Before receiving that call, Chen Chuan was in the classroom discussing the solution of a math problem with Song Jia and Fang Ping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The three of them had three solutions, everyone firmly believed that they were right, and when they were fighting for red-faced, the head teacher appeared at the entrance of the classroom with an ugly face, and called Chen Chuan out, hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally said to him: "Chen Chuan, your family called to find you." ”

This sentence did not make Chen Chuan think too much, he also warned Song Jia and Fang Ping not to discuss in private before leaving, and when he came back, the three of them would analyze the topic together, the head teacher's ugly face - nervousness and sympathy were in it - did not make him the slightest alert, before this, Chen Aiguo had also called him many times like this, the difference was that sometimes he would call the dormitory phone, sometimes he would call the teacher's office phone.

Most of his attention was still on the math problem that he had not yet solved, and the rest was wandering around wondering what his father was calling him for—maybe just asking him how he was studying, whether he had enough money to spend, and how his health was, as he had done last time; Maybe tell him happily how much salary he got and how much he saved for his tuition...... Therefore, he did not expect that Chen Aiguo was not on the other end of the phone.

Until the third uncle Chen Xiangqian's nervous and frightened voice came from the microphone: "Chuan Wa'er! Your dad is not good! ”

A faint smile instantly froze at the corner of his mouth. Chen Chuan was even a little sluggish to find that the phone call was not from his father but from his third uncle, who was not very close, he was a little slow to fully react to the meaning of Chen Xiangqian's words, and then Chen Chuan immediately felt that the speed of his heart was almost stalling, and he had to bite his back molars to barely suppress the rapid heartbeat, and squeezed the voice out of his throat - hoarse and frightened that he had never noticed: "Third father! My old man!? ”

"Your old man was thrown at the construction site! Fall from the upper floor! Chen Xiangqian's voice was filled with endless panic, and he said very quickly: "Now let's take your old man to the hospital!" Come here! In the People's Hospital! ”

Then with a bang, the phone hung up, and a busy tone came from the receiver.

Chen Chuan mechanically put the microphone on the phone. He was in a daze for a while, and he couldn't react to the meaning of the third uncle's words just now. His dad fell from the stairs at the construction site!? Fool who!? His dad had just called him the other day!

He just stood in the office stupidly, and the teachers, who had already heard the clues, looked at him sympathetically.

Chen Chuan's homeroom teacher's surname is Qin, and he is their Chinese teacher. He was also startled when he first received Chen Xiangqian's call, but after all, he was an adult, and he had nothing to do with the person involved in the accident, so he reacted quickly. Chen Chuan was at a loss after answering the phone, and he asked cautiously: "Chen Chuan, what happened to your father?" ”

Chen Chuan's eyes finally focused, and he fell on Teacher Qin, who looked worried, and his originally numb body eased up a little-his feet immediately became weak and couldn't stand, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Teacher Qin was startled and quickly pulled him to a chair and sat down.

"My dad, my dad fell from the upstairs......" Chen Chuan looked at the head teacher in disbelief, as if he had only now fully understood this fact, his lips kept trembling, his face was pale, and he muttered to himself as if he was saying it to himself: "My dad...... Something happened to my dad. ”

Teacher Qin gasped, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly asked, "Where is your dad now?" He also advised Chen Chuan: "You have to be calm, calm down, don't think about messy things, what if your father is fine?" After all, you are not at the scene, and now you are starting to panic and scare yourself. ”

The head teacher's attitude gave Chen Chuan a reassurance, he took deep breaths again and again, and gradually calmed down, and then the first thing he thought of after calming down was: he must go to his father's side immediately.

"I'm going to the hospital." Chen Chuan controlled himself not to tremble, he spoke slowly, his fingers nervously twisted the corners of his clothes, his knuckles were so hard that they turned white, and his eyes lit up, "Teacher Qin, I will take a few days off, I will go to the hospital to see my father immediately." ”

Teacher Qin hurriedly pulled the fake slip and scribbled the fake for him, thought about it, and then pulled out a few hundred yuan from the wallet and stuffed it into Chen Chuan's hand without saying anything, and said resolutely: "You take the money first, and wait until you get to the hospital." ”

Chen Chuan was unwilling and powerless now, and he didn't have time to refuse, he could only nod gratefully, and then turned around and ran out.

Teacher Qin grabbed him: "Fake note!" Note! ”

Boarding students are not allowed to leave the school without a false note.

After that, Chen Chuan really couldn't remember what he did. I have the impression that he ran directly to the school gate when he got out of the office, and was almost stopped by the doorman, but fortunately he was not completely confused, handed in the fake note and rushed out, and took the initiative to take a taxi for the first time in his life, and rushed to the long-distance bus station as quickly as possible, all of which he completed within an hour, and when he got on the passenger bus to the county, he found that the back of his shirt had been wet with sweat, and his whole person was as wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He rubbed his sweaty palms against the edge of his pants, feeling fear and helplessness for the first time. Chen Chuan didn't dare to imagine what he would do if something really happened to his father, no, it should be him and his mother Li Qiuping what they would do. In the past, Chen Chuan did not believe in the clay carving of the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple, but today he couldn't help but pray sincerely to the gods and Buddhas for his father in his heart.

On that hot afternoon, the teenager Chen Chuan sat in the car in a daze, watching the scenery outside the window fly by, the blazing sun illuminated everything white, and the high heat made the window glass still look warm even if it was cooled by air conditioning. His mind was in turmoil, imagining the worst and pessimistic endings, on the one hand, he kept telling himself to think in an optimistic direction in everything, on the other hand, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of that early morning many years ago, his sister's blue and stiff face, the dead look, his crying mother and his angry and screaming father.

He suddenly couldn't tell where the separation between reality and memory was. Originally, he thought that death could tell him between the past and the present, but this afternoon, Chen Chuan suddenly began to question the code that he had believed in: a new death was likely to come to the family again, and at that time, how could he tell himself that the past and the present had nothing to do with each other.

After the opening of the expressway, the driving distance between the city and the county seat was greatly shortened. It took less than an hour for him to rush to the hospital in the sun. Those sentimentality, fears, and worries that were out of step with the times were temporarily forgotten by him, and now Chen Chuan ******** rush to the ward that the third uncle said.

The third uncle Chen Xiangqian was anxiously turning around in front of the operating room, Chen Chuan strode towards him and didn't notice it, or another Chen Aiguo's cousin saw Chen Chuan, called Chen Xiangqian before he woke up, and greeted his nephew with a sad face: "Chuan baby, you came so fast." ”

Chen Chuan was panting and sweating profusely, he hurriedly said hello to a few elders, and before he had time to say more, he asked Chen Xiangqian directly: "Third uncle, what's going on with my father?" ”

Chen Xiangqian sighed, pulled Chen Chuan, and the uncle and nephew walked to the secluded corridor one after the other. Chen Xiangqian found a step and sat down, took a little cigarette, took two puffs, stretched out his hand and raked his hair, and began to tell the story with a tired expression: "I and your old man are on the same construction site," he turned his head to look at Chen Chuan: "You know, right?" ”

Chen Chuan simply sat down on the stairs under his uncle's head, and snorted when he heard the words.

"Your old man's carpentry is good, the construction site has been very busy these days, calling your old man to go upstairs to get plywood, but a plagued hama batch (fool) poured cement board to remove the partition from the old one, and there was not even a guardrail outside." Speaking of this, Chen Xiangqian became angry and scolded so much that his saliva splashed: "**** Immortal Banban, that Ha Ma Pi took the board, and your old man just went to get a splint, he thought there was a board outside, so he leaned directly to the side, oh Huo." ”

Chen Chuan was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

Chen Xiangqian was obviously angry, he scolded excitedly and said: "That Ha Ma Pi, I saw your father falling, I was shocked, fortunately, the building is not high, just three floors, and below is a work shed, your old man fell on the roof of the shed, blocked it, and sat up at that time, so he said that his feet hurt, his chest hurts, and the boss quickly shouted to send him to the hospital." ”

He sighed and continued with palpitations: "Second brother is really fateful, really fateful!" ”

Chen Chuan's heart finally let go of mid-air. He gasped twice and said sullenly, "I heard it at school, and I was almost killed!" ”

Chen Xiangqian lit a cigarette and took two puffs before he spoke: "I talked to the boss just now, and he said that your father's accident at the construction site, at least the current medical expenses must be taken at the construction site, and the follow-up expenses will ......" He glanced at his nephew meaningfully, flicked off the ashes of the cigarette, he stood up, and said to Chen Chuan before going out: "I'm afraid it's not easy to say." Chuan Wazi, you'd better think about it now, and you have to do it. ”

Chen's surgery was finally over a few hours later. Rib fractures are still a trivial matter, and comminuted fractures of the lumbar vertebrae are the biggest problem. And things like abrasions, cuts, etc., are not worth mentioning at all. The boss of Chen Aiguo's construction site showed up once, paid the deposit and the first medical bill, said hello to Chen Chuan and left in a hurry.

Because of anesthesia, Chen Aiguo is still in a coma. The doctor looked at Chen Chuan in embarrassment and asked him again, "Didn't your mother come?" ”

Chen Chuan shook his head: "My mother is also a patient. Not wanting to say more, his expression was tired and heavy, and he smiled bitterly at the doctor and said, "Doctor, I am the only one in my family." ”

The doctor looked at him sympathetically, shook his head, looked down at the medical records in his hand, raised his head and told him seriously: "You really have to find an adult, you can't take care of your father alone, or you can find a nurse directly in the hospital." Your father has a comminuted fracture of the lumbar vertebrae, and he is lucky not to be paralyzed, but follow-up treatment and care are very important, which is related to the patient's recovery," he looked at Chen Chuan's eyes: "You are still a student, right?" High school or college? ”
