Chapter 27: The Liar
Liu Yuxin doesn't seem to mind Zhou Tianle calling her father her father-in-law.
Zhou Tianle replied: There are indeed too many scammers now.
Originally, Zhou Tianle wanted to say why the school didn't teach students how to prevent being deceived? Why isn't there a lesson taught on how to spot scam traps? Think about it again and what to do with Liu Yuxin.
It took a few minutes for Liu Yuxin to send a message: Are you a liar?
Zhou Tianle was shocked and asked himself: Am I a liar?
He thought that Liu Yuxin must have been entangled for a long time before asking this question. Zhou Tianle replied: Of course not.
In fact, what he thought in his heart was that I don't know if I'm a liar or not, and even if I'm not now, maybe I'll become a liar one day in the future, maybe I'm still a hypocritical and outright liar.
Liu Yuxin replied: Hee hee...... Hopefully we can keep going like this.
How can there be a smooth sailing love, but when it has not yet arrived, what can still be together is nothing more than choosing to compromise.
Zhou Tianle replied: We must believe that there is unswerving love in this world.
After replying to this sentence, Zhou Tianle thought to himself: I have gradually become a veritable liar.
Liu Yuxin replied: Well, I also believe it...... Hee-hee. By the way, what about the puppy?
Only then did Zhou Tianle remember that Liu Yuxin had told her to leave the "puppy" with her when she left Wuhan. I forgot about it when I got up, and now I don't know where the puppy is, how is it? Forget it, why do you want to do so much, cats have cats' lives, life and death are up to you.
Zhou Tianle naturally didn't tell Liu Yuxin about this, he only told Liu Yuxin that the "puppy" was taken home by one of his local roommates in Wuhan. Liu Yuxin only replied with an "oh" word.
Since returning home, Shu Xin has never been out of the village, and is basically with her grandmother every day. When I'm free, I only read books in my room, and I wanted to make my life rhythm the same as usual, but if I do this at home, my grandmother will definitely stare at me like a monster, and she will say that she still doesn't practice yoga for the time being.
On this day, Shu Xin was half lying on the bed, wearing a cotton coat and covering the lower half of her body with a quilt to read a book, when it was noon, her grandmother called her outside the door, Shu Xin went out to see, and a little boy was hiding behind her grandmother.
There was a lot of snow outside, and there was snow on the shoulders and hair of the grandmother and the little boy. When I entered the room, my grandmother told Shu Xindao: "This is the grandson of Uncle Luo, the head of the village, he has something to buy on the street today, the snow is too big this day, and it is inconvenient to take a child, so he will come to our house temporarily, eat at my house at noon, and send it back in the evening."
Shu Xin just looked at the little boy with an "oh" sound, this little boy should be less than eight years old, wearing old clothes, Uncle Luo at the head of the village, Shu Xin remembered that his family's economic conditions were very bad, Uncle Luo's wife had already passed away, his son was working outside to earn money, and his daughter-in-law ran away because he disliked the poor family, and the whole family relied on his son to earn money outside to support the family, which was not easy.
Grandma said to the little boy, "Xiaowei, you and Sister Shu Xin are playing, grandma is going to cook."
Grandma went to the kitchen, and Shu Xin walked towards Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei stood motionless with her eyes firmly fixed on her sister Shu Xin, who was walking towards her. Shu Xin squatted down and patted the falling snow on Xiao Wei's head with his hand and asked, "Your name is Xiao Wei?"
Xiao Wei nodded, and comfortably could feel Xiao Wei shivering a little.
Shu Xin then asked, "Xiao Wei, how old are you this year?"
Xiao Wei lowered his head and said softly, "Seven years old."
Shu Xin heard Xiao Wei's voice very small, so small that people felt that he was very inferior. She took Xiao Wei's red hand and walked into his room, he found that Xiao Wei only had a very old cotton coat on his body, which seemed to be modified from adult clothes, and the cotton clothes alone could not withstand the cold in winter, and the cotton clothes had been wet by the snow.
Shu Xin asked Xiao Wei to take off his coat, Xiao Wei was a little helpless and refused to take it off, considering Xiao Wei's possible inferiority complex just now, Shu Xin thought that maybe this cotton clothes were older clothes inside, and letting others see his clothes inside might hurt his self-esteem. Such a young child, so pitiful, there are too many left-behind children like this now.
Said with a comfortable smile: "Xiao Wei, your clothes outside are wet, it's easy to catch a cold if you don't take them off, I have a piece of clothing here for you to put on first."
Xiao Wei took off his coat, and inside was a red and shabby sweater, he didn't dare to look up at Shu Xin, still with his head down. In this comparatively friendly society, poverty means inferiority, it means inferiority.
Shu Xin put his clean down jacket on Xiao Wei's body, and saw that his shoes were just ordinary sneakers, Shu Xin thought: Don't you even have cotton shoes?
Shu Xin took out his cotton slippers from the corner of the bed and put them next to Xiao Wei, and said solemnly: "Sit on the bed and take off your shoes, wear this."
Xiao Wei, perhaps because of the comfortable tone of speech, hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, and was about to sit down when he stopped again, squatting on his thin body and untying his shoes.
Shu Xin asked, "Why don't you sit on the bed?"
Xiao Wei said while untying his shoelaces: "Grandpa said that you are not allowed to sit in someone else's bed when you go to someone else's house."
Shu Xin's heart was sour: tutoring, politeness, and sensibility, these have nothing to do with poverty, and it is not wrong for children from poor families to be in charge of the family early.
After putting on cotton slippers, Xiao Wei said to Shu Xin: "Thank you, sister."
Shu smiled and said, "No thanks, Xiao Wei."
I don't know if Xiao Wei put on cotton slippers or gradually became familiar with Shuxin, the smile on his face was more, and although there was still a little stopper in chatting with Shuxin, it was not as wooden as when he first entered the house.
Shu Xin asked, "Xiao Wei, where did your grandfather go?"
Xiao Wei said: "Dad said that he didn't make any money this year and didn't want to go home for the New Year, so he gave Grandpa a thousand yuan. Grandpa went to the bank to withdraw money today, and said that he would call his father and ask him to go home for the New Year, and said that the most important thing is the safe reunion of the family. ”
How good it is to have such an ordinary and simple family, poverty does not mean that there is no warmth.
Shu Xin wanted to scold Xiao Wei's mother, could she give up her children and husband just because she was poor, and go to the outside world alone. How many families has poverty destroyed?
On the other hand, Shu Xin also thinks of himself, if he is Xiao Wei's mother, will he also choose to leave because of poverty? It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, the reason why I think this is because this is Xiaowei's business, and it has nothing to do with myself, so I can talk nonsense to others in a grand manner, if it really happens to me, is it also a similar choice?
At lunchtime, my grandmother turned on the TV, and the weather forecast was reporting freezing rain in some parts of southern China. Listening to the weather forecast on the TV, Grandma sighed and said, "It just snowed heavily, followed by freezing rain, this is a snow disaster."
Xiao Wei lowered his head and did not speak, although he was young, he still understood the meaning of the weather forecast, and the more he ate, the slower he ate. Seeing Xiao Wei's changes, grandma seemed to see through his careful thoughts, and asked first, "Xiao Wei, is grandma's cooking delicious?"
Xiao Wei still lowered his head, holding the rice bowl motionless, looked at his grandmother comfortably, and then looked at Xiao Wei and asked what was wrong.
Grandma glanced at Comfort and said to Xiao Wei, "Is Xiao Wei worried about grandpa?"
Xiao Wei nodded, and grandma looked at the snow outside the window and said, "Xiao Wei, don't worry, your grandfather has walked that road all his life, and he can come back with his eyes closed, what is a little snow." Let's eat first, watch TV after eating, and wait for grandpa to pick you up. ”
Children are easy to deceive, and they can easily take what adults say seriously. Xiao Wei thought that his grandfather would come to pick him up after eating, and he ate happily.
