Chapter 1152 Because You Are Hope
"Teacher Jiang... Xiaoman has a fever! Go check it out!"
Jiang Tong changed her clothes and shoes and followed the children to the girls' dormitory.
The tungsten filament light bulbs hanging on the dormitory wall flickered, the room was dim, and Xiaoman was lying on the wooden bed, feeling cold all over.
Jiang Tong touched Xiaoman's forehead, it was burning hot...
"Kids, do you have a thermometer here?"
The children shook their heads...
Jiang Tong was helpless. Xiaoman's head was so hot, it must be over 39 degrees.
"Is there any cold medicine or fever medicine here?"
The children still shook their heads. Usually when they had a fever, Mother Ning would boil a bowl of ginger and scallion water for them and let them drink it and sleep all night.
It was too late. Jiang Tong really didn’t want to go into the dark kitchen, and she remembered that there was no ginger in the kitchen!
Jiang Tong took Xiaoman to stay with her for one night first.
Jiang Tong almost didn't sleep all night, taking care of Xiaoman and cooling the child down physically.
As dawn approached, Xiaoman still felt cold all over.
"Teacher Jiang, don't worry about me, I'm fine..."
"No, how can I ignore you?"
Jiang Tong thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to town to get the injection! I'll talk to Xiaohan and the others when it's daybreak."
Because Xiaoman had a high fever that wouldn't go away, Jiang Tong wanted to take her to the town's clinic. Xiaohan was the oldest among them, so Jiang Tong asked Xiaohan to take good care of her younger sisters while she took Xiaoman to town.
"Teacher Jiang, it takes five kilometers to get from school to town. We have a bus here, but it only runs twice a day, one at 7 a.m. and one at 5 p.m."
It was the first time that Jiang Tong saw a bus that only ran twice a day.
And there is only one car...
So she had to be back before five in the evening.
Seeing that it was already six o'clock, Jiang Tong took Xiaoman to catch the bus without further delay.
Soon, her feet were sore from rubbing. Jiang Tong couldn't bear to think about it. These children had to walk so many miles every day. It was not easy for them.
"Xiao Man, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon..."
"Teacher Jiang... Injections are very expensive in this town... I don't have any money."
"It's okay, I have money."
In fact, Jiang Tong didn't bring much cash when he came.
She didn't expect the signal to be so bad. Ning Jianan told her not to bring too much cash to avoid being robbed.
So Jiang Tong only brought one thousand yuan in cash. She thought she could pay with her mobile phone, but she was thinking too much.
The signal here is simply isolated from the world.
After waiting for a long time, they finally got on the bus. The road was bumpy, and Jiang Tong hugged Xiaoman and let her lean on her arms.
The child's forehead is still hot...
As the sun gradually rose, Jiang Tong once again saw the endless mountains and the steep winding road.
Nandi was too prosperous. She lived in a wealthy area full of high-rise buildings. Until she experienced it herself, she felt like she had come to another world.
But now that she's here, she has to try her best to do something, right?
Ning Jianan didn't come back, she couldn't just leave, Jiang Tong hugged the girl who was still running a fever tightly in her arms...
After many twists and turns, it was already noon when they finally arrived at the town's clinic. A kind villager showed them the way, and Jiang Tong took Xiao Man inside...
The doctor in the clinic took Xiaoman's temperature. There were not many people today and there was an empty bed. Xiaoman lay on the small bed with an IV drip.
"Are you hungry? I saw some buns for sale outside. I'll go buy some. Wait for me."
In fact, Jiang Tong was also hungry.
The little baby in my stomach seemed to be very hungry and kept protesting.
Jiang Tong was sleepy and hungry along the way, but she couldn't let herself fall, so she kept holding on.
Jiang Tong bought four meat buns and two bowls of rice porridge and brought them back to Xiaoman. She saw Xiaoman lying on the bed wiping her tears.
After spending a few days together, Jiang Tong discovered that Xiaoman was a very thoughtful and sensitive girl. She always silently saved the delicious food for her younger sisters.
"Teacher Jiang..."
Xiaoman's tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Thank you for being so nice to me..."
Jiang Tong wiped away her tears and helped her sit up. “Stop crying, get up and eat something!”
Xiaoman couldn't move one of her hands because of the IV drip, so Jiang Tong helped her open the lid of the rice porridge, and a rich aroma filled her face.
"Come, try a meat bun, it's still hot!"
"Teacher Jiang, I don't want to eat it. You can bring it to Xiaohan and the others."
"You are a patient now and need nutrition. I will buy them for them later."
"..." Xiaoman shook her head. In fact, she often felt that she did not deserve to live and she was just a burden.
Jiang Tong's heart seemed to be pierced by something, piercing the wall in her heart.
"Silly boy, how could you have such an idea?"
"Since I was little... my parents didn't want me. They disliked me and threw me to my grandparents. My grandparents also disliked me. I was just a burden."
Xiaoman had never said these words to anyone, including Nymph.
She was willing to tell Jiang Tong because she liked Jiang Tong very much and trusted her.
Xiaoman cried silently, Jiang Tong wiped Xiaoman's tears. Teacher Ning Fu gave Xiaoman this name, hoping that Xiaoman could have a happier life!
"Xiao Man, you know, no matter what others do, you must love yourself. In fact, I am the same as you. My parents didn't want me since I was a child and left me to my grandparents. But I still don't want to give up my right to happiness."
Xiaoman looked at Jiang Tong in surprise. Is it true?
"Teacher Jiang...you are so beautiful, will your parents also not want you?"
"You are very beautiful too, silly girl. Love has nothing to do with beauty." It can only be said that it is fate.
But can she say that? Talking about fate with a child, of course not.
She hopes Xiaoman can be full of hope for life. She holds the child's little hand and gives her encouragement and strength.
"You are not a burden."
"You are your own brightest light, you cannot hate yourself."
"But..." Xiaoman lowered her head. She felt that no one needed her.
She is a burden.
"Xiao Man, can the teacher tell you another secret?"
Xiaoman held back tears, what secret?
Jiang Tong pulled her little hand over and covered her belly.
She was pregnant, and here came a little baby.
Xiaoman sniffed and said, "Teacher Jiang, I don't understand why adults want to have children..."
“Because you are hope.”
hope……
It was the first time someone said something like this to Xiaoman, and she was moved.
Jiang Tong took the child in her arms and patted her shoulders.
"Promise me that you will live happily, and you will definitely find your own value and meaning. You will definitely be able to radiate your light and heat and harvest your happiness."
Jiang Tong's words were deeply imprinted in Ning Xiaoman's heart.
"Yes! Thank you, Teacher Jiang!"
Seeing the child cheer up again, Jiang Tong smiled and handed her a bun.
"Eat it quickly, it's getting cold."
