The sister-in-law of the Yang family was a little confused when she heard it.

She understood Lin Nianhe's words, the meaning of helping each other, but she felt that something was wrong, and it felt weird.

Sister-in-law Yang didn't understand what was wrong, but she knew-

"No, I can't let you take the money."

Sister-in-law Yang frowned, serious and stubborn.

Lin Nianhe: "......"

She plays the emotional card so confidently, but she still can't give out the money......

If there is divine help in the things that pit people, they can do it with their eyes closed; wanted to do something good, but even the parties rejected her.

It's hard to be a good person!

Lin Nianhe looked at He Aimin and asked for help with his eyes.

He Aimin looked down at the ground and refused to receive the signal.

This Lord, He Aimin did not dare to do, and could not do it.

This is not a jujube, it is a real twenty big unity.

Sister-in-law Yang looked down at the two eggs in her hand, bit her lip, and still stuffed the eggs into Lin Nianhe's hand.

She said: "There is really nothing else at home, Mr. Lin, don't dislike it...... What's that, you can still eat after washing......"

Lin Nianhe held the egg, and his smile was a little bitter: "I didn't help anything, so I didn't dare to accept it." ”

"No, no," Sister-in-law Yang shook her head again and again, "Wait for the future, when I save enough money, I will buy it for my son...... I'll have to look for you then. ”

She bit her lip, and blood oozed from her lip flap.

But as if she didn't feel the pain, she still tried hard to raise the corners of her mouth.

It's just those eyes, full of despair.

When will she be able to save enough money to buy a hearing aid for her son?

Her family's twenty yuan of emptied family funds has been saved for a year and a half.

Do you have to wait until 15 years later to buy hearing aids for your son? At that time, will it be more expensive? Will they still not be able to afford it?

Sister-in-law Yang didn't dare to think about it.

She felt that there was a big mountain pressing on her, and every stone on the mountain was densely written with the word "poor", so that she could hardly breathe.

That's when Yang Daniu came back.

His mouth was still grinning, and his rough palm held He Aimin's pen.

"Captain, give you a pen." Yang Daniu's forehead was sweaty, and he said happily, "You can write it!" ”

He Aimin took the pen, but did not move.

Yang Daniu scratched his scalp and suddenly became a little nervous: "What's wrong?" Don't sell it? Or did you let someone else buy it? ”

His voice unconsciously rose a little higher, staring at Lin Nianhe's face, his voice was shaking.

Sister-in-law Yang pulled down the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Big cow...... That hearing aid, in fact, costs 200 yuan......"

"What?"

Yang Daniu rubbed his ears vigorously, "What are you talking about?" ”

When her husband returned to her, Sister-in-law Yang's tears finally fell happily, she covered her face and squatted down, hugged her shoulders and cried bitterly.

Yang Daniu was flustered by her crying, and asked one after another: "What are you crying about?" You can tell me what to say! Isn't it twenty dollars? Why did the price increase as soon as you turned around? ”

Sister-in-law Yang cried so much that she couldn't speak, she buried her face in the crook of her arm, trembling, and crying.

Yang Daniu was so anxious that beads of sweat fell down his forehead.

He Aimin sighed, stepped forward, and said to Yang Daniu: "Teacher Lin saw that your family couldn't come up with the money, so he told you that he would ask for twenty yuan, but in fact, he had to ask for two hundred ...... She said that she can borrow money from you, borrow or not, buy or not, you two discuss. ”

Yang Daniu was dumbfounded.

He froze in place, his eyes gradually empty.

Lin Nianhe looked at the despair in his eyes that was exactly the same as that of Sister-in-law Yang, cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Yang, I don't lack this money, I originally wanted to hide it from you directly, but unfortunately my sister-in-law heard it...... I am willing to lend you money, you can pay it back slowly, I am not in a hurry. ”

Yang Daniu's lips twitched, and he muttered out a sentence after a while: "How can this be so expensive......

Lin Nianhe glanced at the time, there were still forty minutes before class.

She said: "Comrade Yang, nothing is more important than the child, if you wait until more than ten years later to let the child hear it, the impact on him will be irreparable, so ......"

Yang Da Niu snorted, his eyes were red, and he buried his face in his palm.

"I can't borrow, I can't afford to use it...... I can't afford it......"

He slowly squatted down, covering his face in despair.

"That's fate......"

"I confessed ......"

Such a tall man, in the end, was still crushed by reality.

"Alas......"

When Lin Nianhe got on his bicycle and was about to leave the Jiuli Brigade, he could still hear He Aimin's sigh.

She suddenly stopped the car, turned around and asked He Aimin: "Uncle He, where is the Yang family?" ”

"Huh? What is this for, you ask? He Aimin was a little puzzled.

"I want to see Yang Yumin, I haven't seen this kid yet." Lin Nianhe replied.

He Aimin looked at her for a while, and after a moment of silence, he showed her the way.

The Yang family is not far from the He family, two earthen houses, and the yard is very clean.

Yang Yumin sat on a small bench, holding a branch and drawing something on the ground.

He was the only one in the family, and Yang Daniu and Yang Sister-in-law only cried for a while after they collapsed, so they wiped away their tears and went to work.

They still have to support their families and don't have much time to grieve.

Lin Nianhe didn't enter the door, but just looked at Yang Yumin through the fence.

The little one was thin, and his little face was not as dark as the country boy who was always running outside, but with a sickly paleness. The branch in his hand was so thin that it seemed that he would not be able to hold it any thicker.

The clothes on his body should have been changed from Yang Daniu's gown, and they were polished and shiny in many places.

Yang Yumin suddenly stopped his hand, turned his head to look at the door, and saw Lin Nianhe.

He tilted his head to look at Lin Nianhe, threw away the branch after a while, and ran back to the house on his feet.

Lin Nianhe closed his eyes and forced himself to turn around, intending to leave first.

Just as she was about to step on the bike, Yang Yumin came out again.

He didn't run this time, he walked very slowly. He held a bowl of water in his hand and slowly moved to the door.

He handed the bowl to Lin Nianhe, looking at her with big black and white eyes, as if to say: You drink.

He regarded her as a passer-by begging for water.

Lin Nianhe slowly stretched out his hand and took the bowl of water.

Yang Yumin tilted his head, looked at her, and grinned.

Lin Nianhe lowered his eyes and saw his own reflection on the water.

She pursed her lips, met Yang Yumin's expectant eyes, and drank the water.

Yang Yumin smiled even sweeter, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the bowl, and then to the water tank.

Lin Nianhe shook his head lightly and handed the bowl back to him.

Yang Yumin took the bowl, took a few steps back, and when he turned around and saw that Lin Nianhe was still there, he turned around and tilted his head to look at her, spreading confusion.

Lin Nianhe looked at him, thought of Niu Wa, thought of Bai Xiaojun, and thought of many children in the village.

Yang Yumin looks just like them.

But if he couldn't hear it, he would soon be different from them.

Lin Nianhe licked his lips, and the sweetness of the well water was still lingering between his lips and teeth.

"The grace of a drop of water is repaid by a spring."

"These countless drops of water, if I don't give you a beautiful world, I feel like a liar."
