal." ”
So we quickly signed a contract for the sale of the house, and Mr. Lin immediately paid the deposit. Although I was reluctant in my heart, I let go of my prejudices when I thought that I could cure my mother's illness.
After signing the contract, I hurried back to the hospital. As soon as I entered the ward, I saw the doctor standing in front of my mother's bed, his face serious.
The condition is not good, the patient is too weak to continue surgery to remove the remaining cancer cells, but in the case of unstable physical condition, the risk is high. The doctor said.
My heart tightened, and I quickly asked, "Is there any other way?"”
The doctor shook his head: "Removing the cancer cells is a top priority, and the slightest delay will worsen the disease." However, in the current physical state, the success rate of surgery is not high. ”
I felt desperate, but more than that, I blamed myself. If the condition could have been discovered earlier, maybe my mother would not have been so critical.
You think twice. The doctor patted me on the shoulder, "Make a decision as soon as possible, and I'll go and get ready for surgery." ”
I know I'm making a fool of myself. At this moment, the only thing I can do is wait for a painful outcome.
Brother, I'm sorry, I'm late. "My eldest brother looked at my mother and me with a tired expression.
I opened my mouth, ten thousand words blocked in my throat, and finally threw myself into my eldest brother's arms and cried loudly.
Maybe it's still too late, I thought to myself. Our brothers and I want to accompany my mother through this difficult time!
I cried for a while, and my eldest brother kept patting me on the back to comfort me. When my mood gradually stabilized, my eldest brother's face was also apologetic.
I'm sorry, brother, I was so busy a few days ago that I didn't have time to go home to see my mother. The eldest brother blamed himself and said, "I shouldn't have done that to you, it's really not easy for you to bear such a lot of pressure alone." ”
I nodded, and most of the resentment in my heart dissipated. I'm glad my eldest brother can come back at this time to make a difference.
The doctor said that my mother was weak and needed another operation, but it was very risky. "I explained the situation to my eldest brother.
Great!I hugged my eldest brother excitedly, "Thank you for coming back, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
We are brothers, but also mother's sons, and we should care for each other and support each other. Big brother patted me on the shoulder.
Mom was finally able to get out of the dangerous period, and my brothers and I began to take turns taking care of her daily life. Mom's body is still very weak, but her spirit has gradually improved. One day, she suddenly asked me, "Is our old house still there?"”
Silly boy, I don't want to sell my old house for this. Mom whispered.
The most important thing is for you to take care of your body quickly, I can buy another house, but I can't lose you. I clenched my mother's hand and said.
Mom was silent, and I knew she must miss the old house. After a while, my mother suddenly said: "Actually, I'm old, where to live or not, family reunion is the most important thing." Seeing that you two brothers have such a good relationship, I am satisfied. ”
My eldest brother and I looked at each other and smiled, and we both saw the tears in each other's eyes.
Hearing my mother's words, the mustard in my heart disappeared completely. I know that for my mother, the company of my children is far more important than the house.
It turns out that the reason why the eldest brother doesn't take good care of his mother also has his own difficulties. He has been in business for many years, and his business is finally picking up, and if he takes a long vacation at this critical time, the company's plans may be preempted by competitors. I used to only care about my own plight and didn't put myself in my big brother's shoes.
