One afternoon, after Sun Chaohua finished self-study, he packed up his desk and prepared to go home.

When I got out of the classroom, I saw my younger brother Sun Chaoqun and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you go home?"

He said he had been waiting for his brother to go home together.

Sun Chaohua belongs to the graduating class, and has one more self-study class every afternoon than other grades.

"What are you waiting for me to do, don't you know how to go home?" Sun Chaohua asked angrily.

This good brother, because he and his uncle and son were fighting to drink an extra bowl of mash, caused his father to be beaten, Sun Chaohua still remembers it vividly------

After the separation, he still has bad habits, and often eats more and takes advantage of a little bit of things with his little sister, which makes his little sister always complain, and her mother is very angry, complaining that her father instigates her, and often quarrels about it.

Every time Sun Chaohua saw his parents angry with him, he persuaded him with good words, and sometimes he did feel that his younger brother was too much, so he couldn't help but scare him twice, so he trained him. For this reason, the two brothers have always been unsociable, and they go their own ways to school.

Today, seeing his younger brother kindly waiting for him to go home, an ominous omen came to his mind, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Are you causing trouble again", Sun Chaohua looked at his brother's unnatural expression.

"There's nothing, it's just—it's just ------", the younger brother looked at his majestic gaze, and didn't dare to say it, Sun Chaohua thought to himself, it must not be a trivial matter, otherwise, the younger brother would not be so scared today.

"What the hell is going on, swallowing and spitting, where is the usual arrogance?" Sun Chaohua asked angrily.

"I got into trouble and broke my classmate's harmonica, and they want to ask our parents for compensation", the younger brother told the truth with trepidation.

"Then you pay for others?" , Sun Chaohua said angrily.

"People said they would bring their parents to our house tomorrow, and I was afraid that my mother would beat me, but what should I do?" , Sun Chaoqun really realized the seriousness of the situation, and continued in a low voice, "People say that the harmonica was bought by my parents for 20 yuan?" ”

"Twenty yuan, you are really good at evil, you know that our family's equal share of the production team at the end of the year is less than 60 yuan, I think you can explain to your parents?" Sun Chaohua was counting and thinking about how to solve his brother's current dilemma.

"Good brother, please, you can help me, tell your parents first, it's best not to let people come to our house, let your parents know, I'm really miserable!" The younger brother begged.

Looking at the usual appearance, now that things are coming, I am afraid of such an embarrassment, Sun Chaohua said, "I'll try to talk to people first, and see what they mean." ”

Sun Chaohua asked his younger brother if he knew about his classmates, and his younger brother said that other families were waiting outside the school.

"Okay, you find your classmates, let's go to other people's parents and talk about it together." Sun Chaohua knew that no matter how much he scolded, it would be useless, after all, the disaster had already fallen, and the important thing was how to tell his parents about it.

When he arrived at his classmate's house, Sun Chaohua led his younger brother to explain his intentions, apologized to others one by one, and begged his classmates' parents for forgiveness.

"The harmonica was bought by his father in Xi'an City, twenty yuan, now you see, the harmonica has become two halves, and it can't be repaired, what do you say?" The classmate's mother asked directly.

Sun Chaohua didn't think about how to reply, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, what do you mean?" ”

The classmate's mother thought for a while and replied, "If you want me to say, the mouth fee is 20 yuan, and the round-trip taxi fee must be at least 22 yuan."

Hearing the bottom-line price loss of the classmate's mother, Sun Chaohua thought about it and replied, "Auntie is not bad at all, it is completely reasonable, but there is one thing you need to consider?" Sun Chaohua paused, observing her expression, and slowly continued his reasoning, "Auntie." You see, this harmonica seems to have been used for a few years, and it is a little old, can it be less? ”。

"What you said is true, but now the price has also increased?" The classmate's mother's answer was not leaky.

Sun Chaohua felt that the answer was impeccable, and he was thinking about how to bargain and lose as little as possible, when he was thinking, he heard a familiar voice, "Mother, is my second father back?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Mihua walked into the door, and the two of them looked at each other, both of them were surprised, and asked at the same time, "Why are you here?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to say," Sun Chaohua explained the reason and explained the cause and effect of the incident.

"So that's the case," Wei Mihua didn't expect to encounter such a nonsense here.

In order to eliminate the embarrassing predicament, he pondered for a while, pointed to Sun Chaohua, and introduced to the classmate's mother, "Mother, this is my classmate Sun Chaohua, we all live in school to review our homework, and we are top students. ”

"Oh, so you're classmates." , Seeing that Wei Mihua and Sun Chaohua were very familiar, the classmate's mother thought, "Forget it, don't ask for more, why don't you sell your favor, just ask for the original price and not suffer a loss."

The classmate's mother pondered for a while, and immediately changed her amiable appearance and said, "This classmate," "It's called Sun Chaohua." Wei Mihua reminded.

"Ao, classmate Sun, since you and Mi Hua are classmates, and you think you are kind and reasonable, just follow your meaning, after all, the harmonica is old, give a discount, you give 15 yuan, they are all from the same village, look down and don't look up."

"Just do what Auntie wants," Sun Chaohua felt that Auntie was already extra kind, and readily agreed.

"But, Auntie, I don't have any money with me now, go back and talk to my family, and I'll send it to you another day."

"No need, since you are classmates, I believe that you can let Mi Hua bring it back, you are nervous about your homework, don't bother."

Seeing that his aunt was so considerate, Sun Chaohua was very moved and thanked him repeatedly.

"I'll send you out!", Wei Mihua sent Sun Chaohua and them out of the door and said, "I still have some things to do with my mother, so I won't send them away, so don't leave it at that!" ”

After seeing Sun Chaohua leave, Wei Mihua returned to his mother.

On the way home, Sun Chaohua thought about how to make up the harmonica compensation for others, and thought in his heart, "Parents must not be able to say, the tuition fees of the four sisters for one year are all scraped together by their parents, if the truth is revealed, then it is not the life of the parents?" ”

Sun Chaoqun saw that his brother bowed his head and was silent, his heart was furious, and he didn't dare to make a sound, but he just followed Sun Chaohua and moved slowly and quietly, and he was very afraid that his brother would tell his parents.

Walking to the door of the house, Sun Chaoqun took his brother's hand and asked, "Do you want to tell your parents?" Seeing that his younger brother was very timid, Sun Chaohua comforted, "Don't tell me for the time being, right?" ”

"Then why do you pay for other people's money?" Sun Chaoqun asked cautiously, for fear that his brother would be angry and complain about him.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have everything." Brother's affirmation made Sun Chaoqun's uneasy heart let go, with tears in his eyes and gratitude.

"Chaoqun, you remember, don't grab good things from your sister in the future, you have to learn to be humble."

"Brother, I promise you, I will do what I say." , Sun Chaoqun patted his chest and raised his hand to swear.

"Don't swear by you, watch you act." Sun Chaohua put down his brother's hand and said, "Now you can go home with peace of mind." ”

The younger brother immediately disappeared with a smile on his face, but Sun Chaoqun was not happy.
