Chapter 57: A Bolt from the Clear
In the days that followed, Su Lan's life became simpler, in addition to studying hard every day, she also used her spare time to do part-time jobs to earn some living expenses to provide for her and Su Fang's three meals a day. Su Yan has not studied since her parents died, and after playing at home for a while, she felt very bored, so she went out all day long, and worked as a casual worker when she had the opportunity, and the money she earned was used to buy cosmetics, and the remaining money was enough for her to eat.
The days passed like this, until one afternoon two years later, a sudden event broke Su Lan's originally peaceful life.
On this day, Su Lan, as usual, went directly to work part-time after school. But in the process of part-time work, I suddenly received a strange phone call, and after picking it up, I found out that it was Uncle Cai from my neighbor. Since their parents left, their neighbor Uncle Cai has also helped them a lot.
"Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" Su Lan asked politely.
"Hey, Su Lan, where are you?" Uncle Cai, a neighbor, was a little anxious in his voice.
"Uncle Cai? Am I working part-time? Can I help you? You seem to be in a hurry. Su Lan asked suspiciously.
"Oh, don't work part-time, come back quickly, your brother Su Fang doesn't know what's going on, and fainted in the alley again, a few of us are taking care of it now, and he hasn't woken up yet." Uncle Cai explained.
"What do you say? My brother fainted again? Su Lan's heart suddenly hung up.
Su Fang's body doesn't know when it started, it didn't become as good as before, and he always fainted suddenly every once in a while, before Su Lan always thought that it was because he was growing up but malnourished, so it was caused by anemia, every time Su Fang fainted, he woke up every once in a while, so Su Lan didn't pay attention to it, but recently he fainted more and more often.
"yes, I haven't woken up yet, come back quickly, come back and see what's going on!"
"Okay, I got it, I'll be right back!"
Su Lan put down the phone, took off his part-time clothes, didn't even have time to say hello to the manager, picked up his schoolbag, took a taxi on the side of the road, and hurried back anxiously.
Before the car stopped, Su Lan couldn't wait to open the car door, jumped out of the car, and hurriedly ran to Uncle Cai's house, for fear that his younger brother would have something long and short.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Fang sitting on the sofa drinking water, and seeing his younger brother sitting there intact, Su Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, you're back." Seeing Su Lan, Su Fang hurriedly handed over the water in his hand.
"Su Lan is back, sit down, sit down." Hearing the movement, Uncle Cai, who was cooking in the kitchen, also came out.
"Uncle Cai, I'm sorry for you to take care of Xiaofang again." Su Lan smiled slightly apologetically.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture, your parents are gone, I should help me more!"
"Uncle Cai, I'll go to the kitchen to help you!"
As he spoke, Uncle Cai quietly gestured to Su Lan while Su Fang was not paying attention, motioning for her to go to the kitchen with him. The smart Su Lan immediately understood what Uncle Cai meant, and then followed him to the kitchen.
"Uncle Cai, do you have anything to do with me?" Su Lan came in with his front foot, and Uncle Cai closed the kitchen door with his back foot.
"Su Lan, it's not that I'm nosy, I think you should take Su Fang to the hospital for a check-up, I see him, it doesn't look like he fainted due to anemia. Recently, he has fainted more and more times, and his face has become more and more pale, I think, you should take him to the hospital for examination when you are free. Uncle Cai kindly reminded.
"Okay, Uncle Cai, I know, thank you for your kind reminder, I will take him to the hospital for a good examination."
Su Lan couldn't help frowning when she heard him say this. She only lost her parents two years ago, and she didn't want to lose her last relative in two years, because in her heart, her only relative was Su Fang, and Su Yan had already become a stranger.
"Do you have enough money? Need money? If not enough, I still have it. Uncle Cai couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at the mature and strong girl in front of him who was still a child but had already become an adult.
"No, Uncle Cai, I have money, I am already very grateful if you can help me take care of Xiaofang, how can I still ask for your money now, thank you so much!" Su Lan said sensibly.
"It's okay, what I did is really nothing, you remember to take him to the hospital for a good check-up!" Uncle Cai admonished.
"Don't worry, I'll be taking him there this week. If it's okay, then I won't bother you, and I'll take the boat first. ”
Su Lan took Su Fang back to her house, the room was as empty as ever, Su Yan didn't know how long she hadn't been back, and no one knew where she was fooling around.
"Xiaofang, is my sister taking you to the hospital for a check-up this week?" Su Lan squatted in front of her younger brother and asked gently.
"What are you doing in the hospital? Sister? I'm fine! "Su Fang is not like letting Su Lan spend extra money.
"My sister knows that you are very good, just go for a casual check-up and check your body, and it won't cost too much money, and my sister will feel at ease after the check-up!" Su Lan saw his brother's thoughts and comforted him carefully.
"But, sister, it costs a lot of money to go to the hospital, and I don't want to go to the hospital."
"No, Xiaofang, you have to trust my sister, it's just a physical examination, it won't cost a lot of money, we'll come back after the examination, okay? You don't want your sister to worry all day, do you? Su Lan looked at Su Fang's eyes full of distress.
"Okay, then I promise you, but okay, we'll just go check your body!"
"Okay, let's pull the hook."
Looking at Su Fang with a simple face, Su Lan was really scared and worried. She was afraid to take Su Fang to the hospital, if something really found out, then what should she do......
Sunday morning was Su Lan's rare holiday, and it was also the day when Su Fang went to the hospital to check his body. Su Lan woke up early in the morning and woke up her younger brother, because she couldn't eat breakfast for the physical examination, so Su Lan fortunately didn't do it, and the sister and brother went directly to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Su Lan took her younger brother to check the organs in her body to see what was wrong. Fortunately, after a check-up, Su Fang's organs are healthy, and with the results of the examination, the mood of the sister and brother is getting happier and happier, and there is only one last brain test left, and after doing this, you can go home.
"Who is Su Fang's family? Excuse me. ”
Su Lan, who was sitting outside the examination room waiting for the results, was thinking about making something delicious to make up for Su Fang at night, but was suddenly interrupted from his train of thought, and when he heard Su Fang's name, Su Lan quickly stood up.
"It's me, what's the matter?" Su Lan followed the doctor to the office suspiciously.
"That's right, we found out from your brother's examination report that your brother is very likely to have a primary tumor." The doctor said.
"Primary tumor?" Su Lan had never heard of this word.
"Yes, we found out through your brother's brain examination report that he has a primary tumor in his head."
"What's that?"
"The primary tumor is a malignant tumor, it can also be called the demon in the tumor, this disease can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, the current medical treatment can only be barely maintained through chemotherapy, if no effective measures are taken, the condition will deteriorate, and the consequences in the future are unimaginable." The doctor explained with a solemn face.
Su Lan was shocked by the doctor's words, and was speechless for a while, it seems that something went wrong in the end, it seems that Xiaofang's frequent fainting is not without reason.
"Doctor, could it be a mistake?" Su Lan was a little reluctant to believe it.
"Logically speaking, there is basically no possibility of checking wrong." Although he was a little unbearable, the doctor still told Su Lan the truth.
How could this be, how could Xiaofang, such a happy and kind person, get such an illness, why is God so unfair to him, why is the person who gets this disease not me. All of a sudden, all emotions rushed to Su Lan.
"Doctor, is there any cure for this disease?" Su Lan asked.
"With the current level of medical care in the city, there is no complete cure."
"What about other cities? Is there a cure? Su Lan seemed to see hope in his eyes.
"It's hard to say about other cities, but the chances of being cured are really small."
It's a pity that the doctor shook his head and cruelly broke the illusion in her heart, so that her heart that had finally become complete was broken again.
"Also, I advise you to help the patient go through the hospitalization procedures as soon as possible and start treatment as soon as possible, otherwise, the condition will get worse and worse. Judging from the examination report, I think he must have fainted frequently by now, right? The doctor reminded
"Yes, it's because he's fainted more and more recently that I brought him to the hospital for a checkup, but I didn't expect his illness to be so serious. I got it, I'll bring him in for treatment as soon as possible. ”
As if he had been drained of all his strength, it took a lot of force to stand up from the stool, dragging heavy steps, and walking out of the doctor's office step by step. When he walked to the door, he saw Su Fang, who was waiting for him outside, and his simple smiling face was even full of smiles, and he didn't know that he had such a serious illness.
Seeing such a sunny Su Fang, Su Lan's heart suddenly became cramping, and she didn't know how to tell her brother such news. I thought that after this last examination, I could go home with peace of mind, cook him a delicious meal, and replenish my body, but I didn't expect that God would always play tricks on people like this, and the bad news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day to give her a blow to the head.
