"Your birthday is not a state secret. You just need to inquire carefully and you will know." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Come on, blow out the candles first."
Li Qingtong nodded, clasped his hands together, made a sincere wish, and then blew out the eighteen candles together.
"Li Qingtong, what wish did you make?" Li Jinjin asked curiously.
"I won't tell you." Li Qingtong smiled mysteriously.
"You didn't even tell me?! Li Qingtong, I've ruined you." Li Jinjin scolded.
"Here, this is our gift to you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Open it and take a look."
With that said, everyone took out the gifts together. I saw that it was packed in a big box, and it looked very impressive.
When Li Qingtong saw it, he couldn't help but feel excited.
For such a big box, the gifts inside must be very valuable.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Li Qingtong opened the box curiously and was stunned.
But there are five sets of exercises inside, covering the four major categories of mathematics, Chinese, English, and comprehensive arts.
"What, I don't want it~" Li Qingtong said on the verge of tears.
She thought they were dolls or ornaments, but she didn't expect that the boxes were all test papers.
"Take it, we have carefully prepared this for you. After you finish these papers, I guarantee that your grades will be improved to the next level." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Yes, Li Qingtong, take it." Li Jinjin said with a smile.
Li Qingtong had no choice but to accept the test questions.
"Okay, okay, everyone, let's eat the cake." Xiang Nan said with a smile, and then cut the cake with a knife.
Li Qingtong took a bite of the cake and smiled happily.
The cake is covered with cream, and when you take a bite, it is full of rich aroma and tastes really great.
…
In the afternoon, the news that Xiang Nan and others celebrated Li Qingtong's birthday in the cafeteria had spread throughout the entire No. 3 Middle School, making the students extremely envious after hearing it.
After all, not everyone has so many friends and is willing to spend so much time celebrating someone's birthday.
However, the birthday girl Li Qingtong didn't feel very good. Since noon, her stomach began to hurt. She originally thought she was overeating, so she went to the toilet twice specifically for this purpose, but it turned out that it didn't help at all, and the pain became more and more painful.
Finally, during the second period, Li Qingtong couldn't hold on anymore. His face turned pale from the pain, his whole body was shaking, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Li Qingtong, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Nan noticed something strange and quickly asked with concern.
"I...I have a stomachache." Li Qingtong groaned, and his lips began to turn purple.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan quickly felt her pulse and recognized that she had intestinal carbuncle, which is also commonly known as appendicitis.
"Teacher, Li Qingtong is sick. I want to send her to the hospital." He immediately applied to the teacher.
Seeing Li Qingtong's appearance, the teacher felt that she was not pretending to be sick and nodded immediately.
Xiang Nan immediately picked her up and rushed downstairs. The speed was so fast that it was like a gust of wind, which shocked the classmates.
"Hold on, don't be afraid, it's okay." Xiang Nan comforted him as he ran.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Li Qingtong nodded.
Although she had severe stomach pain at the moment, she was really not afraid at all with Xiang Nan by her side. Instead, she felt very happy.
Xiang Nan rushed all the way and sent her to the emergency room of the county hospital.
After examination, it was confirmed that it was acute appendicitis, and surgery was necessary to remove it.
Xiang Nan quickly paid the surgery fee, and then Li Qingtong was pushed into the operating room.
During this period, Xiang Nan called the school and Li Qingtong's family one after another and told them about Li Qingtong's situation.
Soon, the head teacher, Teacher Wu, arrived.
…
"Wu Zhixun, how are you?" Teacher Wu asked with concern.
"Li Qingtong has entered the operating room and will be out in a while." Xiang Nan explained, "It's okay, teacher, don't worry, appendicitis surgery is a minor operation, and you'll be fine."
"Oh." Teacher Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Teacher Wu, what's going on?" Li Qingtong's parents, Li Wusi and Liu Fengxia, also arrived.
After seeing Teacher Wu, he quickly asked with concern.
Xiang Nan introduced the situation again, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, it's just appendicitis, just a minor surgery."
"That's good, that's good." When Liu Fengxia heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to her husband, "The child's father, hurry up and pay the surgery fee."
"Auntie, don't worry about it yet, I've already paid the surgery fee." Xiang Nan said again.
"Really?! Thank you so much, classmate." Liu Fengxia was very touched, "What's your name, classmate?"
"My name is Wu Zhixun." Xiang Nan introduced himself.
"Are you Wu Zhixun?" Li Wusi and Liu Fengxia were both stunned, and then they couldn't help but hold his hand, "Classmate Wu, thank you so much.
Our Li Qingtong's grades have become so good, thanks to your guidance. Ten thousand words of thank you from both of us are not enough. "
"You're welcome, uncles, aunts, and classmates help each other." Xiang Nan smiled, "I want to apologize to you again for what happened to my dad last time.
My father has a rather extreme personality and his words are a bit unpleasant. Don’t be the same as him. "
"No, no." Liu Fengxia waved her hands quickly, and then asked Xiang Nan, "Son, how much did you pay for the surgery? Auntie, please give the money back to you."
"Don't be in a hurry, Auntie." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We'll take our time after Li Qingtong is discharged from the hospital."
He knew that Li Qingtong's father, Li Wusi, had been laid off for almost a year. During this year, he relied on doing odd jobs to make money. His income has dropped significantly, and his family has almost no money left.
In this case, the surgical cost of more than two thousand yuan was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back.
In comparison, this money is nothing to Xiang Nan. After all, he has earned more than 200,000 yuan by writing books in the past year or so.
A mere two thousand yuan was nothing to him.
"Then why are you so embarrassed~" Liu Fengxia and Li Wusi became even more moved when they saw Xiang Nan say this.
…
Fifteen minutes later, the operation was completed and Li Qingtong was returned to the ward.
After a while, she came to.
"Dad, Mom, Teacher Wu, why are you all here?" Li Qingtong opened his eyes and said in surprise when he saw Li Wusi, Liu Fengxia and Wu Dibao.
"It's such a big thing for you to undergo surgery, of course your parents will get it." Li Wusi said, "How is it, daughter, does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Li Qingtong grinned.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Xiang Nan asked.
"I want to eat canned yellow peaches." Li Qingtong said directly.
"Not now. We have just finished the operation. We can't eat raw or cold food. We have to rest for at least two days." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Don't forget, a section of your intestines has just been crushed."
"Oh, okay." Li Qingtong nodded shyly immediately.
Seeing this, Li Wusi, Liu Fengxia, and Wu Dibao all felt a little bad.
