Chapter 36: The Stubborn Uncle
Chapter 36 The stubborn uncle
"I don't care whose daughter you are, as long as you don't have a fake note, I can't let you out of school, it's for your safety."
Obviously, when the doorman uncle said this, Li Linxi already knew that he had met an extremely stubborn uncle today.
Now that even Dad Su's trump card doesn't work, Li Linxi really has no choice but to give up his plan to leave the school from the school gate.
However, ......, Li Linxi has never been a person who will give up easily.
After taking out the small mobile phone he had smuggled in the backpack, Li Linxi deposited his backpack with the stubborn doorman uncle in the name of being inconvenient to go to the toilet.
After disposing of the backpack, Li Linxi ran towards the left rear of the school.
Hum.
Looking at the wall that was still a few steps away in front of him, Li Linxi sneered, began to slow down, and walked towards the gap in the wall that had not yet come and been repaired.
She had heard from the boys who often sneaked out that there had been a gap in the left rear wall of the school recently, but fortunately the place was not difficult to find.
The school was built in the suburbs, and the place where the gap was located was somewhat remote, Li Linxi stood inside the wall, and through the gap that could accommodate one person, he saw the muddy river outside the school.
And this big river is not an ordinary river, it is a river famous for cannibalism here. The so-called cannibalism is naturally not a real cannibalism, but I just think that someone always ends their lives here, which is why this cannibalism is named.
The breeze came one after another, and the row of green trees next to the wall began to sway with the gust of wind. The sound of the leaves hitting each other, and the constant clatter of the river hitting the embankment, Li Linxi smoothed his wind-blown somewhat messy skirt, and gently drowned out of the place he wanted to escape.
Walking out of the campus, Li Linxi only felt that his whole world was bright, without the caution between the students in the school, and without the pressure to complete the task. Yes, just empty avenues and rows of green belts.
However, Li Linxi felt that the riverside avenue was a little empty, and at a glance, there was not even a person.
In the original Li Linxi's own world, Li Linxi has been living in the countryside when she was young, because she was really a little naughty when she was a child, Li Linxi's mother would always tell her in order to make her obedient, if she was disobedient or did something wrong, when it was late at night or when it was quiet, there would be a dirty thing coming to her.
Although Li Linxi has grown up now, he also knows that those ghosts do not exist from a scientific point of view. But because of the shadow of his childhood, from the bottom of his heart, Li Linxi is still afraid of staying alone at night or when people are quiet.
In addition, because in the previous story, Li Linxi was also taken away from the plug-in, Li Linxi, who had no protective umbrella, walked on the riverside avenue, and the freedom, anger and shame in his heart began to decline continuously, and fear began to breed in the bottom of Li Linxi's heart.
Although Li Linxi doesn't look unusual on the surface, in fact, only she knows that she wants to find a safe place, but that place is definitely not studying.
The desire for a safe place prompted Li Linxi to constantly speed up his pace, from the first brisk walking, to jogging, and then to the current fast running.
Yes!
On the empty avenue, Li Linxi suddenly screamed.
But this time, it was not because of a fall, but simply because in the green belt, a middle-aged woman in black clothes suddenly broke into Li Linxi's field of vision.
Li Linxi stopped running, holding the big ginkgo tree in the green belt with one hand, breathing the air rapidly, while waiting for this "intruder" with his eyes tight.
"Kid, are you alright?"
It was obvious that Li Linxi's overly defensive state and rapid breathing at this time made the woman who was already frightened by the scream feel even more inexplicable, and looked at Li Linxi with a red face in confusion.
"I'm ......, I'm fine."
Hearing the woman's inquiry, hearing the sound of the woman's breathing, Li Linxi's heart that had been hanging tightly fell into his stomach.
Because of the fast running just now, the rapid breathing caused Li Linxi's response, which was not so coherent.
"Come, sit down here."
Seeing that Li Linxi was in a very tired state now, the woman took out a small bench from the bushes in the green belt next to her and placed it at Li Linxi's feet.
"Thank you."
Finally found a living person, and Li Linxi, who was relaxed in his heart, really felt very tired at this time. Without refusing the woman's kindness, Li Linxi began to sit on the small bench that was less than her knees and began to adjust her breathing.
Seeing Li Linxi sitting on the small bench, the woman smiled, walked to the small bush that took out the small bench before, and took out a bunch of green saplings and a small hoe. He started his work about four or five meters away from Li Linxi.
Because of Li Linxi's own life experience, Li Linxi knew that the woman in front of her was planting saplings, and this was her job.
The sound of digging the soil constantly surrounded Li Linxi's ears, leading Li Linxi's heart to calm down.
"Auntie, what is your salary?"
Li Linxi, who had almost recovered his strength and didn't know what he was going to do, began to chat with the middle-aged woman.
"Our salary is small, it is calculated according to the sapling, one yuan for a sapling, if we plant it quickly, we can earn more than 150 a day." Listening to Li Linxi's inquiry, the woman also replied patiently.
"Oh, that's good, it's almost a few thousand a month."
Although Li Linxi doesn't know much about the basic salary of the staff in the world she is in now, she subjectively feels that more than 4,000 a month is indeed not low.
"Well, it's not bad. We couldn't do this kind of work for a month, so we only did it for about seven or eight days, and after seven or eight days, all the saplings had been planted. ”
The woman's voice was full of tenderness that belonged to her mother, and her figure began to overlap with a figure in the depths of Li Linxi's heart, and Li Linxi's heart began to soften little by little.
Li Linxi left the small bench and walked towards the woman who was still planting trees. "Auntie, do you plan to change jobs?"
"We are rural, we don't have much education, and now in the city, there are no easy jobs for us to do. There is only these pitiful manual work. ”
Looking at Li Linxi, who was squatting not far from her, the woman smiled at Li Linxi, reached out and took another sapling, and stood it upright in the freshly dug soil pit.
While waiting for the movements in the woman's hands, Li Linxi then asked, "Auntie, why are you the only one here?" Aren't you afraid? ”
Hearing this, I saw the woman chuckle lightly, followed the movement of her hand, and said without raising her head: "I'm an adult, what is there to be afraid of." I'm the only one here, because everyone else dislikes the riverside avenue for being so gloomy, so no one takes the job. ”
Li Linxi very much agreed with the statement that this avenue was too gloomy, and said "um" softly.
Xu was too serious, and when the woman came back to her senses again, she only saw Li Linxi holding a small hoe in her hand, squatting beside her, imitating her movements, and began to dig a pit in the soil.
"You don't need to help me, if you have something, you can go first."
The woman still didn't stop the movements in her hands, and it was only after hearing her warm voice that Li Linxi could feel her exclusive warmth to her mother.
"I don't have anything to do, I'll help you"
Li Linxi answered casually. Imitating the movements of women, they began to dig holes continuously, and women also began to start in another place with a very tacit understanding.
Since the two of them had been busy planting trees, Li Linxi did not pay special attention to the change of time for the first time. In a trance, the Sun Father had already walked through the center.
During the whole process of planting trees, Li Linxi and the woman were chatting nonsense all the time, just like Li Linxi remembered that she and her mother were talking about.
During the chatter during the whole process, Li Linxi not only forgot about her previous unpleasant experience, but also learned a lot about women.
As she herself said before, this middle-aged woman came from a very underdeveloped rural area, and in order to give her only daughter a better future, she gave up her long-term job as a farmer and came to the city.
Because of the daily expenses in the city and the high cost of her daughter's tuition, she began to work on her own.
According to the woman, she takes almost four or five hours off every day, and in addition to her current temporary tree-planting work, she is also a long-term sanitation worker and dishwasher.
And her husband died many years ago, her daughter is still in school, this family, only supported by her, physical fatigue and mental blows, so that her whole state has not been good.
Fortunately, her daughter is very well-behaved and sensible, and she is also very serious about studying, which gives her the motivation to continue to live and work hard.
In her world, her children are everything to hers.
The woman told Li Linxi a lot of things, and in exchange and in response to her kindness, Li Linxi also confided in her a lot of things about her.
These things are really her business, not Su Qiqi's.
She told the women that her mother was a small fruit seller, and that her father was a man with no great skills, but a very kind heart.
It also told the women that their families were also farmers and that they had also moved from the countryside to the cities.
