It was midnight, the city was asleep, and the streets were empty. Under the dim street lights, Bai Xiaoding walked alone along the sidewalk, he was slightly hunched back, looking so thin and thin, as if something very heavy was pressing on his shoulders, hunching his back and bending his waist. He had been walking like this for a long time, but he didn't feel tired, and his legs seemed numb.

“…… Ding Ding is about to repeat his studies, in addition to tuition, maybe he will have to make up for any subjects, this is all money, if he is admitted to Peking University in the next year, after four years, the miscellaneous will add up, at least 8 or 90,000 yuan, you say, if I don't prepare this money, can I get it steadily......"

Zhang Xiulan's words kept repeating in Bai Xiaoding's mind, he knew that the family's economic situation was not good, so he had always been very frugal and never spent money indiscriminately, in order to reduce the burden on his parents as much as possible. But he really didn't think deeply about the issue of money for college, and now this economic account is clearly laid out in front of him, which makes him dumbfounded and at a loss. It turned out that in order to save enough money for herself to go to college, my mother was reluctant to eat even a few pairs of Chinese medicine! What a cruel reality this is for Bai Xiaoding!

What to do? Bai Xiaoding walked all the way and thought all the way, pretending to be deaf and dumb? Let my parents, who have worked hard for many years, continue to dry up their blood and sweat for themselves? That's impossible, if that's the case, don't say that you are not worthy of being the son of Zhang Xiulan of Bai Changshan, you are not even a person......

It was already more than one o'clock in the morning when Xiao Ding got home, although he had told Zhang Xiulan to return late, but she still couldn't sleep well, so she came to the hall lightly and asked her son if he was hungry, and told him that there was food in the kitchen or something. The meticulous care from his mother made Xiao Ding feel a sour feeling at the base of his nose, and his eyes were red, but fortunately he didn't turn on the light for fear of mosquitoes, so Zhang Xiulan couldn't see that his expression was different and that there was a bruise on his chin. He promised while urging Zhang Xiulan to go to bed quickly, and saw her go back to the room, so he took off her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he returned to the room and lay down on the bed, Bai Xiaoding suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't feel sleepy, his eyes were wide open, and his thoughts were rolling like ocean waves.

Obviously, the current situation in the family is completely centered on him, formed around his study path, he is the initiator, Bai Xiaoding thought, since this is the case, then it is up to him to change all this. While he made up his mind, he also thought of a way to solve the problem, and it was the only way to do it.

But...... What about pies? What did she do? What about their agreement......

Thinking of Xiaopai, Bai Xiaoding's heart suddenly felt a pang, and the warm and beautiful clips of the past have been strung together into a movie in his mind at this moment, constantly playing......

In the classroom, he explained math problems to her, and she lowered her head and listened attentively, her hair was so soft, and her smile was so sweet......

On the way to school, she handed him a delicate cloth bag, he opened it and saw that there were two red apples and a box of chocolates, she peeled off a round chocolate and fed it to his mouth, it was intoxicating and sweet......

It was raining heavily, they were holding an umbrella together, he was afraid that she would get wet, so he tried to hold her side, and she was kind enough to stick to him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the wind and rain seemed to have turned into a rainbow......

Under the big locust tree, he put his arm around her shoulder, and his slightly closed eyes, long eyelashes, blushing cheeks, and soft lips made him unforgettable......

Bai Xiaoding got up and got out of bed, walked to the desk and lit the lamp and sat down, his eyes fell on a book in the small shelf, he pulled out the book, this Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was given to him by Xiaopai in the second semester of the second semester of high school, remembering the situation at that time, it was as clear as yesterday.

"Give! This book was suggested by my dad, and I just finished reading it and loved it! Pie handed the book to him with both hands, and he took it with both hands, looked at the cover and said happily, "Great! I've heard of this book for a long time and I've always wanted to read it! ”

"Well, look, tell me who you like the most when you're done."

"Good! So who do you like best? ”

"I like Sun Shaoping the most! He is smart and wise, he can continue to study and improve himself in such a difficult environment, and he has affection and intention, and dares to sacrifice at a critical time, which is really not easy! ”

"What you like, it will definitely be what I like......"

Xiao Ding slowly opened the title page of the book, and there was a line of small characters with a beautiful font: "In the most ordinary things, you can show the greatness of a person's personality - give it to Bai Xiaoding, Zhan Xiaopai." He rubbed his fingers with the words "Zhan Xiaopai", and two bean-sized tears quickly rolled down his face. He wiped away his tears with his hands, closed the book and put it back on the shelf, opened the drawer, took a "University Volunteer Filling Form" from inside, and then took out a pen from the pen holder, and wrote the words "Danbei College" in the first column of the "Filling Form" one by one. This is the decision that Bai Xiaoding has been thinking about all night, an extremely difficult choice.

"Xiaopai, I decided not to repeat it, so it's impossible to pay your appointment with Peking University, I know what it means to miss this appointment, so I don't expect to get your forgiveness, I don't even expect you to understand me one day, I just hope that everything will be fine with you in the future, I'm sorry!" Bai Xiaoding thought sadly, and tears unconsciously blindfolded him again......
