Chapter 6 The truth is revealed, and hate is born out of love
On two Sundays in a row, Li went home to see Peach, asked her if her pregnancy reaction had improved, helped her explain her homework problems, and helped Peach's mother to go to the fields to do farm work, go up the mountain to collect medicine and chop firewood, return to her home to see her parents, ask about the situation at home, try to ask for more living expenses, and returned to school without stopping. Running back and forth, worrying about his labor, he was exhausted, his body was getting thinner and thinner, his academic performance was also significantly reduced, and he failed a math exam recently. It was something he had never done before, and even he was surprised. He was heartbroken and warned himself: If you don't study hard and your grades can't go up, there will be no hope for the college entrance examination! If you can't get into college, all your ideals will come to naught! More than 10 years of hard work will be wasted! What hope do you have? Future? However, when he looks back and thinks about Peach, the situation is even worse than him! Because of her debauchery and uninhibited planting the fruits of sin, at the critical time of the college entrance examination review, she was forced to leave school, leave the classroom, return to the ravine, endure the pain and torture of pregnancy reaction every day, endure the mother's complaints and even abuse, and feel deep guilt, self-blame and unease, deeply sorry for Peach, feel that she should share the pain and losses with her, help her get rid of the pain and torture as soon as possible, return to school, return to class, and then the two work together, fight side by side, and improve together; If he only cares about his own studies and leaves the peach alone, that is not his character, his conscience will be condemned, and his heart will be even more painful and uneasy.
For the painful torture in Li's heart, the loss of his body, and the decline in his academic performance these days, Xingquan sees it in his eyes, is anxious in his heart, and hurts in his heart. She finally couldn't bear it anymore, and one day she asked Li to the playground and asked, "Why did you do so badly in this math test?" You've never failed an exam! β
Li silently glanced at Xing, feeling guilty in his heart, and couldn't tell the truth, so he had to cover it up and say, "I don't know how to do it, I did so badly in the competition." It's probably because the question is too biased, and I didn't review it. β
Xing couldn't accept Lee's explanation and said, "Didn't review it? What did you do? I think you've lost your soul, and you haven't reviewed it at all! Xingyuan opened his eyes, pointed to the point, and said a word.
Li Jianxing said the key point, didn't dare to admit it, and couldn't completely deny it, and explained with a smile: "Why didn't I review, I didn't miss a class, but I didn't grasp the focus and didn't review to the point." Lee continued to cover up.
"Not a single class is missing, which is really good; I'm afraid that people are sitting in class, and their hearts are traveling in their hometowns. It's strange that you can grasp the focus and review the idea when you are not in the classroom! If you can get good grades in this way, you will really become a genius! It's a pity that you're just a mortal, not a genius! The good grades in the past are all earned by your hard work. However, learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat; If you don't work hard, how can you get good grades? β
Xing didn't believe Lee's explanation at all, and pointed out to his face the reason for his declining grades.
Li saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to explain that he was worried about Tao's condition:
"Alas! Peach's illness is really worrying. Her family is in that situation, her father has just died, the family owes a lot of debts, people often come to the door to ask for debts, her mother is sad and sad all day long, crying and crying, her younger brother is small, there is nothing to do, in the mountains, in the fields, there is no one to do a bunch of work; Now that Peach is sick again, if no one helps take care of her and help her, Peach will be even more miserable! had to drop out of school and go home to help her mother work with illness, her years of hard work and hard work were all in vain! Such a face-saving and strong person, with such a disease, such a family, and so many difficulties, didn't this kill her? You think, as classmates who grew up together, how can I ignore it and review our homework? Li shook his head again and again, looking infinitely sad.
Seeing that Li finally told the truth, Xing nodded silently in approval. And he persuaded him, "You are right. I know all of these things, and I often think about them. As fellow villagers, we try our best to help her, which is right and necessary; However, there is no need to lose your future. I think you've done enough, good enough: at school, you helped her, comforted her, and when she was seriously ill, you took time off to escort her home for treatment, to help her mother with her work. You've done your duty, what else? Can't you delay your own homework and life plans because of her family's difficulties? Have you thought about it? There is still more than a month before the college entrance examination, like a race, this is the final sprint stage! You see, all the students in the third year of high school are hurrying up and working hard, eager to use one day as two days. The fate of our life, the future, and the beautiful ideals since childhood, are all desperately fighting at this last moment! Nowadays, you are still worried about two ends, how can you study well? In case you fall short and lose your name, you will regret it for a lifetime and suffer for a lifetime! You're not stupid, do you still want me to talk about the situation? Think about it! Don't miss the opportunity and destroy your future! β
Xing tried his best to persuade Li from the overall situation of his fate and future, which Li was most concerned about, to immediately become vigilant, cheer up, and devote himself to the college entrance examination review.
Li was speechless for a while. He was very grateful for Xing's sincere concern, and believed that her words were golden and good, and he would not say so if he was not a true friend. But I can't rest assured about the situation of the peach. He finally sighed and said, "You're right. I often think this and warn myself like this. However, how can I bear to leave the peach and leave it alone? She is our best classmate, and she has worked with us since elementary school, and has never fallen behind, left behind. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life and suffer for the rest of my life! Speaking of peaches, Lee is still guilty, painful, empathetic, and responsible.
Xing sympathizes with Tao and understands Lee, but she disagrees with Lee's methods and attitudes. At the critical moment, in order to save Li and prevent him from falling behind, she must fight with reason, know with reason, and move with emotion. She said fiercely, "Do you think you can help the Tao family in this way?" You're so confused! Birth, old age, sickness, death, the normal feelings of life, all over China, all over the world, happen all the time, the gods can't control it, let alone you? If you go on like this, not only will you not be able to save Peach, but you will also destroy yourself first! You see, after two weeks, Peach's illness is not cured, but you have lost weight first, and your academic performance has dropped significantly, and you have failed! Are you ashamed, ashamed? You only care about others, have you ever thought about yourself? You go on like this, how can you get it! As your most confidant and good classmate, how can people not worry? Not worried? Do you know? Thinking of the consequences of your going on like this, I can't sleep all night, and I can't study in peace...... Have you ever thought about my feelings? β
When Xing talked about the sad place, she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she couldn't cry for a while.
Li was moved, and hurriedly comforted her: "Why do you bother? For the sake of peaches, I have already affected my learning, and if you affect your learning for this matter, isn't it more harmful? Don't be upset. I have memorized your words, I will pay attention to them in the future, and the results will catch up. It's just a peach ......" He remembered Xing's mood at this time, and felt that it was inconvenient to say anything about peach to stimulate her, so he immediately stopped talking.
Xing had already heard and understood, Li was still worried about the peach in his heart, and he couldn't let go of his heart. She sighed, "You, you still can't forget about the peach." If you continue like this, you will be dragged down by her sooner or later and die in her ......" She suddenly felt that the words were too heavy, too much, for fear of stabbing Li's heart, and she stopped halfway through what she said.
Taoli Xing is a good partner and classmate who grew up together since childhood, and they have always had a good relationship with each other and are intimate. Xing has also been worried about Peach's illness, Peach's family, just because graduation is approaching, the college entrance examination is imminent, homework is too tight, too busy, and has not yet found time to go home to visit Peach. Every time Li came back from home, she took the initiative to run to him and asked, "Is Tao's illness better?" When will I return to school? Li was full of sadness, and only said that he had not yet seen a good look, and did not say what the disease was, what the situation, and how to take medicine to treat it. She was sympathetic and puzzled, and asked him, "What kind of disease does Peach have?" Why does it not heal for a long time? Why didn't she come to the county hospital for treatment, but had to stay at home for treatment? Chunfeng is our hometown, I know best, people there are sick, only worship the mountain gods, pray, make wishes, and there is no good Chinese medicine. Why would Momo tell such a lie? Is it because of a lack of money? We can help her. β
Xing's eyes widened, looking directly at Li, straight to the point of prickly peach. Li was flustered, scared, squeaked, and difficult to speak. He didn't dare to look at Xing's eyes, just shook his head and sighed repeatedly, saying that Peach's pain, Peach's various difficulties, he was worried, sad, and painful for Peach, and still didn't make it clear about Peach's condition and the problem.
Seeing Li walk away, Xing pondered alone. With her understanding of Li and Tao, it seems that Tao is not lightly ill this time, if it is an ordinary illness, Tao will not go home for so long and not go back to school, Li will not be so sad, anxious, and painful, his academic performance and physical condition will never decline so quickly. She cared about Li and felt sorry for Li, but she didn't know how to help him. - It seems that persuasion alone is useless, Li is too affectionate to Tao and can't extricate himself. How to save Li so that he can be completely alerted and concentrate on his studies? She was depressed and anxious, and she meditated hard, but she always couldn't figure out what to do. She understands Li's personality, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is sentimental, and her heart is as fine as silk. He has always had a deep affection for Peach, since he was a child, he is like a brother and sister, no matter how she knocks on the side, satirizes him, and laughs at him, he has never left Peach, and he cares for Peach. Now that Tao is seriously ill at home, he is both physically and mentally painful, and delays his studies, seeing that the semester is more than halfway through, and the college entrance examination is imminent, he must be worried about Tao, thinking about it day and night, going home to see Tao every Sunday, and helping her family work. The hometown is far away, the road is rugged, and you are going back and forth, you will inevitably be exhausted and physically lost, so how can you still have spiritual learning? As a result, the grades have dropped so much. However, with Lee's personality and his feelings for Peach, it is almost impossible for him not to think about Peach, help Peach, and devote himself wholeheartedly to his own studies. Today's persuasion has proved that it has ended in fruitlessness. Watering vegetables and hearts, watering trees and roots. It seems that the most effective way is to go home and ask her parents for more money, persuade Tao to go to the county hospital for treatment, help her return to school as soon as possible, and then help Tao's mother finish the farm work in the field, so as to relieve Li's worries. Momo's illness is cured and he returns to school, so Lee can devote himself to his studies. With his foundation, his intelligence, and his hard work, it is no problem for his academic performance to catch up as soon as possible. ββAfter some careful consideration, Xing finally came to a conclusion and found a fundamental way to help Li relieve his troubles.
Xing decided to go back to the spring breeze to see the peach in person, and patiently persuaded her not to believe in superstition, to believe in quacks in the mountains, and to come to the county hospital as soon as possible to see a doctor, money, she and Li will help her solve it. In addition, she helped her family finish the work in the fields and mountains, and completely solved Peach's worries, so as to completely solve Li's worries. The three of them went back to school together, still studying together as before, improving together, seizing the last time before the exam, making full preparations, meeting the college entrance examination, and striving to get good results, so that they could be admitted to a good university, have a good future, and realize the established beautiful ideals.
With this mood, Xing thought all the way back to the spring breeze. - She was going to ask Li to go home to see the peach together, but she didn't want Li to miss it deeply, so she was so anxious that she had already left first. She returned home and asked her parents for fifty yuan, but before she had time to say more, she put down her schoolbag and hurried to Peach's house; But Li had already gone down to the field to help Peach's mother work, and he really couldn't catch up with it, and he couldn't catch up with it step by step.
When Peach saw Xing, she was startled at first, and then greeted her warmly. The good sisters have not seen each other for many days, and they miss each other very much, but now when they meet, they hug each other tightly, greet each other, and talk about the pain of missing each other.
Momo let Apricot into the house, and the sisters sat together with each other and talked. Tao briefly introduced the treatment after returning home and the changes in his condition. Xing also introduced the recent learning situation of her classmates. Tao misses her teachers and classmates, thinks about her studies and the college entrance examination, thinks that she can't return to school because of pregnancy reaction, and worries that she will fall behind in her homework and affect the college entrance examination, so she can't help but cry sadly.
Xing helped Tao wipe her tears and persuaded her: "I see your disease, or hurry to the county hospital for treatment, don't listen to these quacks in the mountains, they talk about superstition, ghosts and gods talk nonsense, unscientific, the disease is not cured, and it will be wrong." If you don't have enough money, Li and I can persuade our parents to borrow some money to help you. Cure your illness and return to school as soon as possible. The college entrance examination is close, time does not wait, and it cannot be delayed any longer! Otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life! After speaking, he handed over the fifty yuan to Tao's hand, and urged again and again.
Momo returned the money to Xing, just shook her head and sighed, kept crying, and did not answer about the matter of seeing a doctor at the county hospital. Apricot was suspicious and confused: Peach was sick and would rather suspend class and go home, but he was not actively treated; Lack of money, others lend it but refuse to accept it. What exactly is this for? It is completely inconsistent with Peach's human temperament. She looked at the peach carefully, and saw that she had a yellow face and thin muscles, and she vomited from time to time, and they talked together for more than ten minutes, and she actually ran out and vomited twice. She had seen her mother have this reaction when she was pregnant with her brother, so she was very suspicious. She asked Peach, "What disease do you have?" Why do I vomit all the time? It's not good at all for so long, and it's getting worse. I don't think you're a stomach problem, isn't it...... What is a serious illness? It's worth it! Don't shirk it anymore, tomorrow, I must take you to the county hospital for an examination, and only after finding out clearly, can I prescribe the right medicine. Don't be afraid, the money is mine. β
Peach hurriedly said, "Don't go, don't go." I just had a stomach problem. Lang Zhong said that the stomach problem will get better slowly, and after a while, it will get better. β
Xing saw Momo's panicked appearance even more suspicious, and she said, "It will be fine for a while?" How long will it take? I'm telling you, don't pretend to be confused, in more than a month, the college entrance examination will be over, you can't take the college entrance examination, so many years of hard work will be completely over! You must come with me to the county hospital tomorrow for a check-up. If you refuse to go, I suspect that you will not have a stomach problem at all, or even a disease at all, but clearly ββ, you should not tell me to say ugly things. The apricot held the peach tightly.
Tao saw that the apricot was sincere, and he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
Xing's lungs were about to explode, her mind was buzzing, and her heart was pounding. She felt deceived, not only did Peach deceive her, but Lee also deceived her. After the incident, they collaborated to tell a big lie and designed such a big scam to deceive the teacher and classmates, and even she, their best fellow countryman since childhood, was kept in the dark by them, and they were stupidly worried about Li, thinking about the peach, and did not hesitate to sacrifice their precious study time, trying their best to solve their problems. What a fool I am! It's a big idiot! Toyed with by the two of them. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but be angry and jealous. She angrily shook off Peach's hand, pointed at Peach and scolded angrily, "How can you do that kind of thing? In broad daylight, in public, and not afraid of shame? It's a shame that you are still students of the county middle and high schools, and those who have received more than ten years of education! β
Peach was full of shame and explained: "Xing, please don't misunderstand, we really love each other, we have admired each other for a long time, and when we encounter an opportunity, we can't help it for a while." After the incident, we also regretted it, blamed ourselves, and were afraid that it would be too embarrassing for the matter to be exposed, and we would be punished by the school, so we ......"
Xing was even more angry when she heard Peach's explanation, and loudly refuted her: "What kind of truth are you? It's nonsense! If you truly love each other, you should respect each other, love each other, help each other, and make progress together, let alone do that kind of thing at this critical time. Have you considered the consequences? Putting aside the shame and punishment, doing so will not only harm you, but also harm Li! You hide at home, don't dare to show your face, don't dare to go back to school; He seems to have lost his soul these days, although he is in the classroom, he has not studied at ease for a day, his test scores have plummeted, and he has failed the math exam recently! When has his grades ever been so bad! You don't love him, you hurt him, you hurt him! Do you know? You touch your conscience and think, are you worthy of him by doing this? also kept saying that he loved him, you have ulterior motives! Seeing that he couldn't go to college, he dragged Lee into the water and made him unable to go to college. You're so vicious! β
Momo was reprimanded, her face full of shame, tears flowing, and she just cried in a low voice, unable to answer.
Xing couldn't bear to say any more, stood up indignantly, waved his hand and said:
"Peach, take care of yourself." The sins you have created, only you can swallow the fruits of your iniquities, and no one can replace you. I will not come to see you again in the future, and I will not help your family again. Because you don't deserve it! For the rest of the time, I will stay in school, study hard and seriously, and meet the college entrance examination. This is the end of our friendship! After saying that, he left angrily.
Momo grabbed her, knelt down and begged, "Xing, I know it's all my fault, and now it's too late to regret it, and I can't remedy it." He suffers and suffers sin, and he has nothing to say, and he can't complain about others. I only ask you for one thing, please look at the affection of our good sisters for many years, for the sake of Li for taking care of you and helping you for many years, and do not talk about this matter, it is about the reputation and future of me and Lee. Even if we both beg you together! She looked at Apricot as if she were begging.
"What? Since you really love each other, why don't you dare to say it openly? Are you afraid to see people if you really love each other? Can't see anyone? Xing smiled coldly, she felt that it was very relieving to say this at this time.
Momo saw that Xing refused to agree, held on, and cried and said: "If you say it, I will never have the face to go back to school, see our teachers and classmates again, and have no face to see my hometown parents again, only one thing is dead." Lee will be faceless in the future......" she cried and pleaded.
"Don't worry, I'm not as despicable as you, and I don't bother to care about your."
Apricot broke free of Momo's hand and walked out of her house angrily.
