Met in early autumn of 2001

Time flies, and the college entrance examination is coming in a blink of an eye.

Over the years, only County No. [-] Middle School and another private high school adjacent to it have been used as examination centers in Ueda County. The former is for liberal arts students, while the latter is for science students.In order to prevent students from making mistakes before the exam, No. [-] Middle School hired a car, and the teacher led two teams of liberal arts and science. The afternoon before the college entrance examination, they lived in the dormitories of No. [-] Middle School and a private high school respectively.Xu Yichen and Xu Zhengqi are both science students, and the teacher doesn't care about the assignments. They are left to themselves. Naturally, they live in the same room.

"Not to mention, private high schools are good, just look at the conditions of this dormitory!"

Xu Zhengqi put the bedclothes he had brought over on the bed, and ran to the balcony of the dormitory without tidying it up. When he saw that there was a washbasin, a large mirror was stuck on the wall, and he was posing smugly.After he finished speaking, he looked in the mirror twice, seeing that Xu Yichen hadn't spoken to him, he scratched the door frame strangely, and bent over to look into the room.

Living with them were the six boys in Xu Yichen's class, and now there was only one left sitting on his own bed, holding an English book in his hand, and muttering.Xu Yichen slept on the lower bunk. After he made the bed, he put the pillow on his knees and sat there in a daze, staring straight at the floor.Xu Zhengqi sighed, walked over and sat down next to him, bumped him with his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Why are you in a daze? Are you nervous before the exam?!"

Xu Yichen was hit by him, and the pillow on his knee fell to the ground. He bent over to pick it up and patted it, shaking his head and saying, "I'm not nervous."

"Then what's wrong with you? Lost your mind?" Xu Zhengqi asked.

"... When I was packing things in the house this afternoon, I heard my dad talking to my mom outside. It sounded like something had happened. They spoke in a very anxious tone." Xu Yichen frowned recalling the scene in the afternoon. Frowning, "But after I came out, they seemed to be okay. I didn't ask them because the assembly time was approaching. Now that I think about it, I feel more and more wrong."

After hearing this, Xu Zhengqi patted his thigh lightly, "I thought there was something wrong! If something really happened, then I guess uncle and aunt must be talking about you. They are more nervous than you when you take the college entrance examination. What is more important than your son's college entrance examination?!"

Xu Yichen knew in his heart that things were definitely not as simple as Xu Zhengqi said, but the college entrance examination was going to be tomorrow, so he couldn't be distracted by these things now, the most important thing was to adjust his mentality and relax.

Xu Zhengqi was still about to say something when he heard the classmate who had been reciting English in a low voice suddenly coughed heavily and glanced at them.Xu Yichen and Xu Zhengqi glanced at each other, only talking to make people noisy.

"Come on, let's go to the campus!"

"Aren't you packing up?" Xu Yichen glanced at Xu Zhengqi's bed, and asked in a subdued voice.

"That's so easy, come back and clean up!"

Xu Yichen nodded in agreement, and the two of them took the valuables and left the dormitory while talking.The students who were reciting on the bed stared at them as they left, and looked down at the English books in their hands in confusion.

After coming out of the examination room, Xu Yichen walked towards the dormitory with a smile on his face all the way. He had a hunch that he would definitely pass the exam this time!

Xu Zhengqi is an optimist, and he doesn't have to worry about what to do if he fails the exam. After sitting in the car, he kept talking to Xu Yichen, "Where are we going to play after graduation? How can we celebrate?" Whatever he said, Xu Yichen just smiled. He nodded and didn't shake his head.It wasn't until the two were at the fork in the alley that Xu Yichen agreed to go back and ask his parents about it, and Xu Zhengqi happily waved his hands away.That happy look, those who didn't know thought he had won the "No. [-] Scholar".

Xu Yichen turned a corner, and unexpectedly saw his younger brother Xu Yihui standing at the door of the house, walked quickly a few steps, waved to him happily, and said with a smile, "Will you stand here to welcome me?"

Xu Yihui saw his brother returning with a smile on his face, carrying the luggage on his back, raised his head and shouted in a hoarse voice with burning eyes: "Brother..."

Xu Yichen froze his smiling face. He stared at his younger brother, his face gradually turned pale, and he turned around and ran into the house quickly.The small living room and the kitchen are connected together, and the small place is already crowded with people, either squatting or standing, and all of them have ugly faces. When they heard footsteps, they all turned their heads to look at Xu Yichen.

Xu Yichen looked at the people in the room, and heard the cries of his mother and Xu Fang, and his head went numb with a buzzing sound.

"What's the matter?" He asked everyone present, his voice trembling.

Mrs. Xu's wife, Mrs. Qin, saw that the eldest nephew was still carrying the bedding, and went over to help him take it off.Her eye sockets were also red, obviously from crying.Xu Yichen grabbed her hand, and his anxious voice changed, "Auntie, tell me, what's going on?"

When Qin's question was asked, her eyes immediately became hot. She took a sniff before barely holding back, turned her head to look at the others, sighed and pulled her eldest nephew out of the room, and then explained the matter clearly.

"Your parents didn't tell you because they were afraid that it would affect your college entrance examination. Didn't your father and your uncle earn a lot of money after cooperating with that person from the city? Wang Hu said half a month ago that he Signed two big hotels, wanting a lot of abalone, sea cucumber and crab. Your father and your uncle immediately spent a lot of money to buy it from someone and ship it over... As a result, wait for your father to call him again When it comes to counting the money, the phone can't get through. Your father is in a hurry, bought a train ticket with your uncle and rushed to that place, who knows..." Qin's tears immediately came down when he said this atmosphere, "Who would have thought that the money that cost thousands of knives had gone away? It turned out that the company that your father and uncle went to confirm was also fake. People there said that Wang Hu just rented a house with them, and they also I don't know where he went!"

After hearing this, Xu Yichen felt his head buzzing. His father was cheated out of a large sum of money. The money was not only from his father and uncle, but also from his neighbors. Now that the money is gone, how should he give it to him? These people explain together?

"Did you call the police?" Xu Yichen clenched his hands.

Xu Yihui kept watching from the side, and replied: "Reported, Dad reported it as soon as possible!"

"What's the use of calling the police? The police said that even if they catch someone, they may not be able to recover the money!" Qin said, wiping away tears.

Xu Yichen walked into the house in a nonchalant manner, "I'm going to see Dad."

Eldest Xu sat limply on the armchair in the bedroom. He wanted to make his family live a better life and create good conditions for his son and daughter, but he didn't believe that he spent all his family savings and owed his neighbors money. Big ass debt, which makes him face his family.As soon as Xu's second son saw his eldest son who had just returned from the college entrance examination, he immediately cried and his nose followed, covering his face with his hands and crying heartbreakingly, shouting, "Dad, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!"

Seeing his father like this, Xu Yichen saw two water marks come down, his face was also wet, and he wept silently.

============

A month later, through hard work, the police tracked down Wang Hu who was planning a new extortion in the northeast area, and recovered more than 3 yuan for Xu's second son.After Xu's second child got the money, together with the money Lou Meili borrowed from her brother-in-law who was in business, she returned it to the neighbors immediately, avoiding disputes.Boss Xu also lost a lot this time, but he didn't ask his younger brother for money. If he could have opened his eyes to see more clearly, maybe there would be no such problems.

The money owed to others is basically paid off, but the situation at home cannot be resolved.Although I can eat three meals a day, I don't have any extra money.Xu Lao Er was so worried all day that his hair turned gray, and he also aged a lot.In more than two months, the eldest son will go to college. Originally, his own savings plus borrowing from others could still support him to study, but now... all three children have to go to school, so they have to borrow How much is enough!In addition to such a situation, who would lend him the money?Who is not afraid that he will not pay the money!

Seeing her husband worrying about money, Lou Meili felt very entangled in her heart, but if she didn't do this, the family might not be able to survive in the future.That night, she finally made up her mind to send her second son away, planning to talk to her eldest son.

Xu Yichen saw the hard work and sorrow of his parents. He wanted to share it for his parents, but he didn't know what to do.He also had that idea before, but he couldn't cruelly deprive himself of his dream.But today, his mother spoke out for him, persuading him with tears of bitterness, telling him about her pain.

Xu Yichen felt empty in his heart, as if his soul had lost its home.Instead of agreeing or rejecting right away, he promised his mother that he would think about it.Lou Meili wiped her tears. She also knew that this was cruel to her son, but she had no choice but to leave the room after a few words of comfort.

Xu Yihui waited for his mother to come out, then turned around and went back to the house, saw his brother sitting on the stool in a daze, frowned and asked, "Brother, what did mom tell you?"

Xu Yichen didn't answer him, his mind was in a mess right now.

The author has something to say: Chapters 7 to [-] are all about Shoujun, and it is expected that Chapter [-] Gongjun will appear.What do you guys think?
