Chapter 46: Inclusion
"Hey, who are you?"
After Li Bai dialed the phone, he heard an old voice from the other side, and although he was a little puzzled, he still asked politely, "Hello!" I'm Li Bai. You've called me before, who are you? ”
"Oh, you're Xiao Li, your phone is really hard to call." The other party said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, my phone was out of battery before. Who are you? Li Bai was very puzzled, he didn't know what this person was doing.
"Well, look, it's so old and confused, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mo Gu, a professor of history at Huaxia University. The other party suddenly came to his senses, and then said gently.
"It turned out to be Professor Mo, I have admired him for a long time! Is there anything you can do with me? Although he was very puzzled by the other party's search for him, he still asked politely, after all, the other party had helped him in meager things before.
"That's right, we at Huaxia University would like to invite you to attend the annual meeting of Chinese literature held in our school on New Year's Day. What do you think? Mogu said expectantly.
"Professor Mo, I'm so sorry, the station has been busy lately, so I may not have time then." Li Bai politely refused. He does have a lot of things, and he still has to plan for the Spring Festival Gala, Jiaqi and Ruoxi's illness must also be treated as soon as possible, and several program groups have to run back and forth. What's more, he is not too interested in such a literati gathering.
"Xiao Li, the annual literary meeting is held in Yanjing, and it won't waste much of your time. This time, the elite of Chinese literature from all over the world will come, and there will be a few competitions yet, and we would like to invite powerful young people like you to participate. After all, we are at home, and it would be embarrassing to lose. This is also about the face of our country. Mogu sincerely invited again.
"Well, well, I agreed!" Li Bai hesitated for a while, but still agreed. After all, Professor Mo had helped him, and he had personally called to invite him, and he had mentioned the face of the country, and it would be hypocritical to refuse again.
"Haha, I knew you would agree, and I would have someone send you an invitation tomorrow." Mogu said with a smile, looking very happy.
"I have something to do on a business trip now, you can send it to the station and hand it over to my assistant."
"Oh, okay." ……
After the two chatted and hung up the phone, Mo Gu couldn't wait to dial Professor Xu Da's phone: "Old Xu, I have contacted Li Bai, he has already agreed." We can take a good look at him at the conference and see how much he is capable of. Haha......"
……
However, all this Li Bai does not know. After the students got out of school, he went to the village store with Liang Wen to buy a few barrels of instant noodles, some chicken feet, peanuts, and a few bottles of beer. When I got back to school, I quickly soaked in a bucket of instant noodles. He was also hungry, and when he got off the train in the morning, he didn't have time to eat all day because he was in a hurry, and his stomach was almost hungry, so he ate three buckets of instant noodles in a row to feel better. Liang Wen, who was watching it, was dumbfounded, thinking: Marshal Tianpeng in Brother Bai's "Journey to the West" will not be based on himself.
waited until about ten o'clock in the evening to see Bai Tao hurriedly walking in from outside the school.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm late. The family wouldn't let them out, so I slipped out while they were asleep. Bai Tao said apologetically.
"It's okay, come and sit. Have a drink together. Li Bai said and took out the chicken feet, peanuts, and beer he bought and put them on the table.
Li Bai opened the wine bottle, poured it for both the two of them and himself, and then said, "Bai Tao, now tell me what is the situation between your family and Ruoxi?"
"Actually, Sister Ruoxi should be the second. Because in the past, the older generation favored sons over daughters, and the family was also poor at that time, and they couldn't support themselves. Sister Ruoxi gave it away when she was four months old, and there was no phone at that time, and then she cut off contact. Bai Tao said.
Li Bai took a sip of wine and didn't interject, waiting for him to continue.
"Sister Ruoxi also found us in the past few years. After so many years, everyone's feelings have faded, and there is almost no family affection. But she was really nice to us, often coming to see her family, buying this and that. When she was sick, my father and I wanted to help Sister Ruoxi, but my grandfather, mother, and eldest sister were all against it. They have heard that donating bone marrow is to pull the bone marrow out of the bone, and it also affects the nervous system, and everyone thinks it is a very scary thing. I was afraid that we would be in danger, so I refused directly. And I heard that the cost of treatment is also very high, and the family can't afford it. The family also felt guilty about this. ”
"Later, I don't know how the matter got out, many netizens were doxxing us, and reporters often blocked our work and residence to interview us. The unit leader was also afraid of getting into trouble, so he fired us, and we didn't have the face to stay in that place anymore, so we had to come back first. The family thinks that all this is caused by Sister Ruoxi, so they only hate her. Bai Tao said the whole thing calmly, and there was no added fuel and vinegar, and he also had deep remorse in his heart every time he thought about it, he really wanted to help Ruoxi, but his words had no effect at home. ……
After Li Bai listened, he couldn't calm down for a long time. The mood is very complicated, obviously Ruoxi did not tell her relatives that she is a rich lady, and there is no need to worry about the cost of medicine. It is estimated that she is also afraid that her relatives will be estranged if they know, she is so kind that she can't bear to hurt anyone. Maybe that's why I love her so much.
However, thinking of the desperation between their relatives, I still feel a little chilled. Although it was not raised by his own hands, after all, blood is thicker than water. He always thought that such things would only appear in novels or TV series.
Li Bai has never understood why this is all about?
When I used to be an otaku, I often saw a lot of similar things on the Internet. There was a five-year-old boy who had leukemia and had to have a bone marrow transplant. Fortunately, his parents' bone marrow could be matched, and the doctor recommended his father's first, and his father agreed. The boy was given high doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to deliberately destroy the immune system so that he would not be rejected by the body after a new bone marrow transplant. After the child's high-dose chemotherapy, the immune system was completely destroyed, and he waited for his father's bone marrow to make blood, but who would have expected that the father would regret it. After high-dose chemotherapy, the child couldn't wait for his mother's donation, which also made him miss the only chance to survive, and finally had to leave this world in regret. He still can't figure out why his father is so ruthless?
He didn't expect that something similar could happen to him. He was speechless now, and he still felt deep pity for Ruoxi.
"Bai Tao, in fact, you are wrong! In today's medicine, bone marrow transplantation can only be regarded as a minor operation, and there is no need to be hospitalized. And now in addition to some types of leukemia that require bone marrow transplantation, other people can directly donate hematopoietic stem cells, which is similar to donating blood, which does not harm the body much, and it will be fine after a few days of rest, and some physical immunity will decline, but it will return to the previous state in half a year at most. After listening to Bai Tao's story, Liang Wen finally figured out what happened to Ruoxi. is also helpless, and can't help but eliminate illiteracy for Bai Tao.
"Huh? Are you sure? Bai Tao said in surprise.
"I can still lie to you, I don't believe you read it on the Internet. Liang Wen said as he took his computer from the table, searched for a thousand degrees of encyclopedia, and showed Bai Tao some explanations on the expert forum.
"Well, the family should agree. If not, I'll secretly donate with you. Bai Tao said to Li Bai, but he was not too sure about convincing his family, and most of the old man's thoughts were stubborn.
"Bai Tao, it's okay. I'll go to your house again tomorrow, and I'll have to explain this to your family. I don't want your family to have a conflict over this. You go back first, I want to be quiet first. Li Bai smiled forcefully and said.
"Okay then, brother-in-law, I'll go back first." Bai Tao saw that Li Bai was in a bad mood, so he had no choice but to go back first.
"Brother Bai, are you okay?" Liang Wen said with concern.
"It's okay, I'll go out and be quiet." Li Bai walked to a classroom alone, found a stool casually, and sat down quietly.
Liang Wen followed, and after watching it for a while, he was helpless, so he could only go back to the office first.
Li Bai sat until the next morning, and finally figured everything out, and his body was relieved. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so why blame them, everyone's circumstances are different, and their thoughts and views on things are different, so why use their own moral code to restrain others? What's more, Ruoxi herself didn't blame them, and she should also learn to be tolerant. And they just lack knowledge and solidify their thinking, in fact, they can't complain about them. In fact, many people are the same as them, if we can change the thinking and understanding of leukemia among these people, I believe that there will be many people with leukemia in the future to get a greater chance of survival.
Besides, the most important thing for him is to cure Ruoxi's illness, and he should pay some price.
Thinking of this, Li Bai walked into Liang Wen's office and found that he was crawling on the desk, heard the sound of himself opening the door, and lifted up.
"Liangzi, I'm sorry to worry you. You haven't slept all night, have you? Li Bai said with a smile, and didn't say anything grateful, sometimes the friendship between men doesn't need to say this.
"Brother Bai, you're fine. That's great! "Seeing Li Bai's half-dead appearance yesterday, he was really worried. Now I see that Li Bai's mood has returned to normal, and he is also happy.
"Okay, wash your face first. I'll go to town to buy some gifts, and then I'll go to Bai Tao's house. Li Bai said.
"Brother Bai, I'll accompany you later."
"Don't you have a class today? I'll just go myself. ”
"It's okay, another teacher will come today, just ask him to help watch the students for a while. It won't take much time anyway. Liang Wen insisted.
"Well, well. Let's wash up first. ”
