Taking advantage of his free time in the afternoon, Li Changjing went to cram school for several hours.

Towards evening, he bought a killed chicken and a few tomatoes at the vegetable market, and slowly walked back to the courtyard.

There are two old people playing chess at the gate of the courtyard, the thin one is called Uncle Zhang, the fat one is called Uncle Wang, the chess quality is very poor, the next step is to regret two moves of chess, often play and quarrel, and finally fight for red faces, chess throwing is good, Li Changjing also helped touch it in the canal several times.

Lin Duoduo, a little kid, watched the ants move in the yard, lying on the ground, cocking his fart, concentrating.

Li Changjing saw her focused, and tiptoed back into the house, but Lin Duoduo didn't reply, so he knew it was him, and shouted from afar: "My mother said that she will work overtime tonight, so let you cook more." ”

Li Changjing slapped his forehead, when is this damn day a head.

After cooking, it was not yet dark, Lin Duoduo held her children's bowl with rabbit ears, sat on the steps at the door, and gulped down the rice, "Brother Jing, my mother is getting busier and busier, and you go out on dates with girls every day, and no one plays with me." ”

Li Changjing glanced at her, frowned slightly, and asked casually: "What's wrong with you today, I'm not at home at noon, haven't you eaten?" ”

"I've eaten it." Lin Duoduo said in a weak voice: "It's a meal that went to Uncle Zhang's house next door." ”

Li Changjing sighed and asked again: "You haven't been to school for half a month, aren't you urged by the teacher?" ”

Lin Duoduo shook his head and said, "My mother won't let me go, saying that I can't do it until this month." ”

Li Changjing didn't know why, and planned to wait for Lin Jia, who only cared about going to work and ignoring the children, to come back and ask her again.

After Li Changjing finished eating, he took the bowl into the kitchen to wash it, and shouted outside: "Long tooth chisel, haven't you eaten yet?" You'll wash the dishes yourself. ”

shouted twice in a row, but no one answered, Li Changjing came out to take a look, and found that Lin Duoduo fell to the ground, his face was sallow, and the pink rabbit ear bowl fell to the side, and there was still half of the uneaten rice in it.

Li Changjing's face changed, he picked up the little kid, didn't even change his clothes, went out to take a taxi, and went straight to the nearby hospital.

At half past nine in the evening, the diagnosis came out, and after Lin Duoduo came out of the operating room, he was immediately sent to the intensive care unit.

Li Changjing stood in the corridor and finished reading the diagnosis report, his face turned pale.

It was nearly eleven o'clock when a young woman of about 25 or 6 years old hurried in.

Li Changjing handed over the diagnosis certificate, and the woman took it and only glanced at it, and asked, "Is it serious, can it be treated?" ”

Li Changjing couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward, slapped her hard, and scolded: "Lin Jia, you already knew that she had a family hereditary leukemia, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

The woman with a very good-looking gentle and pretty face stood in a daze for a few seconds, and tears quickly fell down, and the heavy makeup painted on her face was cried, revealing patches of red and swollen skin.

Li Changjing looked at her face full of scars, and said movingly: "Why did you get hurt like this, who beat you?" ”

Lin Jia wiped her tears indiscriminately, opened the bag she was carrying, took out a few bundles of RMB from it, and sobbed: "Yesterday, I was found out about making a wine tray, and after the guest beat me, he called the police, and the police saw that I was seriously injured and did not punish me." ”

"I left her in your house because you liked Duoduo." Lin Jia has already taken out all the money, and roughly counted, it should be forty or fifty thousand.

Li Changjing was already angry, and when he heard her words, he almost went berserk, and yelled: "I like her, what does it matter if you hide her illness?!" Did you know that if I sent her ten minutes late, she would be dead! It's dead! She is only four and a half years old, she has just started kindergarten, I just taught her to write 9 words yesterday, and she can't even die of 10 words, she almost died! ”

Even in the town, he was ostracized by everyone and bullied by Su Bowen; Even if he worked hard to pick herbs and boil soup for the townspeople to drink, he was beaten as a result; Even if he was wrongfully accused of being a thief and was pierced through his stomach by Xu Zhenhai, who had no justice to talk about, Li Changjing only felt wronged.

In the past twenty years, Li Changjing, who has an extremely good temper, has never been so angry and angry as he is today.

Lin Jia fell to the ground, covering her mouth with her hands, her slender shoulders swaying violently, obviously crying extremely sadly.

"This is her third year of illness." Lin Jia cried: "Every six months, she will get sick once, and the doctor said that she will not live to be five years old." ”

Lin Jia raised her head, and Li Changjing found that there was deep sadness in the young woman's teary eyes, "I am Duoduo's mother, how can I not love her, but I took her for a check-up last month, and the doctor said that her cancer cells had spread to her whole body, and she couldn't live for even a month." ”

The heartbroken woman, holding the bundles of RMB in her hand, gradually lowered her voice, "If I pick her up, I can't make money, and if I let her go, I can't save her, what else can I do......"

Li Changjing stood dumbfounded, only to feel that his brain was very messy and blank.

After half a ring, Li Changjing pulled Lin Jia up, wiped her tears with his sleeve, and comforted: "Duoduo's condition is under control, but she has to have surgery, don't worry, everything will be fine." ”

Lin Jia looked at him gratefully, grabbed the money in his hand, and said softly: "I know that it takes a lot of money to do surgery, but you tell me honestly, how much is it still missing?" ”

Li Changjing's face was heavy, he touched his pocket, and took out a pile of fragmentary yuan, roughly counting, only more than two thousand, plus Lin Jia's, at most more than sixty thousand.

"The doctor told me that for a bone marrow transplant, it takes 500,000 yuan." Li Changjing couldn't bear to hide it from her, after all, she was Lin Duoduo's mother, and even if he didn't say it, Lin Jia would ask the doctor.

It's just that after hearing his words, the woman with a beautiful face instantly stood on the spot.

Li Changjing didn't know how to comfort him, and his heart was very heavy.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and two doctors walked quickly, holding a report in their hands, "May I ask who is Lin Duoduo's family?" ”

Lin Jia and Li Changjing said in unison: "I! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Changjing felt a little embarrassed and stepped out, "This young lady is." ”

Lin Jia didn't care about this, and walked up and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?" ”

The two doctors took off their masks, handed over the report in their hands, and said with a heavy face: "Lin Duoduo's condition is very dangerous, and he must have a bone marrow transplant immediately, please sign the operation sheet, and then go to prepare for the operation fee of 500,000 yuan." ”

Lin Jiawei said: "I only have more than 60,000 yuan in my hands for the time being, can you help her operate first?" Don't worry, I'll get the rest of the money back to you as soon as possible. ”

"This ......" the two doctors were puzzled: "We can't do this ...... the Lord"

Lin Jia cried out again in an instant, and fell to her knees with a thud, "Please, help my daughter with surgery first, please, great kindness, I will not forget it......"

The two doctors looked at each other, a little unbearable, but this kind of thing is really not something they can decide, 500,000 is not a small amount, what if after the operation, the family is not willing to give money? In this day and age, are there still few examples of old lai? Hospitals are not charities, and they have salaries to be paid, equipment to maintain, and medicines to buy, all of which have to be supported by money.

In the end, the negotiation was fruitless, so Li Changjing had no choice but to pull Lin Jia up first, and then promised the two doctors: "I will find a way to solve the matter of money, and I also ask you to help prepare for the operation first, and start as soon as the money arrives." ”

The two doctors were very grateful to Li Changjing for his reasoning, and nodded solemnly: "There is just a matching bone marrow in the hospital, you can rest assured of this." However, the patient's time is running out, and if the operation is not done at the latest, everything will be in vain. ”

After the doctor left, Lin Jia sat on the bench in the corridor, the whole person was depressed, and she just muttered and repeated: "500,000, 50,000...... ......"

Li Changjing lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Five years ago, I was 20 years old, just a freshman, and I was the school girl in school."

Lin Jia seemed to cry dry her tears, looked straight out of the window, and said stupidly: "At that time, there was a junior senior who pursued me madly, because he was the Cheng family of Daye City, and his family was not only rich, but also handsome, so I agreed." At that time, my classmates said that we were a talented and beautiful couple, and I was very happy. ”

"But when we were really together, and I gave him the most important things, the next day, I found out that he had three boats, and in addition to me, he had two girlfriends, and I went to him in a fit of rage, and the result was a breakup."

"The next year, Duoduo was born." Lin Jia sobbed: "Before I was born, my family strongly asked me to beat her, but I didn't want to, it was my fault to meet a scumbag, but Duoduo was innocent, and no one could deprive her of the right to live." ”

"For this reason, my family cut off relations with me, and I didn't call for two years, and finally I couldn't continue studying, so I had to come out to work." Lin Jiamulan said: "In the past few years, I have also tried to fall in love, but every time I have just started dating, those men are so frightened that they run away after knowing Duoduo's illness, young people, how can they have any savings, they don't have enough to spend, how can they be stupid enough to help other people's children pay for medical expenses." ”

Li Changjing apologized: "It's all my fault, if I had noticed her abnormality earlier, I could have brought her to the hospital earlier." ”

Lin Jia shook his head and said, "You can't find it, that kid can endure the pain." ”

Li Changjing sighed and asked, "Does your face still hurt?" ”

Lin Jia sneered, just smiled and laughed, and laughed out of tears, "Li Changjing, you are so stupid, you obviously have no money, and you have to be a warm-hearted person." Of course, I am also very grateful to you, thank you for helping me take care of Duoduo this month, every night when she sleeps, she will say good things about you, and say that your stir-fried vegetables are delicious. ”

Li Changjing listened silently, only to feel that his chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, which made him a little breathless.

In the end, Li Changjing found an excuse to go to the toilet, and after leaving the hospital, he hurriedly called Liu Qingtan, but found that he couldn't get through.

Li Changjing thought it was his mobile phone problem at first, and then went outside to call the public phone, but the result was still the same.

Li Changjing is not stupid, he knows that this should be the reason why Liu Qingtan turned his phone on airplane mode.

He couldn't help but think of Huo Qingrou's meaningful gaze before leaving at noon today, and finally realized in his heart that the woman had already explored the details of the people around her, and knew that Lin Duoduo had leukemia, and if he wanted to save her, he would definitely ask her to borrow money.

Li Changjing had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap, but he couldn't get angry, after all, Lin Duoduo's illness was not caused by Huo Qingrou, not to mention that he still had to borrow money from her, and he felt even more aggrieved.

It turns out that in life, although money is not everything, it is impossible to have money.

The ancients did not deceive me.

After living for 20 years, this is the first time Li Changjing feels that money is so important.

In the next three days, Li Changjing called Liu Qingtan as soon as he was free, but he couldn't get through, so he had to go to Wanhe Center in person during the day, wanting to find Huo Qingrou in person, but the doorman on the first floor didn't know him for some reason and didn't let him go up, which was obviously the result of Huo Qingrou's explanation.

Li Changjing was a little patient at first, but during this period, Lin Jia would send messages every once in a while to ask him, is there a result, is there a way?

Li Changjing didn't want her to even lose her only hope, so she had to answer every time: There will be a way soon, you stay in the hospital honestly, Duoduo needs you.

But looking back, the phone couldn't get through, Wanhe Center couldn't enter, and Li Changjing didn't know how to contact Huo Qingrou at all.

It made him feel bad.

He can understand that he took the initiative to bow his head, but he can't accept it by making fun of a child's life.

On the third day, the hospital had already issued an ultimatum, and Lin Jia sent him a rose on WeChat and typed: Come back, Duoduo woke up and wanted to see you for the last time.

Li Changjing sat on the ground as if he had been slapped on the head.

For that pigtailed little kid, the young man who liked it to the bones, breathed heavily and burst into tears, like an old dog who was struggling to breathe.
