Back to 1993 through time travel

Holidays are always short, and the Spring Festival flies by quickly. In 1994, with the sound of firecrackers, it started quietly. For summer, the most important thing in this year is the college entrance examination, and the start of the year was very good, at least , he spent New Year's Eve with Gao Jianfeng.

Although, they didn't manage to stay together.

Xia Tian's nod to Gao Jianfeng was actually an answer to Gao's first question—are you going back to the dormitory?

After holding back the distracted horses rushing up, Xia Tian calmed down and rejected Gao Jianfeng's invitation with a smile.

Gao Jianfeng is still so magnanimous, and obviously treats himself as a brother and friend, and Xia Tian doesn't want to break this relationship that is considered a barrier to him.He has his own sense of measure in doing things, and he has a good time, and then he can proceed step by step according to the plan in his heart.If you are too eager for success, sometimes it will backfire, not to mention it is the third year of high school, and it is the early 90s. It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to admit that you are gay, you will need the courage to kill and set fire. He has to give Gao Jianfeng some time to think. and room for decision.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the short vacation was completely over, and the four big characters of sprinting for the college entrance examination were written on Zhou's mother's face, filling every classroom and every corner on the fourth floor.It was only now in Xia Tian that he really felt that he had gone to high school again, and he also heard more and more about the topic of volunteering in the future from the chats with his classmates.

This year, just in time for the reform of the college entrance examination, the 3+2 model began to be adopted nationwide. The biggest problem that plagued science students, politics, was excluded from the exam papers. With this good news, Xia Tian finally knew Gao Jianfeng's ideal university. It is an old-fashioned military school, A University, built in an important northern town thousands of miles away.

Quite well-known, but also quite difficult to take the exam. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this university was even more attractive to the children of cadres than Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Saying that you don’t want to be a soldier, in fact, you can’t break some of the origins, Xia Tian thought, after that, he searched a lot of information carefully, and confirmed that his grades reached the admission score of A University in this province. It is a very partial subject, as he expected, it cannot be compared with the H University he wants to go to at all.

But now that it's all decided, Xia Tian won't hesitate any longer. At worst, he will take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, or find more practical opportunities during his school days. His life path is still broad and bright, and that road can accommodate Gao Jianfeng no matter what. .

Of course, Chen Fan can also be accommodated.

After the new year, Chen Fan applied for housing, but the quota was not approved so quickly, so the unit temporarily found her a single room in transit.On the day they moved there, Xia Tian accompanied Chen Fan and Xu Bing, and voluntarily served as a labor force for a whole day.

It was Sunday, and all three members of Xu's family were there. Xu Weidong tried to make a last resort, but unfortunately it was too late. The problem was too long, and Chen Fan's last bit of patience had been exhausted. She didn't say a word the whole time. On the contrary, Mrs. Xu was leaning against the door frame, watching her packing things with a half-smile, her eyes fixed tightly, as if she was afraid that she would take any valuables, passbooks and bank cards.

"One day, one day, one hundred days of kindness," Mrs. Xu said casually, "it's not easy for you to take care of the child alone, so what's the trouble? It makes sense at a glance."

Xu's mother and son were eager for Chen Fan to take Xu Bing away, so the old lady was irritating Chen Fan.She knew this seemingly gentle and docile daughter-in-law, and knew that Chen Fan had a kind of lofty and unyielding stubbornness in his bones.

That is the place that Mrs. Xu is most annoying and also the most unpredictable. What is there to be proud of?Mrs. Xu thought disdainfully, they are the children of cadres, but then they will be sent to the farm, their parents will be harassed and criticized, and they can’t even eat their own food. They are as thin as a bean sprouts. Then I gave her cornmeal buns to satisfy her hunger, she might have starved to death long ago.

At the beginning, she didn't agree with the second child looking for this woman. Chen Fan's family fell down, and it was impossible to help the second child in the future. What happened to her was all right.When it arrived, Chen Fan was able to settle down and take root in the provincial capital because of her son's relationship. Her son worked hard all the way, but in the end he didn't even have a son.

Chen Fan ignored Mrs. Xu, she packed her things calmly, until she went downstairs, she didn't even look back at the house again.

Xia Tian rented a three-wheeled scooter in advance, and when he arrived at the place, he carried things upstairs like ants moving house. Afterwards, he cleaned the room and carried two gas tanks upstairs. .

With his own nest, Chen Fan is in a pretty good mood, but Xu Bing is sleepy all day long. Some topics cannot be easily touched, and he will cry whenever he talks about them.Now the material conditions are much worse than before, and she also clearly knows that she was abandoned by Xu Weidong, this truth almost overnight, crushed her proud self-satisfaction, arrogance and impetuousness.

It is difficult for a person to grow without experiencing the world. For Xu Bing, who is used to being arrogant, it is impossible to grow up overnight. The little wild cat.

The days are step by step, like a breeze blowing across the water, the traces left are only for a moment.Suddenly it was the beginning of March, and the peach trees in the school sprouted new buds. Within a few days, a few budding flowers emerged in the cold spring breeze.

It's a pity that the flowers of the motherland have no time to appreciate them at all, and the graduates plunged into the sea of ​​questions and forgot themselves. However, at such a tense time, Gao Jianfeng suddenly and rarely came to school for a whole day.

Is it sick?Xia Tian looked at the empty table and thought, half morning has passed, because there is no such person next to him, he is really not used to it.

Going to the bathroom between classes, I happened to meet Wang Yang and the others who had just come up from the downstairs after putting out the poison. Liu Jing was yawning like he hadn’t smoked enough. The smoker Gao Jianfeng was not here today.

Xia Tian used this topic to ask: "Is Gao Jianfeng sick?"

Liu Jing was not in good spirits, and his brain slowed down a bit. After thinking for a while, he said, "Oh yes, he didn't come to school today. It's very unlikely that he's sick, but he's in good health, which is similar to Superman. I think Think about it," he turned around and asked Wang Yang, "What date is it today?"

Wang Yang didn't answer, just nodded, so the two of them agreed, and Liu Jing followed up and said, "It's definitely not sick leave, it's personal leave, hey, he's supposed to come tomorrow, whether he listens to the lectures in class or not, anyway, he usually doesn't." Missing class."

It seemed that both of them knew the reason why Gao Jianfeng asked for leave, and Xia Tian's nerves that often went astray were twisted again, and he suddenly felt that his understanding of Gao Jianfeng was actually far worse than the others around him.

Before he could find out why, the bell rang, and Xia Tian went back to class with a trace of displeasure. He didn't want to leave school at noon, so Zhou's mother told him the good news that changed his mood - the results of the math competition came out, and he won the second prize. The result was better than anyone expected.

For Xia Tian, ​​the certificates and certificates that Zhou's mother handed over to him are far less exciting than bonuses.After several rounds of wits and courage between Zhou Ma and the vice principal Papi, he finally won the maximum benefit for him. With the 600 yuan, Xia Tian immediately thanked Zhou Ma sincerely. Still thinking about another person who should be more grateful.

It is inconvenient to carry cash with you, that's what local rich people like to do. These days, bank interest is not as deceitful as later generations. Xia Tian decided to take the lunch break to a nearby bank and open a separate account to deposit the money first.

As soon as he left the school, he saw a thin middle-aged woman standing at the door, pulling students to ask questions. She looked unusually anxious, and she looked a little abnormal, which made the timid girls detour. For fear of avoiding it.

Xia Tian didn't pay attention, walked past the woman, but suddenly heard her ask: "Gao Jianfeng from Class [-], Senior Three, who of you knows him, call him out for me."

Stopping in footsteps, Xia Tian greeted him.The woman seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. In a series of incoherent expressions, Xia Tian struggled to understand that her son was a friend of Gao Jianfeng, who was seriously ill, and now he was waiting for an operation in the hospital. There was no one who could make up his mind, so he had no choice but to come to Gao Jianfeng.

These days, scammers should not be as endless as they were 20 years later, Xia Tian listened suspiciously, and then caught a familiar name from her words, Wang Ning.

Isn't that the skinny monkey who sold him a modified bicycle in the small broken house in the urban-rural assembly department?And this woman is Wang Ning's mother, Du Jie.

Gao Jianfeng went into the house to talk to Du Jie that day, and Xia Tian listened to it in a daze. At that time, he was just a little suspicious of Gao Jianfeng's relationship with this family. After all, Gao Jianfeng's life trajectory is unlikely to overlap with Du Jie. place.

At that time, Xia Tian had little curiosity about Gao Jianfeng at best, not to mention other interests, but now it is different, not to mention saving people is like putting out a fire. Seeing Du Jie's panicked look, Xia Tian immediately took a taxi and accompanied him She rushed to the hospital.

When they arrived at the place, Wang Ning was already preparing to go to the operating table. The hospital was anxiously waiting for the family members to sign. After being complained by the nurse, Xia Tian realized that what Wang Ning had was not a life-threatening emergency at all, but the most common Appendicitis is acute, and there may be a risk of perforation if there is no operation.

It was a false alarm, but soon, the problem came again.

Du Jie just refused to agree to the operation. She was intimidated by the consent forms for the operation that resembled life and death. She repeatedly said that she could not harm the child, and she asked the hospital to implement conservative treatment.

Xia Tian couldn't laugh or cry, he pulled the person aside for a while, patted Du Jie's back to comfort him, and patiently explained that appendicitis is a very simple minor operation, if it can be done in half an hour, no hospital will do it What's more, they are still in the best local hospital in Xijing City.

"It's really all right?" Du Jie asked with out-of-focus eyes, "What they said is scary, like if you go up, you can't come down. Ning Ning, he can't die, and I can't live if he dies."

She covered her face, and she didn't know whether it was tears or sweat that dripped down. Xia Tian tried to appease and persuade Du Jie and then threatened her, but finally got Du Jie to sign the consent form and put down her pen. Holding Xia Tian's hand, he refused to let it go.

After a long time, Du Jie calmed down slowly, wiped her eyes, and said embarrassingly: "I am confused, and I have never been to a hospital before. When I hear the word surgery, my soul will be quickened." The scare is gone, I have only one son left, Ningning, and I dare not harm him anymore, I am really, really scared."

There is some information hidden in these words, and Xia Tian's heart moved slightly when he heard it. At this moment, a male doctor about 30 years old came over, he looked at Du Jie, and then turned to Xia Tian, ​​"Patient's family members come here, I have something to tell you."

Du Jie's legs were shaking immediately, Xia Tian quickly helped her to sit down first, and patiently told her again not to be afraid, the doctor is just a routine, at this time the male doctor who hadn't walked two steps turned his head back, "Du Jie Ma'am, sit down first, it's nothing serious, and I can enter the operating room in 15 minutes."

Xia Tian didn't expect the doctor's attitude to be quite friendly. Could it be that doctors are generally more qualified these days?Of course, people in later generations complain about the bad attitude of doctors. In fact, they can’t be entirely blamed on doctors. With the outpatient volume of tertiary hospitals, doctors usually receive 50-60 person-times in a morning. In addition to consultations, Even drinking water and going to the toilet is like a war. The doctor has no time to raise his head, and he has no extra thoughts to appease the patient and explain the diagnosis and treatment plan in detail. It's just that the standpoint is different. As a patient, it is really difficult to understand the doctor's extreme pain. Impatient scolding and perfunctory.

Sitting in the office, Xia Tian looked at the attending doctor with a good attitude. He was young, with a fair face, and a name tag on his chest, which read the attending physician Peng Haowei.

"Are you a relative of the patient? Or a classmate?" Dr. Peng asked.

Xia Tian answered vaguely: "Distant relatives."

Dr. Peng snorted: "Then your aunt, or your aunt? Well, I don't know what your relationship is. Anyway, Ms. Du's leg needs to be operated on quickly. If this delay continues, I'm afraid I will be permanently disabled in the future."

Xia Tian remembered that Du Jie was really not walking fast along the way. He was obviously in such a hurry, but as long as he took two quick steps, his body would stagger. people brought into the hospital.

"And her mental condition is not very good." Peng Haowei took out a cigarette and lit it, and continued, "The matter of her eldest son has been going on for so many years, hasn't she let it go?"

Xia Tian, ​​as a pseudo-relative who didn't know anything at all, of course didn't know how to answer the conversation at this moment, so he shook his head with a sad face, and continued to wait for the next sentence, but listening to the voice, this Dr. Peng seemed to know Du Jie's family.

Sure enough, Peng Haowei said: "Nine years ago, I just came to our hospital for an internship. At that time, the interns were on a regular basis. I was not in general surgery, but in the psychiatric department. Ms. Du's son, Wang An, was the old man who took me The director's patient was diagnosed with delusional disorder caused by depression at that time. Looking at it now, Ms. Du also has a tendency to be depressed. I just said a few words to her, and she burst into tears. I didn’t post it further. In fact, there is something wrong with it. Isn’t it just appendicitis? As for being so frightened? So what I call you here is to tell you that her emotional problems must arouse the attention of your family members. Pay attention."

Nine years ago, Wang An, Wang Ning... Xia Tian made some calculations, and felt that he vaguely guessed something, similar to why Gao Jianfeng and this family had an intersection...

After thinking about it, he heard Peng Haowei say again: "I'm really not trying to scare you. Severe depression can lead to suicidal tendencies. You should remember how Wang An died?"
