Classmate, your pants are fading?

Leaving the door of Cheng Chuji's dormitory, Qi Heng was in a good mood, and his steps became much lighter.If he went back to change his clothes, the sharp-eyed Luo Luo would definitely find it tricky, so it was rare for him to go to the small supermarket to buy a box of chocolate-flavored milk for Luo Luo as a hush money.

Seeing that he had reached the door of his dormitory, his cell phone rang.He thought it was Luo Luo, so he took it out, but the number on the phone turned out to be an unfamiliar number, but it was not the "unfamiliar number" he was familiar with.He looked at the time, it was still early, it shouldn't be that person calling.

Normally, Qi Heng would probably hang up, but today he was in a good mood, so he hesitated for a while before picking up.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

There was no sound from the phone.

This scene gave him a bad sense of déjà vu.He frowned, and was about to hang up when there seemed to be a sudden signal over there, and several intermittent voices came.

After hearing a few words, Qi Heng confirmed that it wasn't the person he didn't want to talk to, so he became more patient.

"Hello? The signal is not good there. Is it a wrong number?"

"Hey?"

"Hello?"

After trying several times, the other party's voice was still intermittent.

"Hello? You made a mistake. I hung up. You can check the phone number again!" He said loudly, as if this would strengthen the signal.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but just as he said he was going to hang up, the noise over there suddenly became much quieter, and a girl's voice could be heard: "Now? Hello? Can you hear me?"

The voice was very unfamiliar, and Qi Heng sighed.He replied: "I heard it. May I ask who you are looking for?"

"I, I..." The girl hesitated, and it took me a long time to continue, "I'm looking for Qi Heng."

Qi Heng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he was really looking for him: "I am Qi Heng. Are you?"

There was a small sob from the girl, and then Qi Heng heard the girl's crying voice: "Brother, it's me~ I'm Qi Pan. Help me..."

"Liver fibrosis?" Qi Heng frowned and repeated the medical terms he had just heard.

Opposite him sat a young woman dressed in rustic clothes, her face had what people usually call "plateau red" because she hadn't maintained it all year round and was exposed to the wind and sun.The sleeves of the old discolored red down jacket had calico sleeves, which were already somewhat dirty.

To be honest, after so many years, Qi Heng's impression of his sister is already very vague, and he doesn't feel familiar at all when he sees the person in front of him.If he hadn't remembered the crimson birthmark on his sister's right hand tiger's mouth, he would have really thought about whether this was a liar.

My younger sister is much fatter than when she was a child. She said that she is married and her child is one and a half years old.Probably due to hard work, she looked older than Qi Heng.

For a moment, Qi Heng felt as if he had passed away. He couldn't accept that he became an uncle before graduation, and he couldn't accept that his sister had changed so much.

But seeing my sister's rough, calloused and cracked hands again, and thinking of my little chubby hand, who used to fight with ice picks and slanderously grabbing chocolates when I was a child, I couldn't help but feel a little bit sad.

Qi Pan took a sip of the coffee in front of him, frowned, and tightly pursed his mouth into a line.

Qi Heng pushed the hot chocolate he ordered to his sister. When he saw Qi Pan ordered coffee, he thought she would not like it.This child has liked sweet things since he was a child, and this is the same for himself.

He took the coffee and opened the sugar packets on the table, tore open three in a row and poured them in, stirring constantly, showing no intention of drinking.

Qi Pan hesitantly took a sip of hot chocolate, immediately stretched his expression, and drank several more sips.

While stirring the coffee, Qi Heng stared at the swirl in the cup and tasted what his sister had just told him.

After he was sent away, his mother gave birth to another boy, named Qi Hong.Dad loves him very much, and he has been doting on him ever since he could talk, and he can be said to give him what he wants.He just glanced at some toys and shouted for them, and his father would buy them for him with Qi Pan's pocket money, and most of the time he would only play with these toys a few times and he would not be rambunctious.

The mother felt sorry for her daughter and had the courage to raise her opinion with her husband several times, but every time the father rolled his eyes and slapped her a few times, the mother couldn't bear it.It didn't take long for the mother and daughter to learn to bear it, and they didn't dare to mention their father's patriarchy anymore.

Qi Hong eats well and grows fast, almost the tallest among the children of the same age in the village. His father is also very happy to see his son, and is even more willing to take him out to play.

People in the village would occasionally ask about Qi Heng, where is your eldest son?

Every time my father replied that the cold turned into pneumonia in winter and he died of illness.But other than that, I won't mention it any more.

In addition to the reason why he always felt that Qi Heng was not his own, there was another reason why he could not mention Qi Heng more, so as not to reveal his secrets.

The family planning in the village is quite tight. Although most families in the countryside are not only children, the unwritten rule in the village is that if the first two children are girls, everyone can allow you to have another child and fight for a boy.But if you have a boy and want to have three or more, it is unreasonable, and you may be fined.

This is also an important reason why my father always disliked Qi Heng.

It's fine to raise a son for others, but it's disgusting to prevent her from having a son.

So he would rather kill Qi Heng.Generally, when people hear that the child has died, they don't ask any more questions, so as not to make the parents sad, so this secret has been kept.Only the parents and Qi Pan still remember that there was a sensible eldest son in this family.An eldest son who can cook, wash pots, boil water, play with his sister, and make his mother happy.

But one of the three people who knew the secret didn't want to mention it, and the other two didn't dare to mention it, so their lives went on like this.

Later, Qi Pan's tuition was used to buy new clothes, new toys, new stationery, and new snacks for her younger brother. She dropped out of school before finishing junior high school.When he was just 20 years old, he was promised by his father to an honest family in the county by a matchmaker.Although the two only met three or four times, they got married soon, because the father was anxious to get the bride price from his daughter's wedding to build a new house for the family, saying that it would be used by his son when he got married.Build it now while it is cheap, and it may become expensive later.

Qi Pan cried and laughed on the day of her wedding, scaring her relatives into thinking she was bewitched.Hastily sent people out, the mother cried into tears holding her daughter, she knew what her daughter was thinking.she understands.

She was sad: she felt wronged that she had to marry a man she didn't understand, a family she didn't understand, live in an environment she didn't understand, and she had to hand over all the betrothal gifts to her father, and she didn't have any money of her own.

She is happy: looking forward to finally escaping from this repressive family, away from her violent father, cowardly mother, and arrogant and domineering younger brother, she feels that the future will be better.

Although the ceremony was held, she was not yet old when she got married, so she did not receive a certificate.However, in rural areas, it is considered that the ceremony is over after the ceremony is held, and neither side cares much about it.She got her marriage certificate because she was pregnant with a child and was afraid that she would not be able to register.

Married life was not as happy as she expected, but it wasn't too bad either. The relationship between husband and wife was very flat, not too sweet, but not too much quarreling.Qi Pan was already very satisfied.In addition, she gave birth to a well-behaved and sensible boy, and her husband's family treated her a little better.

Just after two years of quiet life, Qi Pan suddenly received a call from his father, saying that his younger brother was sick and asked her to go home and take care of him.

Although they are not very willing, they are siblings after all, and they still have some feelings over the past few years. Hearing that Qi Hong was ill, Qi Pan rushed home overnight, and ran to the hospital without changing his clothes.

After staying in front of the hospital bed all night, seeing the child who used to jump up and down chasing him and beating him in the yard became so haggard, the elder sister still couldn't help but shed tears.

Early the next morning, my father took the doctor into the ward and handed her a form for her to sign.

Although Qi Pan didn't study much, he still knew some words.When she saw the words "voluntary consent", "donation", "transplantation", "consequences", "complications" and other words, she still felt that something was wrong, so she refused to sign anything.

Her father said that she had no conscience, that she didn't even care about her siblings, and wanted to watch her younger brother die.The younger brother who was bedridden also cried and cursed, saying that my sister would only be happy if she wanted to see him die.The mother on the side said nothing but wiped her tears.

Seeing that Qi Pan disagreed with life and death, his father ran to the county seat and found his in-laws, crying and crying about his difficulties.Even a single seedling is about to disappear, and the daughter is still unwilling to donate part of her liver to save her younger brother, so they can help persuade her.

Said it was persuasion, but in fact he brought 5000 yuan with him.It was stuffed to the in-laws and said that it would be used as a support for the daughter after the operation.But having said that, they all knew that Qi Pan didn't know about this money, even if she had an operation, she wouldn't know about it.Said it was for her use, but it was actually a private favor transaction between the few people.

The in-laws naturally want to help after receiving the money.The husband, mother-in-law and father-in-law called her every day, and they were moved by reason and emotion, and wanted her to agree to the operation.They are afraid that if the daughter-in-law refuses, they will not respond at all when they come to ask for the money back another day.This money is easy to collect, but it will hurt if you really spit it out.

Having to take care of his mother and younger brother during the day, and being "educated" by his father and husband at night, Qi Pan was tortured by both soft and hard methods for two weeks and finally signed.

The operation was quickly arranged, and before being pushed into the operating room, Qi Pan suddenly felt empty when he saw his parents surrounded by his younger brother.She admits that she is very utilitarian, and one of the selfish intentions of promising herself more than half of the liver to her younger brother is to win her father's love, a love she has never had since she was a child.She kept telling herself that now that her younger brother was sick, it was only natural that he should receive more care.Just wait until the surgery is done.

The surgery went well.Qi Pan cried as soon as she woke up, and the doctor asked her why she just shook her head and bit her lip and kept crying.The doctor thought she was in pain from the incision, so he gave her painkillers.After the injection, she fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day.

When she woke up and saw her father sitting beside her, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her chest, and thought that if a piece of liver could be exchanged for her father's love, she would be worth it.

But the first sentence her father said poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Xiaohong is still observing, and I don't know if your girl's liver will work. The operation cost a lot of money, and if it doesn't work, it will cost more money. You have to work hard!"

Qi Pan took a deep breath and held back the tears.From this moment she told herself that her debt had been paid.I no longer owe this family anything.

Qi Pan stayed in the hospital for a week, during which time he only briefly exchanged a few words with his mother, other than that, he didn't say a word.On the day of discharge from the hospital, I also went through the procedures myself, and I left silently.Qi Hong's operation went well, and he was discharged from the hospital in less than a month.

Just when she thought everything could return to peace, a phone call from her father a few months later plunged her into a dark abyss again.

"Hey! Qi Pan, the doctor said that your brother's liver seems to be failing again. Come back again, it seems that there is something wrong during the operation. You should try again when you come back. The doctor said that your body should recover in three months. It’s grown up. I think we can try again. Our family can save money, it’s too expensive to find something else. Hello? Hello! Have you heard it again? The date is set for the 15th of next month, remember to buy tickets and come back early. By the way, eat lightly recently, eat less big fish and big meat. Don't get pregnant either. Do you hear me?"

His father hung up the phone first, and Qi Pan was stunned for a long time holding the phone with busy tone.

She discussed it with her husband, but the husband didn't pay attention at all, and just said to let her make up her own mind, no matter what.But she made insinuations and asked her natal family to give some financial compensation, otherwise she would have to deduct her wages if she took leave for surgery.
