Most of the senior students at the end of the college entrance examination have left school, but there are still some students who stay in school and pack their luggage to prepare to go home, and occasionally see a couple in love at the gate of the campus.

Zhang Xiaoyao had dinner, and before it was time for evening self-study, he was wandering around the playground alone, and was surprised to find that there was a girl sitting on the edge of the playground, who was not Li Qing?

Zhang Xiaoyao walked up to Li Qing and sat down, the two chatted with each other, Zhang Xiaoyao said first: "Senior Sister Li Qing, why didn't you go home? Why are you sitting in the playground alone?"

"I don't want to go home, I just want to be alone. ”

"How's the college entrance examination?"

"Generally, maybe it's difficult to do both. ”

"The family is harvesting wheat, and my parents are very hard, don't you really plan to go back?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoyao talk about his parents' hard work, Li Qing's eyes moistened and said: "Mom works hard for the family day and night, just for me to go to school, I also want to reduce the burden for them, so that my parents don't worry about me anymore, but in addition to going to school, I occasionally go out to earn some extra money, what else can I do? It's also a last resort, I really can't live with my parents, although I am studying hard, but I want to let my mother put down the burden in her hands in advance, she hasn't enjoyed a day of happiness, am I useless?"

Zhang Xiaoyao listened to Li Qing's cry and pondered, and said after a while: "Sister Qing, you have done a good job, at least your parents are safe and healthy, don't blame yourself too much, go to college well, and let your parents see a glorious self in a few years." ”

"Mmmmmmmm ”

"There's no one in the dormitory, why don't I stay with you at night and stay with Long Shao? ”

"Sister Qing, listen to me, you better go home as soon as possible, when you go to college, you can stay away from Long Shao's circle, you have your freedom, you can spend your college life happily, you still have a bright future, you still have a lot of choices, listen to my advice, today, no, go back tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmmm... Okay, listen to you, I'll go back to the dormitory first, and I hope to meet again in the future... ”

Li Qing, who turned to leave, whispered with tears across the corners of her eyes: "Xiaoyao, I'm sorry, forgive me for my willfulness, forgive me for not listening to you, I just like to stay by your side, stay with you in this city, you are the first and last, I hope you won't drive me away again when we meet again..." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao didn't see Li Qing's tears, nor did he hear Li Qing's last words, he got up and went back to the classroom directly, and Zhang Xiaoyao, who returned to the classroom, began to carry out a close study plan.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye ushered in another weekend, June 18th, Sunday, this day is also Father's Day, the wheat at home has been harvested and sown corn, Zhang Xiaoyao at home has nothing to do to help his parents do farm work, Zhang Xiaoyao did not forget today's festival, remember the previous summer, the weather was so hot but there was not even a fan at home, every time my parents went to the shade behind the house to enjoy the shade, as early as Saturday at noon Zhang Xiaoyao went to the furniture market to order a new type of spring mattress bed and a new cabinet, and also went to an electrical store to buy a floor fan and a ceiling fan, which is a gift to Dad on Father's Day。

Zhang Xiaoyao just had breakfast, the delivery and installation workers came to the door, parents saw that the installation workers were unloading the bed and carrying the cabinet, Dad took the initiative to go up to help lift together, and Mom was nagging on the side: "The bed and cabinet at home are good, what new bed do you buy, it's not that it can't be used, and you can marry a daughter-in-law after saving money." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao burst into tears when he heard his mother's nagging, and said helplessly: "Every day, I have a daughter-in-law in my mouth, marry a daughter-in-law, how old am I, it's early, it's not that I can't marry a daughter-in-law, hey... Actually, I... ”

Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly closed his mouth, in case he accidentally leaked himself and Xu Wenjing, his mother would blame him for not going to school well.

An hour later, the installers had packed up everything Zhang Xiaoyao had bought, and they began to call it a day and retreat.

Zhang Xiaoyao jumped on the new bed with a big word, the spring pad is soft and elastic, much more comfortable than the previous hardwood bed, at this moment the landline phone at home rang, Zhang Xiaoyao quickly answered the phone, only to hear the phone said: "Hey, is it uncle?

Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly continued: "Brother, it's you, how about drifting north alone and working hard?

"It's Xiaoyao, you're also at home, it's the weekend, are you busy at home?"

"Well, it's all over, the family is fine, you have to take care of yourself when you're outside. ”

Then the two of you said one by one...

"Is your dad at home? I want to borrow some money, five hundred, one thousand can be, now to develop a customer, you need money to get a relationship, get this customer can make a big fortune, my salary has not been paid, just borrow some from my uncle first, don't tell my dad, otherwise I will be scolded again." ”

"Okay, I'll tell my dad later, I'll call you right away, you wait for me for a while. ”

Zhang Xiaoyao, who hung up the phone, hurriedly ran out to find his parents, Zhang Xiaoyao's brother is called Zhang Heng, the only son of the uncle, the uncle is a middle school teacher, and he is usually very strict with his brother Zhang Heng's education and discipline, but the brother just can't stand the strict discipline so he drifts out to break through.

After Zhang Xiaoyao told his parents about his brother's borrowing of money, his parents had a strange expression, and Zhang Xiaoyao asked suspiciously: "Parents, what's wrong?

I only heard Zhang Xiaoyao's mother say: "Yes, all the relatives have borrowed it, no matter how much, and encouraged your cousin and brother lobby to go together to make a fortune, and finally your cousin Huang Nan went, but after coming back with a few thousand yuan, there was nothing left, and the train was all fare evasion, and when you arrived in our city, you still asked your father to pick it up." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao said in surprise: "No, even if you lose money, you won't lose a penny, what are you going to do?

Mom then sighed and said: "Hey, don't talk about this, your cousin came back and said that your brother Zhang Heng was deceived into a pyramid scheme, and all the money was cheated on the third day he went, and he was also encouraged to continue to invest and pull people to ask relatives and friends for money, saying that how much investment is enough is directly the manager, with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and a lot of dividends, but your cousin didn't listen, so he took the opportunity to sneak back, and there was not a penny left on him, so he could only evade the ticket back." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao then asked: "Then why did my cousin Huang Nan know that it was a pyramid scheme and sneaked back, so why didn't my cousin Zhang Heng come?"

This time it was my father who answered: "Your brother Zhang Heng is obsessed, and I don't know how to be brainwashed, I have always believed that I can make a lot of money, every time I borrow money, the family is persuaded by a bitter heart, but he just doesn't listen to persuasion, so the circle of relatives has spread, this matter has made your uncle angry for two days without eating, and also stated that no one will lend him money, why is the pyramid scheme so hateful? Specializing in deceiving relatives and friends, now we are all very sad for you Brother Zhang Heng." ”

After listening to his parents' narration, Zhang Xiaoyao probably understood that Brother Zhang Heng might really have fallen into the pyramid scheme, and maybe he also had unspeakable hardships! Zhang Xiaoyao deliberately went out for a turn, and then secretly dialed his cousin Zhang Heng's phone outside the gate, and also wanted to try to let his cousin not let him see where he was staying.

I only heard Zhang Xiaoyao say on the phone: "Hey, Brother Zhang Heng, I told my parents, but they don't give money, but I have 5,000 yuan in my hand, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you a lot, I'll go to you with a few thousand yuan next week, you tell me a place, you go pick me up when I arrive, see your situation, I still have to go back to school, if you feel that you have done a good investment, how about the 5,000 yuan even if I invest? ”

I only heard my cousin's side reply hesitantly: "Well, oh, okay, I miss you a lot, I remember when we were children climbing trees together to dig birds' nests, you fell from the tree and crooked your foot, or I carried you on your back for a few miles to see the doctor, not to mention before, let's talk about it when you come, then I'll contact you later." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao listened to his cousin's phone call and felt even more puzzled: "No, my cousin is ten years older than me, usually my uncle is strict, he has never taken out a bird's nest with me, I have never climbed a tree, my cousin has never carried me to see a doctor, and he is talking nonsense, he must be telling a lie, this is not right, it is absolutely suspicious, there must be an inside story in it, will someone else stare at me when I call to remind me of the lie? No, my cousin must have difficulties, I have to think of a way." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao decided to try the water himself and see if he could pull his cousin out.

Zhang Xiaoyao returned to school on Sunday afternoon, and the final exam will be held at the end of the month in a few days, the students are working hard to review their homework, Zhang Xiaoyao's mind is on the matter of his cousin Zhang Heng being trapped in a pyramid scheme, and he wants to go to the head teacher to ask for leave, but near the end of the term, the head teacher will definitely not approve, Zhang Xiaoyao is also a little afraid of the head teacher, because he always makes trouble for her, so Zhang Xiaoyao decided to book a train ticket in advance next Saturday afternoon to find his cousin.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and on Saturday afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyao called home and said that he would not go home for the final exam, and Zhang Xiaoyao had never seen the true face of pyramid schemes, and he didn't know what it was, how to pull his cousin out, and he had no experience in saving people.

Zhang Xiaoyao was there alone, and naturally muttered to himself: "Why don't you ask Senior Brother Lin Lang to accompany you and bring a few more people?"

"No, my cousin's affairs are considered my own housework, it's not good to trouble my senior brother, what if one person fights more grass spirit snakes and puts my cousin in danger?"

"If you don't call the police directly, you and the police are acquaintances, no, will the police believe you? Or go across the border to other provinces, and you don't know the police from other provinces. ”

"It's better to go alone, the goal is small, and you don't necessarily have to suffer with the strength of your world-class gold belt boxing champion, even if you can't do it, you can't escape. ”

So Zhang Xiaoyao stepped on the train to the north alone.
