Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

Shen Yan left just like that, and Li Shi'an felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

That day, Fu Xiaotong just woke up, babbling without knowing what she was talking about, pulling Li Shi'an's finger to put it in her mouth, Li Shi'an gently tapped her nose and said: "He won't come back, just It's just the two of us."

The door was pushed open, and Li Qishan came in and said, "The person who adopted Xiaotong has been found. There is a worker couple in the factory who have been married for 8 years and have no children. They want to adopt her."

There was a dull pain in Li Shi'an's chest. He knew that sooner or later such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It was less than a month before Shen Yan left.

He said: "Let me take her there, I want to see what kind of family it is."

Li Qishan thought for a while and said, "Okay."

The next day, Li Shi'an took Fu Xiaotong and Li Qishan to the couple's home. The family conditions of this family were very average, but the couple seemed to be honest people.

Li Shi'an taught the woman how to change diapers, how to take care of the baby's small nails and ears, how to mix milk powder, how to squat on radish when the child cries, why to squat on radish, and how to make white noise. Confessed and confessed.

These were originally taught by Shen Yan, and he babbled, like a father who is about to be separated from his child, because he knew that after Xiao Tong sent him away, his last contact with Shen Yan was severed.

"Let's go." Li Shi'an finally said to Li Qishan.

Li Qishan nodded and handed the child's adoptive mother a backpack: "This belongs to the child's mother. She has been with her since arriving at my house. It contains her birth certificate and other documents."

The woman nodded and took it.

Time passed quickly, and the first semester of the third year of high school passed quickly. Li Qishan still wanted to plan a trip during the winter vacation, but Li Shi'an refused on the grounds of studying.

He went to see his grandparents, and soon it was Chinese New Year and his birthday, but Li Shi'an didn't feel anything special.

Li Qishan gave a big red envelope, Li Shi'an took the red envelope and went to see Fu Xiaotong the next day, and then gave the red envelope to the child.Fu Xiaotong grew up a bit, and she felt heavy in her hands, but unfortunately, she no longer knew Li Shi'an, and as soon as Li Shi'an hugged her, she cried and looked for her mother.

Li Shi'an spent most of this winter vacation at home doing quizzes. When he was tired, he would often stare at the swimming pool downstairs in a daze.

But no one would dance there anymore. In the room, the hourglass that Shen Yan gave him made a small sound, until the sand flowed away, and the city inside seemed to be covered with a layer of white snow. Li Shi'an turned it over again.

The Chinese New Year to the college entrance examination is actually a blink of an eye. Li Shi'an successfully passed the university entrance examination. There is no Shen Yan in the graduation photo. He randomly put the photo in a book and never looked it up again.

There are many schools in X City. Li Shian's school is not the best, but it is not bad. When he went to the school to report on the first day, he was not in a hurry to admire his own university, but went to the university that Shen Yan had planned to take. , He took a photo of the university gate, thought about it, but didn't know who to send it to.

When he first entered college, everyone inevitably felt a little out of the sea of ​​suffering, and Li Shi'an was no exception. He lived in a muddle-headed way every day, and made friends at school, but he still had a lot of contact with Lao Xie, and Lao Xie also passed the exam. In X city, he became an honorable male nurse in the second college. He and Li Shi'an made an appointment to have dinner together when they had free time. The two of them were no different from those in high school.

What broke this tranquility was the National Day in the first semester of freshman year. Li Shi'an originally didn't plan to go back to City D, but that afternoon when he returned to his dormitory, he received a call from the couple who adopted Fu Xiaotong. They were talking on the phone Li hemmed and hawed, and it took a long time to explain that Xiaotong and the others couldn't support them anymore.

"What do you mean you can't keep it anymore?" Li Shi'an still heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

"Let's meet up so that we can explain things clearly." The woman said on the other end of the phone.

Air tickets during the National Day period were hard to find. Li Shi'an had already obtained his driver's license at this time, so he rented a car and drove back to City D overnight to the couple's house.

Under Li Shi'an's repeated questioning, the couple told Li Shi'an that Xiaotong could not hear in both ears.

"When did you find out?" Li Shi'an asked.

The woman said: "This child has been crying and shouting, but he doesn't like to respond to people, and he can't call mom and dad. We didn't think much about it at first. After all, many children learn to call people very late. She is not now. Can she already walk? One day she walked over the balcony, and the clothes drying rack fell down behind her. I was scared to death, but she didn't hear it, and turned her head to smile at me. I just thought of this If there is any problem with the child, I will take it to the hospital for an investigation, and if it is congenital sensorineural deafness, it will cost hundreds of thousands to implant a cochlear implant."

"So you're planning to get rid of her?" Li Shi'an couldn't believe it.

The man suddenly said: "It's not that I don't want it, but I can't afford it. For a family like ours, the money earned throughout the year is just enough for expenses, and it's okay to see a minor illness. But it costs hundreds of thousands. Where can I get it? Doctor He also said that the operation should be performed as soon as possible, otherwise the child will have difficulty learning to speak in the future, but he also said that after the operation, there is no guarantee that he will be able to hear, and rehabilitation will be required later. In short, we are also very happy. Difficult."

Seeing Xiaotong playing on the side, Li Shi'an felt powerless.

The man suddenly said again: "We have raised a child for so long, and we actually have feelings for her. It doesn't mean that we don't want her, but you see, if you can think of a way for this money, we are still very willing." The child stays here."

"Then have you contacted my dad?" Li Shi'an asked the man.

The man avoided his eyes, shook his head and said, "Didn't we consider the young people to be more talkative? We haven't told the factory manager yet."

Li Shi'an suddenly paid attention: "Then if I pay the money, is it you borrowing it or giving it away?"

The man glanced at the woman who was wiping tears aside, then looked at Li Shi'an and said, "We really can't afford to borrow it, so let's change her to a better house."

Li Shi'an finally understood that this family only wanted to raise a healthy daughter who would not cause trouble. When he personally sent Xiaotong into this kind of family, he was considered blind.

In fact, even if he paid the money, he didn't really intend to ask the couple to pay it back, but people's hearts really can't stand the temptation.

"I understand," Li Shi'an nodded, "If you have no problem, I will take the child away now."

The woman cried and tugged at the corner of the man's clothes: "Say something, can we pay back the money slowly?"

The man said: "Don't think about it, it's hundreds of thousands! I don't know if it can be cured, and I don't know how many bottomless pits will be filled in the future. How can I pay it back!"

Li Shi'an was no longer in the mood to look at their parents, so he got up and walked up to Xiao Tong, and took a puppet to tease her. Xiao Tong was not as obsessed with babies as he was when he was a baby, and seemed to like Li Shi'an very much.

Li Shi'an opened his arms to her, and Xiaotong stood up and rushed towards him.

When leaving, the woman took out the bag Xiaotong brought when she first arrived, and a small suitcase.

She sent Li Shi'an out, crying as she walked, and when she got to Li Shi'an's car, she said, "Xiaotong brought this at home. It belongs to her biological mother. Let her take it away. I never use this bag." However, the documents and everything are inside."

Li Shi'an held Xiaotong in one hand, took the bag and threw it into the car, and put Xiaotong's luggage in the trunk.

Xiaotong thought that the woman would also get in the car, so she clapped her hands and opened her arms, wanting the woman to hug her, but the woman turned away, not daring to look at the child, and cried, "Let's go quickly."

Seeing the woman carrying her back and not hugging her, Xiaotong cried out with a "wow", babbling in out of tune.

Li Shi'an was a little soft-hearted for a while, and he said to the woman: "Don't you have my WeChat? I want to see Xiaotong post videos in the future."

Li Shi'an put Xiaotong into the back seat of the car and drove towards home.

Li Qishan bought a new house after he went to college, and sold the original house. The community was more remote and farther than the previous one, and the house was bigger.

Xiaotong started crying in the back seat, but fortunately fell asleep while crying.

Li Qishan was not at home when Li Shi'an carried the child home, and fell asleep after the child was settled.

When Li Shi'an woke up the next day, she found that Xiao Tong had already woken up. She sat on the bed and concentrated on playing with Qu Ya's bag, and her documents were all over the bed. Li Shi'an scolded: "Naughty ghost."

Then get up and clean up.

When he was packing up, he found a box of medicine, Paxil, in the pile of things.

Due to wear and tear on the medicine box, the instructions on it could no longer be read clearly, and the instruction manual was gone. Li Shi'an took out his mobile phone to check the medicine, and found that it was for treating depression.

There are also two medical cards of the city's No. 1 civilian hospital in the pile of things.

Li Shi'an thought for a while, and called Lao Xie's number. Lao Xie's sister, who was a purchasing agent, returned to work in China. She is a doctor by profession and is in the No. 1 civilian hospital.

He asked Lao Xie for his sister's phone number, and the two made an appointment to meet at the hospital.

Lao Xie’s sister is named Xie Jiang. Xie Jiang is 12 years older than Lao Xie. She is completely different from her younger brother Lao Xie. The same mother and father have different fates, and I am talking about Lao Xie.

He handed the box to Xie Jiang, and asked, "I want to know, will the baby's hearing loss be caused by taking this medicine during pregnancy?"

Xie Jiang took a look at the medicine Li Shian handed over, and quickly gave the answer: "It is possible, but not completely sure. Among ordinary people, there are 3% of severe deformities, and 10% of mild deformities, so It’s hard to tell if you’re taking medicine or not.”

Li Shi'an handed over the two medical cards again: "Then can you check the medical records of these two cards for me?"

Xie Jiang held up his glasses and asked, "Are you a family member of the patient?"

Li Shi'an said, "No."

"Inquiring about a patient's situation for a non-family member is a serious violation," Xie Jiang said in violation of the regulations, but she quickly swiped the card on the card reader. She glanced at Li Shi'an and said, "Everything about this patient is a serious violation." The medical records are all in the psychiatric department."

"Then can I find her medication records?" Li Shi'an asked.

Xie Jiang glanced at the computer screen and replied, "Just the medicine you just brought, you started taking it about three and a half years ago."

Li Shi'an was thoughtful, has Qu Ya always had depression?Was she also taking this drug while she was pregnant?

Xie Jiang continued: "Then I stopped for about seven or eight months and didn't come to see a doctor. I don't know the specific reason."

It was because of pregnancy, Li Shi'an knew in his heart, he asked: "Does your hospital prescribe this medicine for pregnant patients?"

Xie Jiang said: "I haven't come to our hospital at that time, but I can tell you for sure that I won't. Generally, in order to avoid risks, doctors will try not to give medicines to a pregnant woman who has no serious problems, unless it is a particularly safe medicine, but Now there are many pharmacies outside, and this medicine can still be bought.”

Li Shi'an suddenly took out the two boxes of medicine from his bag, and the worn-out boxes could be vaguely discerned. The date of production was exactly when Qu Ya was pregnant.

The pregnant doctor didn't prescribe medicine, so Qu Ya should have bought it from a pharmacy outside. At that time, her depression must have been very serious, right?Li Shian thought.

Xie Jiang had already swiped another medical card through the card reader while he was thinking, "This one belongs to a child." After speaking, she glanced at the quiet Xiaotong in Li Shi'an's arms, her expression changed, "Only Two diagnosis and treatment records, one examination and one follow-up, the diagnosis is bilateral severe sensorineural deafness."

Xiaotong had been diagnosed with deafness long ago?Li Shi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Xie Jiang, "Can I take a look?"

Xie Jiang turned the screen around, and Li Shi'an saw that the date of diagnosis on the screen was exactly two days before Qu Ya's death.

He suddenly remembered what Shen Yan said in the dance studio. Shen Yan said that Qu Ya told him that she could not be sorry to Xiao Tong, but also to him.

So Xiao Tong was the straw that crushed Qu Ya?

Li Shi'an's heart trembled violently.

"Any other questions?" Xie Jiang asked suddenly.

Li Shi'an came back to his senses and said, "No more."

"This child is so quiet, it must be because he hasn't had surgery yet?" Xie Jiang lay down on the chair with folded arms, and gave Li Shi'an a very professional smile, "Hurry up, otherwise the later training will be very hard."

Li Shi'an nodded. After thanking Xie Jiang, he went straight to the ENT department. After a series of examinations, he didn't go home until it was dark.
