Chapter 030: Touching the Scales
As soon as Su Tang finished asking this sentence, it was as if his brain had been struck by lightning, and he immediately realized something.
"Well, what, that's the end of this matter, you return the money to your classmates, and then say sorry for me, sorry. ”
"Oh, do you have to say it?"
Zhang Tiantian asked as she went down the stairs, "If you don't say it's okay?"
"Why?"
"Because Sister Tang Tang is very cool in their eyes, cool people never apologize. ”
"But if you do something wrong, you have to apologize, whether you're cool or not, whether you're good or not, that's the rule. ”
"Okay. Zhang Tiantian smiled, "I think Tang Tang who says such things now is still very cool, super kind!"
Su Tang touched her head and said, "Then I have to thank you for the compliment." ”
"You don't have to. ”
Su Fanglin watched Su Tang send Zhang Tiantian out of the door, and saw her humming a little song and entering the door, she was in a good mood. I don't know what to say when it comes to my lips.
"Mom, you're busy, then I'll go take a shower. ”
Su Fanglin made up her mind and called out to Su Tang, "Tang Tang, I have something to ask you." ”
Seeing Su Fanglin's serious expression, Su Tang's heart sank, and he secretly said that it was not good, could it be that the chat with Zhang Tiantian just now was heard by her. I opened my mouth to explain.
"Mom......"
"Tang Tang, let me ask you. The words that came to his lips were blocked by Su Fanglin, "Have you encountered difficulties recently?"
"Huh?" Su Tang's mind quickly turned, and he could make sure that Su Fanglin was not talking about Zhang Tiantian, so he settled down.
"It's been good lately, nothing difficult. ”
"Tang Tang, you have to remember that no matter when, I will always be your mother. The first person you want to find is me, remember?"
In the face of this sudden order, Su Tang did not dare to be disobedient, and nodded obediently.
"So, what's happened to you lately?"
"Mom, I've been doing well lately, and nothing happened to me. Su Tang really couldn't figure out where Su Fanglin could see where she was in trouble.
If you want to talk about difficulties, she does have them, and the biggest difficulty is that she is reborn. But this kind of big thing can't be said as easily as discussing what to eat tomorrow. Let's not talk about whether others will take her for a fool, no one will believe her just by saying it. If it hadn't happened to her, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Are you short of money?"
I'm short of money all the time!
"No. Su Tang smiled, "I don't have any special expenses, the money is enough." ”
"If you're short of money, just say it. Mom is just a daughter of yours and raised it. ”
Su Fanglin works in the county library, earning 2,000 yuan a month. Their family's living expenses are not large, but Su Tang is in his third year of high school. Every month's salary is spent on a knife edge. But as long as Su Tang asked her for money, she never frowned.
Su Tang pushed Su Fanglin forward, his heart was sour, but he still smiled and said, "I know." ”
On the night of the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the moon is very large. After the holiday, Zexian No. 1 Middle School was very empty, the moon shone on the street lamps, and the street lamps shone on the playground. There was only one person on the empty playground, and he repeated the action of shooting and picking up the ball, picking up the ball and shooting. The sweat on his back soaked the thin school uniform.
Chen Mu was surrounded by a thick layer of loneliness, isolating him from everything in this world.
Bang –
The sound of a basketball hitting the frame is especially loud at night.
The sudden ringtone of a mobile phone, like a signal from outer space, pierces this unique tranquility, bringing news that is not known for good or bad.
Chen Mu picked up the ball, jumped on tiptoe, and raised his arm to throw the last ball.
The ball goes into the frame, and the curtain of the frame rubs out a subtle sound. He wiped his sweat with a towel, picked up his phone, and connected without looking at the caller ID. This mobile phone, at this time, no one will contact him except one person.
"Hey. ”
"Xiao Mu. On the other end of the phone was a very gentle woman's voice, the owner of the voice was not young, "Don't you plan to come back for the holiday this year?"
Chen Mu raised his head and drank a sip of water, looked at the bright moon, and raised the corners of his mouth silently, but there was no smile on his face.
"Nope. ”
The woman was a little anxious when she heard that Chen Mu didn't want to think about it, and said, "Your brother is also back, he finally came back from abroad, can't you let go of your temperament and come back to see?" By the way, come back to ......see me, too" The woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and gentleness gradually turned into pleading.
"Mom, I still have some things, hang up first. ”
"Little Mu ......"
Chen Mu stared at the mobile phone that had ended the call several times, then stuffed it into the pocket of his school uniform pants, packed up the things on the ground and went back to the dormitory.
Over there, Su Tang had already taken a shower and climbed upstairs into bed early.
Su family small building, Su Tang lives upstairs, and Su Fanglin sleeps downstairs.
After lying down for more than half an hour, Su Tang suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, really unable to sleep. Looking at the alarm clock, it was not yet nine o'clock, which was not yet the time for her to sleep. The main thing is that I ate too much at night, and now I have too much food in my stomach, and I am too uncomfortable.
She climbed out of bed and slowly felt her way downstairs. The lights were still on downstairs and the TV was on.
Su Fanglin hasn't slept yet. She was leaning back on the sofa, although her eyes were watching TV, but her eyes were blank, and Su Tang guessed that she definitely didn't watch anything on this TV.
"Mom. ”
Su Tang walked over and sat next to Su Fanglin. It wasn't until someone around her that she knew that Su Tang had come down.
"What's the matter, you can't sleep because the TV is so loud, I'll turn it down. Su Fanglin said that she was going to get the remote control to adjust the volume, but was stopped by Su Tang.
"Nope. Su Tang explained, "I ate too much at night, and now I can't sleep, so I come down and go around." Mom, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Well, I can't sleep either, I can watch TV. ”
"Then I'll accompany you. ”
Su Tang sat next to Su Fanglin, leaning on the sofa and feeling uncomfortable, so he simply hugged Su Fanglin's right arm and leaned on her shoulder, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Su Fanglin glanced at Su Tang's head, and after her hair was dyed back, she even became well-behaved.
The evening news is being broadcast on TV, all kinds of international and domestic news, good and bad in turn. Watching CCTV news, it will always make people feel that living in China is a very happy thing. It is also a fact that compared with other countries, living in Huaya is indeed a very fortunate thing.
"Mom, how long have we been living here?"
"Seventeen years, how old are you, how many years we've lived here. Su Fanglin looked at the TV and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Su Tang shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm just a little curious." Mom, where are you from? Are grandma and grandpa still alive? I've never seen them. ”
"It's gone, your grandparents have been gone for several years. ”
"Do you have any other relatives? Mom, do you have any younger siblings or older siblings?"
