Chapter 24 Future Plans
"Remember! No matter what, you have to continue to study, and we will continue to be classmates when the time comes! ”
After a while, Zhang Ze came back from the table and stretched out his tail finger to Lin Na: "Pull the hook, don't regret it!" ”
Lin Na also stretched out her tail finger: "Pull the hook, don't regret it!" ”
Wait, what did Zhang Ze say just now? Even if they continue to study in junior high school, they can't be classmates, right?
One went to the best school in town, and if he could get in, he would only go to the worst school.
Hey, Zhang Ze also has times when he is confused.
Lin Na hooked up with Zhang Ze, and promised that Li Li's brother would insist on studying, and secretly made up her mind to fight for it with her father no matter what.
Even if she was admitted to the worst junior high school at that time.
The younger brothers have grown up too, haven't they? The youngest fourth brother is nine years old!
The eldest sister is like a mother, pull the four of them up, Lin Na and me, is it easy?
Dad has been getting drunk more and more lately! The bets on the cards are getting bigger and bigger......
However, when Dad was sober, he was still reasonable occasionally, and maybe, if he talked to him again and sharpened his tongue a little more, he maybe, probably, probably agree to his request for further education.
If you don't even study in junior high school, the distance between yourself and Li Li's brother will get bigger and bigger.
She has calculated that as long as she can be admitted to junior high school, she will not have to go home every day and will not have so much housework to do, she will be able to find time to study hard.
It's man-made, and if you work hard, this achievement will naturally be raised.
As for the tuition, she inquired, and she only needed to give the school a load of millet every semester.
She can lead her younger brothers to plant the millet and hand it in.
What about the weekly food stamps?
It's impossible to ask Dad for money, it's a fantasy!
She had to take advantage of this summer vacation to chop wood, find herbs, and chop brooms to sell.
The fruit trees in the orchard also bear some fruit, and she can sell them to earn some money.
Lin Na, who made up her mind, was like taking a reassuring pill, getting up early every day, making breakfast for her younger brothers, washing clothes, and hurriedly going up the mountain to find a baby who could sell for money.
Li Li took the time to come over to see her from time to time, as long as he came during the day, he would inevitably come to the air.
Lin Na either went up to the mountain, or worked in the orchard and vegetable garden.
Her dark and thin face was filled with hope and joy, and it looked a little colorful and vivid.
In the days when the rice was harvested, Lin Na was so busy that he didn't even notice that he walked up to her, and there was a handsome guy standing almost one meter eight in front of him.
"Hey, little one, you can take it easy! Tell your brothers to help more, and your father, why didn't he come to help? I heard that he lost money today? ”
Li Li put on his sleeves, picked up a bundle of rice ears, and walked towards the threshing machine, asking Lin Na, who was leading several younger brothers to cut the grain, as he walked.
"Ah, I don't know, I didn't see him today, did he lose a lot of money?" Linna scooped out the grain from the threshing silo and wiped the sweat from her face with her hands.
What I thought in my heart was: The summer sun is so hot and poisonous, why does Brother Li Li just not tan?
"I heard that he lost 50 yuan!"
"What?" Linna almost jumped, and for a moment she suspected that she had misheard.
50 yuan is enough for her to study in junior high school and live for a semester.
She had already inquired with the young lady in the village who was studying in the town, and if she saved money a week, the food cost would be at least seven yuan.
She got up early and worked hard for more than a month, cutting almost more than 200 catties of firewood, 100 catties of brooms, and more than 10 catties of herbs; I picked dozens of catties of pomegranates and green pears and sold them.
In addition to the money to buy meat for his younger brothers, he finally saved more than thirty or forty yuan, and planned to finish harvesting the rice and then go up the mountain to find some herbs to sell.
The price of herbs is more expensive than firewood and broomsticks, but it is difficult to find, and it takes a long way to go to the deep mountains.
When she heard that her father had lost fifty yuan at once, she was so shocked that she was shocked.
Standing in front of her most cherished person, Brother Li Li, what would he think of her father?
What a shame! I can't wait to find a place to hide.
Li Li noticed her abnormality: "Did he ask you for money when he lost?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Na blinked, tears gathered and drifted away, blocking her eyes that had been clear for the past month or so because of her anticipation for the future.
The sun was very bright and dazzling, why were her eyes so blurry, she was about to lose sight of Li Li's brother.
Why is her head so dizzy, the sky is dark, her eyes are full of devastation, and the rice in the fields is in ruins.
As if invisible, her future.
Li Li originally wanted to ask when Lin Na's father started betting so much, but when he saw Lin Na, he was about to collapse and cry, so he stopped.
"If he embarrasses you, come to me." Finally he reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
Then he gave her a deep look and left.
After he left, Lin Na mechanically picked up the spoon and continued to hold the grain, while the younger brothers took turns grabbing the ears of rice and threshing the grain.
The threshing machine's axle wheel is spinning rapidly.
"Sister, pay attention, don't be scraped by the axle wheel!"
The younger brothers kept reminding her to stay safe, and Lin Na only responded mechanically.
When her brothers finished threshing the grain, she picked up the half-basket of millet and walked mechanically towards the house.
That night, Li Li had dinner at home, and he was always at ease with Lin Na, and he pricked up his ears and kept listening to Lin Na's movements.
He faintly heard the sound of Lin Na carrying the grain home with his younger brothers, and then heard Lin Na's father pushing the door into the house.
Then there was the sound of Father Lin cursing and scolding.
Then something hit the ground, and the sound of shattering was heard.
He couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed to Lin Na's house with his feet.
"Dad, please, don't look for it, there's nothing in the room, I don't have a penny!"
"Little girl, who are you fooling? I have seen you sell firewood, herbs, and fruits. Tell me quickly, where did you hide your money? ”
When Li Li rushed into the courtyard of the Lin family, a bag of clothes happened to be thrown out of Lin Na's room.
This was followed by a small bench.
The small bench almost hit Li Li's foot, but he quickly avoided it.
Strode into Linna's room.
Enraged, Linna's father turned the whole room through the room.
The things in the room were lying on the floor in a mess, and the clothes, books, and bedding were so messy that it was unbearable to look at them directly.
The contents of the dilapidated wardrobe have all been turned out.
Empty.
The original face of the wood is revealed, and the material is rough and the color is dull.
Lin Na stood in the dark room with a pale face, tired and helpless.
