Chapter 19: A Visit to Wang Ze
On Saturday morning, the First People's Hospital more than doubled the number of people than usual, some took advantage of the weekend to visit relatives and friends who were hospitalized, but more often sought medical treatment for their own health. While today's society is becoming more prosperous, it also increases the chance of people getting sick.
After Xia Lian and Zhao Yujia met at the gate of the hospital, they entered the inpatient building together. After coming to Wang Ze's ward, they saw that Wang Ze's parents were taking care of him carefully, and the two greeted him politely. At this time, Wang Ze's condition also stabilized, but he still couldn't get out of bed, and he needed to be taken care of by someone for his diet and daily life.
"Wang Ze, you just lie down, it's okay!" Zhao Yujia said softly, and immediately held Wang Ze's body and put the pillow in a comfortable position on his back.
"Thank you for coming to see him!" Wang Ze's father greeted with a smile: "Just sit down, it's okay!"
"I am the class president of the class, and I will come to see Wang Ze on behalf of the whole class, as it should be. Zhao Yujia also responded politely, and then continued to ask: "Uncle and aunt, is Wang Ze better now?"
Wang Ze's father sighed deeply, and his mother also threw her head to the side.
"Although he is out of danger, he still has a lot of damage to his body, and he has broken legs and ribs, and it will take a few months to gradually heal, and it seems that he will have to take a break until next year. Father said in a sad tone.
"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to worry too much, we will find a way to tutor Wang Ze's homework, and he doesn't have to take a break from school next year. Zhao Yujia said comfortingly.
Father nodded with a smile: "Wang Ze, thank your classmates." ”
Wang Ze nodded lightly and said in a subtle voice: "Thank you, but this will be very troublesome for you, I'll wait for next year." ”
"Wang Ze, don't worry, we are classmates. Zhao Yujia comforted. But she and Xia Lian both understood why Wang Ze insisted on wanting to take a leave of absence for next year, just to avoid Huang Qiang's group.
"Let's talk slowly, let's go out for a walk!" Wang Ze's father said, pulling his mother out of the hospital room, leaving space for them.
After seeing his parents leave, Wang Ze quickly wiped the corners of his eyes that were a little moist and said, "Squad leader, Xia Lian, I thank you for your kindness." But I really don't want to go back to school. If it weren't for my parents' insistence, I wouldn't even want to go to school. ”
"What do you want to do if you don't study? Are you still an adult?" Zhao Yujia persuaded with some concern.
"Learn a technology, I've always been interested in computers. Wang Ze said calmly, but there was also deep helplessness in his tone.
"You can finish high school and go to college to study computer science, and you know that it's always easier to get a job with a college degree. Zhao Yujia still persuaded that anyone who chooses to drop out at this stage has great regrets, besides, Wang Ze's grades are not too bad, and he should be able to go to a good university if he works hard, and it is indeed a pity to drop out at this time.
"However, I really don't want to go back to school, even if we do, we won't be classmates!" Wang Ze said in a heavy tone, and then immediately turned his head.
Zhao Yujia wanted to say something more, but she was silent. Then he looked at Xia Lian, who was always silent, touched him with his elbow, and motioned to him with his eyes to persuade Wang Ze.
Xia Lian let out a long sigh and took a long time before he spoke: "Wang Ze, you are worried about Huang Qiang, right?" ”
Wang Ze turned his head to look at Xia Lian and didn't answer, but his eyes had already given a positive answer.
"Actually, now, you don't have to worry. Xia Lian said: "After you go back, he won't bully you anymore." ”
Wang Ze still didn't speak, still looked at Xia Lian in a daze, and his eyes seemed to say, you and I have the same predicament, how can you guarantee it.
"It's really Wang Ze!" Zhao Yujia immediately answered: "You don't know, Xia Lian has talked to them in the past two days, and he has also found people outside the school, so you don't have to be afraid of them in the future." Zhao Yujia said the whole thing lightly, but in Wang Ze's opinion, it seemed to be more like a comfort for him.
"That's true, in short, you can continue to attend class after you recover from your injuries, don't worry about the rest!" Xia Lian said in a reassuring tone as much as possible, but now he is still a certain gap from that domineering temperament, and there is still an element of lack of confidence, so Wang Ze has a look of disbelief. But no matter what, for Wang Ze, who has always been silent at school and likes to stay alone in the corner, someone came to visit and cared for him, which still made him feel a burst of warmth, and he nodded seriously: "Thank you, but you don't have to do this for me." ”
"I'm just like you, I just don't want to be bullied. Xia Lian faintly replied to this sentence from the most sincere desire in his heart. People who are violently bullied at school may have such a simple and ordinary, but extravagant pursuit.
After chatting a few more words, Zhao Yujia got up and said, "Let's leave first today, and I'll come to see you when you get better, and by the way, I'll make up for the missing courses for you." Don't worry, your position will definitely be reserved for you. ”
Out of the hospital, Zhao Yujia asked, "Xia Lian, you found someone to help you declare war with Huang Qiang and them yesterday just to avoid being bullied by them, right?"
Xia Lian didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"Can you guarantee that you won't be like those gangsters in the future?" Zhao Yujia continued to ask.
Although Xia Lian felt a little confused about this question, he still nodded seriously: "I can guarantee it! I just want to study hard and live an ordinary life." This is indeed Xia Lian's true thoughts at this time, but life is always full of things that backfire, and many years later, when he thinks about this weekend again, he will only miss the simplicity of that time.
Zhao Yujia also nodded in understanding: "Then what are you going to do next? ”
"I don't know yet. At this time, Xia Lian was just that simple and kind personality, he couldn't predict what was going on in his head, not to mention, at this moment, he couldn't deal with Huang Qiang and Huang Xu and their cousin Luo Wankun.
The two continued to walk without saying a word, and for a long time, Zhao Yujia suddenly asked: "I've always been curious, where did you study in elementary school and junior high school, why have I never heard you talk about it?"
Xia Lian knew very well what Zhao Yujia meant, judging from Xia Lian's basic grades, theoretically he could not be admitted to the school of No. 6 Middle School, Zhao Yujia asked euphemistically, just so as not to hurt his face.
He was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Actually, I didn't finish elementary school, and I didn't go to junior high school at all. ”
Zhao Yujia looked at him in surprise: "Ah......?
"When I was 7 years old, I was trafficked to a remote mountain village where I couldn't go to school. Xia Lian said, burying his head deeply, he didn't want to talk about the sad past, but in the face of Zhao Yujia's inquiry, he still didn't hide it anymore.
Zhao Yujia also looked at Xia Lian blankly, at this time she had been shocked by what happened to Xia Lian, in her eyes, such a tragic thing was just a report on the news, and there were no people around her who suffered this misfortune, as if they were very far away from herself.
However, this happened to the boy in front of him. At this moment, he understood all of Xia Lian's behaviors, which were indelible scars cut by the deep wounds of his childhood.
