Chapter 126: The Gift
Su Mo became the only guest of the orchard, Xiao Xi, who was recognized, had a smile on her face, the warmth that had never appeared in her life was penetrating the happy cells in her body, and the little girl who pouted in the past had a little more look on her face, which made people look different.

The only thing in the orchard that can come and go freely except for the lazy puppy raised by Xiao Xi, that is, Su Mo can come over at any time, this privilege makes Su Mo proud for a while, and he also feels the joy of being treated differently by a girl, all the so-called bad things about Xiao Xi, he can't listen to it, in his heart Xiao Xi is a good girl, and the indifference on the outside is just a disguise brought about by being excluded and neglected for a long time.
Those guys don't know how good Xiaoxi looks when he laughs, although he occasionally has a little violence, but that's also said in the past, there is no force, how can a girl be safe alone, fortunately, the people in the village are relatively simple, although they don't like Xiaoxi, but no one has done anything excessive, just watching from afar.
Xiaoxi has never been to school, and naturally he doesn't know how to read, when Su Mo knows that Xiaoxi can't read and write, and he is desperate to recognize words, he dances happily, this is an excellent opportunity to leave a good impression in Xiaoxi's heart.
The branch wrote the word "I" on the ground, and Xiao Xi described it very seriously, although his hand strength was not small, but it was not as neat as Su Mo's.
"This kind of thing doesn't happen overnight! Just remember to practice often! Su Mo instructed.
Xiao Xi nodded, a little lost in her eyes, Su Mo didn't speak, she knew that it was Xiao Xi's fragile and sensitive place, some things were not taken care of by adults, and it was really not good, Xiao Xi could only live with the harvest of the orchard, if she went to school, it meant that there was no one to take care of the orchard, then she would probably not even be able to fill her stomach at that time, so she had to give up her desire for school and work silently for survival.
"When I'm older, I'll take you out and go to the city, okay?" Su Mo looked at Xiao Xi's pure face and said seriously: "In a strange place, probably no one will discriminate against you, speaking of which, when I am older and have the ability to support myself, let's go together!" ”
Xiao Xi's eyes bloomed with brilliance in an instant, she was very eager, but in a blink of an eye, she dimmed, and whispered: "You will definitely go to school outside in a few years, what am I going to do, what should I do when this orchard is deserted!" I don't have that much money to rent a house in a big city! ”
"There's me!" Su Mo patted his chest: "As a man, I will definitely take care of you, don't worry, it's no problem, it's not a problem!" ”
"Let's talk about it!" Xiaoxi's lack of interest, she has experienced the hardships of life, and her soft shoulders bear the burden of life too early, which makes her understand that the difficulty of survival is far from being as simple as "leave it to me", not to mention that it is two inexperienced teenagers, even if they are not good at survival in a few years, most of them are also bleeding.
Xiao Xi's every move, Su Mo saw it, although he didn't say anything, but he secretly made up his mind to let Xiao Xi go with him to a city where no one discriminated against.
Su Mo, who returned home, was called to him by his father solemnly, "Are you going to the orchard?" ”
There is only one place for the orchard in Dad's mouth, Xiaoxi's apple orchard, as the people in the village call it, and over time it has become the only Dai Chen, and the orchard has also become synonymous with ominous, if it is not possible, these two words will never be said from people's mouths, as if these two are ominous, and they will suffer if they are said.
"Dad, it's not what you think!" Su Mo stubbornly looked up at his father and said, "Xiaoxi is a good girl, there will be nothing wrong, I often go there and nothing happens to prove it!" ”
He was greeted with a stunned slap in the face, which made his face hot, and I looked at my father dumbfounded, although my father has always had a very serious expression, but he has never hit him, which is due to his excellent performance all the time, and obedience to his father, but only in this matter is where he cannot compromise.
"Don't go in the future!" Dad walked slowly into the back room with his back on his back.
"Why, exactly? Is it just because of unreliable nonsense that a person's life is decided? Su Mo lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and thought unconvinced, "Why do you decide a person's life like this, and it's a little girl, don't you think it's too cruel?" ”
Su Mo got up and put the pocket money given by his father into the hollowed-out hardcover book, the book that was seven or eight centimeters thick was hollowed out, and there were several layers of paper money in it, and every day Su Mo would put the saved money in it, looking forward to taking Xiaoxi to a place where no one discriminated against her.
It's not that he doesn't know the difficulties of life, even if he hasn't suffered Xiaoxi's kind of suffering, but he can also see that he knows how difficult Xiaoxi is, if he goes to a strange place with enthusiasm, I'm afraid he will suffer more, as a responsible man, how could this kind of thing happen, so he began to secretly save money from the first two months.
By the time he graduates from high school, he will probably be able to save a lot of money, at least it won't make Xiaoxi too sad in a strange place, which is a gift he prepared for Xiaoxi.
In the only house in the orchard, Xiao Xi silently looked at the lamp on her head, she did not lack the courage to leave here, but there was no way to survive after leaving, she also thought about leaving this place that made her very lonely, but after Su Mo was here, it became nostalgic for her.
She got up and went to the head of the bed, and took the small wooden box, in which there were bills of various denominations pressed under the puppets of her childhood, and it didn't look like a lot.
Originally, she worked hard to run the orchard alone, and she had a good life, but how could she save more money, all of which she saved and saved! She also looked forward to going to other places with Su Mo one day, at least no one discriminated against her and regarded her as an ominous place.
But looking at the thin banknotes, there are still a lot of more! I've heard that everything you do in a big city costs money, and you have to save at least enough money to barely survive!
Xiao Xi closed the box in a daze, and began to practice words by the light, writing the word "I" on the ground one by one, when the last stroke was successful, Xiao Xi shook his head, always bad control, more practice, then practice more, anyway, there is nothing to do.
Writing and writing, she thought of Su Mo's attentive appearance when she wrote, and the corners of her mouth flashed a subtle sweet smile, interesting guy, since she knew her for a few months, Su Mo brought her too much happiness and care that she had never experienced, or she didn't know that it was the youthful feelings that people remembered and reluctant to give up for a lifetime.
But as long as she thought of Su Mo, she had a soft feeling in her heart, that guy's shadow always jumped out inadvertently, making her stunned for a long time.
Xiao Xi patted his head and laughed softly: "Naughty guy! ”
Satisfied, climbed into bed and slept with the quilt, since she met Su Mo, she always felt that this was a person who could protect her, and even the habit of falling asleep after a long time to overcome the fear of darkness has become a peaceful sleep as long as she thinks about that guy's smirk.
"It's a nice feeling!" With a sweet smile on the corner of Xiaoxi's mouth, she fell asleep.
Time flies very slowly, for Su Mo, his father's slap is not small, and his face still hurts, but he doesn't think about it, he just thinks about how to sneak into the orchard to see Xiaoxi tomorrow without being seen, this is a difficult job.
At this time, Su Mo felt that he was very much like an agent on TV, it was better to behave better first, stop going to see Xiaoxi in the morning, go to class obediently, go home obediently at noon, and stay with Xiaoxi for a while in the afternoon under the pretext of school extra classes, and go home later.
Speaking of which, there is nothing to show off, but Su Mo always feels very exciting, but it is very irritating that he can't get along with Xiaoxi for so long every day.
The next morning, Xiao Xi, who got up very early as usual, didn't wait for Su Mo and gnawed an apple in disappointment.
At noon, Su Mo still didn't come, kicking the grass in the orchard, Xiao Xi thought: Probably something's wrong, it's quite hard to study, maybe I'm so tired that I fall asleep, otherwise I won't come to see me.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, I saw Su Mo stealing into the orchard from a distance, and the haze on Xiao Xi's face sitting on the branch was completely dispersed, and he laughed out loud, jumped down from the branch, and grabbed Su Mo's ear: "What are you doing, you want to pretend to be a thief again, don't you owe a beating!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Lighten it up, you'll be pulled off! Su Mo rubbed his ears in protest.
"Say, why didn't you come to see me in the morning and noon!" Xiao Xi snorted and looked good separately.
"My dad won't let me come!" Su Mo said truthfully, he didn't have anything to hide from Xiaoxi.
Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, silently let go of his hand, and looked at Su Mo: "That...... Don't come here in the future, you'll be beaten! Saying that, her tears were about to fall, but she desperately couldn't hold back and didn't cry, they are still children, many things are decided by adults, Su Mo is a well-known obedient baby, his father won't let him come, he will definitely not come.
Xiaoxi is about to lose the amount of pain and sadness in her chest, and the emotion that has not bloomed into the most beautiful flower is about to die, and the people in the world who don't dislike themselves may become passers-by in the future, and it is sad to think about it.
"Wow! Don't cry, don't cry! Su Mo hurriedly helped Xiaoxi wipe away the tears that he finally couldn't hold back: "Dad won't let me come, I'll come too, don't worry!" ”
"Really!" Xiao Xi's eyes widened, just like the first time he beat Su Mo in the orchard, but this time his eyes were full of heart-wrenching tears.
"Really, I didn't lie to you!" Su Mo carefully wiped Xiaoxi's tears, there was something called love in his heart, and it was not until this moment that he was sure that he was in love with this silly girl, it was definitely not a joke, it was definitely not just a simple desire to marry her, but the kind of relationship that he wanted to spend his whole life protecting her and being with her.
