Chapter 25: To Win

"Lung cancer".

These two words remind me of the phrase "A good man does not live long and suffers for a thousand years."

Lao Zhang is definitely a good person, although he always gives me problems, and he will discipline me with a straight face at every turn, but I don't hate him at all, Lao Zhang is like an old hen, although he usually clucks, but he never hesitates to protect the chicks under his wings when there is a wind and grass, and he has been doing such things all his life.

Now Lao Zhang has lung cancer, but I can beat the machine provided by the stadium for the players to detect the weight of the box, and I can blow the blow pipe to measure the lung capacity and can't help it, of course, this may have something to do with the fact that I used to be a hooligan, although I am not a bad person, but I can definitely cause trouble, so I am a little worthless for Lao Zhang.

Baozi was still grinding hard with the little nurse, and the little nurse said sternly: "Do you know that the patient needs to rest for such a big operation tomorrow?" ”

At this time, the attending doctor poked his head out of the ward and asked, "Who is Xiaoqiang?" "Apparently the movement we made has alarmed the people inside.

I hurriedly said, "I'm me, I'm me." ”

The doctor said, "The patient has offered to see you, but not for too long." ”

Sister Zhang followed me in, but was stopped by the doctor: "The patient specially instructed me to see Xiaoqiang alone, and you stay outside." ”

Baozi pretended to be at ease and wanted to follow my ass to get by, but was pushed by the discerning doctor: "And you, get out!" ”

I said to Baozi, "Go buy something for Sister Zhang." ”

Baozi's eyes were red, and he shouted into the ward: "Teacher Zhang, I'm Xiao Xiang, take care of yourself." ”

The doctor waved her away and closed the door from the outside.

I saw Principal Zhang on the bed, I never thought that a person could lose so much weight in just half a month, Lao Zhang is now like a seriously shrunken toy, giving him a drill and a steel nail that can't be closed anywhere - he ran away with an eye.

The reason why I still have such joking thoughts is because Lao Zhang seems to be in a good mood, he is leaning, his hair has thinned like a lazy man's ridge, but he still looks at me with a smile, he pats the side of the bed and says, "Sit." ”

I sat down in front of him, and Lao Zhang asked in a domineering tone like Lao Tzu did to his son: "Entered the top 8?" ”

I wondered, "Do you still have time to watch TV?" ”

"The doctor doesn't let me see it much, and every day I ask my daughter to ask for the results and tell me."

I picked up an apple, lowered my head and peeled it, and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "At the beginning, I was waiting for you to report my funeral at any time, but who knew that you would go farther and farther, and I wanted to tell you and was afraid that you would be distracted, which was not a good thing." ”

“…… In fact, we have already entered the top 4. ”

Lao Zhang's eyes lit up: "What did Secretary Liu say, can you build a few buildings for us?" ”

"He said that if he made it to the top three, he would apply for a batch of funding from the city."

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "How are you preparing for the next game?" ”

I said humbly, "...... Not good, the opponent is strong. ”

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Don't be stressed, in fact, I was shocked to hear that you entered the top 8 than to know that I had advanced lung cancer." ”

This time, I was taken aback: "You know everything?" ”

Lao Zhang still smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of death, and besides, my body is my own, how can others deceive me?" ”

I handed him the peeled apple, and he said, "I can't eat right now." ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier?" I put the apple in my mouth and nibbled on it, and asked him, "What did you call me?" Baozi also wants to meet you. "I found that talking to someone who was terminally ill wasn't so heavy.

Lao Zhang suddenly fell silent, and said for a long time: "Actually, I just want to apologize to you." ”

"Apologize?" I wondered.

"Do you know why I'm helping you?"

“…… Is Baozi your illegitimate daughter? ”

Lao Zhang said with black lines in his head: "Can you be more serious when you talk to a person who is dying?" ”

I slapped the top of my head: "I'm a bastard." ”

Lao Zhang smiled: "I knew you were a bastard." ”

"That's why you helped me?"

Lao Zhang Zhengse said: "But I also know that you are a bastard with a good heart - in fact, it was very simple for me to help you at the beginning, just because you want to build a school, which is better than building a golf course, and then you said that the enrollment is all free before I decided to help you, although I still don't know what you want to do, but Xiao Yan told me, you are really good to those children." ”

I said, "Yan Jingsheng? ”

Lao Zhang nodded: "He said that although you don't go to school often and recruit a bunch of idlers as teachers, he can feel that your heart is hot, and you really confiscate anyone's tuition." ”

I pouted, "They have to be rich, too." ”

"At this time, there is a martial arts conference, and I think you are idle, so I signed up for you with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor."

I sighed: "There was no surprise at all, I guessed it." ”

"I knew that this was an opportunity, and I also knew a little bit of the insider, the country was going to build a martial arts training base, so my heart was moved."

I wondered, "What are you interested in?" ”

"Xiaoqiang, do you remember what I told you last time, I want to borrow a classroom from you and gather the children near Yao Village to hold a study class."

"Remember, what to borrow, you are our principal, and you can use it as you like when you leave the teaching building and dormitory building."

Lao Zhang shook his head: "That's why I apologize to you: I've only been thinking about those children, I just think that you can make a brick and a tile through this competition, I never thought that the competition would be injured, it would be embarrassing, I feel ashamed." ”

I wiped my sweat and said, "It seems that we people really didn't make a good impression on you, in fact, our people were rarely injured, and there was a danger that one guy was almost suffocated by an egg." ”

Lao Zhang still blamed himself and said: "I am a selfish person. ”

I suppressed the turmoil in my heart and deliberately gaged: "That's it, how can we live if everyone is as selfish as you?" I pretended not to care and asked, "Didn't I give 100,000 yuan per village to those villages?" ”

Lao Zhang smiled bitterly: "This money is not an official appropriation, can it be good in the hands of those soil emperors?" I had the heart to give all the money to the villagers to repair the house, and I almost took the money to run for activity funds and wanted to ask for more disaster relief money from above, and the bastard directly filled his own pocket. ”

I comforted him and said, "Then don't worry, I'll lend you all the teaching buildings, isn't it just a village child, and I have all the room and board." ”

Lao Zhang straightened up excitedly and said, "How long can you manage without the support of the government, can you manage the children outside the village?" ”

I was stunned and said, "Lao Zhang, your heart is big enough!" ”

Lao Zhang's face darkened again, and he said slowly: "Actually, even if you get into the top three this time, I am not sick, and I still can't solve any problems, but at least I can help a small number of children, they are still ......" I thought he could say something impassioned, but Lao Zhang just said weakly, "And I am their principal." ”

I also became gloomy, raising 300 is no way, to let me raise a large group of children, I have to find teachers for them, and I have to be responsible for their safety, whether it is from the energy or the economy I can't do it, I gave 1 million to the heroes, I am already poor and earn 1200 no different from before, the difference is that I used to earn 1200 a month I spent alone, and now I earn 12000 a day and hundreds of people help me spend.

Lao Zhang revealed this topic, changed his expression and said, "Tell me about you, how did you get into the top 8?" ”

I corrected him: "Top 4! ”

Lao Zhang said: "I said I didn't expect to have so many teams - there are nearly 200 teams, right?" I didn't expect you to make it to the top 8. ”

I continued to correct him: "Top 4! ”

Lao Zhang straightened his thinning hair and said: "Then you tell me what's going on, I heard that there are many strong teams in it, and I have also watched a few other people's games, and they are definitely all under the hands of real chapters, you just rely on a few wild roads to overcome obstacles?" ”

I looked down and nibbled on the apple, not knowing what to say. Lao Zhang is different from the chairman, I don't want to lie to him, let alone fool him, he has a lot of information.

Lao Zhang didn't wait for me to speak, and said: "I finally did a good thing before I died, and if you win tomorrow's game, it will also be good for the school." ”

I muffled and said, "We can't win tomorrow's game." "I don't think I can trample on the sustenance of a dying old man anymore as a joke.

"Why?" Lao Zhang has taught Chinese all his life, and of course understands the difference between "can't win" and "can't win".

I lowered my head again.

Lao Zhang seemed to see the crux of the problem at once, and he asked, "Who are the people who are helping you compete?" ”

“……”

"What can't be said?" Lao Zhang's words are very ridiculous, and the meaning is also very clear: What else is there to keep secret about a person who is about to die?

I said embarrassedly: "Don't say you're unhappy, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, and even tomorrow's anesthetic will be saved." ”

"Then save it!"

I steadied my mind before I said, "You know the 108 heroes of Liangshan......"

……

Ten minutes later, Lao Zhang stared at me stupidly.

I hurriedly waved my hand: "Don't believe it, you let me fart." ”

Lao Zhang picked up a piece of apple peel and threw it over, scolding: "Bastard boy, you saw that Lao Tzu was dying before telling me." ”

I was surprised, "You believe it?" ”

"I felt that something was wrong at the beginning, and those 300 students, I still remember a man named Wei Tiezhu, who said that he was a countryman, who was Yue Yun to give it?"

I nodded: "Yes, they are all Yue Fei's personal soldiers." ”

"If I wasn't dying, it would be really hard to believe, greet them for me and ask them to bring Marshal Yue well."

I smiled and said, "They won't see Yue Fei either." ”

"Those so-called teachers, the big black one is Li Kui, right?"

"Yes, he lost the first game, beat the opponent half to death, and the result was 0 points."

Saying that, Lao Zhang and I laughed together, and we talked for a while about the interesting stories of the heroes, and Lao Zhang asked me: "Even if this is the case, the game can be won." Lao Zhang grabbed me as if he remembered something, and said excitedly, "Yes, you can win, and when Yucai becomes a martial arts base cultivated by the state, you can also help those children, Xiaoqiang, please!" ”

I patted Lao Zhang's skinny hand lightly: "It's not like this, the heroes only have one year, including 300 Yue Jiajun, they are all the same, and they are all about to leave, after winning the game, when the time comes, the money will be allocated, and the students will be sent over, what should I do?" ”

Lao Zhang was stunned, his disappointment was overflowing, he withdrew his hand, and after another half a day, he said lightly: "You are right to do this." ”

I felt his disappointment and coldness, and stood up to say a few words of comfort, but I couldn't say anything, Lao Zhang waved his hand weakly at me: "You go, I'm tired." ”

I walked to the door and looked back one last time, Lao Zhang was already lying flat on the bed, thin as if he couldn't bear the weight of the quilt, and now even his spirit was sluggish.

I moved out of the door like a wooden pole, and Baozi ran up to me and asked, "What did Mr. Zhang say to you?" ”

I asked her, "What about Sister Zhang?" ”

"I'll tell her to go back to sleep and come back tomorrow morning."

I sat on the bench in the hallway, holding my head and not speaking, and the bun sat carefully next to me and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

I jerked my face and asked her, "Am I a jerk?" ”

Baozi said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

I continued to hold my head.

"But you're a pretty cool jerk sometimes."

is worthy of being a student taught by Lao Zhang......

In the middle of the night, Baozi fell asleep resting on my shoulder, and I stared at the opposite wall all night, my mind in a mess. By the time it was light, my entire eyeballs and eyelids were crimson, and I didn't move except for the occasional blink. I've been firmly on one thought: I'm doing it right, it's really right, it's absolutely right, and I think Lao Zhang will definitely understand my situation......

When Baozi opened her eyes, she was startled by me, and she shouted softly, "What are you doing?" "I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, I was woken up by a noise, looked up and saw that Sister Zhang had come, was helping a group of doctors and nurses to push Lao Zhang, Baozi looked nervously at the back, in order to maintain the best condition, Lao Zhang had inhaled pure oxygen, his eyes were rolling, obviously looking for someone, when he saw me, he finally stopped searching, he looked at me so fixedly, his pupils flashed as if he had something to say to me, I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and pressed it on him, he only wanted to say two words: child......

I couldn't hold back any longer, I jumped up, and I shouted at Lao Zhang: "Leave it to me, we won't lose!" ”

Lao Zhang nodded comfortably, he closed his eyes, and let others push him away without worry.

Looking at my watch again, it was already half past eight, and I ran out like crazy while pulling my coat, and the bun grabbed me: "Why are you going?" ”

"Lao Tzu is another cool one to show you!" I shook her off, rushed into the car like the wind, and it didn't take a few seconds to speed on the road, I called Zhu Gui and asked him, "Did the game start?" ”

Zhu Gui said: "Brother Lin Chong has already lost, and now Zhang Qing is fighting." ”

I yelled at him, "Let them win no matter what!" ”

Zhu Gui immediately gasped and said, "I heard you right, then we ...... after we leave."

I yelled, "Let those fuck them, I'm going to win now!" ”
