"I heard that this is Xiaoying's child, and now my parents don't want him anymore, it's quite pitiful. ”

"Yes, yes, fortunately, Zhang Laohan's family adopted him. ”

"Yes, I don't know what Zhang Laohan's family thinks, taking in other people's children, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, and let him go to school, if he doesn't repay them after school in the future, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Xiao Mu walked through the crowd, and all he heard was talking about his own voices, basically questioning himself, of course, there were also a few people who made eloquent words.

"Look, whose child is so amazing, he actually signed up by himself, and he doesn't need to be accompanied by his parents at all, if only my child could be like this, it's so brave. ”

Undoubtedly, this is the favorite word among many voices, and the doubt about himself makes him pessimistic, so the praise of him is a comfort to him.

Even though someone praised it and reported it, Xiao Mu still felt a little sad in his heart.

After all, he still can't escape the discussion of the villagers, his family background is there, he can only accept everything, there is no power to fight back, everything can only be borne silently.

Along the way, Xiao Mu was extremely depressed and upset.

He thought about ignoring it and letting others say it, but he couldn't.

He also thought about slapping those people who talked about him in the face through his own efforts and his own actions, but this road is very long, he is still a child, how difficult it is to do it, it is inevitable to work hard, think about it or give up.

Everything has two sides, and people are no exception, which makes Xiao Mu miserable, and the pain caused by this mood can only be experienced by himself.

Invisible and untouchable, it is better than the pain of flesh and skin.

The narrow dirt road, dusty, and the dust rolled up by the wind hit Xiao Mu's immature face, but Xiao Mu didn't choose to wipe it, just because he didn't know, let the wind blow and sand.

dragging the tired body and mind, before you know it, you have returned to the door.

Seeing Xiao Mu's out-of-body appearance, Zhang Laohan couldn't help asking: "Xiao Mu, where have you been, I haven't found you nearby for so long, who bullied you, look at you so embarrassed." ”

Xiao Mu just let him go, and he had already arrived home, "No, it's nothing." ”

Although Xiao Mu's actions were unpredictable, Zhang Laohan didn't ask much.

At this time, Xiao Mu suddenly realized, remembered what Teacher Ma had said, and didn't know how to speak.

For the first time, Xiao Mu felt so helpless and confused.

Zhang Laohan had already told himself that it would be difficult for his family this year, but he still ran to sign up and promised to go to school next year, but he backtracked. Will he be scolded by Zhang Laohan if he says it? and a series of ideas came to mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Mu finally mustered up the courage to tell Zhang Laohan about his registration.

"Grandpa, you said that you didn't find me just now, it was because I went to school to register, I thought about it for a long time, I still want to go to school this year, and I also registered. ”

After Zhang Laohan heard this, his face did not change and there was no fluctuation, but no one knew what he was thinking about.

Just said lightly, "Oh, and then, what needs to be done?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you need to pay the tuition fee, and then you have to bring your ID card to register. "I didn't smile, I looked like an adult, and I was very serious.

It may be that Zhang Laohan also felt Xiao Mu's desire to go to school, and he didn't say much, although he didn't have much money, but after all, Xiao Mu was also his grandson, and he also promised Xiao Mu to go to school for him, so he didn't say much.

"Okay, I'll go see how much money I have here, if it's not enough, I'll go to your little grandfather to borrow some to make up for it first." There was a hint of weariness in the words.

Zhang Laohan put down the work in his hand, wiped the water droplets on his hands, and returned to the room tremblingly.

He took out the old bag from under the pillow, opened the bag and saw a red cloth, wiped his saliva with his fingers, picked up the money wrapped in the red cloth and counted it, very carefully, for fear of counting it wrong or tearing it.

The older generation of people are like this, they cherish it very much, no matter how much, because it is all hard-earned money.

"Wan Yan, can you get some out there? I don't have enough here. Zhang Laohan asked Wan Yan helplessly.

Wan Yan didn't answer for a long time, maybe she was calculating.

"It should be possible, I'll go and see!"

Looking at such a scene, Xiao Mu felt that he was willful, and he felt that he was making Zhang Laohan very embarrassed.

"Dad, I have 1,500 yuan here, take it and pay it first, I don't need it." Wan Yan shouted inside the house.

Obviously, it was still not enough, so Zhang Laohan went to his brother's house to borrow money for Xiao Mu's tuition.

Xiao Mu originally thought that Zhang Laohan was just joking with himself, even if it wasn't a joke, it wouldn't be so bad, but the reality slapped him hard, it hurt, and it wasn't what he thought.

Xiao Mu felt a little disgusted with herself, "Auntie, am I wrong, am I too willful, am I too willful?"

A litany of questions blurted out.

"No, you're not wrong, I remember I made a bet with you at the beginning, and now you've won, isn't that what we should do? ”

"Besides, this is unavoidable, school is going to school sooner or later, it's just sooner or later, there is no money this year, and there may not be next year, so don't think too much, and don't blame yourself too much. ”

What Wan Yan said was not unreasonable, but no matter how Wan Yan persuaded her, Xiao Mu still felt very guilty.

At this moment, Xiao Mu hopes that Zhang Laohan will get the money, but he hopes that if he can't, he can go to school if he can't get it, and if he can't get it, he doesn't have to go to school, and there is nothing to worry about.

Under the scorching sun, Zhang Laohan was sweating profusely, and the man named Grandpa finally got the money.

"Xiao Mu, you see, grandpa has collected the money, you can go to school with peace of mind, and I will help you pay it in the afternoon or tomorrow. Zhang Laohan looked at Xiao Mu with a smile and said.

Although the man didn't flick when he had tears, Xiao Mu's tears slowly flowed down his cheeks and dripped lightly on his collar.

Xiao Mu didn't know what to say, Zhang Laohan was just his grandfather, he didn't expect that he would pay so much for himself, with this love, what if there is no parental love.

"What are you crying about, can you be like a man, don't be like a girl, cry and cry at every turn, don't cry. Zhang Laohan comforted Xiao Mu, who couldn't cry.

Zhang Laohan couldn't understand Xiao Mu's mood, he just wanted to encourage Xiao Mu.

Since that day, Xiao Mu has changed, she has become less cheerful, she has become less like to talk, and with it, there is a little more loneliness and silence.

Secretly said to himself that he must get ahead, he must not be naughty, he must not let Zhang Laohan's family down, and he must be grateful.
