Chapter 11 Hospitalization and Rest
Wang Qiang and Zeng Xiaoqi walked into the ward lightly, their movements were very light, for fear of alarming something.
Chu Xiao looked at the two of them, one of them was the invigilator who didn't let him enter the examination room, he knew that he shouldn't be angry, as an invigilator, strictly enforcing the rules and regulations was a responsible performance, but he still couldn't help it.
The two slowly sat on the stool next to the bed and looked at Chu Xiao.
The emaciated face looked like skin and bones, showing an unhealthy hungry yellow, and there were traces of tears sliding down the corners of the eyes, obviously crying.
Zeng Xiaoqi was inexplicably distressed, the orphans living in the black street, really couldn't eat, even so, he still didn't give up his dedication to card-making, his grades were so good, such a diligent and studious boy, how could God bear to let him suffer so many sins.
Wang Qiang lowered his head and fell into a lot of self-blame, when he saw that the child was not very healthy when he was invigilated, but now he is even thinner into a skeleton, and there is not even a little extra meat.
"Chu Xiao, huh?" Zeng Xiaoqi broke the silence.
"Yes."
"I've seen the card drawing questions you made, which are very peculiar, and several grading teachers think that you are very talented in card making."
The corners of Zeng Xiaoqi's lips were slightly raised, revealing a smile as warm as a spring breeze, trying to make herself amiable.
Chu Xiao smiled bitterly, his heart was as bitter as a mouth without a trace of moisture, "So what, it's not a failure." β
At this time, Wang Qiang suddenly raised his head and looked at him seriously, and said in an impassioned tone: "No, you have not failed, with a full score in the theory test, you are fully qualified to enter the Sika Academy." β
Chu Xiao felt angry and funny, but his eyes were full of perseverance, "I don't need anyone to be pitied, I can get to this point not because of the pity of others, but by myself!" β
Wang Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect the boy to answer like this, so he had to swallow the prepared words, at an innocent age, he shouldn't refuse the kindness of others.
The children of the Black Street can only completely change their lives by becoming card makers, and Sika School is such a passage to a better future.
Chu Xiao's answer also surprised Zeng Xiaoqi, this boy is different from other children, and his psychology seems to be much more mature.
The children of poor families have long been in charge, and the orphans in the black street have been running around for life since they were children, and they look naΓ―ve on the outside, but they are undoubtedly adults on the inside.
Zeng Xiaoqi, who usually educates students one after another, now doesn't know how to talk to this boy.
"We don't pity you, you do have the strength to be admitted to Sika Academy, we will not allow it, and Sika Academy will not allow the loss of a student full of infinite possibilities." Wang Qiang said.
From the moment he knew that the boy was a candidate with a perfect score for the card drawing question, he was determined to recruit the boy to the Sika Academy, which could be regarded as a little compensation for the boy, after all, even if he didn't do this, the boy could be admitted to the Sika Academy with his own strength.
Chu Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and he could see that the invigilator was sincere.
After staying in the dark street for a long time, I have mastered a lot of skills in observing words and feelings, and if I don't know what to do and what not to do at the moment, I will be beaten violently, and hiding in a corner of no one in the library is just to not affect others.
"That's right, Sika Academy is desperate for geniuses, and you are a rare genius." Zeng Xiaoqi squinted and smiled and agreed.
"Is it really possible?"
Chu Xiao was a little moved, if this is really possible, then there is no need to live in the black street, and there is no need to pay protection money to those gangsters.
"Of course it's not that easy."
Zeng Xiaoqi's inexplicable words made Wang Qiang puzzled, everything is developing in a good direction, even if it is difficult to coordinate and discuss with the school, but as long as you put in a little more effort, it is not much of a problem to get a student in.
Chu Xiao chuckled in his heart, it was really not so easy, the admissions exam had already passed, and Sika Academy would never allow it to go through the back door.
Seeing that the faces of the two of them changed, Zeng Xiaoqi chuckled, looked at Chu Xiao and said: "If you want to enter the Sika Academy, you must have a healthy body, look at you, you are all thin like lightning, how can you do it without eating fat?" β
Wang Qiang exhaled a long breath, Zeng Xiaoqi was also naughty, and he was joking at this time, thinking that he hadn't been frightened enough today.
"Come, I'll help you up and drink saliva, your lips are cracked."
Zeng Xiaoqi got up and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his arm to Chu Xiao's back, slowly dragged it up, picked up the water cup in his left hand, and slowly poured the water into his mouth, and finally did not forget to pull out a piece of paper to wipe off the water that accidentally flowed out.
At this moment, Chu Xiao felt very warm, no one had ever taken care of him, let alone such a meticulous one.
"Thank you, sister."
Looking at the sweet-looking woman in front of him, Chu Xiao was sincerely grateful.
Wang Qiang sat on the side but was extremely envious, when would he have such treatment, he looked at Zeng Xiaoqi stupidly, and felt that the girl was more beautiful.
"Teacher Wang, I will take care of you here, you go buy some nutritional products to nourish your body, ask Dr. Li what he can eat, don't buy indiscriminately." Zeng Xiaoqi turned his head and said to Wang Qiang.
"Okay."
Wang Qiang was worried that he had nothing to do, and he felt sorry for this child if he didn't do something, so Zeng Xiaoqi arranged an errand for him, so he was very active and immediately took action.
In the past month, except for the necessary substitute teaching every day, Wang Qiang and Zeng Xiaoqi will come to the district hospital to take care of Chu Xiao for the rest of the time, and every time they see Chu Xiao's complexion a little better, the happier they are.
In fact, this is completely Wang Qiang's responsibility, Zeng Xiaoqi can ignore it at all, but she can't ignore it if she knows it, besides, Chu Xiao's child gives her a very good feeling, well-behaved and sensible without losing her own ideas.
Regarding the painting card question, once she and Wang Qiang discussed it with Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao was quite surprised by some of Chu Xiao's unique insights.
In fact, Chu Xiao is a little unclear in terms of professional knowledge, although he is familiar with the structure of the moonfire, but the professional knowledge of card making has only mastered the basics, and for those deeper conceptual theories, he does not understand them at all, so it is quite difficult to explain.
He could only express it in colloquial language, but the two teachers from Sika Academy listened very carefully, they looked at each other from time to time, and spit out a professional term that Chu Xiao had never heard before, whenever this happened, Chu Xiao knew that the two teachers understood and connected with professional knowledge.
Chu Xiao was quite curious about those professional terms, so he often consulted the two teachers.
The two teachers spared no effort to explain and teach him the knowledge in the classroom, so that he would not fall behind in the future.
Teacher Zeng changed to Teacher Wang when he was tired, Chu Xiao listened with relish, full of energy and consistent, his head seemed to be a bottomless pit, and he could continuously receive the knowledge of card making.
Zeng Xiaoqi and Wang Qiang seemed to have met rare beasts, those students in the academy couldn't even listen to a single class, why was Chu Xiao so interested in the boring card-making science, he was not tired of listening for three hours in a row, and often asked about some extended knowledge.
However, they are very relieved that meeting such a studious child is a blessing as a teacher, which is much better than singing a one-man show in class and getting feedback from students.
