"The water is not so high at night, and you two sisters can still sleep, and your hearts are big." Lin Changfu had a smile on his face, as if he was in a very good mood, "Your mother is worried about you to death at night, so let me come back to see you as soon as there is a ferry in the morning." ”

The two Lin Jie sisters had no impression of this typhoon and flooding at all, and they couldn't say that they were afraid of anything.

Lin Jie has never been out, Lin Xiao has been out, she knows what it is like outside, at this time, she doesn't want to talk, she is sullen, she wants to keep everything in her heart.

"It's cold, and you still eat this orange sherbet?" Lin Changfu saw three orange syrups on the table, so he said, "Eat less, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's a little cold after the typhoon, and it's always good to eat less cold things." ”

"Yes." Lin Jie responded, a little impatient.

Lin Changfu was not unhappy, he was still eating soaked rice, and ate some salted fish from time to time.

"Just eat lunch casually, I'll sleep first, I didn't fall asleep at all," Lin Changfu finished eating, poured the bowl with the water in the big water tank outside, and lay down directly in the bed, "Be quiet on the TV, don't make noise about me." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jie turned off the TV.

The room fell silent for a moment, as if only his breathing could be heard.

Lin Xiao stood there, wooden, not only people are wooden, but even the heart is wooden.

His eyes fell on Lin Changfu, who was asleep in the bed, there was resentment, there was Mu Ran, obviously he had been liberated, why did he have to let her do it all over again, and be tortured like this again, such a father?

He's normal today, there's nothing wrong with him, he's just as gentle as all dads.

But-

Lin Xiao lowered his head and kept staring at his hands, the conditions at home were unsatisfactory, and he had not done much housework, his hands were tender, but they were a little dark, as black as the skin on her body, and decades later, these hands, these hands, were full of calluses, and they were still fighting for life, living to support such a father.

Finally so tired that she closed her eyes, she thought she could sleep well, but when she woke up, it was already ninety-seven, and this year, she just happened to be in the third year of junior high school.

She was slowly sitting in the small chair, her parents were doing business together, and life was extremely difficult, the most important reason was that her father, a man named Lin Changfu, was doing bastard things day after day, year after year, so that their family sometimes couldn't find a dime or two at home.

It's really poor.

Lin Xiao covered his face with his hands, he didn't dare to recall the things he had experienced, the tattered things she sealed in her distant memories, he gambled, lost nine out of ten bets, borrowed money when he gambled, and everyone who could have a relationship with the family went to borrow money, there were any excuses, such as she broke her leg, and her sister had a high fever.

There are also those who do not borrow, and when they cannot borrow money, they take the money from selling fish for others.

For example, her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law has a boat, and her uncle also has a boat, and the two uncles have been taken fish money by him several times, and they have never received any money, and it is not very much, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Every time her uncle came to the door, her mother cried, and then lay in bed and couldn't get up for days.

Lin Xiao's memory is very clear, and her whole body is stiff.

At one point, it was the most violent.

She thought carefully about that time, when did it happen, that time, her mother and him almost divorced, but unfortunately the marriage certificate of the two people has long been missing, and if you want to divorce, you must reapply for a marriage certificate, and her mother came back in a daze.

In the end, they were not divorced.

Later, she once sorted out her things and accidentally found the marriage certificate, but she couldn't find it at all.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank, as if it were next month.

It's next month, next month.

She looked up at Lin Changfu who was asleep in the bed again, curled up, like a boiled prawn, the thin quilt just pressed her stomach, she was very thin, so thin that she couldn't find meat, so she fell asleep like that, and seemed to be very tired.

Lin Changfu, who was asleep, had no harm at all.

He is not a big evil, he has never beaten a child, a man who does not beat a child is a lifelong knot between her and her sister Lin Jie, which directly affects their lives, she dare not get married, and her sister does not take marriage seriously.

The only thought was to get rid of him.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her fingernails were nailed to her palms, and she didn't care if it hurt.

Lin Changfu slept until nearly noon before waking up, simply cooked, fried a green vegetable, and made a bowl of winter melon soup, plus a bowl of salted fish, the three of them ate like this, the dishes and chopsticks were washed and cleaned up by Lin Changfu, as soon as he went out, only two sisters were left at home.

The two sisters didn't sleep together at night, the spring bed spring was about to be in a state of strike, the two sisters squeezed together to sleep, and the spring bed drooped down, Lin Xiao slept in the spring bed, quite unaccustomed, quietly raised his head and looked at the bed, Lin Jie was sleeping soundly-

Just after a typhoon, the weather is still a little cool, and the fan is not on.

The only fan was placed on the stool, facing the bed.

It's dark outside.

It's nearly midnight.

I couldn't sleep left and right, so that Lin Xiao's heart seemed to have a lot of things running, and the strangest thing was that those things couldn't rush to her all at once, so that she could make it clear-

It's just that her heart is hard.

There is no better than her that knows what her home is like, when it is interrupted, it will be chaotic, she remembers it, remembers it firmly, even if it is done again, she will not forget it.

It's good that she has a mother, what do you want her father to do?

Thinking of her mother, who had worked hard all her life, she tried to widen her eyes, trying to see the night clearly, and the virtue of industriousness was imprinted on her mother at all times—just as she tried to sit up, the spring bed rang, and the sound, not heavy, seemed so heavy in the middle of the night.

She quietly looked at the bed again, and it was so dark that she couldn't see anything, as if she had been splashed with ink.

Sunny.

Sweeping away the coolness of yesterday, it is hot in the early morning.

Lin Xiao still woke up after his nose was pinched.

As if fighting, she quickly packed up and ran to school.

This time when she walked out, the water outside quickly receded, and she didn't have to tread water like yesterday, and what she knew for a long time still made her a little happier.

Xincheng Middle School.

The newly built teaching building, as well as the office building, are all brand new, even if it has been used for a year, it is still new, Lin Xiao stood at the door of the building, looking at the marble carved on the outside like a dragon flying and dancing like a phoenix in four big characters, and a small payment, almost over fifty meters before walking to the teaching building.

The teaching building and office building are integrated, the whole shape is like a U-shaped magnet, and there are some flowers and trees planted in the middle, many of which she doesn't recognize, and the turf is spread there, and at a glance, the eyes are full of green.

The teaching building is a total of four floors, from the first to the third year of junior high school, each grade has eight classes, a total of twenty four classes, the number of each class is not consistent, there are many, there are few, but the minimum is not less than 40 people.

The class of 40 people is considered small, Lin Xiaojin's key class, there are 70 people in a class, and the key class is a total of two classes, and almost all the people with slightly better grades are circled, leaving those students who have not received scores or stay in their own classes, or are assigned to other classes.

When Lin School arrived, the music was coming from the school radio, fierce and high-spirited, encouraging people to work hard.

All the junior high school students lined up in front of the office, according to the order of each class, the boys to the boys, the girls to the girls, a total of 360 people, all densely lined up, the whole school only the third year of the grade group opened.

Lin Xiao was wearing a light-colored top, with a pair of denim shorts that were still sunflower patterns, not bought by herself, but worn by her sister to her, and a pair of slippers on her feet, not yesterday, the pair that had been soaked in water yesterday had been degummed, and she didn't have time to mend the thread, so she had to wear slippers to school.

Lin Xiaoren is not tall, only 1.50 meters at this time, the queue is quite high, Zhang Mingli is in front of her, if you want to say who is the best in junior high school, it is naturally Zhang Mingli, Zhang Mingli is whiter than Lin Xiao, her hair is tied with a knife tail braid, wearing thin high-waisted pants, plus a white short-sleeved shirt, it looks whiter.

She turned her head, her nose wrinkled, as if she had smelled something, but she raised her hand to cover her mouth, squeezed her eyes towards Lin Xiao, and her eyes immediately fell to the class that was some distance away from them, "I asked Teacher Chen just now, we can all go to one class." ”

Although Lin Xiao had known about this for a long time, he still didn't reply to her bluntly that she had known about it for a long time.

She just showed a surprised expression, "Teacher Chen sued you?" ”

Zhang Mingli stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice, "No, I didn't ask, in fact, I went to Teacher Chen's office and saw that there are a total of ten people in our class, it seems that five are divided into one class, five are divided into three classes, we are still together, and the class leader is estimated to be going to three classes......

"Really?"

Before Lin Xiao could answer, a classmate interjected.

Her eyes are bright, like stars in the sky, she is not tall, and she is still in front of Zhang Mingli, her short-sleeved shirt is trimmed with lace, and she wears a skirt that reaches the knee of the same style, "What about me, what about me, have you seen it?" ”

This is Chen Li, the same table in the first year of junior high school, and in the same class in the second year of junior high school, Lin Xiao's height soared a little, Chen Li's height still stayed there, and the seats were arranged according to height, and Lin Xiao, who was a little taller, was assigned to the back table, and Chen Li was still sitting in the first row.

"Students!"

Without waiting for Zhang Mingli to answer, the head of the grade group had Qiu Ming standing in front of the students of the entire grade group, with glasses on the bridge of his nose, not myopic glasses, but reading glasses, medium height, people have some horizontal development, when he spoke, he was used to stopping when he started.
