Chapter Twenty-Seven: Childhood Memories
"Two years ago, I suddenly received the bad news that my sister was on her way home from the barbershop and fainted unconscious. Once she fell, she never woke up. The doctor said that my sister was a perennial lack of nutrition and overwork, resulting in insufficient oxygen and blood supply to the brain, and even if she was rescued, she would be in a vegetative state. I managed to scrape together enough money from my relatives to pay for the surgery, but the doctor was right, she was still alive, but she would never wake up. ”
The corners of Zhu Feiyue's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he stepped forward: "Don't say that, I don't know if a miracle will happen one day." ”
I shook my head: "My sister has delicious food, all left to me, she drinks porridge every day, and works from 9 to 5 to earn money to support me, when I think of this, my heart hurts like a knife, the doctor said, there is a 1 in 100,000 chance, my sister will wake up from a vegetative state, just for this 1 in 100,000, I can't give up." ”
"In the past two years, I don't know how I lived, the most difficult time, I worked four jobs alone, only slept four or five hours a day, and once repaired the air conditioner, I was so sleepy that I almost fell off the window of the 10th floor. In order to save money, I found a steamed bun shop, the steamed buns that his family can't sell are about to become moldy, and they are all cheaply processed for me, I go home and freeze them and eat them slowly, but these are not enough at all, do you know how much it costs to stay in an intensive care unit like this for a month? ”
Zhu Feiyue thought for a while: "Let's talk less about three or five thousand." ”
"60,000 a month, not a single cent less, my sister's situation is special, she can only rely on a ventilator, nutrient solution to maintain life, and the situation is not very stable, need a nurse 24 hours a day to keep an eye on, every 15 minutes to come in to check the room, record the vital index. The hospital saw that my family's conditions were really difficult, and I couldn't take out so much money, so I waived the hospitalization fee and nursing fee, but even so, the cost of light medicine would be twenty or thirty thousand yuan per month, and I owed the hospital a lot of debt, and I may not be able to pay it off in my life. ”
I stared at my sister in a daze: "In the past two years, I have been so tired that I can't hold on, sometimes I want to give up, but think about it carefully, if this thing is replaced by me and I become a vegetative person, what will my sister do?" Will she give up on me? Definitely not. In the past, my sister always told me that all the hopes of the Li family were in me, and the last thing she could let go of was me...... So no matter how hard and tired I am, even if I am tired to death one day, I must not leave her alone. ”
Zhu Feiyue rubbed his eyes: "Brother, I really blame you, I always thought that you were a money-hungry bastard, I never dreamed that you Li Zhiwen lived so hard, why didn't you tell me about this?" You don't think of me as a friend anymore. ”
I sighed: "You said that on my terms, Su Yao is such a good girl, do I deserve to look at others more?" If there is really any story between the two of us, it means that I delay others, and it means that I add to her blockage! In the past, when I was young, my sister raised me, I felt guilty enough, in the second half of my life, do you want me to be cheeky and eat Su Yao's soft rice? I, Li Zhiwen, are a man, so I should be as far away from Su Yao as possible, she has her own happiness. ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the ward was slammed open, and Su Yao walked in, it turned out that after the separation just now, she had been secretly following us, all the way to the hospital, and the conversation we had just now may have been heard by her.
I never expected Su Yao to suddenly appear, the whole person was stupid, Su Yao didn't say a word, and came over and hugged me:
"Li Zhiwen, you are so stupid."
Her tears wet my chest, I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to answer, the rose-like girlish fragrance on Su Yao's body, I smelled it in a trance.
"I remember you once said that you said that I was like a person, and that person was your sister, right?" She wiped away her tears and looked up at me.
Su Yao and my sister are indeed very similar, they both rely on external objects to support and live very reluctantly, my sister relies on medical instruments, and Su Yao relies on jade plates.
Zhu Feiyue suddenly thought of something and said to me: "Your sister's situation, why don't you try the centipede bracelet?" ”
I shook my head: "It's useless, my sister Yangshou is still there, but her soul is asleep." ”
Su Yao hurriedly untied the silver centipede and put it on my sister's wrist, and after waiting for a few minutes, she sighed in frustration.
"In the future, I will pay for your sister's medical expenses." Su Yao looked at me seriously.
I untied the bracelet and returned it to Su Yao: "That's impossible, I was already very grateful to you for the previous 200,000, this money is enough to last for a long time, and my difficulties can be solved by myself." ”
If my sister hadn't been to support me, and she wouldn't have overworked like this, I would have secretly decided that I, Li Zhiwen, would never spend a penny on any woman in my life.
Su Yao walked up to me and said to me word by word: "Didn't you say that for the sake of my happiness, you should stay as far away from me as possible?" If I don't, I won't let you go, and it's not just your sister's medical expenses, but I'll also pay for you to open a hair salon in the city in the future. ”
I was about to refuse, when a female nurse barged in, pointed at me and said, "Li Zhiwen, where have you been in the past two days?" I didn't come to see your sister either. It's not a problem to keep your aunt with you. ”
Su Yao asked me curiously, "Which aunt?" ”
I took a basin of hot water, and while helping my sister wipe her body, she said: "Aunt Chen, she is my old neighbor, she is very nice, after my father left, Aunt Chen did not help our sister and brother, I am busy with part-time work, and I rarely find time to see my sister, so Aunt Chen took the initiative to ask to come and accompany me." ”
Covered the quilt for my sister, turned off the lights, and we withdrew.
The fate of people is really strange, they all say that greed and desire are the source of pain, but I am really not greedy, I just want my sister to wake up and live peacefully, I don't want anything else, is this humble wish impossible to achieve?
After leaving the hospital, separated from Zhu Feiyue, Su Yao and I walked along the night road:
"I'm cold."
Su Yao took the initiative to stretch out her little hand, just like watching a movie that day, we walked side by side with our fingers interlocked, everything was sweet and unreal, and my heart was beating wildly.
She has practiced the illusion of the fox fairy, and her physique is different from ordinary people, I know that Su Yao is not cold, she deliberately wants to hold hands with me, and the little girl's palms are warm.
That's why I said, everything is very unreal, this kind of sweet thing can never happen to me Li Zhiwen.
I said I was going to send Su Yao home, but she shook her head: "It's too late, I didn't drive, just stay at your house." ”
"That'...... That's not good, my house is too messy. "I'm short of breath.
Su Yao wiped the green silk behind her ear and smiled at me: "I don't dislike it." ”
I remember that smile, no girl has ever smiled at me like this, not before, and never again.
It's like a delicate rose that blooms quietly in the cold winter.
"I'm going to see your sister more in the future." Su Yao snorted and looked at me seriously.
I looked at her with some surprise: "Old sister, I have something I have always been unable to understand, you said that I want money without money, I want to look good and have no looks, and I still pick the door, what do you like about me?" ”
Su Yao smiled and said, "You will burn your hair." ”
She stretched out her foot and kicked the snow, and her expression darkened: "Actually, I have a hunch that I will not live long, Zhu Feiyue's daughter-in-law also said the same thing before, which further confirms my conjecture, I just want to find a man who looks good before I die, at least the person to talk to, and I will not live for a long time." ”
"As a result, I was unlucky, I ran into a bastard surnamed Li, who was stingy and made me cry."
I smiled helplessly: "I feel sorry for you, where does the surnamed Li live?" You see how I clean him up. ”
Su Yao: "We're heading to his house." ”
