growing up

The results of last month's monthly exam were not released until the next day. This time, Gu Yuan surpassed Ling Chao by four points. His English has improved a lot, and the results of his usual hard work on English questions are still obvious.Although Ling Chao's English is still full marks, but his comprehensive science has always been weaker than Gu Yuan.

Class [-] in October is obviously more intense than before. In order to catch up with the progress, even the small class breaks are occupied by the teacher, and there will only be breaks in the big class breaks after two classes.The students in class one didn't feel much about it, and the learning atmosphere was exceptionally good.Gu Yuan and Ling Chao spent almost all their rest time in the hospital these days. Gu Yuan didn’t have to study at night, but Ling Chao had to. So after having dinner at the hospital in the afternoon and having a conversation with Gu Qingqing, Gu Yuan went to the hospital. Let Ling Chao go back to school early.

"Brother Chao, don't bother Aunt Chen in the future." Gu Yuan said as he walked Ling Chao out.

"I will make it up to her." Ling Chao thought that Gu Yuan was afraid that Aunt Chen would care about her.

"My mother is leaving tomorrow, and I have hired a nurse at the hospital, and she will arrange meals," Gu Yuan said.

"Why so fast? Didn't you agree to take a week off?" It's only been five days, why are you leaving all of a sudden?

"Well, just now my mother said that the superior called and there is a case that will be closed tomorrow." Gu Yuan was used to it and said indifferently.

Now Gu Qingqing is recovering pretty well, but she can't move on her own, her body has temporarily stabilized, and Gu's mother has almost stayed in the hospital for the past few days, except that it is really inconvenient to take a bath and have to go back to the hospital, she even rests in the hospital .Gu Qingqing is also very happy to be accompanied by her mother. Although they seldom reunite with her mother since they were young, they have a very good relationship. Gu Qingqing is a sensible girl.Knowing the nature of my mother's work, I never act coquettishly.

"Then..." Ling Chao didn't know what to say, this was Gu Yuan's family business, and he knew about Gu's mother's work, so he finally remained silent.

It wasn't until Gu Yuan sent him to the place where he took a taxi and stopped that Gu Yuan spoke again: "Thank you."

Ling Chao didn't want to hear Gu Yuan say thank you to him, he didn't actually help much, when he came from home before, Ling Chao made a special effort to check whether his card was put away, he thought maybe he could To help him financially, but unexpectedly, Gu Yuan could earn Gu Qingqing's medical expenses with his own ability. After arriving at the hospital, he secretly asked the hospital to know that the expenses were enough. Yuan these problems, but since he can solve them by himself, he will not ask too much, but when he thinks that Gu Yuan is only 15 years old, how did he earn the more than [-] surgical fees, and how many nights did he spend working hard?I always feel sorry for him, but I admire him very much.

Gu Yuan once told him that he needs money, so his free time is not as enjoyable as other students.Regardless of whether it is a night when there is no evening self-study or a holiday weekend, Gu Yuan almost always works at home except when he comes out to pick up a tutor on Saturday morning.Apart from living, most of the money he earned should be saved for his younger sister's medical expenses.

In just a few days, Gu Yuan became thinner than before, his skin became whiter, and he looked very weak. Ling Chao stroked his hair and said, "Don't be polite with me, you should also pay attention to rest. , don’t stay up too late and go to bed.”

"Okay." Gu Yuan answered quickly.

"Are you still working at night?" Ling Chao asked him, "Actually, if you need money..."

Before Ling Chao finished speaking, Gu Yuan snatched his words: "No need." Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have other things this month, so I didn't take the job."

"Okay." I don't know if it was Ling Chao's illusion, but he felt that Gu Yuan seemed to be very persistent on this point.It's not easy for me to say more, so let him go.If he really needed it, he would come in a hurry to help.

Gu Yuan saw an empty car coming.He waved to stop Ling Chao, and pushed him to go back to school quickly.

The hospital is not too close to the school, and it takes about [-] minutes by taxi.At first, Gu Yuan disagreed with Ling Chao running every day, but Ling Chao insisted on coming, Gu Yuan had no choice but to agree.

Watching the taxi go away, Gu Yuan stood there without moving for a long time.It wasn't until an ambulance drove over that the ear-splitting siren woke him up. Gu Yuan sighed a long time before walking towards the inpatient area step by step.

My mother was clearing up Qingqing's empty bowls when she saw him come in and asked him, "Has Ling Chao left?"

"En." Gu Yuan replied.

"It's troublesome during this time. When Qingqing is well, you two remember to treat him to a meal." Zhang Yun wiped the activity table and put it down and said: "I wanted to treat him before leaving, but there is no other way." .”

"Okay." Gu Yuan nodded.

Gu Qingqing was leaning on the bed, she was reading a comic book in her hand, and when Zhang Yun collected the dishes and went out to wash, she put it down and looked at Gu Yuan.

In fact, Gu Yuan's current appearance is no different from usual, but Gu Qingqing grew up with him, and she knows her brother's temperament better than anyone else. Her mother may not be able to see it, but she knows it at a glance. I have something on my mind.

She glanced at the door, guessing that her mother would not come back for a while.

"Brother." Gu Qingqing called out, "Come here and sit for a while."

Gu Yuan sat by the bed according to her words.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Gu Qingqing asked him with a smile.

Gu Yuan actually didn't know what he was thinking, but just downstairs, after sending Ling Chao away, he felt inexplicably reluctant.Obviously, this person can meet me every day.And they are at the same table, spending more time with each other than with anyone else.But just now, seeing the car going away, why did he have the idea that he didn't want Ling Chao to leave?

"I don't know." Gu Yuan said truthfully.

"Is it because of Brother Ling Chao?" Gu Qingqing has never seen her brother have friends since she was a child, and Ling Chao is the first one.She knew that they had not known each other for a long time, and she had only seen Ling Chao twice in the hospital except this time, and she hadn't looked at it seriously the first time.But just that time together, Gu Qingqing clearly felt that her brother was very different in front of Ling Chao.That kind of relaxed and comfortable state is something he doesn't usually have.Even with himself, he has never been like this.

Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't answer, Gu Qingqing asked again: "Did you two quarrel?"

"No." Gu Yuan answered quickly this time.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qingqing was a little helpless.I really don't know how to describe my brother's character.

"He is very kind to us. When he heard that you were sick, he rushed back from City H overnight. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Take care of your illness and get well soon." Gu Yuan said in Gu Qingqing's He patted lightly on the shoulder and said.

"Don't say it if you don't want to. Tell me when you are willing." Gu Qingqing said with an adult look: "Anyway, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side. I will always support you!"

Seeing Gu Qingqing's serious face, Gu Yuan was a little amused: "Thank you! If you want to support me forever, you have to stay with me forever and grow up with me."

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing felt a pain in her heart. In fact, she has always been very open about her illness, and she is very clear about her body.Forever—this word is actually quite extravagant to her.

This is the second time I have been in the operating room this year, and I have been in and out of the hospital for countless periods.She knew that it was not easy for her to survive till now.In the past 15 years, she watched her family run around because of her illness, and her brother stayed up late every day to write codes to earn money.She also longs to live longer and spend more time with her brother, grandma and mother, but...

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing instinctively shook her head to dispel these thoughts in her mind, she wanted to live every day happily.

"Okay, I will work hard. But brother, you have to work hard, work hard to be happy, work hard to live, and work hard to get everything you like." Gu Qingqing said with a smile.

Seeing Gu Qingqing's pale smiling face, Gu Yuan felt uncomfortable, but in order not to let her see it, he also smiled.

Because Zhang Yun is leaving tomorrow, she will go to Gu Yuan's place to collect her luggage first, and stay with Gu Qingqing in the hospital at night, and leave the hospital directly tomorrow morning.

Tonight Gu Yuan put down everything and concentrated on staying with Qingqing in the hospital. The mother and son kept talking until Qingqing was really sleepy and Gu Yuan got up to leave.

The inpatient department was quiet, except for the occasional nurses who went to the ward to make rounds, and there were almost no people in the aisle.

Zhang Yun arranged for Gu Qingqing to sleep, and followed Gu Yuan out slowly.

"Yuanyuan, Qingqing has worked hard for you to take care of her. Your grandma called and said she wanted to come over, but I didn't agree. She's getting old and can't stand such troubles." Zhang Yun said as he walked.

"Well, I also told grandma that Qingqing is quite stable now, so don't worry too much." Gu Yuan said.

"You are in the second year of high school now, and next year will be the third year of high school. Before my mother came back this time, she reported to the leadership and asked them to arrange for me to transfer back to work next year." Zhang Yun said.

Gu Yuan was a little surprised, he had always been very aware of his parents' love for his work, even when he gave birth to himself and Qingqing, his mother was sent to the hospital because of her mobilization.He and his younger sister were born in other places, and when they left the hospital, their mother's unit sent a car to take them back here.She went back to work before the original maternity leave was over.Later, when her father had an accident, she was sad and blamed herself, but she still didn't regret choosing this job.Over the past year, I have only been back twice.In a hurry every time.Now he suddenly heard that his mother was going to call back, how could he not be surprised.

"You are so busy studying, Qingqing's health is getting worse and worse, and your grandma is so old, I should make some contributions to our family." Mom continued: "After your father left, I am very unwilling, those criminals were finally arrested and brought to justice last month, and my wish has come true."

"Then where will you be transferred when you come back?" Gu Yuan asked.

"It's not clear yet, but I'm applying for a job that doesn't go out, so it should be a clerical job." Zhang Yun said with a sigh.

She has been on the front line almost since she assigned the job. She loves that job and never backs down even if it is dangerous.For more than ten years, she never thought that one day she would not be a criminal police officer.But this time when she heard that her daughter was admitted to the hospital, her heart was finally shaken, and she even applied for a job transfer while rushing to report the incident overnight.She is afraid that she will regret it. Now, she is willing to give up her ideal.

"Okay." Gu Yuan supported his mother's decision.In any case, he wishes his mother well.
