After the sister got married, Zhao Xingyu and the eldest brother were left to live with their parents. And Zhao Xingyu, the younger brother, has always played the role of "brother", taking care of his eldest brother in all aspects of life.

Zhao Xingyu's eldest brother's condition is good and bad, and the good time accounts for the majority, because he has been taking medication to control and has not been sick for a long time. In 2006, with the stabilization of his condition and consideration of his later life, Zhao Xingyu's eldest brother married a girl in a neighboring village who reacted slightly slower, "They formed a family for them, and they had a companion and a care for each other." ”

A year later, Zhao Xingyu had a big nephew, at first the family was still worried about whether the child would inherit the father's disease, but after birth, a series of examinations showed that the child was very healthy, and the stone in Zhao Xingyu's heart also fell most of the time, "Even if I can't take care of it later, my brother and son can rely on." After a few years, Zhao Xingyu relied on the money he saved from driving a truck, and he also married and started a family, and gave birth to two daughters successively.

Although the disease is well controlled, Zhao Xingyu's eldest brother is still unable to carry out farm work, and the family's more than two acres of farmland are all taken care of by Zhao Xingyu. The eldest sister-in-law can not do any heavy work, can only wash and cook at home, a family of three only rely on low income to survive, Zhao Xingyu from taking care of the eldest brother to take care of the eldest brother's family, the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

The hope of the first college student in our family may be realized by him. "Now, every weekend, Zhao Xingyu will drive to the town to pick up his eldest nephew and go home for the weekend, and then drive back on Sunday night, rain or shine for more than a year."

Xiao Jun's birth carries the hope of the whole family

Other people's "good uncles in China"

Xiao Jun's sudden premature birth caused the family to fall into panic. Zhao Xingyu's parents are nearly 60 years old, originally the physical condition is average, the eldest brother and sister-in-law can not go to Shijiazhuang, the wife must take care of the elderly and two daughters at home, so the heavy responsibility of accompanying Xiaojun to see a doctor fell on Zhao Xingyu alone.

At first, the medical staff thought that Xiaojun was Zhao Xingyu's son, whether it was going through formalities or communicating with the doctor about the condition, Zhao Xingyu always had to explain "I am his uncle". Every day he was busy, and soon Zhao Xingyu had a nickname of "Good Uncle of China". Even aiyou staff went to the hospital to visit back, talking about Xiao Jun's condition, several doctors and nurses in the neonatology department mentioned, "Is it the little boy who came to see the doctor with the 'good uncle of China'?" ”

Most of Xiaojun's hospitalization time is carefully cared for by medical staff

Due to the complexity of his condition, Xiao Jun was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit as soon as he was admitted to the hospital, and at first Zhao Xingyu could also visit the hospital to follow up on the child's condition. Later, after the sudden severe epidemic in Shijiazhuang, Zhao Xingyu had to return to his home in the countryside, and Xiaojun entrusted himself to the care of medical staff, and the medication and treatment matters were communicated by telephone.

"It doesn't matter how much money you spend, the medicine you should use must be used, and it is important to save your life." Although he has a lot of debt, every time he talks to the doctor, Zhao Xingyu will firmly state his position. "When such a lovely little life comes to our house, I have the responsibility to take good care of him and grow up."

Zhao Xingyu felt that as an uncle, it was indispensable to take care of Xiao Jun

Soon, Zhao Xingyu's advance payment in the hospital was spent, which not only had his own savings, but also borrowed fifty thousand yuan from relatives. If Xiao Jun's treatment wants to continue, he must solve the problem of money. Knowing this situation, the medical staff quickly helped Zhao Xingyu apply for the "Aiyou Morning Star" - a rescue project for children with serious diseases.

Fortunately, Xiao Jun's treatment was very smooth, and when he was hospitalized for nearly 3 months, the main diseases were basically stable, and necrotizing colitis, which generally required surgery, was slowly cured through ordinary treatment.

"Except for a little problem in the lungs that needs a little attention, everything else has recovered!" After 105 days of birth, Xiaojun finally returned home for the first time. In order to take better care of him, Grandma also deliberately stayed here to help, and now Xiaojun is recovering particularly well, and his weight is steadily increasing.
