"I'm not a pauper. ”

"I'm not a pauper. ”

"I'm not a pauper. ”

The important thing was said three times, Pei Qian looked at the ten yuan in his hand, and confirmed the fact that he was not a poor bastard.

The name Pei Qian is not very auspicious when you hear it, but it is indeed the case, Pei Qian's life in the past 22 years has really been extremely sad.

When I was a child, my family was poor, and the teacher had to urge me again and again for the tuition fee, and then I could only make up the tuition fee when the pig was sold.

His primary school teacher is not only the Chinese teacher of their first grade class, but also the math teacher, and the Chinese teacher and math teacher of the second grade class next door.

At that time, he was still steaming rice at school, and other students could buy soup for five cents, but he could only add white rice and sweet potatoes.

Even the lunch box that holds rice, others are shiny stainless steel, but his is an aluminum lunch box.

Whenever this happens, he will look at other people's lunch boxes with great envy.

At that time, Pei Qian felt that a good-looking lunch box was more important than a delicious meal.

Of course, he also asked for a stainless steel lunch box from his family, and then was rejected by his mother Liu Hongping.

"You haven't dropped this lunch box, what new ones to buy, and besides, the pigs at home are all borrowed money to buy, where is the money to buy it for you. ”

The next day, Pei Qian's lunch box fell, and then he was beaten by his father Pei Youcai, and he beat his buttocks with bamboo strips with bloody marks.

On the third day, Pei Qian had a new stainless steel lunch box, so he happily went to school, and his butt didn't hurt anymore.

Pei Qian had a stainless steel lunch box, which only saved him from his first trouble.

Pei Qian's second worry is that every day after school, his teacher always asks, "Pei Qian, have you sold your pigs?"

At this time, his classmates would look at him and laugh, Pei Qian had no choice but to lower his head, and his face was also hot.

However, sometimes the teacher will forget, and then Pei Qian will be very happy, because then he can go home with his classmates.

His classmates are basically from a brigade, and there are also a few friends surnamed Pei. This is a village, and they are all related to each other.

Of course, the little friends are not equal.

There is a big brother in the lead, because he has a small three-wheeled bicycle and can squeeze two people in the back.

There is also a little brother who is called, and it can only be Pei Qian.

In fact, there are three people in total, mainly because the village is not big, and those who have money have moved to the county seat.

The hard days finally came to an end when Pei Qian was in the third grade of elementary school.

Because the water level of the Yangjiang River has risen, the old county town needs to be relocated to X county, so that every family has to be renovated. And Pei Qian's father, Pei Youcai, is an old bricklayer who sticks good tiles.

Pei Youcai earned more than 4,000 in the first month of entering the city, which is equivalent to one-third of his family's income last year.

"Why did I get so caught up in the idea of repairing the house?"

Pei Youcai looked at the two-story brick house in his hometown and said with great regret.

By the way, Pei Qian's family owes a lot of debt to repair the house.

Pei Qian's new home is rented from someone else, a seven-story staircase, his house is on the first floor, and it costs 430 yuan a month.

The floor is plastered with cement, and the walls are scraped with white paint, which is often repaired because of the dampness. Fortunately, Pei Youcai himself is a bricklayer, so he doesn't have to spend money, and even the materials are free.

Every home decoration has a little cement left, and it is useless for the host to get up.

Even so, Pei Qian still felt extremely happy, because he could finally study in the city, and he didn't have to help feed the pigs every day.

And Pei Qian also has a younger sister who picked it up.

The welfare institute in the county town has no money, the boys are all hugged, and the girls are still picky.

Pei Qian's mother Liu Hongping has always wanted a daughter, and when she heard it, she was very moved, and said that she would adopt one with Pei Youcai.

That day, Pei Qian, who was just nine years old, came home and saw that there was a little girl with big eyes in his house, and he didn't care, thinking that it was the daughter of a relative at home.

Until dinner in the evening, the mother pointed to the girl and said to Pei Qian: "Qian'er, this will be your sister from now on." ”

The little girl stopped grilling the rice and looked at Pei Qian timidly. "Brother. ”

Pei Qian also wants to have a sister, because his mother keeps saying. "It would have been nice to have a girl in the first place, someone like you who would help with the cooking, and would be considerate. ”

"Now that I have a younger sister, my mother won't scold me. Pei Qian thought happily.

The little girl doesn't have a name yet.

The next day, Pei Qian's mother took the little girl to find the fortune teller to pick up the name, and after telling the little girl's birthday, the fortune teller looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky and pinched his fingers.

"Your daughter is short of water in the five elements, so let's call Pei Qingxue!"

By the way, Pei Qian is short of gold in the five elements.

Although it cost eighty yuan, Liu Hongping still went home happily. Pei Youcai also thought that the name was good, so he decided on it.

"Pei Qian, remember that your sister's name is Pei Qingxue. Pei Youcai said to Pei Qian, who was playing game consoles.

"Got it. Pei Qian stared at the TV and replied without replying, his body was still crooked from side to side, he was driving a racing car.

Then he was slapped by his father and rolled to the ground, and the game console was confiscated.

Pei Qian wiped his tears, looked at Pei Qingxue hatefully, and thought in his heart. "I'm not going to let you cover the quilt tonight. ”

Because there are two bedrooms at home, Pei Qian and Pei Qingxue sleep together at night.

That night, after Pei Qian's mother brought the door to the room, Pei Qian wrapped the quilt together alone, like a zongzi.

Pei Qingxue bit her lip, curled up and slept at the foot of the bed, and then pulled a little quilt with her hand to cover her body.

About ten minutes later, Pei Qian heard a small sob, and Pei Qingxue cried.

Pei Qian was immediately afraid, he was afraid that Pei Qingxue would sue, and he felt that Pei Qingxue was very pitiful.

"Sister, I'll give you the quilt. Pei Qian loosened the quilt, and then took the initiative to cover Pei Qingxue, and by the way, he also sent the pillow over. "Don't say it to your parents tomorrow!" Pei Qian added.

Pei Qingxue stopped sobbing and nodded.

The next day, Pei Qingxue really didn't complain, which made Pei Qian very happy, so the two of them slept at the head of the bed together that night.

Pei Qian made an exception and allowed Pei Qingxue to drill into his arms like a kitten, before he felt uncomfortable sleeping like this, Pei Qingxue was not allowed to do this.

Soon when Pei Qian was eleven years old, he was in the fifth grade of primary school, and his sister Pei Qingxue was also in the first grade of primary school.

In the past two years, they still slept together, but no longer the house they rented, but they had a home of their own.

Pei Qian's parents bought an elevator room and spent 80,000 yuan, which is a two-bedroom apartment with an area of 77 square meters.

This time, there is a large bathroom and balcony, and it is also equipped with an anti-theft net, so you can sleep on it at night in the summer to blow a cool breeze.

At the same time, Pei Qian also saw a birthday cake for the first time, and on Pei Qingxue's seventh birthday, Pei Youcai went to buy a birthday cake.

Pei Qingxue likes to eat the fruits above, and Pei Qian likes to eat cream.

After eating the cake, Pei Qian licked the corners of his mouth, and said to Pei Qingxue very generously: "Sister, in a few months, I will invite you to eat a birthday cake." ”

Pei Qingxue's birthday is August 8, and Pei Qian's birthday is January 2.

Pei Qian quickly broke his promise, and on his eleventh birthday, because it was the busy time at the end of the year, his parents forgot about it and did not buy him a birthday cake.

Only Pei Qian and Pei Qingxue remembered.

That night, Pei Qian's parents did not come home, they slept on the construction site.

Pei Qian looked at the empty room, tears couldn't help but stay, and he suddenly had a grudge against his parents and Pei Qingxue in his heart.

"Brother, don't cry, I don't want you to invite me to eat cake. Pei Qingxue held a piece of dripping water and a steaming handkerchief and whispered while handing Pei Qian.

Pei Qian looked at the back of his sister's reddened hand, his heart was sour, and his resentment towards Pei Qingxue disappeared. After taking the handkerchief and wiping his face, he got up and walked to the kitchen, where he brought the washbasin to the laundry counter and mixed it with cold water.

Then he brought it over again and said to Pei Qingxue: "Sister, let's wash our faces and sleep, don't wait for them." ”

The thermos flask is placed on the ground, so Pei Qingxue can only pour boiling water into the thermos flask.

The next day, Pei Qian's parents didn't have to say anything when they came back, as if they had forgotten such a thing.

They really forgot, they are busy taking over work every day, where do they still remember Pei Qian's birthday. During the Chinese New Year, I remembered that Pei Qian had turned eleven years old and gave a red envelope of fifty.

Only Pei Qian and Pei Qingxue remembered.

Later, Pei Qingxue also forgot about it, only Pei Qian remembered.

One day, Pei Qian's parents settled accounts at home.

"How much did you earn this month?" asked Pei Youcai.

"A little over twenty thousand. Liu Hongping put down the calculator and said.

Pei Qian went into his room when he got home, and then closed the door.

Pei Qingxue was sitting at the desk doing her homework, turned her head to look at him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you going to the Internet café again?"

"Well, don't tell them. Pei Qian nodded.

"It's not them, it's our mom and dad. Pei Qingxue said a little angrily.

Pei Qian stopped talking, just lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone.

He is 14 years old this year and is in his third year of junior high school.

Two years ago, he also slept separately from Pei Qingxue, and the bed in their bedroom became a bunk bed.

Because he was hooked on online games, Pei Qian's grades plummeted and fell to the lower middle of the class.

Contrary to Pei Qian, Pei Qingxue scored double hundred points in every exam.

Pei Qian's father and mother often took Pei Qingxue to educate Pei Qian. "Why don't you learn from your sister, you know how to play every day. ”

It's just that Pei Qian enters in his left ear and goes out in his right ear every time, and he still goes his own way as the wind in his ears.

Pei Qingxue looked at Pei Qian who was playing with his mobile phone, and couldn't help sighing, although she knew that Pei Qian couldn't listen to it, she still said: "Brother, you should work hard, you will take the high school entrance examination next year." ”

"There is still one semester, and the teachers all say that I am smart, and I will work hard next year. Pei Qian didn't feel that Pei Qingxue's words were impatient, he couldn't listen to his parents' words, but he could still listen to his sister's words.

"Okay. Pei Qingxue shook her head and began to do her homework again.

On the evening of January 1, Pei Qingxue suddenly said to Pei Qian: "Brother, Dad asked me to ask you what kind of birthday cake you like." ”

Pei Qian put down the phone and was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be impatient and said, "Whatever, just buy what you like." ”

On the evening of January 2, a birthday cake was set on the dining table, and Pei Qian's parents looked at the cake with some surprise and asked, "Who bought it?"

Pei Qingxue whispered next to their ears: "My brother has never eaten his birthday cake, I saved money to buy it, and then told him that his parents bought it for him, you have to keep it secret!"

"How much?" asked Pei Qian's mother.

"280 yuan. Pei Qingxue whispered, and then looked at Pei Qian's mother timidly, afraid that she would say that it was expensive.

Despite having about a hundred, and despite the fear of being said to be a waste by Pei Qian's mother, Pei Qingxue decided to buy the most expensive one she could buy.

Because she felt that she had divided her brother's love a lot.

"Good daughter. Liu Hongping gently stroked Pei Qingxue's hair and hugged her into her arms.

Pei Youcai coughed and said, "Wait for Dad to make up the money for you, and then give you a reward of 500." ”

Pei Qingxue's pocket money is 100 per month, which she has saved for five months.

That night, Pei Qian celebrated his first birthday in fifteen years.

After everyone finished eating the cake, Pei Youcai lit a cigarette and took a long puff and said, "In the future, your parents will not forget your birth." ”

"Got it. Pei Qian casually answered and returned to his room.

As soon as she got into bed, Pei Qingxue quietly opened the door and closed it gently.

Although her movements were light, Pei Qian heard it and turned to face the wall.

Pei Qingxue lay next to him, hugged his waist with both hands, pressed her cheek against his back and whispered, "Crying?"

"Nope. Pei Qian wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, but the dead duck's mouth was stubborn and refused to admit it.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I only understood it when I heard you talk in your dreams not long ago. ”

"What else did I say?" Pei Qian asked in a somewhat frightened voice.

"No more. Pei Qingxue bit her lip and replied softly.

Hearing this, Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and stared into Pei Qingxue's eyes and said, "It's none of your business, I'm too selfish, and I won't be like this in the future." ”

"Uh-huh. Pei Qingxue nodded.

Let the dream words that make her hear, make her blame herself, feel guilty, angry and scared, let it go with the wind!

Pei Qian still knew that Pei Qingxue had quietly saved money to buy the cake, and his mother told him the next day.

"Your sister treats you so well, you should take it to heart. ”

"Mom, don't worry. ”

Pei Qian replied with a smile.

Pei Qian studied hard in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, but he was not as smart as he imagined, and finally gave about 6,000 school choice fees to be able to study in the best high school in the county.

And Pei Qingxue was admitted to his junior high school with the first place in the county, and only studied in primary school for five years.
