"It's good that people come back safely, what are you doing with Xiaohua?" Xiaoxue hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Xiaohua's coat and said gently.

Applejack doesn't speak, carefully drops a bag of books on the floor, makes a "goodbye" gesture to me, turns around and disappears. A dull sound of the door shutting sounded, and Xiaohua looked at me angrily, seeing that I had not spoken, and asked, "What about you, are you dumb?" What's going on between you and Jin Shao? ”

"Nothing." I muttered.

"Nothing, he's going to ask Applejack to take you home? Nothing, he's going to take you away in the middle of the night? Where were you all taken last night? The phone was also turned off, and we were all worried all night, thinking something had happened to you! Daddy got it, too! Now I'm mad at you at home! Xiaohua stood in place with his hands clenched into fists, and taught me a fierce lesson.

I was shocked, raised my head and looked at her in disbelief: "You told Dad?" Why are you telling Dad? I've never been ...... about you."

Before I could finish speaking, Xiaohua took the initiative again: "You don't go home all night, you don't answer the phone, and you're still with someone like Jin Shao, can the family not worry?" Dad also said that you should come here to take care of me, you are good, let alone take care of me, it is good that you don't cause me trouble! Did you sleep with Jin Shao last night? You tell the truth! How can you do that, little book? How old are you? Are you so indecent? ”

I was so angry with her, but I couldn't refute it. She has been articulate since she was a child, and I have never been her opponent in the matter of quarrels, so every time we sisters have a dispute since I was a child, she can always find out all my faults at the first time and leave herself clean, so that I have always been an indisputable child in my father's eyes.

"Xiaohua, you're a bit too much. What's the matter, your sister is working so hard to earn money for you to study. "Although I have never told Xiao Xueming, Xiao Xue knows a little bit about the bitterness in my heart, and I really can't see it, so I said a few words.

"Xiaoxue, this matter is our family's family matter, don't interfere. You don't know, my sister is too simple, and she doesn't understand the sinister society at all. This must be explained to me today, or my dad will die of sadness. The painting said again.

My heart went from my head to the soles of my feet in that moment.

"I don't have anything to say, I'll take a shower, it's almost time to go to work." I don't want to argue about anything, and I don't want to see the little painting look like this.

"Stop!" She stopped me and said, "Look at you, every time I say you're like this." You can't solve the problem by running away. If you don't tell me where you went last night, don't want to get out of this door today. ”

"Is it good for you that I lost my job? Would you like to pay 200 less for food next month? I looked at her and asked coldly.

Every time I get really angry, my tone is very cold. And once I do this, she will be frightened and restrain a little.

Her eyes flickered a few times, but she still stopped straight in front of me, and she said, "Pan Rushu, I'm doing it for your own good, it's not good for you to get entangled with someone like Jin Shao." You don't look at what you are, do you think he will treat you sincerely? ”

Seeing that my face was expressionless, she immediately changed her tone, she said: "Dad is very angry now, telling me that the weather has been cold these days, and Mom has been hospitalized again." If you and I don't fight again, Dad will be angry with us sooner or later. Since you were a child, you yourself know that you are the one who worries your dad the most. You go and explain it to your father yourself, I don't care about you anymore, I can't control you anyway. ”

My heart throbbed violently, and I looked up at her and asked, "Mom is hospitalized again?" Yesterday I called back and my mother said everything was fine, how could it be? ”

"It's not that my parents are afraid that we will worry, so they don't tell us. Today, Dad was very angry, so he said it. Hurry up and give your home a call! Xiao Hua said angrily.

"Little painting, can I discuss something with you?" I say.

"What?" She asked angrily.

"Don't do anything in the future, can you go to Dad to sue first? If you ask for anything, I will promise you. I just make such a request, and I ask you to grant me. I said.

Her eyes blinked a few times, and then she said, "Okay, you bought me the set of skin care products I liked last time, and I'll help you say good things in front of Dad." ”

"When is it now, and you still have to buy skincare products? Don't you know how hard it is in our house right now? "I was speechless, but I couldn't do anything about this sister.

"Then you can't help it if you don't agree! It's not that I have to go to my dad and say anything about you, it's that you're really worried about being so ignorant. People who know think you're taking care of me in H City, but they don't know that I'm actually taking care of you......" she chattered.

I didn't want to hear her continue, so I said, "Okay, you give me half a month, and I'll find a way to raise money." ”

She immediately closed her mouth and said with a smile on her face: "Okay then, but the things that should be investigated still have to be investigated." You go take a shower first, and when you're done, tell us what's going on. ”

I didn't want to say anything more to her, so I went into the bathroom and closed the door, rinsing my body with cold water, and I had an indescribable confusion about life.

Since I was a child, my father's indiscriminate and harsh attitude towards me has become the biggest shadow in my heart, and I have been living carefully, for fear of making mistakes, for fear of being harshly criticized by my father, for fear that the long bamboo whip will be drawn mercilessly on my body, for fear that my father's mouth will pop out of the sentence "It's okay if you have half of your sister......

But I still have to face it.

After taking a shower, I washed the clothes that I and Xiaohua had changed in the bathroom, and the sound of Xiaohua laughing while watching the series came from the living room, Xiaoxue walked in and put on makeup, deliberately closed the door, and whispered to me: "Xiaoshu, why do you let your sister bully you?" ”

I laughed, and I said, "Hey, it's nothing, I'm used to it, she's just this character." ”

"You, you're just too honest, you can rest assured about everything, in fact, don't be so good, even between sisters, you can't blindly let it go." Xiaoxue admonished.

"I see, thank you, Xiaoxue." I looked up and smiled at her.

She laughed too, and she said, "Think more about yourself, really." People still have to think about themselves. ”

"Well, these are extraordinary times, and I promised my father that I would provide my sister with education, and I have to do it." I said with a smile.

When Xiaoxue heard me say this, she immediately stopped saying anything, patted me on the shoulder, and then said, "Don't get used to your sister, listen to my sister's advice." ”

Xiaoxue is a happy woman, she has always spoken without a cover, jokes and jokes come as soon as she opens her mouth, and it is the first time to speak to me so sincerely, which makes me feel warm.

I knew that Xiaohua would never give up without asking the truth, so after washing the clothes, I told her that I went out to buy some daily necessities, and then I didn't go home and went to work at the clubhouse. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I found a secluded place and called my father back.

"Dad......" After the phone was connected, I shouted timidly.

"You still know to call me back? Just went out to work and was out in the wild, and your sister said you ran away with someone last night, what's the matter? As soon as I spoke, my father's rants and displeasure came over the phone.

My eyes filled with tears for a moment, my hands shook as I held the phone, and I couldn't say a word.

"Your sister has just started college, and she always calls to complain that her classmates have everything, and she is the most pitiful and shabby. You also know what the situation is like at home, and Dad is counting on you to earn more money, so that your sister can live a better life and help the family a little. You have to be sensible in books, you are a sister, do you know that your mother has been hospitalized recently? Your dad has worked hard to treat your mother's illness, and if you drag the family back any longer, you won't be able to live this life. Look at your sister, she hasn't let me worry about it since she was a child......" My father patiently admonished me on the other end of the phone, as if I was such a disobedient and sensible daughter.

He has always been like this, my sister said one sentence worthy of my ten words, since I was a child, I was used to carrying the black pot, and I was also used to me like this in my father's eyes.

"I see, Daddy." I choked up and responded, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, quietly sprinkling countless grievances in this cold moonlight.
