Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

The sound of Jiang Xi's footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor, but Zhong Yifan's heart was still beating wildly.It wasn't because of the last sentence, it was because Jiang Xi's crazy way of smashing the door just now really scared him a bit.The fact that boys like boys really needs to be spread, he is afraid that he will never face his parents again.

He wiped his sweaty forehead indiscriminately, before he could completely calm down, the phone in the dormitory suddenly rang.

Thinking in his heart that Tong Huan should have called him at home, Zhong Yifan answered the phone.

It wasn't Tong Huan, the call was from my mother from a public phone outside.

Zhong's mother didn't know whose son was waiting for a call, so she came up anxiously and told Zhong Yifan to come to the local hospital as soon as possible.

"What's the matter, Mom? Why aren't you feeling well?" Hearing his mother's urgent tone, Zhong Yifan couldn't help but also panicked.

"It's not me, it's Hu Zi."

Huzi is Zhong Yifan's younger brother who is only in the sixth grade of elementary school. He is a child born after the one-child policy was introduced. For this reason, the family was almost bankrupted.I heard that at that time, grandma and grandpa were begging a prestigious old leader with a bottle of dichlorvos and a hanging rope. In the end, they were lucky enough to be dismissed from their father's position as deputy director of the workshop and reduced to ordinary workers. They kept their jobs with their mother. However, the salaries of the two are not allowed to increase for three years on the basis of three consecutive reductions.

"What's wrong with Huzi?" As the name suggests, Huzi is usually as strong as the little tiger of the boss. Zhong Yifan really can't think of what kind of disease his younger brother can't see in the hospital of the paper mill, so he has to travel all the way to the local hospital to see .

"Oh, it's not a tiger. I'm too anxious to explain clearly. Anyway, you go to the hospital to help mom first, and then you can talk about it when you come over."

Putting down the phone, Zhong Yifan put on his down jacket, grabbed the scarf and walked out of the school at a trot.

Huzi is different from Zhong Yifan, he is a child who has nothing to do with shopping, maybe because of the youngest son, Zhong Yifan feels that his parents, especially his father, are particularly partial to his younger brother.Many times he saw Huzi misbehaving and wanted to slap him on the buttocks, but his parents stopped him lightly.

This time, Huzi finally got into trouble.

On the way home from school, I was walking home with my classmates holding a slingshot, and hit a classmate in the left eye. The Zhong family rushed the child to the paper mill hospital.The on-duty intern doctor checked and said that the situation might be serious, and the medical conditions in the small hospital were limited, so he was sent to the field hospital for treatment.

In this way, Mother Zhong took the child by taxi and hurried to the hospital, while Father Zhong went to the workshop of the paper mill to find the child's parents who were still working in middle school.

Huzi, who got into trouble, changed his previous appearance of a bully, and sat on the bench in the hospital looking terrified. When he saw Zhong Yifan coming, he just timidly called Brother Ju.Mother Zhong took the child for an examination, and handed over the worry-free little son to the elder son.

I couldn't help but reached out and poked my little brother's forehead, but seeing Huzi's little teardrops rolling in his eyes and holding back, he couldn't bear to say anything more.

"Brother, if Qiao Xu is blind, will he arrest me and send him to jail?"

"I won't be blind, I'm sure I won't." Taking the little brother's head into his arms, Zhong Yifan stroked Huzi's short cropped head twice, comforting his little brother and himself.

While the two brothers were anxious, Papa Zhong rushed to the hospital with Qiao Xu's parents who were anxious. It happened that the authoritative ophthalmologist of the hospital had just finished the examination.Qiao Xu's choroidal detachment, lens dislocation, retinal prolapse, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, the doctor said that eyeball suture surgery is needed immediately.

Qiao Xu's mother became hysterical as soon as she heard about this situation, she fell to the ground crying and couldn't even get up.

The doctor is going to prepare for the operation, and this place is still in a state of being turned on its back. Father Zhong was so angry and embarrassed when he saw Qiao Xu's mother crying and paralyzed on the ground, he couldn't help but yanked the tiger and slapped her ass hard. kick.

It was the first time Zhong Yifan had seen his father lose such a temper when he was so old. He was stunned by the kick at first, and then he saw his father kicking his head and covering his face with his dead hands. He rushed up and stopped him.

"Dad, something has happened, and killing Huzi now won't help anything. The most important thing is to see a doctor first." Zhong Yifan whispered in his father's ear as he hugged the little brother who was so frightened that he couldn't cry anymore. .

Zhong's father's mind is completely messed up now, and the eldest son pulled him and Zhong's mother together to discuss what to do now.

Needless to say, the medical expenses must be borne by the family, Zhong Yifan asked his mother to go back to prepare the money first, and he himself planned to go to the house of his cousin who worked in the local hospital.Although my aunt is a pediatrician, she is a colleague after all, and Zhong Yifan felt that asking his cousin to ask the doctor who operated on Qiao Xu what the worst outcome would be is a good mental preparation.And by the way, let my younger brother live there first tonight, so that my father won't get angry when he sees Huzi.

It was quite late when he came back from his cousin. He was forced by his cousin to stay for dinner, and brought another copy back to his father.

It was getting dark and wanted to take a shortcut, but Lu Zhong Yifan in the field department was not very familiar with it. Some sections of the road were very dark, and he forgot to bring a flashlight from his aunt's house. As a result, he lost his way.

Unexpectedly, he was not the only one who lost his way tonight. He was walking close to the side of the road when a car horn sounded behind him.

Looking back, Zhong Yifan couldn't see what kind of car it was against the light, so Zhong Yifan raised his hand to cover his eyes and stopped.

The car slowly slid to stop next to him, the window was lowered, and the man in the driver's seat who spoke standard Mandarin stretched out his head to ask Zhong Yifan for directions.

"Paper mills, I know."

That was Zhong Yifan's home, so the driver asked the right person blindly.When he was helping to point out the general direction, the window on the back seat of the car was lowered, and a middle-aged man in his 40s poked his head out with a tired expression, and thanked Zhong Yifan politely.

It was only after the car drove away that Zhong Yifan noticed that the logo was a big Benz, such cars are rare in this small place.

But he didn't expect that he saw this car again the next day, let alone his mother would get out of this car.The mother seemed to have some dispute with the middle-aged man, trying to drive him away like a fly.Zhong Yifan was really amazed at the scene he saw from the window in the corridor of the hospital. Just as he was about to go downstairs to help his mother out of the siege, her mother had already got rid of the man and came up.

Originally, I wanted to ask my mother what was going on, but as soon as I came to work in the morning, I went to ask Qiao Xu's doctor's cousin, who happened to come out of the doctor's place, and dragged Zhong's father to the window at the corner of the stairs to explain the details.Both father and cousin were present, and it was not easy for Zhong Yifan to ask his mother what was going on, so he first listened to what his cousin said about Qiao Xu's situation.

The condition of Qiao Xu's eyes is not optimistic. After consultation with local ophthalmologists, he believes that the patient's vision has no possibility of recovery at all, but the possibility of eyeball shrinkage in the future is very high.So far, medical technology is still unable to do eyeball transplantation. If it really shrinks in the future, it will not even be possible to keep the eyeball for beauty. It can only be removed and installed with a prosthetic eye.

As soon as Zhong's mother heard this, her legs went limp, and Zhong Yifan supported her from behind.The cousin hurriedly took out the house keys and asked Zhong Yifan to accompany his mother to her house to have a rest.

They are all parents. Zhong's father and Zhong's mother are very clear about how Qiao Xu's parents will react when they know the result. However, the misfortune has already happened. The only thing they can do is to compensate them financially as much as possible.However, if they are all employees of paper mills, how much money can they have if they eat dead wages?After Zhong Yifan's grandpa and grandpa retired, they opened a small shop to supplement the family income, and they often gave him and Huzi some pocket money, which made their family appear to be more or less a middle-class family, but they couldn't help but run into each other. Such a thing!

"Compensation! Compare your heart with your heart, it's someone else's child's eye, and you have to pay for it!" Just under the window of the hospital, Zhong's father made such a decision.

Zhong Yifan thinks that his father's decision is very responsible. After all, it is the tiger who caused the trouble, and it is only right and proper for his family to compensate others.Anticipating that he would have to borrow money from his cousin and other relatives for compensation, Zhong Yifan immediately told his father that after he graduated, he would help the family work hard to make money and pay off the debt.

The three of them had just discussed, when the footsteps of leather shoes sounded on the stairs, and the voice stopped not far from the three of Zhong's family with some hesitation.

"Construction, long time no see."

Zhong Jianshe, Zhong Yifan's father's name, and the other's familiar tone made all three of them turn their heads away at the same time.

It was the middle-aged man in suit and leather shoes who asked Zhong Yifan to pass by last night. Although his expression was tired, he could tell that he was definitely a handsome and handsome man back then.

It's just that the three members of Zhong's family now look at the man with very different expressions.

Zhong Yifan was completely puzzled, especially after seeing his mother arguing with this man downstairs just now.Mother Zhong's expression was much more complicated, resentment, unwillingness, grievance, and more panic of fear, she tightly pressed her son's finger holding her arm, and hardly dared to look at the man more.

"It's you?" Zhong Jianshe was obviously the one who reacted the most, his dark face turned from surprise to anger, and it was almost distorted.Although the thin figure is as much as a head shorter than the man, he still took a step forward angrily, staring at the small eyes that were trying to widen as if they hadn't woken up, and stood in front of the wife who was not confused but could still see the beauty of the past: "What are you doing back here?"

This kind of behavior of his father is definitely not like seeing a good friend, Zhong Yifan stared at him unfriendlyly, and asked with disgust: "Dad, who is he?"

"Are you Fanfan? You've grown up so much..." The man obviously didn't recognize that the boy in front of him was the boy who showed him the way last night.Although Zhong Yifan's eyes were very cold, but he looked at Zhong Yifan with incomparable eagerness.

Just as Zhong Yifan was about to answer the call, Qiao Xu's mother found out from somewhere that she was about to tell her about her son's stitches removed after surgery, so she threw herself on Zhong's mother while crying, and relentlessly grabbed people to return them to Xu. Xu's eyes.

A group of men, women and children followed the Qiao family's seven aunts and eight aunts, and surrounded the Zhong family three to discuss an explanation. The men in suits and leather shoes were pushed out of the crowd, and no one cared about him for a while.

Although Zhong's father and Zhong's mother repeatedly stated that they would definitely take corresponding responsibilities, Qiao Xu's mother still asked them for his son's eyes, until they were "invited" outside by the doctor to discuss because they were too noisy.

"50! Not a penny less, or you'll be blinded, one eye for an eye." After a quarrel, Qiao Xu's uncle finally put down such cruel words.

Of course, let alone 50, even 500 million won't be able to buy back one eye of someone else's child. This is a big mistake that no amount of money can make up for.But 50 is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the Zhong family at this moment. Even if they want to give it, they really can't afford it.

"If you have something to say, don't use your hands." Just as Zhong Yifan was protecting his mother from being pushed, the middle-aged man squeezed in at some point and stopped Qiao Xu's two aunts who jumped the highest. The nose was poked by a woman's long nails: "Whether it is private or through legal channels, you have negotiated and the two families sit down and discuss it. Money is not a problem. But if you continue to push and beat people or threaten them, the Zhong family will reserve Your right to legal responsibility."

The man's speech and behavior were very dignified, and he immediately calmed down the group of relatives in the Qiao family who were in a mess. Even the 50 yuan said it was not a problem, and the Cai Da was really angry. A bunch of people were dumbfounded, and even the three members of the Zhong family were speechless.

However, Mother Zhong knew one thing very well. In this world, there is no free lunch, and the body supported by her son couldn't help but tremble again...
