The days of being a fake son for President Xiao

If he gave up signing up to participate, the trophy in the recent Mathematical Olympiad competition must belong to him.

Lin Xiaofan rushed to the library in a hurry, out of breath, he glanced up at the clock on the wall, and then he was extremely thankful that he finally arrived at the last minute.

After he greeted the aunt in the library politely, he meticulously sorted the books returned by his classmates and put them on the bookshelf.This is one of his daily jobs. After school, he has to rush to the back kitchen of a restaurant to do the work of cleaning dishes.This job was not easy to come by. The boss was unwilling to recruit child labor at the beginning. He begged the boss for a long time before he let go.

It usually takes late at night to get home after finishing the second job. Grandpa Lin felt sorry for his exhaustion and refused to let him work, saying that he would raise him until he graduated from university.But Xiaofan knows that Grandpa Lin has no children and no one to depend on for his old age.His health is deteriorating, and his life savings from wandering and working hard when he was young still have to support the expenses of seeing a doctor and taking medicine. Grandpa's burden is fully capable of taking on the responsibility of supporting himself.

Xiaofan did his library work well, quickened his pace, and hurried back to the classroom before the bell rang. Along the way, from time to time, some juniors and girls greeted him, and Xiaofan had to stop and respond with a polite smile. .

This is no longer the closed school in Linjia Village where the rumors spread. The dilapidated school collapsed on a heavy rainy night. Since then, all the students in the village have moved to the primary school in the town.

Children who have entered the rebellious period of youth will not pay attention to the specious rumors. Xiaofan's intelligence, modesty, politeness and even outstanding appearance quickly won the love of his classmates, so his popularity is quite good.

Life seems to be on the right track. At school, he is a smart and well-behaved good student, a humble and polite senior. At home, he is a good boy who is sensible and filial.It seems that the hurt and lack of love in the past did not leave a trace on him.He has grown into a healthy young man praised by everyone, but such an excellent young man still does not please his father, but the love of his father who has brought him countless injuries is also insignificant to him.

No one would know how many times the seemingly sunny and positive boy held a watch late at night, stroked it over and over again with trembling fingers, and looked sad and helpless.He has not forgotten the big brother who brought him the first warmth, even though so many years have passed, there is still no news of him.But he never felt any resentment because of it. He remembered that he said that he would come to pick him up, and that he said that the sun that dispelled the clouds needs to be created by himself.He has been obediently waiting for him quietly and patiently, and has been determined to work hard.The desire to see his brother again has never faded, and it has been urgent for several years. He once sneaked to the door of the aquarium that Xiao Zheng took him to, watching the children coming and going and the happy smiles of their parents. Picking up childhood memories, I imagined whether my young self was smiling brightly and contentedly like these children loved by their parents, and even wondered whether Xiao Zheng would appear suddenly, whether he could recognize him at a glance Will the self who has grown up show some comfort for the child who has grown up according to his requirements?

Of course his hope was in vain, Xiao Zheng never appeared.Therefore, he once had the idea of ​​going to Xiao Zheng's city to find him, and then, after waking up, he would be frightened by his own crazy thoughts, and then shook his head vigorously to drive out the unrealistic thoughts.He can only desperately hope that he will grow up a little bit more. When the college entrance examination, he will apply for the same university as Xiao Zheng, which is also the city where Xiao Zheng lives.

After Lin Xiaofan wiped the last bowl, he hurriedly stood up, the movement was so fast that his legs and feet that were numb from squatting for too long twitched violently, he had to stabilize his body and quietly adapt to the discomfort in his body.The hour hand on the wall had already pointed to eight o'clock, and he became more and more anxious. Today, because school was late, he went to work late accordingly.

Grandpa Lin is still waiting for him to come home.

17

The place where he works provides dinner. More than once, he asked Grandpa Lin, who is not in good health, to rest first, so that he doesn't have to wait for him to go home.But Grandpa Lin was worried about himself, and sat at home waiting for him to come back every day, but Xiaofan couldn't resist him, waiting stubbornly and patiently, forcing Xiaofan to sneak home like a little rabbit every day after get off work.

He took the bike and stepped on the seat with his long legs. This is a second-hand old bicycle he bought with the money he earned from part-time jobs. He pedaled hard, and the bike slid quickly across the deserted mountain road. , the icy night wind was blowing, Xiaofan shrank his neck, ignoring the chill that invaded his lungs, and pedaled faster and faster.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Looking at the brightly lit house from a distance, Xiaofan let go of his voice and shouted to the house.He parked the car in the yard like lightning, and rushed into the house like a gust of wind.

"It's Xiaofan who's back!" Grandpa Lin's voice came, and he stood up tremblingly.I don't know if it was because of too much movement or something, but the old man suddenly trembled and was about to fall down.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Xiaofan quickly supported him with sharp eyes and hands.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just an old problem." Grandpa Lin waved his hand at Xiaofan, "It's good that Xiaofan comes back, today is later than usual, and Grandpa is worried."

Xiaofan helped Grandpa Lin to the bedroom, "Grandpa, this weekend I will transfer shifts with my colleagues, and I will accompany you to the big hospital for an examination. Even if it is an old problem, we have to pay attention to it."

If Xiaofan had the ability to predict the future, or if he could pay more attention to it, he would not regret his procrastination for the rest of his life.

The next day, I don't know if it was because of being too tired recently, but Xiaofan felt restless for a while.During the math class in the afternoon, Xiaofan was distracted and thought about it, and he had to finish his work early in the evening and rest.This idea stayed in his mind for a while, Xiaofan, who was about to re-enter the lecture, saw the class teacher interrupt the math teacher who was in class for the first time, and then called himself solemnly.

He walked up to the head teacher in a daze, and before he could ask, the head teacher hurriedly said to him: "Xiaofan, just now the hospital called to say that your grandpa is dying of cerebral hemorrhage."

In an instant, as if a splash of cold water poured down the sky, Lin Xiaofan's body was as cold as ice.He swallowed his saliva to suppress the waves of dizziness, and immediately ran to the hospital.

Under the guidance of the nurse, Xiaofan gently pushed open the door of the ward.

The benevolent Grandpa Lin, who always protects Xiaofan behind his back and stands like a pine tree to Xiaofan, is lying on a white hospital bed in a very weak state, with tubes and respirators all over his body. The device beside him showed that he still had vital signs, Xiaofan almost thought he had stopped breathing.

"The patient was left at home and no one cares about him. He missed the best time for emergency treatment. When he arrived, he was helpless. The old man said that he has no children but only one grandson. Now he is holding his breath and wants to see you for the last time."

The nurse's voice drifted into Xiaofan's ears intermittently, Xiaofan lost all his strength, and his heart felt as if thousands of needles were gathering in his heart. He felt as if he was dreaming.

Just when Xiaofan was walking towards the hospital bed with difficulty, Grandpa Lin, who had been on the verge of death, opened his eyes like a flash of light, and he slowly stretched out a hand towards Xiaofan.

Xiaofan grasped it immediately, her voice was already crying: "Grandpa..."

"Xiaofan..." Grandpa Lin's weak voice was very soft, Xiaofan put half of his body on Grandpa Lin's body, tears streaming down, patter patter on the white sheet, leaving circles Round water stains.

"Grandpa really wants to see Xiaofan get admitted to university...become famous...it's a pity that grandpa can't wait..." Grandpa Lin panted for a while.

"No, Grandpa, Grandpa wait for me." Lin Xiaofan broke down in tears, holding Grandpa Lin's cold hand with both hands, trying to warm it with his own body temperature.

"Xiaofan...don't be sad...you are a sensible child...Grandpa Lin knows that you have been working around to earn tuition for yourself...Grandpa doesn't want you to work so hard...Grandpa prepared a sum of money for Xiaofan...just let it go In the safe of our house... Xiaofan knows where the key is placed... From now on Xiaofan will be the only one left...Grandpa believes that you can take care of yourself...Listen to Grandpa...Study hard... Realize our common wish... shall we?"

Grandpa Lin suddenly held Xiaofan's hands backhanded, with great strength, it was the only strength he had.

"Okay... I promise grandpa..." Xiaofan's eyes were blurred by tears, and he nodded vigorously while crying.Immediately afterwards, he heard the alarm beeping sound from the equipment connected to his grandfather, the door of the ward was pushed vigorously, and countless people rushed forward.

"grandfather……"

There was a heart-piercing cry from the chaotic ward.

Grandpa Lin's funeral was extremely simple according to his wishes.

The highest mountain in Linjia Village is halfway up the mountain, which is the final destination of Grandpa Lin.Lin Xiaofan knelt on the ground alone after the village chief left, from the noon when the sun was shining to the evening when the sun was setting.

The bits and pieces of pictures of getting along with Grandpa Lin in the past flashed through my mind one by one like watching a lantern on a horse.

The first time I met, I handed myself a candy to comfort myself who was sobbing because of my father's bruises and bruises; I appeared countless times like a god to rescue myself from my father's fist; I was willing to adopt myself and do my best to provide myself with a better life A kind old man; he tried his best to protect himself and taught him all his skills...everyone who was good to him left him...as if he was destined to be alone...

Xiaofan thought of Xiao Zheng.

he's still there, he's not
