Chapter 352 Gu Yin is Sick
When Director Fang posted the good news and Gu Yin's class schedule in the cafeteria, the training camp erupted in excitement!
Everyone looked at Gu Yin like she was some kind of weirdo!
"No wonder she doesn't attend classes with us!"
"Everyone thought the teacher was being biased and giving her extra help, but it turns out she actually took three subjects!"
"Looking at it this way, she's not even better off than us. We only study one subject, but Gu Yin has to study three subjects in the same amount of time! And she also has to do experiments at night! She's busier than the college entrance exam!"
"I don't know how she managed to persevere! She's truly amazing!"
"There's a reason why she's so outstanding! On her days off, I see her staying in her dorm studying, and every night after class, I see her studying until the lights go out, which is midnight! We're resting, and she's studying; we're studying, and she's studying too. Outstanding people work even harder than us, so what right do we have to complain about the heavy workload assigned by our teachers!"
Since then, the learning atmosphere in the training camp has become more intense than ever before! The teachers, on the other hand, have been smiling more and more often!
This intense learning atmosphere resulted in the first exam two weeks later, where no one was eliminated and everyone actually passed the passing grade!
However, this result led some students to become complacent, and as a result, in the second assessment at the end of November, ten students dropped out of the biology department and twelve students dropped out of the physics department! The two subjects were left with 40 and 38 students respectively!
Having learned from this experience, her restless heart settled down again, but the subsequent courses became increasingly difficult. Many people couldn't handle it and had to give up. Even Gu Yin herself caught a fever and a cold two days before the winter solstice.
It's really rare. Ever since she took that Restoration Pill, her body has been basically transformed, and she hasn't been sick since. I didn't expect her to collapse like this.
It gave the three teachers a huge fright!
"You've been pushing yourself too hard lately! You need to stop and rest!" Li Lifang said sternly, looking at Gu Yin, who was pale and bloodless on the hospital bed.
“I’m usually scared when I see you, but seeing that you’re alright, I feel like I’ve been given a shot of adrenaline! Teacher Li is right, you need to rest. Health is the most important thing. If you get sick from studying, how will we explain it to your family?” Dong Xianli poured Gu Yin a glass of water to soothe her throat.
Gu Yin took a sip and smiled, "The fever has gone down, it's nothing serious. It's probably because I forgot to dry my hair after washing it, that's why this happened. I'll be more careful next time, and it definitely won't happen again. I don't need to rest."
Fang Taiming disagreed: "No! You must rest! I'll give you a week off. Rest well at home! Come back after a week! During this time, the chemistry students are coming to the training camp, and everyone is restless and can't concentrate on their studies. Going home won't interfere with anything. Don't be stubborn. We're still looking forward to you bringing back a gold medal from abroad! I've already called your family. They'll be here soon and can take you home. Don't worry about anything else."
Seeing the three teachers like this, Gu Yin originally thought of asking her uncle and the others to help her put in a good word when they came over, but it turned out that Gu Qinglang and Li Mengxin were the ones who came.
Before Gu Yin could even utter a sound, Li Mengxin's tears began to fall in droves.
Gu Yin paused, a little nervous and guilty, and said, "Mom, I'm fine, it's just a cold, don't worry! Don't cry!"
After Li Mengxin and Gu Qinglang greeted the teacher, they sat down next to Gu Yin, holding her hand that hadn't been injected and stroking it.
“The last time we met, your hands and face were so chubby. Now, not only is your face completely devoid of flesh, but look at your hands, they’re so thin they’re almost painful to look at! How did you get so thin!” Li Mengxin felt more and more distressed as she thought about it.
She really wanted to suggest that they skip the exam, go back to school, and take the college entrance exam, but seeing the look in her daughter's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say it!
Gu Qinglang's eyes welled up with tears: "The teachers all told us to let you rest for a week. After you get your injection, we'll go home and recuperate so you can have a better physique to face the future. Be a good boy/girl."
Gu Yin had no choice but to agree.
For something like a fever, once the fever subsides after an injection and the tests show nothing wrong, you have to go home. You can't use up your medical resources, and you certainly can't be hospitalized.
So after the injection, Gu Qinglang went to get the medicine, and everyone left the hospital.
After the three teachers left, Gu Qinglang drove them home.
On the way, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Mom and Dad, why did you come to Beijing?"
Li Mengxin touched Gu Yin's forehead and smiled, "Your dad came to study, and I missed you, so I came along. I was just thinking of going to the gate to check on you, but I didn't expect you to be sick. It's good that I came. You really are something, is studying more important or your health? We're just ordinary people, we don't need you to waste your energy trying to earn honors. Besides, the dangerous things are over. Mom just hopes you're healthy."
Gu Yin held Li Mengxin's hand and smiled, "This was really an accident. I did those things because I liked them. I don't want to live a mediocre life. I want to do many, many things! Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Seeing the light in her eyes when she talked about those things, Li Mengxin stopped worrying and decided to give her some extra nutrition to help her regain her weight.
Back at the Gu residence, she was scolded by everyone again, so Gu Yin could only use being sleepy as an excuse to leave.
The day after tomorrow is the winter solstice, and the festive atmosphere is very strong in the north. Gu Yin thought of Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu.
When the two heard that Gu Yin was ill and had lost a lot of weight, they wanted to pack their things and go to the capital, but it was too cold here, so Gu Yin stopped them. However, Gu Yin did return to Li Family Village with Li Mengxin.
As soon as the two entered the village, they heard crying and wailing.
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Who's fighting?"
Li Mengxin shook her head: "I don't know, let's go home first."
When the two returned home, the old lady saw Gu Yin and kept yelling, "You brat, don't you know how to take good care of yourself!" Then she took a knife and went to the chicken coop.
The old man sighed and went to the kitchen to start a fire.
Gu Yin: "..." She really just had a fever and a cold, and she's all better now, but she's still a little weak and her complexion hasn't fully recovered.
However, seeing the two old people's expressions, she didn't dare to say anything.
Li Mengxin helped the old lady get chicken legs and wings so that the old lady could slit the chicken's throat, and then asked curiously, "When we entered the village just now, we heard crying. Who was arguing?"
"It's Li Dazhi and Li Chenggong! They died yesterday and today respectively!"
Gu Yin was stunned: "Weren't those two people supposed to be in a vegetative state? How did they just die?" The doctor didn't say they would die, they just became vegetative.
The old woman snorted, "After the two of them became vegetative, their families initially helped them clean up, but after a while they got tired of it. They used to clean them every two days, then once a week, then once a month, and then not even once a day. The villagers didn't know anything about it until after the two of them died. When the villagers went to help, they found that Li Dazhi's back was completely rotten! There wasn't a single patch of skin left! Many holes! It was covered with bedsores! And there were maggots crawling around! It was terrifying and disgusting! Li Chenggong could still see skin, but he also had bedsores. His mother didn't say anything, she just kept crying."
Although the two were in a terrible situation, the old lady and Li Mengxin couldn't feel any sympathy for them when they thought about what they had done to Gu Yin!
Gu Yin initially thought this had nothing to do with them, but the next day, Li Dazhi's family and Li Chenggong's mother actually came to their door, demanding compensation from the Gu family!
