Chapter 108: The Devotion of Love
He Xiaonan hugged the phone and Lin Shanshan made a phone porridge, since the second year of high school, He Xiaonan wanted to be admitted to medical school and applied for science, Lin Shanshan was weak in mathematics, physics and chemistry and went to the liberal arts, when she went to school, she was still in a dormitory, and she contacted by phone during the winter vacation.
"Shanshan, there is no phone at Huahua's house, and I don't know if she can still come to school?" He Xiaonan was a little worried about Liu Kaihua.
"That's right, I really didn't expect that there would be such a poor family now, my grandmother's family has several relatives in the countryside, and they all say that life in the countryside is many times better than before, why is Liu Kaihua's family still so poor? and let her drop out of school!" Lin Shanshan's family conditions have been superior since she was a child, and she can't imagine what kind of environment Liu Kaihua lives in.
"Lin Shanshan, you kid grew up in a honey pot since he was a child, of course he doesn't know the suffering of the people!"
He Xiaonan said in an old-fashioned manner, as if he was already seventy or eighty, "When my mother was alive, she often went to the mountains for free clinics, and many farmers in remote areas were still very difficult, although the state has tried its best to support them, but due to limited natural conditions, it still takes time to get rid of poverty!"
"Xiaonan, what you said is also true! I saw from the Internet that our Shandong side is still good, but in those remote places on the southwest border, some families can't eat meat during the New Year, and they use artichoke to wrap dumplings, which is really unimaginable!" Lin Shanshan's ambition is to be a reporter or lawyer in the future, and good writing is her strength.
"So I want to be like my mother, to be an excellent doctor, and when I finish my studies, I will have the opportunity to go to those remote areas to provide free medical treatment for those who have no money to see a doctor, I heard that Liu Kaihua and her father died because he had no money for treatment, so now the family is too difficult, she may not be able to go to school!
"That's right! He Xiaonan! Let's raise money for Liu Kaihua! Just call on everyone to contribute a little money, for us it may be to eat one less restaurant, or buy one less piece of clothing, it really can't call on everyone to donate the New Year's money, Huahua is in the second year of high school, and his grades are good, it's a pity that he can't go to college!" Lin Shanshan is a kind-hearted child, and she has been discussing with He Xiaonan these days how to help Liu Kaihua return to school.
"This is a good idea, why didn't I expect it! This year's Chinese New Year, my second aunt and eldest aunt both gave me New Year's money, and my uncle and grandmother also gave me, and there are quite a few! I donated them all!" He Xiaonan said excitedly.
"Okay! I'll call the head teacher right now and ask for his support! When the school starts on the 16th day of the first month, we will launch a fundraiser in the whole school, and we have to let Huahua go to university!" Lin Shanshan snapped the phone.
He Xiaonan got up from the sofa and ran to her room to rummage through the cabinets, since she can remember, the second aunt and grandma are going to give New Year's money, the second aunt gives more, grandma gives ten yuan if she has no money, and then her uncle also began to make money, and he also gave her New Year's money every year.
He Ruxue has always supported her daughter to manage herself, so the New Year's money has always been kept by herself, He Xiaonan found the box for the New Year's money from a small suitcase.
It's just an ordinary shoebox, which contains a New Year's money diary and a photo album, He Xiaonan hasn't opened the photo album for a long time, turning the first page, it is the hundred days of his childhood, the red belly pocket silver bracelet, which is the standard dress of the babies in that era.
He Xiaonan looked through them one by one, almost every one was taken by her mother, only a photo of the mother and daughter, that was the only trip, He Ruxue took the time to take the twelve-year-old Xiaonan to Qingdao that summer.
That was He Xiaonan's unforgettable memory, the mother and daughter climbed Laoshan Mountain, went to the trestle bridge, and took this seaside photo on the beach by the sea.
The background is a densely woven crowd, the golden sand, the blue sea in the distance, the snow-white waves keep shooting the coast, the mother and daughter are snuggling up to each other in the camera, the same white dress, He Ruxue's with lace, shawl and long hair have a unique style, He Xiaonan's skirt is a simple white cotton silk, which looks as pure as water.
He Xiaonan stared at the photo quietly, two lines of tears unconsciously flowed down his cheeks, "Mom!" He Xiaonan called softly.
After a long time, He Xiaonan slowly closed the album, sighed softly, and began to sort out the New Year's money, these years, in addition to buying some necessary books, I bought a football for Haoran on his birthday last year, and the rest are here, He Xiaonan clicked a total of three hundred and fifty yuan.
It's not too much, it's not too much, He Xiaonan left fifty yuan for backup, and took out all the rest.
"Dangdang! Xiaonan open the door!" He Rulan's shout came from outside the door, and He Xiaonan hurriedly put the money in the book and opened the door.
"Pick it up for me! I'm so tired!" He Rulan and the two of them were full of large bags and small bags, and they had just come back from the vegetable market, and it seemed that they were going to have a big meal today.
"Second aunt, buy so many delicious food!" He Xiaonan hurriedly took some of the things in He Rulan's hand and put them on the dining table.
"Haoran hasn't come back yet, this bear kid is crazy!" He Rulan closed the door with her foot, "Oh, it makes me tired! When I arrived at the vegetable market, I wanted to buy this and that, and before I knew it, I bought too much!"
"School will start in two days, let Haoran have a good time! He told me to go to the third building to learn from the same school, come back at noon! Second aunt, you rest first, it's almost noon, I'll go and cook the rice!" He Xiaonan saw He Rulan's tired panting, and sensibly carried the dishes into the kitchen.
"Cook more rice! My two students will come to eat in a while! I'll stir-fry!" He Rulan shouted into the kitchen.
"Are you a student? and the kind of parents on duty?" He Xiaonan is used to seeing it, every time it is a New Year's holiday, as long as He Rulan knows which student's parents are on duty because they are busy with the Spring Festival or both jobs, and the children are left at home and no one cares, she has to call the students to their homes to eat, and the parents are appreciative that Teacher He's home has become a free canteen for students!
He Rulan often said to her parents cordially, as the family of railway workers, she deeply knows that it is not easy for railway people, on the one hand is work, on the other hand is the family, in an emergency, they always choose unconditional obedience to the arrangement, abandon the family and children, many railway people after retirement, the favorite sentence is that now you can accompany your family!
Compared with their spirit of selfless dedication, they are just doing their duty as a people's teacher, and the students are just like their own children, who celebrate the New Year's holidays and let the children deal with the two mouthfuls of cold pots and cold stoves at home alone, He Rulan is distressed in her heart!
"Second aunt, you are really great! You and your mother are the people I admire the most! I'll wash the vegetables, you can rest for a while! I see that you bought chicken, do you want to make spicy chicken?" He Xiaonan's cheerful voice came from the kitchen.
