He looked down, a bit condescendingly.

Lin Xiao was in a good mood today, and it was rare for him to have a little child's heart, and the index fingers of both hands pointed to his cheeks, and his head tilted, showing a big smile at him.

And then—

Well, then she saw the windows closed.

Scaring other people's children?

Lin Xiao couldn't help but put away his movements in embarrassment, trying to pretend to be casual and walk away.

"Lin School?"

She had barely retracted her movements when she heard someone calling her—

This made her expression stiffen instantly, it was rare to be embarrassed once, and she was actually discovered? There is nothing more annoying than this, she slowly turned her head, only to find that it was Wang Kangkang standing there, uh, Wang Kangkang also lived in this building.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Kangkang just came back after reading the results, there were no ups and downs as he expected, how many points should be taken or how many points can be scored, he looked upstairs, and then looked back at Lin Xiao, "Are you familiar with the family upstairs?" ”

"Not familiar." Lin Xiao replied quickly, "I'm leaving, goodbye." ”

"Lin School!"

She was about to walk past Wang Kangkang, and when she heard him call her, she felt a little inexplicable.

Looking at him sideways, she casually asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I might be going abroad." Wang Kangkang's lips moved, and it took a while to speak.

Looking at his expression, he was a little sad, Lin Xiao was really not a comforting person, besides, Wang Kangkang was going abroad, she already knew about it, and she didn't feel strange at all, "That's good, it's good to go abroad, I still want to go abroad, and my family can't afford it-"

When Wang Kangkang heard this, his brows furrowed, "I actually don't want to go abroad." ”

The melancholy of the young man, these words suddenly flashed in Lin Xiao's mind, "Then you just tell your parents, what is this, just say it, it's useless for you to worry alone......

"You don't understand at all!" Wang Kangkang directly interrupted her words and ran towards the corridor of his house.

Lin Xiao, who had only said half of the words, made her feel uncomfortable, and it was rare to be in the mood to persuade others, but unfortunately people didn't eat her Amway, she sighed, "It's still too young, it's too young......"

Isn't it just a boy's feelings, isn't it just that you can't let go of Hong Tingting?

Lin Xiao missed this kind of boy and girl a little, and suddenly remembered the boy she once had a crush, the little boy surnamed Han, who was tall and handsome, young is good, and she can have a pure crush, she has not had this kind of mind for a long time, the reality is pressing on her head, how can she get closer to reality, right?

Lin Xiao went home slowly.

Her sister is not at home, she has gone back to school, and they haven't had a vacation yet.

Only Lin Changfu was asleep at home, curled up, blowing an electric fan, and sleeping soundly.

When Lin Xiao came back, he also woke up, squinted his eyes, and looked at Lin Xiao, "What is the test, how many points?" ”

"Five hundred and sixty points." Lin Xiao said lightly, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of boiled water, opened her mouth, poured boiled water into her mouth, and drank a bowl that didn't quench her thirst, she also poured a small half bowl of boiled water.

When Lin Changfu heard this, he immediately sat up, and the surprise on his face was not hidden from his heart, "It's higher than your sister's exam back then?" ”

Lin Jie scored 498 points in the exam that year.

"Hmm." Lin Xiao lay down in the bed, listening to the familiar sound of the spring bed, the whole person stretched out a little more, and put his hands behind his head, "Anyway, that's it, just wait for the admission notice now." ”

"Then you can get into the second middle school, right?" Lin Changfu really didn't care too much about this.

"I can enter the first middle school," Lin Xiao said simply, and under Lin Changfu's surprised gaze, "I applied for the second middle school." ”

"Why can the first middle school be admitted to the second middle school?" Lin Changfu didn't understand.

Lin Xiao said angrily, "The second middle school can be exempted from tuition for three years, why do you think I should go to the second middle school?" ”

Lin Changfu was silent, sitting there, as if he had lost his energy.

"It's all useless ...... for me"

Lin Xiao didn't want to hear this kind of guilty words at all, not once or twice, she had heard it since she was a child, and she had heard it even more in her previous life, she had long been immune to hearing this kind of words, no matter how much guilt she had, she couldn't stand his demon once, as long as that kind of thought came up, any guilt was a floating cloud.

"Words don't just go into action." Lin Xiao stubbornly blocked such a sentence.

Lin Changfu lowered his head, as if he had nothing to say.

Nearly noon, Zhao Xia went home with a smell of her body, she came back early today, and she could still eat at home, there was only one room, Lin Xiao got up and sat outside the door, and let Zhao Xia take a bath in the house, usually like this, she has long been used to this kind of life.

She sat and looked silently at the Wenzhou people on the right, a very large house at the door, all dried fish, exposed to the sun for two days, flies flying everywhere, Wenzhou people came out from time to time to drive away flies, saving the dried fish from being left with flies -

"Ah Xiao, have you been to see the results? How many points did you score? ”

After eating a good meal at the house next door, he washed the pot at the door of his house, and when he saw Lin Xiao sitting outside, he asked curiously.

Lin Xiao glanced back, "Five hundred and sixty points." ”

"Ah, it's so tall," the person next door looked at her enviously, "Karma is smart, I can get five hundred and sixty points, unlike our daughter, I can't read no matter how I read, so I am sad to death......"

Lin Xiao didn't answer, and sat silently on the side.

After washing the pot in the house next door, I entered the house, and when I saw that the two children still refused to do their homework and were still watching TV, I couldn't help but get angry and scolded the two children, "I don't study well, I only know how to watch TV, and I watch TV all day long. Everyone has changed their scores to a high school, what about you, if I can go to a regular high school in the future, I will be thankful! ”

Lin Xiao heard these words clearly, the sound insulation of this house is really not very good, even if the door is closed, she can still hear it, her face is expressionless, and she doesn't even glance at the door.

Zhao Xia was taking a bath, listening to the words "change well" in her ears, and she was very angry, but she didn't say it to her face, and she couldn't make noise, so she just pulled the words to her little daughter, and when she opened the door, she used a little strength, and the door panel hit the wall heavily, which was a "warning" to the next door.

Washbasin, footbasin, she took it out and poured water, threw the dirty clothes directly in the footbasin, put some washing powder, soaked it first and washed it later.

Her hair is still wet, and she doesn't have a hair dryer at home, so she waits for it to dry naturally.

"What about volunteering, did you fill it in?" Zhao Xia looked at Lin Xiao, who had been sitting outside the door and had not moved, and pulled her up, "Did you fill in the first middle school?" ”

Lin Xiao walked into the house, and the whole person seemed to be confused, "No." ”

Zhao Xia was shocked, "What did you fill in?" ”

"Second middle." Lin Xiao's answer was concise, and there were no superfluous words.

"Is it a mistake?" Zhao Xia casually heated up some food and ate it, "Go back to your head teacher and say that it's okay to refill it?" ”

"The second middle school can be exempted from tuition for three years." Lin Xiao still repeated this sentence again.

Zhao Xia's hand holding chopsticks obviously hesitated, how could she not know the meaning of this, because the family had no money, and she might not be able to afford her two daughters to study, so the younger daughter did not choose a better No. 1 middle school, but chose the local No. 2 middle school, "I, we can fight the ...... of difficulties and difficulties"

Before the words were spoken, Lin Xiao interrupted, "Are we really poor?" Is it really poor? ”

She asked a little urgently.

Zhao Xia was speechless.

It's really not poor, both of them can earn money, it stands to reason how they can save a little money, when Lin Xiao and Lin Jie were young, the family conditions were still the best among several brothers and sisters, and then slowly, Lin Changfu died from time to time, and he had to clean up the mess for him-

It's getting poorer and poorer.

The main culprit is Lin Changfu.

Lin Xiao still remembers the events of his previous life, and remembers deeply that he can't even find a few cents at home, even if he buys rice, he buys it for five catties and five catties, Zhao Xia is embarrassed to buy it, it is all Lin Xiao to buy, it is said that people are poor, and the amount of food is also large, and five catties of rice is only enough to eat for two or three days.

As long as you have hands and feet, are you still afraid of starvation?

It is not to die of hunger, but it is too humble to live.

The culprit of this qiē is Lin Changfu, he took the money for a while, but left a mess, asked the three of them to clean up, and asked the debtor to come to the door to scold, all of which made her remember deeply, and later if a stranger came to the house to knock on the door, it would make her feel that she did not come to the door to ask for debts.

"Just study hard." Zhao Xia faced her daughter's dark eyes and slowly looked away, "Don't worry about the family's affairs, the living expenses are still affordable at home, don't worry." ”

Not worried?

Lin Xiao was worried.

"Are you going to divorce him?"

Lin Xiao asked.

Zhao Xia looked at her in shock, "What did you say?" ”

The word "divorce" has never entered her head, but it came out of the mouth of her youngest daughter, who had just finished the high school entrance examination, as if she had heard the strangest words in the world, the harshest words.

Lin Xiao knew as soon as she looked at her expression that she had never had this kind of thought, even if she had been disappointed once in her previous life, she was inevitably disappointed in this life, and exhaled, "I didn't say anything." ”

Zhao Xia looked at the calm little daughter, and felt more and more that the little daughter was a little wrong, as if it had started since the typhoon last time, she didn't talk like before, she was much more silent, and it was completely different from before, - her temperament had changed, "He's not good, it's your father's ...... after all."

It's your dad after all!

This sentence was like a magic spell, encircling Lin Xiao, even if she fell asleep, she woke up from her dream several times.

Lin Changfu has been diligent these days, like something, he never asked Lin Xiao to help with some housework, he cleaned up by himself when he was able, and he also changed his tricks to buy some of Lin Xiao's favorite dishes to cook, and he was happy every day.

After the admission letter of the second middle school came, his joy came to the point and he bragged everywhere.

Lin Xiao was still silent.

Looking at the admission letter of the county No. 2 middle school that I had never seen in my previous life, with her name written on it, I couldn't help but hug the admission letter, as if I was holding the most precious thing-

She finally completed her first goal, studied hard, and was admitted to a key high school, although she finally chose the second middle school.

Along with the admission letter of the second middle school, there is also the school's accommodation fee, 200 yuan a semester, six students live together, and the bunk beds.

Zhao Xia handed two hundred yuan to Lin Xiao, not two hundred yuan, but four fifty yuan made up of two hundred yuan, I don't know where to put it, very wrinkled, after thinking about it, I gave Lin Xiao another ten yuan, "Go to school today, if you can't find a classroom, go to your sister, you know?" ”

Lin Xiao took the money, and faintly could smell the smell of shrimp, looking at Zhao Xia, whose fingers were covered with ointment, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she had the idea of impatiently wanting to escape, leaving Zhao Xia far away, then she would not feel sorry for Zhao Xia-

An honest woman, who only attended a literacy class, could only write her name in the end, thinking that she could get rid of those endless farm work by marrying into a fishing village, but after marrying into a fishing village, she was even more miserable, this is her mother, Zhao Xia.

And she couldn't say anything, her heart was too heavy.

"Don't peel shrimp, I have my own living expenses." Lin Xiao walked to the door and finally couldn't help whispering.

Zhao Xia glared at her, "You can leave the money alone, don't move." ”

Lin Xiao wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything.

In a word, she doesn't have much power now.

It's also strange, others can live a prosperous life when they are reborn, why is she so aggrieved?

Lin Xiao didn't bring much to report to the school, just the admission notice, and the two hundred and ten yuan on her body, and nothing else, there was no good-looking satchel, so she took an envelope, waited for the bus for a long time, and handed it to the conductor for ten yuan-

The conductor found her nine dollars.

The bus did not report the stop, and all the qiē relied on shouting.

"The second middle school has arrived, the second middle school has arrived, and those who have got off the bus get off quickly!"

Lin Xiao sat by the window, watching the car from this end of the town to the other end of the town, the long fishing port road, you can smell the fishy smell, even if you go to the county No. 2 Middle School here at the foot of some places, you can still smell some smell-

She got out of the car.

Standing at the gate of the county No. 2 middle school.

Did you come to No. 2 Middle School in your last life, or is it exactly the same as in your memory, the stout camphor tree is inside the school gate, blocking the campus from the outside, and it seems that outsiders are not allowed to peep at this school at will, which inexplicably makes people feel a sense of majesty.

From the school gate, all the way to the new student registration place.

There are already a lot of students at the new student registration desk.

Lin Xiao couldn't tell what kind of mood she felt, most of these people she didn't know, and she would have to get to know new people and new teachers in the future, as if these new people could really bring her a new life.

She couldn't help but laugh, from the bottom of her heart.

It was as if the dark clouds in my heart had dispersed all of a sudden, and I could no longer find a trace.

"Classmate, let me go, let me in," she simply exerted the vitality of a young person, intending to squeeze in the middle of the crowd of classmates, shouting while squeezing back, "Let one go, classmate, let one let ......"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, line up one by one," in the end, seeing that it was crowded into a bunch here, the teacher who was squeezed into a pile of people simply rolled the notebook at hand into a horn shape, and shouted at the students, "All one by one, no one is in a hurry, all line up, line up, report one by one!" ”

When I was shouted like this, it seemed that everyone had calmed down.

The students were stunned for a moment, and then quickly lined up, Lin Xiao quickly grabbed a seat smartly, and really let her squeeze a good seat, the person who looked at the crow crow from the front, and the person who looked at the crow crow from the back.

"Lin School?"

There are also people from the same school who call her.

Lin Xiao immediately turned around and waved his hand to the other party, waving vigorously, but he was actually not familiar with that classmate.

is the female classmate in the class, that is, the female classmate who was not admitted to the first middle school, and cried - Xie Yan, in fact, speaking of which, Lin School was in the same class as Xie Yan in elementary school, and later was not in the same class when she was promoted to junior high school, and was assigned to the same class in the third year of junior high school, she couldn't help but compare Xie Yan's height, if she remembers correctly, Xie Yan's height seems to have stopped?

"Why didn't you go to No. 1 Middle School?"

Xie Yan asked in the back.

Lin Xiao turned around, "I like No. 2 Middle School, and my sister is also there." ”

That's right, I like the three years of tuition free in the second middle school, and there may be a scholarship, how could she not like it!

"Hurry up, what's the rubbing, the front is empty, you still haven't gone up?"

As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, he was impatiently interrupted by the boys in the line behind him.

Lin Xiao glared at him, didn't look at him carefully, followed forward, took out the notice and showed it to the teacher in charge of registration, and the teacher looked at it, and there was a kind smile in his eyes.

"Is it Lin Xiao?" He asked kindly.

Lin Xiao nodded, extremely well-behaved.

"You did well in the exam, do you want to continue to work hard in high school? The school will start military training for a week first, and then divide the classes, Teacher Gong, the students in your class, you take them away," he said and shouted at the middle-aged female teacher on the side, and the action of issuing the ticket in his hand was not slow at all, and he opened the ticket quickly, "Two hundred school fees, Teacher Gong is your class teacher-"

Teacher Gong is a little fat, not very fat, a white short-sleeved shirt, no other patterns, with a small floral skirt, wearing a pair of brown-framed glasses, when Lin Xiao walked towards her, she picked up two sets of school uniforms and gave them to Lin Xiao.

"Hello teacher." Lin Xiao also said hello.

Teacher Gong smiled and nodded, "You have to work hard in the third year of high school." ”

Lin Xiao nodded naturally.

Of course she has to work hard, otherwise why would she come to No. 2 Middle School!

Holding two sets of school uniforms, she was thinking about whether she was looking for her sister Lin Jie, when Xie Yan, who had already completed the admission procedures, followed, "Hey, Lin Xiao, what a coincidence, we are in the same class, I thought you and Liu Rongrong and they went to the first middle school together, but I didn't expect you to go-"

Xie Yan was very happy, it was rare to meet her classmates, although the relationship was not good before, but it was a class at least, at least a little better than those who didn't know anything at all, "Do you really like No. 2 Middle School so much?" I didn't go because I was a little bit short, and if I didn't come if I had enough points, why didn't you get in? I don't believe what you say you like about Erzhong. ”

Some students, even if they are in the same class, may not have had the opportunity to speak, just like Lin Xiao and Xie Yan, it seems that they have not spoken much, people are not one hanging, it is difficult to have the opportunity to huddle together to talk, but today I heard Xie Yan say this, I believe that this person is very upright-

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth almost twitched.

"My family is poor." Lin Xiao still decided to tell the truth, "I can get three years of tuition free here, why don't I come?" ”

Xie Yan blinked, "Huh? ”

"If you don't hear clearly, forget it." Lin Xiao liked to see her stupid look and continued to walk forward.

Xie Yan stood stunned for a moment before catching up, and cautiously told Lin Xiao, "It turns out that it is true that they said that your family is poor, I thought they were just talking......

"It's true." Lin Xiao didn't care at all.

Xie Yan suddenly gave a thumbs up, "It's really thoughtful, it's really good to be exempt from three years, if it were me, I would do the same!" ”

"Not bad, right?" Lin Xiao still winked at her childishly, and graciously grabbed Xie Yan's arm, "Let's go, classmate Xie Yan, we still have to be classmates for three years." ”

The friendship of girls is so strange, even if the middle one is no longer a young girl, it is still inexplicable because it can get better with one sentence.

"Actually, when the scores came out, I thought I was almost finished," Xie Yan exhaled, "Liu Rongrong and they all went to the first middle school, and I was alone in the second middle school, it was uncomfortable to think about it, fortunately, there are still you-"

"What's that, try harder," Lin Xiao is not good at comforting people, it is best to say such painless words, "Look at three years later, who is good and who is bad?" ”

Xie Yan kicked his feet, as if he had made up his mind, "Then work hard, work hard!" ”

Study hard, go up every day, this is not in vain, if you want to go up every day, you must study hard, -- live in the same dormitory, the book is just sent down, the teacher has not yet taken class, Xie Yan has already worked hard, the gate was closed at half past nine at night, she took a flashlight to read in the bed-

Lin Xiaozhen was stunned by her hard work.

The military training instructors are from a small unit not far from them.

On a hot day, those who were better treated had already found a place where they couldn't get the sun to train at that time, and the girls in their class and another class in Lin School were particularly lucky, always standing under the sun to train, Xie Yan was originally white-skinned, and they were all tanned-

Not to mention Lin School, it is even more tanned.

The counselor was very patriotic, and the girls were not interested in having any thoughts about him.

"Ah, you see someone fainted—"

Lin Zheng was sitting and resting, but he was pushed by Xie Yan in a fuss, and his body almost tilted to the lawn on the side, and before he could protest, he saw that someone had really fallen, and it was still on the boy's side.

Xie Yan hurriedly rushed over, don't look at her small size, full of impact, she rushed out of the distance at once, where is there still the posture like a dead loach just now-

Lin Xiao didn't move, he was too lazy to move.

After a while, the people dispersed, and Xie Yan also returned.

"It's still a boy, I haven't been exposed to the sun at all, and I'm suffering from heat stroke." Xie Yan looked disgusted, "Just the last time you reported to work, the male classmate who spoke behind you made him talk so much, he deserved heat stroke!" ”

Lin Xiao looked dazed, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Appearance.

"Anyway, the man's big mouth won't end well." Xie Yan came to a conclusion.
