Chapter 221 Snowfield
Zhou Xiaochuan was too scared to say a word after being scolded. He thought it over and realized that he hadn't said anything wrong.
He dared to yell and shout in front of Fang Hua, but he didn't dare to act wildly in front of Zhou Chengzhi and Zhou Xiye.
A short while later, Zhou Chengzhi returned to the ward with a solemn expression. Looking at Zhou Xiaochuan, he thought for a moment and then spoke: "Xiaochuan, I just discussed it with the doctor. To prevent the spread of the toxin, amputation may be an option..."
Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes widened in horror, and he immediately shook his head: "No, no, Dad, you can't amputate! If I don't have arms, am I still a person? How will I live in the future?"
Zhou Chengzhi frowned: "How can you not be human? Is your life more important or your arm? If you can't control this and can't find a good solution, are you just going to wait to die?"
Zhou Xiaochuan panicked and spoke incoherently, his voice trembling: "No, no, Dad, I don't want to, there must be a way, Dad, I beg you! I don't want to have my leg amputated."
Zhou Chengzhi's expression was serious: "Do you want to live?"
Zhou Xiaochuan nodded quickly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Yes, Dad, as long as I don't have to have my leg amputated, I'll do anything."
Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "Okay, I will find a way to cure you, but after you are cured, you will go to the new province for a few years of training. Do you have any objections?"
Zhou Xiaochuan was only concerned with not having to amputate his leg; he would do anything, even if it meant going to the ends of the earth, let alone Xinjiang: "Dad, I have no objection. I'll go wherever you want me to go."
Zhou Chengzhi said with satisfaction: "Xiao Chuan, you promised me this, so don't go back on your word."
Zhou Xiaochuan no longer cared: "Dad, as long as I don't have to have my leg amputated and I can survive, I'll go."
Zhou Chengzhi patted his shoulder: "You should rest first. Your brother and I are going out to talk for a bit."
Zhou Xiaochuan stared at his father and brother as they left, unable to rest properly. He held up his two ugly, swollen hands and looked at them again and again, unable to understand why he had contracted this disease.
My brother just mentioned file folder, could it be a file folder?
How could that be?
...
Zhou Chengzhi led Zhou Xiye to the end of the corridor before stopping. Looking out the window at the snowflakes swirling in the wind, he sighed, "Although I was just trying to scare Xiaochuan, it was also a way to give him a heads-up. If he recovers, he'll be willing to go to Xinjiang. If there's no other way, we'll have to amputate his limb to save his life."
Zhou Xiye asked, "Isn't there a treatment option available now?"
Zhou Chengzhi shook his head: "What the two doctors meant was that this is a case of poisoning, but they don't know the specific toxin, so it's difficult to prescribe medicine. They will come up with a solution as soon as possible, and they will also consult their teacher."
“I’ve been staying home lately, so I’m keeping an eye on Xiaochuan. You go ahead with your work, but don’t let it interfere with your studies. I heard you’re planning to stay in Beijing for university? That’s great. Try to stay in Beijing directly; there are so many jobs there…”
Zhou Xiye interrupted him directly: "Dad, I have my own plans."
Zhou Chengzhi was about to get angry, but then remembered that this was a hospital, so he lowered his voice and said, "What are your own plans? You're already thirty. Do you want to stay in the Northwest for the rest of your life? There are greater opportunities for development if you stay in Beijing."
"Alright, I don't want to waste my breath on you. Don't give me any lectures, just go back now!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, telling Zhou Xiye to leave quickly so as not to get in his way.
He felt that Zhou Xiye's abilities were suited for a better environment, and of course, he also felt sorry for his son, wishing him a bright future.
But the things he says are things nobody wants to hear!
Zhou Xiye was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out. He stood at the entrance of the inpatient department for a while before Jiang Zhizhi ran back excitedly.
Brushing the snow off her head, she ran to Zhou Xiye's side: "Shall we go home?"
Zhou Xiye reached out and brushed the snowflakes off her clothes: "Is the toilet outside the hospital?"
Jiang Zhizhi gathered the snowflakes on her shoulders into a ball, tiptoed, and stuffed it into Zhou Xiye's neck: "Don't be so serious. I went to take care of some important business. Xiao Liu didn't go home; instead, he went to Liulichang."
“There’s an abandoned house over there. A lot of people sneak over there; they don’t look like respectable people.”
"I saw that there was nowhere to hide near the house and that I would be easily discovered, so I quickly came back."
Jiang Zhizhi leaned closer, trying to ingratiate herself: "I was really careful."
Zhou Xiye said helplessly, "Let's go home first."
The snow was already heavy, and the snow on the road was very thick, making it difficult to ride a bike.
Zhou Xiye pushed the cart, with Jiang Zhizhi following beside him, as they walked home through the wind and snow.
As Jiang Zhizhi brushed the snow off her lips, she said, "I think there's something wrong with this Wang Xiaoliu. I'll have to keep an eye on him. Zhou Xiaochuan might end up being sold out and still have to help count the money."
When you open your mouth to speak, the wind carrying snowflakes gets into your mouth, cool and refreshing, which is kind of fun.
I couldn't resist tilting my head back and sticking out my tongue to catch the snowflakes.
Seeing her childish actions, Zhou Xiye reached out and patted her head: "You drank cold air, be careful not to get a stomachache."
Jiang Zhizhi pursed her lips, smiled, ran to the roadside, grabbed a handful of snow from a tree branch, made a ball, and threw it at Zhou Xiye.
He clearly aimed, but Zhou Xiye still managed to dodge it by pushing his bicycle!
Jiang Zhizhi was very dissatisfied, so she bought another snowball and threw it at Zhou Xiye. Once again, Zhou Xiye dodged it, and the snowball landed on the bicycle seat.
!!
Jiang Zhizhi refused to believe it and threw again, but still missed!
The two were joking around when they got close to the courtyard. There was an open area next to them where the crops had already been harvested and were now covered by heavy snow.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhizhi had a wicked idea and pounced on Zhou Xiye from behind.
She wanted to launch a sneak attack on Zhou Xiye from behind, but Zhou Xiye seemed to have anticipated it. He picked up the handlebars with one hand, turned the bike around, and grabbed Jiang Zhizhi's arm with the other, pulling her into his arms and quickly wrapping his arms around her waist.
Jiang Zhizhi raised her arm to elbow Zhou Xiye in the chest, but he stepped back and scooped her up with one hand, throwing her onto the snow next to him.
Jiang Zhizhi lay in the snowdrift, not in pain, but she never expected that she couldn't even hit Zhou Xiye with one hand!
I simply lay down in the snowdrift and didn't move!
Zhou Xiye held back, only wanting to teach Jiang Zhizhi a lesson: there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people!
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was not moving, and worried that she might have bumped into something, he quickly stopped his bicycle and went over to her.
"Know-know? Know-know?"
Jiang Zhizhi remained lying down, her face buried in the snow.
Zhou Xiye panicked instantly, squatted down, and reached out to grab Jiang Zhizhi's shoulder, preparing to pull her up.
As a result, Jiang Zhizhi jumped up and tackled Zhou Xiye into the snowdrift, pinning him down on top of him: "Haha, that's called all's fair in war!"
