I am a 30-year-old single mother and my daughter Xiao Ming is 5 years old this year. It's really not easy to be a single mother, working during the day and taking care of Xiao Ming at night. Xiao Ming's father divorced me two years ago, and he didn't care about Xiao Ming at all. I supported this family by myself, and I was living in a very tight situation.
We live in an old neighborhood and the neighbors are mainly middle-aged and elderly. On the opposite side are Uncle Wang and his daughter Xiaohua. Xiaohua is the same age as Xiaoming and often plays in the community. Uncle Wang is in his 40s, not tall, with a somewhat bald head and a beer belly. His wife is long gone, and he is also dependent on Xiaohua.
One day, Uncle Wang came knocking on my door. I opened the door and saw that he was holding 500 yuan in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Girl, I have something to do for a month, can you please help me take care of Xiaohua at night?" I will give you 500 yuan." ”
I was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. 500 dollars is definitely a lot for me, and I really need it. But it is also troublesome to take care of the small flowers for a month.
So I said, "Uncle Wang, if you give me so much money, I won't be happy." Xiaohua can come to our house to eat and play, but you should hire a nanny at night. ”
Uncle Wang's face was a little ugly, and he said, "The nanny is very expensive, more than 2,000 a month." For 500 yuan, you will help me take care of Xiaohua, and she will live with Xiao Ming here, which is very simple. ”
I thought about the family's expenses, as well as my daughter's tuition fees to pay, and after thinking about it again, I still shook my head: "No, Uncle Wang, I'm also very busy, and I have to work at night to earn money to support my family." You'd better be smart. ”
Uncle Wang came back after a month of business trips. He is still the same, and sometimes when he meets me in the community, he will greet me warmly. I didn't care, I went about my life as usual.
One weekend, Uncle Wang knocked on my door again. I opened the door, and before I could say anything, he pushed into the room and said, "May I come in and sit down for a while?" I was a little embarrassed and asked him to sit down in the living room and make two cups of tea by himself.
Uncle Wang casually threw an envelope on the coffee table and said, "Girl, I was really embarrassed last time. I've been thinking a lot outside this month, and I shouldn't have pushed you like that. I was so selfish. ”
I listened to what he said, and I saw that something was wrong with his expression. So he asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this? You don't have to mind what happened last time." ”
Uncle Wang sighed and said, "I was on a business trip last month, and I actually took Xiaohua to the hospital for a check-up. Xiaohua she has leukemia. The doctor said that it could be cured in the early stage, so I was told to keep it a secret and didn't tell anyone else. ”
I was really stunned to hear the news. After thinking about it, it's no wonder that Uncle Wang was so anxious to ask me to help take care of Xiaohua last time. It turned out that Xiaohua was sick.
I nervously asked, "How is Xiaohua being treated now, is the condition serious?"
Uncle Wang said: "The doctor said that if the match can be successful and a bone marrow transplant is done, there is still hope for a cure. But it's not easy to match, and I don't know the whereabouts of Xiaohua's mother. During this time, I took her to the hospital for chemotherapy every day, and the company's work was almost out of work. ”
Hearing this, I really feel sorry for Xiaohua. She was so young, she had such a disease, and her mother still didn't know what to do. Uncle Wang is so busy with work, he has no time to take care of her.
I plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry. I'll take care of the flowers for you. If you are busy with work and don't have time, you can entrust Xiaohua to me. I promise you!"
As soon as Uncle Wang heard what I said, his eyes immediately turned red. He choked up and said, "Thank you so much, girl." I'm a big man, and I can't help but want to cry. We are little flowers, she asks me where my mother is all the time, and I really can't bear to look at her like that. ”
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, I couldn't help but have red circles in my eyes. After a long time, Uncle Wang wiped away his tears, pushed the envelope on the coffee table, and said, "I still give you 500 yuan here, and I am very sorry to help you." ”
I pushed the envelope back and said, "Uncle Wang, this money is nothing to me. For the sake of our neighborhood for so many years, I will take care of Xiaohua unconditionally. Don't worry! We will definitely help Xiaohua heal!"
Since that day, Xiaohua has been eating and living at my house every day. When I got back from work, I started preparing dinner for the two families. Uncle Wang came to visit Xiaohua whenever he had time. Xiaohua has a very introverted personality and is always sullen at first. Later, slowly, I got acquainted with Xiao Ming, and I often made her happy, so she laughed.
I started taking her to the hospital for chemotherapy check-ups, and Uncle Wang continued to work to earn money. My relationship with Xiaohua is also getting better and better, and she often coquettishly plays with me and calls me sister. Before going to bed, she would ask me some sick questions, such as why my hair was falling out, why I couldn't eat delicious food, etc. I will answer her patiently. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaohua has been living in my house for nearly two months. During this time, Uncle Wang was getting busier and busier at work, and sometimes he couldn't go home several times a month. Xiaohua's condition has ups and downs, but her mental state is getting better and better, and she often plays happily with Xiao Ming, giggling.
Until one day, I suddenly received a phone call from the hospital. They told me that Xiaohua had complications that had worsened and that she needed to be hospitalized immediately. I was frightened and hurriedly took Xiaohua to the hospital.
Xiaohua was admitted to the intensive care unit this time. The doctor told me that she had severe pneumonia and that her immune system was very weak, and she was in a very critical condition. I was dumbfounded, and I made countless calls to Uncle Wang, who may have been in a meeting, and he never answered.
At this time, Xiaohua was already unconscious, and even breathing was aided by the machine. I looked at the small figure on the hospital bed, and my heart was like a knife. After an overnight emergency response, the doctor told me that Xiaohua had finally passed the dangerous period. But for the sake of treatment, they have exhausted all their savings for medical expenses.
At this time, the doctor on duty came to convey the critical illness notice, explaining that Xiaohua was in critical condition and needed to have a bone marrow transplant immediately, otherwise her life would be in danger at any time. But the cost of the operation is more than 100,000 yuan, which is far beyond Uncle Wang's affordability.
I saw Uncle Wang's miserable appearance, and my heart was depressed. Thinking of such a cute child as Xiaohua, I couldn't bear to let her go like this. So I walked up to the doctor, trembled and said, "Doctor, I am willing to donate bone marrow, please save Xiaohua!"
When Uncle Wang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He shook my hand and said, "Girl, what should I repay you? If it weren't for you, Xiaohua and I wouldn't have survived today." ”
I burst into tears, too. During this period of time, Xiaohua is like my own daughter to me. I was reluctant to give up treatment no matter what.
After laboratory tests, Xiaohua's bone marrow and I were miraculously matched! The doctor immediately performed a bone marrow transplant for Xiaohua, and we could only wait anxiously at the door of the operating room. I don't know how long it took, but the lights in the operating room finally went out. The doctor came out and smiled at us: "The operation was very successful! Xiaohua is in stable condition and has been transferred to the general ward." "
Hearing the good news, Uncle Wang and I were so excited that we hugged each other and cried. After so many ups and downs, we finally see hope.
Soon, Xiaohua's condition improved significantly. When I went to the ward that day to take care of her, she was already able to get out of bed and walk. Seeing me coming, Xiaohua happily said, "Sister, I miss you so much!"
I hugged her excitedly, and I couldn't help but cry again. Xiaohua held my face and said mischievously, "Sister, why do you always like to cry!
I smiled and nodded, my heart filled with comfort. All these hardships have finally passed, and Xiaohua has renewed hope for life, and I feel extremely relieved.
On the day we were discharged from the hospital, Uncle Wang came to pick us up in his car. He stuffed the trunk of the car to the brim, all of which were Xiaohua's favorite snacks and toys. I smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, is this to raise fat flowers?"
Uncle Wang excitedly picked up the little flower and circled around, and said with a smile: "My good daughter, Dad will buy you whatever you want to eat!"
Back in the community, all the neighbors came to visit Xiaohua when they heard the news. We had a fun party and the neighborhood was buzzing. Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua ran around happily, and happy laughter came and went.
Since then, Uncle Wang has treated me like a relative. Every weekend he would come to my house with an abundance of ingredients and work with me to make food for both families. Xiaohua and Xiaoming were playing at our feet, and the warm picture was deeply imprinted in my heart.
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaohua had returned to school, and Xiao Ming and they went to school with a smile. Spring goes to autumn, and the time of the year passes quickly.
During Xiaohua's recovery, Uncle Wang often opened the skylight and said that he must repay my kindness. I smiled and refused every time. Watching the little flowers grow healthy and happy around us is the best reward for me. Now, it's the end of the year again. This year's winter came exceptionally early and the weather was very cold.
One evening, I went to the kindergarten to pick up Xiao Ming as usual. When I walked to the school gate, I saw Xiaohua waiting for me in a thick cotton jacket from a distance, and when she saw me coming, she happily beckoned: "Sister, you are here!"
I walked over and touched her little face that was red from the cold, and said distressedly, "Xiaohua, why are you here alone, Uncle Wang?" Xiaohua pouted at me and said, "Dad is working overtime, let me come to your house to play." ”
I smiled helplessly and took my two children and walked home. When I got home, I first made them hot brown sugar ginger tea. Little Flower walked around me with a mug in her hand, babbling about interesting things that happened at school.
As I listened, I remembered that when I first met her, she was the shy and introverted little girl. Today's little flower is cheerful, speaks smartly, and is as energetic as other children. My heart was filled with solace, and it seemed that all my efforts had not been in vain.
That evening, I prepared a sumptuous dinner for both families as usual. Uncle Wang worked overtime and didn't get home until 9 p.m. As soon as I pushed the door in, I saw Xiaohua happily sitting at the dining table eating.
Uncle Wang's eyes turned red all of a sudden. He looked at me apologetically and said, "Thank you so much, I really don't know what to do with Xiaohua without you." I quickly comforted him and asked him to sit down and eat as well.
I waved my hand and said, "You don't have to mind that, Xiaohua is my favorite child." As long as you father and daughter are safe and happy, I will be satisfied. ”
I was completely stunned. Uncle Wang is not wealthy, and I am also a working mother. But after more than a year of getting along, I feel his sincerity and reliability. I know that with him, Xiao Ming and I will be happy.
After thinking about it, I blushed and nodded slightly. Uncle Wang shook my hand excitedly, tears of joy in his eyes. At this moment, I know that we will live happily ever after.
Now, Uncle Wang has quit his old job and opened a small restaurant nearby. During the day, I went to work as usual, and he was at home to take care of Xiaohua and Xiaoming.
On weekends, we would go to the restaurant together to help out. Xiao Ming and Hua will hold a small notebook and follow us to keep accounts, or help scrub the dishes and chopsticks. The restaurant is not big, but the business is very good. Regular customers often come here to praise our craftsmanship.
The days went smoothly day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua's birthdays. I discussed with Uncle Wang and decided to take the two little ones to the amusement park for a day.
Early in the morning, we got up early in the morning and drove off. As soon as we arrived at the playground, the children excitedly pulled us to run to various motorized games. Uncle Wang and I looked at their happy smiling faces, and we couldn't help but be infected with their happiness.
"Sister, I'm going to play with a pirate ship!" Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she saw the swaying pirate ship. I smiled and held her hand and lined up in a long line.
The four of us huddled into the small cabin, making Xiaohua and Xiaoming scream as the hull swayed. The way they danced happily became the most beautiful picture in my heart.
After a morning of playing, the little ones are tired. We sat down at the restaurant in the park and ordered a hearty lunch. After eating, Uncle Wang took out the two gift boxes he had prepared and gave Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua their birthdays respectively.
I watched the two girls happily unwrap their gifts, and I couldn't help but redden. Uncle Wang held my hand and said gently, "Girl, thank you for giving us a home. It was all dreamlike, better than any birthday present I could ever have imagined. ”
I smiled and nodded, and also looked affectionately at this little family that I loved so much. No matter what ups and downs you have experienced, happiness is so real now. I know that we will always be there for the days to come.
In this way, between winter and spring, we have gone through two years. Now I have forgotten the misfortunes of the past and live in this warm and happy little home. I am no longer a single mother struggling alone, but a woman who is deeply loved.
There is still a long way to go in life, and I believe that with each other's company and support, we will be able to get through all the storms and usher in a better future.
