Chapter 7: The Little Gangsters
During the evening self-study, Shang Xia competed with his own test papers. Four hundred and nine, what an unprecedented shame. She couldn't even sleep without finding every mistake and chewing it a hundred times.
When all the classmates in the class left, she stood up and stretched, it felt so good to have her feet on the ground, it felt good to be able to bury herself in the test paper and brush the questions, in short, it was good to come back.
"So, my opponent is back?" An abrupt voice sounded behind him.
Shang Xia turned his head and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Lin Ran." ”
As the first in the grade, Lin Ran sat firmly in the position of a top student and never gave up his first place.
And when they were admitted to Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School, Shang Xia was the first, and he was the second. Since entering the school, he has begun to compete with Shang Xia's first place.
As for Shang Xia, he began to be a little fluttering when he was admitted to high school, and then he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he plunged into the pit of Cheng Kai and never got up again.
Shang Xia looked at Lin Ran stunned, and soon smiled, "Yes, I'm back." ”
"Welcome back." After Lin Ran said this, he turned his head and picked up his schoolbag and left.
Shang Xia pursed his lips and smiled silently. yes, welcome back, and also, thank you.
Zhou did not go home, Chen Xi has been discharged from the hospital, but the cast on his leg is still there, and the doctor estimates that it will take at least two months to remove it.
Chen Xi was reluctant to be discharged from the hospital, but the family's expenses were too great, and Chen Dong had to return home to continue recuperation.
"You came back just in time, hurry up and boil water to take a bath for me, it's really hot this day." Chen Xi lay on the bed and yelled.
"I've already wiped it once at noon." Shang Xiaohe whispered to her daughter, but her eyes looked at Chen Yougui. But Chen Yougui sat on the sofa, and his eyelids didn't droop.
"I'll do it." Shang Xiaohe sighed slightly, turned around and went to boil water.
Shang Xia stopped his mother, "Mom, I'll come." ”
Then she glanced at the dishes and persuaded her mother: "My sister has broken her bones, so she should boil more bone broth." ”
"This ......" Shang Xiaohe In addition to his own salary, Chen Yougui will also give 200 yuan to the family every month, and Shang Xiaohe himself will take 200 yuan as the family's family. And the rest of the salaries of the two people, Chen Yougui is in charge of himself, and Shang Xiaohe's is responsible for all the expenses of his daughter, buying clothes and shoes, including paying tuition, all of which are hers.
If you have to drink soup every meal, this money is obviously not enough.
Chen Yougui heard it, raised his head and said, "In the past two months, I have added a hundred yuan every month." ”
"Okay, I'll go buy bone stew tomorrow."
This hundred yuan is actually not for Chen Xi, but to appease Shang Xiaohe. The dowry she brought over was stolen by Chen Dong, and the couple have not officially talked about it. Chen Yougui didn't know how to talk about it, but Shang Xiaohe didn't know how to talk about it, so the matter dragged on.
But Chen Xi didn't know, she patted the bed and shouted proudly: "Who is impatient to drink bone broth every day, I want to drink pork rib soup, chicken soup, and stewed soybeans with hoof flowers." ”
"Mom, I'll accompany you to buy it early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." The mother and daughter wanted to talk alone at home, but they had no space, and if they had anything to say, they could only go out. This is also the tacit understanding of their mother and daughter, Shang Xiaohe nodded in agreement.
Chen's house is a small second room, Chen Xi and Shang Xia share a bedroom, with high and low beds, similar to the school dormitory. As for Chen Dong, when he was at home, he could only live in the living room.
Chen Xi, who was lying in bed all day, was not sleepy at all, tossed for a night, pounded the bed again, and shouted to go to the toilet, so noisy that Shang Xia didn't sleep well all night. As soon as she closed her eyes in the morning, she was woken up by Chen Xi's loud voice, so she simply got up and went to the vegetable market with her mother to buy vegetables.
"I haven't slept all night, don't come back next week, I'll see you at school." Shang Xiaohe saw that her daughter's eyes were blue, and she was very distressed.
"It's okay, just say that I have a tight homework, we all spread out the mat and go to the top floor of the dormitory to sleep at night, you come over and we have a place to live, and we don't crowd."
When buying meat, Shang Xia picked a bone that was fat and thin, with a lot of meat, and the stew was just right.
"Your sister likes to eat skinny food."
"Isn't there still Uncle Chen?" Shang Xia smiled, the older generation of people who came from a hard life like fat and thin.
"In the future, stew the soup, don't skim the slick oil, doesn't Uncle Chen think that the soup is fragrant if there is oil?"
"That's so tiresome." Shang Xiaohe is a woman who can live and plan to make a living, even if she lives a tight life, she can live a beautiful life.
"We can't even drink a sip, what does it matter if we are greasy or not. Let's not say that Uncle Chen likes it, just say that Chen Xi is kept at home, I don't know how many people are staring at you and want to pick your thorns, don't raise twenty pounds of weight, how can it seem that you are serving with your heart. ”
Shang Xia said softly in a slow tone with a smile on his face.
Shang Xiaohe let out a light "ah", and then "huh", looked at his daughter, and slowly tightened his fingers on his daughter's arm.
"Xia Xia."
"Mom, don't persuade me, you have been kind to people all your life, and when you divorced that person, did anyone let you go because of your kindness? Others just think that you are weak and can be bullied. Kindness is a very warm thing, not only can illuminate others, but also illuminate yourself, but some people are not worthy. ”
A low sigh that contains the heaviness of past and present lives. Repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue, so repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue.
"Xia Xia." Shang Xiaohe's tears rolled in his eyes, "Over the years, my mother has wronged you. ”
"There are no grievances, there is a mother's child like a treasure, and there is a mother, I am not wronged at all." Shang Xia stretched out his hand to wipe away Shang Xiaohe's tears, "It's my mother who has been wronged." ”
