Gao Yinghui noticed the change in Jiang Ning's tone. At this moment, for some reason, her previous shame gradually cooled down and was replaced by a sense of change:
"Yes, four years."
For Gao Yinghui, these four years have divided her life into two halves.
Before she was 12 years old, her life was ordinary and happy, until one day she suddenly felt sick and went to the hospital for a check-up with chronic nephritis. From then on, she went to Nanshi to be hospitalized almost every one or two months.
Although her parents hid it from her, with the rapid development of the Internet, she searched online and finally found that the best treatment was a kidney transplant.
However, even if you wait for a kidney source, kidney transplantation is not a one-time solution. You will need to take rejection drugs for a long time after the operation, and the renal function of the new kidney will gradually lose, and eventually it will enter the disease state again and require dialysis to maintain it.
If Gao Yinghui had never experienced a normal life, she would never be so decadent, but she had experienced beauty.
After getting sick, it feels like being sentenced to life imprisonment, which is almost impossible for a girl to accept.
She didn't want her former friends and classmates to know her current situation. Perhaps due to the girl's stubbornness, she took the initiative to make a break with her past life.
However, at this moment, when she looked at Jiang Ning's strange yet familiar face, she suddenly regretted it.
She was curious as to why he had changed so much. Did he experience something similar to her?
"Jiang Ning, are you still at Wamiao Middle School now?" Gao Yinghui tried to understand him.
Jiang Ning: "No, I'm in Yuzhou No. 4 Middle School."
"Changqingye's alma mater, Mr. Shao?" Gao Yinghui's eyes lit up.
There are two products released by Changqingye, one to cure hair loss and the other to cure myopia. Patients like her can't help but look forward to whether Changqingye Company can develop a specific medicine to cure her kidney disease?
However, it is just a fantasy after all.
The current direction of cure research is to use your own cells to culture organs for transplantation, that is, to replace your own kidneys, so that rejection will not occur.
However, this direction is completely unavailable now.
Jiang Ning smiled knowingly when he heard that Gao Yinghui, an old classmate whom he hadn't seen for a long time, could recount Shao Shuangshuang's deeds.
"Yes, our school held a school anniversary before, and I met Mr. Shao."
"Ah, is Mr. Shao as good-looking as on TV?" Gao Yinghui was pleasantly surprised.
"Better looking."
The train passed the track smoothly, and the girl's surprise could be heard from time to time in the carriage. The unfamiliarity caused by being apart for so long gradually melted away.
The two talked about the current situation, past, and future, as if they had built a new relationship in a space separated by time and space.
However, as the announcement of the arrival of the train sounded, it was finally time to say goodbye.
Jiang Ning and Gao Yinghui were from Guyang, so they got off the bus at the same station and followed the crowd of people getting off the bus to the exit.
On the train, the young woman who secretly brought the Ragdoll cat was holding her bag and almost shed tears. Her cat was ravaged all the way.
She gently stroked the cat's head with her hand: "Don't be afraid, no one can bully you."
As a result, the cat opened her hand with a paw and stuck its head out to look out the window.
Young woman: 'Addicted to being touched?'
…
At the exit of Guyang Railway Station, dozens of taxi drivers shouted loudly.
Gao Yinghui looked at Jiang Ning and found that he only brought a schoolbag. She asked, "Are you going back to Wamiao now?"
Jiang Ning: "Well, together?"
Gao Yinghui apologized: "My family has settled in the county, and I won't go to my hometown until two days later."
As she said that, she looked towards a car in the distance. It was her father's car, waiting for her.
She felt inexplicably urgent and took a deep breath. As if subverting her past self, she mustered up the courage: "Jiang Ning, can you add QQ?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning moved his gaze to her sincere face and stared into her eyes.
She has very beautiful willow eyes, soft and low-key elegance, and she is just like the lively person she used to be.
Facing Jiang Ning's scrutiny, Gao Yinghui felt a little uncomfortable. She suddenly remembered the scene four years ago when Jiang Ning stood at a crossroads under the night sky and asked her for a QQ number, but she refused.
She can still think of Jiang Ning's bright eyes in the dark night, instead of Mo Ran's restrained look now.
She felt particularly uneasy and couldn't help but worry: 'What if he rejects me in order to retaliate for the last time?'
She really wanted to explain to Jiang Ning why she refused in the first place. Well, it sounds very fantasy. She really had a terminal illness.
When Gao Yinghui was in a panic, Jiang Ning said calmly: "I refuse."
Well, Gao Yinghui's hanging heart was completely dead.
At this moment, the shame of being rejected filled her chest, making her feel extremely sour and almost wanting to run away.
'It's normal to be rejected. After all, I'm sick.'
I am no longer the dashing eldest sister I used to be, and Jiang Ning is no longer the ordinary boy he used to be. He is now tall and handsome, and must be very popular with girls...
The next second, Jiang Ning took out his mobile phone and said with a smile, "Can you give me your QQ?"
"Uh?" Gao Yinghui was stunned.
She subconsciously reported a series of numbers, and Jiang Ning clicked to add a friend.
It wasn't until Gao Yinghui clicked to agree that she realized what she was saying, "Where did you fall and where did you get up?"
Jiang Ning: "What else?"
The pessimism disappeared, and Gao Yinghui was angry and laughed: "Okay, good."
Jiang Ning's eyes moved. In the car in the distance, a middle-aged man stared closely at him with a wary expression.
He waved his hand: "Okay, I'm on my way to catch the car, you go home."
After saying that, Jiang Ning walked away.
After Gao Yinghui said goodbye to him, she found the car driven by her father. As soon as she entered the door, a blast of hot air from the air conditioner hit her face, and her heart immediately felt at peace.
"Dad, I thought you went back to your hometown today." Gao Yinghui smiled happily.
Dad Gao's expression softened a lot. He turned the steering wheel and said, "If I go back to my hometown, I'm afraid you won't be following someone else."
Gao Yinghui was a little shy: "Dad, he is a primary school classmate of Wamiao. I happened to meet him on the train."
Dad Gao listened to his daughter's sophistry, but he knew in his heart that he probably had a crush on her.
However, Dad Gao couldn't help but sigh secretly.
His daughter's illness is so serious that, for one thing, she will not be able to have children in the future.
Maybe when young people fall in love, they don't care about this at all.
But once it comes time to talk about marriage, which parent is willing to let their son marry a woman who can't have children?
This alone is enough to deny everything.
Dad Gao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his expression remained as usual, and he said: "Your mother will not be back until this afternoon, and she will take you to your uncle's house for dinner at noon."
"Yeah, okay." Gao Yinghui agreed, but her eyes were fixed on the screen of her phone.
News from the morning, Xiaoxue: "Huihui, before I leave, I want to treat my former classmates to a meal. Do you want to come? There are Wang Jie, Di Ge, and Xiaojuan."
Xiaoxue once studied in Wamiao Town Primary School, and she and Gao Yinghui were good sisters.
In middle school, Gao Yinghui fell ill and took the initiative to cut off contact with her.
Unexpectedly, some time ago, Xiaoxue and her parents went to No. 1 Middle School to handle transfer matters and visited her home.
Xiaoxue thought about transferring to No. 1 Middle School and being alone, so she often chatted with Gao Yinghui, and the relationship became increasingly familiar.
‘Xiaoxue Junior High School is in the same class as Jiang Ning, right?’ Gao Yinghui thought, ‘I’ve heard her talk about Jiang Ning before.’
Originally, Gao Yinghui was ready to refuse, but when she thought of Jiang Ning, she hesitated again.
Gao Yinghui clicked on the screen and sent: "Xiaoxue, I met an old classmate today."
…
Jiang Ning walked almost 400 meters and came to a bus stop, which was a temporary platform leading to various towns.
There were many people gathered on the platform, including grandparents, middle-aged couples, and students. Everyone looked in the direction of the car from time to time.
Although Jiang Ning could control the flying boat, he had no choice. Sometimes it was fun to live a slower life.
He didn't wait for two minutes when a big white G slowly stopped in front of the platform. Its tough and domineering appearance attracted surprised looks from everyone waiting.
The car window slowly lowered, and Ding Shuyan's cold profile appeared. She said: "Jiang Ning, get in the car."
Jiang Ning smiled, he didn't expect Ding Shuyan to play this trick.
He didn't insist on waiting for the bus, but opened the door and got into the passenger seat.
Big G starts again.
In the car, Jiang Ning looked at Ding Shuyan. She wore a loose and neat black suit on her upper body, which looked very high-end. Looking further down, she saw a retro dress and the black silk that covered the girl's legs under the skirt.
‘She is really good at dressing up.’ Jiang Ning thought to herself.
Jiang Ning leaned lazily on the seat and asked casually: "The time card is good."
Ding Shuyan remained calm: "I've always been like this."
Jiang Ning said happily: "Hey, is it always like this, or is it like this to me?"
Ding Shuyan's originally tense mouth became a little difficult to maintain: "..."
On weekdays, she often plays tricks with Jiang Ning on the Internet, but once it comes to reality, she still can't adapt. It's too inconsistent with her temperament.
Jiang Ning: "How did you find out?"
Ding Shuyan drove the car and replied: "Let the traffic bureau check it."
Jiang Ning: "Isn't your family from the Lin Zhongsheng Group?"
Ding Shuyan said seriously: "My surname is Ding."
The Lin family was selected by her mother. To be precise, the Lin family was the only one selected, so she could follow her mother's surname.
Having said this, Ding Shuyan stepped on the brakes, and the big G stopped in front of the red light, with a car on the right side by side.
Jiang Ning's consciousness swept away and saw a young man and woman sitting in the car.
Jiang Ning took out her cell phone, took a photo of the car on the right, and then took her cell phone back.
Ding Shuyan didn't know why.
After leaving the county town, we passed a section of provincial highway and then drove onto the cement road in the township. This kind of road requires very high driving skills, but Ding Shuyan has good driving skills and drives a big G. The cars he encounters obey the traffic laws.
Twenty minutes later, the big G drove to the temporary station in Wamiao Town.
Jiang Ning: "Just here."
Ding Shuyan: "Well, send me another WeChat message before returning to Yuzhou."
She watched Jiang Ning get out of the car, and then drove back without any delay.
at the same time.
Not far away, several young men wearing down jackets saw Big G leaving.
A chubby boy with a chubby face said: "Brother Di, this car is so domineering, it's almost the same as your car!"
Di Ge is not tall, about 165cm tall, but among the others, he is obviously the talker.
His voice was a bit contemptuous: "Xiaohan, my car is a Toyota Baha. This is a big G. With more than two million, I can buy several Bazaos."
Xiaohan was shocked: "So expensive?"
After hearing this, Brother Di felt a little proud: "My family also had a big G before, but I just sold it later."
His family lives by the Huishui River and was a big sand transporter decades ago. His father could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day at that time.
Xiaohan: "Awesome, Brother Di!"
Di Ge lit up a cigarette, looked at the tall and thin figure in the distance, and thought, this man is quite rich, and he can actually sit on the Big G.
Wamiao Town is just an ordinary town, but Di Ge's family is already top-notch in the town.
…
Compared with those top wealthy families, the Jiang family is much mediocre, but in Jiangjiazhuang, it still has some strength.
Grandpa Jiang Ning has four sons, four men from each family, and he is from a "business family".
Uncle Jiang Qitian opens a restaurant in Yuzhou city and earns 500,000 yuan a year.
The second uncle, Jiang Xintian, opened a restaurant in Wamiao Town and earned an annual income of 150,000 yuan.
The third uncle, Jiang Xietian, opened a breakfast shop in Wamiao Town with an annual income of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Only Jiang Ning's father, Jiang Litian, works in coastal cities, and some of them are not able to get a job.
However, Jiang Ning's father is now the most promising person in the entire family.
After getting off the bus at the temporary station, Jiang Ning went to a small store to buy some yellow paper to burn for her deceased grandparents.
He carried bundles of yellow paper and headed east along the asphalt road.
To the south of the road is endless farmland, to the road is a river dam, and a row of two-story buildings can be vaguely seen in the distance.
That's the house of Jiang Ning's third uncle's family, and it's also Jiang Ning's destination.
At this time, two cars were parked in front of the two-story building.
Four people gathered in the main room, led by a short-haired man in his thirties, who was a bit wild and not easy to mess with.
"Uncle, he hasn't been back for more than a year. Now that he has something to do at home, it would be better for him to ask his son to come forward directly. How shameless!" He said in a thick voice, and he was very opinionated about it.
A thin, handsome man next to him said: "Second brother, please stop saying a few words."
The second brother said: "I have to say it, this year I asked him to borrow money, and he refused to lend me money. Isn't he so proud?"
"You make so much money, what's wrong with sharing it with me?" His words were full of anger.
The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, pouring out his dissatisfaction in one breath: "You think my uncle is capable and awesome, but I tell you, I don't care about him at all! No matter how much money you have, what does it have to do with me?"
After hearing this, Sanniang persuaded with a smile: "Xiaosan, please stop saying a few words. Your uncle can now arrange for people to enter Changqingye. Do you want to be a security guard?"
After the second brother heard this, his face turned ugly. He went to his uncle, but his uncle rejected him with one sentence, 'You blinded your classmate in junior high school, how dare I help you introduce him?'
The second brother admitted that he was not good to Jiang Ning in the past. He was unhappy when he saw Jiang Ning. Every time they met, he had to say a few words to him, but he did not expect that the uncle's family would still hold grudges.
"This time Jiang Ning comes back, whoever you want to care about will care about who else. Anyway, if I say this, he won't even want to eat a meal from my house!" The second brother made an oath.
There was a sudden noise outside, and everyone looked around, only to see a strange young man appear at the door.
Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and she could vaguely see some familiarity: "Are you... Ningning?"
Facing everyone's astonishment, Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Sanniang."
Then, he looked at the people in the room and shouted: "Third brother, third sister-in-law, second brother."
The few of them paused for a while, looking at Jiang Ning who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar.
The second brother groaned and thought to himself: 'Damn it, has the family's genes mutated?'
He admitted that he was handsome by Jiang Ning, and the second brother said sourly: "It's different now that the family is rich, tsk tsk."
Jiang Ning looked at his second brother.
The second brother had been kind to him since he was a child. He was the kind of person who ate oranges and only gave him orange peels.
At his second brother's wedding a few years ago, Jiang Ning was sitting well at the banquet table. However, due to a problem with the table arrangement, he was immediately called out by his second brother to replace him.
Jiang Ning suddenly said: "Second brother, your shoes are pretty good. Can you buy me a pair?"
The second brother almost thought he heard wrongly. He hadn't asked for any benefits from Jiang Ning's family, but Jiang Ning?
He almost laughed angrily and opened his mouth: "The money I got? Where should I go and stay?"
Jiang Ning took two steps forward, took out her mobile phone, and showed the photos taken on the way. In the photos, the second brother and the strange woman in the co-pilot were holding hands. They were so intimate.
"Second brother, do you still have money to go out with others?" Jiang Ning half-smiled.
The second brother's expression suddenly changed. He looked around and said hurriedly: "Jiang Ning, I'll buy it for you!"
