Chapter Forty-Eight: Laughter and Tears

Although Christmas Eve is a Western holiday, it is a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, and Chinese girls also like this festival very much.

Lin Xiao has won many awards in various domestic art competitions and exhibitions, and has caused a lot of sensation in the art world.

Xue Bing saw Lin Xiao's outstanding performance in art, and she admired and envied her. I knew Lin Xiao when I was a child, I knew the roots, and I had deep feelings, and now, Lin Xiao has really become an excellent painter, and Xue Bing wants to confide in Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao is very satisfied with her progress, and is very happy to see Xue Bing's excellent achievements in the field of art and design, and wants to express her heart to Xue Bing, who is from a superior background, but gentle and humble, and has excellent character and learning.

On Christmas Eve, the merchants are ready early, Christmas trees, peace fruits, flower baskets, all kinds of small gifts, a very warm and romantic night.

Lin Xiao and Xue Bing had already made an appointment to watch a movie together in the evening.

The cinema is unfamiliar to Lin Xiao, and when she came for the first time, she didn't know how to buy tickets. Xue Bing grabbed the right to buy tickets and queued up to buy movie tickets.

Lin Xiao was embarrassed, and saw that other girls were holding popcorn, so she pulled Xue Bing to buy drinks and a large bucket of popcorn, and Xue Bingle blossomed.

After checking the ticket and taking a seat, Xue Bing held the popcorn and looked at Lin Xiao happily, although Lin Xiao was a boy, he was also shy and blushed.

The movie begins, an urban comedy, and the audience laughs from time to time.

Lin Xiao was a little excited and nervous, as if she couldn't understand the content of the movie, and only smirked at the atmosphere of the scene.

Xue Bing was very happy, and seeing Lin Xiao's stupid appearance, he took a few popcorns and quietly stuffed them into Lin Xiao's mouth.

Lin Xiao was caught off guard by this sudden little happiness, her eyes widened, her little heart was flustered, and finally she opened her mouth lightly and chewed it carefully, this popcorn is so fragrant! It's so sweet! It's much sweeter than what I ate in my hometown when I was a child!

Xue Bing looked at Lin Xiao's nervous and happy appearance, laughed out loud, and at the same time his little face turned red.

Seeing the warm and romantic plot in the movie, Xue Bing couldn't help but gently leaned on Lin Xiao's shoulder.

Lin Xiao was even more flustered in her heart, she didn't know what to do, she only heard the sound of her heart pounding.

I don't know what the movie is about, I only know that at this moment, he is very happy, and he has never been.

Growing up from snacks, family changes, relatives leaving, studying hard, being admitted to university, encountering injustice, indomitable, tenacious resistance, losing his first love, revenge, bravely saving people, encountering the principal, outwitting evidence, unjust case Zhaoxue, beating scumbag, being plotted by others, fortunately meeting Bole, abandoning reason and art...... Along the way, there have been hardships.

Thinking about the difficulties of these years, the happiness at this moment, Lin Xiao burst into tears, and tears slid down her cheeks. He is noble and arrogant, he is sentimental, and he is more affectionate and righteous......

Lin Xiao tried her best to restrain herself and not cry.

Xue Bing still found out, looked up at the prince charming in her heart, and cried so sadly, she understood that Lin Xiao was born as a bitter child, and it was really not easy for him......

Xue Bing also cried.

She took out a tissue and gently wiped Lin Xiao's tears.

Lin Xiao wiped her tears with her hands, held back her tears, and finally smiled at Xue Bing again.

Xue Bing burst into tears and smiled......

After watching the movie, the two went to have a candlelight dinner.

It was also the first time, Lin Xiao was still nervous and excited.

The wine and food were all together, and the two touched a glass of red wine.

"Brother Lin Xiao, are we together?" Xue Bing blushed and asked with affection.

Lin Xiao also blushed, her eyes didn't dare to look at Xue Bing, and said:

"I didn't seem to be ready, I was a little panicked, and I smiled. ”

"Look at you are a big boy, and you are so timid...... Xue Bing lowered his head and said awkwardly.

"This happiness was so sudden, like a dream. Lin Xiao said.

"I'm happier to have such an excellent boyfriend like you!" Xue Bing said with a smile.

"Ah, me, am I your boyfriend?" Lin Xiao still didn't believe the current facts.

"I'm already your girlfriend anyway!" Xue Bing coquettishly.

"Ahh

Xue Bing stretched out his little hand and twisted Lin Xiao's face, Lin Xiao felt pain.

"It hurts,......" Lin Xiao said covering her face.

"Is it still a dream?" Xue Bing asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't seem to be ......" Lin Xiao finally knew that this was the truth.

"Fool!" Xue Bing laughed.

Lin Xiaohan smiled.

"Will you let your father know about this?" Lin Xiao was worried again.

"Of course I have to tell him!, but he doesn't know that we are in the same school yet!" Xue Bing said playfully.

"Will he agree to us being together?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, it's my own business!" Xue Bing said with a smile, his eyes glaring at Lin Xiao again.

"Okay...... Lin Xiao said, "your classmate, do you know your father's identity?"

"Well, they don't know, low-key ......" Xue Bing showed Bingxue's smart side and said.

"Just ......" Lin Xiao finally smiled, "I'm an artist, and I don't want to hear gossip, so I've been hesitant......"

"Ah, it turns out that you have been planning for a long time and have coveted the little girl for a long time?" Xue Bing became a ghost again, deliberately teasing Lin Xiao.

"No, no, I'm just afraid of others gossiping......" Lin Xiao muttered.

"Do you have the heart of a thief or the courage of a thief?" Xue Bing smirked.

……

On the warm and romantic Christmas Eve, Lin Xiao and Xue Bing expressed their love in their own ways and came together.

……

The day before New Year's Day, Lin Xiao suddenly received a call from her brother Lin Yu: My father came to Sanchuan.

Lin Yu has not developed much in Sanchuan over the years, his son is more than a year old, and his wife has not gone to work since he gave birth.

Lin Yu called his father from his hometown, saying that he could enjoy Qingfu and not have to farm in the poor ravine, in fact, he asked his father to come to Sanchuan to be a nanny for him, so that he could make more money by freeing up his labor.

Lin Xiao is very happy that the family can get together!

Since Lin Xiao had just established a relationship with Xue Bing, Xue Bing was embarrassed to go together, so he bought a gift and asked Lin Xiao to bring it over.

On New Year's Day this year, Lin Xiao took Xue Bing's gifts, bought fruits, supplements, and small toys for her little nephew, and came to her brother's house happily.

My brother rented a house on the 5th floor of a tube building, and my father greeted him downstairs, seeing that my father looked good, Lin Xiao felt very comfortable.

went upstairs together, the room was not big, dark and damp, my brother was taking his little nephew, coaxing him to be happy, seeing Lin Xiao coming up, he was very happy, and sat down.

The sister-in-law was cooking in the kitchen, and she didn't look very happy, so she only said to Lin Xiao slightly:

"Brother is here!" said and continued to cook in the kitchen.

Lin Xiao replied:

"Sister-in-law has worked hard!"

Meals are ready, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork, stir-fried bitter gourd, scrambled eggs, etc., and set on the table.

As soon as he sat down, his father complained:

"It's such a waste to eat so much meat at once!"

Lin Xiao understands his father, he can't eat meat a few times a year in his hometown, and now that he has come to a big city, he is reluctant to have such a standard of living.

The sister-in-law looked unhappy and said:

"It's not easy for my brother to come once, what's wrong with eating a few pieces of meat!"

The elder brother hurriedly persuaded:

"Stop arguing, eat and eat!"

Lin Xiao didn't speak, and served vegetables to his father,

Father said:

"You don't have to give me meat, you eat more, and you have to pay for your brain. ”

"Brother, you are also older, did you fall in love at school?" asked the sister-in-law.

"I just met a girl at school. Lin Xiao replied.

"How's the situation at home?" continued the sister-in-law.

"It's all about art,......," Lin Xiao replied.

"If you want to find someone, find someone who has money in the family, or someone who has power in the family, look at our hard life, I don't know when it will be the end!" the sister-in-law complained.

"Lin Xiao, try to find someone with better conditions!"

"Okay......" Lin Xiao replied and continued to eat.

The reunion dinner was finished in a less than harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, my brother and sister-in-law took my little nephew out for a stroll.

Lin Xiao and her father were chatting in the house.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, and when I saw that there were a few more wrinkles on my father's face, and my hair was already completely white, I suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry.

Your sister-in-law is a money-spending, well-fed and well-dressed, but she doesn't treat me well at all, and she thinks I'm dirty. Father said, sullen.

Lin Xiao comforted:

"Women don't all like that, let's open a little! Everything is taken care of by my brother, you don't have to worry. ”

The father went on to say:

"I brought a pot of sesame oil from my hometown, which I squeezed myself, and it is not easy to eat this in a big city. She didn't say hello, and quietly gave it to Boss Yao. ”

Lin Xiao asked curiously:

"Who is Boss Yao?"

Father said:

"Your sister-in-law's family has no boys, and the family is poor, Boss Yao has taken a fancy to her sister, bought a house for their hometown, and supported her sister, and said that he is kind to their family!"

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's a shame to be a shame to be a bad moral!" in this society, laughing at poverty and not prostitution!" said his father angrily.

Lin Xiao said helplessly:

"The gap between the rich and the poor in society is too big to resist the temptation of money......

The father continued:

"Your brother is busy all day long, he has been in Sanchuan for so many years, you can see what tricks he has done!

Lin Xiao also shed tears and said:

"It's not easy for us rural people to go to the big city, Dad, don't be anxious, my brother will definitely get better if he breaks through step by step! I will also redouble my efforts in my studies and perform well in school." ”

The father said excitedly:

"When I was young, I sang opera, your brother had to study music in college, you didn't study computer science, but you studied art, what is the use! Tuition is still so expensive! Think about it, it's better to go home and farm!"

Seeing her father's depressed appearance, Lin Xiao felt very uncomfortable and cried:

"We don't have the innate advantages of urban people, but we can endure hardships better than urban people. Do you respect ***, *** when you fought with Chiang Kai-shek, didn't you also start from a poor and white mud leg? If you want to think about the long term in everything, you can't just look at the present. ”

When my father heard this, he was comforted and thought about it:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day!"

Lin Xiao comforted:

"You are an old superstitious and fortune teller who says that you can live to be 90 years old, and you will definitely see that day, Dad!"

The father wiped his tears and smiled, and Lin Xiao laughed too.

Bitter laughter.

On the way back to school, Lin Xiao was in a complicated mood, he suddenly became unconfident in Xue Bing's feelings, and he understood very well: he was still a poor student.

When she was about to arrive at school, Lin Xiao suddenly received a call from Fang Xiaoqing:

"Chen Jun is seriously injured, unconscious, and is being rescued in the People's Hospital!"
