Before returning home, Xie Lang specially instructed Hou Chao not to tell him that he did not go to work, so as not to worry his parents.

Hou Chao looked puzzled, "I don't understand this, it's not like we don't make money, why don't you tell them?" ”

Xie Lang said: "This is different, their ideology is different from ours, although we are making some money, but in their eyes, it is right to always go to work to earn money, virtual games, are opportunistic, and then I will be charged with a plaything, I don't know how to explain it to them." ”

Hou Chao smiled: "No wonder I asked you to quit your job and work hard with me in the virtual game at that time, you don't want to live or die, okay!" Go back quickly, don't worry your aunt and uncle. With that, he walked out of the village.

Xie Lang hurriedly called out to him, "Where are you going again?" They're all back, aren't you going back to see your dad? ”

Hou Chao said angrily, "I'm too anxious to come back, empty-handed, my old man likes to drink, I'll go buy him a bottle of something better, lest he always drink those fake wine of two or three yuan." ”

Xie Lang suddenly realized, "Okay, let's go!" Tell my uncle that I will visit him when I have time and ask him to pay more attention to his body and drink less alcohol. ”

After half a year of absence, there is still no change in the family, except that the vines in the yard have all gone outside the fence, and there are bunches of green grapes.

Xie Lang picked one and put it in his mouth, because it was not ripe, his teeth were sour, but this kind of questioning was full of childhood memories, when he was a child, because he had no snacks, he never waited for the grapes to ripen.

With a "creak", he pushed open the iron gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Mom! I am back! ”

The mother, who was busy in the kitchen, immediately walked out, her face full of joy: "I'm tired from the car, come into the house and drink saliva and rest for a while, the meal will be ready soon!" As he spoke, he took the salute from his hand, and suddenly his eyes didn't blink, and he looked at Xie Lang carefully and looked at it carefully, "Why did you lose weight again, it's hard work!" ”

"It's okay!" Xie Lang said casually, "What about Dad and Xie Xue?" ”

"It's all going to the field, I'll call them back!"

"No, I'll call them! By the way, see what you can help with. ”

Mother Xie looked distressed, "You're so tired, you can rest for a while." ”

"It's okay! I'm not tired either! ”

Just as Xie Lang was about to go out, a person walked in outside the door, it was Xie Lang's sister, Xie Xue.

The children in the village all need to help with farm work, and Xie Xue is naturally no exception, her skin is a little tanned, and she wears a very old gray clothes, just like a peasant woman, not at all like those girls of the same age in the city, white and clean, youthful and delicate.

Seeing her brother who she hadn't seen for half a year, Xie Xue was not as happy as she imagined, but pouted and shouted a little perfunctorily, "Brother!" So he went back to his house and shut himself up in it.

Xie Lang was inexplicable for a while, who made this little girl unhappy again.

At this time, Father Xie also returned, his dark face was covered with wind and frost, and his hair seemed to be whiter than before.

At dinner, Xie Xue was still like that, always thinking about something, and she ignored her when she asked, completely losing her playful and lively appearance before.

She dealt with the two casually, and then returned to the house, if Xie Lang came back before, she couldn't wait to circle around her brother all day long.

After dinner, Xie Lang couldn't help it and asked, "Xie Xue, what's wrong with her?" It always seems to be puffing up. ”

Father Xie was smoking a hookah at the door, and he didn't speak, his eyes were full of haggard and helplessness.

Xie Mu sighed and said, "Isn't this for Xie Xue's schooling?" ”

Xie Lang was even more puzzled, "Isn't Xie Xue's high school entrance examination results quite good?" I also received the admission letter, why did I have other situations? ”

"It's not, it's just ...... Alas! Anyway, it's hard to put into words! ”

Seeing his sister's sullen appearance, his brother was naturally full of distress, "Mom, just say what you have!" ”

Mother Xie sighed again and said, "You don't know that your father and I can't do heavy work because of physical reasons, so we can only rely on odd jobs and planting some vegetables in the field to help make ends meet, and the high school that admitted your sister has tens of thousands of tuition fees every year, and it doesn't count anything else, so your father wants your sister to study in a technical school, so that she can graduate and work early." ”

Xie Lang finally figured out what was going on, and it turned out that the problem was with the word "money".

Because he had no money, Xie Lang came out to work after graduating from junior high school, and he had no education, which made it extremely difficult for him to live in that out-of-place city.

At this time, Xie Xue's door opened, "Okay, you don't have to say anything, I won't read any books, I'll go out to work tomorrow, so it's okay!" ”

Adolescent girls, some stubborn, some rebellious, but more forced by the helplessness of life!

At that time, when Xie Lang decided to go out to work without studying, he was more or less helpless, so he didn't want his sister to repeat his mistakes.

"You don't have to go out to work, and your parents don't have to worry about money, I will be responsible for Xie Xue's study!"

As soon as Xie Lang said this, everyone in the room looked at him in disbelief. Number Seven

Mother Xie said: "You have a salary of more than 5,000 yuan, you have to take care of food and housing, and send money home every month, where is there so much money?" ”

Xie Lang said: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way." ”

At this time, Father Xie put down the hookah and said sharply: "Is there any way?" If I let me know you're doing something shady, I'll break your legs. ”

When Mother Xie heard this, she couldn't help but worry for a while, "Your father is right, you must not do illegal things." ”

Xie Lang also knew that it was difficult to explain to them for a while, so he could only make up a panic casually, "I have a salary increase, as long as I usually save a little money, it should be no problem for Xie Xue to study, Xie Xue has such good grades, it's a pity not to continue studying." ”

Xie Xue finally relented, in fact, she always knew that the environment at home was difficult, but she just didn't want to give in, and now she didn't want her brother to make life harder for herself. However, a thousand words, but I don't know how to say, "Brother! I ......"

Xie Lang said: "Don't say anything, I came back this time on purpose, just to take Xie Xue out, Xie Xue, you clean up." ”

After two days at home, it's finally time to go back to the city.

Hou Chao was still like that, Xie Lang asked him how his relationship with his father was, he smiled bitterly, and said, "For the sake of the two bottles of wine I brought back, it has finally eased up a bit." ”

Hou Chao was still worried about the business in the game, and when he returned to the city, Xie Lang called him out to eat, but he didn't go, he just wanted to prove himself too much.

Because she rarely goes out of the city, Xie Xue felt so novel about everything in the city, especially when they walked to the gate of the Yulong Community, Xie Xue was even more surprised, "This community is so beautiful, like a garden." ”

Xie Lang originally wanted to go in directly, but suddenly wanted to tease Xie Xue, "Do you want to live here, can my brother take you in?" ”

"Brother, don't be funny!"

"I mean really."

Xie Xue snorted and said with a smile: "Brother, when did you learn to brag?" ”

Xie Lang said seriously, "Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll find out later." After speaking, he took out the access control card, and with a "drop" sound, the side door really opened, "Let's go, why are you still stunned?" ”

Xie Xue was still skeptical, "I know, you must be working here." ”

Until Xie Lang led her into the house, she still didn't believe it. Xie Lang pushed open the door of the room left for Xie Xue and said, "This will be your room from now on." ”

Xie Xue walked into the house, the interior was simply and warmly furnished, and the white style looked bright and comfortable, "Brother! Is this really my room? ”

Xie Lang said angrily: "When did my brother lie to you?" ”

Xie Xue suddenly looked worried, "Brother, you won't really do something illegal, right?" ”

Xie Lang really didn't know how to complain, "Don't worry, your brother and I are a law-abiding person, and I won't touch anything illegal." ”

"Then where did you get so much money to buy this house?"

"Of course it's not bought, it's rented!"

"It's not cheap to rent!" Looking at Xie Xue's posture, she is going to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Xie Lang couldn't resist her and asked, so he had to repeat the previous rhetoric to his father, "Didn't I say that I would raise my salary?" You can live in peace of mind, and I will take you to the school tomorrow to register! Then take you out for a walk around and get acquainted with the neighborhood! ”

After settling Xie Xue, Xie Lang can finally go online.

It's been three days since I was online, and I don't know what's new in the game world.

Returning to that familiar virtual world, Xie Lang found that the friend application had almost exploded. It became the focus all of a sudden, and I was really not used to it.

According to what Hou Chao said, no strange friends will be added, but they will not block friend applications, so that they want to add but can't, so that they can maintain a sense of mystery and not be disturbed by them.

Xie Lang smiled: "It's a bit too much to do this!" ”

Hou Chao said: "Your current identity is not the same as before, think about it, looking at the entire "Engre", who can forge two excellent weapons, how many big guilds want to win you over now, if you deal with them one by one, after you make a plan, you will only have to worry when you enter the game, where is there still a little fun in the game." ”

Xie Lang thought about it carefully, Hou Chao did have a point, he knew much more about human feelings than himself.

Xiaobawang suddenly sent a voice communication, "You are finally online, we have been miserable in the past few days!" ”

"What? Is it the demon hunting team that is coming to trouble you again? ”

"That's not it, it's a large group of people who add a few of our friends, and after the application is approved, we know that they are all coming to you."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Lang already knew what was going on, and these people were really persevering.
