Chapter 61: Xiao Gang's Cry!
"Of course, you can live on campus, as long as you study hard and get a good score, that is the best explanation for your family." I smiled.
"Great, I'm going to talk to my parents!" Xiao Gang was overjoyed.
"No, I can't say it yet!" I grabbed Xiao Gang.
Now I can't let Xiao Gang go to my uncle and my aunt, now there are relatives at home, you must know that my uncle is a person who wants to save face, he reports good news in front of relatives and friends, he hides it from us, he must have his reasons.
"Why?" Xiao Gang was puzzled.
"Xiao Gang, there are fewer people at night, I told your father, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, is it okay?" I said.
"Uh-huh." Xiao Gang nodded thoughtfully.
I smiled when I saw that Xiaogang agreed, and we talked about some other topics.
It was almost noon time to eat, and everyone gathered together, which was extremely lively.
Considering that I came by car, I didn't drink, and my parents and aunt's family congratulated my brother-in-law on giving birth to a good son, and everyone drank very happily.
After lunch, everyone drank tea and chatted in the living room, and I was also talked about.
My brother-in-law's family and aunt's family, they all said that my parents had trained me, and it would be good if Xiaogang was admitted to university like me and bought a house in the city in the future.
These words sounded like a compliment to me, but I knew in my heart that I was not doing that well, because I was divorced, but everyone didn't know about it.
At dinner in the evening, my father and brother-in-law drank a little more, and my aunt's family said that they lived far away and needed to go back early, so they ate and left first.
All of a sudden, we're left with two of us.
"Xiao Nan, it's rare for you to come back, you, you can't drink when you drive, it's not fun, uncle, my house is small, otherwise, you can drink some wine and stay fine." My uncle handed me and my dad a cigarette and said with a smile.
In the evening, my father and brother-in-law drank a lot of wine, and their faces were flushed, while my mother and aunt, who had finished eating, were smiling on the side of the melon seeds.
Glancing meaningfully at my uncle, I opened the conversation.
"By the way, uncle, I came back this time and heard that the shoe factory had closed down." I spoke.
"Huh? The shoe factory went out of business? How did we not know? My mother was stunned.
My parents rarely go out to the countryside, and how do they know if the shoe factory has closed down, but my uncle works in the shoe factory, and he knows best.
"Don't you have a job now?" My dad asked busily.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I really haven't had a job recently, but I'll look for a job." There was a twitch on his uncle's face, and he smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, what are you talking about, our family is fine, Xiao Nan, you eat quickly, is this soup cold, my aunt will heat it up for you." As the little aunt spoke, she hurriedly picked up a bowl of soup.
Looking at my aunt's actions, of course I knew that they didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, maybe they felt disgraced, but I knew that my uncle's family was really in trouble now.
"Uncle, aunt, I am just going to study in the city, and the tuition and food expenses are a lot, if you are tight, I will pay the tuition in advance, anyway, uncle, you don't have a job for the time being, get through this period of time first." I continued.
"Isn't the tuition enough, brother?" My mom looked at my uncle.
Uncle's face began to twitch, and Aunt Xiao froze in place with a bowl of soup.
"Xiao Gang, did you tell your brother!" The uncle's eyes widened.
"Dad, I--" Xiao Gang looked at me anxiously.
"Uncle, don't yell at Xiaogang, Xiaogang didn't tell the truth, the shoe factory went bankrupt, I think you will definitely be implicated, just now my aunt's family is here, and I'm embarrassed to ask, but now we are two families, we have no secrets, I used to buy a house, uncle, didn't you help me?" You give me a bank card number, and I'll transfer 30,000 yuan to your card number, anyway, you are holding on to it now, and I am not in a hurry with this money, when will you slow down, uncle, it will not be too late to pay it back, our family does not speak two words. I hurriedly spoke.
After Xiaogang told me about this, I didn't tell my parents, and my parents didn't know, now I want to have dinner, and our family is leaving, before that, I still did it.
"It must be you kid, you told your brother, right? You get on my knees! The uncle slapped the table angrily.
Bang!
There was a loud bang at the dining table, and Xiao Gang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.
"Child, mother, what are you doing, why are you yelling at the child!" The little aunt hurriedly put down the soup bowl and held Xiao Gang.
"Xiaogang, Dad told you, I told you that living in school is expensive, day school will be much cheaper, Dad has no money, you bear with it first, you also promised Dad, but now, you still have to trouble your brother, you said you should not fight, manly husband, a spit and a pit, how can you go back on your word!" The uncle shouted angrily and was about to the flat shoulder in the corner.
"Dad, I promised you, I know it's not easy for you and Mom, and I also know that the tuition fee for living in school is very expensive, but Dad, I didn't know it would be so far, I rode to the city the day before yesterday to run a round trip, I have ridden very fast, but a round trip, it takes five hours, it takes five hours, Dad!" Xiao Gang burst into tears, just raised his head like this, and looked at his uncle like this.
"You!" The uncle's face was ugly.
"School is going to do morning exercises at seven o'clock, I want to go out, at least four and a half in the morning to get up, and then the school is out at half past five, I go home at eight o'clock in the evening, if I study until twelve o'clock at night, I can only sleep at home for more than four hours to get up, Dad, I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid that because of this, my studies can't keep up, I asked my classmates, the students of Taicheng Experimental Middle School are very good at learning, I don't want to fall behind, I really don't want to fall behind!" Xiao Gang said crying.
"Dad, the child was in junior high school in the county before, and he rode back and forth every day for the past three years, and it took more than an hour to go to the county seat. The little aunt had tears in her eyes and hugged Xiao Gang tightly.
"Dad, I just want to have more time to study, I promised you, I said that I would be admitted to university, I will buy a big house for my family in the future, so that you and your mother can enjoy happiness, you can be the same as my cousin, I can get ahead, today I just couldn't help it, I told my brother about it, I think my brother has the ability to help our family, my brother is his own person." Xiao Gang wiped his tears and continued.
"Don't talk about the child, don't talk about it, it's the parents who don't have the ability, let you study a book and worry about the tuition! Woooooo The little aunt suddenly couldn't cry.
"I'm still a fucking daddy, I'm a bastard!" The uncle suddenly hung his chest hard, and then faced his face with two big mouths.
Smack!
These two slaps caught me off guard, which made my face change.
"Brother, what are you doing, you!" My mom hurriedly grabbed my brother-in-law's arm.
"I'm sorry Xiaogang, I'm sorry for my daughter-in-law, I'm not a man, I can't let you live a good life!" The uncle trembled, and tears flowed out.
