Chen Wan's sixteenth birthday was very happy, and the second brother proposed to celebrate a birthday for the whole family, for which he also ordered a big birthday cake from the town, although it had been turned upside down when it was opened, but the family was still very happy.

The second brother gave her and the third sister a backgammon repeater each, saying that it was for them to learn English hard, but the tapes they got back were all pop songs, and the second brother said that it was a good thing that Sun Fatzi did, and he went back to help go to the city to buy it, although it was a little funny, but she was still very happy.

Chen Wan knows that the repeater is not cheap, and the classmates in the same dormitory have one, but it is not as beautiful as the one given by the second brother, she knows that the money to buy a repeater can cover her living expenses for several months, and the family was not in a good situation before, and she never had the luxury of expecting herself to have one.

Because of the second brother, all this has changed.

Chen Wan's impression that the second brother used to be sullen, not very talkative, and not very impatient with the three sisters, but since the college entrance examination, all this has changed, the second brother has become very assertive, and likes to tease people, the most important thing is to become capable, he actually took the first place in the province, and she also felt honored in school.

The three sisters of the Chen family have been in a house since childhood, and their feelings are naturally extraordinary, they often get together to discuss the second brother recently, but he is still in the dark, and he even privately told the third sister that Xiao Wu is a big mouth, and Xiao Wu knew about it that night, but was tossed by Xiao Wuyi for several days, looking at the second brother's headache, she and the third sister laughed in their hearts.

The second brother doesn't know, in fact, it's not the little five mouths, it's the third sister who really likes gossip at home, what the second brother talked about his girlfriend at school, the second brother got into trouble at school again, and a lot of the second brother's troubles are the third sister's revelations, but in the end, it was Xiao Wu who took the blame, who made her the youngest, everyone knew that the second brother couldn't do anything with Xiao Wu.

A lot of things have happened in the family recently, and the economic conditions have improved, Chen Wan knows that all this is the credit of the second brother, she also heard her parents discussing the matter of building a house in private, the second brother said a few days ago that he wanted to buy a house in the city, although his mother complained that he was fooling around, but looking at his appearance at the time, there was no joke at all, Chen Wan was a little uncertain in her heart, is this still the second brother before?

"Fourth, why are you in a daze? Let's have a toast together! I wish our family a happy birthday!"

Chen Wan was awakened from her contemplation, she glanced at the second brother with a glass of beer, and her heart was relieved, why think so much, no matter how he changes, he is his second brother, the Chen family has a father and a second brother to worry about, presumably the days will get better and better, thinking of this, she picked up the cola in front of the table and said with a smile: "Come, let's have a toast!"

Xiao Wu also took a glass of Coke and said, "I want to toast too!"

Chen's mother said angrily: "What are you doing when it's so full, and no one is robbing you, such a big cup, can you drink it?" Xiao Wu looked at the cup in his hand, and suddenly lost his breath, watching her eat at Chen's mother, everyone at the table laughed, and the birthday banquet was suddenly very lively.

……

The next day, Chen Qiaoshan took the time to go to Xiao Chen's house.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't know the specific location of Xiao Chen's house, he heard Xiao Chen say it once when he was in the brick factory, and now he only remembers a rough idea, fortunately, they are all local people, he rode the old Erba at home, and inquired while walking, but he still found it.

Xiao Chen's family is similar to the Chen family, old houses with blue bricks and gray tiles, which are very common in the countryside, and they were all built in the eighties and nineties, and they have been for a long time.

As soon as Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the gate of Xiao Chen's courtyard, he saw Chen Meng and an old couple in their sixties working in the courtyard, thinking that it should be Xiao Chen's grandparents.

Xiao Chen also saw him, hurriedly greeted him, and asked in surprise, "Brother Chen, why are you here?"

"I heard that you didn't work in the brick factory anymore, so I came over to take a look!"

Xiao Chen's face was a little frustrated, and it took a while to react, and he said happily: "Brother Chen, congratulations, you actually took the first place in the province, it's amazing!"

"Xiao Meng, welcome the guests into the house when they come, don't stand at the door!"

"Got it, grandma!" Xiao Chen hurriedly greeted, Chen Qiaoshan said: "Grandpa, my name is Chen Qiaoshan, I am Xiao Chen's friend, I will come to see him when I pass by today!"

Xiao Chen introduced: "Brother Chen is a friend I met in the brick factory, and he is the top student in the college entrance examination in the province this year!"

The two elders were very surprised, and complimented them repeatedly, "It's really amazing!

"Grandparents, don't boast anymore, I'm embarrassed, you just call me Dashan, I am very good friends with Xiao Chen, I will take care of him when I am in the brick factory!"

……

The layout of Xiao Chen's house is very ordinary, and there are no decent electrical appliances, but it is very clean, and the porcelain teacups that have just been served are also polished, and it seems that someone often takes care of them.

Chen Qiaoshan saw Xiao Chen's mother, she was sitting in the hall, a very thin middle-aged woman, her right eye was obviously protruding, and the whole person looked very weak, she chatted with Chen Qiaoshan for a few words, and she was soft, feeling a little weak.

Chen Qiaoshan inquired about her condition a little, Xiao Chen was silent, and his mother only said a few words, and then repeatedly muttered things like dragging Xiao Chen's father and son, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

Chen Qiaoshan felt a little desolate, obviously not terminally ill but had no money to go to the hospital, so he could only drag it at home, this kind of thing was the first time he had encountered it, he felt that he couldn't stay anymore, he had also suffered and suffered in his previous life, but compared with the current situation of Xiao Chen's family, those were nothing at all.

Chen Qiaoshan sat for a while and then said goodbye, Xiao Chen sent him away, and when he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Chen Qiaoshan asked in a low voice: "Xiao Chen, has your mother's illness been checked in the hospital?"

"I went to the health center in the town a few days ago, and the doctor said that the town could not cure it, so I sent it to the city for surgery!"

Xiao Chen was very depressed, and his voice was a little lower, after all, he was only sixteen years old, and in the face of the huge pressure of his family, the whole person looked anxious and powerless.

Chen Qiaoshan was also very uncomfortable, he could feel the struggle and sorrow in Xiao Chen's heart, which should not have been borne by people of his age.

Chen Qiaoshan sighed in his heart, as the saying goes, saving the emergency is not helping the poor, he has this ability now, since he has encountered it, he will try to help as much as possible, and he can't watch his friend struggle hopelessly like this.

"Did the doctor say how much money would be needed in the city?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised at first, but he suddenly reacted, did Brother Chen want to help himself? Thinking of this, he was both surprised and a little hesitant.

Xiao Chen was very worried, he knew that Chen Qiaoshan's family was not rich, otherwise Chen Weiguo's father and son would not go to work in the brick factory, but he remembered another thing he had heard, a few days ago, the city awarded the Chen family 50,000 yuan, in case Brother Chen reached out to help, his mother's illness would be saved, thinking of this Xiao Chen's heart was excited, but he thought that his relatives couldn't borrow money, and the two were ordinary friends, so he couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses.

"Brother Chen, the doctor said that my mother's condition is not optimistic, and she will have to be treated conservatively for a period of time before she can operate, and the cost of the operation alone will be 4,000 yuan, and there are complications that also need money, and the doctor asked my family to prepare at least 7,000 yuan!"

Chen Qiaoshan also saw Xiao Chen's entanglement, and he didn't go around the corner, and said directly: "Xiao Chen, I can lend you 7,000 yuan!"

"Really, Brother Chen, is this true?" Xiao Chen was very excited, and he couldn't help but not be excited, it was his own mother who was sick, and he couldn't wait to be sick.

Chen Qiaoshan nodded, he must be busy to help, but he also knows the truth of saving the emergency but not the poor, and some things still have to be said clearly in advance, so as not to complain if they don't fall well in the future.

"Xiao Chen, we are friends, this time your family is in trouble, I will definitely not watch from the sidelines, but there are some things I still have to make clear in advance!"

Xiao Chen nodded again and again, "Brother Chen, you say, I promise you everything!"

Chen Qiaoshan shook his head, and sighed very emotionally in his heart, if the sick person was replaced by Chen's mother, he would think that he would be like this, thinking of this, he said directly: "I can help you with the money for my aunt's medical treatment, but this money is what I lent you!"

Reincarnated as a human being, Chen Qiaoshan has seen too many things, he understands the truth of Shengmi En's fight against Mi Hatred, he cherishes Xiao Chen's friend very much, no one can say what will happen in the future, and he doesn't want to make a bullshit in the future.

Xiao Chen didn't hesitate and promised: "Brother Chen, this is as it should be, don't worry, I can go out to work when my mother is sick, and I promise to return the money to you within two years!"

Chen Qiaoshan comforted: "Don't be in a hurry to pay it back, it's no problem for three or five years!"

Chen Qiaoshan doesn't care about this money, but one yard is one yard, the affection between people must be carefully maintained, and the brothers must settle accounts clearly, otherwise no matter how good the affection is, it will not be able to withstand the toss.

……

Chen Qiaoshan didn't stay long, he asked Xiao Chen's mother in detail about the condition before leaving, and he was going to the hospital to get medical records, he would go to the city in two days, so he thought about going to the city hospital to inquire about the situation first, so as not to turn around and be in a hurry.

In the evening, Chen Qiaoshan told Chen's mother about Xiao Chen's family.

Chen's mother is very emotional, no one is rich these days, and it is not unheard of to have lost their wealth for treatment, and sometimes relatives may not be able to borrow money for treatment.

She was a little curious as to why her son was willing to help a friend she had only known for a few days, saying that he was young and impulsive.

"Second brother, why do I feel a little unable to see through you?"

Chen Qiaoshan felt very innocent, "Mom, what did I do wrong?"

"Sometimes, you look like a fool, but sometimes, you look like an old man who is dozens of years old!"

Chen's mother's voice was not loud, but the three little girls who were enjoying the cool in the yard heard it, and they were all amused by Chen's mother's words, the laughter was crisp and pleasant, and it was very joyful on this midsummer night.

Chen Qiaoshan felt this joy, he was very happy, he wanted to always protect the Chen family and make them more comfortable.

He looked at the full moon in the sky, time is changing, but the moon has always been guarding there, he remembered a poem he had read before, if the sky is loved, the sky is old, the moon is full like no hatred, maybe God is also fair!
