Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Black Tiger Qing in Childhood Memories...
It was late at night. Su Qianzi said goodbye to Tan Weiming and went home with her family.
Su Tianli was preparing to go back to Shaou Street.
Su Qianzi hesitated for a long time and called her, "Sister..."
Su Tianli looked back at Su Qianzi, and seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, she understood.
My sister wants to chat with her!
"I won't go back tonight. Qianzi just came back. I'll chat with her," Su Tianli said to Cheng Yu, "You go back. You don't have to come tomorrow. Go directly to the Guest House. Qianzi, Meiyu and I will go there together. You have to wait for us at the door of the Guest House!"
——It was agreed that Su Tianli and Cheng Yu would accompany the Xu family for a stroll.
Cheng Yu felt a little aggrieved.
But now Su Qianzi is in trouble, and Lizhi is right to take care of her sister first.
So he nodded.
Su Tianli instructed him again, "Go back and clean up the house, soak some red beans and make some red bean paste, or soak some white fungus...Tomorrow we'll ask Grandma Xu and the others if they want to go to Shaou Street for a visit. If they want to go, we'll treat them to some red bean paste."
Cheng Yu thought for a moment, "Red bean paste is good, but it doesn't seem special enough. I'd better make some Tremella fuciformis soup!"
Su Tianli smiled, "Okay!"
In fact, Cheng Yu really hopes that the lychees can be given to him.
But Lizhi’s attention…seems to have been focused on her sister.
There was no choice, Cheng Yu left with resentment.
After Cheng Yu left, Su Tianli and Su Qianzi washed up at home and went to bed.
Su Tianli spoke first, "Qianqian, what did you talk about with A-Ming?"
Su Qianzi sighed, "He is really too sensitive..." Then she told the whole story of her conversation with Tan Weiming.
Su Tianli laughed, "You actually kidnapped him to take the college entrance examination?"
Su Qianzi said helplessly: "His physical illness is incurable, and his happiness or unhappiness will affect his physical health..."
"I don't have a better solution."
"For me, the biggest gain from the three years in the countryside is that I have learned my major thoroughly. So I think the more adverse the situation is, the more we need to set a clear goal."
"Diverting attention under pressure can reduce a large part of the pain!"
"But sister, I feel very uneasy..."
As she spoke, Su Qianzi sighed again.
Su Tianli asked, "Are you worried that after you gave him this suggestion, you will be responsible for his college entrance examination?"
"Or are you worried that he's working too hard during his exam preparations, like staying up late at night or something, which might make his health problems worse?"
"Or are you afraid that his family will put all the blame on you?"
Su Qianzi didn't say anything for a long time.
But in the end he said: "Or... both!"
Su Tianli was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Qianqian, if you have so many concerns about Ah Ming's incident, then..."
Then the relationship between Su Qianzi and Tan Weiming cannot be called love.
Because there are too many concerns involved.
Su Qianzi said softly, "Sister, I feel very confused."
Su Tianli asked bluntly: "Don't you like him?"
Su Qianzi also answered directly, "I don't know."
"If I were still on the construction site, he would be the most important person to me...no one else. His existence even exceeds the importance of my family to me - Sister, you should understand what I mean."
Su Tianli nodded.
Of course she understands!
To be honest, during the five years she worked in the Northwest, the farm environment was good, the work content made her feel fulfilled, and her future was bright!
But there is always a time to stop.
Sometimes when I see other colleagues and friends receiving letters and things from home one by one,
To say she wasn't envious would be a lie.
Su Qianzi continued: "...But now, I'm home!"
"Sister, to be honest, now that mom and big sister are not at home, not only dad is happy, I'm happy too!"
“It’s only now that I feel like I’m part of this family.”
"so--"
Su Qianzi didn't continue speaking.
But Su Tianli understood immediately.
——So Tan Weiming’s existence is no longer as important as when Su Qianzi was on the construction site.
"Sister, do you think I'm despicable?" Su Qianzi asked in a low voice.
Su Tianli sighed, "Qianqian, you can't ask me this question."
"I'm your sister, I'm on your side."
"If you want to listen to my opinion... I'm like Dad and Brother. We don't want you and Ming to stay together."
"This is our selfish motive. We care about you, so we don't want you to be dragged down by Amin."
Su Qianzi whispered, "But if I cut off all ties with him as soon as I come back, it would seem that I'm a bit heartless, right?"
Su Tianli did not answer but asked, "Putting aside his health problems? Do you like him?"
After a long while, Su Qianzi spoke blankly, "I don't know."
"Sister, I really don't know," Su Qianzi said softly, "I..."
Su Qianzi organized her words before continuing, "Before I went to the countryside, I did have a good impression of him."
"After I went to the countryside, he became the only one who could give me a break."
"But ever since I received the letter from his sister, my desire to confide in him...seems to have been castrated."
"Of course, he is still the person I confide in."
"But... I didn't dare to tell him the most painful part of my heart anymore. Slowly, I digested and absorbed those negative emotions by myself, and he... didn't seem to be that important to me anymore."
"Because I have to bear everything on my own," said Su Qianzi.
Su Tianli understood.
"That is——"
"In the past, he was more important to you than your family."
"Now, in your heart, he is ranked behind your family."
"You can't say you like him, but he is still a very important person to you, right?" Su Tianli asked.
Su Qianzi said: "Yes!"
Su Tianli patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Then let's maintain the status quo for now!"
"You've made a great start!"
"Let him put his extra energy into the college entrance examination. He'll have something serious to do, and maybe he won't think too much about it!"
"As for your worries about 'what if he studies too hard for the exam and gets sick' or 'whether his family will blame you if something happens to him'..."
"Qianqian, you don't have to worry at all! First of all, his family is actually quite nice..."
"Secondly, we will protect you - I mean, if his family wants to make trouble for you."
As she spoke, Su Tianli repeated what the Tan and Su families had said in the stairwell tonight.
After hearing this, Su Qianzi felt a little relieved, but she felt even more guilty.
But no matter what, even my sister agreed to encourage Tan Weiming to take the college entrance examination.
Su Qianzi felt relieved.
The two sisters talked about something else during the night in bed...
I don't even know how I fell asleep.
The next day, Su Tianli and Su Qianzi got up together, called Yao Meiyu, and the three of them went to the guesthouse together.
Su Tianli’s task today is to go out and play with the Xu family.
Old Mrs. Xu's assistant found a minibus.
It is said that Old Lady Xu wanted Cheng Yu to be her guide and take her around for a bit.
In fact, the old lady's assistant has already arranged the itinerary.
The itinerary was also shown to Cheng Yu and Su Tianli.
Su Tianli discussed quietly with Cheng Yu, "After all, it was the government that took action... There are many places I have only heard of but never been to!"
She came to Guangzhou at the age of seven and left at the age of seventeen. In the ten years in between, she was always worried about making a living.
After returning to the city, she was constantly obsessed with making money through business.
It's embarrassing to say this.
She has never even been to Yuexiu Park!
Cheng Yu's experience was not much better than Su Tianli's.
Although he had never left Guangzhou, he was twenty-three... no, twenty-four, but he had never even taken a bus before he was twenty-two, and the farthest he had ever been was Chemical Industry Avenue!
Su Tianli hasn't been to many places.
But Cheng Yu went to even fewer places!
For Cheng Yu, this can also be regarded as his lychee journey.
So, Old Mrs. Xu gathered everyone together, drove the car back to the chemical plant, and called Su Dejun and Su Tiancai, and the two families went for a stroll around the area together.
Because of Yao Meiyu, a local who was born and raised in Guangzhou, she is very familiar with the local customs and people of Guangzhou, and she is lively and helpful.
It gave Mrs. Xu, Xu Wensong and Xu Wenmei a great travel experience.
However, a small incident occurred during the game.
——When everyone went to Yuexiu Park to play, Cheng Yu discovered a tiger vine on the back hill of Zhenhai Tower, and followed the vine to find several black tigers!
Black tiger is a wild fruit.
The ripe fruit looks like a ripe pineapple, but not as big as a pineapple. It is golden in color, looks beautiful, and feels hard, like wood.
Now is not the season for black tigers to mature.
No one knows why there are still black tigers that are a little too mature here.
The Xu family had no idea what a black tiger was.
In short, I think this is a weird-looking thing.
Xu Wensong glanced at the wilted black tiger and asked Yao Meiyu cautiously, "Why is it called a black tiger?"
Yao Meiyu, who was chattering just now, was suddenly stuck.
After being stunned for a long time, she said: "I, I don't know why..."
Xu Wensong looked at Yao Meiyu's innocent and cute appearance and laughed out loud.
At this time, Su Dejun had already pried open the black tiger - the orange-red petals were stuck together like building blocks, and had to be pried apart with brute force, and they would become pieces of flesh.
The side close to the skin is brightly colored but hard like wood and cannot be eaten.
The side close to the core is white and soft flesh, which you can just suck directly into your mouth.
The Su family and Cheng Yu have eaten black tiger.
Su Tianli handed the fruit slices to Old Lady Xu, then took another slice and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it for the old lady to see, "Try it...if there is a pit in the middle, you should spit it out."
There is not much edible part of the black tiger fruit, but the flesh is soft and very juicy.
It's a bit sticky when you first take a sip, but it also has a unique medicinal aroma.
After eating two or three cloves, the sticky feeling disappears...
Su Tianli smiled and explained to Old Lady Xu, "Children in our countryside don't have many snacks to eat. This black tiger fruit is the best among wild fruits."
When Old Lady Xu heard this, she followed Su Tianli's example and ate two pieces of the fruit, praising her: "This tastes really good."
Su Qianzi, who was standing by, stared at the black tiger fruit petals in her hand and lost herself in memories.
When we were young, we were all poor.
Black tiger is a big, sweet and delicious wild fruit. Who wouldn’t like to eat it?
When she was a child, Su Qianzi didn't like her family.
Mom is a partial person, and Dad is like he doesn’t exist;
The eldest sister is the devil in the family;
The second sister treated her better, but she would keep pushing herself to work;
My younger brother is still young and very irritable. He cries at the slightest disturbance...
So when she was a child, Su Qianzi liked to play with Tan Weiming.
His family is rich.
His family members dote on him very much and would give him anything he wants.
Everyone said that this was because Tan Weiming had a disease - congenital heart disease!
Su Qianzi didn't understand what congenital heart disease was.
She only knew that Tan Weiming couldn't run, couldn't carry heavy objects, couldn't be cold, couldn't be hungry, couldn't be too happy or too sad...
His family members would take turns visiting him at the nursery and school every day, even though the nursery and school were only a five-minute walk from his home.
Seeing Tan Weiming being cherished and valued by his family,
Su Qianzi had fantasized more than once that if she got this disease, she would be pampered and cared for by everyone. She also wanted to get this disease.
Until Su Qianzi saw Tan Weiming's attack with her own eyes - he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, his face turned pale and blue, and his breathing was not smooth...
After experiencing this kind of thing several times, Su Qianzi felt that it was not good to be rich but unhealthy like Tan Weiming.
She prefers to be poor but healthy.
After all, when she made a mistake or was lazy and her second sister was so angry that she wanted to beat her or teach her a lesson, she would run wildly all over the mountains and fields. That feeling of being able to create a gust of wind... was really good.
But by the time Su Qianzi figured out what heart disease was, she and Tan Weiming had become indispensable friends.
- For Tan Weiming, no one wanted to play with him because everyone was afraid that he might die at any time; for Su Qianzi, she was the poorest family in the compound, and because of her and her second sister's names, the other kids in the compound looked down on her and were unwilling to play with her.
The two little people became good friends just like that.
The fresh aroma of black tiger fruit wafts into my nose.
Su Qianzi couldn't help but pick up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth.
The sweet and slightly bitter taste made Su Qianzi recall her childhood with Tan Weiming.
That is the season when black tigers mature.
On the back hill of the chemical plant, black tiger vines grow all over the mountain.
Every time this happened, the older children in the family compound would set their eyes on the black tigers, and they would pick one every time one ripened...
Children like Su Qianzi and Tan Weiming could only drool at the ripe fruits on the vines.
In order to pick the ripe fruits, Su Qianzi had to climb up to a taller tree.
Once when picking black tiger fruit, Su Qianzi accidentally fell from the tree.
A small stone hit her back and it hurt so much that she couldn't get up for a long time.
At that time, she was very young and could not express herself well. She could only cry out, "Ouch, ouch, my heart hurts so much, I can't breathe..."
When Tan Weiming heard that she felt pain in her heart, his face changed suddenly. He turned around and ran away, not even noticing that he was still holding the black tiger vine that she had just picked from the tree.
At that time, Su Qianzi thought that Tan Weiming was taking the opportunity to run away with the fruit...
She lay on the thick and soft grass for a while to relax, then walked down the mountain by herself.
but!
Tan Weiming did not show up for several days.
It was not until a few days later that Tan Weiming returned to school with a pale face.
Su Qianzi hated him - humph, a thief who took advantage of her weakness and snatched away the fruits of her victory!
But Tan Weiming came to her and asked her if her heart still hurt.
Su Qianzi thought, how much time has passed and he still asked her if her heart hurts?
Then she saw him stretch out his little fisted hand and motion for her to stretch out her hand as well.
Su Qianzi reached out her hand in confusion.
Tan Weiming solemnly placed a few pills in Su Qianzi's palm and said, "This is medicine for heart pain. You must keep it well. If you have heart pain again next time, just take this and have a good sleep and you will be fine."
Su Qianzi didn't quite understand it and thought the pill was some kind of life-saving panacea, so she happily accepted it.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Mother Tan found the Su family and gently asked Su Qianzi to take out the pill. She then explained to Tian Xiu, "...my Ah Ming thought that your Qian Qian had the same disease as him."
"So he pretended to be sick and asked me to give him medicine. He pretended to take it, but he kept the pill in his mouth without swallowing it. He spit it out and kept it. He saved up the medicine for several days before giving it to Qianqian."
"Sister Tian, we don't mean to blame Qianqian. We are so happy that Qianqian is willing to play with our Ah Ming!"
"But I have to get the medicine back..."
"Sister Tian, that medicine is really worthless. The main reason is that I'm afraid Qianqian will take it carelessly and get sick." Mother Tan said.
Just like that, under Tian Xiu's roar, Su Qianzi handed over those "magic pills" reluctantly.
After Mother Tan left,
Su Qianzi was severely beaten by Tian Xiu.
When she went to school the next day, Su Qianzi hated Tan Weiming so much!
Tan Weiming is very sensitive.
Su Qianzi just looked at him with hatred.
It was like he just... understood everything.
He never took the initiative to approach her again.
But one day later, before school was over, Su Qianzi found a black tiger on her desk.
It looks very much like the one Su Qianzi picked from the tree a few days ago.
Maybe because it has been covered for a few days, its color is extremely bright and it exudes a fresh fragrance.
Su Qianzi was so greedy that she broke open the petals and ate one...
So sweet!
A figure seemed to flash past outside the window of the empty classroom!
Su Qianzi subconsciously called out "Tan Weiming".
After a while, Tan Weiming really walked into the classroom slowly.
"I'm sorry, Su Qianzi," Tan Weiming said timidly, "I didn't know you couldn't take that medicine... My mother has already explained it to me. She said that only I can take that medicine because I'm an abnormal child. You are a normal child, so... even if your heart hurts, you can't take it."
"My mother didn't expect that. She was originally worried that you might have taken the medicine even though you weren't sick... and it might have harmed you, so she went to your house to explain. She didn't expect that you would be beaten by your mother instead."
"My mother also regrets it. She said she did something wrong. She shouldn't have gone to your mother, but should have talked directly to your second sister... Su Qianzi, can you forgive me and my mother?" Tan Weiming asked cautiously.
At that time, Su Qianzi didn't understand what "forgiveness" meant.
She only knew that during the days when Tan Weiming was not in school, no one was willing to talk to her, do homework with her, or go to count ants under the tree with her... She was also very lonely.
Su Qianzi nodded in confusion.
Tan Weiming was very happy. He held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Su Qianzi, my mother said that if you forgive me, you should quietly tell your second sister and let you and your second sister go to my house...but don't let other people in your family know!"
Su Qianzi nodded stupidly.
Later, of course, she went home and told her second sister.
The second sister thought about it and took her to the Tan family.
Then! ! !
Su Qianzi and her second sister had a hearty meal at the Tan family!
The kind with braised pork...
Recalling the past, Su Qianzi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Now looking at the black tiger fruit petals in my hand,
Su Qianzi thought about her and Tan Weiming's unknown future again...
I couldn't help but feel my eyes turn red and my nose feel sour.
Not far away, Su Tianli was also chatting with Cheng Yu.
She told him about the conversation she had with her sister last night.
Yes, Su Tianli was careful and said it on purpose in front of Old Mrs. Xu.
Then he explained:
"…As for Amin's condition, I'll wait until I'm admitted to the medical school of Yixian University and then I'll see if I can meet an expert in this field. After all, according to his family, Amin's condition is not complicated, and the surgeon is already available. The main problem is that the equipment does not allow it..." said Su Tianli.
Cheng Yu had already heard about Tan Weiming's condition yesterday when he went to the hospital with him.
Cheng Yu of course understood what Lizhi meant, so he said with a burden: "A Ming's family is well off, his parents are both working, his brother, sister-in-law, and his sister all have jobs, so it shouldn't be a problem to raise money for his surgery. The main thing is that he is too young, only twenty-one..."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong with the child?"
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu talked about Tan Weiming's situation.
Old Madam Xu thought for a moment and said, "I also know a few doctors in the cardiac surgery department. How about I give them a heads up later and have you ask the child's parents to take him to Beijing for treatment?"
When Su Tianli and Cheng Yu heard this, they showed joyful expressions and thanked Old Mrs. Xu repeatedly.
Old Mrs. Xu smiled. "I just said hello! The same procedures apply to seeing a doctor... Why should you thank me for this?"
However, Old Mrs. Xu was really happy.
Because Cheng Yu was willing to talk to her!
This proves that...even though the child still has a gap with his family, everything is slowly getting better!
After the short trip,
After returning home,
Su Qianzi immediately went to the Tan family and told them that Old Lady Xu had recommended the hospital to help treat Tan Weiming.
The Tan family was so happy that they were in tears!
At that moment, Tan's parents immediately asked for leave from their work, took Mrs. Xu's handwritten letter, and took Tan Weiming directly to Beijing.
Tan Weiming's second sister, Tan Weichun, came to Su Qianzi crying and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Qianzi, I'm so sorry! The letter I wrote to you two years ago was written in a fit of anger. I didn't think too much at the time. I was really just afraid that something would happen to my brother..."
Su Qianzi nodded, "Sister Chun, don't be like this. I also have a younger brother, so I can understand you."
When Tan Weichun heard this, his expression eased a little.
She grabbed Su Qianzi's hand again and asked with concern, "Then... you won't have any rift with A-Ming because of me, right?"
Su Qianzi stared at Tan Weichun in a daze, then lowered her head in silence.
Tan Weichun slowly let go of his hand, looking a little sad.
