After Christmas, the college entrance examination results are released.
With the top score, he failed as expected, which made the whole family unhappy, and the whole house was filled with low pressure.
However, because Zhengfeng was going to have surgery in two days to replace the battery in the pacemaker, Ms. Leopard and President Jin did not blame him too much.
Fortunately, I didn't do well in the early majors, and I still have the later majors, so I haven't lost all hope.
…
In the evening, everyone gathered at Cui Ze's house to watch the video together.
"Brother Zhengfeng's surgery, will everything be okay?" Cui Ze asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "It's okay. It's just a minor operation, just replacing the battery of the pacemaker."
He had studied basic medicine and knew that this operation was not too difficult. However, there is always a certain risk in any surgery, so everyone is more worried.
In order to avoid trouble, the doctor will not do everything. Instead, he will issue a series of warnings in advance, so it seems to be very serious.
"That's good," Cui Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "but my aunt must be worried too."
"It's all like this." Xiang Nan nodded, "Although she pretends not to be worried on the surface, I know she must be worried."
Ms. Leopard also invited a cosmetics salesman to do some beauty and skin care for her today, and she looked very contented. But Xiang Nan knew that she was just pretending to be strong and holding herself together.
Otherwise, she would be so frightened that she would tremble and panic, and her son would be even more frightened. At that time, it will only increase the troubles.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
…
"By the way, you haven't forgotten, we are going to watch a movie tomorrow." Donglong suddenly mentioned.
Everyone nodded together.
Cui Ze hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"I see that you only remember the things you want to remember." Donglong was not fooled by him, and immediately curled his lips and complained, "But we must go, the five of us haven't acted together for a long time."
In recent months, the five of them have spent significantly less time together.
Xiang Nan and Deshan were busy tutoring at home, Shanyu was busy going to the reading room to study, and Cui Ze was busy going to competitions everywhere, leaving him alone, unable to put himself down anywhere.
Therefore, as the strategist of the five-member team, he wanted to gather everyone together to watch a movie together, and it was the action blockbuster "The Flying Dragon" starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao.
"But I have a game tomorrow." Cui Ze said worriedly.
"That's why I chose to watch it at night." Shanyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will be waiting at the chess court then, and we will just pick you up on the way."
"What, are you afraid that I can't find the place?" Cui Ze asked immediately after hearing this.
"Well, you can't find it." Everyone said in unison, leaving Cui Ze speechless.
Later, Xiang Nan cooked noodles for everyone.
Because he can cook instant noodles better than anyone else, it has become an irreplaceable delicacy at gatherings with friends.
…
In the evening, the family began to prepare for Zhengfeng's admission to the hospital.
He will be admitted to the hospital tomorrow to prepare for surgery, and he will have surgery the next day.
Zhengfeng was very worried about the surgery and was so scared that he couldn't sleep. He packed his old collection, such as stamps, movie posters, college music festival records, etc., into a big box and moved it to Xiang Nan's house.
"Brother, these are my treasures, and I will leave them with you now. If I... you can keep them for me." Zheng Feng said with a worried look on his face.
"Brother, don't worry so much. This is just a minor operation, not that dangerous." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted him, "The probability of something happening is less than 3%."
"I've also checked, and the probability of suffering from heart disease is less than 2%." Zhengfeng said worriedly. Besides, he has a lucky constitution, and he has won the one-in-a-million grand prize. What is impossible to happen?
"Brother, you really don't have to worry too much." Xiang Nan advised, "If you are really scared, let's sleep together tonight."
Upon hearing this, Zhengfeng nodded happily.
He was indeed scared to sleep alone. It would be best if you have your younger brother with you.
…
Suddenly, President Jin and Ms. Baozi sent Jin Zhengfeng to the hospital.
"Zhenghuan, the hospital doesn't have that many beds, so you don't have to go there today. Just wait until you have the operation tomorrow." Ms. Baozi said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded, and then told Zheng Feng, "Brother, don't worry, it's just a minor surgery. Don't put too much burden on yourself, I will visit you tomorrow."
Zhengfeng nodded.
In the afternoon, after school, Xiang Nan, Donglong and Shanyu made an appointment with Deshan to go to the chess academy to pick up Cui Ze.
When he was about to arrive at Qiyuan, he passed by a food cart selling fish cakes. Donglong immediately cheered, pulled Shanyu and Xiang Nan to sit down, "Wow, fish cakes, I haven't eaten them in a long time."
"You guys eat first, I'll accompany Deshan to pick up Aze." Xiang Nan picked up a few skewers of fish cakes and said.
"Wow, don't you want to separate for a moment?" Donglong couldn't help but joked when he saw this.
Xiang Nan ignored her and came to the chess court with Deshan eating fish cakes.
"My parents have gone crazy recently and started talking to each other with honorifics," Deshan said to Xiang Nan.
"Why?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"My father went shopping again. The money at home was not enough. Two days ago, my mother even suspected that I had stolen her money. My mother was naturally angry, so the two had a fight." Deshan Explained, "Mom gave Dad a black eye. Later, they said it was bad to always quarrel, so they changed to using honorifics to each other, so that there would be no more quarrels."
"But wouldn't that be more awkward?" Xiang Nan laughed.
It is actually normal for couples to quarrel, and quarreling is actually an effective way to resolve grievances. Respecting each other as guests and raising eyebrows together may seem harmonious, but in fact, conflicts are suppressed. Just like a volcano, sooner or later it will erupt and cause greater damage.
"That's right." Deshan nodded. She also felt very awkward, but her parents insisted on it, so what could she do.
"By the way, my parents and brother are not at home tonight, so come to my house and watch the video." Xiang Nan looked at Deshan and said, "I borrowed the movie you want to watch."
Deshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
…
After the two arrived at the chess court, they did not rush up to find Cui Ze.
After all, he might still be playing, and it would be too rash to rush up.
The two of them were downstairs, eating fish cakes and waiting.
"Zhenghuan, I heard that another bookseller came to your door yesterday?" Deshan asked curiously.
Xiang Nan nodded.
The new issue of "Literary Monthly" has been published, and the serialization of "Blue Life and Death Love" has become more and more popular, making booksellers flock to Xiang Nan, and the prices they offer are higher than the last.
