Shao Ai's father cowered and apologized to his daughter, his face flushed like a child who had made a mistake. He was only scolded by his daughter, and he was ready to be scolded by his daughter, because he had a request for their mother and daughter, and he was desperate until now.

"What's the use of you apologizing now, I don't need your comfort, I don't need your sympathy, my mother and I are all caused by you today, you get out of here."

Her father was touched by the word "roll" and was stunned. He worked hard to find their mother and daughter, holding the faint candlelight in the snow, and came here with the last ray of hope, that is, begging for cold food like a dog, he was also willing, but now his daughter wants me to go, alas!

Shao Ai saw her father sitting still, so she brought a big broom from the stove and came to sweep the floor. Her father burst into tears, looked down and thought about it, but got up and left, and it was very difficult to walk step by step. Shao Ai was still sweeping the floor hard, sweeping the place where her father had sat and stepped on it, and muttered:

"I'll wipe the floor with disinfectant again."

A few days later, Shao Ai went out for an interview, and the school was very satisfied with her, gave her a positive reply, and asked her to come to work in a month.

"I got in."

Shao Ai happily went home, but saw her mother sitting in the hall, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time, her face was solemn and sad. Shao Ai walked over cautiously like a kitten, sat on the sofa next to her mother, hugged her mother's arm and said:

"Mom, I got a job, an elementary school, they told me to go to work in a month, I can support you."

Her mother slowly turned her head and looked at her daughter blankly, her expression was as terrifying as a ghost, and she spit out three words:

"How much?"

When Shao Ai heard this, she was stunned, her mother asked her what she meant, and she didn't want to be happy for her, so she came to ask her how much her salary was. Shao Ai's eyelids lowered and said:

"30 pieces a month."

"Too little."

Shao Ai was angry, stood up with a "poof", glared at her mother, and said:

"Mom, how can you say that, I don't earn much, I haven't just worked, so how much do you want!"

"Shao Ai, mom didn't say you earned less."

"What's that?"

"This money is not enough for your father's medical expenses!"

Shao Ai understood, it turned out that her father was here again, which was shameless. He's here to ask his mother for money? What does he need so much money for!

This time, Shao Ai learned from her mother that her father was seriously ill, and he used up his family wealth, and halfway through the treatment, his wife and children ran away, and he came to their mother and daughter with this half of his life, wanting to see them for the last time before he died.

"Shao Ai, you know that Mom has always wanted to ask him a word, do you know what he said? - He said he loved me the most. ”

Shao Ai looked at her mother with disdain, and when she heard this, she really wanted to be disgusted. This silly woman who lives in love was eaten out of her brain by a man, and she was stupidly let him abandon it.

"Mom, don't believe him, it's all pretended."

Shao Ai's mother grabbed her daughter's arm and said emotionally:

"It's not that Mom is confused, Mom saw the scar on your dad's waist with her own eyes, he had major surgery, and he was only halfway healed, but he still thought of us, child, you forgive your dad, save your dad."

Shao Ai is helpless, her mother is a soft-hearted woman, one or two good words are coaxed into confusion, and people want to drink her blood, and she is willing. Shao Ai furrowed his brows in thought. Her mother suddenly knelt down with a "plop".

"You have to save your father, I finally saw him again, and I don't want him to die."

"Mom, what are you doing, get up, why do you kneel for me, I'm your daughter."

Shao Ai pulled her mother hard, but her mother just refused to get up, so Shao Ai had to kneel down too, grabbed her mother's arm and shouted "Mom!" ”

"Shao Ai, you are my daughter, you are also his daughter, save your father this time, Mom is grateful to you."

Shao Ai lowered his head and thought about it, so he had to nod.

"Good daughter."

Her mother happily went to stew Dongpo meat for her daughter. Shao Ai looked at her mother, shook her head, and thought of her future career again, and sighed helplessly.

What should I do, Shao Ai thought of asking Qinxin to borrow money several times, but how could he open his mouth for such a large sum? How can she have so much money as a girl. Besides, I don't want to owe her affection, and she is an equal classmate and friend, my grades are better than her, ask her to borrow money, isn't it just inferior to her, I don't do it.

But who else can borrow money? Teacher? The teacher's family is not rich, and if I owe them money, when will I pay it back? Who doesn't have a hat to make? How did I get this mouthful?

Shao Ai's mother meant to ask Shao Ai's grandmother to borrow money, but she was very scared to go by herself, and her daughter came forward to say something. Ask grandma to borrow? Which of those uncles and aunts is easy to mess with? Ask them to borrow money, but the money has not been borrowed, and they will give you a stomach. When our mother and daughter were in the most difficult time, we didn't see them giving charity, forget it, how the days are, it has nothing to do with them.

For the sake of money, Shao Ai became a lot haggard, as if she had changed from a young and lively girl to an old middle-aged woman with family responsibilities overnight. This girl who is less than twenty years old, her graduation gift is her father's medical expenses, and this father is still killed halfway.

One night, as she sat in front of the window, it occurred to her that there was someone who could go and beg him, who had nothing to do with her, no grudges, and who still had money, and that it would not hurt as if she had been skinned.

So, Shao Ai dressed up a little and walked into Tie Ming's office.

Tie Ming saw her coming to him, and immediately understood that she had something to ask for. What is it, Shao Ai is reluctant to say it openly, but he still said a lot of polite words first. Tie Ming asked the secretary to pour her a cup of tea, closed the door, and sat comfortably on the big chair behind the desk, chatting with Shao Ai.

After a few sips of tea, Shao Ai also became familiar with this office, let down his guard and restraint, sighed, and talked about his parents. Tie Ming listened to her heavy tone, and stopped when he said a word, and stopped talking, realizing that this was what bothered her.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, she was happily sending off her graduation, but at this time, she was depressed and distressed with maturity. It's okay Shao Ai, if there is anything, you can say it, I can help you as much as I can.

Tie Ming told her with his eyes, his teeth and fingers, listening to her tell a long story.

"Shao Ai, I understand your situation, what you do depends on how you look at your father."

Shao Ai raised his head and sighed, then lowered his head and said:

"No matter what he did wrong before, he was my father in a thousand mistakes, and as a child, he is qualified to evaluate his parents."

Tie Ming's eyes lowered and raised, looked at Shao Ai intently and said:

"You've decided to forgive your dad?"

Shao Ai blinked twice, thought for a while, thought of the way her mother begged her, nodded, suddenly a tear popped out of her eyelids, quickly turned away, and continued:

"I can forgive him, but God, my dad ended up like this, I have nothing to say, people are doing it, the sky is watching, this is punishment and retribution."

Shao Ai sees the grievances clearly, and his attitude towards his father is reasonable, and he does not cover up or blame, which alone makes people awe-inspired. Tie Ming stood up, stepped out of his desk and said:

"I am very sympathetic to what happened to Father Ling."

Tie Ming's eyes were full of warmth. The girl didn't know what she had been through, her words, her thoughts, were beyond her age. Her experience was not something that a girl her age could bear. Shao Ai suddenly smiled bitterly, looked at Tie Ming and said:

"Mr. Song, you said that this is Shanghai, and Shanghai doesn't talk about sympathy and pity, only the strong and the weak."

Tie Ming looked down and thought about dancing with her that day, and he did say this. It turned out that she understood it this way, only to hear Shao Ai say again:

"He is old and weak now, and I just hope that my dad can spend the rest of his life quietly with my mom. He's in a bad situation right now, Mr. Song, I need a sum of money to save my life. ”

After making so many detours, Shao Aike said the purpose of his visit. Tie Ming had already prepared, when Shao Ai talked about her father, Tie Ming expected that she was here to borrow money from herself, in fact, she said it at the beginning, and she would not refuse, but this girl was thin-skinned and high-spirited, and she was unwilling to reach out and ask for money directly.

Tie Ming walked to his desk, opened the drawer, found an empty checkbook, and wrote down the name and date "brush" and asked her to fill in the number herself. Shao Ai didn't answer, lowered his head and bit his lip, his toes were drawn around the bottom, and he said hesitantly:

"Mr. Song, how much can you lend me, I need a lot of money, and I can't guarantee that I will pay you back immediately, you ...... Is it convenient for you? ”

Tie Ming smiled, tore off the check, patted it in front of her, and said:

"You don't need to pay it back, I'll help you with this money, you are so filial, people have no reason to refuse you."

Tie Ming admired Shao Ai, admired her neither humble nor arrogant personality, was pleased with her filial piety to save her father regardless of her previous suspicions, and also lamented the sadness of having no father to support. What is this money, money is nothing, family affection is important.

Shao Ai insisted on not accepting it, put the check back on the table, held it down, and said firmly:

"I can pay it back, I can pay it back."

Tie Ming smiled again, spread his hands out and received his chin again, looked at her and said:

"Are you sure? We are printing money. ”

Shao Ai lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Song...... You won't lend it to me? ”

Shao Ai deliberately dragged out the word "you" and said. Tie Ming looked at Shao Ai, like a senior who was enthusiastic about explaining difficult problems, and pushed the ballpoint pen to her and said:

"I don't need you to pay back my money, it is my little heart for Ling Bo, please accept it!"

Tie Ming said sincerely, Shao Ai's worries were all empty. Not only did he not have the domineering attitude of the general manager of a large company, but he also tried his best to find steps for himself to go down, comfort himself, and help himself without asking for anything in return, and he had said such sarcastic and prickly things to him before, so he was generous and did not care about himself.

I really have no face, Shao Ai thought about it carefully, put the ballpoint pen on the check, and pushed it to Tie Ming together. Tie Ming looked at her strangely, didn't she want her own money?
