"What are you talking about with your sister? Look at her smiling happily."
In a hospital ward, crying is normal and laughter is precious.
Zhao Shumei and Xu Ru were clinging to the door glass to watch the two brothers and sisters chatting. When he came out, they couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Just chatting casually, she said she wanted to find a sister-in-law for me." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Zhao Shumei tried to pull her son's hair, but when she couldn't hold it back, she pulled it with her hands instead: "Where is the sister-in-law from? There is no trace of her, what should I change? You should quickly cut your damn hair for me!"
"Mom, you're going home tomorrow, right? Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to take my aunt's place." Fang Zhuo calculated, "You and my uncle don't have to come over in a hurry. It's useless if there are too many people."
Xu Ru disagreed: "I can just watch her from here. Xiaozhuo, you should go to school."
"We are in our junior year and will graduate next year. At this stage, the teachers don't care about us." Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "Treatment is a long-lasting thing. You can't keep Qiqi from failing until your family members outside fail first."
Zhao Shumei nodded in agreement and said bluntly: "He should be the one to accompany me, that's his sister!"
Fang Zhuo pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, this is my sister."
Xu Ru nodded slowly, tears filling her eyes for some reason.
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo returned to the dormitory with deep thoughts.
"Old Fang, why did you shave your head?" Lin Cheng, who was reviewing, exclaimed when his roommate came back.
"I'm afraid there will be another power outage in the dormitory. My hairstyle can still give you some light." Fang Zhuo glanced at the cabinet where the money was hidden without any trace, picked up the small mirror and took a look, "It's not bad, I've retained 70% of my handsomeness.
.”
Lin Cheng was speechless.
"How is your review going? Don't delay your promotion by falling in love." Fang Zhuo said casually.
Lin Cheng: "..."
Fang Zhuo didn't hear the answer, turned to look at his roommate, and said in shock: "No way? So soon? Is it now?"
He carefully recalled what had happened, and vaguely remembered that Lin Cheng was in a relationship during his junior year of college, but not at this time.
"What's so fast, what kind of love..." Lin Cheng stuttered, "Hey, when I was in class, I thought the girl at the front desk was quite cute. Speaking of which, it was because the teacher found out that I kept helping you take roll call, so we decided
We know each other."
Fang Zhuo blinked, butterfly effect? Has someone changed?
"Anyway, I'll give you a piece of advice, study hard when you're going to graduate school, and don't worry about those things you have or don't have." Fang Zhuo warned in an old-fashioned way, "Young man, think too much about money."
"Hey, how vulgar." Lin Cheng said with disdain.
"Young people, you should think more about career progress." Fang Zhuo said in a different way.
Lin Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong and agreed: "Yes, this makes sense."
He suddenly became aware of his roommate's hairstyle and asked, "Is your sister going to undergo chemotherapy? Change your hairstyle to this."
"Hey, it's so easy to come back from the hospital. Don't mention those things. I have to think about it. You should read a book quickly. The bright future of our dormitory belongs to you." Fang Zhuo sighed.
"Okay." Lin Cheng buried his head in the book full of fighting spirit.
Fang Zhuo opened the cabinet and looked at the satchel containing the money, locked it again, washed briefly, climbed into bed and looked at the ceiling to start thinking about money and illness.
A long night.
When he woke up the next day, Fang Zhuo had just finished washing up and chatting with Lin Cheng about housing prices when there was a knock on the dormitory door.
"Is it convenient to come in?" A clear female voice came from outside.
Fang Zhuo and Lin Cheng looked at each other.
The latter slapped his forehead: "It's broken, here comes the troublemaker, our new counselor!"
Fang Zhuo shrugged, took two steps, opened the door, and said hello first: "Hello, Teacher Xiao Su."
"Hey, hello, you, you are..." The new counselor Su Wei did not expect to see a bald head. She was stunned, and took a half step back to confirm that she was in the right dormitory, "Are you Fang Zhuo?
"
Fang Zhuo grinned, his white teeth and bright forehead complementing each other: "Yes, Teacher Xiao Su, I am Fang Zhuo, please come in, please come in. The dormitory is a bit messy."
Su Wei hesitated for a moment and saw someone standing in the dormitory. She was somewhat impressed by this: "Lin Cheng, right?"
Lin Cheng nodded and bowed.
I used to have a natural sense of distance when facing teachers, but now I don’t know how to communicate normally when facing a beautiful teacher.
Su Wei took a look at the dormitory and found that it was not as messy as she imagined.
She regained her sense of being a counselor, and Fang Zhuo said seriously: "Fang Zhuo, if I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to find you. I asked Lin Cheng to inform you, right? Why have you been absent from class for several days?
?”
Fang Zhuo said simply: "Lin Cheng didn't notify me, maybe he forgot to tell me."
Lin Cheng: "???"
Fang Zhuo did not wait for the teacher to speak and continued: "Teacher Xiao Su, I don't know if you have seen my previous attendance records. I have been absent from class in the past few days."
Su Wei was about to face the fierce student's fierce momentum and suddenly stopped, huh? It seems like this.
"I'm absent from school these days because my sister is sick and hospitalized, and I have to take care of her." Fang Zhuo said methodically.
Su Wei asked with some suspicion: "Hospitalized? What's wrong with you? Then you have to ask for leave first."
"Leukemia. I forgot to ask for leave. I am under great emotional and financial pressure. Say sorry to Teacher Xiao Su and I will give you a leave note later." Fang Zhuo said calmly.
"That...okay." Su Wei agreed without much hesitation. This kind of thing shouldn't be deceiving others. It would indeed be more hectic. She comforted, "Then you should spend more time with your sister in the hospital. This kind of time is the best time."
I need encouragement."
"Well, thank you, Teacher Xiao Su. In addition, I would like to apply for an internship with the school. I will not be in school this semester." Fang Zhuo said.
Su Wei was startled: "The course can ask you for leave and internship application first...According to the process, we can only intern after this semester, and the school will help contact you with job opportunities. I'm afraid this won't work. Otherwise, you can do it first
At the hospital, I will tell the teacher about your situation."
Fang Zhuo took two steps outside and said calmly: "That's it, Teacher Xiao Su, my sister's disease requires a lot of money to treat. Our family's situation is not very good. I will work hard as much as I can and try my best in everything."
.”
"As for the school, we are the first graduates of the Department of Economics and Management, which is somewhat related to the school's image. You think, if I don't apply for an internship, I won't be able to keep up with the courses. People heard that it was because I treated my sister.
The reason is, the school doesn’t look good either.”
"Teacher Xiao Su, please do me a favor. You can try this kind of argument for the school, okay?"
Fang Zhuo stared at Su Wei with his clear eyes.
Su Wei subconsciously avoided looking, feeling that the sunlight reflected from the bald head of the student in front of her was a bit dazzling.
"Then, uh..." she hesitated for a while, "I'll help you talk to the Academic Affairs Office. After all, it's a special situation."
"Thank you, Teacher Xiao Su." Fang Zhuo thanked him again.
Su Wei nodded, glanced at Lin Cheng, and then at the entire dormitory. Suddenly she realized that her mission was over, even though it was completely different from what she had imagined when she came...
"Lin Cheng, usually read more books and do more exercises." She reluctantly found her rhythm and comforted her, "Fang Zhuo, don't be too anxious. Take care of yourself."
Fang Zhuo thanked him again.
Su Wei took her bag and turned around to leave the dormitory.
"By the way, Teacher Xiao Su, your bicycle is downstairs in the dormitory. You can ride it back later." Fang Zhuo remembered something and called to the counselor.
Su Wei turned around and looked up and down in astonishment, yes, this "Little Teacher Su" sounds a bit strange, that's who he is!
"You, why is it you?"
She took a half step back in confusion and stared at Fang Zhuo's bald head: "Did you borrow the car yesterday? I remember he had hair."
"It's me, it's me, I shaved it off last night." Fang Zhuo showed a smile, "Thank you, Teacher Xiao Su, for the bicycle."
Su Wei thought it was quite a coincidence. She stared at Fang Zhuo's face seriously for the first time and suddenly felt a little confused.
Fang Zhuo smiled and nodded.
Su Wei slowly spoke out: "Have I seen you somewhere?"
The smile on Fang Zhuo's face quietly dimmed. Well, I saw Teacher Xiao Su at the promotion meeting, but he had avoided her and had no communication at all.
Those gold-rimmed glasses, that full head of hair, that makeup cover-up, why do you ask this!
Why are you?!
Fang Zhuo replied calmly: "Just yesterday, when I borrowed the car."
Su Wei thought for a while, maybe that's the case.
"So, um, which hospital is your sister in?"
"The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University." Fang Zhuo replied.
"Well, are there any beds? My uncle is the doctor there, maybe he can help." Su Wei asked seriously.
"Hey, yes, yes, thank you, Teacher Xiao Su." Fang Zhuo thanked him several times today.
Su Wei turned around and walked out of the dormitory, and Fang Zhuo saw her out.
"Well, call me Teacher Su."
"Okay, Teacher Xiao Su."
Su Wei paused for a moment and then continued walking forward.
"Teacher Xiao Su, has anyone ever said that you look like that celebrity Li, Li..." Fang Zhuo talked about his impressions.
Su Wei blinked and reminded: "Li Qihong?"
"Yes, it's her, the actor who plays Guo Xiang, Xiao Dongxie." Fang Zhuo confirmed.
"A lot of people said that. I didn't feel it at first, but after hearing a lot of people say it, I thought it was a bit similar." Su Wei stroked her hair and said with a smile, "She did a pretty good job."
Fang Zhuo praised: "Teacher Xiao Su's smile looks more like, as good-looking as Li Qihong."
"Thank...well, thank you." Su Wei stopped being proud and suddenly realized that she was talking to a student.
"Goodbye, Mr. Xiao Su, don't forget to help me apply for an internship." Fang Zhuo stopped, gave one final instruction, and turned around to go upstairs.
Su Wei agreed, and the person had already arrived at the bicycle.
She looked up at the dormitory building, suddenly suspecting that the bald student's compliments were just to get her to help him apply for an internship.
It seems that the job of a counselor is not as simple as one imagines!
…
"Brother, you are here."
"Well, I just asked my aunt to take a rest. I will stay with you today."
"Brother, is your dream real?"
"Of course it's false. Hey, you've never heard that dreams are the opposite."
"That's right, my brother is so powerful, how could he find a sister-in-law and then stop being a householder?"
Fang Zhuo glanced at his cousin on the hospital bed who was suppressing a smile and joking about him seriously. He felt that although her face was a little pale, she was still in good spirits.
"Brother, are you going to do printing after graduation?"
"Although the name of the school is printing technology, I am studying economic management."
"Brother, don't you have anyone you like in school?"
"No, no one in the school likes bald heads."
"elder brother……"
On the day when Fang Zhuo was accompanying her in the hospital, he suddenly discovered that his cousin was still the same cousin. At the very least, she was chattering quite loudly.
In the evening, my aunt Xu Ru came to take over.
"Qiqi, how are you today?" The aunt was concerned about her daughter's condition.
"Qiqi, after talking all day, I'm worried that she's too tired to talk." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
"Well, she's been like this these past few days, and I've never seen her talk so much before." Xu Ru shook her head.
Just as Fang Zhuo was about to laugh, his heart suddenly trembled. This little girl... was afraid that she would never have a chance to talk about it in the future, even if she might really say she was tired.
He resisted the urge to sigh and said: "Auntie, the director will make rounds tomorrow morning. I will come over then to see the treatment plan."
"Okay, Xiaozhuo, go back quickly." Xu Ru turned around and entered the ward.
Fang Zhuo glanced at the girl lying on the hospital bed through the glass and felt very uncomfortable.
After leaving the inpatient department, it was not completely dark yet, and the hospital was still bustling with patients.
Fang Zhuo did not return to school immediately. He sat by the flower bed and watched the hope and despair coming in and out.
The money in Qi Qi's account has not been used up yet, but it will inevitably disappear like water when the treatment plan begins, and the emergence of the "consultation fee" will now be put on the agenda.
What if we find an actor to pretend to be someone from a charity organization?
Will that person doubt the purpose of doing this and be motivated by wealth?
What if it is ten thousand or ten thousand in cash?
It’s still hard to explain at home, it’s impossible to earn such income from running a stall.
Otherwise, let's just put on a performance of picking up antiques. It's a bit fake, but it can always be used in emergencies.
Fang Zhuo thought about the round and round Xi Shi pot, which cost one hundred thousand yuan. Picking it up by himself would be a story that he could tell his family.
"Hey, Fang Zhuo."
His shoulder was suddenly tapped, and a somewhat familiar voice came from behind.
Fang Zhuo, who was sitting, turned around blankly and saw the condescending Xi Shi Pot, no, the condescending Teacher Xiao Su.
"Why are you here?" Fang Zhuo was surprised.
Su Wei shook the documents in her hand: "I want you to fill in the internship form."
"How did you find me?" Fang Zhuo continued to be surprised, "Teacher Xiao Su, you are too conscientious!"
"I saw a stewed egg reflecting light from afar." Su Wei joked and explained seriously, "I came to see my uncle for something. I thought you might be in the hospital, so I brought your application form with me.
Yes, you have to sign it yourself."
"Then...I have to thank Teacher Xiao Su again." Fang Zhuo reached for the application form, leaned on the flower bed and signed his name.
"Your handwriting is pretty good." Su Wei was not at school and was in a more relaxed mood. She took the application form, sat on the steps nearby and asked, "How is your sister doing?"
"M2 acute leukemia will be undergoing chemotherapy soon. We need to see the effect of chemotherapy first." Fang Zhuo pursed his lips.
Su Wei asked cautiously: "Did the doctor say what to expect?"
"The doctor asked me to prepare money." Fang Zhuo replied.
"Huh?" Su Wei thought this was the bald head venting his emotions.
"There are different types of leukemia." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "Some types of leukemia are not terrible. If you have money, 80% of them can be cured. But if you don't have money, the patient will be included in the remaining 20%.
"
Su Wei was stunned. Although she had joined the school to work, she had just graduated from undergraduate degree. She was a little frightened to hear such realistic and cold words and did not dare to answer.
"Money is the antidote."
"It's not a panacea, but it does work."
Fang Zhuo smashed his mouth, as if he was tasting the antidote for his sister.
