Days to Return to the Goddess - Chapter 53
The daily cost of treatment for leukemia patients is quite high, and domestic imported drugs are simply not available to many families.
Too expensive.
Thousands of thousands at every turn, such as Xiang Chaoyang’s monthly salary of more than 3,000, can not afford it.
Recently, however, a special medicine that claims to have the same curative effect as the treatment of leukemia has appeared on the market. The low price has made some leukemia patients who are suffering from the disease have a try.
Many leukemia patients reported that this special drug is indeed effective, and the price is nearly one-tenth lower than the price of domestic imported drugs.
Jiang Yu picked up the shriveled white pill box, “Did uncle go to the hospital for an examination?”
Xiang Chaoyang shook his head, “We can’t pay the inspection fee. I’m going to save some money and go to the hospital for an inspection at the end of the year.”
As he said, he pointed to the special medicine again, and smiled: “This special medicine is quite useful. Since taking the medicine for two months, my dad’s health has improved a lot.”
Jiang Yu and several people were talking here, and there was a movement on the bed. The old man came to his senses, “Chaoyang, is there a visitor?”
Xiang Chaoyang quickly helped the old man to get up, “Dad, it’s anchor Jiang, and anchor Jiang is here.”
“Anchor Jiang?” The old man’s muddy eyes slowly turned to Jiang Yu, only a few meters away, but the old man couldn’t see clearly, and squinted until Jiang Yu walked to the bedside, wanting to see his daughter, and smiled happily. Get up, “Really anchor Jiang, Chaoyang, hurry up, pour the water on anchor Jiang, don’t neglect.”
The old man patted his side of the bed and greeted him, “Anchor Jiang, sit down!”
“Dad!” Xiang Chaoyang looked at his black and shiny bedside. The bed was old and full of dirt. He felt that this house could not entertain people. “Anchor Jiang, let’s talk about it outside.”
“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu sat down by the bedside of Uncle Xiang. “I heard Chaoyang say that you are sick. I don’t know how it is now?”
Uncle Xiang seemed to like Jiang Yu very much. When he was excited, he reached out and held Jiang Yu’s hand, “It’s all minor problems, it’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, anchor Jiang doesn’t have to worry, just don’t know, anchor Jiang What are you doing today?”
Jiang Yu looked back at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke gestured to her, indicating that the camera was ready, then turned around and smiled, “Uncle Xiang, I am here to do a show for Chaoyang. .”
“Show? What kind of show does Chaoyang have to do.” The old man patted Jiang Yu’s hand, like a kind elder telling her, “You, you should interview the people who really need help, and report all the people’s difficulties. Come out and let the country know.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said: “Chaoyang once won the gold medal. He is the pride of our country. My interview with him was approved by the superior.”
The old man looked grotesque, but his unconcealed smile revealed his emotions, “Then if you have any questions, just ask!”
In this narrow room, several golden medals were hung on the mottled concrete wall, and the certificate without a trace of dust was framed and nailed to the wall, symbolizing the glory of the past.
“Can you talk to me about Xiang Chaoyang’s childhood?”
“When I was young?” Uncle Xiang frowned and thought for a moment. “I saw him rarely when I was young, so what’s the point?”
“For example, how old Chaoyang was selected to participate in the training, the first competition…”
“These,” Uncle Xiang said with a smile, “Chaoyang was selected when he was twelve years old. At that time, his coach said that he had a good foundation and he would definitely be able to do it. At that time, I thought about it. , Maybe even a sport can be famous, so ah, let him go. As expected, I guessed it. Chaoyang is a promising person. After a few years of training, it represents our county. I got the first place in the city and entered the city level.”
Speaking of this past achievement, the uncle Xiang was full of pride, “After a few years, he won a few more medals, entered the provincial level, and later represented our country, went abroad to compete. !”
Uncle Xiang pointed to the medals and certificates on the wall, “First place! Gold medal! The 2002 game was won by Chaoyang!”
Jiang Yu followed Uncle Xiang’s sight and glanced at the medals and certificates on the wall, then turned around and smiled: “Uncle Xiang, I also went to the scene for the competition and interviewed Chaoyang. I stood on the podium for Chaoyang. He was proud of that moment, his efforts were not in vain, and he deserved all those honors and medals.”
Uncle Xiang grinned, his face turned a lot rosy, there was no paleness and weakness that a leukemia patient should have.
“Is the training hard?” Jiang Yu turned his head and asked Xiang Chaoyang.
Xiang Chaoyang scratched his head, a little unnatural under the camera, and smiled: “It’s… it’s okay, not very tired.”
“Really not tired?” Jiang Yuzhuo looked at him.
Under Jiang Yu’s gaze, the smile on Xiang Chaoyang’s mouth was stagnant and filled with bitterness, and Xiang Chaoyang whispered: “It’s all over.”
Nearly ten years of training, more than 3,000 days of training day after day, and the summary and summary are only four words, all have passed.
The blood and tears shed in the past and the disability that accompanies eternal life are also summed up in four words, and they are all gone.
The iron kettle on the simple stove called out, and silently lifted the boiling iron kettle to the Chaoyang. The plastic was burned away from the place where the iron kettle was carried. There was only a circle of iron wire around it, perhaps it was very hot. .
When I lifted it up, a lot of boiling water leaked from the mouth of the iron pot onto the red-hot coal, and the red-hot coal sizzled and gave off blue smoke.
The narrow room was suddenly filled with a pungent and suffocating smell.
Without windows, Xiang Chaoyang could only move the iron stove with green smoke to the corridor.
The aunt’s loud shout came from outside the door, “Chaoyang, move this iron stove outside, it’s a big smell, smoke!”
“Mother, I’m going now.”
Chen Ke carried the camera and followed Xiang Chaoyang to the outdoors.
Because of the pungent smell in this room, he bowed his head to the uncle and coughed a few times, his face was frighteningly pale, and his hands tremblingly pointed to the medicine on the table.
Jiang Yu quickly got up and poured a glass of water, then handed him the medicine, “Uncle Xiang, slow down.”
Uncle Xiang skillfully poured a few pills into the palm of his hand, without counting, he raised his head and swallowed it all with water.
After taking the medicine, he leaned on the bedside and gasped for a long time, and then smiled apologetically: “I forgot to take the medicine when I got up early in the morning, anchor Jiang, I didn’t delay your interview just now.”
Jiang Yu was relieved and said with a smile: “No.”
“The child of Chaoyang has nothing to do. I dragged him down. If it weren’t for treating me, how could he stay in this small place!” Uncle Xiang looked sad, “He is a good boy and should have a better future. Yes, hang on me!”
Jiang Yu relieved him, “Uncle Xiang, don’t blame yourself, this disease can be controlled by yourself, Chaoyang does all this voluntarily, there is nothing to drag him down, please relax.”
Uncle Xiang still shook his head again and again, “It’s a pity, Chaoyang’s leg has an accident, and I can no longer compete to win glory for the country.”
“After Chaoyang retired, haven’t the higher-level departments come to understand your situation?”
Uncle Xiang frowned, “This is our own business, how can we trouble the country!”
Xiang Chaoyang and Chen Ke walked in from outside the house, poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Yu, “Anchor Jiang, my place is small and there is nothing good to entertain you, why not wait, I invite you to have a meal?”
“Yes, right! Please have a meal with anchor Jiang!” Uncle Xiang turned his body sideways, lifted the heavy bedding with great effort, and pulled out a few yuan wrapped in rags from the gap under the wooden board, ten yuan, fifty yuan. Yes, twenty, a big draw.
Uncle Xiang picked out a few photos and handed them to Xiang Chaoyang, “Have something delicious!”
“No, no, Uncle Xiang, really no need!”
“Why don’t I, when I see you, I like it very much, you are tired from running all the way, let Chaoyang take you down to the restaurant for a meal, order two more dishes, you are welcome.” Uncle Xiang counted Counting the remaining pieces of bread for ten and five bucks, he counted and murmured: “These are the waste products I sold when I was still working. I originally wanted to save more. Chaoyang married a daughter-in-law, but my body is useless, I can’t do it after a few years, and this little money is not enough for Chaoyang to marry a daughter-in-law, so… just use it.”
The rough and dark hands counted several banknotes, and finally rolled them up with cloth, tied them with twine, and stuffed them under the bedboard.
“What time is it?” Uncle Xiang raised his head and asked Xiang Chaoyang.
Jiang Yu looked down at his watch, “Five thirty.”
“At half past five, then, in Chaoyang, you should take a few people out for dinner with anchor Jiang. That little baby is so thin, she must be tired and hungry carrying such a heavy load.”
Chen Ke smiled and said, “Master, I’m not hungry, so don’t worry about me.”
Waved his hand to the uncle, “Go, go.”
All the interviewees have been interviewed. Jiang Yu got up and said, “Uncle Xiang, take a good rest. I will see you again when I have time in two days.”
Uncle Xiang shook Jiang Yu’s hand, “That feeling is good, if you come, Uncle will kill you!”
Jiang Yu smiled and agreed, “Hole, then I will come next time.”
Until the door of the basement corridor, Jiang Yu could still hear the old man’s simple and loud smile.
Scratching his head towards Chaoyang, “Anchor Jiang, thank you so much for today. My dad hasn’t been so happy for many years.”
Jiang Yu looked at him, “Chaoyang, if I have time, I should take the elderly to the hospital for an examination. I will pay for it.”
Xiang Chaoyang raised his eyebrows, anxious, “How can this be done? That’s my dad, not your dad, so there is no reason for you to pay.”
“How about prepaying you for the show in advance? Can you accept it?”
Xiang Chaoyang hesitated and said, “Do you… still have compensation for the show?”
Jiang Yu calmly said: “Of course there is, I can’t let you go for nothing, right?”
Xiang Chaoyang nodded thoughtfully, “Well, that’s OK, sometimes I take my old man to the hospital, it’s getting late now, let’s find a place to have a meal, anchor Jiang, I invite you!”
Jiang Yu looked at the bulging ball in Xiang Chaoyang’s trouser pocket and couldn’t help but smile, “Okay!”
Chen Ke leaned in, and whispered in Jiang Yu’s ear with a smile and asked narrowly: “Senior Sister, when did our program team start to pay the guests?”
Jiang Yu glanced at him, “From today, there is.”
