Cai Tian: "At this time, I envy those factory workers even more. They are so lucky because they have regular holidays."
"We have to work during the Chinese New Year, and we don't have time to attend class reunions or family gatherings."
Yu Si: "Speaking of this, I remembered something. A few days ago, I met the old monitor in the city. He said that he was going to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Kuang on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"Should we join in the fun?"
Zhou Yao: "I heard that Teacher Kuang's husband, Teacher Liu, has not been in good health recently. Will so many of us disturb Teacher Kuang's family if we go there?"
Yu Si: "There's only the old squad leader. Even if a few of us go over there, there are only a few of us. It won't be that serious."
"Xia Zhi, you are also a student of Teacher Kuang now, do you want to join us?"
Qiao Xiazhi: "Okay, then wait for me, I'll go get some gifts or something. Do you want a red envelope?"
Yu Si: "Pack two and give 50 cents for each. Teacher Kuang has two grandchildren. His son and daughter-in-law are not at home, so the two grandchildren are with the old couple."
Zhou Yao: "Give me another five-yuan red envelope. Teacher Kuang's husband is in poor health, so give him a red envelope as a token of appreciation."
Cai Tian: "I think it's fine to give red envelopes to the two children, but giving red envelopes to Teacher Kuang's husband is not a good idea, right?"
Zhou Yao: "We have all graduated, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Besides, we only gave five dollars. It's a token of our appreciation for the New Year. It's not fifty or a hundred dollars. Fifty or a hundred dollars would be problematic."
"Look, it's Chinese New Year, and when visiting relatives and friends, who wouldn't give a small red envelope for good luck?"
Yu Si: "I think what Sister Zhou Yao said makes sense. A red envelope of a few dollars is just for good luck. It's nothing. What do you think, Xia Zhi?"
Qiao Xiazhi: "I think it's best not to give it. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the five dollars. If we calculate it this way, if each of us gives five dollars, it will be twenty dollars, which is almost half a month's salary for a teacher."
"If someone with ulterior motives reports this and makes a fuss about it, it will also be affected."
"If it's for the child, you can give it normally. Fifty cents is not too much."
After listening to Qiao Xiazhi's words, everyone felt that it made sense.
Teacher Kuang has worked diligently for so many years and has never made any mistakes or been reported by anyone. We cannot let the teacher be implicated because of these few people.
After discussing this, several people each took a bag of candy and two small red envelopes and set out to wish the teacher a happy new year.
Teacher Kuang lives with her two grandsons and her husband in the house allocated by the school.
The house is inside the school.
Their house does not have a separate kitchen and bathroom.
Cooking is done in the corridor.
If you want to go to the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet at the back downstairs.
The room is also very small, just one bedroom and one living room. This one bedroom and one living room should be a small room they separated out by themselves.
The two children sleep in the room.
The old couple sleeps in the living room.
Qiao Xiazhi and others came to wish the teacher a happy new year, and the teacher was also very surprised and happy.
The two children, one eight years old and the other ten years old, happily went to eat the candies after receiving them.
Teacher Kuang had just poured them a cup of tea when someone called out from downstairs.
"Teacher Kuang, Teacher Kuang, something bad has happened. Your teacher Liu has fainted in the toilet."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Kuang put down his teacup and ran downstairs.
Qiao Xiazhi and Cai Tian also hurriedly followed.
Zhou Yao and Yu Si were looking after the two children in the room.
When Teacher Kuang and the others ran down from upstairs, Teacher Liu had already been carried out of the toilet.
Then they enthusiastically helped carry it back to their room.
The room was small, so the neighbors were all waiting outside.
Qiao Xiazhi found an opportunity to take Teacher Liu's pulse.
After confirming the situation, some special abilities were injected into it.
But because she was not sure whether Teacher Kuang knew about her man's situation, Qiao Xiazhi had to try to ask:
"Teacher, do you know the situation of Teacher Liu?"
Teacher Kuang said with red eyes: "Of course I know. I took him to a big hospital for a checkup before. He has a mid-to-late stage brain tumor."
"This is a fatal disease. I have been taking medicine to control it, but my body is becoming increasingly unable to cope with it."
"Before the Lunar New Year, he wanted to stop taking the medicine for a while to see how things went. He has indeed gotten much better in the past two days. So just now he said he had to go to the bathroom and didn't want me to accompany him, so I just let him go."
Teacher Kuang burst into tears as he spoke.
Qiao Xiazhi comforted him, "This is a mid-to-late stage of brain cancer, and the cancer cells haven't spread yet. Taking medication to control the disease is the best way to deal with it. You shouldn't stop taking the medication midway."
In the 1970s in this parallel world, medicine was not yet particularly mature, and the success rate of surgery for mid- to late-stage brain tumors was basically zero.
So the only way is to control it with medication.
However, it is not always possible to successfully control it with drugs, and the side effects are particularly severe.
The rest is up to fate.
Teacher Kuang: "I saw that he has been taking medicine recently, and he is suffering from it. He can't eat anything."
"I thought about letting him eat something good during the Chinese New Year, so I stopped taking the medicine temporarily. Who would have thought~~~"
Looking at Teacher Kuang who was crying inconsolably, Qiao Xiazhi looked at Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao understood what Qiao Xiazhi meant, and then walked to the door and said, "Thank you all for what happened just now. Now everything is fine here, so everyone can go home, go home."
After the neighbors left, Qiao Xiazhi said, "Teacher Kuang, do you trust me? If you trust me, I would like to try acupuncture control for Teacher Liu."
After that, Cai Tian agreed: "Yes, yes, Xia Zhi's acupuncture is very powerful. This is the acupuncture secret passed down by her grandfather's great-grandfather."
