With the passing of a life, the family that had been so fulfilled was broken again— for 27 years, the family had come through the cracks and seams. Due to liver and gallbladder disease, the sister accompanied her brother through the last 4 months of his life, the brother "traveled" peacefully with hope, and the sister "picked up" the family again. These are the brothers and sisters Of Fan Yuxue and Fan Caixiang in Baocun, Zhen'an Town, Longling County, Baoshan City.
What can a 3-year-old girl remember? No dad. That year, in Fan Caixiang's impression, there was such a person named "Daddy", and he quickly disappeared because he died, at the age of 39. Since then, Fan Caixiang and her brother Fan Yuxue have secretly watched their friends playing in the arms of their parents. Originally, the brothers and sisters also had a happy family, with grandparents and parents, but the grandfather and father died one after another as the pillars of the family, and the carefree childhood was too short; what can an 8-year-old girl remember? The mother remarried, and the grandmother was blind. Since then, Fan Caixiang and her brother Fan Yuxue have slowly grown up under the pull of an elderly, blind grandmother; what can a 13-year-old girl remember? Grandma died, completely out of dependence. My brother was 15 years old, and he dropped out of school three years ago to go home to help his grandmother take care of the housework, go out to work, and help his sister continue to go to school. The younger sister understood in her heart why her brother dropped out of school, and could not bear to see her brother working hard, she also dropped out of school like her brother and went home to help her brother support the broken family. The brother did not agree to the sister dropping out of school, and the brothers and sisters also quarreled and cried for this. The brothers and sisters gradually grew up in mutual pain, and after Fan Yuxue sent his sister to marry, he also married his wife, Zhou Zaixiang, who was deaf and disabled. With the help of the national poverty alleviation policy and the support of his sister, his brother spent all his savings on building a house, and since then, the Fan family has bid farewell to the history of living in dangerous houses.
Time flies, and in December 2021, the children of both brothers and sisters have gone to elementary school and junior high school. The younger sister's family went from Baoshan to Jiangsu to work and settle down, stabilized, and had a place; the brother's family with honesty and trustworthiness and excellent mud and water technology, life is on the right track, a pair of children are obedient, learning and progress. One day in December, my sister suddenly received a message from Zhenbao's hometown: my brother was seriously ill and admitted to the county hospital. A bolt from the blue! Fan Caixiang held the phone for half a day, and suddenly shouted: "You must heal him, don't think about the problem of money!" If you can't do it, transfer to the hospital! "The county hospital diagnosed a hepatobiliary disease, and it has become seriously cancerous, and it is recommended to transfer to the city hospital." The next day, the younger sister left her family and took a direct plane from Jiangsu to Baoshan to the city hospital to see her brother - skinny, skinny bones, sunken eyes, sluggish eyes... My sister was surprised, silent, frightened, and full of mixed feelings: Is this still the sunshine boy who played pranks when he was a child, hung his school bag around his neck with his friends, and then laughed and ran wildly all the way? Is this still the brother who is strict with himself and pampered? Is this still the man who has passed the technical pass, worked steadily, and won the praise of the villagers..." I have advised you to drink less, but you have not heard it once, I believe it is a misdiagnosis." My sister muttered with tears in her eyes. Don't be sad, just live in the hospital, let's go home together. The brother woke up suddenly, and the first words were to comfort the younger sister. No one told him the results of the diagnosis, and he thought his sister was just generally upset. The sister was not reconciled, and after consulting the doctor's advice, she flew to Kunming Cancer Hospital with her brother alone. Afraid that his brother was sensitive to the word "tumor", he also lost no time in calming down and saying that he was just doing further examination. During the examination, the sister was inseparable from her brother, even if it was the gap between his smoking in the smoking area. The first night was sleepless, physically and mentally exhausted, and the next day while waiting for the results, she fell asleep next to the flower table in the hospital... The diagnosis didn't change, and it made her more aware that it was late, chemotherapy was meaningless, and hospitalization was worthless. She forced a smile on her face, continued to tell her brother a white lie, and took medicine and disappointment to bring him back to the small home that was familiar with Zhenbao Village. "One more person knows a little more pain." Sister Fan Caixiang told herself this. She told her husband Zhao Youxuan the results of the diagnosis alone, and has been hiding her sister-in-law and niece and nephew, Fan Yuxue's third-grade daughter and sixth-grade primary school son.
The Zhenbao Village Committee saw the diagnosis certificate, and after understanding the facts, it gave Fan Yuxue's family of four to win a minimum guarantee. Fan Yuxue's condition recurred, the most severe of which was pain to hemoptysis and shock. Fan Caixiang still couldn't leave, let her sister-in-law cooperate with her to take care of her brother, take him to needles, take medicine, eat and live. After settling down with her parents and children in Jiangsu, her husband Zhao Youxuan also returned to Zhenbao Village to help. During the spring ploughing preparation period, the couple took their brother to the big and small hospitals for treatment to relieve pain, and the other got up early to help the brother's family to engage in production and take care of housework. "Plant the corn, wait until the condition is stable, let him go back to Jiangsu first, and I will stay and take care of my brother." Fan Caixiang planned it this way. Spring ploughing was ready, and the house was well organized, but the night before the Qingming Festival, my brother closed his eyes forever. The sister had no tears, only silent blessings: "There is no pain over there!" "She and her husband's time to go out to work was postponed. After quietly taking care of the aftermath, she went to the town alone to do the deregistration procedures for her brother, and cried bitterly in the corner alone: When is the end of the round and broken home? No one saw her tears, and after the Gu Rain Festival, she and her husband were seen in the cornfield of her brother's house and the construction site of the bathing room for her brother's family.
The village group and the cadres stationed in the village, the person responsible for helping and supporting them, and the caring people went to their homes to understand the situation and strive for a student assistance project for a pair of children of Fan Yuxue. "We want to read!" The two children sobbed and said firmly. Fan Caixiang and her husband expressed gratitude and were encouraged. They said: "We also have family burdens, but no matter what, we must educate our nieces and nephews to become talents, and we must be worthy of my brother." "What can a 40-year-old woman remember? Fan Caixiang's answer is: liver and gallbladder take care of brothers and sisters, and sewing and patching is home. You, me, his home, the home of the kingdom.
