life struggle

Chapter 20

The spark that had just been ignited was extinguished in an instant, and Wu Xiaojun was full of helplessness and bewilderment, which once again made him fall into hesitation and wandering. [ ] For several days, he was depressed, had trouble sleeping and eating, and faced everyone's eyes with the mentality of an escaper. When others asked him about the scars on his face, he could only prevaricate with an accidental fall. Speaking to outsiders, you can only feel bored in your heart.

The night market ignited his desire to be self-reliant and study, he could not sleep at night and was extremely excited.The night market made him taste all the ups and downs, and he was exhausted physically and mentally, which was unbearable.The night market made him understand the complexity of the society, the dangers of the world, and the darkness of people's hearts.This is the reality, a reality that can only be adapted but cannot be changed. A struggling pioneer must face it, and it requires courage and wisdom to realize the reality of dreams.Wu Xiaojun strongly restrained himself, tried his best to adjust his emotions, forget about it as soon as possible, get out of the shadows, and resume his peaceful life in the past.

But the world is always unpredictable, and good fortune is always playing tricks on people. If people are unlucky, they will clog their teeth if they drink cold water.During recess, Wu Xiaojun was called to the office by counselor Qiao Yulin.Xiaojun doesn’t know why. I haven’t done anything bad in school or class during this period of time, and I haven’t. Could it be that the school knew about the fact that I was beaten that day, and Teacher Qiao was talking to me, it’s impossible Ah, only Wang Ping and I know about this matter, it is impossible for him to tell the outside world, so why?Sincere and fearful, my heart is uneasy.Teacher Qiao asked Xiaojun to sit down, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Xiaojun, looked at Xiaojun's forehead, smiled and revealed a trace of dignity, "Xiaojun, what's the matter with the scar on your head? , obviously, it’s been about a week, and the scab has already formed, so we need to pay more attention in the future.”

Qiao Yulin's attitude was gentle, without a domineering and questioning tone. It didn't seem like she came here for that matter. Wu Xiaojun relaxed a lot, and said a little nervously, "Mr. It was broken on the tree, there is no serious problem, it will be healed soon. You are looking for me, is there anything you want me to do?"

Qiao Yulin didn't answer Xiaojun directly, but gently opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper, and said embarrassingly, "Xiaojun, please don't be nervous, read this first, keep calm and don't get too excited when something happens." After speaking, he gently placed it in front of Xiaojun.

Wu Xiaojun felt that the situation was not good, and his mood that had been relieved just now suddenly became tense again. He eagerly took the paper in his hand, and stared at it with wide eyes. The urgent telegram was sent by the third brother Xiaosen five or ten minutes ago, which read:

Urgent family affairs, hurry back, Wu Xiaosen.

Wu Xiaojun knew that even if there was something unpleasant in the family, it was not a matter of collapsed houses or human life. Generally, fathers survived by themselves and took responsibility, and would not tell him, so as not to distract him and delay his studies.This urgent telegram shows the seriousness of the problem, and it must be related to the parents. What happened to the parents?Wu Xiaojun couldn't guess for a while, his head turned and he felt dizzy, he couldn't tell east, west, north, south, cold sweat spread all over his forehead in an instant, he sat motionless, and was stunned for a long time.

Qiao Yulin is not uncommon to encounter similar situations. Seeing Wu Xiaojun's astonishment, she also felt deeply pained, so she comforted Haosheng, "Xiaojun, don't be too nervous and uncomfortable. As for what happened at home, you should go back as soon as possible." Look, it may not be as serious as you think. You have to hold yourself seriously, be calm, don't get confused, and be extra careful on the road, so as not to cause accidents due to your disturbed mood. The top priority is to get home safely .”

Soldiers come to block, water comes to Tutun.Escaping is not the solution, the matter has come to this point, the only way is to face it head-on.Wu Xiaojun slowly calmed down, "Thank you Teacher Qiao, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Holding the telegram, Wu Xiaojun got out of Mr. Qiao's office somehow. He walked back to the dormitory with heavy steps. He simply packed his luggage and didn't care about eating or drinking. Then he boarded the train and started on his way home.

A premonition is always full of wonders for a person, and the reason is unclear. It is very relevant to reality, and it is easy to realize and happen.Six years ago, my eldest brother and my eldest sister were building roads in Beiyi. For no reason, my eldest sister felt restless and very irritable. Seeing that nothing was going well, she said to everyone, "Something happened to my family, I have to go back quickly."The elder brother and elder brother-in-law couldn't persuade them no matter what, so they went home alone.The parents were very surprised when they saw it, "Why did you come back less than a month after you left, and the money is still on the way without earning any money."The eldest sister explained the reason, and the mother was also surprised, "There is something at home and no one wrote to you, what a coincidence, your father, Xiaomei and Xiaojun were repairing the house a few days ago, and when it was about to finish, the shelf wood broke , your father fell from the eaves and fell into the unused mud of the reconciliation. Fortunately, he did not land on the ground. If he did that, he would definitely break his ribs. Could it be such a coincidence, or superstition, it is impossible to verify The answer to this question may only be explained by the connection between mother and child and the nature of father and son.

Along the way, Wu Xiaojun was full of thoughts, which reminded him of the famous Murphy's Law. As long as there is this possibility, things will often develop in the bad direction you think.Over the past few days, I have had nightmares again and again. It was an ominous omen. I hoped that it would not happen and appear, but what should come came to me after all. My brain kept spinning, imagining various possibilities and countermeasures .What made him even more confused and helpless was that once his father had an accident, he would have no support or care, how would he complete his studies in the future, and how would he go about his future.

Wu Xiaojun returned home like an arrow, anxious, like sitting on pins and needles, lost his mind, seemed to be hesitating in everything, the car was moving very slowly, time seemed to be against him on purpose, like legs and feet being poured, unable to move an inch, anxiety, irritability, and depression surged together Concentrated, he kept looking at his watch, staring at the slowly moving second hand.

After going back and forth several times, at eleven o'clock in the evening, I finally arrived at the home of Xiaosen, the third brother of Yuanzhen County Hospital Family Hospital.Seeing that the light was still on, Xiaojun knocked on the door lightly a few times, and it was the mother of his sister-in-law Chunyan who opened the door, "Xiaojun, you are back, hurry up and enter the house, come back so late, have you not eaten yet? Wait a moment, I Here is a hot meal for you. Your father suffered from a gastric ulcer, suddenly perforated and bled heavily. He entered the operating room at 11:30 a.m. and has not yet come out. Your brother and your sister-in-law are both outside the operating room, and I just came back to put your little nephew to sleep. "

After understanding the initial situation, Xiaojun could still feel what hunger is and what hunger is. At this moment, he was thinking about his father, and he was eager to see his father, "Auntie, I'm not hungry, so don't worry about it. I'm here now." Go to the hospital." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out, striding to the operating room.Relatives and other brothers and sisters were all there, all downcast and sad, waiting anxiously.As soon as the elder sister and the second sister saw Xiaojun, they immediately got up from the corner of the corridor and greeted him, with tears streaming down their cheeks, they grabbed Xiaojun's hand, "Xiaojun, you can count yourself back, if something happens to our father, you don't even have to worry about the last side." I haven't seen it, but what should I do?"

Seeing the two sisters crying like tears, Xiaojun's eyes were sore, tears flowed out, and he choked up and said, "Sister, I'm late, I'm late. Our father is soft-hearted and won't leave us behind." No matter what, the crisis will be turned into safety and come out of the operating table safely." Xiao Jun resisted his grief, turned around and greeted his relatives briefly, his legs softened, and sat beside his two sisters.

Suddenly, the door of the operating room opened, and a doctor about 50 years old came out. Although his expression was serious, he looked a little relaxed. Everyone immediately gathered around him and asked eagerly, "Doctor, how is the situation?"

"Don't worry, the operation went quite smoothly. It's just that the patient's perforation surface was large and he lost a lot of blood. The next 72 hours is the most critical period and also a dangerous period. You need to be monitored and observed all the time. You must be mentally prepared."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

Immediately afterwards, Xiaosen and several young nurses pushed Wu Pingshun, who was lying quietly on the bed, out.Everyone followed closely and was sent to the intensive care unit.When everything was arranged, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the hospital's regulations, patients' family members are generally not allowed to enter the operating room. Since Xiaosen is a doctor in the hospital and has worked in surgery for two years before, and the department director and experts are familiar with it, an exception was made so that Xiaosen could start from scratch. From the end, he observed the whole process of the operation and fully grasped his father's condition.Xiaosen introduced his father's condition and the course of the operation to everyone, "The operation is over now, and the overall situation is much better than expected. I will mainly observe the treatment and recovery, and there is nothing special. Please rest assured. It’s already very deep, aunt, sister-in-law, cousins ​​and cousins ​​all go back first, and I will inform you in time if there is anything.” After finishing speaking, Xiaosen took the doctors and nurses to the restaurant that had been reserved for dinner, except for Xiaojun, the five brothers and sisters. Other than that, everyone else left one after another.

Xiaojun and his eldest brother and second brother have hard feelings, so naturally they don't talk much, and they only talk a few more words with their two sisters.In the dead of night in the corridors of the hospital wards, the lights are dim, and there are accompanying patients walking back and forth from time to time, giving people a sense of eerie.The elder sister Xiaoyun brought two packs of instant noodles and a few ham sausages from the ward, handed them to Xiaojun and said, "Xiaojun, you haven't eaten yet. This is the end, there's no use being sad. I got off the operating table, and it will take some time to be hospitalized, here are instant noodles and ham sausage, you should eat some."

It has been a day without any water, no grain of rice, and the bumps and fatigue along the way. After being very worried and fearful, after a high level of tension, a suspenseful heart suddenly fell. The eldest sister reminded Wu Xiaojun that his whole body was weak, weak, and his mouth was dry. Hungry.Wu Xiaojun took the food from the elder sister's hand, but he couldn't eat it anyway. He just took a few bites, and involuntarily looked at his father who was unconscious and lying quietly in the intensive care unit.Second sister Xiaomei said, "You've been in the car all day, go to the ward and take a nap for a while, we are here to watch."

Xiaojun said, "Don't worry, I'm upset, I can't sleep at all, so I won't sleep, I'll sleep when my father wakes up. Does my mother know that my father has undergone an operation? She has already told her no."

Xiaomei said, "Yesterday morning our father went to the county market, bought a chicken and brought it home, and ate it with our mother. Not long after, he suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't stop vomiting. Our mother was terrified, and ran outside the door to call for someone. The neighbor Wu Peng brought her to the hospital in a tricycle. Our third brother was afraid that our mother would feel uncomfortable here, so he sent her home. When our father woke up , and then let her come over, besides, there are livestock, pigs and sheep at home, and people are inseparable."

Wu Xiaojun said, "What time is it, the two of them in the family, can't we let the children take care of it? My mother is at home alone, can I not worry about fear, can I not worry, can I be at ease."

Xiaomei turned to look at the ceiling, sighed, tears fell down, choked up and said, "Xiaojun, we are all young, we have no one, and we have no ability, it's better if you don't know some things, don't bring them up again." Come on, don't say anything."
