I really don't want to read

At that time, the Zhou family, not to mention how rich they were, could at least raise their two children decently.

Father Zhou Aimin even made plans for his children to study abroad in high school.

Like many traditional families in the Rongcheng area, Zhou Jia’s father, Zhou Aimin, always handed over the income of the family to his wife, and Zhou Jia’s mother, who studied accounting, can be regarded as a “professional counterpart”.

But when the life of the family seemed to be booming, one day, the mother suddenly closed the door and talked with the father for a long time, and also quarreled for a long time. Zhou Jia, who was building blocks with his younger brother in the living room, could only vaguely hear a few words. .

What "bookmaker".

What "rolling interest".

……

In fact, they were all words that Zhou Jia couldn't understand. The only thing he could understand was "I'm sorry", which was repeated many times.

What happened after that was beyond the comprehension of the young Zhou Jia.

She just moved with her parents and younger brother in a daze, watched in a daze that the mahogany furniture was replaced by plywood, and watched in a daze that her favorite prawns no longer appeared on the dining table.

Finally, I was stunned to see a [Wangpu for sale] posted on the shutter door of the fruit shop at home.

"Dad, why don't we sell apples anymore?"

Compared with the shop, the ignorant little girl is more concerned about the fruits she likes to eat.

"Because business is not doing well..."

"What about cantaloupe?"

"Not for sale anymore."

"Then... what about the oranges? Are they not for sale?"

……

That evening, Zhou Aimin did not answer his daughter's question again.

After that day, the air in the house was no longer as loud and cheerful as it used to be.

……

The atmosphere of daily life is lingering with a thin layer of haze that cannot be removed. Although the father still brings some cheap gadgets to the children from time to time, the younger brother still laughs foolishly with snot bubbles.

But Zhou Jia clearly felt that her mother no longer liked to laugh, and her temper was getting worse and worse.

Zhou Jia didn't dare to break his younger brother's toys anymore, not because he could no longer get the report fee, but because his mother replaced the chopsticks used to beat the palms with rattan sticks, and later replaced them with steel rulers.

The study committee members don't like to use steel rulers at school because they feel that they are too cold to the touch.

After that day, she gradually realized that the heart of the woman called "Mom" could be even colder.

……

The family fell to the bottom, and my father found a job as a milkman with the help of the little contacts accumulated when he opened the store.

Even at that time, it was already a nearly extinct job. Zhou Jia often heard his father flicking the abacus on the coffee table at night, muttering "not enough" and "not enough".

So, after two months of hard work, Zhou Aimin changed jobs and started working under a boss who sold floor and wall tiles.

Zhou Aimin is hard-working and able to endure hardships. Although the family conditions are not as good as before, he still saves money to keep the family running, and on another night, he discussed with his mother about working part-time together.

As for the children, Zhou Jia's grandparents left early, and Zhou Aimin wanted to bring his father-in-law and mother-in-law from the countryside to live in Rongcheng, so that he could help take care of the couple while they were working.

In this way, on a weekend, Zhou Aimin went to work with the boss as usual, and his mother brought 200 yuan back to her hometown.

But no one thought that the woman would lose contact with her family just like that.

Zhou Aimin, who thought his wife was missing, anxiously called the police 24 hours later, and received a ridiculous message half a month later:

The woman did not disappear, but returned to her hometown and followed a rich man who made his fortune from fishing. The family and the other party even agreed to get married next month.

And the reason why she got the news was because of a letter from her.

The letter was full of sorry and her grievances.

She couldn't bear the serious decline in the quality of life, and didn't want to spend the last few years of her precious youth in such a rough and unseemly way.

She doesn't want to work for others, doesn't want to look at other people's faces, and there are many things she doesn't want to do. Regarding the previous quarrel,

Although the study committee members didn't know many words at the time, they still remember the perfunctory handwriting on the letter, which was messy and scribbled.

The only place where the handwriting is neat and orderly is the divorce agreement inside.

Zhou Jia will never forget that that afternoon, his father smoked the first and only cigarette in his life on the sofa. After the cigarette went out, he didn't say anything, but grabbed his right wrist desperately to keep his fingers from trembling. It was too strong, and finally, after signing the divorce agreement crookedly, he went to the balcony and made a long, long phone call.

That night, Zhou Jia slept deeply and dreamed that a woman was talking.

Only later did she know that the woman came back overnight after that phone call.

Waking up the next day, Zhou Jia saw an orange on the bedside table.

She didn't see her father, nor the woman until the afternoon when Zhou Aimin came back and made a simple dinner.

"Dad, Mom gave me an orange, do you want to eat it?"

Zhou Aimin was silent for a long time, and finally answered with an irrelevant sentence:

"Father will support you in the future."

At that time Zhou Jia didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but only remembered that in the next few weeks, every morning when he woke up, he could see his father's eye sockets were very red and swollen.

……

"... Then it was about the fifth grade. He lost a good job suddenly, which happened to be the time when the last debt should be paid... The law and order in those years was not as good as it is now. It didn't take long for three people in black to come to the house , After sending him away anyway, Dad went on a long trip..."

Zhou Jia's tone has always been flat. Although the past is bitter, it is over after all. Especially when talking about it with Lin Xiaoxian, her mood is extraordinarily calm:

"...Thinking about it later, he must have put down his face to find that woman and her new family at that time, and paid off the last sum of money. It was after that that our family began to get better again..."

Lin Xiaoxian frowned:

"No, that Bi...cough... that woman owed the money by herself, and she still paid the money by herself after she got married to the local tyrant?"

"Well, because she manages the money in our family, but it's not like that in other people's family..."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xiaoxian sneered, and wanted to say something to comment, but then he thought about it, there are so many more outrageous things in this world of mortals, that the shit that has passed for so long is thrown into the garbage dump of time, don't bother Flipping out.

------

Before he knew it, he turned around three or four times on the playground, Lin Xiaoxian raised his eyes, looked through the passing students, and saw that the two mother and daughter couples in front of him were still chatting happily as before.

Of course the girls are not as chatty as Lin Xiaoxian, so Lin Xiaoxian was delighted to see the precious picture of the two mothers living in harmony.

He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of this precious historical moment, then he took out an orange from nowhere.

"Give."

Lin Xiaoxian handed it to the study committee member, who stared blankly at him, eyes full of confusion.

"Hey, just kidding, I'll peel it off and give it to you."

Lin Xiaoxian took the oranges away from the study committee, peeled them and muttered:

"Baby Jia can drink orange juice, so it's not that he hates oranges, it's just that he hates the sour and bitter smell of orange peel..."

This is the truth, and it is also the key reason why the study committee members don't like oranges.

"Well..."

After the orange was peeled, Lin Xiaoxian handed it to Zhou Jia again. Zhou Jia took off a petal, bit it delicately, and then frowned slightly.

Orange juice is sweetened, and of course it tastes softer than natural oranges for the study committee members.

"Let me teach you, as long as you are like me, you will not be sour or bitter at all."

Lin Xiaoxian smiled, took the orange back, and began to tear off the white veins on the orange one by one, falling off like a spider web.

"This way it won't be bitter, and if it tastes sour..."

Lin Xiaoxian separated a petal and tore off the transparent film covering the orange flesh like a grapefruit petal.

"Okay, ah—"

The study committee member looked around and opened his mouth to take it with a blushing face.

"Is the taste very close to orange juice?"

"Well, it's not sour or bitter at all!"

Jia Baobao was shocked, but immediately complained:

"But this way of eating is so delicate, it's extremely troublesome."

"It's not troublesome. The white veins are pulled like... like shrimp thread. It's very simple."

Is it easy to smoke shrimp?

The study committee members love to eat shrimp, but they never thought it was easy to smoke shrimp.

Maybe it's because she's clumsy, but she still doesn't know how to do it.

"Actually, eating a perfect orange is the same as living a happy life. It's just that it's much more difficult to peel off the sourness and bitterness in life..."

The study committee member was a little stunned when he heard this, and chuckled lightly, his fair and pretty face was bright and graceful:

"Lin Xiaoxian, you meandering around, you just want to tell me this... If you have the ability, just go and write reading comprehension questions for the college entrance examination paper."

Lin Xiaoxian shook his head disdainfully, stopped, took the study committee member's hand, and kissed her warm and tender palm:

"I don't know if I have the ability to come up with questions, but I still have the ability to peel oranges for a lifetime."

"You...you..."

The study committee member felt that Lin Xiaoxian was going to bully her again, otherwise his heartbeat would not be so fast, and his breathing would not be so flustered.

"Jia, I love you."

"…Eh?"

On the playground, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the study committee member's wet lips were sealed by the warm breath, his body softened, and the light breath in his nose touched the sweetness that surged up in his heart, and his pair of hands gripped nervously on his clothes. The hand on the sleeve began to loosen a little bit, slipped up a little bit, and then wrapped around his neck little by little...

"Baby, when will you take the initiative to kiss me once?"

"It's not like I haven't..."

Indeed, when Wu Tiao was playing in the water, because Lin Xiaoxian deliberately teased her, he offered his first deep kiss on his own initiative.

"I mean the aboveboard kind." Lin Xiaoxian looked around, and there were two shy female students who turned their heads in the distance, and they should have seen it clearly.

"What is fair and aboveboard!"

The study committee pinched him:

"Lin Xiaoxian, do you think our relationship is unfair?"

"no no!"

Lin Xiaoxian was very happy. It seemed that the study committee members were really thinking about it now, and they would spontaneously and subconsciously maintain their "name" and "status".

But there is one thing, he still wants to seriously remind the little lover:

"Baby, I'm serious, let's not pinch our waists at all times in the future. Seeing that you and Su Yuan have been infected by Xiaoyan's bad habits, my heart aches... Hiss!"

Before Lin Xiaoxian finished speaking, he was hit again.

But having said that, how can a girl's little hands be so beautiful...

Even if you pinch someone, it feels like a massage, delicate and soft.

And she is different from Gu Xiaoyan and Su Yuan.

Those two guys were really willing to do it, and they were merciless in teaching their boyfriend a lesson.

Only Jiabao, who seems to be the most cold and arrogant of the three, is actually always the one who loves the most and is the one who is most reluctant to hurt his sweetheart even a little bit.

No matter what Lin Xiaoxian can see or what he can't see, such as in the "backyard QQ group", Jia Baobao is the one who protects him the most.

Therefore, such a study committee member controls the gentle strength every time he pinches him, and Lin Xiaoxian falls in love with this feeling more and more.

"Jia, well, the so-called yin and yang reconciliation, don't try to make me tremble just because you are m... Hiss! It hurts, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
