Sunshine starting line

Chapter 21 Grandpa's Wish

After being silent for about half a minute, Qianhui finally said, "Grandma, Yueyue still hasn't finished his homework. I have to take him back to do his homework."

"What homework?" Xie Yuting asked immediately.

Faced with Xie Yuting's aggressive posture, Qianhui didn't want to answer at all.But after glancing at Xu Ping on the hospital bed, she still replied: "It's my targeted tutoring assignment based on his learning situation."

"That's the extra homework you gave him, right?" Xie Yuting asked again, "Since it's extra, there's no need to do it. Now is a special period. Besides, the school doesn't assign homework now, and you, as a mother, don't need to do it. It should be changed."

It's this kind of tone again, like an order, like a leader anytime, anywhere!
Qianhui once couldn't figure it out: why Xie Yuting has never been a leader, but is only a clerk in a state-owned enterprise, why can she have such a posture?It was only later that I realized that Xie Yuting's mother used to be a small leader of the unit, and she had been influenced by it since she was a child, so it became like this later, she always wanted to give people some color!
But one thing is certain: precisely because of the divorce, facing the aggressive Xie Yuting now, Qianhui no longer feels the pressure as before, and she will not be as angry and distressed as before.

Qianhui thought for a while, then said with a smile: "But you have to care about your child's grades. If the grades are not good, parents have to find a way to catch up, right? I'm just such a child, I can't watch He's behind!"

After hearing this, Xie Yuting sighed slightly, and continued: "Isn't Yueyue's grades pretty good now? I heard it's in the upper middle class!"

"If I didn't keep an eye on her closely, she wouldn't necessarily be at the upper-middle level." Qianhui still smiled lightly, as if there was no disturbance in her heart.

Xie Yuting also smiled, with a hasty and awkward smile: "In this case, you can go back and send Yueyue's homework and let him do it here. Zijun and I will help keep an eye on it."

Qianhui looked at the surrounding environment, feeling a little bit heartbroken.

This is not a separate ward, there are two other patients next door to Xu Ping, probably with similar illnesses, coughing one after another.

Although she also has sympathy for patients, she doesn't want Yueyue to study and do homework in this environment.

She even felt that Xie Yuting was being a bit preposterous, because she deliberately wanted to win her in this way.

The more she found that Xie Yuting was angry, the calmer Qianhui became. After thinking for a while, she said: "I also hope that Yueyue can accompany grandpa while doing homework, but the environment here is really not suitable. How about it? I take him to see his grandpa every night after school, and I go back after the meeting.

For the first time, Qianhui's proposal was supported by Xu Zijun.

It was precisely because of Xu Zijun's support that Xie Yuting, who never gave up until she reached her goal, also followed suit.

Just when Qianhui was about to leave, Xu Ping suddenly coughed again.This cough can't stop.
Seeing this, Qianhui who had just walked to the door pulled Yueyue back.

She walked to Xu Ping's bedside and asked in a low voice, "Dad, in your current situation, do you need chemotherapy?"

Xu Ping was still coughing and had no time to answer.

Xu Zijun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in a low voice: "I also want him to receive chemotherapy, but he insists on refusing and plans to treat conservatively."

Before Xu Zijun finished speaking, Xie Yuting said, "There is a reason why your dad didn't receive chemotherapy. Isn't he just trying to save money?"

Seeing this, Xu Zijun immediately stopped talking.

But Qianhui felt that something was wrong, even though she had divorced Xu Zijun, she still tried to persuade her: "Dad is like this now, how can he not treat him to save money?"

"It's not no treatment, it's conservative treatment." Xie Yuting said, "A while ago, Lao Liu and Lao Xu both died of this disease. Lao Liu discovered the problem in early February this year. He often underwent chemotherapy, and his hair disappeared. He suffered a lot. , passed away in August this year. The problem that Lao Xu discovered in April, without chemotherapy, he prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine to fry and eat by himself, and passed away two months ago. In short, after suffering from this disease, it took about half a year from discovery to departure. Time, more suffering from chemotherapy, less suffering without chemotherapy, but better mental state.”

After hearing this, Qianhui couldn't help being a little shocked.

She has met the Lao Liu and Lao Xu mentioned by Xie Yuting. They often eat together, and every time they meet, they call each other "Uncle".It's just that I didn't expect that those lives that looked unusually fresh would disappear in just a few months.

Thinking of these, suddenly sad.

At the same time, she also felt that Xie Yuting's words made sense.It's just that there are some things she shouldn't say to Xu Ping's face.After all, he is the one who is sick. Although he looks strong on the surface, he is actually very fragile inside.

But Xie Yuting is straightforward, and Qianhui is not easy to persuade, so she said: "The same disease, different people, may have different reactions and results. I think Dad still has to listen to the doctor, and we will follow the doctor's opinion. Make a decision. Maybe Dad will have a relatively good result."

After Qianhui finished speaking, Xu Pingcai gradually stopped coughing, looked at her and said, "Forget it, I decided not to undergo chemotherapy. My own body knows it, and I don't want to suffer any more. I am almost 70 years old, and I can't help it." Even if he has lived to the average life expectancy of Chinese people at this stage, he has not suffered any other crimes in this life, so he should be content."

After hearing this, Qianhui had mixed feelings, but didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Ping set his eyes on Yueyue's body again, with regret in his eyes: "I have no other wish in this life, I just hope that Yueyue will be well. Of course, Zijun is also an only son, if Yueyue It would be even better if Yue could have a younger brother or younger sister."

After Qianhui heard this, she was inevitably a little embarrassed.

After all, she and Xu Zijun had divorced.But now Xu Ping suddenly said that he hoped that Yueyue would have a younger brother or younger sister. It was difficult for her to judge what he meant by what he said.

Half an hour later, Qianhui took Yueyue out of Xu Ping's ward, and it was Xu Zijun who sent them out.

When she got to the elevator entrance, Qian Hui turned her head and glanced at Xu Zijun: "You go back first, Dad still needs someone to look after him."

Xu Zijun seemed to have something to say, moved his lips, and lowered his head again.

Seeing this, Qianhui said, "Don't worry, I will bring Yueyue to see him."

Only then did Xu Zijun raise his head, and when he looked at Qianhui, their eyes collided.

It was only then that Qianhui realized that Xu Zijun's eyes were bloodshot, and there were small fine lines in the corners of his eyes.
Probably because of this, he, who used to look a bit childish, seemed to have matured a lot suddenly.

"Thank you." Xu Zijun said this suddenly, a little politely, accompanied by a feeling of being at a loss.

Qianhui smiled: "What's the matter? It should be."

"I didn't expect you to agree to bring Yueyuelai." Xu Zijun said again.

Why did he say that, Qianhui naturally understood: Before that, Xu Zijun approached Qianhui and asked her to bring Yueyue to meet Xu Ping, but at that time Xu Zijun did not elaborate on Xu Ping's situation.In addition, Qianhui and Xu's family had some unpleasant quarrels, so they dragged on and didn't see each other.

But this time, when she met Xu Ping and saw his sickly appearance, she felt pity in her heart, and even the unhappiness accumulated before began to slowly dissipate.
"I didn't expect his grandfather to suddenly become like this." Qianhui said, "At the beginning, you should have told me his specific situation, so that I would not always be so 'ruthless'. Also, this time you come to pick up Yueyue, You should have told me in advance, I'm not an unreasonable person, right?"

Xu Zijun could naturally hear Qian Hui's words, and smiled awkwardly, but didn't reply.

After Qian Hui left, Xu Zijun stood where he was, watching the elevator lights go on and off, and on and off, wondering what he was thinking.
