In the next two months, the days were as harmonious and warm as flowing clouds and flowing water.悫琼琻晓
Lin Hao was surprised to find that Gu Xihe was not like the impression he had given everyone before, he stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth to eat, and he didn't work hard.He can cook delicious meals, change light bulbs and fix sewers.Even carrying 100 catties of rice up to the sixth floor in one breath without complaining about fatigue,
Gu Xihe told Lin Hao that it was because he didn't like to talk to others since he was a child, and he didn't bother to find a servant if something broke in the room and needed to be repaired.In the beginning, he asked Lin Hao to help him, but most likely, Lin Hao went back to find a special person to help, and Gu Xihe was very annoyed when he went in and out of the young master's room.
So gradually, he developed the ability to study everything by himself, and he could do everything.
Lin Hao thought: People who are lazy must be diligent in body. This is really the truth.
The two got up in the morning and had a clear division of labor, Gu Xihe made breakfast and Lin Hao cleaned up the room.Then we took the bus together to go to the training school.It is a well-reputed college entrance examination counseling and further training school, which is generally used to recruit undergraduates, adult self-examination students and repeat students.Although the teacher is not as good as St. Waffle, he is still dedicated and responsible.
Lin Hao's homework is good, and it doesn't have much influence.As for Gu Xihe, even if the former lecturer was Professor Ace, he didn't listen to a class well, so now there is no problem of adapting or not.
After school at five o'clock in the afternoon every day, I will participate in self-study in the evening.
The two sometimes study late at school, and dinner is settled at the fast food restaurant next door.Sometimes I would go home early, stop by the vegetable market to buy some ingredients, Gu Xihe cooked dinner, and Lin Hao helped him check the exercises and exam papers.
Sometimes there are quarrels, usually caused by Gu Xihe, and Lin Hao can reply with three sentences at most and then stop making a sound.
In the end, either Gu Xihe stuck to him like an octopus and apologized, or he just threw himself down and ate it up.
Gu Xihe's grades in the first mock exam of the Institute of Advanced Studies really improved a lot. That day, Lin Hao specially arranged some warm atmosphere in the room as a reward.
Afterwards, the two hugged each other on the bed, chatting with each other.
Gu Xihe suddenly sighed, Lin Hao stretched out his hand to smooth his frowning brows: "What's wrong, Xihe?"
"I was thinking, if the days are so peaceful and comfortable, will my mother stay silent?" Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao's body and kissed his forehead: "I'm a little worried about her sudden attack. , making it difficult for us to parry."
"Don't think about it so much, maybe Madam wants to open it too, just let it be." Of course Lin Hao knows that this is a fantasy, but besides being calm and positive, it's better than worrying all day long.
"You think highly of her, don't you?" Gu Xihe snorted, "There is nothing in her life that can be taken off the line in her hands. Holding everything that belongs to her and that that doesn't belong to her is the biggest thing in her life." pleasure."
"But she is your mother after all, how can any mother really have the heart to make her son so miserable..."
"She is Tang Jialan first, and my mother second." Gu Xihe sneered: "Whether it is me or my father, in fact, she is almost oppressed by her.
A difficult person, no matter what capacity she appears in your life, is a headache.Lin Hao..."
"kindness?"
"Why have you never visited your mother?" Gu Xihe asked.
Lin Hao's body trembled slightly. He had never shown such deep feelings towards Gu Xihe—in fact, he hated that irresponsible woman.
"You still blame her." Gu Xihe turned his head and held his face: "She betrayed Lin Bo back then, and has since disappeared from your life..."
"Don't talk about it." Lin Hao lowered his eyes: "I don't judge whether she is qualified as a mother. After all, she gave birth to me and brought up Xinxin. But I really don't have so much affection for her. .
I know that she has done that kind of job and got that kind of disease.I just feel sorry, but I don't feel ashamed because she is my mother.She is her, I am me... I just feel sorry for Xinxin. "
"Have you asked your sister to send her to the exclusive medical hospital?"
"En." Lin Hao nodded: "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"talk."
"I really don't feel at ease when Xinxin is alone. You know that my mother doesn't have much time left for this illness. When she's gone, I want to meet Xinxin and let her come and live with us."
"Okay!" Gu Xihe agreed without even thinking.
"Ah? Are you so forthright?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment. Anyone should hesitate to add one person to the world of two people.
"She is your sister, that is, my sister. Why do I disagree?" Gu Xihe rolled over and pressed Lin Hao, his eyes became gentle: "Lin Hao, I have already betrayed my family and all relatives. You and Your sister is my family."
"Xihe..." Lin Hao's heart suddenly ignited with a flame of emotion. It turned out that the man in front of him was so strong that he no longer needed his protection.
He is gentle, considerate and considerate, and works hard to make progress without complaint.It turned out that such a good nature and temperament were ravaged to the point of utter arbitrariness by the powerful mother who thought she could give her son the best education.
Lin Hao thought it was ironic. He really wanted to record Gu Xihe's every move and send it to Tang Jialan for a good look.Let her understand that she actually already has the best son in the world, but she never knows how to cherish it.
But people have weaknesses, and their temperaments are cute.Gu Xihe suddenly yelled, and jumped out of Lin Hao's body like a spring!
"What's wrong?" Lin Hao was taken aback by him, turned on the light and saw that his face was pale and incoherent.
"Cockroach...cockroach..." Gu Xihe said with trembling lips, pointing at the little reptile walking leisurely on the wall.
"Are you afraid of cockroaches?" Lin Hao picked up a tissue and pinched the cockroaches.
"Nonsense... the darkness is so terrifying!" Gu Xihe took two steps back: "I told you not to eat snacks in the bedroom! This... cockroach... people say that you saw one in your room, It means that there are at least [-] of them in places you can't see!"
"It's just a little bug, why are you so scared." Lin Hao pinched his fingers and killed the cockroach with a sizzling sound.
"****! Don't pinch—" Gu Xihe covered his ears, feeling like his heart was going to be torn apart, and that ear-piercing sound drove him crazy.
"Okay, okay, let's clean the room thoroughly this weekend." Lin Hao got out of bed, threw away the tissue, washed his hands and came back.
"You... don't touch me, you are not allowed to touch me tonight!" Gu Xihe looked at Lin Hao's hand that had pinched the cockroach in horror.
It's already late autumn, Lin Hao took out a thick quilt and told Gu Xihe to dry it for a few hours when the sun is shining, and don't forget to avoid dew.He was going to go out. Ding Xin's school held a parent-teacher meeting today, but her mother's condition made it impossible to attend.
So Lin Hao promised her to pretend to be her cousin, and in order to look mature, he deliberately grew a few days of green stubble.
Gu Xihe came back from the vegetable market, bought Lin Hao's favorite fish, and after hanging the bedding on the air, he hummed a strange tune composed by himself while happily busying himself in the kitchen.
Until there was a bang like a hammer smashing outside the door.
People who knock on the door like this usually don't come from a good source.Gu Xihe was full of anger, and was just about to scold that son of a bitch for being polite, when he opened the door - three or five guys with cigarette tattoos in their mouths rushed in one after another!
"Who are you? What are you going to do—" Gu Xihe got up to stop him, but was pushed down by a tall and strong fat man.
"Where is Lin Xingye?" The fat man spat and shouted sharply.
"He has passed away for more than half a year, and the name of this house belongs to his son now." Gu Xihe said.
"You are his son?" The fat man picked up the stick on Gu Xihe's chin, and the foreign nails on it were emitting a bit of cold air.
"What do you want?!" Gu Xihe didn't bother to explain, thinking that these people were not kind, let's hear what they want to do.
"Lin Xingye used to borrow us usurious loans and hid them for more than ten years. Now that he is dead, you have to pay it back, or sell the house to pay it back!" The fat man shook his hand, and a crumpled IOU It fell in front of my eyes.
"Impossible! He is honest and kind, and he does his duty, so he won't borrow any usury!" Gu Xihe retorted looking at the paper that didn't seem real at all.
"Stop talking nonsense! You are limited to pay back the money obediently within three days, otherwise I will find you even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"
"You..." Gu Xihe sneered in his heart: he said 'you' instead of 'you'.It seems that this guy clearly knows that he is not alone, but he just doesn't know if he is Gu Xihe or Lin Hao.It's clear that someone ordered to come to the door!
"Come to the door to ask for money based on an unclear financial situation. Think there is no law in this world, right?" Gu Xihe pushed away the stick and said sharply: "It's fine to pay back the money, see you in court!"
"You're fucking looking for death, aren't you!" The stick hit Gu Xihe's face with a wave, and he stretched out his hand to block it, but the sharp nail cut open a few inches long wound on his arm, and blood dripped immediately.
"Boss, is he Lin Xingye's son? What if—" A younger brother came up and whispered.
"Don't worry about that much! Throw things first!" the fat man said, and a group of people swarmed to intensify the destruction like a planet hitting the earth.
"Stop! I'll call the police!" Gu Xihe went to grab the phone, but the fat man stepped on his hand: "Call the police? Report your sister's big-headed ghost—I tell you, we will visit the door every three days. When the time comes, if you don’t call the police, your neighbors will call the police and arrest you, saying you’re a nuisance!”
In this way, a few people destroyed the house, and finally painted horrific threatening slogans on the gate and corridor, and walked away.
"Thank you brother today." Ding Xin smiled and said to Lin Hao while drinking milk tea: "My classmates are very envious when they see that I have such a handsome brother."
"I'm the one to thank you," Lin Hao patted the girl's head: "You have good grades and have been praised by the teacher all the time, and my brother is proud of you."
"Brother," Ding Xin smiled shyly, "Sometimes I think, it would be great if you were really my brother. Have you noticed that our noses and eyes really look alike."
Lin Hao felt suffocated and wanted to blurt it out, but at this time, it was better not to ask the young girl to recite too many life experiences, and it would be better to be happy and simple.
"Okay, if you like it, treat me as your brother." Lin Hao patted the girl on the shoulder and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, I'm going back."
It was past five o'clock, and Lin Hao called Gu Xihe, but there was only a voice that the number you dialed was not in the service area.
Gu Xihe's cell phone had already been broken by those thugs.At this moment, he sat in the corner of a ruined wall, grabbed a towel to wrap up the wound, and got up to make dinner for Lin Hao.
Thinking with a wry smile, it was a miracle that the fish was still alive after such a toss.
Lin Hao went upstairs and saw all kinds of bright red threatening slogans on the door. At that time, he was out of his wits. He couldn't wait to rush into the living room. He was almost suffocated by the mess in front of him.
"Xihe! Where are you, Xihe?" Lin Hao panicked and shouted with his throat open.
"What are you shouting for? I'm here." Gu Xihe came out of the kitchen with the dishes, hiding his injured arm behind his back: "Wash your hands and eat."
"What is this—" Lin Hao grabbed the dish and threw it on the messy dining table, holding Gu Xihe's shoulders in both hands and looking from top to bottom: "Who came here? Are you injured? Let me see -"
A trace of suppressed pain suddenly flashed between Gu Xihe's brows, and Lin Hao realized that the palm of his arm was covered with sticky sticky.
"you…."
"It's just a small injury," Gu Xihe waved his hand: "Those people... should be sent by my mother." He handed the paper on the table to Lin Hao: "I don't believe that Lin Bo would borrow any usury, This thing is obviously not a product of more than ten years ago. A4 paper of this texture is only available after printers became common in recent years. Even if it is old and crumbled, you can see the flaws."
"Xihe..." Lin Hao took his arm and gently took off the towel that was wrapped indiscriminately on it. The not shallow wound was soaked in fresh flesh and blood, and he was shocked to see it.
"It's okay." Seeing the man in front of him with tightly twisted sad eyebrows, Gu Xihe stroked his cheek: "My mother just sent someone to threaten me twice, I don't believe she can really kill me! "
"Call the police."
"What's the use of calling the police... The director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau is her college classmate, and he chased her for half a year." Gu Xihe smiled. "As long as no one is killed, it can be regarded as a family dispute, but what I can do - is to protect you."
"They will come to make trouble in a few days." Lin Hao sighed: "Xihe, let's move out of this place for now."
"They will find us wherever we move, why not just wait here, I really don't believe she can kill me!" Gu Xihe sneered.
"If you can't afford to provoke, you can't hide..." Lin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Let's rent a small house closer to the school, and finish our studies first."
"She will still come to school to make trouble." Gu Xihe sighed.
"That's not true. The background of the school is covered by Yue Jiucheng's family. Businessmen don't fight with officials. Madam will still be more cautious—" Lin Hao took the wallet and keys: "Let's go, go to the hospital to see the injury first. "
"Lin Hao..." Gu Xihe stood still.
"what happened?"
"I was thinking, if it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, I wouldn't have brought you so much trouble and danger." Gu Xihe lowered his voice, and the words flowed out of his throat helplessly: "If you are with Yue Jiucheng, It probably won’t be like this.”
"What nonsense!" Lin Hao frowned, and pressed Gu Xihe's lips: "Actually, I'm not strong enough..." He took Gu Xihe's hand behind his back: "I brought you out of that kind of life without worrying about food and clothing." life, and didn't protect you well."
"Lin Hao, no matter how hard it is to suppress, we can't give up, okay?" Gu Xihe stared into his eyes and said solemnly.
"Well, never give up." Lin Hao smiled and pulled him downstairs.
The nearest hospital was two streets away from home. The wound was not too deep, and there were not many stitches.But in order to prevent tetanus, I still took a bottle of anti-inflammatory drip.
Gu Xihe was sitting in the infusion room, Lin Hao went to the nearby real estate agency to look for a cheap and convenient apartment.
Generally, the rent needs to be paid with three deposits and one deposit. Lin Hao's bank card does not have much money, so he brought Lin Xingye's regular passbook with him.But was told that the account was frozen.
"How could it be? It has been more than half a year since my father passed away, and I have already submitted the documents for the declaration of inheritance." Standing near the processing window, Lin Hao asked anxiously: "Because it is a fixed deposit, I have not moved it since I am not in a hurry to use the money. , How can it be frozen now?" His previous expenses were only the remainder of the current passbook, and Lin Xingye's fixed deposit was all his savings over the years, and he spent a lot of it during the two years of seeing a doctor, and in the end there was about 27 to [-] yuan left .Lin Hao thought about using it for himself and his sister to study in the future, so he never moved.
"We don't know, but we have received the regulations from the relevant departments. Your father has never reported his personal income tax in these years. So it may be necessary to freeze his account during his lifetime and conduct a thorough investigation," the bank staff advised: "You don't have to Too worried. Even if the overpaid taxes and late fees are settled together, there won’t be much money. It will still be unfrozen and returned to you.”
Father's salary is settled monthly by the housekeeper of the Gu family. It is really not clear whether he has filed a tax return.
But there was an accident at this juncture, and if you think about it with your cerebellum, you know that someone is behind the scenes.
"But I'm in a hurry to use the money now." Lin Hao showed embarrassment: "Can't you be flexible! If it's not possible, I can be a house guarantee or something——"
The staff shrugged: "There is nothing we can do about it."
"Then...how long will it take to thaw?"
"I can't say for sure. The relevant department will give a reply within three months... It can be ten and a half months at the fastest, or at the slowest time—maybe you will be required to issue other explanations or the like. Just wait."
Lin Hao bit his lip and walked out of the bank. Now he had less than 2000 yuan in cash.Not to mention renting a house, even daily life cannot be maintained.
He stopped at the real estate agency he just passed by, and went to the account manager: "I'm sorry, sir, the house I was looking at just now is a bit... not very desirable. Is your side closer to Sanhe Street? of?"
"Yes, yes..." The manager flipped through the information: "Convenience is the most convenient, just one intersection. But you may not like this house—"
After hanging the salt water from the hospital, Lin Hao and Gu Xihe followed the manager to see the apartment.It was an old apartment building, and it was going to be demolished next year.The landlord waited to get the compensation and moved out early.Therefore, if there is no one, you have to hang up with the intermediary, and you can only find a short-term rental.
One-bedroom households, no living room, and the bathroom is less than two square meters.The decoration is in the style of more than ten years ago, and many things are dilapidated.There was also a piece of glass missing from the window.
"Four hundred and eighty a month. Pay three and bet one." The manager said.
"Just this house costs four hundred and eighty?" Gu Xihe sneered: "I still pay three bets and one, and I want to run away if he doesn't chase me away!"
"The landlord didn't expect to make money from the rent, so I put it in our agency's right to earn some handling fees." The manager smiled and said: "If you want it sincerely, I will be the owner. 400 yuan, the deposit is fine, one-time I will give you one thousand and two, and I will rent it to you for three months. You can move in with your bags tomorrow."
"Let's think about it." Lin Hao hesitated, he himself was fine, but he really didn't want Gu Xihe to suffer such grievances.
"It's okay, just stay here. It won't be long anyway." Gu Xihe said to Lin Hao.
"En." Lin Hao agreed, hastily signed a contract as crumpled as toilet paper, and the two moved here the next day.
"Actually, it's not that sad." Gu Xihe looked at the small house that had been thoroughly tidied up. It was old, but no matter how you looked at it, it was clean and warm.
"It's just a bit cold," Lin Hao looked at the shabby windows, "It's going to be winter soon, there's no air conditioner, and it's still facing north—"
"It's okay, let's sleep with our arms around each other." Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao, smiled and kissed him.
"I hope my dad's account can be settled safely." Lin Hao sighed: "I didn't expect to be put on the list. If I knew I didn't care about the interest, I would transfer it to my own card earlier—"
"Don't worry too much about this. You can leave your father's money to Xinxin. We will have part-time jobs during the winter vacation. I don't believe that two big men can support me!" Gu Xihe said firmly: "My mother It’s so childish to think that you can crush us with this little trick!”
The days that followed were uneventful, probably because Tang Jialan had wishful thinking, thinking that the two of them would always come back and beg themselves because they were desperate because of their lack of money.
Except for the poor housing conditions, the lives of the two have not changed much.I just found a part-time job as a porter at the convenience store in front of the door, and I did it for two hours after school. Although the money was not much, it was enough for two people to eat for a day.
"Brother..." Ding Xin's voice choked on the other end of the phone.Lin Hao's heart twisted: Damn it, since Tang Jialan can find usury to harass her, how could she let Ding Xin go!
"Xinxin, what happened! Don't cry!" It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Lin Hao and Gu Xihe finished their part-time jobs and were reviewing their homework in the room.Ding Xin's phone call disrupted the peaceful rhythm of the day.
"Mom, she...she..."
Lin Hao sighed softly, thinking: Ding Pei must have passed away.
"Xinxin, be strong." Lin Hao didn't know how to comfort her, because the person who just closed her eyes belonged to her own mother: "Your mother has also suffered a lot these years, you should think so - she is a relief That's right. She is very relieved that you have come out so well."
"Brother, the nurse at the hospital said that my mother committed suicide." Ding Xin's breathing choked.
"Suicide?!" Lin Hao shook his hand and almost dropped the phone.
"My mother left me a suicide note, and then strangled herself by the bedside with an infusion tube." Ding Xin was sobbing.
"Where are you? I'll go there right away." Lin Hao jumped up and put on his clothes.
"Lin Hao—I'll go with you!" Gu Xihe also got up, and the winter night was getting colder, so the two hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital where Ding Pei died.
"Brother!" The tear-stained girl rushed over as soon as she saw Lin Hao.
"Xinxin, be good—come and sit down." Lin Hao held her hand in distress: "You wear so little in such a cold day. Your little hands are freezing."
"Brother, mom said she didn't want to drag me down...she left me a letter." Ding Xin's tears hung on his red nose, which was truly heartbreaking.
"The nurse said that two strangers came to see my mother the day before she committed suicide, and she was in a bad mood after that. I was preparing for the final exam, so I didn't see her every day... As a result, at night... the nurse called me and said that my mother gone."
"Two strangers..." Gu Xihe closed his eyes and leaned against the wall: "What did they say?"
"You are..." Ding Xin looked at Gu Xihe in surprise.
"He is my brother's good friend, and you will call him brother from now on." Lin Hao said to the girl, "Do you know what those two strangers said?"
"I don't know," Ding Xin shook her head: "The nurse told me later that the two strangers didn't stay long, and they talked for 10 minutes. After leaving, my mother cried and asked the nurse for paper and pens. She said He didn't think much about it at the time, he never expected that his mother would write a suicide note."
"Those two strangers, did you ask what they looked like?" Lin looked at Gu Xihe and asked the girl.
"The nurse said that one is an old man in his sixties, and the other stands behind him like a bodyguard, wearing a suit and sunglasses. He looks like a person of status, and he is very well dressed."
"Does the old man have pockmarks on his face?" Gu Xihe basically already had the answer in his heart.
"Yes, the nurse mentioned it." Ding Xin nodded repeatedly.
Gu Xihe was about to go out, but Lin Hao grabbed him: "Xihe!"
"I want to see if she's not finished!" Gu Xihe lost all reason, and roared, "Gu Pingzhao was asked to come forward in person, threatening to humiliate orphans and widows! I really regret being born to such a mother!" come out!"
"Xihe!" Lin Hao hugged him and said in a low voice, "Forget it...my mother made her own decision."
"Brother," Ding Xin pulled Lin Hao's sleeve, and handed over a snow-white envelope: "This thing is from my mother. It's so strange, she has never seen you. Maybe it's because I often say something wrong." A good brother who took good care of me - she just wanted to thank you at the end..."
Lin Hao turned around and took the envelope from the girl's hand.There is a line of crooked fonts on it - Lin Hao's personal letter.
"She still specifically stated in the letter to me that I should hand it over to you, and I'm not allowed to peek at it." Ding Xin said.
With trembling hands, Lin Hao opened the letter left by Ding Pei:
Lin Hao:
You must be surprised and resentful when you read my letter.If I have to be called the worst mother in the world, I must be well-deserved.
In fact, from the first time Xinxin told me that I met a warm-hearted big brother online and often supported her, I subconsciously suspected that that person was you.
Back then, it was my selfishness and laissez-faire that made an irreparable mistake, which deeply hurt your father and the young you.Here, I am not qualified to ask for your forgiveness, but I sincerely wish you all the best.
My whole life has been full of sins and filth. The only consolation is that Xinxin has grown into an excellent girl, smart, sensible, warm and kind.
I thank God for not letting my daughter be infected with my fault, so I pray with a guilty heart that you can give her shelter.
You are her only relative in this world. Ever since you secretly helped us, I knew that you were a kind and affectionate child, just like your father.I am willing to degenerate and do not know how to cherish, and I do not expect your forgiveness. I only hope that you can be happy, healthy and happy forever.
Incompetent mother, Ding Pei's last pen.
Lin Hao opened the envelope, and an old family photo slipped out. At that time, his father was still young and his mother was also very beautiful.The boy standing on the ground is about four or five years old, and the girl in the mother's arms doesn't seem to be able to walk yet.
Who would have thought that living the warmth in the photos would have such a helpless story behind it.Right and wrong, kindness and resentment, are nothing more than bones and ashes.
Maybe father and mother are not suitable for marriage, but the offspring of the most wrong combination have the right to live well.
"Lin Hao." On the way back, Lin Hao bowed his head without saying a word, and walked in a hurry.With little money in their pockets, they can only walk a few kilometers home.
Gu Xihe closely followed his steps, and it took a long time before he could say a word.
"Xihe, it's not your fault." Lin Hao stopped and waited for him.
"Lin Hao," Gu Xihe walked around to the man, wrapped his trembling body with his coat, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry."
"What's wrong with me..." Lin Hao smiled wryly and shook his head: "I didn't cry when Dad left."
"Lin Hao, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault that I said it." Lin Hao raised his eyes, and touched Gu Xihe's face with cold fingers: "Actually, I was thinking, no matter how much your mother makes you hate, she is still your mother. You two can still quarrel." You can still hate each other, and you can still care about each other. But I——I am already an orphan. I haven’t even seen my mother’s last side.”
Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao and held him tightly in the cold wind: "Lin Hao, cry out. You will feel better."
Maybe it was walking in the cold wind for a long time the day before, maybe it was the cleanliness Gu Xihe who insisted on taking a bath in such a cold day, maybe it was nothing, but accidentally got infected by a passerby's sneeze.
Gu Xihe started to have a cold and fever from the next day.
The young man's physique is still good, so the two of them didn't care about it at first, and only took some conventional cold medicine.But Gu Xihe insisted on refusing to miss work after class, and moved the goods for another two days.As a result, when I got home on the third night, I fell down and couldn't wake up.
Lin Hao panicked and rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and was immediately hospitalized.
Gu Xihe has a medical insurance card, and Tang Jialan is not so mad that he even stopped this for his son.
But just after completing the hospitalization procedures, the doctor came to see Lin Hao.
"Your brother's problem is serious, but it's not serious. Pneumonia in adults is not as easy to get the root cause of the disease as children. But it will take a long time to recover. I see your age. You are going to take the college entrance examination soon, right?"
"En." Lin Hao nodded, waiting for the doctor's next words.
"That's why I suggest whether you should switch to imported drugs. The curative effect is fast and the side effects are small. Basically, you can leave the hospital in ten days. But the price-it must be a bit more expensive. If your financial conditions permit, I still suggest you use this. "
"That's good! As long as it's good for him, I don't care about the price." Lin Hao said quickly.
"That's good," the doctor nodded: "One bottle costs 8000 yuan. In his case, one course of treatment is basically enough. It's about [-] yuan."
"En, yes!" Lin Hao nodded, he knew that Gu Xihe's illnesses in the past were always seen by the family doctor, and this regular medical insurance card is not usually used, so there should be a lot of balance left.
"But this medicine is not covered by the medical insurance program. If you need to pay for it separately, let me explain to you first." The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Go and pay the bill when you're ready, and change the medicine when the fever subsides today."
Cash payment... Lin Hao stood in the middle of the hospital corridor in a daze.
A few days ago, Yue Jiucheng forced himself 5000 yuan, but he didn't dare to let Gu Xihe know about it.But even with this amount of money, there is still a long way to go, where to plan.
The self-esteem of himself and Gu Xihe could not allow them to reach out to their friends, Lin Hao slowly walked out of the inpatient department, and caught a glimpse of the blood station sign of the subordinate health institution.
He bit his lower lip, turned around and walked over there.
A week later, Gu Xihe's spirit was much better.After the fever subsides, people are much more relaxed.Lin Hao went to class during the day and came to the hospital at night, even though he was ill, Gu Xihe refused to miss his studies.
Lin Hao peeled an apple for him and put it to his mouth with a toothpick.
"This apple is very sweet, so the price is not cheap." Gu Xihe took a bite.
"It's winter, and the price of fruits has increased. I just bought two." Lin Hao put away his textbooks: "Let's take a break, I'm very stressed when you study so hard. I couldn't solve the problem last time." It really embarrasses me to be conquered by you when I came out."
"Hey, I said earlier that I am very capable, but I don't just want to overwhelm you in 'that'." Gu Xihe shook Lin Hao's hand: "When I recover from illness, we will be together in the next few days." Back to you."
"Be serious, there are other people in this ward." Of course, the ward stuck with medical insurance will not be a very comfortable single room. There is an old man in the next bed, and there are two middle-aged men on the opposite side.
They are also kind, and often share some food and drink with the two of them, and they also repeatedly praised that in this modern society where family affection is indifferent, it is rare to have brothers with such a good relationship.
"You should eat some too." Gu Xihe pushed the apple to Lin Hao: "Your complexion is not very good recently, you should also pay attention to supplement your body with nutrition. Do you only eat instant noodles at noon when I'm not at home?"
But Gu Xihe didn't know that Lin Hao only left him eight yuan for food every day, and he couldn't even afford instant noodles.
"I'm fine, I'm much stronger than you." Lin Hao pressed down his hand: "You need to eat more nutritious food to take care of your body now. Let me buy a chicken tomorrow. I will stew it for you in a small restaurant." -"
"Buy a chicken?" Gu Xihe smirked: "I think it's because you want to eat chicken - let's go..."
"You! Vulgar!" Lin Hao pushed him back on the bed, and walked out with the garbage: "You lie down for a while, I'll go out for a while."
The two of them didn't go to part-time jobs for the past few days, so the cost of living naturally began to bottom out.Lin Hao didn't care about himself, but he couldn't let Gu Xihe go hungry.He gritted his teeth and walked to the blood station again.
"Why are you here again? It's been sold twice a week, and the one who smokes for you is not a nurse, but a butcher!" The nurse drove Lin Hao out as soon as he saw him.
"Nurse, nurse, I'm really fine! Look, I'm very strong—" Lin Hao begged bitterly.
"Don't do this! I don't care what urgent matters you have. We doctors are parents, and we can't see people trading their lives for money no matter what - get out!" The little nurse said angrily.
If this one doesn't work, just change to another one. There is not only one blood station in the whole city.Lin Hao went out, thinking helplessly.
It took an hour to return by bus from another district, and it was already dark when we arrived at the hospital.
On the bus just now, it was the first time that the tired Lin Hao didn't get up and give up his seat to the old man, which caused a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm.He could only close his eyes and not speak, and got out of the car amidst people's accusations.
"Lin Hao, long time no see." A sports car stopped in front of Lin Hao, and Song Ting's half-smile face appeared on the lowered window pane.
"Master Song?" Lin Hao was startled.
"Why, that pampered young master couldn't hold on so soon?" Song Ting got out of the car and looked at the man in front of him provocatively.
"How do you know he's sick?"
"Nonsense, his medical insurance has been using money. Don't forget that my uncle is the director of the National Commercial Insurance Fund Group."
"You've been staring at Xihe?" Lin Hao frowned.
"I've been an opponent for so many years, so I can't even care about it?" Song Ting pressed one hand on the car door, looked Lin Hao up and down: "What's wrong, you
In the next two months, the days were as harmonious and warm as flowing clouds and flowing water.悫琼琻晓
Lin Hao was surprised to find that Gu Xihe was not like the impression he had given everyone before, he stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth to eat, and he didn't work hard.He can cook delicious meals, change light bulbs and fix sewers.Even carrying 100 catties of rice up to the sixth floor in one breath without complaining about fatigue,
Gu Xihe told Lin Hao that it was because he didn't like to talk to others since he was a child, and he didn't bother to find a servant if something broke in the room and needed to be repaired.In the beginning, he asked Lin Hao to help him, but most likely, Lin Hao went back to find a special person to help, and Gu Xihe was very annoyed when he went in and out of the young master's room.
So gradually, he developed the ability to study everything by himself, and he could do everything.
Lin Hao thought: People who are lazy must be diligent in body. This is really the truth.
The two got up in the morning and had a clear division of labor, Gu Xihe made breakfast and Lin Hao cleaned up the room.Then we took the bus together to go to the training school.It is a well-reputed college entrance examination counseling and further training school, which is generally used to recruit undergraduates, adult self-examination students and repeat students.Although the teacher is not as good as St. Waffle, he is still dedicated and responsible.
Lin Hao's homework is good, and it doesn't have much influence.As for Gu Xihe, even if the former lecturer was Professor Ace, he didn't listen to a class well, so now there is no problem of adapting or not.
After school at five o'clock in the afternoon every day, I will participate in self-study in the evening.
The two sometimes study late at school, and dinner is settled at the fast food restaurant next door.Sometimes I would go home early, stop by the vegetable market to buy some ingredients, Gu Xihe cooked dinner, and Lin Hao helped him check the exercises and exam papers.
Sometimes there are quarrels, usually caused by Gu Xihe, and Lin Hao can reply with three sentences at most and then stop making a sound.
In the end, either Gu Xihe stuck to him like an octopus and apologized, or he just threw himself down and ate it up.
Gu Xihe's grades in the first mock exam of the Institute of Advanced Studies really improved a lot. That day, Lin Hao specially arranged some warm atmosphere in the room as a reward.
Afterwards, the two hugged each other on the bed, chatting with each other.
Gu Xihe suddenly sighed, Lin Hao stretched out his hand to smooth his frowning brows: "What's wrong, Xihe?"
"I was thinking, if the days are so peaceful and comfortable, will my mother stay silent?" Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao's body and kissed his forehead: "I'm a little worried about her sudden attack. , making it difficult for us to parry."
"Don't think about it so much, maybe Madam wants to open it too, just let it be." Of course Lin Hao knows that this is a fantasy, but besides being calm and positive, it's better than worrying all day long.
"You think highly of her, don't you?" Gu Xihe snorted, "There is nothing in her life that can be taken off the line in her hands. Holding everything that belongs to her and that that doesn't belong to her is the biggest thing in her life." pleasure."
"But she is your mother after all, how can any mother really have the heart to make her son so miserable..."
"She is Tang Jialan first, and my mother second." Gu Xihe sneered: "Whether it is me or my father, in fact, she is almost oppressed by her.
A difficult person, no matter what capacity she appears in your life, is a headache.Lin Hao..."
"kindness?"
"Why have you never visited your mother?" Gu Xihe asked.
Lin Hao's body trembled slightly. He had never shown such deep feelings towards Gu Xihe—in fact, he hated that irresponsible woman.
"You still blame her." Gu Xihe turned his head and held his face: "She betrayed Lin Bo back then, and has since disappeared from your life..."
"Don't talk about it." Lin Hao lowered his eyes: "I don't judge whether she is qualified as a mother. After all, she gave birth to me and brought up Xinxin. But I really don't have so much affection for her. .
I know that she has done that kind of job and got that kind of disease.I just feel sorry, but I don't feel ashamed because she is my mother.She is her, I am me... I just feel sorry for Xinxin. "
"Have you asked your sister to send her to the exclusive medical hospital?"
"En." Lin Hao nodded: "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"talk."
"I really don't feel at ease when Xinxin is alone. You know that my mother doesn't have much time left for this illness. When she's gone, I want to meet Xinxin and let her come and live with us."
"Okay!" Gu Xihe agreed without even thinking.
"Ah? Are you so forthright?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment. Anyone should hesitate to add one person to the world of two people.
"She is your sister, that is, my sister. Why do I disagree?" Gu Xihe rolled over and pressed Lin Hao, his eyes became gentle: "Lin Hao, I have already betrayed my family and all relatives. You and Your sister is my family."
"Xihe..." Lin Hao's heart suddenly ignited with a flame of emotion. It turned out that the man in front of him was so strong that he no longer needed his protection.
He is gentle, considerate and considerate, and works hard to make progress without complaint.It turned out that such a good nature and temperament were ravaged to the point of utter arbitrariness by the powerful mother who thought she could give her son the best education.
Lin Hao thought it was ironic. He really wanted to record Gu Xihe's every move and send it to Tang Jialan for a good look.Let her understand that she actually already has the best son in the world, but she never knows how to cherish it.
But people have weaknesses, and their temperaments are cute.Gu Xihe suddenly yelled, and jumped out of Lin Hao's body like a spring!
"What's wrong?" Lin Hao was taken aback by him, turned on the light and saw that his face was pale and incoherent.
"Cockroach...cockroach..." Gu Xihe said with trembling lips, pointing at the little reptile walking leisurely on the wall.
"Are you afraid of cockroaches?" Lin Hao picked up a tissue and pinched the cockroaches.
"Nonsense... the darkness is so terrifying!" Gu Xihe took two steps back: "I told you not to eat snacks in the bedroom! This... cockroach... people say that you saw one in your room, It means that there are at least [-] of them in places you can't see!"
"It's just a little bug, why are you so scared." Lin Hao pinched his fingers and killed the cockroach with a sizzling sound.
"****! Don't pinch—" Gu Xihe covered his ears, feeling like his heart was going to be torn apart, and that ear-piercing sound drove him crazy.
"Okay, okay, let's clean the room thoroughly this weekend." Lin Hao got out of bed, threw away the tissue, washed his hands and came back.
"You... don't touch me, you are not allowed to touch me tonight!" Gu Xihe looked at Lin Hao's hand that had pinched the cockroach in horror.
It's already late autumn, Lin Hao took out a thick quilt and told Gu Xihe to dry it for a few hours when the sun is shining, and don't forget to avoid dew.He was going to go out. Ding Xin's school held a parent-teacher meeting today, but her mother's condition made it impossible to attend.
So Lin Hao promised her to pretend to be her cousin, and in order to look mature, he deliberately grew a few days of green stubble.
Gu Xihe came back from the vegetable market, bought Lin Hao's favorite fish, and after hanging the bedding on the air, he hummed a strange tune composed by himself while happily busying himself in the kitchen.
Until there was a bang like a hammer smashing outside the door.
People who knock on the door like this usually don't come from a good source.Gu Xihe was full of anger, and was just about to scold that son of a bitch for being polite, when he opened the door - three or five guys with cigarette tattoos in their mouths rushed in one after another!
"Who are you? What are you going to do—" Gu Xihe got up to stop him, but was pushed down by a tall and strong fat man.
"Where is Lin Xingye?" The fat man spat and shouted sharply.
"He has passed away for more than half a year, and the name of this house belongs to his son now." Gu Xihe said.
"You are his son?" The fat man picked up the stick on Gu Xihe's chin, and the foreign nails on it were emitting a bit of cold air.
"What do you want?!" Gu Xihe didn't bother to explain, thinking that these people were not kind, let's hear what they want to do.
"Lin Xingye used to borrow us usurious loans and hid them for more than ten years. Now that he is dead, you have to pay it back, or sell the house to pay it back!" The fat man shook his hand, and a crumpled IOU It fell in front of my eyes.
"Impossible! He is honest and kind, and he does his duty, so he won't borrow any usury!" Gu Xihe retorted looking at the paper that didn't seem real at all.
"Stop talking nonsense! You are limited to pay back the money obediently within three days, otherwise I will find you even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"
"You..." Gu Xihe sneered in his heart: he said 'you' instead of 'you'.It seems that this guy clearly knows that he is not alone, but he just doesn't know if he is Gu Xihe or Lin Hao.It's clear that someone ordered to come to the door!
"Come to the door to ask for money based on an unclear financial situation. Think there is no law in this world, right?" Gu Xihe pushed away the stick and said sharply: "It's fine to pay back the money, see you in court!"
"You're fucking looking for death, aren't you!" The stick hit Gu Xihe's face with a wave, and he stretched out his hand to block it, but the sharp nail cut open a few inches long wound on his arm, and blood dripped immediately.
"Boss, is he Lin Xingye's son? What if—" A younger brother came up and whispered.
"Don't worry about that much! Throw things first!" the fat man said, and a group of people swarmed to intensify the destruction like a planet hitting the earth.
"Stop! I'll call the police!" Gu Xihe went to grab the phone, but the fat man stepped on his hand: "Call the police? Report your sister's big-headed ghost—I tell you, we will visit the door every three days. When the time comes, if you don’t call the police, your neighbors will call the police and arrest you, saying you’re a nuisance!”
In this way, a few people destroyed the house, and finally painted horrific threatening slogans on the gate and corridor, and walked away.
"Thank you brother today." Ding Xin smiled and said to Lin Hao while drinking milk tea: "My classmates are very envious when they see that I have such a handsome brother."
"I'm the one to thank you," Lin Hao patted the girl's head: "You have good grades and have been praised by the teacher all the time, and my brother is proud of you."
"Brother," Ding Xin smiled shyly, "Sometimes I think, it would be great if you were really my brother. Have you noticed that our noses and eyes really look alike."
Lin Hao felt suffocated and wanted to blurt it out, but at this time, it was better not to ask the young girl to recite too many life experiences, and it would be better to be happy and simple.
"Okay, if you like it, treat me as your brother." Lin Hao patted the girl on the shoulder and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, I'm going back."
It was past five o'clock, and Lin Hao called Gu Xihe, but there was only a voice that the number you dialed was not in the service area.
Gu Xihe's cell phone had already been broken by those thugs.At this moment, he sat in the corner of a ruined wall, grabbed a towel to wrap up the wound, and got up to make dinner for Lin Hao.
Thinking with a wry smile, it was a miracle that the fish was still alive after such a toss.
Lin Hao went upstairs and saw all kinds of bright red threatening slogans on the door. At that time, he was out of his wits. He couldn't wait to rush into the living room. He was almost suffocated by the mess in front of him.
"Xihe! Where are you, Xihe?" Lin Hao panicked and shouted with his throat open.
"What are you shouting for? I'm here." Gu Xihe came out of the kitchen with the dishes, hiding his injured arm behind his back: "Wash your hands and eat."
"What is this—" Lin Hao grabbed the dish and threw it on the messy dining table, holding Gu Xihe's shoulders in both hands and looking from top to bottom: "Who came here? Are you injured? Let me see -"
A trace of suppressed pain suddenly flashed between Gu Xihe's brows, and Lin Hao realized that the palm of his arm was covered with sticky sticky.
"you…."
"It's just a small injury," Gu Xihe waved his hand: "Those people... should be sent by my mother." He handed the paper on the table to Lin Hao: "I don't believe that Lin Bo would borrow any usury, This thing is obviously not a product of more than ten years ago. A4 paper of this texture is only available after printers became common in recent years. Even if it is old and crumbled, you can see the flaws."
"Xihe..." Lin Hao took his arm and gently took off the towel that was wrapped indiscriminately on it. The not shallow wound was soaked in fresh flesh and blood, and he was shocked to see it.
"It's okay." Seeing the man in front of him with tightly twisted sad eyebrows, Gu Xihe stroked his cheek: "My mother just sent someone to threaten me twice, I don't believe she can really kill me! "
"Call the police."
"What's the use of calling the police... The director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau is her college classmate, and he chased her for half a year." Gu Xihe smiled. "As long as no one is killed, it can be regarded as a family dispute, but what I can do - is to protect you."
"They will come to make trouble in a few days." Lin Hao sighed: "Xihe, let's move out of this place for now."
"They will find us wherever we move, why not just wait here, I really don't believe she can kill me!" Gu Xihe sneered.
"If you can't afford to provoke, you can't hide..." Lin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Let's rent a small house closer to the school, and finish our studies first."
"She will still come to school to make trouble." Gu Xihe sighed.
"That's not true. The background of the school is covered by Yue Jiucheng's family. Businessmen don't fight with officials. Madam will still be more cautious—" Lin Hao took the wallet and keys: "Let's go, go to the hospital to see the injury first. "
"Lin Hao..." Gu Xihe stood still.
"what happened?"
"I was thinking, if it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, I wouldn't have brought you so much trouble and danger." Gu Xihe lowered his voice, and the words flowed out of his throat helplessly: "If you are with Yue Jiucheng, It probably won’t be like this.”
"What nonsense!" Lin Hao frowned, and pressed Gu Xihe's lips: "Actually, I'm not strong enough..." He took Gu Xihe's hand behind his back: "I brought you out of that kind of life without worrying about food and clothing." life, and didn't protect you well."
"Lin Hao, no matter how hard it is to suppress, we can't give up, okay?" Gu Xihe stared into his eyes and said solemnly.
"Well, never give up." Lin Hao smiled and pulled him downstairs.
The nearest hospital was two streets away from home. The wound was not too deep, and there were not many stitches.But in order to prevent tetanus, I still took a bottle of anti-inflammatory drip.
Gu Xihe was sitting in the infusion room, Lin Hao went to the nearby real estate agency to look for a cheap and convenient apartment.
Generally, the rent needs to be paid with three deposits and one deposit. Lin Hao's bank card does not have much money, so he brought Lin Xingye's regular passbook with him.But was told that the account was frozen.
"How could it be? It has been more than half a year since my father passed away, and I have already submitted the documents for the declaration of inheritance." Standing near the processing window, Lin Hao asked anxiously: "Because it is a fixed deposit, I have not moved it since I am not in a hurry to use the money. , How can it be frozen now?" His previous expenses were only the remainder of the current passbook, and Lin Xingye's fixed deposit was all his savings over the years, and he spent a lot of it during the two years of seeing a doctor, and in the end there was about 27 to [-] yuan left .Lin Hao thought about using it for himself and his sister to study in the future, so he never moved.
"We don't know, but we have received the regulations from the relevant departments. Your father has never reported his personal income tax in these years. So it may be necessary to freeze his account during his lifetime and conduct a thorough investigation," the bank staff advised: "You don't have to Too worried. Even if the overpaid taxes and late fees are settled together, there won’t be much money. It will still be unfrozen and returned to you.”
Father's salary is settled monthly by the housekeeper of the Gu family. It is really not clear whether he has filed a tax return.
But there was an accident at this juncture, and if you think about it with your cerebellum, you know that someone is behind the scenes.
"But I'm in a hurry to use the money now." Lin Hao showed embarrassment: "Can't you be flexible! If it's not possible, I can be a house guarantee or something——"
The staff shrugged: "There is nothing we can do about it."
"Then...how long will it take to thaw?"
"I can't say for sure. The relevant department will give a reply within three months... It can be ten and a half months at the fastest, or at the slowest time—maybe you will be required to issue other explanations or the like. Just wait."
Lin Hao bit his lip and walked out of the bank. Now he had less than 2000 yuan in cash.Not to mention renting a house, even daily life cannot be maintained.
He stopped at the real estate agency he just passed by, and went to the account manager: "I'm sorry, sir, the house I was looking at just now is a bit... not very desirable. Is your side closer to Sanhe Street? of?"
"Yes, yes..." The manager flipped through the information: "Convenience is the most convenient, just one intersection. But you may not like this house—"
After hanging the salt water from the hospital, Lin Hao and Gu Xihe followed the manager to see the apartment.It was an old apartment building, and it was going to be demolished next year.The landlord waited to get the compensation and moved out early.Therefore, if there is no one, you have to hang up with the intermediary, and you can only find a short-term rental.
One-bedroom households, no living room, and the bathroom is less than two square meters.The decoration is in the style of more than ten years ago, and many things are dilapidated.There was also a piece of glass missing from the window.
"Four hundred and eighty a month. Pay three and bet one." The manager said.
"Just this house costs four hundred and eighty?" Gu Xihe sneered: "I still pay three bets and one, and I want to run away if he doesn't chase me away!"
"The landlord didn't expect to make money from the rent, so I put it in our agency's right to earn some handling fees." The manager smiled and said: "If you want it sincerely, I will be the owner. 400 yuan, the deposit is fine, one-time I will give you one thousand and two, and I will rent it to you for three months. You can move in with your bags tomorrow."
"Let's think about it." Lin Hao hesitated, he himself was fine, but he really didn't want Gu Xihe to suffer such grievances.
"It's okay, just stay here. It won't be long anyway." Gu Xihe said to Lin Hao.
"En." Lin Hao agreed, hastily signed a contract as crumpled as toilet paper, and the two moved here the next day.
"Actually, it's not that sad." Gu Xihe looked at the small house that had been thoroughly tidied up. It was old, but no matter how you looked at it, it was clean and warm.
"It's just a bit cold," Lin Hao looked at the shabby windows, "It's going to be winter soon, there's no air conditioner, and it's still facing north—"
"It's okay, let's sleep with our arms around each other." Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao, smiled and kissed him.
"I hope my dad's account can be settled safely." Lin Hao sighed: "I didn't expect to be put on the list. If I knew I didn't care about the interest, I would transfer it to my own card earlier—"
"Don't worry too much about this. You can leave your father's money to Xinxin. We will have part-time jobs during the winter vacation. I don't believe that two big men can support me!" Gu Xihe said firmly: "My mother It’s so childish to think that you can crush us with this little trick!”
The days that followed were uneventful, probably because Tang Jialan had wishful thinking, thinking that the two of them would always come back and beg themselves because they were desperate because of their lack of money.
Except for the poor housing conditions, the lives of the two have not changed much.I just found a part-time job as a porter at the convenience store in front of the door, and I did it for two hours after school. Although the money was not much, it was enough for two people to eat for a day.
"Brother..." Ding Xin's voice choked on the other end of the phone.Lin Hao's heart twisted: Damn it, since Tang Jialan can find usury to harass her, how could she let Ding Xin go!
"Xinxin, what happened! Don't cry!" It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Lin Hao and Gu Xihe finished their part-time jobs and were reviewing their homework in the room.Ding Xin's phone call disrupted the peaceful rhythm of the day.
"Mom, she...she..."
Lin Hao sighed softly, thinking: Ding Pei must have passed away.
"Xinxin, be strong." Lin Hao didn't know how to comfort her, because the person who just closed her eyes belonged to her own mother: "Your mother has also suffered a lot these years, you should think so - she is a relief That's right. She is very relieved that you have come out so well."
"Brother, the nurse at the hospital said that my mother committed suicide." Ding Xin's breathing choked.
"Suicide?!" Lin Hao shook his hand and almost dropped the phone.
"My mother left me a suicide note, and then strangled herself by the bedside with an infusion tube." Ding Xin was sobbing.
"Where are you? I'll go there right away." Lin Hao jumped up and put on his clothes.
"Lin Hao—I'll go with you!" Gu Xihe also got up, and the winter night was getting colder, so the two hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital where Ding Pei died.
"Brother!" The tear-stained girl rushed over as soon as she saw Lin Hao.
"Xinxin, be good—come and sit down." Lin Hao held her hand in distress: "You wear so little in such a cold day. Your little hands are freezing."
"Brother, mom said she didn't want to drag me down...she left me a letter." Ding Xin's tears hung on his red nose, which was truly heartbreaking.
"The nurse said that two strangers came to see my mother the day before she committed suicide, and she was in a bad mood after that. I was preparing for the final exam, so I didn't see her every day... As a result, at night... the nurse called me and said that my mother gone."
"Two strangers..." Gu Xihe closed his eyes and leaned against the wall: "What did they say?"
"You are..." Ding Xin looked at Gu Xihe in surprise.
"He is my brother's good friend, and you will call him brother from now on." Lin Hao said to the girl, "Do you know what those two strangers said?"
"I don't know," Ding Xin shook her head: "The nurse told me later that the two strangers didn't stay long, and they talked for 10 minutes. After leaving, my mother cried and asked the nurse for paper and pens. She said He didn't think much about it at the time, he never expected that his mother would write a suicide note."
"Those two strangers, did you ask what they looked like?" Lin looked at Gu Xihe and asked the girl.
"The nurse said that one is an old man in his sixties, and the other stands behind him like a bodyguard, wearing a suit and sunglasses. He looks like a person of status, and he is very well dressed."
"Does the old man have pockmarks on his face?" Gu Xihe basically already had the answer in his heart.
"Yes, the nurse mentioned it." Ding Xin nodded repeatedly.
Gu Xihe was about to go out, but Lin Hao grabbed him: "Xihe!"
"I want to see if she's not finished!" Gu Xihe lost all reason, and roared, "Gu Pingzhao was asked to come forward in person, threatening to humiliate orphans and widows! I really regret being born to such a mother!" come out!"
"Xihe!" Lin Hao hugged him and said in a low voice, "Forget it...my mother made her own decision."
"Brother," Ding Xin pulled Lin Hao's sleeve, and handed over a snow-white envelope: "This thing is from my mother. It's so strange, she has never seen you. Maybe it's because I often say something wrong." A good brother who took good care of me - she just wanted to thank you at the end..."
Lin Hao turned around and took the envelope from the girl's hand.There is a line of crooked fonts on it - Lin Hao's personal letter.
"She still specifically stated in the letter to me that I should hand it over to you, and I'm not allowed to peek at it." Ding Xin said.
With trembling hands, Lin Hao opened the letter left by Ding Pei:
Lin Hao:
You must be surprised and resentful when you read my letter.If I have to be called the worst mother in the world, I must be well-deserved.
In fact, from the first time Xinxin told me that I met a warm-hearted big brother online and often supported her, I subconsciously suspected that that person was you.
Back then, it was my selfishness and laissez-faire that made an irreparable mistake, which deeply hurt your father and the young you.Here, I am not qualified to ask for your forgiveness, but I sincerely wish you all the best.
My whole life has been full of sins and filth. The only consolation is that Xinxin has grown into an excellent girl, smart, sensible, warm and kind.
I thank God for not letting my daughter be infected with my fault, so I pray with a guilty heart that you can give her shelter.
You are her only relative in this world. Ever since you secretly helped us, I knew that you were a kind and affectionate child, just like your father.I am willing to degenerate and do not know how to cherish, and I do not expect your forgiveness. I only hope that you can be happy, healthy and happy forever.
Incompetent mother, Ding Pei's last pen.
Lin Hao opened the envelope, and an old family photo slipped out. At that time, his father was still young and his mother was also very beautiful.The boy standing on the ground is about four or five years old, and the girl in the mother's arms doesn't seem to be able to walk yet.
Who would have thought that living the warmth in the photos would have such a helpless story behind it.Right and wrong, kindness and resentment, are nothing more than bones and ashes.
Maybe father and mother are not suitable for marriage, but the offspring of the most wrong combination have the right to live well.
"Lin Hao." On the way back, Lin Hao bowed his head without saying a word, and walked in a hurry.With little money in their pockets, they can only walk a few kilometers home.
Gu Xihe closely followed his steps, and it took a long time before he could say a word.
"Xihe, it's not your fault." Lin Hao stopped and waited for him.
"Lin Hao," Gu Xihe walked around to the man, wrapped his trembling body with his coat, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry."
"What's wrong with me..." Lin Hao smiled wryly and shook his head: "I didn't cry when Dad left."
"Lin Hao, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault that I said it." Lin Hao raised his eyes, and touched Gu Xihe's face with cold fingers: "Actually, I was thinking, no matter how much your mother makes you hate, she is still your mother. You two can still quarrel." You can still hate each other, and you can still care about each other. But I——I am already an orphan. I haven’t even seen my mother’s last side.”
Gu Xihe hugged Lin Hao and held him tightly in the cold wind: "Lin Hao, cry out. You will feel better."
Maybe it was walking in the cold wind for a long time the day before, maybe it was the cleanliness Gu Xihe who insisted on taking a bath in such a cold day, maybe it was nothing, but accidentally got infected by a passerby's sneeze.
Gu Xihe started to have a cold and fever from the next day.
The young man's physique is still good, so the two of them didn't care about it at first, and only took some conventional cold medicine.But Gu Xihe insisted on refusing to miss work after class, and moved the goods for another two days.As a result, when I got home on the third night, I fell down and couldn't wake up.
Lin Hao panicked and rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and was immediately hospitalized.
Gu Xihe has a medical insurance card, and Tang Jialan is not so mad that he even stopped this for his son.
But just after completing the hospitalization procedures, the doctor came to see Lin Hao.
"Your brother's problem is serious, but it's not serious. Pneumonia in adults is not as easy to get the root cause of the disease as children. But it will take a long time to recover. I see your age. You are going to take the college entrance examination soon, right?"
"En." Lin Hao nodded, waiting for the doctor's next words.
"That's why I suggest whether you should switch to imported drugs. The curative effect is fast and the side effects are small. Basically, you can leave the hospital in ten days. But the price-it must be a bit more expensive. If your financial conditions permit, I still suggest you use this. "
"That's good! As long as it's good for him, I don't care about the price." Lin Hao said quickly.
"That's good," the doctor nodded: "One bottle costs 8000 yuan. In his case, one course of treatment is basically enough. It's about [-] yuan."
"En, yes!" Lin Hao nodded, he knew that Gu Xihe's illnesses in the past were always seen by the family doctor, and this regular medical insurance card is not usually used, so there should be a lot of balance left.
"But this medicine is not covered by the medical insurance program. If you need to pay for it separately, let me explain to you first." The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Go and pay the bill when you're ready, and change the medicine when the fever subsides today."
Cash payment... Lin Hao stood in the middle of the hospital corridor in a daze.
A few days ago, Yue Jiucheng forced himself 5000 yuan, but he didn't dare to let Gu Xihe know about it.But even with this amount of money, there is still a long way to go, where to plan.
The self-esteem of himself and Gu Xihe could not allow them to reach out to their friends, Lin Hao slowly walked out of the inpatient department, and caught a glimpse of the blood station sign of the subordinate health institution.
He bit his lower lip, turned around and walked over there.
A week later, Gu Xihe's spirit was much better.After the fever subsides, people are much more relaxed.Lin Hao went to class during the day and came to the hospital at night, even though he was ill, Gu Xihe refused to miss his studies.
Lin Hao peeled an apple for him and put it to his mouth with a toothpick.
"This apple is very sweet, so the price is not cheap." Gu Xihe took a bite.
"It's winter, and the price of fruits has increased. I just bought two." Lin Hao put away his textbooks: "Let's take a break, I'm very stressed when you study so hard. I couldn't solve the problem last time." It really embarrasses me to be conquered by you when I came out."
"Hey, I said earlier that I am very capable, but I don't just want to overwhelm you in 'that'." Gu Xihe shook Lin Hao's hand: "When I recover from illness, we will be together in the next few days." Back to you."
"Be serious, there are other people in this ward." Of course, the ward stuck with medical insurance will not be a very comfortable single room. There is an old man in the next bed, and there are two middle-aged men on the opposite side.
They are also kind, and often share some food and drink with the two of them, and they also repeatedly praised that in this modern society where family affection is indifferent, it is rare to have brothers with such a good relationship.
"You should eat some too." Gu Xihe pushed the apple to Lin Hao: "Your complexion is not very good recently, you should also pay attention to supplement your body with nutrition. Do you only eat instant noodles at noon when I'm not at home?"
But Gu Xihe didn't know that Lin Hao only left him eight yuan for food every day, and he couldn't even afford instant noodles.
"I'm fine, I'm much stronger than you." Lin Hao pressed down his hand: "You need to eat more nutritious food to take care of your body now. Let me buy a chicken tomorrow. I will stew it for you in a small restaurant." -"
"Buy a chicken?" Gu Xihe smirked: "I think it's because you want to eat chicken - let's go..."
"You! Vulgar!" Lin Hao pushed him back on the bed, and walked out with the garbage: "You lie down for a while, I'll go out for a while."
The two of them didn't go to part-time jobs for the past few days, so the cost of living naturally began to bottom out.Lin Hao didn't care about himself, but he couldn't let Gu Xihe go hungry.He gritted his teeth and walked to the blood station again.
"Why are you here again? It's been sold twice a week, and the one who smokes for you is not a nurse, but a butcher!" The nurse drove Lin Hao out as soon as he saw him.
"Nurse, nurse, I'm really fine! Look, I'm very strong—" Lin Hao begged bitterly.
"Don't do this! I don't care what urgent matters you have. We doctors are parents, and we can't see people trading their lives for money no matter what - get out!" The little nurse said angrily.
If this one doesn't work, just change to another one. There is not only one blood station in the whole city.Lin Hao went out, thinking helplessly.
It took an hour to return by bus from another district, and it was already dark when we arrived at the hospital.
On the bus just now, it was the first time that the tired Lin Hao didn't get up and give up his seat to the old man, which caused a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm.He could only close his eyes and not speak, and got out of the car amidst people's accusations.
"Lin Hao, long time no see." A sports car stopped in front of Lin Hao, and Song Ting's half-smile face appeared on the lowered window pane.
"Master Song?" Lin Hao was startled.
"Why, that pampered young master couldn't hold on so soon?" Song Ting got out of the car and looked at the man in front of him provocatively.
"How do you know he's sick?"
"Nonsense, his medical insurance has been using money. Don't forget that my uncle is the director of the National Commercial Insurance Fund Group."
"You've been staring at Xihe?" Lin Hao frowned.
"I've been an opponent for so many years, so I can't even care about it?" Song Ting pressed one hand on the car door, looked Lin Hao up and down: "What's wrong, you
