Chapter 1: Afterlife
In the quiet afternoon, the slightly drunk warm breeze blows quietly, bringing the fragrance of wisps of flowers from the roadside in the distance, elegant and long, passing through the window, bringing a trace of late spring and early summer to this seemingly dead ward.
One-third pale green contrasts two-thirds of the snow-white walls, and the cold room has a bed in the middle and instruments on both sides of the bed, which is a standard single room. If it weren't for the slight sound of medical monitoring instruments operating, if it weren't for the human-shaped arc of the bedding on the hospital bed, and some strands of withered yellow hair scattered on the snow-white pillow, this ward would be as if there were no patients, and Su Li's breathing would have been imperceptible.
She did not fall into a deep coma as usual, perhaps it was the return to the last moment of her life, and Su Li felt unprecedented clarity. Her gaze lingered on the pale green and snow-white junction of the opposite wall, allowing her thoughts to spread.
The afternoon of late spring and early summer is a good time to rest from spring sleepiness, and no one will disturb her memories of her past life at this moment. Maybe after a while, after she dies, she wants to disturb those who are sleepy and resting, will she be scolded, she doesn't care, as long as they deal with her funeral according to the will arranged in advance, the money and goods are cleared, she pays enough, they have to keep their promises, this little credibility This large hospital still has.
She doesn't have any fear of death, and she doesn't have any reluctance for life. From the moment she received the hospital test sheet, she was ready to die. Perhaps for others, being seriously ill and dying is the most terrible thing for the sky to fall, but for Su Li, life has come to the present, and whether she can live or not has no meaning for her, and it is even a waste of resources.
Skinny, deep-set eyes, snow-blue face, sagging skin, yellow and sparse hair, this is her current appearance, she has not been able to eat for a while, and she relies purely on nutritional injections to maintain the last fire of life. If it weren't for the fact that her parents had forced her to make a vow before they died, if she had died in any form of unnatural death, their souls would never be at peace after death, and she had already rushed them out of this world that meant nothing to her when both parents left her.
She is very understandable and very incomprehensible, her parents are gone, and she is left alone to do anything in this world. She can understand that her parents' ardent hope for her, hoping that she will live well, that is their most selfless love for her. It's just a pity that she didn't have expectations for life fifteen years ago, and she didn't feel for life after her parents died. After receiving the hospital test order, she was even relaxed, because she could finally chase after her parents, this is a natural death, isn't it! She finally no longer has to live mechanically in this world, lonely and insensitive.
But to her surprise, it was not her heart that caused her to die, but her stomach that became cancerous first. Maybe it's not surprising, after all, she hasn't treated it well!
For this short life, she can only say that it was the unknown and mysterious heaven who made a joke. In her life, she can still be divided into two parts. In the first fifteen years, the popular point said that she was someone else's child, and the cheesy was the golden phoenix that was about to come out of the mountain nest, at that time she was strong and proud, full of yearning for a better life in the future, simple and shallow.
Su Li was born in a remote mountain village in S Province, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, the poor living conditions since childhood, the ardent expectation of her parents to become a phoenix, she understood early that if she wants to live a good life, she can only study hard, change her fate through knowledge, and be admitted to the big city, so that their family can get out of the poor mountain village and live a good life.
The conditions in the mountain villages are poor, the school requirements are not so strict, there are no kindergartens, and the number of students in grades 1 to 5 combined is not as large as that of a grade in a typical town. She is the only child in the family, her parents love her and spoil her, spoiling her who is a little willful by nature, and at the age of five, she asked her parents to send her parents to the only school in the neighborhood dozens of miles.
Her father, Su Zhiyuan, is a barefoot doctor in the neighborhood, and he has some friendship with the principal, and she is still quite taken care of at school. Maybe she still has a little bit of a smart mind that can be used for learning, the five-year grades of primary school are far ahead of other children, the fifth grade is promoted to junior high school, the results are outstanding, with the first grade in the county, she was specially recruited by the county's middle school to enter the county to study, tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, and living expenses are subsidized. With such benefits, she naturally went all the way, won the entrance examination, the first in the city, she was specially recruited by the provincial capital Jincheng Key High School into the key class training, and still got scholarships and subsidies!
If it has been like this, she will continue to develop step by step, maintain the heart of learning, university, graduate school, master's and doctoral studies, maybe she can still compete for the title of academic tyrant! It's a pity that there is no if in this world, fate played a joke with her, her fate turned into a fork in the road on the eve of the college entrance examination, and it was all overturned overnight, entering the second half of her life after fifteen years of vicissitudes.
has not been baptized by the wind and waves, and never knows the horror of setbacks, not to mention, she is just a greenhouse flower fed by a barren land.
She went to school early, that year, she stepped on the tail of fifteen years old to meet the upcoming college entrance examination, high confidence, strive for the pride of the provincial champion, with her grades at that time is not much risk, she has always been a good student in the eyes of the teacher, classmates reject the isolated children of other people.
She will always remember that day, which was the beginning of her last fifteen years. Since she stepped into the college entrance examination room, she was about to change her fate, completely flew away from the mountain nest, and turned into a golden phoenix has only a single digit left in the countdown, and the teachers began to appease the students' nervousness and announced that they would make adjustments during the holiday, she suddenly received a call from the village, first informing her that her mother was injured and sent to the county hospital, and the news that she was unconscious did not react, and another phone call told her that her father fell from the bench for help, fell and injured his leg while being strangled by the machine, and was sent to the county hospital for rescue!
At that moment, she only felt that the sky was falling. Her parents had always been the trees above her head, and she never imagined that one day, the two towering trees that protected her might fall. At that moment, she didn't have any reason, ran out of the school like crazy, went straight to the station, took the latest bus back to the county seat, and rushed to the county hospital
Without the protection of her parents, she experienced the horror and cruelty of society for the first time. The rural poor without any background are not paid for the construction site and do not pay any compensation for medical expenses. With no money, I couldn't pay for the hospital surgery, so I took out all my family savings, borrowed meager cash from my relatives in the village, and donated relief money from my teacher, so I could only temporarily pay the rescue deposit.
Her parents were orphans, and she had no relatives, and she begged everyone she knew, and borrowed a foreign debt from a relative in the village that was a huge amount of money plus interest for their collapsed family, and connected her father's arm and broken leg bone, so that he would not be physically disabled, but the arm had no effect, and the leg was lame and lost his labor.
Mom's injuries were lighter than Dad's, but she was in a coma with a head wound and bleeding, but not long after she woke up, she was falsely accused by the village thugs who had an argument with her and brought to the police station. In the end, the result of the coordination was that the family once again owed a huge amount of foreign debts, the fields were all compensated to others as collateral, and all the medicinal materials cultivated and collected by the father were taken away from the slightly valuable things in the family, and the mother was detained for half a month.
This half-month detention is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the mother with a traditional and strong personality, especially after receiving the news that her daughter missed the college entrance examination and her husband had an accident at the construction site. Since then, my mother has suffered from deep depression and autism, and if she doesn't pay attention to her mother, she will hurt herself.
When all the dust settles, the college entrance examination has long passed, all her ideas, all her pride, are all empty, the family is tired, her parents have lost their labor, and she is not qualified to go to school again. She didn't know how she had survived, perhaps the successive accidents had numbed her.
After her father recovered from his injuries and was able to move independently and take care of her unconscious mother, she left her hometown to enter a working life.
With no adulthood, no ID card, and no background education, she can only work in the dark, earn a meager income, find more jobs, and compress her rest time to earn more money. From a dishwasher in a small restaurant, a milkman selling milk, a newsboy delivering newspapers, to a weaver in a larger way, she does whatever she can do, day and night.
Part of her income is sent home as her mother's medical expenses and household expenses, and part of it is saved and sent back every year, in order to save money, she only eats one meal a day for a long time, and it is always the cheapest steamed bun, until she finds a job with lunch, she still has one meal a day.
It lasted for about five or six years, and she finally paid off her foreign debts, and she got used to eating a lot of food a day. Perhaps, it was at this time that she abused her stomach, which ended up tormenting her with cancer. But it doesn't matter, what matters is that the foreign debt is paid off, she has the extra money to take her parents to her, she rents a house nearby, she has a surplus income, she can send her mother to the doctor.
As time passed, after her mother was treated and gradually recovered, she accidentally found that her heart had a slight failure and could not stay in the factory, after she began to sell her handmade and incoming clothes from the stall, after her income was good, she had her own shop, and she had a house for herself and her parents, she thought that life was reversed, and God was joking with her again
When my mother thought it was good, in the gap when they didn't pay attention, when she was busy with the store business, my father went out to buy groceries and fell ill again to self-harm and cut his wrists and committed suicide, and was sent to the hospital for rescue and passed away.
If it weren't for her father and mother forcing her to make a heavy oath, she would probably have left after her father's affairs were done. However, her parents would not allow her to leave, and if she dared to commit suicide, they would never have peace after death. She didn't dare to take this risk, she worked day and night, she thought that in this case, her heart that had problems earlier would soon have bigger problems and take her away from the personnel, but unfortunately, God was still joking with her, she waited for three years, and heart failures again and again made her see the hope of dying, but her hope was shattered again and again, and even her career, her income continued to rise.
She lives mechanically, without hope, and without the motivation to reduce her life, forever pale and powerless. In the end, the hospital's stomach cancer test sheet allowed her to achieve her goal, sell the real estate and car shop brand, and in addition to leaving enough money to sustain her medical treatment and funeral in the last days of her life, she donated all her life income to a last credible charity to support the children who had the same ambition as her in the previous fifteen years, and achieve the pride she missed!
At the end of the body becoming cold, blurred vision, and the passage of vitality, she seemed to see under the old pear tree full of flowers in her hometown, in the most beautiful and gorgeous flower season, she swore loudly with a proud and simple voice, Abba and Grandma, Ah Li will definitely be admitted to Beijing University, Ah Li will definitely be the first, Ah Li will be the champion for you! Ah Li will definitely take you to live the best life!
There seemed to be a proud and doting voice of her parents in her ears, Ali Bao has always been the pride of Abba and Grandma!
There was a chuckle on her lips, and Su Li's face that she couldn't see clearly exuded an astonishing beautiful brilliance, and at this moment, her heart stopped beating, and the faint curves on the heart monitor all flattened, dropping This is the sound of the instrument alarm, and the messy footsteps come from far and near
