Ah Hua seemed to be frightened by Ah Gui's words.

She stood there and looked at her brother with tears streaming down her face, her lips trembling as she tried to say something, but she didn't say anything.

After a long while, she said in a calm tone: "What do you know about you little child? Whether I want to study, whether I want to go to work, that's my business, what's your business?"

Ah Gui and Liu Qingshan were both stunned.

No one expected Ah Hua's attitude to change so quickly.

Ah Hua stretched out her hand and pushed Ah Gui to the ground, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?

"Ah Hua, how can you talk like that?" Liu Qingshan pulled Ah Gui up, looked at the unfamiliar Ah Hua and asked, "How can you say such a thing?"

"Otherwise, what should I say? Do you want me to talk to a child who hasn't graduated from elementary school?" Ah Hua looked at Ah Gui and said, "Tan Agui, look at your current appearance, you really don't look useful now, you can't work, your studies are getting worse and worse, people like you can't do anything." ”

"Ah Hua, that's enough. Liu Qingshan really couldn't listen to it anymore. How did this once sensible girl suddenly become like this? He looked at Ah Hua with an incredulous expression and said, "Ah Gui is your younger brother, how can you say that about him?"

"I'm still light on him. Ah Hua still looked indifferent, "A person like him could have studied hard and had a way out, but you see that his grades are regressing one after another now, what future can he have in the future? ”

"Ah Hua!" Liu Qingshan couldn't help it, he slapped up, and almost slapped Ah Hua in the face, but in the end he didn't slap it.

Ah Hua glared angrily at the raised palm and sneered: "Look, he will only hide behind others." ”

After that, she looked at Agui again and said coldly: "Tan Agui, if you don't want me to look down on you, if you don't want to be a wreck, you should read your books and be nosy, otherwise, from today on, you will no longer be my brother, and I will never want to see you, even if you fall ill and are hospitalized, I will never go to see you." ”

When she said these words, it was like a sharp knife against her chest, cutting at the flesh of her heart little by little.

How could she say such a thing? She didn't know.

But she knew that the final result was either that she dropped out of school, or Agui dropped out of school.

Although Ah Gui didn't say anything, she knew Ah Gui too well. With Agui's intelligence, it is impossible for his grades to suddenly regress so quickly. If this happens, there is only one reason. Agui doesn't want to study anymore. And the reason why he doesn't want to study is obvious.

As an older sister, she must not allow this kind of thing to happen. Therefore, even if she wants to say some cruel words, even if she wants to make her brother sad for a while, she must be a bad person like this witch.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Hua couldn't hold back any longer, turned her head and ran away.

Agui stood in place in a daze, and his whole person was demented.

It all came so fast and so violently that he wasn't ready for it at all. However, all of a sudden, it happened unexpectedly.

"Agui. Liu Qingshan helped Ah Gui and looked at the direction where Ah Hua left, and couldn't see Ah Hua anymore, "Go back first, go back and talk to your mother about this matter first, and then see what to do." ”

For now, it seems that this is the only way to do it.

Back home, Agui's mother hasn't come home yet.

Ah Gui sat on the threshold of the hall in a daze, looking at the distant blue sky in a daze.

He wondered, what could he do to stop this? It seemed that there was only one way.

After waiting for a while, when it was almost dark, Agui's mother returned home.

On the phone, Liu Qingshan had already told Agui's mother about Ahua, and thought that Agui's mother should look anxious, but when she walked into the yard, her demeanor was no different from usual.

Liu Qingshan only thought that it was unclear on the phone, so he hurriedly said it again: "Auntie, Ah Hua works odd jobs in the supermarket in the town, do you know? I asked the people in the supermarket, and they said that Ah Hua will go to work in the evening recently, and she will not study at school at all at night. ”

"Oh, that's right. Agui's mother put down the farm tools, washed her hands in the basin of water again, and said in a light tone, "Ah Hua is almost sixteen years old, she is an adult, let her do whatever she wants, just don't break the law." ”

"What?" Liu Qingshan couldn't believe his ears, "Ah Hua is such a smart person, if she studies hard, she will definitely have a good future in the future." ”

"Hmm. Agui's mother squatted on the edge of the basin, soaked her hands in the water, looked at the waves, and said after a while, "Qingshan, I understand what you say, but Ah Hua has her own ideas, and I can't force her." She had told me these things before, and I didn't agree with it, and I wanted her to study well, but she insisted on doing it, and said that if I didn't agree to her, she would leave the country and work in a far, far away place. Qingshan, Ah Hua is a person, not a dog, and I have no way to control her. ”

"Mom, you already knew?" Ah Gui looked at his mother in shock, and tears welled up again, "Why, why didn't you stop her?"

Is this still the same mom she used to be?

My mother used to say that no matter how difficult it was, she would never let their siblings drop out of school. Now, how did mom become like this.

Agui's mother looked at Agui who was in tears, and felt quite guilty in her heart, but she still said firmly: "Agui, your sister is already an adult, her own affairs, she is in charge, you just need to take care of yourself." Moreover, your sister also said that if your grades continue to regress like this, she will leave our local area, so that we will never see her again. Agui, study hard in the future, okay? Your sister did this all to let you study hard, and you don't want to waste her kindness. ”

"Good intentions?" Ah Gui didn't want such kindness.

He cried: "Mom, I don't want such kindness, I just want my sister to study hard." ”

"Agui. Mom looked at Agui with firm eyes and said, "Do you want to lose your sister?"

One sentence overwhelmed Agui.

When I met my sister in the town in the afternoon, my sister's words were so resolute that it didn't seem like casual talk at all.

If he can't study well, his sister might really leave them.

She was very determined.

Liu Qingshan was completely confused.

He couldn't understand at all, what was the difference between two children studying and one child?

Although Ah Hua needs some money after going to high school, it is not a lot, and with the job he now provides to Ah Gui's mother, it is completely easy to raise two children.

However, how can this family be so messy?

He asked with a confused expression: "Auntie, you are digging stone flowers now, and you have an income of several hundred yuan a day, and it is not a problem for these funds to be used for the two children to go to school." Moreover, Ah Gui is only in elementary school now, and he will not need money to study in the next few years, and he doesn't even have to pay for food, so that Ah Hua needs a little money to go to high school, which should not be difficult for you now. ”

Ah Gui's mother smiled bitterly, she wanted to explain the truth, but when she saw that her son was also looking at her, she said: "It's not difficult, but since Ah Hua doesn't want to study, then I can't help it." Now Ah Hua's age is the most difficult age to discipline, I'm afraid that I'll push her into a hurry, she can do everything, so let her go. ”

"How can you go with her? Ah Hua is not yet sixteen years old, and other children are studying in school at this age, how can you let her go to work?"

"Qingshan, didn't you also go to work after graduating from junior high school?" Agui's mother retorted, "Since you can, of course Ahua can too." ”

"I'm a man. Liu Qingshan said incomprehensibly, "Moreover, it is precisely because I have suffered outside that I know how terrible it is to be uneducated." Like us poor people, studying is really the best choice, if you let Ah Hua drop out of school and go to work now, it will be completely harmful to her. ”

"I didn't let Ah Hua drop out of school to work. Agui's mother finally couldn't hold it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried bitterly, "Do you think I forced her to drop out of school and work? If I could, I also wanted her to finish her studies happily like other children, but she gave up herself, what can I do? Do you want me to tie her to school with a hemp rope? Qingshan, you don't understand, you don't understand our family's affairs, so don't talk about it anymore." ”

"Auntie. Seeing that the aunt, who had always been strong, suddenly cried like a child, Liu Qingshan was very frightened and very guilty.

It was probably because he was too verbose and said too much that he forced his aunt to be anxious, so she finally couldn't suppress the sorrow in her heart and cried.

Liu Qingshan couldn't see others crying, so he was a little cramped for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Agui walked up to his mother, wiped his mother's tears with his hand, and cried: "Mom, don't cry, in the future, I will study hard in the future, I will study hard, don't cry." ”

"Agui. Agui's mother hugged her son, but she cried even more.

Seeing the mother and son hugging in the gray twilight, Liu Qingshan really felt that he was redundant.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the other party completely ignores the difficulties of others and forcibly uses his will on others.

Looking at the crying mother and son now, and thinking about it carefully, I really feel like a bit of a jerk.

It's a real jerk to judge someone's life without experiencing their hardships and pains.

Perhaps, what he should do now is to leave silently.

He withdrew from the courtyard and looked at the dim sky, with mixed feelings.

Everyone is under the same blue sky, but why do some people live to the extreme, while some people are still suffering for food and clothing?

Naturally, you don't need to believe bullshit such as what the sky is going to descend on, in the final analysis, it's just that God is unfair.

After returning home with this heavy heart, Liu Qingshan told his parents that Ah Hua was going to drop out of school.

Wu Cuimei felt nothing: "What's this? Now there are a lot of children who drop out of school after graduating from junior high school, how many can you manage? Aren't you, and your third uncle's eldest cousin, all dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school." And, you see, you're not all right now. I think that since Ah Hua herself is unwilling to study, then no matter how much she is forced, the cow doesn't drink water, you can't force the cow's head. ”

"Yes, Aunt Gui doesn't worry about it, what are you worried about. Liu Yuanhe said, "You still have to worry about tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow's business?" Liu Qingshan wondered, "What's tomorrow?"

"Your uncle called today, your eldest cousin also built a house in his hometown, and tomorrow he will do it, and we have to go as a family. ”

"Then go ahead, what's there to worry about. Liu Qingshan said inexplicably.

However, there is a little uneasiness.

Wu Cuimei handed the old man a color, and then took the hot water to take a bath.

Liu Yuanhe showed a smug smile, looked at his son and explained: "Your second aunt said that a girl from her mother's family will also come tomorrow, and she told other girls that you two will meet by the way tomorrow to see if it can be done." ”

"Mom!" Liu Qingshan yelled at the bathroom door, "Didn't I say a long time ago not to fix these things?"

Wu Cuimei pretended not to hear, hummed a little song, and took a bath, it was really comfortable.

Liu Yuanhe smiled and said: "Qingshan, look, your second aunt is kind, you can't let her be in vain." Besides, it's just to meet each other, and it's not that you want to marry someone back immediately, what's the matter? Will there be one less piece of meat when you meet? If you don't like it, then you can just explain it to your second aunt, what's this?"

It's so light, it's not you who wants to go on a blind date.

Liu Qingshan was so angry that he didn't eat much for dinner, so he ate three bowls of rice, two bowls of oil tea, half a plate of braised pork, two chicken legs, and three wild fish the size of two fingers.

"Qingshan, get up early tomorrow, let's leave early, get to your uncle's house early, and we can still help." Wu Cuimei saw her son go back to the room with a black face, so she hurriedly advised.

Although Liu Qingshan was full of unhappiness, things had already developed to this point, and he couldn't escape.

Since you can't escape, you can only face it.

Early the next morning, after the family of three cleaned up, they drove out in a pickup truck.

As soon as the car left the yard and came to the cement village road, he met Agui.

Ah Gui is cutting a clump of drunken fish grass next to the village road.
