The summer sun has a mouth, and its fangs and sharp mouth will bite.

Despite wearing long sleeves and a hat, Lin Su was sunburned. She raised her hand and touched the back of her neck, rubbing off a layer of dry shavings, which I don't know how many times she had been sunburned and peeled this summer.

There was no sunburn cream at home, and Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen would not buy it for her, so after she took a bath, she took out the aloe vera she cut from the back mountain, squeezed out the glue and wiped it on her neck and face.

The aloe vera gel was wet and sticky, and Lin Su was afraid that it would get on the pillow, and Sun Yufen would inevitably scold him when he saw it, so he sat against the wall, planning to wash it off after a while.

The night in the mountains was extremely quiet, and through a curtain, Lin Youwei had already fallen asleep, and Lin Su could hear the sound of grinding his teeth from time to time.

The earthen house is not soundproof, Lin Su leaned against the wall and heard the voices of Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen in the next room. Lin Yongtian said that Xu Yaen, the daughter of the head family, was admitted to Linyun No. 1 Middle School, and the day after tomorrow she would invite guests to dinner in the town's restaurant and hold a banquet for further education.

"Isn't it just a high school, and it's not a college admission, such a big battle?" Sun Yufen said.

"You know the." Lin Yongtian said in words that he didn't know where to hear: "Linyun No. 1 Middle School is the best school in the city, and entering it is equivalent to stepping into the door of the university." ”

"So, Lin Su is quite powerful?"

Lin Yongtian snorted and reluctantly acquiesced.

"Then you say, if we don't send Lin Su to the city, maybe she can really get into a good university in the future, and college students can find jobs, if she is out of business, we can also enjoy happiness."

"Are you dizzy? The tuition fees for primary and junior high schools are paid by the state, and you have to pay for your own high school students, and the tuition fees for a semester are several hundred, plus accommodation fees and living expenses, seventy-seven eighty-eight, and it will be 10,000 yuan less in three years, are you willing to spend this money on her? Don't have a son? ”

"Besides, can that little white-eyed wolf make you happy? She is going to become a college student, go out to see the world, and fly out of this mountain when her wings are stiff, do you think she can listen to you like now? Lin Yongtian sneered and said: "Don't raise a daughter for someone else at that time, the money will be wasted." ”

Sun Yufen felt that it made sense, after all, Lin Su didn't come out from under her belly, and she hadn't drunk her own milk, who knows if she would miss her adoptive parents who raised her if she was really good.

"You're right, it's better to leave her in the mountains, at least she can be called, and she can get some bride price money when she gets married in the future."

"This girl is fine, you are optimistic about her during this time, don't let her toss out any moths."

"Yes."

……

Lin Su listened to the conversation between Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen silently, and his emotions did not fluctuate.

Sun Yufen and Lin Yongtian have never conceived a child since they got married, and Lin Su was raised from another village in a mountain col, in order to provide for them in the future. She was four years old when she came to the house, and she was already the age to remember.

At first, everything was fine, and Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen didn't treat her so harshly, until she was six years old, Lin Youwei was born.

With their own children, Lin Su, an adopted daughter who is not related by blood, has become a burden, Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen didn't think about returning her, but they couldn't find the woman who entrusted Lin Su to them in the first place.

From childhood to adulthood, when Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen beat Lin Su, they would talk about this matter, saying that her own father died, and her mother thought she was a trouble, if it weren't for their kindness, she wouldn't know where to ask for food now. They would also threaten her and throw her away if she didn't obey.

Lin Su has lived in fear of being discarded at any time since she was a child, in order to please Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen, she behaves and learns to do housework, but she can't please them.

Gradually, she began to understand that this house was not a home.

She's going to get out.

Lin Su reached into the gap between the bed and the wall, and found a red plastic bag. She cautiously opened the bag and took out a wad of money, the largest of which was only fifty.

After she went to junior high school, as long as she was on vacation, she would definitely follow Sun Yufen to the tea garden to pick tea, spring tea, summer tea, and autumn tea, some of which she asked Sun Yufen for after picking tea every time, and some of it was earned by helping people write homework at school.

After a few years of accumulation, I only saved about 600 yuan.

Lin Su inquired, the tuition fee of Linyun No. 1 Middle School is 500 yuan, and the accommodation fee is 300 yuan, she plans to follow Sun Yufen to the tea garden this summer to earn more, and make up the registration fee for a semester, as for the living expenses, she will apply for the subsidy for poor students after she goes to school.

She couldn't care what to do in the second and third semesters, she only knew that she had to go to No. 1 Middle School, she had to study, and as for the future, she could only take one step at a time.

．

The highest yield of the year, the longest picking season is summer tea, which has a picking period of almost three months. During this period, as long as the weather is good, there are tea pickers picking tea in the tea garden every day.

After Lin Su washed and dried the family's clothes, he put on a hat and went to the tea garden. She started picking tea at nine o'clock in the morning, went home to cook as soon as eleven o'clock, and followed Sun Yufen to the tea garden after eating and washing the dishes.

In the afternoon, the umbrella is high, the tea trees in the tea garden are low, there is no shade at all, and the tea pickers are exposed to the sun.

Tea pickers are the hardest to pick tea in summer, but summer tea is the worst quality and cheapest, tea pickers curse the weather while picking tea, and at the same time, they hope that the sun can come out every day, because only in this way, the fresh leaves can be sent to the green field to dry, and they can work.

In the afternoon, Li Aiping came to the tea garden to find Lin Su and gave her a popsicle. Lin Su took the opportunity to rest for a while and listened to Li Aiping talk about the idol drama she was watching recently.

As he was talking, Lin Su saw the big boss of the tea factory in the town, Xu Jiafu, the head of Lin Yongtian's mouth, appear in the tea garden. She was startled, and immediately pulled Li Aiping to squat down, shrunk her head and hid under the tea tree.

Li Aiping was puzzled and asked, "What are you hiding?" ”

"I'm not a regular worker, so it's better not to be seen by them." Lin Su said.

Li Aiping was curious, got up slightly, and looked at Xu Jiafu, and after a while, she pulled Lin Su's clothes and said, "Look, the 'richest man' brought someone to visit the tea garden, and there is a boy in it." ”

Xu Jiafu is the richest person in Nanshan Town, and the children in the town call him "the richest man".

Lin Su raised his head and vaguely saw a few figures through the tea tree in Fushu, and also saw a few teenagers behind a few adults.

"He looks so good, like an actor in an idol drama I watched." Li Aiping suddenly became a nymphomaniac.

Lin Su hadn't watched TV for a long time, and he didn't know what the actor in Li Aiping's mouth looked like, so he stared at the young man for a while.

He was quite tall, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and a black cap, and at a distance, Lin Su couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only felt that he was refreshing and refreshing, different from the boys in the school.

Probably because the things that the adults talked about were boring, and the teenagers were not very interested, so they kept standing on the side and were silent. I don't know if there is weight in my gaze, Lin Su saw him suddenly turn his head, and his gaze went straight to her.

She lowered her body suddenly, and when she looked up again, he and the other adults were gone.

In the afternoon, Lin Su learned the identity of the person brought by Xu Jiafu from the chatter of the tea pickers, saying that the boss of the city's machinery manufacturing company came to Nanshan Town to discuss cooperation, and brought his son to play by the way. More well-informed people said that Xu Jiafu's daughter and boss's son were admitted to a high school, and they were invited to celebrate tomorrow's college banquet.

When the tea pickers talked about this, they asked Sun Yufen: "Didn't your Lin Su also be admitted to Linyun No. 1 Middle School, why don't you hold a banquet for further education?" ”

Sun Yufen replied quickly: "I don't have any money to study for her, and I don't have any banquet for her to go to school." ”

Another person said: "Lin Su was admitted to such a good school, it's a pity not to study." ”

Sun Yufen pinched her hand on her waist and said in a sharp voice: "If you think it's a pity, just pay for her to read, don't just open your mouth." ”

The man stopped squeaking.

When Sun Yufen was away, the tea pickers got together and praised Lin Su for being sensible and capable, saying that Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen were too mean to this adopted daughter, but in the final analysis, no one really stood up for Lin Su.

In these years, no one lives easily, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is difficult to protect themselves, who can control the life and death of others?

At four o'clock, the foreman called for settlement, and Lin Su saw that Sun Yufen had got the money, so he came to her and shouted, "Mom." ”

Sun Yufen spat at the fingers, rubbed it and began to count the money, and after counting the money, she caught a glimpse of Lin Su standing aside, her eyes looking directly at the banknotes in her hand. Unmoved, she folded the money, stuffed it into her pocket, and said, "You don't go to school now, and there's nothing to spend money on, so I won't give you money." ”

Lin Su immediately became anxious, "Mom, I'm not lazy today. ”

"What's the noise, it's not enough for you to eat and drink?"

Lin Su didn't get the money for two days, and when she thought that Sun Yufen would probably not give her money again in the future, she panicked. She didn't argue with Sun Yufen with a bare face, but said calmly: "I'll find the foreman tomorrow to calculate the money." ”

Sun Yufen was furious when she heard this, she raised her hand and poked Lin Su's temple, and scolded: "You are old now, and you have a long ability, right?" I tell you, if I don't agree, you see if the foreman dares to give you the money. ”

Lin Su didn't want to fight against Sun Yufen, it was no good, so he immediately softened his attitude and begged: "Mom, I just want to save some money to buy clothes, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you and work hard." ”

She was beaten and scolded, and her body was poked and swayed.

Sun Yufen was also afraid that Lin Su would not be active in her work in the future, so after scolding a few words, she took out the money from her pocket, drew a five-yuan bill and threw it on the ground.

"Little white-eyed wolf." Sun Yufen chirped.

Lin Su squatted down and picked up the five yuan on the ground. She looked at the banknote in her hand, wiped her eyes for a while, and followed Sun Yufen back in silence.

When she got home, Sun Yufen instructed Lin Su to boil water, and Lin Su took advantage of her hair washing to go back to the room. She climbed into bed and dug between the bed and the wall, but found nothing. Her head buzzed, and she immediately lay under the bed, and there was no red plastic bag to be seen.

Her money is gone.

Lin Su was cold from head to toe at the moment.

Lin Youwei walked in from outside at this time, still holding a brand-new game console in his hand, and when he saw Lin Su in the room, he subconsciously wanted to run out.

Lin Su rushed over in two or three steps, grabbed his back collar, and asked him, "Did you take my things?" ”

Lin Youwei didn't reply, he just struggled, and he had to smash people with the game console in his hand.

Lin Su grabbed him by the collar, shook him, raised his voice and asked again: "Did you take my money?" ”

Her eyes were red, her expression was ruthless, and her hands were even more deadly, Lin Youwei was only ten years old in the end, and she was scared and cried all of a sudden.

Sun Yufen heard Lin Youwei's cry, she didn't bother to rinse her hair, ran in with a head of foam, and saw Lin Su holding her son, and immediately pushed her away.

"Why? Hit your brother? ”

Lin Su was trembling all over, gritted his teeth and said, "He stole from me." ”

"What is stealing, what is in this house that is yours?" Sun Yufen touched Lin Youwei, and then asked, "What did you take?" ”

Lin Youwei cried, took out a red plastic bag from his pocket.

Lin Su stretched out his hand and was about to snatch it, but Sun Yufen moved faster, took the plastic bag and opened it to look at it.

"It's mine." Lin Su wanted to rob it.

Sun Yufen raised her hand, wiped the foam that flowed down her eyes, and asked, "Where did you get the money?" ”

"I saved it."

"I can't see it, you are quite capable of saving so much money." Sun Yufen stared at Lin Su, "What's the use, tuition?" ”

"Mom, you give me the money, it's mine." Lin Su was afraid that Sun Yufen would not give it, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it.

Sun Yufen raised her hand and pushed, but Lin Su couldn't stand the force and fell directly to the ground.

Lin Su saw that Sun Yufen tied up the plastic bag and stuffed it into her pocket, and she didn't care about the pain, so she immediately knelt down and hugged her leg.

"It's my money."

"Mom, give me the money, please."

"If you let me go to school, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

"Please, please."

Lin Su choked up, hugging Sun Yufen like holding the last driftwood of a drowning person, no matter how she broke it, she wouldn't let go.

Sun Yufen saw Lin Su's desperate expression, and there was a hint of hesitation on her face, but soon she thought of Lin Yongtian's words - Lin Su, this girl, has such an idea now, and if she reads books and has culture, she may fly away in the future, and then she will be raised in vain.

"It's good that we provide you with junior high school, don't think about high school, the tuition is expensive, and you have to go to the city, your brother also has to study, how can the family have so much money......" Sun Yufen broke Lin Su's hand, didn't break it, kicked her directly with a ruthless heart, and said impatiently: "What are you crying about, I don't know and think that our family has abused you." ”

"Without me and your dad, you'd have died. I'm telling you, we're not sorry for you, you have the ability to go to your dead father and remarried mother to ask for money! ”
