"It's almost the New Year, what do you say to celebrate the New Year! Now you go out to play mahjong in addition to drinking, I was really blind at the beginning, marrying such a useless thing as you. Li Lihua threw the pots and pans in the kitchen to the ground and yelled at Zhang Guoqiang.

"Mother, what are you doing?" As soon as Zhang Ran came home from playing basketball, he saw that his home was in a mess.

"It's not your uncompetitive father! If you don't fight for yourself, forget it, it will affect our mothers and sisters. Li Lihua rolled her eyes and sat on the ground panting, a typical rural shrew.

"Look at you like this. Our mother has been driven away by you, what do you want, do you want to drive me away? Zhang Guoqiang's face was flushed with anger, he stomped his foot and slammed the door, and went out angrily.

"Xiaorong, look at your father, you can't earn money, you won't be happy to say a few words, you can't live this day!" Zhang Rong put down the ball, picked up the broom to clean up all the debris on the ground, and helped Li Lihua up.

"Mother, look at the situation in our family, it's really getting worse and worse." Zhang Rong unbuttoned his coat and put it on the sofa.

"I finished playing at school today, passing by the restaurant of my second uncle and second aunt, my grandparents were busy there, and I heard from the people around me that their family had just bought a big house, and my grandparents are now living in his house, and now it is almost the New Year, and there are still many people who go to my second uncle's place to eat."

Li Lihua was surprised when she heard the news, good guy, they even bought a house, they still saved half a lifetime of money and money from Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang to buy this house, this Sun Cuihua is really capable, just opened a restaurant for such a short time, just bought a house, look at now that he doesn't even have a fixed income every month, thinking of this Li Lihua gritted her teeth and creaked.

"Why is Sun Cuihua's life so good, my life is like this."

"So, mother, you say, if we live with them as before, and then slowly ask for their restaurant, won't the money earned by the restaurant be ours? When the time comes, I don't think my grandparents will say anything. Zhang Rong thought that if he had so much money, he would be like the rich classmates in the class, and he could go to the game hall and the bar at will every day, and he would be happy.

Since going to college, he found that there are many places he has not seen, a few days ago, he took out the pocket money he had been saving and went out with a few rich classmates in the class, the lights were bright, the neon lights flashed, Zhang Rong immediately liked it as soon as he entered, there seemed to be a huge temptation in it, and the feeling of that day has been lingering in Zhang Rong's mind. He always wanted to go again, to experience that crazy feeling again.

"However, the Zhang Xin of their family now, now seeing our family, is like seeing an enemy, let alone letting us go and live in his house."

Li Lihua heard Zhang Rong's proposal, she was a little worried, she lived in this city, and occasionally met, but every time she met her, Zhang Xin's hatred for her made her slightly afraid.

"How do you know if you don't try, besides, there are grandparents here, we can talk about them, they should agree to let us live in as soon as their hearts soften." Zhang Rong saw that Li Lihua was still a little hesitant, so he continued to instigate.

"Mother, don't forget, no matter how unhappy their family was with the second uncle's job back then, didn't they give that job to my father in the same way? So, mother, as long as you say good things, grandparents will definitely speak to us. ”

"Okay, I'll try." Now the situation of his family can only do this.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Sun Cuihua pasted a red couplet on the door of the restaurant early, Wishing you prosperity and the four big characters of gold and brightness were happy when they looked at it. Sun Cuihua closed the restaurant early and returned home to be busy with Mrs. Zhang for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Old man Zhang and Zhang Guowei turned on the TV outside and played poker, stewed chicken, stewed fish, and made dumplings.

Zhang Xin took Zhang Ran to Lin Mei's house, Lin Mei and Zhang Ran are three years apart, since she learned about Lin Mei from Zhang Xin's mouth that day, Zhang Ran has been making trouble and wants Zhang Xin to take her to meet Lin Mei and Lin Shuang sisters.

Last night, Zhang Xin told Zhang Ran that he wanted to go to Lin Mei's house tomorrow, and wanted to ask Zhang Ran if he wanted to go with him, Zhang Ran hurriedly agreed, and packed his clothes and shoes in the house, as well as a few books he had read before, and stuffed a schoolbag.

Zhang Xin saw Zhang Ran's care for Sister Lin Mei, and felt that Zhang Ran also felt as if she had experienced the hardships of the previous life, and took special care of people who had the same experience as her.

She took Zhang Ran to the alley where Lin Mei was sent that day, the situation of their family is very special, they should find it as soon as they look for it, Zhang Xin thought to herself.

She went to the house at the end of the alley, knocked on the door, and said hello politely.

"Hello, do you know where Lin Mei and Lin Shuang live there?"

An old lady in the yard was scooping water in the water tank, and when she heard Zhang Xin's inquiry, she stopped what she was doing.

"You said Xiaomei and Xiaoshuang and their sisters, I know, they live in the makeshift plastic shed behind the alley, alas, you said that these two children are really hard, the day before yesterday her father just died, the family had no money for funerals, so they were hastily cremated and buried in the open space behind the mountain.

When the old lady heard Zhang Xin mention Lin Mei, she thought of the two hard-working children and sighed.

"Her dad is dead? Doesn't it mean just paralysis? How could he die? Zhang Xin was a little surprised when she heard the news, she remembered that Lin Mei had mentioned it to her before, saying that her father was just paralyzed, why did he die in a few days.

"Suicide, it must be that my mother-in-law who feels sorry for me is too hard, and I don't want their mother-in-law to suffer, so I touched the medicine on the table at night and swallowed it all in one go. When I found it in the morning, my body was hard. Alas, there is no sin even if you die. The old lady clasped her hands together and muttered a few words that Zhang Xin didn't understand.

"Okay, then you get busy first, let's go first." After speaking, Zhang Xin dragged Zhang Ran out of the courtyard and hurriedly walked into the alley.

They lost their father, which made Zhang Ran suddenly remember the encounter with the flood in the previous life, like, it is really too similar, they are too similar to the experience of Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran in the previous life, when she thinks of Lin Mei's lovely face, Zhang Xin's heart is not a taste, she secretly swears that she wants to change Lin Mei's fate, she must not let the things of the previous life happen to her side again!

Walking down the alley, Zhang Xin saw a simple hut made of coarse wood and plastic sheeting, the roof was full of snow that had just fallen a few days ago, and the house was crumbling, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Zhang Xin saw a small figure busy in the house, so she called tentatively.

"Lin Mei, Lin Shuang."

The people in the room heard the shouting and hesitated for a while, and Zhang Xin shouted again.

The voice ran out quickly and threw itself into Zhang Xin's arms.

"Little sister, little sister, why are you here, do you know, my dad is gone, woo woo woo." Seeing Zhang Xin, the villain in his arms cried with grief, as if he had lost his whole hope.

"I know, my sister knows." Zhang Xinqiang held back his tears and hugged Lin Mei tightly, wanting to give her as much warmth as possible.

"Let's go in first, it's cold outside." Zhang Ran saw that Lin Mei was wearing thin, so he opened his schoolbag and put a thick coat on Lin Mei's shoulder.

Lin Mei felt a burst of warmth on her shoulders, and raised her head from Zhang Xin's arms to look at her.

"Oh, let me introduce, this is my sister, her name is Zhang Ran, Xiao Ran, this is the Lin Mei I told you."

"Hey." Zhang Ran generously said hello to Lin Mei. Lin Mei smiled at her, "Come in, Xiaoshuang and my mother are in the house." Lin Mei hurriedly beckoned Zhang Mei and Zhang Shuang into the house.
