Chapter 5: The Poor Home
Xiao Hei's speed was very fast, and he cut through the sky like a gallop, and in a few leaps, he led Jiang Feng to a sky bridge in Nancheng, and its body quickly became smaller.
This place is relatively empty, except for the passing cars on the road, there is only a river and a pile of abandoned construction sites, and there is no place to stay or anything like that.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng had a bad premonition in his heart, and although he guessed a possibility in his heart, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Hei and asked, "Mom and little sister are around here?"
Xiao Hei grinned and ran towards the bottom of the overpass.
Jiang Feng followed, they stepped on a dirt path, and turned another corner, before Xiao Hei stopped, stretched out his paws and pointed at an oval stone pillar platform under the bridge.
On the stone platform, a beautiful woman in linen clothes and a beautiful girl were sleeping together.
However, although their faces belonged to the embryos of beauties, their faces were very haggard, their skin was dark yellow, and in their arms were a bottle of mineral water and a few large shriveled steamed buns, and a large plastic basin and several wooden barrels were placed beside them, filled with sea fish, most of whom had died.
Due to the hot weather, they could smell the fishy smell from afar, exuding the smell of decay, and there were all kinds of flies and insects flying around, but they were reluctant to throw them away.
From time to time, mosquitoes and other insects crawl on the girl's little face and bite large bags and small packets.
The woman's hands were swollen from mosquito bites, and she took the girl in her arms and tried to shield her from everything.
"Mom, little sister!" Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng's eyes were moist, his mouth was blocked, and his throat was hoarse, he wanted to scream but couldn't call it, he didn't expect his mother and little sister to sleep in such a place in order to save money.
The words that the former girl made him envious still echo in his mind.
"Brother, brother, do you know? The Ocean Park in the center of the city is fun, with Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and whirlwind riders. β
"Today, my mom took me on the Ferris wheel and roller coaster, and also took me to eat KFC and McDonald's. β
"Next time, my mother and I will go to the city to sell fish, you are not allowed to rob me, you have to stay at home and take good care of your father, and when the fish is sold, I will bring you something delicious..."
"Brother, do you know? The hotel in the city is very comfortable, there is a big air conditioner, it will not be hot at night to sleep, there is a big soft bed, there is a dresser, there is a bathroom, ......"
β......β
The scenes of the past flashed in Jiang Feng's mind like a rewind in the movie, and the girl's crisp voice still echoed in his ears.
The pastries that Xiaomei brought to him several times were thrown on the ground by him and trampled on them.
He had argued with the girl several times over this matter, and now think about how naΓ―ve he is!
"This is your big house, big air conditioning? This is, the money has been spent by you to eat delicious food, play fun, so your mother has little money left to sell fish?" Jiang Feng smiled, his smile was very bitter, the tip of his nose was sour, and his heart was pinched.
He remembered that three years ago, in order to rush to the city to sell fish, he pressed his little sister to the ground and beat him fatly.
He remembered that he was fishing on the beach, and his little sister brought him roast duck, but he threw him into the sea, and yelled at her to get away.
At that time, the girl's heart was probably dripping blood, but she still forced a smile.
"Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, you boasted of being a good person in vain, but you were carried away by jealousy! For three whole years, if you had taken a little heart, you would not have wronged Xiaoqing so many times! Jiang Feng squeezed his fists, eager to slap himself.
I am also a little glad that in the past year, under the guidance of my father, the relationship between him and his sister has become much better.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a stone rolled down and fell into the river channel under the overpass, splashing a splash, the woman woke up, obviously she slept very lightly, maybe not even asleep, Jiang Feng saw this, and immediately pulled Xiao Hei to hide.
The girl also woke up slowly, looked at the woman with a pair of bright eyes, and wondered: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, a stone fell into the water, don't be afraid, sleep in your mother's arms, this morning, sell some of the remaining live fish, why don't you go home." Wu Xuehua patted the girl's head and said with a loving smile.
The girl's eyes showed a hint of melancholy, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mom, that chengguan is too hateful, as soon as he sees us, he will drive us away! β
"I decided, from this year onwards, I won't study, go home to help you work, and let my brother study hard. β
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about! Your grades are so good, and you have finally been admitted to a key high school in the city this year, so you can't study. Wu Xuehua glared at the girl, she wanted to scold, but she couldn't scold, her heart twitched, she knew that her daughter wanted to relieve pressure for her.
But the more sensible her daughter is, the more uncomfortable she becomes, in her heart, only by studying hard can she get ahead, have a good future, and not be discriminated against.
She can't selfishly ruin her daughter's life.
The girl's eyes were red, she lowered her head, the corners of her clothes were twisted into a twist by her, and she whispered: "But recently, our business is getting worse and worse, the family's debts have not been paid off, my brother will be in the third year of high school soon, and he will be admitted to college, this year is very important to him, I don't want him to be distracted, I believe that my brother will be able to get into a good university." β
"Are you admitted to a good university?" Seeing her daughter so sensible, Wu Xuehua's heart hurt indescribably, and there was a trace of loss and hope in the depths of her eyes.
If the girl said this two years ago, she would not have doubted that Jiang Feng was the first in the second grade and held countless parent-teacher conferences, and she was the pride of the parents.
But in the past two years, Jiang Feng has always skipped class, secretly went out to fish, and made money to subsidize the family, no matter how much she persuaded her, she didn't listen, and her grades plummeted.
Can her son really be admitted to a good university? Wu Xuehua doesn't know, but she will definitely let Jiang Feng study hard, even if she sells blood!
Wu Xuehua felt that it was she who burdened her son and failed to give him a good growth environment, which made Jiang Feng skip class every day to fish and make money to support his family.
Now she can't hurt her daughter anymore, she stretched out her hand and grabbed her hair vigorously, and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, you and your brother's tuition, Mom... I'm trying to figure it out. β
"From this year onwards, you are not allowed to go into the sea to fish, you are only allowed to study hard, if you are not obedient, don't blame your mother for being angry!"
Don't look at what Wu Xuehua said, but her eyes are a dead ash, in recent years, the family has been walking on thin ice, everything that can be borrowed has been borrowed, and the remaining relatives and neighbors look down on their family at all, and they will not lend money to their family at all.
At this time, apart from selling some seafood, she really didn't know where to find money?
......
In the grass, Jiang Feng listened to the conversation between his mother and his little sister, his fists clenched, he looked at the sky, and whispered: "Mom, little sister, I won't let you suffer anymore in the future!
As a son of man and a brother, Jiang Feng believes that he has the responsibility to take on the responsibility of the family and hold up a piece of sky for the family.
A faint dragon power spread, and all the cockroaches and mosquitoes around it... Wait, die instantly, this night, Jiang Feng and Xiao Hei waited here, and they didn't leave until dawn.
"Mom, it seems that there are no mosquitoes, you can sleep well, hehe..."
The girl's melodious laughter sounded softly in the air.
