Another day has passed, and Monday is here in the blink of an eye.
Because I had arranged to go to the hospital for a check-up with Yan Hai, I asked Yan Shan for leave early in the morning and borrowed 100 yuan from him for transportation.
Although Yan Shan was cursing, he stopped talking when he heard that I had an appointment with Yan Hai. He simply handed me the money and told me to get lost...
Of course, he was just saying it. When I left, he told me that he would start contacting local businesses today and try to get things settled as soon as possible.
Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.
But the change was sudden.
I had thought Yan Hai's illness would flare up soon, but I never expected that it would be diagnosed after just one comprehensive physical examination at the hospital.
When Yan Hai received the test report, he was clearly stunned. His hands were trembling, and he looked at the doctor in front of him with a shaky voice: "Doctor, is there a mistake in the test report?"
"How...how could I have cancer?"
"Look at my body, how could this be?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "If you feel there's a problem, you can go to another hospital for a checkup."
"But I've been in this industry for so many years..."
“My uncle is probably only in the early stages now, so it’s treatable, right?” I interjected.
This result was actually within my expectations, but I didn't expect it to be detected so easily.
Now that the diagnosis has been made, there's only one thing left to do.
Heal!
The doctor looked at me after hearing what I said and said, "It is treatable. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, there is a high probability that you can be cured in the early stages."
"I won't treat it!" Yan Hai suddenly shook his head and said.
"It's not too late to treat it now, but if you delay..." the doctor advised.
Yan Hai smiled bitterly, "I know, but I still won't get treatment."
"Xu Ruo, let's go."
Looking at Yan Hai, I could roughly guess the reason: he was unwilling to undergo treatment simply because of money.
He was the pillar of his family.
If he receives treatment, the whole family will be greatly affected.
It wouldn't make much difference if the sky were to fall.
only……
He cannot be left untreated!
I can no longer stand by and watch Yan Yin live without a father.
This time, however, I didn't try to persuade him; I just nodded.
Seeing this, the doctor sighed, "Young man, you should try to persuade your uncle."
Nothing is more important than life.
"Thank you, doctor."
After leaving the hospital, Yan Hai and I sat by the roadside.
Yan Hai smoked one cigarette after another.
Seeing this, I took a cigarette from the pack in his hand and lit it.
"You smoke too?"
"I know a little." I nodded.
Yan Hai glanced at me, but remained silent.
He didn't say anything, even though I knew he was surprised.
We just sat there, and neither of us spoke.
I know that Yan Hai is in a very bad mood right now, you could even say he's on the verge of a breakdown, because his hand holding the cigarette has been trembling ever since he received the test report.
Perhaps it's just that, as a man and the head of the household, he doesn't dare to cry.
Ahead of us, people came and went, and quite a few went into the hospital crying or came out smiling.
The myriad aspects of the world and the diverse states of human beings seem to be right before us at this moment.
It wasn't until the sky turned red with the glow of dawn that Yan Hai suddenly said, as if nothing had happened, "Xu Ruo, do you think those two will be okay if I leave?"
I thought for a moment, then shook my head and said, "Uncle, you are the pillar of this family. If you leave, do you think they can live well?"
"Yan Yin is about to take the college entrance examination again."
"My aunt's health isn't good either."
