Happy Life [Rebirth]

Lin Shuzhen's tears fell silently at the beginning, but Xia Chaobei had already taken out a piece of RMB [-] and slapped it in front of my eyes, foolishly persevering in the temptation: "Xiao Lu, just Call me dad, and after calling this one hundred, it will be yours."

It's a pity that one hundred yuan is not attractive to me. I looked at Xia Chaobei very bored, and moved my body to turn around to wipe my tears for Aunt Lin. At this moment, Lin Shuzhen burst into tears.

She cried so violently that Xia Chaobei realized that his wife was crying, and didn't bother to let me call him dad, so he quickly stepped forward and reached out to wipe Lin Shuzhen's tears.

Lin Shuzhen didn't let go while crying, she hugged me sobbingly and said, "Xiaolu, what are you calling me?"

I had no choice but to blushed again, and squeezed out a word: "Mom."

After yelling, feel for a while, it's okay if you're raw and familiar the second time.

Lin Shuzhen was already crying and laughing. Lin Shuzhen was not a gentle woman but a big girl from the mountain city. When she got excited, she grabbed Xia Chaobei's collar with her hands, and her mouth was already grinning from ear to ear with tears streaming down her face: " Xiaolu is calling my mother!"

I took the opportunity to jump down from Lin Shuzhen's arms, only to see Xia Chaobei being pulled by his collar, blushing and grabbing his wife's hand, Xia Chaobei rolled his eyes and said to Lin Shuzhen: "Shut up—let go! Calling mom is amazing!" Ah, if you are capable, let Xiao Luzi call me Dad!"

Lin Shuzhen let go, wiped her face indiscriminately, and stretched out her hand to hug me. At this moment, Xia Wanwan ran into the room trembling, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, why are you carrying me behind your back!"

I hid behind Xia Wanwan and pushed my sister in front of me. Xia Wanwan was embraced by Lin Shuzhen. Wanwan looked at Lin Shuzhen and cried out in shock, "Mom, why are you crying?"

Lin Shuzhen kissed her face a few times, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy, I'll cry when I'm so happy."

That night, Lin Shuzhen and Xia Chaobei asked me to sleep with Wanwan. I wanted to refuse, but seeing the happy smiles of Lin Shuzhen and Xia Chaobei, I couldn't say the words of refusal. In the end, Wanwan leaned against Lin Shuzhen at night. Next to Xia Chaobei, the four of us squeezed into one bed and slept all night.

Lin Shuzhen and Xia Chaobei probably felt that the four of them slept together very warmly, but when I woke up in the morning and opened my eyes, I saw Wanwan and Xia Chaobei glaring at me.

Wan Wan was the first to accuse: "Xiao Lu, you always kick me in bed at night! I was woken up several times by you in one night!"

I looked at Xia Chaobei again, Xia Chaobei looked at me and nodded deeply: "Boy—it's better to sleep alone!"

I pouted, jumped down to wear it, turned around and made a grimace: "From now on, if you beg me, I won't sleep with you anymore!"

After the grimacing was done and the cruel words were released, Lin Shuzhen was still asleep with her head covered, Xia Wanwan and Xia Chaobei were stunned for a moment, Xia Wanwan pointed at me like a goose: "Xiaolu, you finally have a little girl." Looks like a child!"

Xia Chaobei also looked at me blankly, and laughed out loud at him: "Yang Lu, are you cute like this! You always have a straight face, you look like a little old man, you know?"

I, a little old man, really don't want to continue talking nonsense with them, so I quickly ran to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash my face. In a two-bedroom house, Xia Chaobei and Lin Shuzhen lived in the second bedroom. The big bedroom was divided into two small rooms for me. I live with Wanwan, and the toilet is only shared with the outside one.

When I brushed my teeth, Xia Chaobei came in to pee, Wanwan could only dress outside and comb her hair, and when the two of us big men came out, she also hurried into the toilet. From what I could see, she was also in a hurry to release the water.

Today is Monday, Lin Shuzhen is still sleeping, Xia Chaobei ordered a bowl of wontons for me and Wanwan, they were all wrapped in the refrigerator and ready-made so quickly.

Wanwan and I were eating wontons, and Xia Chaobei was making noodles in the kitchen. After the two of us finished eating, we entered the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks. Hold on, both of you—we're both late!"

Wanwan and I saw that it was really late, so we hurriedly put on our shoes and went out without washing the dishes and carrying our schoolbags. Xia Chaobei chased him out again, took out two yuan and gave it to Wanwan and me, telling us: "Between classes Get some snacks when you're hungry."

Wanwan and I took the money, and Wanwan yelled, "Dad, I want noodles with fried sauce for lunch!"

Xia Chaobei had already entered the kitchen, and said "Hey" back to Wanwan, and then Wanwan held the money and took my hand and hopped out to school.

The two of us had bus student cards, and it was a little late to go out, and even the bus followed suit. When we got off the bus, Wanwan was already frowning and took my hand and ran all the way into the school. There was still 5 minutes before the national flag was raised. Only then was he relieved.

When we got to the school gate, a car drove straight over. It stands to reason that it is common for parents to drive their children in private cars in schools, but Wanwan and I pulled up to the school in such a grandiose way, and the guard opened the gate to let the car go. go in.

Wanwan stared at the car, a little envious: "My family used to have a car."

I took a look, and the car is still expensive and rare nowadays, it is a Mercedes-Benz.

I wonder if it is the principal’s new mount, but then I think the principal has driven a QQ for five years, and he likes the image of being simple and thrifty. Even if he really bought a Mercedes-Benz, he probably would drive it for his wife, and he would not drive it to school. .

Because the principal of Jincheng No. [-] Middle School took the lead, some teachers had a lot of money and did not dare to drive the principal to the school.

I heard that in the previous classes before I came, a teacher drove a 20 yuan private car to and from school. When the teachers held a meeting on Friday, the dean gave a blank expression to the headmaster's words to establish a new style.The style of the tree is simplicity and frugality, and the teacher who was in charge of the school managed to transfer to another school after teaching that semester.

Wanwan and I waited for the bus to leave first, and then ran to the playground with our schoolbags on our backs. The music was already playing, and the two of us put down our schoolbags and found our class standing at the end of the line.

It's a pity that both eyes of the head teacher are searchlights. I was caught late, but the head teacher always doesn't regard me as a student in his class. He directly expresses that I have to leave sooner or later Attitude, there is some connivance-like neglect towards me.

I was late this time and just said a few words to me, telling me to pay attention next time, so I was let into class.

It wasn't until after school at noon that day that I found out that Wanwan was punished to stand for a class. The two of us went home. Lin Shuzhen and Xia Chaobei had already gone out to set up a stall, and the table was covered with gauze.

Wanwan took the food and heated it up. I served the meal and the two of us ate. I looked around at the shabby and dilapidated walls. I probably didn’t see that car today, so I felt better. Think of the extremes of poverty and wealth.

I am very aware of the poverty of Xia Chaobei and his wife, and at the same time, I understand that without me, Lin Shuzhen and Xia Chaobei's burden will be less.

The nine-year compulsory education has not yet completely waived the tuition fees. The miscellaneous expenses for me and Wanwan every semester add up to about [-] expenses. In addition, the two of us have a lot of food.

Both Wanwan and I seem to be in the growth stage, and we grow taller in unison. The meals we two children eat every day are almost the same as Xia Chaobei's, and the appetite is bigger than Lin Shuzhen's.

Even so, Wanwan and I are two skinny kids. Wanwan is okay, at least she has grown up, but I just eat, but I don’t know where I eat, and my height is shorter than my peers.I am also very thin, and some teachers would talk about me and ask me if I didn't eat well.

But I ate a lot of food. I calculated that Xia Chaobei and Lin Shuzhen also ordered milk for me and Wanwan, plus the daily meals for the four of us, it would cost about 15 yuan a day.

Xia Chaobei sells a bowl of wontons for three yuan, and they only earn 22 cents per bowl after deducting the cost. They have to sell 715 bowls of wontons a day to be enough for a day’s food. If the monthly rent is [-] yuan, they need to sell [-] bowls of wontons. They also saved money to pay tuition fees for me and Wanwan, junior high school, high school, and even college.

Even though I know that Xia Chaobei and Lin Shuzhen will only need two years to get up again, and then smoothly occupy a place in Jincheng's catering industry.

But now, I don’t know how many bowls of wontons my adoptive parents have to sell to support my two children. I feel like a stalk of silk grass, which looks so weak and inconspicuous, but is tightly entwined with my adoptive parents. Steal their nutrients from your body to grow yourself.

I feel ashamed of every mouthful of rice I eat and the one yuan that Xia Chaobei gives me every day.

It was also the first time I realized that poverty is such a taste, not only material lack, but also spiritual sadness.

I wish I could do something to at least make me not feel so useless.
