Chapter 17 Section 17

When Li Ping got home, it was already eleven o'clock.She guessed that Yu Dalu must have gone home.Sure enough, there was no more Yu Dalu's car downstairs, so she locked the car and went upstairs without worry.As soon as Li Ping stepped through the door, her mother greeted her with tears in her eyes.Mother grabbed Li Ping, weeping uncontrollably, and handed her a piece of paper with trembling hands. Li Ping had a premonition that something unfortunate had happened. I hate everyone, you all owe me!Including parents, brothers and sisters.I hate that no one loves me or cares about me all these years!not a single one!They all watched me suffer and suffer, and no one cares if I die, so I will die!

I am not happy, I have never felt happy before!Now that I’m back in the city, I don’t even have a job, and the people who keep saying they want to love me for the rest of my life have left me. What’s the point of me being alive?I don't trust anyone anymore either!all fake!It's all lies! ... This is a suicide note!There is no title, no signature, but Li Ping can tell from the trembling strokes and excited words that it was written by her sister! "Your father went to look for her, but he hasn't come back yet..." Mother Li looked extremely anxious. "Mom, don't worry, I'm going out to find my sister." Li Ping put down the letter and ran out of the house.

Where can I find it?It was dark outside and there were very few people.Li Ping remembered the lake when she saw Li Lan today... Li Ping didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and rode quickly towards the school. Although it was already midnight, there were still two couples sitting by the lake and whispering.Li Ping saw that the lake was calm, and wondered if anything happened here... Li Ping asked them if they saw anyone falling into the river, but the answer was no.Li Ping called her sister's name loudly into the lake, but there was no response.She didn't have time to wipe off the sweat from her head, and continued to board the bicycle, riding deep into the campus.

Li Ping was not sure that Li Lan was on campus, but she didn't know where else to look.When she was looking anxiously, she suddenly saw a white dress climbing up the tall chimney in front of her, fearing that she would get higher and higher—that was her sister! Li Ping threw down the car and saw that someone had built a ladder at the bottom of the chimney, and she didn't move away. She quickly climbed up the chimney and approached Li Lan little by little. Finally, Li Ping grabbed Li Lan's ankle: "Sister! Sister... Sister, don't think about it! I promise you! Come down and come home with me, and I will give you the spot, and you will enter the factory instead!"

Li Lan put a foot on Li Ping's head: "Don't lie to me again! I won't be fooled again after I die! I won't be fooled by Chen Bo, and I won't be fooled by anyone..." Li Ping raised her head and said loudly: "I didn't lie to you, sister, if you want, you can also go to the packaging workshop and drive a battery car!" Li Lan wanted to kick Li Ping again, but Li Ping grabbed her feet tightly... The two were struggling, Li Lan missed, screamed, and fell down, Li Ping was also led by her fall down... Fortunately, the two did not climb too high, and there was still a pile of coal under the chimney.The two fell into the coal pile, without any danger.

Li Ping got up from the coal pile, her body and arms hurt a bit, she turned her head and saw her sister groaning in unbearable pain and bowed her body tightly.Li Ping hurriedly brushed off the cinders on her face and body, and hugged Li Lan: "Sister... sister! Where did you break it? Huh?" Li Lan said painfully, "Quickly...take me to...the hospital." Li Ping carried Li Lan to the nearest hospital on her bicycle.The medical staff immediately pushed Li Lan to the emergency room for diagnosis.At this time, Li Ping was also exhausted, holding on to the door frame and panting heavily.

After a while, the doctor came over and said, "The patient needs an operation, can you sign it?" "Surgery? Doctor, what's wrong with my sister?" Li Ping was shocked. "A miscarriage." "Ah? What, how come?...Doctor, is this operation...will it be dangerous?" "You sign after you are optimistic about it. Any operation is dangerous." The first thing to do now is to save my sister!Li Ping signed with trembling hands.Since it was not yet working time and there were not enough medical staff, Li Ping was asked to help in the operating room. This is Li Ping's first time in the operating room.Although she is relatively weak, she has never had a serious illness, has never undergone surgery, and has never seen others undergo surgery, let alone "help".She saw her elder sister lying on the operating table, her face pale, and her body was covered with a white sheet.My sister had tears in her eyes.

"You hold her hand and don't let her move," the doctor told her. The shadowless lamp came on and the operation began.The nurse handed the doctor the forceps for the operation.Li Ping pressed her sister's hand nervously. Li Lan's hair was disheveled and haggard, biting her lips tightly.Li Ping feels sorry for her sister, and she can understand her sister's hurt.Li Lan burst into tears, big drops of tears wet her hair.Li Ping's nose was also sore, she raised a hand to wipe away her tears. At this moment, Li Lan yelled and straightened up, as if about to roll out of the hospital bed.Li Ping hurriedly shouted: "Sister, don't move!" Li Lan couldn't hear it at all, she just bit Li Ping's hand in unbearable pain.

Li Ping wanted to pull out her hand, but she couldn't. She couldn't move too much, for fear of affecting the operation, so she could only endure and persevere... Fortunately, after a while, Li Ping didn't feel the pain anymore. I don't know if it was Li. Lan's body was too weak, and she could no longer use her mouth, but Li Ping was already numb. After an unknown amount of time, the operation was over, and the doctor said it was a success.She accompanied the medical staff to send Li Lan to the ward. Li Lan was too weak and fell asleep.While adjusting the flow of blood and infusion, the nurse said, "You haven't slept all night, have you? Go to sleep for a while. I'll watch over here." Li Ping looked at her sister, turned and walked out.

It's already past eight o'clock in the morning.Li Ping was walking on the campus, a cloud of anger rose in her heart: Chen Bo, he is such an irresponsible man, he made his sister like this!She really wanted to drag him out and drag him in front of her sister to scold him. On campus, college students are moving in several different directions. Li Ping saw the library in front of her, and groups of students walked in.She followed the tide of students into the reading room.In fact, she did not report great hopes, but she was unwilling to give up this possibility. To her surprise, she found this man so easily!Chen Bo was writing something on the paper with his head down, and then showed it to his girlfriend, who smiled and wrote something...

He actually talks about love with a pen so easily here! Li Ping walked over angrily, pulled Chen Bo up, and then pulled him away.Chen Bo was caught off guard and knocked over the chair, and the quiet reading room was thrown into chaos in an instant. Chen Bo moved his crooked glasses: "What are you doing?" Li Ping said angrily, "Don't say you don't know me! Come with me right away and go to the hospital with me!" "You..." "You want If you're a man, you can't leave my sister alone!" In this way, Chen Bo was almost "arrested" into the ward by Li Ping, and came in front of Li Lan. "What's wrong with her? Why is she so sick?" Chen Bo asked with a guilty conscience. "Sister, I brought Chen Bo here. Get up and have a look, he is standing in front of you!" Li Lan slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Bo, raised her spirits and said to Li Ping, "Help me, put him in front of you!" I'll help her up." Li Ping supported her sister on the hospital bed.Li Lan spat at Chen Bo resentfully and contemptuously, cursing: "Beast! Dog!...Bastard!" Chen Bo was speechless, not daring to look at her. Li Lan scolded again: "Get out! I will curse you every day to die! Go to the street and let a car hit you to death! Take a bath and let the water drown you! Turn on the light and let the electric shock kill you! Go to hell!" Li Lan Weeping, she wanted to rush towards Chen Bo like a lunatic, but was hugged by Li Ping. She knew that her sister was still weak and not easy to move. Chen Bo backed away in fright, and ran out of the ward as if fleeing. Li Lan took a breath and lay down again, her eyes became blurred.After a while, she talked to herself about a bird with a broken wing that she met in the country. "I came across it on the first day I went to the countryside. In front of the landlord's house, there was a pagoda tree full of white flowers. The landlord told us that the flowers of the pagoda tree could be eaten, but we didn't believe it at the time. The landlord picked it. The next bunch, eat it. We picked it and ate it too. The locust tree flowers are delicious and sweet... The landlord’s child can whistle, and he said that he can attract birds by whistling. Don’t you believe it? , he booed. He climbed up the tree, put two leaves into his mouth, and blew a series of bird calls, which really attracted several small birds. One of them was golden in color with a red crown on its head. It stood On the branch, it's chirping at us..." Li Lan stopped suddenly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Li Ping was attracted, and asked: "What happened next?" "Later, it was shot down by a slingshot, fell from the tree, and jumped right in front of my eyes, but it didn't die, and its wings were injured... It I tried to fly again several times, but couldn’t fly, just flopped and turned in circles, I couldn’t bear to see it, so I picked it up and put it on the kang to raise it..." Li Lan said, slowly Slowly closed his eyes. Li Ping seemed to feel something, she was a little afraid, but she couldn't help asking: "Then... what happened next?" one time. "I've died once too... I died and came back to life!" Li Lan suddenly grinned, mockingly. According to the regulations of the hospital, abortion can only be done after a certificate from the family planning department.But this time, the doctor on night shift saw that the patient had signs of hemorrhage, so he did not ask for a certificate and performed the operation.However, the proof must be supplemented.This is what the head nurse specially emphasized in the ward. Li Lan and Li Ping knew very well that they couldn't get it, and they couldn't issue a certificate.While the doctor was dealing with other affairs, Li Ping helped her sister and hurried out of the hospital.On sister Li Lan's leg, blood was flowing. Li's father and Li's mother were sleepless all night, Li Jincai smoked one cigarette after another, and Li's mother kept crying, and they were waiting anxiously.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mother Li hurried up to open the door. Mother Li saw that Li Lan was pale and looked seriously ill, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What's wrong with your sister?" Li Ping helped Li Lan to lie down on the bed, and said, "Mom, give my sister Buy a black-bone chicken and make soup for her." "Buy black-bone chicken... make soup? Lan Lan, you..." "Dad, Mom, I had an abortion." Li Lan smiled mockingly. With a "snap", Li Jincai slammed the large enamel vat that had been for many years on the ground again: "You...you...you! This is not married yet, just... this is fine! If the cigarette factory People who know about it, have not broken the backbone of our family!" Li Lan lay there, still sneering: "Dad, if you shout louder, the whole building can hear it!" Mother Li seemed to be reminded He hurried to the window and closed it. Li Ping pulled Li Jincai to persuade him: "Dad, stop talking! Let my sister recuperate first..." Li Jincai said in a rough voice, "What kind of illness do you have? You still have the face to live? Ah?!" "I just One death, Dad, one death is enough! Let alone you, I will live well even if others do not let me live in the future! I want to live a good life! Whoever refuses to let me live, I will Who is so mad!" Li Jincai was so angry that he trembled all over: "You...you..." "Li Ping, you promised to let me replace you in the factory, right?! You won't lie to me, right? Then I'll just wait It's gone!" Li Jincai was furious, he rushed over and was about to grab Li Lan from the bed, but Li Ping desperately pulled him back. Li Ping dragged her father to another room, made him a pot of tea, and persuaded him to calm down.Li Jincai took a breath and took a sip of tea, but it was too hot, so he vomited it out again. Li Jincai asked Li Ping angrily, what happened to Li Lan's replacement into the factory just now.Seeing Li Ping hesitating, he became anxious: "Your brother and sister are not up to date, and I won't point at them anymore! Xiaoping, dad is pointing at you now! This family is pointing at you too! You don't care what you say." You can’t leave the cigarette factory! If you leave, Yu Dalu won’t be able to decide who to marry! Xiaoping, it’s hard to find this relative with a lantern! Don’t be half-hearted! Dalu wants to get married on November, and I’ll help you I agree!" Li Ping was shocked!She knew that her father liked Yu Dalu, but she never expected that her father would decide her own marriage on his own initiative.She angrily expressed her disapproval of marriage, and told her father that she wanted to marry a soldier, not Yu Dalu! Li Jincai was also annoyed: "Marry a soldier? Which soldier can be better than Dalu? He is now the director of the workshop! In two years, he will be the deputy director of the factory! Just think about how big our family will be by then." Why are you so ignorant? Ah? Why are you as ignorant as your brother and sister? This family... this family, do you still want to live on?" Li Jincai was so angry that he almost collapsed! Li Ping walked out of the house quickly, ignoring her father's scolding.She knew it was time for her to make a decision.The original confusion was suddenly clear at this time - marrying a soldier, yes, I was supposed to leave the factory and let my brother enter the factory instead, but now my sister... Giving the quota to my sister will undoubtedly bring my sister a way of life. Let's go, the house doesn't have to be crowded... Li Ping looked at her watch, it was already noon, and she was going to take Jin Ying on a blind date today.She hurried to Jin Ying's house, trying to explain everything to her...
