Contentment is happiness.

This is a rare warm scene in this family:

Sitting face-to-face with my mother in front of the coffee table, holding my chin to see that my mother carefully peeled the extremely black peel of the apple very thinly;

Mom would look left and right to see where the flesh could not be eaten, and finally figure out how to peel it so that the edible part could be kept to the greatest extent.

It's not an exaggeration at all, even if it's such a fruit, my mother herself is reluctant to eat it, so she hides her love in the carefully cut flesh, and holds it on a small plate for Hua Lone.

The health promotion will tell us:

No matter what kind of fruit, as long as there is rotten rot in one place, it will affect the whole fruit, and it contains toxins, but it must not be eaten.

But so what?

Mother Blossom can't afford those beautiful fresh fruits.

She noticed that fruit stalls in wet markets usually have large baskets in which all kinds of rotten fruits are disposed of at a low price.

At first, Hua Lone's mother was not too embarrassed to wipe her face in the crowded vegetable market and squatted there to shop, but when she thought that her daughter couldn't even afford to eat fruit, she also felt guilty in her heart, what was face?

Life is already so fragmented, what is there to hide.

Besides, no matter how bad things are, they are better than nothing, as long as you take the time to choose, you can always find something that looks good.

Hua Lin felt that her mother had chosen very well, she had never disliked it, nor did she feel that she had been treated by an unfair fate, she was very happy, and regarded this fruit full of surprises as an encouragement or reward for her mother.

Occasionally, she would laugh at herself in her heart:

Haha, what age is this, if you say to Shu Yu or Shen Yiyi, you must not believe that our family still eats rotten apples, it is all a bridge in the TV series.

Even if you are poor, you can find some rich relatives.

Hua Lin has an uncle who is an official, and their daughter is 9 years older than Hua Lian.

This aunt doesn't look down on Hua Lone's father, in her opinion, her sister is so pitiful that she lives below the food and clothing line because of his incompetence, and she can't even achieve the freedom of fruit, so she can only sneak in as much as possible to get help.

The reason why I say "sneaking" is, after all, it is my husband who is the official, and I am afraid of the bad reputation of "subsidizing my mother's family" if I blatantly give more money.

My uncle has always turned a blind eye to this.

He was also born in a bitter child in the ravine who changed his fate by studying and going to university, and it was the brothers in the family who did everything to give him the only opportunity to study, so he had this social status, and it was impossible for him not to remember it.

Therefore, he wants to support their family's own bloodline, not his wife's family.

It's just that because the brothers are in remote mountain villages, they don't study much, and they can't get out for a while, and it is impossible to send away any bits and pieces at home.

There are several sisters in the wife's mother's family, and there is also an old brother.

He knows what it means to be a "brother demon", the kind of deep-rooted mission of his sisters under the idea of patriarchy rooted in the era.

He understood, but only that: he did help Hua Lone's only uncle solve the big problem of working in the institutional unit.

In addition, the other sisters, that is a family matter, he will not interfere, including when the laid-off was on the cusp of the storm, they all expected him to be able to match the bridge and find a way out.

The Hua Lin family is the poorest of the sisters.

He looks down on Hua Lone's father the most, he can't compare to the old five families in terms of emotional intelligence, and he can't compare to the fourth family in terms of demeanor, and he is always jumping and jumping, and his uncle has heard about his hands-on Hua Lone.

Hua Lone, this child also grew up by himself, it's a pity.

Therefore, his wife always hides from herself to help them, like a rat in her granary, always like a little oil and water, and moves away little by little, but she wants to prepare it for her eldest brother, can she not be disgusted?

It's just that I think the mother and daughter are really pitiful.

On the surface, the fierce Father Hua Lin is actually sensitive in his heart, he knows the contempt from the depths of his heart, but he is powerless to change his mind, and he does not dare to declare a break, no matter how he justifies it, he is also one of the vested interests of the food that comes to him.

In addition to food, leather shoes, sneakers, spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes and pants, all the things eliminated by a family of three were brought back by my mother's big bags and small bags, and opened them one by one at home to see, and when they could be worn and used.

When I came back with my clothes, I was happiest than Hua Lonely, which had nothing to do with vanity, there was no distinction between old and new, but I just needed to maintain the most basic demands of life.

On that day, Hua Lin wore a hat that didn't quite fit and walked to school.

When we reached a fork in the road, a strong wind blew up, and the hat was blown away and swept into the swirling demonic wind.

Unlike now, when every family has a car, causing congestion on the road, the entire street was empty.

The flowers are chasing and the hats are running.

Hua Lonely chased again, and the hat ran away.

"Flower Silence - let me help you-"

It was a teenager standing on a bicycle.

Dressed in white, he swooped down from the slope of one of the forked roads, dragging the lengthy syllables like singing, and with the kinetic energy of the downhill, he turned sensitively and went straight to the place where the hat was.

It turned out to be Chen Xuan, that stupid classmate.

"It was too dangerous just now......"

Hua Lone's heart was moved, I haven't experienced this kind of love between teenagers for a long time, thank you.

Chen Xuan grinned, his round eyes seemed to have a warm sun, he handed his hat to Hua Lian's hand, turned the dragon's head, and continued happily.

Although some things are ordinary and not perfect, Hua Lin is still grateful.

They cast a faint soft light in the lonely secret garden of her heart, warming the damp corners that were soaked in by moss.

At this time, the small garden of Hua Lonely was sunny, and Shu Yu was blowing the wind and raining.

When I entered the school gate, Hua Lin met an aunt I didn't know, wandering around the door, and after seeing Hua Li, she came forward and asked, "What class are you in?" ”

Hua Lin said it without defense.

I only heard my aunt say again: "Can you help call Lin Shuyu in your class, I am her mother." ”

In the classroom, Shu Yu's expression was complicated, he couldn't tell whether he was angry or sad, and his eyes were full of heavy thoughts.

Luo Zhehan's seat next to him was empty, and Hua Lin hurriedly walked over, "Your mother is waiting for you at the school gate, you go and have a look." ”

Unexpectedly, Shu Yu listened, and only glanced at Hua Lian, "I don't know her." ”

Where does this begin?

Speaking of which, Shu Yu's eyes and face are really similar to that aunt, so Hua Lian believed her at once, how could it not be.

Hua Lin sensed that there should be some special contradiction between mother and daughter, but Shu Yu obviously didn't want to talk about it.

Hua Lin wondered if she should return to the school gate, after all, she had already brought the words to her by the way, and by the way, she wanted to reassure her mother.

After hesitating, the class bell rang, so I had to give up.

Hua Lin retreated, and silently observed Shu Yu in his seat, hey, why is there still no one in Luo Zhehan's seat.

When the class was almost halfway through, Luo Zhehan and Ge Taisheng arrived in a hurry, standing in front of the door and shouting a report.

The two of them came in with red faces and red ears, and they didn't forget to glance at Lin Shuyu a few times.

Because when they entered the school gate, they also met the aunt and were asked the same question as Hua Lone.

In the next period, physical education class, free time.

Shen Yiyi was talking and laughing with another boy who had transferred to another school, she beckoned to Hua Lian, who smiled and shook her head.

Hua Lin could see that the boy had always had thoughts about Shen Yiyi, and maybe because Shen Yiyi was close to him, when he gave Shen Yiyi a gift, he was afraid that Shen Yiyi would not accept it, so he gave one to himself, under the pretext that he recognized these two "sisters" at the same time.

But the difference in treatment is still a bit obvious, for example, the last time I gave Shen Yiyi a fountain pen, and by the way, I brought myself a palm-sized cotton puppet in the shape of a small sunflower, which was still a little black.

In this regard, Hua Lin is very self-aware, she is just a tool person.

The secret garden belonging to Shen Yiyi is full of rare and exotic grasses, which is very precious.

Even though the wild bees and butterflies are flying, she already has a place in her heart, and she prefers another little prince alone.

It was a classmate in her class before she transferred to another school.

Sometimes, Shen Yiyi would ride a bicycle and shout for Hua Lin to sit in the back seat of her and take Hua Lin home.

There are always a few days a week, and the students of the key junior high schools will also leave school at the same time, and the huge team of students will ride on the major roads of the city is very spectacular.

Shen Yiyi said that if there is fate, at the intersection downstairs of Hua Lone's house, the little prince who can meet her.

Hua Lin waited with her, maybe for a moment, she also wanted to see another figure.

However, none of them materialized.

Now that the boy was talking to Shen Yiyi, Hua Lin was not interested in participating.

Frankly speaking, the circle is too different, if there is only Shen Yiyi, the two girls can talk quite a lot, but with another boy, there is very little room for Hua Lin to interject in the intersection of the three people, and there is almost nothing left, it is not as good as the beauty of adults, provide a little more space for the two of them.

Hua Lin found Lin Shuyu in the classroom, she held her arms and buried her head, like an ostrich who did not want to take care of the world.

Hua Lin pulled Luo Zhehan's chair and sat down on the side.

Luo Zhehan was about to enter the classroom, but when he saw this scene from afar, he consciously returned to the playground.

"Actually, your mother looks a lot like you." Hua Lin said softly.

Originally, Hua Lin wanted to brew something to start, but she didn't expect that just this sentence would arouse Shu Yu, and she exploded like a cannonball.

"! I'm like my dad! ”

Shu Yu was unwilling to accept the reality, as if whoever said that she was like a mother would be angry with someone.

"Like like, like like."

After a while, Shu Yu told Hua Lone:

"When my parents divorced, I was the last one to know; Now that my mom is married, I'm the last one to know. Is it that one day my dad got married, and I was the last to know? ”

"Your mom is getting married?"

"It's over."

Hua Lin was choked and completely speechless.

Family ethics, right and wrong, twists and turns, this time it is really out of the norm again.
