Chapter 273: Estrangement

Shang Xia's gaze quickly flashed on the report card in his hand.

She knew that Xu Xingning was not in a state recently, but she only knew about Meng Shuisheng's side now.

"Xu Xingning's progress has always been very fast before, and so has Meng Shuisheng, but I don't know what happened in the last exam, and suddenly both of them plummeted, so I suspect that something happened to them."

Lin An'an's voice was soft, but the words he said were sonorous and powerful.

"Well, I've noticed it over there Xu Xingning, but I don't know what is going on, and I'm going to visit his house this week.

As for Meng Shuisheng, according to his previous understanding, it should be because of family affairs, probably because of conflicts with his family......"

Shang Xia's voice was a little distant, with a sense of meaning.

It's April, and the college entrance examination is just over two months away.

It is easy for students to go wrong, some are too relaxed and feel that they have nothing left to learn, and some are too nervous, resulting in too much psychological pressure for each exam.

On Friday afternoon, Lin Anan and Lin Ran went to Xu Xingning's house together, while Shang Xia and Huang Biao went to Meng Shuisheng together.

Before she could enter the house, she smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

"Teacher Shang, Uncle Huang, why are you here?"

It was Meng Shuisheng who came out, and his face was still standing with soot, which was inadvertently wiped by his hand and turned into a ball.

Huang Biao took a tissue and wiped it on his face.

"What the hell are you doing, you look like a flower cat."

Meng Shuisheng touched his head and smiled, it was exactly the same as when Huang Biao was shy.

"My grandma is sick and I'm giving her medicine."

When Shang Xia heard this, he hurriedly went in with Huang Biao to visit Yu Hongmei.

Although the old man looked thin before, his whole spirit was not bad.

But at this time, he was lying on the bed, his face was sallow.

"Grandma, what do you think?"

Yu Hongmei moved her head to look at them, with a glint in her eyes.

"People are old and useless...... Are you here to find Shengsheng? Is it that he is not studying well in school again? ā€

The old man was about to get up as he said this, and Shang Xia hurriedly took a pillow for her to put behind him.

"No, he's very studious and smart."

Shang Xia said some words of concern in her mouth, asking her to recuperate, and then pulled Meng Shuisheng aside.

"Teacher Shang, I know what you want to ask. I...... I don't want to take the college entrance examination anymore, so it doesn't matter what the results are. ā€

In the last monthly exam, he didn't even do any questions.

Smack-

Huang Biao gave him a hard blow to the head, and the pain made him grin his teeth.

"Say what? Is the college entrance examination a joke!? ā€

Meng Shuisheng pursed his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes wandering.

"It's good no matter what, if you don't pass the exam, you just go out to work and make money."

As he spoke, there was a cry in the room.

Yun Yun was crying loudly for her mother.

He quickly turned around and ran in, picked Yun Yun out and coaxed him skillfully.

Shang Xia glanced at Huang Biao, "Have you seen his parents?" ā€

Huang Biao shook his head, "I also wonder, this old man is sick, and the child is also thrown at home, what is going on?" ā€

Meng Shuisheng turned his head and said: "My parents have gone out to work, and there are all the places at home that need to spend money, and they go out early and late every day before getting off work." ā€

"So you're usually taking care of your grandma and sister?"

Shang Xia finally grasped a line in a cloud of fog, and had a guess about the sudden drop in his grades.

"Hmmm......"

He replied with a little weakness.

Shang Xia's face changed color instantly, "Meng Shuisheng, to be honest, haven't you been to school at all for a while!?" ā€

His face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and his hands moved around uneasily.

"I ...... I went to the training class on the weekend, and it was the same whether I listened to the school class anyway......"

Shang Xia walked over and stretched out his hand to pick up Yun Yun, allowing Huang Biao to coax him temporarily.

"Why don't you go to school? The training course is just an adjunct, you won't be unaware. ā€

The third year of high school students didn't even go to school when they were about to take the college entrance examination, which even she couldn't believe it.

"I ...... Anyway, I didn't learn much in school before...... Isn't it okay to just go to the training class......"

"You're still lying?"

Meng Shuisheng swallowed his saliva and looked at the ground behind Shang Xia.

"Mom and Dad work hard, and I don't want my sister to disturb them...... So I took care of ...... at night."

He didn't say it coherently, but he finally made Shang Xia understand the whole story.

It turned out that because his parents worked on construction sites, he was worried because he sometimes had to go up to the elevated highway or carry bulky things.

And Yun Yun is too young, and he often cries at night, which seriously affects the rest of his parents.

The two of them who didn't have a good rest almost hit something and were injured while working, so Yun Yun was put in his room to sleep with him.

"Meng Shuisheng, I know you love your parents very much, but their work can't change for a while, and you, you're going to take the college entrance examination in more than two months, do you understand?"

The person who couldn't sleep at night became him, so much so that he would fall asleep in class every day in class.

After being criticized by the teacher several times, he had some emotions in his heart.

In addition, Yu Hongmei suddenly fell ill, and no one could take care of Yunyun during the day, so he decided to go directly to class to help take care of his grandmother and sister at home.

"I know it all, but ...... I'm my brother, and these are the things I should do. ā€

When he spoke, he didn't dare to look directly at Shang Xia, and looked at Huang Biao evasively.

Shang Xia sighed slightly, "I hope you can start next week and have a good class, just like before." As for family matters, I'll talk to your parents.

Meng Shuisheng, now that you are an adult, you should be responsible for your future, not just make decisions casually. ā€

When Shang Xia and Huang Biao met Meng Shuisheng's parents, they were eating cold meals in their lunch boxes next to the construction site.

She felt a little sour in her heart, and asked Huang Biao to invite the two of them to the small restaurant next to her.

"Teacher Shang, how can this make you spend money."

The couple was a little embarrassed.

"I didn't even eat."

Shang Xia said with a smile, and then ordered a few stir-fried dishes.

"We came here for Meng Shuisheng's business, do you know his monthly exam results last month?"

Father Meng nodded, "He said that he didn't play well last time, and he wrote the answer in the wrong place, so he did poorly." ā€

In fact, he couldn't sleep well at night, so he couldn't listen to the lecture because he was groggy during the day. There are still two months to go before the college entrance examination, and his eating, sleeping and mood are very important.

Let's put it this way, in the past, his grades could have been admitted to a university, but if he continued like this, he might not even be able to get into college. ā€

She told the two of them as simply as possible how important this matter was to Meng Shuisheng.

The husband and wife looked at each other.

"We ......"

Looking at their spitting appearance, Shang Xia's face became even more ugly.

"Are you going to let him go out to work?"

As soon as the words came out, the couple's faces turned red.

"At home...... My mother is sick, it costs a lot of money, Yunyun also has to go to school, and the family also needs to buy a bigger house, otherwise it will be inconvenient for Yunyun to grow up in the future, so ......"

"yes, now we're making just enough money to live. It costs a lot of money for this kid to go to college......"

The people in front of him made Shang Xia feel very strange, especially Meng Shuisheng's mother.

Shang Xia still remembered that when he was watching the flag-raising in the big square, the mother was anxiously looking for him.

But now, this mother is saying that she wants her son to drop out of school!

"It's useless to read as many books as you can...... In the end, you don't want to work for someone else? It's better to come out early to work and make money, so that you have more experience than others. ā€

She said.

At this time, there was not much guilt on her face, and Father Meng's face was still heavy.

He wants his children to go to school well, at least when they go to work, they won't work as hard as he does.

But the situation at home really didn't allow it, and his wife kept talking about the other two college students on the construction site, saying that they didn't earn as much as they did, so he ......

"Would he do too?"

Shang Xia asked in a deep voice.

If Meng Shuisheng herself was willing to do that, she would have no reason to meddle at all.

Because this matter has become a complete family matter, and it is the kind you and I want.

"What? He's ...... He would have agreed. He was a good boy, he was always very filial, and he was good to his grandmother. And didn't he like to read before?

That's just right. By the way, Mr. Shang, if Shengsheng doesn't go to your class, how much money can you refund? Yunyun needs to pay money to go to the primary school here. ā€

Shang Xia looked at her and indeed saw a mother who loved her child very much.

However, it is not Meng Shuisheng who she loves.

Because she has not raised Meng Shuisheng, her feelings for him are far inferior to those who get along day and night.

"Sorry, I'm already halfway through the course, so I can't get a refund. In order not to waste it, I suggest that Meng Shuisheng continue to come to class. ā€

There were many things she couldn't intervene in, and she didn't have the identity to question their decisions.

"That's right...... That's fine. Also, we didn't drop him out of school, but we don't have much money at home, and if he can't get into college, he will definitely not have the money to repeat his studies. ā€

Meng Shuisheng's mother explained that she was trying to prove to Shang Xia that she was a good mother, just like she had when she first met Shang Xia.

"yes, I know."

She will definitely let Meng Shuisheng be admitted to college!

Such a talent should not be wasted because of the estrangement between you and your parents!

Saying goodbye to Meng Shuisheng's parents, she went straight back to the hut.

"Meng Shuisheng, from today onwards, every afternoon before your parents come back, I will find someone to come over to help you with your homework, are you willing?"

Meng Shuisheng was holding his sister in one hand and looking at the medicine in the pot with the other, and his movements froze the moment her words fell.

He turned his head with some difficulty, and his eyes flashed with the same light as before Yu Hongmei.

"Really? I—I do! I want to go to college! "I want to talk about "Rebirth 1996" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
