Returning to the mountains is nothing unusual, the things in the countryside have not yet passed back to this side, and the villagers still do not know that I am the one who really funded the school!

Only at night, the small circle and the small circle came to call me to her house to eat, which made several support teachers envious, because the mother of the small circle was not famous in the village, because the family needed to save to support the two children, not to mention me, even the village chief did not eat their family's food!

To the small circle of the home, the lights are dim, even if the village is lighted, but the light bulb is still reluctant to use the large wattage, have seen a few times the circle mother around the apron, slightly cramped on the apron to wipe their hands, with very non-standard Mandarin let me sit down, and then laugh and say: "home poor, no food, teacher Lin do not mind -"

I looked at the four dishes on the table and smiled and said, "Where, I have heard the little circle say that you killed one of the old ducks you have raised in the family for a long time, and I am too reluctant to go!"

Small circle and small circle, about a few times a year rare to see the fish, only four rubs on the table, but they lie on the table, staring at the table of the roast duck meat for a long time!

There are not many polites, sit down and start, although Aunt Zhou is cramped, but she will drink some wine, but the wine is the rice wine made in my own home, and I also accompanied you to drink a little.

She was mainly grateful, the last time I went up the mountain I did not give up looking for Xiaoyuan, this thing was later told her by the small circle, in fact, she was a little angry at the beginning, when the teacher should not take their children to the mountain.

Aunt Zhou in this life without a husband, in fact, in the village is very ordinary, but only for the two children but poured all the effort, said the child, Aunt Zhou invited me to eat the real intention is slowly revealed out, take advantage of the meal to eat, Aunt Zhou to make two children to wash the dishes, and then from the house to take out a bag, a stack of money arranged very flat out on the table, there is zero ...

I said, “Why are you...?”

"Don't hate, listen to me first..." Aunt Zhou's eyes were red, the money pushed to me, choking a low voice sighed, "I don't know how to be a human being, so even tired of the two children in the village is not pleasing, before the small circle and small circle in the village did not like to be close to people, I never thought of anything else, but..."

Aunt Zhou looked back at the outside, the two children were still outside the wellhead washing dishes, can hear the child's voice, she took out a long-drawn piece of paper from her pocket, and then spread out and handed it to me!

I looked at it, my eyes faltered, this is a diagnosis, I am a medical student myself, this is the conclusion of the county People's Hospital... cervical cancer!

I raised my head and opened my mouth and stared at my aunt: “This...”

Aunt Zhou nodded, looked very nervous and looked back, and her expression choked with his teeth bitterly: “Look at this date...”

I looked down and was diagnosed last June!

“Have you been treated?”My face was full of shock and looked at Aunt Zhou, a nameless feeling of sadness that filled my heart!

Aunt Zhou shook her head and wiped her red eyes and smiled bitterly: "No, I just started to feel uncomfortable last year, last year I really felt uncomfortable, went to the county to check a trip, I don't know that the county to check a body so expensive, with the money are only enough to do the check, where can be cured..."

“Can you apply for treatment?”

Aunt Zhou shook her head: "The life of the people in the village is not good, the low guarantee is so some, I am afraid that there is no light on the face of the child who will grow up in the future, so I will not eat the low guarantee, anyway, I can do some work to make some money..."

“But your illness...”

“Man’s life is destiny!”Aunt Zhou sighed with sadness, "I also thought, but ask, don't say cure, maybe it is a few days in the hospital, all the savings of our family are not enough, I think, leave more for the children, pull them bigger is a little, but this year ... more uncomfortable..."

“Send your hand and I’ll see.”

Aunt Zhou hesitated for a moment, knowing that I was a medical student, this put her hand to give me the pulse, I put her veins, staring at her face and eyes, and suddenly realized that I used to think that Aunt Zhou was born a little whiter than others, but now I understand that it was already very sick!

"Alas..." I shook my head in a complicated way, sighed, "the year before was uncomfortable, last year was diagnosed with cancer, if you go to treatment early, cervical cancer can still be cured, but this year..."

I couldn't say it at all, Aunt Zhou's pulse was so weak that her look so bad, and she didn't know how long she had been hiding it for, and she had been holding on to do all kinds of work in the field.

People sometimes really hold on to one breath, once this breath is deflated, it may really go!

"Mr. Lin, I don't think I can't cure it, but the two children of the circle and the little circle, if I die, they will certainly be looked down on by everyone, but you are different..."

I laughed, “How am I different?”

"The little circle especially likes you, after coming down the mountain that day, he said, you are not afraid of wild boars, and very brave, he said that when he grows up, he will be like you as a man, protect the small circle..."

“Mom, the dishes are washed!”Little circle happily ran in and shouted, the little circle followed behind, holding a pile of dishes in his hand, looking at our side, smiled.

"Oh, small circle, put the dishes, take the little circle out to play, I will talk to you teacher Lin about something..."

The small circle looked at the money on the table, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but he nodded his head and said, but the circle came straight over, staring at the money on the table, and his eyes were slightly straight!

The daughter of Moro mother, Aunt Zhou looked down at the small circle, pettedly touched the little girl's hair sighed, took out a piece of laughter from a pile of money: "Oh, buy sugar to give to your brother to eat it!" 」

“Well...” The little girl took the money and ran away with a smile.

Aunt Zhou shouted to the little circle inside the house: "Little circle, look at your sister, don't let her lose her money!"

“Oh!”The small circle looked at me with a complicated look, and then walked out the door.

“There’s more than five thousand dollars!”Aunt Zhou pushed over and sighed, "This money I have saved for a long time, the family has saved our family every year for the New Year, before their father was in, our family conditions are still OK, but after the death of their dead father, the debt owed outside, all came to the door to rush, I gave it back, but those debts owed to our family, I asked to go to the door...

I pushed the money back and said, “No matter what I say, I won’t want your money!”

"I don't mean that..." Aunt Zhou looked at me, bitterly said, "these two children, do you adopt one, they understand, grow up must have a good, small circle like you, you should help the child..."

“I’ve adopted a little circle, where’s the little circle?”

"Little circle... Xiaoyuan is a girl..." Aunt Zhou's eyes are full of tears, and her eyes are blank, "the villagers will certainly not want to drag the oil bottle like this, I see Teacher Liu's heart is very good, I turn back to ask her, you people outside, are willing to come to us to support, even if you do not adopt children, help me contact the rich family outside to adopt, it is better than let them suffer in the mountains."

I didn't hold back, my nose was a little astring of, and I laughed bitterly: "I may not be able to promise you!"

Aunt Zhou's expression was stagnant, and his face looked at me for a time, biting his lips and saying bitterly, "Even you... don't you want to?"I know, I understand... after all, it’s a bottle!”

I shook my head, “Listen to me, there’s a school in the mountains now...”

"However, they have no father or mother, in the mountains to be laughed at for a lifetime..." Aunt Zhou's tears could not stop flowing down, the shoulders trembled and choked up, "Mr. Lin, you don't know, I don't even dare to cry in front of the child, I just don't want to cry... I just can't bear two children, I ask you for your good?"The little circle is obedient, and he is very admirable to a person!”

"Don't cry, listen to me," I sighed deeply and emotionally complicatedly, "they are the most loving brothers and sisters I have ever met, you don't know that on the day in the mountains, the little circle is not afraid of anything in order to find my sister, such a brother... If he is separated from his sister in this life, do you think he will live happily?"If Xiao Yuan did not have such a brother to take care of, would she be happy in the future?”
