The next day, Aunt Duan took the three of us to have breakfast and sent us to school one by one.
Hey, it’s another day of learning martial arts, I’m so bored.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhongyu came and saw Huang Chenxi and us still squatting outside the classroom. He was not surprised at all, so he said hello and went in.
After class was over, the four of us gathered together. Huang Chenxi didn't eat the potato chips she was holding, and her eyes almost popped out: "Why didn't you call me when you were going again?"
"Why are you being asked to do this? What do you think is a good thing?" Fang Zhongyu rolled his eyes at Huang Chenxi in disgust, "Besides, it's so late and the weather is not good, can your parents let you come out?"
"They worked overtime yesterday, and I was the only one at home." Huang Chenxi slapped Fang Zhongyu's hand that was grabbing the potato chips away, "Did you dislike me just now?"
Lulu raised her little hand and said sternly, "I testify that he dislikes you."
Huang Chenxi gritted her teeth: "Why do you dislike me? Nuan Tinglu Lu and I are classmates in Chengtian. We will go to the first grade together in the future, and we are both girls. You guys, please don't keep joining us girls!"
I thought what Huang Chenxi said made sense, so I moved closer to her. Lulu almost hung up on Huang Chenxi and said, "Chenxi, you are right!"
Fang Zhongyu was stunned: "Are you ostracizing me?"
As if he had thought of something, he pinched his waist and looked proud: "We are still neighbors! I also know the secret of Yun Nuanting!"
Damn it! Fang Zhongyu will definitely talk about me wearing "color contact lenses"!
I quickly stood up and grabbed Huang Chenxi with one hand and Fang Zhongyu with the other: "Don't quarrel. We are all good friends, and good friends don't quarrel."
I kicked Lulu under my feet.
Lulu stood up reluctantly: "Yes, Fang Zhongyu, you are a man. Men will not bully women, and neither does Chen Xi. Didn't Fang Zhongyu treat us to snacks?"
Fang Zhongyu and Huang Chenxi both hugged their arms and turned their heads in opposite directions.
I wiped away the sweat that had broken out and couldn't help but sigh. The urban routine is so complicated that I have to learn to make peace with others at a young age.
Huang Chenxi's father came to pick her up after school, but she still couldn't leave with us.
The three of us were dragged by Aunt Duan to the ward where Uncle Lu lived.
When I walked to the door of the ward, the smiling doctor was talking to his second uncle against the wall of the corridor.
I pricked up my ears and listened clearly.
"He has a malignant tumor in his head. His condition is very serious. It has only been growing for a few months and now he can only prepare for his funeral."
The second uncle opened his mouth dryly and finally responded: "I understand."
The doctor nodded, saw us walking over, waved to us, and said to his second uncle: "These two girls of yours are really in good health. It took a hundred days for their muscles and bones to break, but the two children were cured in less than a day."
.”
He also touched his second uncle's arm with his elbow: "Do you have any special medicine passed down from your ancestors at home?"
The second uncle raised the corner of his mouth, but his eyes didn't seem to want to smile at all, and his smile was very forced: "No way, the child is used to being wild, and he is in good health."
Seeing his second uncle like this, the doctor sighed and patted his shoulder: "Just look at it." Then he called the doctor named Maoyang back to the office.
I ran over and grabbed my second uncle's little finger: "Second uncle, what is malignant tumor? Who has it?"
"Uncle Lu." The second uncle looked through the glass with complicated eyes at Uncle Lu who was lying on the hospital bed inside, yelling at Grandpa Duan, "Malignant tumors can be life-threatening."
"Can't it be cured?" Lulu frowned and put her feet up to look at the window.
The second uncle shook his head slowly: "The doctor said it can't be cured, and even if it can be cured, it will require a craniotomy, which is very risky and will cost a lot of money."
I felt my second uncle's hand tightening on mine.
"Second uncle, did Uncle Lu lie to others to earn medical expenses for himself?"
My second uncle didn't answer me.
Aunt Duan patted me on the shoulder, shook her head at me, and pushed the three of us into the ward with my second uncle.
I know that my second uncle always treats people sincerely, and Aunt Lu is good to us. Now that Uncle Lu is ill, Aunt Lu will be sad if she knows about it. My second uncle is feeling sad for Aunt Lu.
I was also sad for Aunt Lu, and I felt a lot better looking at Uncle Lu on the hospital bed...
But Uncle Lu was still cursing: "I curse your old Duan family to death!"
"Okay!" The second uncle shouted coldly, "We already know that you lied to others to earn medical expenses for yourself, but you can't take this road, it's too confusing! Can't we discuss it together if there is anything?"
Uncle Lu's cursing voice stopped suddenly. His mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and his hands were still stretched out in the air. After a long while, he said in a dry voice: "How can you earn medical expenses for yourself?"
"You don't have a malignant intracranial tumor..." The second uncle suddenly closed his mouth.
Grandpa Duan and his family all looked towards the second uncle.
The room fell into dead silence.
Aunt Duan quickly pulled our three children out.
As soon as the door closed, Uncle Lu's banging sound was heard. He said this was impossible, and then he got out of bed to go to the doctor to see if he had misdiagnosed. Then he started smashing things in the ward. The whole ward was filled with howling ghosts and howls, which attracted many people.
Less passing sight.
Aunt Duan drove those people away: "Stop looking, stop looking!"
Fang Zhong, Yu Lulu, and the three of us squatted in a row beside the wall with our faces in our hands.
Fang Zhongyu said from my left: "Master Lu doesn't know that he has a tumor in his head? Then why is he lying to others?"
I didn't know either, so I shook my head: "I thought he wanted to earn money to treat his own illness. He was very sad when those ghosts died."
Lulu squatted on my right side and curled her lips indifferently: "Didn't my second uncle say long ago that cheating by using crooked ways will lead to retribution? I think he has received retribution! No matter how much money he earns, he will have to pay for it.
How to spend it!"
Fang Zhongyu patted his chest in fear: "Fortunately, my grandpa's cousin found out early, otherwise my grandpa would have to be like this too?"
Aunt Duan suddenly slapped Fang Zhongyu on the back of the head: "Don't talk nonsense."
For the next time, Uncle Lu kept making trouble, and the trouble lasted until midnight. Doctors and nurses came one after another to comfort him.
But Uncle Lu insisted on re-examination. When the examination results came out, it was still the same intracranial malignant tumor.
He started to go crazy again and stayed in bed until early in the morning, crying bitterly.
This is what we heard from Aunt Duan in the morning. Because the three of us still had to go to school, we stayed in the hospital for a while and then went home to sleep.
After a day of classes, when I went to the hospital, I found Uncle Lu looking like a different person, sitting on the hospital bed and staring out the window motionless.
I walked quietly behind my second uncle. My uncle's eyes were bloodshot after spending the past two days with him. His double chin was almost gone. His clean shirts were all wrinkled and hung on his thin body.
.
I feel sorry for my second uncle.
The second uncle stopped peeling the apple, turned around and pinched my and Lulu's faces: "School is out again."
The second uncle's smile was full of exhaustion.
I rubbed my nose, glanced at Uncle Lu who was like a wooden stake, turned around and whispered to my second uncle, "Second uncle, tomorrow is Saturday."
"Saturday?" The second uncle thought for a while, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival."
