The years have passed, don’t forget the passing years

After so many years, it should be a good time and beautiful scenery. Time passes quickly, but time should be remembered forever.

"No, surgery is necessary! Even if I stop studying and go to work, I must borrow money..." The boy's cry came from the quiet interview room, and tears accompanied by sobs fell from the boy. Eye sockets popped out.

The boy’s name is Wu Haowu, and he is a sensible but stubborn young man. Growing up in a rural area, his family was poor. He experienced the ups and downs of daily necessities from a young age, making him wiser and more mature than his peers. Wu Haowu's academic performance has been very good since he was a child, and he has always been loved by teachers. He was one of the few in the village who was admitted to the county's key high school. Neighbors always compare him with their own children, but Wu Haowu doesn't like it very much because adults will more or less mention his family background when talking about him, which he resents.

Wu Haowu’s family is not happy. My father, Wu Wenchao, actually knows how to do many things and does them very well. Many people praise him. When he was young, his mother fell in love with him because he was good at things. My mother is an honest person, hard-working and kind-hearted, and treats everyone well. She suffers hardships and suffers losses silently. But ever since Wu Haowu could remember, he had a very bad impression of his father. Not only did he not do anything to make money, but he also indulged in playing cards every day and was a heavy smoker. Every time he came back after losing money, he would quarrel, throw things, and even hit people. His mother would often hide in a corner and cry alone. Wu Haowu would also say a few words to his father when he saw her, but he would inevitably get a physical beating.

Wu Haowu hated his father from the bottom of his heart. He hated his father for failing to give him a happy family. He hated his father for not making money to support the family but neglecting his family. He hated his father for hurting his mother again and again, leaving her to cry alone... But Wu Haowu felt sorry for his mother. My mother is very pitiful and has never had a few good days in her life. He would always comfort his mother when she was sad: "Mom, I will study hard so that you can live a good life in the future, let you live in a big house, buy new clothes, and take you to travel everywhere..." Many children probably follow their mother. Although Wu Haowu's mother has said this, she will be very happy every time she hears it, because Wu Haowu is a thought of hers and gives her hope in life.

This kind of life did not improve until Wu Haowu graduated from junior high school. On the one hand, my father has been criticized from many aspects for many years and has been pressured to go out to work to earn money. On the other hand, he is approaching fifty and the family burden has become increasingly serious. Of course, another important reason is that Wu Haowu was admitted to the county's key high school. , which can be regarded as bringing glory to him. There was a long vacation after the high school entrance examination. Wu Haowu helped his mother with some things at home, while his father went to work at a construction site in Hainan. Things seemed to be moving in a good direction, but with only about twenty days left in the summer vacation, Wu Haowu felt uncomfortable for several days in a row, his eyes were swollen and he couldn't eat. At first, he thought he had a cold and took a few injections, but it didn't work. It wasn't until Wu Haowu's aunt came to see him that he insisted that Wu Haowu's sister Wu Rong send him to the hospital for a check-up.

Life likes to joke and catch people off guard. Everything happened so suddenly, and everyone felt heavy when the test results came out - nephrotic syndrome. Wu Haowu's uncle died of uremia. The doctor told Wu Haowu's sister that if nephrotic syndrome is not controlled repeatedly, it may evolve into uremia. At that time, Wu Haowu didn't know what this meant, and he unconsciously said: "Then can I still go to school?" "You should cure the disease first. Your disease is easy to relapse. It is best to take a year off from school to recuperate." "The doctor replied simply. Wu Haowu was stunned on the spot and was speechless for a long time. He has just been admitted to the county's key high school. He has dreamed countless times of stepping into the beautiful campus, meeting many new classmates, setting sail there, and then being admitted to a key university...

Because treatment requires a sum of money Wu Wenchao, who was still at the construction site at the time, received a call from Wu Rong, put down his tools, went directly to his boss to ask for his salary, bought a ticket and rushed back from Hainan overnight. It was already late at night when we arrived at the hospital. Wu Haowu vaguely heard his father and sister talking. After a brief cleaning up, his sister went home, because at this time Wu Rong was in love with a boy from the village and was getting married.

Wu Wenchao looked at his son lying on the hospital bed, held Wu Haowu's hand, and sighed, what a trick of fate! Wu Wenchao was very tired due to the long and overnight drive. He lay down beside his son's bed and fell asleep. Soon he started snoring. But he seemed to be aware of it, and he deliberately suppressed his snoring in a vague way, for fear of disturbing his son and the patient next to him.

During the period of Wu Haowu's treatment, Wu Wenchao was always taking care of her. Because her mother had no physical strength for unknown reasons, and the hospital was also very boring, she was allowed to rest at home. My sister Wu Rong always felt like vomiting when she went to the hospital, so she only came to visit occasionally. Later, Wu Haowu realized that her sister was unhappy. As before, Wu Haowu and his father rarely talked. During the day, they just watched the intravenous drip. At meal time, Wu Wenchao asked Wu Haowu what he wanted to eat. Although many things are inedible, Wu Wenchao will try his best to satisfy Wu Haowu every time he wants to eat. Wu Wenchao's cooking is delicious, and Wu Haowu also likes to eat it, but his father rarely cooks. At night, Wu Wenchao made a bed next to his son's hospital bed, because sometimes he had to give injections until one or two in the morning.

Father and son spoke very little. During this time in the hospital, the bored Wu Wenchao did not play cards and rarely smoked. Because Wu Haowu particularly disliked the smell of cigarettes, he could only go to the toilet or outside the corridor to take a few puffs. Wu Haowu, who had been lying in the hospital for more than ten days, was in a bad mood. The torture of the illness made him start to complain, saying that he felt uncomfortable here and there was pain there, so Wu Wenchao helped him rub it. Wu Haowu thought that the recent meals were not tasty, had no salt, and no chili pepper, but what could be done? This was what the doctor told him. Wu Haowu started to have a willful temper, and Wu Wenchao finally got angry and rushed out of the hospital at twelve o'clock in the night.

"Even if I die, I won't care about you!"

Wu Wenchao broke through the door and left the dumbfounded Wu Haowu staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Wu Wenchao came the next day. Although both of them were a little angry, they remained silent as before. At night, Wu Haowu felt uncomfortable because of the accumulation of fluid in his abdomen, so Wu Wenchao decided to take him out of the ward for a walk. Wu Wenchao helped Wu Haowu out of the hospital and went to a nearby fruit shop to buy some fruit. When he came back, Wu Haowu was so uncomfortable that he couldn't walk.

"Come up, I'll carry you!" Wu Wenchao bent down and said. Wu Haowu was stunned for a moment and lay on his father's back. This feeling only happened many years ago, and Wu Haowu had forgotten it. .

?Wu Haowu was discharged from the hospital smoothly. During this month, Wu Wenchao's meticulous care eased the relationship between father and son, and Wu Haowu also began to feel that his father was not as hateful as he thought.

Because Wu Haowu insisted on going to school, his family couldn't help but he finally agreed. However, he became a medicine jar and brought a large bag of medicine to school. Not long after school started, my sister Wu Rong got married, and there was a lot of beef left at the banquet. Because Wu Haowu loved beef the most, her sister left a big box for him to send to school. As a result, Wu Haowu went to the hospital for a review and his condition recurred. The doctor said that I must take a year off from school, otherwise I will bear the consequences. Of course, this time Wu Haowu realized the seriousness of the problem and agreed to take a break from school and go home to recuperate.

One year passed quickly. In a nearly desolate year, Wu Haowu did almost nothing, but his condition was stabilized. School started again, and Wu Haowu reported to school. The Academic Affairs Office arranged for transfer students, but some teachers were unwilling to accept transfer students and declined politely for various reasons. Finally, a teacher agreed, and that was the mentor Wu Haowu was most grateful for later - He Ganxiang. Everyone affectionately called him "He Si". He asked Wu Haowu how his current condition was and asked Wu Haowu to report directly after completing the procedures. .

He Si had a special talk with Wu Haowu and asked about many things, including his illness and family conditions. Later, He Si called Wu Haowu to the office and told him that the school had five funding places, and caring people from society would help poor students with excellent academic performance to complete three years of high school. He Si was the first to think of Wu Haowu, and tried his best to get this place for him, encouraging him to study hard. He Da talked about what happened when he was a child. His family was also very poor and suffered a lot. His brothers could not afford to go to school. He was the youngest, so he finished college.

But the relatives also gave very vague answers, because everyone knew the situation of the Wu family, and they didn't know when the money would be repaid after they lent it.

Wu Wenchao borrowed money everywhere, and finally borrowed almost 30,000 yuan from several friends and neighbors. Wu Rong and Wu Rong took Wu Haowu's mother to the cancer hospital. The doctor conducted a comprehensive examination on Wu's mother and concluded that it was an intracranial space-occupying lesion. The doctor told Wu Wenchao and his daughter about the risks of surgery and the possible postoperative complications. It was up to the family members to decide whether to have surgery. This time Wu Wenchao called Wu Haowu and handed over the decision-making power to Wu Haowu, asking him to take leave tomorrow and come to the cancer hospital. The doctor would tell him his mother's condition in person.

It was already late March in the Gregorian calendar. The campus was full of pink cherry blossoms, their fragrance filled the air, a breeze blew by, and the fallen flowers were in full bloom. It was a beautiful scenery, but Wu Haowu didn't have any intention to appreciate it. Wu Haowu ran out of the campus worriedly with the written note and got on the bus to the Provincial Cancer Hospital. Along the way, Wu Haowu was distracted and thinking about some strange things. He tried not to think about the bad things, but even so, tears fell involuntarily like raindrops. Wu Haowu wiped away his tears and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he would see his mother later and he should not let her see him like this, otherwise she would be sad too.

After arriving at the Provincial Cancer Hospital, the doctor called the family members to the consultation room. The doctor told Wu Haowu that the tumor had grown to the position of the cerebellar nerve, and the possibility of clean removal was very low and the risk was very high. However, it can be cut as cleanly as possible, and if it is really not possible, postoperative chemotherapy can be used. But even so, there may be some sequelae after surgery, such as facial paralysis, difficulty eating, and even the inability to take care of yourself. However, if the operation is unsuccessful, you may not be able to walk off the operating table alive. The doctor told them all the possible situations and said that if he did not undergo surgery, he might live for half a year to a year. If he had surgery, the family would have to bear the consequences of the above situation.

After the doctor finished speaking, Wu Haowu had tears and snot flowing down his nose. Wu Rong told Wu Haowu, "The risk of surgery is too great. If the surgery fails, my mother may die like this, and hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost. It is better not to have surgery and use the money to make my mother happy until the end." Days." Wu Haowu roared at Wu Rong: "Nothing will happen!" Wu Rong also became excited, "Do you think I don't want to treat it? Have you considered my father's feelings? Can you borrow money? If something happens, will you be responsible? If I have to pee in the future, will you take care of me?" Sister Both brothers began to sob. Wu Wenchao didn't say a word, he just sat there as if he was stupid.

"No, surgery is necessary! Even if I stop studying and go to work, I still have to borrow money..." Wu Haowu cried bitterly. This was the first time that he was so persistent and could not tolerate anyone's objection.

Wu Haowu insisted on surgery, but Wu Rong did not agree to surgery. Many relatives also hold the same position as Wu Rong, because the risk is too great, and even Wu's mother's family does not support the surgery. The direct consequence of this is that relatives are unwilling to borrow money. First, they are afraid that the money will sink to the bottom, and second, they are afraid that the Wu family will not be able to repay it. Even the uncle who opened a factory in Jiangsu only contributed 5,000 yuan on the grounds that the company was unable to turn around. The aunt also followed suit and said she had just bought a house and had no money on hand to pay the down payment, so she only contributed 5,000 yuan. My sister-in-law, who has been in business for many years, has a pretty good family background, but she has invested all her money in the decoration of her new house and cannot get out the money. Fortunately, her sister-in-law, who is usually very economical, was willing to lend her 20,000 yuan this time. Wu Wenchao called his relatives one by one, but was still declined for various reasons. This time, Wu Wenchao finally couldn't help but cry in the corner of the corridor after suppressing his emotions for a long time.

Sure enough, only in the most difficult times can people see clearly who is sincere and who is fake. Life is so realistic, so many people are defeated by life and fall into sinking and regret; while some people rise up to resist and do not bow to fate. Wu Haowu has been pleading with his father to find a way to save his mother. He really hopes that he can borrow a sum of money, even if he does not go to school to work, he must raise the surgery expenses. But how could his mother afford to wait for him to go work and earn money?

"Son, it's not that my father is dead, it's that I really can't borrow money!" Wu Wenchao said in a trembling cry, feeling helpless in addition to helplessness.

"I'm here to borrow money, I'm here to borrow, I must give my mother an operation..."

Wu Haowu suddenly had an idea, for his mother, even if it is one ten thousandth Hope cannot be given up. Wu Haowu remembers that Aunt Cai, a caring person who previously sponsored his tuition, left contact information for five sponsored students. The contact information was stored in Wu Wenchao's mobile phone and he sent blessing text messages several times during holidays. He wanted to borrow money from Aunt Cai, but unilaterally borrowing money from caring people was not allowed by the school. Although they had only met once before, he might not be able to recognize Aunt Cai even if she stood in front of him again. Wu Haowu couldn't care less, so he picked up his cell phone and dialed Aunt Cai's number.

"Hello?" The call was connected.

Wu Haowu's heart was beating hard. He stuttered and sobbed: "Hey, Aunt Cai, I am Wu Haowu, a student you sponsored before..."

"Oh, it's you, I remember, what's wrong?" the other end of the phone asked with concern.

"Aunt Cai, I am really desperate, so..." Wu Haowu burst into tears.

"Don't cry yet. Tell me what happened."

"My mother has a brain tumor and the surgery will cost a lot of money, but we can't borrow it now." It's so much money, can you help me?" Wu Haowu cried harder and harder, not knowing whether what he said was clear.

"How much more money do you need?"

"Thirty to forty thousand..."

"Where is your mother now? I'll come over this afternoon to take a look."

"Provincial Cancer Hospital".

"Okay, I'll come over in the afternoon. Don't worry, take care of yourself."

Wu Haowu hung up the phone and stood at the end of the corridor, looking out the window at a gloomy and scary sight. The sky took a breath. On the road across from the fourteenth floor, cars and people were still coming and going, as if nothing had happened.

After Aunt Cai answered the phone, she immediately called Wu Haowu’s high school teacher, He Si, to confirm whether it was true. He Si had already roughly understood the situation when Wu Haowu asked for leave, so He Si vouched for Wu Haowu. Confirm that the situation is true.

Wu Haowu felt a little more relaxed after calling Aunt Cai, but he was still very nervous. He thought to himself, Aunt Cai had already funded his tuition, why should she lend him so much money? Besides, they only met him once, and they were not familiar with his character. Moreover, once they borrowed the money, they didn't know when they would be able to pay it back... Wu Haowu held the phone, his palms already soaked with sweat. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the cell phone rang suddenly. Wu Haowu's nerves were so tense that he almost stopped holding the phone.

"Hey, Haowu. I've arrived at the cancer hospital. Which ward is your mother in?"

"Fourteenth floor, oncology department, bed 32. I'll pick you up. ."

Wu Haowu stood at the elevator door, waiting for the unfamiliar figure. The elevator door opened, and many people walked out one after another, most of them family members of the patients or visitors.

"Haowu?"

Wu Haowu was stunned for a moment and found a middle-aged woman with long hair standing next to him. He immediately realized that this must be Aunt Cai. He shouted immediately to avoid embarrassment. When I met Aunt Cai two years ago, she still had short hair, and Wu Haowu really didn't recognize her after not seeing her for so long.

Wu Haowu led Aunt Cai straight to her mother's ward. Aunt Cai greeted Wu Wenchao and asked how her mother was doing, which was very cordial. Mother Wu tried her best to smile and welcomed Aunt Cai's arrival. After a few words of greeting, Aunt Cai said, "I already roughly know the situation from Haowu. That's it. I brought 30,000 yuan over here. You can have the surgery with peace of mind and don't think too much.

Your son has good grades and will definitely be successful in the future. You, just wait and enjoy the blessings! "Aunt Cai handed 30,000 yuan to Wu Wenchao, and then took out an additional 1,000 yuan from her bag and placed it under Wu's mother's pillow, "This 1,000 yuan is for you to buy food. Eat something nutritious and take good care of your body before the surgery. "

After a simple conversation, Aunt Cai was leaving, and Wu Haowu sent her out. He grabbed Aunt Cai and said he wanted to write an IOU. He borrowed paper and pen from the nurse and wrote two short lines content, and attached the ID number to it to show formality, Aunt Cai said, "What if you come to the hospital for your studies? The college entrance examination is coming soon, you should study with peace of mind, your mother is counting on you! "At this time, Wu Wenchao also rushed out to see Aunt Cai off, and echoed: "You can go back to class, leave this place to us. "

Wu Haowu agreed to go back to class. In fact, Wu Haowu was very worried about studying, especially now that he had just finished his 100-day swearing-in, and the tense atmosphere was self-evident. Aunt Cai happened to go back and passed by the bus station to drop Wu Haowu off. Wu Haowu got on the bus back to school. Although the ride was bumpy, Wu Haowu felt relieved and smiled for a long time. Now that he had raised enough money, he only prayed that God would protect his mother and that she would have a safe life.

Wu Haowu returned to school and began to review intensely. He became taciturn and often had a melancholy look on his face. Yes, how could he be so relieved? He was born and raised. His mother, the mother who worked hard to raise him, the mother who would give up anything for him. The other students did not notice Wu Haowu's abnormality, only those in his dormitory and a few good friends noticed it. , but they couldn't give him any help. They just waited for Wu Haowu to go to the cafeteria with him every time he went to eat, and went to class and returned to the dormitory together, silently accompanying him

Because of the surgery. The risk was too great, so the chief physician performed the surgery for Wu Haowu's mother. Since there were several other surgeries ahead, Wu Haowu's mother's surgery was originally scheduled for next Monday, but the pressure from her studies increased. His father repeatedly advised him not to come, and he agreed. Firstly, he would not delay his studies, and secondly, he would not have to travel back and forth. But most importantly, he was afraid of facing some things that he did not want to face, so he hoped to Received the good news from his father at school.

The operation started at ten o'clock in the morning. Wu Haowu was sitting in the classroom as if he had lost his mind. He had no idea what the teacher was talking about. He wanted to fly there at this moment. Stay with your mother in the hospital, even if you just look at her from a distance. When the bell rang, Wu Haowu immediately ran to the monitor and borrowed the class mobile phone to call his father.

"Dad, what about the surgery?" When will it be over?"

"It has been two hours since I went in, and the doctor said it will take at least five or six hours. I will call you after the operation is over. Don't worry too much. It will be fine. ”

This day seemed particularly long. Wu Haowu didn’t receive a call from his father until after dinner. He was so anxious that he had no intention of reviewing, so he simply lay down on the table and fell asleep during his evening self-study. When he saw his mother finishing the operation, she looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm fine. You can go back." It was almost ten o'clock in the evening after self-study, but Wu Haowu still didn't get a call from his father tonight. He wanted to borrow the flight, and the monitor agreed.

Back in the dormitory, everyone had finished washing and was getting ready to go to bed. It was already dark outside, with only a few street lamps standing vertically. There was a dim light on the roadside. Wu Haowu was lying on the bed, staring at the phone. Suddenly, the phone lit up. Wu Haowu jumped up from the bed and ran outside the dormitory to receive the call he had been waiting for all day.

"Your mother's operation is over. The operation was very successful. It lasted for twelve hours and the tumor was basically removed. Now in the intensive care unit, if there is no infection, he should be able to be transferred to the general ward in three days. "

"Oh, when can I come to see my mother? "

"Visitors are not allowed in the intensive care unit now. I will notify you when I am out of danger in a few days.

The mother was very happy and kept praising her son for making the food more and more delicious. She liked to eat it very much. Due to some facial paralysis, my mother can only eat with a spoon when eating, and she will drop a lot of rice grains on the table like a child every time. At this time, Wu Haowu said jokingly: "Mom, you are just like Xie Mengyi (Wu Rong's daughter) now!" The mother and son burst into laughter.

After the summer vacation, Wu Haowu went to university outside the province. This was the first time that he left his hometown and came to a strange place alone. He was a little excited, a little scared, and more concerned about his mother. Mom's health is much better, and Wu Haowu can relax a little more. On the day Wu Haowu left, he talked a lot with his mother, telling her to take care of her health, exercise more, maintain a good attitude, and not to miss him too much. He would call back often when nothing happened.

Wu Haowu majored in plant protection at the College of Agriculture, and his grades were pretty good. He received scholarships, served as various student cadres, and started his own business during college. He basically didn’t ask for living expenses from his family. A few years after graduation, I opened an ecological farm in my hometown with a few good friends, and life slowly started to get exciting. Wu Wenchao's character has improved a lot. He has been taking good care of his wife over the years, which is considered to be his best effort. Although his mother is blind, Wu Haowu still often takes her to travel when he has time. Go to the beach to feel the sunshine, go to the sea of ??flowers to bathe in the fragrance, go to the mountains to breathe fresh air, buy her all kinds of beautiful clothes, eat delicacies from all over the country...

Some time has gone far in a hurry, but the experience Every story is worth remembering. Everything lost will return in another way. As long as there is beauty in your eyes and love in your heart, you can find the source of happiness.

As time goes by, don’t forget the passing years. Because I understand, I cherish it.
