One evening a few days later, Vang Vieng didn't go out to play because it was raining that day, so the family stayed in the kitchen to make a fire.

This black light blinds the fire and can't see the five fingers, only by the fire there is light, so I can't sleep so early.

Zhang Laohan smoked a dry cigarette, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't speak for a long time, or he was embarrassed to speak.

The old man, who was soaking his feet, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Wan Rong, your father's illness is not light, when will you take him to see it when you have time?"

Wan Vieng has been silent, without any response, and he is a bit unpredictable.

The old man pondered, is it not that this kid is unwilling?

Then he said, "If I hadn't been illiterate, I would have taken him with me." ”

"Take him there, do we have any money?" Wan Vieng's voice was low.

It turned out that Wan Vieng was thinking about money, and he thought he was angry at every turn.

"Ahem" Zhang Laohan said in a low voice: "No, but it should be enough to sell our old cow!"

"Oh"

Wan Rong stared at Zhang Laohan coldly and said, "What should you do if you sell the old cow and do your work, you will do it?"

But this old cow doesn't necessarily mean that Wanrong has ploughed the field a few times, isn't it always Zhang Laohan who does it again?

"If the old cow is gone, you can teach the calf, and it's not that there is no cow at home. ”

But even if Zhang Laohan said so, Wan Rong still showed a little unhappy, and his serious expression could be vaguely seen with the help of the flashing firelight.

And Zhang Laohan also seemed a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't wait for Wan Rong's answer for a long time.

He frowned and stared at the sparks, perhaps wondering what Wan Vieng was thinking.

At this moment, Xiao Mu blamed herself and regretted it.

I blamed myself for being too young to help much, and regretted why I wanted to go to school in the first place, otherwise I could have lightened the burden on my family.

The room became quiet, and no one spoke.

The old man went to pour water for washing his feet.

It's not a way to be silent like this, no matter how you say it, you have to make a statement, otherwise what's the point of discussing.

"Either I won't be in school next year, you just have to check it out. Xiao Mu said very loudly.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Laohan looked at him with a hideous face, and scolded angrily: "What kind of trouble are you making, as for you." ”

But Xiao Mu simply felt that he was dragging down this family, and he didn't have any extra thoughts.

Is that the end of it? No.

Wan Rong was furious, "Look at it, look at it, the old and young of the family will know that there is chaos, and the old ones will be forgotten, and the small ones will also be chaotic!"

Xiao Mu lowered his head, didn't dare to say a word, and didn't dare to take a breath.

Lao Fu and Zhang Lao Han saw Wan Rong scolding Xiao Mu, so the two said in unison: "You are angry and angry, after all, how can you talk about children?"

Wan Rong obviously vented the anger in his heart, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he took the opportunity to vent.

"You will protect him, criticize and educate him more, what's wrong?"

This doesn't seem to be a simple vent, could it be that Zhang Laohan and his wife doted on Xiao Mu too much, which made Wanrong jealous?

It's not impossible, after all, all the good will consider Xiao Mu first and then consider others.

However, how could Xiao Mu think so much at that time, in fact, he was just a child who didn't understand anything.

That night, Wan Rong and Zhang Laohan quarreled very fiercely, so fierce that Xiao Mu trembled all over and was afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Just as the quarrel was raging, the old man took Xiao Mu into the house, wiped the tears from the corners of Xiao Mu's eyes and said, "Xiao Mu, your uncle is this virtue, don't pay attention to him, don't cry." ”

But the more the old man comforted, the more Xiao Mu cried harder.

This may be nature, it is easier to stop crying without being comforted.

"By the way, in the future, the adults said that you should not speak, so as not to say you again when the time comes, do you know?"

Xiao Mu sobbed and nodded.

Until the next day, when she went to class, Xiao Mu's eyes were a little red and swollen.

Walking alone in the garden path, "Hey Xiaomu" heard Guo Yang's voice in his ears.

"What's the matter, what are you doing?" asked Xiao Mu seriously.

Guo Yang looked at Xiao Mu's eyes fixedly, how could they be so red and swollen?

"Xiao Mu, why did you go last night, why are your eyes so red?"

Xiao Mu rubbed his eyes, "Is it, is it very red? I didn't do anything, maybe I didn't sleep last night." ”

Although Xiao Mu, who usually loves to cry, has never revealed it to the outside world in terms of family affairs, and even the most fun Guo Yang and Xu Hui don't know anything, let alone others.

Guo Yang pointed at Xiao Mu, and said with a thief's eyebrows: "Hey, no, I must have done something bad last night, that's why it's like this." ”

"You, looking for a fight!"

Guo Yang ran away, how could Xiao Mu let it go easily, you chased me and ran to the classroom.

The two scuffled together, and at this time, Xiao Mu didn't see a sad look at all, but was more happy and joyful.

There was a fight on this side, while on the other side, Zhang Laohan and Wan Rong were packing up their things and preparing to go into the city to check.

In the final analysis, it was his father, and Wan Rong couldn't sit idly by, so he still compromised Zhang Laohan.

Zhang Laohan squatted at the door, took some water, applied it around his mouth, picked up a rusty razor and shaved his beard.

Yes, it's hard to get into town, of course you have to dress up.

On the contrary, Wan Rong didn't seem to have anything to dress up for, standing at the door staring at the old man Zhang who was slowly shaving his stubble, gritting his teeth.

"Hurry up, what's the matter, it'll be too late!" Wan Vieng yelled impatiently.

"What are you urging, I really don't want to go, I just want to go by myself, I can't shave my beard. ”

Zhang Laohan sped up, hurriedly washed the razor, and then went back to the room to change clothes with a pout.

This is also true, Zhang Laohan's consistent style is to do things a little slowly, and his temper is not small, and Wanrong has a strong smell of gunpowder at any time, the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

Xiao Mu didn't know all this, and was still sitting in the classroom in a daze, although the teacher was foaming at the mouth on the podium.

I said that I would review and prepare for the final exam, but now it's okay, and I'm completely out of the mood.

Yin Yi thought about Zhang Laohan, thinking about whether Wan Rong would go to the hospital with Zhang Laohan, if not, what if he didn't go, would Zhang Laohan not go for an examination?

Then I remembered that Zhang Laohan was usually kind to him, and he felt very uncomfortable, and his mood was low for a while.

But no matter how you think about it, it's useless, because you can't exert a little bit of strength at all, but you know that this is the case, and you still can't stop thinking about it.

I was so groggy in the morning that I didn't know what the teacher was talking about.

When I returned home in a daze, I saw the old man squatting in the kitchen cooking vegetables.

Xiao Mu looked around for Zhang Laohan, but couldn't find it, so he asked, "Grandma, where are the grandfathers, where did they go?"

"Hey, hey, hey," the old man said with a smile: "Your uncle and grandfather went to the county together to check their health." ”
