With the permission of the attending doctor, Fang Hanmin followed Lu Hui, Yu Dongmei and others back to school that afternoon, and was carefully cared for by Lu Hui and other classmates in his daily life and on his way to and from class.

On the afternoon of the third day, taking advantage of the opportunity of self-study class, Lu Hui borrowed a bicycle and carried Fang Hanmin back to the hospital to check and change dressings.

When the attending doctor opened the bandaged gauze and saw that the wound was a little red and swollen, he asked, "Do you have any unusual feelings?" ”

"I think the wound is a little swollen."

"Take your temperature." The doctor asked Fang Hanmin to clip the thermometer under his armpit.

A few minutes later, Fang Hanmin took out the thermometer, and the doctor looked at it and was slightly surprised, "Thirty-eight degrees, you have a fever!" ”

"Doctor, what's going on?" Fang Hanmin asked anxiously.

"From the analysis of the symptoms of redness and swelling of the wound and the increase in body temperature, it indicates that a wound infection has occurred."

Fang Hanmin was a little panicked, because the doctor repeatedly told him to prevent infection, indicating that the consequences of infection were very serious, "Doctor, what should I do about this?" ”

According to the initial diagnosis, Fang Hanmin didn't take this injury seriously, he thought that with his good physical fitness, it wouldn't take long to recover and be discharged from the hospital, so he didn't tell his parents and family about it. But as soon as the doctor said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

For infection and inflammation, the usual treatment is to first reduce the inflammation, disinfect the wound, and then retreat the wound according to the specific situation.

This process is more complex and time-consuming than the original surgery. This kind of thing happened, in the near future, it is impossible for Fang Hanmin to recover from his injuries and be discharged from the hospital, not only that, but before he fully recovers, it is estimated that the doctor will not let him go back to school.

As expected, the attending doctor left Fang Hanmin in the hospital at that time, and gave him a medical order, asking the nurse to give him an infusion, and lower his body temperature first.

After all, it is not an incurable disease, although the process is more cumbersome, and it is inevitable that it will be time-consuming and troublesome, but everything is operated step by step, but the treatment of the wound again is equivalent to a second operation, which makes Fang Hanmin suffer a lot.

With the lesson of the last time, after a series of treatments, the doctor asked Fang Hanmin to recuperate and recover in the hospital bed, and never let him leave the hospital without permission.

Every once in a while, the classmates in the class who care about Fang Hanmin will visit him in the hospital, Lu Hui has no intention of studying, and he comes the most, Yu Dongmei also comes often, in order to avoid suspicion, she has to find an excuse to let other classmates accompany her every time.

Under the strict requirements and meticulous care of the medical staff, at the end of April, Fang Hanmin's injured left big toe not only fully recovered, but also left no sequelae, and he was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to school to study with confidence!

Although he was delayed for nearly two months and missed many tutorial classes in the general review stage of the college entrance examination, with his previous solid foundation, Fang Hanmin's mathematics, physics and chemistry test scores still ranked before the top ten in the whole grade.

However, the college entrance examination is a comprehensive examination, not only to test mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also language and politics are also the main subjects, these two courses require the accumulation of time, especially political subjects, which need to spend a lot of time memorizing those abstract concepts and noun explanations.

One night, after the bell rang for the evening self-study, the students in the second and third classes of high school packed up their books and walked out of the classroom one after another.

After reading the two ancient texts left by the Chinese teacher, and reciting the political review materials for a while, he heard the lights out bell of the teaching building ringing, and only Fang Hanmin himself was left in the classroom, he got up and left his seat, turned off the lights and left the classroom.

When he went back to the dormitory, he turned right, and with the bright light of the corridor on the second floor, Fang Hanmin saw a medium-sized girl standing not far in front of him, of course he was familiar with it, it wasn't Yu Dongmei, the entertainment committee member of the class, who was she waiting for?

Fang Hanmin didn't want to disturb the other party, he turned around and walked back, intending to go down the stairs on the left.

As soon as he took two steps, Yu Dongmei's soft and crisp voice came from behind him, "Fang Hanmin, you stop, I have something to ask you." ”

Standing in place, Fang Hanmin turned around, and the other party also came to him, and he asked a little puzzled: "Yu Dongmei, may I ask you what's the matter?" ”

"You have been delayed for a long time, although the mathematics, physics and chemistry test is still very powerful, how about language politics? Especially politics, are you sure? Yu Dongmei asked with concern.

"This ......" Fang Hanmin didn't expect Yu Dongmei to care about him so much.

At the end of the seventies, the whole society was still very conservative, and the campus was no exception, unlike the school that Fang Hanmin experienced in his previous life, there was a saying that there was a class flower and a school flower, but the boys in the second and third classes of high school, and even many boys in the second year of high school, had privately evaluated the appearance and temperament of the girls in the whole grade, and everyone agreed that Yu Dongmei, the member of the third class of recreation, ranked first, even if it was placed in the whole school, Yu Dongmei's figure and appearance were also among the best.

Don't look at Fang Hanmin's excellent character and learning, he is the squad leader of the second and third classes of high school, and he has a well-proportioned figure and a beautiful face, because his family is poor, he is very inferior in his heart, and he is ashamed of himself in front of beautiful girls, plus he has a somewhat introverted personality, unless the class wants to engage in literary and artistic activities, and the squad leader and the entertainment committee need to cooperate with the work, he rarely talks to Yu Dongmei.

Although Yu Dongmei is also from the countryside, she lives in the suburbs of the county, and her family background is not bad, she has two brothers and two sisters, Yu Dongmei is the youngest, she can't be said to be pampered, at least she has been loved by her parents and brothers and sisters since she was a child, plus she is beautiful, has a cold personality, and her vision has always been high.

However, in Yu Dongmei's eyes, Fang Hanmin is an exception, she feels that although Fang Hanmin is dressed plainly and even a little shabby, he not only has good academic performance and excellent comprehensive performance, but also is upright, responsible, and full of righteousness.

Yu Dongmei was attracted by this kind of manhood, and since the second semester of her first year of high school, she has secretly paid special attention to Fang Hanmin's every move, is this called a secret love? No one else knows.

At the beginning of the new semester, I heard that Fang Hanmin was injured and hospitalized, Yu Dongmei was particularly worried, because of the wound infection and returned to the hospital again, she pinched Fang Hanmin's sweat, although now he has recovered from the injury and finally returned to school, but after all, it has been delayed for two months, even if Fang Hanmin's foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry is good, she is afraid that language and politics will become two major obstacles on his way to school.

Yu Dongmei's academic performance was in the middle of the class, and although she felt that she couldn't help Han Min, since he returned to school, Yu Dongmei wanted to know about his preparation for the revision of language and politics, but she was embarrassed to ask him in public. After self-study class tonight, Yu Dongmei stayed on the pretext of leaving the classroom for the penultimate and waiting in the corridor, just to ask Fang Hanmin what was going on alone.

Although the head teacher, Mr. Lin, and other students with a good relationship also asked similar questions, Yu Dongmei suddenly asked about this matter, which was still beyond Fang Hanmin's expectations, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"Why don't you speak? Aren't you sure? Yu Dongmei seemed to be a little anxious.

"I can't say that I am not a little sure, but you also know that I was delayed for two months, and this period of time is a critical period for pre-exam review, and the teacher must have talked about a lot of key points of the exam, but I didn't hear them, so I didn't have too much confidence in these two courses."

"And what do you want to do?"

"Do your best, maybe a miracle will happen."

"It's enough to have your words. Fang Hanmin, as long as you work hard, miracles will definitely appear. After speaking, Yu Dongmei smiled and turned to leave.

Fang Hanmin stayed where he was for a minute or two, looking at Yu Dongmei's graceful back, he thought to himself: Yu Dongmei, why are you so confident in me? Why do you care so much about me?

Walking out of the teaching building, a cool breeze blew on his face, Fang Hanmin felt more comfortable than he had ever been, and his steps became very brisk.

However, looking at the unreachable stars in the night sky, after a short period of joy, Fang Hanmin immediately calmed down, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly, Hey! It's really self-inflicted, maybe Yu Dongmei just asked casually, where did I think of it? People are a white swan, just my poor and sour appearance, isn't it a toad who wants to eat swan meat? I don't have that luxury!

In a blink of an eye, on July 7th, the annual college entrance examination came as scheduled, and Fang Hanmin walked into the examination room with a calm mood.

After two and a half days, five courses, including mathematics, physics and chemistry and language and politics, were finally completed, and Fang Hanmin felt that the mathematics, physics and chemistry test papers were not too difficult, and although the language and politics test papers were also successfully answered, he always felt that it was not as easy as solving the mathematics, physics and chemistry test papers.

At the end of July, the candidates successively learned their college entrance examination scores from the school, and Fang Hanmin's results in mathematics, physics and chemistry were similar to what they expected, but the language and politics test was not ideal, especially the 100-point political test paper, he only scored 62 points, and the miracle did not appear.

After the news spread, not only the teachers and classmates who were familiar with Fang Hanmin felt sorry for him, but the villagers of Shuanghe Village also talked behind his back:

"I've heard for a long time that this baby has a good academic performance, why didn't she get in?"

"Now I have to go home and be a farmer with peace of mind! However, this baby is strong and smart, and he works in the field with everyone during the winter and summer vacations, which is really like that, and he is a farmer's material. ”

"Or go to the reservoir construction site to work during the winter vacation and delay the review, how can there be no homework at home near the college entrance examination? I heard that I went to the reservoir construction site to work as a temporary worker after the New Year, and I was injured, and I only returned to school in May, so it is strange that the delay has not affected the results of the college entrance examination for so long. Alas! His family killed the baby. ”

"Yes, people have delayed the pre-exam review time for two or three months, and they dare to take the college entrance examination, which in itself shows that this baby is really powerful, if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would give up the college entrance examination!" ......

Back at home, the family was also extremely disappointed, and her mother Xu Lihua said with some self-reproach: "Hanmin, it's all because we believed your words at the time, and agreed that you would go to work as a temporary worker in the future, but it delayed you, if only we didn't let you go to the reservoir construction site in the first place!" ”

"Hanmin, during your time at the reservoir construction site, you shouldn't have the energy to review, including being injured later, it will have too much impact on you!" Sister Fang Wenying also heard people outside talking about this matter.

Fang Xiecheng sat aside and smoked a cigarette, he felt sorry for his eldest son, "Hanmin, if you don't get injured at the reservoir construction site, and don't delay for two months before the college entrance examination, I think you should have no problem scoring more than ten points." ”

In the face of the outside world's discussion and the disappointment of his parents and family, Fang Hanmin disagreed, he didn't care very much about his failure in the college entrance examination, because of what had happened, no matter how much regret it would be useless, but he understood the feelings of his relatives and the outside world, after all, the impression he gave them was too different from reality!
