chapter 01.

Xue Youka cried so loudly in the operating room, her tears were like broken pearls.

The bright light of the operating light is blinding.

The male doctor and female nurse who performed the surgery on him were very gentle: "Kid, don't cry, it only hurts for a second. Once the cut is done, it will be perfect. You look good here, and it will look good and be useful in the future..."

While bandaging, Xue Youka had tears like beans hanging on her face, and the phrase "beautiful and easy to use" remained in her mind.

Will it really look good and be useful?

But it hurts, so much.

The nurse covered him with a paper cup and warned: "It may be a little painful to urinate for the first two days, and you need to apply medicine every day. Your mother knows this, so ask your mother to help you apply medicine, remember?"

Xue Youka shook his head awkwardly, lowered his head and covered the paper cup: "Sister, where are my clothes?"

"Do you want to wear pants or a skirt? Your mother brought you a skirt..." Before she could finish her words, Xue Youka immediately interrupted: "I want pants! Pants!"

He Xiaoyou is a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department of their county hospital. During the long summer vacation when her son was entering junior high school, he took him to the men's department of the hospital where he worked for circumcision surgery.

Xue Youka often comes to the hospital to wait for his mother to get off work. Basically everyone in the obstetrics and gynecology department knows him. He has never been to the men's and urology department, and he doesn't know the doctors and nurses here.

He couldn't put on his pants, so he carried the elastic band to the obstetrics and gynecology floor. During this period, his pants repeatedly rubbed against the wound, which made him cry so much that he couldn't stop crying. With tears in his eyes, he asked the sister at the front desk where his mother had gone.

"Hey, is it Xiaoka?" A young nurse who just graduated from the medical school stood up with her head raised, squinting her eyes and smiling, "Your mother had a temporary surgery, and she had to work overtime... Oops, did you just get that cut?

"

Xue Youka's face burned.

"Is it particularly painful? Sit down and take a rest. Stop standing like this."

"...I don't feel any pain!" He shook his head stubbornly, turned around and ran away. He took too big a step and tore the paper cup. He almost died on the spot from the pain——

Ten minutes later, Xue Youka put on her skirt depressedly and sat on the bench outside the operating room waiting for her mother to come out. He did not dare to close his legs and spread his two calves. He lowered his head listlessly and stared at the somewhat dirty

I was wearing canvas shoes because I was afraid that people passing by would see me.

The experience of wearing a skirt was different from what he imagined. His legs were cold, but it was actually very cool. He was a little uneasy because he was naked underneath and covered the hem of the skirt with his hands.

This dress was not worn by his cousin Fang Liqing.

He Xiaoyou arranged for his son to have surgery as soon as he was on vacation. He Xiaoyou went to his cousin to borrow two discarded skirts and told him: "In the past, your cousin, Zheng Siqi, and so and so, they did it

After this surgery, even if you wear a skirt, there is nothing to be ashamed of. If you don’t believe me, just ask them.”

Xue Youka didn't believe it, and was very resistant and didn't want to do the operation. In the end, he was coaxed and tricked into having it done. Because his mother said it didn't hurt, and his father said he would be a man only after it was done, so he went obediently.

Who knew it would hurt like this? When the needle pricked me, it hurt like hell.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoka? Hahaha, so beautifully dressed!"

"Did you just have an operation at the men's department? Hahahaha?"

"Haha, the kid's dress looks pretty good. He looks so much like your mother!"

He Xiaoyou is beautiful and is the beauty of the county hospital. Her son Xue Youka has been born with thick eyebrows and big eyes since he was a child. He has ear-length black hair, his eyes are like crystal clear amber, and his white and soft facial features are as delicate as a little girl's.

baby.

All the doctors and nurses who passed by knew him. This child didn't know how to be born. When he was still young, he would come to the hospital to wait for his mother. He would smile at everyone and be lovable. It was rare to see him cry like this, and his eyes were red from crying.

He is a child after all, and when adults pass by and see him in a skirt, they inevitably make a joke.

But Xue Youka felt that his self-esteem had been trampled to the bottom. The more he listened, the more he couldn't hold his head up. The more he listened, the more aggrieved he became. He didn't want to have the operation, but his parents lied to him.

In all his life, he has never been so embarrassed. Xue Youka's young heart was hit in an unusual way. The lights in the hospital corridor were flickering, and the smell of disinfectant that he was used to was beginning to become pungent and the anesthetic was strong.

Gradually, the pain in the affected area became more and more painful, spreading towards the limbs and brain. Everyone who knew him would make fun of him.

Before her mother came out of the operation, Xue Youka couldn't bear it and ran away.

People were coming and going in the hospital. I took the elevator downstairs and ran out, but no one noticed me.

His family lived quite far away. When he was in primary school, his grandfather sold a few trees to buy a residential building for him to study. The family of three had two bedrooms and one living room.

The cousin's house is not far away. He Xiaoyou and Xue Youka's father is busy with work. He is often unavailable and late even when going to and from school. So when he was studying, his aunt drove to pick up his cousin and picked him up by the way.

, Xue Youka often had dinner at her cousin's house, and sometimes stayed overnight.

However, the eleven-year-old Xue Youka is still sensible and knows how to take the bus, but he is already a lot taller and cannot be so shameless as to get free fares.

He walked slowly to the bus stop and touched the sequins on his cousin's skirt with his fingers. The skirt was white with small blue flowers on it and had no pockets.

He has no money and no card.

Looking back, I saw that the hospital was far away. Xue Youka had his mouth flat and tears in his eyes. It was really hard for him to come here like this. It turns out that being a man is such a hard thing. He folded his arms and

Sitting on the seat at the bus stop, I kicked the steps on the street angrily, but the pain caused my facial features to wrinkle and tears rolled down my face.

---

Qingzhou is an affiliated county under Guizhou. Shanling County is located in the northeast of Qingzhou. It is the hometown of my grandma with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

"Cheng Yu, look, this hospital was founded by your great-grandfather."

The sun was shining brightly as we passed through the old county town. Uncle Wei drove slowly and explained everything about the old county town to the young man who came to Shanling County for the first time: "There is also this river, called Linghe River, and this county town is

This river is named after it and flows southward into the sea. Have you seen these lychee sellers on both sides? Shanling is rich in lychees and many fruit farmers make a living from it. There is a lychee forest next to your grandpa's house."

The car drove slowly across the bridge. Uncle Wei was used to seeing him being silent. Young Master Cheng was just like his mother in temperament. He was a bit withdrawn and cold, but his appearance took the advantages of his parents. His appearance was still very raw, but

He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is quite handsome. He is less than fifteen years old, but he has lived a long life.

He was very transparent, like a little adult. Along the way, Uncle Wei had rarely seen him smile. At this moment, he said: "Xiao Yu, have you seen the ducks in the river? They are all wild fish. In the past few years,

People here love to catch ducks in the river, but now that we care about ecological protection, the government doesn’t allow them to catch ducks..."

Uncle Wei was telling anecdotes about the small town, while Cheng Yu rested his chin and looked quietly out of the car window.

This side is close to the river and is much quieter than the old county town. My grandfather's house was built on the upper reaches of the river. The undeveloped county town is old and primitive, and every plant, tree, brick and tile exudes the fragrance of nature.

The scenery slowly passed before his eyes. Seeing that he kept silent, Uncle Wei suddenly saw a fruit farmer setting up a stall under the sun on the roadside and said, "I'll get out of the car and buy you some fresh lychees to try."

We had already left the county town and there were not many cars. Uncle Wei pulled the car over and Cheng Yu nodded and responded.

Wei Bo got out of the car to weigh lychees. Cheng Yu looked out the window on the other side and suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl on the roadside.

The girl was wearing a white floral skirt, with short hair, and her walking posture was awkward, as if her leg was injured. She cried as she walked, and stopped in the middle of the bridge, looking at the flow under the bridge in confusion.

of river water.

Uncle Wei was carrying a bag of lychees and was about to get on the bus. When he looked up, he also noticed the little girl with short hair on the bridge opposite.

"Are you lost?" Uncle Wei handed the lychee to Cheng Yu from the window and watched for a few seconds with some concern. "I can't see my parents. I'm crying so pitifully."

Cheng Yu glanced at it from afar, then withdrew his gaze and peeled off a brightly colored lychee with his white fingertips, seemingly uninterested.

Uncle Wei hesitated for a moment: "Well, Cheng Yu, just wait for me for a while and I'll go ask."

Cheng Yu was a little impatient, but he didn't blame Uncle Wei. The little girl looked like she was about to commit suicide.

Uncle Wei crossed the road, walked up to the girl, and asked her with a smile.

"Little sister, where are your adults?"

"My family... I'm not a little sister!" Xue Youka opened his eyes wide and stared at the old uncle who suddenly asked questions, feeling a little wary in his heart, "My father is from the police station!"

This is what He Xiaoyou taught him.

He Xiaoyou felt that his son loved to laugh, smiled at everyone, loved to shout at people, and had a sweet mouth, which was very good. However, he was always worried that he would be abducted by traffickers because he was too unaware of others, so he beat him.

Just instill the concept of "don't talk to strangers and don't eat from strangers".

Uncle Wei was not annoyed when he saw her cuteness, and smiled: "Uncle is not a bad person, don't be afraid, uncle lives there." He pointed to a house built next to the river, far upstream, and looked at it from a distance.

There is only one roof with the highest point.

Xue Youka's eyes widened. He knew that the house was across a river from his grandfather's small orchard, on the other side, but he had never seen the owner.

In the past, Xue Youka swam to the other side with a friend and was particularly curious about the fence because it was very beautifully built. There were two elegant stone lanterns standing outside the door. Behind the two rows of lush green shades, there was a vaguely well-kept small yard.

, wisteria flowers peek out from the edge of the fence.

Uncle Wei bent down to be level with her and said in a coaxing tone: "Uncle was driving by and saw you crying. He thought of my granddaughter and was worried that you were lost. Where do you live? Where are you, sir? Why don't you care?"

"I live...next to the police station." Xue Youka could no longer walk. He looked up and saw the black car parked opposite. The old uncle in front of him didn't look like a bad guy. Instead, he looked a bit like his grandfather.

He had let down his guard a little, but he still kept his mother's words in mind.

Uncle Wei: "Do you remember your family's phone number? I'll lend you your mobile phone and call your adults to pick you up. Otherwise, I think you have injured your leg? How are you going to walk home?"

"I..." Xue Youka wanted to say that it was not his leg that was injured, but pain in his legs, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

He didn't want to walk home, but at this time, his mother was undergoing surgery, his father was not at home, his uncle was having a meeting out of town, and his aunt was probably playing mahjong. Who would come to pick him up?

He hesitated for a moment and looked up at the kind and kind uncle. He was fighting against his mother's instructions in his heart. He was no longer a child and could not be abducted so easily. However, he was injured now and could not run away even if he was in trouble.

...After a few seconds, he thought about it

He found a way and said rather shyly: "Uncle, can you lend me a dollar? There is a bus stop in front of you. I can go home by myself. I will return the money to you another day... Don't worry, I have been to you."

Play over there, and I’ll come back to you some other time to pay you back!”
