Fang Xiaoshi returned to the ward full of worries, and her mother had woken up. She didn't know how to open her mouth to tell her mother, with what she knew about her, she couldn't let go, and if she said it, she would only be scolded.

"Don't worry about the five guarantees. My illness is not going to get better. Don't die then, and leave a bad reputation for you and your brother, so that the people in the town will even scold me after death. Just when Fang Xiaoshi was in a dilemma, Fang Guilan spoke first,

"Mom, is reputation more important than life?"

"Of course it's important, otherwise where would so many heroes come from?"

"Can this be compared to a hero?"

"Why not? Heroes are for the sake of righteousness and for the country, and I am for our small family not to be ridiculed, and the meaning is almost the same. Strong words have always been her mother's strength, Fang Xiaoshi knew that she couldn't say her, so she had to keep silent, she knew that it didn't make any sense to keep talking. But she had already made up her mind about it.

"Mom, I have to go back to school tomorrow for a few days. Mom looked up at her in surprise. Fang Xiaoshi then explained:

"There's an exam the day after tomorrow at school, and I want to take it. When my mother heard this, she nodded again and again and said:

"That's going, fortunately, Zou Tianyu helps you tutor every night, and with your intelligence, you should be able to keep up with everyone. After listening to her mother's words, Fang Xiaoshi didn't say anything, but she knew very well that in high school, she learned a lot of knowledge for more than ten hours a day, and she had no heart to study anymore, even when Zou Tianyu was tutoring her, she was always absent-minded. After a few weeks, she had already pulled down a lot of her classmates.

She didn't lie to her mother at all, and she did have a very important exam in a few days. The last time Zou Tianyu came, he asked her if she wanted to participate, but she refused at the time, knowing that she would get a mess in the exam, so why bother to find herself boring? Fang Xiaoshi straightened the quilt for her mother and said:

"Mom, then I'll go back to school tomorrow morning, and I'll find a good nurse to take care of you, and I'll accompany you in the evening. ”

"If you ask for money from a nurse, you don't have to look for it, I will call the nurse myself after the bottle is hoisted. ”

"Well, what if you fall asleep? and have lunch?"

"I won't fall asleep, it's okay to take a break at noon and not eat, I can do it..."

"Forget it, I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. I'm still with you!" Fang Xiaoshi interrupted his mother's words and said nonchalantly. When my mother heard this, she hurriedly said:

"Tomorrow you should go to school! Arrange whatever you want!" In my mother's heart, there was nothing more important than her studying, and she had to compromise.

Early the next morning, Fang Xiaoshi found the nurse from last time, and then waited for his mother to have breakfast and got into the car home.

Fang Xiaoshi came directly to the town, and an aunt of about forty received her, and heard that she was going to run a five-guarantee household for her mother. She quickly shook her head and said:

"This is very difficult to do now, not only do you have to come in person, but you also have to sign the guarantor, and this guarantor must have someone with a certain authority. "If you want to sign it yourself, Fang Xiaoshi has already thought of what to say.

"My mom really can't come, she's already unconscious. If she is well, why should I bother to set up this five-guarantee household for her?

"This is not that you said that your mother is seriously ill, this has to be certified by the hospital to prove that your mother is seriously ill and unconscious and cannot come over. ”

"Is this still the case?" Fang Xiaoshi asked in surprise:

"So what else is there to do besides this? I want to do it all at once, and don't do this and that too much trouble. ”

"You show me the household registration book. Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly handed the ID card to the aunt with both hands. As soon as she glanced at it a few times, she threw her ID card to Fang Xiaoshi, and said very unhappily:

"Your family is quite normal! and you have an eldest son. What kind of five-guarantee account have you applied for? Will you be so easy to get state welfare in the future? Can you get it if you want to?"

"Auntie, it's not what you think, it's very difficult for my brother to start a business outside, and he's also raising money everywhere. I'm still studying and I can't afford to earn money, and my mother is very sick and needs money urgently, and she needs to spend a lot of money, so I really can't help it, so I came to apply for this. Fang Xiaoshi said eagerly and pleadingly. The working aunt was even more unhappy and said to her:

"There are many people who can't help it, and if everyone is like you, they come to apply for national welfare when they encounter difficulties, and we won't be crowded. Don't be verbose, let's get out of here!

"Auntie, if you don't do it for me today, I won't leave. Fang Xiaoshi looked at her and said firmly. As soon as the working aunt heard this, the fire came, she patted the table and stood up and said:

"What? Do you still want to stalk? Do you think this will work?"

"Auntie, please help me, my mother will die if she can't apply for this spot. Fang Xiaoshi finally couldn't help crying. Seeing her pear blossom and rainy face, the heart of the working aunt softened again and said:

"Little girl, every family has a difficult scripture, we can't help every family, we can only do things according to the system, as long as it conforms to the system. We'll definitely do it for you, but your family really doesn't fit it! Don't cry, if you have the energy, hurry up and think of another way!"

"I've thought of all the ways I need to think of it, this is my mother's only hope for survival. Fang Xiaoxi's tears flowed even more fiercely. The aunt shook her head at her and said:

"There's really nothing we can do. Hearing her say this, Fang Xiaoshi had to walk out of the office door as if he had lost his soul, and found a random place in the corridor outside.

A man walked in after a while, but Fang Xiaoshi didn't care. Faintly, she heard the aunt just now call him director. Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly grabbed his bag and rushed into the office again.

"Director, please save my mother and give my mother a five-guarantee household quota, right?" The director looked at Fang Xiaoshi in surprise and then looked at the aunt just now and asked:

"What's going on?"

"She said that her mother was very sick, and she wanted to apply for her mother to be a five-guarantee household, but her mother herself did not come, and she also has an adult brother, what do you tell me to do for her?"

"Little girl, our Director Wu has made it very clear to you, we all act according to principles, and you can't find me. ”

"Director, but my mother is really too sick to come, and my brother is an adult, but when his business is in danger, he really can't treat my mother. Fang Xiaoshi raised his tearful face, looked at the director and said.

"But who can prove what you say? Otherwise, you go and find someone to prove it, your mother is too sick to come. Your brother has lost a lot of money, so let's discuss whether we can do it for you. The director thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, I'll do it now. After Fang Xiaoshi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. The director looked at her back and shook his head.

Seeing that her daughter came back early, Fang Guilan was very surprised, she didn't believe looking at her and said:

"Why did you come back so early?"

"No, I'm just going to class, I'm going to take the exam in a few days, and I'm going to have to go back to school these days. ”

"Oh, that's going to have to go back. Fang Guilan looked at Fang Xiaoxiao and said with a heartache:

"Isn't it that after taking so many days off, it's a little difficult to study?"

"Sort of!" Fang Xiaoxiao said a little tiredly. Fang Guilan stared at her uncertainly and asked:

"Have you cried?" Fang Xiaoshi turned his back to her, and was stunned when he heard this, pausing for a few seconds. She smiled and looked back and said:

"Mom, do you think it's possible? How can your daughter be so thick-skinned that she can't keep up with her studies?"

"That's true!" Fang Guilan thought for a moment and asked:

"You really can't keep up with your studies?"

"Are you a god when you are your daughter? You can still keep up with the study after taking more than 20 days off, don't forget that a semester is only about 100 days. ”

"I'm all dragging you down, or you'll be as good as your brother. Fang Guilan said with a deep sigh.

"Mom, you raised me young, and now that you are sick, it is natural for me to take care of you, and it is the same to study again. Fang Xiaoshi sat down beside Fang Guilan, took her hand and continued:

"Mom, don't be too dissatisfied, your son is so angry, isn't it okay? and let me be the same as my brother, then several children in other people's families are all unproductive, so do you still want to live?"

"As a parent, I wish I would be fine if I was tired and tired, and I only hope that my children will have a future life. Mom really can't bear to see you stay in the hospital every day!"

"Don't think about it, the most important thing at the moment is to take care of your illness. Mom, it's hard for you not to notice? You're so much better than you used to be. After so many days in the hospital, Fang Guilan smiled for the first time and said:

"Why don't you feel it? I don't feel so uncomfortable, so hard that my illness can really be cured?"

"Of course it works. Fang Xiaoshi excitedly grabbed Fang Guilan's hand and said:

"Mom, medicine is developing rapidly, and there are many incurable diseases that have been broken every year, how can today's medicine be compared with when you were young? You also know that in the past, you had to die if you had cancer, but now it is different, as long as you have surgery and chemotherapy, you can continue to live. As long as people live, there is hope, and when they die, there is nothing. Fang Guilan listened to her daughter's words, and there was a rare light in her eyes and said:

"I'll be honest with you! My mother has seen too much death since she was a child, and she is more afraid of death than ordinary people, and the imprint of this disease has haunted me for the rest of my life. My mother's family is far away from here, and I deliberately married far away. I'm afraid that your father will dislike me if he knows that my family has this history, and I don't want me, and I want to bear this horror alone, and I won't let him know. "It turns out that my mother still has so much pain in her heart, and her life is not easy. Fang Xiaoshi secretly vowed to let her mother go through her last life happily. Fang Xiaoxiao patted her hand painfully and said:

"You just worry too much, what a good man Dad is! He won't dislike you because of this, he will only treat you better. ”

"Perhaps! Your father has always been very tolerant to me, and I suspect that he already knows this secret in my heart. Knowing that I won't live long, that's why I'm so good to me. ”

"Quite possibly. Dad is the kind of person who doesn't say anything in his heart, but he knows it better than anyone else. After listening to her mother's words, Fang Xiaoshi nodded approvingly.

"Xiao Shi, my mother wants to live more than anyone else, I still want to watch you and your brother start a family and have children! I still want to take my grandson!" Looking at Fang Guilan's infinite appearance, Fang Xiaoshi couldn't hold back anymore, tears gushed out of her eyes crazily, and she was busy pouring water. When Fang Guilan was not paying attention, she wiped the tears in her eyes with her sleeve. She secretly swore that she had to get the application of the five guarantees, and she had to give it death to death.
