Chapter 352: Survival Instinct
Many years ago, Baoqing heard a story from his father.
A blind pastor, humble and polite, and mild-mannered, did not seem to take the matter of blindness to heart at all. There was a little nurse in the church where he worked, and the nurse adored him and decided to help him with corneal surgery.
The priest didn't take it seriously at first, but when he learned that the operation was possible, his heart became agitated. On that day, the nurse hurriedly called him, saying that there was a woman who had been in a car accident and was about to die, and that she had signed an agreement to donate her body before her death, and that she would be able to operate as soon as she breathed.
Without saying a word, the pastor took a taxi to the hospital. He waited and waited in the hospital, and every time the nurse told him, wait a little longer, and it would be fine immediately. He waited for a long time, and suddenly realized that the person in the hospital bed was eagerly waiting to live, and he was waiting for her to die sooner.
In that moment, he had long forgotten that he was a respected priest, that he had forgotten all the propriety and shame, and that he would be able to see again if she died.
Finally, someone spat in his face, he couldn't see who it was, but it was guessed that it was the woman's daughter. She couldn't interfere with her mother's decision, but she hated the pastor.
Baoqing has never forgotten this story, let alone the sadness that his father revealed when telling this story. Dad said that everyone who has been tormented by illness for a long time will eventually be unable to resist the desire to survive. When death comes, the instinct to survive will make people leave all their dignity and reason behind, and beg fate for mercy in embarrassment - let me live!
As soon as he thinks of these, Baoqing will think that his strong and optimistic father is also a very embarrassed person.
Baoqing finally told his aunt about the transplant, and Li Lanzhi also made a difficulty. Bao Qing made up his mind and said, "Auntie, I'd better go for a check-up first! Not only to save my cousin, but also to accumulate virtue for my father." I will never forget the hardships that my family endured during those years of waiting for the kidney. But in the end, it was still waiting, and it was God's favor. If I can help others, I want to help too. ”
Li Lanzhi held his hand and said, "You are a good boy with a conscience, if we stop you and don't let you go, you may not go, and even the college entrance examination will be affected, right?"
Baoqing nodded, and the aunt told all his thoughts.
"Then go ahead! I tell your homeroom teacher about these things, you just have to study hard, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, we try to save your time. ”
"Hmm!"
When Baoqing couldn't sleep, he remembered that in the years when his father was waiting for the kidney source, his mother had begged relatives bitterly, but in the end, there were only two aunts who helped their family regardless of return. Thinking of the grievances and helplessness he received in the past, Baoqing was also a little uneasy. However, there is no harm in doing more good deeds!
If a family of relatives can think of Baoqing, they have naturally done their homework in advance. After the results came out, Baoqing really succeeded in matching with his cousin. He ignored the family who were crying with joy, left a sentence of "notify me when the operation is done", and then picked up his schoolbag and left.
Baoqing was most worried that the date of the operation would collide with the college entrance examination, but it was a coincidence that the hospital only had a place on June 8, otherwise it would have to be postponed for several days. Baoqing's brother-in-law kept calling him, asking him to go for surgery regardless of it, and kept saying that it didn't matter how much money he was given, didn't your family lack money the most? Missed the college entrance examination? What's the big deal! If you don't take the exam next year?
The Baoqing family did not let go. The doctor also said that the operation on the 8th, Baoqing's preparations could not be completed, and it was not realistic at all. But his little aunt couldn't listen to it, and only cried - their cousins were related by blood, how could Baoqing bear to leave his cousin alone and only care about his own future?
Baoqing's family was disturbed by the noise, and the idea of doing good deeds was also shattered. The Li family and their husbands have always been good-tempered, especially Li Lanyun, who has been cultivating her mind all year round, and she was also angry enough: "I wanted to help them, but why was they bitten back?"
Those who tried to drive Baoqing with money never measured the value of his college entrance examination, and those who used family affection to morally kidnap him never considered what they helped Baoqing's family when they were in a desperate situation.
Seeing the suffering of his good friends, Zhao Leilei launched the scolding skill for the first time in a long time: "This is a group of extremely selfish, arrogant, and unreasonable people! Even if you help them, will they have any changes? Is it fair to give your kindness to such people?"
Absolutely unfair.
So Baoqing no longer paid attention to their clamor and insisted on going for surgery after the college entrance examination. The relatives thought that their family was a good-tempered soft persimmon and a group of kind-hearted people who responded to their needs, but Baoqing had to go back with them.
Zhao Leilei and a few good buddies guarded him inch by inch, even when they went to the toilet. Baoqing was confused, Zhao Leilei said: "If your uncle knocks you out and carries you to the hospital, it will be miserable!"
......
Baoqing didn't know what kind of expression to put on, and silently accepted his good friend's clumsy kindness.
On the evening of June 5, as soon as Baoqing finished washing, he received a call from his mother. His mother said at the other end: "Your little aunt called me just now, saying that the hospital has adjusted the time of an operation, and Xinxin's operation can be moved to next week...... You, what do you think?"
Baoqing had undergone his father's surgery, but he was still young at the time and didn't know what was going on. This time, it was his turn to help others, and he realized that transplantation was a very troublesome thing.
He didn't just lay there like donating blood, he had to do a full medical check-up in advance, and before the operation, he had to get injections for five or six days. If his cousin has surgery next week, then he will start getting injections tomorrow, and he can't miss it during the college entrance examination.
As for the side effects of injections, many people say that it is like having a cold, some people will feel dizzy, fatigue, and nausea.
Relatives asked him to get an injection tomorrow, which is really too much for a child who will take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow. Baoqing remembered the story told by his father, driven by the desire to survive, many people will automatically filter out the word "excessive", and the uncle and his family are no exception.
Baoqing did not reply to his mother on the spot, but discussed with his aunt again. Li Lanzhi was talking to Qiao Nan on the phone, and she simply turned on the hands-free and asked Qiao Nan to give an idea.
Baoqing leaned on the table and sighed heavily: "Brother, why did you say that before the college entrance examination, why are there so many tribulations?"
"Children, do you still have a time to choose the ordeal? The tribulation is the most scoundrel, usually when you want to come, when you want. ”
"So, what do I do now?"
"Go ahead!"
"Huh?"
"You still want to help them in your heart, don't you? Think about it, if that child is a day late and doesn't come back, will you blame yourself for the rest of your life?"
Baoqing didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Baoqing, don't think about this matter too complicated, just think about going to the hospital for an injection. The more you think about it, the heavier the psychological burden becomes, and it is better to get that shot happily. Once you've done what you're supposed to do, you'll be able to go to the exam room without any worries. ”
It is worthy of Qiao Nan, who dialed a thousand catties in four or two, and suddenly cleared away the heavy fog in front of Baoqing.
"But, brother, when I think of their family's attitude, I still ......"
"Now that you've decided to give love, don't care who the other person is. Can the well-wishers who donate their bodies know in advance who their organs will be used for? We are the same, sometimes the people who are desperately trying to save them, let alone say thank you, usually don't even let out a fart, as if we owe him. But the next time we encounter the same situation, can we not save them? We don't know who we are saving, but we have the obligation to save people. So, Baoqing, doing good deeds is for our own peace of mind, not for others. ”
At that moment, Baoqing was even more determined to regard his cousin as a life coach.
The next day, the Li sisters took Baoqing to the hospital together. Li Lanlan is wearing a bright red jumpsuit and a pair of dark sunglasses, she is the most beautiful fashionista in the entire hospital. Not only that, but a flaming red lip added to her domineering, making her write a few big words all over her body: The old lady is not easy to mess with!
Baoqing's uncle and aunt were busy chattering, only treating him as a life-saving straw, and took him to various departments in a hurry, and his aunt only told him not to get sick, if he was sick, his son's operation would be postponed again.
Baoqing didn't even eat breakfast, and he was sweating profusely. At some point, he took out the tutorial book and wanted to review it for a while, but was called away by his uncle.
From beginning to end, they didn't say thank you to Baoqing from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't give him the most basic respect at all.
Li Lanlan's violent temper couldn't bear it on the spot.
In the end, Baoqing was about to go for an injection, Li Lanlan grabbed him and asked his uncle: "Have you prepared nutritional products for Baoqing? Even if it's a carton of milk?"
“...... Oh! Look at my brain! Why have I forgotten all this stubble! Baoqing has to take care of his body these days!"
Li Lanlan took off her sunglasses and sneered: "It's not that I forgot, I didn't think about doing this at all, right?"
“......”
"If you are not convinced, then let me ask you, we came to give love to your family, on such a hot day, did you let us drink saliva?"
"It's not all about children......
"You're worried about your child, but what about Baoqing? He's going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, have you worried about him?"
The faces of the two became ugly, and they complained to each other. Baoqing pulled her sister-in-law's sleeve, Li Lanlan ignored him, and continued to be domineering: "Do you know that Baoqing is blocking his own future to save your child?"
"Know, know ......"
"No matter what the outcome of the operation is, you have to be grateful to him for the rest of your life, can this be done?"
"This ...... Of course!"
"There are side effects of this injection, Baoqing has to take the college entrance examination in the past two days, and it is impossible to come to the hospital. I don't care what you do, you have to ask the doctor to go to my eldest sister's house to give him an injection. During the college entrance examination, I will never allow Baoqing to be tired. ”
The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Uncle Baoqing agreed with a sad face.
Li Lanlan put on her sunglasses and gave the last order: "In the past few days, treat Baoqing with your most basic respect." At the very least, let him finish the exam with pleasure and well-being. If my eldest nephew's mood is affected a little, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"
Li Lanlan let the couple learn to be human (temporarily) in just a few words. When Baoqing was injected, the nurse asked curiously, "Who are you who is that big star outside?"
"It's my sister-in-law. ”
"That's amazing!"
"She's usually very good, because I have to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and she's so powerful when she's in a hurry. ”
The little nurse was immediately in awe: "If you want to take the college entrance examination, you still have to donate bone marrow? You are really big-hearted! If you call the Hong Kong City TV station, they will definitely come to interview you." ”
After the injection, Baoqing sorted out his clothes, and Zhengse said: "Sister, I am a senior high school student who is going to take the college entrance examination and needs absolute silence; For many people, this is a trivial matter, so let it pass quietly!"
[The opening story is a short story I read last year, written by a Korean writer.] But I can't remember the title, and even the writer forgot it, and I couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so I'm ashamed...... When it turns over one day, come back and make up for it!]
