Chapter 2: Troubled

Xu Ningxue bought the medicine and the snacks for her aunt, and on the way back, her expression was not as radiant as when she first went out, but she looked a little dignified, and her face was full of worries.

The doctor's words still echoed in my ears, and if the disease is always suppressed by medication, it is not a problem, and if the disease worsens one day, it will be too late by then, so it is best to have surgery as soon as possible.

Xu Ningxue's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and while pedaling the bicycle slowly, she was thinking in her heart, it will soon be the day of the start of high school, the tuition fees will also be required, the money for her father's medicine, and her grandfather's body doesn't seem to be as tough as before recently, all of which are critical moments with money, what should she do?

used to rely on her father's meager salary as a music teacher in school, but recently her father has fallen ill, and there is not much money left for her summer vacation to buy medicine, how can she solve this dilemma?

She looked up at the bank on the side of the road, no wonder so many people had the idea of hitting the bank, because at this time, she also wanted to learn from the TV to wear stockings and rob the bank.

Then she smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out her hand and patted her face, Xu Ningxue, but you must not have this kind of thought, as the saying goes, a poor person cannot be without ambition! At most, wouldn't it be good for her to give up studying, as long as she goes out to work, earns enough money, and then cures her father's illness, and then lets them live in a good house, yes, it's decided!

Xu Ningxue's originally dim eyes were full of hope at this time, not because she was too naΓ―ve, but because she always believed that there was no endless road, she would always see hope, even if there was only a little hope, she had to reach out and try to grasp it.

Xu Ningxue changed directions, parked the bicycle at the door of a small noodle restaurant, hesitated for a while, and then pushed open the glass door and entered.

A girl who was about the same age as Xu Ningxue came out, a little chubby, and smiled brightly, "Ningxue, isn't school about to start?" How can you still be free here? Are you here to see me? After she finished saying hello, she immediately brought Xu Ningxue a cold drink, "Drink quickly, look at you sweating profusely, why do you still come out in such a sun?" ”

Xu Ningxue sat down on the chair, wiped the sweat on her face, compared with the girl's bright smiling face, her expression was a little dim, and she smiled reluctantly, "Xiaohan, there are almost two weeks before school starts, and your memory is still as bad as ever." ”

Lin Xiaohan scratched his hair a little embarrassed, and stuck out his tongue mischievously, "It's not like I've been with you for a long time." She sat in front of Xu Ningxue, supporting her cheeks with her hands, "Alas, the holiday time flies so fast, and school is about to start in a blink of an eye, but the happy thing is that we are still in the same school, right?" ”

Hearing Lin Xiaohan say this, Xu Ningxue's face nodded a little abruptly, time is like a white horse passing by, no matter what you gain or what you lose, you can't keep anything in the end anyway.

Xu Ningxue and Lin Xiaohan, who can also be regarded as "childhood sweethearts", grew up together, when they were young, they played crazy in the village together, climbed trees and dug birds' nests, and every time they would hang a colorful back, her father would never blame her, but when she rubbed the medicine, she would be heavier, so that she could remember the lesson of falling from the tree.

Later, Lin Xiaohan's family opened a small noodle restaurant in the town, in order to do business, so the family moved out of the village, but the town is not very far from the village, Xu Ningxue pedaled the bicycle is more than 20 minutes away, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Lin Xiaohan saw that Xu Ningxue was a little stunned, and didn't know what she was thinking, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her a few times, "Ning Xue, what are you thinking?" ”

Xu Ningxue came back to her senses, "I didn't think about anything, in fact, I did come here because I asked you for help." She bit her lip, and secretly made up her mind in her heart, what else is there to hesitate, she can't take care of it in front of her, where is she still thinking about such a long-term thing.

Lin Xiaohan slapped the table vigorously, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "Ning Xue, the two of us have been friends for so long, if you have anything, just tell me, no matter whether you go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, I will help you." ”

The corners of Xu Ningxue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at the strange eyes of the surrounding guests left and right in embarrassment, "Okay, I know you will help me with everything, don't be so exaggerated, I'm going to continue to help in your store, okay?" ”

Lin Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What do you mean? The day of leaving school is not far away, you also need to take a break, don't be busy all day. ”

Xu Ningxue raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaohan, "I mean, I won't go to school anymore, I will continue to work to earn money to support my family, anyway, in this era, you don't have to rely on reading alone to have a way out, right?" ”

She smiled indifferently, but the loneliness in her eyes was boundless.

Lin Xiaohan was in no mood to joke now, his expression was solemn, "I don't agree, if you have any difficulties, I can help you, I can ask my mother to lend you money, you can't go to school." ”

She also knows the situation at Xu Ningxue's home very clearly, as Xu Ningxue's friend, she can't watch her friend have difficulties and do nothing.

Xu Ningxue looked at Lin Xiaohan for a while, and then chuckled, "Hey, even if you can help me, then you can't support me for a lifetime, I can only rely on myself." ”

Lin Xiaohan stretched out her hand to grab Xu Ningxue's hands, although it was still hot and humid, but Xu Ningxue's hands were still cold and had no temperature, she said anxiously: "I don't care, I must help you, you wait, I'll go to my mother now." ”

"Xiaohan, why are you more stubborn than me, ...... you come back"

Lin Xiaohan didn't care about Xu Ningxue's stopping, she stood up immediately, and it just so happened that Aunt Lin had just pushed the door in, and Lin Xiaohan hurriedly ran to her, "Mom, I have something to tell you......"

Aunt Lin's expression seemed to be even more anxious, and pushed Lin Xiaohan aside, "Oh, Xiaohan, what's the matter later, I have more important things to do now." ”

Lin Xiaohan still didn't let go of her and thought to herself, "Mom, what important things can you have, my affairs are important." ”

Aunt Lin paused, turned around and scolded her in a low voice: "You kid, you really don't know how expensive rice is, do you know what day it is?" ”

Lin Xiaohan blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Aunt Lin sighed, "I knew that today was the day to pay the rent for the store!" Recently, the business has been so weak, and I don't know if the money I made today is enough, alas, I am really worried! Get out of the way, let me do the important things first. ”

Lin Xiaohan stomped his feet, and when he wanted to say something more, he was dragged aside by Xu Ningxue and made a silent gesture.
