Chapter 165: I Don't Want to See You Cry
Xu Lan slammed the jade pendant into Liang Wei's arms, turned around and ran away.
Liang Wei reached out to grab her.
But he suddenly felt a heat on the back of his hand.
Liang Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was Xu Lan's tears.
After such a delay, Xu Lan had already run away.
Liang Wei stood in place, looking at her back in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, but his hand clenched the jade pendant tightly.
Although Xu Lan was sad in her heart, she was reluctant to go home, so as not to worry her parents.
She was also afraid of being seen gossiping by the people in the village, so she ran directly outside the village. She sat down on a deserted hillside and burst into tears.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Xu Lan's cry was very small.
But it reached the ears of Liang Wei, who had been following her far away.
Liang Wei looked at Xu Lan's small body shrunk into a ball, crying sadly, and there was a complicated look in his eyes.
There is unbearability, sadness and anger, and deep self-blame.
In the end, Xu Lan cried enough, and sat on the hillside with her knees in her arms.
She stared at the river not far away.
Now that the weather is cold, the river is starting to exude a wave of cold, and even the small fish that usually swim happily in the water have not come out of hiding in the cracks of the stones.
Xu Lan suddenly remembered that she had fallen into the river.
Thanks to Liang Wei who rescued himself, the two of them were still strangers at that time.
At that time, Xu Lan definitely didn't expect that in the near future, she would be so concerned about this "stranger".
"Brother Liang, why am I so uncomfortable......
Xu Lan rubbed her red nose and let out a long sigh.
The sky gradually darkened, Xu Lan stood up, squatted by the river and washed her face with cold water, so that she was more refreshed. She walked around the outside again and waited until the marks on her face were completely gone before entering the house.
Liang Wei followed her all the time without Xu Lan noticing.
Seeing her return home safely, Liang Wei stood far away, looking at the brightly lit courtyard of the Xu family.
Zhang saw that Xu Lan came back a little embarrassed, and she seemed to notice something. But the daughter's family is delicate and sensitive, and Zhang didn't ask much.
However, Xu Dahai and Xu Dawa didn't find anything wrong.
When it was time to eat, Xu Dawa suddenly said, "Daddy, can you go to see grandma tomorrow?" ”
"Why?" Xu Dahai felt a little chilled by Chen's behavior and didn't want to see her for the time being.
"As soon as I went, she always pulled me, and said a long time complaining, turning over and over again like a wheel, and I would memorize it......" Xu Dawa sighed, feeling that the dishes in the bowl were not fragrant, "If I don't go, she will block me nearby, cry when she sees me, and scold me for not being filial and forgetting her ......"
When it came to this, Xu Dawa felt very distressed.
The Chen family is not good to Zhang and Xu Lan, but he has not treated Xu Dawa badly since he was a child.
It made him feel like he was in the middle of a crack.
On one side is my mother and sister, and on the other side is my own grandmother.
"Dad, I've been learning to read and write with my sister recently, and I have to do work for the family on weekdays, so I really don't have time to go tomorrow." Xu Dawa looked at Xu Dahai with a blank eye, "You just go and take a look." ”
"Hey......" Xu Dahai sighed, and he agreed to it.
He knew in his heart that after the eight-character sticker, Xu Lan and Zhang's would never deal with Chen's anymore.
Xu Dahai can't say anything about them.
After all, no matter what you say, the Chen family is not reasonable, but after all, it is his own mother, and he can't really leave it alone.
Zhang lowered his head to eat, but he didn't hear the conversation between father and son.
Xu Lan had been distracted and didn't notice the conversation at the dinner table.
The next day, Xu Lan rarely slept until noon before waking up.
She was not in good spirits when she woke up, with two dark circles under her eyes.
Zhang was shocked when she saw it, and thought she hadn't slept all night.
She stared at Xu Lan carefully, trying to find out what was wrong, but Xu Lan did as usual, after helping to cook, she began to feed the chickens and dry firewood.
After finishing the work at home, Xu Lan began to clean up her room.
She carefully sorted out the medical books and the pen and ink she bought.
"Mother, I haven't had much work in the cold weather lately, and I'm thinking that I should study hard." Xu Lan said, "I want to light more oil lamps at night." ”
"Okay." Recently, the family has become richer, and it is not a big deal to light more lights, Zhang said worriedly, "Don't look bad at your eyes." ”
"No, I'll wake up myself."
Seeing Xu Lan preparing to study seriously, Zhang hurriedly asked the family to slow down their movements, so as not to disturb her.
Xu Lan opened the book and studied seriously.
She still felt uncomfortable, so she had to find something to do for herself, whether it was studying or doing housework, as long as she was busy, then she didn't have time to think about Liang Wei's affairs.
Besides, there have been a lot of things recently, and the progress of studying medicine is really a little lower than she originally expected.
After Xu Lan passed through that day, she felt that she couldn't go on like this.
She seemed to be holding back a lot of energy in her heart, wanting to change her fate.
The only way to do that is to study hard.
Xu Lan retracted her mind and focused her attention like never before, which made her homework a lot faster.
The lesson that Lin Yanmu left for Xu Lan was learned by her in just a few days.
Xu Lan already has some foundation, and these books are not difficult for her.
But she was afraid that something would go wrong, so she carefully memorized it several times.
Xu Dawa was also encouraged when she saw her sister working so hard.
He used to feel dizzy when he saw the words, but now he can be quiet and learn a few more words every day.
When Xu Dahai saw this scene, he felt that his children had grown up, and he was quite relieved.
"It's still useful to read more." Xu Dahai said to Xu Dawa, "Don't listen to the nonsense of others in the village. Look at those who have gone out from the village to make a name for themselves, which one of them can't read and write? ”
Xu Dawa nodded again and again.
"Not to mention anything else, if you can't read or write, you will definitely be deceived."
Zhang looked at the appearance of the family working together, and there was a smile on his face every day.
It was Xu Dahai who took Xu Dawa's class and went to visit the Chen family from time to time.
Before he could enter the door, he heard Chan crying in the house.
Hearing her cry, Xu Dahai's heart was sour, and he remembered what happened when he was a child. He couldn't bear it, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"The Liu family is too bullying." Chen wiped his eyes and said, "There was sand in the food she brought me, but I just said a few words, she didn't send me anything last night, and I have been hungry until now." ”
Xu Dahai immediately became anxious.
It's almost noon now, and I'm actually hungry for two meals.
He gave the money to the Liu family, treating the old man so harshly, Xu Dahai immediately got angry and looked for it.
Seeing him come to the door to question, Liu's face was cold, and he said, "What if you give money?" My family can't afford to serve her big Buddha! ”
