Chapter 458 Parallel Time and Space (Thirteen)
She looked down to see what was going on and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"Are you plastering the walls with chalk dust?"
Xiao Wuzi raised his head proudly: "Sister Tong, you are really smart. You saw it at a glance."
He collected a lot of chalk scraps, scraped them into fine powder with a ruler, added some water and mixed it together. The color looked like lime.
I ran out during my nap and started patching the wall with chalk dust.
He is the oldest child living in the welfare home now. Except for his older brothers and sisters who go to school outside, the rest are little kids around three or four years old.
Lin Sujuan is old and mentally weak, so she hired two aunts in their thirties to help take care of the children.
So he doesn't usually have any playmates, but he is also very happy playing by himself.
He was very serious and smoothed it carefully with a ruler.
Repairing the wall is really a delicate job that requires waste chalk. He has been saving chalk for so long, but he has only been able to repair a small piece of wall the size of a palm.
But everything depends on human effort. He believed that one day he would be able to collect enough chalk and successfully paint all the walls of the welfare home.
In this way, Mother Lin will definitely hug him in her arms and call him her sweetheart.
"You're dreaming, Xiao Wuzi. Where can I get so much chalk to make it for you?"
Lin Xiaotong was amused. Nowadays, most schools use projectors and teachers rarely write on the blackboard.
Projectors and touch-screen blackboards are also installed in the large classrooms of the welfare home.
The consumption of chalk is not as much as before, not to mention using chalk dust to plaster walls.
"That's okay. I'll use the money from selling the bottles to buy chalk."
He patted his chest and made a promise, his eyes sparkling.
She seemed to see the stars she saw in the tree house when she was a child, touching the softest part of her heart.
He reached out and touched his head, took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket and put it in his palm.
"Then I'll wait and see."
"Sister Tong, don't worry, I, Xiao Wuzi, will do the work. I promise to make the walls of our house look beautiful!"
He grinned and shook his short legs with joy.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go see Mother Lin."
Xiao Wuzi nodded, watched Lin Xiaotong go to the office, retracted his gaze, squatted down, and continued to plaster the wall.
He turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on being a painter.
Lin Xiaotong went forward and knocked on the door: "Mother Lin, I'm here."
I heard the sound of someone inside getting up and rummaging around. After waiting for a while, the door was opened.
Lin Sujuan held onto the door frame with a pale face, full of surprise.
After taking a breath, he replied, "Why did you have time to come here today? You didn't even tell me."
Lin Xiaotong hurried forward, held her hand, and walked into the house in small steps.
"Mother Lin, didn't you eat? Why do you look so bad?"
Lin Sujuan patted her hands and said, "I just got up too fast and feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after sitting down and taking a rest."
Lin Xiaotong felt that she was too thin to sit down even when she held her hand, so she helped her sit down.
I touched her forehead with my hand and it felt slightly hot. I couldn't stop worrying.
"Mother Lin, do you still have a low-grade fever? Let's go to the hospital."
Lin Sujuan sat on a chair, holding a cup of water to warm her hands.
After hearing this, there was some resistance on his face: “The hospital smells like disinfectant, I can’t get used to it.
Maybe I caught a cold last night because the temperature dropped. I took a fever-reducing pill and it was fine. There was no need to go to the hospital."
Lin Sujuan looks gentle and has no temper, but she is actually very stubborn.
"Okay then, I'll get some hot water for you to soak your feet."
I picked up the water bottle and shook it, but there was no hot water. I took the kettle and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get some hot water.
Seeing that the trash can was full, he bent down, picked up the trash bag, and prepared to take it out to throw it away.
The garbage bag was so full that several blood-stained papers popped out when it was tied.
She was immediately stunned, her brain stopped working, and she squatted down to open the bag and take a closer look.
Lin Sujuan rubbed her eyebrows tiredly and saw that she was squatting motionless.
"Xiaotong, what's wrong?"
She turned around, tears in her eyes, and her hands were shaking as she was holding the phone.
"Let's go to the hospital, right away, everything will be fine.
It's just a nosebleed, it will be fine.
I'm such an idiot, I should have thought of that earlier."
He cried and started calling 120.
Lin Sujuan ran over, hugged her, and wiped her tears with her fingers.
"Don't cry, I'm really fine, it's just that the weather has been a bit dry recently and I've had a nosebleed.
I just need to be more careful, it's really nothing serious, don't cry."
I won’t say any more.
"I don't believe it! You must be hiding something from me. No, we have to go to the hospital today!"
Lin Xiaotong knew her personality. In the past, in order to save money, she would not go to the hospital when she had a cold or fever, but would just stay in the house and endure it alone.
Not everyone has the ability to endure. Once, Lin Sujuan had a high fever but was still squatting and washing clothes. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she would pretend that nothing was wrong.
Others can't tell from their faces at all.
Lin Sujuan always thought of them as children, so she kept everything to herself and never told them.
Of course, even if you asked, it would be of no use.
Somehow, I felt extremely nervous this time, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
This time, his tone was firm and he pulled Lin Sujuan outside.
Even Xiao Wuzi, who was obsessed with mending the wall, was alarmed, and Little Radish Head ran over to take a look.
The two adults hugged each other and cried bitterly.
He didn't know the situation and was stamping his feet anxiously outside.
"Mother Lin, Sister Tong, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Wuzi, close the door from the inside. We're going to the hospital later."
Lin Xiaotong took the time to give some instructions, wiped away her tears, calmed down, and started packing with red eyes.
"No problem, I will complete the task."
Xiao Wuzi nodded hurriedly. He has always been the most obedient child.
I heard crying in the dormitory building, thought about it and ran over to help take care of it.
It will take some time for the ambulance to arrive here. If you need to be hospitalized, you should bring a few sets of clothes with you.
Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Lin Sujuan sat on the edge of the bed and sighed softly.
He rubbed the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and pretended to be relaxed.
"I'm already this old, it's normal to get sick. I can't live forever."
Lin Xiaotong couldn't bear to hear this and kept packing her things.
"Mother Lin, what did the doctor say last time? What is the disease?
Don't worry, I have a job now and I have money. I will take you to get treatment.
Don't be afraid, just go to the hospital for treatment.
Medical technology is so advanced now, I'm sure everything will be fine."
"It costs a lot of money. It's the same if I keep it at home."
Lin Sujuan spoke lightly, but she felt like her skull was about to explode when she heard it.
He packed up his things in a few seconds, took out the key from the drawer, and prepared to lock the door and leave.
Lin Sujuan didn't stop anyone and she took out several medical records from inside.
He snatched it and took a look. After seeing it clearly, his eyes felt a stinging pain. He quickly held on to the table and calmed himself down.
"Leukemia, how could it be leukemia?"
My God, look at what you have done.
Why let a good person get this disease?
The key point is that Mother Lin does not have her own children, so if she wants to do a bone marrow transplant, she can only rely on the matching of strangers.
The chance of this happening is too small, and no one can guarantee that they will definitely meet the right one.
If the pairing is successful, the chances of survival are much greater.
Xiao Wuzi ran out from the yard: "Sister Tong, there's a big car outside."
"I know, I'll be right there."
Lin Xiaotong also stuffed the medical records in, carried her bag, and walked outside with Lin Sujuan, and they both got into the ambulance together.
Xiao Wuzi watched from inside the door and only locked it after the car was out of sight.
…
When she arrived at the hospital, Lin Sujuan was taken to have a blood test.
Lin Xiaotong was waiting anxiously outside and kept calling Lin Sujuan's children.
"Sister Ping, it's me, Xiaotong, are you busy these days?
Could you spare some time to come back?
Our mother...is sick."
