haunted pillow

"You don't need to worry about it, you can take care of yourself in the house now." Ai Qiang said, "I also have to go to the family where the accident happened."

She was talking about coming out of the traffic police brigade. In fact, a girl who is still in school, how can she do anything, what ideas can she come up with?After thinking about it for a long time, I can only find a part-time job first, so that my grandma and younger sister can eat at any rate.

On weekends, Ai Qiang went to several places to work, but they didn’t accept child labor at all. She followed behind and begged for help, saying that she was the youngest on the ID card, but her birthday was older. She turned 18 in February this year. After running for several days, I finally found a job helping out in a small restaurant.

It is said that she was hired to do odd jobs, so naturally she has to do all kinds of dirty work, and she is in high school now, so her time is very tight, and she often has to stay up until the early hours of the morning to come back.

It was already past one in the morning when we got home, and there was still a light on in the house. Ai Qiang entered the door. It turned out that grandma was worried about her, so she hadn't fallen asleep yet.

She reported the good news but not the bad news, and said with a smile that it was all right, you don’t know, the boss said that every night after ten o’clock, I would be paid double the money.

"Then you don't have to tire yourself out like this." Grandma said distressedly, "You still have to go to school during the day and do your homework when you come back at night. If this continues, how can your body bear it?"

Ai Qiang shook her head nonchalantly, said with a smile that she was fine, and then prevaricated. In fact, how could Ai Qiang dare to tell her grandma that because of her father's incident, their family's bank accounts had already been frozen. For compensation purposes.

It's a stretch right now, and I'm afraid that if I don't think about it, I won't even be able to eat in a few days.

In this way, Ai Qiang got up early and stayed late every day, and often arrived home at one or two o'clock in the morning. After a few hours of sleep, she had to get up and go to school for morning self-study. When I dozed off, I closed my eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

With a "boom", it was the teacher who rolled up the book and slammed it on the table.

Ai Qiang woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, and looked at the teacher blankly.

This is the class teacher's Chinese class. The teacher watched her wake up and couldn't restrain the disappointment on her face: "Ai Qiang, why have you learned to sleep in class recently? The teacher has always seen you as a good student, but recently you have been a little Relax, this is already high school, if you want to get into a good university, you have to start working hard in the first and second grades, if this continues, how can you get good grades in the college entrance examination?"

Ai Qiang nodded ashamedly, expressing that she knew, but as soon as the class teacher left, there was a snort of laughter from behind her desk.

Ai Qiang didn't need to look back to know that it was her cousin, that is, the daughter of Ai Qiang's uncle's family.

This cousin is the same age as her, but her birthday is older than him, so the two of them are in the same class in the same school, but the relationship between Ai Qiang's father and this uncle is not good, so even the relationship between their cousins ​​is also very bad, especially her. This cousin, in a school, competed with Ai Qiang everywhere, picking her thorns.

My cousin is different from her. My uncle’s family owns a factory, and the business is still booming, so her life is also very good. She often has brand-name clothes and jewelry that young girls are looking for. The girls surrounded her and praised her repeatedly: "The color of your lipstick is beautiful. Is this the latest Chanel model?"

"You really dare to bring this to school, our teacher is so strict, let's see what you do if she catches you"

The cousin waved her hand nonchalantly: "I'm still afraid of that old witch."

While showing off the famous brand lipstick to them, she glanced at Ai Qiang from the corner of her eyes, the corners of her pretty eyes and brows showed off.

At this moment, a boy entered the classroom and shouted, "Ai Qiang?"

The cousin's expression changed immediately.

The boy walked towards Ai Qiang: "Have you taken down the notes from last class? Can you lend me a look?"

As soon as he came over, the voices of the girls next to him became quieter, and some of them couldn't help but secretly turned their faces away to look at him, obviously blushing, but put on a look of indifference.

The boy's name is Li Tian, ​​because of his handsome appearance, he can be said to be a man of the hour in this high school, there are quite a few girls who like him in private, but Li Tian didn't look at them, just walked straight towards Ai Qiang.

Ai Qiang's family conditions are not good, so she dresses very plain every day, but she is very beautiful, with long black hair tied into a ponytail, and her body is full of vigor like a lotus.

The cousin's face darkened all of a sudden, and within a few seconds, she approached her with a smile like a flower: "Li Tian, ​​why are you looking for her? You see, she was sleeping in class just now, and she was woken up by the teacher." , how does she have time to make notes? Why don't you come to me and I'll lend it to you. "

Li Tian smiled: "No need."

At this moment, he saw that Ai Qiang had already packed her schoolbag and went out.He quickly chased after her: "Ai Qiang? Wait for me!"

The cousin stared at his back, bit her lip, and left two shallow marks on the newly applied lipstick.

The Dragon Boat Festival is half a day off this afternoon. Ai Qiang is in a hurry to get out of school. She just wants to help out at the restaurant where she works. After wiping it all out, I said goodbye to the boss and went home. My sister was already waiting at home, waiting for her to go home and cook.

"It's a holiday at noon today, and the school doesn't care about lunch." She said.

Ai Qiang was full of guilt: "I'm so hungry, my sister will cook right away."

As she said, she put down her schoolbag and was busy. The younger sister took out the paper and showed it to her: "Sister, look at me and I got No.1 in the exam again today."

With a bright red 100 points on the top of the test paper, Ai Qiang was both surprised and delighted: "That's great, let me see what reward I'm giving you."

Their dinner is pickled vegetables with steamed buns.For dinner, she went to a nearby canteen and bought a [-] yuan ham. When she came back, she fried it in oil. It was delicious. My sister was very happy and ate it. Take a sip: "It's delicious!"

Said and handed it to her: "Sister, you eat too!"

Ai Qiang said with a smile: "Sister ate outside, you can give it to grandma."

The younger sister then jumped off the stool and ran to the back room. She cleared the table and was about to sweep the floor and wash the dishes when she suddenly heard her sister shouting, "Grandma? What's wrong with you, grandma? Are you okay?"

Ai Qiang put down the bowls and chopsticks and rushed into the room: "What's wrong?"

As soon as I entered the small door, I saw that grandma's whole body had fallen to the ground, as if she had fallen off the bed, her whole body was twitching, and her face turned a terrible purple.

She was startled, and hurriedly told her younger sister to get the medicine quickly. Although her younger sister was still in primary school, she often helped her elder sister take care of her grandma, so she was very clever. She immediately ran to the drawer next to her and brought Suxiao Jiuxin Pills for her grandma to eat.

The condition of the old man was very bad, his face was livid, and he seemed to be unable to breathe. It was not until he took the medicine that he seemed to be getting better. Ai Qiang and his sister helped her back to the bed, brought water for the old man to drink, and told her to Take care of grandma first.

She hurried out of the back room, hurried to make a phone call, and called the hospital's ambulance. Fortunately, the ambulance came quickly and sent the old man to the hospital as quickly as possible. She also asked her younger sister to wait in the corridor outside first. , I followed the past with my medical records, showed the previous medical records and the films I had taken to the doctor, and told the doctor that the old man has always had a bad heart. He had undergone heart bypass surgery a few years ago, and the effect of the surgery was very good at that time. Yes, I have been taking medicine since then, and I am in good condition. I don't know how it suddenly became like this.

The doctor looked at the medical records, his expression gradually became serious, and he paused and said, "I'm not optimistic, if you can't, go to the hospital and have a look. I'll ask someone to make room for you."

Ai Qiang was silent, of course she wanted her grandma to be cured, but a day in the hospital would cost at least tens of hundreds of dollars, how could they afford it now.

The doctor saw her embarrassment: "If it is inconvenient for you to be hospitalized, I will not force you, but your old lady will have surgery sooner or later. It's better to discuss."

Ai Qiang asked cautiously: "If you have an operation, how much will it cost in total?"

The doctor looked at her and felt sorry for her: "If you don't have insurance in this situation, you can only say that you have at least 10 yuan on hand to cope with it without difficulty."

The next morning, Ai Qiang didn't even know how she got out of the hospital. She went to the hospital counter to pay the money, took out the last dozen or so change, and called a taxi to take her grandma home. At home, I was relieved when I saw them come back and confirmed that grandma was fine.

The old man took the medicine and fell asleep on the bed in the inner room. She opened the door curtain and came out and said to her sister, "I'll get you something to eat. Go to school early after eating."

The younger sister nodded sensiblely, and Ai Qiang went to open the cabinet under the induction cooker to take out the rice to cook porridge, but when she went to the sink and turned on the faucet, she found that no water came out.

She went to pull the hanging rope of the electric light again, but the light did not turn on, because the water and electricity bills were not paid, and the water and electricity were cut off.

"........."

She covered her mouth with her hands, stood up and said to her younger sister, "I'm going out to buy something."

As he walked out the door, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell, so he squatted down outside the threshold. After a while, his sister came out and asked in surprise, "Sister? Are you crying?"

"...it's okay."

Ai Qiang wiped her eyes: "I didn't sleep last night, I was a little sleepy, and I couldn't open my eyes a little bit, wait, let's go out to buy food in the morning."

The younger sister nodded, Ai Qiang stood up, patted her on the head, and then got up and walked out.
