Lin Nianhe said before that he wanted to give Zhou Fenyang a future.
Zhou Fenyang didn't take these words seriously at all, he turned around and forgot about them.
Now, holding the letter of introduction, she stood at the door of the health center and looked at Lin Nianhe, who was vividly telling the story of her donation that day in front of the bulletin board, with complicated emotions.
She really wrote a thank you letter to herself and worked so hard to help herself...she...
Thinking about his attitude towards her that day and the previous conflicts between the two of them, Zhou Fenyang felt that he should apologize to Lin Nianhe.
"...That's five yuan. How can I be embarrassed to ask for it? I just keep refusing and keep refusing..."
Zhou Fenyang: "..."
Apologize? forget it.
Zhou Fenyang held the letter of introduction and walked towards Lin Nianhe.
"Lin Nianhe, come with me." Zhou Fenyang's tone was a little awkward. He wanted to be gentle, but he couldn't lose face.
Lin Nianhe's passionate speech was interrupted by her. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, I was just going to thank Dr. Zhou in person."
Zhou Fenyang dragged Lin Nianhe to the soda stall west of the health center. She bought a bottle of orange soda and handed it to Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe took it, took a big sip, and burped.
Zhou Fenyang looked at her, pursed his lips and said, "Our leader recommended that I go to the provincial capital to study. Well, thank you."
Lin Nianhe held the soda bottle and smiled at her awkward look: "How about a bottle of soda?"
"Then... I have no money this month, and I won't pay you for studying. When I get back... I'll give it to my brother to get some money and treat you to dinner."
Zhou Fenyang originally wanted to say that he would wait until she came back to work and then pay her salary and treat her to dinner.
But then I thought about it, it was a bit too long, and I felt bad spending my own money.
It's better to cheat your brother faster.
Lin Nianhe smiled and shook his head: "I'm joking with you. If you go to the provincial capital to study, don't come back unless you come back. This matter is good or bad, you know?"
Zhou Fenyang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"well……"
Lin Nianhe sighed softly, put his arm on her shoulders and took her to the tree on the roadside, and then said: "For the sake of soda, I'll tell you this - fortunately, this matter can make you happy." Having an opportunity to learn will also be good for your future work, but the problem is what if someone always asks you for money for medical treatment in the future? Will you give it? How much can you give? How many people can you help? "
Zhou Fenyang had never thought about this originally, but now that Lin Nianhe revealed it, she frowned with a headache.
"So why are you doing this?"
"Give you a chance to move up," Lin Nianhe patted her shoulder, "Of course, in fact, it won't matter if you come back after studying. As time goes by, everyone will forget. Good things are always good. It will soon be forgotten.”
Zhou Fenyang glanced at the thank you letter in her hand, and after a moment she still smiled: "Anyway, thank you, Lin Nianhe."
"You're welcome, Doctor Zhou."
Lin Nianhe smiled and drank the remaining soda in the bottle, and then asked her: "Hey, don't you drink it?"
Zhou Fenyang couldn't stand it at that time: "I gave you all my money! I finally saved the bottle you drank!"
She originally thought that she would buy a bottle to satisfy her cravings in the future.
Lin Nianhe: "Oh, you are a little poorer than I thought."
Zhou Fenyang: "..."
"Study hard and make progress every day, Doctor Zhou."
"..."
"Did you really drink it all? Didn't you leave a mouthful for her?"
In the corridor of the health center, Wang Shumei looked at Lin Nianhe in disbelief.
Lin Nianhe supported Wang Shumei's arm and moved forward, nodding as he moved: "Yes, I helped her, and she thanked me. Isn't that what she should be doing. If you don't give a little sweetness to a good person, who will be a good person in the future."
Wang Shumei clicked her tongue and said, "Don't say it, this is really the truth."
"of course."
They entered the ward laughing and talking.
In the ward, Shen Cailan was wiping her mother's body.
Seeing Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei, Shen Cailan immediately put down her towel and stood up: "Teacher Lin, Teacher Wang."
Cailan Niang also sat up, pulled Shen Cailan and asked, "Cailan, hurry up, get a stool for the teacher."
She had met Lin Nianhe before and recognized her. This was the first time for Wang Shumei, but she still smiled as much as possible to make it look like she didn't need comfort.
Wang Shumei put down the can of yellow peach she was holding and asked, "Cailan, how is your mother's injury?"
Shen Cailan turned around subconsciously and said in the direction of her mother: "Doctor Zhou said that my mother's injury is much better and she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
The little girl spoke much slower than before, and it sounded like a drawl.
Before they could ask, Cailan Niang said: "Now that I'm watching Cailan speak, I can guess a little bit of what she's talking about. Teacher, look, it's not a big deal if you can't hear her. It's nothing."
She smiled, smiling very hard.
But Lin Nianhe could clearly see the red bloodshot eyes and her rapidly thinning cheeks.
Obviously, her cheerfulness was for others to see, and no one suffered more than her.
Lin Nianhe raised a smile, took Cailan Niang's hand and nodded: "Yes, you are right."
She also deliberately slowed down her speaking speed so that Cailan Niang could "hear" more clearly.
"Teacher, Cailan told me that there is a device like that. If you put it on, you can hear it, right?" Cailan asked, looking at Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe nodded: "Yes, don't worry, this thing is not difficult to buy. After a while, you will be able to hear it again."
The sentence was a bit long and Cailan Niang didn’t understand it all.
But she didn't care what Lin Nianhe said. She grabbed her hand and said, "Teacher, thank you for helping our family, but don't buy that thing. Look, what can I do if you can't hear it?" Oh, why don't you delay anything?"
Lin Nianhe was startled, looked back at Shen Cailan, and asked her what was going on with his eyes.
Shen Cailan pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were red, but she held back the tears.
Seeing her like this, what else does Lin Nianhe not understand?
In my ears, Cailan Niang kept talking, saying that she was fine, saying that she didn't care and couldn't hear, saying...
She said a lot, but Lin Nianhe only got one meaning - it was too expensive and he didn't want to spend the money.
Seeing how hard she tried to prove herself, Lin Nianhe licked his lips and did not reason with her or persuade her. He just nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I understand, I won't buy it for you."
She repeated this sentence slowly several times.
Cailan Niang suddenly became happy: "Yes, yes, don't buy it, don't buy it. I'm this age and I haven't heard of anything..."
As she spoke, the smile gradually froze at the corner of her mouth.
She had yet to hear the pitch of children's voices when they grew up.
She had never heard her youngest son speak a complete sentence.
She has never heard her grandchildren call her grandma.
She didn't know if her future son-in-law and daughter-in-law would dislike her as an old deaf woman...
The future was too far away for her to touch.
She only knows that at this moment, now, she can no longer burden this family.
