After entering the hut, Tian Xinmiao pulled the lamp rope that went down the wall along the edge of the kang and turned the lamp on.

Ruan Haoyan picked up the satchel on the kang and looked back at Tian Xinmiao, "Sister-in-law, I don't have a question today that I can't, you don't have to accompany me." ”

said so, but the reluctance in those eyes was so obvious.

Tian Xinmiao raised her hand and rubbed Ruan Haoyan's head affectionately, and said with a smile: "You go back first, what did your sister-in-law prepare for you?" ”

Hearing Tian Xinmiao's words, Ruan Haoyan hurriedly turned around expectantly, and saw a shelf made of wood on the small table, and the top was covered with a white cloth.

Ruan Haoyan twisted her satchel and sat on the square stool, and lay down to study the thing carefully.

What is the use of a light bulb on a wooden shelf?

"Haoyan, flip that switch and see how it goes?"

Hearing Tian Xinmiao's prompt, Ruan Haoyan found the black switch installed on the bottom panel of the shelf.

She placed the satchel on the table, and then pulled the switch with some excitement and some caution.

The light bulb clicked on, and the satchel on the table was clearly visible, but because of the obscuration of the white cloth, the eye could only dimly see the light bulb inside.

Ruan Haoyan looked back at Tian Xinmiao excitedly, then turned around and hurriedly took out the language book from the schoolbag, pushed the satchel to the side, and then opened the book.

Looking at the lines of text that were exceptionally clear tonight, Ruan Haoyan was a little reluctant to look away from the language book.

"Sister-in-law, when I was doing my homework at night, I had never seen it so clearly." Ruan Haoyan's voice was a little low, as if she had a strong heart.

Tian Xinmiao's hands were on the shoulders of Ruan Haoyan, who had not turned around, and she leaned down and leaned her head against Ruan Haoyan, "Haoyan, is there anything unhappy to tell your sister-in-law?" ”

Ruan Haoyan put down the language book and leaned into Tian Xinmiao's arms, "Sister-in-law, do you think Dad's legs will be good?" ”

The look on Tian Xinmiao's face couldn't help but be stunned, she only heard that Ruan Yongsheng broke his leg, and she didn't know the specific situation.

"Haoyan rest assured, Dad's leg will be fine." Although Tian Xinmiao tried his best to make what he said credible, after all, he had no bottom in his heart, so he was not so resolute in what he said.

Ruan Haoyan slowly turned her head, "Sister-in-law, if my father's leg can't get better, I may not be able to go to school." ”

Tian Xinmiao moved Ruan Haoyan and made her face herself, "How could Haoyan have such an idea?" ”

"Sister-in-law, when my father's leg was good, there were 100-watt light bulbs in my house and my second brother's house, but then my father's leg was injured, and there was no one to make money in the family, so my mother asked my eldest brother to replace the light bulb with a 40-watt one."

Ruan Haoyan spoke gloomily, and her eyes gradually became crystalline.

"I couldn't see clearly when I was writing my homework, but I didn't dare to say it, so I had to make do."

Ruan Haoyan paused in her tone and continued: "When I went to junior high school, I had to pay more than ten to twenty yuan for tuition every semester, and I had to pay fifty yuan for living in school for one semester. ”

"In that case, why did your eldest brother still go to the army?" When Tian Xinmiao understood, he had already unconsciously asked the question in his heart.

"The eldest brother was decided to be a soldier before my father's leg was injured, and the village chief said that if the eldest brother was conscripted into the army, the second brother and I would have a chance to reduce the score and be admitted when I took the primary secondary school examination, so the eldest brother agreed."
