Chapter 49: Yearning

Zhao Hui looked at the back of the girl walking in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of soft light.

His family is now running out of food, and the last few times he came home, his father and mother always kept sighing, saying that there was no food at home, and there was no strength to be hungry.

But Zhao Hui has been hungry, and he knows what it is like to speak when he is really hungry and has no strength, although his father and mother are weak on the surface when they talk to him, they are very confident, and they are clearly lying to him.

At that moment, somehow, he didn't feel the anger of being deceived in his heart, but was inexplicably unusually calm.

He could even hear himself say to them in a calm tone that he had never felt before: "If you are hungry, go dig wild vegetables, and now that there are many wild vegetables in the field, you will not be hungry if you dig some wild vegetables to eat." ”

Zhao Hui didn't know what was wrong with him, he was like a bystander, he clearly saw through his father's hypocritical performance, but he didn't seem to be able to arouse the slightest emotion.

On the contrary, it is these people in the Fang family, every one of them, he is willing to approach, and they all want to be close, especially this bright little girl who always smiles every time she sees him.

After eating, Zhao Hui rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks as usual, and then happily waited for the family to go out.

Shen Yusleeve and Shen Yulin went to the house to carry their schoolbags to school, Grandma Fang went to pick up the children step by step, and Fang Youshun went to see the sweet potato seedlings for himself, and he followed the family out, feeling as if he was also a member of the family.

But in fact, he is also very busy every day, he has to take care of the sweet potato seedlings he grows, and he has to dig wild vegetables every day, and then dry them and put them in the ground nest that he has simply built in the reeds.

He was really hungry and afraid, even if there was no shortage of wild vegetables in the field now, and he would be panicked if he didn't save some food for a day.

But today, he was not in a hurry to go to the river to work like never before, but followed behind Shen Yulin's brothers and sisters slowly, until he watched Shen Yulin see a child running away, leaving Shen Yusleeve alone, and immediately took a few steps forward to walk side by side with her.

Shen Yusleeve looked at Zhao Hui, who suddenly walked with him, and asked him unexpectedly, "Aren't you busy today?" ”

"I'm not busy." Zhao Hui smiled shyly, and then asked her with some curiosity: "Is it okay to go to school?" ”

"It's very good, I can learn a lot of words, a lot of knowledge." Shen Yusleeve had long lost her rejection of going to school at the beginning, and after speaking, she turned around and asked Zhao Hui, who was walking beside her: "Do you want to go to school?" ”

Zhao Hui shook his head and whispered, "I don't have any money." ”

For his answer, Shen Yusleeve was not too surprised, and nodded very understandingly.

This year, she dropped out of school a few more times in her class, and it is normal for the little brother in front of her, who may not be able to eat enough, to have no money.

"Our teacher said that it's okay to go to school when you have saved enough money, there were still thirteen or fourteen-year-olds in the school who only entered the first grade, and you are not as old as those children now, so you are not in a hurry." Shen Yusleeve said softly, as if it wasn't a big deal.

Zhao Hui was originally very worried because he had no money, for fear that this little girl would look down on him, but she said this matter so lightly.

"What do you think...... Can I save money to go to school? Zhao Hui pretended not to care and looked at Shen Yusleeve sideways.

"Why not?" Shen Yusleeve smiled and showed his white teeth, and said with certainty: "My grandfather said that you are very good, and you can support yourself, so you must be able to save money to go to school?" ”

The sun was rising, and Zhao Hui looked at the little girl in front of him smiling in the sun, with red lips and white teeth, and suddenly felt that she seemed to be glowing.

Her eyes were clear and clear, without a trace of ridicule and hypocrisy, she looked at herself so seriously, as if to say: Yes, you are very good, you can do it.

Inexplicably, Zhao Hui felt that his chest was swollen, his eyes were hot, and he subconsciously hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

He is really not good, if it weren't for the sticky porridge and nest head that night given by this little girl that morning, he probably wouldn't know which corner he died in.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Yusleeve couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw that he suddenly lowered his head as if he had made a mistake.

"No, nothing." Zhao Hui hurriedly stabilized his messy emotions, smiled stiffly, and asked, "Then can I go to school with you to see what's going on?" ”

"What's wrong with that? You can see it if you want, go, I'll take you. Shen Yusleeve said, took his hand and strode forward.

Zhao Hui was suddenly grabbed by her hand, and felt that the whole person was stiff, but he hurriedly followed. She followed Shen Yusleeve into the school, listening to her chirp and introduce herself to the school's classes and classmates, until the teacher rang the class bell, she waved goodbye to him and flocked to a classroom with a group of children.

The schoolhouse, which was still chattering, suddenly became very quiet, and after a while, the sound of children reading came from several rooms, and they read so neatly and loudly, with a sense of vitality, which made people yearn for it.

Zhao Hui slowly walked out of the courtyard step by step, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He wants to go to school, he wants to go to school, although he has no money now, and there is no one to provide for him, but he can find a way to make money, try to save money, since this little girl believes in herself so much, then why not try?

Perhaps, maybe he worked hard and did it?

But thinking about it, Zhao Hui felt that he didn't know how to live or die.

From a few months ago to now, he has just stopped being hungry, how dare he think about going to school?

But since this idea is there, it can't be waved away.

Zhao Hui then decided on the fact that he wanted to go to school, and he must go to school, no matter how difficult it was.

He thought, no matter how difficult this thing is, it can't be harder than filling your stomach, right?

Shen Yusleeve never felt that her words were important to anyone, so naturally she didn't know that someone had a goal to strive for because of her words.

Now she just goes to and from school every day, plays with her classmates at school, and then goes home to do her homework, and her days are the same, and she doesn't notice any changes.

Since she had Heiguoguo last year, Shen Yusleeve is still quite popular in school, even if she doesn't take the initiative to find someone, someone has begun to take the initiative to come to her to play.

The only thing that made Shen Yusleeve dissatisfied was that the eldest brother, the second brother, including the eldest sister, none of them took a fancy to their black fruits, even if she took the initiative to share the black stone and asked them to get a pair of stone fruits, they didn't want it.

The second brother thinks that this is something that girls play with, and the eldest brother and eldest sister think that this is something that children play with, but the third brother who has grown up likes to play, but grandma doesn't let the third brother play, because this kid gets the fruit is not An'an's play, but in the yard to pick up chickens and smash chickens, always quacking those chickens and flying around, resulting in those chickens not laying eggs very much.

As a result, Shen Yu's incomparably rare stone fruit has now become her exclusive one, and the black stone she was going to share with her brothers and sisters was also placed on the windowsill by her alone, and only occasionally when she remembered it, she would take it in her hand and pamper it.
