Chapter 368, Fever
This emotion continued until Dongguan Town, and I didn't even say goodbye to my beautiful sister, so I got out of the car slowly. Stepping on this familiar land again, I no longer have the state of mind I had when I was expelled for the first time, I don't have the heart to hurt the spring and autumn again, I just want to go home early to rest, and I feel that my body is really going to cross at any time. On the way, I ran into a few junior high school classmates who had bullied me before, and I pulled the steel pipe out of my bag almost reflexively, and then looked at them gloomily. But in fact, I know dร o myself, and now my body can't get up if I am pushed casually.
Unexpectedly, they immediately shrank to the side of the road, and they didn't even dare to look at me, let alone come and bully me again. With the steel pipe in my hand, I staggered in the direction of home. When I came to the door of the house, a peach blossom tree was blooming, I sat on the stone under the tree, gasped for a while, hid the steel pipe between a branch on the tree, and then carried my bag and walked into the house. My mother was heating a pot of boiling water on the stove when she saw me come in and was startled: "Haohao, why are you back?" I put my bag on the ground and whispered, "Fired." Not daring to look at my mother's expression, I went straight to my bedroom, spread out the quilt and lay down to sleep. I haven't slept well for seven days and seven nights in a row, and with the injuries I suffered in a fight some time ago, my body is like a machine that will fall apart at any time, and I don't know what kind of perseverance I have relied on to survive to this day.
I vaguely heard my mother packing up the contents of my bag, vaguely heard the gentle chil of the teapot on the stove, and vaguely heard the sound of the wind whirring outside the window...... I'm finally home, and I'm finally able to get a good rest...... I shrunk my whole body into the quilt and covered it tightly from head to toe, as if that would give me a sense of security. Now I should be exhausted, I can fall asleep next to the pillow, but I can't sleep in the bed, my mind still keeps flashing back to the scene of that night of heavy snow, after the gunshot, the world is silent, and a figure slowly falls in front of me......
This scene kept repeating and flashing back in my mind, and it was not something I could control at all. I shrunk under the quilt, hoping that I would fall asleep as soon as possible, but I was always half-asleep and half-awake, and my whole person was also chaotic. I don't know how long later, my mother called me at the bedside: "Haohao, get up and eat, eat and sleep." I was in a daze under the covers and said, "No." And then he shrunk into his own little world. Before I knew it, it seemed to be back to that snowy night, and the snowflakes were drifting and drifting, but I was the only one running in the snow, as if I wanted to catch something but couldn't.
Finally, I let go, stopped, and squatted in the snow. It seemed like I was the only one left in the whole world, and the snowflakes almost covered my body. It's so cold, I'm shivering. In the snow, of course it's going to be cold, I thought. I should go home, it won't be cold when I get home. But I remember, wasn't I already at home? Why is it still so cold?
I collapsed in the snow, cold from the inside out, and my teeth chattering. Someone seemed to be approaching, slamming away a piece of snow overhead, a warm hand close to my forehead, and then my mother's panicked voice sounded: "It's so hot, you have a fever!" "That's when I realized I had a fever, no wonder I was so cold. My mother quickly found antipyretic medicine and told me to take it with warm water, so I was asked to lie down again and put a wet towel on my forehead.
My body was still shivering, and I was chilling from the inside out. Every once in a while, my mother went to soak the towel and came back and put it on my forehead. Before I knew it, I was asleep again, and my mother seemed to have been by my side all night. At dawn, I still felt cold, and I was swinging all over my body, like a sheep seizure. The mother was frightened and hurriedly went out to find a doctor. The doctor was from a nearby clinic, and the surrounding residents went to him for a minor illness. When he saw me like this, he first took my temperature and said, "It's almost 39 degrees." He gave me an injection, said to see the situation again, and packed up his things and left.
After half a day, my body still did not improve at all, and there seemed to be signs of aggravation. The mother panicked and called the doctor again. The doctor took his temperature again, and said with a little panic: "It's almost forty degrees, let's send it to a big hospital quickly." "My mother couldn't carry me, so she went to ask Yuchengfei's mother for help. Yumu went to the neighbor's house to find an uncle, and then I was sent to the hospital in the town. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me and said, "It's a disease caused by overwork." Yumu asked strangely beside him: "He is a child, what kind of work does he have?" No one asked him to work. The doctor said, "Not only physically, but also psychologically, don't look at him as a child, I guess we haven't been through it." Okay, it's important to treat the disease, send him back to the ward first. โ
By this time I had already started talking nonsense, and according to my mother's later recollection, my mouth was full of: "Kill, kill him." โ
After losing more than an hour of water, the fever finally slowly decreased, not as bad as before, but it was not completely subsided. I always had a low-grade fever, hovering around 38 degrees, and I was delirious all the time, and a few times I opened my eyes and asked, "Where is my steel pipe?" "My mother also said that I was talking nonsense, and I didn't take it to heart at all.
After three or four days, the low-grade fever never went away, and my mother had no choice but to call my father back. My father smelled of sweat and had just returned from the construction site to the hospital. He put his hand on my forehead and said suspiciously, "Don't burn?" The mother said, "It is a low-grade fever." My father said, ", I don't think it burns, maybe the thermometer is broken." Then he pulled out the infusion needle on the back of my hand, pulled me up, and asked me seriously: "Son, can you resist it?" โ
I nodded in confusion. The father smiled: "That's right, what is this low-grade fever, just go out for a walk." Then, despite my mother's dissuasion, she dragged me out of the hospital. I was weak and weak, and I didn't take two steps before I broke out in a sweat. My father took me two steps and finally pulled me to a mutton soup shop, where he shouted to the boss, "Bring me a big bowl of mutton soup, and put a lot of pepper in it!" After a while, the boss brought a bowl of mutton soup and put it on the table.
My father patted me on the shoulder and said, "Drink, drink it all in one go!" "I really haven't eaten well in the past few days, and I'm really hungry. I took the mutton soup and devoured it, eating all the haggis inside. After drinking, I sweated a lot, and I couldn't say how comfortable I was. My father asked me, "Are you still drinking?" I said, "Drink." The father turned back and said, "One more bowl!" โ
I drank three bowls in a row, and my stomach really couldn't hold it anymore. The mother complained beside her: "If you drink too much sheep soup, don't let Haohao drink it." The father waved his hand and said, "What do you know, do you see if your son is much better now?" My mother looked at me carefully and said, "I am indeed more energetic than before." "I feel a little covered on my head and a little soft on my feet, but I do feel much better than when I was in the hospital. Father waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go home and fry two more side dishes!" โ
No matter how poor or difficult the family was, my father was always calm and optimistic. As soon as he got home, the home was much more stable, and even my low-grade fever didn't need to be cured. When I got home, my mother fried a few dishes, and my father brought the wine again. The mother was anxious: "My son has just recovered from illness, don't you let him drink bar?" My father asked me, "Son, do you drink?" I said, "I'll drink." The father said, "The minority obeys the majority." Come, let's drink. "Mother can't help it. After three glasses of wine, my father asked me, "Are you fired again?" โ
I lowered my head and said with shame, "Yes." Zhengzhun Bรจi listened to his father's reproach, but his father laughed: "Hahaha for the second time? The mother said angrily beside her: "My son has been fired, why are you so happy?" "I also looked at my father in amazement, he couldn't be laughing at me. The father said: "I'm a joke about Chenggao and North Seven Miles, and I put such a good student as our son into the city, and when our son is admitted to Tsinghua University, they won't even have a place to cry!" โ
The mother said helplessly, "You are too good at comforting yourself." The father laughed and said, "What can you do if you are not comforted?" Expulsion is expulsion, what a big deal, there are more schools in the world, which one is not read, and the same can build a new socialist country. When he said this, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. I know that he is reassuring my heart and telling me not to be too sad, but my heart is still sour. My father said a lot before he asked me, "By the way, why did you get expelled?" โ
I avoided it and said, "It's just a fight with someone." "I didn't dare to say that I led someone to smash the school, let alone say that a friend was gone. Father didn't ask much, nodded and said, "Just fight, young and vigorous, it's okay." Then I ask you, which school do you want to go to? I'll run for you these days. "He also thought that I had good grades and that it would be easy for me to go to any school. But I know that even if the TV station and newspapers didn't report it, it would definitely have spread, and other schools would be weird if they wanted me. I shook my head and said, "I don't miss it anymore." โ
The father was surprised and said, "Don't miss it? What are you going to do if you don't study? Now I don't have a diploma, and I have no way out! โ
Mother was also anxious: "That's right, your father and I have worked hard for you to study, you can't just say it and stop studying." It doesn't matter if you're expelled from school, let's find another school, you can't stop studying. โ
I lowered my head and said in a deep voice, "I just don't miss it." โ
