Sultry afternoon.

The air-conditioning schedule has ended, and as the cool air dissipates, the room is filled with a hot and dry atmosphere.

The girl lying in front of the desk woke up with difficulty, only to find that her eyes were already swollen from crying, look at the time, 2:45 p.m.

！

It's time for class!

She was startled, and stood up violently, but she took two deep breaths first, and then quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then came back quickly and orderly to put all her homework into her school bag.

When the water glass, the sun umbrella and the key were all brought with her, she looked at the mess in the living room, then at her father, who was sleeping soundly, and turned her head to go out.

- Mom said before that when dealing with Dad, you have to ignore it.

The more he ignores it, the more he will work and think carefully...... When this time is given, he will be able to maintain himself for a long time.

Now that Mom is gone, she's going to get used to it.

……

The fourth grade of elementary school ends at 4:30 p.m., even if this school is average, but now it still needs to be picked up and dropped off by parents.

Zhou Meng went out directly with a note - her mother said that her father would definitely not come to pick her up, she wanted to tell the teacher about her parents' divorce as soon as possible, and then tell her that her father had no time for work, and let the teacher allow her to go out of school alone.

To tell the truth, when I learned that the child's parents were divorced in the afternoon, and this stepmother still couldn't take care of the child anymore, the teacher was also very sorry in her heart.

"Even if this community is very close, it is only a three-to-five minute walk, but you are still young after all, and it is too unsafe to go to school alone, so I will do a home visit and communicate with your father, so that he can try to spare time to pick you up." ”

Zhou Meng shook his head: "I have to take the university entrance examination in the future, as long as I have a lot of money, Dad has to work hard to earn money now, teacher, I will go with other uncles and aunts, that is, teachers above the third grade do not lead the team, and every time I go out of school, I need parents to wait at the door, so can you write me a note so that I can go out alone?"

To put it mildly, the head teacher finally agreed lovingly.

She also sighed: "I'll write you a note first, and when I go to school tomorrow, I'll show your student ID to the security office, and then you can just walk out." ”

So......

Zhou Meng looked at the children who were chattering outside and waiting in line to go home, and suddenly felt a sense of maturity:

I'm on my own now, Mom, I'm sure I can do well.

She pinched the key in her hand, and inexplicably felt a sense of stability.

……

The neighborhood where Zhou Meng lives looks dilapidated, but in fact it was originally a family home, no more than five minutes' walk from Zhou Meng's primary school, and the nearest junior high school is only 15 minutes.

The high school in the school district has three direct bus trips, and the time is controlled within 25 minutes.

Therefore, no matter how broken the house is, the house price is still expensive.

After her mother married her father, she used all the family's savings, plus the old house, to change to such a 67-square-meter house.

However, because of this, Zhou Meng can easily find acquaintances in the community when he goes to school and goes back with each other, and it is not troublesome to be safe.

Zhou Meng remembered his mother's explanation clearly, and at this time he stood at the school gate and looked at the crowd, trying to find his familiar face.

At that moment, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked by the side of the road. She took a closer look at Zhou Meng and walked directly towards her.

"I'm late, am I?"

She looked at Zhou Meng standing here alone, sighed at this time, and said with mixed emotions: "Mom has a new daughter, isn't it?"

……

Friday night.

He Huai took Li Ying to sit on the bus together, staggering, drowsy, and ready to move...... After all, there are snacks in the bag.

However, Li Ying said that it was not appropriate to eat on the bus, in case someone got motion sickness, it would be very uncomfortable to smell it, so the kind-hearted Lord Ahuai had to endure it.

Li Ying looked at the flat road outside, and suddenly regretted a little: "Alas, in fact, I should ask my mother for an extra 100,000 yuan to buy a scooter, let's go out on weekends and drive just right." ”

When a big dog talks about 100,000 yuan, it's like ten yuan.

But think about the building in her house...... Well, that's pretty much the mentality.

He Huai nodded: "Okay, okay." ”

Li Ying looked at her depressedly: "Of course I know, the problem is that I haven't got my driver's license until now...... I hate it!"

She muttered, "And no one takes it, I'm a novice, and I don't dare to run around." ”

She got her driver's license in her freshman year, and now it's been a few years, and it's almost forgotten - whether she can drive or not is a different matter!

He Huai didn't have a driver's license, so she was naturally not qualified to say this, but she quickly remembered what she had seen on the road on the opening day of the villa, and said firmly at the moment:

"I know, the left throttle, the right brake. ”

Li Ying: ???

"Really?" she was a little confused: "How do I remember it doesn't seem to be......"

He Huai nodded: "Believe me, there is a girl who survived and found a partner by relying on this." ”

Li Ying: ......

The more unreliable it is......

She was expressionless: "You better go to sleep." ”

……

There is no way to sleep, even if Li Ying brings the best noise-canceling headphones, but at this moment, when the back of the chair in front of her is slammed, it is still difficult for her not to be disturbed.

She opened her eyes and found that He Huai was still secretly eating on the side, and then looked in front of her, a child about five or six years old was excitedly hugging the back of the chair and bouncing.

"Little friend. Li Ying looked at him: "In the public environment, you can't affect others with such drastic movements." ”

The child looked at her, broke through his mouth, and was about to cry at the sight of it.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, covered the child's mouth, and then forcefully hugged the child to his lap and hugged it tightly.

At first glance, it was a chubby middle-aged woman.

She met Li Ying's gaze, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the child didn't teach well at home, and he loves to cry and make trouble if he is disobedient, so I'll educate him." ”

She said politely, but the action of restraining the child was not loosened at all, and the child struggled in her arms, but did not move.

The middle-aged woman whispered at the moment: "You don't keep your promise, we said that you can only play obediently, and now you are making trouble again, in this case, we won't go in to play when it comes, and go back by car." ”

Hearing this, the child's eyes rolled and he immediately stopped struggling.

The woman let go of her hand as well.

The child is young, but his mouth is unforgiving: "I know you want to be my stepmother, if you don't take me to play, I'll tell my father, don't want you to be a mother." ”
