When Zhang Ran pushed open the door of the yard, the little earth dog that had been raised for many years immediately ran out of the house to greet Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran suddenly realized that something was wrong, the door of the yard was not locked, if her mother went out, even if she went out for a short time, she would lock the door, Zhang Ran frowned slightly, and then saw the soybean walking towards the house, usually it followed it, it walked to the door and looked back at Zhang Ran.

Walking into the room, Zhang Ran saw the dishes on the stove that had not been washed, Zhang Ran shouted: "Mom?" did not respond, opened the door of his mother's room, and saw that his mother's face was as white as paper, covered with a winter quilt, half a bowl of water on the table, and a table of medicine.

Zhang Ran hurriedly walked over and shouted a few times, but her mother didn't respond, Zhang Ran was a little panicked in her heart, touched her mother's forehead and body, it was very hot, Zhang Ran wanted to help her mother up and go to the hospital, but she couldn't help her at all.

Zhang Ran hurriedly dialed the emergency number, but found that the phone at home was in arrears, and could not make the call, Zhang Ran hurriedly ran to the commissary to make an emergency call, and when he returned home, Zhang Ran turned out all the money in the cabinet, his eyes were sour, only more than 30 yuan, when he left, Zhang Ran was worried that the family would have no money after paying the tuition, and her mother told her that the family had enough money, it didn't matter.

Zhang Ran's mother is not in good health, and she is not young, she is not willing to use her in general places, she can only do odd jobs, and her father, she has never seen it at all, she asked her mother when she was a child, and her mother just said that her father went to a far away place and will come back, and her father is a very good man.

When she was a little older, Zhang Ran never mentioned the word father again, she knew that the man left their mother and daughter alone.

's mother is from Zhejiang, Zhang Ran heard her mother say that her grandparents passed away very early, and they have no relatives, only their mother and daughter depend on each other.

The clothes and shoes Zhang Ran wore when she was a child were all a few sizes older, and children grew up fast, so they didn't have to buy new clothes often, and they didn't have the money to buy new clothes, and Zhang Ran, who was sensible since childhood, didn't take the initiative to tell her mother what to buy to eat and wear, but every time her mother wanted to buy something for her, she would shake her head and squint her beautiful eyes into crescents and say, "Don't want it, don't want Ran Ran." ”

Clothes and shoes are a few sizes bigger, they must be uncomfortable to wear, and they are not good-looking, but Zhang Ran knows the situation at home, and he is not dissatisfied, Zhang Ran has no friends when he first goes to school, but he will be bullied and ridiculed by some children, because her accent is the same as her mother, and it is not that there are no children who call her to play together, but Zhang Ran knows that her clothes and shoes are very inconvenient, and when playing with children, she looks particularly clumsy, and often wrestles, although the children are not malicious, but they will still laugh, and over time, when it comes to recess, Zhang Ran is left in the class to sit alone in the corner and watch the children playing outside。

At that time, what she was most afraid of was reading the text, because as soon as she opened her mouth, the classmates below would laugh, and then when she was running in physical education class, she would often run and run and fall, or her shoes flew out, and naughty children would run over to pick up her shoes and run, she could only tiptoe, or chase her shoes with one bare foot, she never cried, just pursed her lips and chased her shoes.

At that time, she didn't want her mother to make more money and buy her clothes and shoes that fit, because she knew that the more money her mother earned, the more tired her mother would be, and she hoped that her mother would be more relaxed.

At that time, what she wanted most was that she could grow faster so that her clothes and shoes would fit.

Then Zhang Ran's height immediately surpassed her peers, her shoes and clothes slowly fitted, but she grew too fast, and soon she couldn't wear them, and her mother bought her new large clothes and shoes, at this time Zhang Ran didn't know if she should continue to grow taller.

When she was in the third grade, she had almost grown to 150, and her mother began to get sick at this time, she needed to take medicine, and her part-time work was much less, so Zhang Ran took some of her mother's clothes and shoes to wear.

At this time, she met Mu Lan, Mu Lan is a particularly eye-catching girl, dressed like a little princess every day, Zhang Ran thinks she looks good, her clothes are better, those beautiful little dresses, she has never seen them, let alone worn them.

Mu Lan likes to sit in class after class, just like her, for two reasons, one is that the skirt she wears is inconvenient for dancing with her friends or something, and the other is that she likes to read novels and often holds a book to read there.

One day between classes, Mu Lan walked to Zhang Ran's side with a book: "Do you want to read a book together, this story is interesting." ”

Zhang Ran was at a loss, stunned for a long time, and then nodded, and they became each other's best friends.

Mu Lan would bring some candy to school every day, and she would give half to Zhang Ran, and during the holidays, Mu Lan wanted to go to Zhang Ran to play, Zhang Ran shook her head and said that she had something.

She has to clean up the house, help her mother cook, and do some manual work to make money, of course, the main reason is that her house is too small and broken, and she doesn't want her best, the only friend, to see it.

But one day she was sick and didn't go to school, when she was lying at home, Huang Dou screamed in the yard, and her mother went out to check, and then Zhang Ran saw her mother leading Mu Lan into the house.

Mu Lan didn't look around at the dilapidated house, but looked at Zhang Ran very nervously: "Ran Ran, are you okay, I saw that you didn't go to school, so I asked the teacher, and the teacher said that you were sick, and I came to see you." ”

Mu Lan sat on the edge of the bed and told Zhang Ran about the school, and praised her dog for being smart, and finally left her favorite book for Zhang Ran to read, afraid that she would be bored at home alone.

Not long after entering middle school, Zhang Ran found that Mu Lan was different from before, Mu Lan secretly told her that she liked a boy in the class, but he was good-looking, and he studied very well.

Later, when Zhang Ran saw Li Yu, he felt as if he was similar to other boys, but he was much more delicate than other boys.

Later, she accompanied Mu Lan to be late with Li Yu, and until they had a relationship, Zhang Ran had been trying to find a way to match Mu Lan and Li Yu.

She also slowly felt that Li Yu was indeed different from all boys of the same age, he was mature and steady, would take into account everyone's feelings, and was very generous, careful enough, many details would be thought of in advance, his face was always smiling, his smile was different from his own laughter, his smile was really happy.

No matter what happened before, she carried it down by herself, but now she can only ask for help from others, her first thought was Mu Lan, but the phone couldn't get through, she finally thought of Li Yu, Li Yu should have money to borrow her, and she is willing to help them.
