Author 丨 Yan Gongzi Editor 丨 Water Tsing Yi
This is an old work, the original manuscript is 2500 words. When I was quite complacent, I met the water girl. With a big stroke of the pen, she cut out 700 words directly. Later, I was amazed to find that there was nothing missing, but more wonderful than the original. The worship of her also began from this.
Today I have revised the third edition and republished this story, hoping to touch the softness of your heart, but also let you and I cherish the people and things around you that are worth cherishing.

Seven-year-old twin brothers Zhou Zhiwen and Zhou Zhiwu look almost exactly the same.
If you wear the same clothes and stand without saying a word, even if you are a family member, you may not be able to recognize each other at first sight.
But just like their names, the older brother Zhiwen is quiet and well-behaved, and the younger brother Zhiwu is mischievous and active. In addition, there is a significant difference between the two brothers: the older brother is left-handed.
In the heart of her mother Liu Zixuan, she obviously prefers her brother Zhiwen.
The two brothers are in the second grade of elementary school, in the same class. Zhiwen is diligent and studious, quiet and steady, and is a member of the study committee in the class; Zhiwu is just the opposite, with poor grades, fighting and nonsense, and is the troublemaker in the class.
To this end, the couple did not teach Zhiwu a lesson, but with little success. Liu Zixuan's heart was broken, and when his heart was exhausted, he even thought: If he only had One son, Zhiwen, I was afraid that it would be much easier.
Having said that, after all, Zhiwu is the same as Zhiwen, even if he is naughty and mischievous, he is also his own son, Liu Zixuan and her husband Zhou Zhenping usually try to achieve a bowl of water duanping.
Only occasionally being angry, Liu Zixuan couldn't help but slam the next sentence: "Why can't you learn from your brother?" No matter what, Mom doesn't like you anymore! ”
Whenever this happened, the sensible Zhiwen would always come over and speak for his brother. And Liu Zixuan was always annoyed afterwards, he shouldn't actually talk to Zhiwu like that, for fear that it would deepen his misunderstanding of his brother.
What she didn't expect was that she would never have another chance to worry about it.
That bad luck came unexpectedly.
First People's Hospital, 5th floor, outside the operating room.
Liu Zixuan and her husband, parents, and in-laws were fidgeting at this time, waiting for the verdict of fate.
On the cold operating table separated by a wall, Zhiwen and Zhiwu lay quietly on it.
An hour ago, she and Zhou Zhenping led their two children to the supermarket. Because Zhiwu wanted toys, Liu Zixuan insisted on not buying them, and the child suddenly yelled: "You are eccentric, like your brother, don't like me!" ”
Then, pulling out the leg, he ran into the street.
Brother Zhiwen saw this and followed him. Zhou Zhenping shouted loudly, but in horror saw a black car roaring past and crashing into the two brothers.
In a moment of despair, the couple saw Zhiwen take a swift step to the left and struggled to block in front of his brother...
The car hit Zhiwen first, and then the momentum did not decrease, knocking Zhiwu over as well.
The two little beings who were still alive and kicking immediately collapsed in a pool of blood.
The door opened. Faced with six pairs of panicked eyes, the surgeon briefly introduced the situation and asked the couple to make a choice immediately:
Zhiwen has a serious brain damage and is barely able to save his life, and the best result can only be a lifelong vegetative person;
Zhiwu suffered many organ damage, the most serious of which was atrial rupture, extreme edema of the heart, and the inability to circulate blood on its own.
Fortunately, because of his brother's key moment, he himself landed on his back, and his brain was basically not damaged. If a heart transplant were performed now, there might be a glimmer of life.
And this heart happens to be ready-made, from Zhiwen, who has just been declared brain dead.
The doctor's face was heavy: "Do you choose to save your brother or your brother?" ”
Liu Zixuan's body trembled violently, she never thought that in her lifetime, she would have to face such a cruel and heavy choice.
The six adults cried outside the operating room, and everyone knew that the best result of saving Zhiwen was only a vegetative person, whether it was for him or adults, this ending was too cruel.
And Zhiwu may recover, no matter from which point of view, how to choose is almost obvious, but no one can bear to say that sentence.
Time passed coldly and they had to make a decision right away.
Zhou Zhenping sighed, silently took a few steps to the left, folded back, swallowed hard, and said: "Zhiwen was brave enough to block in front of his brother, he has been... Made a choice for myself. Let's respect your child's decision. ”
In this way, Zhiwen's heart was transplanted into Zhiwu's body.
The operation went well, and three days later Zhiwu woke up and called Mom and Dad, looking normal.
Zhiwen's body has also been cremated, and the matter has been completed.
The adults were worried about irritating Zhiwu, and no one dared to mention his brother in front of him. Fortunately, Zhiwu didn't seem to remember the car accident at all, and he never asked his brother where he had gone.
During his time in the hospital, he was very cooperative with the instructions of the hospital and his parents, which made Liu Zixuan feel a little more comforted, only hoping that after this disaster, the only son would become sensible.
After being discharged from the hospital, Liu Zixuan found that Zhiwu had indeed become different.
He was quiet and silent, no longer as mischievous as before, speaking courteously and politely, and behaving more and more like Zhiwen.
This used to be something that Liu Zixuan had been looking forward to, but now, she felt more and more frightened.
Because, it's so much like that!
Sometimes if she didn't deliberately remind herself, she would even have such an illusion: the little figure who walked towards her was obviously Zhiwen, not Zhiwu!
At first, Liu Zixuan thought that Zhiwu's injuries were not healed, and he missed Zhiwen excessively, so there were some psychological factors. But one day she received a phone call from her teacher, saying that Zhiwu didn't know what was going on recently, and that the homework and test papers were written with Zhiwen's name.
The teacher asked him how he could write it wrong, and he just smiled and didn't make any excuses.
The teacher added that, however, Zhiwu's current performance is the same as that of the previous judgment. Love to learn, not blind, really gratifying.
In the double emotion of relief and doubt, during dinner that night, Liu Zixuan noticed something in horror.
I saw that Zhiwu naturally picked up the chopsticks with his left hand, skillfully clipped a pea, and put it in his mouth.
Liu Zixuan turned his face to look at Zhou Zhenping, whose face also changed. Apparently, the husband noticed this detail too.
The whole family is obviously only Zhiwen is left-handed!
Her body trembled slightly, and she slowly stood up and slowly walked to Zhiwu, and many emotions gushed out at this moment.
"Child, you... result...... you...... Are you Zhiwen, or... Zhiwu? ”
She stared at her son, her voice full of uncertainty.
Zhiwu looked at her, then turned his head to look at his father, and was silent for a long time.
"Mom and Dad, if you want to choose... Do you want me to be Zhiwen or Zhiwu? ”
