Lu Yi's mother stuffed a business card for Pillow Quan and smiled: "Speaking of which, you and Lu Yi's father are still colleagues." ”

Zhenquan looked down at the business card, hurriedly picked up his clothes and beckoned the whole family to go out, shouting: "How can I let Mr. Lu have a treat, I will invite you to this meal today." ”

Then he quietly poked Lin Hui: "Bring more money, her husband is the leader of my direct leader." ”

The two families found a restaurant with a good environment, and Lu Yi's father insisted on ordering from Pillow Creek, saying: "Today, the two children are the protagonists, so be happy with them." ”

Pillow Quan smiled awkwardly.

"Your family is too low-key, and your children don't even look at the list when they take the first exam. The mathematics of 100 and the language of 98 are written on the big red paper, and the second place, that is, the son-in-law of the director of Rao's family and the total score of your family Pillow Creek are ten points apart. The bulletin board was densely packed with people, all asking whose children were in Pillow Creek. Lu Yi's father patted Pillow Quan's shoulder and said, "Old pillow, I'm really envious." ”

"I didn't even know that my sister was so good at studying, didn't I say that there was a teacher in the village who taught me indiscriminately?

Pillow pouted and looked at Pillow Creek, looking like Pillow Creek was hiding her big things.

Lin Hui glared at her, feeling that what she said was out of place.

"So?" Lu Yi's mother exclaimed a little and said, "The entrance exam for the seventh middle school is very rare, for this exam, our family Lu Yi has been making up classes all summer vacation, and all the teachers of the seventh middle school are pleased." Dandan can still take the first place in the exam like this, so it must be that he usually works hard and has a smart little brain. ”

Lu Yi's mother took Zhuxi's hand and said earnestly: "Dandan, our family Lu Yi is very stupid, in the future, the two of you will be classmates and good friends, if you need help, you can just say it, but you will be more tolerant of our family Lu Yi, the troublemaker." ”

Lu Yi's whole body was wrapped around Zhuxi, and she was face to face, and said, "You told my mother before that your nickname is Dandan, why are you called Dandan?"

"Because my mom loves to draw. What about you, why is your nickname Ah Ning?"

Lu Yi pouted and said, "Because my mother likes to eat lemons." ”

The two children looked at each other, then grinned.

Pillow Xi is very envious of Lu Yi, a kind, innocent and lovely personality like her must have been raised by a very warm and loving family.

If her mom is still alive......

Pillow Creek couldn't help but think, but didn't dare to think about it.

Lin Zheng quickly finished eating and found an excuse to leave, and Zhenyun also wanted to leave, but was pressed on the seat by Lin Hui. The meal was eaten late, and by the end of the day, Pillow Quan was already very drunk.

Lu Yi's father said: "Old pillow, this is happy." ”

Pillow Xi knew very well in his heart that Pillow Quan was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, and all the calculations he and Lin Hui had made before were in vain.

When she got home, Zhuxi said that she wanted to rest, but Lin Hui stopped her and said straight to the point: "Although you have been admitted to the experimental class, the family still can't afford to study for you." ”

Zhuxi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "You can discuss this matter with my father, if you still insist that I drop out of school and go to work, then I will go." ”

The next day, Pillow Quan went to the factory early in the morning, and only came back in the evening, so that Lin Hui could talk to him about Pillow Creek's study.

"How could you drop her out of school! You know what the people in the factory are talking about when they see me today? They are all congratulating me on giving birth to a daughter who can read. I'm telling her to stop studying and go to work, what will others say when they find out?

Lin Hui spread her hands with a straight face and said, "Then where does the money come from for her studies?"

Pillow Quan sighed and snorted: "Then you can only tighten your belt and live, doesn't it say that there is a subsidy? If she studies well, she should also have a scholarship." ”

"Tighten your belt to live?" Lin Hui said with a sarcastic smile: "Pillow Quan, I didn't follow you to live a hard life with you. Even if I can bear it, what should I do with it? What should Lin Zheng do? What did they do wrong because of Pillow Creek?"

Pillow Quan hugged Lin Hui and said: "Wanwan is my sweetheart, how can I be willing to let her live a hard life, since she was a child, she has given what she wants, I have never wronged her." As for Lin Zheng, I was very good to him, and you can see that he beat and kicked me in Pillow Creek and didn't do anything about it. ”

"Anyway, our family can't give out this money. Lin Hui said resolutely.

"What then?"

"You go to her grandmother and ask for it. said that the family couldn't afford to study in Pillow Creek. Hasn't she been looking forward to studying in Pillow Creek and going to college? If you ask her for this money, she will definitely give it. ”

"She doesn't have a retirement salary, where will she get the money?"

"Didn't you say that there is still some land, and if you sell it, you will have money, although it is not worth much. ”

......

Pillow Creek was uneasy all night, although the biggest problem at the moment, the problem of reading, had been solved, but she always felt that something was missing. There is still a week before the official start of school, and Pillow Xi thought about it again and again, planning to go back to see her grandmother while she still had time.

Knowing that she was going back, Zhuquan came to tell her: "You tell your grandmother that you need a lot of money to study, see if she can make up a little money." ”

Pillow Creek was shocked and asked, "How much is a large sum?"

"Let's take 10,000 yuan first. ”

Zhuxi covered his head and said, "Dad, now that the tuition is free, I heard that there are rewards for me to be admitted to the first school, and I don't have to pay for the books, where will I spend the 10,000 yuan you asked my grandmother for?"

The corners of Zhuquan's mouth twitched downward, and he said, "What do you want me to ask your grandmother for, that's the money for your study, and it should be shared equally among everyone." Although you don't pay for tuition, what about your usual living expenses? These are not money?"

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry so much, just tell your grandmother what I said, she can understand." ”

Pillow Xi looked at him for a long time and asked, "Is this what you mean or what Lin Hui means?"

The pillow suddenly pulled out the chair and stood up, looked at her condescendingly, and said, "What Lin Hui is not Lin Hui, that's your mother, why is there no education at all." ”

Pillow Xi smiled wordlessly at the corner of his mouth, and packed his luggage and got on the bus back to the village in the shortest time.

The tiredness of a few hours of bumps was swept away when I saw a familiar house and a familiar person.

Grandma didn't know that she was coming back, and when she saw her happy, she didn't know what to do.

Pillow Creek only said that he took the first place in the exam this time, and he has always taken care of his situation in that family.

When my grandmother saw it, she understood everything.

"You just have to study hard, don't worry about other things, I heard that some schools in the city can live in accommodation, if your school can live in it, you can go to live there, so you don't have to stay at home all day to watch their eyes." ”

Pillow Xi thought about it, No. 7 Middle School does have living conditions, but it seems that it is only available to students above the second year of junior high school. It would be nice if she could go to live in school, as long as she could stay away from that home, even if it was only for one day, she could live one year longer.

After five days in the countryside, it's time to go back.

Before leaving, she asked her grandmother:

"Did my dad borrow 20,000 yuan from our family before?"

She remembered that.

"How do you know? That was many years ago, when your mother and your grandfather were still alive, and he said that he borrowed money to do business, and then he lost it, and we all said forget it, it was your mother who paid it back little by little. ”

"Is the IOU still there?"

"In. ”

"Give me the IOU. ”

"What do you want to do with that?" said Grandma, still looking for the IOU.

At a glance, Pillow Creek saw that it was indeed Pillow Quan's handwriting, writing the amount of money borrowed and the deadline for returning it within five years, stamped with his handprint, and a copy of his ID card. ”

It is simply a sample of an IOU, and there is no error in legal efficiency.

Didn't Zhenquan and Lin Hui ask her for 10,000 yuan?

Pillow Xi made a few copies of this IOU on the way, hid the original to Aunt Xu's house, and then returned home.

The whole family was there, and without waiting for her to put down her luggage, she asked, "Did you tell your grandmother?"

"Yes. As he spoke, he bent down to look for something in his duffel bag.

Lin Hui gave the pillow a look frequently, and the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Under everyone's gaze, Pillow Creek took out a piece of white paper and put it in front of the pillow and said:

"My grandmother said she has no money now, but if you pay it back, you can take out 10,000 yuan to study for me, and then you can build a house with 10,000 yuan left. Dad, look, when will you pay back this money?"

Lin Hui snatched the IOU and asked, "What's going on?"

"Hasn't this money been paid back a long time ago?" said Pillow Quan frowned.

Pillow Xi looked puzzled and said: "Why is the IOU still there when the money is returned?"

Pillow couldn't explain it clearly, it didn't exist in his memory for a long time.

"That's not the case, the money has been paid back a long time ago, and your mother-"

"Why did you talk about my mother again?" Pillow Xi interrupted him: "I think the return period on this IOU is five years, and my mother has been dead for almost 10 years." ”

The pillow tore the IOU to shreds, and said angrily: "This IOU has long been counted." ”

"Why doesn't it count?" Pillow Xi said helplessly: "You can tear this copy up, my grandmother said, you should pay back this money earlier, otherwise it will not look good in the court." ”

"Whoa!" Pillow Quan slapped the water glass to the ground and shouted, "Can she still sue me?" ”

"Dad, now is a legal society, don't you have a good relationship with the secretary of the legal department of your factory? Pillow Xi took out another copy and gave it to him, thinking that he still had to go to live in school, and if he stayed with this family, he would be disgusted to death.

When he arrived, he didn't know if he took the IOU to ask Pillow Creek, anyway, since then, he has never mentioned asking Pillow Creek to ask her grandmother for money.

It's about to start school, and there's another annoying thing that needs to be solved by Pillow Creek himself-

Transportation problems to school.
