April 2016, Qingming Festival.
clear.
Yuzhou First People's Hospital, 3rd Floor, Neurological Intensive Care Unit.
There is a middle-aged woman lying on bed No. 3. Various medical instruments are working regularly. There is a smell of disinfectant in the room, and the leaves outside the window are green.
The two stood beside the hospital bed.
Aunt Gu was wearing textile factory work clothes that she would not have time to change out in the future. She looked tired and there was deep worry in her eyes.
"Chu Chu, you go home for dinner first, your aunt is here."
Xue Chuchu's face was frighteningly pale, her expression numb, as if she had lost her soul.
"I'll wait a little longer." She showed a smile. The smile was really sad. She didn't like to laugh.
At this moment, a shiny man appeared at the door of the ward. His coat could not block his protruding belly.
"Xiao Chu, I'm here to see your mother." The man's voice was loud.
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu couldn't help feeling disgusted.
"Hey, Sister Gu is here!" The man greeted and put down the fruit and milk.
Aunt Gu took the fruit and thanked her: "Boss Li, you are so polite. You have come here several times."
Boss Li was all smiles: "Mei Hua is my employee. She is sick and hospitalized now. I have to come and see her."
He took two steps forward, looked at Aunt Hua on the bed, and said:
"Procrastination like this is not an option. I found connections and asked doctors from Nanshi to come over for flying knife surgery. They said that the same patients can get out of bed and walk after the surgery."
After hearing this, Aunt Gu became hopeful: "Is it reliable? How much does the surgery cost?"
After being hospitalized for several days, Chuchu's mother spent tens of thousands, her family's savings were wiped out, and she still doesn't know how much rural medical insurance will reimburse her.
Boss Li: "A few hundred thousand, just a small amount of money!"
Aunt Gu and Xue Chuchu's faces became even more ugly.
Boss Li didn't say anything when he saw this scene, but just looked at Xue Chuchu a few more times.
"You didn't eat at lunch? You two leave one person to look after Hua Meier, and I'll take you to dinner." Boss Li said grandly.
Xue Chuchu refused: "I'll go home for dinner."
Boss Li thought for a while. He had run away several times in the past few days. Now that he was forced into this situation, it was time for a showdown.
"Chu Chu, the doctor just told me about the situation. Come with me to have a look." Boss Li said as usual, without seeing any flaws.
Xue Chuchu knew that Boss Li had many connections, so she thought about it and followed him out of the ward.
All the way to the yard in front of the inpatient building, the warm sunshine filled the benches and vines were climbing around. Many patients were resting, and some were carrying bottles of medicine for intravenous drips.
"Let's talk here." Xue Chuchu was sitting in the warm sunshine, but she felt cold all over.
Boss Li looked at the girl's breakable skin and stunning face, and he seemed to be recalling his youth.
In an instant, he tore up the memories of his youth with his own hands. As he got older, he only wanted to possess beautiful things.
"Chuchu, your mother's illness requires money, and it will be difficult if the money is not enough."
He no longer tried to hide it, his eyes were unscrupulous: "I know your family's conditions well."
Xue Chuchu said expressionlessly: "Uncle Li, what do you want to say?"
"My uncle can pay for the surgery, including follow-up medical expenses, as well as your college tuition and living expenses."
Boss Li showed his BMW key, stopped pretending, and revealed the fangs of the beast:
"As for you, just stay with me for two years."
Xue Chuchu's expression finally changed, and she smiled coldly: "Boss Li, if my mother knew that you said such things to me, she would definitely slap you."
Boss Li said calmly: "Let's talk about it after she gets out of bed."
Xue Chuchu's face sank: "Don't come here anymore, take your things away."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Boss Li was still smiling and not angry at all. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it when a tall female doctor saw him and frowned: "Smoking is not allowed here."
Boss Li quickly put away his cigarette and smiled: "Director Feng, I have finally met you!"
Dr. Feng stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
Boss Li was polite: "We have met before. My son is in Class 1, Grade 3, No. 4 Middle School, in the same class as your daughter Bai Yuxia."
…
Yuzhou No. 4 Middle School, Class 1, Grade 3.
The school bell rang, and we had a half-day break in the afternoon.
The students in Class 1 did not rush out like other classes. Most students still stayed in the class to answer questions.
As the college entrance examination approaches, the tense atmosphere depresses high school senior candidates.
A girl came out of the classroom door. She was cleanly dressed, about 1.65 meters tall, with a slender figure. Her long hair was hanging down, tied with a green belt. As she walked, her braids moved in the wind.
Her skin was as delicate as snow, she had a lollipop in her mouth, one cheek was slightly bulging, her brows were moving, she looked indescribably cute and charming.
"Let's go, Xue Yuantong!" Huang Yuzhu, carrying his book, hurried past the stairs and greeted her.
After the sophomore class was divided into classes, Xue Yuantong went to Class 1, while Huang Yuzhu and others remained in Class 8.
When Xue Yuantong saw her old classmate, she waved her hand and said, "Bye."
In the east-facing corridor, Wang Longlong held the balcony, while downstairs several high school sophomores holding basketballs rushed to the cafeteria.
He felt this and recited a poem: "I still think of Xiaoqi, whose skills are unparalleled in the world."
Cui Yu, who was wearing jeans and a jacket, shouted: "No, Xiao Qi is gone!"
When Wu Xiaoqi was a sophomore in high school, he had a conflict with Zhuang Jianhui and others on the basketball court. Wu Xiaoqi struck first and slapped Zhuang Jianhui. The conflict escalated. Wu Xiaoqi had trouble at home and eventually dropped out of school.
Zhang Chi approached from behind: "Brother Long, I know you have money, can you lend me 50?"
Wang Longlong calmed down his frivolity and said with a straight face: "Stop playing with your 1 yuan to win the treasure. You save two yuan and have a braised chicken meal. Isn't he happy?"
Zhang Chi gave an example: "Shen from Class 9 won the iPhone 6S, please lend me 50!"
…
At the intersection, a black battery car came quickly, Xue Chuchu pressed the brake:
"Tongtong, get in the car!"
Xue Yuantong on the roadside smiled and said: "Chu Chu, I'll ride a bike."
She learned to ride a scooter in her freshman year of high school, riding alone to and from school.
"All right."
"Chuchu, I'm going to buy some snacks first." She said.
Xue Chuchu thought of her mother who was hospitalized: "I'm sorry, Tongtong, I can't buy it anymore."
"I invite you!" Xue Yuantong's small scholarship treasury has not been exhausted yet.
Every time she has a holiday, she must buy snacks. It is the happiest time of the week.
Xue Yuantong bought dried fish, biscuits, potato chips, spicy strips, and sour plums, spending a total of 12 yuan.
Her family is very poor and her mother works hard, so she can only afford such snacks.
She was envious when she saw her classmates eating snacks from Three Squirrels. Unfortunately, those snacks were too expensive, costing more than ten yuan a pack.
Xue Yuantong was riding her bike home, and the wind blowing in front of her made her feel very comfortable.
"Chuchu, your mother went back to her hometown, hasn't she come back yet?"
"She has something going on back home."
"Well, I also asked her to learn how to pickle salted duck eggs."
"I'll teach you when she comes back."
"Okay!" Xue Yuantong happily twisted the handle and the battery car accelerated.
But she didn't see the dull expression on the back seat.
The rapeseed flowers bloomed under the river dam, and the rapeseed flowers overlapped in the scattered fields. A gust of wind blew through, and the rapeseed fields surged into golden waves, and there seemed to be a fragrance floating in the air.
Xue Yuantong raised his hand as if to say hello to the rapeseed flowers, and the rapeseed flowers bent in the wind seemed to respond to her.
When the bungalow arrived, Xue Chuchu took out the dishes and they cooked for lunch.
"Tongtong, let me put something down first." Xue Chuchu said.
Her house is next door, and the house next door used to be vacant. After discussing with Aunt Gu, her mother moved in from the city and paid Tongtong's family 200 yuan in rent every month.
When Xue Chuchu returned home, she leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling.
Mom's illness is too serious...if in the future...she can't imagine the consequences.
Three minutes later, she calmed down, rubbed her face, and cheered up.
Lunch is very simple, rice and tomato scrambled eggs.
While eating, Xue Chuchu thought of her mother in the hospital bed again. As far back as she could remember, her mother seldom enjoyed happiness and had to work all the time. Because she had no skills, she could only do the hardest and most tiring jobs, such as hotel waiter, factory, cleaner, day shift and night shift.
Two shifts.
In the end, he collapsed and was hospitalized because he was too exhausted.
Xue Chuchu has seen photos of her mother when she was young. Her mother used to be very beautiful, but due to overwork, she is now older than her peers.
Someone around her had advised her mother to remarry, and Xue Chuchu had always known about it, but her mother couldn't let go of her.
It was she who was dragging down her mother.
Sadness and sorrow instantly flooded Xue Chuchu's heart.
Xue Yuantong was eating spicy strips, and while she was sucking her fingers, she suddenly noticed that Chu Chu was crying silently, and the tears were sliding down her smooth cheeks.
Xue Yuantong panicked instantly. She hadn't seen Chu Chu cry in many years.
"Chu Chu, Chu Chu, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Xue Yuantong was in a hurry, and she quickly wiped Chu Chu's tears with her hands.
As a result, the chili oil on her hand got into Chu Chu's eyes.
Xue Chuchu didn't collapse. She was so hot that she felt like dying. She was even more sad. Her thin shoulders trembled and she cried out.
Xue Yuantong was still wiping her tears, and she coaxed:
"Stop crying, okay? I'll give you all the snacks, okay~"
She coaxes Chu Chu like a child.
Xue Chuchu cried for a while, her long eyelashes were covered with teardrops, and they refused to fall. She lost her previous coldness and became pitiful.
She went to wash her face. Her hair was wet and messy on her forehead, and her eye circles were red, giving her a delicate look.
Xue Yuantong was worried, something must have happened.
"Chu Chu, are you okay?" Xue Yuantong's crisp voice was full of concern.
Xue Chuchu calmed down a lot: "I'm fine."
Xue Yuantong was helpless, Chu Chu kept it secret from him.
Suddenly, Xue Chuchu asked: "Tongtong, if we are destined to leave this world in the end, is there any meaning in living?"
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong felt that this question was so profound, life and death, such a distant topic.
She didn't know why Chu Chu asked this.
But Xue Yuantong never doubted the meaning of life.
Xue Yuantong gathered the snacks on the table into a pile. This was her greatest happiness.
"Chuchu, do you like snacks?"
Xue Chuchu nodded. When her mother was not hospitalized, she often bought snacks with Tongtong. That was when she was most relaxed.
"Human life is like eating snacks. Sooner or later, these snacks will be eaten, but will I stop eating them because they will be eaten by me?"
"Maybe I felt a little sad when I was almost finished, but just because I was almost finished, the remaining snacks were more delicious."
"Isn't this the meaning of life?" Xue Yuantong said mischievously.
She divided the snacks into two halves, giving half to Chu Chu and keeping the other half for herself:
"Do you want to eat?"
"Um!"
