Annihilation of the solar system

Old Liu lit the cigarette in his hand, and the flickering flame of the lighter reflected two traces of tears that had not yet dissipated on his old face with crisscrossed grooves.

"I didn't go to work the next day. I had to do a bone marrow puncture before the operation. Children of Chaowen's age had to have their parents hold him down to complete it. In the past, a needle as thick as a knitting needle penetrated his spine from the waist.

He always cried heartbreakingly, and his mother and I held him tightly on the hospital bed with tears streaming down our faces.

But this time, the 5-year-old Chaowen was lying motionless on his side on the hospital bed. His body trembled slightly when a needle penetrated his young spine. He grabbed the blanket of the hospital bed with both hands without making a sound.

The sound didn't even move.

Seeing him like this, my heart almost broke. I released my hands holding his hands and feet, gently stroked his head and said, 'Son, cry out, it won't hurt so much.'

Chaowen endured the severe pain without making a sound, but his body shivered more violently. I saw in his eyes the kind of tenacity that transcended his age.

When the puncture needle was pulled out from his body, he was already covered in sweat. He raised his little hand and called me to his mouth, and he said weakly: "I will treat patients obediently in the future, and I will never let it happen."

Mom and dad are angry, so mom will come back faster, right?"

I quickly raised my head and looked at the ceiling. When I gathered my emotions and prepared to answer his questions, I saw that the nurse who was treating his wounds was already crying. I carried his body of less than 30 kilograms back to the ward, and I felt so sad.

Like falling into a thorn bush."

Lao Liu was choked by the smoke he inhaled and coughed several times. He shook the ashes and continued.

"The subsequent surgery was successful. After a period of recovery, I returned home with Chaowen. From then on, Chaowen became more sensible. I go out at 5 o'clock in the morning every day, and often can't go home until after 12 o'clock in the evening.

, he always takes good care of himself.

The medicines I need to take every day are sorted and put away by myself. He will put the medicine bottles at the door to remind me that it is time to buy medicine. He can even make hot food and eat it by himself, which makes me feel relieved.

At the same time, I also felt deeply guilty.

Children of the same age are all in kindergarten, but Chaowen can only stay at home. Firstly, his body is still very fragile and he is more likely to get sick in kindergarten. Secondly, I really don’t have more money to pay his kindergarten tuition.

, every thought in my mind at that time was to save enough medical expenses for his heart surgery when he was 7 years old."

When they said this, both Zhou Cheng and Shen Manling looked at the father who had experienced the wild torrential rain with admiration. But at this time, the previous gloom on Lao Liu's face swept away, revealing a rare trace of

Smile.

"Although I was very tired every day at that time, Chaowen's physical recovery and understanding made me feel that everything I paid was worth it. My child will definitely have a sunny tomorrow. But sometimes when he is sick, he asks me about it."

I'm almost healed, why hasn't mom come back yet?" I didn't know how to answer.

Things got better day by day after that. When he was seven years old, his height, weight and physical indicators were close to the level of a normal child.

I took the savings I had saved over the past two years and went to the hospital to check for congenital heart disease. The test results made us, my father and my son, experience unprecedented happiness and joy. It felt like suddenly falling asleep under an electric blanket in the middle of the night when it was freezing in the winter.

.

I still clearly remember what happened that day. The old professor who took great care of us kept fanning the air and smoking cigarettes one after another regardless of his colleagues in the same office. I watched him repeatedly for several years.

Regarding the cases in the previous article and the results of the examination in the past two days, I kept mumbling, 'This is wrong, it was not a misdiagnosis before, why is it gone now'.

Finally, after studying for nearly an hour with other doctors, he took a thick stack of cases and examination reports. First he pinched Chaowen's cheek, which had no flesh, and then said in a tone of voice to a child, "Chaowen, doctor

Grandpa is telling you seriously now that your illness has been cured and you don’t need to come to the hospital again!'

Both Chaowen and I were shocked at first, and then Chaowen pulled me hard, which hurt me. Only then did I realize what the old professor meant just now. I repeatedly confirmed the situation and made sure that we heard

The news is true. We walked out of the hospital amidst the blessings of doctors and nurses.

I took Chaowen to eat hot pot for the first time, and I also drank my first glass of wine in four years. But before I went home and fell asleep that night, Chaowen asked about my mother again, and I could only use a kind word.

Lies deceived him."

The gloomy atmosphere was gradually dispelled as Lao Liu told the story.

"This is incredible!" Shen Manling's words were a little excited.

Old Liu nodded and continued:

"I also feel that God has favored us. After repeatedly confirming that Chaowen's condition has recovered, I used most of the money I saved over the years to return it to those who lent me money when it was most critical.

, I also went door to door to respond to the rest.

I also went to Chaowen's mother's house, but they had moved, and I haven't found it yet, and I didn't deliberately look for it. Then Chaowen entered elementary school according to school-age children. I don't have to work so many part-time jobs every day.

, I can take care of my child's study when I go home at 9pm. It was still very difficult for my child to study at first.

The teacher often comes to see me. After all, he did not study at all before entering elementary school and was struggling with illness. After the teacher learned about the situation, he understood the situation very well and gave the child free tutoring every day. Later, the child's study was on the right track, and every time

The test scores are always improving steadily, so I don't have to worry more about his studies. I work as planned and work part-time to pay off my debts.

He is also more sensible than ordinary children. His house is always tidy and he has never mentioned his mother to me. But I know that he is still thinking about his mother. Sometimes when he comes home after working late at night, he is already fast asleep.

Occasionally I can hear him talking in his sleep and calling for his mother.

Later, life got better and better, and I even bought a second-hand old-fashioned car. I was engaged in mechanical maintenance and operation, so I would often make small toys for him on the lathe, and I would also make some for him on his birthday.

It’s something like a very exquisite, fully simulated car model.

One of the greatest pleasures of our father and son is studying the car models I made for him. He seems to have a strong interest in this aspect. The construction principles of cars and machinery are always easy to understand. He also likes to make them

I drove that old car and took him out for a ride on the weekends."

When Lao Liu reached the end of his story, the sad atmosphere that had filled the room was basically gone because of the relatively happy ending. Shen Manling carefully wiped the undried tears at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief:

"Chaowen's childhood was really miserable. Fortunately, he overcame it in the end. You and your son experienced such a disaster together. The relationship between father and son should be very strong. Why did Chaowen's character suddenly become like this?"

Old Liu sighed and said nothing. Zhou Cheng felt unbelievable:

"At Chaowen's age, he suffered from congenital heart disease, leukemia and brain tumor at the same time. This is very rare in the history of world medicine, let alone being cured."

"It's not rare, it's a precedent that has never been recorded." Shen Manling added.

"When Chaowen fainted at the National Physics Conference, I read his physical examination report in detail. There was no trace of such a serious disease in his body." The disbelief on Zhou Cheng's face deepened.

The living room fell into silence. The story of Liu Chaowen's childhood growing up told by Old Liu cast a mysterious veil over his extraordinary abilities. This also made Zhou Cheng, who believed in the law of cause and effect, even more certain that there must be someone behind Liu Chaowen. A secret that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"I know you will go on a mission with Chaowen tomorrow, and I just want to ask you to help me find out what happened to Chaowen. Now I have no way to communicate with him." Old Liu said to Zhou Cheng. In words In the second half of the episode, his voice became increasingly deeper and trembling.

Zhou Cheng looked at this man who had gone through years of suffering and nodded knowingly.
