It was so hot, Qiao Nan felt like she was on fire, her whole body was so hot that she was about to be burned to ashes.
After struggling for a long time, Qiao Nan finally opened her eyes. What she saw was not a snow-white ward, but an old and familiar room.
"Mom, Nannan is sick, does it really not matter if we don't care about her?"
"It's okay. Your sister is thick-skinned and has a tough life. This disease alone won't kill her. And she will start school the day after tomorrow. It would be better if she is sick, so she can't sign up."
Thinking about her eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi figured that if her younger daughter missed the opportunity to register because of illness, if she coaxed her to death, she would definitely give up school and go work to make money.
"Mom, this watermelon is so sweet. You should also take a spoonful." After hearing the satisfactory answer, Qiao Zijin smiled and fed Ding Jiayi a mouthful of watermelon.
After hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, Qiao Nan, who was suffering from a high fever, finally knew where she was.
She returned to the Qiao family twenty-five years ago, to the year when she had a high fever at the age of fifteen and missed the registration deadline, and was coaxed by her mother to study wrongly and work part-time to earn money to support Qiao Zijin!
That year, it rained heavily the night before Qiao Nan had a high fever. Because it was autumn rain, the weather was particularly cool after the rain.
Qiao Nan clearly remembered that she was covered with a quilt when she slept at night. When she woke up feeling uncomfortable, cold and lively, all the quilts were at the end of the bed.
During this period, Qiao Nan vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have been in her room in the middle of the night, when it rained the hardest.
In the end, not only was Qiao Nan not covered with a quilt, but even the window next to the bed could be opened.
If not for this, Qiao Nan would never have caught a cold or had a fever.
In her previous life, Qiao Nan had always thought that someone had been in her room, and she had closed the window before going to bed. When she woke up, the window opened by itself. It was all an illusion, and she had misremembered it because of her illness.
But at this time, Qiao Nan didn't think so anymore.
Someone must have been in her room "last night". Not only did he lift her quilt, he also opened the window specifically to make her sick so that she would miss the registration time for the start of school!
Just when mother and daughter Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were enjoying themselves and enjoying their family life, there was a "bang" that shocked the mother and daughter.
"Nan, Nannan?" Qiao Zijin, who was holding half a watermelon and munching happily, his face froze, and the hand holding the spoon was embarrassed, neither putting it down nor lifting it.
Seeing the half watermelon in Qiao Zijin's hand, Qiao Nan laughed to herself.
Qiao Zijin was spoiled by their mother and had been domineering and selfish since childhood. Qiao Zijin had a bad habit of eating watermelon. He liked to eat half a watermelon alone with a spoon.
But now it is the 1980s, and conditions are not as good as they will be in the future, so every time Ding Jiayi buys watermelons, she tells Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang that she only bought half of one.
But now Qiao Nan saw with her own eyes that Qiao Zijin was holding half a watermelon and eating it.
Qiao Zijin can eat half a watermelon, but if it falls on Qiao Nan, she can eat a bunch of watermelons, even if Ding Jiayi gives her face!
"You damn girl, what are you kicking at the door? Who are you trying to scare to death!" Ding Jiayi, who had no guilty conscience at all, made a look on her face, pointed at Qiao Nan's nose and started to curse.
Qiao Nan held on: "I have a fever, where are the antipyretics?"
"You've already taken the antipyretic medicine, and it's gone." Ding Jiayi's eyes flashed, and she felt a little guilty when she mentioned the medicine.
Ignoring Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan went to find the medicine herself. In her previous life, she almost developed meningitis because she didn't take the antipyretic medicine in time. She had a severe fever and didn't send her to the hospital in time.
It was also because of this that the family had an extra expense because of her illness, which made her believe her mother's words and really thought that all the money at home was spent to treat her illness. That's why she had no shame to continue studying. He chose to study wrongly and work to support Qiao Zijin.
"You damn girl, what are you looking for?!" Qiao Nan's search for medicine angered Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi grabbed Qiao Nan's hair with her left hand and pulled it back, and slapped Qiao Nan's face with her right hand.
The "pop" sound was astonishingly loud.
Qiao Nan's ears buzzed after being slapped. Her face didn't hurt, but her nose was so sore that the nosebleeds flowed like an open faucet, directly staining Qiao Nan's collar red.
"When you are sick, just go back and lie down, and you still want to be a demon!" Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Nan had no physical strength, so she wanted to drag Qiao Nan back to the room and let Qiao Nan continue to sleep. Anyway, she didn't give Qiao Nan medicine. eat.
If the dead girl's illness is cured, she will definitely go to school and waste the family's money.
Ding Jiayi just wanted Qiao Nan to be unable to go to the field until one month after school started if she couldn't afford it.
Want to take medicine? There is no way!
At this time, Qiao Nan saw through Ding Jiayi's plan. How could she give in? She pushed her head against Ding Jiayi's body.
This one didn't hurt, but it was so unexpected that Ding Jiayi was startled and let go of her hand holding Qiao Nan's hair. Qiao Nan took the opportunity to run out.
"Damn girl!" Ding Jiayi, who was a step too late, stamped her foot a few times: "If you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life!"
Seeing Qiao Nan resisting for the first time, Qiao Zijin was shocked: "Mom, what's wrong with Nan Nan?" In the past, didn't Nan Nan just listen to what mom said
"Ignore her." Ding Jiayi patted her eldest daughter's hand and didn't care: "She has a fever. Instead of staying at home to have a good rest, she ran out and deliberately sought death."
Qiao Nan, whose head was burning badly, just wanted to run out, but she had no idea what to do after running out.
With a "boom", Qiao Nan felt that she had bumped into someone. Her nose, which had not stopped bleeding, became more sore and uncomfortable, and tears started to flow down her face.
"Be careful." The man's hoarse voice, which even in June had a chill in it, entered Qiao Nan's ears. Qiao Nan leaned back and put an arm as hard as iron around her waist.
After Qiao Nan stood firm, she shook her head three times before her mind became clearer. When she looked up, she saw a pair of eyes as cold as blades.
"Are you having a fever?" The man frowned when he came into contact with Qiao Nan's abnormal body temperature. Then he saw the bloody nosebleeds on Qiao Nan's collar, and his lips as thin as a knife pressed into a straight line: "follow me."
Qiao Nan just followed the man in a daze, and didn't come back to her senses until she was sitting on the soft sofa.
"Fever-reducing medicine." The man's cold voice came, handing out the medicine in one hand and holding a cup in the other.
Thinking of her own situation, Qiao Nan took the medicine from the man's hand without any pretense, swallowed it, and then raised her head to look at the man's appearance carefully.
The man is very handsome, with a face with sharp angles, thick eyebrows that exude a sense of awe and righteousness, a straight nose that is straight and high, and a serious look in his eyes that can easily make people shy away. The beautiful thin lips pursed in displeasure for unknown reasons, making Qiao Nan couldn't help but feel nervous.
