Every time he thought about this, Xiaoyun had the idea of dropping out of school, and he also wanted to go to the sea with his brother to fish and subsidize the family, but his brother was sternly opposed.

"Xiaoyun, you are a smart child, my brother doesn't ask you to share anything for the family, I just hope you can be sensible."

"My brother is destined to be a fisherman in this life, you are different, you still have thousands of possibilities to go to the outside world, together with my brother's share, to see the prosperity of the world, to know and love a girl, and feel different beauty." The big hand was lightly placed on Xiaoyun's shoulder, and Shi Lei's eyes were faintly filled with Mars-like expectations and yearnings.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun had to suppress his words and nodded slightly.

In the face of the slanting sun, Xiaoyun sat at the stone table quietly previewing tomorrow's schoolwork, a poem in the book made his heart tremble, and his thoughts also swept through the grass with the wind, reincarnated in the past, and drifted into the distance.

Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Bandit retribution, always think it is good.

As always, Shi Lei went out to sea to fish as usual, facing the waves and the sunset.

What is different is that this time he rescued a young woman who fell into the sea.

The woman was knocked on the head by the reef and fell unconscious, so Shi Lei had to take her home to take care of her first. Due to the severity of her injuries, the woman's condition was not optimistic, she had a high fever, and she lay down for seven days. Looking at the girl in front of him who frowned for a while, stretched for a while, and kept talking nonsense, Shi Lei suspended going to sea, exchanged some herbs for torment with a small amount of surplus food, took it with a spoon, and took care of it. Xiao Yun saw that there was one more person in the family, and she was still a beautiful woman, her heart was happy, her eyes were like fireworks, thinking about something, and every time she got out of school, she sat around the bed, praying that she would get better soon.

The woman's head injury was too severe, and after waking up, she had a vague impression of what happened before, and she couldn't remember where she came from or where she was going, so she stayed temporarily, did some chores every day, and cleaned the small courtyard clean and tidy. The happiest person here is Xiaoyun, he sings and runs home quickly after school every day, and when he sees the busy figure, Fang Chang breathes a sigh of relief, strokes his chest and calms his heartbeat.

After a long time, the woman gradually developed a friendship with Shi Lei, and began to take care of Shi Lei's food, clothing and daily life, Shi Lei was not as dull as his name, and asked the woman's wishes at the moment, the woman bowed slightly, and said: Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Bandit retribution, always think it is good.

Although Shi Lei didn't understand the meaning, he saw that the other party's cheeks were slightly red, his eyebrows were smiling, and his heart was also cheerful, so he immediately asked a matchmaker to be a guarantor, found a neighborhood seat, and the two held a simple ceremony in the sound of everyone's blessings and tied the knot.

That day, Xiaoyun ran to the beach, facing the tide, loudly repeating the marriage words of Shi Lei and the woman to the clear sky, watching the tide rise and fall, standing for a long time, crying and laughing.

A year later, the woman gave birth to a girl, as delicate as a flower, as soft as a cloud, and named it Duoduo. The family of four is happy, Xiaoyun consciously takes on the responsibility of being an elder, always babbling and teaching Duoduo to speak, and there is often a smile in his eyes.

However, the clouds are easy to disperse, and they are short-lived.

When Duoduo was five years old, the woman proposed to send her to school, but the conditions at home could no longer support a child to study, Shi Lei stubbornly did not allow Xiaoyun to drop out of school, and only asked Xiaoyun to teach Duoduo to learn words and things after school.

At this point, the quarrel was endless, cracks were born in the originally happy family, and the relationship between the two gradually ran out in the dispute, and the days became more and more difficult.

"Little uncle, let's go to the beach to have fun, okay." An innocent face blocked Xiaoyun's vision, and Duoduo poked Xiaoyun's brow with a smile, "Don't frown, like the father of the black egg next door, it's ugly." ”

Xiaoyun smiled and nodded.

March is a good season.

The sea area near Wanshui Village is verdant and green all year round, looking from afar, the sky is connected to the sea, the sea is connected to the sky, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the heart is relaxed and happy.

Duoduo sat on the beach with the children of the village, piling up small houses, kittens, dogs, fish, birds, everything she had ever seen and had never seen could come to life in her young hands. The sun lazily sprinkled on Duoduo's body, with a warm halo, and the serious little face was covered with mud and sand, showing childlike fun.

How nice it would be to stay forever at such a beautiful and simple time.

"Little uncle, come and see what I wrote, right?" The flowers are calling to the little clouds vividly.

"That's how 'cloud' is written, right?"

"Hmm."

"The word 'daddy' is a bit complicated, right?"

"Yes."

"And 'Mother', and the 'Heaven', 'Earth', 'Bird', 'Fish' that you taught me... All right! The little hand grasped the branch and gestured excitedly.

"All right." Xiaoyun gently touched Duoduo's little head, "Duoduo is the smartest child I've ever seen." ”

The bright eyes were full of smiles, "Uncle Xiao taught well!" Uncle Xiao will definitely be able to be a good private school teacher in the future, and let the children come to listen to your lessons when the time comes. ”

"Okay."

In the evening, Xiaoyun pulled Duoduo on the way home, large and small footprints, deep and shallow, paving the way home.

"Your brother should also contribute to the family, such a big person is not a rich child, when will the book be read?"

"Wait a little longer, Fuyue Xiaoyun's schoolwork will be full the year after tomorrow. He... It's gifted. ”

"You're going to give him two more years? Don't you know what's going on at home, rations are all problems, how can there be spare money to support his studies! ”

"Don't be angry, I'll go out to find a job at the end of the year, there are many opportunities in the county, people there are particular about food, they have to eat fish every three or five days, rich people are touched with fish every day, believe me, life will be better."

"There are many officials and eunuchs in the prefecture and county, and even the roadside hawkers have a good relationship with the county government, how can you fight with people as a poor person..."

"I'll go and ask the neighbors for some rice and grain, don't be angry, Xiaoyun and they are coming back, and the child heard it badly."

"Little cloud, little cloud! You only have your oil bottle brother in your eyes, how can there be our mother, you see how thin Duoduo is, how can you have a little spirit, you haven't grown since you were three years old! If I knew this, I should have saved me in the first place, and I should have died in the sea for a hundred years, what hope is there for life to be like this! ”

"I'm sorry..."

One big and one small stood quietly in the courtyard, Xiaoyun's heavy bangs covering all the emotions in his eyes.

"Little uncle... Mother's mother is just a little tired, she doesn't hate you..."The hand holding Xiaoyun shook gently.

"Well, I understand, don't worry."

At night, Xiaoyun lay on the kang and couldn't sleep, he looked at the moon hanging high along the window railing, and there was a sound in his stomach.

"Don't sleep yet, are you hungry, I see you just secretly put the rice back in the pot." Shi Lei, who was lying on one side, said with concern, "Brother will warm you up now, eat and sleep well." ”

"Brother, I don't want to study anymore."

In the darkness, Shi Lei froze.

After a long time, he spoke, "It's going to end my course in more than a year, and it's a pity to give up now." Ah Chu's uncle has done something in Beijing, their family remembered that I saved Ah Chu a few years ago, as long as you pass the childhood test, they can trust the relationship to find a job for you, people take care of us so much, how can we give up easily. ”

"But..."

"Don't worry, okay, it'll be fine after next year. If you think this home is not easy, study hard, go out in the future to help this family, now fill your stomach first, and sleep steadily. ”

Xiaoyun still maintained the posture of looking out the window, tears flowing silently down the corners of his eyes.

The world is so big that it can make the little fanatics mix up and walk all over the world; The world is so big, but it makes it difficult for poor people to live in one place. An accident cast a haze on this already fragmented home.

"Little poor bastard, what's the use of you saying that no matter how good your handwriting is, my cousin said that people who can't enter the school are savages." Seeing that Duoduo didn't pay attention, the little boy was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and stepped on the branch she was holding in some anger. He was always compared to this girl by the elders of the family, saying that he was not as good as a child who had never gone to school after three years of school, and from time to time he had to let himself stand under the scorching sun with books on his head, and he hated her.

Duoduo looked up and glared at the boy, got up and picked up a branch again to continue practicing, ignoring it. The boy stepped forward angrily, "What are you angry about, you are as pouting as your uncle, what's the use of just dying to study, my family has a house and a field, and I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, even if you study for a lifetime, you can't change the life of a poor egg!" ”

"What did you say!" Duoduo threw down the branch and ran over to scuffle with the boy, but his strength was too weak and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"I said you shouldn't be a little mongrel, you see how good your father is to your uncle to let him study, let you be a wild man at home hungry, if you are not biological, how can you treat it like this, why don't you call me Daddy, I will provide you with education..." Oops, stop fighting..."

The shouting became smaller, Xiao Yun's fist on the boy did not stop at all, seeing that the boy rolled his eyes like a dead fish, Duo Duo hurriedly hugged Xiao Yun's arm tightly, "Little uncle, don't fight, if he fights again, he will die..."

"Xiaoyun, what are you doing, stop!" As soon as Shi Lei closed the net, he saw this scene and ran over eagerly.

The boy was beaten by Xiaoyun and lay on the kang for half a year, and the family blocked Shi Lei's door tightly with axes, shovel rakes, and pickaxes, and vowed to remove one of Xiaoyun's legs.
