Chapter 36 But this time, after turning the corner, Chen Pan...
"Mom, are you okay? Stand still here. I'll go downstairs and hire a car!"
Qin Yang's teeth itched with hatred when he thought of the taxi that had taken them to the town entrance and refused to go in. He didn't care about the woman who had almost hit them. He just pulled his mother to the side of the road and wanted to turn back to the town entrance to find a taxi or a motorcycle taxi.
"Don't go. It's the factory's lunch break now. There are many people setting up stalls outside to do business and people coming out to eat. It may take them most of the day to go in and out. No one wants to go in at this time. Even if you pay more, they won't think it's worth it. It's okay. It's only a few hundred meters anyway. Let's walk in slowly." Qin Guihua grabbed her son who was about to go down and said in a very low voice.
Today she was still wearing the same red coat she had worn before. This coat was actually very suitable for her to wear for half a month, but now Longcheng has become very hot in just half a month, and no one wears it like this on the street anymore.
In addition, she used to be healthy and tall, but now she looks skinny, and the coat no longer looks suitable for her.
"Mom, let me carry you!"
There were many people on the road, and Qin Yang was afraid of encountering someone who kept walking with her head down like before, so he immediately strode in front of his mother and bent down slightly.
"Stop wasting time and just walk properly—"
Just as Qin Guihua was about to reject her son, a bright pink figure emerged from the crowd of people in blue overalls. "Aunt Qin, Brother Qin Yang, are you back from the hospital?"
“Yes, it is!”
After Qin Guihua looked at Chen Panpan who suddenly appeared and subconsciously agreed, Chen Pan immediately approached them and stretched out his hand to Qin Yang: "Brother Qin Yang, you want to carry Auntie on your back, right? Come on, give me the things!"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Qin Yang agreed without thinking too much. The most important thought in his mind at this moment was to carry his mother back as soon as possible.
So when Chen Pan stretched out his hand, he smiled and immediately handed over the two large plastics in his hand.
"Son, don't do this. That thing is so heavy. Panpan can't carry it alone—"
Seeing her son's actions, Mother Qin subconsciously wanted to stop him.
But when she saw Chen Pan easily take the things from her son's hand and look at her naturally, Qin Guihua didn't say anything else.
"Mom, come up, let's talk about it when we get back."
Qin Yang pressed his back down again.
This time Qin Guihua did not refuse, but slowly leaned over and lay on her son's back, and put her arms around her son's neck.
If she had doubted before that her son could not carry her, then during the recent hospitalization, after being carried back and forth by him several times, she had a new understanding of her son's strength and physique.
Qin Guihua's face was abnormally pale, and coupled with her inappropriate thick coat, and the medical urinal, large aluminum lunch box, and medicine box in the plastic bag in Chen Pan's hand, her identity was almost clearly revealed.
So at this moment, even though she was being carried on Qin Yang's back, she did not attract much attention from others.
As the three of them were walking back home, Qin Guihua, who was being carried on his back, finally realized what was going on and said, "By the way, Panpan, what were you doing here just now? Were we not delaying anything for you?"
"No, I was selling goods in the store just now and I saw a person in front of me who looked a lot like my former neighbor, so I ran out to take a look, but I didn't expect that I was mistaken."
Chen Pan finished speaking with a mixture of truth and falsehood, then inquired again, "Auntie, after your surgery, will you still need to go for chemotherapy regularly? The mother of my old classmate had a lot of chemotherapy in her later years."
"I don't need that. The doctor told me to come for regular checkups. The next one will be in three months. If there are no abnormalities in the examination after three months, the next one will be in six months."
Qin Yang has told Qin Guihua these days about why his son suddenly wanted to take him for a check-up.
So at this moment, when Qin Guilan was talking to Chen Pan, there was a lot more gratitude in her eyes.
"Wow, your illness is completely different from my classmate's mother's. After her surgery, she had to undergo chemotherapy almost every month. I heard that she lost all her hair after the chemotherapy. Compared to her, you are indeed much luckier."
Chen Pan spoke loudly at this moment, with an innocent tone and a very casual attitude.
After hearing the little girl's carefree words, Ms. Qin, who was carried on her son's back, finally laughed. "I'm in the early stages, while your classmate's mother is probably in the second or third stage. Anyway, I was able to detect the disease early and have the cancer removed early, all thanks to you, Panpan. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have become."
If it weren't for Chen Pan's reminder, when her disease progressed to stage two or three, she might have to have her entire stomach removed. She might have to undergo chemotherapy again and again like others. She might have made a lot of efforts, but still failed in the end.
Qin Guihua didn't say anything else.
But because of Chen Pan's words, her mood suddenly improved a lot.
Although she felt shameless, she thought about the terrible suffering of others who had this disease and then thought about her current situation. She had a strange sense of déjà vu that she was indeed very lucky.
"Panpan, thank you!"
Thinking that she was able to go to the hospital early this time, it was really thanks to the little girl beside her, Qin Guihua, who was being carried on her back, couldn't help but say something in a low voice.
At the same time, she began to think in her heart what she should do in the future to repay the other party's great kindness.
Anyway, for something like this, just a verbal thank you is absolutely not enough.
"Auntie, you're too polite. The fact that your illness was discovered and treated early this time is because you took it seriously enough. It has nothing to do with me. Just don't listen to what others say in the future and don't treat me as a jinx."
As they were almost at the Qin family's shop, Chen Pan suddenly said this.
"That's possible, we are not that kind of people."
Feeling that this little girl's thoughts were really strange, Qin Guihua's attention was now almost entirely shifted to Chen Pan.
"Yes, we all know you meant well. If you hadn't reminded me, who knows how long my mother's condition would have been delayed by us. No matter what others think when they encounter such a thing, in our eyes, we will only be grateful to you and will not have any malicious thoughts."
The so-called crow's mouth that announces death means that a person who is in good health will become seriously ill or die after the crow's mouth predicts something.
Knowing that there might really be such people in reality, it seemed that Chen Pan must have been told this by someone. Qin Yang, who was carrying his mother on his back, could not help but quickly explain.
"It's okay, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
Chen Pan's mood suddenly darkened, but he quickly smiled and said that everything was fine.
Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, his grandparents, as well as the owner of the vegetable shop on the other side, gathered around. Chen Pan put the things in his hands in front of the Qin family store and said no more.
*
Although Liuping Town is a town, it is the kind of small town that was transformed from a village only a few years ago.
Anyway, many of the customs and habits here are exactly the same as those in Qingshui Village, Chen Pan’s hometown.
It started when Qin Yang brought her mother back.
Many neighbors came to visit each other one by one, carrying eggs, brown sugar and other things.
Even Chen Pan's grandparents couldn't sit still and went to visit the other party that night, carrying a dozen eggs and a dozen pancakes.
When his grandparents went next door, Chen Pan was reading the reply letter Yang Xiaomei wrote to him in his room.
Looking at what the other party had written, Chen Pan smiled with satisfaction, then took out his textbook and began to study attentively.
She was reborn, and strictly speaking, she had almost forgotten a lot of the knowledge she learned in junior high school.
But at the same time, she had attended high school and taken the college entrance exam before.
So now when she looks at junior high school math and English, she feels that they are much simpler.
For subjects like Chinese and history that require memorization, she now has the patience and concentrates on studying and memorizing.
If you can't endure the hardship of studying now, you will have to endure the hardship of life in the future.
Because she had suffered enough in her previous life, Chen Pan now feels that studying is quite easy. She is also willing to endure the hardship of studying rather than the hardships of life.
After reciting the textbook over and over again and finishing the review for tomorrow's Chinese class, Chen Pan took out his English textbook.
Human memory is a very subtle thing. Chen Pan felt that she had almost forgotten many things in the past ten years. But now, picking up the textbook again, Chen Pan slowly felt a sense of familiarity.
With this subtle thought in mind, Chen Pan studied until 10:30 in the evening.
At this point, Chen Pan didn't dare to struggle anymore.
After quickly washing up, even though his grandparents had not returned from next door yet, Chen Pan packed up everything and went to bed early.
It seemed that grandparents didn't come back until almost half past eleven. After waking up for a while, Chen Pan fell asleep again soon.
Because she went to bed early enough, Chen Pan woke up on time at 5:30 in the morning. By that time, her grandparents had already gotten up and started their morning business.
"Uncle, give me three pork patties."
"Give me four carrots, please!"
"I want two beef ones!"
Amid the hawking sounds outside, Chen Pan got up quickly.
She quickly washed and tidied herself in the bathroom opposite as usual. When Chen Pan came out of the bathroom, his grandparents had already placed two pancakes, a bowl of fried potatoes, and a cup of warm water at just the right temperature for her on the table outside.
"Grandpa and grandma, why did you come back so late yesterday?"
"Your Aunt Qin was in good spirits, so we chatted with her for a while. If we hadn't chatted with her, we wouldn't have known that you noticed that she was not feeling well and suggested that she go get checked out early!"
"Yeah, girl, how can you be so bold? You dare to make random guesses and random comments about such things. Fortunately—no, I mean that in the future, you must never make random guesses and random comments about such things behind our backs again."
"Well, I get it. This time I just couldn't help but remind you because Aunt Qin was a nice person—"
During the meal, Chen Pan chatted with his grandparents for a few more words. After a quick breakfast, even though it was only six o'clock, Chen Pan went out early with his schoolbag on his back.
The primary school, junior high school and high school departments of No. 6 Middle School are completely separate, and the junior high school and high school departments are also separated layer by layer.
Looking up at the classrooms on the sixth floor where the lights were already on, Chen Pan walked step by step to the rightmost classroom on the second floor and turned on the lights in that classroom.
Thinking that she still had to study for four and a half years from the second year of junior high school to the third year of high school, Chen Pan rarely thought about it.
But soon she realized that she seemed to be wasting her time, so she threw all the garbage out of her mind, and quickly took out her English book and started memorizing again.
This morning was still ordinary for Chen Pan.
As usual, she listened to the class attentively, did the physical exercises and eye exercises seriously, and chatted casually with a few classmates around her, so as not to make herself seem so out of place.
When it was time for lunch, Chen Pan ran out as soon as possible as usual.
If it were normal, her grandmother would have prepared lunch for her by now, and now they would be waiting for her to come back so that they could eat together.
But this time, after turning the corner, Chen Pan saw that the shutter door of his shop was suddenly closed and seemed to be locked.
Suddenly, he had a lot of premonitions in his heart. Then, Chen Pan, who was walking among the group of students and workers, no longer cared about anything else. He immediately shouted "Make way" and pushed through the crowd and ran forward.
