There are several steps in front of the shop.

Lin Xiao quickly ran up and handed over a piece of money, "Buy five orange syrup, it must be very hard." ”

"Where's your dad?" Lin Ah Gong, who opened a small shop, asked her, slowly took out five oranges from the freezer and handed them to her directly, "Are you going back to your hometown?" ”

When Lin Xiao heard that she was asking her father, she was a little wary in her heart, "Grandpa, my father borrowed money from you and didn't pay it back?" ”

Lin Ah Gong was slightly embarrassed, and quickly denied it, "There is no thing, there is no thing." ”

"No, it's good if there isn't." Lin Xiao didn't believe it, and didn't chase this question, and didn't care that there was still a mahjong stall in this store, and the table was full at this time, she took five oranges and jumped down the steps, and ran all the way home, don't look at her jumping happily, my heart is very bad.

Her dad is really hard to say.

It is said that happy families are all similar, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes.

Her family belongs to that kind of unfortunate family.

Lin Xiao has always thought so, so much so that she later complained about how her mother found such a man, and she has never divorced, she has never understood this matter.

"Sister, here you go." She diligently cut a hole for her sister and handed the orange slow to her sister, "Just now, the shopkeeper asked about Dad, and I asked him if Dad had borrowed money from him, and he said no-"

As soon as Lin Jie took a mouthful of ** orange syrup, she almost choked, "cough, cough, cough-"

Lin Xiao hurriedly patted her sister on the back.

After a long time, Lin Jie felt better, and her voice was a little soft, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Lin Xiao refused to admit this, and stubbornly met her sister's gaze, "You know, where is Dad not going to borrow money?" Is there anyone he can't borrow money from? ”

"He's been in business lately." Lin Jie tried to defend him, but he was a little weak, "I shouldn't go to borrow money, I haven't heard of him gambling recently-"

"Don't gamble, those sixty pieces of mahjong are enough for him to lose." Some dark memories flashed through Lin Xiao's head, and he immediately said it, "He has itchy hands, so he will go, do you remember when he was at home?" ”

Lin Jie was silent.

Lin Xiao bit the orange syrup, cold and cold.

Her father used to be a fisherman, and when she was seven or eight years old, she was on the boat and broke her leg by a net drawer, and lost her labor, if it was just that she lost her labor, this person would be crippled, and his heart would be crippled, and others said that he had a broken leg, and his heart was crippled, but in Lin Xiao's opinion, it had nothing to do with a crippled leg, and his nature was like this, and he hadn't been exposed much before, because he was still making money.

People are always contradictions.

Even if Lin Xiao dislikes her, she will always feel uncomfortable when she hears others say that her father is bad.

I know that it is that kind of person, or uncomfortable, probably remember those warmth, sometimes I will always be confused by these warmth, silently eating icicles contaminated with orange flavor, for a while, she will continue to read the book silently, contact the homework questions to see, it's really not that she's smart, with a golden finger that can be remembered at a glance, all the content that I remember after turning the book is linked to the homework questions, and it's very easy to substitute it.

She stared at the subject, and she really felt like she was in a god.

But I'm a little distressed, what's the use of God?

Can you earn money or can you get out of your current life?

From this small room, she could see her hopeless life.

Lin Jie was still a little strange, looking back at her really doing her homework, "Will you do it?" ”

Her younger sister, she knows, is a little clever, relying on cleverness is never willing to work hard, it's really a rare thing to work hard to turn books and do homework like today, is it possible that she has enlightenment? Do you want to work hard in the third year of junior high school?

"No, there are still some things that can't be done." Lin Xiao does not know how to do it, there are always some topics, and she can't find the same type in the book, so she has nowhere to start, and her teeth grit the ballpoint pen, "I don't seem to have learned, it's really strange, isn't it just summer homework, why are the topics so difficult?" ”

Before Lin Jie could answer, she heard Lin Xiao continue, "What do you say Dad is thinking in his head?" ”

Lin Jie's face suddenly sank, and her tone was a little stiff, "Who knows what he's thinking?" ”

"I heard that he said that he would have a nephew to raise him in the future," Lin Xiao carefully said the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, carefully observing her sister's face, "Do you think that the two of us are unproductive, and it would be good for him to have a son?" ”

Lin Jie's face suddenly became ugly.

"Who told you all this trash?"

She glared at Lin Xiao.

In that way, her eyes were big and a little more watery, but she didn't cry, just stared at her.

Lin Xiao has always been afraid of her sister, her sister always reminds her of her aunt, her aunt glared, she looks fierce, this is indeed similar to her eldest sister, she quietly avoided her gaze, lowered her head, and stared at her Chinese textbook, "I have heard it many times." ”

"He's a son himself, what do you think he did to Grandma?" Lin Jie asked her rhetorically.

Grandma is their grandmother, if grandma is not married to grandpa, then grandma may just be their cousin and grandmother, when they fled, several families fled together, and her grandma and grandpa are cousins and sisters, so they got married.

Grandma lives alone in her hometown, and she hasn't seen her father go back to see it, let alone give living expenses or anything, and she doesn't necessarily have to bring some food to the house.

Lin Xiao pouted, and didn't spit out the words in his heart.

She still remembers that her father has always been worried about having two nephews to rely on, and then the two nephews went down the crooked road, and he felt that it was better to rely on his daughter, and the two sisters were not less burdened by him, and supporting their parents was a matter of due diligence.

"Sister, do you have the registration fee?"

Lin Xiao changed the subject.

Her father couldn't go to sea because of his legs, so he started a fish business, the so-called fish business, is to make the difference in the middle, sell fish for others, the people who collect the fish give a price, earn a few cents a catty, if there are not many boats to contact, they can't make any money, so that although they are busy every time, their family is still tight, and even tuition is a problem.

"Mom went to Grandma."

The tuition fee is 900 yuan.

plus the school fee, it costs 200 yuan, a total of 1,000 yuan.

She didn't know the tuition fee yet, she hadn't been assigned to a class yet, and the exact amount of tuition had not yet been announced, but Lin Xiao knew that her tuition fee was 750 yuan, plus 180 yuan for the make-up fee, a total of 930 yuan-she couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was hard for her to remember it so clearly.

After graduating from school, her tuition fees were not paid off.

So much so, after she graduated, she went to school to get a graduation certificate, but the school withheld it and paid off the tuition fee, at that time she still remembered going with her classmates, and when the homeroom teacher told her about this, she was so ashamed that her face turned red, and then she consciously did not contact some classmates.

The tuition fees of the two sisters add up to almost two thousand, for their family, it is simply astronomical, there is no savings, one poor and two white, the family can be regarded as electrical appliances, only the black and white West Lake TV, and the rice cooker, in addition, not to mention whether there is a hair dryer at home.

The grandma that Lin Jie said was their grandmother.

Her mother is a total of five sisters and brothers, and her mother is the worst.

I don't usually interact with my younger siblings.,Unless there's something.,Just squeeze together.。

"Do we have the money to go to school?" Lin Xiao has no bottom in her heart, the situation of her family is clear, she can't be clearer, she lives again, it seems so illusory, compared to before, she is going to forge ahead, forge ahead, or have no money to study, what is she going to do? "What if I don't have any money?"

"When did our family get rich?" Lin Jie was a little unhappy, "You don't want to study anymore?" ”

Lin Xiao still pouted, a little aggrieved, "Then you have to be rich?" ”

"......" Lin Jie was silent.

Money is really a sword on their heads.

No money, no money.

Her mother went to her grandmother's house to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, empty-handed, with no money to buy anything, and she had little say compared to her younger siblings.

And she went, even with a desire, an urgent desire, to be able to borrow some money from her grandmother.

"All doing your homework today?"

Suddenly, a person came to the door, looking a little cheerful, and walked up, his figure was a little oblique.

Thin, medium height, dark skin, darker eyes.

He also carried a nylon bag in his hand, a pair of plastic slippers, the pants were shorts, just up to the knee, two thin calves were exposed under the trouser tube, and there was a shocking scar on the right leg, which was the mark left by wearing a steel leg guard, the leg looked good, and he could walk, but there was a missing bone in the middle, so that he walked high and low.

"Are you scared to death at night?" He asked with a smile, put down the nylon bag, pulled over a wooden stool and sat down, kicked off the slippers on his feet, walked barefoot in the house, stood on the edge of the stove, and turned on the pot, "The ferry came early, your mother and they are still cleaning at your grandmother's house, the pond dam is all down, and they fled to their house in Xinguo in the middle of the night, fortunately their foundation is high......"

"Grandma and Grandpa are all right?" Lin Jie hurriedly asked, "Dad, is Grandma's house completely flooded?" ”

Lin Changfu put all the soaked rice in the pot and started eating, with the salted fish on the table, he ate hula hula, "Yes, it's all flooded, I went to see it before I came back, the house is full of mud, it's too slow to clean up, your mother asked me to come and see you two sisters, and I'll take the ferry to see your grandma later......"

This grandma, that's the sisters' grandmother.

Lin Xiao didn't speak.

I haven't spoken.

I don't want to say anything more.

This is her father, Lin Changfu, and you can know what his parents expect from him just by looking at his name.

He is the first grandson of the Lin family, he has been favored since he was a child, he grew up in a fishing village, his father is the captain, and he is also the boss of the boat, he is deeply loved by his grandmother, he is spoiled like an eyeball, and he is not allowed to go into the water.

The wish for a name is wonderful, but it is a pity that he has been poor all his life.
