Chapter 33 Surgery Fees

After Dou Xiaotian finished talking with his younger sister, he asked for leave with his tutor, then booked the nearest train ticket on his mobile phone, took a taxi and set off.

It was just in the afternoon when he returned to the county seat.

When he rushed back to the community, he glanced at the watch in his hand. It happened to be around five o'clock. He calculated the time, and his father should be back soon.

The old-fashioned six-story house they live in has peeled off in many places, and even the areas that haven't peeled off have become discolored.

As soon as Dou Xiaotian came back, the aunts and uncles in the community greeted Dou Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian is back."

"I remember you didn't come back not long after school just started."

"..."

Dou Xiaotian also greeted them one by one.

This kind of old-fashioned community is usually the family members of the employees, and almost everyone knows each other.Their house is the welfare house allocated by Dou Xiaotian's father's unit.

However, in the past few years, the efficiency of the unit has not been very good, and Dou Xiaotian's father does not earn much. As for the mother, because of the poor efficiency of the unit, she has been laid off for several years.

Although my mother was laid off, she found a new job, which was to help out at the supermarket. After a month of hard work, she only got a salary of more than 2000 yuan.

Dou Xiaotian took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The house they live in is a small three-bedroom house, only about 70 square meters, with a small living room and kitchen.He waited for about half an hour, and his father, Dou Jianguo, came back from get off work.

When his father came back, he was obviously curious when he saw him at home. After all, today is not a holiday, how could Dou Xiaotian come back, and before, when Dou Xiaotian came back, he would usually call home to notify him.

Dou Jianguo looked at Dou Xiaotian and said.

"Little Tian, ​​why are you back?"

Dou Xiaotian looked at his father. Compared with the last time he came back, Dou Jianguo was obviously much thinner than he remembered, even his complexion didn't look good.

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I came back this time to ask for leave from the school, come back to see you?"

Dou Jianguo looked at Dou Xiaotian curiously and asked.

"Xiaotian, did you encounter any problems at school recently, or did the school have any fees that need to be paid, or did you have a problem with your work-study program and need money?"

"If you have anything to do, just talk to your family. Although our family is poor, we can't treat this child who is still in school badly."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I'm fine in all aspects, I just came back to see you."

He looked at his father, and didn't directly talk about his father's illness as soon as he came back. Instead, he planned to see the situation first, or inquire about it from the side.

Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Dad, I recently acted bravely, and the police gave me a bonus of 5 yuan. I saw that nothing happened, so I took it back."

Hearing Dou Xiaotian's words, Dou Jianguo was a little stunned and said.

"5 yuan, what did you do, people gave you so much money?"

In a small county town, ordinary people don’t get sick or have accidents, and they just save for a lifetime, which is just 30 to [-]. Dou Xiaotian took out [-] at once, no wonder his father was a little surprised.

Dou Xiaotian didn't go into details, he vaguely said, and said.

"It just saved a few people."

After finishing speaking, he also took out the certificate of bravery awarded to him by the police, and gave it to his father, saying.

"Dad, this is a certificate issued by the police."

Dou Jianguo saw the good opportunity, so he reluctantly believed it, and said.

"Really, not bad, promising."

After it was over, Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Dad, I see that compared to the last time, your improvement is much worse, and you have lost a lot of weight. Are you sick? If you are sick, don't delay, and you must go to see it in time."

Dou Jianguo hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently.

"I've got some minor problems, it's okay."

Seeing what his father said, Dou Xiaotian knew that his father was a little reluctant to go to the hospital. Now there are only two people in the family, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't continue to talk.

He planned to wait until his younger sister and mother went back to clarify the matter.

In a blink of an eye, my mother came back with vegetables and ribs in her hand. My father told my mother the news of Dou Xiaotian's return, so my mother came back earlier than usual, with vegetables and ribs.

When the meal was about to be ready, the younger sister, Dou Xiaomeng, also came back. Seeing Dou Xiaotian coming back, Dou Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

Seeing Dou Xiaomeng coming back, Dou Xiaotian greeted Dou Xiaomeng first, then pulled the little girl into the room and asked.

"Xiaomeng, about Dad's illness, I just asked sideways, but Dad didn't say anything, you tell what you know, so I can prescribe the right medicine."

Dou Xiaomeng's eyes turned red all of a sudden, as if she was about to cry, she said.

"Brother, I also secretly listened to the quarrel between my father and my mother, so I knew about it. After hearing it, I sneaked into my father's room and looked over his room."

"Dad's illness seems to be a tumor. It's still in the early stages. I checked online. As long as he undergoes surgery, he'll be fine."

"But, brother, you know the conditions of our family. You and I both go to school. Grandpa and grandma have not been in good health these past few years and spent a lot of money."

"Our family's conditions have always been very tight. It seems that the family can't afford that much money, so my father wants to procrastinate."

Dou Xiaotian frowned when he heard Dou Xiaomeng's words, and said.

"Anything can be delayed, but it is impossible to delay the medical treatment. If it is delayed, accidents will easily happen. I will talk to Dad at dinner tonight."

When Dou Xiaomeng heard what Dou Xiaotian said, she suddenly smiled.

But then, she thought of another question and said.

"But, brother, I said when my parents quarreled that the family didn't have that much money for medical treatment. This is also the reason for the quarrel between my parents."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"When it's time for money, I'll figure out a way."

He regrets it a little now. Before that, why didn't Yan Sihai have the 500 million yuan? If he had the 500 million yuan, their family's business would not be a matter.

However, it is too late to say anything now.

The meal was ready soon, both father and mother were a little curious, why did Dou Xiaomeng be dragged into the room as soon as Dou Xiaotian came back, the mother knocked on the door and said after the meal was ready.

"You two, hide in when you come back, what are you talking about, have you eaten?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Got it, Mom."

When the two of them came out, the father looked at them suspiciously, and said to Dou Xiaotian and Dou Xiaomeng.

"You two, what do you have to say, you can't say it in person, but you need to hide it?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Nothing, I just asked my little sister about her studies, whether she has studied hard recently."

After finishing speaking, Dou Xiaotian saw his mother serving the dishes and said.

"Mom, the food is so delicious today, I'll serve it for you."

Mother glanced at Dou Xiaotian and said.

"Is it delicious? What I cook today are all your favorite meals."

Dou Xiaotian helped mom and dad take out the meals. There were three dishes in total and one soup.After the food is set out, people eat it quickly.

Mother added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to Dou Xiaotian and said.

"It's hard to come back and eat more."

"I heard from your father just now that you have won a bonus of 5 yuan for acting bravely. Are you injured? I watched TV and said that acting bravely is very dangerous."

"If something like this happens again next time, just protect yourself, but don't try to be brave."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Mom, I know everything?"

The meal is almost finished, and the dinner will be over soon, Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, the main reason I came back this time was because I heard that you were sick, so I hurried back. I know that the family is short of money, but I hope you can receive treatment."

"The matter of money is not a problem, I will find a way."

"You are the pillar of our family. Anyone can have problems, but you can't."

After his words came out, the dining table became quiet all of a sudden, and even his breathing became serious. After a long time, his father spoke to his mother.

"Honey, it was you who told the child."

Mother shook her head and said.

"I want to talk to Xiaotian, but I haven't had time to say it yet."

Dou Xiaomeng said weakly.

"Mom and Dad, I heard you quarreled. And I went into your room and read Dad's diagnostic manual. Dad really needs hospital treatment."

Dou Jianguo smiled and said.

"Don't worry too much. My problem is not so obvious. I'm just in the early stages. As long as I take medicine, I can control it well. I don't need surgery."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dad, I also checked. The medicine can only relieve the disease, not treat it. Now is the best time for treatment. If you miss this time, it will be serious in the middle term."

"Moreover, although the medicine can control it, there is a certain chance, such as rebound, and the doctor does not agree with this choice."

"Dad, I know you are worried about money. Before the early treatment, my [-] yuan and family savings are basically enough. I will figure out a way for the rest of the money."

Dou Jianguo sighed and said.

"The difference is close to [-]. You are a child and you haven't graduated from university. What can you do?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"I will be able to raise the money, Dad. What matters now is that you need treatment."

The mother also spoke persuasively.

"His father, now that the child has brought back [-] yuan, plus our family's tens of thousands of deposits, at least half of the money is enough. The child will find a way to find the rest of the money."

"Even if Xiaotian has no choice, we can borrow money from relatives and friends, there will always be a way."

"You can't drag your body now. I'm afraid that if you drag on, you will have problems sooner or later."

"Just listen to your child this time, go to the hospital for treatment, don't be stubborn anymore, I've been having nightmares all the time when I sleep these days, I'm afraid that if something bad happens to you."
