Chapter 619
"Hey, Lao Zhou, aren't you going to hand in your homework? Let's go, I'll go with you." ”
As soon as class ended, Zhou Guangming stood up with his schoolbag on his back, intending to find Xiaoyu. However, Shao Zhuang hurriedly stood up, grabbed Zhou Guangming and said.
"But I have something to do now, so why don't you help me get it and hand it over." Zhou Guangming knew what Shao Zhuang was planning, it was nothing more than taking advantage of the time to hand in his homework, maybe he could have a chance encounter with the big beauty in his mouth.
"Ouch~ Lao Zhou, Brother Ming, big guy! Okay, help me this time! Let's go!" Shao Zhuang hurriedly picked up the homework on Zhou Guangming's desk, and pushed Zhou Guangming towards the teacher's office, worried that he would not be able to touch her if he was late.
"Okay, okay, let's go hand in our homework first. Zhou Guangming had no choice but to agree.
On the way to the teacher's office, passing by Xiaoyu's class, Zhou Guangming slowed down and poked his head to look inside, but he didn't find Xiaoyu's figure, and he felt a little lost. On the contrary, a few girls whispered there after seeing Zhou Guangming passing by.
Shao Zhuang's mind is now full of the girl in his mind, and he didn't notice Zhou Guangming's mood changes, but urged Zhou Guangming to hurry up, and it would be too late to go.
Zhou Guangming had no choice but to put down his thoughts first, and wait for Shao Zhuang to see the girl.
At the end of the corridor, there is the teacher's office, the door is ajar, Zhou Guangming pushed the door in, Shao Zhuang followed closely behind, his eyes immediately kept scanning the office, and it turned out that the Chinese teacher who taught Zhou Guangming's class in the office was chatting with a girl.
The girl had her back to Zhou Guangming and them, tall and tall, with long black hair like a waterfall draped behind her back, wearing white sneakers, and a pair of long legs like chopsticks, which were particularly thin, and the legs were particularly good-looking.
Just looking at the back, it is very charming and full of girlish atmosphere.
"Su Hui, you have just come to our school, and you need to have a good relationship with your classmates, especially now that you are the representative of the Chinese department of our class. I heard that your grades were very good before, continue to maintain it, and then rise higher, if you don't understand anything, ask the classmates in the class..."The Chinese teacher is a young unmarried woman named Fan Haiqing. Under the age of thirty, although the appearance is not very prominent, but the figure is very good, under the background of professional attire, * Ying Ying can be held. Seeing Zhou Guangming coming in, he continued: "That is Zhou Guangming from Class 5, who has very good Chinese grades and great composition, and has won awards in our city. You can ask Zhou Guangming for advice on writing. ”
The girl turned around after listening, and it happened that Zhou Guangming also came to the side, and the two looked at each other, and Zhou Guangming couldn't help but sigh that it was really a big beauty. Qi thick bangs under a delicate goose egg face is still a little baby fat, faint willow eyebrows hidden in the bangs looming, a pair of pearl-like big eyes are clear and translucent, bright and moving, as well as the small and erect nose, the dimples of the cheeks with a shallow smile, and the pink mouth is slightly open like a cherry, revealing the sharp little tiger teeth inside, which is very cute.
Anyone who sees it will have a heart-pounding feeling like first love, not to mention a young man like Shao Zhuang who has just fallen in love.
"Hello, I'm Su Hui from Class 4. That girl, Su Hui stretched out her hand and said to Zhou Guangming.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Guangming from Class 5. Zhou Guangming hurriedly put the homework on Fan Haiqing's desk, stretched out his hand and shook Su Hui politely.
Sure enough, the hands of the beautiful women are different, the hands are soft and boneless, and the skin is extremely delicate.
"Hello, I'm Shao Zhuang, Zhou Guangming's good buddy, you can find me if you have something. When Shao Zhuang saw Zhou Guangming shaking hands with Su Hui, he hurriedly stepped up, stretched out his hand and smiled.
But the smile is a little obscene.
"Hello. Su Hui smiled a little embarrassedly, but didn't stretch out her hand.
"Okay, the teacher has something to do at noon, so hurry up and go home for dinner. Fan Haiqing picked up his bag, and at this time the teachers in the office were gone, only Fan Haiqing was still inside.
"Goodbye, teacher. ”
"Goodbye, teacher. ”
"Goodbye, teacher. ”
Zhou Guangming, Shao Zhuang, and Fan Haiqing left the office first, but Zhou Guangming did not go to the school gate, but planned to return to Xiaoyu's class to see if there was anyone inside, and wanted to ask Xiaoyu about the situation.
"Zhou Guangming, I heard that you write very well and have written novels on the Internet. Otherwise, let's go to the cafeteria and I'd like to ask you some tips on how to write narratives. After leaving the office, Su Hui looked at Zhou Guangming and said.
"Okay, okay, let's go together, I'm in for a treat. In fact, I am also very talented in writing, I want to be the beginning..."Shao Zhuang heard this, and before Zhou Guangming could speak, he hurriedly agreed.
"I'm sorry, classmate Su Hui, I still have something to do, why don't you go with Shao Zhuang, and I'll talk about it next time I have time." Zhou Guangming only has Xiaoyu in his heart now, and Su Hui is the girl that Shao Zhuang likes, so Zhou Guangming doesn't want to have too much contact with Su Hui.
"Alright then, let's go another day, I'll go back first, bye-bye. Su Hui saw that Zhou Guangming was absent-minded and seemed to have something on his mind, so he said, and then turned around and left.
"Hey, Su Hui, why don't we just go to dinner, I'm also very good at writing, and I can also write novels! I'll teach you, Su Hui, you go slowly!" Shao Zhuang saw Su Hui leaving, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly shouted behind him.
However, Su Hui ignored it, and walked farther and farther, until the figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Shao Zhuang retracted his gaze, looking dejected.
"Old Zhou, what a good opportunity you said this is..."Shao Zhuang turned his head very annoyed, said to Zhou Guangming, and found that Zhou Guangming also walked away, heading straight for Xiaoyu's classroom.
"Alas~ people's hearts are not ancient, and they are careless in making friends. Such a good opportunity. Alas~" Shao Zhuang looked at Zhou Guangming's back again, knowing that Zhou Guangming was looking for Xiaoyu, so he had no choice but to go back to cook by himself, and he had to face his shaking uncle. As soon as he thought of this, Shao Zhuang felt a lot of grievances in his heart.
Zhou Guangming was very nervous at this time, worried that there was no one in the classroom.
When Zhou Guangming walked to the classroom where Xiaoyu was, there was only a fat girl with acne on her face reading there, and when she heard the movement, she immediately raised her head and found that it was Zhou Guangming.
The fat girl is Xiaoyu's good friend, named He Duo. Seeing Zhou Guangming coming in and walking towards him, He Duo took out an envelope from the drawer, handed it to Zhou Guangming, and then buried his head in reading, and said in his mouth: "Zhou Guangming, you are finally here, this is what Xiaoyu entrusted me to transfer to you." Take it for yourself, don't ask me, I don't know anything. ”
"He Duo, can you tell me, where is Xiaoyu?" Zhou Guangming asked, holding the letter in his hand, his palms began to sweat.
"I don't know, Xiaoyu hasn't been to school for a few days, and it is said that she has transferred to another school, she just put the letter here with me, and I don't know anything else, don't ask me. He Duo lowered his head, unwilling to communicate too much with Zhou Guangming.
"How, how could it be," Zhou Guangming lost his mind suddenly, his brain was blank, as if his soul had been drained away.
After a pause, Zhou Guangming walked out of the classroom, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Xiaoyu's number.
"Toot ~ The number you dialed is empty, please check it and then dial ~"
After Zhou Guangming heard it, the whole person was stunned, the mobile phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and the screen was shattered, unaware.
"Empty number, how can it be an empty number, is Xiaoyu really going to break up with me?"
Zhou Guangming couldn't accept it at all, his hands trembled, and he took out a letter with beautiful handwriting from the envelope.
Zhou Guangming, when you read this letter, I don't know where I am now, maybe I have already gone abroad. I've been with you for a whole year, and I'm happy with everything you've done for me, but I'm still going to say: I'm sorry, let's break up.
Sorry, I didn't have a choice. Although I still want to watch a movie with you and drink the milk tea you bought for me. Go shopping with you, wear the dress you bought for me, wear the hat you bought for me, hold hands with you, and walk freely on the road. We read books together, we traveled together, we went to the beach to watch the sunrise together, we did all the things we used to do and what we didn't have time to do. But it's too late, I'm leaving, I hope you don't feel bad.
I've been happy with you for the past year, whether it's downstairs at my house or secretly dating at school. Thank you for the table lamp you bought me, I turn it on every time I sleep, it is just like you, it brings me light. Whenever I think of the first date we went on and you confessed to me with a red face, I think you are so cute and handsome. At that moment, my heart was touched by you. From now on, I will only have you in my heart.
When I was held in your arms, I felt so happy. Your embrace, really warm, thank you.
And your kisses, suffocate me and intoxicate me.
All along, I have silently accepted the love you give, but I have always lost my temper with you. I'm sorry, I know I'm very willful, and I'm actually sad every time I get angry at you for no reason. But you know me, I have such a bad temper, and I can't control myself. So every time I get angry at you, I regret it and blame myself. But you don't blame me, but you keep comforting me and telling me stories, and I'm really happy and touched. It was your sunny warm and handsome smile that healed me and made me start to become sensible and learn to care about the people around me. I just want to say, thankfully with you, it illuminates my heart.
Bright, please forgive me for saying goodbye, this is the last time I will be willful.
You're so good, you're so handsome, you don't know how to walk on the street, and those girls look at you with eyes that make me so jealous. How can you be so handsome, so eye-catching, so patient, so gentle and considerate. Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life.
I'm so envious, I don't know which lucky girl will be by your side after I'm gone. But it doesn't matter, I'm already satisfied that you can be happy.
I am so grateful to have met you during this wonderful time, it was the greatest surprise that God gave me.
Forget me - poetry rain.
At the end of the reading, Zhou Guangming could no longer control the squatting on the ground and crying, tears raining down.
On this day, Zhou Guangming ran all the places where he stayed with Xiaoyu, and every street and alley in the entire Nanhai City, frantically looking for Xiaoyu's figure. The result was that Zhou Guangming was disappointed and found nothing. I searched everywhere, Zhou Guangming really didn't know where to go, and stood stupidly downstairs at Xiaoyu's house. The orange street lamp hit Zhou Guangming's body, elongating the shadow, looking so lonely and lonely.
The letter was folded by Zhou Guangming and put in his pocket, and Zhou Guangming sat in the corner as if no one was there, next to the trash can, his face full of tears. After running all day, my chest burned like a furnace, and my heart was uncomfortable and numb. My mind was full of Xiaoyu's voice and smile, lingering.
Zhou Guangming couldn't accept this fact, but the reality was like this. Originally, Zhou Guangming thought that he could grow old with Xiaoyu slowly, but now it has become a luxury to see Xiaoyu.
I don't know how long he sat there, Zhou Guangming stood up helplessly, dirty, like a beggar living on the street.
When Zhou Guangming returned home, Zhou Guoquan and Li Xiuying sat on the sofa, and the two looked preoccupied. Seeing Zhou Guangming come back, his face showed a hint of joy. However, seeing Zhou Guangming dragging his body like a walking corpse, his eyes were empty, his body was dirty and smelly, and the whole person seemed to have no energy.
"Guangming, your homeroom teacher called me this afternoon, you didn't have classes in the afternoon or evening, and you didn't answer your calls, where did you go? Zhou Guoquan was very angry at Zhou Guangming's skipping class, and originally wanted to give a good training. But seeing Zhou Guangming's dejected appearance, he was worried.
"Ming'er, how did you become like this? It can't be that you were bullied by others, right? Tell your parents what's going on?" Li Xiuying hurriedly went to Zhou Guangming's side and said eagerly.
"I'm fine, I'm going to take a shower first. After Zhou Guangming finished speaking, he stiffly went back to the house to get towels and clothes, and then entered the bathroom under the gaze of Zhou Guoquan and his wife.
Zhou Guoquan and Li Xiuying looked at each other, and they were very anxious, speculating wildly.
After all, Zhou Guangming's heart was like ashes, and Zhou Guoquan and his wife looked really uncomfortable.
"Dad, you go back to sleep first, and when Ming'er comes out, I'll ask him what's going on." Li Xiuying looked at Zhou Guoquan with a tired look, and she couldn't bear it, so she spoke.
"That's okay, Xiao Ming has always been very obedient, you can tell him well, I'll sleep first, and you can rest early." Zhou Guoquan stood up and walked to the room.
Li Xiuying looked at the TV, but she silently watched the situation on Zhou Guangming's side. When Zhou Guangming finished taking a bath, his body was extremely refreshed, but his face was still lonely, and he dragged back to the room, and Li Xiuying followed closely behind.
"Mom, are you okay? I'm going to sleep. Zhou Guangming didn't look back, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and said weakly.
"Mom is fine, I just want to talk to you. Li Xiuying turned on the light and looked at Zhou Guangming on the bed, without the sunshine of the past, she felt distressed.
Zhou Guangming didn't speak, one hand pressed his forehead, covering his eyes, trying to hide his red and swollen eyes.
"That girl named Xiaoyu is your girlfriend, she is a very good girl. Li Xiuying looked at the table, and in the frame, the innocent girl in light blue.
Zhou Guangming was shocked, but he smiled helplessly, it seemed that he still didn't hide it from his parents. Not long after Zhou Guangming and Xiaoyu were together, the cost of living rose silently. It seems that Li Xiuying has known for a long time, and she has acquiesced in her heart.
Li Xiuying saw that Zhou Guangming still didn't speak, smiled knowingly, touched Zhou Guangming's face, I don't know when, Zhou Guangming has begun to gradually fade away from immaturity and gradually grow up.
"Mom won't tell anyone about you. Mom believes in you and believes that you can handle your own affairs. Over the years, your parents have often ignored you when you are busy with work, and it is your parents who are sorry for you. But don't blame your father, he is all for this family, so that you can have a future in the future, get ahead, and live a good life in the future. When our family moved out, your father has been silently undertaking everything, after so many years, your father did not have the courage to go back, did not dare to face your grandfather, this is not his fault, nor your grandfather's fault, let alone your fault. ”
Li Xiuying told quietly, looking at Zhou Guangming's eyes full of affection and deep affection. There was no change on Zhou Guangming's face, but he silently grabbed the quilt with one hand, and the green tendons were prominent.
"You are sensible when you are young, and you never cause trouble for us, and your grandfather used to like to take you around and praise people when he met them. But when your dad took you away, your grandfather was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and your uncle came back to take care of him. Your dad hasn't come home for so many years, in fact, he feels very uncomfortable, and every Chinese New Year he hides at home and drinks alone, and he has to pretend that he is fine. Don't blame your dad, he's already bitter. ”
Zhou Guangming was still motionless, but the amplitude of the rise and fall of his chest increased a little.
"Bright, my parents don't ask you to soar now, how much money do you make to come back to honor your parents. As long as you can be happy, your parents will be relieved. As for your affairs, your parents will not interfere in the future. As long as you are upright, we will not force you. ”
After Li Xiuying finished speaking, she couldn't say it anymore, she couldn't control her emotions, and when Zhou Guangming put her arm down, Li Xiuying had already turned off the light and left the room.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I disappointed you..."Zhou Guangming covered his head and couldn't cry.
In fact, when Zhou Guangming was doing his homework, he occasionally stopped thinking about it, and he would unconsciously look at the photo with Xiaoyu on the desktop, sometimes he was still there in a daze, the market was holding his mobile phone, staring at the screen and smirking there, sometimes Li Xiuying got up at night to cover Zhou Guangming with a quilt, and Zhou Guangming shouted the word Xiaoyu when he dreamed. Li Xiuying saw all this, but she never broke it.
All along, Zhou Guangming felt that his parents were outside every day and ignored his feelings, but in fact, when he was inadvertent, Zhou Guoquan and Li Xiuying were silently watching Zhou Guangming. Whether it is cold or hot, big or small, Zhou Guoquan and Li Xiuying are doing their best to take care of Zhou Guangming. All behind the scenes, silently watching.
What Zhou Guangming didn't notice was that Zhou Guoquan and Li Xiuying's temples had already appeared gray hair.
Zhou Guangming lay on the bed and didn't sleep for a long time, until he was tired of crying, or his heart was tired, Zhou Guangming fell asleep until the next morning.
The window of the room, facing the sunrise, here the sky is very early, after six o'clock, the sun enters Zhou Guangming's room, the fine dust in the light into the wind fluttering gold dust, illuminating the room, bringing warmth, little by little to expel the cold left over from the night.
Zhou Guangming woke up, rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and then went to the dinner table, as usual, he put today's food expenses and a small note, which read:
Remember to eat.
With a note in his hand, Zhou Guangming silently folded it, put it in his pocket with the food expenses, then went to the bathroom to wash, and then returned to the room to tidy up his clothes in the mirror, packed up his things and went out.
Zhou Guangming walked on the road, looking at the early vendors pushing the cart stalls, the white-collar workers passing by in a hurry, and all kinds of vehicles, Zhou Guangming raised his head, and the sunshine fell on his face, for a long time, he didn't feel the warmth of the sun.
Xiaoyu is gone, Zhou Guangming is very uncomfortable, but Zhou Guangming can't be immersed in the shadow of broken love for the rest of his life. Zhou Guangming still has a great future, and a bright future to look forward to, yearn for, and sprint!
As for Xiaoyu, Zhou Guangming can only put it in his heart, and wait until the right time to appear in front of her, maybe this opportunity is very long and far away, but Zhou Guangming is willing to wait, and he will not hesitate to exhaust all his time.
Zhou Guangming took a step, strode forward, had breakfast opposite the school gate, and then came to the classroom, and found that Shao Zhuang was already sitting in his seat, reading the text carefully.
"Master Shao, morning!" Zhou Guangming suddenly slapped Shao Zhuang from behind with a sunny smile on his face, and said loudly.
Shao Zhuang was caught off guard, he was taken aback by Zhou Guangming, and when he looked back, Zhou Guangming seemed to be fine, with a smile on his face, looking in a good mood, and wondering: "Old Zhou, are you okay?"
Zhou Guangming's abnormal behavior yesterday, Shao Zhuang naturally saw it, and deliberately went to Xiaoyu's classroom to ask people, only to know that Xiaoyu had transferred to another school. So Shao Zhuang guessed that Zhou Guangming should have fallen out of love, otherwise it would be impossible for him to not answer his phone all the time yesterday.
But now it seems that Zhou Guangming seems to have just fallen in love, smiling like a dog's tail flower... Shao Zhuang thinks so.
"It's okay, you hurry up and read the book, your Su Hui's grades are not ordinarily good, you have to work hard to start from the aspect of studying." Zhou Guangming put down his schoolbag, patted Zhou Guangming's shoulder with a look of heavy responsibility and a long way to go, and said.
"Big guy, teach me!" Shao Zhuang hugged Zhou Guangming's arm tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw, for fear that Zhou Guangming would not agree.
"The old rule, let's go, the commissary will lead the way. Zhou Guangming raised his chin and put on a tall look.
"Big guy, please!" Shao Zhuang hurriedly went to the front, as if opening the way, made a gesture of invitation, and handled it very well.
Zhou Guangming was also not polite, holding his hand, and took the lead in the front, Shao Zhuang followed closely behind, escorting him on the side.
The First People's Hospital of Nanhai City.
"The patient's injuries were so severe that he needed immediate surgery, and his family signed first. ”
In the white corridor, a nurse in a white lab coat and a mask looked at a couple about forty years old in front of her, and her voice was very indifferent.
The couple looked anxious, especially the woman, whose dry hands clung to her man's sleeves, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Nurse, nurse, how is my son, it's not serious, is it life-threatening. ”
"Didn't you hear the nurse say, I need to have surgery!" The man was very anxious with the consent form and the signature pen in his hand, and his hands were a little trembling when he signed, and when he saw the lover next to him like this, he couldn't help but be angry, and pulled his sleeve out of the woman's hand.
The woman's body went limp, as if she had lost the backbone of her heart, and tears began to bubble up.
"According to the patient's condition, our hospital can operate on the patient first, but you should prepare the cost quickly and make up the cost without delay. After the nurse saw the man's signature, she gave a special instruction and left.
The couple were Zhou Guangming's parents, who worked near the hospital, and they rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard the news.
Both husband and wife are grassroots workers, although they have saved a lot of money over the years, but it is only tens of thousands of yuan, I heard that it is easy to do an operation of hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands, Ming's father is worried about Zhou Guangming's safety, and he is also worried about the cost of the operation, so he can only pray that it is not so bad and can be within the range of the Zhou family.
Soon, the doctor was in place, and the operating room immediately turned on a red light and began to prepare for the operation.
Ming's father's name is Zhou Guoquan, Ming's mother Li Xiuying, the two are matchmakers, and both parents agree to get married, although the two have no ability, but they are hardworking and steadfast, plus there is only one son like Zhou Guangming, and life is okay.
As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters.
Zhou Guoquan sat on a chair in the corridor of the operating room, watching his wife in front of him anxious, walking around like an ant on a hot pot. I realized that I had a gaffe just now, and I didn't control my emotions.
So Zhou Guoquan stood up, grabbed Li Xiuying, forcibly pressed him on the seat, and said, "Okay, don't walk around, Ming'er will definitely be fine." I'll go to the place where I paid and ask how much it costs to do the surgery, and you wait for me here. ”
Li Xiuying looked at her husband with tears on her face, unable to speak, and could only squeeze out a "um" word from her throat.
Alas, Zhou Guangquan saw his wife's sad appearance, and couldn't bear to look away, but he still stretched out his hands and gently hugged Li Xiuying, and then returned to normal.
Looking at the people coming and going around him, Zhou Guoquan endured his sadness, took a hard breath, blinked his eyes, put away the tears swirling in his eyes and left, planning to go to the payment window on the first floor to ask how much the operation cost was.
This point is more than nine o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen payment windows in the hall on the first floor, each window has seven or eight people lined up, and the self-service payment machines attached to the wall Zhou Guoquan will not use, so he has to line up honestly.
The noisy sounds around him only made Zhou Guoquan more anxious, but there was no way, it was useless to be anxious. I always hear people say that this surgery cost hundreds of thousands, and that surgery cost hundreds of thousands, Zhou Guoquan is very uncertain about Zhou Guangming's surgery costs.
After a while, it took Zhou Guoquan to be arranged.
"Then, that, I want to ask how much Zhou Guangming's surgery costs. Zhou Guoquan asked cautiously with apprehension.
"Zhou Guangming, the one you just sent over?" The staff member is a middle-aged woman with short hair and heavy makeup, but you can still see a few forehead lines on her forehead.
"Uh-huh, I'm his dad. Zhou Guoquan nodded and said.
"The patient has just been delivered, and the specific cost has not yet been paid, but it will not be less than 600,000. The staff member looked at the computer monitor and said.
"The patient still needs to be treated after the operation, and he needs to recuperate in the hospital for a while, and you had better pay the fee during this time, otherwise it may affect the patient's medication. ”
The staff looked at Zhou Guoquan and saw Zhou Guoquan's embarrassment, one hand unconsciously rubbed his trouser pocket there, forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”
Leaving the payment window, Zhou Guoquan exhaled a breath and seemed to relax, but 600,000 yuan was like a mountain, and it weighed heavily on Zhou Guoquan's heart.
Zhou Guoquan didn't want to go to the operating room, he was annoyed when he saw Li Xiuying's crying face, and he didn't want to go home, so he sold the old house, at most a little more than 300,000 yuan, plus the savings of all these years, there was still a difference of 200,000 yuan, and then he went to borrow some from relatives and friends. 200,000! Who would be so stupid and have so much money to lend to themselves.
Zhou Guoquan's family is not tight, but it is also relatively economical, except for the New Year's holidays all year round, they are reluctant to spend money on other days. Zhou Guangming is also well-behaved, and he has never made any unreasonable demands to Zhou Guoquan, which makes Zhou Guoquan very pleased. Every time the neighbors praised Zhou Guangming for being sensible, Zhou Guoquan was very happy.
How could such a well-behaved child have such a thing?
Zhou Guoquan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it, so it was urgent to think of a way to solve the cost of surgery. Although the staff member spoke in a proper manner just now, looking at Zhou Guoquan's disdainful eyes made Zhou Guoquan very uncomfortable, as if his whole body had been pricked by needles.
At this time, it was still raining outside, but the rain was already light, only the sky was still gray, like the fog that covered Zhou Guoquan's heart.
Zhou Guoquan still plans to go to his eldest brother Zhou Guoqing's house first to try his luck. Although I haven't been in touch for a long time, after all, they all came out of the womb of a mother, and their blood is thicker than water, so they will borrow a little bit.
Zhou Guoqing is a truck driver, running around outside all the year round, has a daughter under his knees, has already married and gone abroad, and Zhou Guoquan hasn't seen this niece for a long time.
Zhou Guoquan walked in the rain like this, the cold in the air made Zhou Guoquan, who was thinly dressed, shiver, put his hands in his pockets, walked to the bus stop, and waited for the 918 bus, the terminal was not far from the home of his eldest brother Zhou Guoqing.
"Mommy, Mommy, gone. ”
Standing next to Zhou Guoquan, there was a young and beautiful woman in her twenties, the woman was holding an umbrella in one hand, holding a little girl who was as cute as a doll in the cartoon in the other, tied with a ponytail, and wearing a pair of pink shoes, and her tender little hand holding a cup of milk tea, blocking in front of the woman.
Zhou Guoquan looked at it, and it turned out that the milk tea tube in the little girl's hand fell to the ground.
The young mother's hair was a little messy and wet, and the makeup on her face was also a little spent, and it was obvious that she was a little impatient.
It seems that this rain has ruined the mood of many people, only the innocent little girl took advantage of her mother's inattention, secretly reached out to catch the falling rain, and let out a giggle.
"The pipe has fallen, I don't drink anymore, I'm going back. The young mother complained.
When Zhou Guoquan saw this, he felt very uncomfortable.
For so many years, Zhou Guoquan has been working hard outside for this family, and when he was a child, Zhou Guangming would pester Zhou Guoquan and let him take Zhou Guangming out to play. However, Zhou Guoquan always shirks something in the interface, or next time. But Zhou Guangming waited again and again, until he went to school and studied, and until now, Zhou Guangming has never waited, even once.
and his wife Li Xiuying, who is taking care of Zhou Guangming at home, taking care of Zhou Guangming, and going out to work, she has not used cosmetics for so many years, and she is still wearing the clothes when she was married. After so many years, she has long become a yellow-faced woman, but she has never heard a word of complaint from her wife.
Zhou Guoquan suddenly felt that he owed Zhou Guangming too much to his mother and son over the years, and he felt like he wanted to hug his head and cry.
However, Zhou Guoquan still endured it, and just as the bus arrived, Zhou Guoquan squeezed into the bus, sat until the terminal, and came to the house of his eldest brother Zhou Guoqing, and specially bought two bags of fruit on the side of the road.
"Guoquan, you said you were here, what kind of gifts did you bring? Quick, come in, come in and sit and say. ”
Zhou Guoqing was not at home, and it was Zhou Guoqing's wife Lu Liangmei who received Zhou Guoquan.
"Sister-in-law, where is the eldest brother?" asked Zhou Guoquan.
"He went out to pull goods on National Day, just left two days ago, and he was going to run to the northeast, and he didn't know when he would come back. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, I just happened to be about to cook, why don't I leave after eating, Xiao Ming? Why didn't I come with you this weekend, and Xiuying..."
Lu Liangmei looks very ordinary, there is an obvious black mole on the left side of her face, some of which are fat, she is holding a spatula in her hand, and she is wearing an apron on her body. Seeing Zhou Guoquan coming, he was very enthusiastic about making tea, washing apples, and deliberately peeling the skin.
"Minghe, he was in a car accident and is now in the hospital. The doctor said that at least 600,000 yuan would be needed for the operation. Zhou Guoquan said with difficulty.
Lu Liangmei was stunned when she heard this, her mouth opened wide, and she looked incredulous.
"How can this be? Xiao Ming, this child has been well-behaved since he was a child, how could he encounter such a thing. Did the guy who hit Xiao Mingdi find it, but you can't let it run, you have to compensate!" Lu Liangmei finally reacted, looked at Zhou Guoquan's crying face, and knew the purpose of Zhou Guoquan's visit this time. However, on the surface, he still put on a look of concern, but he moved his cheeks, and seemed to be able to squeeze out a few tears.
"The driver who caused the accident ran away, but he has already called the police, and he can't run away. It's just that he has surgery, and the cost is too high, so he can't come to find your eldest brother and sister-in-law. Zhou Guoquan said helplessly.
"How much does the operation cost?" asked Lu Liangmei.
"A conservative estimate is 600,000. Zhou Guoquan said that, he felt that his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the tea, but the tea was too hot, so he just took a small sip.
"Oh my God, 600,000!" Lu Liangmei was obviously taken aback by this number, but she quickly recovered, coughed a few times, and said: "Guoquan, Xiao Ming, this child was grown up by me and Guoqing, very well-behaved and sensible. After this mess, my sister-in-law is also very sad, but you also know the situation of our family, he can't make a lot of money driving a truck on National Day, he worked hard to raise a daughter, and was abducted abroad, and he didn't come back to see it for so many years. The place where I live is remote and rotten... Alas, I don't even know what to say. Guoquan, sister-in-law has two thousand yuan here, if you don't dislike it, take it and use it first, don't be in a hurry to return it. ”
Lu Liangmei was talking and talking, and when she saw Zhou Guoquan in front of her, her eyes were so sad that her eyes were red, so she couldn't bear it, so she had to go back to the house and take out two thousand yuan and hand it over to Zhou Guoquan.
"Sister-in-law, thank you. Zhou Guoquan clutched the two thousand yuan tightly in his hand, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he had never felt that money was so important in his life.
"Alas, when I come back from the National Day, let's see how much he still has there, after all, it is a family. Although Lu Liangmei was very reluctant, but seeing Zhou Guoquan like this, she still couldn't bear to pull out a dime, if she hadn't said two thousand yuan in time, Lu Liangmei estimated that Zhou Guoquan would have to kneel down and beg herself.
Zhou Guo couldn't stop thanking him, spoke incoherently, and left under Lu Liangmei's eyes. Although it was only two thousand yuan, it seemed to have been sent, but it still gave Zhou Guoquan a little hope.
After coming out, Zhou Guoquan was also a little hungry, but he ignored it completely, and first called his wife Li Xiuying and asked her to buy food by herself and not worry about the expenses. Then he was thinking about how to borrow money and scrape together 600,000 yuan.
After Li Xiuying saw that Zhou Guangming was indeed fine, she took Zhou Guangming back first, planning to cook for Zhou Guangming and then go to work.
Zhou Guangming was very worried, what George said to him was too shocking, and George also showed Zhou Guangming many incredible abilities, which are not normal people can do.
So even though Zhou Guangming was an atheist, he was still deeply shocked.
Back home, Li Xiuying finished cooking and watched Zhou Guangming finish eating before going out. Before leaving, he also gave a few special instructions.
After Zhou Guangming finished eating, he planned to read a book, after all, he had been lying down for two weeks, and his homework had fallen behind a lot.
Zhou Guangming and Xiaoyu belong to the kind of early love, and the parents and school teachers of both sides don't know, but Zhou Guoquan and his wife seem to have noticed something, not long after Zhou Guangming and Xiaoyu fell in love, Zhou Guangming's living expenses have obviously gone up a notch. 、
The life of the third year of high school is busy, immersed in the sea of books every day, writing hard, studying hard day and night, and working hard for so long in order to be admitted to the ideal university. Zhou Guangming also has an ideal, that is, to be admitted to the same university as Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu has excellent grades and is one of the top ten students in her grade, and the school focuses on cultivating them.
Zhou Guangming's grades are good, and he can occasionally squeeze into the top 100, but it is still much worse than Xiaoyu. Therefore, Zhou Guangming has been studying harder and harder, and his results in the past two months are basically within 100. Of course, this is inseparable from Xiaoyu's help, and often helps Zhou Guangming review the results.
Back in the room, Zhou Guangming sat on a chair, opened the drawer, and took out a mock test paper for the Chinese college entrance examination that he had done not long ago, planning to do it again, take a closer look at the wrong questions, and correct them.
The reading question about poetry on this test paper is Li Bai's overnight stay in the mountain temple, a relatively popular poem. When Zhou Guangming read it carefully, especially the sentence in the back, 'Don't dare to speak loudly, lest you be shocked'. The words 'don't dare', 'fear' and 'surprise' in it fell into Zhou Guangming's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that no matter how high a person stands, how much power he has. But for the heavens are essentially in awe, and dare not blaspheme.
Zhou Guangming held the test paper in his hand, and in his mind he could imagine the respectful demeanor when people looked up at the sky, the worship from the heart, and it was extremely pure. At this moment, Zhou Guangming seemed to feel that he was sitting on the throne, enjoying the fanatical gaze of everyone.
Brush!
The test paper suddenly fell off Zhou Guangming's hand and fell to the ground. Zhou Guangming hurriedly leaned over and picked it up, and the thoughts that came to his mind for no reason startled Zhou Guangming. It seems that Zhou Guangming takes it for granted that people respect the sky, but if they are disrespectful to the sky, they will be punished.
Although Zhou Guangming does not advocate feudal superstition, and every year when he goes home during the Qingming Festival, he will sweep the tomb to worship his ancestors and the like, Zhou Guangming only regards it as a custom and tradition, and he does not have much awe in his heart. Sometimes being punished is just a matter of doing something wrong.
The absurd idea just now was not Zhou Guangming's original intention, but it did sprout from Zhou Guangming's heart. That's why Zhou Guangming was scared,
Zhou Guangming hurriedly calmed down, reopened the test paper, regained his composure and continued to read the questions.
But the idea just now seemed to be rooted in Zhou Guangming's mind and lingered, but it was buried deeply by Zhou Guangming and he didn't want to touch it.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Guangming started to review, today is Sunday, and he has to study at night in the evening. But Zhou Guangming seemed to have forgotten the time, and kept looking at the book, as if he couldn't feel the passage of time. And Zhou Guangming is not tired at all, he does not feel tired at all, he is very energetic, and the review effect is surprisingly good.
This kind of efficiency is simply incredible, Zhou Guangming was completely immersed in it, and finally realized the mood of swimming in the sea of books, feeling that a person who was trapped in the desert for three days and three nights suddenly fell into the pool and didn't want to come out at all.
Until half past nine in the evening, Zhou Guoquan dragged his tired body back home, and saw Zhou Guangming still studying hard. But Zhou Guangming actually forgot to turn on the light, the whole room was dim, and he couldn't see clearly at all with the little light shining in from the window.
"Son, why don't you turn on the light when you read! Your eyes have just recovered, and the doctor said that it is not advisable to use your eyes excessively, not to mention that you don't even turn on the light! Hurry up and take a break, go to the window and look out, look into the distance, don't become short-sighted. ”
When Zhou Guoquan saw it, he immediately went over and turned on the light, and then walked to Zhou Guangming's side and persuaded him.
But Zhou Guangming didn't notice it, as if he hadn't heard it, he flipped through the book by himself, picked up the pen and wrote, and there was no response.
"Guangming?Guangming?" Zhou Guoquan gently pushed Zhou Guangming's shoulder and said.
Hiss!
Zhou Guangming suddenly took a breath of cold air, turned his head, strained his face, and glared at Zhou Guoquan angrily, as if he was blaming Zhou Guoquan for disturbing Zhou Guangming. And from Zhou Guangming's eyes, Zhou Guoquan seemed to feel a kind of indifferent and emotionless gaze. Zhou Guoquan suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and it was cold to the bottom of his heart. It was as if the son in front of him had become a stranger.
"Oh, Dad, why did you come back so early. Zhou Guangming suddenly came back to his senses and spoke.
"Hmm, it's half past nine in the evening, you didn't go to the evening self-study?" Zhou Guoquan asked.
Zhou Guangming's heart was full of doubts, he looked up at the alarm clock, and then looked at a few dim street lamps outside the dark window, only to confirm that it was already night. But Zhou Guangming felt that he had only watched for a while, and then Zhou Guoquan came back, how could it be dark in the blink of an eye. Could it be that this is the highest state of learning in the legend, the realm of self-forgetfulness?!?
"No, no, I was fascinated by reading and forgot. Zhou Guangming scratched his head embarrassedly and said. Fortunately, I took a long vacation. However, in order to catch up with the progress of learning, Zhou Guangming will go to school from tomorrow.
"If you're hungry or not, Dad will cook for you. Zhou Guoquan said.
Zhou Guangming just wanted to say that he was not hungry, but his stomach just rumbled twice, so he nodded awkwardly.
"Okay, then you can rest, Dad will call you when he is ready. After Zhou Guoquan finished speaking, he turned around and planned to go to the kitchen to cook for Zhou Guangming, but after taking a few steps, Zhou Guoquan suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked Zhou Guangming up and down carefully, his eyes full of doubts.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Guangming was numb by Zhou Guoquan's gaze, and couldn't help asking.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I just wanted to ask you what you want to eat. Zhou Guoquan said, seeing that his son was indeed the same as before, the look in his eyes just now... Zhou Guoquan can only blame it on being too tired from work, which led to hallucinations.
Zhou Guoquan used to be a cook, and his skills were too good. But the salary of the average chef is not high, and the chef of the big hotel is not just the one who wants to be. So Zhou Guoquan gave up his profession as a cook.
"Whatever, just hurry. Zhou Guangming replied.
After hearing this, Zhou Guoquan went to the kitchen and cooked for Zhou Guangming.
After Zhou Guangming finished eating, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. For nearly eight hours, Zhou Guangming sat on the chair to review during this time, he didn't feel tired at all, he couldn't perceive the passage of time, and the review efficiency was outrageously high, Zhou Guangming felt very strange.
Jingling, the sound reached Zhou Guangming's ears, and Zhou Guoquan began to work in the kitchen. Zhou Guangming sat there, holding a pen in his hand, but he didn't know where it fell. So he picked up his phone and sent a message to Xiaoyu, waiting for Xiaoyu's response.
The evening self-study was at half past ten, and Zhou Guangming estimated that Xiaoyu was reviewing at this time and would not reply, so Zhou Guangming waited for a few minutes without news, and planned to go to the kitchen to help his father Zhou Guoquan cook together.
Zhou Guangming walked out of the door and suddenly heard Zhou Guoquan answering the phone in the kitchen, and deliberately lowered his voice. So Zhou Guangming slowed down, slowly came to the kitchen door, hid behind the wall, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"No problem, I'll pay it back as soon as possible, as long as you don't come over and disturb my family. Okay, okay, no problem, by all means. Uh-huh, hanging. Zhou Guoquan's voice was very low, but Zhou Guangming could still hear it clearly and didn't miss a word.
Zhou Guangming sensitively grasped the key words.
may have been hospitalized and spent a lot of money, so Zhou Guoquan found someone to borrow money. That phone call should be to urge Zhou Guoquan to repay the money.
Zhou Guangming leaned against the wall helplessly, not knowing what to say or what to do. I only know that over the years, my father Zhou Guoquan has paid too much, but almost all of this is for himself. Thinking that Zhou Guangming was ignorant before, and always pulled Zhou Guoquan to buy this and that for himself, his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Huh, son, why are you standing here, it's time to wash your hands and eat. ”
Zhou Guangming was stunned until Zhou Guoquan came out with two dishes and found Zhou Guangming.
"Oh, urgency, go to the toilet first. Zhou Guangming suddenly reflected, and ran to the bathroom as he spoke, for fear that Zhou Guoquan would see the tears in his eyes.
"Mm-hmm, remember to wash your hands. Zhou Guoquan brought the dishes to the table, helped Zhou Guangming serve the meal, and went to the living room to watch TV.
After Zhou Guangming ran to the bathroom and closed the door, he rubbed his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his emotions, and made sure that Zhou Guoquan couldn't see it, before washing his hands and walking out to eat at the dining table.
At this point, Li Xiuying also happened to come back from work. Seeing Zhou Guangming eating, he took out a bottle of cod liver oil capsules from his bag. When Li Xiuying was at work, she heard others say that eating this is good for her eyes, so Li Xiuying went to the pharmacy and bought a bottle for Zhou Guangming to eat, which is helpful for restoring her eyesight. Li Xiuying is mainly worried that Zhou Guangming will have sequelae or something.
Zhou Guangming didn't know what to say, so he had to put it in his pocket. But Li Xiuying still kept telling Zhou Guangming to remember and eat according to the instructions written. It wasn't until Zhou Guoquan said okay, don't disturb her son's meal, that Li Xiuying walked away and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Zhou Guangming smiled speechlessly, and after eating, he brought the dishes into the kitchen, planning to wash them tomorrow. Then he went back to the room and flipped out his mobile phone, intending to see what message Xiaoyu replied.
Zhou Guangming turned on the phone screen to unlock it, and clicked on the message sent by Xiaoyu with some expectation. As soon as he saw it, Zhou Guangming was so shocked that his mobile phone fell to the ground.
