Ren Xueping's teacher's apartment on Xueyuan Road, XH District, Hanzhou City, is a commercial house developed by Hanzhou Urban Construction Group.

Before buying the house in 2003, Ren Xueping's family lived in the old dormitory of the Institute of Advanced Education.

The price of the teacher's apartment reached more than 10,000 yuan when it was opened, and the couple's decades of savings were spent before they bought this 120-square-meter four-bedroom apartment and had to repay the loan for 20 years.

Fortunately, there was no concept of school district housing at that time, otherwise the housing price of the teacher's apartment would definitely be speculated, just like the year before Ren Pingsheng's crossing, reaching more than 45,000 yuan per square meter.

Ren Pingsheng had two times after his aunt moved to a new house, so he found Ren Xueping's house familiarly, and it was his uncle Yang Zhenghe who opened the door for him.

Yang Zhenghe is not tall, he has shrunk a little after getting older, and he is half a head shorter in front of Ren Pingsheng, but his facial features are very handsome and upright, with an intellectual elegance.

Ren Pingsheng has seen the photos of him when he was young, and he is as beautiful as a movie star in the last century, no wonder Ren Xueping would marry his uncle from a poor family without hesitation despite the opposition of Ren's grandmother.

Yang Zhenghe is a very talented, but not treated by the world, he graduated from the Department of Finance of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, was assigned to work in a remote county finance bureau in Hanzhou City, and later experienced the People's Bank of China, the Banking Regulatory Commission and other departments, in the previous life has retired early, and now he is still working in the Hanzhou City People's Bank in the timeline.

With Yang Zhenghe's academic qualifications and ability, in the 80s, when he advocated younger and more knowledgeable cadres, he had the opportunity to enter the "third echelon" of young cadres, and since then he has taken the fast track of his career.

But he is a high-minded person, not good at and disdainful of the boss, and is very rigorous in his work, will not operate in violation of regulations, although his business ability is very strong, but he has always been the object of exclusion in the unit, and he has been in a section-level post for decades.

Ren Pingsheng felt the same way about his uncle's experience, and it was precisely because he saw his uncle's life that he recognized the possibility of his career development, and he also made up his mind to change his fate after being reborn.

"Uncle, what about my aunt, how is her health?" asked Ren Pingsheng as soon as he entered the door.

In the past, Ren Xueping would greet this nephew very warmly, but today she actually had to be received by Yang Zhenghe, who is not good at socializing, presumably her aunt's physical condition is really not optimistic.

"I was just discharged from the hospital two days ago, and the doctor said that it was already in the advanced stage, and it was useless to operate, hey!" Yang Zhenghe's words were as solemn as his face, and from his tone, his aunt's illness was not optimistic.

Ren Pingsheng found that his uncle was much older than the last time he saw it, his hair was already half white, and his eyes revealed incomprehensible exhaustion, and it should have taken a lot of his energy to take care of Ren Xueping.

Indeed, Ren Pingsheng hadn't walked into his aunt's bedroom yet, he had already heard a burst of rapid coughing, the curtains in the bedroom were tight, and only a table lamp was turned on in the room, and under the faint light, Ren Xueping was leaning on the bed in her pajamas.

Ren Xueping was originally relatively thin, and after the operation, she was simply skinny. The long, waterfall-like soft hair was already a little yellow, and the delicate face was even more petite.

This face is bloodless and frighteningly white, but just looking at the outline, you can still see that the face is beautiful, especially a pair of warm and clear eyes, which give people a sense of harmony and amiability at all times.

Seeing Ren Pingsheng walk in, Ren Xueping immediately stopped coughing, showed a gentle smile, and beckoned to him: "Pingsheng, you are here, come and sit on my aunt's side." ”

Her voice was very soft, as if the previous cough had exhausted all her strength, as light as a feather falling to the ground, but Ren Pingsheng listened to every word in her ears, and her words seemed to have a special power, so that Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but do it.

"Auntie, you ......" Ren Pingsheng wanted to say hello to his aunt, but it was out of place in front of him, he wanted to say a few words of condolence, but he felt that it was redundant.

Sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at Ren Xueping up close, Ren Pingsheng found that her two eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the big dark circles under her eyes showed that she had insomnia for a long time, and she did cough like this, and even sleeping became a luxury.

Ren Xueping looked at Ren Pingsheng carefully, her eyes revealed care and love, like a peaceful sunshine shining through, which made people's hearts warm.

But she herself had run out of lights, and there was not much light left.

"You've matured a lot more than last year, so you've probably been through a lot of things during this time. Ren Xueping sighed softly and said with pity.

In just a few words, it caused an uproar in Ren Pingsheng's heart, since the rebirth, he has been trying to disguise himself as he should be ten years ago, and it can be said that this disguise is very successful, and even his biological parents are not aware of it.

But Ren Xueping only took a few glances to see what was very different from her peers, this insight was amazing, and she was still a patient.

"Well, it was something that happened, but it also made me understand more things. Ren Pingsheng replied vaguely, he originally wanted to tell his aunt about his emotional experience, but now this situation is not suitable.

"It's good, you can see the light after going through the wind and sand, you have grown up. Ren Xueping didn't ask any questions, for her nephew, like her own flesh and blood, she watched him grow up since she was a child.

Ren Xueping has a very thorough understanding of his character, although he usually doesn't like to be lively, even in a noisy place with many people, he can calm down and think about something, but every important juncture in his life, he will make some unique decisions, and at first glance, it is well thought out.

"Auntie, how is your physical condition now, what did the doctor say?" Ren Pingsheng diverted the topic, he was most concerned about his aunt's body at the moment.

"The result of the test is that it is already stage III, and it is possible to live a few more years if I have surgery, but I think about it, the operation does not guarantee my health, and I don't want to leave someone else with an ugly body. ”

Ren Xueping smiled slightly, her tone was relaxed, but Ren Pingsheng knew how hard it would take to maintain it.

Ren Xueping's disease is lung cancer, about a year ago, she gradually found chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, at first Ren Xueping didn't care, thought it was a cold and fever caused by tired work, just took some conventional medicine, but the condition has not been relieved, but intensified.

The pain starts in the shoulder and spreads to the entire back, and there is a constant cough, from the occasional small cough to the frequent big cough, and then the continuous cough, each cough will implicate the location of pain all over the body, and each cough will bring more pain.

At this time, Ren Xueping and his wife realized the seriousness of the problem, and specially asked for leave to conduct a comprehensive examination, and sure enough, they came to the conclusion that the incidence and mortality rate of lung cancer were extremely high, and the cancer cells had developed to stage III.

According to the treatment plan prescribed by the doctor, even if surgery is done for stage III lung cancer, there is no guarantee of a one-time cure, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be required in the later stage.

Ren Xueping resolutely chose conservative treatment, she loves beauty like all women, radiotherapy will not only cause hair loss, but also have a great impact on appearance, she would rather keep a normal body and leave this world.

But Ren Pingsheng knew that his aunt did not choose the real purpose of the operation, and she still did not want to cause too much burden to the family.

Whether it is surgery, radiotherapy or drug treatment, it can only restrain the current cancer cells, but cannot stop the metastasis of cancer cells.

Ren Xueping is a very rational woman, since she can't be 100% cured, she simply chooses the lowest-cost treatment plan.

Ren Pingsheng did not agree with his aunt's choice, but he still admired her determination and decisiveness, as well as her perseverance in sticking to her own ideas.

In order not to affect Ren Xueping's rest, the aunt and nephew talked about trivial matters for a while, and Ren Pingsheng saw that his aunt was showing some signs of fatigue, so he cleverly found an excuse to exit the bedroom.

Although separated by the door, Ren Xueping's cough echo still lingered in the room from time to time, although the cough was not loud, it was like an awl, poking Ren Pingsheng's heart one by one.
