Chapter 3; choose

Although it is already a widely circulated saying that the children of poor families are in charge of their families early, I think it will be a bit difficult to really implement it on people.

Maybe someone else would really do it, but how could my sister be. She can talk about one thing for a long time, and I still remember the first time I signed up for an interest class, she said that she had only lived with a tutor and had not applied for any interest class.

In fact, she has reported that she was the darling of the family when she was young, and the only thing that went wrong was that she was once sent by my mother to live with my uncle because of a trivial matter. She only talks about hardship, and she makes fun of suffering, no matter what she says, she is very hard, and then my mother will follow her will do everything according to her wishes. Then he looked at me with a very strange look, as if I had really done something terrible.

"So what is your situation now, going to school?"

"I don't read anymore, as long as my sister can study well." She said out of the blue, well, I have to say it's more than I expected, I didn't think she would say anything.

"Are all farmers in your family?"

"Hmm."

"That's really hard, and I don't know what's going on with today's children."

"Harm, take care of it slowly." She began to follow the words of others again, I really. I don't know what words to use to describe her, maybe pretending to be poor is a good way, but I don't know why I want to pretend to be poor, they don't look rich, we.

I looked down at the clothes on my body, which my mother bought for me a few years ago, and I have been wearing them until now, and my family is not wealthy. So what is the reason for her doing this, she must have her reasons for doing this, but can you not always say that you are miserable, this is really annoying.

"You girl is still obedient and sensible."

He laughed and teased, and my sister just laughed faintly, and then said nothing more. Really, if I weren't her sister, I'd have thought she broke her heart for this family. But I don't understand what it is, and my parents probably want a good child. But it's a bit hypocritical, and I can't stand it.

"Here, here are some apples grown by my uncle's family, you can take them and eat them." He said he was going to bring us his own things, and my sister said that she didn't want them to eat on their own. Seeing that she couldn't move, the man tried to shove the apple into my hand again, and I simply stepped aside and opened the curtain and hid.

Neither end was delivered, and he sighed with some intention of giving up, "Alas, this is an apple grown by my uncle's family, take a few and taste it." ”

"No, no, our family also grows fruit trees."

"You also have apples at home."

"Hmm."

"How much did apples sell this year?" He asked, as if he was excited, as if he couldn't hide it. My sister told him, "We have a good harvest this year, but we still need to borrow money to see a doctor." ”

I don't know if she's smart or stupid, she says she's smart and she says our family has a good harvest, she says she's stupid, she says our family needs to borrow money to see my mother. It seems to be smart, and suddenly he raised the status of the other party, making him think that although our family has a good harvest, we have to borrow money to see a doctor, but in this way, it really won't make people look down on it?

"Borrow money to see a doctor, ah, I see." When he had finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but I actually saw a hint of relief on my sister's face, and it seems that this performance was a success.

Should I celebrate her or feel sorry for her, I should be angry with myself, no matter what others think. Standing by the window, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure and confusion, but I didn't know where this confusion came from.

My dad went out to eat, and he didn't even see what was selling around just now, and he had been out for so long, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

My sister and I don't have anything to talk about, and even though he doesn't have anything to talk about, at least it won't be so embarrassing. I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see my dad's shadow, but he had already come in the door.

"Dad, you're done eating."

"Ahh

"Brother, this girl of your family is good, she can endure hardships at such a young age."

"Harm, my girl just doesn't let people worry about it." My dad didn't seem to know how to praise people, so he did it again according to what others had just said. It's boring, I'm going to scratch my big project again.

"I heard your baby say that she brought her sister out when she was young, right?"

"Ah, I'm very busy with her mother, so she brought it. At that time, he was only eight years old, and he was quite filial. After a few polite words, my dad began to observe my mother's physical condition, and the results were very good.

"Zhou Tian is in class on Monday, today is Sunday, I asked people, they are going back tomorrow, you take Zhou Tian back in the car."

"Can't I just come along?"

"Go back with Zhou Tian, what else are you going to do."

"I can stay and take care of my mom."

"What should I do with Zhou Tian, you and her have to go to school, and you have to pack up your things and be obedient and go back tomorrow."

"But." …

My sister said a lot, but my dad still meant the same thing, in fact, he is a very stubborn person, although he says that it is good, but he will still subconsciously do what he thinks is right. He's the youngest kid and I seem to find resonance, but I'm the type who doesn't speak.

Time passed quickly, and when it was time to rest at night, there was a small bed prepared by the hospital for accompanying family members that my father slept on. The remaining three chairs were made for my sister, and I had nowhere to go, so I stood straight until I was about to turn off the lights, and the man in the bed next to me asked me why I didn't sleep, and my dad paid attention to me.

He looked and saw that there seemed to be no place for me, so he asked me to lie in the hospital bed with my mother. My mom was still on a ventilator, and most of the space was already occupied, so I slept next to her. Fortunately, this bed has a guardrail, and when the guardrail is raised, there is a place for me to sleep.

"Is your little daughter a favorite of the family?"

"yes, my little girl is just a little worried."

"Hahaha." The man smiled and turned off the light, but I couldn't sleep for a long time. The guardrail is not very big, I just feel like I'm holding the guardrail. It's very aggrieved, but there is no other way.

The curtains are not drawn, and the scenery at night is not so charming, and the stars are not visible, black, and it is really impossible to see the five fingers.

I tried to fall asleep, but suddenly a sound woke me up. I was very energetic, and I couldn't sleep anymore until the next morning, when the nurse came to round the ward and asked us who were the patients, that I gradually woke up and got off my mother's bed with apologies.

Without washing his face, someone came. The person who came was Xiang Yi, she was married, and she had a good relationship with my mother, and Zhou Qi and I returned home in her car. Zhou Qi said to me, "Dad told me when he left, you want to live in Xiang Yi's house during this time, and tell Xiang Yi if you need anything." ”

"Got it."

"Then I'll go back to school." After Zhou Qi finished speaking, she packed up her things and left, and then Xiang Yi told me to follow her home. I didn't want to go, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't cook, I would starve myself to death if I stayed at home, and I didn't have the money.

Thinking so, I followed. When I came to her house, she asked me to sit casually. She has a son and a daughter, neither of whom are easy to contact. I just feel the pressure and want to run away? It can't be helped.

"Mom, what is she doing at our house?" Before the ass was hot.,The hero came.,She's the eldest daughter of Xiang Yi.,It's a good relationship with my mother.。

"Your aunt is sick, and there is no one to take care of your aunt at home, so she came to our house." Xiang Yi casually explained and went back to the bedroom, but unfortunately their house was not soundproof, and I could hear it all.

"Then she can't take care of herself? What are you doing here? ”

"Your aunt is still young, and if she can't cook, of course she has to live in someone else's house."

"I can't figure it out."

"There are so many things you can't figure out, go out and ask her if she has taken her schoolbag, and she will go to school tomorrow."

"Why don't you go?"

"I still have to pack my things, who will go if you don't go."

"It's annoying." "Zhou Tian, did you bring a schoolbag, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”

"Brought it."

"That'll do." After she finished speaking, she went back, and I was a little annoyed, so I simply took out my schoolbag and did my homework. I remember before leaving, I put the rest of my ham sausage in my bag.

It's still there, but I still don't eat it.

Pull out your homework and start writing. These questions are only slightly difficult, but they can't absolutely stump me. As he was writing, he suddenly heard someone walk in. It's Xiang Yi's husband, I've met it a few times, but I'm not particularly familiar with it.

When he came in and saw me, he was surprised and then forbearing. It was just an instant that I understood what his expression meant, it turned out that Xiang Yi had never told him the news that I was coming, so he was about to ask Xiang Yi in a forbearance.

It is said that the most important thing in the life of a husband and wife is to bring the family members to live at home. Thinking of this, I was a little panicked, I have no money, am I going to starve to death?

"How did you get back?"

"I'll come back without any work, and I haven't asked me yet, why did you get her."

"My aunt is sick, let me take her with me."

"If they tell you to take it, you can take it."

"When I was a child, my aunt brought it out, to repay the kindness."

Gratitude? So she brought me here to repay the favor? Yes, there seems to be no other reason than to repay the favor. The child is a drag oil bottle, and it's hard for her to still think about this old kindness, but I have nothing to repay, just. alas

I took out the ham sausage from my bag and put it on the table in the living room, and then went back to my homework. The homework assigned by the teacher is not much, but it is actually quite a lot. By the time I finished writing, the family had already begun to pack up and go to bed early, and Xiang Yi hesitated to say something as if he had just noticed me.

"Want to ask where I live."

"Ah, there's a bedroom over here, you can go in and live in. There's an alarm in there, and you set an alarm yourself. ”

"Okay."

As soon as Xiang saw that I had agreed, he went back to his room to sleep and covered the quilt, and I suddenly became a little confused. Actually, I can live well alone, I only need money for food. But I don't have a mobile phone, so how can I contact my parents?

If you want to survive in someone else's home, you must give benefits, but I don't have any money, what should I give? It seems to be a nutritious meal from the school. That's the only thing I can get my hands on, and I hope they don't dislike it

Looking at the alarm clock, I set the alarm clock for half past five in the morning, and although the school time was seven o'clock, I still thought it would be better to get up early. So, the next morning, after the alarm clock went off, I got up early to clean up, I didn't know which towel to wipe my face, so I took the most inconspicuous one to wipe my face.

When they got up, Xiang Yi's daughter laughed at me mercilessly, "Mom, look, she's wiping her face with a cloth to wipe her feet." ”

I heard what they said, and I didn't know what to do for a while. And Xiang Yi also laughed and teased, "Why did you take a towel to wash your feet and wipe your face with so many towels next to the good guy, if you let others hear it, you must say that we don't treat you well." ”

I simply started washing my face again, and after washing it twice, I still didn't feel clean, so I took a soap and washed it. As soon as I wiped a little, I heard Xiang Yi's daughter's laughter again, "Wash your face with soap, hahahaha, doesn't she know that there is such a thing as facial cleanser?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't wash it, waste water. I'll give you a few dollars, and you go to the breakfast shop and buy some buns to eat. After Xiang Yi finished speaking, he handed me three yuan. Two pieces of porridge for buns are just right, but why should she give me money to buy them.

Judging by the way she looks, she is going to eat at home. Give me money to buy breakfast, is she willing to give up these few dollars? You must know that breaking half of the steamed bun for me to eat is only five cents for her. Five cents and one dollar, shouldn't a normal person choose five cents? She actually chose a dollar.

"If you don't take it, then you don't have to eat today." to the other, but did not show the meaning of threat. That's counterfeit banknotes? I couldn't figure it out, but I took the money and said thank you.

Xiang Yi didn't say anything to me, turned around and left without even giving me a superfluous look, leaving her eldest daughter looking at me with a smile on her face, and kept repeating a sentence in her mouth, "The fool wipes his face with a footcloth, and the fool wipes his face with a footcloth." ”

She didn't seem to know the meaning of the sentence, well, she knew it, and she meant it. I put my bag on my back and was about to leave when she suddenly found the ham sausage on the table.

"Whose ham sausage is this?" She asked, glancing at me, "Of course it's your aunt's, who else can it be?" ”

"Then I'll eat this."

"This is your aunt's thing, keep it for others."

"I don't care, I just want it."

"Then you can take it and eat it."

Subsequently, I didn't look any further. When I opened the door, I felt a little relaxed. On the way to school, I met a breakfast shop on the way, and after I went to buy breakfast, I ate on the road while hurrying.

Xiang Yi's home is very close to my school, and it didn't take long to arrive. Maybe her children are going to school here, so she chose to buy a house here, which is quite spoiled. Like my mother, she chose to live here, mostly for me.

No, it's also for my sister, this is the love of parents for their children. But this love is a bit heavy, because if you don't get a good grade, it will collapse.

"Zhou Tian? I heard that something happened to your family, why didn't you ask for leave to come to class? ”

I don't know where the voice came from, but I didn't notice her until the man walked in and talked to me.

Her name is Li Ping, and she is a good friend of mine. She looks cute and is friendly.

"My dad didn't give me time off, so I came."

"Why didn't your father ask you for leave, for fear of delaying your studies?"

"Probably."

"Then there's no one in your house now, where do you live now?" I hesitated, but told her the truth, "My mother's relatives are here, and I live in her house." ”

"Staying at a relative's house, huh. It's good, but it's going to be very inconvenient, I've heard people say that the relationship between relatives is the most difficult to deal with. It's not that you're a burden, it's just that they mind a little. ”

Li Ping is right, and I agree with her very much. But if I don't go to the family, where should I go? You know, I don't know how to cook, and I don't have the money to eat. If you go to someone else's house, that's a burden.

"Why don't you come to my house?" Li Ping proposed, what she said was exactly what I just thought, but.

"I don't know how to cook, and I don't have any money, isn't going to your house more like a burden? Forget it. ”

"But with your character, you're going to be bullied in their house. Let me see? Li Ping came to grab my chin as she spoke, I didn't know what she was going to do, so I tried my best to hide.

"Don't move, I'll take a look." Li Ping said that he was about to catch it again, although he didn't understand, he still stood and let her see something.

She touched my face first, then opened my upper lip, "Tut-tut, I didn't brush my teeth this morning." They didn't have anything to brush your teeth, you come to my house, I told my mom everything about you, she will be very good to you. I also bought a toothbrush cup yesterday, the same one as mine, which is for you. ”

"Forget it, it's too intrusive."

"What's there to bother with, my mom said she welcomes you, if you really don't want to go, just play with me." Li Ping said it very lightly, as if this was not a thing. However, the appearance of Xiang Yi's husband yesterday is still deeply imprinted in my mind at the moment, and I dare not bet.

"Me. Still don't bother, thanks. ”

"Why can't you listen to anything, so let's do it, if you can't live at your relative's house, tell me and go to live in my house."

"Does your mom really know?" The more she said, the more skeptical I became. Because of the oil bottle like me, normal people should avoid it. Moreover, the only relationship between our family and theirs is the friendship between our juniors.

My mom went to a big hospital for treatment, not a small hospital. The treatment time is not expected to end soon. Even if what Li Ping said is true, what about after that? After a long time, I will definitely not be able to stand it.

"My mom must know, and if she didn't, we wouldn't have prepared a toothbrush cup, would we?"

"But I don't have any money, it's not realistic."

"Uh." She couldn't say anything more,

"Alright, let's go to school together." I tossed the finished bag into the trash and walked back to her. Li Ping still has half of the buns and soy milk left in her hand, and I am going to wait here for her to finish eating. After she finishes eating, we go to school together.
