A line of words is prominently written on it:

Tuberculous pleurisy.

Then there are two eye-catching official seals: the County College Entrance Examination Physical Examination Committee and the County People's Hospital.

A bolt from the blue.

For the first time, Zhang Jiaze grasped the true meaning of this idiom.

Then there was the whirlwind.

How so? How so? He kept muttering to himself, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

The head teacher, an old teacher in his fifties, said, "I'm sorry, child, it's all my fault, I don't usually care enough about you......"

Zhang Jiaze knelt down in front of the head teacher with a "plop":

"Teacher, is there no other way?"

"Hey-" The head teacher sighed and said, "I have also thought of other methods, I originally had a student in the county hospital, and now I am the director of the internal medicine department, I have specifically looked for him, but he said that he was a step late, if he could explain the situation to him before the physical examination, he could still think of a way, but now that the results have come out, and there are people from the education committee present to supervise, it is almost impossible to change this outcome." ”

Zhang Jiaze got up from the ground, bowed deeply to the homeroom teacher, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Yes, he sincerely thanked the homeroom teacher.

The homeroom teacher gave him another 200 yuan and said: "I know that your family situation is not very good, and the most urgent thing you need to do now is to go to the hospital to see a doctor. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. You can go to the hospital for this money, and I will call my student immediately and ask him to take care of him more. ”

Until now, I can only follow the arrangement of the homeroom teacher. Since he was a child, no one has ever been as considerate to him as the homeroom teacher.

Yes, who will forget those who helped you when you needed it most in your life?

Zhang Jiaze came to the People's Hospital and found the student of the class teacher, Director Xiang of the Department of Internal Medicine of the People's Hospital.

"You're that student of Teacher Tang at the Key Middle School, right? Mr. Tang has already told me. ”

As soon as they met, Director Xiang said with some complaints: "Young man, why don't you pay attention to your body!" ”

Zhang Jiaze said in his heart, it's not that I don't pay attention, but what do I pay attention to?

Director Xiang took him directly to a dark room and made him stand on an instrument:

"Take a deep breath – yes, that's it."

When he was about to enter the door, Zhang Jiaze saw a sign on the door that read "Chest Penetration Room".

After the examination, Director Xiang gave him another note, and then instructed a nurse: "Xiao Wu, take this patient to bed No. 32." ”

After speaking, a beautiful nurse came over and said to Zhang Jiaze gently, "Please follow me." ”

In this way, Zhang Jiaze was admitted to the hospital.

During those days in the hospital, Zhang Jiaze was disheartened. For the first time, he felt the preciousness of his body, and looked out the window at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, and felt that they were so rich. If I were still in school, I would only have to take the college entrance examination in two or three weeks.

However, according to the regulations on the physical examination of the college entrance examination, a disease like him is not even qualified to take the college entrance examination.

Why didn't you pay attention to it before?

After so many years of hard work, I didn't expect this to be the result in the end.

Why? Why......

How will he return to Jiangnan Village to face his parents?

What choice will he make in the rest of his life?

Why was fate so unfair to him?

In the days on the hospital bed, what he thought about the most was Hua Xingcan.

She has been out of touch for a year and a half, where has she gone?

What was it that kept her away from herself?

What about those vows in the first place? What about those beautiful dreams of going to university together?

It's just over a year later, and now it seems that those words, like a gust of wind, are far away and out of reach.

What exactly changed all that?

A steel needle more than two feet long is inserted into the ribcage through the gap between the third and fourth ribs in the back.

"Bear with me, if you feel numb, shout." Said to the director.

After lying in the hospital for four or five days, the operation finally began.

Zhang Jiaze gritted his teeth and held on.

A plastic tube connected the needle to a plastic bottle, and in a short time, the fluid in the chest cavity was filled with a large bottle. The doctor hurriedly replaced the second bottle.

It wasn't until the second bottle was almost full that Director Xiang stopped his movements, pulled out the needle, and let Zhang Jiaze lie down on the bed to rest.

After two more days of observation in the hospital, he was finally discharged.

Before leaving, Director Xiang came to the ward and said to Zhang Jiaze:

"Remember, when you get home, continue to take your medication, which can help you bake fluid in your chest. This is a chronic disease, and the treatment has to be done slowly, and I will come back for a check-up after half a year. ”

Zhang Jiaze nodded: "Thank you!" Thank you ......."

Director Xiang finally patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Young man, it's not much for the time being. I heard that you have good grades, this opportunity was missed, there is another chance, prepare well, you can still take the college entrance examination next year. ”

Hearing Director Xiang say this, Zhang Jiaze suddenly felt that the future was bright again.

Yes, just wait another year, and he can still take the college entrance examination.
