Chapter 217: The cost of living is gone
Now, there is nothing I can do, and it is impossible to go back.
"Don't you feel anything about your father's death?" asked Zhang Laohan.
"Well, I really don't feel anything, it doesn't seem to matter. ”
Maybe it's because Cong is young and mostly gets the relationship with the old father, there is no trace of impression in the memory, there is no trace of the old father's appearance, except for the blood inherited by the old father in the body, there seems to be nothing else.
When Xiao Mu said this, I didn't know what Zhang Laohan or Wan Yan or Lao Fu was thinking, maybe he was thinking that Xiao Mu was so ruthless, or maybe he was thinking that Xiao Mu's idea was also natural.
However, none of this matters, in Xiao Mu's opinion, it doesn't matter anymore, just feel some regrets for the old father, and there is no extra feelings.
Later, when the villagers in the village saw Xiao Mu, they asked: "Xiao Mu, your old father has passed away, and you don't go back to see it, don't you miss your father at all?"
Xiao Mu's answer was still not to, it was boring, and his attitude was very firm.
This may seem like a big rebellion in the eyes of the villagers, but what can Xiao Mu do.
Even if people who are close to each other are less accompanied day and night, less exchange of feelings and opinions, and less mutual interests, as time goes by, the feelings between each other will become weaker and weaker, until they are dispensable, until they forget everything.
And Xiao Mu is like this, without the slightest sadness about the death of his old father.
On the contrary, if something happens to Zhang Laohan or Lao Fu, even a little, he will be heartbroken, this is human nature.
All this did not have the slightest impact on Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu still went back to school as usual.
It's just very unlucky, Wednesday, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, and the class should have been good.
It's a pity that Xiao Mu found that the money in his pocket was gone, but fortunately, he had already paid the food bill, otherwise he would have to go hungry.
That morning, after the morning exercise, Xiao Mu came to the commissary as usual, ready to buy biscuits to eat, squeezed his scalp and finally squeezed to the front row, the biscuits were all in his hand, but he felt in his pocket and found that his money was gone.
Immediately put down the biscuit in his hand and said, "Auntie, I don't want it." ”
The little face immediately turned red, turned around and squeezed outside, and someone behind him scolded and said: "What are you doing, don't while occupying the pit, don't squeeze if you can't afford it." ”
Xiao Mu didn't dare to look back at who scolded him, and felt that everyone around him was looking at him and pointing fingers at him.
I hurriedly ran back to the classroom, returned to my seat and sat down, not daring to climb on the balcony to look at the passers-by downstairs and the scenery in the distance as usual.
Alone, sitting alone, staring at the chair in front of me dumbfounded, thinking about what had just happened, the more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt.
For two whole classes, it was like this, and any student felt that he was really mocking himself when he looked at him.
In fact, all this is just Xiao Mu's psychological effect, in fact, it is not what Xiao Mu thinks.
After the second class, I mustered up the courage to go to the balcony of the corridor and climbed up, still focusing on the people around me.
Xu Hui walked over, and when he saw Xiao Mu sullen, he asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Mu, it seems that you are not in a very good mood." ”
"Alas"
He sighed, "I'm unlucky, I lost my money, I don't know if it was stolen or lost by myself." ”
Xu Hui was surprised, "What! The money is gone?" Then what should you do, you haven't eaten breakfast yet!"
Nodding slightly, he said, "No, I haven't eaten yet!"
Xu Hui took out a crumpled 5 cents from his pocket, handed it to Xiao Mu and said:
"Go buy something to eat, I'll give you the money. ”
Where did Xiao Mu dare to take it, not to mention that Zhang Laohan had taught him that he could not use other people's money, Xu Hui had invited himself enough before, where was it embarrassing.
"No, no, no, no, I'm not very hungry, I can eat in two classes, it's fine. ”
"Don't you talk to me, or will I go down and buy it for you?"
Xu Hui's voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it.
Xiao Mu immediately covered Xu Hui's hand, "Don't be so loud, I'm afraid that others won't know that I don't have any money!"
"You know shy, then slip away, take it and buy snacks, or I'll scream." ”
Xiao Mu took it over, full of respect for Xu Hui, he owed Xu Hui a lot, and he helped himself so many times, but he didn't know how to repay it.
"Then I'll go!"
"Go, go, hurry, I'll be over. ”
Xu Hui turned around and went back to the classroom, while Xiao Mu went to the store to buy cookies.
Biscuits for a dime are the best in this store, and of course, because of this, there are many opportunistic people, and they will take several dollars for a dime.
Even so, there are very few who are caught, who can't see who is who at all, and wave their hands in cardboard boxes.
Brave students don't need to open the money, just squeeze in and grab a few dollars.
No one reported it, after all, everyone doesn't like to cause trouble, and they all have the attitude of just looking at it.
And Xiao Mu didn't do it, on the one hand, because he was timid, and on the other hand, he knew that it was wrong to do so.
This time, I didn't hear anyone scolding me, because Xiao Mu bought it with money, but he was trampled on a few times.
Jumping back to the classroom with biscuits, and when he walked to the staircase, he met Xiao Bin.
"Hey, Zhang Xiaomu, yo, I also buy biscuits to eat, not bad. ”
There was a hint of evil in his eyes, and he felt that the person who came was not good, so he ignored it and went back to the classroom directly.
Xiao Mu, who was holding the biscuits, walked to Xu Hui's classroom and prepared to share Xu Hui's food, but at that time, Beichen Primary School had a rule, that is, no classes.
So Xiao Mu could only call Xu Hui at the door, but Xu Hui was fighting with his classmates and didn't hear Xiao Mu's shouting at all.
In the end, the female classmate who was sitting at the window helped Xiao Mu call Xu Hui.
"What's the matter, what are you telling me to do?"
"I'll share your biscuits, what else will I tell you to do, is it possible that I will pay you back!"
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, my money doesn't have to be returned, anyway, it's not much, just 5 cents." ”
Xiao Mu saw Xu Hui's far-fetchedness, he was holding on, presumably Xu Hui had no money.
"Hey, Xu Hui, don't you have any money anymore?"
"How is it possible, I still have it, don't think about it, my money is left with the head teacher, I don't believe you will ask my head teacher later. ”
At that time, it was normal to keep the living expenses to the class teacher, and the teachers were naturally willing to help the students keep them, and how much money to give the students every day according to the parents' instructions to avoid the students from running out at one time.
But in his memory, Xu Hui had never done that, obviously fooling Xiao Mu, but Xiao Mu didn't say it, because this was Xu Hui's last fig leaf.
