The countdown number written at the upper left end of the blackboard has been written to "36" days. And during these days, because they are busy, they will not have any time to think about anything that has nothing to do with the high school entrance examination. During this time, they also have to hold two mock exams, fill out volunteers, and fill out those important and unimportant forms. Watching the numbers on the blackboard decrease day by day, coupled with these trivial matters, and the constant warnings and reminders of parents and teachers, everyone's heart seems to be covered with a drum, and it is beating "dongdong" all the time. Forcing everyone to nibble on books and piles of thin and thick materials. Even the most lazy and hard-working classmates also used their skills at this time, as if they wanted to make a desperate bet. The learning atmosphere has never been stronger. 

Pan Suyu is even more so. She hadn't been home for three weeks to study. And the book "The Flower of Evil" was finally returned to Mr. Gao. She tried her best not to make any illusions, and got up early and returned late every day. Every day, she is always the first to arrive at the classroom and the last to leave. In addition to learning or learning. 

This morning, as soon as Su Yu woke up, she felt that her face was burning badly and she had a headache. She usually gets up before dawn, but today the wake-up bell rang for a long time, and she barely supported herself. She knew she was sick, but she didn't want to delay the lesson. She has a very important math paper to comment on this morning, and she didn't do well this time, so she had to listen to it. In addition, it is necessary to conduct a more important physical comprehensive test. Thinking of this, she struggled to sit up from the bed. But there seemed to be a force that pulled her down. She had to sit on the bed for a while, gasping for breath before struggling to get out of bed. But as soon as her feet touched the ground, her eyes turned black and her head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but her feet fluttered lightly without a trace of strength. She quickly grabbed the bed frame so that she didn't fall. I had no choice but to sit back on the bed and close my eyes for a few minutes. 

Ma Xiaoyu, who was in the same room, saw her like this, stepped forward and asked, "Suyu, what's wrong with you?" Are you sick? ”

She shook her head weakly, smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you, I'm fine." ”

"I think you're sick." As he spoke, he reached out and touched her forehead, "Ouch, your forehead is so hot, I'll take you to the doctor." ”

"It's fine. Thank you, I'll be fine in a while. You go to class first, I'll go to class after a break. ”

"Alas, you are so desperate! I'm going to go to class like this! Well, I still have a few antipyretic pills here, so you can try them first. I still advise you not to go to class and see a doctor first. You look really sick. If something goes wrong and it damages the body, wouldn't it be a bigger loss?" Ma Xiaoyu still persuaded her hard. 

"Thank you! I'm really fine. Su Yu took the medicine in her hand and looked at her gratefully. 

When some girls in the same dormitory heard that Su Yu was sick, they all ran over to ask her long and short questions, and they all advised her not to go to class. But after Su Yu took Ma Xiaoyu's medicine, she still went to the classroom. Lin Bei was already here, and saw her slowly drifting in. "Suyu, what's wrong with you today?" As he spoke, he patted the back of her hand and felt very hot, so he hurriedly touched her forehead again, "Oops, your forehead is so hot, you have a high fever!" Let's go, I'll accompany you to the doctor!" As he spoke, he took Su Yu's hot hand and stood up and wanted to leave. 

"No, Lin Bei, I've already taken medicine, it's okay, don't worry." 

Lin Bei still asked her to go to the doctor first, but Su Yu was very resolute, so she had to give up. 

In math class, Suyu tried her best to keep herself under control, trying to keep herself focused on listening, trying to make herself forget the pain like pincers and the burning heat like fire. She bit her pale, dry lip tightly to allow the pain to divert somewhat. But her head was so heavy that she had to put one hand on her head and the other hand to record mechanically. Finally got through a class, and she could barely support it. When she got up from class, her eyes went dark and she almost collapsed, but fortunately she had the support of the table. But she was so tired that she lay on the table panting. Lin Bei, who was on the side, said worriedly: "Suyu, I think you should stop going to class, go see a doctor and go back to the dormitory to rest." It's useless for you to hold on like this, how can you concentrate on listening?" 

"It's okay, I can support it, you can rest assured. The next class is a physics quiz, and I'm going to take it. Su Yu's red eyes had a kind of stubborn firmness.

When doing the physics test, Su Yu only felt that her head was so heavy that it seemed to pull her to the ground. Her head hurt so much, as if a thousand knives were cutting her, and it seemed like it was about to be cut open. The head became heavier and more painful, and the heat extended from the face to the hands and feet, and then from the hands and feet back to the head, and to the whole body. It was like a volcanic eruption in her mind, as if it was going to melt her whole, burn her whole to ashes, and drown her in boiling magma. The handwriting on the test paper is getting blurred...... She tried to keep her eyes open a little and a little more, but they disobediently sank desperately, and sank ...... A rush of heat and pain and fatigue came over her. Finally, her eyelids closed uncontrollably heavily. Losing the last bit of lucid consciousness, with his head down, he doesn't know anything...... 

There was a commotion in the classroom, and the "Alarm Clock" rushed forward, and without saying a word, he picked up Su Yu and ran to the school doctor's office. 

Because Su Yu accidentally offended her father, he threw it into the fire and barbecued. Su Yu was tormented in the stove, begging him with tears: "Dad, please, please let me out." Daddy, let me out. I'm your own daughter! Don't, don't burn me, don't ......" But no matter how much she cried and pleaded, Pan Shixiong was still indifferent, but laughed out loud, added some charcoal to the stove, and took a fan to fan the fire even more. He laughed at her and said, "I'm going to burn you to death, I'm going to burn you to ashes and smoke, so that you won't contradict me again, and you won't be a father and a mother again." You're dead, and I'm one less burden. Ha ...... "

"Oh, Dad, please don't, please don't burn me, don't ......" She only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, more and more weak, and she felt that she was being melted and melted inch by inch...... 

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly felt thrown into a cold and dark ice kiln. It was dark, not a glimmer of light, not a shred of sound, not a shred of heating. Except for the cold or the cold, except for the darkness and the darkness. She was screaming in horror, Dad, Mom, Lin Bei, Aunt Xu, Teacher Gao...... But no one answered her, not even an echo, and her own echo was swallowed up in the cold. It's cold, it's cold! Her heart was almost frozen. "Suyu, Suyu......" A call came from a distant place, it seemed that Lin Bei was calling her, and it seemed to be her mother. But when she tried to catch the voice, it disappeared in an instant. She fell back into the coldness of the darkness. She really wanted to grasp something, even if it was a straw, but she couldn't grasp anything. She fumbled for an exit, but there were cold, thick walls of ice all around. She was crying for help, she was crying, but no one heard her. There was still dead silence all around, stepping on my feet, touching my hands, and breathing in my mouth and nose was full of cold airflow. She was desperate, feeling like she was being frozen, frozen, little by little...... 

It seems that a century has passed, the furnace, the ice kiln, the heat, the cold...... It's all gone. The body is warm as bathed in warm spring light. Ah, it seems that there are still people calling her, and there are people crying, and when she listens carefully, it seems to be her mother. Ah, my mother is calling me, and I am still crying, it must be because I accidentally provoked my father, and my mother is angry with my father again. "Oh, no, Daddy bullied her, why is she crying and calling me? Am I dead? No, I'm not dead, Mom, I'm not dead! Don't be sad, don't cry. She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them as if they were glued by all-purpose glue. She still wanted to scream, but her throat felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed, and she couldn't scream. So, after a few moments, the mother's screams faded away, and finally the surroundings fell silent again...... 

After a long time, she felt a strong light shining on her eyes, which made her eyes hurt, and she opened her eyelids slightly: "What is this place?" Am I dead? Oh yes, I'm sure I've gone to heaven, only heaven has such a white world. Oh no, how can anyone cry in heaven? Is there suffering in heaven too?" She followed the prestige, wondering, how could she be a mother? And Lin Bei and Aunt Xu, did they also come to heaven? How so? Isn't mom happy when she goes to heaven? 

"Mom—" she cried faintly. 

"Suyu, you've slept for a day." Tang Baozhu said with a bitter face. 

"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, you hurry home and take care of your sister."

Su Yu looked at her mother's godless eyes, and felt sad in her heart, and tears flowed down. 

The next day, in her sleep, Sook heard Pan Shixiong and Tang Baozhu arguing in front of her hospital bed. Dad said hatefully, "I said a long time ago that this dead girl is evil. Why else would my mom die as soon as she came out? Why did I break my head and bleed as soon as she was born? How could several sons be killed in her stomach in a row? Now, the men and women of such age in the village will go and earn their own money, but she not only needs someone to support her and provide her with education. Now this disease is still being born for no reason to harm people! What about typhoid fever, I said that it was a disease of money, and stacks of money hurt her like this. She is comfortable, lying there and sleeping peacefully, but I have to run around for her to borrow debts, and I am embarrassed! She eats and sleeps well here, and people serve her, but let our whole family drink gruel and boil pickles and dried radishes at home!" 

Tang Baozhu had the courage to defend his daughter: "How can you blame Ayu? She didn't mean to get sick. ”

"Who told her to be poor and delicate? Who told her not to be angry? Am I not telling the truth! She didn't count the fact that her illness cost me a lot of money, and she said that she couldn't eat hard things for a month, who would have the leisure to serve her? What a fucking loser, a plague god who remembers her father and mother and harms her brother and sister!" He cursed incessantly, and walked around the room, inhaling the inferior grass smoke so hard that the smoke rolled out of his nostrils and mouth like a thick cloud, filling the room with smoke. Some of the people in the same ward had already made disgust, but he didn't care, and continued to inhale and spit smoke as he snorted. 

"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ...... "Su Yu had already woken up, listening to the conversation of her parents, and her heart felt like a piece of meat had been stripped of her. She closed her eyes tightly, and tears poured out of her eyes. She hated herself, why did she get sick...... 

Pan Shixiong glared at his daughter irritably, dissatisfied and with some disgust, and when he saw her tears, his anger became even stronger, "Why the fuck are you lying here and crying comfortably?" You're in the mood to cry! Do you know that Lao Tzu borrows debts for you every day?" 

"Ayu, don't listen to his nonsense, take care of your illness."

"Mom, I'm sorry for you!"

"You know you're sorry for us? If you had known, you wouldn't have made this disease!" Pan Shixiong doesn't care so much about her. 

"Can't you just say a few words?"

"Suyu, don't care about those unreasonable people, don't think so much, take care of your illness first." Lin Bei walked in as she spoke, her face flushed with anger. She had just heard Pan Shixiong's roar outside the door. She walked to Su Yu's bed with Meng Haolun, but saw Su Yu crying with grief, Meng Haolun looked at the tall, dark bearded man in front of him, and a sense of déjà vu surged in his heart, it was his father. In an instant, he seemed to have understood everything about Suyu. 

"Hey, who's the unreasonable? I know you're a nosy, little girl. Do you remember the last slap? It's my daughter, what do I have to do with her? Where is your turn?"

"I know you have a lot of strength, and I know that you are very brave, how can I not remember your last slap? But you always use your brute force to bully these women and children, what kind of hero are you?" Lin Bei was not afraid of him.

"I said that you little girl is really impatient, see if I don't kill you." As he spoke, his eyes were already showing a fierce light. 

"You go quickly, don't be embarrassed here." 

"If I don't leave, why am I embarrassed?" Pan Shixiong opened a pair of white triangular eyes. 

"Please be quiet, the patient needs to rest, please don't make loud noises." The nurse said solemnly. 

Pan Shixiong glared at the young nurse, then at Tang Baozhu and Lin Bei hatefully, and walked away with a "hum". 

Two days later, Su Yu was able to stand up on her own, although her hands and feet were still soft and had no strength, but other than that, everything was as usual, her mind was very clear, and her spirit was better. So, she asked to be discharged from the hospital. But the doctor refused to agree to anything, saying that her body was too weak and needed to be recuperated, and that this disease was very dangerous if it was not well recuperated. But Su Yu is strongly concerned about her homework, and the most important point is that hospitalization costs money, and every extra day you stay in, you have to spend an extra amount of money. "I'm going to take the high school entrance exam soon, and we're going to take a mock exam the day after tomorrow. Doctor, please be okay and let me go back to school. Under Suyu's pleading, the doctor finally agreed to discharge her. Tell her not to overwork, take medicine, and try to eat liquid, high-nutrient food. 

In the afternoon, Su Yu was ready to be discharged from the hospital, Lin Bei's mother and daughter and Meng Haolun came, and Pan Shixiong also came. Before she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told Tang Baozhu that she must pay attention to supplementing her nutrition after being discharged from the hospital, because she suffers from slight malnutrition. Also be careful not to let her work too hard and be sure to take a break. ”

Finally able to be discharged from the hospital, this is what many people are looking forward to day and night. But the first problem encountered in the discharge is: where should Pan Suyu go? Let's go back to the dormitory, where can I provide her with liquid food for meals at school? Su Yu's body is so weak, how can she do it without anyone to take care of her? Go home, seeing that the high school entrance examination is imminent, where is the home environment suitable for reading and reviewing? But if you don't go home, where do you go?

Tang Baozhu suddenly cried "whining". "Ayu, we're sorry for you!" 

"Mom, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's dragging you down......" Su Yu also cried. 

"If only you fucking knew!" Seeing the tears of their mother and daughter, Pan Shixiong yelled in disgust and rudely: "You girls will only cry, and you will cry for nothing." Won't you use your brain to think of ideas, and cry to get a place to cry?" After a while, he said to Su Yu arrogantly and non-negotiablely: "Ayu, don't go to the test, go home with us!" What bird books do children of poor families read? You can't afford to be admitted to Lao Tzu!" 

"No!" Su Yu struggled and said. This is undoubtedly equivalent to her life, these days, she has worked desperately, how many things have been sacrificed for it, how much suffering has she suffered, how much sweat she has spent, how can she give up?! 

"If you don't do it, you have to do it, to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu doesn't have so much money for you to study, and it's useless to be admitted. Besides, our ancestors didn't cultivate so many yin virtues, so they can bless you from being admitted! If you want to study, you should have chosen rich parents when you were born, and you shouldn't have been born with us!" 

Why is God teasing me like this? Am I destined not to escape the cage of fate, to be locked up in that prison forever? Why don't you give me even the last bit of hope? Who says knowledge doesn't draw boundaries because of money? Who's to say it won't? If you can't afford to pay your tuition? Money, I hate you, I hate you, you make me poor, sick and sad, you make it difficult for me to step by step, you kill my right and opportunity to study! Why? Why is the world so unfair? Why? Why! The more Su Yu's heart thought about it, the colder it became, and the more she thought about it, the more painful it became. I couldn't say anything, and the tears couldn't stop flowing. 

Lin Bei pulled Mrs. Lin's sleeve and pouted at Su Yu. Mrs. Lin then stood up and said, "Uncle Pan, Aunt Pan, don't quarrel yet. If you can trust me, you can let Su Yu come to live in our house, my family has a relatively small population, and it is more lively to have one more person, and my family lives close to the school. I think I can take care of her on your behalf, don't worry. This kid is so smart, I don't know how sorry it is if he doesn't read!" 

Hearing this, Pan Shixiong and Tang Baozhu both raised their heads and looked at this Guanyin-like woman who was a little short and chubby, and they couldn't believe the good thing that flew in front of them. 

"Are you telling the truth?" Pan Shixiong asked. 

"Of course it's true." 

"Sister-in-law Lin, that's too much trouble for you, how can we be happy?" Tang Baozhu's face was full of gratitude. 

"Nothing. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, and there's no trouble in cooking one more person's meal, just add an extra pair of chopsticks. ”

"That, that's good. We'll entrust Ayu to you. Thank you for your hard work. Tang Baozhu was so grateful that he burst into tears, but his heart was extremely relieved, and a smile appeared on his face that was almost forgotten. Deep down, she also hopes that her daughter can get ahead one day, and hopes that her daughter can live a better life. 

Pan Shixiong was very happy, and said to Mrs. Lin with a smile of relief: "You are so good, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you with a long life and wealth." ”

For as long as she can remember, Su Yuda has rarely seen her parents so happy and relaxed. There was only one time, and that was the day his younger brother Sutang was born. When Pan Shixiong learned that his wife had finally given birth to a son, he immediately ran out of the door happily and shouted loudly, "Haha, I, Pan Shixiong, finally have a son, have a son!" Haha...... "That day, he, who had always been fierce, actually sent the midwife out of the house with a smile on his face, and would politely thank her. He usually yells and scolds his wife and daughter as soon as he opens his mouth, but that day he will feel sorry for his wife, cook a few eggs for her to eat, and happily pick up his little son and shake it to play. There is a trace of fatherly love that has never been seen in Suyu almost before, and it looks like a father. He hadn't beaten or scolded his daughters all day. And Tang Baozhu, who had long forgotten what a smile was, actually appeared with a smile of relief on her sallow face, which was already covered with fine wrinkles! 

On that day, the hearts of the whole family were filled with joy and hope. Su Yu was even more naïve to think that this newborn little brother could sweep away the gloomy fog that shrouded the family from now on, and bring light to the family from now on, thinking that from now on their family could live happily and happily like today. However, this is a naïve wish after all. It was only on the third day, but on the third day, Pan Shixiong reverted to his old ways, and he went out to drink and gamble again. When he came back drunk, he punched and kicked them again, and scolded them with foul language. Even, he didn't even let go of his wife who was lying on the bed, Su Yu didn't remember that because of a trivial matter, Tang Baozhu accosted him, and he immediately squinted his drunken eyes and scolded: "Fuck, you stinky mother-in-law, you still lie on the bed and don't get up to work!" Do you think it's great to have a son, so you don't have to get up and work anymore? Are you demonstrating to me or something? I'm telling you, I'm not buying it! A hen that can't give birth to a child is still there to think she is sorry! I can tell you, get up for me quickly, and leave my business alone!" 

Tang Baozhu has given birth for so many years, and now she has finally given birth to a living son, and her already weak body is even weaker, how can she have the strength? She listened to her husband's arrogant and unreasonable drunken words, and she was powerless to talk back, but tears poured into the towel pillow. Su Yu cried very sadly that day, and her dream was completely shattered! 

Since that time, it seems that the family has not seen such a relaxed and joyful smile of my parents. And today, they laughed again, because finally someone took care of their troubled daughter on their behalf! Someone finally took over the heavy burden on their behalf! 

"Sister-in-law Lin, then it's decided, we will entrust her to you. Let's go!" As he spoke, he quickly pushed his wife, and strode forward without looking back. Tang Baozhu followed her husband, turned around several times, seemed to have tears in her eyes, stopped talking, and finally disappeared at the end of the shade. 

Su Yu stared blankly at the back of her parents who were far away, her thoughts seemed to be stagnant, she didn't think about anything, she didn't feel anything. The whole person seems to be empty. None of this is as dream-like, unreal. Until Mrs. Lin said softly in her ear, "Suyu, let's go!" 

Su Yu looked at Mrs. Lin's loving and gentle face, her heart was sour, and she suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly: "Auntie-"

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry. Everything will be fine, it will be fine. Mrs. Lin's eyes were a little wet, and she really didn't know how to comfort the poor child. 

Lin Bei has been quietly looking at the special pair of parents of the Pan family. I hate and sad in my heart, I hate that they don't have a trace of tenderness for Su Yu as a parent, and what is sad is that Su Yu's fate is so miserable. She looked at her good friend who was crying bitterly in her mother's arms, looked into the distance with empty eyes, and said to her mother emptyly: "Mom, don't persuade her, just let her cry enough, so that it may be better for her." "Yes, if it were for her, she wouldn't know how to be sad, maybe she wouldn't just cry, she wouldn't know what to do. 

Su Yu didn't know how long she cried, and she didn't know how many strange looks she had attracted. When she finally felt a little more comfortable, she slowly left Mrs. Lin's embrace, "I'm sorry to make you sad with me." ”

"Silly boy, how can you say such an outrageous thing? Don't say anything now, just feel comfortable. From now on, you don't have to think about anything yet, and everything will wait until the test is over. You can live in my house for a short time. ”

"Auntie, I really don't know what to say. I really want to call you 'Mommy'. Su Yu's tears still didn't stop. 

"If you want, if you don't dislike it, then call it. I am blessed to have a sensible daughter like you. ”

"Mom-" Su Yu fell on Mrs. Lin's body and cried again. 

"Oh, that's great! Suyu, we are now a family, and you have another sister!" Lin Bei clapped her hands and cheered. 

"Okay, good boy, don't cry, your body is just a little better, and you will cry badly. Let's go home now. Mrs. Lin said and took Su Yu's hand and said affectionately, "You will be a member of our family in the future, don't be polite to us." ”

Su Yu nodded with tears in her eyes, her heart full of bitterness. 

In this way, Su Yu lived in the Lin family. This small building, which used to be quiet, is now filled with laughter as soon as the two of them return. Under the care and concern of the Lin family's mother and daughter, Su Yu recovered quickly. And learning is slowly returning to normal. Life doesn't seem to lack bright colors. Although Suyu did not get the desired goal in the second mock test, her results were okay, and her overall score ranked fourth in the whole grade. It's an improvement from last time. Lin Bei finally lost to Meng Haolun and ranked second by two points, so angry that Lin Bei chased Meng Haolun and beat him hard, saying that this time he took shit luck, if it wasn't for Su Yu's illness, this first position would definitely not be his. In addition, the article that Su Yu sent to a municipal newspaper half a month ago was actually published. This added a ray of light to Su Yu's life. 
