When she entered the hall, Grandma spoke, and lowered her voice, "Don't pay attention to them, your brother is not good at reading, and now he plans to learn some crafts with his uncle, and your aunt is annoying." ”

"Are the grades so bad?" Lin Xiao knew it early and pretended not to know, showing a surprised expression, "Grandma, isn't he studying at his grandmother's house, how can he not read well?" Doesn't it mean that when I was a child, I was very good at memorizing, and I could memorize it after listening to it a few times? ”

Grandma sighed, after all, he is his eldest grandson, and he is very much like Hu Laifeng, obviously growing up in his grandmother's house, his grandmother's uncles and aunts and cousins are all honest people, he has a bad temper, exactly the same as Hu Laifeng, "Where can he be, he can close his eyes and read the book, but I don't know which word it is." ”

It's really like this, when Lin School was transferred to Xincheng Primary School, her uncle's eldest son also wanted to transfer from his grandmother's side to this primary school, and there was a test for the transfer school, his math and Chinese were less than 20 points, Xincheng Primary School confiscated him, and he had to go back to his grandmother's primary school to continue studying.

There is no compulsory repetition in the nine-year compulsory education, and he will be promoted to junior high school smoothly, after the first year of junior high school, he really doesn't want to read, it just so happens that his uncle is going to another city to carve a mold, Hu Laifeng feels that it is better to learn a craft if he can't read, so he sees that Lin Xiaoxiao, who has good grades, has a nose that is not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes.

"Grandma-" Lin Xiao pulled her grandma's arm, "Didn't he come for the New Year?" ”

"No," Grandma said with a slightly regretful expression, "he'll leave with his uncle today." ”

She had heard of this in her previous life, Lin Xiao didn't know how much craft her cousin had learned, anyway, the more she learned, the worse it became, but she didn't plan to make a profit, people could worry about her, didn't she have Hu Laifeng, she did have a bit of a cold temperament.

"Grandma, I have to go back after eating, and I have to go to the store tomorrow," Lin Xiao said to her grandmother, biting into the sweet potato pieces that had just been steamed from the stove, "Recently, I have been working part-time to earn some living expenses." ”

Grandma was distressed when she heard this, and she had no choice, she didn't have any money, she just wanted to subsidize her granddaughter, but she couldn't take it out at all, "Well, do it well, Grandma here, you don't have to worry, go back after eating, and don't let your mother worry, you know?" ”

"I know," Lin Xiao bought a cigarette for Grandma when he came over, and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, you also smoke less, smoking too much is not good for your health, and it doesn't make you quit smoking, it's just a few less cigarettes a day, okay?" ”

Grandma smiled and put the cigarette in the drawer, sat on the edge of the bed, and lit a cigarette with a match, "Okay, okay, grandma listens to you, how is the exam, tell grandma to listen?" ”

"The grades are good, and I also got a scholarship of 300 yuan," Lin Xiao didn't hide this matter, took out a 100 yuan note, and forced it into Grandma's hand, "Grandma, this 100 yuan is for you, you accept it, you can usually buy something to eat?" ”

Grandma immediately refused, "No, don't, where can Grandma collect your money, you put the money away, don't follow Grandma, where does Grandma usually need money, you collect it, and you still need money when you study." ”

"No, Grandma," Lin Xiao stuffed the money into Grandma's pocket, and when she saw that Grandma wanted to take out the money and give it to her, she pushed it back vigorously, "Grandma, don't be like this, you collect the money, I can still get a scholarship in the future......"

Grandma was very happy to hear this, and she didn't refuse, "Okay, Grandma will accept this money." She was reluctant to use it, and the little granddaughter insisted on letting her accept it, she had to accept it, accept it first, and then give it to Ah Xiao or Dajie later, she knew in her heart that Dajie and Zhao Xia must have gone to her grandmother's house, "Your mother and Dajie are okay?" ”

"Well, they're good," Lin Xiao still said directly to Grandma, "My mother and my sister went to Grandma's house." ”

Grandma listened, her eyes were a little dark, "It's all your father's ......"

She only talked about this, and she didn't want to mention anything else, after all, her eldest son didn't do anything, she was also worried, she didn't know what to do when her eldest son was old, in front of her sensible granddaughter, she was naturally looking forward to the two granddaughters getting better and better.

"Grandma, let's not mention this," Lin Xiao squeezed around Grandma, and looked at this room, there were awards for her and Lin Jie from childhood to adulthood on the wall, as if they had been carefully maintained, and they were not damaged at all, "Don't mention the unhappy things, when will you go to Ah Gong's grave, when will the sister-in-law come over?" ”

"Don't wait for them, they'll come in the afternoon, I'll go with you," Grandma shook her head, got off the edge of the bed, and went to the back of the door to get a sharp sickle, "Let's go together, and come back just for lunch?" ”

Lin Xiao had no objection, and she really didn't want to go with her two aunts, and her grandmother's proposal was very much in line with her, "Okay." ”

Walking from home to the mountain, you still have to walk for about fifteen minutes, two people walk together, on the way I met a number of villagers, the villagers looked at Lin Xiao with a little strange eyes, knowing that she had good grades, and knowing that her parents were divorced, and some people asked her parents about the divorce, this is purely nosy, Lin Xiao ignored no one.

Her ignorant attitude made the villagers find it difficult for her to speak.

The grandmother of the Lin family was still smiling and greeting the villagers, most of the people in this village are related to each other, others generally call her "aunt" or "Changfu Niang", and I heard some indiscreet people also ask her granddaughter about her son's divorce, which really made her not very happy, smoking a cigarette, and pulling Lin Colonel up the mountain.

The tomb of the grandfather of the Lin family is said to be prosperous feng shui, and the line of sight is extremely open.

Lin Xiao didn't think that this kind of thing was mysterious, at least their family didn't look like they were prosperous, and without Lin Changfu by his side, this day was prosperous, and that's the case.

Grandma stood in front of the grave, lit incense, and asked Lin Xiao to say goodbye, she herself also worshipped, and said in her mouth, "Old man, look at it, Ah Xiao has come to see you, Ah Xiao and Dajie have the ability, they are good at reading, our family is going to be a college student, old man, you have to open your eyes, don't tell Changfu that bastard Don't pull the two of them, you know?" ”

After worshipping, he put the incense on the incense, and then ordered the Ten Dragons to burn some money to the Lin family's grandfather.

After lunch, the ferry returned to town at twelve o'clock.

Zhao Xia and Lin Jie haven't come back yet, it is estimated that they will have to rest there for the night, Lin Xiao has something in his heart, and he doesn't want to go there to meet, he has to be busy with the work in the store, there are still a few pieces of goods left in the store, the store is empty, she doesn't want to spend time selling other clothes, this year is over, school will start soon, it is better to rent out the store, otherwise the store is empty, it is really a waste.

She thought about it, and hurriedly posted the words "store for rent" on the glass door, and then took advantage of this time to discount the clothes and stick them outside, probably because of the second day of the first month, the road was deserted, let alone entering the store to see, even no one passed by.

Lin Xiao stayed in the store for two hours and then closed the store, there is really no business, there is no need to stay in the store, it is better to walk on the street, wearing a well-fitting down jacket, she slowly admires the deserted street, the sanitation workers are cleaning the road, many fragments of small firecrackers on the road, all the way, the cold wind blows, the small fragments float up with the wind, and it is a mess.

She knows that this street, like the house on this side, now only needs 15,000 yuan to buy it, the square is not small, more than seventy must have, their mother and daughter must be able to live a little bigger, she wants to buy, but unfortunately she can't buy it now, she can't buy it in the town, she can say that it is for others to see the store, but what about the house, buy a house can also be said to be rented, this house, their mother and daughter rent is not necessary at all, others will suspect it, she is not afraid of others doubting, I was afraid that Lin Changfu would come to the door again when he heard the news.

She was afraid, so she wanted to live in peace.

"Lin School?"

She thought so much that she didn't hear anyone call her, and walked on.

"Lin School, Lin School!"

This time she always heard it, she turned around, only to find that it was Lu Feng who called her, he was standing at the door of the church, wearing a suit, that is, the kind of waist pinching trouser corners or flared suits, at a glance, she knew that it was old goods made new, young people love to wear it like this, compared to other suits, it is indeed not so old-fashioned, and it can also look a little graceful.

Before she could stand still, Lu Feng couldn't wait to run over.

He was not the only one at the door of the church, there were many other people, all standing at the door to distribute small gifts, and Lu Feng's Chen Juan was also present, and when he saw Lin Xiao, he also raised his hand, "Lin Xiao, come here to play?" ”

Lin Xiao looked at the past coldly, did not respond, turned around and left, and did not want to have anything to do with Lu Feng anymore.

When Lu Feng saw her continue to walk forward, he hurriedly chased after her.

"Ah Feng, Ah Feng?" Seeing this, Chen Juan didn't care about what she was doing, and ran out with her, "Ah Feng, Ah Feng? ”

As if Lu Feng hadn't heard it, he kept chasing forward.

Chen Juan had no choice but to retreat and stand beside the parishioners.

"Sister Juan, who is this, who is your son talking to?" The person on the side asked curiously, "You seem to have seen it last time?" Have you ever been here? ”

"Yes," Chen Juan did not deny it at all, but admitted it generously, "I am still a top student in the second middle school, and I have always liked our family A Feng." ”

"A top student in the second middle school?"

Not only the parishioner who had just asked, but all the parishioners at the door looked at her enviously.

Chen Juan's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she felt better than her niece getting a rich boss, her son had a girlfriend who could read, even if there was no result, others would say that her son had the ability to make a girlfriend who could read, "Yes, yes, I heard that I won the third place in their school this time, and I also won a scholarship, which is quite capable." ”

She tried her best to hold back the joy in her heart.

Lin Xiao didn't run, there was no need to run, she just walked slowly, and she also heard the footsteps running up from behind, and she didn't hide, just waiting for Lu Feng to come up, or she could make it clear-

Lu Feng ran fast, without panting, and finally stood side by side with Lin Xiao, and he also said to Lin Xiao as a matter of course, "Lin Xiao, are you coming to see me, I wanted to come to you earlier, but I haven't had time, haven't you returned to your hometown?" ”

"Well, I didn't reply," Lin Xiao replied lightly, "I didn't go to see you, so I walked this way." ”

Lu Feng obviously didn't believe it, "I know, you didn't come to see me specifically, I know." ”

Having said that, looking at his expression, it was simply perfunctory, taking her words as shyness.

She simply stopped and looked at him seriously, "I was really passing by, I didn't think you would be here." “

Her expression was extremely serious, even if Lu Feng was happy in his heart, there was still a trace of reason, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do you mean, Lin Xiao?" ”

"What do I mean?" Even though Lin Xiao was impatient, his tone was still good, and he didn't want to have any argument with him, "I don't mean anything, I really didn't go to you, it doesn't matter if you're here or not." ”

Something seems wrong? Lu Feng panicked all of a sudden, and wanted to reach out to pull her, but when he saw Lin Xiao take two steps back to the side, far away from him, it made him panic even more, "What's wrong with you, how can it be okay, we have all talked, how can it be okay?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiao was very disgusted by this statement, and asked him with hanging eyes, "What did I talk to you about?" ”

Lin Xiao, I don't usually think that this hanging of his eyes makes people look a little fierce.

Lu Feng was even more panicked, "Aren't we talking about someone?" ”

"Hehe-" Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, laughing extremely sarcastically, he didn't save him any face, even if he wasn't the Lu Feng who abandoned her, it still made her can't help but get emotional, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, Lu Feng, have I talked to you?" I'm still a student, I can't read my books well, what are you talking to? Who do you think you are? Is it worth it for me to talk to you regardless of my studies? ”

Lu Feng's face turned red instantly, completely humiliated by her.

His eyes widened, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

Because she was right, the two of them never mentioned the word of dating, not a word, her grades were so good, his grades were so bad, she didn't even study secondary school, what about her, a top student in the county No. 2 Middle School, she can win any award if she participates, and she can get a scholarship, can she look up to him?

For a moment, he was at a loss.

Lin Xiao glanced at him coldly, and left directly.

This time, Lu Feng didn't chase after him, standing in place, feeling very cold.

It was all good before, why did it suddenly become like this?

He really couldn't figure it out, thinking of what Lin Xiao said, he was even more embarrassed, as if he was splashed with a basin of cold water, splashing his whole body cold, and his original expectations were instantly empty, so he didn't know what to do, so he walked back dejectedly.

Compared with his loss, Lin Xiaozhi was refreshed.
