Chen Chuan hesitated for a while, but still lowered his head and said honestly: "High school." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He added in a low voice: "Senior year." ”

The doctor's eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He hesitated for a while, and finally spoke tactfully, and asked first, "What's your name?" ”

"Chen Chuan."

"That, Chen Chuan." The doctor first introduced himself: "My surname is Liu, and I am your father's attending doctor. Your father's injury didn't take three or four months to get out of bed. You're in your senior year of high school, and you're studying so hard -- by the way, where is your school? ”

"City." Chen Chuan replied, and then quickly explained: "I know, but there is really no one at home." ”

in the city. Dr. Liu's eyes on the boy were suddenly a little complicated. Children from peasant families can go to school in the city, and their grades and talents must be first-class, and he also has children in high school at home. Regardless of this factor, if Chen Chuan came to take care of his father, he would definitely not be able to go to school in a short time, in the county and the city, after all, there are nearly 100 kilometers in the middle, even if it is a highway, it is an hour.

Doctor Liu's tone was more gentle: "Chen Chuan, you have also seen your father's situation, it is really inseparable from people, and it is not a day or two, you have to spend a month in the hospital, you are now in your third year of high school, and your studies are also tight, how can you come back in time?" Listen to my uncle's words, or ask a nurse from the hospital, come back to see your father when you have time, and usually call the elders in your family to come and help. ”

After saying this, he told a few more words of medical advice, and Dr. Liu said that he would go directly to the office to find him if there was something, and then took the nurse and doctor to continue to patrol the room.

Chen Chuan stood there in a daze, he knew that the doctor was kind, but he had also inquired about the price of the nurse before, and calculated that fifty a day, one end a week, and one thousand and a half a month--at the beginning of the two thousand years, the average salary in the inland cities in the southwest was only that--Chen Aiguo liked to show Chen Chuan how much money he had saved in the passbook of the small red notebook--five thousand six--all the savings of the Chen family.

But today, Chen Aiguo's injury and medicine expenses will be more than 3,000, and the construction site boss still has a conscience, and greeted Chen Chuan and said that the medical expenses are given by the construction site to seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent is responsible for the careless worker, but where did the worker get the money? Which of the migrant workers on the construction site is not so poor that it rings? Chen Chuan went to the hospital and met the other party, the man was the same as his father Chen Aiguo, his face was wooden and clumsy, his eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, and he said that he would definitely pay Chen Aiguo money, but he had to let him be allowed for a few days - his family was also old and young.

Dr. Liu also calculated the account for him, and the fragmentary Chen family still had to prepare more than 10,000 yuan, after all, Chen Aiguo injured his waist, which was a fatal place. A little further down, don't think about standing up in this life.

Money is like a huge grinding plate pressed on Chen Chuan's back, he sat in front of Chen Aiguo's bed, silently calculating the cost in his heart - the medical expenses must be paid a few thousand first, he is now in his third year of high school, and it is also the time to spend money, if there is no such thing, Chen Aiguo also told him that he will increase his living expenses from this semester, and there are ...... Chen Chuan's face turned pale, and he bit his lip stubbornly - because the school had not officially started, he had not yet paid the tuition.

After many years, Chen Chuan thought about it and sighed that how could it be so bitter and difficult at that time. Chen Aiguo works as a carpenter on the construction site, works at eight o'clock in the morning, gets off work at six o'clock in the evening, encounters a rush, lights the xenon headlights and does all-nighters, he has good craftsmanship, people are real, eat technical meals, and only get more than 1,000 in a month. In the early years of the 2000s, especially in the southwest inland, labor was really worthless.

The third year of high school had just begun, and Chen Chuan had to seriously start thinking about the possibility of dropping out or taking a leave of absence. As soon as he thought of this, he shivered like a sieve of chaff, and the weather of the autumn tiger was cold.

Chen Xiangqian sent the people on the construction site back, and saw Chen Chuan sitting in front of Chen Aiguo's hospital bed with his head hanging down and his soul lost, and the whole person was very depressed. He thought about it, sighed, pinned the cigarette to his ear, walked over and whispered to Chen Chuan: "Chuan baby, you come out with me." ”

Chen Chuan followed his uncle out top-heavy. Walking to the nearby corridor, Chen Xiangqian stood still, turned around and asked him, "Chuan Wazi, do you have any ideas?" ”

Idea? What could he think? He wanted his father to heal well and not fall to the root of the disease; He wanted to go back to school, worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up; He was worried about Chen Aiguo's medical expenses, and worried that his mother Li Qiuping would have no one to take care of him. These things that should not have been his concern now occupy every corner of Chen Chuan's mind, mixed together, and for a while, Chen Chuan couldn't even say what he was thinking.

After a long time, he reluctantly spoke: "I'm thinking about the old man's illness." ”

Chen Xiangqian nodded with a heavy face, he silently touched a cigarette out, took out a lighter from his trouser pocket and lit it, took a puff, and then said, "You old man will spend a lot of money this time." ”

Chen Chuan didn't speak.

Chen Xiangqian smoked straight away, he fell into his own thinking, and counted the accounts one by one: "I was taken off 3,000 today, but fortunately I still admit the account on the construction site, otherwise what should you do with the old man?" I asked the doctor, it costs a lot of money, do you know what he said? Shout at the house and get the money ready! What does this mean? That's how much money you spend......"

Chen Chuan said sullenly: "I'm not afraid of spending money, but Dad can't have anything." ”

Chen Xiangqian looked at his nephew with pity, he hadn't seen this child for a while, compared with the last time, Chen Chuan seemed to have grown a little taller, the blue T-shirt hung on him empty like a burlap bag, the leg pole was as thin and long as two hemp poles, and he was so thin that he didn't have a few taels of meat, Chen Aiguo chatted with him on the construction site, always saying that Chen Chuan studied hard, and now I look at it, I'm afraid it's really hard.

It is indeed not easy for Chen Aiguo to be. Chen Xiangqian thought of the pile of rights and wrongs in his cousin's family, thought of his niece who died early, and thought of his brother and daughter-in-law who are not a good person now, he thought, just like that, Chen Aiguo must also have Chen Chuan study, what is the use of reading? The eldest in his family, he went to Shenzhen to work at the age of sixteen, and now he has a salary of more than 2,000 a month, and he has to send more than 10,000 yuan back to his family in a year, what about Chen Chuan now? It costs more than 10,000 yuan a year!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiangqian extinguished his cigarette on the stairs, and said to Chen Chuan in a consultative tone: "Chuan baby, what are you planning to do now?" ”

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "Let's get the old man's medical expenses back first." "Other...... He really couldn't do anything better.

Chen Xiangqian sighed: "You must take the money first." After thinking about it, he couldn't hold back after all, and said to his nephew: "Chuan Wa'er, I know that you think your third uncle hasn't read a lot of books and is not a cultural person." But today you listen to your third uncle's advice, now you look like this, Chuan Wa'er, you are still sitting in that classroom? ”

Chen Chuan was stunned, and an unbelievable guess floated in his mind.

Chen Xiangqian continued to take care of himself: "Don't blame the third uncle for talking too much, Chuan Wa'er, you are also seventeen or eighteen years old and twenty years old, you look at your brother and they, after graduating from junior high school, they went out to work, and now they don't take one or two hundred thousand yuan to the house every year, you have a difficult roof, Chuan Wa'er, you old man used to be able to afford you, and now, you old man is in this situation, I'm afraid it's embarrassing." ”

"I know you're sensible, Chuan Wa'er, anyway, you have a good personal life to think about, your third uncle is good for you, and what he said didn't coax you."

Chen Xiangqian didn't stay long, waited until Chen Aiguo finally woke up, said a few words to Chen Aiguo, and left in a hurry, there are still a lot of things on the construction site, he can stay here all the time because he wants to help Chen Chuan deal with Chen Aiguo's affairs, now that Chen Aiguo is awake, he naturally has to hurry back.

The effect of the anesthetic is still there, Chen Aiguo spoke very hard, he asked Chen Chuan vaguely why he was here, Chen Chuan dipped a cotton swab in water and applied it to Chen Aiguo's mouth according to the doctor's instructions, and when he heard his father asking, he whispered in his ear that it was the third uncle Chen Xiangqian who called him.

Chen Aiguo became angry all of a sudden, he barely held his weak hand and slapped it on Chen Chuan's head, and said with great difficulty: "You, isn't you, no, go to school?" ”

Chen Aiguo is the king of heaven in front of Chen Chuan, and after more than ten years of accumulation, Chen Chuan's face turned pale and nodded, and he didn't dare to speak.

Chen Aiguo gasped and jumped out word by word: "You give, I, go back to school!" ”

Chen Chuan bit his lip desperately to prevent the cry from leaking out of his throat. He didn't dare to look at Chen Aiguo, he couldn't speak, but he shook his head stubbornly.

Chen Aiguo is still very weak now, the person who suffered a major crime and had surgery, he scolded Chen Chuan for two sentences and was panting, sweating all over his body, very uncomfortable. Chen Chuan remembered that the doctor said that Chen Aiguo must recuperate after waking up, "especially don't let him move, and don't let the patient's mood fluctuate too much." ”

Chen Aiguo's chest rose and fell violently, Chen Chuan came over to wipe his mouth with a cotton swab, he laboriously raised his hand to open his son together, and pointed to the door tremblingly and said, "You, immediately, go back, school." ”

Chen Chuan didn't dare to speak, but he resolutely didn't leave, just stood in front of Chen Aiguo's bed and shook his head desperately.

Chen Aiguo almost went crazy. The dull pain in his chest and waist was very uncomfortable, but fortunately he still had a feeling in his legs, and he heard that it was easy to be paralyzed when he injured his waist. He knew that he had been in a huge panic after he fell on his waist, and Chen Aiguo did not recover until he had surgery and confirmed that his legs were still felt.

Then he was almost angry with his son Chen Chuan.

He has never reasoned with children, and he can't make any sense. When Chen Chuan's sister Zhao Di was still there, the two sisters and brothers made mistakes, Chen Aiguo was beaten, the only difference may be that Zhao Di is a daughter, Chen Aiguo spanked when she was a child, and when she grew up, she said two words at most, Chen Chuan boys don't have to worry about these, from childhood to adulthood, Chen Chuan's memory is that Chen Aiguo's two sentences are not right, and he will beat him with his head and face.
