Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-eight

Hou Bo, who was called downstairs by his nephew on the phone, saw more than a dozen students standing by the visitor's gate, and he complained incessantly.They stood together in twos and threes and chatted, like a group of birds waiting for the order to go.Some of them held bouquets of flowers in their hands, and some carried fruit baskets. Huber could see that the students spent a lot of money. He first pulled his nephew aside and reprimanded him: "You are crazy. You brought so many people here. There are so many people here in the heart surgery ward. How many patients will you scare to death?"

"But uncle, I beg you, I can't help it. There are only ten people in our class of sixty. You know it's not easy. We decided by lottery, otherwise who would you not let come? Lao Luo is close to every classmate." Hou Bo's nephew finished speaking in one breath. "What?" "It's all iron, but the relationship is good." At this time, several other students also came together. "Hey, Gao Tong, is this your uncle?" A boy pointed to Hou Bo and asked. Gao Tong nodded. "Hey, uncle," the boy called his uncle in a hurry. "Hey, don't bark, I can't afford it."

"Hey, doctor, you have to let us in no matter what, old Luota, say hello, we really want to see him." "That's right, let us go in." The others echoed. "Let's enter a few less." Hou Bo said. "No." The students said in unison. "We are already the representatives who came out first, let us all go in." A girl begged Hou Bo again, "We are the representatives of each subject and the class committee, and we have to report to the teacher." This girl tried to leave way. "Then don't go in, Teacher Luo can't work now." The students coaxed.

"Scream out." The old lady in charge of the door yelled to stop their inadvertent noise. "Doctor Hou, please help us all in. We don't talk about the school, we just want to see the teacher and see what he is like now." Said a girl who was quietly standing aside. Hou Bo still remembered that her name was Bai Bing, the girl who had confided her inner love to him on the street.He glanced at her, and she was not shy at all, meeting Hou Bo's gaze very calmly and calmly.Looking at the girl's determined gaze, Hou Bo decided to let all the students who came see the teacher.

After a lot of effort, he found the key, opened a small conference room in the surgery room, brought the students in, told them not to speak loudly, and then went back to the ward to find Luoyang. When Hou Bo entered the ward, Luoyang was sleeping.Hou Bo looked at him for a few seconds, not understanding why he could make so many people like him, to be precise, it was almost admiration, which was something Hou Bo had never experienced.He has also received many sincere thanks, because those patients think that Hopper saved their lives.Such a moment has always been a good time for Hou Bo to discover the value of his work. He even thought that there is no more important profession than a doctor, because it is related to people's lives.But today he has another idea, maybe a teacher is a more important profession.If a good doctor can keep people alive, then a good teacher should teach people how to live.Hou Bo suddenly discovered today that the two are almost equally important.Thinking of this, Hou Bo was even a little jealous of this young man who was younger than him, and felt that this young man had made his career dim.

Hou Bo opened the door of the meeting room for Luoyang. He thought that Luoyang would be pleasantly surprised to see the flowers and fruits all over the ground.But Luo Yang walked in nonchalantly, picked an empty seat and sat down, then glanced at his classmates, who were all watching him quietly: "You little citizens." Luo Yang tossed this sentence to the students with disdain, pointing with his toes at the things the students brought, "everywhere you make me lose face." The classmate laughed "wow", and said in a hurry: "Who is a petty citizen?"

"Who is a petty citizen?" "you're so funny!" Hou Bo signaled everyone to keep quiet.Luoyang said: "Okay, stop yelling. You are all petty citizens, not only that, but you are also promoting everywhere, telling others that your teacher is also a petty citizen." "It's right now, our teachers are petty citizens." A boy said. "Small citizens don't buy flowers." A girl continued, "I don't buy fruits either. Small citizens buy canned food." Everyone laughed again, and Luoyang laughed too. "Then let's open all the things brought by the small citizens, and invite Doctor Hou to taste it too." After Luo Yang finished speaking, the boys rushed over together, opened the fruit, first handed it to the teacher and Hou Bo, and everyone began to eat together.Hou Bo felt benign jealousy again, this time for the students, because he had never been with any teacher like this before.

"Have you confirmed the substitute teacher for next semester?" Luoyang asked. "No. Anyway, it's a substitute teacher. If we love someone, we won't make it difficult for him. Just don't embarrass you." Gao Tong said while eating. "Don't make temporary calculations." Luo Yang said. The students all stopped eating fruit at once, and they looked at Luoyang in horror. "You don't teach us anymore?" "That depends on whether I can walk out of the hospital. What is the mortality rate of this operation?" Luo Yang half-jokingly asked Hou Bo.

"Are you kidding me!" As soon as Hou Bo finished speaking, the students heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay, no kidding," Luoyang continued, "I am worried that I will be too weak to go to work after the operation. I will call the principal tomorrow to find a good teacher for you. Next year is an important year. You must all pass the exam." University, otherwise I will not spare you, if you have temporary feelings for the substitute teacher now, some of you will definitely fail the exam. And you all know my goal, which is to pass the exam." Luo Yang looked at the classmates seriously after finishing speaking, as if emphasizing The importance of these words.

"If we all pass the exam, then come..." a boy said in a tone, but was immediately cut off by another boy: "Sixty bowls, not ramen, but Erguotou! Do it!" Everyone laughed.A girl walked up to Dr. Hou: "You must not know what the sixty bowls are all about, it's an allusion from our class." She said. "Yes, tell my uncle, old Lotte is cool." Gao Tong said. "One night, during evening self-study, Lao Luo came in, frowned and glanced at us, as if we were all terrible." The girl said while performing, "Then Lao Luo asked suddenly, there was no two dollars in his pocket. Hands. Six students have raised their hands."

"It's seven." Another corrected. "Yes, there are seven. Then Lao Luo said, come out and follow me. When they walked to the door, Lao Luo frowned and said to the rest of the people, what are you foolish about, come along. Lao Luo sent us We were led to a stretched noodle restaurant, and we were all dumbfounded when we entered: all sixty bowls of stretched noodles were set up, and they were still steaming. We were all so hungry that we immediately started eating like crazy. I will pay for the money, and pay the rest at the counter." "The few of us discussed it earlier, and shouted together: demand equality and oppose abuse," Gao Tong went on, "Lao Luo couldn't help it. We ran out while shouting, and the boss asked Lao Luo for money. Lao Luo There are 119 yuan in the pocket, and one less is given to others." "It's all scoundrels," Luoyang said. "I hope that all of you will be admitted to college, so that you can repay the teacher's deep friendship with sixty bowls of noodles." "If they are all-rounded and admitted to university, I will close my eyes when I die." Luo Yang said. "Don't keep saying that, it's unlucky." A girl said angrily. "Okay, I won't talk about it, but you must help those who are behind, don't just think about yourself. Help others take a little time, don't worry too much, God will see it all, and he will be with you when the time comes I will help you during the exam." Several boys surrounded Luoyang and left the conference room.Luo Yang stood at the top of the stairs and watched everyone go down.Standing next to Luoyang, Hou Bo looked at the reluctant students and at Luoyang who was trying to control his emotionlessness. For some reason, his heart was sour, even though as a doctor, he didn’t think Luoyang’s operation was beyond normal. Danger. "I didn't have parents since I was a child, so I might be able to get along well with anyone. I didn't have the warmth of a family, but it made me communicate well with the crowd." Luoyang looked at Hou Bo's curious expression, and explained a few words like this. They walked back to the ward together. On the way, Luoyang asked Hou Bo one thing: tell him after the operation plan is confirmed.Hou Bo agreed without thinking too much. Liu Yun left the hospital half an hour early. She just bought a few fruits at the fruit stand in front of the hospital, and then walked to the bus station as usual.While waiting for the bus, she looked at her watch and couldn't decide whether to take a bus or a taxi.She can arrive on time by bus, and she can arrive early by taxi. In the afternoon when she was at work, she received a call from Wu Gang, who asked Liu Yun to go to the train station at 5:30 in the afternoon, and arranged to meet at the third platform.He briefly said that he had dealt with all the matters and left to Beijing tonight to meet another person, and then flew to Shenzhen together, because the matters in Shenzhen were very urgent. Liu Yun didn't expect Wu Gang to leave in such a hurry, the sadness in his heart seemed to be caused by the parting of a colleague, it was so heavy that Liu Yun wanted to cry.She once told Wu Gang not to pity her with emotion.Only now did she truly understand that it was with this kind of help that she got to where she is today without collapsing.Knowing this, on the one hand, made her ashamed, she hoped to have the opportunity to explain to Wu Gang, and sincerely expressed her gratitude again; on the other hand, when she understood the importance of this help, she began to cherish it psychologically. to lose it all... Liu Yun was at a loss. She hoped to see Wu Gang sooner, but was worried about meeting a large group of Wu Gang's friends there.She knew Wu Gang was a man with friends.She decided to wait for the bus. A smart taxi driver spotted the hesitant woman, he slowed down and honked at her, and Liu Yun got into the car. When Liu Yun came to the third platform, she thought she had made a mistake.Not only was the platform empty, but there were no trains staying on the tracks on both sides.But she immediately saw Wu Gang standing far away from the platform waving to her.Liu Yun walked towards him, saw Wu Gang standing alone with two big boxes, and said in his heart: "Thank you, driver." They approached and greeted each other, embarrassed again.Wu Gang immediately explained why everything was in such a hurry, saying that he thought they would still have a chance to have a meal together.Liu Yun interrupted Wu Gang, she said that she could understand that Wu Gang had too many things to deal with, and she said that she hardly believed that one person could do all this in such a short time. "Sold after death?" Liu Yun wanted to confirm. Wu Gang looked at Liu Yun, then nodded.Liu Yun also nodded, she knew this made Wu Gang sad. "I hope I will open a bar again when I get old, and call it behind me." Wu Gang said with a smile to Liu Yun, and then said with emotion, "Now when I look back, how many things happened in the bar!" "But the person who opened the bar just left." Liu Yun hoped to ease the atmosphere. "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Liu Yun wanted to ask Wu Gang why he left the city, but immediately corrected his thoughts. "Have you thought about it for a long time?" Liu Yun changed the question. "You mean to go to Shenzhen?" Wu Gang asked, and Liu Yun nodded. "I just heard the letter when I told you." "You changed your life without even thinking about it?" "I seldom think about it, just think about it, not to make a decision. Sometimes I think it's fun to think about things." Liu Yun still looked at Wu Gang with some puzzlement. "Just do what you want, it's useless to think too much." "Yes," Liu Yun said enviously, "the key is that you know what to do." "You know that too." Wu Gang said seriously. Liu Yun smiled reluctantly, which made Wu Gang feel that her smile was a bit sad.So he wanted to encourage Liu Yun: "When life is unsatisfactory, any opportunity thrown from outside should be seized. In the worst case, it will be as unsatisfactory as before." After Wu Gang finished speaking, both of them laughed.It is fair that life allows everyone who has experienced it to say two sentences similar to aphorisms. Wu Gang's train came in, and the number of people on the platform gradually increased.Wu Gang shook hands with Liu Yun, and urged Liu Yun to go back now.He said he didn't want to say goodbye to each other endlessly.Liu Yun gave him the fruit, and he said it was great, but he didn't buy it.Liu Yun made him happy, but she was also sad about the moment of the final breakup. She controlled herself. "You are on a business trip as a revolutionary colleague, and I will definitely come back often." Wu Gang said casually. "Okay, take care all the way." Liu Yun took one last look at Wu Gang, then turned and left. Another train started slowly, and drove out of the platform with a roar.Liu Yun reached out to wipe away the tears on his face... When Liu Yun returned home, he sat on the sofa and didn't want to cook or eat.She stared blankly at the various "defective" furnishings in the living room, feeling empty in her heart.Looking at the home destroyed by Geng Lin, she wasn't particularly sad, just like she wasn't overly excited when Geng Lin smashed it, it didn't seem to be an important thing to her. However, Wu Gang's departure took time away from her. She is no longer particularly excited about Geng Lin, it's not that she understands Geng Lin now, but she didn't before.What she gradually discovered was that in her past married life, she always thought she was a career-oriented woman, but the marriage changed, and her role as a wife disappeared, and she almost collapsed. "What have I done all these years?" she asked herself now, and the answer emerged: she was just a wife.If what happened now instead of her husband running away and she was fired from the hospital, she would be sad, but not collapsed, and then retreat home to be a better wife. However, thinking did not bring Liu Yun strength, she was still immersed in the vacuum of Wu Gang's departure.After all this happened, she had to admit once again that Wu Gang played a role she didn't expect, especially after he left, she felt this more clearly. Liu Yun got up and called Peng Li, but no one answered.She lay back on the couch again, trying to take a nap before eating.But just as she lay down, disturbing past events appeared in her mind again, some things she thought she had forgotten.Liu Yun knew that she would lose sleep again tonight. Liu Yun struggled to sit up, his whole body was weak, and he didn't know what he could do.She saw a small wooden doll brought from Japan standing alone on the stereo, and her heart trembled strangely.Another small wooden doll was smashed by Geng Lin.She suddenly grabbed the little wooden doll and ran to the balcony.When she opened the balcony window and wanted to throw the little wooden doll down, she gasped, closed the window quickly, and hugged the doll tightly into her arms. She didn't understand why she wanted to break the doll just now, but when she put the doll back in its original place, she suddenly understood.If she dropped the doll, she might jump too.In her long gaze at the poor doll, she was drawn to relief.People don't have to suffer in pain. Sometimes people suddenly lose the strength to stop the boundless weakness and emptiness and the desert where there is no hope. "I'm tired and I don't have any energy anymore." Liu Yun returned to normal, and she sat next to the little wooden doll.The clock on the wall chimed.
