In the old man Li Ming's ward, Li Fang and Li Qiang sat on the edge of the bed, both of them with worried looks on their faces. The old man Li Ming was lying quietly on the hospital bed, breathing weakly, and there were drips on the back of his hands, and the liquid medicine entered his body drop by drop.
"Dad, how are you feeling?" asked Li Fang softly, with a hint of tremor in her voice.
Li Qiang held his father's hand tightly, his eyes were firm and warm, "Dad, you will definitely get better." ”
Old man Li Ming opened his eyes slightly, his voice was weak and hoarse, "Children, don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”
Li Fang and Li Qiang glanced at each other, and they could both see deep worry in each other's eyes. Li Fang stood up and walked to the window, she looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed deeply, "We have to find a way, we can't let Dad suffer like this." ”
Li Qiang nodded, "Yes, we can't sit idly by. ”
At this time, Li Hua was sitting in the living room of her home, with a piece of paper and a pen in front of her, and she was calculating her savings. Her brow furrowed, and anxiety was written all over her face.
"Mom, how much money can we come up with?" asked Li Hua's son, Xiaojie, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Li Hua looked up at her son, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "Xiaojie, mom can only take out 3,000 yuan." ”
Xiaojie's face showed a look of disappointment, "Mom, how is this enough? Grandpa's medical expenses must be more than that." ”
Li Hua sighed, "I know, but you also know the situation of our family, I really can't come up with more money." ”
Xiaojie lowered his head, his heart was full of guilt and powerlessness. He knew that his mother had done her best, but he still felt that it was not enough.
On the other side of the hospital, Li Fang and Li Qiang were discussing countermeasures. "Let's pay 20,000 yuan each, so that at least it can relieve the pressure of Dad's medical expenses. Li Fang said.
Li Qiang nodded, "Okay, I agree." ”
There was a determined glint in both men's eyes, and they knew it was the only thing they could do.
And at Li Hua's house, Xiaojie suddenly stood up, "Mom, I have an idea." ”
Li Hua raised her head, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, "What idea?"
Xiaojie's face showed a hint of determination, "I can go to work and earn some money to help grandpa." ”
A hint of emotion flashed in Li Hua's eyes, "Xiaojie, are you really willing?"
Xiaojie nodded, "Of course, grandpa is also my family, and I should do my part." ”
A warm current surged in Li Hua's heart, and she knew that no matter what the result was, their family's hearts were always connected.
Xiaojie's words made Li Hua feel warm in her heart, but at the same time, it also made her more anxious. She knew that although her son's intentions were good, far water could not quench his thirst. Li Hua dialed Li Fang and Li Qiang's phone, and the three of them made an appointment to meet in the hospital café.
In the café, the three of them sat around a table, and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Li Fang spoke first: "Dad's condition is more serious than we thought, and we need more funds to support treatment." ”
Li Qiang then said: "I discussed with Fangfang, and we will each contribute 20,000 yuan, hoping to help my father tide over the difficulties." ”
Li Hua's face was a little ugly, and she bowed her head and said nothing. Li Fang noticed her sister's abnormality and asked softly, "Huahua, what's wrong with you?"
Li Hua sighed and said with difficulty: "I...... I could only come up with 3,000 yuan. I know it's not enough, but I ......"
Li Fang and Li Qiang glanced at each other, and there was a hint of complexity in their eyes. Li Fang held Li Hua's hand and comforted: "Huahua, we all know your intentions, you have done your best." ”
Li Qiang also nodded: "Yes, Huahua, we won't blame you." ”
A trace of tears flashed in Li Hua's eyes, and she looked at her two brothers and sisters gratefully, but her heart was mixed. She knows that her financial situation has always been a sensitive topic in her family, and she doesn't want to be a burden on her family.
The conversation between the three attracted the attention of those around them, and some whispers began to spread in the café. Li Fang and Li Qiang's generosity contrasted sharply with Li Hua's powerlessness, which made Li Hua feel even more embarrassed.
Li Fang noticed the gaze around her, she stood up and said to Li Hua and Li Qiang, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk." ”
The three of them walked out of the café together and returned to the old man Li Ming's ward. Old man Li Ming seemed to notice the children's mood changes, and he asked weakly, "Children, what happened?"
Li Fang and Li Qiang glanced at each other, they didn't know how to explain it to their father. Li Hua walked to the side of the bed, held Li Ming's hand, tears rolled in his eyes: "Dad, I'm sorry, I ......"
Old man Li Ming patted Li Hua's hand gently, although his voice was weak, it was full of warmth and understanding: "Huahua, don't blame yourself. You are all good boys of Daddy, and Daddy is proud of you. ”
Li Hua's tears finally couldn't help flowing, she hugged the old man Li Ming tightly, and couldn't cry. Li Fang and Li Qiang also had red eyes, they knew that no matter what happened, they were a family and would face difficulties together and bear them together.
Outside the old man Li Ming's hospital room, Li Fang and Li Qiang stood in the corridor, both of them with worries on their faces. Li Fang held a hospital bill tightly in her hand, and her voice trembled a little: "Brother Qiang, this medical fee is more than we expected, and our savings may not be enough." ”
Li Qiang frowned, he took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "No matter what, we must find a way." Dad has worked hard all his life, and we can't let him suffer at this time. ”
Li Fang nodded, a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes: "I agree, let's pay 20,000 each." ”
At this time, Li Hua was sitting in the living room of her home, and there were a bunch of bills and calculators on the table in front of her. Her brow furrowed, her fingers darting across the calculator. Xiaojie walked over and asked softly, "Mom, how is it?"
Li Hua sighed, her voice was helpless: "Xiaojie, mom can only take out 3,000 yuan." I know it's not enough, but you know what happened in our family. ”
A trace of anxiety flashed in Xiaojie's eyes, but he still comforted his mother: "Mom, it's okay, we all tried our best." Grandpa will understand. ”
A warm current surged in Li Hua's heart, and she looked at her son gratefully, but her heart was full of mixed feelings. She knows that her financial situation has always been a sensitive topic in her family, and she doesn't want to be a burden on her family.
The next day, in the café of the hospital, Li Fang, Li Qiang and Li Hua sat together. Li Fang was the first to break the silence: "Huahua, we know your situation, you don't need to feel guilty. ”
Li Qiang also nodded: "Yes, Huahua, we are a family, and we should face difficulties together." ”
A trace of tears flashed in Li Hua's eyes, and her voice was choked: "Thank you, I really appreciate it." ”
The conversation between the three attracted the attention of those around them, and some whispers began to spread in the café. Li Fang noticed the gaze around her, she stood up and said to Li Hua and Li Qiang, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk." ”
The three of them walked out of the café together and returned to the old man Li Ming's ward. Old man Li Ming seemed to notice the children's mood changes, and he asked weakly, "Children, what happened?"
Li Fang and Li Qiang glanced at each other, they didn't know how to explain it to their father. Li Hua walked to the side of the bed, held Li Ming's hand, tears rolled in his eyes: "Dad, I'm sorry, I ......"
Old man Li Ming patted Li Hua's hand gently, although his voice was weak, it was full of warmth and understanding: "Huahua, don't blame yourself. You are all good boys of Daddy, and Daddy is proud of you. ”
Li Hua's tears finally couldn't help flowing, she hugged the old man Li Ming tightly, and couldn't cry. Li Fang and Li Qiang also had red eyes, they knew that no matter what happened, they were a family and would face difficulties together and bear them together.
In the ward of the old man Li Ming, the family sat around the bedside, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn. Li Fang held his father's hand and whispered, "Dad, no matter what happens, we are all a family, and we will face it together." ”
Li Qiang also nodded, his eyes firm: "Yes, Dad, we will always be here." ”
Li Hua's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked with a hint of choking: "Dad, although I can't take out more money, my heart is the same as my brother and sister, we all hope that you can get better soon." ”
A smile of comfort appeared on the face of the old man Li Ming, and although his voice was weak, it was full of strength: "Children, I know your intentions, and I am grateful. Your unity in this way is the best gift to me. ”
Li Fang and Li Qiang looked at each other and smiled, they knew that their father's understanding and support was their greatest motivation. Li Hua also burst into tears and laughed, she felt an unprecedented ease and warmth.
A few days later, Li Ming's condition improved significantly, and the doctor told them that they could prepare to be discharged. The family was thrilled to hear the news. Li Fang and Li Qiang were busy going through the discharge procedures, while Li Hua was helping to pack up their things.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, the sun was shining, and the family walked out of the hospital with the old man Li Ming. Li Fang supported her father, Li Qiang and Li Hua followed behind, they talked and laughed, full of hope and expectation for the future.
Back at home, the old man Li Ming sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the busy children, his face was full of happy smiles. He knows that no matter what the future holds, he has a group of family members who love him, and they will always be together and face the ups and downs of life together.
