Chapter 6: The Burden
"The apprentice swears, if you violate the rules of the master, you will definitely not die well!" Chu Chen replied. The rules set by Empress Yingyue for Chu Chen were not harsh, but some very righteous rules, so Chu Chen agreed without hesitation.
"Chu Chen, Chu Chen!" At this time, a familiar and friendly voice came from outside the room, and this voice belonged to Chu Chen's mother.
"Mom!" Chu Chen looked at the door, a figure appeared there, and he saw that his mother's appearance had changed a lot from his impression, his mother was thin, black, and her hair was more than half white, this year, her mother seemed to be twenty years older.
"Son, it's great that you've finally woken up!" Chen's mother's tears flowed instantly, at this moment, she had been looking forward to it for too long, waiting too long, and her son finally woke up.
Chen's mother walked to the bed, hugged Chu Chen in her arms, and immediately cried bitterly, she had been suppressed for too long in the past year.
Chu Xin didn't know when he was standing at the door, and when he saw this scene, tears flowed down again.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't cry anymore, you see my sister is crying too. Chu Chen gently patted his mother's back and comforted.
"Your brother will be happy to know that you wake up and will never say no more about not going to school. Chen's mother cried.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a happy life in the future, and I will definitely cure my father's illness. Chu Chen said.
"Uh-huh, mom believes you, my son is the best. Chen's mother stopped her tears for a long time and said happily: "You must be hungry, Mom will go and cook you something to eat and cook your favorite dish." ”
"Xinxin, take a good look at your brother. When Chen's mother walked out of the room, she didn't forget to explain to Chu Xin.
"Well, mom rest assured. Chu Xin nodded obediently and replied.
"Little sister, come here, help me get the needle out, I'll go see Dad. After his mother left the room, Chu Chen said to his sister.
"No, the doctor said that it must be finished, but this bottle of medicine costs dozens of dollars, and it can't be wasted. Chu Xin shook his head and didn't pull out the needle for Chu Chen.
"Don't worry, my brother is fine, it's not good for me to play too much of this kind of thing, good boy, come and pull it out, otherwise I'll pull it out myself." Chu Chen said.
"You don't lie to me?" Chu Xin looked at Chu Chen in disbelief, but the doctor said that this thing is good for the human body.
"Why are you lying to you, when you grow so big, did my brother deceive you?"
"Okay. Chu Xin saw that her brother didn't look like he was lying to her, so she took a cotton swab and drank iodine wine for Chu Chen to pull out the needle.
"Sister, this year, I have worked hard for you, don't worry, after a while, my brother will definitely let you go back to school. Looking at his sister who was meticulous in pulling out the needle for herself, Chu Chen said to her sister.
"As long as my brother and father are safe and get better soon, even if I don't go to school, it's okay. Chu Xin said with a smile.
"Help me get my clothes. Chu Chen smiled, he really felt that his sister had suddenly grown up.
Chu Xin nodded, took the hanging bottle, and after a while, he brought a set of clothes for Chu Chenlai, this set of clothes was a school uniform, it seemed that it was still the one he wore when he fell down in Beishan that day.
Chu Chen hadn't bought any clothes since he went to high school, only a few sets of school uniforms had been worn through.
Get dressed, get out of bed, and put on your shoes.
"Dad!" came to his father's room, Chu Chen looked at his father lying on the bed, and couldn't help but have a sour nose, he almost didn't recognize his father now, so thin, skinny, full of white hair, his father was only in his early fifties, how did he become like this?
"Dad, I'm sorry, my son has worried you. Chu Chen knelt at the head of his father's bed, and his tears could no longer be controlled.
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. Father Chen stretched out his dry hand, stroked Chu Chen's face, wiped his tears, and said with a dark expression: "It's just a pity that the family has no money to let you go to school again, otherwise, I believe you will be able to be admitted to Huaqing." ”
"Dad, don't say that, believe in your son, even if you don't get admitted to Huaqing, you will be able to live well in the future. Chu Chen said.
"Good boy, everything will depend on you in the future, and Dad will never be able to do anything for you anymore. Father Chen's eyes also flowed with tears as he spoke, in his heart, Chu Chen was the most sensible child, and he rarely let them worry about it from childhood to adulthood.
"Dad, don't say that, you have worked hard all your life, you have done enough for us, it is the son who is not good, and the son will definitely not let you worry about it in the future. Chu Chen assured that his father had been working hard for the three of their brothers and sisters, leaving early and returning late, and he had paid too much for them, and now that his father said such things again, he really blamed himself even more in his heart, he owed his parents too much.
Chu Chen talked to his father for a long time, and it wasn't until his mother called them to eat that he left the room with his sister. Coming out of his father's room, Chu Chen felt even more uncomfortable, and knew from the chat with his father that those rich relatives in the family saw that he was unconscious and his father was paralyzed, so they rarely interacted with each other, and his mother sometimes went to borrow money without giving a good face, and seeing that his family couldn't afford to pay it back, they all made many excuses to say that they had no money. As a man, you have to rely on yourself, and you will never be able to rely on others.
In the dining hall, my mother had already prepared a table of dishes, all of which Chu Chen liked to eat.
"Oh, it's really Chenchen, hurry up, let the third aunt take a look!" In the dining hall, there were already several people sitting next to the table, all of them were his neighbors, I just heard my father say that in the past year, the neighbors have helped the family a lot, and they helped them make up the money for his younger brother's schooling.
Chu Chen knew all these people, so he called them one by one, and immediately laughed all over the house, and said hello to Chen's mother one by one, because Chu Chen finally woke up, not as the doctor said, he became a vegetative person, and he couldn't wake up for the rest of his life.
The taste of the food is still the same as before, but now that the mentality of eating has changed, Chu Chen suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was not light, and now that his father was paralyzed in bed, it was time for him to provoke the whole family.
