1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 392 I will pay for all expenses of this little girl!
"Incurable? No! Absolutely not!"

The pale-faced girl held the little girl tightly in her arms, her fingers turning blue and white from holding her clothes too tightly.

Among the treatment and prevention plans told by the doctor, there is actually one that is the most cost-effective and effective method.

The patient is placed in a dark room without lights, and the room can only be brighter when the weather is clear and there is plenty of light, as the curtains cannot block out the light.

Or when you go out, wear a light-blocking patch on both eyes, or wrap your eyes with a cloth.

This is also the helpless choice of many people with albinism when they do not have the money to wear UV-proof glasses.

But this is tantamount to becoming a blind person with sight.

Thinking of this, despair gradually began to appear in Xu Li's eyes.

Even though she knew it wasn't realistic.

Xu Li squatted on the ground, holding her sister who had stopped crying, and looked up at her adoptive mother. She cried in a hoarse voice, "Mom! Can you..."

She bit her lip and couldn't continue before she finished speaking. She could only pray and put her last glimmer of hope on her adoptive mother.

Zhu Xizhi, the adoptive mother who had remained silent for a long time because of the medical expenses, was so shocked when she heard her adopted daughter's cry of "Mom" that sounded like a cuckoo's blood-curdling cry that she couldn't even stand steadily.

"I... Xiaoli..."

Zhu Xizhi opened her mouth, not knowing how to start. Should she agree or...

She had waited so long for this word "Mom", but she never thought it would be in this situation...

She had adopted Xu Li three or four years ago. For a long time, this lovable, obedient, sensible and excellent adopted daughter had never taken the initiative to call her and her husband "Mom and Dad".

At first they had some complaints, but as time went by and they got to know each other better, they realized that their daughter was introverted and not good at speaking.

In fact, her daughter is a very sensible girl. She often helps with housework and sometimes prepares meals early for her and her husband to come home for dinner.

The neighbors all praised her for raising a good daughter. When Xu Li passes the college entrance examination, she and her husband will enjoy a great life.

Gradually, Zhu Xizhi and her husband came to understand their daughter and her feelings. After all, words of "dad and mom" may be deceiving, but the dependence and warmth in her eyes cannot be deceived. She really treats them as family.

Otherwise, Zhu Xizhi would not have been willing to take leave to take her daughter's sister to Union Hospital for treatment after learning that her condition had worsened.

You have to know that the registration fee and various examinations such as vision, retina, blood tests, etc. are not a small number.

Zhu Xizhi just calculated that she had just spent 10.60 yuan. The total amount she and her husband spend is only over 50 yuan a month.

If it could be cured, she and her husband would grit their teeth and do it.

But lenses that can truly provide protection need to be imported, and the cost is as high as four or five hundred yuan.

The ones with poor effects need to be replaced every month.

It's almost a bottomless pit.

Zhu Xizhi actually likes the little girl Xu He very much. She is fair-skinned, with a cute and pretty face. Although her hair and eyebrows are different from those of ordinary people, they are just a little strange and not scary.

He was silent for a long time, thinking about it.

Zhu Xizhi lowered her eyes and stood frozen in place.

"Hey……"

The doctor standing by looked at the adoptive mother and daughter looking at each other in silence and sighed secretly in his heart.

And during this long period of staring at each other, Xu He gradually became desperate, and gradually calmed down, as calm as death.

She understood what her adoptive mother meant.

Although Xu Li could not accept such a result, he could not accept that his sister would have to stay in a small dark room from now on, and could only wear an eye patch to cover her eyes even when going out.

But... this is the best the adoptive mother can do at the moment.

Although Xu Li was young, her tragic life experiences since childhood and her tenacious character made her sensible and mature at an early age.

The cost of forty or fifty yuan a month is simply not affordable for an ordinary working class family.

She was very grateful to her adoptive mother for taking her in and bringing her home, allowing her to go from being a lonely orphan to having a home. Even though this family was not wealthy, her food, clothing, housing and transportation were no worse than those of ordinary people, and were even better.

Moreover, after adopting her, they did not, like other adoptive families, explicitly prohibit the adopted child from continuing to contact the orphanage and her relatives there.

Her adoptive parents tacitly allowed her to visit and help at the welfare home. Knowing that she was visiting her younger sister, they also gave her extra pocket money to buy snacks and candies for her younger sister.

Xu Li is not an ungrateful person, she is very grateful to her adoptive parents.

After calming down, I was able to understand my adoptive mother's dilemma and silence.

"Huh...Mom, let's go back."

After a long silence, Xu Li took a deep breath, picked up his sister with neat and tidy movements, stood up straight with his slender body, and spoke calmly.

"Xiao Li...you, are we not going to treat you?"

Zhu Xizhi looked at her terrifying daughter who seemed somewhat calm, and asked subconsciously.

"It's incurable. Didn't the doctor say that as long as he stays away from the sun, he will be fine. I will never give up on Xiao He. As long as I am still alive, even if I have to keep Xiao He in a small dark room, I will let him live like a normal child!"

Xu Li's voice was exceptionally calm, but there was an extremely firm meaning in his calmness.

Zhu Xizhi was extremely embarrassed and raised her head while gritting her teeth and said, "I, Mom will also do my best to help Xiao He!"

"thanks Mom."

Xu Li let out a long sigh, lowered his head and touched the eyebrows curled up in his arms, "Let's go back."

After saying that, the three of them were about to turn around and leave.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind.

It sounds warm and there seems to be a sense of vitality hidden in it.

When Xu Li heard the voice, he took a step forward, and his naughty little feet suddenly stopped in the air.

like……

"It seems to be... Brother Kaiyan?"

A figure suddenly flashed through the mind of the weak and timid girl. Although they had only met a few times, his gentle, peaceful, thoughtful and considerate appearance was really heartwarming.

After Xu Li read "My Neighbor Totoro" written by Brother Kaiyan, he felt closer to him.

She and her sister both felt that Brother Kaiyan was very much like the image of their father whose memory had long since become blurred.

The girl turned her head subconsciously, and a tall figure broke into her field of vision.

It's really him!

But how come Brother Kaiyan appeared in the hospital by such a coincidence?

Xu Li's thoughts flashed like lightning, and she suddenly remembered the promise that Brother Kaiyan made to her in the welfare home not long ago.

If Brother Kaiyan is really willing...

The girl couldn't help but hold her breath when she thought of this, and watched the young man approach step by step with burning eyes full of anticipation.

The young heart began to beat rapidly.

She seemed to come alive.

The sister in his arms was like a little animal at this time, crawling out of his arms. The little girl looked up and her pink eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Long time no see, Sister Xiaohe, do you still remember me?"

Cheng Kaiyan slowly approached from behind, her cherry pink and golden brown eyes meeting each other. Cheng Kaiyan reached out and touched the little girl's face, which was much thinner than other girls of her age.

"Whee!"

The little girl's depressed and pitiful pale face suddenly smiled, with a pink flush, and she shouted crisply, "It's big brother! Look, sister!"

"Sister saw it."

Xu Li patted his sister's back lovingly, then looked at Cheng Kaiyan and greeted her softly, "Kai, Brother Kaiyan..."

"Little carp."

Cheng Kaiyan suddenly felt that this girl’s nickname sounded a bit like her sister Xiaoli, Xiaoli, Xiaoli.

He was a little closer.

But he didn't want to reminisce with the two little girls. Cheng Kaiyan looked at the doctor who had been standing aside for a long time and the middle-aged woman with a pale face, "The doctor and the little carp's adoptive mother, right?"

"you are?"

The doctor and Zhu Xizhi asked in unison.

"I'm Cheng Kaiyan, the older brother of the two little girls." Cheng Kaiyan briefly introduced himself and announced in a calm tone, "I will cover all of Xiao He's medical expenses."

"what?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, whether it was the compassionate doctor or the guilty Zhu Xizhi, could not help but be shocked and their emotions were in turmoil!
When the bewildered Xu Li and the ignorant and pitiful Xiao He heard what the gentle and considerate big brother said, infinite surprise blossomed on their stunned little faces. It was the surprise and relief of being suddenly saved after being about to fall into hell.

What followed was an unbearable soreness in the eyes and nose, and the two sisters shed hot tears almost at the same time.

"Huh... Comrade? Are you telling the truth?!"

Zhu Xizhi came back to her senses, grabbed Cheng Kaiyan's arm and asked anxiously.

"Yes! Comrade, think clearly. Xu He's medical expenses are not a small number. I hope you will do your best even if you are doing good things. You should listen carefully before making more plans, okay?"

The male doctor asked in a serious tone, as if advising Cheng Kaiyan not to act stubbornly.

There was just some worry in his eyes. It is very cruel to give patients hope and then take it away.

"I'll bear all the expenses."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded seriously and emphasized it again.

"Huh...Comrade Cheng Kaiyan! Your decision will save a young child."

The doctor felt relieved, and his expression of doubt and worry turned into admiration and respect.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Zhu Xizhi thanked him repeatedly, bending down and bowing as he did so.

The two sisters on the side were still immersed in their emotions and at a loss, but at this moment they only had one thought in their minds.

No need to be locked up in a dark room...

……

After talking with everyone, Cheng Kaiyan understood the girl's condition and took out a hundred yuan as a deposit. The entrusted hospital could import glasses like this one, and now they prepared a pair of low-resistance glasses for the girl to wear first.

Everyone returned to the clinic, and after a series of tests, the doctor asked them to come back in three days to pick up the glasses. In addition, the imported glasses would also require help from the Rockefeller Medical Society in the name of Union Hospital, which would take about a month.

It was already half past eleven.

Cheng Kaiyan held the little girl in her arms, and went downstairs with Xu Li and Zhu Xizhi, and told them her plan: "Aunt Zhu, I hope you can adopt Xiao He."

“This… can…”

Zhu Xizhi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but when she thought about what had just happened, she felt extremely guilty.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, to be honest, I also like Xiao He very much. I am willing to adopt Xiao He!"

"Thank you, Mom, but I know the situation at home. Xiao He and I are not the type to bother others. Let's just forget it, shall we?"

In this way, he could always be with his sister and take good care of her. Xu Li was very tempted, but still shook his head slowly and declined.

"Although our family doesn't have much income, raising another child would be a little tight, but we can afford it."

Zhu Xizhi looked at Cheng Kaiyan's calm face, as if to express her determination, and there was some expectation in her eyes that she herself could not understand. Perhaps she was expecting whether this young man who had just paid a huge amount of medical expenses would pay again?

Such a thought popped up in Zhu Xizhi's mind, but she soon felt so ashamed of her petty and cheap thinking that she dared not look Cheng Kaiyan in the eye again.

"Then it's settled."

Cheng Kaiyan naturally saw it, but shook her head and didn't take it to heart.

For a shrewd and mercenary middle-aged woman, when she gives up her interests and does good deeds, there is more or less influence from the outside world.

But at the end of the day she is still very kind.

"Can Xiaohe be with his sister now?!"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and clapped her hands happily.

"of course."

Cheng Kaiyan touched the girl's head and nodded gently, "Brother said that all your expenses will be paid by me, right?

Aunt Zhu, don't worry about living expenses. I will cover all of Xiao He's expenses. I will give you 20 yuan per month for Xiao He's daily expenses. Just think of it as taking care of my sister for me."

Zhu Xizhi and Xu Li, mother and daughter, looked at each other in surprise.

"Thank you brother!"

The little girl's cherry-pink eyes were exceptionally bright. She supported her sister's shoulders with her small, slender hands, stood up, and leaned over to give Cheng Kaiyan two big kisses on the face.

Then she quickly shrank back into her sister's arms, shyly and muffledly shouting, "I love my brother the most!"

The little girl's pale face buried in her sister's arms had a hint of shy pink blush on it, adding some color to her unhealthy face.

"Haha, I like Xiaohe too."

Cheng Kaiyan recalled that when she was about to leave the clinic, the doctor suddenly called her and whispered something in her ear, and she sighed softly.

He looked at the low dark clouds and hazy drizzle in the distance.

"It seems... everything that happened today seems to be like the sky outside the window?"

……

After politely declining Zhu Xizhi's invitation to dinner, Cheng Kaiyan stuffed two big unity coins into the little girl's hands and left.

The teacher and Mr. Mao should have finished their chat and it’s time for them to go home for dinner.

Go upstairs and enter.

"You're back Kaiyan, where have you been all this time?"

"I was just walking around and ran into someone I knew and we chatted for a while."

Cheng Kaiyan has a conversation with Mr. Ye.

"Is that so? Let's go back and eat. Come back, Old Ye."

Seeing this, Mr. Mao smiled and waved, said goodbye calmly and watched the two leave.

Now it's time for lunch, and a doctor and a nurse carrying lunch boxes come over to check on me and take care of my meals.

After some inspection.

The female doctor frowned and said, "Commander, I hope you can restrain yourself from chatting like this. It is not good for your body and mind."

Old Mao waved his hands and said, "You're about to be buried, why do you still care about these things?"
After the examination, the nurse started feeding the baby. The female doctor did not leave and continued to sit to prevent any accidents during the meal.

"Mr. Mao, was that young man Comrade Cheng Kaiyan?"

While feeding the baby, the nurse noticed that Mr. Mao looked a little bored, so she took the initiative to talk to him.

"It's Cheng Kaiyan. Why do you like his works too? He is really good-looking after all."

Mr. Mao smiled and nodded, sighing.

"Comrade Cheng Kaiyan is indeed born perfect, even those movie stars are far behind her.

But that's not what I'm talking about. I just met him at Director Huang's place, and Director Huang said that Comrade Cheng Kaiyan did a great thing."

The nurse shook her head and explained.

"Oh?! What's the good news?"

Mr. Mao and the female doctor asked curiously.

"I heard that it was a little girl with albinism in Chaoyang Welfare Home. Because she couldn't afford the treatment fee, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan happened to hear it and went to help.

You don’t know what Teacher Cheng Kaiyan said at that time! "

The nurse's tone rose, she was a little excited, and even the hand holding the spoon was shaking.

"There's this matter? What did Kaiyan say?"

Mr. Mao was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up and asked.

"Teacher Cheng Kaiyan said directly at the time: I will cover all the expenses of this little girl!
so handsome! "

In my opinion, writers like Cheng Kaiyan are the people's writers!

The nurse was immediately beaming with joy, her face full of admiration and respect.

"This kid..."

After listening to this, Mr. Mao had a complicated look in his eyes. After a moment, he looked at the sky outside the window, which was woven by the continuous spring rain. The corners of his mouth slightly raised and he chuckled.
