Chapter 41: Confession

Duan Chengyu sent Li Xi home according to his words, and then went back to his home, and before leaving, he told Li Xi to stay well, and he came over with a watermelon at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xi nodded in response, waved at him and saw him back.

Then Li Xi sat on the small bench for a while, and then his parents came back.

Then the grandmother called for dinner, and the parents washed their faces and served the table.

Li Xi saw that his father's pants were full of dry dirt, rolled up casually, and knew that his father and mother would probably have to work later.

"Dad, how many hills are there?" Li Xi took a bite of food and asked obediently.

Dad took a bite of food for Li Xi, ate it himself, and said vaguely, "There are about 4 hills in Shenshan that have not planted seedlings." After speaking, he looked at Li Xi's feet again, "Are your feet still painful?" ”

Li Xi shook his head, "It's too sunny outside, Dad, you and Mom will go back in the afternoon, right?" ”

Mother gave Li Xi a bowl of tomato egg soup, and said with a smile: "I know this with your father, it's a pity, my mother wants to talk to you about something." ”

Dad glanced at Mom, looking a little unhappy, "Why do you say this during dinner, let's talk about it later!" ”

"Didn't you just ask me to say it when I was in Kinabalu? Do you regret it now? Mom asked Dad with a sneer.

Dad said "I, I, I" several times before he finished his sentence, "Just don't talk about it when you eat." ”

Mom laughed even harder.

Li Xi was confused by the second monk, "Mom and Dad, what do you want to say?" ”

Mom's mouth is fast, and when she saw Li Xi asking, she poured it out in one go, it turned out that her father wanted Li Xi to go to school this year.

Li Xi's brain was spinning fast, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn't remember that her father had mentioned school to her when she was four years old, could it be that she was too young to remember it?

"Dad... Dad, why did you suddenly let me go to school? Li Xi rarely spoke, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she was reborn and caused the chaos of time and space, and what happened was different?

"But I'm only 4 years old?" Li Xi regretted it as soon as she said it, because she remembered that Duan Chengyu had just told her that she could already start school at the age of 4.

Sure enough, "Didn't your dad go to see the enrollment poster of that Peace Elementary School before?" It says that 4-year-olds can go to preschool. Mom smiled and asked her softly, "Do you want to go to school?" It's the same if you don't want to go next year. ”

Dad also said, "Yes, don't worry, I'll ask you, most of the children in other villages have been going to school since they were 4 years old, so you have a companion, and you won't have a friend to talk to in the future, it's a pity, you have been sensible since you were a child, do you understand what Dad said?" ”

Li Xi frowned and nodded, the mouthful of rice stuck in his throat couldn't swallow it.

When my mother saw Li Xi's appearance, she was a little strange, "Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Isn't there something uncomfortable? Do you have crurale pain? ”

Li Xi shook his head.

Seeing this, Dad also frowned, and said to his mother, "What's the matter with this child, other people's children are happy to hear about going to school, how can they pity a sad face, a child with a big fart, as if they are bitter and hateful." ”

"How do you speak, be careful and scared." Mom slapped Dad, "Eat your meal, don't play cards later, save money, whether you regret going to school this year or next year, that's a big expense." ”

At that time, Article 10 of the "Compulsory Education Law" did not stipulate that "the state shall exempt students receiving compulsory education from tuition", so tuition fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees were still charged together, and the fees were also a large expense for rural people.

"Cheng, I see." Dad responded with a full mouth, and quickly finished a bowl and went to fill another bowl.

Seeing that Li Xi was completely distracted, he muttered a few words, and when he saw his mother's warning, he didn't say anything more, and went for a walk after eating.

Mom helped grandma clean up the dishes and chopsticks together, and sat opposite Li Xi, while grandma went to the room to rest.

The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, full of quiet beauty and softness, "It's a pity, you tell your mother, are you afraid of going to school?" ”

Mom's voice was very soft, calling Li Xi back to 1998.

Li Xi is indeed afraid, but what she is afraid of is not going to school, but afraid of something different from her previous life, so she doesn't know how to let her parents, grandmother and grandmother avoid those disasters.

"Mom... I... I had a dream. Li Xi plans to tell her mother about these things.

"Sorry for the nightmare? Come, tell Mom, don't be afraid. Mom hugged Li Xi from the chair and sat on her lap.

Gently brushed Li Xi's back and comforted him softly.

Li Xi hesitated for a while and nestled in her mother's arms.

The breeze jingled through the bells on the railing, and the sunlight moved slowly from the back of the house to the front, taking away the breeze and leaving the heat behind.

The outer circle of the petals in front of the house has withered in half, and the dog's tail grass has also been tilted from straight to straight, and as for the daylilies planted by Li Xi in the spring, they can't wait to lean on the ground early.

Mother sighed and touched Li Xi's head with pity, "Pity, dreams are all fake, look, aren't we all good?" ”

"But those things will happen years from now." Li Xi was a little anxious, desperate to make her mother believe it, and then avoided it like Li Xi.

"You said that grandma would die in 2008, and there was no one around to accompany her at that time, and no one to send her to her death?" Mom asked helplessly.

Li Xi nodded desperately, because she remembered very clearly, because that year, China became the host city of the Olympic Games for the first time.

"Then, in 2012, Dad went to work at Aunt Swallow's husband and broke a leg because of a machine failure? Immediately after that, my grandfather died of a recurrence of cerebral hemorrhage? Mom asked again.

Li Xi still nodded, because that year the whole world was saying that it was the end of the world, and there was even a movie of the same name, and it was also in that year that Li Xi went to Shanghai alone, completely left home, lived under the wings of An Rong, and finally ended up with a tragic death.

"You mean our family was torn apart after that, didn't you?" Mom asked again, but this time, Mom didn't give Li Xi a chance to answer.

"It's a pity, my mother knows that you are very smart, but dreaming is really the opposite, you have to believe your mother. Don't be afraid, don't be sorry. ”

"Originally, my mother thought it was okay if you didn't want to study, but now it seems that you have to study this year, and only when you read can you not be cranky."

Li Xi was stunned, why didn't her mother believe her......
