Chapter 8 The two of them are a family
For her sister Hao Xiaomei, there has always been a constant image in Hao Shen's heart: a chubby face, a silly smile, a pair of small hands that are often dirty, and an aggrieved little mouth that is deflated most of the time and the appearance of snuggling up to her lap forever - that is Hao Xiaomei's image when she was five years old.
Although time passed, that little girl seemed to grow up a little bit every day, but in Hao Shen's heart, it has never changed.
It wasn't until the year when Hao Xiaomei entered high school that Hao Shen occasionally turned out old photos and was surprised to find a fact:
Ouch mom, who is this pretty girl?
Thanks to the Hao family's excellent genes (Hao Shen seems to be recessive genes), Hao Xiaomei is a rare beautiful girl, tall and slender, with a delicate and lovely face, but she has the name of the school flower at school, and she may as well be more than those idols in a no-makeup state. In addition, she has a quiet and sensible personality, and she studies hard and seriously, and she is really a model of a good sister in China.
can raise his sister so well, Hao Shen is also very proud.
Of course, for such an excellent sister, this makes Hao Shen often worried: will anyone be jealous of her looking for trouble, will she fall in love, if there is a boy chasing his sister, will he kill him or kill him, will the traffic be so chaotic now, will the satellite fall in the sky, so many perverted monsters in society can't let go of themselves, and so on and so forth.
Therefore, Hao Shen worked hard to let his sister board at school, and every time his sister rested, he put down all the work he was doing to escort the whole process.
It's like a full-time dad.
Don't laugh, Hao Shen is very serious!
Because the truth is very simple - Hao Xiaomei is Hao Shen's only relative in this world!
The brother and sister are the whole family.
Hao Shen looked at Hao Xiaomei in front of him happily, looked left and right, up and down, back and forth, and finally patted Hao Xiaomei's head, "Not bad, I've grown taller again, go, go home, make braised fish for you at noon, drink more fish soup to supplement calcium!" ”
"What else to make up, it's almost one meter seven, besides, brother, you're too exaggerated, I haven't grown one last year." Hao Xiaomei pouted, but there was also a smile in her eyebrows. While speaking, he had already climbed up Hao Shen's electric three jumpers, skillfully pulled out Mazha and sat firmly, "Let's go, go home and eat braised fish!" ”
Electric three jumpers galloped, first went to the vegetable market, bought a fat carp, two pork belly, plus the required condiments and all kinds of vegetables, packed three big bags - a total of two days, Hao Shen usually has no time to cook, only when Hao Xiaomei goes home will show his skills, buying on demand is also an important part of thrift.
Of course, to be truly diligent and thrifty, what really depends on bargaining skills.
Hao Xiaomei carried a plastic bag, smiled and watched Hao Shen foaming at the mouth and bargaining with the aunt who bought vegetables, first cutting off two cents from the catty price, and then cutting off one piece from the total price, and when the final bargaining was successfully settled, Hao Shen also pulled out two green onions from the vegetable seller as a gift.
In short, when the booth where DSLR Hao Shen paid the bill left, there would always be a large amount of swearing behind him, and the content did not deviate from the theme of 'slamming the door'.
Hao Shen didn't care about this, why should the winner care about the curse of the loser? That's the best hymn to victory.
Although the value of this hymn is only a few cents.
When she returned home, Hao Xiaomei hummed a song to tidy up the housework, because the house was cleaned once a month on average, so she was very serious.
Hao Shen took advantage of the situation to get into the kitchen, wash vegetables and cook fish.
The sound of frying in the oil pan gradually diffuses the rich aroma of sauce.
Hao Shen felt a heartfelt happiness, and his mood was also warm and calm.
When he was halfway through cooking, Hao Shen was distracted for a moment, and then patted the system in his pocket: "What day is it?" ”
System: ".......... You're asking this after half a chapter of TM brewing? ”
Hao Shen rolled his eyes, and also turned over the green pepper fried meat in the pot, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" To say or not to say? Not to mention that I look at my phone. ”
"March 14, Friday, the ninth day of the second lunar month." The system smacked its lips unpleasantly, and then reacted, "Your uncle, you dare to compare this system with your broken Nokia?" This system is a universal system.,How many books in the book are the super gold fingers that the protagonist of the dick silk dreams of.,It's not your electronic watch? Besides, Nokia can have this system? This system can smash the galaxy through the ground if it falls underground, do you believe it? ”
Hao Shen automatically skipped a large paragraph of words at the back of the system, and sighed, "Doesn't that mean that there are less than three months left before Xiaomei's college entrance examination?" ”
"More than eighty days, what's wrong? I don't think I need to worry too much about Xiaomei's results. Which of the exams did that girl not rank out on? With her grades and this year's score line, Tsinghua University and Peking University should not be a problem, but if you want to get a scholarship, you have to work hard. ”
Hao Shen is it. Hao Xiaomei is an excellent beautiful girl, so it goes without saying that the results are endless. This girl was actually quite naughty when she was a child, but she became sensible since her personality grew, and Hao Shen actually told her a word: Knowledge changes fate. That diploma may not prove anything, but at least it will keep you from being like your brother and not being able to find a decent job.
Now that I think about it, this sentence is a bit cruel to seven-year-old Hao Xiaomei, and Hao Shen has felt guilty for a long time. After the death of his parents, it became his responsibility and obligation to raise his sister. But at that time, when he was at the most bitter, Hao Shen was also confused: can he raise his sister? I can't even support myself, how can I support my sister to grow up and go to school?
In this confusion, Hao Shen even contacted many rich couples who were willing to adopt Xiaomei, however, at the last moment, he finally refused. This is actually another selfish decision, because Hao Shen is afraid of being alone, and he can't imagine that when he reunites with Xiaomei again at some point in the future, this blood relative will be a stranger to him, and his feelings for him will only be resentment.
Of course, these are all things in the past, and for now, the two brothers and sisters are still living relatively well: Hao Shen has a stable job (supporting environmental protection starts with me) and has a considerable income. My younger sister grew up healthily and had excellent grades. Although the family conditions are still relatively poor, at least there is a promising future.
But now, the future has changed again.
I have obtained an incredible "ability", and in line with the needs of plot development, my future life will definitely not be as I had planned before.
What Hao Shen was thinking about at the moment was what kind of impact this expected change would have on Hao Xiaomei.
Even if it's too far, no matter how close it is, Xiaomei should take the college entrance examination in three months, if it affects Xiaomei's college entrance examination because of herself, then the sin will be great.
Hao Shen hesitated for a moment and told the system about his worries. I originally thought that with the character of the system, I would definitely complain about myself, but I didn't expect that even the system was silent and fell into contemplation.
“........ That's a real problem, and you're right to be worried. The system shrunk into his pocket and fell together, like a person who was stuck in thought unintentionally tapping his fingers on the tabletop: "If nothing else, your ability alone may not be able to hide it." For us, it is still difficult to operate information, and sometimes even an idea comes out and information begins to be formed. But if she confesses directly to Xiaomei, will she accept it? This kind of thing was originally something in the novel TV, but suddenly it really appeared, which must have been a big shock to Xiaomei. From a psychological point of view, she will worry about you, she will envy you, and even she will be jealous of you - don't frown, this is human nature, no matter how good Xiaomei is, she is just an ordinary human being, okay? In short, in the end, it will definitely affect her grades as you feared......"
"You can only be careful, don't show any horses." Hao Shen sighed and muttered in a low voice, "Although I think it's quite nonsense, with the urine and brain holes of this book, something must happen!" ”
The system was also silent for a moment, and nodded resolutely despite the author's objection: "That's a must!" ”
"What's wrong? Brother, who are you talking to? At the kitchen door, Hao Xiaomei's head popped out, because when she got home, this girl scattered her ponytail, and the long hair that was almost to her shoulders naturally hung down like a waterfall - this is Xiaomei's long hair just left this year, before that, this girl has always had short hair, like a tomboy, it is naturally not because Hao Xiaomei likes short hair, but because short hair can save shampoo.
Hao Shen hurriedly knocked on the system and motioned him not to move, "It's nothing, I'm humming...... The meal is almost ready, put the things in your hand first, and eat. ”
"Oh......" Hao Xiaomei glanced at the kitchen suspiciously, the small kitchen was unobstructed, and there was no one else at all.
Serving rice, serving food, the brother and sister quickly arranged lunch, the two of them sat at the small table one by one, and with Hao Xiaomei's chuckle, the two of them rushed to pull fish and braised pork into their bowls - this is a game that the brothers and sisters often play.
But this time Hao Shen was obviously a little absent-minded, he pulled a few chopsticks and stopped, still worried about his sister's future, looking at the little girl's face full of rice grains, he couldn't help sighing, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Hao Xiaomei's bowl.
"Forget it, I won't rob you, I didn't eat well at school. You, don't keep thinking about saving money, our hard days are over. If you want to eat or drink, just buy it. ”
Hao Xiaomei laughed and silently pulled two mouthfuls of rice. Hao Shen knew that she didn't listen to this, but in fact, after ten years of hard life, thrift has become a habit of life for the two of them.
There is a saying that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but I don't know that sometimes it is difficult to go from thrift to luxury.
After the meal, the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, and the Hao family brothers and sisters worked together to clean the house, and there were basically no accidents this afternoon.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the brother and sister went back to their rooms to rest, and the night was also very peaceful.
But I don't know if it's really Hao Shen's crow's mouth or as the system said the author's idle egg hurts, and when it was early in the morning, something still happened.
Hao Shen, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to hear someone calling for something in a daze, his voice was bitter and complaining, and the ghost cried wolf, and sometimes far and near, if there was nothing. Anyway, he didn't really hear it, and before his brain could react, he thought about who was howling and singing there in the middle of the night, and he didn't have a sense of morality. In the end, I couldn't bear to open my eyes, but suddenly found that I was lying in a strange place!
In a mechanical-style room!
