Chapter XVII. Ganlo's Suggestion
Pushing open the door, Gan Luo looked sideways into the room, Hu Mei's shallow breathing was very steady, and she cautiously entered the door and touched her forehead, and the fever subsided.
Just as she was about to step back softly, Hu Mei opened her eyes and called her, "Xiao Luo." ”
"Huh?" Gan Luo turned back and turned on the bedside lamp, a faint goose yellow light illuminating Hu Mei's side.
"I can't sleep, you can talk to me for a while. ”
She helped Hu Mei to put a pillow behind her, sat on the edge of the bed instead, and nodded in agreement, "Okay." What are you talking about?"
"Xiao Luo, do you hate Zhang Qian?"
"It's not a nasty. "The friction between her and Zhang Qian is only because of Xue Qian, although she is in the same class, but in the past, she was a person who didn't even greet her, and it didn't matter, so what did she hate to do?
"That's good, people are actually very good. ”
"What are you referring to?" Gan Luo became interested and looked at Hu Mei with interest. She remembered the last time Hu Mei met him, she didn't even move a step.
"He helped me. ”
"Hmm. Gan Luo nodded when he heard this, supported his chin with one hand, and listened very carefully: "You continue." ”
"It was you who ran for me that afternoon when school was out, my cousin and a few girls from other classes forced me to ask me about your relationship with that boy, and I said that you and he were brother and sister, and my cousin didn't believe me, so she took me to the women's bathroom and locked me inside...... In the afternoon, there were few people in the corridor after school, and the toilet door was closed, and no one answered when I asked someone, but he kicked open the toilet door and rescued me. ”
"Xiaomei, I'm sorry. ”
At the beginning, she called Hu Mei and said that she and Zhou Jingrui were brother and sister, and the cause of this incident was her.
As for Zhang Qian, Zhou Jingrui and Zhang Qian were at the school gate that day, and he returned to school afterwards? Why did he go back? Gan Luo didn't figure it out, maybe it was accidental.
"Who's your cousin?" Ganlo sat up straight.
"She's Hu Mei. Hu Mei bowed her head, "She is my second aunt's daughter." ”
"She just wanted to scare me, not really. Seeing that Ganluo's face was gloomy, Hu Mei took her hand and continued to explain: "She said that she wanted to make a joke, and later went back and wanted to let me out, but found that the door was kicked and broken, and the person had already left, so she didn't look for it again for fear of causing trouble." ”
"Why did she say those words to you later?" Hu Mei's temperament, Gan Luo, knew that she didn't admit anything that had not been completely revealed, and her actions were very familiar to Gan Luo.
"Zhang Qian sent me home and told my dad about me being trapped in the toilet, and my dad figured it out and went to her house and got into a fight with my second aunt. ”
"Zhang Qianren is not bad, don't hate him. He asked me to tell you that he didn't do the thing about your bicycle, and the thing about the confession wall was also someone else's yin. ”
"I know that. Ganluo nodded, Xiaomei was close to her, the reason for his return should be to find her to explain for him, and couldn't help asking: "When he saved you, he was the only one?"
"Hmm. ”
Looking at Hu Mei's face, Gan Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Stay away from Hu Mei in the future, she and you are not all the way." ”
"I know. That's what my dad told me. ”
"Does he drink a lot?" Gan Luo didn't want to ask, but he still opened his mouth.
"Even ...... Occasionally. Hu Mei stammered, either because she was nervous, and seeing Gan Luo staring at her, she continued timidly: "This time it was because of the stimulation of the second uncle, and my father went to drink, and he was already very restrained." ”
Ganlo sat forward, looked at the wound on Humei's forehead, and took her hand.
"Xiaomei, you must know that it is not easy to quit drinking. You've got to help him. ”
Regardless of whether he is drunk or not, the person who can do it to his daughter, Gan Luo is resistant in his heart, but that man is Hu Mei's father, and she has to help.
"Xiao Luo, you have a way!" Hu Mei's body tensed, holding Ganluo's hand tightly, her hand was trembling unconsciously, looking at the girl in front of her and gritting her teeth, "Please, help me." ”
"I'm not a solution, just a suggestion, it may work, it may not work at all, quit drinking, the key depends on your father's willpower. ”
Hu Mei smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, and grabbed Ganluo's hand, "No matter what the result is, at least, I tried." It's much better than doing nothing now. ”
"When he's not at home, pack up and throw away everything that smells of wine in the house, and don't let him see the bottles and anything like them. There is also a lot of psychological hints to him to encourage him to quit drinking. ”
"Okay, I'll clean up when I get back tomorrow morning. ”
Ganlo looked at her: "If necessary, you have to lie. ”
"Lying?"
"Hmm. If your father cares about you as a daughter, he will surely regret that he is drunk and beats you again when he is sober. The best thing to do in the near future is to stimulate him with your injury, even if the wound heals after a few days, you have to say that your arm hurts and you will be dizzy. ”
"Pretending to be sick?" Hu Mei hesitated, but nodded in agreement, "Okay." And what else?"
"Xiaomei, maybe my next words will make you unhappy, but they are essential. ”
"You speak first. ”
Gan Luo was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look into Hu Mei's eyes, "Forget about the fact that he beat you this time, and let him know through words and actions that you know that he didn't mean to beat you this time, and you still respect and rely on him, so that he understands his position in your heart and is your only relative." Let him know that the daughter he is protecting does not hate him because of this accident, but cares about his health...... In this way, he felt more guilty and knew the importance of quitting alcohol. ”
"I don't blame him, my dad became what he is today because my mom ran away with someone else. Hu Mei's eyes were red and she looked at Ganluo, "What else?"
"On weekdays, I encourage him to quit drinking. Don't be afraid of him, talk to him more, father and daughter depend on each other, describe to him that life in the future will not be so hard, you will study hard, let him feel that there is hope in life, and do not give up on himself. ”
"Your mother's renunciation is only temporary, and the harshest thing is life. ”
Hu Mei knew that Ganluo's words were right, her family's economic situation was deteriorating, and her father was often drunk, and his eyes couldn't help but glisten with tears: "He loves me very much, and he basically doesn't let me touch the tiring points of the family, but only when he is sober." As soon as he gets drunk, he will smash things, scold people, and feel like a different person, my relatives dislike my poor family and basically ignore it, and it is not easy for my father to raise me. ”
Gan Luo clapped her hands, got up and took out a brown paper bag, "Alcoholism hurts the liver, I'll wrap you with some schisandra and white peony, the two flavors are better for the liver, and you can decoction and eat in dishes." Also, usually remind him to eat green vegetables such as celery and bitter gourd, which is conducive to nourishing liver blood and soothing liver qi. ”
"Good. Hu Mei nodded, got up and moved towards Ganluo, and hugged her with her hands, "Xiaoluo, I don't know what to say, thank you." Thank you. ”
"Thank you when your father really quits drinking. Ganluo wiped her tears, "Be obedient, sleep first, and I'll send you back tomorrow and Saturday." ”
"Hmm. ”
Gan Luo covered the quilt for Hu Mei and gently closed the door.
