The first successful corneal transplant in Shanghai, and also the first successful corneal transplant in China at that time, was completed in the hands of Li Xia.Six months after the operation was completed, the patient had the stitches removed, and no adverse reactions occurred during the period.At this point, Li Xia's hanging heart finally fell into her stomach.What followed was an irrepressible excitement and joy.

This successful operation brought fame to herself and glory to the hospital.The tutor and the hospital were naturally very happy, and the leaders of the hospital publicly commended her and gave her a large bonus.The instructor also told her in private that as long as she doesn't make any mistakes in the future, the position of deputy chief physician will be very secure in the future.

At this time, Man Lu had already been transferred to Man Zhen's high school, but she was in the second year of high school, and Man Zhen was in the first year of high school.Manzhen's attitude towards her sister is not as bad as that of her younger brothers, but it is definitely not close.In the end, although Manzhen is a conscientious person who knows that her sister is a dancer to support the family, she also feels that being a dancer is a lowly thing in her heart.If the schoolmates knew that she had an older sister who was a dancer, they would definitely look down on her.

It can't be said how much Manzhen was wrong, after all, she never took the initiative to hurt her sister.But if you think about it carefully, it's still somewhat chilling.

All in all, although the two are in the same high school, they rarely communicate with each other on weekdays, and almost no classmates know about their sister relationship.

Man Lu saw that Man Zhen didn't want her classmates to know about their sisterhood, so naturally she wouldn't take the initiative to approach her.After school, one of them went back home, and the other went back to Li Xia's house, and neither of them could hinder the other.It's just that Manlu still visits home every weekend, because they are family members after all.

Because of the successful corneal transplant, Li Xia also gained some reputation in Shanghai for a while.For the Gu family, who had never seen much of the world and were ordinary citizens, Li Xia seemed to have suddenly become the legendary "rich man" or "big man".Before, they somewhat felt that Manlu was living with a woman so that they could not hold their heads up, but it was better than being a dancer, so they pinched their noses and recognized it.

And when Li Xia's reputation gradually grew, they couldn't help feeling that Man Lu was smart.With Li Xia like this, he can get money to support the family without getting a bad reputation.After a few years, when a few children are confessed, Man Lu can still marry someone else.However, they didn't think Li Xia would support them for long.

Since in their hearts, the final destination of a woman is to marry, Li Xia and Man Lu naturally cannot last long.And Li Xia is not young anymore, and it is very likely that she will marry soon.So the Gu family grandma and Mrs. Gu did not treat Li Xia as a "son-in-law" or a "family member", but as a cash cow that they don't know will provide them for a few days.They only hope that before Li Xia and Man Lu break up, they can make as much money as possible, preferably enough money for their children to go to school.At that time, even if they broke up, Man Lu can still marry a good family and no longer need to be a dancer to support the family.

Naturally, Man Lu didn't think about this, she was actually very loyal.I am very happy with Li Xia, and she also intends to live like this in her heart.

Li Xia is busy with work and has no time to look after her home.So I set up another passbook for Manlu, put money into it every month, and let Manlu spend it by herself, and tell her if it is not enough.Manlu would often buy some supplements for her grandma or nutrition for her younger siblings, and occasionally she would buy some clothes for her family.A piece of clothing only costs more than one yuan, but there is nothing wrong with it.

When Man Lu was in her third year of high school, Li Xia wanted to arrange for her to live in school considering her tight academic work. The board and board fee was 65 yuan a year, including board and lodging.When Man Lu returned home, Mrs. Gu suggested to her that the Gu family lived quite far from the school. It was too unsafe for a big girl in Manzhen to go home in a rickshaw after evening self-study. Can she also live in school?Then he told Man Lu that the child of so-and-so's family went home alone at night and disappeared.So-and-so's daughter-in-law went shopping alone at night, and ran into robbers again.

At that time, there were indeed many hooligans and gangsters on the streets of Shanghai, which were a great potential danger for single women.For Manzhen, Manlu has always been fond of her.Hearing Mrs. Gu's emphatic remarks, I also felt that Manzhen should be given a place to stay.

But where does the money come from?Li Xia paid for the tuition fees of the Gu family's children, but the accommodation was not included.Li Xia gave Manlu's family 50 yuan a month for living expenses, and she never interfered with Manlu's shopping for Gu's family.Although her salary has also risen to 320 yuan now, the pressure to raise this big family is not small.

When Man Lu asked for Manzhen to live on campus, Li Xia's first reaction was: "Don't they have any savings?" It's 50 yuan a month, and they don't have to pay tuition for their children, so they can't save any money. down?

Man Lu can only protect her family, saying that the nutrition of the children in the family cannot be lost, the younger brothers and sisters are growing fast, new clothes and shoes need to be bought every month, and grandma needs various supplements, etc. .

Although Li Xia still felt uncomfortable, she endured it in order to let Man Lu spend her third year of high school with peace of mind.

The third year of high school is a purgatory, a field of Shura, not to mention that Man Lu's foundation is not as good as that of her classmates.If Li Xia still quarreled with her over Gu's family matters, making her in a dilemma and worried, it would definitely affect her studies and the college entrance examination.

Li Xia felt that no matter how much she endured, it would only be this year, and it would pass by gritting her teeth.Isn't it just 65, just save yourself a little more.

However, this is not the end.

The older one lived in the school, and the younger ones started arguing again.First, grandma is too old to do housework. Mrs. Gu has to take care of the elderly, send a few children to school, pick them up from school, and do housework. She is really too busy.

Li Xia didn't want these things to disturb Man Lu, who was in her third year of high school, so she had to raise their living expenses to 60 yuan and let them find maids by themselves.

Many things can't be stopped as long as a hole is torn open.Not long after, Li Xia bought them a rickshaw and hired a driver.If there were too many people, they would not be able to live there, so I rented a bigger house for them.In order to let Manlu concentrate on her studies, she endured all these things.She told herself, just for one year, just for this year, when Man Lu was able to get into college with peace of mind, she didn't have to bear it anymore.

When Manlu's college entrance examination ended, Li Xia was even more relieved than she was.

And although she was annoyed by the Gu family this year, she never delayed her work.She has now compiled research and published papers on several common forms of rejection, and pondered options for coping.She believed that she would be able to perform the world's first kidney transplant before that foreign doctor.

At the same time, the tutor has been helping her pay attention to the ways and opportunities to study abroad.At that time, there were very few places for government-funded study abroad, mainly at their own expense.At this time, the government has not imposed any restrictions on studying abroad at their own expense, mainly because of the problem of contacting schools.With Li Xia's current achievements in Shanghai's medical field and her mentor's connection, it would not be too difficult to contact a better school.

When Man Lu received the admission notice, it was finally confirmed that Li Xia would be promoted to the position of deputy chief physician.This can also be said to be double happiness, thinking that since Man Lu came to her, her career has been advancing all the way, Li Xia sometimes feels that Man Lu is her lucky star.Plus now that she is in a good mood, she offered to take Manlu out for fun.

Man Lu didn't know all the difficulties Li Xia's family had in her third year of high school, so she was naturally happy when she heard that Li Xia wanted to take her out to play.When she dropped out of school to become a dancing girl, she felt that all thoughts were lost in her heart. She felt that the distance was dark, and that was the way she would be in her life.

I never thought that I would have a bright day.And all of this was brought to her by Li Xia.

At that time, the traffic was not well developed, and they could not go too far, but they still had a good time.Along the way, they climbed mountains and waded, and saw a lot of beautiful scenery.Li Xia cared and cared for Man Lu very much.After a year of campus life, Manlu has completely lost her original dusty atmosphere, and she seems to have regained her once delicate and pretty girl appearance.Seeing Man Lu like this, Li Xia loves her and feels that her hard work has not been in vain.He was also relieved a lot about the exploitation of the Gu family this year.

She thought in her heart that there are still 11 years before the August 11th Incident.During these [-] years, she can go abroad to study first, then buy some family business abroad, and then take Manlu out.In other words, in addition to her own tuition, she has to start saving Manlu's tuition.But seeing Man Lu's bright and beautiful smile in the sun, Li Xia felt it was all worth it.

When the two returned home, Li Lu felt something was wrong as soon as they entered the door.At first glance, there seems to be nothing missing in the house.But if you take a closer look, you will find that the positions of many things are different from when you left.

Suddenly, she felt a shock in her heart, rushed to the second floor, and opened a cabinet in her bedroom.Seeing a palm-sized wooden box inside, Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, it's still there.Li Xia didn't take it out because she was worried that the jade pendant would be bumped accidentally if she went out for climbing and wading.

Thinking of her mother, Li Xia was filled with happiness.She caressed the edge of the wooden box with her fingers, as if it was some rare treasure.After looking at it for a while and then gently opening it, her eyes widened.There is nothing in the wooden box, and the jade pendant inside is not easy to fly away.

"There's a thief!" This was her first reaction.

Then she rushed to the phone in the bedroom and picked up the receiver to call the police.

Li Xia is very clear about where money should not be saved.She was worried about this kind of thing at the beginning. When she bought a house, she always chose a prosperous location, close to the police pavilion, and the house's anti-theft facilities were relatively complete. She never thought that there would be thieves in this way!

Man Lu heard Li Xia's voice, and rushed up to ask what's wrong.Li Xia ignored her, she is now full of the jade pendant left by her mother.

After the police arrived, they first protected the scene and then asked Li Xia about the situation.When Li Xia left home, she locked the doors and windows and gave the maid a holiday.After preliminary investigation, the door and window locks were not damaged in any way.The police then asked if anyone else had the keys to the house.

Li Xia carefully recalled that she only allocated one key to Manlu, and the other to the maid, and no one else.But the maid is an old woman who has been in the house for a long time. I have never heard of her dirty hands.

But Manlu's expression at this time was a little strange.

Naturally, the police saw Manlu's strangeness and interrogated her.Man Lu really didn't believe that her family would do this, so she told the truth that she had given Mrs. Gu the keys to the house.

When the Gu family was taken to the police station, everyone was taken aback. They obviously didn't expect Li Xia to call the police.But their fingerprints have already been extracted at Li Xia's home, and they cannot be denied.I have to say one by one.

It turned out that in the past when Man Lu was around, Mrs. Gu would occasionally take a few children to play.Although Li Xia saves everywhere, she is not stingy at all when it comes to Man Lu.Therefore, Li Xia's family has a lot of food, play, and all kinds of clothing and jewelry.Every time Mrs. Gu took her children there, Manlu would serve them with food.When there are new clothes or jewelry, Man Lu will choose a few to bring to Man Zhen or her little sister.But Li Xia was busy with work on weekdays, so she didn't realize it at all.Of course, even if you notice it, you won't stop it.

Later, Man Lu went to school, but the maid Li Xia hired remembered Mrs. Gu.Every time Mrs. Gu came, she still gave warm hospitality.Over time, they develop a habit.The older children were a little better, but the two young ones were thinking about going to Li Xia's house all day long.After all, Li Xia's house is bigger and more beautiful than theirs, and there are all kinds of food and entertainment.

As for the jade pendant, the little girl turned it out from the cabinet and took it home to play, but Mrs. Gu didn't care.As for where it fell, no one knows.

Man Lu and Li Xia had their first quarrel since dating.

Li Xia insisted that Gu's family should go to jail, but Man Lu insisted on refusing and pleading.If it's something else, you can buy it again if it's gone.And this is a relic left by her mother, so it's gone, Li Xia even has the heart to eat them alive.

Seeing Li Xia's unfeelingness, Man Lu's heart also went cold.Coupled with all kinds of begging, crying, and provocation from the Gu family, Li Xia was actually to blame.It's not like Li Xia can't afford such a jade pendant.Furthermore, her little sister is not yet nine years old this year, so she is not sensible at all, so what can't be forgiven for doing something wrong?

Manlu was worried that her family would go to jail, so she inevitably lost her sense of proportion when speaking.And when Li Xia heard the other party's "unfeeling", her heart also felt cold.For more than a year, I have been overwhelmed with work matters, and I can't live in peace when I return home, and I have to face all kinds of problems from the Gu family.In order not to distract Man Lu who was preparing for the college entrance examination, she took all the pressure on herself.And these, in the end, only exchanged for a sentence of unfeeling.

Man Lu saw that Li Xia refused to let the Gu family go no matter what, and finally disappeared.When Li Xia found her anxiously, she actually passed out in the old house of the Gu family.After Li Xia brought her home, she stopped eating and drinking, and cried all day long.

Li Xia compromised.

She hated herself for being soft-hearted, she hated herself for being kind, but she still compromised.Seeing Man Lu's pale face, she compromised.

The Gu family was released from the police station, and she also moved out of He Manlu's home.She left her the house and the things she bought for Manlu, as well as her four years of tuition fees.She promised Manlu that she would pay for her to finish college, and she would not break her promise.

Seeing Li Xia's determined back, Man Lu felt her heart was pierced, but she didn't ask her to keep her.She knew that she was not qualified to keep her.No matter how you calculate this relationship, you owe a lot to yourself.

From then on, Man Lu would go to the hospital where Li Xia worked every day, and watch Li Xia's commute and get off work from a distance, busy in a white coat.Recalling all the things the two had been together, secretly saddened.

On this day, she got up early and came to the hospital, wanting to see her go to work.But she waited until noon and did not see her.

What's up with her?are you sick?Or went to another hospital?

Armed with various speculations, Manlu went to the hospital.

"You mean Deputy Director Li? She went to the United States and just left today."
